The accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are an integral part of these statements.
RPM INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — CONSOLIDATION, NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included for the three- andthree-and nine-month periods ended February 29, 202028, 2021 and February 28, 2019.29, 2020. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2019.2020.
Our financial statements include all of our majority-owned subsidiaries. We account for our investments in less-than-majority-owned joint ventures, for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, under the equity method. Effects of transactions between related companies are eliminated in consolidation.
Noncontrolling interests are presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements as if parent company investors (controlling interests) and other minority investors (noncontrolling interests) in partially-owned subsidiaries have similar economic interests in a single entity. As a result, investments in noncontrolling interests are reported as equity in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, our Consolidated Financial Statements include 100% of a controlled subsidiary’s earnings, rather than only our share. Transactions between the parent company and noncontrolling interests are reported in equity as transactions between stockholders, provided that these transactions do not create a change in control.
Our business is dependent on external weather factors. Historically, we have experienced strong sales and net income in our first, second and fourth fiscal quarters comprising the three-month periods ending August 31, November 30 and May 31, respectively, with weaker performance in our third fiscal quarter (December through February).
NOTE 2 — NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
New Pronouncements Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which increases lease transparency and comparability among organizations. Under the new standard, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset representing our right to use an underlying asset and a lease liability representing our obligation to make lease payments over the lease term, with the exception of leases with a term of 12 months or less, which permits a lessee to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. In March 2018, the FASB approved an alternative transition method to the modified retrospective approach, which eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements and requires the cumulative effect of the retrospective allocation to be recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of adoption.
We adopted the new leasing standard on the required effective date of June 1, 2019 using the alternative transition method as described above. Results for reporting periods beginning on June 1, 2019 are presented under Topic 842, while prior period amounts continue to be reported and disclosed in accordance with our historical accounting treatment under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840, “Leases (ASC 840).” We elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitted under the ASC 842 transition guidance. Accordingly, we did not reassess whether any expired or expiring contracts contain leases, lease classification between finance and operating leases, and the recognition of initial direct costs of leases commencing before the effective date. We also applied the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components to existing leases, as well as new leases through transition. However, we did not elect the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases. As a result of our adoption procedures, we have determined that the new guidance had a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Statements of Income, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows or our debt covenants. The effects of our transition to ASC 842 resulted in 0 cumulative adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. Refer to Note 13, “Leases,” for additional information.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement (Topic 220), Reporting Comprehensive Income: Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” which allows for an entity to reclassify the tax effects of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Act”) that were previously recorded in accumulated comprehensive income to retained earnings. The adoption of this new guidance, effective June 1, 2019, did not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements as we did not elect the option to reclassify to retained earnings the tax effects resulting from the Tax Act that were previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”).
New Pronouncements Issued
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” which requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Additionally, the standard amends the current available-for-sale securitysecurities other-than-temporary impairment model for debt securities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods therein. EarlyThe adoption is permitted beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this new pronouncement, but doguidance, effective June 1, 2020, using the modified retrospective transition method, did not expect our adoptionresult in a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of this guidance toretained earnings at June 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on ourthe Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Refer to Note 14, “Revenue” for additional information.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,” to eliminate step two from the goodwill impairment test in order to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. AdoptionThe adoption of this new guidance, iseffective June 1, 2020, did not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which makes a number of changes meant to add, modify or remove certain disclosure requirements associated with the movement amongst or hierarchy associated with Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of the update. We do not expect ourThe adoption of this new guidance, toeffective June 1, 2020, did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.Statements or disclosures.
New Pronouncements Issued
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20), Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans,” which makes a number of changes meant to add, modify or remove certain disclosure requirements associated with employers that sponsor defined benefit or other postretirement plans. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginningending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities and the amendments in this update are required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. We are
currently reviewingevaluating the provisionsexpected impact of this new pronouncement on our annual Consolidated Financial Statements, and disclosures, but do not expect our adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.impact.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740),” which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, including adoption in any interim period for which financial statements have not yet been issued. Depending on the amendment, adoption may be applied on the retrospective, modified retrospective or prospective basis. We are currently reviewing the provisions of this new pronouncement, but do not expect our adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 3 — CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, we changed our method of accounting for shipping and handling costs, which we have identified as costs paid to third-party shippers for transporting products to customers. Under the new method of accounting, we include shipping costs in cost of sales, whereas previously, they were included in SG&A expense.
We believe that including these expenses in cost of sales is preferable, as it better aligns these costs with the related revenue in the gross profit calculation and is consistent with the practices of other industry peers. This change in accounting principle has been applied retrospectively, and the Consolidated Statements of Income reflect the effect of this accounting principle change for all periods presented. This reclassification had no impact on income before income taxes, net income attributable to RPM International Inc. Stockholders, net income or earnings per share. The Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Comprehensive Income, Statements of Stockholders’ Equity, and Statements of Cash Flows were not impacted by this accounting principle change.
The Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019 have been adjusted to reflect this change in accounting principle. The impact of the adjustment for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2019 was an increase of $36.7 million and $125.6 million, respectively, to cost of sales and a corresponding decrease to selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense.
NOTE 4 — RESTRUCTURING
We record restructuring charges associated with management-approved restructuring plans to either reorganize one or more of our business segments, or to remove duplicative headcount and infrastructure associated with our businesses. Restructuring charges can include severance costs to eliminate a specified number of employees, infrastructure charges to vacate facilities and consolidate operations, contract cancellation costs and other costs. Restructuring charges are recorded based upon planned employee termination dates and site closure and consolidation plans. The timing of associated cash payments is dependent upon the type of restructuring charge and can extend over a multi-year period. We record the short-term portion of our restructuring liability in Other Accrued Liabilities and the long-term portion, if any, in Other Long-Term Liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
2020 MAP to Growth
Between May and August 2018, we approved and implemented the initial phases of a multi-year restructuring plan, which was originally referred to as the 2020 Margin Acceleration Plan (“2020 MAP to Growth”). The initial phases of our 2020 MAP to Growth affected all of our reportable segments, as well as our corporate/nonoperating segment, and focused on margin improvement by simplifying business processes; reducing inventory categories and rationalizing SKUs; eliminating underperforming businesses; reducing headcount and working capital; and improving operating efficiency. The majority of the activities included in the initial phases of the restructuring activities have been substantially completed.
During the quarter ended November 30, 2018, we formally announced the remainder of our 2020 MAP to Growth. This multi-year restructuring is expected to increase operational efficiency while maintaining our entrepreneurial growth culture and will include three additional phases originally expected to be implemented between September 2018 and December 2020. Recently, however, theThe disruption caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 is expected to delay our implementationCovid-19 (“Covid”) delayed the finalization of our 2020 MAP to Growth past the original target completion date of December 31, 2020. In recognition of the fact our restructuring plan extends past calendar year 2020, we will now refer to it simply as “MAP to Growth.”
As previously disclosed, we expect to utilize the remainder of fiscal year 2021 to achieve the goals originally set forth in our MAP to Growth. Certain of these projects may not be finalized until fiscal year 2022 and we would expect to continue to recognize restructuring expense throughout fiscal year 2022, as projects related to our MAP to Growth are executed and completed. As such, the final implementation and total expected costs are subject to change.
Our execution of the 2020 MAP to Growth will continue to drive the de-layering and simplification of management and businesses associated with group realignment. We have implemented four center-led functional areas including manufacturing and operations; procurement and supply chain; information technology; and accounting and finance.
Our 2020 MAP to Growth optimizes our manufacturing facilities and will ultimately provide more efficient plant and distribution facilities. Through the balance sheet date, in association with our 2020 MAP to Growth, initiative, we have completed, or are in the process of completing, the planned closure of 1926 plants and 2427 warehouses. We also expect to incur additional severance and benefit costs as part of our planned closure of these facilities.
Throughout the additional phasesremainder of our 2020 MAP to Growth, initiative, we will continue to assess and find areas of improvement and cost savings. As such, the final implementation of the aforementioned phases and total expected costs are subject to change. In addition to the announced plan, we have continued to broaden the scope of our 2020 MAP to Growth, initiative, specifically in consolidation of the general and administrative areas, potential outsourcing, as well as additional future plant closures and consolidations; the estimated costs of which have not yet been finalized. The current total expected costs associated with this plan are outlined in the table below and increased by approximately $7.5$0.8 million compared to our previous estimate, primarily attributable to increases in expected severance and benefit charges of $4.6$1.3 million and expected facility closure and other related costs of $2.5 million and $0.4 million$0.2 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in expected other restructuring costs of other asset write-offs.$0.7 million.

In connection with our 2020 MAP to Growth, during the three months ended February 28, 2021, we incurred inventory-related charges of approximately $0.9 million at our Consumer segment. During the three months ended February 29, 2020, we incurred inventory-related charges of approximately $0.2 million at our Consumer segment and $0.1 million of inventory-related charges at each of our CPG, PCG CPG and Specialty segments.SPG segments, respectively. During the nine months ended February 28, 2021, we incurred inventory-related charges of approximately $1.0 million at our Consumer segment. During the nine months ended February 29, 2020, we incurred approximately $7.4 million, $3.2 million, $0.3 million and $0.1 million of inventory-related charges at our Consumer, PCG, CPG, and SpecialtySPG segments, respectively. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, we incurred approximately $0.9 million, $0.8 million and $0.2 million of inventory-related charges at our PCG, Consumer and CPG segments, respectively. During the nine months ended February 28, 2019, we incurred $7.5 million, $2.1 million and $0.7 million of inventory-related charges at our PCG, Consumer and CPG segments, respectively. The fiscal 2019 inventory-related charges were partially offset by a favorable adjustment of approximately $0.2 million to the fiscal 2018 inventory write-off at our Consumer segment. All of the aforementioned inventory-related charges are recorded in cost of sales in our Consolidated Statements of Income. These inventory charges were the result of the exit of a business or product line and SKU rationalization initiatives in connection with our overall plan of restructuring.
NOTE 54 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Financial instruments recorded in the balance sheet include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, marketable securities, notes and accounts payable, and debt.
An allowance for anticipatedexpected uncollectible trade receivable amounts is established using a combination of specifically identified accounts to be reserved, and a reserve covering trends in collectibility. These estimates are based on an analysis of trends in collectibility and past experience, but are primarily made up of individual account balances identified as doubtful based on specific facts and conditions. Receivable losses are charged against the allowance when we confirmconclude on uncollectibility.
All derivative instruments are recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value. Changes in the fair values of derivative instruments that do not qualify as hedges and/or any ineffective portion of hedges are recognized as a gain or (loss) in our Consolidated Statements of Income in the current period. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments used effectively as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), along with the change in the value of the hedged item. We do not hold or issue derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
The valuation techniques utilized for establishing the fair values of assets and liabilities are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value, as follows:
Level 1 Inputs — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 Inputs — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 Inputs — Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.
The following tables present our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy. In addition, with respect to our derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value, refer to Note 5, “Derivatives and Hedging” for discussion of their classification within the fair value hierarchy.

Our investments in available-for-sale debt securities and trading and othermarketable equity securities are valued using a market approach. The availability of inputs observable in the market varies from instrument to instrument and depends on a variety of factors, including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is actively traded and other characteristics particular to the transaction. For most of our financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely accepted by market participants, and the valuation does not require significant management discretion. For other financial instruments, pricing inputs are less observable in the market and may require management judgment.
The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of the additional variable cash consideration payable in connection with recent acquisitions that is contingent upon the achievement of certain performance milestones. We estimated the fair value using expected future cash flows over the period in which the obligation is expected to be settled, and applied a discount rate that appropriately captures a market participant's view of the risk associated with the obligation, which are considered to be Level 3 inputs. During the first nine months of fiscal 2020,2021, we paid approximately $6.1 million for settlements of contingent consideration obligations relating to certain performance milestones that were established in prior periods and achieved during the current period. During the first nine months of fiscal 2019, we paid approximately $4.7$2.8 million for settlements of contingent consideration obligations relating to certain performance milestones that were established in prior periods and achieved during the current period, and recorded an increase in the accrual for approximately $2.7 million and $5.8$1.8 million related to fair value adjustmentsadjustments. During the first nine months of fiscal 2020, we paid approximately $6.1 million for settlements of contingent consideration obligations relating to certain performance milestones that were established in prior periods and new acquisitions, respectively.achieved during the first nine months of last year. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, payments of acquisition-related contingent consideration for the amount recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date are reported in cash flows from financing activities, while payments of contingent consideration in excess of fair value are reported in cash flows from operating activities.
The carrying value of our current financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. At February 29, 202028, 2021 and May 31, 2019,2020, the fair value of our long-term debt was estimated using active market quotes, based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, which are Level 2 inputs. Based on the analysis performed, the fair value and the carrying value of our financial instruments and long-term debt as of February 29, 202028, 2021 and May 31, 20192020 are as follows:

NOTE 65 — DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage the volatility related to these exposures, from time to time, we enter into various derivative transactions. We use various types of derivative instruments including forward contracts and swaps. We formally assess, designate and document, as a hedge of an underlying exposure, each qualifying derivative instrument that will be accounted for as an accounting hedge at inception. Additionally, we assess, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments used in the hedging transaction are effective at offsetting changes in either the fair values or cash flows of the underlying exposures.
Derivatives Designated as Hedges
In October 2017, as a means of mitigating the impact of currency fluctuations on our Euro investments in foreign entities, we executed a fair value hedge and 2 cross currency swaps, in which we will paypaid variable rate interest in Euros and receivereceived fixed rate interest in U.S. Dollars with a combined notional amount of approximately €85.25 million ($100 million U.S. Dollar equivalent), and which havehad a maturity date of November 2022. This effectively convertsconverted a portion of our U.S. Dollar denominated fixed-rate debt to Euro denominated variable rate debt. The fair value hedge iswas recognized at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, while changes in the fair value of the hedge arewere recognized in interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income. We designated the swaps as net investment hedges of our net investment in our European operations under ASU 2017-12 and applied the spot method to these hedges. In February 2020, the fair value hedge and 2 cross currency swaps agreements were terminated, and we received cash in the amount of $9.3 million, representing the fair value of the swap and interest accrued through the date of termination. Accordingly, hedge accounting was discontinued and a hedge accounting adjustment to our Senior Notes of $1.5 million was recorded and is being amortized to interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of OperationsIncome through the termination of the 3.450% Notes in November 2022. Changes in the fair value of the cross currency swaps due to spot foreign exchange rates are recorded as cumulative translation adjustment within AOCI and will remain in AOCI until either the sale or substantially complete liquidation of the hedged subsidiaries.
Separately, in February 2020, as a means of mitigating the impact of currency fluctuations on our Euro investments in foreign entities, we executed a cash flow hedge and 2 cross currency swaps, in which we will pay fixed rate interest in Euros and receive variable rate interest in U.S. Dollars with a combined notional amount of approximately €277.73 million ($300 million U.S. Dollar equivalent), and which have a maturity date of February 2023. This effectively converts our U.S. Dollar denominated variable rate debt to Euro denominated fixed rate debt. The cash flow hedge is recognized at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, while changes in the fair value of the hedge will be recognized in AOCI when the hedged items affect earnings. Amounts recognized in AOCI will be recognized in earnings in interest expense when the hedged interest payment is accrued. We designated the swaps as net investment hedges of our net investment in our European operations under ASU 2017-12 and applied the spot method to these hedges. The changes in fair value of the derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations are recognized in AOCI to offset the changes in the values of the net investments being hedged. In addition, in February 2020, as a means of mitigating the variability of the functional-currency-equivalent cash flows associated with the U.S. Dollar denominated term loan facility (referred to as Foreign Borrower’s Term Loan), we executed a cash flow hedge, in which we will pay fixed rate interest in Euros and receive variable rate interest in U.S. Dollars with a notional amount of approximately €92.52 million ($100 million U.S. Dollar equivalent), and which have a maturity date of February 2023. This effectively converts our U.S. Dollar denominated variable rate debt to Euro denominated fixed rate debt. The cash flow hedge is recognized at fair value in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, while changes in the fair value of the hedge will be recognized in AOCI when the hedged items affect earnings. Amounts recorded in AOCI will be recognized in earnings in interest expense when the hedged interest payment is accrued. In addition, since this currency swap is a hedge of variability of the functional currency equivalent cash flows of a recognized liability to be remeasured at spot exchange rates under ASC 830, an amount that will offset the gain or loss arising from the remeasurement of the hedged liability will be reclassified each period from AOCI to earnings as foreign exchange gain/(loss), which is a component of SG&A expenses.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
At February 29, 2020,28, 2021, and May 31, 2019,2020, we held 1 foreign currency forward contract at each period end designed to reduce our exposure to changes in the cash flows of intercompany foreign-currency-denominated loans related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates by fixing the functional currency cash flows. The contract has not been designated as a hedge; therefore, the changes in fair value of the derivative are recognized in earnings as a component of SG&A expenses. Amounts recognized in earnings did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements for any period presented. As of February 29, 202028, 2021, and May 31, 2019,2020, the notional amounts of the forward contract held to purchase foreign currencies was $59.1$168.1 million and $38.7$63.2 million, respectively.
Disclosure about Derivative Instruments
All of our derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. We determine the fair value of our derivatives based on valuation methods, which project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to present value using market based observable inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign currency rates, as well as future and basis point spreads, as applicable.

NOTE 98 — INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate of 31.1% for the three months ended February 28, 2021 compares to the effective income tax rate of 25.9% for the three months ended February 29, 2020 compares to the effective income tax benefit rate of 224.7% for the three months ended February 28, 2019.2020. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 reflectsreflect variances from the 21% statutory rate due primarily to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, non-deductible business expenses, the net tax on foreign subsidiary income resulting from the global intangible low-taxed income provisions and an increase in valuation allowances related to foreign net operating losses. Additionally, during the quarter,three-month period ended February 28, 2021, we recorded a net favorable$5.3 million discrete tax adjustment totaling $0.3 million. The net favorable discrete tax adjustment is comprised of a $10.9 million charge for an increase to our deferred income tax liability for withholding taxes on additional unremitted foreign earnings not considered permanently reinvested which was offset primarily by tax benefits associated with equity compensation, favorable adjustments related to foreign tax credits, and favorable adjustments related to the global intangible low-tax provisions, resulting from final Treasury Regulations issued during this quarter, and as reported on our 2019 U.S. federal income tax return.reinvested.
The effective income tax benefit rate of 224.7%25.2% for the threenine months ended February 28, 2019 reflects variances from the 21% statutory rate due primarily2021 compares to the favorable impact of $12.7 million of net discrete tax benefits recorded during the quarter and the amplified impact of those tax benefits on the relatively low level of pre-tax earnings. The $12.7 million net discrete benefits recorded are primarily comprised of the net $8.1 million benefit resulting from completion of our SAB 118 accounting for the impact of the Tax Act, and the release of certain income tax reserves for uncertain tax positions.
The effective income tax rate of 24.9% for the nine months ended February 29, 2020 compares to the2020. The effective income tax rate of 17.8% for the nine months ended February 28, 2019. The effective income tax rate for nine months ended2021 and February 29, 2020 reflectsreflect variances from the 21% statutory rate due primarily to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, non-deductible business expenses, the net tax on foreign subsidiary income resulting from the global intangible low-taxed income provisions and an increase in valuation allowances related to foreign net operating losses, andpartially offset by tax benefits associated with equity compensation.
The effective income tax rate of 17.8% for the nine monthsnine- month period ended February 28, 20192021 also reflects variances from the 21% statutory rate due primarilyabove noted $5.3 million charge related to $16.5 million of net discrete tax benefits, which includes the $12.7 million net tax benefit described above with the remaining balance being recorded in the prior quarters of fiscal 2019. These discrete tax benefits were partially offset primarily by the unfavorable impact of state and local taxes and incremental valuation allowances associated with certain foreign net operating losses.earnings not permanently reinvested.
Our deferred tax liability for unremitted foreign earnings was $29.7$17.7 million as of February 29, 2020,28, 2021, which represents our estimate of the foreign tax cost associated with the deemed remittance of $631.9$620.7 million of foreign earnings that are not considered to be permanently reinvested. We have not provided for foreign withholding or income taxes on the remaining foreign subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings because such earnings have been retained and reinvested by the subsidiaries as of February 29, 2020.28, 2021. Accordingly, 0 provision has been made for foreign withholding or income taxes, which may become payable if the remaining undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries were remitted to us as dividends.

NOTE 1110 — STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

As announced on November 28, 2018, our goal iswas to return $1.0 billion in capital to stockholders by May 31, 2021 through share repurchases. On April 16, 2019, after taking into account share repurchases under our existing stock repurchase program to date, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of the remaining $600.0 million in value of RPM International Inc. common stock by May 31, 2021. As a result, we may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market or in private transactions at various times and in amounts and for prices that our management deems appropriate, subject to insider trading rules and other securities law restrictions. The timing of our purchases will depend upon prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors. We may limit or terminate the repurchase program at any time.
As previously announced, given macroeconomic uncertainty resulting from the Covid pandemic, we had suspended stock repurchases under the program. During a meeting in January 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the resumption of the stock repurchases under the stock repurchase program. At the time of resuming the program, $469.7 million of shares of common stock remained available for repurchase. The Board of Directors also extended the stock repurchase program beyond its original May 31, 2021 expiration date until such time that the remaining $469.7 million of shares of capital has been returned to our stockholders.
During the three and nine months ended February 28, 2021, we repurchased 290,174 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $24.6 million, or an average of $84.87 per share. During the three months ended February 29, 2020, we did 0t repurchase any shares of our common stock under this program. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, we repurchased 1,570,647 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $91.2 million, or an average cost of $58.08 per share, under this program. During the nine months ended February 29, 2020, we repurchased 1,655,616 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $100.0 million, or an average cost of $60.40 per share, under this program.

NOTE 13—LEASES
We have leases for manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office facilities, equipment, and vehicles, which are primarily classified and accounted for as operating leases. We have a small portfolio of finance leases, which are not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. Some leases include one or more options to renew, generally at our sole discretion, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to five years or more. In addition, certain leases contain termination options, where the rights to terminate are held by either us, the lessor, or both parties. These options to extend or terminate a lease are included in the lease terms when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. We have made an accounting policy election not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less, with no purchase option that we are reasonably certain to exercise. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the fixed and in-substance fixed lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. The ROU assets also include any initial direct costs incurred and lease payments made at or before the commencement date and are reduced by lease incentives. We use our incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate to determine the present value of the lease payments for leases, as our leases do not have readily determinable implicit discount rates. Our incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that we would have to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and amount in a similar economic environment. We determine the incremental borrowing rates for our leases by adjusting the local risk-free interest rate with a credit risk premium corresponding to our credit rating.
Operating lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance lease cost is recognized as a combination of the amortization expense for the ROU assets and interest expense for the outstanding lease liabilities using the discount rate discussed above. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. Certain vendors have the right to declare that we are in default of our agreements if any such vendor, including the lessors under its vehicle leases, determines that a change in our financial condition poses a substantially increased credit risk. Our lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Income from subleases was not significant for any period presented.
During the three months ended February 29, 2020, we incurred lease costs of $20.3 million, which is primarily comprised of operating lease cost of $18.2 million and other costs of $2.1 million which include costs for our finance leases, short-term leases, and variable lease payments.
During the nine months ended February 29, 2020, we incurred lease costs of $62.5 million, which is primarily comprised of operating lease costs of $54.1 million and other costs of $8.4 million, which include costs for our finance leases, short-term leases and variable lease payments.
For the three and nine months ended February 29, 2020, we paid approximately $17.1 million and $51.1 million, respectively, for operating lease obligations. These payments are included in operating cash flows. In addition, during the nine months ended February 29, 2020, we recognized ROU assets for $54.8 million in exchange for new operating lease obligations. At February 29, 2020, the weighted-average remaining lease term under our operating leases was 9.4 years, while the weighted-average discount rate for our operating leases was approximately 3.7%.
The following represents our future undiscounted cash flows for each of the next five years and thereafter and reconciliation to the lease liabilities, as of February 29, 2020:

Due to slightly lower discount rates, net periodic pension and U.S. postretirement cost for fiscal 20202021 is higher than our fiscal 20192020 expense. We expect that pension expense will fluctuate on a year-to-year basis, depending upon the investment performance of plan assets and potential changes in interest rates, but such changes are not expected to beand these fluctuations may have a material toimpact on our consolidated financial results.results in the future. We previously disclosed in our financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 20192020 that we expected to contribute approximately $0.9 million$8,000 to our retirement plans in the U.S. and approximately $6.4$6.7 million to plans outside the U.S. during the current fiscal year. However, during February 2020,As noted in prior quarters, throughout the year, we have evaluated whether to make additional contributions. As a result, we contributed an additional $51.5$62.1 million to the pension plans in the U.S., during the current quarter and have planned an additional contribution of $0.2 million before the end of our fiscal year, which will increase ourresult in total expected U.S. contributions in the fiscal year to $52.4of $62.3 million.
NOTE 1513 — CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER ACCRUED LOSSES
Product Liability Matters
We provide, through our wholly owned insurance subsidiaries, certain insurance coverage, primarily product liability coverage, to our other subsidiaries. Excess coverage is provided by third-party insurers. Our product liability accruals provide for these potential losses as well as other uninsured claims. Product liability accruals are established based upon actuarial calculations of potential liability using industry experience, actual historical experience and actuarial assumptions developed for similar types of product liability claims, including development factors and lag times. To the extent there is a reasonable possibility that potential losses could exceed the amounts already accrued, we believe that the amount of any such additional loss would be immaterial to our results of operations, liquidity and consolidated financial position.
Warranty Matters
We also offer warranties on many of our products, as well as long-term warranty programs at certain of our businesses, and have established product warranty liabilities. We review these liabilities for adequacy on a quarterly basis and adjust them as necessary. The primary factors that could affect these liabilities may include changes in performance rates as well as costs of replacement. Provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale and periodically adjusted, as required, to reflect actual experience. It is probable that we will incur future losses related to warranty claims we have received but that have not been fully investigated and related to claims not yet received. While our warranty liabilities represent our best estimates at February 29, 2020,28, 2021, we can provide no assurances that we will not experience material claims in the future or that we will not incur significant costs to resolve such claims beyond the amounts accrued or beyond what we may recover from our suppliers. Based upon the nature of the expense, product warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of sales or within SG&A.
Also, due to the nature of our businesses, the amount of claims paid can fluctuate from one period to the next. While our warranty liabilities represent our best estimates of our expected losses at any given time, from time-to-time we may revise our estimates based on our experience relating to factors such as weather conditions, specific circumstances surrounding product installations and other factors.
The following table includes the changes in our accrued warranty balances:

In addition, likeEnvironmental Matters
Like other companies participating in similar lines of business, some of our subsidiaries are involved in several proceedings relating to environmental matters. It is our policy to accrue remediation costs when itthe liability is probable that such efforts will be required and the related costs canare reasonably estimable, which generally is not later than at completion of a feasibility study or when the Company has committed to an appropriate plan of action. The Company also takes into consideration the estimated period of time over which payments may be reasonably estimated. In general, ourrequired. The liabilities are reviewed periodically and, as investigation and remediation activities continue, adjustments are made as necessary.

Carboline Company previously was identified as a potentially responsible party in connection with a matter filed on behalf of the U.S. EPA claiming that Carboline Company, among other potentially responsible parties violated Section 107at federal superfund sites or similar state-managed sites, third party indemnity obligations, and an assessment of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,likelihood that such parties will fulfill their obligations at such sites.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, Carboline Company agreed in principle to settle this matter for $1.3 million, which amount is subject to final approval and court entry of the proposed consent decree relating to this matter. Enforcement Action”
We were notified by the SEC on June 24, 2014, that we arewere the subject of a formal investigation pertaining to the timing of our disclosure and accrual of loss reserves in fiscal 2013 with respect to the previously disclosed U.S. Department Ofof Justice (the “DOJ”) and the U.S. General Services Administration (the “GSA”) Office of Inspector General investigation into compliance issues relating to Tremco Roofing Division’s GSA contracts. As previously disclosed, our Audit Committee completed an investigation into the facts and circumstances surrounding the timing of our disclosure and accrual of loss reserves with respect to the GSA and DOJ investigation, and determined that it was appropriate to restate our financial results for the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2013. The restatement shifted accrual amounts among the three quarters, which had the effect of reducing net income by $7.2 million and $10.8 million for the quarterly periods ended August 31, 2012, and November 30, 2012, respectively, and increasing net income for the quarterly period ended February 28, 2013 by $18.0 million. These restatements had no impact on our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2013 or 2014. The Audit Committee’s investigation concluded that there was no intentional misconduct on the part of any of our officers.
In connection with the foregoing, on September 9, 2016, the SEC filed an enforcement action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against us and our General Counsel. We have cooperated with the SEC’s investigation and believe the allegations in the complaint mischaracterize both our and our General Counsel’s actions in connection with the matters related to our quarterly results in fiscal 2013 and are without merit. The complaint seekssought disgorgement of gains that may have resulted from the conduct alleged in the complaint, and payment of unspecified monetary penalties from us and our General Counsel pursuant to Section 20(d) of the Securities Act and Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. Further, the complaint seekssought to permanently enjoin us from violations of Sections 17(a)(2) and (a)(3) of the Securities Act, Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act, and Exchange Act Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11 and 13a-13, and to permanently enjoin our General Counsel from violations of Sections 17(a)(2) and (a)(3) of the Securities Act and Exchange Act Rules 13b2-1 and 13b2-2(a). Both
On December 22, 2020, the Court entered its Final Judgment (the “Final Judgment”) resolving this matter with the SEC. In consenting to the terms of the Final Judgment, we and our General Counsel filed motionsneither admitted nor denied the SEC’s allegations.

Also, in connection with the foregoing, on April 28, 2017, a stockholder derivative action was filed in the United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, against certain of our current and former directors and officers. The court hasOn February 2, 2018, the Court granted our request for a stay and stayed this stockholderthe derivative action pending the completion of the SEC enforcement action.
The actionstay may be revisited by the Court now that the SEC could resultenforcement action has been resolved. We do not believe a material loss in sanctions against us and/or our General Counsel and could impose substantial additional costs and distractions, regardless of its outcome. We have determined that it is probable that we will incur a loss relating to this matter and have estimated a range of potential loss. We have accrued at the low end of the range of loss, as no amount within the range is more likely to occur, and no amount within the estimated range of loss would have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operationsreasonably possible or cash flows.probable.
NOTE 1614 – REVENUE
We operate a portfolio of businesses and product lines that manufacture and sell a variety of specialty paints, protective coatings, and roofing systems, sealants and adhesives. We disaggregate revenues from the sales of our products and services based upon geographical location by each of our reportable segments, which are aligned by similar economic factors, trends and customers, which best depict the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. See Note 17,15, “Segment Information,” for further details regarding our disaggregated revenues as well as a description of each of the unique revenue streams related to each of our 4 reportable segments.
Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. The majority of our revenue is recognized at a point in time. However, we also record revenues generated under construction contracts, mainly in connection with the installation of specialized roofing and flooring systems and related services. For certain polymer flooring installation projects, we account for our revenue using the output method, as we consider square footage of completed flooring to be the best measure of progress toward the complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. In contrast, for certain of our roofing installation projects, we account for our revenue using the input method, as that method was the best measure of performance as it considers costs incurred in relation to total expected project costs, which essentially represents the transfer of control for roofing systems to the customer. In general, for our construction contracts, we record contract revenues and related costs as our contracts progress on an over-time model.
We have elected to apply the practical expedient to recognize revenue net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although our customers’ payment terms generally include a requirement to pay within 30 to 60 days of fulfilling our performance obligations. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined that our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. We have elected to apply the practical expedient to treat all shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs, as a significant portion of these costs are incurred prior to control transfer.
Significant Judgments
Our contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple products and/or services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. For example, judgment is required to determine whether products sold in connection with the sale of installation services are considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together with installation services and recognized over time.
We provide customer rebate programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing and co-operative advertising arrangements, promotions and other volume-based incentives. These customer programs and incentives are considered variable consideration.consideration and recognized as a reduction of net sales. Up-front consideration provided to customers is capitalized as a component of other assets and amortized over the estimated life of the contractual arrangement. We include in revenue variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the variable consideration is resolved. In general, this determination is made based upon known customer program and incentive offerings at the time of sale, and expected sales volume forecasts as it relates to our volume-based incentives. This determination is updated each reporting period. Certain of our contracts include contingent consideration that is receivable only upon the final inspection and acceptance of a project. We include estimates of such variable consideration in our transaction price. Based on historical experience, we consider the probability-based expected value method appropriate to estimate the amount of such variable consideration.
Our products are generally sold with a right of return and we may provide other credits or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. We record a right of return liability to accrue for expected customer returns. Historical actual returns are used to estimate future returns as a percentage of current sales. Obligations for returns and refunds were not material individually or in the aggregate.
We offer assurance type warranties on our products as well as separately sold warranty contracts. Revenue related to warranty contracts that are sold separately is recognized over the life of the warranty term. Warranty liabilities for our assurance type warranties are discussed further in Note 15,13, “Contingencies and Other Accrued Losses.”
Contract Balances
Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing customers. Our contract assets are recorded for products and services that have been provided to our customer but have not yet been billed, and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Our short-term contract liabilities consist of advance payments, or deferred revenue, and are included in other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects our best estimate of probable losses inherent in the accounts receivable balance. We determine the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience, and other currently available evidence. The $1.2$7.8 million changeincrease in our net contract liabilities(liabilities) from November 30, 20192020 to February 29, 202028, 2021 resulted primarily due to the timing and volume of construction jobs in progress at February 28, 2021 versus November 30, 2020. During the $3.2third quarter of fiscal 2021, net sales at our U.S. based general contracting and roofing services business decreased by $26.6 million changeas compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, unbilled revenue is typically higher in the fall months (at the conclusion of RPM’s second fiscal quarter) when favorable weather generally allows our installers to maximize productivity, and is lower throughout the winter months (at the conclusion of RPM’s third fiscal quarter) when inconsistent weather adversely impacts productivity.
The $8.9 million increase in our net contract liabilities(liabilities) from May 31, 20192020 to February 29, 202028, 2021 resulted primarily fromdue to the seasonalitytiming and timing associated with ourvolume of construction jobs in progress during peak summerat February 28, 2021 versus May 31, 2020. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, net sales at our U.S. based general contracting and fallroofing services business decreased by $41.9 million as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Due to the seasonal nature of our business, unbilled revenue is typically higher in the spring months versus(at the slowerconclusion of RPM’s fourth fiscal quarter) when favorable weather generally allows our installers to maximize productivity, and is lower throughout the winter months. months (at the conclusion of RPM’s third fiscal quarter) when inconsistent weather adversely impacts productivity.
We also record long-term deferred revenue, which amounted to $67.3 million, $67.1 million, $66.9 million and $66.5$66.0 million as of February 29, 2020,28, 2021, November 30, 20192020 and May 31, 2019,2020, respectively. The long-term portion of deferred revenue is related to warranty contracts and is included in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
We have elected to adopt the practical expedient to not disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of the end of the reporting period for performance obligations that are part of a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less.
We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. As our contract terms are primarily one year or less in duration, we have elected to apply a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs include our internal sales force compensation program and certain incentive programs as we have determined annual compensation is commensurate with annual sales activities.
Allowance for Credit Losses
Our primary allowance for credit losses is the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reduces the trade accounts receivable balance to the estimated net realizable value equal to the amount that is expected to be collected. The allowance was based on assessments of current creditworthiness of customers, historical collection experience, the aging of receivables and other currently available evidence. Trade accounts receivable balances are written-off against the allowance if a final determination of uncollectibility is made. All provisions for allowances for doubtful collection of accounts are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
The following tables summarize the activity for the allowance for credit losses for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2021:

NOTE 1715 — SEGMENT INFORMATION
Effective June 1, 2019, we realigned certain businesses and management structure to recognize how we allocate resources and analyze the operating performance of our businesses. Among other things, the realignment of certain businesses occurred as a result of the 2020 MAP to Growth that was approved and initiated between May and August 2018. As we began to execute on our operating improvement initiatives, we identified ways to realign certain businesses, and concluded that moving to an expanded reporting structure could help us to better manage our assets and improve synergies across the enterprise.
This realignment changed our reportable segments beginning with our first quarter of fiscal 2020. As such we now report under 4 reportable segments instead of our 3 previous reportable segments. Our four reporting segments are: the CPG reportable segment, PCG reportable segment, Consumer reportable segment and Specialty reportable segment. In connection with the realignment, we
shifted our Kirker business out of Consumer into Specialty, and also shifted our Dryvit and Nudura businesses out of Specialty into CPG. The newly formed CPG also includes our Tremco, Tremco illbruck, Euclid Chemical, Viapol, Vandex and Flowcrete businesses. PCG includes Stonhard, Carboline, USL and Fibergrate businesses, while Consumer comprises the Rust-Oleum and DAP businesses.
We operate a portfolio of businesses and product lines that manufacture and sell a variety of specialty paints, protective coatings and roofing systems, flooring solutions, sealants, cleaners and adhesives. We manage our portfolio by organizing our businesses and product lines into four reportable segments as outlined above,below, which also represent our operating segments. Within each operating segment, we manage product lines and businesses which generally address common markets, share similar economic characteristics, utilize similar technologies and can share manufacturing or distribution capabilities. Our 4 operating segments represent components of our business for which separate financial information is available that is utilized on a regular basis by our chief operating decision maker in determining how to allocate the assets of the company and evaluate performance. These four operating segments are each managed by an operating segment manager, who is responsible for the day-to-day operating decisions and performance evaluation of the operating segment’s underlying businesses. We evaluate the profit performance of our segments primarily based on income before income taxes, but also look to earnings (loss) before interest and taxes (“EBIT”), and/or adjusted EBIT, as a performance evaluation measure because interest expense is essentially related to acquisitions, as opposed to segment operations.
Our CPG reportable segment products are sold throughout North America and also account for the majority of our international sales. Our construction product lines are sold directly to contractors, distributors and end-users, such as industrial manufacturing facilities, public institutions and other commercial customers. Products and services within this reportable segment include construction sealants and adhesives, coatings and chemicals, roofing systems, concrete admixture and repair products, building envelope solutions, insulated cladding, flooring systems, and weatherproofing solutions.
Our PCG reportable segment products are sold throughout North America, as well as internationally, and are sold directly to contractors, distributors and end-users, such as industrial manufacturing facilities, public institutions and other commercial customers. Products and services within this reportable segment include high-performance flooring solutions, corrosion control and fireproofing coatings, infrastructure repair systems, fiberglass reinforced plastic gratings and drainage systems.
Our Consumer reportable segment manufactures and markets professional use and do-it-yourself (“DIY”) products for a variety of mainly consumer applications, including home improvement and personal leisure activities. Our Consumer segment’s major manufacturing and distribution operations are located primarily in North America, along with a few locations in Europe and other parts of the world. Our consumerConsumer reportable segment products are primarily sold directly to mass merchandisers, home improvement centers, hardware stores, paint stores, craft shops and through distributors. The Consumer reportable segment offers products that include specialty, hobby and professional paints; caulks; adhesives; cleaners; sandpaper and other abrasives; silicone sealants and wood stains.
Our SpecialtySPG reportable segment products are sold throughout North America and a few international locations, primarily in Europe. Our specialty product lines are sold directly to contractors, distributors and end-users, such as industrial manufacturing facilities, public institutions and other commercial customers. The SpecialtySPG reportable segment offers products that include industrial cleaners, restoration services equipment, colorants, nail enamels, exterior finishes, edible coatings and specialty glazes for pharmaceutical and food industries, and other specialty original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) coatings.
In addition to our four reportable segments, there is a category of certain business activities and expenses, referred to as corporate/other, that does not constitute an operating segment. This category includes our corporate headquarters and related administrative expenses, results of our captive insurance companies, gains or losses on the sales of certain assets and other expenses not directly associated with any reportable segment. Assets related to the corporate/other category consist primarily of investments, prepaid expenses and headquarters’ property and equipment. These corporate and other assets and expenses reconcile reportable segment data to total consolidated income before income taxes and identifiable assets.
We reflect income from our joint ventures on the equity method, and receive royalties from our licensees.
The following tables present a disaggregation of revenues by geography, and reflect the results of our reportable segments consistent with our management philosophy, by representing the information we utilize, in conjunction with various strategic, operational and other financial performance criteria, in evaluating the performance of our portfolio of businesses. Information for all periods presented has been recast to reflect the current year change in reportable segments.

NOTE 1816 — GOODWILL
We account for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350 and account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the entities acquired are recorded at their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of net assets acquired, including the amount assigned to identifiable intangible assets.
We assess goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or more frequently, if events and circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination as of the acquisition date. Once goodwill has been allocated to the reporting units, it no longer retains its identification with a particular acquisition and becomes identified with the reporting unit in its entirety. Accordingly, the fair value of the reporting unit as a whole is available to support the recoverability of its goodwill. We evaluate our reporting units when changes in our operating structure occur, and if necessary, reassign goodwill using a relative fair value allocation approach.
Subsequent to our prior annual impairment test as of the first day of our fourth fiscal quarter, the composition of our reportable segments was revised, as further discussed in Note 17, “Segment Information.” Prior to implementing the revised segment reporting structure beginning in fiscal 2020, our previously disclosed Industrial segment comprised 2 operating segments, the CPG operating segment and the PCG operating segment. Each of these operating segments comprised several reporting units, all of which were tested during our last annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.
Also, in connection with our 2020 Map to Growth, we realigned certain businesses and management structure within our Specialty segment. As such, our former Wood Finishes Group reporting unit was split into 2 separate reporting units: Guardian and Wood Finishes Group. Additionally, our former Kop-Coat Group reporting unit was split into 2 reporting units: Kop-Coat Industrial Protection Products and Kop-Coat Group. We performed a goodwill impairment test for each of the new reporting units upon the change in reportable segments, business realignment and management structure using a quantitative assessment. We concluded that the estimated fair values exceeded the carrying values for these new reporting units, and accordingly, no indications of impairment were identified as a result of these changes during the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
The following table summarizes the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, by reportable segment, for the periods presented:

The Company paid customary fees to the balance sheet date, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of the coronavirus disease known as COVID-19 as a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures. We are actively monitoring the impact of the coronavirus outbreak, which will negatively impact our business and results of operationsadministrative agent for our fiscal fourth quarter and likely beyond. The extent to which our operations will be impacted by the outbreak will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among other things.this financing.
As of April 8, 2020,7, 2021, we have repurchased 386,231303,887 shares of RPM common stock since February 29, 2020,28, 2021, at a cost of approximately $25.0$25.3 million, or an average of $64.73,$83.35, under the stock repurchase program described in Note 11.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our financial statements include all of our majority-owned subsidiaries. Investments in less-than-majority-owned joint ventures for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over are accounted for under the equity method. Preparation of our financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We continually evaluate these estimates, including those related to our allowances for doubtful accounts; reserves for excess and obsolete inventories; allowances for recoverable sales and/or value-added taxes; uncertain tax positions; useful lives of property, plant and equipment; goodwill and other intangible assets; environmental, warranties and other contingent liabilities; income tax valuation allowances; pension plans; and the fair value of financial instruments. We base our estimates on historical experience, our most recent facts, and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities. Actual results, which are shaped by actual market conditions, may differ materially from our estimates.
A comprehensive discussion of the accounting policies and estimates that are the most critical to our financial statements are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2019.
BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
Effective June 1, 2019, we realigned certain businesses and management structure to recognize how we allocate resources and analyze the operating performance of our businesses. Among other things, the realignment of certain businesses occurred as a result of the 2020 MAP to Growth that was approved and initiated between May and August 2018. As we began to execute on our operating improvement initiatives, we identified ways to realign certain businesses, and concluded that moving to an expanded reporting structure could help us to better manage our assets and improve synergies across the enterprise.
This realignment changed our reportable segments beginning with our first quarter of fiscal 2020. As such, as of June 1, 2019, we began reporting under four reportable segments instead of our three previous reportable segments. See Note 17, “Segment Information,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further detail.
BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The following tables reflect the results of our reportable segments consistent with our management philosophy, and represent the information we utilize, in conjunction with various strategic, operational and other financial performance criteria, in evaluating the performance of our portfolio of businesses. Information for all periods presented has been recast to reflect the current year change in reportable segments.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion describes our results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2020. While the recent outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) did not have a material adverse effect on our reported results for our fiscal third quarter, we are actively monitoring the impact of the coronavirus outbreak, which will negatively impact our business and results of operations for our fiscal fourth quarter and likely beyond. The extent to which our operations will be impacted by the outbreak will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the outbreak and actions by government authorities to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among other things.

Our CPG segment experienced organic growth quarter over quarter, despite commercial and institutional construction markets that continue to be soft in North America and Europe. The growth achieved during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 grew2021 was mainly driven by approximately 2.9% from net salesa focus on renovation and restoration projects, by expanding CPG’s position as a single-source provider of $1,140.6 million for last year’s third quarter. Organic sales, which include the impact of price and volume, contributed 3.0%building envelope systems. The segment also continued to consolidated net sales while acquisitions added 0.7%. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange impacted consolidated net sales during the current quarter by 0.8%.
CPG segment net sales for the current quarter grew by 4.7% to $372.1 million, from net sales of $355.3 million during the same period a year ago. Organic growth contributed 5.1%gain market share during the quarter mainly drivenin unique construction technologies, led by market share gains and the introduction of new products, with the fastest growth being generated in our roofing, below-grade waterproofing andits insulated concrete admixtures businesses. Recent acquisitions contributed 1.0% to net sales during the current quarter. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange negatively impacted CPG segment net sales by 1.4% during the current quarter. Construction activity picked up due to favorable weather early in this year’s third quarter, enabling CPG to catch up on projects that were delayed during the rainy spring and early summer months.form business, which is seeing increased adoption as a construction method versus traditional stick-built construction.
Our PCG segment netexperienced an organic sales for the current quarter grew by 1.0% to $255.7 million, from net sales of $253.2 million during the same period a year ago. Organic growth was 1.6%decline during the quarter driven mainly by selling price increases over the comparable period last year while recent acquisitions contributed 0.2% to net sales during the current quarter. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange negatively impacted PCG segment net sales by 0.8% during the current quarter. Our protective and marine coatings business unit increased market share and its continental European operations grew solidly, driven by a new global management structure. However, this growth was somewhat offset by the highway and bridge maintenance businesses, which was slowed by government budget constraints, particularly in the UK. Organic growth in the segment has further slowed due to recent strategic decisions to exit certain international businesses, while discontinued product lines reduced sales by approximately 1.5%.
Consumer segment net sales for the quarter grew by 5.4% to $398.7 million, from $378.3 million during last year’s third quarter. Organic growth provided 6.0%, while unfavorable foreign currency exchange negatively impacted net sales in the segment by 0.6% during the current quarter versus the same period a year ago. Increased sales volume resulted from market share gainscontinued deferral of flooring and unseasonably warm winter weather in North America that enabled consumers to complete more DIY home improvement projects. The fastest growth was achieved in our caulks, sealants, and patch and repair product lines.
Specialty segment net sales for the quarter decreased by 4.1% to $147.5 million, from $153.8 million during last year’s third quarter. Organic sales declined 7.1% during the current quarter,coating projects as a result of difficult comparisonsrestrictions associated with Covid, which impacted the ability of contractors to gain access to the prior yearfacilities of our end customers. Furthermore, our customers in the energy sector are facing poor economic conditions, which is causing deferrals in industrial maintenance spending.
Our Consumer segment experienced significant organic growth as it benefitted from its broad distribution and unprecedented demand worldwide for its “do-it-yourself” home improvement products, as consumers are spending more time at home during the Covid shutdowns. Additionally, cleaning product sales continue to grow with the increased emphasis on sanitation during the Covid pandemic.
Our SPG segment experienced strong demand for our water damage restoration products business whenbusinesses serving the cleaning and disinfecting, furniture, outdoor recreational equipment, food and OEM markets. We also experienced significant organic sales growth resulting from extreme weather events in North America, which drove demand in North America. Sales were also down infor our OEM fluorescent pigments, nail polish, and edible coatings businesses. These declines were somewhat offset byrestoration equipment business. Additionally, our wood coatings business which successfully outperformed its peers in a challenging market. Additionally, foreign currency exchange had an unfavorable impact on Specialty segment net sales for the quarter of 0.3%, while acquisitions added 3.3% of net sales during the quarter.
We now expect our net sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 to decrease in comparison to the prior year quarter,development efforts have accelerated as a result of a number of recent management changes.
As demonstrated above, Covid has had a mixed impact on our businesses, impacting some unfavorably and others favorably. RPM continues to be well-served by the disruption and uncertainty that COVID-19 is havingstrategic balance in its portfolio of businesses. It continues to be difficult to predict the future financial impact on the global economy. Asnet sales, as we cannot predict the duration or scope of the pandemic, but the future financial impact on net sales cannot be reasonably estimated, but could be material. The extent of the declineFuture performance in futurenet sales is dependent on several factors, including but not limited to: (i) the ability of our customers to continue operations (currently, many of our customers are considered “essential” and are open for business);operations; (ii) a potential forcontinued organic growth in DIY sales, as people spend more time at home; (iii) a potential forcontinued organic growth in professional and consumer cleaning and disinfectant brands, some of which are effective against COVID-19; andCovid; (iv) the nature and extent of facility closures as a result of COVID-19.Covid; (v) the length and severity of the downturn in energy and construction markets and associated unfavorable impact on maintenance spending in these sectors; and (vi) the ability for our suppliers to meet demand requirements. With that being said, we expect to generate double digit consolidated sales growth during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, in comparison to last year’s fourth quarter when RPM was most adversely impacted by the global pandemic.
Gross Profit Margin Our consolidated gross profit margin of 37.0%37.2% of net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 20202021 compares to a consolidated gross profit margin of 35.9%37.0% for the comparable period a year ago, after giving effect to the change in classification of shipping and handling costs. Last year’s reported gross profit margin of 39.1% has been recast to 35.9% in order to reflect the current year change in accounting principle related to shipping costs, which were previously recognized in SG&A expenses and are now recognized in cost of sales.ago. The current quarter gross profit margin increase of approximately 1.1%0.2%, or 20 basis points (“bps”), resulted primarily from MAP to Growth savings, which include raw material savings due to our centralized procurement initiatives, and higher sales volume versus the same period a year ago. Partially offsetting these savings, was higher freight costs during the current quarter, versus the comparable quarter in the prior year.
Overall, raw material cost inflation was neutral during the third quarter of fiscal 2021. However, several macroeconomic factors are creating inflationary pressure on certain key product categories, and we expect that these increased costs will be reflected in our results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and more significantly during fiscal year 2022. We plan to offset these increased costs with commensurate increases in selling prices. Furthermore, we have received “force majeure” notifications from many of our major
chemical suppliers, which may impact our ability to timely meet customer demand in certain of our businesses and across certain product categories.
The macroeconomic factors identified above include, but are not limited to, the following: (i) Supplier refineries operating less due to low gasoline and jet fuel demand, (ii) significant weather events which have disrupted our supply chain, such as the historic winter storm in February 2021, which impacted significant portions of the U.S., (iii) intermittent supplier plant shutdowns in response to the global pandemic, and (iv) significant worldwide demand during the pandemic for key items such as packaging, solvents, and chemicals used in cleaning products.
As we cannot predict the duration or scope of the Covid pandemic over the near term, the future financial impact to gross profit margin related to any further disruptions associated with Covid could be material to our operations.
SG&A Our consolidated SG&A expense during the period was $20.3 million higher versus the same period last year but decreased to 31.7% of net sales from 32.5% of net sales for the prior year quarter. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we continued our MAP to Growth and have generated incremental savings of approximately $6.3 million. Additional SG&A expense recognized by companies we recently acquired approximated $6.6 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2021.
Our CPG segment SG&A was approximately $4.4 million lower for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 versus the comparable prior year period and decreased as a percentage of net sales. The decrease was mainly due to reducing discretionary spending (i.e., meetings, travel, etc.) and MAP to Growth savings.
Our PCG segment SG&A was approximately $2.4 million lower for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 versus the comparable prior year period but increased as a percentage of net sales, mainly due to the deleveraging effect from lower sales volume compared to the prior comparable quarter. Additionally, the quarter over quarter PCG segment SG&A decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in discretionary spending and MAP to Growth savings.
Our Consumer segment SG&A increased by approximately $18.5 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 versus the same period last year, but decreased slightly as a percentage of net sales. The quarter-over-quarter increase in SG&A was attributable to the combination of the SG&A added from the company we recently acquired, which totaled $6.6 million. We also incurred increases in distribution costs and incentive compensation costs as a result of higher volume, as well as increases in advertising and promotional costs. Partially offsetting these increases were a reduction in discretionary spending during the quarter.
Our SPG segment SG&A was approximately $0.5 million lower during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 versus the comparable prior year period and decreased as a percentage of net sales. The decrease in SG&A expense is attributable to cost control measures and savings resulting from actions taken during the past year associated with our MAP to Growth and lower year-over-year spending on ERP implementations.
SG&A expenses in our corporate/other category increased by $9.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to last year’s third quarter due mainly to higher incentives related to performance and pension costs.
The following table summarizes the retirement-related benefit plans’ impact on income before income taxes for the three months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, as this activity has a significant impact on our SG&A expense:

We expect that pension expense will fluctuate on year-to-year basis, depending upon the investment performance of plan assets and potential changes in interest rates, both of which are difficult to predict in light of the lingering macroeconomic uncertainties associated with Covid, but which may have a material impact on our consolidated financial results in the future.
As we cannot predict the duration or 110 basis pointsscope of the Covid pandemic, the future financial impact to SG&A related to any further disruptions associated with Covid could be material. Disruptions caused by the outbreak of Covid may impact our near-term ability to
drive further reduction in SG&A as a percentage of sales. However, this will be offset to some degree by lower variable SG&A, such as reduced travel-related expenses incurred by our associates, due to travel restrictions in place because of the Covid outbreak.

These charges are associated with closures of certain facilities as well as the elimination of duplicative headcount and infrastructure associated with certain of our businesses and are the result of the continued implementation of our MAP to Growth, which focuses upon strategic shifts in operations across our entire business.
Our current expectation of total restructuring costs, including cumulative costs incurred to date and expected future costs, is summarized in the table below.

We previously expected these charges to be incurred by the end of calendar year 2020, upon which we expected to achieve an annualized pretax savings of approximately $290 million per year. However, the disruption caused by the outbreak of Covid delayed the finalization of our MAP to Growth past the original target completion date of December 31, 2020. We now expect to utilize the remainder of fiscal year 2021 to achieve the goals originally set forth in our MAP to Growth. Certain of these projects may not be finalized until fiscal year 2022 and we would expect to continue to recognize restructuring expense throughout fiscal year 2022, as projects related to our MAP to Growth are executed and completed.
Despite the delay in finalizing our MAP to Growth past the original target completion date, we expect we will have exceeded our annualized pretax savings goal of approximately $290 million and made substantial progress on our $230 million working capital improvement goal by May 31, 2021. See Note 3, “Restructuring,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for further details surrounding our MAP to Growth.

Our CPG segment results reflect proactive cost controls, MAP to Growth savings and the favorable leverage of sales volume increases. Our PCG segment results reflect the sales declines due to Covid pandemic restrictions and challenges in the energy markets, and pricing pressures on raw materials. Our Consumer segment results reflect the large increase in sales and related volume leveraging impact on margins. Our SPG segment results reflect sales increases in our restoration equipment business, as well as our businesses serving the furniture, cleaning and disinfecting, outdoor recreational equipment, food and OEM market, in addition to savings from our MAP to Growth and other cost cutting measures.
Income Tax Rate The effective income tax rate of 31.1% for the three months ended February 28, 2021 compares to the effective income tax rate of 25.9% for the three months ended February 29, 2020. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020 reflect variances from the 21% statutory rate primarily due to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, non-deductible business expenses, the net tax on foreign subsidiary income resulting from the global intangible low-taxed income provisions and an increase in valuation allowances related to foreign net operating losses. Additionally, during the three-month period ended February 28, 2021, we recorded a $5.3 million discrete charge for an increase to our deferred income tax liability for withholding taxes on additional unremitted foreign earnings not considered permanently reinvested.

Our CPG segment experienced organic growth driven mainly by market share gains in our construction technologies, led by our insulated concrete form business. In addition, our roofing business grew as we experienced better weather in the current year than the prior year when unfavorable conditions caused a delay in North American construction activity. Additionally, our commercial sealants business experienced sales increases during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 from distributors who did not order in April and May of the prior fiscal year, due to Covid lockdown restrictions.
Our PCG segment experienced organic declines during the period as restrictions associated with Covid impacted the ability of contractors to gain access to the facilities of our end customers. Furthermore, our customers in the energy sector are facing poor economic conditions, which is causing deferrals in industrial maintenance spending. The segment was particularly challenged in emerging markets. Lastly, a series of hurricanes throughout the Gulf region of the U.S. temporarily disrupted our coatings business.
Our Consumer segment experienced significant organic growth resulting from a combination of distribution gains and higher “do-it-yourself” demand as consumers are spending more time at home during the Covid shutdowns. In addition, growth in our cleaning product businesses contributed to sales growth for the current period.
Our SPG segment experienced strong demand for our businesses serving the cleaning and disinfecting, furniture, outdoor recreational equipment, food and OEM markets, in addition to organic growth resulting from extreme weather events in North America, which drove demand for our restoration equipment business. Additionally, sales of our industrial wood protection products increased during the period, a result of a stronger residential market, which has driven demand for lumber, furniture and cabinets in the U.S.
As demonstrated above, Covid has had a mixed impact on our businesses, impacting some unfavorably and others favorably. RPM continues to be well-served by the strategic balance in its portfolio of businesses. It continues to be difficult to predict the future financial impact on net sales, as we cannot predict the duration or scope of the pandemic, but the impact could be material. Future performance in net sales is dependent on several factors, including but not limited to: (i) the ability of our customers to continue operations; (ii) continued organic growth in DIY sales, as people spend more time at home; (iii) continued organic growth in professional and consumer cleaning and disinfectant brands, some of which are effective against Covid; (iv) the nature and extent of facility closures as a result of Covid; and (v) the length and severity of the downturn in energy markets and associated unfavorable impact on maintenance spending in this sector.
Gross Profit Margin Our consolidated gross profit margin of 39.2% of net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compares to a consolidated gross profit margin of 38.0% for the comparable period a year ago. The current period gross profit margin increase of approximately 1.2%, or 120 bps, resulted primarily from a combination of increases in selling prices, 2020 MAP to Growth savings, which include raw material savings due to our centralized procurement initiatives, and higher sales volume versus the same period a year ago.
Despite the recent outbreak of COVID-19, rawRaw material costs inflation seemswas neutral during the first nine months of fiscal 2021. However, several macroeconomic factors are creating inflationary pressure on certain key product categories, and we expect that these increased costs will be reflected in our results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and more significantly during fiscal year 2022. We plan to be moderatingoffset these increased costs with commensurate increases in a numberselling prices. Furthermore, we have received “force majeure” notifications from most of our keymajor chemical suppliers, which may impact our ability to timely meet customer demand in certain of our businesses and across certain product categories.

During the third quarterfirst nine months of fiscal 2020,2021, we continued our 2020 MAP to Growth and have generated incremental savings of approximately $3.8$18.7 million. Additional SG&A expense recognized by companies we recently acquired during the last 12 months approximated $2.1$13.1 million during the third quarterfirst nine months of fiscal 2020.2021.
Our CPG segment SG&A was approximately $10.1 million higher for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 versus the comparable prior year period and increased as a percentage of net sales, mainly due to additional commissions directly associated with higher sales volume. Additionally, companies acquired during the past 12 months contributed approximately $1.0 million of additional SG&A expense during the current quarter.
Our PCG segment SG&A was approximately $0.5$24.0 million lower for the third quarterfirst nine months of fiscal 20202021 versus the comparable prior year period and decreased as a percentage of net sales when compared to the prior year.

As we cannot predict the duration or scope of the COVID-19Covid pandemic, the future financial impact to SG&A cannot be reasonably estimated, butrelated to any further disruptions associated with Covid could be material. As described further below, theThe disruption caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 is expected to delay our implementation of our 2020 MAP to Growth past the original target completion date of December 31, 2020, whichCovid may impact our near-term ability to drive further reduction in SG&A as a percentage of sales. However, this will be offset to some degree by lower variable SG&A, such as reduced travel-related expenses incurred by our associates, due to travel restrictions in place because of the COVID-19Covid outbreak.
Restructuring Charges We recorded restructuring charges of $7.3 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2020, which compares with $8.7 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2019. These charges were the result of

Facility closure and other related costs totaled $2.2 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 versus $4.3 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Finally, $0.4 million of other asset write-offs during the current period compared with $0.9 million
during the same period a year ago. These charges were associated with closures of certain facilities as well as the elimination of duplicative headcount and infrastructure associated with certain of our businesses.
We currently expect to incur approximately $32.4 million of future additional charges in relation to implementation of our 2020 MAP to Growth. These additional charges include approximately $22.9 million of severance and benefit costs, $8.7 million of facility closure and other related charges, as well as $0.8 million of other asset write-offs. We previously expected these charges to be incurred by the end of calendar year 2020, upon which we expected to achieve an annualized pretax savings of approximately $290 million per year. Recently, however, the disruption caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 is expected to delay our implementation of our 2020 MAP to Growth past the original target completion date of December 31, 2020. See Note 4, “Restructuring,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for further detail surrounding our 2020 MAP to Growth.Statements.
Interest Expense Interest expense was $24.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 versus $26.5 million for the same period a year ago. Excluding acquisition-related borrowings, higher average borrowings quarter over quarter increased interest expense by approximately $3.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 when compared to the prior year quarter. Higher average borrowings, related to recent acquisitions, increased interest expense during this year’s third quarter by approximately $0.5 million versus the same period a year ago. Lower interest rates, which averaged 3.63% overall for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared with 4.61% for the same period of fiscal 2019, decreased interest expense by approximately $6.2 million during the current quarter versus the same period last year.

Additionally, during the third quarter,nine-month period ended February 28, 2021, we recorded a net favorable$5.3 million discrete tax adjustment totaling $0.3 million. The net favorable discrete tax adjustment is comprised of a $10.9 million charge for an increase to our deferred income tax liability for withholding taxes on additional unremitted foreign earnings not considered permanently reinvested which was offset primarily by tax benefits associated with equity compensation, favorable adjustments related to foreign tax credits, and favorable adjustments related to the global intangible low-tax provisions, resulting from final Treasury Regulations issued during this quarter, and as reported on our 2019 U.S. federal income tax return.reinvested.
The effective income tax benefit rate of 224.7% for the three months ended February 28, 2019 reflects variances from the 21% statutory rate due primarily to the favorable impact of $12.7 million of net discrete tax benefits recorded during the quarter and the amplified impact of those tax benefits on the relatively low level of pre-tax earnings. The $12.7 million net discrete benefits recorded are primarily comprised of the net $8.1 million benefit resulting from completion of our SAB 118 accounting for the impact of the Tax Act, and the release of certain income tax reserves for uncertain tax positions.
Net Income Net income of $12.1 million for the quarter ended February 29, 2020 compares to net income of $14.5 million for the comparable prior year period. Net income attributable to RPM International Inc. stockholders for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was

Nine Months Ended February 29, 2020
Net Sales Consolidated net sales of $4,048.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 grew by approximately 2.1% from net sales of $3,963.2 million for last year’s first nine months. Acquisitions added 1.3%, while organic sales, which include the impact of price and volume, increased consolidated net sales by 2.0%. Consolidated net sales for the period also reflect an unfavorable foreign currency exchange impact of 1.2%.
CPG segment net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 grew by 5.0% to $1,407.7 million, from net sales of $1,340.1 million during the same period a year ago. The improvement resulted from recent acquisitions, which contributed 2.4% to net sales during the current period, and organic growth, which contributed 4.2% during the period. The organic growth was driven mainly by volume gains at our roofing business and market improvement at our business in Brazil, but was partially offset by weakening sales in Europe. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange impacted construction segment net sales by 1.6% during the current period.
PCG segment net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 grew by 0.5% to $845.6 million, from net sales of $841.6 million during the same period a year ago. The improvement resulted from recent acquisitions, which contributed 0.7% to net sales during the current period, and organic growth, which contributed 1.2% during the period, driven mainly by the increases of selling prices over the comparable period last year. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange impacted PCG segment net sales by 1.4% during the current period. Sales growth was dampened by strategic decisions to exit low-margin businesses.
Consumer segment net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 grew by 3.8% to $1,329.0 million, from $1,281.0 million during the same period a year ago. Recent acquisitions provided 0.7% of the growth in net sales, while organic growth provided 4.0%, during the current period, driven primarily by price increases and incremental volume from new customers. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange impacted net sales in the Consumer segment by 0.9% during the current period versus the same period a year ago. Sales improved in the U.S. as there were new customer wins during the period, but these were slightly offset due to soft economy in the U.K. and continental Europe related to Brexit.
Specialty segment net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 decreased by 7.0% to $465.7 million, from $500.5 million during last year’s first nine months. Organic sales declines of 7.4%, during the current period, resulted from decreases in our fluorescent pigments business (due to increased competition) and restoration equipment business (due to fewer significant weather events in the current year as compared to the prior year, as these weather events have a favorable impact on sales). Additionally, foreign currency exchange had an unfavorable impact on Specialty segment net sales for the period of 0.6%. Partially offsetting these decreases were sales from acquisitions, which contributed 1.0% during the period.
Gross Profit Margin Our consolidated gross profit margin of 38.0% of net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compares to a consolidated gross profit margin of 36.7% for the comparable period a year ago, after giving effect to the change in classification of shipping and handling costs. Last year’s reported gross profit margin of 39.8% has been recast to 36.7% in order to reflect the current year change in accounting principle related to shipping and handling costs, which were previously recognized in SG&A expenses and are now recognized in cost of sales. This gross profit increase of approximately 1.3% of net sales reflects an improvement of approximately 130 bps resulting from a combination of increases in selling prices and 2020 MAP to Growth savings, partially offset by the impact of labor cost inflation and unfavorable mix of product sold versus last year. Additionally, higher raw material costs across RPM and supply chain challenges specifically in our Consumer Segment negatively affected our gross profit margin.
SG&A Our consolidated SG&A expense during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was $10.7 million higher versus the same period last year, but decreased to 29.3% of net sales from 29.6% of net sales for the comparable period. Last year’s first nine months reported SG&A percentage of net sales of 32.8% has been recast to 29.6% in order to reflect the current year change in accounting principle related to shipping and handling costs, which were previously recognized in SG&A expenses and are now recognized in cost of sales. During the first nine months of fiscal 2020, we continued our 2020 MAP to Growth and have generated $15.2 million of incremental savings. Additional SG&A expense incurred from companies acquired during the previous 12 months approximated $9.6 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020.
Our CPG segment SG&A was approximately $16.2 million higher for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 versus the comparable prior year period but decreased as a percentage of net sales, mainly due to increased commissions directly associated with higher sales volume, partially offset by 2020 MAP to Growth savings in the current period. Additionally, companies acquired during the past 12 months contributed approximately $6.3 million of additional SG&A expense.

Our PCG segment SG&A was approximately $8.6 million lower for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 versus the comparable prior year period and decreased as a percentage of net sales, mainly due to 2020 MAP to Growth savings in the current period, decreased allowance for doubtful accounts associated with accounts deemed uncollectible as a result of changes in our market and leadership strategy and unfavorable transactional foreign exchange that occurred in the prior comparable period. These decreases were slightly offset by approximately $0.6 million of additional SG&A expense generated from companies acquired during the past 12 months.
Our Consumer segment SG&A increased by approximately $6.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 versus the same period last year but decreased as a percentage of net sales. This was primarily attributable to increases in distribution costs and commissions directly associated with higher sales volume. In addition, during the second quarter of our current fiscal year, we decided to no longer pursue a product line targeted for OEM markets. We performed a recoverability assessment for certain prepaid assets associated with this product line, which resulted in the recognition of a $6.9 million charge during the second quarter of our current fiscal year. These increases were partially offset by 2020 MAP to Growth savings. Lastly, companies acquired during the past 12 months contributed approximately $1.8 million of additional SG&A expense.
Our Specialty segment SG&A was approximately $4.5 million higher during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 versus the comparable prior year period, and increased as a percentage of net sales. The increase in SG&A expense is mainly attributable to additional costs associated with the ERP consolidation plan and the consolidation of certain accounting/finance functions associated with our 2020 MAP to Growth partially offset by cost control measures associated with lower sales volumes.
SG&A expenses in our corporate/other category of $73.9 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 decreased by $7.9 million from $81.8 million recorded during last year’s first nine months, as professional fees in connection with our 2020 MAP to Growth were lower when compared to the prior year period.
We recorded total net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs of $39.4 million and $34.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. The $5.3 million increase in pension expense resulted principally from approximately $4.8 million of higher net actuarial losses recognized during the period versus the same period last year. We expect that pension expense will fluctuate on a year-to-year basis, depending upon the investment performance of plan assets and potential changes in interest rates, both of which are difficult to predict in light of the recent outbreak of COVID-19.
Restructuring Charges We recorded restructuring charges of $18.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020, which compares with $36.5 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2019. These charges were the result of our continued implementation of our 2020 MAP to Growth, which focuses upon strategic shifts in operations across our entire business. On a consolidated basis, we recognized $11.3 million of severance and benefit costs during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared with $29.0 million during the same period a year ago. Facility closure and other related costs totaled $6.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 versus $5.8 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2019. Finally, $0.7 million of other asset write-offs during the period compared with $1.7 million during the same period a year ago. These charges were associated with closures of certain facilities as well as the elimination of duplicative headcount and infrastructure associated with certain of our businesses.
For further information and detail about our 2020 MAP to Growth, see “Restructuring Charges” in Results of Operations – Three Months Ended February 29, 2020, and Note 4, “Restructuring,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Interest Expense Interest expense was $78.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 versus $74.1 million for the same period a year ago. The reversal of the convertible bond interest accrual during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 increased interest expense by approximately $2.1 million versus the same period a year ago. Excluding acquisition-related borrowings, higher average borrowings period over period increased interest expense by approximately $6.1 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 versus the comparable period a year ago. Higher average borrowings, related to recent acquisitions, increased interest expense during this year’s first nine months by approximately $2.5 million versus the same period a year ago. Lower interest rates, which averaged 3.88% overall for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared with 4.24% for the same period of fiscal 2019, decreased interest expense by approximately $6.2 million during the current period versus the same period last year.
Investment (Income) Expense, Net Net investment income of approximately $10.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compares to net investment income of $0.1 million during the same period last year. Dividend and interest income totaled $6.8 million and $6.6 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net gains on marketable securities totaled $3.6 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020, while there were net realized losses of $6.5 million during the same period a year ago.
IBT Our consolidated IBT for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 of $260.9 million compares with IBT of $163.0 million for the same period a year ago. Our CPG segment had IBT of $139.3 million, or 9.9% of net sales, for the nine months ended February 29, 2020, versus IBT of $96.4 million, or 7.2% of net sales, for the same period a year ago. Our CPG segment results reflect 2020 MAP to Growth savings, selling price increases and increased earnings from recent acquisitions. Our PCG segment had IBT of $83.6 million, or 9.9% of net sales, for the nine months ended February 29, 2020, versus IBT of $45.0 million, or 5.3% of net sales, for the same
period a year ago. Our PCG segment results reflect 2020 MAP to Growth savings and selling price increases. Our Consumer segment IBT approximated $123.4 million, or 9.3% of net sales, for the first nine months of fiscal 2020, versus the prior year’s first nine months IBT of $118.1 million, or 9.2% of net sales. Our Consumer segment results reflect new customer wins partially offset by supply chain challenges. Additionally, the prior period results reflect higher unfavorable legal settlements and related legal fees than were incurred during the current year. Our Specialty segment had pretax income of $55.0 million, or 11.8% of net sales for the nine months ended February 29, 2020, versus pretax income of $66.0 million, or 13.2% of net sales, for the same period a year ago, reflecting declines in sales volume in our fluorescent pigment, restoration equipment and specialty coatings businesses.
Income Tax Rate The effective income tax rate of 24.9% for the nine months ended February 29, 2020 compares to the effective income tax rate of 17.8% for the nine months ended February 28, 2019. The effective income tax rate for nine months ended February 29, 2020 reflects variances from the 21% statutory rate due primarily to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, an increase in valuation allowances related to foreign net operating losses and tax benefits associated with equity compensation.
The effective income tax rate of 17.8% for the nine months ended February 28, 2019 reflects variances from the 21% statutory rate due primarily to $16.5 million of net discrete tax benefits, which includes the $12.7 million net tax benefit described above with the remaining balance being recorded in the prior quarters of fiscal 2019. These discrete tax benefits were partially offset primarily by the unfavorable impact of state and local taxes and incremental valuation allowances associated with certain foreign net operating losses.
Net Income Net income of $195.9 million for the nine months ended February 29, 2020 compares to net income of $133.9 million for the comparable prior year period. Net income attributable to RPM International Inc. stockholders for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was $195.1 million, or 4.8% of consolidated net sales, which compared to net income of $133.2 million, or 3.4% of consolidated net sales for the comparable prior year period.
Diluted earnings per share of common stock for the nine months ended February 29, 2020 of $1.50 compares with diluted earnings per share of common stock of $1.00 for the nine months ended February 28, 2019.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating Activities
Fiscal 20202021 Compared with Fiscal 20192020
Approximately $381.2$651.9 million of cash was provided by operating activities during the first nine months of fiscal 2020,2021, compared with $145.5$381.2 million of cash provided by operating activities during the same period last year. The net change in cash from operations includes the change in net income, which increased by $62.1$151.2 million during the first nine months of fiscal 20202021 versus the same period during fiscal 2019. During the first nine months of fiscal 2020, we recorded $18.8 million in restructuring charges and made cash payments of $18.9 million related to our 2020 MAP to Growth, as further described in Note 4, “Restructuring.” Changes in working capital accounts accounted for an improvement of approximately $233.2 million period over period, while all other accruals and adjustments to reconcile net income used approximately $59.6 million more cash flow during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 versus the same period last year.2020.
The change in accounts receivable during the first nine months of fiscal 20202021 provided approximately $129.4$101.0 million moreless cash than during the same period a year ago. This resulted from improved margin initiatives that shifted approximately $100.0 millionthe timing of sales, which dipped sharply in receipts from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 tolast year, but rebounded sharply in the first quarternine months of fiscal 2020.this year. Days sales outstanding (“DSO”) at February 29, 202028, 2021 decreased to 68.765.6 days from 71.068.7 days at February 28, 2019. While many29, 2020. All of our businessesreportable segments achieved decreases in DSO during the current period versus last year, those improvements were more than offset by increased DSO at our Consumer segment resulting from a reduction of the volume of cash collections subject to early payment discounts.year.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2020,2021, we spent approximately $7.1$15.9 million less cash for inventory compared to our spending during the same period a year ago, which resulted primarily from the timing of purchases by retail customers. Days of inventory outstanding (“DIO”) was approximately 111.3103.1 and 112.8111.3 days at February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, and February 28, 2019, respectively. The improvementdecrease in DIO was driven mainly by the SPG, Consumer segment, which has taken various actionsand CPG segments, as they benefitted from a significant increase in conjunction with out 2020demand as well as our MAP to Growth efforts to streamlineimprove our manufacturing process and improve fill rates. operational planning processes.
The change in accounts payable during the first nine months of fiscal 20202021 used approximately $96.7$102.1 million less cash than during the first nine months of fiscal 2019. Days2020 due principally to the timing of purchases, but also longer days payables outstanding (“DPO”) improvedwhich increased by approximately 910.0 days from 79.9 days at February 28, 2019 to 89.1 days at February 29, 2020 resulting principally from the timingto 99.1 days at February 28, 2021. The longer DPO is a direct result of certain payments as we continue to movemoving toward a center-led procurement process that includes negotiating modified payment terms. Cash provided from operations, along with the use of available credit lines, as required, remain our primary sources of liquidity.
The change in other accrued liabilities during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 used approximately $61.3 million less cash than during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 due principally to the timing of income taxes payable and the increase in customer rebate accruals. Additionally, certain government entities located where we have operations have enacted various pieces of legislation designed to help businesses weather the economic impact of Covid and ultimately preserve jobs. Some of this legislation, such as the
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act in the U.S., enables employers to defer the payment of various types of taxes over varying time horizons. As of May 31, 2020, we had deferred $17.7 million of such government payments that would have normally been paid during our fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, but which will be paid in future periods. During the nine months ended February 28, 2021, we deferred an additional $12.1 million of such government payments that would have normally been paid during our fiscal 2021, but which will be paid in future periods. The $12.1 million of deferrals generated during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 is presented net of payments that occurred during fiscal 2021 but which normally would have been paid in prior periods.
As we cannot predict the duration or scope of the COVID-19Covid pandemic and its impact on our customers and suppliers, the negative financial impact to our results cannot be reasonably estimated, butrelated to any further disruptions associated with Covid could be material. We are actively managing the business to maintain cash flow and we have significant liquidity. We believe that these factors will allow us to meet our anticipated funding requirements.
Investing Activities
For the first nine months of fiscal 2021, cash used for investing activities increased by $53.8 million to $217.9 million as compared to $164.1 million in the prior year period. This year-over-year increase in cash used for investing activities was mainly driven by $49.3 million in more cash spent on acquisitions as we made a larger acquisition during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 as compared to acquisition activity during the first nine months of fiscal 2020.
Capital expenditures, other than for ordinary repairs and replacements, are made to accommodate our continued growth to achieve production and distribution efficiencies, expand capacity, introduce new technology, improve environmental health and safety capabilities, improve information systems, and enhance our administration capabilities. CapitalWe paid for capital expenditures of $103.2 million and $105.4 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, with depreciation for the same period of $76.6 million. In the comparable prior year period, capital expenditures were $84.5 million, which compared with depreciation of $71.9 million.respectively. We have been increasing ourcontinued to maintain an elevated level of capital spending in fiscal 2020,2021, in an effort to consolidate ERP systems and our plant footprint, as part of our 2020 MAP to Growth. During the first nine months of fiscal 2020, we paid $65.1 million for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, versus $167.7 million during the comparable prior year period.
Our captive insurance companies invest their excess cash in marketable securities in the ordinary course of conducting their operations, and this activity will continue. Differences in the amounts related to these activities on a year-over-year basis are primarily attributable to differences in the timing and performance of their investments balanced against amounts required to satisfy claims. At February 29, 202028, 2021 and May 31, 2019,2020, the fair value of our investments in available-for-sale debt securities and marketable equity securities, which includes captive insurance-related assets, totaled $114.7$152.8 million and $112.5$114.0 million, respectively. The fair value of our portfolio of marketable securities is based on quoted market prices for identical, or similar, instruments in active or non-active markets or model-derived-valuations with observable inputs. We have no marketable securities whose fair value is subject to unobservable inputs.
As of February 29, 2020,28, 2021, approximately $182.1$219.5 million of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents were held at various foreign subsidiaries, compared with $205.8$199.6 million at May 31, 2019.2020. Undistributed earnings held at our foreign subsidiaries that are considered permanently reinvested will be used, for instance, to expand operations organically or for acquisitions in foreign jurisdictions. Further, our operations in the U.S. generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy U.S. operating requirements. Refer to Note 9,8, “Income Taxes,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding unremitted foreign earnings.
Financing Activities
For the first nine months of fiscal 2021, cash used for financing activities increased by $217.7 million to $439.7 million as compared to $222.0 million in the prior year period. The overall increase in cash used for financing activities was driven principally by debt-related activities. We received $698.3 million less cash related to new debt compared to the prior year. This is offset by $414.5 million less cash used to paydown existing debt in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 as compared to the prior year. See below for further details on the significant components of our debt.
The increase in cash used for financing activities generated by debt-related activities was partially offset by a $75.4 million decrease in cash used for the repurchase of common stock during the first nine months of fiscal 2021, as compared to the prior year. This decrease was a result of the macroeconomic uncertainty caused by the Covid pandemic, which led to the temporary suspension of our stock repurchase program during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, which lasted through the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
Our available liquidity, including our cash and cash equivalents and amounts available under our committed credit facilities, stood at $1.14$1.43 billion at February 29, 2020,28, 2021, compared with $1.28 billion at May 31, 2019.2020. Significant components of our debt include (refer to “Note G – Borrowings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2020 for more comprehensive details):
Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement
On February 21, 2020, we and our subsidiary, RPM New Horizons Netherlands, B.V. (the “Foreign Borrower”), entered into an unsecured syndicated term loan facility credit agreement (the “New Credit Facility”) with the lenders party thereto and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent for the lenders. The New Credit Facility provides for a $300 million term loan to the Companyus and a $100 million term loan to the Foreign Borrower (together, the “Term Loans”), each of which was fully advanced on the closing date. The Term Loans mature on February 21, 2023, with no scheduled amortization before that date, and the Term Loans may be prepaid at any time without penalty or premium. We agreed to guarantee all obligations of the Foreign Borrower under the New Credit Facility. The proceeds of the Term Loans were used to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. After giving effect to such repayment, we had approximately $820 million of borrowing availability on our Revolving Credit Facility. See “Revolving Credit Agreement” below for further details.
The Term Loans will bear interest at either the base rate or the Eurodollar Rate, at our option, plus a spread determined by our debt rating. We, and the Foreign Borrower, have entered into multicurrency floating to fixed interest rate swap agreements that effectively fix interest payment obligations on the entire principal amount of the Term Loans through their maturity at (a) 0.612% per annum on our Term Loan, and (b) 0.558% per annum on the Foreign Borrower’s Term Loan.
The New Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including but not limited to, limitations on our ability, and in certain instances, our subsidiaries’ ability, to incur liens, make certain investments, or sell or transfer assets. Additionally, we may not permit (i) our consolidated interest coverage ratio to be less than 3.5 to 1.0, or (ii) our leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of total indebtedness, (lessless unencumbered cash and cash equivalents in excess of $50 million)million, to consolidated EBITDA for the four most recent fiscal quarters) to exceed 3.75 to 1.0. Upon notification to the lenders, however, the maximum permitted leverage ratio can be relaxed to 4.25 to 1.0 for a one-year period in connection with certain material acquisitions. The covenants contained in the New Credit Facility are substantially similar to those contained in our Revolving Credit Facility. See “Revolving Credit Agreement” below for details on our compliance with all significant financial covenants at February 29, 2020.28, 2021.
Accounts Receivable Securitization Program
As of February 29, 2020, the28, 2021, there were no amounts outstanding balance under our AR Program was $70.0 million, which compares with theand a maximum availability of $150.0 million on that date of $150.0 million.date. The maximum availability under the AR Program is $200.0$250.0 million, but availability is further subject to changes in the credit ratings of our customers, customer concentration levels or certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred and, therefore, at certain times, we may not be able to fully access the $200.0$250.0 million of funding available under the AR Program.
The AR Program contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as customary default and termination provisions. Our failure to comply with the covenants described above and other covenants contained in the Revolving Credit Facility could result in an event of default under that agreement, entitling the lenders to, among other things, declare the entire amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility to be due and payable immediately. The instruments governing our other outstanding indebtedness generally include cross-default provisions that provide that, under certain circumstances, an event of default that results in acceleration of our indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility will entitle the holders of such other indebtedness to declare amounts outstanding immediately due and payable.
Revolving Credit Agreement
As noted inDuring the “Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement” section above, the proceeds of the Term Loans entered into during February 2020 were used to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings underquarter ended November 30, 2018, we replaced our previous $800.0 million revolving credit facility. After giving effect to such repayment, we had approximately $820 million of borrowing availability on our Revolving Credit Facility. As of February 29, 2020, we had $847.3 million of borrowing availability on our Revolving Credit Facility.
At May 31, 2019, the outstanding balance on our 6.125% senior notes approximated $450.5 million,agreement, which was included in the current portion of long-term debtset to expire on our consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, duringDecember 5, 2019, with a $1.3 billion unsecured syndicated revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which expires on October 2019, we utilized available funds from our31, 2023. The Revolving Credit Facility includes sublimits for the issuance of swingline loans, which are comparatively short-term loans used for working capital purposes and letters of credit. The aggregate maximum principal amount of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility may be expanded upon our request, subject to repay our $450 million unsecured 6.125% senior notes, which matured on October 15, 2019. certain conditions, up to $1.5 billion. The Revolving Credit Facility is available to refinance existing indebtedness, to finance working capital and capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes.
The Revolving Credit Facility requires us to comply with various customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a leverage covenant (i.e., Net Leverage Ratio) and interest coverage ratio, which are calculated in accordance with the terms as defined by the credit agreement. Revolving Credit Facility. On April 30, 2020, we amended both our Revolving Credit Facility and the New Credit Facility (see “Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement” section above for further details) to allow the maximum permitted Net Leverage Ratio to be increased from 3.75 to 1.00 to 4.25 to 1 for four consecutive fiscal quarters following notice to the Administrative Agent on or before June 30, 2021 and the payment of a ten basis point fee (“Increased Net Leverage Ratio Period”). Such increase is in addition to any increase requested by us in the maximum permitted Net Leverage Ratio following a Material Acquisition (any acquisition for which the aggregate consideration is $100.0 million or greater). During an Increased Net Leverage Ratio Period, the Euro-Rate Spread on loans under the Revolving Credit Facility shall be increased to 1.75% and the Base Rate Spread shall be 0.75% until the first day of the month following the Increased Net Leverage Ratio Period; provided, however, if at any time during an Increased Net Leverage
Ratio, all three rating agencies rate us as non-investment grade, the Euro-Rate Spread shall be 2.00% and the Base Rate Spread shall be 1.0% in each case until earlier of the first day of the month after the Increased Net Leverage Ratio or the date on which at least one rating agency rates us as investment grade. As of February 28, 2021, we have not provided any notice to the Administrative Agent to trigger this provision.
Under the terms of the leverage covenant, we may not permit our leverage ratio for total indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the four most recent fiscal quarters to exceed 3.75 to 1.0. During certain periods and per the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, this ratio may be increased to 4.25 to 1.0 in connection with certain “material acquisitions”, or under the eventIncreased Net Leverage Ratio Period. The acquisition of Ali Industries, LLC occurred on September 1, 2020 and qualifies as a “material acquisition,” which enables us to request an acquisition for whichincrease in the aggregate consideration is $100.0 million or greater.maximum permitted Net Leverage Ratio covenant. We provided such notice to our Administrative Agent to trigger this provision of the agreement during our second quarter of fiscal 2021, and therefore, our Net Leverage Ratio covenant has been increased to 4.25 to 1.0. The minimum required consolidated interest coverage ratio for EBITDA to interest expense is 3.50 to 1. The interest coverage ratio is calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter for the four fiscal quarters then ended. For purposes of these computations,ended using EBITDA isas defined in the Revolving Credit Facility.
As of February 29, 2020,28, 2021, we were in compliance with all financial covenants contained in our Revolving Credit Facility, Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, and Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement, including the leverageNet Leverage Ratio and interest coverage ratio covenants. At that date, our leverage ratioNet Leverage Ratio was 2.902.13 to 1, while our interest coverage ratio was 7.9511.94 to 1. As of February 28, 2021, we had $1.03 billion of borrowing availability on our Revolving Credit Facility.
Our access to funds under our Revolving Credit Facility is dependent on the ability of the financial institutions that are parties to the Revolving Credit Facility to meet their funding commitments. Those financial institutions may not be able to meet their funding commitments if they experience shortages of capital and liquidity or if they experience excessive volumes of borrowing requests within a short period of time. Moreover, the obligations of the financial institutions under our Revolving Credit Facility are several and not joint and, as a result, a funding default by one or more institutions does not need to be made up by the others.
Stock Repurchase Program
On January 9, 2008, we announcedSee Note 10, “Stock Repurchase Program” and Note 17, “Subsequent Events” to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for further detail surrounding our authorization of a stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase shares of RPM International Inc. common stock at management’s discretion. As announced on November 28, 2018, our goal is to return $1.0 billion in capital to stockholders by May 31, 2021 through share repurchases. On April 16, 2019, after taking into account share repurchases under our existing stock repurchase program to date, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of the remaining $600.0 million in value of RPM International Inc. common stock by May 31, 2021. As a result, we may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market or in private transactions at various times and in amounts and for prices that our management deems appropriate, subject to insider trading rules and other securities law restrictions. The timing of our purchases will depend upon prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors. We may limit or terminate the repurchase program at any time. During the three months ended February 29, 2020, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under this program. During the three months ended February 28, 2019, we repurchased 1,570,647 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $91.2 million, or an average cost of $58.08 per share, under this program. During the nine months ended February 29, 2020, we repurchased 1,655,616 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $100.0 million, or an average cost of $60.40 per share, under this program. During the nine months ended February 28, 2019, we repurchased 2,819,045 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $173.2 million, or an average cost of $61.45 per share, under this program.
See Note 19, “Subsequent Events” for an update on additional repurchases and a decision to suspend our share buyback program.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet financings for the year ended May 31, 2019, other than the minimum operating lease commitments as previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2019. As of June 1, 2019, upon adoption of ASC 842, the minimum operating lease commitments are no longer off-balance sheet.financings.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
SEC Investigation and Enforcement Action
As previously disclosed, we were notified by the SEC on June 24, 2014, that we are the subject of a formal investigation pertainingRefer to Note 13, “Contingencies and Accrued Losses,” to the timing of our disclosure and accrual of loss reserves in fiscal 2013 with respect to the previously disclosed DOJ and GSA Office of Inspector General investigation into compliance issues relating to Tremco Roofing Division’s GSA contracts. As previously disclosed, our audit committee completed an investigation into the facts and circumstances surrounding the timing of our disclosure and accrual of loss reserves with respect to the GSA and DOJ investigations, and determined that it was appropriate to restate our financial resultsConsolidated Financial Statements, for the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2013. These restatements had no impact on our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2013 or 2014. The audit committee’s investigation concluded that there was no intentional misconduct on the part of any of our officers.
In connection with the foregoing, on September 9, 2016, the SEC filed an enforcement action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against usfurther discussion and our General Counsel. We have cooperated with the SEC’s investigation and believe the allegations in the complaint mischaracterize both our and our General Counsel’s actions in connection with the matters related to our quarterly results in fiscal 2013 and are without merit. The complaint seeks disgorgement of gains that may have resulted from the conduct alleged in the complaint, and payment of unspecified monetary penalties from us and our General Counsel pursuant to Section 20(d)evaluation of the Securities Act and Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. Further, the complaint seeks to permanently enjoin us from violations of Sections 17(a)(2) and (a)(3) of the Securities Act, Sections 13(a), 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act, and Exchange Act Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, 13a-11 and 13a-13, and to permanently enjoin our General Counsel from violations of Sections 17(a)(2) and (a)(3) of the Securities Act and Exchange Act Rules 13b2-1 and 13b2-2(a). Both we and our General Counsel filed motions to dismiss the complaint on February 24, 2017. Those motions to dismiss the complaint were denied by the Court on September 29, 2017. We and our General Counsel filed answers to the complaint on October 16, 2017. Formal discovery commenced in January 2018 and closed as of June 3, 2019, other than one remaining discovery dispute. The parties engaged in written discovery, and several fact witnesses were deposed. The dispositive motion briefing schedule was vacated by the Court on July 2, 2019, due to the remaining discovery dispute, and will be reset once this dispute is fully resolved.

As previously reported, severalLike other companies participating in similar lines of business, some of our subsidiaries are from time to time, identified as a “potentially responsible party” under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and similar local environmental statutes. In some cases, our subsidiariesstatutes or are participating in the cost of certain clean-up efforts or other remedial actions.actions relating to environmental matters. Our share of such costs to date, however, has not been material and management believes that these environmental proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. See “Item 1 — Business — Environmental Matters,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2019.2020.
On August 13, 2019, Kirker Enterprises Inc. received an Administrative Order26, 2020, the SEC issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10825, "Modernization of Regulation S-K Items 101, 103, and Civil Administrative Penalty Assessment letter from105." This rule, which became effective on November 9, 2020, updated the Statedisclosure threshold for environmental proceedings. Prior to this rule, environmental proceedings to which the government is a party were required to be disclosed if the proceeding was expected to result in sanctions of New Jersey Department$100,000 or more. The above referenced rule increases the quantitative threshold to $300,000, but also permits the registrant to elect a higher threshold, limited to the lesser of Environmental Protection Division$1 million or 1% of Air Enforcement formally notifying itconsolidated current assets, if the registrant determines that such threshold is more reasonably designed to result in the disclosure of alleged failures to fulfill all conditions of an air permit applicable to its Patterson, New Jersey facility.material environmental proceedings. The letter includes a proposed penalty of approximately $192,000.registrant must disclose this alternative threshold in each annual and quarterly report.

ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our operations and could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our business could be materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of a widespread health epidemic. The present coronavirus (or COVID-19) pandemic has disrupted our operations and will affect our business, including as government authorities impose mandatory closures, work-from-home orders and social distancing protocols, and seek voluntary facility closures or impose other restrictions that could materially adversely affect our ability to adequately staff and maintain our operations. Specifically, we have experienced, and expect to experience in the future, temporary facility closures in response to government mandates in certain jurisdictions in which we operate and in response to positive diagnoses for COVID-19 in certain facilities for the safety of our associates. The COVID-19 outbreak could also disrupt our supply chain and materially adversely impact our ability to secure supplies for our facilities and to provide personal protective equipment for our employees, which could materially adversely affect our operations. There may also be long-term effects on our customers in and the economies of affected countries. Even if a virus or other illness does not spread significantly, the perceived risk of infection or health risk may materially adversely affect our business. Any of the foregoing within the countries in which we or our customers and suppliers operate would severely disrupt our operations and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. As we cannot predict the duration or scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, the negative financial impact to our results cannot be reasonably estimated, but could be material.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the other risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019.2020.
