NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — CONSOLIDATION, NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2024.

Our financial statements include all of our majority-owned subsidiaries. We account for our investments in less-than-majority-owned joint ventures, for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, under the equity method. Effects of transactions between related companies are eliminated in consolidation.

Noncontrolling interests are presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements as if parent company investors (controlling interests) and other minority investors (noncontrolling interests) in partially-owned subsidiaries have similar economic interests in a single entity. As a result, investments in noncontrolling interests are reported as equity in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, our Consolidated Financial Statements include 100% of a controlled subsidiary’s earnings, rather than only our share. Transactions between the parent company and noncontrolling interests are reported in equity as transactions between stockholders, provided that these transactions do not create a change in control.

Our business is dependent on external weather factors. Historically, we have experienced strong sales and net income in our first, second and fourth fiscal quarters comprising the three-month periods ending August 31, November 30, and May 31, respectively, with weaker performance in our third fiscal quarter (December through February).

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2022-04, "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50)," which is intended to establish disclosures that enhance the transparency of a supplier finance program used by an entity in connection with the purchase of goods and services. This guidance requires annual and interim disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supplier finance programs, the amount outstanding under such programs including where they are recorded on the balance sheet, and a roll-forward of the related obligations. The new standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of the supplier finance program obligations. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on roll-forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We adopted the new standard on June 1, 2023, on a retrospective basis other than the roll-forward guidance, which we plan to adopt on a prospective basis beginning with our fiscal 2025 annual financial statements. As of adoption on June 1, 2023, we did not have any material supplier finance program obligations; however, we began such an arrangement during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Refer to Note 14, “Supply Chain Financing,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

New Pronouncements Issued

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, " Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)." Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The standard provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. The standard requires, in the notes to the financial statements, disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses which includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which requires a public business entity to disclose specific categories in its annual effective tax rate reconciliation and disaggregated information about significant reconciling items by jurisdiction and by nature. The ASU also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments (net of refunds) to international, federal, and state and local jurisdictions. The guidance makes several other changes to income tax disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective or prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

9

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which expands disclosures about a public business entity's reportable segments and provides for more detailed information about a reportable segment's expenses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

NOTE 3 — RESTRUCTURING

We record restructuring charges associated with management-approved restructuring plans to either reorganize one or more of our business segments, or to remove duplicative headcount and infrastructure associated with our businesses. Restructuring charges can include severance costs to eliminate a specified number of associates, infrastructure charges to vacate facilities and consolidate operations, contract cancellation costs and other costs. We record the short-term portion of our restructuring liability in other accrued liabilities and the long-term portion, if any, in other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In August 2022, we approved and announced our Margin Achievement Plan 2025 (“MAP 2025”), which is a multi-year restructuring plan designed to improve margins by streamlining business processes, reducing working capital, implementing commercial initiatives to drive improved mix, pricing discipline and salesforce effectiveness and improving operating efficiency. Most activities under MAP 2025 are anticipated to be completed by the end of fiscal 2025; however, we expect some costs to extend beyond this date.

The current total expected costs associated with this plan are outlined below and increased approximately $3.1 million compared to our prior quarter estimate, attributable to increases in expected facility closure and other related costs of $2.7 million and increases in expected severance and benefit charges of $0.4 million. Throughout our MAP 2025 initiative, we will continue to assess and find areas of improvement and cost savings. As such, the final implementation of the aforementioned phases and total expected costs are subject to change.

USL Restructuring

During the quarter ended August 31, 2023, we recognized a loss on sale of $4.5 million in connection with the divestiture of USL’s Bridgecare services division. The Bridgecare division was a contracting business focused on the installation of joints and waterproofing in the UK. The loss on this sale was included in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income and net loss on sales of assets and businesses in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Additionally, during the quarter ended August 31, 2023, in connection with MAP 2025, we realigned certain businesses and management structures within our segments. Within our PCG segment, certain businesses of our USL reporting unit were transferred to our Fibergrate, Carboline and Stonhard reporting units. As a result of this change in our market strategy, we performed an interim impairment assessment of the USL indefinite-lived tradename. Calculating the fair value of the USL’s indefinite-lived tradename required the use of various estimates and assumptions. We estimated the fair value of USL’s indefinite-lived tradename by applying a relief-from-royalty calculation, which included discounted future cash flows related to projected revenues impacted by this decision. In applying this methodology, we relied on a number of factors, including actual and forecasted revenues and market data. As the carrying amount of the tradename exceeded its fair value, an impairment loss of $3.3 million was recorded for the three months ended August 31, 2023. This impairment loss was classified as restructuring expense within our PCG segment.

NOTE 4 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial instruments recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, marketable securities, notes and accounts payable, and debt.

An allowance for credit losses is established for trade accounts receivable using assessments of current creditworthiness of customers, historical collection experience, the aging of receivables and other currently available evidence. Trade accounts receivable balances are written-off against the allowance if a final determination of uncollectibility is made. All provisions for allowance for doubtful collection of accounts are included in SG&A expense.

The valuation techniques utilized for establishing the fair values of assets and liabilities are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value, as follows:

Level 1 Inputs — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 Inputs — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 Inputs — Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

The following tables present our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy.

(In thousands)	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Fair Value at February 28, 2025

Total	$	10,546	$	143,777	$	(2,229	)	$	152,094

Our investments in available-for-sale debt securities and marketable equity securities are valued using a market approach. The availability of inputs observable in the market varies from instrument to instrument and depends on a variety of factors, including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is actively traded and other characteristics particular to the transaction. For most of our financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely accepted by market participants, and the valuation does not require significant management discretion. For other financial instruments, pricing inputs are less observable in the market and may require management judgment.

The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of the additional variable cash consideration payable in connection with recent acquisitions that is contingent upon the achievement of certain performance milestones. We estimated the fair value using expected future cash flows over the period in which the obligation is expected to be settled which is considered to be a Level 3 input. During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, we paid approximately $2.2 million to satisfy contingent consideration obligations relating to certain performance milestones that were established in prior periods and achieved during the current year. During the first nine months of fiscal 2024, we paid approximately $1.1 million to satisfy contingent consideration obligations relating to certain performance milestones that were established in prior periods and achieved during fiscal 2024. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, payments of acquisition-related contingent consideration for the amount recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date are reported in cash flows from financing activities, while payments of contingent consideration in excess of fair value as of the acquisition date, are reported in cash flows from operating activities within other accrued liabilities.

The carrying value of our current financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. At February 28, 2025 and May 31, 2024, the fair value of our long-term debt was estimated using active market quotes, based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, which are Level 2 inputs. Based on the analysis performed, the fair value and the carrying value of our long-term debt as of February 28, 2025 and May 31, 2024 is as follows:

	At February 28, 2025
(In thousands)	Carrying Value		Fair Value
Long-term debt, including current portion	$	2,097,239	$	2,008,677

NOTE 7 — INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax benefit rate of (27.7%) for the three months ended February 28, 2025 compares to the effective income tax rate of 26.4% for the three months ended February 29, 2024. The effective tax rate of 14.7% for the nine months ended February 28, 2025 compares to the effective income tax rate of 25.5% for the nine months ended February 29, 2024.

The effective income tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods reflect variances from the 21% statutory rate due to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, non-deductible business expenses, and the net tax on foreign subsidiary income resulting from the global intangible low-taxed income provisions, partially offset by tax benefits related to equity compensation and foreign tax credits.

Additionally, the effective tax rate for the current three- and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2025, reflect adjustments made to our deferred income taxes. During the current quarter we recorded a $22.1 million favorable adjustment for the reversal of valuation allowances on U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards. This adjustment was based on our current estimate of the deferred tax assets for these credits that we expect to realize during the carryforward period. Further, during the nine-month period we reassessed certain of our income tax positions following developments in U.S. income tax case law. During the second quarter ended November 30, 2024, based on our analysis and interpretations at that time, we recorded a net favorable income tax adjustment of $21.8 million which reflected an increase in our deferred income tax assets for U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards. The effective income tax rate for the nine-month period also reflects a favorable adjustment recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 for incremental U.S. foreign tax credits associated with a distribution of historic foreign earnings that were previously not considered to be permanently reinvested. The distribution of such earnings was done in conjunction with the execution of global cash redeployment and debt optimization projects.

Our deferred tax liability for unremitted foreign earnings was adjusted to $4.1 million as of May 31, 2024. The $4.1 million represented our estimate of the net tax cost of remitting $285.6 million of foreign earnings that were not considered to be permanently reinvested. As of February 28, 2025, the amount of these earnings has changed to $154.2 million and we no longer have a tax liability associated with remitting these earnings. The reduction to the earnings amounts no longer permanently reinvested is due principally to distributions of such earnings during the year. We have not provided for foreign withholding or income taxes on the remaining foreign subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings because such earnings have been retained and reinvested by the subsidiaries as of February 28, 2025. Accordingly, no provision has been made for foreign withholding or income taxes, which may become payable if the remaining undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries were remitted to us as dividends.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has proposed a framework comprised of rules and models, collectively referred to as Pillar Two (“P2”), that are designed to ensure that certain multi-national enterprises pay a minimum tax rate of 15% on reported profits arising in each jurisdiction where they operate. Although the OECD provided a framework for applying the minimum tax, individual countries have and may continue to enact P2 rules that are different than the OECD framework. While we continue to monitor P2 developments, we do not anticipate that P2 will have a material impact on our long-term financial position.

NOTE 9 — STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On January 8, 2008, we announced our authorization of a stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase shares of RPM International Inc. common stock at management’s discretion. As announced on November 28, 2018, our goal was to return $1.0 billion in capital to stockholders by May 31, 2021 through share repurchases and the retirement of our convertible note during fiscal 2019. On April 16, 2019, after taking into account share repurchases under our existing stock repurchase program to date, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of the remaining $600.0 million in value of RPM International Inc. common stock by May 31, 2021.

As previously announced, given macroeconomic uncertainty resulting from the Covid pandemic, we had suspended stock repurchases under the program, but in January 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the resumption of the stock repurchases. At the time of resuming the program, $469.7 million of shares of common stock remained available for repurchase. The Board of Directors also extended the stock repurchase program beyond its original May 31, 2021 expiration date until such time that the remaining $469.7 million of capital has been returned to our stockholders.

As a result, we may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market or in private transactions at various times and in amounts and for prices that our management deems appropriate, subject to insider trading rules and other securities law restrictions. The timing of our purchases will depend upon prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors. We may limit or terminate the repurchase program at any time.

During the three months ended February 28, 2025, we repurchased 142,864 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $17.5 million, or an average of $122.49 per share, under this program. During the three months ended February 29, 2024, we repurchased 114,588 shares of our common stock at a cost of $12.5 million, or an average of $108.98 per share, under this program. During the nine months ended February 28, 2025, we repurchased 423,879 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $52.5 million, or an average of $123.86 per share, under this program. During the nine months ended February 29, 2024, we repurchased 368,871 shares of our common stock at a cost of $37.5 million, or an average of $101.63 per share, under this program. The maximum dollar amount that may yet be repurchased under our stock repurchase program was approximately $209.8 million at February 28, 2025.

(1) The dilutive effect of performance-based restricted stock units is included when they have met minimum performance thresholds. The dilutive effect of SARs includes all outstanding awards except awards that are considered antidilutive. SARs are antidilutive when the exercise price exceeds the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the periods presented. For the three and nine months ended February 28, 2025, approximately 190,000 and 170,000 shares of stock, respectively, granted under stock-based compensation plans were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, approximately 300,000 and 250,000 shares of stock, respectively, granted under stock-based compensation plans were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

19

Net periodic pension cost for fiscal 2025 is less than our fiscal 2024 cost due to an increase in expected return on plan assets and a reduction in the amortization of the net actuarial loss to be recognized. We expect that pension expense will fluctuate on a year-to-year basis, depending upon the investment performance of plan assets and potential changes in interest rates, and these fluctuations may have a material impact on our consolidated financial results in the future. We previously disclosed in our financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 that we are required and expect to contribute approximately $5.9 million to plans outside the U.S. during the current fiscal year and we will evaluate whether to make additional contributions to plans in the U.S. and outside the U.S. throughout fiscal 2025. As a result of our evaluation, we contributed $45.5 million to the main pension plan in the U.S. during the current quarter, which will increase our total expected U.S. contributions to $45.5 million during fiscal year 2025.

NOTE 13 — CONTINGENCIES AND ACCRUED LOSSES

Product Liability Matters

We provide, through our wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries, certain insurance coverage, primarily product liability coverage, to our other subsidiaries. Excess coverage is provided by third-party insurers. Our product liability accruals provide for these potential losses as well as other uninsured claims. Product liability accruals are established based upon actuarial calculations of potential liability using industry experience, actual historical experience and actuarial assumptions developed for similar types of product liability claims, including development factors and lag times. To the extent there is a reasonable possibility that potential losses could exceed the amounts already accrued, we believe that the amount of any such additional loss would be immaterial to our results of operations, liquidity and consolidated financial position.

Warranty Matters

We also offer warranties on many of our products, as well as long-term warranty programs at certain of our businesses, and have established product warranty liabilities. We review these liabilities for adequacy on a quarterly basis and adjust them as necessary. The primary factors that could affect these liabilities may include changes in performance rates as well as costs of replacement. Provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale and periodically adjusted, as required, to reflect actual experience. It is probable that we will incur future losses related to warranty claims we have received but that have not been fully investigated and related to claims not yet received. While our warranty liabilities represent our best estimates at February 28, 2025, we can provide no assurances that we will not experience material claims in the future or that we will not incur significant costs to resolve such claims beyond the amounts accrued or beyond what we may recover from our suppliers. Based upon the nature of the expense, product warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of sales or within SG&A.

Also, due to the nature of our businesses, the amount of claims paid can fluctuate from one period to the next. While our warranty liabilities represent our best estimates of our expected losses at any given time, from time-to-time we may revise our estimates based on our experience relating to factors such as weather conditions, specific circumstances surrounding product installations and other factors.

The following table includes the changes in our accrued warranty balances:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	February 28,			February 29,			February 28,			February 29,
(In thousands)	2025			2024			2025			2024

Ending Balance	$	12,095		$	12,469		$	12,095		$	12,469

(1) Primarily claims paid during the period.

Environmental Matters

Like other companies participating in similar lines of business, some of our subsidiaries are involved in environmental remediation matters. It is our policy to accrue remediation costs when the liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable, which generally is not later than at completion of a feasibility study or when we have committed to an appropriate plan of action. We also take into consideration the estimated period of time over which payments may be required. The liabilities are reviewed periodically and, as investigation and remediation activities continue, adjustments are made as necessary. Liabilities for losses from environmental remediation obligations do not consider the effects of inflation and anticipated expenditures are not discounted to their present value. The liabilities are not offset by possible recoveries from insurance carriers or other third parties but do reflect anticipated allocations among potentially responsible parties at federal superfund sites or similar state-managed sites, third-party indemnity obligations, and an assessment of the likelihood that such parties will fulfill their obligations at such sites.

20

On December 19, 2024, a subsidiary in our Consumer segment received informal notification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") of the EPA's intent to issue a civil penalty for alleged violation of the Toxic Substances Control Act Section 6 regulatory standard related to 2021 sales of a consumer product allegedly containing a regulated substance. The EPA provided an initial proposed penalty calculation on January 14, 2025, which totaled approximately $6.2 million. We are disputing this proposed penalty and believe that it is unwarranted under the circumstances. Based on information currently known, we are not able to estimate the outcome of this matter or a possible range of loss, if any.

Other Contingencies

One of our former subsidiaries in our SPG reportable segment has been the subject of a proceeding in which one of its former distributors brought suit against the subsidiary for breach of contract. Following a June 2017 trial, a jury determined that the distributor was not entitled to any damages on the distributor’s claims. On appeal, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered a new trial with respect to certain issues. On December 10, 2021, a new jury awarded $6.0 million in damages to the distributor. Per the parties’ contracts, the distributor was also entitled to seek recovery of some portion of its attorneys’ fees and costs. On November 15, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California issued an order awarding the distributor approximately $4.4 million in connection with attorney's fees and costs the distributor allegedly incurred throughout the duration of this legal action. As a result of this order, we increased our accrual to $10.4 million as of November 30, 2023. On December 27, 2023, we paid the $6.0 million judgment, and then decreased our accrual to approximately $4.4 million. We appealed the District Court's order awarding attorneys’ fees and costs to the distributor to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. On January 21, 2025, the Ninth Circuit reversed in part and affirmed in part the District Court’s order awarding attorneys’ fees and costs. As a result, we paid the distributor $4.6 million, which resulted in a reduction of our accrual to zero, and recording $0.2 million of expense for the period ending February 28, 2025.

One of our subsidiaries in our Consumer reportable segment has been the subject of a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon in which a former supplier of that subsidiary alleged that the subsidiary breached certain contractual obligations, misappropriated trade secrets, and committed fraud in connection with an Exclusive Sales Agreement and a Mutual Settlement Agreement and Release executed in November 2015 and 2017, respectively. Our subsidiary denied, and continues to deny, these allegations.

A jury trial commenced in this matter on September 17, 2024. On September 27, 2024, the jury rendered a verdict against our subsidiary for $190.0 million, consisting of both compensatory and punitive damages. We filed an objection to the former supplier’s proposed form of judgment seeking a reduction or elimination of certain damages included in the jury’s verdict. On January 28, 2025, the District Court reduced the compensatory and punitive damages award by $79.2 million. On February 28, 2025, the District Court entered judgment in the amount of $110.8 million, consisting of both compensatory and punitive damages, plus prejudgment interest applicable to the compensatory damages in the amount of 9.0% per annum beginning on August 1, 2018. We believe that the jury verdict is not supported by the facts of the case or applicable law, is the result of significant trial error, and there are strong grounds for appeal. We intend to vigorously challenge the verdict and judgment through appropriate post-trial motions and appellate processes.

As a result, we believe that the likelihood that the amount of the judgment will be affirmed is not probable. We currently estimate a range of possible outcomes between approximately $0.5 million and $150.0 million, which is inclusive of the prejudgment interest awarded, and we accrued a liability as of August 31, 2024, at the low end of the range, as no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. This amount is reflected in accrued losses, and selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine-month period ended February 28, 2025. The ultimate loss to the Company with respect to the litigation matter could be materially different from the amount the Company has accrued. The Company cannot predict or estimate the duration or ultimate outcome of this matter.

Gain on Business Interruption Insurance

In April 2021, there was a significant plant explosion at a key alkyd resin supplier which caused severe supply chain disruptions. As a result of this disruption, the Consumer segment incurred incremental costs and lost sales during fiscal 2021 and 2022. A claim for these losses was submitted under our business interruption insurance policy. The Consumer segment recovered $10.3 million from insurance during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and $0.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. These proceeds were recorded as a gain of $11.1 million for the nine-month period ending February 29, 2024. No such proceeds were received during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 or the three-month period ending February 29, 2024. The insurance gains are recorded as a reduction to SG&A expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income, and the proceeds are included within cash flows from operating activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

21

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 $24.3 million and $32.9 million as of February 28, 2025 and May 31, 2024, respectively. These amounts are included within accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 15 — REVENUE

We operate a portfolio of businesses that manufacture and sell a variety of product lines that include specialty paints, protective coatings, roofing systems, sealants and adhesives, among other things. We disaggregate revenues from the sales of our products and services based upon geographical location by each of our reportable segments, which are aligned by similar economic factors, trends and customers, which best depict the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. See Note 16, “Segment Information,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding our disaggregated revenues, as well as a description of each of the unique revenue streams related to each of our four reportable segments.

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. The majority of our revenue is recognized at a point in time. However, we also record revenues generated under construction contracts, mainly in connection with the installation of specialized roofing and flooring systems and related services. For certain polymer flooring installation projects, we account for our revenue using the output method, as we consider square footage of completed flooring to be the best measure of progress toward the complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. In contrast, for certain of our roofing installation projects, we account for our revenue using the input method, as that method is the best measure of performance as it considers costs incurred in relation to total expected project costs, which essentially represents the transfer of control for roofing systems to the customer. In general, for our construction contracts, we record contract revenues and related costs as our contracts progress on an over-time model.

We have elected to apply the practical expedient to recognize revenue net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although our customers’ payment terms generally include a requirement to pay within 30 to 60 days of fulfilling our performance obligations. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined that our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. We have elected to apply the practical expedient to treat all shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs, as a significant portion of these costs are incurred prior to control transfer.

Significant Judgments

Our contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple products and/or services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. For example, judgment is required to determine whether products sold in connection with the sale of installation services are considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together with installation services and recognized over time.

We provide customer rebate programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing and co-operative advertising arrangements, promotions and other volume-based incentives. These customer programs and incentives are considered variable consideration and recognized as a reduction of net sales. Up-front consideration provided to customers is capitalized as a component of other assets and amortized over the estimated life of the contractual arrangement. We include in revenue variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the variable consideration is resolved. In general, this determination is made based upon known customer program and incentive offerings at the time of sale and expected sales volume forecasts as it relates to our volume-based incentives. This determination is updated each reporting period. Certain of our contracts include contingent consideration that is receivable only upon the final inspection and acceptance of a project. We include estimates of such variable consideration in our transaction price. Based on historical experience, we consider the probability-based expected value method appropriate to estimate the amount of such variable consideration.

22

Our products are generally sold with a right of return, and we may provide other credits or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. We record a right of return liability to accrue for expected customer returns. Historical actual returns are used to estimate future returns as a percentage of current sales. Obligations for returns and refunds were not material individually or in the aggregate.

We offer assurance type warranties on our products as well as separately sold warranty contracts. Revenue related to warranty contracts that are sold separately is recognized over the life of the warranty term. Warranty liabilities for our assurance type warranties are discussed further in Note 13, “Contingencies and Accrued Losses,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contract Balances

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing customers. Our contract assets are recorded for products and services that have been provided to our customer but have not yet been billed and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our short-term contract liabilities consist of advance payments, or deferred revenue, and are included in other accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Trade accounts receivable, net of allowances, and net contract assets consisted of the following:

(In thousands, except percentages)	February 28, 2025			May 31, 2024			$ Change			% Change
Trade accounts receivable, less allowances	$	1,105,085		$	1,419,445		$	(314,360	)		(22.1	%)
Contract assets	$	61,783		$	57,833		$	3,950			6.8	%
Contract liabilities - short-term		(47,548	)		(44,996	)		(2,552	)		5.7	%
Net Contract Assets	$	14,235		$	12,837		$	1,398

The $1.4 million increase in our net contract assets from May 31, 2024 to February 28, 2025, resulted primarily due to the timing of construction jobs in progress at February 28, 2025 versus May 31, 2024. During the three- and nine-month periods ending February 28, 2025, we recognized $6.1 million and $39.2 million of revenue, which was included in contract liabilities as of May 31, 2024. During the three- and nine-month periods ending February 29, 2024, we recognized $6.4 million and $34.9 million of revenue, which was included in contract liabilities as of May 31, 2023.

We also record long-term deferred revenue, which amounted to $83.5 million and $81.7 million as of February 28, 2025 and May 31, 2024, respectively. The long-term portion of deferred revenue is related to warranty contracts and is included in other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We have elected to adopt the practical expedient to not disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of the end of the reporting period for performance obligations that are part of a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less.

We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. As our contract terms are primarily one year or less in duration, we have elected to apply a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs include our internal sales force compensation program and certain incentive programs as we have determined annual compensation is commensurate with annual sales activities.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Our primary allowance for credit losses is the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reduces the trade accounts receivable balance to the estimated net realizable value equal to the amount that is expected to be collected. The allowance was based on assessments of current creditworthiness of customers, historical collection experience, the aging of receivables and other currently available evidence. Trade accounts receivable balances are written-off against the allowance if a final determination of uncollectibility is made. All provisions for allowances for doubtful collection of accounts are included in SG&A expenses.

The following tables summarize the activity for the allowance for credit losses for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	February 28,			February 29,			February 28,			February 29,

NOTE 16 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate a portfolio of businesses and product lines that manufacture and sell a variety of specialty paints, protective coatings, roofing systems, flooring solutions, sealants, cleaners and adhesives. We manage our portfolio by organizing our businesses and product lines into four reportable segments as outlined below, which also represent our operating segments. Within each operating segment, we manage product lines and businesses which generally address common markets, share similar economic characteristics, utilize similar technologies and can share manufacturing or distribution capabilities. Our four operating segments represent components of our business for which separate financial information is available that is utilized on a regular basis by our chief operating decision maker in determining how to allocate the assets of the company and evaluate performance. These four operating segments are each managed by an operating segment manager, who is responsible for the day-to-day operating decisions and performance evaluation of the operating segment’s underlying businesses. We evaluate the profit performance of our segments primarily based on income before income taxes, but also look to earnings (loss) before interest and taxes (“EBIT”), as a performance evaluation measure because interest (income) expense, net is essentially related to corporate functions, as opposed to segment operations.

Our CPG reportable segment products and services are sold throughout North America and also account for a significant portion of our international sales. Our construction product lines are sold directly to manufacturers, contractors, distributors and end-users, including industrial manufacturing facilities, concrete and cement producers, public institutions and other commercial customers. Products and services within this reportable segment include construction sealants and adhesives, coatings and chemicals, roofing systems, concrete admixture and repair products, building envelope solutions, parking decks, insulated cladding, firestopping, flooring systems, and weatherproofing solutions.

Our PCG reportable segment products and services are sold throughout North America, as well as internationally, and are sold directly to contractors, distributors and end-users, such as industrial manufacturing facilities, public institutions and other commercial customers. Products and services within this reportable segment include high-performance flooring solutions, corrosion control and fireproofing coatings, infrastructure repair systems and fiberglass reinforced plastic structures.

Our Consumer reportable segment manufactures and markets professional use and do-it-yourself ("DIY") products for a variety of mainly residential applications, including home improvement and personal leisure activities. Our Consumer reportable segment’s major manufacturing and distribution operations are located primarily in North America, along with a few locations in Europe, Australia and South America. Our Consumer reportable segment products are primarily sold directly to mass merchandisers, home improvement centers, hardware stores, paint stores, craft shops and through distributors. The Consumer reportable segment offers products that include specialty, hobby and professional paints; caulks; adhesives; cleaners; sandpaper and other abrasives; silicone sealants and wood stains.

Our SPG reportable segment products are sold throughout North America and internationally, primarily in Europe. Our SPG product lines are sold directly to contractors, distributors and end-users, such as industrial manufacturing facilities, public institutions and other commercial customers. The SPG reportable segment offers products that include restoration services equipment, colorants, nail enamels, factory applied industrial coatings, preservation products, and edible coatings and specialty glazes for pharmaceutical and food industries.

In addition to our four reportable segments, there is a category of certain business activities and expenses, referred to as corporate/other, that does not constitute an operating segment. This category includes our corporate headquarters and related administrative expenses, results of our captive insurance companies, gains or losses on the sales of certain assets and other expenses not directly associated with any reportable segment. Assets related to the corporate/other category consist primarily of investments, prepaid expenses and headquarters’ property and equipment. These corporate and other assets and expenses reconcile reportable segment data to total consolidated income before income taxes and identifiable assets.

We reflect income from our joint ventures on the equity method and receive royalties from our licensees.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our financial statements include all of our majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. Investments in less-than-majority-owned joint ventures over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for under the equity method. Preparation of our financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We continually evaluate these estimates, including those related to our allowances for doubtful accounts; reserves for excess and obsolete inventories; allowances for recoverable sales and/or value-added taxes; uncertain tax positions; useful lives of property, plant and equipment; goodwill and other intangible assets; environmental, warranties and other contingent liabilities; income tax valuation allowances; pension plans; and the fair value of financial instruments. We base our estimates on historical experience, our most recent facts, and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities. Actual results, which are shaped by actual market conditions, may differ materially from our estimates.

During the three months ended November 30, 2024, we reassessed certain of our income tax positions following developments in U.S. income tax case law. Based on our analysis and interpretations at that time, we recorded a net favorable income tax adjustment of $21.8 million, which reflected the net increase in the deferred income tax asset related to our U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards. The adjustment was based on our then current estimate of the amount of the deferred tax asset for these credits we expected to realize during the carryforward period. During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we reassessed the net $21.8 million deferred income tax asset described above. As a result, we recorded a $22.1 million favorable adjustment for the reversal of valuation allowances against these U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards. As a result, the total deferred tax asset recognized for these U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards is $43.9 million as of February 28, 2025. The amount recorded is our current estimate of the deferred tax assets for these credits that we expect to realize during the carryforward period. It is possible that the amount recorded could be adjusted if there are changes in U.S. income tax laws, regulations, case law, guidance or other positions issued by the Internal Revenue Service. Further, the amount recorded could change based on our future results or the implementation, if any, of income tax planning.

A comprehensive discussion of the accounting policies and estimates that are the most critical to our financial statements are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2024.

(a) The presentation includes a reconciliation of Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes, a measure defined by GAAP, to EBIT.

(b) Interest Income (Expense), Net includes the combination of Interest Income (Expense) and Investment Income (Expense), Net.

(c) EBIT is a non-GAAP measure and is defined as Earnings (Loss) Before Interest and Taxes. 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. We believe EBIT is useful to investors for this purpose as well, using EBIT 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 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.

Consolidated	$	1,476.6	$	1,523.0		(3.0	%)		(1.8	%)		0.5	%		(1.7	%)
(1) Organic growth (decline) includes the impact of price and volume.

Our CPG segment experienced organic sales declines during the third quarter of fiscal 2025, as unfavorable weather conditions limited construction and restoration activity, particularly in the southern and western U.S. Sales declines were also impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange translation.

Our PCG segment experienced slight organic sales declines during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 in comparison to a strong prior year period when organic sales grew 9.2%. Businesses producing fiberglass reinforced plastic structures generated strong growth driven by demand from data centers, while other businesses experienced declines due to challenging comparisons. Sales declines were also impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange translation.

Our Consumer segment generated modest organic sales growth in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 driven by new product introductions and market share gains. This organic sales growth was offset by unfavorable foreign exchange translation.

Our SPG segment experienced organic sales declines during the third quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily due to lower demand in specialty OEM markets and the disaster restoration business, which was impacted by a decline in remediation activity. This was partially offset by growth in the food coatings and additives business, which benefited from a prior acquisition.

Gross Profit Margin Our consolidated gross profit margin of 38.4% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compares to a consolidated gross profit margin of 39.9% for the comparable period a year ago. The current quarter gross profit margin decrease of approximately 1.5%, or 150 basis points ("bps"), resulted primarily from reduced fixed-cost absorption due to lower volumes, along with material and labor inflation, which was partially offset by improved pricing and our MAP 2025 initiatives, which generated incremental savings in procurement, manufacturing and commercial excellence.

We expect that the inflationary headwinds noted above will continue to be reflected in our results throughout the remainder of fiscal 2025 and into fiscal 2026. The impact of tariffs could add to these inflationary headwinds.

SG&A Our consolidated SG&A expense during the period was $3.1 million lower versus the same period last year but increased to 34.0% of net sales from 33.1% of net sales for the prior year quarter. These decreases were primarily driven by MAP 2025 savings initiatives, lower accrued employee benefit costs, decreased advertising costs, decreased professional fees related to our MAP 2025 initiatives and favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by increased compensation costs, acquisition costs and increased amortization related to our MAP 2025 program.

Our CPG segment SG&A decreased approximately $11.6 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 versus the comparable prior year period and decreased as a percentage of net sales. The decrease was mainly due to MAP 2025 initiatives, lower accrued employee benefit costs, decreased commissions, reductions in warranty and bad debt expense, and favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by increased bonus expense.

Our PCG segment SG&A was approximately $4.0 million higher for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 versus the comparable prior year period and increased as a percentage of net sales. The increase in expense was driven by merit increases and additional SG&A related to an acquisition, partially offset by decreased bonus expense and decreased SG&A related to divestitures in fiscal 2024.

Our Consumer segment SG&A increased by approximately $2.2 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 versus the same period last year and increased slightly as a percentage of net sales. The quarter-over-quarter increase in SG&A was primarily attributable to increased amortization related to our MAP 2025 program and increased professional fees, partially offset by reductions in bonus expense and advertising costs.

Our SPG segment SG&A decreased approximately $1.6 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 versus the comparable prior year period but increased as a percentage of net sales. The decrease in SG&A expense is primarily attributable to MAP 2025 savings initiatives, partially offset by investments in strategic growth initiatives.

29

SG&A expenses in our corporate/other category during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 increased approximately $3.9 million versus last year’s third quarter. This was mainly due to increased compensation costs, IT expense and merger and acquisition ("M&A") expenses, partially offset by decreased professional fees related to our MAP 2025 operational improvement initiatives.

The following table summarizes the retirement-related benefit plans’ impact on income before income taxes for the three months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, as the service cost component has a significant impact on our SG&A expense:

	Three months ended
(in millions)	February 28, 2025			February 29, 2024			Change
Service cost	$	12.3		$	12.4		$	(0.1	)
Interest cost		12.1			11.3			0.8
Expected return on plan assets		(14.4	)		(12.9	)		(1.5	)
Amortization of:
Net actuarial losses recognized		2.3			4.4			(2.1	)
Total Net Periodic Pension & Postretirement Benefit Costs	$	12.3		$	15.2		$	(2.9	)

We expect that pension expense will fluctuate on a year-to-year basis, depending upon the investment performance of plan assets and potential changes in interest rates, both of which are difficult to predict, but which may have a material impact on our consolidated financial results in the future.

Restructuring Charges

The following table summarizes restructuring charges recorded during the three months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, related to our MAP 2025 initiative, which is a multi-year restructuring plan designed to improve margins by streamlining business processes, reducing working capital, implementing commercial initiatives to drive improved mix, pricing discipline and salesforce effectiveness and improving operating efficiency:

	Three months ended
(in millions)	February 28, 2025		February 29, 2024
Severance and benefit costs	$	2.0	$	6.1
Facility closure and other related costs		1.5		0.3
Total Restructuring Costs	$	3.5	$	6.4

Most activities under MAP 2025 are anticipated to be completed by the end of fiscal 2025; however, we expect some costs to extend beyond this date. We currently expect to incur approximately $13.0 million of future additional charges related to the implementation of MAP 2025.

For further information and details about MAP 2025, see Note 3, “Restructuring,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

On a consolidated basis, our results reflect reduced fixed-cost absorption due to negative volumes and unfavorable foreign currency translation. Our CPG segment results reflect sales declines, reduced fixed-cost absorption due to lower volumes and temporary inefficiencies due to MAP 2025 plant consolidations, along with foreign currency translation headwinds. Our PCG segment results reflect increased SG&A expenses as noted above and reduced fixed-cost absorption due to lower volumes, partially offset by MAP 2025 benefits. Our Consumer segment results reflect reduced fixed-cost absorption due to MAP 2025 working capital efficiency initiatives, along with raw material inflation, increased restructuring costs and increased amortization related to our MAP 2025 program. The current period earnings decline was mitigated by MAP 2025 benefits. Our SPG segment results reflect sales declines and reduced fixed-cost absorption due to negative volumes, partially offset by MAP 2025 benefits. Our corporate/other category results reflect the unfavorable swing in investment returns and increased compensation costs, partially offset by reduced interest expense, pension non-service costs, and decreased professional fees related to our MAP 2025 operational improvement initiatives.

Income Tax Rate The effective income tax benefit rate of (27.7%) for the three months ended February 28, 2025 compares to the effective income tax rate of 26.4% for the three months ended February 29, 2024. The effective income tax rates for both periods reflect variances from the 21% statutory rate due to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, non-deductible business expenses, and the net tax on foreign subsidiary income resulting from the global intangible low-taxed income provisions, partially offset by tax benefits related to equity compensation and foreign tax credits. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the current three-month period ended February 28, 2025, reflects an adjustment made to our deferred income taxes. During this current quarter we recorded a $22.1 million favorable adjustment for the reversal of valuation allowances on U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards. This adjustment was based on our current estimate of the deferred tax assets for these credits that we expect to realize during the carryforward period.

(1) Organic growth (decline) includes the impact of price and volume.

Our CPG segment generated organic sales growth during the first nine months of fiscal 2025, led by turnkey roofing systems which benefited from its restoration project focus, direct sales model, and high level of customer service. Unfavorable foreign exchange translation and delays in construction and restoration due to unfavorable weather activity partially offset sales growth.

Our PCG segment generated organic sales growth during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 when compared to the same prior year period. Organic sales growth was driven by the flooring business, which benefited from its focus on maintenance and restoration and specified solutions for high-performance new construction projects. This growth was strongest in emerging markets, which was driven

31

by demand from high-performance building and infrastructure projects. The divestiture of USL's Bridgecare services division in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and unfavorable foreign exchange translation offset this sales growth.

Our Consumer segment experienced organic sales declines in the first nine months of fiscal 2025 driven by reduced DIY takeaway at retail, customer destocking and the rationalization of certain lower-margin products. This was partially offset by strong growth in international markets due to targeted marketing campaigns. Unfavorable foreign exchange translation also impacted sales declines.

Our SPG segment experienced organic sales declines during the first nine months of fiscal 2025, which were driven by soft demand in specialty OEM markets and the disaster restoration business, which was impacted by lower remediation activity. Sales declines were partially offset by growth from an acquisition in the food coatings business in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Gross Profit Margin Our consolidated gross profit margin of 41.0% of net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 was consistent with the comparable prior year period. The current period gross profit margins remained flat as our MAP 2025 initiatives, which generated incremental savings in procurement, manufacturing and commercial excellence that favorably impacted our gross margin, were offset by reduced fixed-cost absorption due to lower volumes, labor inflation, unfavorable sales mix and foreign currency translation.

We expect that the inflationary headwinds noted above will continue to be reflected in our results throughout the remainder of fiscal 2025 and into fiscal 2026. The impact of tariffs could add to these inflationary headwinds.

SG&A Our consolidated SG&A expense during the period was $1.4 million lower versus the same period last year but increased slightly to 29.4% of net sales from 29.3% of net sales for the prior year period. This decrease was due to reduced advertising costs, bad debt expense, warranty expense and insurance costs, along with MAP savings, and a $4.2 million decrease in expense related to the adverse legal ruling from a case associated with a divested business. In addition, the prior period includes the $4.5 million loss on the sale of USL's Bridgecare services division as described above in Note 3, "Restructuring," to the Consolidated Financial Statements. This was partially offset by merit increases, along with increased professional fees, R&D costs and increased amortization related to our MAP 2025 program. Further, the prior period includes the $11.1 million gain on business interruption insurance proceeds which did not recur in the current period. See Note 13, "Contingencies and Other Accrued Losses," to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the business interruption proceeds and adverse legal ruling.

Our CPG segment SG&A decreased approximately $19.1 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 versus the comparable prior year period and decreased as a percentage of net sales. The decrease in expense was mainly due to MAP savings, along with lower accrued employee benefit costs, decreased warranty expense, bad debt expense, professional fees and favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by merit increases.

Our PCG segment SG&A was approximately $4.3 million lower for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 versus the comparable prior year period and decreased slightly as a percentage of net sales. The decrease in expense was mainly due to a reduction in bad debt expense, and bonus expense, along with the $4.5 million loss on the sale of USL's Bridgecare services division recorded during the prior year period, partially offset by merit increases.

Our Consumer segment SG&A increased by approximately $21.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 versus the same period last year and increased as a percentage of net sales. The period-over-period increase in SG&A was primarily attributable to the $11.1 million gain on business interruption insurance proceeds received in the prior period that did not recur in the current period, $4.4 million of bad debt expense related to a retail customer bankruptcy, increased amortization related to our MAP 2025 program, and increased IT expenses, partially offset by MAP savings, along with decreased advertising costs.

Our SPG segment SG&A decreased approximately $5.4 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 versus the comparable prior year period and decreased slightly as a percentage of net sales. The decrease in SG&A expense is primarily attributable to the $4.2 million decrease in expense related to the adverse legal ruling from a case associated with a divested business, along with savings attributable to MAP, partially offset by investments in strategic growth initiatives.

SG&A expenses in our corporate/other category during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 increased approximately $5.9 million versus last year’s first nine months. This was mainly due to increased bonus expense, compensation costs and M&A expenses, partially offset by decreased insurance costs.

The following table summarizes the retirement-related benefit plans’ impact on income before income taxes for the nine months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, as the service cost component has a significant impact on our SG&A expense:

	Nine Months Ended
(in millions)	February 28, 2025			February 29, 2024			Change
Service cost	$	37.0		$	37.1		$	(0.1	)
Interest cost		36.3			34.0			2.3
Expected return on plan assets		(43.1	)		(38.7	)		(4.4	)
Amortization of:
Prior service (credit)		(0.1	)		(0.1	)		-
Net actuarial losses recognized		6.9			13.2			(6.3	)
Total Net Periodic Pension & Postretirement Benefit Costs	$	37.0		$	45.5		$	(8.5	)

We expect that pension expense will fluctuate on a year-to-year basis, depending upon the investment performance of plan assets and potential changes in interest rates, both of which are difficult to predict, but which may have a material impact on our consolidated financial results in the future.

Restructuring Charges

The following table summarizes restructuring charges recorded during the nine months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, related to our MAP 2025 initiative, which is a multi-year restructuring plan designed to improve margins by streamlining business processes, reducing working capital, implementing commercial initiatives to drive improved mix, pricing discipline and salesforce effectiveness and improving operating efficiency:

	Nine Months Ended
(in millions)	February 28, 2025		February 29, 2024
Severance and benefit costs	$	14.1	$	9.1
Facility closure and other related costs		4.1		0.5
Other restructuring costs		-		4.5
Total Restructuring Costs	$	18.2	$	14.1

Most activities under MAP 2025 are anticipated to be completed by the end of fiscal 2025; however, we expect some costs to extend beyond this date. We currently expect to incur approximately $13.0 million of future additional charges related to the implementation of MAP 2025.

For further information and details about MAP 2025, see Note 3, “Restructuring,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Corporate/Other		(180.7	)		—			(190.1	)		—
Consolidated	$	544.4					$	548.6

On a consolidated basis, our results reflect reduced fixed-cost absorption due to negative volumes and unfavorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by MAP 2025 benefits. Our CPG segment results reflect sales growth and MAP 2025 benefits. Our PCG segment results reflect improved fixed-cost leverage from positive volumes, which were enhanced by MAP 2025 initiatives. In addition, our prior period PCG segment results reflect the $4.5 million loss on the sale of USL's Bridgecare services division, the $3.3 million impairment of an indefinite lived-intangible asset as described above in Note 3, "Restructuring," to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and higher bad debt expense. Our Consumer segment results reflect reduced fixed-cost absorption due to negative volumes, raw material and labor inflation, $4.4 million of bad debt expense from a retail customer bankruptcy, increased restructuring costs and increased amortization related to our MAP 2025 program, while our prior period results include the $11.1 million gain on business interruption insurance proceeds. The current period earnings decline was mitigated by improved operating efficiencies related to MAP 2025 and rationalization of lower margin products. Our SPG segment results reflect MAP 2025 benefits, partially offset by reduced fixed-cost absorption due to negative volumes and increased restructuring costs. In addition, our SPG results reflect a $4.2 million decrease in expense related to the adverse legal ruling from a case associated with a divested business. Our corporate/other category results reflect reduced interest expense, pension non-service costs and insurance costs, partially offset by the unfavorable swing in investment returns, along with increased compensation expense and M&A expenses.

Income Tax Rate The effective rate of 14.7% for the nine months ended February 28, 2025 compares to the effective income tax rate of 25.5% for the nine months ended February 29, 2024. The effective income tax rates for both periods reflect variances from the 21% statutory rate due to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, non-deductible business expenses, and the net tax on foreign subsidiary income resulting from the global intangible low-taxed income provisions, partially offset by tax benefits related to equity compensation and foreign tax credits.

Additionally, the effective tax rate for the current nine-month period ended February 28, 2025, reflect adjustments made to our deferred income taxes. During the current quarter we recorded a $22.1 million favorable adjustment for the reversal of valuation allowances on U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards. This adjustment was based on our current estimate of the deferred tax assets for these credits that we expect to realize during the carryforward period. Further, during the nine-month period we reassessed certain of our income tax positions following developments in U.S. income tax case law. During the second quarter ended November 30, 2024, based on our analysis and interpretations at that time, we recorded a net favorable income tax adjustment of $21.8 million which reflected an increase in our deferred income tax assets for U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards. The effective income tax rate for the nine-month period also reflects a favorable adjustment recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 for incremental U.S. foreign tax credits associated with a distribution of historic foreign earnings that were previously not considered to be permanently reinvested. The distribution of such earnings was done in conjunction with the execution of global cash redeployment and debt optimization projects.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Fiscal 2025 Compared with Fiscal 2024

Operating Activities

Approximately $619.0 million of cash was provided by operating activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2025, compared with $941.1 million of cash provided by operating activities during the same period last year. The net change in cash from operations includes the change in net income, which increased by $55.7 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 versus the same period during fiscal 2024.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, the change in accounts receivable provided approximately $128.1 million less cash than the first nine months of fiscal 2024. This was primarily due to the timing of sales. Average days sales outstanding (“DSO”) at February 28, 2025, decreased to 61.9 days from 62.7 days at February 29, 2024.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, the change in inventory used approximately $151.7 million more cash compared to spending during the same period a year ago. This is due to increased inventory purchases compared to the prior year period when our operating segments were using safety stock built up in response to supply chain outages and raw material inflation. Average days of inventory outstanding (“DIO”) at February 28, 2025 decreased to 85.2 days from 93.5 days at February 29, 2024.

The change in accounts payable during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 used approximately $89.1 million less cash than during the first nine months of fiscal 2024. This is associated with working capital efficiencies enabled by MAP 2025 initiatives, including improved procurement practices. Average days payables outstanding (“DPO”) increased to 89.9 days at February 28, 2025 from 83.2 days at February 29, 2024.

Investing Activities

For the first nine months of fiscal 2025, cash used for investing activities increased by $151.8 million to $305.7 million as compared to $153.9 million in the prior year period. This year-over-year increase in cash used for investing activities was driven primarily by a $111.8 million increase in cash used for business acquisitions.

We paid for capital expenditures of $158.9 million and $138.1 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively. Our capital expenditures facilitate our continued growth, allow us to achieve production and distribution efficiencies, expand capacity, introduce new technology, improve environmental health and safety capabilities, improve information systems, and enhance our administration capabilities. We continue to invest capital spending in growth initiatives and to improve operational efficiencies in fiscal 2025.

Our captive insurance companies invest their excess cash in marketable securities in the ordinary course of conducting their operations, and this activity will continue. Differences in the amounts related to these activities on a year-over-year basis are primarily attributable to differences in the timing and performance of their investments balanced against amounts required to satisfy claims. At February 28, 2025 and May 31, 2024, the fair value of our investments in available-for-sale debt securities and marketable equity securities, which includes captive insurance-related assets, totaled $179.3 million and $154.3 million, respectively.

As of February 28, 2025, approximately $223.0 million of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents were held at various foreign subsidiaries, compared with $215.2 million at May 31, 2024. Undistributed earnings held at our foreign subsidiaries that are considered permanently reinvested will be used, for instance, to expand operations organically or for acquisitions in foreign jurisdictions. Further, our operations in the U.S. generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy U.S. operating requirements. Refer to Note 7, “Income Taxes,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding unremitted foreign earnings.

Financing Activities

For the first nine months of fiscal 2025, financing activities used $294.2 million of cash, which compares to cash used for financing activities of $750.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2024. The overall decrease in cash used for financing activities was driven principally by debt-related activities. During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, we repaid the $130.0 million outstanding on our accounts receivable securitization program ("AR Program") and borrowed $104.0 million on our revolving credit facility. In comparison, we made payments of $175.0 million on our AR Program, repaid $85.2 million on our revolving credit facility, and repaid $250.0 million on our term loan during the first nine months of fiscal 2024. See below for further details on the significant components of our debt.

Our available liquidity, including our cash and cash equivalents and amounts available under our committed credit facilities, stood at $1.21 billion and $1.36 billion as of February 28, 2025 and May 31, 2024, respectively.

35

Revolving Credit Agreement

In August 2022, we amended our $1.3 billion unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), which was set to expire on October 31, 2023. The amendment extended the expiration date to August 1, 2027 and increased the borrowing capacity to $1.35 billion. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at either the base rate or benchmark interest rate (i.e. the adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) for USD denominated debt), as defined, at our option, plus a spread determined by our debt rating. The Revolving Credit Facility includes sublimits for the issuance of swingline loans, which are comparatively short-term loans used for working capital purposes and letters of credit. The Revolving Credit Facility is available to refinance existing indebtedness, to finance working capital and capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes.

The Revolving Credit Facility requires us to comply with various customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a leverage covenant (i.e. Net Leverage Ratio) and interest coverage ratio, which are calculated in accordance with the terms as defined by the Revolving Credit Facility. Under the terms of the leverage covenant, we may not permit our leverage ratio for total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the four most recent fiscal quarters to exceed 3.75 to 1.00. During certain periods and per the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, this ratio may be increased to 4.25 to 1.00 upon delivery of a notice to our lender requesting an increase to our maximum leverage or in connection with certain “material acquisitions.” The minimum required consolidated interest coverage ratio for EBITDA to interest expense is 3.50 to 1.00. The interest coverage ratio is calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarters then ended using EBITDA as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of February 28, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial covenants contained in our Revolving Credit Facility, including the Net Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio covenants. At that date, our Net Leverage Ratio was 1.56 to 1.00, while our Interest Coverage Ratio was 12.44 to 1.00. As of February 28, 2025, we had $913.2 million of borrowing availability on our Revolving Credit Facility.

Our access to funds under our Revolving Credit Facility is dependent on the ability of the financial institutions that are parties to the Revolving Credit Facility to meet their funding commitments. Those financial institutions may not be able to meet their funding commitments if they experience shortages of capital and liquidity or if they experience excessive volumes of borrowing requests within a short period of time. Moreover, the obligations of the financial institutions under our Revolving Credit Facility are several and not joint and, as a result, a funding default by one or more institutions does not need to be made up by the others.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program

In December 2024, we provided written notice to our lenders to reduce the maximum availability from $250.0 million to $50.0 million. As of February 28, 2025, we did not have an outstanding balance under our AR Program.

The AR Program contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as customary default and termination provisions. Our failure to comply with the covenants described above and other covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility could result in an event of default under that agreement, entitling the lenders to, among other things, declare the entire amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility to be due and payable immediately. The instruments governing our other outstanding indebtedness generally include cross-default provisions that provide that, under certain circumstances, an event of default that results in acceleration of our indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility will entitle the holders of such other indebtedness to declare amounts outstanding immediately due and payable. See “Revolving Credit Agreement” above for details on our compliance with all significant financial covenants at February 28, 2025.

Stock Repurchase Program

See Note 9, “Stock Repurchase Program,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for further detail surrounding our stock repurchase program.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet financings. We have no subsidiaries that are not included in our financial statements, nor do we have any interests in, or relationships with, any special purpose entities that are not reflected in our financial statements.

OTHER MATTERS

Environmental Matters

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from changes in raw materials costs, interest rates and foreign exchange rates since we fund our operations through long- and short-term borrowings and conduct our business in a variety of foreign currencies. There were no material potential changes in our exposure to these market risks since May 31, 2024.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of February 28, 2025 (the “Evaluation Date”), have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Environmental Proceedings

Like other companies participating in similar lines of business, some of our subsidiaries are identified as a “potentially responsible party” under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and similar local environmental statutes or are participating in the cost of certain clean-up efforts or other remedial actions relating to environmental matters. Our share of such costs to date, however, has not been material and management believes that these environmental proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. See “Item 1 — Business — Environmental Matters,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2024.

As permitted by SEC rules, and given the size of our operations, we have elected to adopt a quantitative threshold for environmental proceedings of $1 million. On December 19, 2024, a subsidiary in our Consumer segment received informal notification from the EPA of the EPA's intent to issue a civil penalty for alleged violation of the Toxic Substances Control Act Section 6 regulatory standard related to 2021 sales of a consumer product allegedly containing a regulated substance. The EPA provided an initial proposed penalty calculation on January 14, 2025, which totaled approximately $6.2 million. We are disputing this proposed penalty and believe that it is unwarranted under the circumstances. Based on information currently known, we are not able to estimate the outcome of this matter or a possible range of loss, if any.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the other risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024.

Consolidation, Noncontrolling Interests and Basis of Presentation

Feb. 28, 2025

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Consolidation, Noncontrolling Interests and Basis of Presentation

NOTE 1 — CONSOLIDATION, NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2024.

Our financial statements include all of our majority-owned subsidiaries. We account for our investments in less-than-majority-owned joint ventures, for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, under the equity method. Effects of transactions between related companies are eliminated in consolidation.

Noncontrolling interests are presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements as if parent company investors (controlling interests) and other minority investors (noncontrolling interests) in partially-owned subsidiaries have similar economic interests in a single entity. As a result, investments in noncontrolling interests are reported as equity in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, our Consolidated Financial Statements include 100% of a controlled subsidiary’s earnings, rather than only our share. Transactions between the parent company and noncontrolling interests are reported in equity as transactions between stockholders, provided that these transactions do not create a change in control.

Our business is dependent on external weather factors. Historically, we have experienced strong sales and net income in our first, second and fourth fiscal quarters comprising the three-month periods ending August 31, November 30, and May 31, respectively, with weaker performance in our third fiscal quarter (December through February).

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncements

NOTE 2 — NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New Pronouncements Adopted

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2022-04, "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50)," which is intended to establish disclosures that enhance the transparency of a supplier finance program used by an entity in connection with the purchase of goods and services. This guidance requires annual and interim disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supplier finance programs, the amount outstanding under such programs including where they are recorded on the balance sheet, and a roll-forward of the related obligations. The new standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of the supplier finance program obligations. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on roll-forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We adopted the new standard on June 1, 2023, on a retrospective basis other than the roll-forward guidance, which we plan to adopt on a prospective basis beginning with our fiscal 2025 annual financial statements. As of adoption on June 1, 2023, we did not have any material supplier finance program obligations; however, we began such an arrangement during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Refer to Note 14, “Supply Chain Financing,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

New Pronouncements Issued

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, " Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)." Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The standard provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. The standard requires, in the notes to the financial statements, disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses which includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which requires a public business entity to disclose specific categories in its annual effective tax rate reconciliation and disaggregated information about significant reconciling items by jurisdiction and by nature. The ASU also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments (net of refunds) to international, federal, and state and local jurisdictions. The guidance makes several other changes to income tax disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective or prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which expands disclosures about a public business entity's reportable segments and provides for more detailed information about a reportable segment's expenses. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Restructuring

NOTE 3 — RESTRUCTURING

We record restructuring charges associated with management-approved restructuring plans to either reorganize one or more of our business segments, or to remove duplicative headcount and infrastructure associated with our businesses. Restructuring charges can include severance costs to eliminate a specified number of associates, infrastructure charges to vacate facilities and consolidate operations, contract cancellation costs and other costs. We record the short-term portion of our restructuring liability in other accrued liabilities and the long-term portion, if any, in other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In August 2022, we approved and announced our Margin Achievement Plan 2025 (“MAP 2025”), which is a multi-year restructuring plan designed to improve margins by streamlining business processes, reducing working capital, implementing commercial initiatives to drive improved mix, pricing discipline and salesforce effectiveness and improving operating efficiency. Most activities under MAP 2025 are anticipated to be completed by the end of fiscal 2025; however, we expect some costs to extend beyond this date.

The current total expected costs associated with this plan are outlined below and increased approximately $3.1 million compared to our prior quarter estimate, attributable to increases in expected facility closure and other related costs of $2.7 million and increases in expected severance and benefit charges of $0.4 million. Throughout our MAP 2025 initiative, we will continue to assess and find areas of improvement and cost savings. As such, the final implementation of the aforementioned phases and total expected costs are subject to change.

USL Restructuring

During the quarter ended August 31, 2023, we recognized a loss on sale of $4.5 million in connection with the divestiture of USL’s Bridgecare services division. The Bridgecare division was a contracting business focused on the installation of joints and waterproofing in the UK. The loss on this sale was included in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income and net loss on sales of assets and businesses in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Additionally, during the quarter ended August 31, 2023, in connection with MAP 2025, we realigned certain businesses and management structures within our segments. Within our PCG segment, certain businesses of our USL reporting unit were transferred to our Fibergrate, Carboline and Stonhard reporting units. As a result of this change in our market strategy, we performed an interim impairment assessment of the USL indefinite-lived tradename. Calculating the fair value of the USL’s indefinite-lived tradename required the use of various estimates and assumptions. We estimated the fair value of USL’s indefinite-lived tradename by applying a relief-from-royalty calculation, which included discounted future cash flows related to projected revenues impacted by this decision. In applying this methodology, we relied on a number of factors, including actual and forecasted revenues and market data. As the carrying amount of the tradename exceeded its fair value, an impairment loss of $3.3 million was recorded for the three months ended August 31, 2023. This impairment loss was classified as restructuring expense within our PCG segment.

Following is a summary of the charges recorded in connection with MAP 2025 by reportable segment for the three- and nine-month periods ending February 28, 2025, as well as the total expected costs related to projects identified to date:

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

NOTE 4 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Financial instruments recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, marketable securities, notes and accounts payable, and debt.

An allowance for credit losses is established for trade accounts receivable using assessments of current creditworthiness of customers, historical collection experience, the aging of receivables and other currently available evidence. Trade accounts receivable balances are written-off against the allowance if a final determination of uncollectibility is made. All provisions for allowance for doubtful collection of accounts are included in SG&A expense.

The valuation techniques utilized for establishing the fair values of assets and liabilities are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value, as follows:

Level 1 Inputs — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 Inputs — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 Inputs — Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.

The following tables present our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy.

(In thousands)	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Fair Value at February 28, 2025

Total	$	10,546	$	143,777	$	(2,229	)	$	152,094

Our investments in available-for-sale debt securities and marketable equity securities are valued using a market approach. The availability of inputs observable in the market varies from instrument to instrument and depends on a variety of factors, including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is actively traded and other characteristics particular to the transaction. For most of our financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely accepted by market participants, and the valuation does not require significant management discretion. For other financial instruments, pricing inputs are less observable in the market and may require management judgment.

The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of the additional variable cash consideration payable in connection with recent acquisitions that is contingent upon the achievement of certain performance milestones. We estimated the fair value using expected future cash flows over the period in which the obligation is expected to be settled which is considered to be a Level 3 input. During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, we paid approximately $2.2 million to satisfy contingent consideration obligations relating to certain performance milestones that were established in prior periods and achieved during the current year. During the first nine months of fiscal 2024, we paid approximately $1.1 million to satisfy contingent consideration obligations relating to certain performance milestones that were established in prior periods and achieved during fiscal 2024. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, payments of acquisition-related contingent consideration for the amount recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date are reported in cash flows from financing activities, while payments of contingent consideration in excess of fair value as of the acquisition date, are reported in cash flows from operating activities within other accrued liabilities.

The carrying value of our current financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. At February 28, 2025 and May 31, 2024, the fair value of our long-term debt was estimated using active market quotes, based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, which are Level 2 inputs. Based on the analysis performed, the fair value and the carrying value of our long-term debt as of February 28, 2025 and May 31, 2024 is as follows:

	At February 28, 2025
(In thousands)	Carrying Value		Fair Value
Long-term debt, including current portion	$	2,097,239	$	2,008,677
	At May 31, 2024

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

NOTE 7 — INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax benefit rate of (27.7%) for the three months ended February 28, 2025 compares to the effective income tax rate of 26.4% for the three months ended February 29, 2024. The effective tax rate of 14.7% for the nine months ended February 28, 2025 compares to the effective income tax rate of 25.5% for the nine months ended February 29, 2024.

The effective income tax rates for the three- and nine-month periods reflect variances from the 21% statutory rate due to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, non-deductible business expenses, and the net tax on foreign subsidiary income resulting from the global intangible low-taxed income provisions, partially offset by tax benefits related to equity compensation and foreign tax credits.

Additionally, the effective tax rate for the current three- and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2025, reflect adjustments made to our deferred income taxes. During the current quarter we recorded a $22.1 million favorable adjustment for the reversal of valuation allowances on U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards. This adjustment was based on our current estimate of the deferred tax assets for these credits that we expect to realize during the carryforward period. Further, during the nine-month period we reassessed certain of our income tax positions following developments in U.S. income tax case law. During the second quarter ended November 30, 2024, based on our analysis and interpretations at that time, we recorded a net favorable income tax adjustment of $21.8 million which reflected an increase in our deferred income tax assets for U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards. The effective income tax rate for the nine-month period also reflects a favorable adjustment recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 for incremental U.S. foreign tax credits associated with a distribution of historic foreign earnings that were previously not considered to be permanently reinvested. The distribution of such earnings was done in conjunction with the execution of global cash redeployment and debt optimization projects.

Our deferred tax liability for unremitted foreign earnings was adjusted to $4.1 million as of May 31, 2024. The $4.1 million represented our estimate of the net tax cost of remitting $285.6 million of foreign earnings that were not considered to be permanently reinvested. As of February 28, 2025, the amount of these earnings has changed to $154.2 million and we no longer have a tax liability associated with remitting these earnings. The reduction to the earnings amounts no longer permanently reinvested is due principally to distributions of such earnings during the year. We have not provided for foreign withholding or income taxes on the remaining foreign subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings because such earnings have been retained and reinvested by the subsidiaries as of February 28, 2025. Accordingly, no provision has been made for foreign withholding or income taxes, which may become payable if the remaining undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries were remitted to us as dividends.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has proposed a framework comprised of rules and models, collectively referred to as Pillar Two (“P2”), that are designed to ensure that certain multi-national enterprises pay a minimum tax rate of 15% on reported profits arising in each jurisdiction where they operate. Although the OECD provided a framework for applying the minimum tax, individual countries have and may continue to enact P2 rules that are different than the OECD framework. While we continue to monitor P2 developments, we do not anticipate that P2 will have a material impact on our long-term financial position.

Stock Repurchase Program

NOTE 9 — STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

On January 8, 2008, we announced our authorization of a stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase shares of RPM International Inc. common stock at management’s discretion. As announced on November 28, 2018, our goal was to return $1.0 billion in capital to stockholders by May 31, 2021 through share repurchases and the retirement of our convertible note during fiscal 2019. On April 16, 2019, after taking into account share repurchases under our existing stock repurchase program to date, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of the remaining $600.0 million in value of RPM International Inc. common stock by May 31, 2021.

As previously announced, given macroeconomic uncertainty resulting from the Covid pandemic, we had suspended stock repurchases under the program, but in January 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the resumption of the stock repurchases. At the time of resuming the program, $469.7 million of shares of common stock remained available for repurchase. The Board of Directors also extended the stock repurchase program beyond its original May 31, 2021 expiration date until such time that the remaining $469.7 million of capital has been returned to our stockholders.

As a result, we may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market or in private transactions at various times and in amounts and for prices that our management deems appropriate, subject to insider trading rules and other securities law restrictions. The timing of our purchases will depend upon prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors. We may limit or terminate the repurchase program at any time.

During the three months ended February 28, 2025, we repurchased 142,864 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $17.5 million, or an average of $122.49 per share, under this program. During the three months ended February 29, 2024, we repurchased 114,588 shares of our common stock at a cost of $12.5 million, or an average of $108.98 per share, under this program. During the nine months ended February 28, 2025, we repurchased 423,879 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $52.5 million, or an average of $123.86 per share, under this program. During the nine months ended February 29, 2024, we repurchased 368,871 shares of our common stock at a cost of $37.5 million, or an average of $101.63 per share, under this program. The maximum dollar amount that may yet be repurchased under our stock repurchase program was approximately $209.8 million at February 28, 2025.

(1) The dilutive effect of performance-based restricted stock units is included when they have met minimum performance thresholds. The dilutive effect of SARs includes all outstanding awards except awards that are considered antidilutive. SARs are antidilutive when the exercise price exceeds the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the periods presented. For the three and nine months ended February 28, 2025, approximately 190,000 and 170,000 shares of stock, respectively, granted under stock-based compensation plans were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, approximately 300,000 and 250,000 shares of stock, respectively, granted under stock-based compensation plans were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Net Periodic Benefit Cost	$	45		$	54		$	1,809		$	2,841

Net periodic pension cost for fiscal 2025 is less than our fiscal 2024 cost due to an increase in expected return on plan assets and a reduction in the amortization of the net actuarial loss to be recognized. We expect that pension expense will fluctuate on a year-to-year basis, depending upon the investment performance of plan assets and potential changes in interest rates, and these fluctuations may have a material impact on our consolidated financial results in the future. We previously disclosed in our financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2024 that we are required and expect to contribute approximately $5.9 million to plans outside the U.S. during the current fiscal year and we will evaluate whether to make additional contributions to plans in the U.S. and outside the U.S. throughout fiscal 2025. As a result of our evaluation, we contributed $45.5 million to the main pension plan in the U.S. during the current quarter, which will increase our total expected U.S. contributions to $45.5 million during fiscal year 2025.

Contingencies and Accrued Losses

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Contingencies and Accrued Losses

NOTE 13 — CONTINGENCIES AND ACCRUED LOSSES

Product Liability Matters

We provide, through our wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries, certain insurance coverage, primarily product liability coverage, to our other subsidiaries. Excess coverage is provided by third-party insurers. Our product liability accruals provide for these potential losses as well as other uninsured claims. Product liability accruals are established based upon actuarial calculations of potential liability using industry experience, actual historical experience and actuarial assumptions developed for similar types of product liability claims, including development factors and lag times. To the extent there is a reasonable possibility that potential losses could exceed the amounts already accrued, we believe that the amount of any such additional loss would be immaterial to our results of operations, liquidity and consolidated financial position.

Warranty Matters

We also offer warranties on many of our products, as well as long-term warranty programs at certain of our businesses, and have established product warranty liabilities. We review these liabilities for adequacy on a quarterly basis and adjust them as necessary. The primary factors that could affect these liabilities may include changes in performance rates as well as costs of replacement. Provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale and periodically adjusted, as required, to reflect actual experience. It is probable that we will incur future losses related to warranty claims we have received but that have not been fully investigated and related to claims not yet received. While our warranty liabilities represent our best estimates at February 28, 2025, we can provide no assurances that we will not experience material claims in the future or that we will not incur significant costs to resolve such claims beyond the amounts accrued or beyond what we may recover from our suppliers. Based upon the nature of the expense, product warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of sales or within SG&A.

Also, due to the nature of our businesses, the amount of claims paid can fluctuate from one period to the next. While our warranty liabilities represent our best estimates of our expected losses at any given time, from time-to-time we may revise our estimates based on our experience relating to factors such as weather conditions, specific circumstances surrounding product installations and other factors.

The following table includes the changes in our accrued warranty balances:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

Ending Balance	$	12,095		$	12,469		$	12,095		$	12,469

(1) Primarily claims paid during the period.

Environmental Matters

Like other companies participating in similar lines of business, some of our subsidiaries are involved in environmental remediation matters. It is our policy to accrue remediation costs when the liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable, which generally is not later than at completion of a feasibility study or when we have committed to an appropriate plan of action. We also take into consideration the estimated period of time over which payments may be required. The liabilities are reviewed periodically and, as investigation and remediation activities continue, adjustments are made as necessary. Liabilities for losses from environmental remediation obligations do not consider the effects of inflation and anticipated expenditures are not discounted to their present value. The liabilities are not offset by possible recoveries from insurance carriers or other third parties but do reflect anticipated allocations among potentially responsible parties at federal superfund sites or similar state-managed sites, third-party indemnity obligations, and an assessment of the likelihood that such parties will fulfill their obligations at such sites.

On December 19, 2024, a subsidiary in our Consumer segment received informal notification from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") of the EPA's intent to issue a civil penalty for alleged violation of the Toxic Substances Control Act Section 6 regulatory standard related to 2021 sales of a consumer product allegedly containing a regulated substance. The EPA provided an initial proposed penalty calculation on January 14, 2025, which totaled approximately $6.2 million. We are disputing this proposed penalty and believe that it is unwarranted under the circumstances. Based on information currently known, we are not able to estimate the outcome of this matter or a possible range of loss, if any.

Other Contingencies

One of our former subsidiaries in our SPG reportable segment has been the subject of a proceeding in which one of its former distributors brought suit against the subsidiary for breach of contract. Following a June 2017 trial, a jury determined that the distributor was not entitled to any damages on the distributor’s claims. On appeal, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered a new trial with respect to certain issues. On December 10, 2021, a new jury awarded $6.0 million in damages to the distributor. Per the parties’ contracts, the distributor was also entitled to seek recovery of some portion of its attorneys’ fees and costs. On November 15, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California issued an order awarding the distributor approximately $4.4 million in connection with attorney's fees and costs the distributor allegedly incurred throughout the duration of this legal action. As a result of this order, we increased our accrual to $10.4 million as of November 30, 2023. On December 27, 2023, we paid the $6.0 million judgment, and then decreased our accrual to approximately $4.4 million. We appealed the District Court's order awarding attorneys’ fees and costs to the distributor to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. On January 21, 2025, the Ninth Circuit reversed in part and affirmed in part the District Court’s order awarding attorneys’ fees and costs. As a result, we paid the distributor $4.6 million, which resulted in a reduction of our accrual to zero, and recording $0.2 million of expense for the period ending February 28, 2025.

One of our subsidiaries in our Consumer reportable segment has been the subject of a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Oregon in which a former supplier of that subsidiary alleged that the subsidiary breached certain contractual obligations, misappropriated trade secrets, and committed fraud in connection with an Exclusive Sales Agreement and a Mutual Settlement Agreement and Release executed in November 2015 and 2017, respectively. Our subsidiary denied, and continues to deny, these allegations.

A jury trial commenced in this matter on September 17, 2024. On September 27, 2024, the jury rendered a verdict against our subsidiary for $190.0 million, consisting of both compensatory and punitive damages. We filed an objection to the former supplier’s proposed form of judgment seeking a reduction or elimination of certain damages included in the jury’s verdict. On January 28, 2025, the District Court reduced the compensatory and punitive damages award by $79.2 million. On February 28, 2025, the District Court entered judgment in the amount of $110.8 million, consisting of both compensatory and punitive damages, plus prejudgment interest applicable to the compensatory damages in the amount of 9.0% per annum beginning on August 1, 2018. We believe that the jury verdict is not supported by the facts of the case or applicable law, is the result of significant trial error, and there are strong grounds for appeal. We intend to vigorously challenge the verdict and judgment through appropriate post-trial motions and appellate processes.

As a result, we believe that the likelihood that the amount of the judgment will be affirmed is not probable. We currently estimate a range of possible outcomes between approximately $0.5 million and $150.0 million, which is inclusive of the prejudgment interest awarded, and we accrued a liability as of August 31, 2024, at the low end of the range, as no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount. This amount is reflected in accrued losses, and selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine-month period ended February 28, 2025. The ultimate loss to the Company with respect to the litigation matter could be materially different from the amount the Company has accrued. The Company cannot predict or estimate the duration or ultimate outcome of this matter.

Gain on Business Interruption Insurance

In April 2021, there was a significant plant explosion at a key alkyd resin supplier which caused severe supply chain disruptions. As a result of this disruption, the Consumer segment incurred incremental costs and lost sales during fiscal 2021 and 2022. A claim for these losses was submitted under our business interruption insurance policy. The Consumer segment recovered $10.3 million from insurance during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and $0.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. These proceeds were recorded as a gain of $11.1 million for the nine-month period ending February 29, 2024. No such proceeds were received during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 or the three-month period ending February 29, 2024. The insurance gains are recorded as a reduction to SG&A expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income, and the proceeds are included within cash flows from operating activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

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 $24.3 million and $32.9 million as of February 28, 2025 and May 31, 2024, respectively. These amounts are included within accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue

NOTE 15 — REVENUE

We operate a portfolio of businesses that manufacture and sell a variety of product lines that include specialty paints, protective coatings, roofing systems, sealants and adhesives, among other things. We disaggregate revenues from the sales of our products and services based upon geographical location by each of our reportable segments, which are aligned by similar economic factors, trends and customers, which best depict the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. See Note 16, “Segment Information,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding our disaggregated revenues, as well as a description of each of the unique revenue streams related to each of our four reportable segments.

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. The majority of our revenue is recognized at a point in time. However, we also record revenues generated under construction contracts, mainly in connection with the installation of specialized roofing and flooring systems and related services. For certain polymer flooring installation projects, we account for our revenue using the output method, as we consider square footage of completed flooring to be the best measure of progress toward the complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. In contrast, for certain of our roofing installation projects, we account for our revenue using the input method, as that method is the best measure of performance as it considers costs incurred in relation to total expected project costs, which essentially represents the transfer of control for roofing systems to the customer. In general, for our construction contracts, we record contract revenues and related costs as our contracts progress on an over-time model.

We have elected to apply the practical expedient to recognize revenue net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although our customers’ payment terms generally include a requirement to pay within 30 to 60 days of fulfilling our performance obligations. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined that our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. We have elected to apply the practical expedient to treat all shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs, as a significant portion of these costs are incurred prior to control transfer.

Significant Judgments

Our contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple products and/or services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. For example, judgment is required to determine whether products sold in connection with the sale of installation services are considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together with installation services and recognized over time.

We provide customer rebate programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing and co-operative advertising arrangements, promotions and other volume-based incentives. These customer programs and incentives are considered variable consideration and recognized as a reduction of net sales. Up-front consideration provided to customers is capitalized as a component of other assets and amortized over the estimated life of the contractual arrangement. We include in revenue variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the variable consideration is resolved. In general, this determination is made based upon known customer program and incentive offerings at the time of sale and expected sales volume forecasts as it relates to our volume-based incentives. This determination is updated each reporting period. Certain of our contracts include contingent consideration that is receivable only upon the final inspection and acceptance of a project. We include estimates of such variable consideration in our transaction price. Based on historical experience, we consider the probability-based expected value method appropriate to estimate the amount of such variable consideration.

Our products are generally sold with a right of return, and we may provide other credits or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. We record a right of return liability to accrue for expected customer returns. Historical actual returns are used to estimate future returns as a percentage of current sales. Obligations for returns and refunds were not material individually or in the aggregate.

We offer assurance type warranties on our products as well as separately sold warranty contracts. Revenue related to warranty contracts that are sold separately is recognized over the life of the warranty term. Warranty liabilities for our assurance type warranties are discussed further in Note 13, “Contingencies and Accrued Losses,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contract Balances

Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing customers. Our contract assets are recorded for products and services that have been provided to our customer but have not yet been billed and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our short-term contract liabilities consist of advance payments, or deferred revenue, and are included in other accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Trade accounts receivable, net of allowances, and net contract assets consisted of the following:

(In thousands, except percentages)	February 28, 2025			May 31, 2024			$ Change			% Change
Trade accounts receivable, less allowances	$	1,105,085		$	1,419,445		$	(314,360	)		(22.1	%)
Contract assets	$	61,783		$	57,833		$	3,950			6.8	%
Contract liabilities - short-term		(47,548	)		(44,996	)		(2,552	)		5.7	%
Net Contract Assets	$	14,235		$	12,837		$	1,398

The $1.4 million increase in our net contract assets from May 31, 2024 to February 28, 2025, resulted primarily due to the timing of construction jobs in progress at February 28, 2025 versus May 31, 2024. During the three- and nine-month periods ending February 28, 2025, we recognized $6.1 million and $39.2 million of revenue, which was included in contract liabilities as of May 31, 2024. During the three- and nine-month periods ending February 29, 2024, we recognized $6.4 million and $34.9 million of revenue, which was included in contract liabilities as of May 31, 2023.

We also record long-term deferred revenue, which amounted to $83.5 million and $81.7 million as of February 28, 2025 and May 31, 2024, respectively. The long-term portion of deferred revenue is related to warranty contracts and is included in other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We have elected to adopt the practical expedient to not disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of the end of the reporting period for performance obligations that are part of a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less.

We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. As our contract terms are primarily one year or less in duration, we have elected to apply a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs include our internal sales force compensation program and certain incentive programs as we have determined annual compensation is commensurate with annual sales activities.

Allowance for Credit Losses

Our primary allowance for credit losses is the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reduces the trade accounts receivable balance to the estimated net realizable value equal to the amount that is expected to be collected. The allowance was based on assessments of current creditworthiness of customers, historical collection experience, the aging of receivables and other currently available evidence. Trade accounts receivable balances are written-off against the allowance if a final determination of uncollectibility is made. All provisions for allowances for doubtful collection of accounts are included in SG&A expenses.

The following tables summarize the activity for the allowance for credit losses for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024:

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

NOTE 16 — SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate a portfolio of businesses and product lines that manufacture and sell a variety of specialty paints, protective coatings, roofing systems, flooring solutions, sealants, cleaners and adhesives. We manage our portfolio by organizing our businesses and product lines into four reportable segments as outlined below, which also represent our operating segments. Within each operating segment, we manage product lines and businesses which generally address common markets, share similar economic characteristics, utilize similar technologies and can share manufacturing or distribution capabilities. Our four operating segments represent components of our business for which separate financial information is available that is utilized on a regular basis by our chief operating decision maker in determining how to allocate the assets of the company and evaluate performance. These four operating segments are each managed by an operating segment manager, who is responsible for the day-to-day operating decisions and performance evaluation of the operating segment’s underlying businesses. We evaluate the profit performance of our segments primarily based on income before income taxes, but also look to earnings (loss) before interest and taxes (“EBIT”), as a performance evaluation measure because interest (income) expense, net is essentially related to corporate functions, as opposed to segment operations.

Our CPG reportable segment products and services are sold throughout North America and also account for a significant portion of our international sales. Our construction product lines are sold directly to manufacturers, contractors, distributors and end-users, including industrial manufacturing facilities, concrete and cement producers, public institutions and other commercial customers. Products and services within this reportable segment include construction sealants and adhesives, coatings and chemicals, roofing systems, concrete admixture and repair products, building envelope solutions, parking decks, insulated cladding, firestopping, flooring systems, and weatherproofing solutions.

Our PCG reportable segment products and services are sold throughout North America, as well as internationally, and are sold directly to contractors, distributors and end-users, such as industrial manufacturing facilities, public institutions and other commercial customers. Products and services within this reportable segment include high-performance flooring solutions, corrosion control and fireproofing coatings, infrastructure repair systems and fiberglass reinforced plastic structures.

Our Consumer reportable segment manufactures and markets professional use and do-it-yourself ("DIY") products for a variety of mainly residential applications, including home improvement and personal leisure activities. Our Consumer reportable segment’s major manufacturing and distribution operations are located primarily in North America, along with a few locations in Europe, Australia and South America. Our Consumer reportable segment products are primarily sold directly to mass merchandisers, home improvement centers, hardware stores, paint stores, craft shops and through distributors. The Consumer reportable segment offers products that include specialty, hobby and professional paints; caulks; adhesives; cleaners; sandpaper and other abrasives; silicone sealants and wood stains.

Our SPG reportable segment products are sold throughout North America and internationally, primarily in Europe. Our SPG product lines are sold directly to contractors, distributors and end-users, such as industrial manufacturing facilities, public institutions and other commercial customers. The SPG reportable segment offers products that include restoration services equipment, colorants, nail enamels, factory applied industrial coatings, preservation products, and edible coatings and specialty glazes for pharmaceutical and food industries.

In addition to our four reportable segments, there is a category of certain business activities and expenses, referred to as corporate/other, that does not constitute an operating segment. This category includes our corporate headquarters and related administrative expenses, results of our captive insurance companies, gains or losses on the sales of certain assets and other expenses not directly associated with any reportable segment. Assets related to the corporate/other category consist primarily of investments, prepaid expenses and headquarters’ property and equipment. These corporate and other assets and expenses reconcile reportable segment data to total consolidated income before income taxes and identifiable assets.

We reflect income from our joint ventures on the equity method and receive royalties from our licensees.

The following tables present a disaggregation of revenues by geography, and the results of our reportable segments consistent with our management philosophy, by representing the information we utilize, in conjunction with various strategic, operational and other financial performance criteria, in evaluating the performance of our portfolio of businesses.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]

Consolidation, Noncontrolling Interests and Basis of Presentation

CONSOLIDATION, NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2024.

Our financial statements include all of our majority-owned subsidiaries. We account for our investments in less-than-majority-owned joint ventures, for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, under the equity method. Effects of transactions between related companies are eliminated in consolidation.

Noncontrolling interests are presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements as if parent company investors (controlling interests) and other minority investors (noncontrolling interests) in partially-owned subsidiaries have similar economic interests in a single entity. As a result, investments in noncontrolling interests are reported as equity in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, our Consolidated Financial Statements include 100% of a controlled subsidiary’s earnings, rather than only our share. Transactions between the parent company and noncontrolling interests are reported in equity as transactions between stockholders, provided that these transactions do not create a change in control.

Our business is dependent on external weather factors. Historically, we have experienced strong sales and net income in our first, second and fourth fiscal quarters comprising the three-month periods ending August 31, November 30, and May 31, respectively, with weaker performance in our third fiscal quarter (December through February).

New Pronouncements Adopted and Issued

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

New Pronouncements Adopted

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2022-04, "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50)," which is intended to establish disclosures that enhance the transparency of a supplier finance program used by an entity in connection with the purchase of goods and services. This guidance requires annual and interim disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supplier finance programs, the amount outstanding under such programs including where they are recorded on the balance sheet, and a roll-forward of the related obligations. The new standard does not affect the recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of the supplier finance program obligations. These amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on roll-forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We adopted the new standard on June 1, 2023, on a retrospective basis other than the roll-forward guidance, which we plan to adopt on a prospective basis beginning with our fiscal 2025 annual financial statements. As of adoption on June 1, 2023, we did not have any material supplier finance program obligations; however, we began such an arrangement during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Refer to Note 14, “Supply Chain Financing,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

New Pronouncements Issued

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, " Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)." Additionally, in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The standard provides guidance to expand disclosures related to the disaggregation of income statement expenses. The standard requires, in the notes to the financial statements, disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses which includes purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, on a retrospective or prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating this ASU to determine its impact on our disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which requires a public business entity to disclose specific categories in its annual effective tax rate reconciliation and disaggregated information about significant reconciling items by jurisdiction and by nature. The ASU also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments (net of refunds) to international, federal, and state and local jurisdictions. The guidance makes several other changes to income tax disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective or prospective basis.

(1) The dilutive effect of performance-based restricted stock units is included when they have met minimum performance thresholds. The dilutive effect of SARs includes all outstanding awards except awards that are considered antidilutive. SARs are antidilutive when the exercise price exceeds the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the periods presented. For the three and nine months ended February 28, 2025, approximately 190,000 and 170,000 shares of stock, respectively, granted under stock-based compensation plans were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, approximately 300,000 and 250,000 shares of stock, respectively, granted under stock-based compensation plans were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

[1] The dilutive effect of performance-based restricted stock units is included when they have met minimum performance thresholds. The dilutive effect of SARs includes all outstanding awards except awards that are considered antidilutive. SARs are antidilutive when the exercise price exceeds the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the periods presented. For the three and nine months ended February 28, 2025, approximately 190,000 and 170,000 shares of stock, respectively, granted under stock-based compensation plans were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS, as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
