RPM International Inc., a global leader in specialty coatings, sealants, and building materials, has reported record financial results for its fiscal 2026 first quarter. The company operates across three main segments: consumer, construction products, and performance coatings, with a diverse portfolio of market-leading brands.
In its latest earnings report, RPM International announced a record first-quarter sales figure of $2.11 billion, marking a 7.4% increase compared to the previous year. The company also reported a net income of $227.6 million and a record EBIT of $314.0 million. The adjusted diluted EPS reached $1.88, a 2.2% increase over the prior year.
Key financial highlights include significant sales growth driven by systems and turnkey solutions for high-performance buildings, a strategic focus on repair and maintenance, and successful integration of acquisitions. Geographically, Europe led sales growth with a 20.7% increase, while North America saw a 5.9% rise. The company’s adjusted EBIT also reached a record high, supported by operational improvements and strategic acquisitions.
Looking ahead, RPM International anticipates mid-single-digit sales and adjusted EBIT growth for the second quarter of fiscal 2026. For the full fiscal year, the company expects sales to rise toward the higher end of its previously announced range, with adjusted EBIT increasing toward the lower end of its forecasted growth range.
RPM’s management remains optimistic about leveraging its competitive strengths in non-residential construction markets and growth investments to achieve record sales and adjusted EBIT in the upcoming quarters, despite challenges such as tariff-related inflation.
