U.S. and Canada Architectural Coatings Business
In 2024, PPG completed the sale of 100% of its architectural coatings business in the U.S. and Canada to American Industrial Partners (AIP), an industrials investor. PPG received $516 million in proceeds and recorded a loss on the sale of $285 million. No tax benefit was recorded on the loss. The loss on the sale was recorded in “Income/(loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax” in the consolidated statement of income. The proceeds from the sale were recorded in “Cash from/(used for) investing activities - discontinued operations” in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
The sale represented a strategic shift in PPG’s business portfolio that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, the Company’s consolidated results of operations and cash flows were recast to present the results of the architectural coatings business in the U.S. and Canada as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The results of the U.S. and Canada architectural coatings business were previously included in the Performance Coatings segment.
The operating results of discontinued operations related to the U.S. and Canada architectural coatings business for the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 were as follows:

The following table presents the significant non-cash items and capital expenditures for the discontinued operations related to the U.S. and Canada architectural coatings business that are included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023:

Capital expenditures$— $10 $33 
In conjunction with the divestiture of U.S. and Canada architectural coatings business, PPG entered into a supply agreement with the divested business to sell certain products, which are recognized as Net sales in the refinish coatings, industrial coatings and protective and marine coatings businesses. Additionally, PPG entered into transition services agreements to provide administrative services subsequent to the sale. The fees for services rendered under the transition services agreements are expected to offset the cost of providing those services.
Silicas Products Business
In 2024, PPG completed the sale of its silicas products business for $325 million in proceeds and recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of $129 million. The gain on the sale was recorded in “Other charges/(income), net” in the consolidated statement of income. The Company determined that the divestiture did not meet the criteria of a discontinued operation as it did not represent a strategic shift for the Company, and therefore, its historical results are included in the Company's continuing operations within the Industrial Coatings reportable business segment.
