Yes. RPM continues to be active in pursuing acquisitions of successful entrepreneurial companies and product lines that complement its portfolio of specialty coatings, sealants and construction chemicals businesses. Over the last 30 years, RPM has completed more than 175 acquisitions, with more than 60 of these transactions being completed during the last decade. RPM completed six strategic business acquisitions in fiscal 2023.

RPM has increased the cash dividend paid to its stockholders for 50 consecutive years, placing it in an elite category of less than a half percent of all publicly traded U.S. companies. Only 41 other U.S. companies, besides RPM, have consecutively paid an increasing annual dividend for a longer period of time, according to Dividend Radar. During this timeframe, the company has paid approximately $3.3 billion in cash dividends to its stockholders.

RPM’s last dividend increase was on October 5, 2023, when the board of directors raised RPM's quarterly cash dividend to $0.46 per common share, a 10% increase over the previous quarterly dividend rate of $0.42 per common share.

Annually increasing its dividend is a long-standing RPM hallmark and is part of the company’s strategy to deliver stockholders a positive cash return on their investment. For the five-year period ended May 31, 2023, RPM's return to shareholders has outperformed the S&P 500 Index by 5.7% including the assumed reinvestment of dividends. RPM's annual dividend growth has been a critical element of its ability to significantly outperform this broad market index and to deliver value to RPM shareholders.
