Performance last year

done by comparing the return (profit) to a company's available
funds,
assets
and
capital.
- Whilst Avery Dennison has efficiently used shareholders’ funds last year (Return on Equity greater than 20%), this is metric is skewed due to its high level of debt.
- Avery Dennison used its assets more efficiently than the US Packaging industry average last year based on Return on Assets.
- Avery Dennison has significantly improved its use of capital last year versus 3 years ago (Return on Capital Employed).
Past performance checks
We assess Avery Dennison's performance over the past 5 years by checking for:- Has earnings increased in past 5 years? (1 check)
- Has the earnings growth in the last year exceeded that of the Packaging industry? (1 check)
- Is the recent earnings growth over the last year higher than the average annual growth over the past 5 years? (1 check)
- Is the Return on Equity (ROE) higher than 20%? (1 check)
- Is the Return on Assets (ROA) above industry average? (1 check)
- Has the Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) increased from 3 years ago? (1 check)

- Avery Dennison is able to meet its short term (1 year) commitments with its holdings of cash and other short term assets.

Balance sheet
Assets
Liabilities and shares
- High level of physical assets or inventory.

Historical Debt
Nearly all companies have debt. Debt in itself isn’t
bad,
however if the debt is too high, or the company can’t afford to pay the interest
on its debts this may have impacts in the future.The graphic below shows equity (available funds) and debt, we ideally want to see the red area (debt) decreasing.
If there is any debt we look at the companies capability to repay it, and whether the level has increased over the past 5 years.
