Net Sales Increased 18.4% over prior year

 

·       Net effect of paxar acquisition was approx 14%

·       Currency added 6% ($0.05 benefit to earning per share)

·       Sales declined approximately 2% on an organic basis

 

 

Operating margin before restricting and asset impairment charges and transition costs associated with the paxar integration declined by 200 basis points vs. Prior year

 

·       Decline reflects carryover of 2007 price reductions in the roll materials business, raw materials inflation, navigates degment and products mix, as well as reduced fixed cost leverage

·       Headwinds also including 50 basis ponts of margin compression from addition of base paxar business ( margin of base business is lower than company – average before integration savings)

 

 

Annual effective tax rate for 2008 expected to be in the 15%-18% range (down from18%-12% originally)

 

·       Ongoing annual tax rate now expected to be in the 17% -19% range for the foreseeable future (down from 18%-20% previously), subject to significant volatility from quarter to quarter

·       Effective tax rate for the quarter was negative (12.3%), primarily due to recognition of $21 million tax benefit from increased ability to realize deferred tax assets

 

 

Reported EPS of $0.69 includes $0.11 of restructuring charges, assets impairment and transition costs for paxar integration

 

·       $0.06 of Transition costs associated with paxar integration

·       $0.05 of restructuring and assets impairment charges

 

 

Adjusted EPS of $0.80

Pressure Sensitive Materials:

 

Reported sales of $920 million up 7% compared with prior year

·       Organic sales growth of approx 1% slower than Q4pace

 

Change in sales for roll materials business by region, adjusted for the effect of currency and intercompany sales:

 

·       Europe up at low single digit rate (improved vs.Q4 pace)

·       North America declined at low single digit rate (Similar to 2H-07)

·       Asia Growth in Mid-teens

·       South America Roughly comparable to prior year

 

Graphics and reflective business down mid-single digit rate before currency

 

Excluding restructuring and asset impairment charge, operating margin declined 170 basis points vs prior years to 8.0% as the negative effects of pricing and raw materials inflating more than offset benefits from restructuring and other productivity initiatives.

 

 

Retail Information Services

 

Reported sales of $372 million up 138% compared with prior year due to the paxar acquisition

·       Organic sales decline of approx 1%

·       Continued weakness of domestic retail apparel market sales on products destined for European market remained solid

 

Operating margin befor transition cost and restructuring charge declined 330 basis points to 1.0% as integration synergies (approx $17 million) and other productivity actions were more than offset by the effects of :

·       Employee-related/ Raw materials cost inflation

·       Reduced Fixed Costs leverage

·       Negative Price/mix

·       Intangible amortization (approx $6 millions) and higher corporate cost allocation (Approx $4 miilion) associated with paxar

 

 

·       Targeting up to $125 million of annual Synergy saving when complete

·       Realized approx $17 million of saving in Q1 up from $11 million in Q4

·       Over 75% targeted saving expected to be captured in run rate by year – end

·       Last piece of permanent financing complete in February

 

 

Office and Consumer Products

 

Reported Sales of $194 millions down 9% compared with prior year

 

·       Organic Sales Declined of approx 12% due in part to customer inventory reductions ($12 million estimated impact to net sales)

 

Excluding restructuring charges, operating margin declined 150 basis points to 11.1% as the benefit of restructuring and other productivity initiatives was more than offset by reduced fixed cost leverage

 

 

 

 

Other Speciality Converting

 

Reported sales of $159 million compared with prior year

 

·       Organic Sales Declined of approx 4% or roughly comparable to prior year when adjusted for exit of low margin distribution business

 

Excluding restructuring charges, operating margin declined 130 basis points to 5.8% as the benefit of restructuring and other productivity initiatives as well as a reduction in the loss from RFID was more than offset by reduced fixed cost leverage and cost inflation.

 

 

Guidance for adjusted (non – GAAP) earnings per share (Side 17 for reconciliation to GAAP): %4.00 to $4.30 (From $4.15 to $4.55 previously)

 

·       Performance within range is highly dependent on organic growth and product mix

·       Midpoint of range assumes no meaningful charge in macro economics environment over the balance of the year

 

Positive factors contributing to their outlook:

 

·       Incremental Cost synergies from paxar integration ($60 to$ 70millions)

·       Restructuring actions already announced ($25 to $30 millions incremental to 2007)

·       Other restructuring and ongoing productivity initiatives

·       Price increases to partially offset raw material inflation

·       Reduced loss from building RFID business ($10 millions)

·       Currency translation benefit of approx 5% to top-line (EPS benefit of ~$0.16)

·       Lower tax rate

 

 

Offsetting factors vs. 2007:

 

Higher interests ($10 to $15 million) and equity-based comp expense (~$10 millions)

Raw materials inflation (~2.5% before cost-outs, or approx. $70 millions)

General inflation and reinvestment of saving for growth

-     Sales up 1% to 3% on an organic basis

Raw materials cost inflation of approximately 2.5% (~$70 million) offset with benefit from global sourcing strategies, materials cost-outs, and price increases
