RPM International Inc. (NYSE: RPM), a world leader in specialty coatings, sealants and building materials, today reported record financial results for its fiscal 2025 second quarter ended November 30, 2024.
Frank C. Sullivan, RPM chairman and CEO commented, “Across our businesses, RPM associates demonstrated their ability to capitalize on growth opportunities in a mixed economic environment, leading to all four of our segments generating positive volume during the second quarter, as well as record consolidated sales. The momentum of our MAP 2025 operating improvement initiatives also continued, including the hard work to streamline SG&A expenses. The combination of these efforts resulted in all segments growing adjusted EBIT to achieve record consolidated second-quarter adjusted EBIT for the 12th consecutive quarter, record adjusted EBIT margin, and continued strength in operating cash flow.”
He added, “Our Construction Products and Performance Coatings Groups continued generating good growth as they leveraged their focus on repair and maintenance and their technical products to serve high-performance construction projects. In our Consumer and Specialty Products Groups, sales grew as they expanded market share, residential end markets showed signs of stabilization, and weather conditions were favorable for most of the quarter.”

See tables below titled Supplemental Segment Information and Reconciliation of Reported to Adjusted Amounts for details.Sales growth was driven by higher volumes in all four segments as businesses leveraged their focus on repair and maintenance and capitalized on targeted organic growth opportunities. Businesses serving high-performance construction projects with technical solutions performed particularly well. Those serving residential end markets exhibited signs of stabilization and were aided by favorable weather.
Geographically, sales growth was generally solid across North American businesses and was mixed elsewhere. In Europe, MAP 2025 initiatives resulted in significantly improved profitability. Africa / Middle East generated strong organic growth driven by demand from high-performance construction and infrastructure projects, while Latin American sales declined due to foreign currency translation. Asia / Pacific sales declined due to challenging comparisons in the prior year when a large project was completed.
Sales included 3.7% organic growth, a 0.1% decline from divestitures net of acquisitions, and a 0.6% decline from foreign currency translation.
Adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBIT margin were second-quarter records, driven by MAP 2025 initiatives, improved sales and structural SG&A streamlining, which resulted in SG&A decreasing as a percentage of sales, partially offset by unfavorable mix. The commodity cycle was neutral during the quarter, and included pockets of inflation, particularly in the Consumer Group. Adjusted EBIT includes the negative impact of a $4.4 million bad debt expense from a Consumer Group customer bankruptcy.
Adjusted diluted EPS was a record, driven by adjusted EBIT growth, and strong cash flow, which resulted in $226.5 million in debt paydowns over the prior 12 months and lower interest expense.

Customer inventory levels were generally steady during the quarter. The rationalization of lower margin products was a drag on sales, while strong growth continued in international markets due to targeted marketing campaigns.
Sales included 2.7% organic growth and a 0.7% decline from foreign currency translation.
Adjusted EBIT was a record, driven by MAP 2025 benefits, sales growth and the rationalization of lower-margin products, partially offset by $4.4 million in bad debt expense from a retail customer bankruptcy, and raw material and labor inflation.

Business Outlook
“We remain focused on things within our control in a mixed economic environment. These include leveraging our competitive strengths to outgrow our markets and implementing MAP 2025 initiatives. So far in the third quarter, the progress we are making in these areas is being offset by end market pressure caused by winter weather that is meaningfully harsher than the prior year. Overall, we anticipate sales and adjusted EBIT will be similar to the prior year in what is our seasonally slowest quarter. Construction Products and Performance Coatings Groups continue to execute well with their focus on high performance buildings, and maintenance and restoration projects. In our Consumer and Specialty Products Groups, stubbornly elevated mortgage rates and the unfavorable weather conditions have put pressure on sales in these segments,” Sullivan concluded.
The company expects the following in the fiscal 2025 third quarter:

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement the financial information presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) in this earnings release, we use EBIT, adjusted EBIT and adjusted earnings per share, which are all non-GAAP financial measures. EBIT is defined as earnings (loss) before interest and taxes, with adjusted EBIT and adjusted earnings per share provided for the purpose of adjusting for one-off items impacting revenues and/or expenses that are not considered by management to be indicative of ongoing operations. We evaluate the profit performance of our segments based on income before income taxes, but also look to EBIT as a performance evaluation measure because interest income (expense), net is essentially related to corporate functions, as opposed to segment operations. For that reason, we believe EBIT is also useful to investors as a metric in their investment decisions. EBIT should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, income before income taxes as determined in accordance with GAAP, since EBIT omits the impact of interest and investment income or expense in determining operating performance, which represent items necessary to our continued operations, given our level of indebtedness. Nonetheless, EBIT is a key measure expected by and useful to our fixed income investors, rating agencies and the banking community all of whom believe, and we concur, that this measure is critical to the capital markets’ analysis of our segments’ core operating performance. We also evaluate EBIT because it is clear that movements in EBIT impact our ability to attract financing. Our underwriters and bankers consistently require inclusion of this measure in offering memoranda in conjunction with any debt underwriting or bank financing. EBIT may not be indicative of our historical operating results, nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. See the financial statement section of this earnings release for a reconciliation of EBIT and adjusted EBIT to income before income taxes, and adjusted earnings per share to earnings per share. We have not provided a reconciliation of our third-quarter fiscal 2025 or full-year fiscal 2025 adjusted EBIT guidance because material terms that impact such measure are not in our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and therefore a reconciliation of such measure is not available without unreasonable effort.
Use of Key Performance Indicator Metric
To supplement the financial information presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) in this earnings release, we use the key performance indicator (“KPI”) metric of operating working capital as a percentage of sales, which is defined as the net amount of net trade accounts receivable plus inventories less accounts payable, all divided by trailing twelve-month net sales. We evaluate the working capital investment needs of our business to support current operations as well as future changes in business activity. For that reason, we believe operating working capital as a percentage of sales is also useful to investors as a metric in their investment decisions.

(a) The presentation includes a reconciliation of Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes, a measure defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (GAAP), to EBIT and Adjusted EBIT. (b) Interest Income (Expense), Net includes the combination of Interest Income (Expense) and Investment Income (Expense), Net. (c) EBIT is defined as earnings (loss) before interest and taxes, with Adjusted EBIT provided for the purpose of adjusting for items impacting earnings that are not considered by management to be indicative of ongoing operations. We evaluate the profit performance of our segments based on income before income taxes, but also look to EBIT, or adjusted EBIT, as a performance evaluation measure because Interest Income (Expense), Net is essentially related to corporate functions, as opposed to segment operations. For that reason, we believe EBIT is also useful to investors as a metric in their investment decisions.

Our underwriters and bankers consistently require inclusion of this measure in offering memoranda in conjunction with any debt underwriting or bank financing. EBIT may not be indicative of our historical operating results, nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. (d) Reflects restructuring and other charges, which have been incurred in relation to our Margin Acceleration Plan ("MAP to Growth") and our Margin Achievement Plan ("MAP 2025"), together MAP initiatives, as follows:- Restructuring and other related expense, net: Includes charges incurred related to headcount reductions, facility closures and asset impairments recorded in "Restructuring Expense" on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Restructuring Expense totaled $7.6 million and $1.2 million for the quarters ended November 30, 2024 and November 30, 2023 respectively, and $14.8 million and $7.7 million for the six months ended November 30, 2024 and November 30, 2023 respectively. Other related expenses include inventory write-offs in connection with restructuring activities recorded in "Cost of Sales", accelerated depreciation and amortization recorded within "Cost of Sales" or "Selling, General, & Administrative Expenses ("SG&A")" depending on the nature of the expense as well as the prior year loss on sale and increase in our allowance for doubtful accounts resulting from of the divestiture of the non-core Universal Sealant’s Bridgecare service business within our PCG segment.- Exited product lines: Sale of inventory that had previously been reserved for as a result of prior product line rationalization initiatives at PCG partially offset by inventory write-offs related to the discontinuation of certain product lines within our SPG segment. These amounts resulted from ongoing product line rationalization efforts in connection with our MAP initiatives.- ERP consolidation plan: Includes expenses incurred as a result of our stated goals to consolidate over 75 ERP systems across the organization to four ERP platforms, one per segment, as part of our overall MAP strategy as well as costs incurred for other decision support tools to facilitate our commercial initiatives related to MAP 2025 which have been incurred in all segments, including Corporate/Other, and have been recorded within "SG&A".- Professional fees: Includes expenses incurred to consolidate accounting locations, costs incurred to implement technologies and processes to drive improved sales mix and salesforce effectiveness and cost incurred to implement new global manufacturing methodologies with the goal of improving operating efficiency incurred within all of our segments and recorded within "SG&A". All of this spend is in support of stated MAP goals with the most significant expense incurred within our Corporate/Other segment.Included below is a reconciliation of the TOTAL CONSOLIDATED MAP initiatives.
