Despite the economic upturn in 2010, risks still remain for asustained recovery. The high debt level of many countries isthreatening the stability of the financial and banking system. Theneed to trim government spending around the world will have animpact on demand, as will the winding down of national stimulusprograms and the end of inventory restocking.

volatile raw materials and currency markets,
excess capacities,
growing geopolitical tensions, and

Summary:
PPG quoted Charles E. Bunch, chairman and CEO to reveal the annualsummary of the development of PPG in 2010 and futureprospects.
PPG Industries financial report shows a record profit was mainlydriven by the following factors:
- Outstanding sales performance benefited from continued growth inemerging regions
- Industry continues to make slow recovery of the total salesvolume increased by 6%
- Low cost structure continue to drive global profitablegrowth
- The company plans with a strong balance sheet to further promotethe profitable growth
“Our record earnings reflect the benefits of the strategicinitiatives we’ve undertaken to broaden our geographic footprint especially in high-growth emerging regions and the diversity ofthe end-use markets we serve,” said Charles E. Bunch, PPG chairmanand CEO. “In addition, our lower overall cost structure has enabledus to leverage the ongoing, gradual global industrial recovery. Weachieved these record results despite persistent raw material costinflation and anemic construction markets in the developedeconomies of the world.”
Bunch said that PPG’s segment earnings grew by more than versus thesame period last year. “Higher industrial activity resulted insizable gains in our Industrial Coatings and Commodity Chemicalssegments, and in our fiber glass business, all of which areexperiencing strong demand recovery from the recession. Also, ourPerformance Coatings and Optical and Specialty Materials segmentsdelivered earnings records, once again growing by double-digitpercentages. The Architectural Coatings EMEA (Europe, Middle Eastand Africa) segment earnings fell slightly due primarily tonegative currency conversion.” He said that PPG’s overall salesvolumes grew 6 percent over 2009 even with a decline in thecompany’s architectural coatings businesses serving the matureregions.
“The shift of our portfolio to focus on coatings and opticalproducts has significantly reduced our capital intensity. As aresult, we have additional cash for earnings growth opportunitiesand to return to shareholders. Year-to-date, we have returnednearly 80 percent of our cash from operations to shareholders inthe form of dividends and share repurchases,” Bunch said. PPGraised its quarterly dividend to 55 cents per share on July 15, andit has spent about $275 million year-to-date to acquire 4.2 millionshares of PPG stock at an average per-share price of approximately$65.
Looking forward, Bunch said, “While we anticipate continued gradualrecovery in economic conditions, Our focus continues to be onoperational excellence as we remain committed to cost management.We are also working diligently to offset higher raw materialcosts.” He said that PPG is implementing price increases for manyof its products, including several in the Commodity Chemicalssegment.
Bunch concluded, “We are planning to use our strong balance sheetover the next several quarters to further accelerate earningsgrowth through ‘bolt-on’ acquisitions and continued, selectiveshare repurchases. We delivered record results despite the factthat the sales in our businesses have yet to fully recover. This,combined with our continued organic growth prospects and strongfinancial flexibility, give me optimism about our future earningspotential.”
