Revenue increased by 13 percent compared with the previous year. The strongest growth came from Industrial Coatings (due to acquisitions) and Marine and Protective Coatings (from strong demand in Protective Coatings). Volumes were flat with continued variability between individual markets. Overall margins improved due to a combination of margin management activities and ongoing cost control. The major restructuring activities in the quarter focused on Marine and Protective Coatings, Automotive and Aerospace Coatings Europe and the ongoing integration of the Schramm acquisition.
