Sherwin-Williams SHW Performance Coatings Group — Number of stores closed

The Performance Coatings Group develops and sells industrial coatings for wood finishing and general industrial (metal and plastic) applications, automotive refinish, protective and marine coatings, coil coatings, packaging coatings and performance-based resins and colorants worldwide. This segment licenses certain technology and trade names worldwide, including Sherwin-Williams® and other controlled brand products. These are distributed through the Paint Stores Group, this segment’s 317 company-operated branches, and by direct sales staff and outside sales representatives to retailers, dealers, jobbers, licensees and other third-party distributors. The Performance Coatings Group had sales to certain customers that, individually, may be a significant portion of the sales of the segment. However, the loss of any single customer would not have a material adverse effect on the overall profitability of the segment. During 2025, the segment opened 6 branches and closed 13 branches for a net closure of 7 branches. In 2024 and 2023, this segment added 2 and 5 net new branches, respectively. In accordance with ASC 280-10-50-9, the Performance Coatings Group as a whole is considered the operating segment, and because it meets the criteria in ASC 280-10-50-10, it is also considered a Reportable Segment.
