Positive
  • Consolidated net sales increased 0.5% to $6.27 billion
  • Diluted net income per share rose 14.0% to $3.50
  • Adjusted diluted net income per share increased 12.5% to $3.70
  • EBITDA grew 12.1% to $1.44 billion
  • Paint Stores Group net sales up 3.5% with segment profit growth of 6.8%
  • Full-year 2024 guidance increased for both diluted and adjusted diluted net income per share
Negative
  • Consumer Brands Group net sales decreased 10.7%
  • Performance Coatings Group sales growth was minimal at 0.6%
  • Soft DIY demand in North America affected Consumer Brands Group performance
  • Macroeconomic environment softer than anticipated, creating uncertainty for future demand

The Sherwin-Williams Company's second-quarter financial results for 2024 show essential growth metrics. Key highlights include a 0.5% increase in consolidated net sales to $6.27 billion and a significant 14.0% rise in diluted net income per share to $3.50. These figures indicate healthy performance despite a challenging market environment.

Furthermore, the 12.1% increase in EBITDA to $1.44 billion showcases the company's ability to manage costs effectively, improving margins. The updated full-year guidance for diluted net income per share, ranging from $10.30 to $10.60, suggests confidence in ongoing performance, notwithstanding market uncertainties. Retail investors might view this as a sign of stability and growth potential, particularly with the company's focus on capital returns through dividends and share repurchases.

The performance across different segments provides insights into Sherwin-Williams' market dynamics. The Paint Stores Group (PSG) saw a 3.5% rise in net sales, driven by higher sales volumes and price realizations. The Consumer Brands Group (CBG), however, experienced a 10.7% decline in net sales due to reduced DIY demand and the impact of divestitures, yet managed to significantly increase segment profit by 85.3% thanks to cost management and efficiency improvements. Lastly, the Performance Coatings Group (PCG) showed modest sales growth of 0.6% but a strong segment profit increase of 10.6%.

These variations indicate that while the company faces headwinds in some areas, it remains resilient through strategic pricing and cost initiatives. The focus on residential repaint and new residential markets is particularly noteworthy, as these areas are expected to drive future growth. For retail investors, this diversification across segments mitigates risks and underscores the company's strategic positioning in different market environments.

One notable aspect of Sherwin-Williams' strategy is its investment in digital technologies. The financial report highlights continued investments in long-term growth strategies and digital initiatives. These investments are important for enhancing operational efficiency, customer experience and competitive advantage. Given the increasing importance of digital transformation in the business landscape, Sherwin-Williams' commitment to this area may provide substantial long-term benefits.

For retail investors, this focus on digital transformation can be seen as a positive indicator of the company's forward-thinking approach. It demonstrates an understanding of the need to adapt to technological advancements, which could lead to improved productivity and market positioning over time. This strategic focus is likely to bolster investor confidence in Sherwin-Williams' ability to sustain growth in a rapidly evolving market environment.

CEO REMARKS

"Led by strong performance in the Paint Stores Group, we continued to execute on our proven strategy across the Company to deliver consolidated sales within our expectations, gross margin expansion, EBITDA growth, and a 12.5% percent increase in adjusted diluted net income per share," said President and Chief Executive Officer, Heidi G. Petz. "We generated strong cash flow and continued to execute our disciplined capital allocation strategy, including returning $1.34 billion to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases during the year.

"Paint Stores Group sales were up, at the midpoint of our guidance, against a double-digit comparison. Volume increased by a low-single digit percentage, and price realization increased from first quarter levels as expected. We are clearly seeing a return on last year's growth investments in residential repaint, where volume increased by a mid-single digit percentage in a down market. We're also encouraged by growth in new residential, where we expect continued momentum over the back half of the year. Consumer Brands Group sales continued to be impacted by soft North America DIY paint demand. Performance Coatings Group sales were led by growth in Industrial Wood and Coil. Auto Refinish sales increased by low-single digits in North America but were offset by softness in Latin America. Packaging sales were down less than expected, and General Industrial demand was soft in all regions. Despite the continued choppiness in the overall demand environment, all three of our reportable segments delivered sequential and year-over-year margin improvement."

Consolidated Net sales increased primarily due to higher sales volumes in the Paint Stores and Performance Coatings Groups, partially offset by lower sales volumes in the Consumer Brands Group, inclusive of the impact from the divestiture of the China architectural business in 2023.

Income before income taxes increased primarily due to benefits from moderating raw material costs and higher Net sales, partially offset by continued investments in long-term growth strategies and digital technologies.

Diluted net income per share included a charge of $0.20 per share for acquisition-related amortization expense in both the second quarter of 2024 and 2023. In the second quarter of 2023, diluted net income per share also included a net charge of $0.02 per share related to activities associated with the Company's restructuring plan.

Net sales in PSG increased primarily due to low-single digit sales volume growth and continued realization of higher selling prices implemented earlier in the year. Net sales grew in all end markets, led by residential repaint, new residential, commercial and protective and marine, with the exception of property maintenance which declined modestly year-over-year. PSG Segment profit increased primarily due to higher Net sales and moderating raw material costs, partially offset by continued investments in long-term growth strategies, including higher employee-related costs.

Adjusted segment profit equals Segment profit excluding the impact of Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense, restructuring costs and impairment charges. In CBG, Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense was $16.0 million and $17.9 million in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Restructuring costs were $13.2 million and impairment charges were $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2023.

Net sales in CBG decreased primarily due to a mid-single digit percentage sales volume decline as a result of soft DIY demand in North America, an approximate 2% impact from the divestiture of the China architectural business in 2023 and an approximate 2% impact from unfavorable currency translation. These decreases were partially offset by selling price increases in Latin America, which impacted Net sales by a low-single digit percentage. CBG Segment profit increased primarily due to higher fixed cost absorption in the manufacturing and distribution operations within the segment and moderating raw material costs, partially offset by lower Net sales and higher employee-related costs. Acquisition-related amortization expense reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net sales by 190 basis points in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023. Restructuring costs and impairment charges also reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net Sales by 140 basis points and 70 basis points, respectively, in the second quarter of 2023.

Net sales in PCG increased primarily due to incremental sales of 1.7% from an acquisition, partially offset by 1.0% unfavorable currency translation. Sales volume varied by region and business. Performance was led by Industrial Wood, Coil and Automotive Refinish in North America, partially offset by a decrease in General Industrial across all regions. PCG Segment profit increased primarily as a result of moderating raw material costs and higher Net sales, partially offset by higher employee-related costs. Acquisition-related amortization expense reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net sales by 270 basis points in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 280 basis points in the second quarter of 2023.

LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW

The Company generated $1.14 billion in Net operating cash and returned cash of $1.34 billion to our shareholders in the form of dividends and repurchases of 3.1 million shares of its common stock during the first six months of 2024. At June 30, 2024, the Company had remaining authorization to purchase 36.5 million shares of its common stock through open market purchases.

"The macroeconomic environment has been softer for longer than many economists anticipated at the start of the year, and it is unclear how this trajectory may unfold in our back half," said Ms. Petz. "While we are not immune to market conditions, our focus on providing differentiated solutions to drive our customers' productivity and profitability remains unchanged. We believe in our strategy, we've invested in it, and we expect to drive above market performance. Sherwin-Williams remains well-positioned in each of our targeted markets, and we expect share gains to become more evident over time. We have the right enterprise priorities, disciplined capital allocation, a team that executes better than anyone in our industry, and favorable demand demographics that continue to bode well for long-term value creation.

"We expect third quarter 2024 consolidated net sales to be up a low-single digit percentage compared to the third quarter of 2023. We are updating our guidance for the full year 2024 to reflect our better than expected second quarter diluted net income per share results, tempered by continued demand uncertainty in several end markets. We now expect consolidated net sales to be up a low-single digit percentage compared to full year 2023 and diluted net income per share to be in the range of $10.30 to $10.60 per share, including acquisition-related amortization expense of $0.80 per share, compared to $9.25 per share in 2023. Full year 2024 adjusted diluted net income per share is expected to be in the range of $11.10 to $11.40 per share compared to $10.35 per share in 2023, an increase of 8.7% at the mid-point."

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. 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.

(1)

Acquisition-related amortization expense consists of the amortization of intangible assets related to the Valspar acquisition and is included within Selling, general and administrative expenses.

(2)

The tax effect is calculated based on the statutory rate and the nature of the item, unless otherwise noted.

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 believes enhances investors' understanding of the Company's operating performance. Management considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA useful in understanding the operating performance of the Company. 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.
