PPG expects financial performance in the first quarter of 2026 to exceed previous expectations, with diluted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.70 and adjusted earnings per share of $1.83, representing a 6% increase from the first quarter of 2025. PPG Chairman and CEO, Tim Knavish, stated: "I am pleased that we have achieved organic sales growth for the fifth consecutive quarter while maintaining positive pricing and flat volumes. The strong performance of our differentiated architectural coatings business and aerospace business in Latin America, as well as the effective implementation of our self-help measures, have driven the EBITDA margin in this segment beyond our initial expectations." Additionally, the company expects organic sales and adjusted earnings per share in the second quarter to be flat or increase by a single-digit percentage compared to the same period last year.
