SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

The matters discussed in this Quarterly Report contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which are not statements of historical fact, contain estimates, assumptions, projections and/or expectations regarding future events, which may or may not occur. Words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “foresee,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “seek,” “shall,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would,” or variations thereof, and other expressions that refer to future events and trends, identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, and financial or other business targets, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results, performance or achievements of the Company expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Certain risks and uncertainties are discussed in more detail under “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and include, but are not limited to, risks and uncertainties relating to: fluctuations in demand affecting sales to customers; the financial condition and inventory strategies of customers; changes in customer order patterns; worldwide and local economic conditions; fluctuations in cost and availability of raw materials; ability of the Company to generate sustained productivity improvement; ability of the Company to achieve and sustain targeted cost reductions; impact of competitive products and pricing; loss of significant contract(s) or customer(s); collection of receivables from customers; business mix shift; changes in tax laws and regulations; uncertainties associated with interpretations of tax laws and regulations; timely development and market acceptance of new products, including sustainable or sustainably-sourced products; investment in development activities and new production facilities; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and other risks associated with foreign operations; integration of acquisitions and execution of divestitures; strategic transactions and related costs; customer and supplier concentrations; successful implementation of new manufacturing technologies and installation of manufacturing equipment; disruptions in information technology systems; successful installation of new or upgraded information technology systems; volatility of financial markets; impairment of capitalized assets, including goodwill and other intangibles; credit risks; ability of the Company and its customers to obtain adequate financing arrangements and maintain access to capital; fluctuations in interest and tax rates; fluctuations in pension, insurance and employee benefit costs; impact of legal and regulatory proceedings, including with respect to environmental, health and safety; changes in governmental laws and regulations; changes in political conditions; impact of epidemiological events on the economy and the Company’s customers and suppliers; acts of war, terrorism, and natural disasters; and other factors.

The Company believes that the most significant risk factors that could affect its financial performance in the near-term include: (1) economic conditions on underlying demand for the Company’s products; (2) the degree to which higher costs can be offset with productivity measures and/or passed on to customers through selling price increases, without a significant loss of volume; (3) competitors’ actions, including pricing, expansion in key markets, and product offerings; and (4) changes in tax laws, regulations, and uncertainties associated with interpretations of such laws and regulations.

The Company’s forward-looking statements represent judgments only on the dates such statements were made. By making these forward-looking statements, the Company assumes no duty to update them to reflect new, changed or unanticipated events or circumstances, other than as may be required by law.

The Company contributed $26.8 million and $1.6 million to its U.S. pension plans during the six months ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, respectively. The Company contributed $.9 million and $1.6 million to its U.S. postretirement health benefit plan during the six months ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, respectively.

The Company contributed approximately $10 million and approximately $14 million to its international pension plans during the six months ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, respectively.

The Company recognized expense of $6.3 million and $15.5 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011, respectively, and $2.8 million and $6.3 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2010, respectively, related to its match of participant contributions to its U.S. defined contribution plan. This expense was funded using shares of the Company’s common stock held in the Company’s Employee Stock Benefit Trust (“ESBT”). Subsequent to the quarter ended July 2, 2011, the ESBT was terminated and the Company began funding this expense using shares of the Company’s common stock held in treasury.

Note 6. Research and Development

Research and development expense for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011 was $25.8 million and $50.9 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended July 3, 2010, research and development expense was $23.5 million and $46.3 million, respectively. Research and development expense was included in “Marketing, general and administrative expense” in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 7. Stock-Based Compensation

Net income included stock-based compensation expense related to stock options, performance units (“PUs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and restricted stock of $9 million and $20.7 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011, respectively, and $8.6 million and $16.2 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2010, respectively. Total stock-based compensation expense was included in “Marketing, general and administrative expense” in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

In February and April 2011, the Company granted its annual stock-based compensation awards to eligible employees and directors, respectively. Awards granted to retirement-eligible employees vest in full upon retirement; as such, awards to these employees are treated as though the awards were fully vested at the date of grant. Compensation expense related to awards granted to retirement-eligible employees of $4.5 million and $.6 million was recognized and included in stock-based compensation expense during the six months ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, respectively.

As of July 2, 2011, the Company had approximately $72 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options, PUs, RSUs and restricted stock under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. The unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average requisite service period of approximately three years for stock options and RSUs, two years for PUs, and one year for restricted stock.

Through the second quarter of 2011, exercises of stock options and releases of RSUs and PUs were settled using shares of the Company’s common stock held in the ESBT. Subsequent to the quarter ended July 2, 2011, the ESBT was terminated and the Company began using shares of the Company’s common stock held in treasury to settle exercises of stock options and releases of RSUs.

Note 8. Cost Reduction Actions

Severance charges under the restructuring actions below were recorded to “Other current liabilities” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Severance and related costs represented cash paid or to be paid to employees terminated under these

actions. Asset impairments were based on the estimated market value of the assets. Charges below were included in “Other expense, net” in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

2011

During the first six months of 2011, the Company implemented restructuring actions and recorded charges of $13.5 million, which consisted of $9.6 million of severance and related costs and $3.9 million of asset impairment and lease cancellation charges. These actions will result in the reduction of approximately 355 positions impacting all segments and geographic regions. As of July 2, 2011, approximately 85 of these employees remained with the Company and are expected to leave in 2011.

Accruals and payments for severance and related costs and charges for asset impairments and lease cancellations, by reportable segment and other businesses during the periods presented, were as follows:

In 2010, the Company continued its cost reduction program initiated in late 2008 and implemented additional restructuring actions resulting in the reduction of approximately 1,040 positions, impairment of certain assets, and lease cancellations. At July 2, 2011, approximately 235 employees impacted by these actions remained with the Company, and are expected to leave in 2011. In 2010, charges related to these actions totaled $19 million, including severance and related costs of $15.3 million, and asset impairment and lease cancellation charges of $3.7 million.

Accruals and payments for severance and related costs and charges for asset impairments and lease cancellations, by reportable segment and other businesses during the periods presented, were as follows:

Note 9. Financial Instruments and Foreign Currency

The Company enters into certain foreign exchange hedge contracts to reduce its risk from exchange rate fluctuations associated with receivables, payables, loans and firm commitments denominated in certain foreign currencies that arise primarily as a result of its operations outside the U.S. The Company enters into certain interest rate contracts to help manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The Company also enters into certain natural gas and other commodity futures contracts to hedge price fluctuations for a portion of its anticipated domestic purchases. The maximum length of time for which the Company hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 12 to 24 months.

As of July 2, 2011, the aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of the Company’s outstanding commodity contracts and foreign exchange contracts was $9.8 million and $1.28 billion, respectively.

The Company recognizes all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company designates commodity forward contracts on forecasted purchases of commodities and foreign exchange contracts on forecasted transactions as cash flow hedges and foreign exchange contracts on existing balance sheet items as fair value hedges.

The following table provides the balances and locations of derivatives as of July 2, 2011:

		Asset								Liability
(In millions)		Balance Sheet Location				Fair Value				Balance Sheet Location				Fair Value
Foreign exchange contracts		Other current assets				$	6.0			Other current liabilities				$	7.1
Commodity contracts		Other current assets					—			Other current liabilities					1.5
						$	6.0							$	8.6

The following table provides the balances and locations of derivatives as of January 1, 2011:

		Asset								Liability
(In millions)		Balance Sheet Location				Fair Value				Balance Sheet Location				Fair Value
Foreign exchange contracts		Other current assets				$	16.8			Other current liabilities				$	7.9
Commodity contracts		Other current assets					.1			Other current liabilities					2.4
						$	16.9							$	10.3

Fair Value Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings, resulting in no net material impact to income.

The following table provides the components of the gain (loss) recognized in income related to fair value hedge contracts. The corresponding gains or losses on the underlying hedged items approximated the net gain (loss) on these fair value hedge contracts.

						Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
(In millions)		Location of Gain (Loss) in Income				July 2, 2011				July 3, 2010				July 2, 2011				July 3, 2010
Foreign exchange contracts		Cost of products sold				$	.1			$	(1.1	)		$	.8			$	(1.9	)

						$	(6.7	)		$	16.3			$	(1.2	)		$	31.4

Cash Flow Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” and reclassified into earnings in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings.

Avery Dennison Corporation

Amounts recognized in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” (effective portion) on derivatives related to cash flow hedge contracts were as follows:

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
(In millions)		July 2, 2011				July 3, 2010				July 2, 2011				July 3, 2010
Foreign exchange contracts		$	(.6	)		$	(2.3	)		$	(.4	)		$	(3.3	)

		$	(1.0	)		$	(4.0	)		$	(1.0	)		$	(6.1	)

Amounts reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” (effective portion) related to cash flow hedge contracts were as follows:

						Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
(In millions)		Location of Loss in Income				July 2, 2011				July 3, 2010				July 2, 2011				July 3, 2010
Foreign exchange contracts		Cost of products sold				$	(.1	)		$	(.2	)		$	(.6	)		$	(.9	)

						$	(1.6	)		$	(2.1	)		$	(4.0	)		$	(5.4	)

As of July 2, 2011, a net loss of approximately $7 million is expected to be reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to earnings within the next 12 months. See Note 12, “Comprehensive Income,” for more information.

Foreign Currency

Transactions in foreign currencies (including receivables, payables and loans denominated in currencies other than the functional currency) decreased net income by $.8 million and $3.5 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011, respectively, and $1.9 million and $3 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2010, respectively. These amounts exclude the effects from translation of foreign currencies on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the three and six months ended July 2, 2011 and July 3, 2010, no translation gains or losses for hyperinflationary economies were recognized in net income since the Company had no operations in hyperinflationary economies.

Note 10. Taxes Based on Income

The following table summarizes the Company’s income before taxes, provision for income taxes, and effective tax rate:

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
(In millions)		July 2, 2011				July 3, 2010				July 2, 2011				July 3, 2010
Income before taxes		$	110.8			$	125.8			$	178.2			$	202.7
Provision for income taxes			37.5				42.0				60.1				64.2
Effective tax rate			34	%			33	%			34	%			32	%

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011 included an expense of $2.9 million and $6.2 million, respectively, from discrete events, primarily for tax return true-ups and accruals related to tax contingencies. The Company’s effective tax rate is lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to the Company’s operations in jurisdictions outside the U.S. where statutory tax rates are generally lower. Additional deferred taxes are not provided for most foreign earnings because the Company currently plans to indefinitely reinvest these amounts.

The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing audits by taxing jurisdictions around the world. The Company’s estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to management’s assessment of relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at that time. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, the Company’s future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to its estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made, revised or resolved, which may impact the Company’s effective tax rate and the amount of cash payments for taxes. With some exceptions, the Company and its subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2006.

It is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months the Company may realize a decrease in its gross uncertain tax positions by

Avery Dennison Corporation

approximately $35 million, primarily as the result of making cash payments and closing tax years. The Company anticipates that it is reasonably possible that cash payments of up to $8 million relating to gross uncertain tax positions could be made within the next 12 months.

Subsequent to the quarter ended July 2, 2011, tax authorities in a foreign jurisdiction offered to settle certain tax matters relating to the 2002 through 2005 tax years for approximately $25 million. The Company is currently evaluating its options regarding this matter. However, considering the technical merits of the Company’s position, the Company has not recorded a reserve for uncertain tax positions related to this matter.

Note 11. Net Income Per Share

Net income per common share was computed as follows:

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
(In millions, except per share amounts)		July 2, 2011				July 3, 2010				July 2, 2011				July 3, 2010
(A) Net income available to common shareholders		$	73.3			$	83.8			$	118.1			$	138.5
(B) Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding			105.7				105.6				105.6				105.5
Dilutive shares (additional common shares issuable under employee stock-based awards)			1.2				1.2				1.2				1.1
(C) Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, assuming dilution			106.9				106.8				106.8				106.6
Net income per common share (A) ÷ (B)		$	.69			$	.79			$	1.12			$	1.31
Net income per common share, assuming dilution (A) ÷ (C)		$	.69			$	.78			$	1.11			$	1.30

Certain employee stock-based awards were not included in the computation of net income per common share, assuming dilution, because they would not have had a dilutive effect. Employee stock-based awards excluded from the computation totaled approximately 10 million shares and 11 million shares for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011, respectively, and approximately 8 million shares and 9 million shares for the three and six months ended and July 3, 2010, respectively.

Note 12. Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income includes net income, foreign currency translation adjustment, net actuarial loss, prior service cost and net transition assets, net of tax, and the gains or losses on the effective portion of cash flow and firm commitment hedges, net of tax, that are currently presented as a component of shareholders’ equity. The Company’s total comprehensive income was $77.4 million and $191.8 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011, respectively, and $37.5 million and $66 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2010, respectively.

The components of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” (net of tax, with the exception of the foreign currency translation adjustment) in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:

(In millions)		July 2, 2011				January 1, 2011
Foreign currency translation adjustment		$	253.0			$	187.3
Net actuarial loss, prior service cost and net transition assets, less amortization			(316.1	)			(321.2	)
Net loss on derivative instruments designated as cash flow and firm commitment hedges			(6.1	)			(9.0	)
Accumulated other comprehensive loss		$	(69.2	)		$	(142.9	)

Cash flow and firm commitment hedging instrument activities in other comprehensive loss, net of tax, for the six months ended July 2, 2011, were as follows:

(In millions)
Beginning accumulated derivative loss		$	(9.0	)
Net loss reclassified to earnings			4.0
Net change in the revaluation of hedging transactions			(1.1	)
Ending accumulated derivative loss		$	(6.1	)

Available for sale securities are measured at fair value using quoted prices and classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Derivatives that are exchange-traded are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Derivatives measured based on inputs that are readily available in public markets are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Available for sale securities were included in “Other current assets” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

Long-lived assets with carrying amounts totaling $4.4 million were written down to their fair value of $1.3 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $3.1 million for the six months ended July 2, 2011, which was included in “Other expense, net” in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. Of the $1.3 million, $1.1 million was primarily based on Level 2 inputs and $.2 million was primarily based on Level 3 inputs.

Long-lived assets with carrying amounts totaling $2.4 million were written down to their fair value of $1.9 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $.5 million for the three and six months ended July 3, 2010, respectively, which was included in “Other expense, net” in the unaudited Consolidated Statement of Income. Fair value amounts were primarily based on Level 2 inputs.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various lawsuits, claims, inquiries, and other regulatory and compliance matters, most of which are routine to the nature of the Company’s business. Based upon current information, management believes that the impact of the resolution of these other matters is not, individually or in the aggregate, material to the Company’s financial position, or is not estimable.

Environmental

As of July 2, 2011, the Company has been designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and/or other responsible

Avery Dennison Corporation

state agencies as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) at fourteen waste disposal or waste recycling sites, which are the subject of separate investigations or proceedings concerning alleged soil and/or groundwater contamination and for which no settlement of the Company’s liability has been agreed. The Company is participating with other PRPs at such sites, and anticipates that its share of cleanup costs will be determined pursuant to remedial agreements entered into in the normal course of negotiations with the EPA or other governmental authorities.

The Company has accrued liabilities for sites where it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the cost or amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Because of the uncertainties associated with environmental assessment and remediation activities, future expense to remediate these sites could be higher than the liabilities accrued by the Company; however, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate a range of potential expenses. If information becomes available that allows the Company to reasonably estimate the range of potential expenses or an amount higher or lower than what it has accrued, the Company will adjust its environmental liabilities accordingly. In addition, the Company could identify additional sites for cleanup in the future. The range of expense for remediation of any future-identified sites will be addressed at the time of identification; consequently, until such sites are identified, the range of expense for remediation cannot be determined.

The activity for the six months ended July 2, 2011 related to environmental liabilities was as follows:

(In millions)
Balance at January 1, 2011		$	46.3
Accruals			.6
Payments			(2.4	)
Balance at July 2, 2011		$	44.5

As of July 2, 2011, approximately $12 million of the total environmental liabilities balance was included in “Other current liabilities” in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

These estimates could change as a result of changes in planned remedial actions, remediation technologies, site conditions, the estimated time to complete remediation, environmental laws and regulations, and other factors.

Other

On September 9, 2005, the Company completed a ten-year lease financing for a commercial facility located in Mentor, Ohio, used primarily for the headquarters and research center of its Label and Packaging Materials division. The facility consists generally of land, buildings, equipment and office furnishings. The Company leases the facility under an operating lease arrangement, which contains a residual value guarantee of $33.4 million as well as certain obligations with respect to the refinancing of the lessor’s debt of $12 million (together defined as the “Guarantee”). At the end of the lease term, the Company has an option to either purchase or remarket the facility at an amount equivalent to the value of the Guarantee. As of July 2, 2011, the Company estimated a shortfall with respect to the Guarantee, which is being recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. The carrying amount of the shortfall was $1.3 million at July 2, 2011.

The Company participates in international receivable financing programs with several financial institutions whereby advances may be requested from these financial institutions. These advances are guaranteed by the Company. At July 2, 2011, the Company had guaranteed approximately $15 million.

As of July 2, 2011, the Company guaranteed up to approximately $17 million of certain foreign subsidiaries’ obligations to their suppliers, as well as approximately $477 million of certain subsidiaries’ lines of credit with various financial institutions.

Note 16. Recent Accounting Requirements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a final standard requiring entities to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or in two, but consecutive, statements of net income and other comprehensive income. Under both alternatives, an entity is required to present each component of net income and other comprehensive income, their respective totals, and totals for comprehensive income. This standard eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The amendment is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

In May 2011, the FASB amended fair value measurement and disclosure guidance. The amended guidance clarified existing fair value measurement guidance, revised certain measurement guidance and expanded the disclosure requirements concerning Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

In January 2010, the FASB updated accounting guidance regarding fair value measurement disclosure. This guidance requires companies to disclose the amount of significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the reasons for these transfers and for any transfers in or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, the guidance clarifies certain existing disclosure requirements. This updated guidance was effective at the beginning of 2010 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosures.

In October 2009, the FASB issued guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. The guidance revises the criteria for separating, measuring, and allocating arrangement consideration to each deliverable in a multiple element arrangement. The guidance requires companies to allocate revenue using the relative selling price of each deliverable, which must be estimated if the Company does not have a history of selling the deliverable on a stand-alone basis or third-party evidence of selling price. The Company adopted this guidance at the beginning of 2011. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

In June 2009, the FASB issued changes to consolidation accounting. Among other items, these changes respond to concerns about the application of certain key provisions of previous accounting standards, including those regarding the transparency of the involvement with variable interest entities. The Company adopted these changes at the beginning of 2010. These changes did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

ORGANIZATION OF INFORMATION

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” provides a narrative concerning our financial performance and condition, and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. It includes the following sections:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures			16
Forward-Looking Statements			16
Overview and Outlook			17
Analysis of Results of Operations for the Second Quarter			19
Results of Operations by Segment for the Second Quarter			20
Analysis of Results of Operations for the Six Months Year-to-Date			22

Financial Condition			26
Recent Accounting Requirements			29

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. Our discussion of financial results includes several non-GAAP financial measures to provide additional information concerning our operating performance and liquidity measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, nor are they a substitute for, the comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement our presentation of our financial results that are prepared in accordance with GAAP. Based upon feedback from investors and financial analysts, we believe that supplemental non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is useful to the assessment of our performance and operating trends, as well as liquidity.

Non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain events, activities or strategic decisions. The accounting effects of these events, activities or decisions, which are included in the GAAP financial measures, may make it difficult to assess our underlying performance in a single period. By excluding certain accounting effects, both positive and negative, from certain of our GAAP financial measures, we believe that we are providing meaningful supplemental information to facilitate an understanding of our core or underlying operating results, liquidity, and cash flows. These non-GAAP financial measures are used internally to evaluate trends in our underlying business, as well as to facilitate comparison to the results of competitors for a single period. While some of the items we exclude from GAAP financial measures recur, these items tend to be disparate in amount, frequency, and timing.

We use the following non-GAAP financial measures:

•

Organic sales growth (decline) is an operating performance measure that refers to the change in sales excluding the estimated impact of currency translation and, where applicable, the extra week in fiscal year 2009.

•

Free cash flow is an operating performance measure that refers to cash flow from operations, less net payments for capital expenditures, software and other deferred charges, plus net proceeds from sale (purchase) of investments. Free cash flow excludes mandatory debt service requirements and other uses of cash that do not directly or immediately support the underlying business (such as discretionary debt reductions, dividends, share repurchases and acquisitions, etc.).

•

Operational working capital is an operating performance measure that refers to trade accounts receivable and inventories, net of accounts payable. This non-GAAP financial measure excludes cash and cash equivalents, short-term debt, deferred taxes, other current assets and other current liabilities, as well as current assets and current liabilities of held-for-sale businesses.

Factors affecting changes in net income in the first six months of 2011 compared to the same period last year included:

Positive factors:

	•		Pricing actions
	•		Cost savings from productivity initiatives, including savings from restructuring actions
	•		Lower employee-related costs, including incentive compensation

Negative factors:

	•		Raw material inflation
	•		Lower volume
	•		Higher investments in growth and infrastructure

Cost Reduction Actions

2011 Actions

In the first six months of 2011, we recorded approximately $14 million in charges, consisting of severance and related costs for the reduction of approximately 355 positions, asset impairment charges, and lease cancellation costs. We anticipate approximately $27 million in annualized savings from these restructuring actions to be realized by the end of 2012.

Q3 2010 — Q4 2010 Actions

In the second half of 2010, we recorded approximately $10 million in charges, consisting of severance and related costs for the reduction of approximately 725 positions, asset impairment charges, and lease cancellation costs. We anticipate approximately $12 million in annualized savings from these restructuring actions to be realized by the end of 2012.

Q4 2008 — Q2 2010 Program

In the fourth quarter of 2008, we initiated a restructuring program that generated approximately $180 million in annualized savings. We realized actual savings, net of transition costs, of approximately $75 million in 2009 and an incremental $72 million in 2010. We expect the remainder of the savings to be realized in 2011.

We recorded approximately $150 million in charges (of which $105 million represents cash charges) related to this restructuring program, consisting of severance and related costs, asset impairment charges, and lease cancellation costs. Of the total charges,

Avery Dennison Corporation

approximately $12 million was recorded in 2008, $129 million was recorded in 2009, and $9 million was recorded in 2010. Severance and related costs were related to approximately 4,350 positions. We do not expect to incur any further charges related to this program.

Refer to Note 8, “Cost Reduction Actions,” to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail.

Effective Rate of Taxes on Income

The effective tax rate was approximately 34% for the six months ended July 2, 2011 and approximately 32% for the six months ended July 3, 2010. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2011 included an expense of $6.2 million from discrete events, primarily for tax return true-ups and accruals related to tax contingencies. Refer to Note 10, “Taxes Based on Income,” to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Free Cash Flow

We use free cash flow as an operating performance measure of funds available for uses of cash that do not directly or immediately support our underlying businesses, such as dividends, debt reductions, acquisitions, and share repurchases. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure provides meaningful supplemental information to our investors to assist them in their financial analysis of the Company.

		Six Months Ended
(In millions)		July 2, 2011				July 3, 2010
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities		$	(95.2	)		$	143.1
Purchase of property, plant and equipment, net			(53.1	)			(27.4	)
Purchase of software and other deferred charges			(16.1	)			(10.4	)
(Purchase) proceeds from sale of investments, net (1)			(.7	)			.4
Free cash flow		$	(165.1	)		$	105.7

Free cash flow in the first six months of 2011 reflected the amount and timing of inventory purchases and payments; payments of 2010 employee bonuses and customer trade rebates; the timing of collections of accounts receivable; contributions to our pension plans; and net spending on property, plant, and equipment. See “Analysis of Results of Operations” and “Liquidity” below for more information.

2011 Outlook

Certain factors that we believe may contribute to results for 2011 compared to results for 2010 are listed below.

We expect revenue to increase and earnings to decrease in 2011, the extent to which is subject, but not limited to, the impact of economic conditions on underlying demand for our products, and the amount of higher costs, principally due to expected raw material inflation, that can be offset with productivity measures and/or price increases.

We expect aggregate contributions to our pension plans (both domestic and international) of at least $50 million in 2011.

We anticipate 2011 interest expense to be comparable to 2010. Our assumptions on interest expense are subject to changes in market rates through the remainder of the year.

We expect our annual effective tax rate to be higher in 2011. Our annual effective tax rate may be impacted by future events including changes in tax laws, geographic income mix, repatriation of cash, tax audits, closure of tax years, legal entity restructuring, and changes in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Our effective tax rate can potentially have wide variances from quarter to quarter, resulting from interim reporting requirements and the recognition of discrete events.

We anticipate increased investments in marketing, research and development, and infrastructure.

We anticipate our capital and software expenditures to be approximately $150 million.

Net Sales

Sales increased 3% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period last year, due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation (approximately $79 million), partially offset by a decline in sales on an organic basis.

On an organic basis, sales declined 2% in the second quarter of 2011, primarily reflecting lower volumes in the Pressure-sensitive Materials and Retail Branding and Information Solutions segments, driven primarily by lower market demand. Volume declines were partially offset by the impact of changes in pricing.

Refer to “Results of Operations by Segment for the Second Quarter” for information by reportable segment and other businesses.

Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2011 declined compared to the same period last year, as the impact of raw material inflation, lower volume, and the unfavorable impact of currency translation, more than offset the benefits of pricing actions and productivity initiatives.

Marketing, General and Administrative Expense

The decrease in marketing, general and administrative expense in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period last year primarily reflected lower employee-related costs including incentive compensation, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.
