RPM International (NYSE:RPM) reported record financial results for its fiscal 2026 third quarter ended February 28, 2026, characterized by robust top-line growth and a significant expansion in operating margins across its global specialty coatings and building materials portfolio.
The Medina, Ohio-based company achieved record third-quarter sales of $1.61 billion, an 8.9% increase over the same period in the prior fiscal year.
The growth was underscored by even more dramatic gains in profitability; adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) surged 62.9% to a record $0.57.
Operating strength was visible across the board, with adjusted EBIT reaching a record $116.4 million, up 48.8% year-over-year.
On a GAAP basis, the company reported net income of $51.4 million, resulting in diluted EPS of $0.40 and EBIT of $84.1 million.
Looking ahead, RPM reaffirmed its outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the company continues to project mid-single-digit sales growth.
Adjusted EBIT growth for the final quarter is expected to fall within a range of low- to high-single digits, as the company laps particularly strong comparisons from the previous year.
