Sherwin-Williams (NYSE: SHW) reported its Q3 2024 financial results, showing a 0.7% increase in consolidated net sales to $6.16 billion. The company's diluted net income per share rose 7.8% to $3.18, while adjusted diluted net income per share increased 5.3% to $3.37. EBITDA grew 1.2% to $1.28 billion, representing 20.8% of net sales.

The Paint Stores Group saw a 3.2% increase in net sales, driven by low-single digit sales volume growth and higher selling prices. The Consumer Brands Group experienced a 7.5% decrease in net sales due to soft DIY demand in North America. The Performance Coatings Group's net sales remained relatively flat.

Sherwin-Williams reaffirmed its full-year 2024 guidance, expecting diluted net income per share between $10.30 and $10.60, and adjusted diluted net income per share between $11.10 and $11.40. The company anticipates Q4 2024 consolidated net sales to be flat to up a low-single digit percentage compared to Q4 2023.

L'EBITDA è salito dell'1,2% a $1,28 miliardi, rappresentando il 20,8% delle vendite nette.

Il Gruppo dei Negozio di Vernici ha visto un incremento del 3,2% nelle vendite nette, trainato dalla crescita del volume delle vendite in singola cifra e da prezzi di vendita più elevati. Il Gruppo dei Marchi per i Consumatori ha subito una diminuzione del 7,5% nelle vendite nette a causa di una domanda debole nel fai-da-te in Nord America. Le vendite nette del Gruppo dei Rivestimenti per Prestazioni sono rimaste relativamente stabili.

Sherwin-Williams ha confermato le sue previsioni per l'intero anno 2024, aspettandosi un utile netto diluito per azione tra $10,30 e $10,60, e un utile netto diluito rettificato per azione tra $11,10 e $11,40. L'azienda prevede che le vendite nette consolidate del quarto trimestre del 2024 rimarranno stabili o aumenteranno di una percentuale bassa a una cifra rispetto al quarto trimestre del 2023.

Insights

Sherwin-Williams' Q3 2024 results show modest growth amid challenging market conditions. Key highlights include:

  • Consolidated net sales up 0.7% to $6.16 billion
  • Diluted EPS increased 7.8% to $3.18
  • EBITDA grew 1.2% to $1.28 billion

The Paint Stores Group led growth with a 3.2% increase in net sales, while Consumer Brands Group saw a 7.5% decline due to soft DIY demand. The company's focus on professional markets and strategic investments appears to be paying off, despite macroeconomic headwinds.

Management's decision to maintain full-year guidance ($10.30 to $10.60 EPS) suggests confidence in their strategy, but also reflects uncertainty in Q4 demand. The announced 5% price increase for Paint Stores Group, effective January 2025, could support margins going forward.

Investors should monitor the impact of recent hurricanes and potential extended holiday shutdowns by industrial customers, which could affect Q4 performance.

Sherwin-Williams' Q3 results reveal interesting market dynamics:

  • Professional markets outperforming DIY segment
  • Protective & marine coatings showing strong growth
  • Residential repaint growing despite market downturn
  • New residential construction performing better than expected
  • Packaging business regaining market share

The divergence between professional and DIY markets suggests a shift in consumer behavior, possibly due to economic pressures. The company's focus on professional segments and value-added services appears to be a sound strategy in this environment.

The growth in protective & marine and packaging segments indicates potential opportunities in industrial and infrastructure markets. However, the soft North American DIY market and choppy demand in some industrial sectors warrant caution.

The company's proactive investments in stores, sales reps and digital capabilities could position it well for future growth, but may pressure short-term margins. The effectiveness of these investments in driving "sustained and profitable above-market growth" will be important to watch in coming quarters.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Sherwin-Williams Company (NYSE: SHW) announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. All comparisons are to the third quarter of the prior year, unless otherwise noted.

SUMMARY

  • Consolidated net sales increased 0.7% in the quarter to $6.16 billion
    • Net sales from stores in the Paint Stores Group open more than twelve calendar months increased 2.2% in the quarter
  • Diluted net income per share increased 7.8% to $3.18 per share in the quarter compared to $2.95 per share in the third quarter 2023
    • Adjusted diluted net income per share increased 5.3% to $3.37 per share in the quarter compared to $3.20 per share in the third quarter 2023
  • Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) in the quarter increased 1.2% to $1.28 billion, or 20.8% of net sales
  • Reaffirming full year 2024 diluted net income per share guidance in the range of $10.30 to $10.60 per share, including acquisition-related amortization expense of $0.80 per share
    • Reaffirming full year 2024 adjusted diluted net income per share guidance in the range of $11.10 to $11.40 per share

CEO REMARKS

"Sherwin-Williams grew sales, expanded gross margin, and increased EBITDA and adjusted diluted net income per share despite continued choppiness in the demand environment," said President and Chief Executive Officer, Heidi G. Petz. "Strong cash generation in the quarter enabled us to return $631 million to our shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. We also chose to invest ahead of the curve in the quarter, given the unprecedented long-term opportunities that continue to emerge from an increasingly uncertain competitive landscape. We are highly confident these current near-term investments in stores, sales and technical reps, expanded services and digital capabilities will help generate sustained and profitable above-market growth. We expect SG&A to moderate sequentially, resulting in a low to mid-single digit increase for the second half as anticipated.

"In Paint Stores Group, growth was led by a high-single digit increase in protective & marine. Our prior investments in residential repaint continued to drive mid-single digit growth in a down market. New residential grew at a similar rate as anticipated. The Group also announced a 5% price increase effective January 6, 2025. Sales in our Consumer Brands Group declined driven by continued softness in the North American DIY market. In Performance Coatings Group, our Packaging business grew by a high-single digit percentage and continued to regain share. We also delivered growth in our Coil and Industrial Wood businesses."

Consolidated Net sales increased primarily due to higher sales in the Paint Stores Group and the impact from the acquisition in 2023. These increases were partially offset by lower sales in the Consumer Brands and Performance Coatings Groups as well as approximately 1.0% unfavorable foreign currency translation.

Income before income taxes increased primarily due to higher Net sales and lower provisions for environmental matters recorded in the Administrative function, partially offset by continued investments in the Paint Stores Group and digital technologies.

Diluted net income per share included a charge of $0.19 per share for acquisition-related amortization expense in both the third quarter of 2024 and 2023. In the third quarter of 2023, diluted net income per share also included a charge of $0.06 per share related to activities associated with the Company's restructuring plan.

PSG Segment profit decreased primarily due to increased costs to support higher sales and continued investments in long-term growth strategies, including higher employee-related costs, partially offset by higher Net sales.

Net sales in CBG decreased primarily as a result of soft DIY demand in North America and an approximate 4% impact from unfavorable foreign currency translation driven by Latin America. CBG Segment profit increased primarily due to higher fixed cost absorption in the manufacturing and distribution operations within the segment and effective cost control, partially offset by lower Net sales. Acquisition-related amortization expense reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net sales by 200 basis points in the third quarter of 2024 compared to 190 basis points in the third quarter of 2023.

Net sales in PCG were effectively flat as a result of sales volume growth, inclusive of the acquisition in 2023, being fully offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation. Performance was led by Packaging, which increased in all regions, Coil and Industrial Wood. PCG Segment profit decreased primarily as a result of  lower sales in North America and unfavorable foreign currency related impacts. Acquisition-related amortization expense reduced Segment profit as a percent of Net sales by 290 basis points in the third quarter of 2024 and 2023.

LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOW

The Company generated $2.22 billion in Net operating cash and returned cash of $1.97 billion to our shareholders in the form of dividends and repurchases of 4.4 million shares of its common stock during the first nine months of 2024. At September 30, 2024, the Company had remaining authorization to purchase 35.3 million shares of its common stock through open market purchases.

"In what remains a tough macroeconomic environment, our strategy continues to be providing our customers with differentiated solutions that make them more productive and profitable," said Ms. Petz. "We are confident the growth and efficiency investments we have made will enable us to continue outperforming the market. Our team is focused, determined and experienced, and we will continue to aggressively pursue above market growth while controlling what we can control.

"In our pro architectural business, demand remains variable by end market, with no impact to date from recent interest rate cuts. North American DIY demand remains weak driven by inflation and higher consumer debt levels. In our industrial businesses, demand remains choppy by end market and region. Against this backdrop, we expect fourth quarter 2024 consolidated net sales to be flat to up a low-single digit percentage compared to the fourth quarter of 2023.

"We are maintaining our previous full year earnings guidance, recognizing the current range is wider than typical entering a fourth quarter. This range accounts for several variables that are hard to forecast precisely, including demand related to recovery from hurricanes Helene and Milton, and the potential for extended holiday shutdowns by industrial customers. Specifically, we expect full year 2024 sales to be flat to up a low-single digit percentage compared to full year 2023. We continue to guide to full year 2024 diluted net income per share 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.  Our adjusted diluted net income per share guidance remains $11.10 to $11.40 per share, an increase of 8.7% at the mid-point compared to 2023."

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. Valspar acquisition-related amortization expense is excluded from diluted net income per share due to its significance as a result of the purchase price assigned to finite-lived intangible assets at the date of acquisition and the related impact on underlying business performance and trends. While these intangible assets contribute to the Company's revenue generation, the related revenue is not excluded. 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.

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

(2)

Acquisition-related amortization expense, which is included within Selling, general and administrative expenses, consists of the amortization of intangible assets related to the Valspar acquisition. These intangible assets are primarily customer relationships and intellectual property and are being amortized over their remaining useful lives.

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 further believes enhances investors' understanding of the Company's operating performance. 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.
