PPG INDUSTRIES, INC. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1, "Financial Statements," of this report and in conjunction with the 2021 Form 10-K.
Highlights
Net sales were approximately$4.7 billion for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , an increase of 7.6% compared to the prior year, driven by higher selling prices and acquisition-related sales partially offset by lower sales volumes and unfavorable foreign currency translation impacts. The Company increased net sales despite softer demand conditions inEurope due to geopolitical issues, extended COVID-19 restrictions inChina , and strong appreciation of theU.S. dollar versus many foreign currencies. Income before income taxes was$566 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , a decrease of$27 million compared to the prior year. This decrease was largely due to raw material and other cost inflation, lower sales volumes and unfavorable foreign currency translation impact. These impacts were partially offset by higher selling prices and income of$60 million recorded due to the collection of previously reserved trade receivables and the recovery of previously written-down inventories associated with the wind down of the Company's operations inRussia .

Adjusted earnings per diluted share for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 decreased year-over-year primarily due to raw material cost inflation, lower sales volumes stemming from commodity raw material availability issues and semiconductor chip shortages and unfavorable foreign currency impacts, partially offset by higher selling prices.
Regulation G Reconciliations - Results from Operations
PPG believes investors' understanding of the Company's performance is enhanced by the disclosure of net income from continuing operations, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations, PPG's effective tax rate and segment income adjusted for certain items. PPG's management considers this information useful in providing insight into the Company's ongoing performance because it excludes the impact of items that cannot reasonably be expected to recur on a quarterly basis or that are not attributable to our primary operations. Net income from continuing operations, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations, the effective tax rate and segment income adjusted for these items are not recognized financial measures determined in accordance withU.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") and should not be considered a substitute for net income from continuing operations, earnings per diluted share from continuing operations, the effective tax rate, segment income or other financial measures as computed in accordance withU.S. GAAP. In addition, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per diluted share and the adjusted effective tax rate may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by other companies. 27 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Income before income taxes from continuing operations is reconciled to adjusted income before income taxes from continuing operations, the effective tax rate from continuing operations is reconciled to the adjusted effective tax rate from continuing operations and net income from continuing operations (attributable to PPG) and earnings per share - assuming dilution (attributable to PPG) are reconciled to adjusted net income from continuing operations (attributable to PPG) and adjusted earnings per share - assuming dilution below.

In the second quarter 2022, the acquisition of Tikkurila increased net sales in
the Performance Coatings segment by about $120 million versus prior year.
Architectural coatings - Americas and Asia Pacific net sales, excluding the
impact of currency and acquisitions ("organic sales"), increased by a
mid-single-digit percentage. Sales in the U.S. and Canada were unfavorably
impacted by ongoing raw material and transportation availability challenges. In
Mexico , PPG-Comex architectural coatings organic sales increased compared to the
prior year as concessionaire network demand continued to be strong throughout
the quarter and further selling price increases were implemented.
Architectural coatings - EMEA organic sales decreased by a low-single-digit
percentage year-over-year as selling price increases were offset by lower sales
volumes due to softening do-it-yourself ("DIY") paint demand and some modest
demand weakness related to geopolitical uncertainty in Europe .
Automotive refinish coatings organic sales increased by a low-teen-percentage,
reflecting higher prices in all regions and improved body shop activity in the
U.S. stemming from higher miles driven, increased collision claims, and more
people returning to office work.
Aerospace coatings sales volumes increased by more than 10% compared to the
prior year, as commercial aftermarket demand strengthened year-over-year but
overall inventory demand remained below pre-pandemic levels. Net sales benefited
from continued strong military demand.
Protective and marine coatings organic sales were higher by a low-single-digit
percentage primarily due to strong selling price increases. Sales volumes were
adversely impacted by COVID-19 restrictions in China .

Segment income decreased $75 million year-over-year primarily due to raw
material and logistics cost inflation, lower sales volumes and unfavorable
foreign currency translation, partially offset by higher selling prices,
acquisition-related earnings and savings from previously approved restructuring
actions.
Looking Ahead
Looking ahead, demand conditions, with the exception of Europe , remain solid,
and disruptions in the supply chain and manufacturing environment are expected
to continue to gradually improve as the quarter progresses. The supply of
several key inputs remains tight, which will continue to constrain certain sales
activity, most notably in automotive refinish and aerospace coatings. Selling
prices are expected to increase on a sequential basis from the second quarter.
Aggregate sales volumes are anticipated to be flat to down a low-single-digit
percentage compared to the third quarter 2021, including unfavorable impacts in
Europe from the war in Ukraine . The impact of divestiture-related sales and
sales related to the Russian business, which the Company is in the process of
winding down, is estimated to be about $70 million for the third quarter. In
addition to executing against various existing cost-savings initiatives, cost
mitigation actions have been implemented in Europe and other contingency actions
have been developed in case there is a broader economic downturn.

Looking ahead, aggregate sales volumes are expected to be up a low-single-digit percentage compared to the prior-year third quarter, including unfavorable impacts inEurope from the war inUkraine . The year-over-year increase in sales volumes is expected to be led by the automotive OEM business supported by improving customer component availability and an easier comparison to a softer sales period in the third quarter 2021. The company continues to prioritize working with customers to secure further selling price increases in all businesses. Segment margins are expected to continue to improve on a sequential basis in the third quarter 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
PPG had cash and short-term investments totaling
The Company continues to believe that cash on hand and short-term investments, cash from operations and the Company's access to capital markets will be sufficient to fund our operating activities, capital spending, acquisitions, dividend payments, debt service, share repurchases, contributions to pension plans and PPG's contractual obligations.
Cash (used for)/from operating activities
Cash used for operating activities for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 was$136 million and cash from operating activities was$581 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 . The$717 million decrease was primarily due to a larger increase in working capital in the first six months of 2022 compared to the prior year, which reflects the impact of higher raw material costs on inventories and higher selling prices on trade receivables.
Operating working capital
Operating working capital is a subset of total working capital and represents (1) trade receivables - net of the allowance for doubtful accounts (2) FIFO inventories and (3) trade liabilities. We believe operating working capital represents the key components of working capital under the operating control of our businesses. A key metric we use to measure our working capital management is operating working capital as a percentage of sales (current quarter sales annualized).

Cash from financing activities
Cash from financing activities for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021 was$213 million and$1,054 million , respectively. The$841 million decrease in cash from financing activities was primarily due to the proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt in 2021 to finance the Company's acquisition of Tikkurila and higher purchases of treasury stock in 2022.
Debt issued and repaid
InMay 2022 , PPG completed a public offering of €300 million 1.875% Notes due 2025 and €700 million 2.750% Notes due 2029. Refer to Note 6, "Borrowings" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.
In
Credit Agreements
InFebruary 2021 , PPG entered into a$2.0 billion Term Loan Credit Agreement (the "Term Loan Credit Agreement") to finance the Company's acquisition of Tikkurila, and to pay fees, costs and expenses related thereto. The Term Loan Credit Agreement provided the Company with the ability to borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of$2.0 billion on an unsecured basis. In addition to the amounts borrowed to finance the acquisition of Tikkurila, the Term Loan Credit Agreement allowed the Company to make up to eleven additional borrowings prior toDecember 31, 2021 , to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Term Loan Credit Agreement contains covenants that are usual and customary restrictive covenants for facilities of its type, which include, with specified exceptions, limitations on the Company's ability to create liens or other encumbrances, to enter into sale and leaseback transactions and to enter into consolidations, mergers or transfers of all or substantially all of its assets. The Term Loan Credit Agreement matures and all outstanding borrowings are due and payable on the third anniversary of the date of the initial borrowing under the Agreement. InJune 2021 , PPG borrowed$700 million under the Term Loan Credit Agreement to finance the Company's acquisition of Tikkurila, and to pay fees, costs and expenses related thereto. InDecember 2021 , PPG borrowed an additional$700 million under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. Borrowings of$1.4 billion were outstanding under the Term Loan Credit Agreement as ofJune 30, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 . InAugust 2019 , PPG amended and restated its five-year credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with several banks and financial institutions. The Credit Agreement provides for a$2.2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company has the ability to increase the size of the Credit Agreement by up to an additional$750 million , subject to the receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. The Credit Agreement will terminate onAugust 30, 2024 . The Company has the right, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, to designate certain subsidiaries of the Company as borrowers under the Credit Agreement. In connection with any such designation, the Company is required to guarantee the obligations of any such subsidiaries under the Credit Agreement. There were no amounts outstanding under the credit agreement as ofJune 30, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 . 33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents The Term Loan Credit Agreement and Credit Agreement require the Company to maintain a ratio of Total Indebtedness to Total Capitalization, as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement and Credit Agreement, of 60% or less; provided, that for any fiscal quarter in which the Company has made an acquisition for consideration in excess of$1 billion and for the next five fiscal quarters thereafter, the ratio of Total Indebtedness to Total Capitalization may not exceed 65% at any time. As ofJune 30, 2022 , Total Indebtedness to Total Capitalization as defined under the Credit Agreement and Term Loan Credit Agreement was 51%. The Credit Agreement also supports the Company's commercial paper borrowings which are classified as long-term based on PPG's intent and ability to refinance these borrowings on a long-term basis. Commercial paper borrowings of zero and$440 million were outstanding as ofJune 30, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 , respectively. Other Liquidity Information Restructuring Aggregate restructuring savings, including the impact of acquisition synergies, were approximately$15 million in the second quarter of 2022. Total restructuring savings are expected to be at least$65 million in 2022. In addition, the Company continues to review its cost structure to identify additional cost savings opportunities. Refer to Note 5, "Business Restructuring" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further details on the Company's business restructuring programs. We expect cash outlays related to these actions of approximately$150 million in 2022.
Currency
Comparing spot exchange rates atDecember 31, 2021 and atJune 30, 2022 , theU.S. dollar strengthened against the currencies of many countries within the regions PPG operates. As a result, consolidated net assets atJune 30, 2022 decreased by$181 million compared toDecember 31, 2021 , primarily due to the weakening of the euro. Comparing average exchange rates during the first six months of 2022 to those of the first six months of 2021, theU.S. dollar strengthened against the currencies of most countries within the EMEA region where PPG operates. This had an unfavorable impact on Income before income taxes for the` six months endedJune 30, 2022 of$41 million from the translation of these foreign earnings intoU.S. dollars. New Accounting Standards
Refer to Note 2, "New Accounting Standards" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further details on recently issued accounting guidance.
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, including Environmental Matters
PPG is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims, both actual and potential, including some that it has asserted against others, in which substantial monetary damages are sought. See Part II, Item 1, "Legal Proceedings" of this Form 10-Q and Note 14, "Commitments and Contingent Liabilities" in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for a description of certain of these lawsuits. As discussed in Part II, Item 1 and Note 14, although the result of any future litigation of such lawsuits and claims is inherently unpredictable, management believes that, in the aggregate, the outcome of all lawsuits and claims involving PPG, including asbestos-related claims, will not have a material effect on PPG's consolidated financial position or liquidity; however, any such outcome may be material to the results of operations of any particular period in which costs, if any, are recognized. As also discussed in Note 14, PPG has significant reserves for environmental contingencies. Refer to the Environmental Matters section of Note 14 for details of these reserves. It is PPG's policy to accrue expenses for contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Reserves for environmental contingencies are exclusive of claims against third parties and are generally not discounted. In management's opinion, the Company operates in an environmentally sound manner and the outcome of the Company's environmental contingencies will not have a material effect on PPG's financial position or liquidity; however, any such outcome may be material to the results of operations of any particular period in which costs, if any, are recognized. Management anticipates that the resolution of the Company's environmental contingencies will occur over an extended period of time.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Management has evaluated the accounting policies used in the preparation of the
financial statements and related notes presented in this Form 10-Q and believes
those policies to be reasonable and appropriate. We believe that the most
critical accounting estimates made in the preparation of our financial
statements are those related to accounting for contingencies, under which we
accrue a loss when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and

the amount can be reasonably estimated, and to accounting for pensions, other
postretirement benefits, business combinations, goodwill and other identifiable
intangible assets with indefinite lives because of the importance of management
judgment in making the estimates necessary to apply these policies.
For a comprehensive discussion of the Company's critical accounting estimates,
see Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" of our 2021 Form 10-K. There were no material changes in
the Company's critical accounting estimates from the 2021 Form 10-K.
Forward-Looking Statements
Management's Discussion and Analysis and other sections of this Quarterly Report contain forward-looking statements that reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial performance. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to current or historic facts. Forward-looking statements are identified by the use of the words "aim," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "project," "outlook," "forecast" and other expressions that indicate future events and trends. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports to theSecurities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Also, note the following cautionary statements. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's forward-looking statements. Such factors include statements related to the expected effects on our business of COVID-19, global economic conditions, geopolitical uncertainty inEurope , increasing price and product competition by our competitors, fluctuations in cost and availability of raw materials, energy, labor and logistics, the ability to achieve selling price increases, the ability to recover margins, customer inventory levels, our ability to maintain favorable supplier relationships and arrangements, the timing of and the realization of anticipated cost savings from restructuring initiatives, the ability to identify additional cost savings opportunities, the timing and expected benefits of our acquisitions, difficulties in integrating acquired businesses and achieving expected synergies therefrom, economic and political conditions in the markets we serve, the ability to penetrate existing, developing and emerging foreign and domestic markets, foreign exchange rates and fluctuations in such rates, fluctuations in tax rates, the impact of future legislation, the impact of environmental regulations, unexpected business disruptions, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, the results of governmental investigations, and the unpredictability of existing and possible future litigation. However, it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, while the list of factors presented here and in the 2021 Form 10-K under Item 1A is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in the results compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, lower sales or income, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties, other factors set forth in Item 1A of the 2021 Form 10-K and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
