RPM Q3 sales fall 3.0% to $1.48 billion; adjusted diluted EPS drops to $0.35
RPM reported fiscal 2025 third-quarter results for the quarter ended February 28, 2025, with sales down 3.0% to $1.48 billion and net income attributable to stockholders down 15.0% to $52.0 million. The company attributed the decline mainly to unfavorable weather, weaker specialty OEM demand, and foreign currency headwinds, and it expects fourth-quarter sales to be flat and adjusted EBIT to rise in the low-single-digit percentage range.
