CEO LETTER
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,
It is with pride that I reflect on RPM s accomplishments
in fiscal year 2025 and introduce this year s Annual
Report, centered on the theme of The Power of RPM.
This theme encapsulates our ongoing commitment
to growth, efficiency and the values that form the
foundation of everything we do.
FISCAL YEAR 2025
WAS A LANDMARK
YEAR FOR RPM.
Together, we brought our MAP 2025 initiative to
a successful close, achieving significant progress
while laying a solid foundation for future success.
By focusing on what we could control, we
expanded margins, improved working capital and
generated record financial results. These efforts
not only bolstered our operational performance
but also accelerated a cultural shift toward greater
collaboration, which has been a hallmark of our
MAP initiatives.
Frank C. Sullivan
Chair and Chief Executive Officer
RPM International Inc.
August 21, 2025
An essential pillar of The Power of RPM is growth,
and fiscal 2025 was historic in this respect. It marked
our largest investment in acquisitions in RPM s history.
Thanks to the groundwork laid by MAP 2025, we are
now in an excellent position to fully integrate these
businesses, leveraging synergies and unlocking new
opportunities. This year, we also advanced innovation
and operational capabilities through investments in
new facilities like the Resin Center of Excellence in
Belgium and the Serendah facility in Malaysia, further
strengthening our global footprint.
Efficiency remains another driving force behind
The Power of RPM. By harnessing data-driven decisionmaking and aligning our teams across divisions and
geographies, we ve created a structure that ensures
operational discipline and adaptability in an evolving
marketplace. A clear example of this efficiency is our
Green Belt program, where our associates identify,
implement and track efficiency opportunities at our
facilities. This program has generated more than
$43 million in savings, with over $30 million in the
pipeline, and is helping to solidify an efficiency
mindset in our culture.

Underlying all our successes are the core values
at the heart of RPM. Transparency, Trust and
Respect continue to guide how we operate, make
decisions and engage with our stakeholders. These
principles are what make RPM a strong business
and one that people trust and believe in.
As we move forward under The Power of RPM
framework, the focus is clear: we will maintain
our operational discipline, accelerate growth
and continue delivering exceptional value to all
stakeholders. None of this would be possible
without the unwavering dedication of our
associates, the trust of our customers, guidance of
our board of directors and the confidence of you,
our shareholders. For that, I sincerely thank you.
THE POWER OF RPM
WILL DRIVE OUR
NEXT CHAPTER.
With an eye on the opportunities ahead, I am excited
about this next chapter for RPM. Together, we are
building on solid foundations to create a company
poised to thrive well into the future. Here s to another
year of extraordinary progress and impact.

CELEBRATING
A LEGACY OF
LEADERSHIP AND
INNOVATION
After over three decades with RPM, Ronnie Holman,
President of RPM Specialty Products Group,
announced his retirement in summer 2025. Ronnie s
journey at RPM began as a laboratory technician at
Chemical Coatings, which later became part of RPM.
He then advanced through leadership positions in
Research & Development, the RPM Wood Finishes
Group and the OEM Industrial Group.
Ronnie became the leader of the Specialty Products
Group in 2019. Over the past six years, he has
transformed the group, driving organic growth,
completing key acquisitions and expanding
iconic brands.
We are grateful for Ronnie s contributions to
RPM during his career, which have supported the
company s growth, efficiency and innovation.
Among his many achievements is the establishment
of the RPM Innovation Center of Excellence a
testament to his forward-thinking leadership,
mentorship and insight. While we will miss Ronnie
and wish him a joyful, fulfilling retirement, we are
confident his legacy will guide us as we continue
striving for greater success.
