CEO REMARKS
“Sherwin-Williams third quarter performance demonstrated the resilience of our Company and the strength of our strategy in a challenging demand environment. Despite muted underlying market volumes, we continued to win new customers, increase share-of-wallet and deliver sales growth across all three reportable segments, at or above our guidance, supported by the differentiated value and productivity our solutions deliver to customers. At the same time, we took disciplined pricing and cost actions to address inflationary pressures, thoughtfully timed with our customers in mind,” said Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, Heidi G. Petz. “Gross margin was primarily impacted in the quarter by higher raw material and supply chain related costs and by mix, including dilution from Suvinil and higher growth in lower margin reportable segments. Excluding the dilutive impact of the Suvinil acquisition, our year-to-date gross margin is flat compared to the prior year. SG&A as a percent of sales decreased in the quarter, as we continue to identify and implement efficiencies throughout our Company. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share both grew over last year’s third quarter levels. We returned $749.0 million to shareholders in the quarter through dividends and share repurchases. Our team remains focused on serving our customers and controlling what we can control to continue top and bottom-line growth.”

Consolidated Net sales increased primarily due to higher Net sales in all reportable segments, inclusive of the October 2025 acquisition of Suvinil, and selling price increases, which impacted Net sales by a mid-single digit percentage.
Income before income taxes increased slightly due to an increase in Net sales, partially offset by higher raw material and supply chain related costs, incremental selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses associated with Suvinil and higher costs in the Administrative function related to additional interest expense attributable to an increase in debt.
Diluted net income per share included a charge of $0.21 and $0.20 per share for Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Diluted net income per share also included a charge of $0.04 per share related to severance and other restructuring expenses in both the third quarter of 2026 and 2025.

Same-store sales represents Net sales from stores open more than twelve calendar months.
Net sales in PSG increased primarily due to selling price increases, which impacted Net sales by a mid-single digit percentage, as well as low-single digit percentage sales volume growth. Net sales increased in all professional customer end markets, led by a double digit percentage increase in protective and marine, a high-single digit percentage increase in commercial and a mid-single digit percentage increase in residential repaint. Segment profit increased primarily due to higher Net sales, partially offset by higher raw material and supply chain related costs and increased costs to support higher sales, including investments in additional sales reps and stores.

Adjusted segment profit equals Segment profit excluding the impact of Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense and severance and other restructuring expenses. In CBG, Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense was $15.5 million and $15.6 million in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and severance and other restructuring expenses were $9.7 million
and
$6.4 million in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Net sales in CBG increased primarily as a result of the acquisition of Suvinil, favorable foreign currency translation and a positive shift in mix, partially offset by soft demand in North America. Segment profit decreased primarily due to higher raw material and supply chain costs, incremental SG&A expenses associated with the Suvinil acquisition and unfavorable foreign currency transaction gains and losses, partially offset by higher Net sales. Adjusted segment profit decreased for these same reasons.
Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net sales by 170 and 200 basis points in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Severance and other restructuring expenses reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net sales by 100 and
90 basis points in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Adjusted segment profit equals Segment profit excluding the impact of Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense and severance and other restructuring expenses. In PCG, Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense was $49.8 million and $49.5 million in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and severance and other restructuring expenses were $3.7 million and
$5.1 million in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Net sales in PCG increased primarily due to selling price increases, which impacted Net sales by a mid-single digit percentage, and low-single digit percentage sales volume growth. Net sales increased in all businesses, led by General Industrial, Packaging and Coil, which each increased by a double digit percentage, and Industrial Wood and Automotive Refinish, which each increased by a low-single digit percentage. Segment profit increased primarily due to higher Net sales, partially offset by higher raw material and supply chain related costs and an increase in employee-related costs to support higher sales. Adjusted segment profit increased for these same reasons, including a slight decrease in the expenses associated with targeted restructuring actions in the third quarter of 2026.
Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net sales by 260 and 290 basis points in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Severance and other restructuring expenses reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net sales by 20 and 30 basis points in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW
The Company generated $2.59 billion in Net operating cash and returned cash of $2.98 billion to our shareholders in the form of dividends and repurchases of 7.1 million shares of its common stock during the first nine months of 2026.

“Customer sentiment and the leading indicators we track point to muted demand over the remainder of the year and into 2027. As we navigate this environment, our focus remains clear: win in the marketplace, serve our customers, offset inflation, reduce costs and continue to deliver profitable growth and shareholder value,” said Ms. Petz.
“Against this backdrop, we expect fourth quarter 2026 consolidated Net sales to increase by a mid-single digit percentage compared to the fourth quarter of 2025, resulting in us maintaining our full year 2026 sales guidance where consolidated Net sales are expected to be up a mid to high-single digit percentage compared to full year 2025. Diluted net income per share is expected to be in the range of $10.92 to $11.22 per share, including acquisition-related amortization expense of $0.82 per share and severance and other restructuring expenses of $0.11 per share, compared to $10.26 per share in 2025. Full year 2026 adjusted diluted net income per share is expected to be in the range of $11.85 to $12.15 per share compared to $11.43 per share in 2025. We remain highly confident in our ability to deliver through current conditions while building an even stronger Sherwin-Williams for the future.”

Management of the Company utilizes certain financial measures that are not in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) to analyze and manage the performance of the business. Management provides non-GAAP information in reporting its financial results to give investors additional data to evaluate the Company’s operations. Management does not, nor does it suggest investors should, consider such non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or in substitution for, financial information prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
Management believes that investors’ understanding of the Company’s operating performance is enhanced by the disclosure of diluted net income per share excluding Valspar acquisition-related amortization and certain other adjustments. Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense is excluded from diluted net income per share due to its significance as a result of the purchase price assigned to finite-lived intangible assets at the date of acquisition and the related impact on underlying business performance and trends. While these intangible assets contribute to the Company’s revenue generation, the related revenue is not excluded. This adjusted diluted earnings per share measurement is not in accordance with US GAAP. It should not be considered a substitute for diluted earnings per share computed in accordance with US GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The following tables reconcile diluted net income per share computed in accordance with US GAAP to adjusted diluted net income per share.

Acquisition-related amortization expense, which is included within Selling, general and administrative expenses, consists of the amortization of intangible assets related to the Valspar acquisition. These intangible assets are primarily customer relationships and intellectual property and are being amortized over their remaining useful lives.

Management believes that investors’ understanding of the Company’s operating performance is enhanced by the disclosure of EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as Net income before Interest expense, Income taxes, depreciation and amortization, as well as Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes certain adjustments that management further believes enhances investors’ understanding of the Company’s operating performance. The reader is cautioned that the Company’s EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be compared to other entities unknowingly. Further, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to Net income as an indicator of operating performance. The following table reconciles Net income computed in accordance with US GAAP to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as applicable.
