Mitch Butier, chairman, president and CEO of Avery Dennison, said this about the earnings report.

In this environment, a key focus is protecting our profitability for the year, which we reported in the first half, with adjusted EBITDA margin above prior year.”
Avery Dennison doesn’t provide specific numbers for 2020 guidance. However, it expects earnings and revenue to decline in the second half of the year. That includes a 5% to 7% drop in revenue for the third quarter of 2020.
