Sherwin-Williams boosts profit in Q1
Cleveland – Increased gross profit resulting from a slowing pace in the cost of goods sold helped boost net income at The Sherwin-Williams Co. during the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Net income totaled $131.4 million, up 14% from $115.46 million the same quarter a year earlier.
Net sales grew 3% to $2.45 billion from $2.37 billion, due primarily to higher paint sales volume in the retailer’s Paint Stores and Consumer groups.
