<h3>Segment Review</h3>
Performance Coatings&#39; second-quarter revenues were $3,048 million. The segment&#39;s net sales were stable, as improved selling prices were offset by the sale of the non-North American portion of the traffic solutions business and adverse foreign currency translation. The figure was below our estimate of $3,101.8 million.
Industrial Coatings generated revenues of $1,746 million, a 4.6% year-over-year decrease. The fall is due to lower selling prices from certain index-based customer contracts and unfavorable foreign currency translation. The figure was below our estimate of $1,831.9 million.
<h3>Financials</h3>
The company had $1.2 billion in cash and short-term investments as of the end of the quarter. Net debt was $5.2 billion, down $0.4 billion from the prior-year quarter.
<h3>Outlook</h3>
The company&#39;s projected adjusted EPS for the third quarter is in the range of $2.10-$2.20. For the full year, the company expects adjusted EPS in the range of $8.15-$8.30. These projections consider various factors such as current global economic activity, uneven global industrial production, reduced global automotive production, stabilizing demand in Europe, sustained growth in Mexico and India and low single-digit growth in China.
<h3>Price Performance</h3>
Shares of PPG have lost 12.1% over the past year compared with 12.8% decline of its industry.
