PITTSBURGH–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nPPG (NYSE:PPG) today reported first quarter 2021 net sales of approximately $3.9 billion, approximately 15% higher than the prior year. Selling prices increased by nearly 2% and sales volumes were higher by approximately 7% year over year. Favorable foreign currency translation impacted net sales by more than 3%, or about $110 million, and acquisition-related sales contributed nearly 3% of the sales growth.\n<\/p>\n\nFirst quarter 2021 reported net income was $378 million, or $1.58 per diluted share, and adjusted net income was $450 million, or $1.88 per diluted share. Adjusted figures exclude after-tax items, including acquisition-related amortization expense of $29 million and other expenses of $43 million, primarily related to environmental remediation charges, expenses related to natural disasters, and other acquisition and integration-related costs. First quarter 2020 reported net income from continuing operations was $243 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, and adjusted net income from continuing operations was $310 million, or $1.31 per diluted share. The first quarter 2021 reported and adjusted effective tax rates were both approximately 23%, compared to the first quarter 2020 reported and adjusted effective tax rates of about 22%. Detailed reconciliations of the reported to adjusted figures are included below.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe delivered record adjusted EPS in the first quarter which is significantly above 2020 first quarter results, and also 27% higher than first quarter 2019 despite sales volumes not yet having fully recovered to pre-COVID levels,\u201d said Michael H. McGarry, PPG chairman and chief executive officer. \u201cWe delivered excellent operating performance in both reportable segments. We achieved these results despite experiencing accelerating raw material and logistics cost inflation during the quarter, and with demand remaining tepid in the global commercial aerospace and U.S. protective coatings end-use markets. The company\u2019s first quarter segment margins were at multi-year seasonal highs as we benefited from strong leverage on higher year-over-year net sales growth.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIn addition to improving sales performance, we delivered about $35 million of structural cost savings from business restructuring programs and continue to target a total of about $125 million of savings for the full-year 2021. We also reduced our working capital as a percent of sales by 200 basis points, driving improved operating cash flow performance compared to the prior year quarter. Finally, we continued to make good progress around our announced acquisitions, closing the VersaFlex transaction and nearing completion of the Tikkurila and W\u00f6rwag acquisitions. We are rapidly integrating those acquisitions which have already closed, and we are forecasting total 2021 synergies from all acquisitions to be $25 million to $30 million, assuming that both Tikkurila and W\u00f6rwag are completed in May.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cIn the near-term, we are proactively managing through both direct supply chain disruptions and production constraints at some of our customers due to their input component shortages. These issues will likely delay some seasonal sales activity into the second half of the year, but overall demand growth across much of our business portfolio remains very strong. The commodity disruptions specifically affecting the coatings supply chain have resulted in raw material cost inflation, which we expect to remain elevated into at least the third quarter. We are prioritizing further selling price increases, which we expect to fully offset raw material cost inflation in the second half of 2021. In addition, we will continue to aggressively manage all aspects of our cost structure,\u201d added McGarry.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cLooking ahead, we expect overall global coatings demand growth to be broad-based across most of the end-use markets that we supply, including an eventual replenishment of many of our customers\u2019 inventories. In addition, I am encouraged to see an increase in domestic flight activity in various parts of the world, which should support the gradual recovery in aftermarket aerospace coatings demand in the second half of 2021. In addition to these organic growth opportunities, we will have further sales growth and earnings accretion from our recent acquisitions. Lastly, I want to thank all of our global employees who continued to manage through the pandemic in the quarter, to serve our customers and support our communities in need,\u201d concluded McGarry.\n<\/p>\n
First Quarter 2021 Reportable Segment Financial Results<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
- \n
- \nPerformance Coatings segment first quarter net sales were about $2.3 billion, up approximately $310 million, or about 16%, versus the prior year. The improvement was led by higher sales volumes of about 5%. In addition, selling prices increased by more than 2% and acquisition-related sales added about 5%, or about $95 million, primarily from the Ennis-Flint and ICR acquisitions. Finally, favorable foreign currency translation increased net sales by nearly 4%, or about $75 million. In comparison to 2019, aggregate segment net sales volumes have partially recovered from the effects of the pandemic, but were still down about 1%, with wide disparity by end-use market and region.<\/p>\n
Architectural coatings \u2013 Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) year-over-year net sales excluding the impact of currency and acquisitions (organic sales), increased by about 20%, driven by continued consumer demand growth for PPG\u2019s paint products for residential renovations. Organic sales within the architectural coatings \u2013 Americas and Asia Pacific businesses were up a high-single-digit percentage year over year, with differences by channel and region. Both the U.S. trade professional and do-it-for-yourself channels had robust organic sales growth. In Mexico, the PPG-Comex architectural coatings business also grew organic sales by a high-single-digit percentage as consumer demand through the concessionaire network remained strong. Sales volumes in protective and marine coatings were up a low-single-digit percentage, led by strong PPG protective coatings demand in China that was partially offset in the U.S. by continued lower demand for energy-related protective coatings. Aerospace coatings sales volumes remained down nearly 30%, impacted by lower commercial original equipment and aftermarket demand, while sales for aerospace military applications remained solid. Sales volumes for automotive refinish coatings were up a high-teen percentage aided by an easier sales comparison to first quarter 2020 in China due to the pandemic and some U.S. customer restocking in the first quarter 2021.<\/p>\n
Segment income for the first quarter was $386 million, up $114 million, or more than 40%, year over year. Segment income increased due to the impact of the improving sales volumes, higher selling prices and cost savings from continuing restructuring initiatives, partially offset by raw material and logistics cost inflation.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
- \n
- \nIndustrial Coatings segment first quarter net sales were about $1.6 billion, up about $190 million, or about 14%, versus the prior year. The growth reflected demand improvements for automotive and general industrial coatings and continued strong packaging coatings sales, resulting in a 10% year over year increase in sales volumes for the reporting segment. Selling prices were also higher compared to the first quarter of 2020, including in the automotive OEM coatings business. Favorable foreign currency translation increased net sales by about 3% year over year. In comparison to 2019, segment net sales volumes have partially recovered from the pandemic, but were down about 2% in aggregate.<\/p>\n
PPG automotive OEM coatings sales volumes rose a low-teen percentage in aggregate, with differences by region, and remained above global industry auto production rates. Global automotive production rates continue to be impacted by computer chip shortages, and car dealership inventory levels remain at very low levels historically. Sales volumes for the industrial coatings business continued to improve, increasing by a low-teen percentage year over year for a second consecutive quarter, as global industrial demand continues to recover including robust demand for the electronic materials, cookware, and appliance sub-segments. Packaging coatings sales volumes increased a low-teen percentage year over year, with solid growth across the beverage and food can segments.<\/p>\n
Segment income for the first quarter was $245 million, up about $65 million, or approximately 35% year over year. Segment income was aided by higher sales volumes, restructuring cost savings, and favorable foreign currency translation, partially offset by raw material and logistics cost inflation.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nThe company had cash and short-term investments totaling approximately $1.9 billion at the end of the quarter and net debt of $4.4 billion. The Tikkurila and W\u00f6rwag acquisitions are expected to close in the second quarter and will be funded through a combination of existing cash on hand and external financing.\n<\/p>\n
\nIn addition, the company today reported the following projections for the second quarter 2021 based on current global economic activity, customer production restraints due to global chip shortages, and in consideration of the near-term economic uncertainty associated with the continued impact of the pandemic. The figures below do not include any financial results for acquisitions that have not yet closed:\n<\/p>\n
- \n
- \nAggregate sequential net sales up a low-teen percentage when compared to the first quarter 2021 and consistent with historical pre-COVID sequential quarterly changes.\n<\/li>\n
- \nStructural cost savings from restructuring actions of about $30 million year over year.\n<\/li>\n
- \nCorporate expenses were about $50 million in the first quarter and are expected to be $55 million to $60 million in the second quarter.\n<\/li>\n
- \nNet interest expense between $27 million and $29 million.\n<\/li>\n
- \nThe company\u2019s global ongoing effective tax rate of 23% to 24%.\n<\/li>\n
- \nSecond quarter adjusted earnings per diluted share between $2.15 and $2.20.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Forward-Looking Statements<\/b><\/p>\n
\nStatements contained herein relating to matters that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements reflecting PPG\u2019s current view with respect to future events and financial performance. These matters within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, involve risks and uncertainties that may affect PPG\u2019s operations, as discussed in the company\u2019s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained herein. Such factors include statements related to the expected effects on our business of the COVID-19 pandemic and the pace of recovery from the pandemic, global economic conditions, increasing price and product competition by our competitors, fluctuations in cost and availability of raw materials, the ability to achieve selling price increases, the ability to recover margins, customer inventory levels, the ability to maintain favorable supplier relationships and arrangements, the timing of realization of anticipated cost savings from restructuring and other initiatives, the ability to identify additional cost savings opportunities, the timing and expected benefits of our acquisitions, difficulties in integrating acquired businesses and achieving expected synergies therefrom, economic and political conditions in international markets, the ability to penetrate existing, developing and emerging foreign and domestic markets, foreign exchange rates and fluctuations in such rates, fluctuations in tax rates, the impact of future legislation, the impact of environmental regulations, unexpected business disruptions, the unpredictability of existing and possible future litigation, including asbestos litigation, and governmental investigations. However, it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, while the list of factors presented here and in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K are considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, lower sales or earnings, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on PPG\u2019s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.\n<\/p>\n
\nAll information in this release speaks only as of April 15, 2021, and any distribution of this release after that date is not intended and will not be construed as updating or confirming such information. PPG undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, except as otherwise required by applicable law.\n<\/p>\n
Regulation G Reconciliation<\/b><\/p>\n
\nPPG believes investor\u2019s understanding of the company\u2019s performance is enhanced by the disclosure of net income, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations and PPG\u2019s effective tax rate adjusted for certain items. PPG\u2019s management considers this information useful in providing insight into the company\u2019s ongoing performance because it excludes the impact of items that cannot reasonably be expected to recur on a quarterly basis or that are not attributable to our primary operations. Net income, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations and the effective tax rate adjusted for these items are not recognized financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (\u201cU.S. GAAP\u201d) and should not be considered a substitute for net income, earnings per diluted share, the effective tax rate or other financial measures as computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share and the adjusted effective tax rate may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by other companies.\n<\/p>\n

In the first quarter of 2021, a winter storm further damaged that factory as well as other Company factories in the southern U.S. Incremental expenses incurred in the first quarter of 2021 due to these storms included costs related to maintenance and repairs of damaged property, freight and utility premiums and other incremental expenses directly related to the impacted areas. These incremental expenses largely related to the Company’s specialty coatings and materials business.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

- \nIndustrial Coatings segment first quarter net sales were about $1.6 billion, up about $190 million, or about 14%, versus the prior year. The growth reflected demand improvements for automotive and general industrial coatings and continued strong packaging coatings sales, resulting in a 10% year over year increase in sales volumes for the reporting segment. Selling prices were also higher compared to the first quarter of 2020, including in the automotive OEM coatings business. Favorable foreign currency translation increased net sales by about 3% year over year. In comparison to 2019, segment net sales volumes have partially recovered from the pandemic, but were down about 2% in aggregate.<\/p>\n
- \nPerformance Coatings segment first quarter net sales were about $2.3 billion, up approximately $310 million, or about 16%, versus the prior year. The improvement was led by higher sales volumes of about 5%. In addition, selling prices increased by more than 2% and acquisition-related sales added about 5%, or about $95 million, primarily from the Ennis-Flint and ICR acquisitions. Finally, favorable foreign currency translation increased net sales by nearly 4%, or about $75 million. In comparison to 2019, aggregate segment net sales volumes have partially recovered from the effects of the pandemic, but were still down about 1%, with wide disparity by end-use market and region.<\/p>\n
