RPM Reports Record 2026 Q4 & Full-Year Results

RPM International Inc. reported financial results for its fiscal 2026 fourth quarter and full year ended May 31, 2026.

Frank C. Sullivan, RPM chairman and CEO, commented, “Once again, our associates achieved record results for the quarter and full year during a volatile economic period. In the fourth quarter, we generated strong sales, including volume growth, by focusing on our restoration and maintenance solutions, nimbly targeting growing end markets, and winning a higher share of construction project spending through system sales and increased collaboration. Additionally, our talented emerging markets teams drove double-digit sales growth. This growth allowed us to leverage our operational improvements to expand margins in an inflationary environment. The fourth quarter represents the 16th time we have generated record adjusted EBIT out of the past 18 quarters, due in large part to the structural improvements our MAP operating improvement program has created within our organization.”

RPM reached record fourth-quarter sales of $2.23 billion, which increased 7.2% compared to the prior year. Also, fourth-quarter net income reached $221.2 million.

Geographically, emerging markets generated double-digit growth fueled by strong demand for engineered solutions for high-performance buildings and infrastructure projects. 

Solid North American growth was driven by turnkey and system solutions for high-performance buildings. Growth in Europe was primarily driven by acquisitions.

For the full year of fiscal 2026, sales increased 6.7% to $7.86 billion, compared to the prior-year record. Fiscal 2026 net income was $661.4 million.

Fiscal year 2026 sales were a record driven by strong demand for engineered solutions for high-performance buildings and infrastructure projects and contributions from acquired businesses, partially offset by softness in DIY markets.
