Avery Dennison Ends ‘06 with a Strong Fourth Quarter

Net sales from continuing operations for the fourth quarter were $1.41 billion, up approximately 3.5 percent from $1.36 billion for the same quarter last year. Organic sales growth, which excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency translation, was approximately 2 percent. This increase was attributable to unit volume growth and positive changes in pricing and product mix.
