Supply Chain Financing

NOTE 14 — SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCING

During the fourth quarter of 2024, we began offering a supplier finance program with a financial institution, in which suppliers may elect to receive early payment from the financial institution on invoices issued to RPM. The financial institution enters into separate arrangements with suppliers directly to participate in the program. We do not determine the terms or conditions of such arrangements or participate in the transactions between the suppliers and the financial institution. There are no assets pledged by RPM under the supplier finance program. Our responsibility is limited to making payments to the financial institution based on payment terms originally negotiated with the suppliers, regardless of whether the financial institution pays the supplier in advance of the original due date. The range of payment terms RPM negotiates with suppliers are consistent, regardless of whether a supplier participates in the supply chain finance program. RPM or the financial institution may terminate participation in the program upon at least 30 days’ notice.

The total amount due to the financial institution to settle supplier invoices under the supply chain finance program was $22.9 million and $32.9 million as of November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024, respectively. These amounts are included within accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
