Axalta (NYSE:AXTA) reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2026, delivering net sales of $1.35 billion.

The revenue figure topped analyst forecasts of $1.31 billion.

While the company posted a GAAP net income of $89 million—down $21 million largely due to $31 million in incremental merger and acquisition costs—its adjusted metrics hit quarterly records.

Axalta generated a record adjusted EBITDA of $305 million, reflecting a robust 22.7% margin, and reported a record adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.72.

Mobility Coatings also delivered record quarterly net sales of $474 million and posted $87 million in adjusted EBITDA, an 18.4% margin.

The company maintained strong liquidity, generating $107 million in free cash flow (up 6% year-over-year) and reducing its total net leverage to 2.2x, the lowest in Axalta's history.

Looking ahead, management highlighted the Special General Meeting scheduled for August 5, 2026, where shareholders will vote on the proposed merger of equals with AkzoNobel.
