Net income of $256.4 million and diluted EPS of $2.01

MEDINA, OH – October 6, 2026 – RPM International Inc. (NYSE:

RPM), a world leader in specialty coatings, sealants and building materials, today reported financial results for its fiscal 2027 first quarter ended August 31, 2026.

Frank C. Sullivan, RPM Chairman and CEO, said, “The resilience of our associates and business model was on full display in the first quarter as we

generated another quarter of record sales and adjusted EBITDA. Solid organic growth in our Performance Coatings Group and Consumer Group, and a focus on manufacturing, procurement and SG&A efficiencies overcame multiple challenges, including raw

material inflation and a temporary slowdown in our Construction Products Group. This record profitability, combined with improved working capital efficiency, also allowed us to generate another quarter of strong operating cash flow, which we are

using to invest in growth opportunities and reward shareholders with dividends and share repurchases.”

First-Quarter 2027 Consolidated Results

Organization and Reporting Update

Effective

June 1, 2026, the company modified its organizational structure to manage and report certain businesses in Latin America in PCG. The businesses generate approximately $143 million in annual revenue and were previously part of CPG and

Consumer Group. Starting with the first fiscal quarter of 2027, results reflect the updated structure for both current and prior periods presented. These changes have no impact on consolidated results. Recast quarterly results for fiscal year 2026

reflecting this change have been provided in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

Supplemental Segment Information and Reconciliation of Reported to Adjusted Amounts for details.

Record first-quarter sales were driven

by solid organic growth in the PCG and Consumer segments, including pricing to offset inflation. Acquisitions also contributed to the growth.

Geographically, all emerging market regions generated revenue increases above 20%, fueled by strong demand for engineered solutions used in high-performance

buildings and infrastructure projects and the continued expansion of RPM’s Platform model, which leverages shared regional resources to accelerate growth and improve efficiency. North American growth was driven by PCG and Consumer improvement.

Growth in Europe was driven by acquisitions.

Sales included 3.1% organic growth, 1.6% growth from acquisitions net of divestitures, and a 0.1% tailwind

from foreign currency translation.

Adjusted EBITDA increased to a record, driven by higher sales and MAP operational improvement initiatives, including

SG&A optimization. Healthcare expenses were lower compared to the prior year, driven by procurement efforts to lower prescription drug costs. These gains more than offset higher raw material inflation, warranty expenses from a small European

business that is under review for closure, and bad debt expense from a customer bankruptcy.

Record adjusted diluted EPS was primarily driven by improved

adjusted EBITDA.

Lower than expected CPG sales growth was driven by delayed sales resulting from a

slowdown in the healthcare and education markets, as well as supplier raw material availability issues affecting certain products. The Kalzip acquisition and pricing actions in response to inflation offset these headwinds.

Sales included a 1.7% organic decline and 2.5% growth from acquisitions net of divestitures.

Adjusted EBITDA declined due to lower fixed-cost absorption from reduced volumes, raw material inflation driven by supply shortages, a $4.4 million

increase in bad debt expense related to a customer bankruptcy, and a $6.3 million warranty charge at a small European business under review for closure. SG&A optimization initiatives partially offset these headwinds.

Sales included 7.9% organic growth, a 1.8% increase from acquisitions, and a 0.5% benefit from foreign currency translation.

Record adjusted EBITDA was driven by improved sales, higher volumes resulting in improved fixed-cost leverage, and

SG&A-focused optimization actions, partially offset by higher raw material inflation.

The Consumer Group’s record sales were driven by solid growth across all businesses

and were aided by shelf space wins, new product introductions and pricing to offset inflation, which was higher in the quarter.

Sales included 5.2%

organic growth, 0.3% growth from acquisitions, and a 0.2% headwind from foreign currency translation.

The increase in adjusted EBITDA was driven by sales

growth and higher volumes resulting in improved fixed-cost utilization, and was further aided by MAP operational improvements, including SG&A-focused optimization actions.

Income before taxes included a $10.8 million gain on the sale of a facility that was closed as part of RPM’s MAP 2025 program. This gain has been

excluded from adjusted EBITDA.

Cash Flow and Financial Position

During the first three months of fiscal 2027:

•

Cash provided by operating activities was $263.9 million, compared to $237.5 million in the prior-year

period, with the increase driven by improved working capital efficiency.

•

Capital expenditures were $58.5 million compared to $62.5 million in the prior-year period.

•

The company returned $90.5 million to stockholders through cash dividends and share repurchases, an increase

of 10.2% compared to the prior year.

As of August 31, 2026:

•

Total debt was $2.41 billion compared to $2.67 billion a year ago, with the decrease driven by strong

operating cash flow being used to reduce debt.

•

Total liquidity, including cash and committed revolving credit facilities, was $1.21 billion, compared to

$933.4 million a year ago.

Investor Day Webcast Information

The company will host an investor day on November 9, 2026, at its Stonhard facility in New Jersey. Scheduled speakers include Frank Sullivan, RPM Chairman

and CEO; David Dennsteadt, RPM President and COO; Russell Gordon, RPM Vice President and CFO; and Gregory Michael, Performance Coatings Group President. The presentation will be provided prior to the event, and a public webcast will be available at

https://www.rpminc.com/investors/presentations-webcasts/. The webcast is expected to start at approximately 12:00 p.m. ET. A replay of the event will be available.

Volteco Acquisition

As previously announced, the company

acquired Volteco, an Italy-based leading supplier of below-grade waterproofing solutions, for its Construction Products Group. Volteco had calendar year 2025 sales of €28 million.

Business Outlook

Sullivan continued, “Segment

trends in the second quarter are expected to be similar to those in the first with the PCG segment leading growth as it benefits from its success with expanding the Platform emerging-market operating model and good

end-market demand. Continued stabilization in the Consumer Group is also anticipated, while CPG demand remains soft. MAP benefits and selling price increases will help to offset gross margin pressure from

higher inflation and start-up costs at new facilities. In the second half of the year, we expect to benefit from the continued implementation of MAP operational improvements and pricing increases to offset

persistent inflation and more challenging comparisons. We also anticipate that CPG will return to positive organic growth by the end of the year.”

The company’s outlook for the fiscal 2027 second quarter is for:

•

Consolidated sales to increase in the low- to mid-single-digit range compared to prior-year results.

•

CPG sales to increase in the low-single-digit range compared to

prior-year results.

•

PCG sales to increase in the mid- to high-single-digit range compared to

prior-year results.

•

Consumer Group sales to increase in the low- to mid-single-digit range compared to prior-year results.

•

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA to increase in the low- to mid-single-digit range compared to prior-year results.

The company’s outlook for fiscal 2027 is

for:

•

Consolidated sales to increase in the mid-single-digit range compared to

prior-year record results. The previous outlook was for 3% to 7% growth.

•

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA to increase in the mid-single-digit range

compared to prior-year record results. The previous outlook was for 5% to 10% growth.

Use of

Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the financial information presented in accordance with Generally

Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) in this earnings release, we use EBIT, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share, which are all non-GAAP financial

measures. EBIT is defined as earnings (loss) before interest and taxes, with Adjusted EBIT provided for the purpose of adjusting for items impacting earnings that are not considered by management to be indicative of ongoing operations. We evaluate

the profit performance of our segments based on income before income taxes, but also look to EBIT, or adjusted EBIT, as a performance evaluation measure because Interest Income (Expense), Net is essentially related to corporate functions, as opposed

to segment operations. For that reason, we believe EBIT is also useful to investors as a metric in their investment decisions. EBIT should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, income before income taxes as determined in

accordance with GAAP, since EBIT omits the impact of interest and investment income or expense in determining operating performance, which represent items necessary to our continued operations, given our level of indebtedness. Nonetheless, EBIT is a

key measure expected by and useful to our fixed income investors, rating agencies and the banking community all of whom believe, and we concur, that this measure is critical to the capital markets’ analysis of our segments’ core

operating performance. We also evaluate EBIT because it is clear that movements in EBIT impact our ability to attract financing. Additionally, Management believes that investors’ understanding of the Company’s operating performance is

enhanced by the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for

RPM Reports Results for Fiscal 2027 1st Quarter

items impacting earnings that are not considered by management to be indicative of ongoing operations. We evaluate the profit performance of our segments based on income before income taxes, but

also look to adjusted EBITDA, as a performance evaluation measure because Interest Income (Expense), Net is essentially related to corporate functions, as opposed to segment operations. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is an operating measure that

provides investors with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. For these reasons, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is also

useful to investors as a metric in their investment decisions. The reader is cautioned that the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA should not be compared to other entities unknowingly. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more

meaningful than, income before income taxes as determined in accordance with GAAP. EBIT, adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBITDA may not be indicative of our historical operating results, nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. See

the financial statement section of this earnings release for a reconciliation of EBIT, adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBITDA to income before income taxes, and adjusted earnings per share to earnings per share. We have not provided a reconciliation of

our second-quarter and full-year fiscal 2027 adjusted EBITDA guidance because material terms that impact such measure are not in our control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted, and therefore a reconciliation of such measure is not available

without unreasonable effort.

(c)

EBIT is defined as earnings (loss) before interest and taxes, with Adjusted EBIT provided for the purpose of

adjusting for items impacting earnings that are not considered by management to be indicative of ongoing operations. We evaluate the profit performance of our segments based on income before income taxes, but also look to EBIT, or adjusted EBIT, as

a performance evaluation measure because Interest Income (Expense), Net is essentially related to corporate functions, as opposed to segment operations. For that reason, we believe EBIT is also useful to investors as a metric in their investment

decisions. EBIT should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, income before income taxes as determined in accordance with GAAP, since EBIT omits the impact of interest and investment income or expense in determining operating

performance, which represent items necessary to our continued operations, given our level of indebtedness. Nonetheless, EBIT is a key measure expected by and useful to our fixed income investors, rating agencies and the banking community all of whom

believe, and we concur, that this measure is critical to the capital markets’ analysis of our segments’ core operating performance. We also evaluate EBIT because it is clear that movements in EBIT impact our ability to attract financing.

EBIT may not be indicative of our historical operating results, nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results.

(d)

Reflects restructuring and other charges, which have been incurred in relation to our Margin Achievement Plan

(“MAP 2025”) and our 2026 restructuring action, together MAP Initiatives, as follows:

- MAP 2025

Restructuring and other related expense, net: Includes charges incurred related to headcount reductions and facility closures recorded in “Restructuring Expense” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Restructuring Expense related to

MAP 2025 totaled $0.7 million and $8.8 million for the three months ended August 31, 2026 and August 31, 2025 respectively. Other related expenses include inventory write-offs in connection with restructuring activities recorded

in “Cost of Sales” and accelerated depreciation and amortization recorded within “Cost of Sales” or “Selling, General, & Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”)” depending on the nature of the

expense.

- 2026 Restructuring and other related expense, net: Includes charges incurred related to headcount reductions and facility

closures associated with the SG&A-focused optimization actions and other early stage MAP 3.0 actions recorded in “Restructuring Expense” on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Restructuring

Expense related to the 2026 restructuring action totaled $4.5 million for the quarter ended August 31, 2026. Other related expenses consist of higher executive departure costs, including accelerated stock compensation expense, that do not

qualify as restructuring expense and are recorded within “SG&A” as well as accelerated depreciation recorded within “Cost of Sales” or “SG&A” depending on the nature of the expense. Other related expenses

also includes inventory write-offs in connection with restructuring activities recorded in “Cost of Sales”.

- ERP

consolidation plan: Includes expenses incurred as a result of our stated goals to consolidate over 75 ERP systems across the organization to one ERP platform per segment, as part of our overall MAP strategy as well as costs incurred for other

decision support tools to facilitate our commercial initiatives related to MAP 2025 which have been incurred in all segments, as well as Corporate/Other, and have been recorded within “SG&A”.

- Professional fees: Includes expenses incurred to consolidate accounting locations, costs incurred to implement technologies and processes to

drive improved data analytics/decision making and cost incurred to implement new global manufacturing methodologies with the goal of improving operating efficiency incurred within all of our segments as well as Corporate/Other and recorded within

“SG&A”.All of this spend is in support of stated MAP goals with the most significant expense incurred within Corporate/Other.

- (Gain) on sale of closed facilities, net: Net gain recognized related to the sale of certain properties within the PCG and Consumer Segments

which were closed as part of the MAP 2025 program.

Included below is a reconciliation of the TOTAL CONSOLIDATED MAP initiatives.

(f)

Fair value adjustments of the earn-out liabilities associated with two

small acquisitions, which were recorded in “SG&A”. Management does not consider these gains to be reflective of the company’s core business operations.

(g)

This adjustment eliminates the compensation expense impact from market valuation changes in deferred

compensation liabilities. Although not included in this schedule, the company also adjusts the related net gains (losses) on investments used as economic hedges against the related liabilities. The liabilities are adjusted based on the performance

of hypothetical investments selected by participants. Management believes it is useful to offset the non-operating investment income (loss) of the investments against the related compensation expense and

remove the net impact to help the reader’s ability to understand the company’s core operating results and to increase comparability period to period.

(h)

Depreciation expense includes charges to income that result from property, plant and equipment depreciation and

the amortization of assets recorded under finance leases recorded within “Cost of Sales” or “SG&A” depending on the nature of the expense. This excludes accelerated depreciation related to MAP initiatives.

(i)

Amortization expense includes intangible asset amortization as well as amortization of deferred cloud computing

implementation costs.

(j)

Management believes that investors’ understanding of the Company’s operating performance is

enhanced by the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for items impacting earnings that

are not considered by management to be indicative of ongoing operations. We evaluate the profit performance of our segments based on income before income taxes, but also look to adjusted EBITDA, as a performance evaluation measure because Interest

Income (Expense), Net is essentially related to corporate functions, as opposed to segment operations. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA is an operating measure that provides investors with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in

capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. For these reasons, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors as a metric in their investment decisions. The reader is

cautioned that the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA should not be compared to other entities unknowingly. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, income before income taxes as determined in accordance with

GAAP.

operations.
