Avery’s chair and CEO Mitch Butier said: “Volumes in our Materials businesses continue to recover from slow market conditions, largely destocking, while our Intelligent Labels platform accelerates adoption into new categories.

“While it’s good to see the continuing sequential improvements in our Materials businesses and the building momentum in Intelligent Labels, the pace of our recovery is slower than anticipated.”

For the first half (H1) of FY23, Avery registered a net income of $221.6m while the previous year’s H1 net income was $412.7m.

Net sales also decreased to $4.15bn in H1 FY23 from $4.69bn a year ago.

For the upcoming Q3 FY23, the company is expecting its reported EPS to range between $1.70 to $1.90.

Avery president and COO Deon Stander said: “We remain confident this period of challenging results will soon pass. Our leadership positions in large diverse growing markets, the strategic foundations we have laid, and the dedication and expertise of our team positions us well to continue to deliver GDP+ growth and top-quartile returns over the long run.”
