PPG reports fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results

Key Terms

organic sales financial

Organic sales are the change in a company’s revenue that comes from its existing business operations, excluding effects of acquisitions, divestitures, and currency swings. Think of it like measuring how much a garden grows from the plants you already tended, rather than adding new pots; investors use organic sales to judge whether demand and core business performance are genuinely improving or if growth is driven by one‑time deals or accounting shifts.

segment margin financial

Segment margin measures how much profit a particular business unit or division keeps from its own sales after the costs directly tied to that unit are taken out, usually expressed as a percentage of that unit’s revenue. Think of each division as a separate shop: segment margin shows which shops are making and keeping more money from their sales. Investors use it to compare divisions’ efficiency, spot stronger or weaker areas, and decide where growth or cuts might improve overall company returns.

segment ebitda margin financial

Segment EBITDA margin measures how much profit a particular business unit or product line generates from its own revenue after subtracting the direct operating costs, but before interest, taxes and certain accounting charges. Think of it like the share of each dollar from one shop in a chain that remains after paying the shop’s day-to-day expenses; investors use it to compare efficiency across parts of a company and to judge which units drive value or pose risk.

net debt financial

Net debt is the total amount a company owes after subtracting the cash and assets it has that can be used to pay off that debt. It shows how much debt is truly a burden, helping investors understand if a company is financially healthy or heavily borrowed. Think of it like calculating how much money you owe after using your savings to pay part of it.

operating cash flow financial

Operating cash flow is the amount of money a company earns from its main business activities, like selling products or services. It shows how well the company can generate cash to pay bills, invest in growth, or return money to shareholders. This figure helps investors understand if the company’s core operations are healthy and sustainable.

rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory

A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a pre-arranged schedule that allows company insiders to buy or sell stock at specific times, even if they have inside information. It helps prevent accusations of unfair trading by making these transactions look planned and transparent, rather than sneaky or illegal.

phantom stock units financial

Phantom stock units are company promises that pay a cash or stock-equivalent award tied to the firm’s share price or value growth, but they do not issue actual shares. Think of them as a bonus check that moves with the stock like a mirror rather than handing over an ownership slice. Investors care because these awards can affect a company’s future cash obligations, executive incentives and reported expenses without causing share dilution.

restricted stock units financial

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

Chairman and CEO Comments

Tim Knavish, PPG chairman and chief executive officer, commented on the quarter and year:

In the fourth quarter, we accelerated our growth momentum by delivering 3% growth in organic sales, our highest performance in any quarter this year, with contributions from sales volume and selling prices, and all regions delivering sales volume growth.

Results for our Global Architectural Coatings segment improved sequentially each quarter of 2025, with organic sales growth of 2% in the fourth quarter as project-related sales in Mexico recovered sequentially and retail sales were strong. Overall demand in Europe remained mixed.

Performance Coatings segment organic sales grew 3% in the quarter as strong results in aerospace coatings and protective and marine coatings were partially offset by lower automotive refinish coatings demand, reflecting customer order patterns that were weighted toward the first half of the year. Fourth quarter pricing improved 4% year over year as a result of strong demand for our technology-advantaged products and services.

Industrial Coatings segment organic sales grew 4% year over year due to share gains. This was evident as we outpaced industry production in automotive original equipment manufacturer (OEM) coatings, industrial coatings, and especially in packaging coatings where we delivered double-digit volume growth in the quarter.

For the full year, we consistently delivered higher sales volumes and selling prices resulting in 2% organic sales growth. This strong performance was led by double-digit percentage growth in aerospace coatings and protective and marine coatings, and high single-digit percentage growth in packaging coatings. Additionally, our Performance Coatings segment delivered record sales and earnings.

In 2025, the company's decisive actions to reduce global structural costs have yielded benefits of $75 million, and we expect incremental restructuring savings of $50 million in 2026 as we execute our European manufacturing consolidation and other structural cost reductions.

Fourth quarter adjusted EPS was $1.51, and full-year 2025 adjusted EPS was $7.58. During the quarter, we repurchased approximately $100 million of stock and $790 million for the full year, which represented approximately 3% of our outstanding shares. Combined with our dividend, we returned $1.4 billion to our shareholders in 2025. We generated $1.9 billion in operating cash flow during 2025 and ended the year with $2.2 billion of cash and short-term investments, which provides us with ongoing financial flexibility to create increased value for shareholders.

Looking ahead, I am encouraged by our organic growth momentum and what we will achieve in 2026. We anticipate that demand in Europe and in global industrial end-use markets will remain challenged. Despite the macroeconomic environment, we expect growth will be driven by aerospace coatings and architectural coatings in Mexico as well as share gains in our Industrial Coatings segment, resulting in organic sales growth in the flat to a positive low single-digit percentage range and earnings per share growth of a mid-single-digit percentage for the year. This reflects the strength of our focused organization and our sharpened portfolio of technology-advantaged products and services.

The meaningful progress we made this year would not be possible without the dedication of our employees. Thank you to our PPG team around the world who make it happen and deliver on our purpose every day: We protect and beautify the world®.

• In the fourth quarter, the reported effective tax rate was approximately 20% and the adjusted effective tax rate was approximately 24%.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Reportable Segment Financial Results

Global Architectural Coatings segment

$ in millions	4Q 2025	4Q 2024	YOY change
Net sales	$951	$881	+8%
Sales volumes			—%
Selling prices			+2%

Segment income	$137	$118	+16%
Segment income %	14.4%	13.4%
Segment EBITDA (a)	$164	$144	+14%
Segment EBITDA %	17.2%	16.3%
(a) Reconciliations of reported to adjusted figures are included below

Global Architectural Coatings segment net sales increased 8% compared to the fourth quarter 2024, driven by higher selling prices and favorable foreign currency translation. This was partially offset by the divestiture of our architectural coatings business in Russia. Sales volume growth in Mexico was offset by declines in Europe.

Organic sales for architectural coatings Latin America and Asia Pacific increased by a high single-digit percentage compared to the prior-year fourth quarter driven by growth in Latin America. Organic sales for architectural coatings EMEA declined by a low single-digit percentage year over year, with higher selling prices more than offset by lower sales volumes. In Mexico, retail sales were strong in the quarter, and project-related sales continued to recover sequentially versus previous quarters this year. The company expects incremental improvements in the Mexican business and governmental project investment in the first quarter 2026.

Segment EBITDA increased by 14% versus the prior year, and segment EBITDA margin increased 90 basis points year over year primarily due to higher selling prices, favorable foreign currency translation driven by the Mexican peso, and cost-control actions partially offset by inflation.

Performance Coatings segment

$ in millions	4Q 2025	4Q 2024	YOY change
Net sales	$1,322	$1,262	+5%
Sales volumes			(1)%
Selling prices			+4%

Segment EBITDA (a)	$279	$292	(4)%
Segment EBITDA %	21.1%	23.1%
(a) Reconciliations of reported to adjusted figures are included below

Performance Coatings segment net sales increased 5% driven by higher selling prices and favorable foreign currency translation partially offset by lower sales volumes.

Organic sales improved 3% led by growth in aerospace coatings and protective and marine coatings. Aerospace coatings achieved record fourth quarter sales with double-digit percentage organic sales growth, while our order backlog increased to approximately $315 million despite higher year-over-year output. Organic sales in automotive refinish coatings decreased by a high single-digit percentage as sales volumes were lower, reflecting customer order patterns stemming from distributors weighting their purchases to the first half of 2025. Protective and marine coatings organic sales increased by a double-digit percentage compared to the prior year and achieved its 11th consecutive quarter of sales volume growth, including above-market marine sales volume growth in Asia Pacific. Traffic solutions organic sales declined a low single-digit percentage year over year in a seasonally slow quarter.

Segment EBITDA decreased by 4% versus the prior year, and segment EBITDA margin declined 200 basis points year over year to 21.1%, driven by lower automotive refinish coatings sales volumes and higher growth-related investment spending in aerospace coatings and protective and marine coatings partially offset by higher selling prices and improved manufacturing productivity.

Industrial Coatings segment

$ in millions	4Q 2025	4Q 2024	YOY change
Net sales	$1,641	$1,586	+3%
Sales volumes			+5%
Selling prices			(1)%

Divestitures and other			(3)%
Segment income	$200	$185	+8%
Segment income %	12.2%	11.7%
Segment EBITDA (a)	$247	$234	+6%
Segment EBITDA %	15.1%	14.8%
(a) Reconciliations of reported to adjusted figures are included below

Industrial Coatings segment net sales increased 3% compared to the fourth quarter 2024. Sales volumes improved 5%, reflecting the benefits from share gains. The impact of lower selling prices from certain index-based customer contracts was more than offset by favorable foreign currency translation. The divestiture of the silicas products business in late 2024 impacted the year-over-year sales comparison by 3%.

Automotive OEM coatings net sales increased 6% due to above-market sales volume growth as we outpaced the global automotive industry for the second consecutive quarter. Industrial coatings organic sales were flat as sales volume growth in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region offset lower indexed-based pricing. Packaging coatings organic sales increased by a double-digit percentage year over year, driven by technology-advantaged share gains.

Segment EBITDA increased 6%, and segment EBITDA margin improved by 30 basis points compared to the fourth quarter 2024 driven by higher sales volumes and improved productivity, partially offset by lower selling prices due to index-based contracts and the absence of earnings due to the divestiture of the silicas products business.

Full-Year 2025 Financial Results

$ in millions, except EPS	2025	2024	YOY change
Net sales	$15,875	$15,845	—%
Net income (a)	$1,571	$1,344	+17%

(a) From continuing operations
(b) Reconciliations of reported to adjusted figures are included below

Full-year 2025 net sales were $15.9 billion, flat versus the prior year, with a 1% increase in sales volumes, a 1% increase in selling prices, and favorable foreign currency translation of 1%, while divestitures reduced net sales by 3%.

In a challenging macro environment, the company delivered adjusted EPS of $7.58, supported by sales of our technology-advantaged products and strong brands, as we delivered record results in several of our businesses, including aerospace coatings, protective and marine coatings, and packaging coatings.

In 2025, the company paid approximately $630 million in dividends. The company repurchased $790 million of stock in 2025 and ended the year with $2 billion remaining on its current share repurchase authorization. Capital expenditures totaled about $780 million.

Outlook

The company anticipates that adjusted earnings per share for the full-year 2026 will be in the range of $7.70 to $8.10, which at the mid-point represents EPS growth of a mid-single-digit percentage. This range is based on current global economic activity and foreign exchange rates, ongoing soft global industrial production, and mixed demand across the various regions where we operate. The company anticipates organic sales to be in the range of flat to low single-digit percentage growth for the full year. EPS growth is expected to be weighted toward the second half of 2026, with the first half of the year flat to low single-digit percentage growth and increasing to high single-digit percentage growth in the second half of the year.

Additional information related to 2026 financial projections is posted within the slides and prepared commentary associated with the fourth quarter earnings documents on the Investors section of PPG.com.

The term organic sales as used in this press release is defined as net sales excluding the impact of currency, acquisitions and divestitures.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements contained herein relating to matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements reflecting PPG’s current view with respect to future events and financial performance. These matters within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, involve risks and uncertainties that may affect PPG’s operations, as discussed in the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained herein. Such factors include statements related to earnings guidance, global economic conditions, geopolitical issues, the amount of future share repurchases, increasing price and product competition by our competitors, fluctuations in cost and availability of raw materials, energy, labor and logistics, the ability to achieve selling price increases, margins, share gains, customer inventory levels, PPG inventory levels, the ability to maintain favorable supplier relationships and arrangements, the timing of realization of anticipated cost savings from restructuring and other initiatives, the ability to identify additional cost savings opportunities, the timing and expected benefits of potential future and completed acquisitions, difficulties in integrating acquired businesses and achieving expected synergies therefrom, economic and political conditions in international markets, the imposition and magnitude of tariffs, the ability to penetrate existing, developing and emerging foreign and domestic markets, foreign exchange rates and fluctuations in such rates, fluctuations in tax rates, the impact of future legislation, the impact of environmental regulations, unexpected business disruptions, global human health issues, the unpredictability of existing and possible future litigation, including asbestos litigation, and governmental investigations. However, it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, while the list of factors presented here and in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K are considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, lower sales or earnings, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on PPG’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

All information in this release speaks only as of January 27, 2026, and any distribution of this release after that date is not intended and will not be construed as updating or confirming such information. PPG undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Regulation G Reconciliation

PPG believes investors’ understanding of the company’s performance is enhanced by the disclosure of net income, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations, PPG’s effective tax rate adjusted for certain items, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and segment EBITDA. PPG’s management considers this information useful in providing insight into the company’s ongoing performance because it excludes the impact of items that cannot reasonably be expected to recur on a quarterly basis or that are not attributable to our primary operations. Net income, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations and the effective tax rate adjusted for these items, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and segment EBITDA are not recognized financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and should not be considered a substitute for net income, earnings per diluted share, the effective tax rate, segment income or other financial measures as computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share, the adjusted effective tax rate, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by other companies. PPG is not able to provide a reconciliation of full-year 2026 expected adjusted earnings per diluted share to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable effort because certain items that impact such measure are uncertain or cannot be reasonably predicted at this time.
