RPM reported record financial performance and positive growth across all segments, driven by strategic operating improvements and market outperformance. However, the company faces challenges from customer bankruptcies, adverse weather, and macroeconomic headwinds, particularly in Europe. Despite these challenges, RPM maintains a positive outlook for the year, supported by MAP 2025 benefits and a strong balance sheet.

Company Guidance

During the RPM International Q2 2025 earnings call, the company reported record sales, adjusted EBIT margin, and adjusted EPS, despite facing a $4.4 million earnings headwind due to a customer bankruptcy. The adjusted EBIT margin reached a record 13.8%, with adjusted EPS increasing by 13.9% to $1.39. RPM's MAP 2025 initiatives played a significant role, contributing to a 7.7% growth in adjusted EBIT and enabling the company to reduce working capital as a percentage of sales by 100 basis points from the previous year. Cash flow from operations was strong at $279 million, the second-highest in the company's history. Despite the challenging macroeconomic environment and unfavorable weather conditions impacting some segments, RPM maintained its full-year sales growth outlook in the low single digits, with an adjusted EBIT growth range narrowed to 6% to 10%. The company anticipates continued MAP 2025 benefits and expects sales and earnings growth to resume in the fourth quarter.
