This strong performance was led by double-digit percentage growth in aerospace coatings and protective and marine coatings, and high single-digit percentage growth in packaging coatings.

Industrial Coatings segment net sales increased 3% compared to the fourth quarter 2024. Sales volumes improved 5%, reflecting the benefits from share gains. The impact of lower selling prices from certain index-based customer contracts was more than offset by favorable foreign currency translation. The divestiture of the silicas products business in late 2024 impacted the year-over-year sales comparison by 3%.
Automotive OEM coatings net sales increased 6% due to above-market sales volume growth as we outpaced the global automotive industry for the second consecutive quarter. Industrial coatings organic sales were flat as sales volume growth in
Segment EBITDA increased 6%, and segment EBITDA margin improved by 30 basis points compared to the fourth quarter 2024 driven by higher sales volumes and improved productivity, partially offset by lower selling prices due to index-based contracts and the absence of earnings due to the divestiture of the silicas products business.
