At the same time, broad-based cost inflation continues across raw materials, energy, logistics and packaging, and we are responding with pricing actions across our businesses, including an announced 8% price increase in Paint Stores Group effective September 1. “Against this backdrop, we expect third quarter 2026 consolidated Net sales to be up a mid to high-single digit percentage compared to the third quarter of 2025. We are raising our full year 2026 guidance, with consolidated Net sales expected to be up a mid to high-single digit percentage compared to full year 2025. Diluted net income per share is expected to be in the range of $10.92 to $11.32 per share, including acquisition-related amortization expense of $0.81 per share and severance and other restructuring expenses of $0.07 per share, compared to $10.26 per share in 2025. Full year 2026 adjusted diluted net income per share is expected to be in the range of $11.80 to $12.20 per share compared to $11.43 per share in 2025. “We are pleased with our first-half performance and the momentum we are carrying into the second half of the year.
