RPM 2Q Profit Falls After Government Shutdown Hurt Consumer Sentiment — Update

Dow Jones Newswires

RPM International

+4.54%

By Nicholas G. Miller

RPM International reported lower second-quarter profit, citing the impact of the government shutdown on consumer sentiment, and said that it would implement cost-savings initiatives.

"The prolonged government shutdown contributed to the trend of longer lead times on construction projects and further pressured already negative consumer sentiment," said Chief Executive Frank Sullivan. "As a result, sales growth turned negative as the quarter progressed, and earnings declined as we were unable to fully leverage growth investments and overcome temporary margin headwinds from plant and warehouse facility consolidations."

Building-products suppliers have also struggled due to a slow housing market that has constrained remodeling and repair activity and construction of new homes. RPM said it saw "soft DIY demand" in the quarter.

RPM said that given the slow demand environment, it would implement cost-saving initiatives worth around $100 million annually.

For the second quarter, the coatings, sealants and building materials company posted net income of $161.2 million, or $1.26 a share, down from $183.2 million, or $1.42 a share, the year before.

Adjusted earnings were $1.20 a share. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected $1.41 a share.

Sales rose 3.5% to $1.91 billion, driven by the impact of recent acquisitions. Wall Street had expected $1.93 billion.

Tariffs have posed another challenge for the industry and RPM raised prices in the first quarter to help offset tariff costs.

The company guided for mid-single-digit sales growth for both the fiscal third and fourth quarters.
