RPM International, a global leader in specialty coatings, sealants, and building materials, has announced record third-quarter results for fiscal 2026, ending February 28, 2026.

The company reported third-quarter sales of $1.61 billion, up 8.9% from last year, with net income of $51.4 million and diluted EPS of $0.40. EBIT came in at $84.1 million.

Highlighting the quarter’s performance, RPM posted record adjusted diluted EPS of $0.57, a 62.9% increase from the prior year, and record adjusted EBIT of $116.4 million, up 48.8% year-over-year.

Chairman and CEO Frank C Sullivan said, “I am proud of our record third-quarter results. In a period of volatile market conditions, we generated volume growth and record sales by utilizing our competitive strengths and nimbly focusing on growing end markets.

"Aided by MAP operational improvement initiatives, we demonstrated our ability to combine growth with efficiency, leveraging higher volumes to expand margins across all segments and generating strong operating cash flow. I want to thank all RPM associates for their focused execution and commitment to the organization.”

Record sales were fueled by engineered solutions for high-performance buildings, acquisitions, and favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by soft DIY demand. A rebound from the government shutdown and favorable comparisons to last year, which faced harsh weather, also contributed.

Geographically, Europe led the growth with 20.1% increase, boosted by M&A activity and foreign exchange gains. North American sales rose 6.3%, driven by high-performance building solutions and acquisitions. Emerging markets saw broad-based growth, led by Africa and the Middle East, where infrastructure and high-performance building projects drove results.

Sales breakdown included 3.0% organic growth, 3.5% from acquisitions, and 2.4% from foreign currency translation.

Record adjusted EBIT reflected higher sales and improved fixed-cost leverage from increased volumes, aided by MAP operational initiatives, offsetting rising healthcare expenses.

RPM reaffirmed its fiscal 2026 fourth-quarter guidance, projecting mid-single-digit sales growth and low- to high-single-digit adjusted EBIT growth.
