Coatings Performance Segment Income measures operating profit attributed to PPG's Performance Coatings reportable segment.
PPG reported $1.148 billion of Performance Coatings segment income in 2025, up 0.5% from 2024.
Why it matters
Segment income shows whether higher sales, pricing, volume, manufacturing efficiency, and cost inflation are translating into operating profit.
Investor caution
The measure follows PPG's segment-accounting rules. It is not automatically comparable with another issuer's segment profit or consolidated operating income.

Part of the Coatings Operating Economics
Connect reportable-segment revenue, management-attributed price and volume bridges, segment income, and segment EBITDA across architectural, performance, and industrial coatings.
How the model fits together
- Architectural coatings price, volume, and profitability: Global Architectural Coatings net sales combine reported revenue with management-attributed selling-price and sales-volume effects, while segment income and segment EBITDA show how those sales translated into profitability. Divestitures and foreign currency also affected reported sales, so the price and volume bridge is not a complete reconciliation.
- Industrial coatings price, volume, and profitability: Industrial Coatings pairs positive sales-volume contribution with negative selling-price contribution and lower reported net sales, then connects those drivers to segment income and segment EBITDA. The bridge remains issuer-defined and does not imply a standardized physical-volume or pure-price measure.
- Performance coatings price, volume, and profitability: Performance Coatings combines positive selling-price and sales-volume contributions with segment net sales, segment income, and segment EBITDA. The mix of aerospace, protective and marine, automotive refinish, and traffic businesses means these growth drivers should not be treated as a single standardized end-market measure.
