The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2026 and 2025. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2026.

In August 2026, management approved the transfer of certain Latin America businesses and management structures, formerly of our Construction Products Group (“CPG”) and Consumer segments, to our Performance Coatings Group (“PCG”) segment to create operating efficiencies and a more unified go-to-market strategy in Latin America. This realignment is reflected in our reportable segments beginning with our first quarter of fiscal 2027. As a result, historical segment results disclosed in Note 3, "Restructuring" and Note 16, "Segment Information" have been recast to reflect the impact of this change. These prior period reclassifications have no impact on previously reported financial position, net income or cash flows. See Note 16, “Segment Information,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail.

Our financial statements include all of our majority-owned subsidiaries. We account for our investments in less-than-majority-owned joint ventures, for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, under the equity method. Effects of transactions between related companies are eliminated in consolidation.

Noncontrolling interests are presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements as if parent company investors (controlling interests) and other minority investors (noncontrolling interests) in partially-owned subsidiaries have similar economic interests in a single entity. As a result, investments in noncontrolling interests are reported as equity in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, our Consolidated Financial Statements include 100% of a controlled subsidiary’s earnings, rather than only our share. Transactions between the parent company and noncontrolling interests are reported in equity as transactions between stockholders, provided that these transactions do not create a change in control.

Our business is dependent on external weather factors. Historically, we have experienced stronger sales and net income in our first, second and fourth fiscal quarters comprising the three-month periods ending August 31, November 30, and May 31, respectively, with seasonally lower performance in our third fiscal quarter (December through February).
