CEO REMARKS
“Sherwin-Williams delivered strong fourth quarter results despite continued demand choppiness in the majority of our end markets,” said Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer, Heidi G. Petz. “Consolidated Net sales grew by a low-single digit percentage, and gross margin improved slightly year-over-year. We expanded adjusted segment margin in all three segments, and adjusted diluted earnings per share and EBITDA grew by double-digit percentages. In our architectural business, residential repaint significantly outgrew the market and increased by a high-single digit percentage as we continued to see a return on prior growth investments. We delivered low-single digit percentage growth in new residential driven by continued above-market growth. Sales in our industrial businesses were led by double-digit percentage growth in Packaging and low-single digit percentage growth in Coil. For the full year, Net sales grew slightly to a record $23.10 billion, as above-market growth in the Paint Stores Group offset softness in our other segments, and gross margin expanded 180 basis points to 48.5%. Adjusted diluted earnings per share grew 9.5% to a record $11.33 per share. We continued to generate strong cash flow and returned $2.46 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases.”

Consolidated Net sales increased primarily due to higher sales in the Paint Stores Group. This increase was partially offset by lower sales in the Consumer Brands and Performance Coatings Groups as well as 1.3% unfavorable foreign currency translation.
Income before income taxes increased primarily due to higher Net sales, lower provisions for environmental matters recorded in the Administrative function and higher other income. In addition, foreign currency losses specific to the devaluation of the Argentine peso (Argentine Devaluation) and impairment related to trademarks recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023 did not occur in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Diluted net income per share included a charge of $0.19 per share for acquisition-related amortization expense in both the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023. In the fourth quarter of 2023, diluted net income per share also included charges of $0.16 per share related to the Argentine Devaluation and $0.07 per share associated with impairment related to trademarks.

Adjusted segment profit equals Segment profit excluding the impact of Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense, the Argentine Devaluation and impairment related to trademarks. In CBG, Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense was $15.4 million and $16.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the loss related to the Argentine Devaluation and the impairment related to trademarks were $30.8 million and $23.9 million, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2023. |
Net sales in CBG decreased primarily due to a 5.5% impact from unfavorable foreign currency translation in Latin America, partially offset by modest sales volume growth and selling price increases, which impacted Net sales by a low-single digit percentage. CBG Segment profit increased primarily due to non-recurring expenses recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023, including the Argentine Devaluation and impairment related to trademarks, as well as effective cost control in the fourth quarter of 2024. These increases were partially offset by lower Net sales.
Acquisition-related amortization expense reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net sales by 230 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to 240 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2023. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the loss related to the Argentine Devaluation and the impairment related to trademarks reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net sales by 450 basis points and 340 basis points, respectively.

In PCG, Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense was $48.9 million and $47.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the loss related to the Argentine Devaluation was $11.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. |
Net sales in PCG decreased primarily due to a 1.7% impact from unfavorable foreign currency translation. Low-single digit percentage sales volume growth was offset by the impact of selling price decreases, primarily attributable to product mix. Performance was led by Packaging, which increased in all regions and by a low-double digit percentage overall, and Coil, offset by a decrease in General Industrial. PCG Segment profit increased primarily as a result of the Argentine Devaluation that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023, partially offset by lower Net sales.
Acquisition-related amortization expense reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net sales by 310 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to 300 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2023. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the loss related to the Argentine Devaluation reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net sales by 70 basis points.
LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW
The Company generated $3.15 billion in Net operating cash and returned cash of $2.46 billion to our shareholders in the form of dividends and repurchases of 5.2 million shares of its common stock during the year. At December 31, 2024, the Company had remaining authorization to purchase 34.4 million shares of its common stock through open market purchases.

“We enter 2025 with confidence in our differentiated strategy that continues to deliver innovative and productive solutions for our customers,” said Ms. Petz. “We expect demand softness to persist in several end markets well into the second half of the year, if not into 2026. At the same time, we have significant above-market growth opportunities in every one of our businesses. We will pursue these opportunities aggressively and relentlessly, leveraging our world-class team, recent growth investments and unique assets. We will support our profitable above-market growth plans and further separate ourselves from our competitors by executing initiatives within our enterprise priorities, including talent, simplification, digitization, supply chain responsiveness and sustainability.
“Based on customer sentiment and the macro-economic indicators we see at this time, we expect first quarter 2025 consolidated Net sales will be up or down a low-single digit percentage compared to the first quarter of 2024 with the Paint Stores Group at or above the high end of that range. For the full year 2025, we expect consolidated Net sales to be up a low-single digit percentage with the Paint Stores Group at or above the high end of that range. We expect to see full-year gross margin expansion driven by price-cost discipline and efficiency gains. We will work to control spending tightly, and we expect growth in SG&A to moderate to a low-single digit level. Costs associated with the transition into our new buildings in the year are expected to be $100 million, comprised of $80 million in SG&A and $20 million of interest. In addition, refinancing activity associated with managing our 2024 and 2025 debt maturities is expected to increase interest expense by approximately $40 million. Given these assumptions, we expect adjusted diluted net income per share will be in the range of $11.65 to $12.05 per share, which represents 4.6% growth from 2024 at the mid-point. Should the demand environment prove to be more robust than we are currently anticipating, we would expect to leverage higher volume to drive this initial earnings guidance upward.”

Regulation G Reconciliations
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 earnings per share measurement is not in accordance with US GAAP. It should not be considered a substitute for 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 income taxes and Interest expense, 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 or Net operating cash as an indicator of operating performance or as a measure of liquidity. The following table reconciles Net income computed in accordance with US GAAP to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as applicable.
