RPM International Earnings Call Transcripts
Fiscal Year 2026
-
Record sales and earnings were achieved across all segments, driven by strong growth in construction and coatings, operational efficiencies, and strategic acquisitions. FY27 guidance calls for 3%-7% sales growth and 5%-10% adjusted EBITDA growth, with continued volatility expected from inflation and geopolitical factors.
-
Record Q3 sales and earnings driven by operational improvements, M&A, and strong performance in construction and coatings segments. Outlook remains positive despite geopolitical and inflationary headwinds, with continued focus on cost optimization and pricing actions.
-
Record Q2 sales were driven by acquisitions and high-performance building solutions, but margin pressure from higher SG&A and temporary inefficiencies led to declines in adjusted EBIT and EPS. SG&A optimization actions are underway, with $100 million in annual savings expected by fiscal 2027.
