PPG announced financial results for the second quarter of 2025, reporting net sales of $4.2 billion, down 1% from the prior year due to business divestitures, though organic sales rose 2% driven by higher sales volumes and prices. Reported earnings per diluted share (EPS) stood at $1.98, with adjusted EPS at $2.22.

The Performance Coatings segment achieved record quarterly sales and earnings, marking a 6% organic sales increase due to strong demand in aerospace, protective and marine coatings, and traffic solutions. Industrial Coatings stabilized with flat volumes, offsetting lower automotive production with gains in packaging coatings and specialty products. Global Architectural Coatings declined by 5%, impacted by divestitures and softer Eastern European demand, partially balanced by retail strength in Mexico and growth in the Nordic and UK markets.

CEO Tim Knavish cited strong commercial execution and projected accelerated volume and earnings growth for the second half of the year, reaffirming full-year adjusted EPS guidance of $7.75 to $8.05.
