Factors Likely to Have Shaped AVY’s Q1 Performance
Avery Dennison’s first-quarter results are likely to reflect improved volumes in both segments. However, higher raw material, labor and freight costs are expected to have impacted the company’s margins. The impacts are anticipated to have been offset by AVY’s productivity improvement and cost-saving actions.
Our model predicts the Materials Group segment’s revenues to rise 5.4% year over year in the quarter to $1.56 billion. The upside will be driven by growth in high-value categories, including Intelligent Labels, and growth in graphics and reflectives. Our estimate for the Materials Group segment’s adjusted operating profit is pinned at $237 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 3.1%.
High-value categories and productivity are expected to have aided the Solutions Group segment's growth. Our model predicts the Solutions Group segment’s revenues to be $701 million, indicating an increase of 4.9% from the prior-year quarter’s actual.
Our estimate for the segment’s operating profit is pinned at $65 million, implying a decrease of 4.3% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure. Higher employee-related costs and growth
Investments are expected to have hurt margins.
