RPM International Inc., a leader in specialty coatings, sealants, and building materials, has announced record financial results for its fiscal year 2025, ending May 31. The company reported net sales of $2.08 billion, marking a 3.7% increase from the previous year's $2.01 billion. Net income attributable to RPM stockholders rose by 25% to $225.8 million, compared to $180.6 million in the prior year. Diluted earnings per share $(EPS)$ increased from $1.40 to $1.76, reflecting a 25.7% growth. For the full fiscal year, RPM reported net income attributable to stockholders of $688.7 million, up 17% from $588.4 million in the previous year. The diluted EPS for the full year saw a 17.3% increase, reaching $5.35 from $4.56. The company's income before income taxes $(IBT.UK)$ for the year was $792.8 million, showing a slight increase of 0.6% from $787.8 million in the previous year. The record sales were driven by the company's strategic focus on turnkey solutions for high-performance buildings, although some softness was noted in the DIY and specialty OEM markets. Looking ahead to the fiscal 2026 first quarter, RPM expects consolidated sales to grow in the low- to mid-single-digit percentage range, with similar growth across its segments. The Consumer segment is anticipated to perform slightly better, bolstered by the acquisitions of The Pink Stuff and Ready Seal. Additionally, RPM forecasts a low- to mid-single-digit percentage increase in consolidated adjusted EBIT compared to the previous year's record results.
