&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fiscal 2026 first-quarter outlook calls for low- to mid-single-digit sales and adjusted EBIT growth

MEDINA, OH – July 24, 2025 – RPM International Inc. (NYSE: RPM), a world leader in specialty coatings, sealants and building materials, today reported record financial results for its fiscal 2025 fourth quarter and full year ended May 31, 2025.

Frank C. Sullivan, RPM chairman and CEO commented, "By leveraging top-line growth with improved operating efficiency, we demonstrated the Power of RPM and generated record results for the fourth quarter and full year. Our ability to provide systems and turnkey solutions for high-performance buildings, as well as our focus on maintenance and restoration, resulted in solid organic growth in the fourth quarter. Aided by the continued implementation of MAP 2025 operating improvements and acquisitions, we generated double-digit consolidated adjusted EBIT growth during the quarter, with each segment increasing adjusted EBIT."

He added, "For the full fiscal year, we delivered record sales, adjusted EBIT and adjusted EPS, an accomplishment that we have achieved every year since we began MAP 2025. Importantly, in fiscal year 2025, we also generated record adjusted EBIT margins, despite a mixed economic environment. These results are a testament to the dedication and persistence of our associates."

Sullivan continued, "In an effort to continue building on this positive momentum, we are reorganizing into three segments—Construction Products Group, Performance Coatings Group and the Consumer Group. The former Specialty Products Group businesses have joined our other segments. This streamlined structure will allow our businesses to collaborate more closely to fuel revenue growth and leverage the cultural shift toward working together that has been enabled by MAP. It will also provide additional operating efficiencies, including reduced overhead, which is a hallmark of our MAP initiatives, to continue expanding margins. As we look forward, we are focused on accelerating growth to take full advantage of the operational improvements we've made over the past several years and realize the full Power of RPM."

The fourth-quarter sales increase was primarily driven by sales of systems and turnkey solutions to serve high-performance buildings, as well as products and services focused on maintenance and repair. Acquisitions also contributed to top-line growth.

Geographically, Europe led sales growth with an increase of 14.9%, fueled by high-performance coatings and acquisitions. In North America, a 2.7% sales increase was driven by demand for systems and turnkey solutions serving high-performance buildings. Sales were mixed in emerging markets, as growth in products serving infrastructure projects in Latin America was offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation and weak economic conditions in Asia. Africa / Middle East grew modestly after strong prior-year growth.

Sales included 2.0% organic growth, 2.0% growth from acquisitions net of divestitures, and a 0.3% decline from foreign currency translation.

Adjusted EBIT was a record, driven by organic sales growth, which leveraged MAP 2025 operational improvements, partially offset by transitory costs related to plant consolidations and start-ups, as well as raw material cost inflation. SG&A increased during the quarter, driven by higher M&A expenses, variable compensation related to the sale of technical products, and SG&A from acquired businesses. Additional SG&A streamlining actions were put in place during the quarter to help offset the increased expenses.

The adjusted diluted EPS increase was driven by the improvement in adjusted EBIT.

Record CPG sales were driven by systems and turnkey roofing solutions serving high-performance buildings. The growth was in addition to strong prior-year sales, which increased 6.6%.

Sales included 6.7% organic growth, 0.3% growth from acquisitions, and a 0.7% decline from foreign currency translation.

Adjusted EBIT was a record, and the increase was driven by MAP 2025 benefits and higher sales of engineered systems and services that expanded margins, partially offset by temporary inefficiencies from plant consolidations as production was being transferred.

Record PCG sales included strong demand for turnkey flooring solutions serving high-performance buildings and a double-digit increase in sales of fiberglass reinforced plastics structures, driven by demand from data centers. An acquisition also contributed to the sales increase.

Sales included 4.4% organic growth, a 5.0% increase from acquisitions net of divestitures, and a 0.2% decline from foreign currency translation.

Adjusted EBIT increased to a record as higher volumes improved fixed-cost leverage, which was aided by MAP 2025 operational improvement initiatives, and as sales mix improved.

Supplemental Segment Information for details.

The SPG sales increase included improved sales to specialty OEM markets, which showed signs of stabilization after a cyclical downturn. The food coatings and additives business generated strong sales growth, due in part to a prior acquisition. The fluorescent pigments and disaster restoration businesses experienced soft demand during the quarter.

Sales included flat organic growth, 1.7% growth from an acquisition, and a 0.2% benefit from foreign currency translation.

The adjusted EBIT increase was driven by MAP 2025 operational improvement initiatives. This was partially offset by a $2.5 million bad debt expense due to a customer bankruptcy and higher start-up expenses at the Resin Center of Excellence that SPG managed on behalf of all RPM segments.

EBIT includes $13.1 million of non-cash asset impairment charges primarily related to fluorescent pigments, which have been consolidated into the Consumer Group in fiscal year 2026 and have undergone overhead streamlining, and a $5.8 million charge for a legal settlement related to a business that was divested in fiscal year 2023. These charges have been excluded from adjusted EBIT.

The Consumer Group's sales decline was driven by softness in DIY markets and product rationalization, partially offset by new product introductions and the benefit of The Pink Stuff acquisition, which closed one month prior to the end of the fiscal quarter.

Sales included a 3.8% organic decline, 2.3% growth from acquisitions, and a 0.1% decline from foreign currency translation.

Supplemental Segment Information and Reconciliation of Reported to Adjusted Amounts for details.

Fiscal year 2025 sales were a record, driven by turnkey solutions for high-performance buildings, partially offset by soft market conditions in the DIY and specialty OEM markets.

Record adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBIT margin of 13.2% were driven by MAP 2025 benefits, partially offset by lower fixed-cost absorption. SG&A streamlining actions partially offset increased variable compensation, benefits and M&A expenses.

Fiscal year 2025 adjusted EPS was a record, driven by the adjusted EBIT growth, and lower interest expense as a portion of the strong operational cash flow was used to repay debt.

**Cash Flow and Financial Position** 

During fiscal 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash provided by operating activities was $768.2 million, the second highest amount in company history,
driven by working capital efficiency enabled by MAP 2025 initiatives. This compares to a record $1.12 billion in fiscal year 2024 when there was a large working capital release as supply chains normalized.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating working capital as a percentage of sales increased to 24.3% compared to 23.5% in fiscal year 2024,
driven by strategic purchases in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 to mitigate the future impact of tariffs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Capital expenditures were $229.9 million compared to $214.0 million during fiscal year 2024 with the
increase driven by investments in shared RPM facilities, including the Resin Center of Excellence and the newly opened distribution center in Belgium, as well as new production facilities in Malaysia and India, and MAP 2025-enabled plant
consolidations.

 *Page 6* 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The company returned $325.6 million to stockholders through cash dividends and share repurchases, an
increase of $38.7 million or 13.5% compared to the prior year.

As of May 31, 2025:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total debt was $2.65 billion compared to $2.13 billion a year ago, with the $519.5 million
increase driven by debt used to finance the acquisitions of The Pink Stuff, TMP Convert and other smaller companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total liquidity, including cash and committed revolving credit facilities, was $969.1 million, compared to
$1.36 billion a year ago, with the decrease driven by the use of the credit facilities to finance the acquisition of The Pink Stuff.

**Business Outlook** 

Sullivan added, "We continue to focus on what we control, which includes offering differentiated turnkey solutions and systems to high-performance building projects and improving our operational efficiency, including SG&A streamlining. Working capital released from MAP 2025 structural improvements has helped to fund several acquisitions, leading to RPM's largest M&A year in fiscal 2025. We will benefit as we integrate these businesses into RPM and leverage our competitive strengths to accelerate their future growth."

The company expects the following in full-year fiscal 2026:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Consolidated sales to increase in the low- to mid-single-digit range compared to prior-year record results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Consolidated adjusted EBIT to increase in the high-single- to low-double-digit percentage range compared to prior-year record results.

The company expects the following in the fiscal 2026 first quarter:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Consolidated sales to increase in the low- to mid-single-digit percentage range compared to prior-year results.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sales growth to be similar among the three segments, with Consumer slightly higher, driven by the acquisitions of
The Pink Stuff and Ready Seal.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Consolidated adjusted EBIT to be up in the low- to mid-single-digit percentage range compared to prior-year record results.

**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 first-quarter fiscal 2026 or full-year fiscal 2026 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.

These forward-looking statements, or other statements made by us, are made based on our expectations and beliefs concerning future events impacting us and are subject to uncertainties and factors (including those specified below), which are difficult to predict and, in many instances, are beyond our control.

(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. 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.

(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 $6.8 million and $15.9 million for the quarters ended May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2024 respectively, and $25.0 million and $30.0 million for the year ended May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2024 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. <br>

- 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 and were recorded in "Cost of Sales". <br>

- 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, as well as Corporate/Other, and have been recorded within "SG&A". <br>

- 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 Corporate/Other. <br>

Included below is a reconciliation of the TOTAL CONSOLIDATED MAP initiatives.

(e) Acquisition costs reflect amounts included in "Cost of Sales" for inventory step-ups.

(f) Reflects gains associated with post-closing adjustments for the sale of the non-core furniture warranty business in the SPG segment in fiscal 2023 which have been recorded in "SG&A". In addition to this, the prior year reflects the sale of a property within our Consumer
segment which has also been recorded in "SG&A".

(g) Business interruption insurance recovery at our Consumer segment related to lost sales and incremental costs
incurred during fiscal 2021 and 2022 as a result of an explosion at the plant of a significant alkyd resin supplier, which has been recorded in "SG&A".

(h) Represents incremental expense related to an adverse legal ruling from a case associated with a business that
was divested in fiscal 2023.

(i) Reflects $11.4 million of goodwill impairment recorded in "Goodwill Impairment" and
$1.7 million of intangible asset impairment recorded in "SG&A". Both charges are related to the Color Group reporting unit in our SPG Segment due to the continued softness in OEM markets and underperformance in our growth
initiatives associated with this reporting unit.

(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 $6.8 million and $15.9 million for the quarters ended May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2024 respectively, and $25.0 million and $30.0 million for the year ended May 31, 2025 and May 31, 2024 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. <br>

- 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 and were recorded in "Cost of Sales". <br>

- 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, as well as Corporate/Other, and have been recorded within "SG&A". <br>

- 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 Corporate/Other. <br>

(e) Acquisition costs reflect amounts included in "Cost of Sales" for inventory step-ups.

(f) Reflects gains associated with post-closing adjustments for the sale of the non-core furniture warranty business in the SPG segment in fiscal 2023 which have been recorded in "SG&A". In addition to this, the prior year reflects the sale of a property within our Consumer
segment which has also been recorded in "SG&A".

(g) Business interruption insurance recovery at our Consumer segment related to lost sales and incremental costs
incurred during fiscal 2021 and 2022 as a result of an explosion at the plant of a significant alkyd resin supplier, which has been recorded in "SG&A".

(h) Represents incremental expense related to an adverse legal ruling from a case associated with a business that
was divested in fiscal 2023. We strongly disagree with the legal ruling and have filed an appeal.

(i) Reflects $11.4 million of goodwill impairment recorded in "Goodwill Impairment" and
$1.7 million of intangible asset impairment recorded in "SG&A". Both charges are related to the Color Group reporting unit in our SPG Segment due to the continued softness in OEM markets and underperformance in our growth
initiatives associated with this reporting unit.

(j) Investment returns include realized net gains and losses on sales of investments and unrealized net gains and
losses on equity securities, which are adjusted due to their inherent volatility. Management does not consider these gains and losses, which cannot be predicted with any level of certainty, to be reflective of the Company's core business
operations.

(k) The adjustment for the current three-month period and year ended May 31, 2025, includes incremental
benefits of the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income and the foreign tax rate differential associated with certain global capital structure initiatives completed during the period. Additionally, the year-to-date adjustment includes adjustments to U.S. foreign tax credits recognized because of global cash redeployment and debt optimization projects, as well as other adjustments to our net deferred
tax asset related to U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards resulting from our reassessment of income tax positions following developments in U.S. income tax case law. For fiscal year 2024, the adjustment relates to income taxes associated with the
fiscal year 2023 sale of the furniture warranty business.

(l) Adjusted Diluted EPS is provided for the purpose of adjusting diluted earnings per share for items impacting
earnings that are not considered by management to be indicative of ongoing operations.
