For the second consecutive year, we recorded a double- digit increase in earnings per share (EPS), driven by strong organic sales growth, continued productivity gains (including the impact of the restructuring program we began in 2012), and accretion from share repurchases. Once again we generated strong free cash flow, which enabled us to repurchase 6.6 million shares of our outstanding common stock and increase our quarterly dividend. In addition, we completed the sale of Office and Consumer Products and Designed and Engineered Solutions in mid-2013, which yielded approximately $390 million in net proceeds. The sale marked a major milestone in the transformation of Avery Dennison. Several years of reshaping our portfolio and reorganizing our businesses have created a focused enterprise with a new baseline for our underlying cost structure, substantially improved operations and greater capital efﬁciency. As a result, we are on track to meet our targets for 2012-2015 sales and earnings growth and free cash ﬂow (available in our investor presentation at www.investors.averydennison.com), and are well positioned to deliver growth and increased economic value over the long term. We have several reasons to be conﬁdent. First and foremost, we have signiﬁcant competitive advantages. Our core businesses, Pressure-sensitive Materials (PSM) and Retail Branding and Information Solutions (RBIS), are industry leaders with 2 Letter to Shareholders high relative market share, economies of scale, strong innovation capabilities and leading positions in emerging markets. Our employees provide us with two more competitive advantages – our deep understanding of markets and customers, and nearly 80 years of technical expertise. They are uniquely equipped to offer powerful insights and collaborate with customers in developing products and solutions that meet their needs. In addition, they are superb manufacturers; we ended the year operating at some of the highest levels of reliability, quality and safety in our history. Our employees helped us advance our leadership in 2013, and I thank them for another great year. Pressure-sensitive Materials The Materials Group in our PSM segment delivered strong sales growth, even in economically challenged regions. We are the leading manufacturer of self-adhesive ﬁlm and paper label materials, and a strong competitor in high-performance tapes and graphics and reﬂective materials. The global market for pressure-sensitive materials is large and growing, with many opportunities to help users of older wet-glue label technology evolve to our newer materials, which offer many design options, more varied and vivid printing, and higher application speeds. We plan to continue to use our strong customer relationships and expertise to accelerate innovation and drive top-line growth. Over the past three years, the Materials Group has launched more than 40 new products to address the needs of companies in end-markets such as food and beverage, home and personal care, and pharmaceuticals. In fact, more than one-third of our sales growth in 2013 came from innovation projects launched since 2011. We also intend to maintain PSM’s excellent proﬁt improvement trajectory. While we achieved operating margin at the high end of PSM’s long-term target range in 2013, we are continuing to drive productivity improvements and reductions in material and manufacturing costs. We are investing for future growth and productivity as well, with plans to add new assets in Asia and consolidate graphics operations in Europe. 3 Avery Dennison Corporation 2013 Annual Report Letter to Shareholders RBIS RBIS delivered another year of solid sales growth and margin expansion in 2013, and is on track to achieve its targets for 2015. RBIS is a unique provider of end-to-end solutions for the apparel industry, with branding solutions such as graphic tags, packaging, labeling and embellishments, and information management solutions, including inventory tracking and routing, price management, loss prevention and brand protection. As the clear industry leader in terms of scale, global presence, and breadth of product offerings, we create value by helping brand owners and retailers more effectively present their brands and simplify the complex processes of their fragmented, dispersed supply chains. We are gaining share in the core business with key global apparel brands and in new and emerging markets. We are also driving the growth of two powerful innovations: exterior embellishment technology, which offers designers a more creative alternative to traditional screen printing, and radio-frequency identiﬁcation (RFID). We are the global leaders in RFID-based inventory and loss prevention solutions for apparel retailers, serving more customers with more systems in place than all other providers combined. Last year we increased RFID sales by 24%, and we expect growth to continue. According to RFID expert Dr. William Hardgrave, founder of the RFID Research Center at Auburn University, 20 of the top 30 U.S. retailers are now testing or already using RFID, and several European retailers are installing new systems as well. Retailers are also starting to use RFID to develop “omni-channel” marketing, which combines online and in-store shopping to improve consumers’ overall experience. These are early steps in the development of the “Internet of Things,” in which billions of RFID-connected objects communicate with one another and operate with minimal human intervention. RBIS has made excellent progress on operating efﬁciency and productivity. We have reduced our manufacturing square footage by nearly 20% since 2011, and 4 Letter to Shareholders at the same time increased service reliability levels to an all-time high while reducing customer complaints to an all-time low. Key investments in RBIS include RFID and heat transfer assets to support the growth and productivity of these innovations. We also have increased our digital printing capacity by 60% over the past two years, which is enabling us to meet customer requirements for faster turnaround times with higher quality, consistency and efﬁciency. We now produce over one third of our graphic tags and labels digitally, and aim to exceed 50% by the end of 2015. Sustainability and Value Creation Avery Dennison has made substantial progress in becoming more sustainable, with greener operations and products, enhanced workplace environments and improved proﬁtability. More important is our recognition that sustainability is a form of value creation that can contribute to our long-term ﬁnancial performance. Not only is becoming more sustainable the right thing to do, it is the smart thing. Manufacturing more efﬁciently uses less material and creates less waste, reducing our environmental impact as well as our costs. Teams of engaged employees are more productive and creative, and make their workplaces more proﬁtable. As competition increases for natural resources – including the wood pulp, petroleum and chemicals from which we manufacture our products – using renewable resources and ﬁnding lower-impact alternatives now can help ensure access to materials in the future. And as consumers take to social media to express their concern about the origin and composition of the products they purchase and the conditions in which they are manufactured, all companies will need to become more transparent about their supply chains. That is why we are taking the lead on responsibly sourcing materials, particularly paper. We are increasing the amount of Forest Stewardship Council-certiﬁed paper we purchase. With our scale and efﬁciencies, we are able to offer FSC- based materials at prices comparable to those of conventional constructions and inﬂuence the entire labeling and packaging industry. We also are working with our customers in the apparel industry to ensure that they recognize our high standards for workplace safety and other conditions around the world. 5 Avery Dennison Corporation 2013 Annual Report Letter to Shareholders Most important of all, sustainability is stimulating a great deal of innovation. New products such as thinner label materials, new adhesive formulations that enable PET plastic recycling, and heat transfer technology for exterior embellishments have less impact on the planet than the products they replace, and can have impact far beyond their direct uses by making recycling easier and more cost-effective. Sustainability is a logical extension of our vision to help customers make brands more inspiring and the world more intelligent. And it is consistent with a basic economic truth: businesses are created to provide solutions for unmet needs. If we innovate to meet a societal need, we will reap the business beneﬁt for shareholders. Viewing our enterprise through the lens of sustainability is pointing us toward new ways to advance our leadership and create long-term value. Transitions This April, Director John Cardis will retire from the Avery Dennison board of directors after 10 years of service. John has provided the board with ﬁnancial expertise and a measured voice of reason on all matters, and I wish him the very best. Sustainable Performance Two years ago, we made speciﬁc commitments to investors on our ﬁnancial strength, cost and capital discipline, and growth. With a second year of solid ﬁnancial performance, we have made excellent progress. Our goal is to continue to deliver on these commitments in 2014. Thank you for your investment in Avery Dennison.

It includes the following sections: Non-GAAP Financial Measures . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Overview and Outlook . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Market-Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management 14 14 16 17 18 23 27 27 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 we use 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 or superior to, the comparable GAAP financial measures. Based upon feedback from our 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. These measures may not be comparable to similarly named non-GAAP measures used by other companies. Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain events, activities or strategic decisions. By excluding certain accounting effects, both positive and negative, of certain items, we believe that we are providing meaningful supplemental information to facilitate an understanding of our core operating results and liquidity measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are used internally to evaluate trends in our underlying performance, 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, they tend to be disparate in amount, frequency, and timing. We use the following non-GAAP financial measures in this MD&A: (cid:129) Organic sales change refers to the increase or decrease in sales excluding the estimated impact of currency translation, product line exits, acquisitions and divestitures, and, where applicable, the extra week in the fiscal year. The estimated impact of currency translation is calculated on a constant currency basis, with prior period results translated at current period average exchange rates to exclude the effect of currency fluctuations. We believe organic sales change assists investors in evaluating the underlying sales growth from the ongoing activities of our businesses and provides improved comparability of results period to period. (cid:129) Free cash flow refers to cash flow from operations, less payments for property, plant and equipment, software and other deferred charges, plus proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment, plus (minus) net proceeds from sales (purchases) of investments, plus discretionary contributions to pension plans and charitable contribution to Avery Dennison Foundation utilizing proceeds from divestitures. Free cash flow excludes uses of cash that do not directly or immediately support the underlying business, such as discretionary debt reductions, dividends, share repurchases, and certain effects of acquisitions and divestitures (e.g., cash from flow discontinued operations, taxes, and transaction costs). (cid:129) Operational working capital refers to trade accounts receivable and inventories, net of accounts payable, and excludes cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, deferred taxes, other current assets and other current liabilities, as well as current assets and current liabilities of held-for-sale businesses. We use this non-GAAP financial measure to assess our working capital (deficit) requirements because it excludes the impact of fluctuations attributable to our financing and other activities (which affect cash and cash equivalents, deferred taxes, other current assets, and other current liabilities) that tend to be disparate in amount, frequency, and timing, and that may increase the volatility of the working capital as a percent of sales from period to period. Additionally, the excluded items are not significantly influenced by our day-to-day activities managed at the operating level and may not reflect the underlying trends in our operations. (cid:129) Net debt to EBITDA ratio refers to total debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by EBITDA, which refers to earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe the net debt to EBITDA ratio is meaningful because investors view it as an indicator of our leverage position. OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK Fiscal Year Normally, each fiscal year consists of 52 weeks, but every fifth or sixth fiscal year consists of 53 weeks. Our 2013, 2012, and 2011 fiscal years consisted of 52-week periods ending December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively. Divestitures On January 29, 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell our Office and Consumer Products (‘‘OCP’’) and Designed and Engineered Solutions (‘‘DES’’) businesses to CCL Industries Inc. (‘‘CCL’’). On July 1, 2013, we completed the sale for a total purchase price of $500 million ($481.2 million, net of cash provided) and entered into an amendment to the purchase agreement, which, among other things, increased the target net working capital amount and amended provisions related to employee matters and indemnification. The sale resulted in a loss, net of tax, of $16 million in 2013. We continue to be subject to indemnification provisions, including for breaches of certain representations, warranties, and covenants under the terms of the purchase agreement. In addition, the tax liability associated with the sale is subject to completion of tax return filings in the jurisdictions in which the OCP and DES businesses operated. Prior 14 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to this divestiture, the OCP business was reported as a reportable segment and the DES business was included in our other specialty converting businesses. Sales Our sales from continuing operations increased 5% on both a reported and organic basis in 2013 compared to 2012 due to higher volume. In 2012, sales remained approximately the same as prior year as the increase in sales on an organic basis was offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation. On an organic basis, sales in 2012 increased 4% due to higher volume. 2013 2012 2011 2011 Actions including charges In 2011, we recorded approximately $44 million in restructuring charges, net of reversals, for discontinued operations, consisting of severance and related costs for the reduction of approximately 910 positions, asset impairment charges, and lease cancellation costs. We realized approximately $55 million in annualized savings from these restructuring actions, with approximately one-fourth of the amount realized in 2011 and the remainder in 2012. Refer to Note 11, ‘‘Cost Reduction Actions,’’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Cost Reduction Actions 2012 Program In 2013, we recorded $40.3 million in restructuring charges, net of reversals, related to the restructuring program we initiated in 2012 (the ‘‘2012 Program’’), which consisted of severance and related costs for the reduction of approximately 1,400 positions, lease and other contract cancellation costs, and asset impairment charges. In 2012, we recorded $56.4 million in restructuring charges, net of reversals, related to our 2012 Program, which consisted of severance and related costs for the reduction of approximately 1,060 positions, lease cancellation costs, and asset impairment charges. We have achieved in excess of $100 million in annualized savings from this program. Approximately $75 million and approximately $20 million in savings related to our 2012 Program were realized in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Incremental savings of more than $20 million related to our 2012 Program are expected to be realized in 2014. 15 Avery Dennison Corporation 2013 Annual Report Proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment Sales (purchases) of investments, net Plus: charitable contribution to Avery Dennison Foundation utilizing proceeds from divestitures Plus: discretionary pension plan contributions utilizing proceeds from divestitures Plus (minus): divestiture-related payments and free cash outflow (inflow) from discontinued operations, net 38.7 .1 10.0 50.1 4.2 (6.7) 4.6 .3 – – – – 92.7 (49.7) (62.3) Free cash flow $ 330.3 $302.9 $ 229.7 Free cash flow in 2013 increased compared to 2012 primarily due to higher operating income and lower pension contributions (excluding discretionary pension plan contributions utilizing proceeds from divestitures), partially offset by buildup in inventory levels to support higher sales, higher payments for taxes, as well as higher incentive compensation paid in 2013 for the 2012 performance year. Free cash flow in 2012 increased compared to 2011 due to increased focus on working capital management, higher net income and lower incentive compensation paid in 2012 for the 2011 performance year, partially offset by the timing of accounts receivable from sales in late fourth quarter 2012. See ‘‘Analysis of Results of Operations’’ and ‘‘Liquidity’’ for more information. Outlook Certain factors that we believe may contribute to results for 2014 compared to results for 2013 are described below. We expect organic sales growth of 3% to 5% in 2014. The extra week in our 2014 fiscal year is anticipated to increase sales and to have a modest positive impact on earnings. We expect earnings to increase in 2014. We estimate cash restructuring costs of approximately $45 million in 2014. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations We expect our annual effective tax rate in 2014 to be comparable to 2013; however, 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 our capital and software expenditures in 2014 to be Marketing, General and Administrative Expense Marketing, general and administrative expense increased in 2013 compared to 2012 due to higher employee-related costs and investments in growth, partially offset by benefits from restructuring. Marketing, general and administrative expense increased in 2012 compared to 2011 due to higher employee-related costs and investments in growth, partially offset by benefits from productivity initiatives, including restructuring savings, and the favorable impact of foreign currency translation. approximately $185 million.

The 2013 effective tax rate for continuing operations reflected $11 million of benefit for adjustments to federal income tax, primarily due to the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (‘‘ATRA’’), and $18.8 million of net expense on changes in certain tax reserves and valuation allowances. Additionally, the effective tax rate for 2013 reflected a benefit of $11.2 million from favorable tax rates on certain earnings from our operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world, offset by $12.1 million of expense related to the accrual of U.S. taxes on certain foreign earnings. The 2012 effective tax rate for continuing operations reflected $6.2 million of benefit from the release of a valuation allowance on certain state tax credits and $11.2 million of expense related to the accrual of U.S. taxes on certain foreign earnings. Additionally, the effective tax rate for 2012 was negatively impacted by approximately $5 million from the statutory expiration of federal research and development tax credits on December 31, 2011. The 2011 effective tax rate for continuing operations reflected $7 million of expense for increases in valuation allowances and $2.8 million of expense from the settlement of foreign tax audits. On January 2, 2013, ATRA was enacted, retrospectively extending the federal research and development credit for amounts paid or incurred after December 31, 2011 and before January 1, 2014. The retroactive effects were recognized in the first quarter of 2013. ATRA also retroactively extended the controlled foreign corporation (‘‘CFC’’) look-through rule that had expired on December 31, 2011. For periods in which the look-though rule is effective, certain dividends, interest, rents, and royalties received or accrued by a CFC of a U.S. multinational enterprise from a related CFC are excluded from U.S. federal income tax. The retroactive effect of the extension of the CFC look-through rule did not have a material impact on our effective tax rate or operating results after taking into consideration tax accruals related to our repatriation assertions. restructuring in all years, gain on sale of product line in 2012, and legal settlement in 2011. $ 10.8 $ 33.5 $ 20.1 Net Sales In 2013, sales in our Pressure-sensitive Materials segment increased approximately 5% on both a reported and organic basis compared to the prior year due to higher volume.

In 2012, we received an additional $.8 million from the product line sale in our label and packaging materials business. Proceeds from Sale of Property, Plant and Equipment In March 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell the property and equipment of our corporate headquarters in Pasadena, California for approximately $20 million. In April 2013, we completed the sale and recognized a pre-tax gain of $10.9 million in ‘‘Other expense, net’’ in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment also included approximately $11 million from the sale of property, plant and equipment in China, as well as proceeds of $5 million from the sale of a research facility also located in Pasadena, California. Proceeds from Sale of Businesses, Net of Cash Provided We received $481.2 million, net of cash provided from the sale of our OCP and DES businesses, which, when offset by approximately $93 million of estimated net cash used in the OCP and DES businesses and divestiture-related payments, results in our estimate of net proceeds of approximately $390 million. 19 Avery Dennison Corporation 2013 Annual Report Net change in borrowings and payments of debt Dividends paid Share repurchases Proceeds from exercise of stock options, net Other $(187.2) $ 40.5 (110.4) (235.2) (112.0) (283.5) $(147.9) (106.5) (13.5) 44.8 (8.3) 10.2 (2.7) 3.9 (7.5) Net cash used in financing activities $(546.2) $(297.6) $(271.5) Borrowings and Repayment of Debt issuances at year-end 2013, compared We had no outstanding short-term variable rate borrowings from commercial paper to $187 million (weighted-average interest rate of .4%) at year-end 2012. During 2013, commercial paper borrowings were used to fund share repurchase activity given the seasonality of our business. During 2013, a portion of our outstanding borrowings was repaid using the net proceeds from the $250 million issuance of senior notes discussed below, as well as the net proceeds from divestitures. Short-term borrowings outstanding under uncommitted lines of credit were $73.9 million (weighted-average interest rate of 11.2%) at year-end 2013, compared to $81.1 million (weighted-average interest rate of 11.2%) at year-end 2012. We had medium-term notes of $50 million outstanding at both year-end 2013 and 2012. In April 2013, we issued $250 million of senior notes due April 2023. The notes bear an interest rate of 3.35% per year, payable semiannually in arrears. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were approximately $247.5 million and were used to repay a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under our commercial paper program during the second quarter of 2013. In December 2011, we amended and restated our revolving credit facility (the ‘‘Revolver’’) with certain domestic and foreign banks, which reduced the amount available thereunder from $1 billion to $675 million. The amendment also extended the Revolver’s maturity date to December 22, 2016, modified the minimum interest coverage financial covenant level, and adjusted pricing to reflect market conditions. The maturity date may be extended for one-year periods under certain circumstances as set forth in the agreement. Commitments under the Revolver may be increased by up to $250 million, subject to lender approval and customary requirements. Financing available under the Revolver is used as a back-up facility for our commercial paper issuances and can be used to finance other corporate requirements. In conjunction with the amendment, we recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $.7 million (included in ‘‘Other expense, net’’ in the Consolidated Statements of Income) in the fourth quarter of 2011 related to the unamortized debt issuance costs for the previous Revolver. No balances were outstanding under the Revolver as of year-end 2013 or 2012. Commitment fees associated with this facility in 2013, 2012, and 2011, were $1.4 million, $1.4 million, and $2.5 million, respectively. Refer to Note 4, ‘‘Debt and Capital Leases,’’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. Refer to ‘‘Capital Resources’’ below for further information on 2013 and 2012 borrowings and repayment of debt. Dividend Payments Our annual dividend per share was $1.14 in 2013 compared to $1.08 in 2012. On April 25, 2013, we increased our quarterly dividend to $.29 per share, representing a 7% increase from our previous dividend rate of $.27 per share. Share Repurchases From time to time, our Board of Directors authorizes us to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock. Repurchased shares may be reissued under our stock option and incentive plan or used In 2013, we repurchased approximately 6.6 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $283.5 million. for other corporate purposes. On July 25, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of additional shares of our common stock in the total aggregate amount of up to $400 million (exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses related to such purchases). This authorization will remain in effect until shares totaling $400 million have been repurchased. On July 26, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of additional shares of our common stock in the total aggregate amount of up to $400 million (exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses related to such purchases). This authorization will remain in effect until shares totaling $400 million have been repurchased. As of December 28, 2013, shares of our common stock in the aggregate amount of approximately $455 million remained authorized for repurchase under these Board authorizations. Analysis of Selected Balance Sheet Accounts Long-lived Assets Goodwill decreased by approximately $13 million to $751 million at year-end 2013, which primarily reflected the impact of foreign currency translation. Other from business acquisitions, net, decreased by approximately $29 million to $96 million at year-end 2013, which primarily reflected current year amortization expense. intangibles resulting Refer to Note 3, ‘‘Goodwill and Other Intangibles Resulting from Business Acquisitions,’’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. Other assets increased by approximately $29 million to $486 million at year-end 2013, which primarily reflected an increase in software and other deferred charges, net of amortization expense ($17 million), an increase in the cash surrender value of our corporate-owned life insurance ($13 million), and the capitalization of financing costs related to the issuance of the senior notes discussed above ($2 million), partially offset by a decrease in long-term pension assets ($3 million). Shareholders’ Equity Accounts The balance of our shareholders’ equity decreased by approximately $89 million to $1.49 billion at year-end 2013, which reflected the effect of share repurchases, dividend payments, and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation. These decreases were partially offset by net income and a decrease in ‘‘Accumulated other comprehensive loss’’ as a result of higher discount rates at year-end 2013. The balance of our treasury stock increased by approximately $194 million to $1.17 billion at year-end 2013, which reflected share repurchase activity ($284 million), partially offset by the use of treasury Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations shares to settle exercises of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units and performance units ($71 million) and the funding of contributions to our U.S. defined contribution plan ($19 million). loss comprehensive Accumulated other increased by approximately $3 million to $281 million at year-end 2013 primarily due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation ($43 million), partially offset by lower net actuarial losses in our pension and other postretirement plans as a result of higher discount rates and current year amortization of net actuarial losses, net pension transition obligations and prior service cost ($39 million) and a net gain on derivative instruments designated as cash flow and firm commitment hedges ($1 million). Refer to Note 6, ‘‘Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits,’’ for more information. the Consolidated Financial Statements to Impact of Foreign Currency Translation (In millions) Change in net sales Change in net income from continuing operations 2013 2012 2011 $8 $(201) $145 4 (11) 9 In 2013, international operations generated approximately 75% of our net sales. Our future results are subject to changes in political and economic conditions in the regions in which we operate and the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange and interest rates. The effect of foreign currency translation on net sales in 2013 compared to 2012 primarily reflected the favorable impact from sales in the European Union and China, partially offset by the unfavorable impact from sales in Brazil and India. Translation gains and losses for operations in hyperinflationary economies, if any, are included in net income in the period incurred. Operations are treated as being in a hyperinflationary economy based on the cumulative inflation rate over the past three years. We had no operations in hyperinflationary economies in fiscal years 2013, 2012, or 2011. Effect of Foreign Currency Transactions The impact on net income from transactions denominated in foreign currencies may be mitigated because the costs of our products are generally denominated in the currencies in which they are sold. In addition, to reduce our income and cash flow exposure to transactions in foreign currencies, we enter into foreign exchange forward, option and swap contracts where available and appropriate. Analysis of Selected Financial Ratios We utilize the financial ratios discussed below to assess our financial condition and operating performance. Working Capital and Operational Working Capital Ratios Working capital (current assets minus current liabilities and net assets held for sale), as a percent of net sales, increased in 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to a decrease in short-term and current portion of long-term debt, as well as an increase in cash and cash equivalents. Operational working capital, as a percent of net sales, is reconciled with working capital below. Our objective is to minimize our investment 20 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in operational working capital, as a percentage of sales, to maximize cash flow and return on investment. Net Debt to EBITDA Ratio (Dollars in millions) (Dollars in millions) (A) Working capital Reconciling items: Cash and cash equivalents Current deferred and refundable income taxes and other current assets Short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt and capital leases Current deferred and payable income taxes 2013 2012 $ 536.4 $ 25.5 (351.6) (235.4) Income from continuing operations Reconciling items: Interest Expense Provision for income taxes Depreciation Amortization (228.3) (258.0) EBITDA 2013 2012 2011 $ 244.3 $ 157.6 $ 141.7 59.0 118.8 135.2 69.1 72.9 80.0 145.4 65.6 71.1 71.5 151.3 68.7 $ 626.4 $ 521.5 $ 504.3 76.9 520.2 Total debt Less cash and cash equivalents $1,027.5 (351.6) $1,222.4 (235.4) $1,181.3 (178.0) and other current accrued liabilities 587.7 589.5 Net debt $ 675.9 $ 987.0 $1,003.3 (B) Operational working capital $ 621.1 $ 641.8 Net debt to EBITDA ratio 1.1 1.9 2.0 (C) Net sales $6,140.0 Working capital, as a percent of net sales (A) (cid:3) (C) Operational working capital, as a percent of net sales (B) (cid:3) (C) 8.7% 10.1% $6,035.6 (1) The net debt to EBITDA ratio was lower in 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to lower total debt and an increase in cash and cash .4% equivalents as a result of the net proceeds received from the sale of the OCP and DES businesses, as well as from higher earnings from continuing operations. 10.6% (1) Net sales for 2012 were not restated to reflect the classification of the DES business as discontinued operations. As a percent of net sales, operational working capital in 2013 improved modestly compared to 2012. The primary factors contributing to this change, which includes the impact of foreign currency translation, are discussed below. Accounts Receivable Ratio The average number of days sales outstanding was 60 days in 2013 compared to 59 days in 2012, calculated using the four-quarter average accounts receivable balance divided by the average daily sales for the year. The increase in the current year average number of days sales outstanding reflected the timing of collection and extended payment terms, partially offset by the effect of discontinued operations, which decreased the average number of days sales outstanding by approximately one day. Inventory Ratio Average inventory turnover was 8.8 in 2013 compared to 8.7 in 2012, calculated using the annual cost of sales divided by the four-quarter average inventory balance. The increase in the average inventory turnover from prior year primarily reflected our continued focus on inventory management. Accounts Payable Ratio The average number of days payable outstanding was 68 days in 2013 compared to 64 days in 2012, calculated using the four-quarter average accounts payable balance divided by the average daily cost of products sold for the year. The increase in the current year average number of days payable outstanding was primarily due to the impact of extension in payment terms with suppliers, the timing of inventory purchases, and the effect of discontinued operations, which increased the average number of days payable outstanding by approximately one day. The net debt to EBITDA ratio in 2012 was lower compared to 2011 primarily due to an increase in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by an increase in commercial paper borrowings. The lower net debt to EBITDA ratio in 2012 compared to 2011 was also due to higher earnings from continuing operations. Financial Covenants Our various loan agreements require that we maintain specified financial covenant ratios of total debt and interest expense in relation to certain measures of income. As of December 28, 2013, we were in compliance with our financial covenants. Fair Value of Debt The estimated fair value of our long-term debt is primarily based on the credit spread above U.S. Treasury securities on notes with similar rates, credit rating, and remaining maturities. The fair value of short-term borrowings, which include commercial paper and short-term lines of credit, approximates carrying value given the short duration of these obligations. The fair value of our total debt was $1.06 billion at December 28, 2013 and $1.31 billion at December 29, 2012. Fair value amounts were determined primarily based on Level 2 inputs. Refer to Note 1, the ‘‘Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,’’ Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. to Capital Resources Capital resources include cash flows from operations, cash and cash equivalents and debt financing. At year-end 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $352 million held in accounts at third-party financial institutions. Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world. At December 28, 2013, the majority of our cash and cash equivalents were held by our foreign subsidiaries. Our policy is to indefinitely reinvest the majority of the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. To meet U.S. cash requirements, we have several cost-effective include borrowing funds at reasonable rates, including borrowings from foreign subsidiaries, and repatriating certain foreign earnings. However, if we liquidity options available. These options 21 Avery Dennison Corporation 2013 Annual Report Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations were to repatriate foreign earnings, we may be subject to additional taxes in the U.S. Our $675 million Revolver, which supports our commercial paper program, matures on December 22, 2016. Based upon our current outlook for our business and market conditions, we believe that the Revolver, in addition to the uncommitted bank lines of credit maintained in the countries in which we operate, would, if necessary, provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations during the next twelve months. As of December 28, 2013, no balances were outstanding under the Revolver. Refer to Note 4, ‘‘Debt and Capital Leases,’’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. We are exposed to financial market risk resulting from changes in interest and foreign currency rates, and to possible liquidity and credit risks of our counterparties. Capital from Debt Our total debt decreased by approximately $195 million in 2013 to $1.03 billion at year-end 2013 compared to $1.22 billion at year-end 2012, primarily reflecting the repayment of our outstanding commercial paper borrowings in the second half of 2013 using the net proceeds from the sale of the OCP and DES businesses. We use commercial paper borrowings due to the seasonality of our cash flow during the year. Refer to ‘‘Borrowings and Repayment of Debt’’ above for more information. In April 2013, we issued $250 million of senior notes due April 2023. The notes bear an interest rate of 3.35% per year, payable semiannually in arrears. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were approximately $247.5 million and were used to repay a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under our commercial paper program during the second quarter of 2013. In January 2013, we repaid $250 million of senior notes due in 2013 using commercial paper borrowings. Uncommitted lines of credit were approximately $371 million at year-end 2013 and $411 million at year-end 2012. These lines may be cancelled at any time by us or the issuing banks. Credit ratings are a significant factor in our ability to raise short-term and long-term financing. The credit ratings assigned to us also impact the interest rates paid and our access to commercial paper, credit facilities, and other borrowings. A downgrade of our short-term credit ratings below our current levels could impact our ability to access the commercial paper markets. If our access to commercial paper markets were to become limited, the Revolver and our other credit facilities would be available to meet our short-term funding requirements, if necessary. When determining a credit rating, we believe that rating agencies primarily consider our competitive position, business outlook, consistency of cash flows, debt level and liquidity, geographic dispersion and management team. We remain committed to retaining an investment grade rating.

The table above includes minimum annual rental commitments on operating leases having initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms of one year or more. The terms of our leases do not impose significant restrictions or unusual obligations, except for the commercial facility located in Mentor, Ohio described below. The table above does not include: (cid:129) Purchase obligations or open purchase orders at year-end – It is impracticable for us to either obtain this information or provide a reasonable estimate thereof due to the decentralized nature of our purchasing systems. In addition, purchase orders are generally at fair value and cancelable without penalty. (cid:129) Cash funding requirements for pension benefits payable to certain eligible current and future retirees under our funded plans – Benefits paid by our funded pension plans are paid through a trust or trust equivalent. Cash funding requirements for our funded plans, which can be significantly impacted by earnings on investments, the discount rate, changes in the to plans, and funding laws and regulations, are not included as we are not able to estimate required contributions to the trust or trust equivalent. Refer to Note 6, ‘‘Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits,’’ the Consolidated Financial Statements for expected contributions to our plans. (cid:129) Deferred compensation plan benefit payments – is impracticable for us to obtain a reasonable estimate for 2015 and beyond due to the volatility of the payment amounts and certain events that could trigger immediate payment of benefits to participants. In addition, the account balances per participant are marked-to-market monthly and benefit payments are adjusted annually. Refer to Note 6, ‘‘Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits,’’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Refer to Note 12, ‘‘Taxes Based on Income,’’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on unrecognized tax benefits. for (cid:129) Obligations associated with a commercial facility located in the North American Mentor, Ohio, used primarily headquarters and research center of our Materials group. The facility consists generally of land, buildings, and equipment. We lease the facility under an operating lease arrangement, which contains a residual value guarantee of $31.5 million, as well as certain obligations with respect to the refinancing of the lessor’s debt of $11.5 million (collectively, the ‘‘Guarantee’’). At the end of the lease term, we have the option to purchase or remarket the facility at an amount equivalent to the value of the Guarantee. If our estimated fair value (or estimated selling price) of the facility falls below the Guarantee, we would be required to pay the lessor a shortfall, which is an amount equivalent to the Guarantee less our estimated fair value. Refer to Note 7, ‘‘Commitments,’’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. Legal Proceedings We are involved in various lawsuits, claims, inquiries, and other regulatory and compliance matters, most of which are routine to the nature of our business. We have accrued liabilities for matters where it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Because of the uncertainties associated with claims resolution and litigation, future expenses to resolve these matters could be higher than the liabilities we have accrued; however, we are unable to reasonably estimate a range of potential expenses. If information becomes available that allows us to reasonably estimate the range of potential expenses in an amount higher or lower than what we have accrued, we adjust our accrued liabilities accordingly. Additional lawsuits, claims, inquiries, and other regulatory and compliance matters could arise in the future. The range of expenses for resolving any future matters will be assessed as they arise; until then, a range of potential expenses for such resolution cannot be determined. Based upon current information, we believe that the impact of the resolution of these matters would not be, individually or in the aggregate, material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Environmental As of December 28, 2013, we have been designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’) and/or other responsible state agencies as a potentially responsible party (‘‘PRP’’) at ten 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 our liability has been agreed. We are participating with other PRPs at these sites, and anticipate that our share of remediation costs will be determined pursuant to agreements entered into in the normal course of negotiations with the EPA or other governmental authorities. We have 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. These estimates could change as a result of changes in 23 Avery Dennison Corporation 2013 Annual Report planned remedial actions, remediation technologies, site conditions, and the estimated time to complete remediation, environmental laws and regulations, and other factors. Because of the uncertainties associated with environmental assessment and remediation activities, future expenses to remediate these sites could be higher than the liabilities we have accrued; however, we are unable to reasonably estimate a range of potential expenses. If information becomes available that allows us to reasonably estimate the range of potential expenses in an amount higher or lower than what we have accrued, we adjust our environmental liabilities accordingly. In addition, we may be identified as a PRP at additional sites in the future. The range of expenses for remediation of any future-identified sites will be assessed as they arise; until then, a range of expenses for such remediation cannot be determined. The activity in 2013 and 2012 related to environmental liabilities was as follows: (In millions) Balance at beginning of year Charges (reversals), net Payments Balance at end of year 2013 2012 $32.5 4.6 (7.5) $40.6 (3.1) (5.0) $29.6 $32.5 At year-end 2013, approximately $10 million of the balance was classified as short-term and was included in ‘‘Other accrued liabilities’’ in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Guarantees We participate in receivable financing programs with several financial institutions whereby advances may be requested from these financial institutions. We guarantee the collection of the related receivables. At year-end 2013, the outstanding amount guaranteed was approximately $6 million. Unused letters of credit (primarily standby) outstanding with various financial institutions were approximately $89 million at year-end 2013. Refer to Note 1, ‘‘Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,’’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding asset retirement obligations and product warranties. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions for the reporting period and as of the financial statement date. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expense. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Critical accounting policies are those that are important to our financial condition and results, and which require us to make difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments. Critical accounting policies cover accounting matters that are inherently uncertain because their future resolution is unknown. We believe that critical accounting policies for revenue recognition, sales returns and include accounting allowances, accounts receivable allowances, inventories, impairment of long-lived assets, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, fair value measurements, pension and postretirement benefits, taxes based on income, long-term incentive compensation, restructuring costs, litigation matters, and environmental expenditures. Revenue Recognition Sales are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, pricing is determinable, delivery has occurred based on applicable sales terms, and collection is reasonably assured. Sale terms are generally free on board (f.o.b.) shipping point or f.o.b. destination, depending upon local business customs. For most regions in which we operate, f.o.b. shipping point terms are utilized and sales are recorded at the time of shipment, because this is when title and risk of loss are transferred. In certain regions, notably in Europe, f.o.b. destination terms are generally utilized and sales are recorded when the products are delivered to the customer’s delivery site, because this is when title and risk of loss are transferred. Furthermore, sales, provisions for estimated returns, and the cost of products sold are recorded at the time title transfers to customers and when the customers assume the risks and rewards of ownership. Actual product returns are charged against estimated sales return allowances. Sales rebates and discounts are common practice in the industries in which we operate. Volume, promotional, price, cash and other discounts and customer incentives are accounted for as a reduction to gross sales. Rebates and discounts are recorded based upon estimates at the time products are sold. These estimates are based upon our historical experience for similar programs and products. We review these rebates and discounts on an ongoing basis and accruals for rebates and discounts are adjusted, if necessary, as additional information becomes available. Sales Returns and Allowances Sales returns and allowances represent credits we grant to our the return of customers (both affiliated and non-affiliated) unsatisfactory product or a negotiated allowance in lieu of return. We accrue for returns and allowances based upon the gross price of the products sold and historical experience for such products. We record these allowances based on estimates related to: (i) customer-specific allowances; and (ii) an amount, based on our historical experience, for allowances not yet identified. for Accounts Receivable Allowances We are required to make judgments as to the collectability of accounts receivable based on established aging policy, historical experience and future expectations. The allowances for doubtful accounts represent allowances for customer trade accounts receivable that are estimated to be partially or entirely uncollectible. The customer complaint reserve represents estimated sales returns and allowances. These allowances are used to reduce gross trade receivables to their net realizable values. We record these allowances based on estimates related to: (i) customer-specific allowances; (ii) amounts based upon an aging schedule; and (iii) an amount, based on our historical experience, for allowances not yet identified. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost-or-market value and are categorized as raw materials, work-in-progress or finished goods. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (‘‘FIFO’’) method. Inventory reserves are recorded to cost of products sold for damaged, obsolete, excess and slow-moving inventory and we establish a lower cost basis Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the inventory. We use estimates to record these reserves. Slow-moving inventory is reviewed by category and may be partially or fully reserved for depending on the type of product, level of usage, and the length of time the product has been included in inventory. Impairment of Long-lived Assets Impairment charges are recorded when the carrying amounts of long-lived assets are determined not to be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from their use and eventual disposition to the carrying value of the related asset or asset group. The amount of impairment loss is calculated as the excess of the carrying value over the fair value. Historically, changes in market conditions and management strategy have caused us to reassess the carrying amount of our long-lived assets. Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets Our reporting units are composed of either a discrete business or an aggregation of businesses with similar economic characteristics. We have the following reporting units: materials; retail branding and information solutions; reflective solutions; performance tapes; and medical solutions. In performing the required impairment tests, we primarily apply a present value (discounted cash flow) method to determine the fair value of the reporting units with goodwill. We perform our annual impairment test of goodwill during the fourth quarter. Certain factors may result in the need to perform an impairment test prior to the fourth quarter, including significant underperformance of a business relative to expected operating results, significant adverse economic and industry trends, significant decline in our market capitalization for an extended period of time relative to net book value, or a decision to divest an individual business within a reporting unit. We determine goodwill impairment using a two-step process. The first step is to identify if a potential impairment exists by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to have a potential impairment and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. However, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step is performed to determine if goodwill is impaired and to measure the amount of impairment loss to recognize, if any. The second step, if necessary, compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying amount, then goodwill is not considered impaired. However, if the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. In consultation with outside specialists, we estimate the fair value of our reporting units using various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis requires us to make various assumptions about the reporting units, including sales, operating margins, growth rates, and discount rates. Assumptions about discount rates are based on a weighted-average cost of capital for comparable companies. Assumptions about sales, operating margins, and growth rates are based on our forecasts, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. Assumptions are also made for varying perpetual growth rates for periods beyond the long-term business plan period. We base our fair value estimates on 24 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations projected financial information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. However, actual future results may differ from those estimates and projections, and those differences may be material. The valuation methodology used to estimate the fair value of reporting units requires inputs and assumptions that reflect current market conditions, as well as the impact of planned business and operational strategies that require management judgment. The estimated fair value could increase or decrease depending on changes in the inputs and assumptions. Our annual first step impairment analysis in the fourth quarter of 2013 indicated that the fair values of our reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values, including goodwill. The fair value of the reporting units tested exceeded their carrying values by 67% to 173%. in the We test indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of trademarks, for fourth quarter or whenever events or impairment circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that their carrying values exceed their fair values. Fair value is estimated as the discounted value of future revenues using a royalty rate that a third party would pay for use of the asset. Variation in the royalty rates could impact the estimate of fair value. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. In the fourth quarter of 2012, we recorded an indefinite- lived intangible asset impairment of $7 million. The carrying value of this asset was $10.9 million at December 28, 2013. The fair value of this asset exceeded its carrying value by 4%. Fair Value Measurements We define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities which are required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. We determine fair value based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which we use to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers consist of Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions to determine the best estimate of fair value. Pension and Postretirement Benefits Assumptions used in determining projected benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets for our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans are evaluated by management in consultation with outside actuaries. In the event that we determine that changes are warranted in the assumptions used, such as the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return, or health care costs, future pension and postretirement benefit expenses could increase or decrease. Due to changes in market conditions or participant population, the actuarial assumptions that we use may differ from actual results, which could have a significant impact on our pension and postretirement liability and related cost. 25 Avery Dennison Corporation 2013 Annual Report Discount Rate In consultation with our actuaries, we annually review and determine the discount rates to be used in connection with our postretirement obligations. The assumed discount rate for each pension plan reflects market rates for high quality corporate bonds currently available. In the U.S., our discount rate is determined by evaluating yield curves consisting of large populations of high quality corporate bonds. The projected pension benefit payment streams are then matched with the bond portfolios to determine a rate that reflects the liability duration unique to our plans. A .25% increase in the discount rate in the U.S. as of December 28, 2013 would decrease our 2014 periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligation by approximately $.1 million and $28 million, respectively, and a .25% decrease in the discount rate in the U.S. would increase our 2014 periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligation by approximately $.1 million and $29 million, respectively. Long-term Return on Assets We determine the long-term rate of return assumption for plan assets by reviewing the historical and expected returns of both the equity and fixed income markets, taking into account our asset allocation, the correlation between our asset classes, and the mix of active and passive investments. Additionally, current market conditions, including interest rates, are evaluated and market data is reviewed for reasonability and appropriateness. An increase or decrease on the long-term return on assets in the U.S. of .25% would have decreased or increased our 2014 periodic benefit cost by approximately $2 million. Healthcare Cost Trend Rate Our practice is to fund the cost of postretirement benefits from operating cash flows. For measurement purposes, a 7% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2014. This rate is expected to decrease to approximately 5% by 2018. Taxes Based on Income Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. These amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Changes in tax laws or accounting standards and methods may affect recorded deferred taxes in future periods. Income taxes have not been provided on certain undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries because the earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. When establishing a valuation allowance, we consider future sources of taxable income such as ‘‘future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards’’ and ‘‘tax planning strategies.’’ A tax planning strategy is defined as ‘‘an action that: is prudent and feasible; an enterprise ordinarily might not take, but would take to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused; and would result in realization of deferred tax assets.’’ In the event we determine a deferred tax asset will not be realized in the future, the valuation adjustment to the deferred tax asset will be charged to earnings in the period in which we make such a determination. We also acquired certain net deferred tax assets with existing valuation allowances in prior years. If it is later determined that it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be realized, we will release the valuation allowance to current earnings or adjust the purchase price allocation. We calculate our current and deferred tax provision based on estimates and assumptions that could differ from the actual results reflected in income tax returns filed in subsequent years. Adjustments based on filed returns are recorded when identified. Investment tax credits are accounted for in the period earned in accordance with the flow-through method. The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. Our 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. We use a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We record a liability for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured and tax position taken or expected to be taken on our tax returns. To the extent that our assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. We report tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. Our estimates and assumptions used for determining realization of deferred tax assets and the outcome of uncertain tax issues are subject to our assessment of relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing as of the balance sheet date. Our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments that may materially impact our effective tax rate and/or our financial results. Long-Term Incentive Compensation We have not capitalized expense associated with our long-term incentive compensation. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Expected stock price volatility represents an average of implied and historical volatility. Expected dividend yield is based on the current annual dividend divided by the 12-month average of our monthly stock price prior to the date of grant. Expected option term is determined based on historical experience under our stock option and incentive plans. The fair value of RSUs and certain PUs that are subject to achievement of performance objectives based on a performance condition is determined based on the closing price of our common stock as of the date of grant, adjusted for foregone dividends. The fair value of stock-based awards that are subject to achievement of performance objectives based on a market condition, which includes PUs and MSUs, is determined using the Monte-Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple input variables, including expected volatility assumptions and other assumptions appropriate for determining fair value, to estimate the probability of satisfying the target performance objectives established for the award. Certain of these assumptions are based on management’s estimates, in consultation with outside specialists. Significant changes in assumptions for future awards and actual forfeiture rates could materially impact stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations. Valuation of Cash-Based Awards Cash-based awards consist of long-term incentive units (‘‘LTI Units’’) granted to eligible employees. Cash-based awards are classified as liability awards and are remeasured at each quarter-end over the applicable vesting or performance period. In addition to LTI units that mirror the terms and conditions of RSUs, we also grant certain employees LTI units that mirror the terms and conditions of PUs and MSUs. Changes in forfeiture rates are recorded as a cumulative Accounting for Income Taxes for Stock-Based Compensation adjustment in the period estimates are revised. Valuation of Stock-Based Awards Our stock-based compensation expense is based on the fair value of awards, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for stock options, restricted stock units (‘‘RSUs’’), and performance units (‘‘PUs’’). The compensation expense related to market-leveraged stock units (‘‘MSUs’’) is based on the fair value of awards, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, and is amortized on a graded-vesting basis over their respective performance periods. Compensation expense for awards with a market condition as a performance objective, which includes PUs and MSUs, is not adjusted if the condition is not met, as long as the requisite service period is met. The fair value of stock options is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires input assumptions for our expected dividend yield, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and the expected option term. The following assumptions are used in estimating the fair value of granted stock options: Risk-free interest rate is based on the 52-week average of the Treasury-Bond rate that has a term corresponding to the expected option term. We elected to use the short-cut method to calculate the historical pool of windfall tax benefits related to employee and non-employee director stock-based compensation awards. In addition, we elected to follow the tax law ordering approach to determine the sequence in which deductions and net operating loss carryforwards are utilized, as well as the direct-only approach to calculate the amount of windfall or shortfall tax benefits. Restructuring Costs We have compensation plans that provide eligible employees with severance in the event of an involuntary termination due to qualifying cost reduction actions. We calculate severance using the benefit formula under the plans. Accordingly, we record provisions for severance and other exit costs (including asset impairment charges and lease and other contract cancellation costs) when they are probable and estimable. In the absence of a plan or established local practice for overseas jurisdictions, liabilities for restructuring costs are recognized when incurred. Litigation Matters We are involved in various lawsuits, claims, inquiries and other regulatory and compliance matters, most of which are routine to the nature of our business. When it is probable that a loss will be incurred and where a range of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the best 26 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations estimate within the range is accrued. When the best estimate within the range cannot be determined, the low end of the range is accrued. The ultimate resolution of these claims could affect future results of operations should our exposure be materially different from our estimates or should liabilities be incurred that were not previously accrued. Potential insurance reimbursements are not offset against potential liabilities, and such liabilities are not discounted. Environmental Expenditures Environmental expenditures are generally expensed. However, environmental expenditures for newly acquired assets and those which extend or improve the economic useful life of existing assets are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the acquired asset or the remaining life of the existing asset. We review our estimates of costs of compliance with environmental laws related to remediation and cleanup of various sites, including sites in which governmental agencies have designated us as a potentially responsible party. When it is probable that a loss will be incurred and where a range of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the best estimate within the range is accrued. When the best estimate within the range cannot be determined, the low end of the range is accrued. Potential insurance reimbursements are not offset against potential liabilities, and such liabilities are not discounted. RECENT ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS Refer to Note 1, ‘‘Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,’’ to the Consolidated Financial Statements for this information. MARKET-SENSITIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT Risk Management We are exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Our policy is not to purchase or hold foreign currency or interest rate or commodity contracts for trading purposes. Our objective in managing our exposure to foreign currency changes is to reduce the risk to our earnings and cash flow associated with foreign exchange rate changes. As a result, we enter into foreign exchange forward, option and swap contracts to reduce risks associated with the value of our existing foreign currency assets, liabilities, firm commitments and anticipated foreign revenues and costs, when available and appropriate. The gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset changes in the related exposures. We do not hedge our foreign currency exposure in a manner that would entirely eliminate the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates on our net income. Our objective in managing our exposure to interest rate changes is to reduce the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. To achieve our objectives, we may periodically use interest rate contracts to manage our exposure to interest rate changes. Additionally, we enter into certain natural gas futures contracts to reduce the risks associated with domestic natural gas anticipated to be used in manufacturing and operations. These amounts are not material to our financial statements. In the normal course of operations, we also face other risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. These risks principally include changes in economic or political conditions, other risks associated with foreign operations, commodity price risk and litigation risk, which are not reflected in the analyses that follow. Foreign Exchange Value-At-Risk We use a Value-At-Risk (‘‘VAR’’) model to determine the estimated maximum potential one-day loss in earnings associated with our foreign exchange positions and contracts. This approach assumes that market rates or prices for foreign exchange positions and contracts are normally distributed. VAR model estimates were made assuming normal market conditions. Firm commitments, accounts receivable and accounts payable denominated in foreign currencies, which certain of these instruments are intended to hedge, were included in the model. Forecasted transactions, which certain of these instruments are intended to hedge, were excluded from the model. In both 2013 and 2012, the VAR was estimated using a variance- covariance methodology. The currency correlation was based on one-year historical data obtained from one of our domestic banks. A 95% confidence level was used for a one-day time horizon. The estimated maximum potential one-day loss in earnings for our foreign exchange positions and contracts was $1.2 million at year-end 2013 and $.6 million at year-end 2012. The VAR model is a risk analysis tool and does not purport to represent actual losses in fair value that we could incur, nor does it consider the potential effect of favorable changes in market factors. Interest Rate Sensitivity An assumed 30 basis point move in interest rates affecting our variable-rate borrowings (10% of our weighted-average interest rate on floating rate debt) would have had an estimated $1.1 million effect on our 2013 earnings. An assumed 30 basis point move in interest rates affecting our variable-rate borrowings (10% of our weighted-average interest rate on floating rate debt) would have had an estimated $1.3 million effect on our 2012 earnings. 27 Avery Dennison Corporation 2013 Annual Report Consolidated Balance Sheets (Dollars in millions) Assets Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents Trade accounts

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Fiscal Year Nature of Operations We develop innovative identification and decorative solutions for businesses and consumers worldwide. Our products include pressure- sensitive labeling technology and materials; graphics imaging media; retail branding and information solutions; radio-frequency identification (‘‘RFID’’) inlays and tags; specialty tapes; and medical solutions. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of majority-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts, transactions and profits are eliminated in consolidation. Investments representing less than 20% ownership and in which we do not have significant influence are accounted for using the cost method of accounting. Financial Presentation As further discussed in Note 2, ‘‘Discontinued Operations, Exit/Sale of Product Lines, Sale of Assets and Assets Held for Sale,’’ we have classified the operating results of our Office and Consumer Products (‘‘OCP’’) and Designed and Engineered Solutions (‘‘DES’’) businesses, together with certain costs associated with their divestiture, as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. The results and financial condition of discontinued operations have been excluded from the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements, except for certain prior-year balances related to the DES business and as otherwise indicated. Prior to this divestiture, the OCP business was reported as a reportable segment and the DES business was included in our other specialty converting businesses. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Segment Reporting We have the following two reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: (cid:129) Pressure-sensitive Materials – manufactures and sells pressure-sensitive labeling technology and materials, films for graphic and reflective applications, performance polymers (largely adhesives used to manufacture pressure-sensitive materials), and specialty tapes; and (cid:129) Retail Branding and Information Solutions – designs, manufactures and sells a wide variety of branding and information products and services, including brand and price tickets, tags and labels (including RFID inlays), and related services, supplies and equipment. Certain operating segments are aggregated or combined based on materiality, quantitative factors, and similar qualitative economic characteristics, including primary products, production processes, customers, and distribution methods. Operating segments that do not exceed for aggregation are reported in a category entitled ‘‘other specialty converting businesses,’’ which is comprised of a business that produces medical solutions. thresholds or are not considered the quantitative Refer to Note 13, ‘‘Segment Information,’’ for further information. 33 Avery Dennison Corporation 2013 Annual Report Our 2013, 2012, and 2011 fiscal years consisted of 52-week periods ending December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions for the reporting period and as of the financial statement date. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expense. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, deposits in banks, and short-term investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased. The carrying value of these assets approximates fair value due to the short maturity of the instruments. Cash paid for interest and income taxes, including amounts paid for discontinued operations, were as follows: (In millions) Interest, net of capitalized amounts Income taxes, net of refunds 2013 2012 2011 $ 64.1 129.4 $68.0 97.7 $65.0 70.5 Capital expenditures accrued but not paid, including amounts for discontinued operations, were $11.5 million in 2013, $12 million in 2012, and $9.5 million in 2011. Accounts Receivable We record trade accounts receivable at the invoiced amount. The allowances for doubtful accounts represent allowances for customer trade accounts receivable that are estimated to be partially or entirely uncollectible. The customer complaint reserve represents estimated sales returns and allowances. These allowances are used to reduce gross trade receivables to their net realizable values. We record these allowances based on estimates related to: (cid:129) Customer-specific allowances; (cid:129) Amounts based upon an aging schedule; and (cid:129) An amount, based on our historical experience, for allowances not yet identified. No single customer represented 10% or more of our net sales in, or trade accounts receivable at, year-end 2013 or 2012. However, during 2013, our ten largest customers by net sales represented 12% of our net sales. As of December 28, 2013, our ten largest customers by trade accounts receivable represented 14% of our trade accounts receivable. These customers were concentrated in the Pressure-sensitive Materials segment. We do not generally require our customers to provide collateral. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower-of-cost-or-market value and are categorized as raw materials, work-in-progress or finished goods. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (‘‘FIFO’’) method. Inventory reserves are recorded to cost of products sold for damaged, obsolete, excess and slow-moving inventory and we establish a lower cost basis for the inventory. We use estimates to record these reserves. Slow-moving inventory is reviewed by category and may be partially or fully reserved for depending on the type of product, level of usage, and the length of time the product has been included in inventory. Net inventories at year-end were as follows: (In millions) Raw materials Work-in-progress Finished goods Inventories, net $ 2013 196.3 149.0 148.8 $ 2012 184.5 139.2 149.6 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Capitalized software costs at year-end were as follows: (In millions) Cost Accumulated amortization Software, net 2013 2012 $ 427.9 (264.6) $ 388.4 (236.3) $ 163.3 $ 152.1 Software amortization expense from continuing operations was $35.3 million in 2013, $30.7 million in 2012, and $32.1 million in 2011. $ 494.1 $ 473.3 Impairment of Long-lived Assets Property, Plant and Equipment Major classes of property, plant and equipment, stated at cost, at year-end were as follows: (In millions) Land Buildings and improvements Machinery and equipment Construction-in-progress Property, plant and equipment Accumulated depreciation 2013 2012 $ 47.0 580.2 2,001.3 74.3 $ 56.5 660.5 2,090.5 63.6 2,702.8 (1,780.3) 2,871.1 (1,855.6) Property, plant and equipment, net $ 922.5 $ 1,015.5 Depreciation is generally computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from three to forty- seven years for buildings and improvements and two to thirty years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the term of the associated leases. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred; renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of assets, the accounts are relieved of the cost and the related accumulated depreciation, with any resulting gain or loss included in net income. The carrying amounts of capital lease assets were not significant at year-end 2013 and 2012. Software We capitalize internal and external software costs that are incurred during the application development stage of software development, including costs incurred for the design, coding, installation to hardware, testing, and upgrades and enhancements that provide additional functionalities and capabilities to the software and hardware. Internal and external software costs during the preliminary project stage are expensed, as are those costs during the post-implementation and/or operation stage, including internal and external training costs and maintenance costs. Capitalized software, which is included in ‘‘Other assets’’ in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software, ranging from two to ten years. Impairment charges are recorded when the carrying amounts of long-lived assets are determined not to be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by comparing the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from their use and eventual disposition to the carrying value of the related asset or asset group. The amount of impairment loss is calculated as the excess of the carrying value over the fair value. Historically, changes in market conditions and management strategy have caused us to reassess the carrying amount of our long-lived assets. Goodwill and Other Intangibles Resulting from Business Acquisitions Business combinations are accounted for by the acquisition method, and the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of net tangible assets and identified intangible assets acquired is considered goodwill. As a result, we disclose goodwill separately from other intangible assets. Other identifiable intangibles include customer relationships, patents and other acquired technology, trade names and trademarks, and other intangibles. We have the following reporting units: materials; retail branding and information solutions; reflective solutions; performance tapes; and medical solutions. In performing the required impairment tests, we primarily apply a present value (discounted cash flow) method to determine the fair value of the reporting units with goodwill. We perform our annual impairment test of goodwill during the fourth quarter. Certain factors may result in the need to perform an impairment test prior to the fourth quarter, including significant underperformance of a business relative to expected operating results, significant adverse economic and industry trends, significant decline in our market capitalization for an extended period of time relative to net book value, or a decision to divest an individual business within a reporting unit. We determine goodwill impairment using a two-step process. The first step is to identify if a potential impairment exists by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to have a potential impairment and the second step of the impairment test is not necessary. However, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step is performed to determine if goodwill is impaired and to measure the amount of impairment loss to recognize, if any. The second step, if necessary, compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying amount, then goodwill is not considered impaired. However, if the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. 34 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements In consultation with outside specialists, we estimate the fair value of our reporting units using various valuation techniques, with the primary technique being a discounted cash flow analysis. A discounted cash flow analysis requires us to make various assumptions about the reporting units, including sales, operating margins, growth rates, and discount rates. Assumptions about discount rates are based on a weighted-average cost of capital for comparable companies. Assumptions about sales, operating margins, and growth rates are based on our forecasts, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and marketplace data. Assumptions are also made for varying perpetual growth rates for periods beyond the long-term business plan period. We base our fair value estimates on projected financial information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. However, actual future results may differ from those estimates and projections, and those differences may be material. The valuation methodology used to estimate the fair value of reporting units requires inputs and assumptions that reflect current market conditions, as well as the impact of planned business and operational strategies that require management judgment. The estimated fair value could increase or decrease depending on changes in the inputs and assumptions. in the We test indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of trademarks, fourth quarter or whenever events or impairment for circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that their carrying values exceed their fair values. Fair value is estimated as the discounted value of future revenues using a royalty rate that a third party would pay for use of the asset. Variation in the royalty rates could impact the estimate of fair value. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. See also Note 3, ‘‘Goodwill and Other Intangibles Resulting from Business Acquisitions.’’ Foreign Currency Asset and liability accounts of international operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted-average currency rate for the fiscal year. Translation gains and in hyperinflationary economies, if any, are included in net income in the period incurred. Gains and losses resulting from hedging the value of investments in certain international operations and from translation of balance sheet accounts are recorded directly as a component of other comprehensive income. losses of subsidiaries operating Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in income in the period incurred. Transactions in foreign currencies (including receivables, payables and loans denominated in currencies other than the functional currency), including hedging impacts, decreased net income by $7.9 million, $8.8 million, and $4.4 million in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. We had no operations in hyperinflationary economies in fiscal years 2013, 2012, or 2011. Financial Instruments We enter into foreign exchange hedge contracts to reduce our 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 our operations outside the U.S. We enter into interest rate contracts to help manage our exposure to certain 35 Avery Dennison Corporation 2013 Annual Report interest rate fluctuations. We also enter into futures contracts to hedge certain price fluctuations for a portion of our anticipated domestic purchases of natural gas. The maximum length of time for which we hedge our exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 36 months. On the date we enter into a derivative contract, we determine whether the derivative will be designated as a hedge. Those derivatives not designated as hedges are recorded on the balance sheets at fair value, with changes in the fair value recognized in earnings. Those derivatives designated as hedges are classified as either (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment (a ‘‘fair value’’ hedge); or (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows that are to be received or paid in connection with a recognized asset or liability (a ‘‘cash flow’’ hedge). Our policy is not to purchase or hold any foreign currency, interest rate or commodity contracts for trading purposes. We assess, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether hedges are highly effective. If it is determined that a hedge is not highly effective, we prospectively discontinue hedge accounting. For cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the related gains and losses is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income, and the ineffective portion is reported in earnings. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. In the event the anticipated transaction is no longer likely to occur, we recognize the change in fair value of the instrument in current period earnings. Changes in fair value hedges are recognized in current period earnings. Changes in the fair value of underlying hedged items (such as recognized assets or liabilities) are also recognized in current period earnings and offset the changes in the fair value of the derivative. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, hedge transactions are classified in the same category as the item hedged, primarily in operating activities. See also Note 5, ‘‘Financial Instruments.’’ Fair Value Measurements We define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities which are required to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. We determine fair value based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which we use to prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers consist of Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions to determine the best estimate of fair value. Treasury Shares We fund a portion of our employee-related expenses using shares of our common stock held in treasury. We elected to record net gains or losses associated with our use of treasury shares to retained earnings. Revenue Recognition Sales are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, pricing is determinable, delivery has occurred based on applicable sales terms, and collection is reasonably assured. Sale terms are generally free on board (f.o.b.) shipping point or f.o.b. destination, depending upon local business customs. For most regions in which we operate, f.o.b. shipping point terms are utilized and sales are recorded at the time of shipment, because this is when title and risk of loss are transferred. In certain regions, notably in Europe, f.o.b. destination terms are generally utilized and sales are recorded when the products are delivered to the customer’s delivery site, because this is when title and risk of loss are transferred. Furthermore, sales, provisions for estimated returns, and the cost of products sold are recorded at the time title transfers to customers and when the customers assume the risks and rewards of ownership. Actual product returns are charged against estimated sales return allowances. Sales rebates and discounts are common practice in the industries in which we operate. Volume, promotional, price, cash and other discounts and customer incentives are accounted for as a reduction to gross sales. Rebates and discounts are recorded based upon estimates at the time products are sold. These estimates are based upon historical experience for similar programs and products. We review these rebates and discounts on an ongoing basis and accruals for rebates and discounts are adjusted, if necessary, as additional information becomes available. Advertising Costs Advertising costs from continuing operations, which are included in ‘‘Marketing, general and administrative expense’’ in the Consolidated Statements of Income, were $10.6 million in 2013, $8.9 million in 2012, and $9.3 million in 2011. Our policy is to expense advertising costs as incurred. Research and Development Research and development costs are related to research, design and testing of new products and applications and are expensed as from continuing incurred. Research and development expense operations, which is included in ‘‘Marketing, general and administrative expense’’ in the Consolidated Statements of Income, was $96 million in 2013, $98.6 million in 2012, and $93.8 million in 2011. Pension and Postretirement Benefits Assumptions used in determining projected benefit obligations and the fair value of plan assets for our defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans are evaluated by management in consultation with outside actuaries. In the event that we determine that changes are warranted in the assumptions used, such as the discount rate, expected long-term rate of return, or health care costs, future pension and postretirement benefit expenses could increase or decrease. Due to changes in market conditions or participant population, the actuarial assumptions that we use may differ from actual results, which could have a significant impact on our pension and postretirement liability and related cost. Refer to Note 6, ‘‘Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits,’’ for further information on these assumptions. Product Warranty We provide for an estimate of costs that may be incurred under our basic limited warranty at the time product revenue is recognized. These Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements costs primarily include materials and labor associated with the service or sale of the product. Factors that affect our warranty liability include the number of units installed or sold, historical and anticipated rate of warranty claims on those units, cost per claim to satisfy our warranty obligation and availability of insurance coverage. Because these factors are impacted by actual experience and future expectations, we assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liability and adjust the amounts as necessary. Our product warranty liability was $1.3 million and $.5 million at year-end 2013 and 2012, respectively. Long-Term Incentive Compensation No long-term incentive compensation expense was capitalized for the years ended 2013, 2012, or 2011. Changes in forfeiture rates are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. Valuation of Stock-Based Awards Our stock-based compensation expense is based on the fair value of awards, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, and is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for stock options, restricted stock units (‘‘RSUs’’), and performance units (‘‘PUs’’). The compensation expense related to market-leveraged stock units (‘‘MSUs’’) is based on the fair value of awards, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, and is amortized on a graded-vesting basis over their respective performance periods. Compensation expense awards with a market condition as a performance objective, which includes PUs and MSUs, is not adjusted if the condition is not met, as long as the requisite service period is met. The fair value of stock options is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires input assumptions for our expected dividend yield, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and the expected option term. The fair value of RSUs and certain PUs that are subject to achievement of performance objectives based on a performance condition is determined based on the closing price of our common stock as of the date of grant, adjusted for foregone dividends. The fair value of stock-based awards that are subject to achievement of performance objectives based on a market condition, which includes PUs and MSUs, is determined using the Monte-Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple input variables, including expected volatility assumptions and other assumptions appropriate for determining fair value, to estimate the probability of satisfying the target performance objectives established for the award. Certain of these assumptions are based on management’s estimates, in consultation with outside specialists. Significant changes in assumptions for future awards and actual forfeiture rates could materially impact stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations. Valuation of Cash-Based Awards Cash-based awards consist of long-term incentive units (‘‘LTI Units’’) granted to eligible employees. Cash-based awards are classified as liability awards and are remeasured at each quarter-end over the applicable vesting or performance period. In addition to LTI units that mirror the terms and conditions of RSUs, we also grant certain employees LTI units that mirror the terms and conditions of PUs and MSUs. 36 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Accounting for Income Taxes for Stock-Based Compensation We elected to use the short-cut method to calculate the historical pool of windfall tax benefits related to employee and non-employee director stock-based compensation awards. In addition, we elected to follow the tax law ordering approach to determine the sequence in which deductions and net operating loss carryforwards are utilized, as well as the direct-only approach to calculate the amount of windfall or shortfall tax benefits. See also Note 10, ‘‘Long-term Incentive Compensation.’’ Litigation Matters We are involved in various lawsuits, claims, inquiries, and other regulatory and compliance matters, most of which are routine to the nature of our business. When it is probable that a loss will be incurred and where a range of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the best estimate within the range is accrued. When the best estimate within the range cannot be determined, the low end of the range is accrued. The ultimate resolution of these claims could affect future results of operations should our exposure be materially different from our estimates or should liabilities be incurred that were not previously accrued. Potential insurance reimbursements are not offset against potential liabilities, and such liabilities are not discounted. Refer to Note 8, ‘‘Contingencies,’’ for further information. Environmental Expenditures Environmental expenditures are generally expensed. However, environmental expenditures for newly acquired assets and those which extend or improve the economic useful life of existing assets are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the acquired asset or the remaining life of the existing asset. We review our estimates of costs of compliance with environmental laws related to remediation and cleanup of various sites, including sites in which governmental agencies have designated us as a potentially responsible party. When it is probable that a loss will be incurred and where a range of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the best estimate within the range is accrued. When the best estimate within the range cannot be determined, the low end of the range is accrued. Potential insurance reimbursements are not offset against potential liabilities, and such liabilities are not discounted. Refer to Note 8, ‘‘Contingencies,’’ for further information. Asset Retirement Obligations We recognize a liability for the fair value of conditional asset retirement obligations based on estimates determined through present value techniques. An asset retirement is ‘‘conditional’’ when the timing and/or method of settlement of the retirement obligation is conditional upon a future event that may or may not be within our control. Our asset retirement obligations primarily relate to lease restoration costs. Our estimated liability associated with asset retirement obligations was $5.4 million and $11.9 million at year-end 2013 and 2012, respectively. Restructuring Costs We have compensation plans that provide eligible employees with severance in the event of an involuntary termination due to qualifying cost reduction actions. We calculate severance using the benefit formula under the plans. Accordingly, we record provisions for severance and other exit costs (including asset impairment charges and lease and other contract cancellation costs) when they are probable 37 Avery Dennison Corporation 2013 Annual Report and estimable. In the absence of a plan or established local practice for overseas jurisdictions, liabilities for restructuring costs are recognized when incurred. See also Note 11, ‘‘Cost Reduction Actions.’’ Taxes Based on Income Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. These amounts are adjusted, as appropriate, to reflect changes in tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce our deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Changes in tax laws or accounting standards and methods may affect recorded deferred taxes in future periods. Income taxes have not been provided on certain undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries because the earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. When establishing a valuation allowance, we consider future sources of taxable income such as ‘‘future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards’’ and ‘‘tax planning strategies.’’ A tax planning strategy is defined as ‘‘an action that: is prudent and feasible; an enterprise ordinarily might not take, but would take to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused; and would result in realization of deferred tax assets.’’ In the event we determine a deferred tax asset will not be realized in the future, the valuation adjustment to the deferred tax asset will be charged to earnings in the period in which we make such a determination. We also acquired certain net deferred tax assets with existing valuation allowances in prior years. If it is later determined that it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be realized, we will release the valuation allowance to current earnings or adjust the purchase price allocation. We calculate our current and deferred tax provision based on estimates and assumptions that could differ from the actual results reflected in income tax returns filed in subsequent years. Adjustments based on filed returns are recorded when identified. Investment tax credits are accounted for in the period earned in accordance with the flow-through method. The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. Our 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. We use a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We record a liability for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured and tax position taken or expected to be taken on our tax returns. To the extent that our assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. We report tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. Our estimates and assumptions used for determining realization of deferred tax assets and the outcome of uncertain tax issues are subject to our assessment of relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing as of the balance sheet date. Our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments that may materially impact our effective tax rate and/or our financial results. See also Note 12, ‘‘Taxes Based on Income.’’ Net Income Per Share The changes in ‘‘Accumulated other comprehensive loss’’ (net of Net income per common share was computed as follows: tax) for the year 2013 were as follows: Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements $ 2.19 $ 2.10 $ 1.80 December 28, 2013 $(1.0) $(418.1) $138.0 $(281.1) (In millions, except per share amounts) 2013 2012 2011 (A) Income from continuing operations (B) (Loss) income from discontinued $244.3 $157.6 $141.7 operations, net of tax (28.5) 57.8 48.4 (C) Net income available to common shareholders $215.8 $215.4 $190.1 (D) Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding 98.4 102.6 105.8 Dilutive shares (additional common shares issuable under employee stock-based awards) (E) Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, assuming dilution Net income (loss) per common share: Continuing operations (A) (cid:3) (D) Discontinued operations (B) (cid:3) (D) Net income per common share (C) (cid:3) (D) Net income (loss) per common share, assuming dilution: Continuing operations (A) (cid:3) (E) Discontinued operations (B) (cid:3) (E) Net income per common share, assuming dilution (C) (cid:3) (E) 1.7 .9 1.0 100.1 103.5 106.8 $ 2.48 (.29) $ 1.54 .56 $ 1.34 .46 $ 2.44 (.28) $ 1.52 .56 $ 1.33 .45 $ 2.16 $ 2.08 $ 1.78 Certain stock-based compensation awards were not included in the computation of net income per common share, assuming dilution, because they would not have had a dilutive effect. Stock-based compensation awards excluded totaled approximately 7 million shares in 2013, 12 million shares in 2012, and 11 million shares in 2011. the computation from Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income, net of tax, includes net income, foreign currency translation adjustment, net actuarial loss, prior service cost and net transition assets, and the gains or losses on the effective portion of cash flow and firm commitment hedges that are currently presented as a component of shareholders’ equity.

During 2013, we reclassified $6.4 million (net of tax) from ‘‘Accumulated other comprehensive loss’’ to ‘‘(Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax,’’ related to a net gain from curtailment in our domestic defined benefit plans and settlements from certain international pension plans as a result of the sale of the OCP and DES businesses. Refer to Note 6, ‘‘Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits,’’ for more information. Additionally, during 2013, we recognized $10.8 million (net of tax) of currency translation loss from ‘‘Accumulated other comprehensive loss’’ to ‘‘(Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax’’ as a result of the sale of the OCP and DES businesses. (In millions) Foreign currency translation adjustment Pension and other postretirement benefits: Net actuarial gain (loss) Prior service (cost) credit Reclassifications to net income: Amortization of net actuarial loss Amortization of prior service credit Amortization of transition asset Net curtailment on pension and post-retirement benefit obligations Settlement on pension obligations Derivative financial instruments: Losses (gains) recognized on cash flow hedges Reclassifications to net income Income tax expense (benefit) related to items of other comprehensive income (loss) 2013 2012 2011 $ – $ .9 $ – 26.4 (7.5) (38.3) – (56.4) 12.8 9.4 (1.3) – (4.8) .6 6.9 (1.5) (.1) – .2 4.7 (.7) (.1) – – .2 .1 (.7) 3.7 (1.1) 2.4 $23.1 $(28.9) $(38.4) Business Combinations We record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed from acquired businesses at fair value, and we make estimates and assumptions to determine fair value. We utilize a variety of assumptions and estimates that are believed to be reasonable in determining fair value for assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These assumptions and estimates include estimated discounted cash flow analysis, growth rates, discount rates, current replacement cost for similar capacity for certain assets, market rate assumptions for certain obligations and certain potential costs of compliance with environmental laws related to remediation and cleanup of acquired properties. We also utilize information obtained from management of the acquired businesses and our historical experience from previous acquisitions. We apply significant assumptions and estimates in determining the fair values of certain intangible assets resulting from the acquisitions (such as customer relationships, patents and other acquired technology, and trademarks and trade names, as well as related applicable useful lives), property, plant and equipment, receivables, inventories, investments, tax accounts, environmental liabilities, stock- based compensation awards, lease commitments and restructuring and integration costs. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that could affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates or actual results. Generally, changes to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed (including cost estimates for certain obligations and liabilities) are recorded as an adjustment to goodwill during the purchase price allocation period (generally within one year of the acquisition date) and as operating expenses thereafter. Assets Held for Sale We measure assets held for sale at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. 39 Avery Dennison Corporation 2013 Annual Report Recent Accounting Requirements In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘‘FASB’’) issued guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. We do not anticipate that adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures. In March 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance clarifying the accounting for the release of cumulative translation adjustments into net income when a parent company either (i) sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or (ii) no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. We do not anticipate that adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures. Transactions with Related Persons We enter into transactions with related persons infrequently. In cases in which we do enter into these transactions, we believe that they are in the ordinary course of business and on terms that would have been obtained from unaffiliated third persons. One of our former directors, Peter W. Mullin, who retired from our Board of Directors on April 25, 2013, was the chairman, chief executive officer and majority stockholder in various entities (collectively referred to as the ‘‘Mullin Companies’’) that previously provided executive compensation, benefits consulting and insurance agency services to us. In October 2008, the assets of the Mullin Companies were sold to a subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. (‘‘Prudential’’). We pay premiums to insurance carriers for life insurance originally placed by the Mullin Companies in connection with our various employee benefit plans. Mr. Mullin received approximately $.1 million in each of the fiscal years ended 2012 and 2011, from the commissions earned by Prudential from those insurance carriers. Mr. Mullin’s share of the commissions was determined in accordance with the terms of a commission sharing agreement entered into between Mr. Mullin and Prudential at the time of the sale. In addition, substantially all of the life insurance policies we originally placed through the Mullin Companies were issued by insurance carriers that participated in reinsurance agreements with M Life Insurance Company (‘‘M Life’’), a wholly-owned subsidiary of M Financial Holdings, Inc., a company in which the Mullin Companies own a minority interest and for which Mr. Mullin serves as chairman. Mr. Mullin received approximately $.3 million and $.1 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, from the net reinsurance gains of M Life. A portion of the reinsurance gains received by Mr. Mullin were subject to forfeiture in certain circumstances. NOTE 2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, EXIT/SALE OF PRODUCT LINES, SALE OF ASSETS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE Discontinued Operations In December 2011, we signed an agreement to sell our OCP business to 3M Company (‘‘3M’’) for gross cash proceeds of $550 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the agreement. This business comprised substantially all of our previously Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements reported OCP segment. On October 3, 2012, we and 3M mutually agreed to terminate the agreement. We continued to pursue the divestiture of the OCP business through the end of 2012 and classified its operating results, together with certain costs associated with the planned divestiture, as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. On January 29, 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell our OCP and DES businesses to CCL Industries Inc. (‘‘CCL’’). As part of the agreement with CCL, we agreed to enter into a supply agreement at closing, pursuant to which CCL would purchase certain pressure- sensitive label stock, adhesives and other base material products for up to six years after closing. While the supply agreement is expected to continue generating revenues and cash flows from the OCP and DES businesses, our continuing involvement in the OCP and DES operations is not expected to be significant to us as a whole. On July 1, 2013, we completed the sale for a total purchase price of $500 million ($481.2 million net of cash provided) and entered into an amendment to the purchase agreement, which, among other things, increased the target net working capital amount and amended provisions related to employee matters and indemnification. We continue to be subject to indemnification provisions, including for breaches of certain representations, warranties, and covenants, under the terms of the purchase agreement. In addition, the tax liability associated with the sale is subject to completion of tax return filings in the jurisdictions in which the OCP and DES businesses operated. The operating results of the discontinued operations and loss on sale were as follows: (In millions) Net sales (Loss) income before taxes, including divestiture-related and restructuring costs Provision for income taxes (Loss) income from discontinued 2013 2012 2011 $380.4 $912.3 $956.2 $ (12.4) $ 86.4 $ 84.6 36.2 28.6 .1 operations, net of tax before loss on sale Loss on sale, net of tax provision of $65.4 (12.5) (16.0) 57.8 – 48.4 – (Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax $ (28.5) $ 57.8 $ 48.4 The (loss) income before taxes, including divestiture-related and restructuring costs, for 2013 included a curtailment gain associated with our postretirement health and welfare benefit plans, partially offset by divestiture-related costs. Refer to Note 6, ‘‘Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits,’’ for information regarding the curtailment gain. The (loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax, reflected the elimination of certain corporate cost allocations. The income tax provision included in the net loss on sale reflects tax versus book basis differences, primarily associated with goodwill. Net sales from continuing operations to discontinued operations were $45.8 million, $100 million, and $100 million during 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. These sales have been included in ‘‘Net sales’’ in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The assets and liabilities of the OCP business were classified as ‘‘held for sale’’ at December 29, 2012, as we continued to pursue the sale of this business through the end of 2012 and into 2013. The assets and liabilities of the DES business were classified as ‘‘held for sale’’ since the first quarter of 2013 in connection with our agreement to sell both businesses to CCL, as discussed above. 40 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements The carrying values of the major classes of assets and liabilities of the OCP business that were classified as ‘‘held for sale’’ were as follows: (In millions) Assets Trade accounts receivable, net Inventories, net Other current assets Total current assets Property, plant and equipment, net Goodwill Other intangibles resulting from business acquisitions, net Other assets Liabilities Short-term borrowings Accounts payable Accrued payroll and employee benefits Other accrued liabilities Total current liabilities Non-current liabilities 2012 $119.0 57.2 7.7 183.9 79.5 167.9 32.5 8.4 $472.2 $ – 31.2 21.2 91.9 144.3 16.2 $160.5 Exit/Sale of Product Lines In the third quarter of 2012, we exited certain product lines in the previously reported OCP segment, incurring exit costs of $3.9 million (included in ‘‘Other expense, net’’ in the Consolidated Statements of Income). The operating results of these product lines, which are not significant, were included in other specialty converting businesses for all periods presented. Goodwill In 2011, we received proceeds totaling $21.5 million from the sale of two product lines, one from our performance films business ($21 million) and the other from our label and packaging materials business ($.5 million). In 2012, we received an additional $.8 million from the product line sale in our label and packaging materials business. In connection with the sale of the product line from the performance films business, we recognized a gain of $5.6 million in 2011 (included in ‘‘Other expense, net’’ in the Consolidated Statements of Income). Sale of Assets and Assets Held for Sale In March 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell the property and equipment of our corporate headquarters in Pasadena, California for approximately $20 million. In April 2013, we completed the sale and recognized a pre-tax gain of $10.9 million in ‘‘Other expense, net’’ in the Consolidated Statements of Income. During 2013, we also completed the sale of certain property, plant and equipment in China for approximately $11 million, as well as the sale of a research facility also located in Pasadena, California for approximately $5 million. In the third quarter of 2013, we classified certain properties and equipment that we are in the process of selling as ‘‘held for sale’’ in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 28, 2013. The carrying value of these assets was $1.3 million as of December 28, 2013. NOTE 3. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES RESULTING FROM BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS Results from our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2013 indicated that no impairment had occurred in 2013 related to goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The fair value of these assets was primarily based on Level 3 inputs. Changes in the net carrying amount of goodwill for 2013 and 2012, by reportable segment and other businesses, were as follows: (In millions) Goodwill as of December 31, 2011 Foreign currency translation adjustments Goodwill as of December 29, 2012 Divestiture (1) Acquisition adjustments Translation adjustments Goodwill as of December 28, 2013 Pressure- sensitive Materials $336.7 1.6 338.3 – – (3.9) Retail Branding and Information solutions Other specialty converting businesses $419.1 3.5 422.6 – (.2) (5.7) $ 3.5 – 3.5 (3.5) – – Total $759.3 5.1 764.4 (3.5) (.2) (9.6) $334.4 $416.7 $ – $751.1 (1) See Note 2, ‘‘Discontinued Operations, Exit/Sale of Product Lines, Sale of Assets and Assets Held for Sale,’’ for more information. The carrying amount of goodwill at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 was net of accumulated impairment losses of $820 million, which were reported in the Retail Branding and Information Solutions segment. Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets The carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, consisting of trademarks, was $10.9 million and $11.1 million at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. In conjunction with the preparation of our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2012, we determined that the carrying value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded its fair value which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $7 million, which was recorded in ‘‘Other 41 Avery Dennison Corporation 2013 Annual Report Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements expense, net’’ in the Consolidated Statements of Income. This charge was included in the Retail Branding and Information Solutions reportable segment. The fair value of these assets was primarily based on Level 3 inputs. Finite-Lived Intangible Assets The following table sets forth our finite-lived intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, which continue to be amortized: (In millions) Customer relationships Patents and other acquired technology Trade names and trademarks Other intangibles Total 2013 Accumulated Amortization $164.6 38.3 22.5 11.1 Net Carrying Amount $69.5 10.6 3.7 1.3 Gross Carrying Amount $234.7 49.0 25.7 12.4 2012 Accumulated Amortization $142.3 34.0 21.9 9.7 Net Carrying Amount $ 92.4 15.0 3.8 2.7 $236.5 $85.1 $321.8 $207.9 $113.9 Gross Carrying Amount $234.1 48.9 26.2 12.4 $321.6 The finite-lived intangible assets related to our OCP business were classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at year-end 2012 as ‘‘Assets held for sale.’’ See Note 2, ‘‘Discontinued Operations, Exit/Sale of Product Lines, Sale of Assets and Assets Held for Sale,’’ for more information. Amortization expense from continuing operations for finite-lived intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions was $28.5 million for 2013, $29.9 million for 2012, and $30.3 million for 2011. The estimated amortization expense from continuing operations for finite-lived intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions for each of the next five fiscal years is expected to be as follows: 2012. A portion of our outstanding borrowings at December 29, 2012 was repaid using the net proceeds from the $250 million issuance of senior notes discussed below, as well as the net proceeds from divestitures.

DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASES Short-Term Borrowings We had no outstanding short-term variable rate borrowings from commercial paper issuances at December 28, 2013, and $187 million outstanding (weighted-average interest rate of .4%) at December 29, Short-Term Credit Facilities In December 2011, we amended and restated our revolving credit facility (the ‘‘Revolver’’) with certain domestic and foreign banks, which reduced the amount available thereunder from $1 billion to $675 million. The amendment also extended the Revolver’s maturity date to December 22, 2016, modified the minimum interest coverage financial covenant level, and adjusted pricing to reflect market conditions. The maturity date may be extended for one-year periods under certain circumstances as set forth in the agreement. Commitments under the Revolver may be increased by up to $250 million, subject to lender approval and customary requirements. Financing available under the Revolver is used as a back-up facility for our commercial paper issuances and can be used to finance other corporate requirements. In conjunction with the amendment, we recorded a debt extinguishment loss of $.7 million (included in ‘‘Other expense, net’’ in the Consolidated Statements of Income) in the fourth quarter of 2011 related to the unamortized debt issuance costs for the previous Revolver. No balances were outstanding under the Revolver as of December 28, 2013 or December 29, 2012. Commitment fees associated with this facility in 2013, 2012, and 2011 were $1.4 million, $1.4 million, and $2.5 million, respectively. Uncommitted lines of credit were approximately $371 million and $411 million at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. These lines may be cancelled at any time by us or the issuing banks. Short-term borrowings outstanding under uncommitted lines of credit were $73.9 million (weighted-average interest rate of 11.2%) and $81.1 million (weighted-average interest rate of 11.2%) at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. 42 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Long-Term Borrowings and Capital Leases Long-term debt, including its respective interest rates, and capital lease obligations at year-end consisted of the following: $247.5 million and were used to repay a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under our commercial paper program during the second quarter of 2013. In January 2013, we repaid $250 million of senior notes due in 2013 (In millions) 2013 2012 using commercial paper borrowings.

Maturities of long-term debt and capital leases for each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter are expected to be as follows: Year 2014 (classified as current) 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 and thereafter (In millions) $ 1.6 5.7 .2 249.7 .2 694.8 In April 2013, we issued $250 million of senior notes due April 2023. The notes bear an interest rate of 3.35% per year, payable semiannually in arrears. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were approximately Other Our various loan agreements require that we maintain specified financial covenant ratios of total debt and interest expense in relation to certain measures of income. As of December 28, 2013, we were in compliance with our financial covenants. Our total interest costs from continuing operations in 2013, 2012, and 2011 were $62.3 million, $76.2 million, and $75.9 million, respectively, of which $3.3 million, $3.3 million, and $4.8 million, respectively, were capitalized as part of the cost of assets. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt is primarily based on the credit spread above U.S. Treasury securities on notes with similar rates, credit ratings, and remaining maturities. The fair value of short-term borrowings, which include commercial paper and short-term lines of credit, approximates carrying value given the short duration of these obligations. The fair value of our total debt was $1.06 billion at December 28, 2013 and $1.31 billion at December 29, 2012. Fair value amounts were determined primarily based on Level 2 inputs. Refer to Note 1, ‘‘Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.’’ NOTE 5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS As of December 28, 2013, the aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of our outstanding commodity contracts and foreign exchange contracts was $4.4 million and $1.9 billion, respectively. We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We designate 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 fair value and balance sheet locations of derivatives as of December 28, 2013: (In millions) Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Asset Liability Foreign exchange contracts Commodity contracts Other current assets Other current assets $3.1 .1 $3.2 Other accrued liabilities Other accrued liabilities Fair Value $4.7 – $4.7 The following table provides the fair value and balance sheet locations of derivatives as of December 29, 2012: (In millions) Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Asset Liability Foreign exchange contracts Commodity contracts Commodity contracts Other current assets $10.0 Other accrued liabilities Other accrued liabilities Long-term retirement benefits and other liabilities $10.0 $2.8 .9 .1 $3.8 43 Avery Dennison Corporation 2013 Annual Report Fair Value Hedges For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative and 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. (In millions) Location of Gain (Loss) in Income 2013 2012 2011 Foreign exchange Cost of products contracts sold $ 2.3 $ – $ .5 Foreign exchange Marketing, general contracts and administrative expense (35.9) 17.8 (13.0) $(33.6) $17.8 $(12.5) 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 Gains (losses) recognized in ‘‘Accumulated other comprehensive loss’’ (effective portion) on derivatives related to cash flow hedge contracts were as follows: (In millions) Foreign exchange contracts Commodity contracts 2013 2012 2011 $ 1.1 $ (.9) $ (.1) (.9) .3 (3.3) $ 1.0 $ (1.8) $ (3.0) Amounts reclassified from ‘‘Accumulated other comprehensive loss’’ (effective portion) on derivatives related to cash flow hedge contracts were as follows: (In millions) Location of Gain (Loss) in Income 2013 2012 2011 Foreign exchange Cost of products contracts sold $ .6 $ (2.5) $ .9 Commodity contracts Cost of products Interest rate contracts Interest expense sold (1.2) (.1) (2.8) (4.4) (2.9) (4.2) $ (.7) $ (9.7) $ (6.2) The amount of gain or loss recognized in income related to the ineffective portion of, and the amount excluded from, effectiveness testing for cash flow hedges and derivatives not designated as hedging instruments was not material in 2013, 2012, or 2011. As of December 28, 2013, we expect a net gain of $.3 million to be reclassified from ‘‘Accumulated other comprehensive loss’’ to earnings Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within the next 12 months. See Note 1, ‘‘Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,’’ for more information. NOTE 6. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS Defined Benefit Plans We sponsor a number of defined benefit plans, the benefits under some of which have been frozen, covering eligible employees in the U.S. and certain other countries. Benefits payable to an employee are based primarily on years of service and the employee’s compensation during the course of his or her employment with us. While we have not expressed any intent to terminate these plans, we may do so at any time, subject to applicable laws and regulations. We are also obligated to pay unfunded termination indemnity benefits to certain employees outside of the U.S., which are subject to applicable agreements, local laws and regulations. We have not incurred significant costs indemnity related arrangements, and therefore, no related costs are included in the disclosures below. termination to Effective December 31, 2011, benefits under our U.K. defined benefit plan were frozen. Benefits under this plan stopped accruing; however, benefits accrued through December 31, 2011 were preserved and will be paid out (for employees fully vested at the time of retirement or other qualified event) under the terms of the plan. We did not incur curtailment loss in connection with the freezing of benefits under this plan. Employees who participated in our U.S. defined benefit plan, the Avery Dennison Pension Plan (‘‘ADPP’’), between December 1, 1986 and November 30, 1997, may also have a benefit under our Stock Holding and Retirement Enhancement Plan (‘‘SHARE Plan’’), a defined contribution plan. The ADPP is a floor offset plan that coordinates the amount of projected benefit obligation to an eligible participant with the SHARE Plan. The total benefit payable to an eligible participant equals the greater of the value of the participant’s benefit from the ADPP or the value of the participant’s SHARE Plan account. Lower than expected asset returns on the participant balances in the SHARE Plan may increase the projected benefit obligation under the ADPP. In the fourth quarter of 2013, we amended the SHARE Plan to require participants to make an early election of whether they want to (a) receive their assets in the SHARE Plan as a distribution, in which case their retirement benefit under the ADPP would be offset by the annuity equivalent of these assets, or (b) transfer their SHARE Plan assets to the ADPP and receive the full ADPP retirement benefit in annuity form, rather than wait to make such election upon termination of employment. The amendment resulted in an estimated actuarial loss of $21 million to the ADPP, which is subject to future amortization. This estimate will be adjusted by the end of 2014 to reflect the actual elections of participants. Plan Assets During 2012, we transitioned the investment management of the ADPP assets to a liability driven investment (LDI) strategy. Under an LDI strategy, the assets are invested in a diversified portfolio that is split into two sub-portfolios: a growth portfolio and a liability hedging portfolio. The growth portfolio consists primarily of equity and high-yield fixed income securities. The liability hedging portfolio consists primarily of investment grade fixed income securities and cash, and is intended, over time, to more closely match the liabilities of the plan. The investment objective of the portfolio is to improve the funded status of the plan; as funded status reaches certain trigger points, the portfolio 44 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements moves to a more conservative asset allocation by increasing the allocation to the liability hedging portfolio. The current allocation is 51% in the growth portfolio and 49% in the liability hedging portfolio, subject to periodic fluctuations due to market movements. The plan assets are diversified across asset classes, striving to balance risk and return within the limits of prudent risk-taking and Section 404 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Because many of the pension liabilities are long-term, the investment horizon is also long-term, but the investment plan must also ensure adequate near-term liquidity to fund benefit payments. Assets of our international plans are invested in accordance with local accepted practices and primarily include equity securities, fixed income securities, insurance contracts and cash. Asset allocations and investments vary by country and plan. Our target plan asset investment allocation for our international plans combined is 37% in equity securities, 48% in fixed income securities and cash, and 15% in insurance contracts and other investments, subject to periodic fluctuations in these respective asset classes. Fair Value Measurements The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value: Cash is valued at nominal value. Money market funds are valued at net asset value (‘‘NAV’’). Mutual funds are valued at fair value as determined by quoted market prices, based upon the NAV of shares held by the plans at year-end. Pooled funds, which include real estate pooled funds and multi-asset common trust funds, are comprised of shares or units in funds that are not publicly traded and are valued at net unit value, as determined by the fund’s trustees based on the underlying securities in the trust. Equities are valued at the closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. Real estate investment trusts are valued based on quoted prices in active markets. Debt securities consist primarily of treasury securities and corporate bonds, which are valued using bid prices; observable market inputs to determine these prices include reportable trades, benchmark yields, credit spreads, broker/dealer quotes, bids and offers. Insurance contracts are valued at book value, which approximates fair value and is calculated using the prior year balance plus or minus investment returns and changes in cash flows. Pooled funds – alternative investments are investments in a fund of hedge funds and are valued monthly on a one-month lag. We assess information available to us to determine whether there are any material changes to values at the reporting date. As of the end of fiscal 2013, our investment in pooled funds – alternative investments was subject to a lock up period which ends in 2014, after which shares may be redeemed quarterly upon 65 days’ notice. The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while we believe the valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Our policy is to fund the cost of the postretirement benefits from operating cash flows. While we have not expressed any intent to terminate postretirement health benefits, we may do so at any time, subject to applicable laws and regulations. In November 2011, we made certain changes to our U.S. postretirement health benefit plan. As a result of these changes, we will no longer subsidize retiree medical premiums for eligible participants who retired after December 31, 2013. In addition, beginning January 1, 2012, retiree medical premiums for eligible participants who retired on or after January 1, 2007 were based on the claims expense of the retiree group, resulting in a higher premium rate for retirees and lower claims expense for us. Plan Assumptions Discount Rate In consultation with our actuaries, we annually review and determine the discount rates to be used in connection with our postretirement obligations. The assumed discount rate for each pension plan reflects market rates for high quality corporate bonds currently available. In the U.S., our discount rate is determined by evaluating yield curves consisting of large populations of high quality corporate bonds. The projected pension benefit payment streams are then matched with the bond portfolios to determine a rate that reflects the liability duration unique to our plans. Long-term Return on Assets We determine the long-term rate of return assumption for plan assets by reviewing the historical and expected returns of both the equity and fixed income markets, taking into account our asset allocation, the correlation between our asset classes, and the mix of active and passive investments. Additionally, current market conditions, 48 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements including interest rates, are evaluated and market data is reviewed for reasonability and appropriateness. A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects: Healthcare Cost Trend Rate Our practice is to fund the cost of postretirement benefits from operating cash flows. For measurement purposes, a 7% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2014. This rate is expected to decrease to approximately 5% by 2018.

The corresponding adjustment affected other comprehensive income, with no impact to net income in 2013, and is subject to future amortization. The impact of this out-of-period adjustment was not considered material to the current or any previous financial statements.

We also expect to contribute approximately $17 million to our international pension plans, bringing our total expected contribution to our U.S. and international pension plans to approximately $21 million. We also expect to contribute approximately $2 million to our postretirement benefit plan in 2014.

Employees hired after December 31, 2008, who were no longer eligible to participate in our defined benefit pension plans and early retiree medical plan, received an enhanced employer matching contribution in the Savings Plan through December 31, 2010. Effective January 1, 2011, we increased and made uniform our matching contribution for all participants in the Savings Plan in connection with the freezing of benefits under the ADPP and Benefit Restoration Plan effective December 31, 2010. We recognized expense from continuing operations of $21 million, $19.8 million, and $19.3 million in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, related to our employer contributions and employer match of participant contributions to the Savings Plan. Other Retirement Plans We have deferred compensation plans which permit eligible employees and directors to defer a portion of their compensation. The compensation voluntarily deferred by the participant, together with certain employer contributions, earn specified and variable rates of return. As of year-end 2013 and 2012, we had accrued $128.6 million and $128.3 million, respectively, for our obligations under these plans. These obligations are funded by corporate-owned life insurance contracts and standby letters of credit. As of year-end 2013 and 2012, these obligations were secured by standby letters of credit of $3 million and $16 million, respectively. Proceeds from the insurance policies are payable to us upon the death of covered participants. The cash surrender value of these policies, net of outstanding loans, included in ‘‘Other assets’’ in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $204.6 million and $187.4 million at year-end 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our deferred compensation expense (gain) from continuing operations was $5.9 million, $7.1 million, and $(4.1) million for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. A portion of the interest on certain of our contributions may be forfeited by participants if their employment terminates before age 55 other than by reason of death or disability. We maintain a Directors Deferred Equity Compensation Plan, which allows our non-employee directors to elect to receive their cash compensation in deferred stock units (‘‘DSUs’’) issued under our stock option and incentive plan. Dividend equivalents, representing the value of dividends per share paid on shares of our common stock and calculated with reference to the number of DSUs held as of a quarterly dividend record date, are credited in the form of additional DSUs. A director’s DSUs are converted into shares of our common stock upon NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS Minimum annual rental commitments on operating leases having initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms of one year or more are as follows: Year 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 and thereafter Total minimum lease payments (In millions) $ 52.2 41.9 30.2 17.2 12.2 53.1 $206.8 Rent expense for operating leases from continuing operations, which includes maintenance and insurance costs and property taxes, was approximately $70 million in 2013, $75 million in 2012, and $84 million in 2011. Operating leases relate primarily to office and warehouse space, and equipment for electronic data processing and transportation. The terms of these leases do not impose significant restrictions or unusual obligations, except as noted below. On September 9, 2005, we completed a ten-year lease financing for a commercial facility located in Mentor, Ohio, used primarily for the North American headquarters and research center of our Materials group. The facility consists generally of land, buildings, and equipment. We lease the facility under an operating lease arrangement, which contains a residual value guarantee of $31.5 million, as well as certain obligations with respect to the refinancing of the lessor’s debt of $11.5 million (collectively, the ‘‘Guarantee’’). At the end of the lease term, we have the option to purchase or remarket the facility at an amount equivalent to the value of the Guarantee. If our estimated fair value (or estimated selling price) of the facility falls below the Guarantee, we would be required to pay the lessor a shortfall, which is an amount equivalent to the Guarantee less our estimated fair value. During the second quarter of 2011, we estimated a shortfall with respect to the Guarantee and began to recognize the shortfall on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. The carrying amount of the shortfall was approximately $19 million at December 28, 2013, which was included in ‘‘Long-term retirement benefits and other liabilities’’ in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 4, ‘‘Debt and Capital Leases,’’ for capital lease obligations. NOTE 8. CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings We are involved in various lawsuits, claims, inquiries, and other regulatory and compliance matters, most of which are routine to the nature of our business. We have accrued liabilities for matters where it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Because of the uncertainties associated with claims resolution and litigation, future expenses to resolve these matters could be higher than the liabilities we have accrued; however, we are 52 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements unable to reasonably estimate a range of potential expenses. If information becomes available that allows us to reasonably estimate the range of potential expenses in an amount higher or lower than what we have accrued, we adjust our accrued liabilities accordingly. Additional lawsuits, claims, inquiries, and other regulatory and compliance matters could arise in the future. The range of expenses for resolving any future matters will be assessed as they arise; until then, a range of potential expenses for such resolution cannot be determined. Based upon current information, we believe that the impact of the resolution of these matters would not be, individually or in the aggregate, material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Environmental As of December 28, 2013, we have been designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’) and/or other responsible state agencies as a potentially responsible party (‘‘PRP’’) at ten 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 our liability has been agreed. We are participating with other PRPs at these sites, and anticipate that our share of remediation costs will be determined pursuant to agreements entered into in the normal course of negotiations with the EPA or other governmental authorities. We have 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. These estimates could change as a result of changes in planned remedial actions, remediation technologies, site conditions, and the estimated time to complete remediation, environmental laws and regulations, and other factors. Because of the uncertainties associated with environmental assessment and remediation activities, future expenses to remediate these sites could be higher than the liabilities we have accrued; however, we are unable to reasonably estimate a range of potential expenses. If information becomes available that allows us to reasonably estimate the range of potential expenses in an amount higher or lower than what we have accrued, we adjust our environmental liabilities accordingly. In addition, we may be identified as a PRP at additional sites in the future. The range of expenses for remediation of any future-identified sites will be addressed as they arise; until then, a range of expenses for such remediation cannot be determined. The activity in 2013 and 2012 related to environmental liabilities was as follows: (In millions) Balance at beginning of year Charges (reversals), net Payments Balance at end of year 2013 2012 $32.5 4.6 (7.5) $40.6 (3.1) (5.0) $29.6 $32.5 As of December 28, 2013, approximately $10 million of the balance was classified as short-term and was included in ‘‘Other accrued liabilities’’ in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Guarantees We participate in receivable financing programs with several financial institutions whereby advances may be requested from these financial institutions. We guarantee the collection of the related 53 Avery Dennison Corporation 2013 Annual Report receivables. At December 28, 2013, guaranteed was approximately $6 million. the outstanding amount Unused letters of credit (primarily standby) outstanding with institutions were approximately $89 million at financial various December 28, 2013. NOTE 9. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY Common Stock and Share Repurchase Program Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes five million shares of $1 par value preferred stock (none outstanding), with respect to which our Board of Directors may fix the series and terms of issuance, and 400 million shares of $1 par value voting common stock. From time to time, our Board of Directors authorizes us to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock. Repurchased shares may be reissued under our stock option and incentive plan or used In 2013, we repurchased approximately 6.6 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $283.5 million. for other corporate purposes. On July 25, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of additional shares of our common stock in the total aggregate amount of up to $400 million (exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses related to such purchases). This authorization will remain in effect until shares totaling $400 million have been repurchased. On July 26, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of additional shares of our common stock in the total aggregate amount of up to $400 million (exclusive of any fees, commissions or other expenses related to such purchases). This authorization will remain in effect until shares totaling $400 million have been repurchased. As of December 28, 2013, shares of our common stock in the aggregate amount of approximately $455 million remained authorized for repurchase under these Board authorizations. NOTE 10. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION Equity Awards Stock-Based Compensation We maintain various stock option and incentive plans and grant our annual stock-based compensation awards to eligible employees in February and non-employee directors in May. Prior to 2013, these awards were granted to non-employee directors in April. Certain awards granted to retirement-eligible employees vest in full upon retirement; awards to these employees are accounted for as fully vested on the date of grant. Stock-based compensation expense from continuing operations and the total recognized tax benefit related to this expense for the years 2013, 2012, and 2011 were as follows: (In millions) Stock-based compensation expense Tax benefit 2013 2012 2011 $32.3 10.8 $35.8 12.5 $36.4 12.5 This expense was included in ‘‘Marketing, general and administrative expense’’ in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of December 28, 2013, we had approximately $57 million of unrecognized compensation expense from continuing operations related to unvested stock options, PUs, MSUs, and RSUs. The unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted-average requisite service period of approximately two years for each of these awards. Stock Options Stock options granted to non-employee directors and employees may be granted at no less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant. Options generally vest ratably over a three-year period for non-employee directors and over a four-year period for employees. Options expire ten years from the date of grant. The fair value of our stock option awards is estimated as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires input assumptions for our expected dividend yield, expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate and the expected option term. The following assumptions are used in estimating the fair value of granted stock options: Risk-free interest rate is based on the 52-week average of the Treasury-Bond rate that has a term corresponding to the expected option term. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Expected stock price volatility represents an average of the implied and historical volatility. Expected dividend yield is based on the current annual dividend divided by the 12-month average of our monthly stock price prior to grant. Expected option term is determined based on historical experience under our stock option and incentive plans. The weighted-average fair value per share of options granted during 2013 was $6.97, compared to $7.08 for 2012, and $9.45 for 2011. The underlying weighted-average assumptions used were as follows: Risk-free interest rate Expected stock price volatility Expected dividend yield Expected option term 2013 2012 2011 1.04% 27.17% 3.40% 1.82% 32.81% 3.30% 2.22% 30.70% 2.76% 6.2 years 6.0 years 6.2 years The following table sets forth stock option information related to our stock option and incentive plans during 2013: Outstanding at December 29, 2012 Granted Exercised Forfeited or expired Outstanding at December 28, 2013 Options vested and expected to vest at December 28, 2013 Options exercisable at December 28, 2013 The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $26.1 million in 2013, $3.8 million in 2012, and $2.9 million in 2011. Cash received by us from the exercise of these stock options was approximately $44.8 million in 2013, $10.2 million in 2012, and $3.9 million in 2011. The tax benefit associated with these exercised options was $8.5 million in 2013, $1.3 million in 2012, and $.9 million in 2011. The intrinsic value of the stock options is based on the amount by which the market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option. Performance Units (‘‘PUs’’) PUs are granted under our stock option and incentive plan to certain of our eligible employees. PUs are payable in shares of our common stock at the end of a three-year cliff vesting period provided that certain performance objectives are achieved at the end of the period. Over the performance period, the estimated number of shares of our common stock issuable upon vesting is adjusted upward or downward based upon the probability of achievement of performance objectives. The actual number of shares issued can range from 0% to 200% of the target shares at the time of grant. We exceeded the target level for certain performance objectives established for the 2010-2012 performance period, which resulted in an overall payout of 117% of target for the PUs granted in 2010. These awards were paid in the first quarter of 2013.

Market-Leveraged Stock Units (‘‘MSUs’’) In 2013, in lieu of stock options and RSUs, we began granting performance-based MSUs, which vest ratably over a four-year period. Although dividend equivalents accrue on MSUs during the vesting period, they are earned and paid only at vesting. The number of MSU shares earned is based upon our absolute total shareholder return at each vesting date and can range from 0% to 200% of the target amount of MSUs subject to vesting. Each of the four vesting periods represents one tranche of MSUs and the fair value of each of these four tranches 54 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements was determined using the Monte-Carlo simulation model, which utilizes multiple input variables, including expected volatility assumptions and other assumptions, to estimate the probability of achieving the performance objective established for the award. The following table summarizes information related to awarded MSUs: Unvested at December 29, 2012 Granted at target Vested Forfeited/cancelled Number of MSUs (in thousands) – 346.6 – (16.5) Weighted- average grant-date fair value $ – 51.40 – 51.56 Unvested at December 28, 2013 330.1 $51.40 Restricted Stock Units (‘‘RSUs’’) RSUs granted under our stock option and incentive plan usually vest ratably over a period of three years for non-employee directors and four years for employees provided that directorship or employment continues through the applicable vesting date. If the condition is not met, unvested RSUs are generally forfeited. The following table summarizes information related to awarded RSUs: Unvested at December 29, 2012 Granted Vested Forfeited/cancelled Number of RSUs (in thousands) 1,352.2 59.9 (548.6) (182.5) Weighted- average grant-date fair value $29.68 38.72 29.06 29.77 Unvested at December 28, 2013 681.0 $31.06 Cash Awards Long-Term Incentive Units In 2012, we began granting long-term incentive units (‘‘LTI units’’) under our long-term incentive unit plan to certain eligible employees. LTI Units are service-based awards that generally vest ratably over a four-year period. The settlement value equals the number of vested LTI units multiplied by the average of the high and low market prices of our common stock on the vesting date. The compensation expense related to these awards is amortized on a straight-line basis and the fair value is remeasured using the estimated percentage of units expected to be earned multiplied by the average of the high and low market prices of our common stock at each quarter-end. In 2013, we also began granting cash-based awards in the form of performance and market-leveraged LTI Units to eligible employees. Performance LTI Units are payable in cash at the end of a three-year cliff vesting period provided that certain performance objectives are achieved at the end of the performance period. Market-leveraged LTI Units are payable in cash and vest ratably over a period of four years. The number of performance and market-leveraged LTI Units earned at vesting is adjusted upward or downward based upon the probability of achieving the performance objectives established for the respective award and the actual number of units issued can range from 0% to 200% of the target units subject to vesting. The performance and market-leveraged LTI Units are remeasured using the estimated percentage of units expected to be earned multiplied by the average of the high and low market prices of our common stock at each quarter-end over respective performance periods. The compensation expense related to performance LTI Units is amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective performance period. The compensation expense related to market-leveraged LTI Units is amortized on a graded-vesting basis over their respective performance periods. their The compensation expense from continuing operations related to these units was $6.3 million and $1.9 million for the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. This expense was included in ‘‘Marketing, general and administrative expense’’ in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The total recognized tax benefit related to these units was $3.2 million and $.5 million for the years December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012. NOTE 11. COST REDUCTION ACTIONS 2012 Program In 2013, we recorded $40.3 million in restructuring charges, net of reversals, related to the restructuring program we initiated in 2012 (the ‘‘2012 Program’’), which consisted of severance and related costs for the reduction of approximately 1,400 positions, lease and other contract cancellation costs, and asset impairment charges. In 2012, we recorded $56.4 million in restructuring charges, net of reversals, related to our 2012 Program, which consisted of severance and related costs for the reduction of approximately 1,060 positions, lease cancellation costs, and asset impairment charges. No employees impacted by the 2012 Program remained employed with us as of December 28, 2013. 2011 Actions In 2011, we recorded approximately $45 million in restructuring charges, net of reversals, for discontinued operations, consisting of severance and related costs for the reduction of approximately 910 positions, asset impairment charges, and lease cancellation costs. No employees impacted by these actions remained employed with us as of December 29, 2012. including charges Accruals for severance and related costs and lease and other contract cancellation costs were included in ‘‘Other accrued liabilities’’ in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2) Included $12.1 million and $11.2 million of expense related to the accrual of U.S. taxes on certain foreign earnings for 2013 and 2012, respectively. For 2011, there was no such accrual. Income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes from our U.S. and international operations was as follows: also retroactively extended the controlled foreign corporation (‘‘CFC’’) look-through rule that had expired on December 31, 2011. For periods in which the look-though rule is effective, certain dividends, interest, rents, and royalties received or accrued by a CFC of a U.S. multinational enterprise from a related CFC are excluded from U.S. federal income tax. The retroactive effect of the extension of the CFC look-through rule did not have a material impact on our effective tax rate or operating results after taking into consideration tax accruals related to our repatriation assertions. The extensions of the CFC look-through rule and the research and development credit expired on December 31, 2013. Deferred income taxes have not been provided on approximately $2.1 billion of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of December 28, 2013 since these amounts are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. It is not practicable to calculate the deferred taxes associated with these earnings because of the variability of multiple factors that would need to be assessed at the time of any assumed repatriation; however, foreign tax credits would likely be available to reduce federal income taxes in the event of distribution. In making this assertion, we evaluate, among other factors, the profitability of our U.S. and foreign operations and the need for cash within and outside the U.S., including cash requirements for capital improvements, acquisitions, market expansion, and stock repurchase programs. Deferred income taxes reflect the temporary differences between the amounts at which assets and liabilities are recorded for financial reporting purposes and the amounts utilized for tax purposes. The primary components of the temporary differences that gave rise to our deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows: (In millions) U.S. International 2013 2012 2011 (In millions) $ (36.2) 399.3 $(125.7) 363.3 $ (81.8) 295.0 Income from continuing operations before taxes $363.1 $ 237.6 $213.2 The effective tax rate for continuing operations was 32.7%, 33.7%, and 33.5% for fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The 2013 effective tax rate for continuing operations reflected $11 million of benefit for adjustments to federal income tax, primarily due to the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (‘‘ATRA’’), and $18.8 million of net expense on changes in certain tax reserves and valuation allowances. Additionally, the effective tax rate for 2013 reflected a benefit of $11.2 million from favorable tax rates on certain earnings from our operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world, offset by $12.1 million of expense related to the accrual of U.S. taxes on certain foreign earnings. The 2012 effective tax rate for continuing operations reflected $6.2 million of benefit from the release of a valuation allowance on certain state tax credits and $11.2 million of expense related to the accrual of U.S. taxes on certain foreign earnings. Additionally, the effective tax rate for 2012 was negatively impacted by approximately $5 million from the statutory expiration of federal research and development tax credits on December 31, 2011. The 2011 effective tax rate for continuing operations reflected $7 million of expense for increases in valuation allowances and $2.8 million of expense from the settlement of foreign tax audits. On January 2, 2013, ATRA was enacted, retrospectively extending the federal research and development credit for amounts paid or incurred after December 31, 2011 and before January 1, 2014. The retroactive effects were recognized in the first quarter of 2013.

The revision was immaterial having no impact on total net deferred tax assets but resulted in a decrease of $33.4 million, $27.9 million, and $5.5 million in net operating losses, valuation allowance, and other liabilities, respectively. (2) Reflect gross amounts before jurisdictional netting of deferred tax assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 was $59 million and $69.3 million, respectively. In 2013, we recognized $4.3 million as a tax benefit in continuing operations with the remaining $6 million primarily impacting discontinued operations. Net operating loss carryforwards of foreign subsidiaries at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 were $1.06 billion and $1.14 billion, respectively. If unused, foreign net operating losses of $42.8 million would expire between 2014 and 2017, and $77.5 million would expire after 2017. Net operating losses of $944.8 million can be carried forward indefinitely. Based on current projections, certain indefinite-lived foreign net operating losses may take approximately 50 years to be fully utilized. Tax credit carryforwards of both domestic and foreign subsidiaries at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 totaled $129.2 million and $118 million, respectively. If unused, tax credit carryforwards of $3.4 million would expire between 2014 and 2016, $87.2 million would expire between 2017 and 2021, and $30.1 million would expire after 2021. Tax credit carryforwards of $8.5 million can be carried forward indefinitely. With the expiration of our tax holiday in Bangladesh during 2013, tax holidays did not have a material effect on our 2013 results. We do not anticipate the expected expiration of our remaining tax holidays in Thailand and Vietnam between 2014 and 2016 to have a material effect on our effective tax rate, operating results, or financial condition. Unrecognized Tax Benefits As of December 28, 2013, our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $137.2 million, $96.7 million of which, if recognized, would reduce the annual effective income tax rate. As of December 29, 2012, our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $121.6 million, $82.8 million of which, if recognized, would reduce the annual effective income tax rate. Where applicable, we recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits from our global operations in income tax expense. We recognized expense of $2.7 million, $5.5 million, and $2.7 million in the Consolidated Statements of Income in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. We have accrued $29.2 million and $29.1 million for interest and penalties, net of tax benefit, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is set forth below: (In millions) Balance at beginning of year Additions based on tax positions related to the current year Additions for tax positions of prior years Reductions for tax positions of prior years: Changes in judgment Settlements Lapses and statute expirations Changes due to translation of foreign currencies 2013 2012 $121.6 $120.3 20.1 8.3 (4.0) (2.6) (6.2) – 15.7 .6 (5.6) (2.3) (4.4) (2.7) Balance at end of year $137.2 $121.6 The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by taxing jurisdictions around the world. Our estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to our assessment of relevant risks, facts, and circumstances existing at that time. We believe that we have adequately provided for reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to these matters. However, our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made or resolved, which may impact Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements our effective tax rate. As of the date the 2013 financial statements are being issued, we and our U.S. subsidiaries have completed the Internal Revenue Service’s Compliance Assurance Process Program through 2012. We are subject to routine tax examinations in other jurisdictions. With a few exceptions, we are no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2006. It is reasonably possible that, during the next 12 months, we may realize a decrease in our uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, of approximately $20 million, primarily as a result of closing tax years. NOTE 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION The accounting policies of the segments are described in Note 1, ‘‘Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.’’ Intersegment sales are recorded at or near market prices and are eliminated in determining consolidated sales. We evaluate performance based on income from operations before interest expense and taxes. General corporate expenses are also excluded from the computation of income from operations for the segments. We do not disclose total assets by reportable segment since we do not produce and review such information internally. We do not disclose revenues from external customers for each product because it is impracticable to do so. As our reporting structure is not organized or reviewed internally by country, results by individual country are not provided.

Derivatives measured based on inputs that are readily available in public markets are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements During 2013, long-lived assets with carrying amounts totaling $8.3 million were written down to their fair value of $4.8 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $3.5 million, which was included in ‘‘Other expense, net’’ in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The fair value was based on the sale price of the assets, less estimated broker fees, which are primarily Level 3 inputs. 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 during 2011, which was included in ‘‘Other expense, net’’ in the 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. These assets were in both reportable segments and other specialty converting businesses. 62 STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated financial statements and accompanying information were prepared by and are the responsibility of management. The statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, as such, include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Oversight of management’s financial reporting and internal accounting control responsibilities is exercised by the Board of Directors, through the Audit Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors. The Committee meets periodically with financial management, internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm to obtain reasonable assurance that each is meeting its responsibilities and to discuss matters concerning auditing, internal accounting control and financial reporting. The independent registered public accounting firm and our internal audit department have free access to meet with the Audit Committee without management’s presence. MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) or 15(d)-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992), management has concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 28, 2013. Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2013 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein. 27FEB201323543803 Dean A. Scarborough Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer 27FEB201323550060 Mitchell R. Butier Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer 63 Avery Dennison Corporation 2013 Annual Report Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF AVERY DENNISON CORPORATION: In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Avery Dennison Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 28, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 28, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
