Sherwin-Williams — Oct 22, 2024 release

This range accounts for several variables that are hard to forecast precisely, including demand related to recovery from hurricanes Helene and Milton, and the potential for extended holiday shutdowns by industrial customers. Specifically, we expect full year 2024 sales to be flat to up a low-single digit percentage compared to full year 2023. We continue to guide to full year 2024 diluted net income per share of $10.30 to $10.60 per share, including acquisition-related amortization expense of $0.80 per share, compared to $9.25 per share in 2023. Our adjusted diluted net income per share guidance remains $11.10 to $11.40 per share, an increase of 8.7% at the mid-point compared to 2023.” CONFERENCE CALL INFORMATION The Company will host a conference call to discuss its financial results for the third quarter, and its outlook for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, at 10:00 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, October 22, 2024.
