The consolidated net earnings amounted to 518,051.350 as compared with 520,003."OS for 1966. This is a decline of 13.6^. After pre ferred dividends, this is equivalent to 53.35 per common share as compared with 53.96 last year. Consolidated net sales amounted to 5401.714.3~6. an increase over the prior year of 4^. As pointed out in previous releases, sales were hampered by a general slowdown in economic activity, continued sluggishness in the housing industry, inventory adjustments and extremely poor painting weather which began in early spring and continued through the summer. * 1V/ V F-. Colin Baldwin President S-W 000428 The loss of sales in our Pigments'. Colors & Chemicals Division deprived us of direct profits and in addition had an adverse effect on the factories which produce these products for both internal use and for sales to customers. We expect a healthy improvement in this sector of our business in fiscal P68. Operations in the painc end of our. business held up remarkably well in the face of the negative factors referred to previously. In fact both sales and earnings, slightly exceeded the prior year. Rising costs were also a significant factor in our earnings picture. These were quite wide spread but centered principally around higher freight rates, raw material advances, rising wage and salary rates, start-up costs and in creased depreciation and interest expense. Our major problem has been the difficulty of absorbing these higher costs in an economic atmosphere u'here sales gains were modest at best. Where necessary and expedient, steps have been taken to improve gross margins so as to lessen our dependence on unit sales increases alone. Our large program for expanding and im proving our facilities is well under way, but slightly behind schedule because of delayed deliveries and the relative scarcity of skilled labor. As a result, our capital expenditures totalled $25,779,632 in contrast to an expected figure of approximately $30,000,000. Deprecia tion in 1967 amounted to $5,919,899. e This highly desirable--in fact essential-- program is expected to continue through fiscal 1969 with expenditures in the range of S25,000,000 to $30,000,000 in both 1968 and 1969. Thereafter, capital expenditures are expected to drop to a more normal figure. This program will make virtually all of our plants as modern and efficient as though they were newly constructed. Moreover, it is essential to meet the larger demands which the future unquestionably holds and to main tain our position of leadership in quality of products and our capacity to bring new prod ucts to the market place. Ever increasing amounts have been and are being provided for research, development and quality control. Costs of this insurance for the future were in excess of SI 1,000,090 in fiscal 1967. With such a large percentage of our profits coming in the last six months of our fiscal year, it is difficult to predict the probable re sults in fiscal 1968 at this time. However, the outlook at present gives us strong reason to feel that many of the negative factors of the past year will either disappear or be alleviated greatly. As a consequence, we are assuming a more favorable economic climate in which sales can rise significantly and result in a much more acceptable level of profit margins. It is with a feeling of deep regret that we report the passing of two of our esteemed di rectors during the year. Mr. George Gund, Chairman of the Board of The Cleveland Trust Company and a long-time member of our Board, passed away in the late fall of 1966. Mr. Wade N. Harris, Chairman of the Board of Midland-Ross Corporation, passed away in August of this year. We are grateful for the exceptional guidance and assistance these Directors gave to those of us responsible for the day-to-day management of the business. S-W 000*29 Page 3 Mr. Robert H. Hill. V ice President and Director of Sales, was elected to till the un expired term of Mr. Gund. Mr. William C. Fine. Assistant Vice President--Finance, was elected at the Board of Directors' meeting on October 19, 1967 to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Harris. After a long career of outstanding service to our Company, Mr. Arthur W. Steudel retired as Chairman of our Board and as an active employee on December 31, 1966. Fortunately his wise counsel is still available to the Com pany as Mr. Steudel has been retained on a consulting basis and continues as an active member of our Board of which he is now Honorary Chairman. Space does not permit a recitation of Mr. Steudel's enormous contri bution to the growth and profitability of our Company. Suffice it to say that all who have served under his inspiring leadership consider it a most valuable and unforgettable experience. The problems of the past year have served to highlight the dedicated effort and loyalty of our entire organization. The Board of Directors and the management wish to express their grateful appreciation for this splendid support. ^-- Cleveland, Ohio October 19, 1967 President Page 4 s-w 000430 STATEMENTS OF CONSOLIDATED INCOME AND EARNED SURPLUS THE SHERWIN-WILLIAMS COMPANY And Consolidated Subsidiaries Year Ended August 31 Income 1967 Net sales . .................................................................

It will continue to be in the future as the Company continues its historic pattern of expansion and diversification. This approach to improved and increased service is reflected in the continuing expansion of existing facilities and the construction of new plants in a program geared to market potential. It finds further fulfillment in the Company's diversification into areas such as chemi cals that are, at best, only remotely related to paint. The trademarks on the facing page symbolize the broad scope of service the Company provides. Clockwise from the top of the page, the trademarks are those of: The Martin-Senour Co., with head quarters at Chicago; John Lucas & Co., Inc., Philadelphia; The Lowe Brothers Co., Dayton, Ohio; Rogers Paint Products, Inc., Detroit; W. W. Lawrence & Co., Pittsburgh; Acme Quality Paints, Inc.. Detroit; Maumee Chemical Co., Toledo, Ohio; Sprayon Products, Inc., Bedford Heights, Ohio; and Rubberset Co., Crisfield, Maryland. All of these companies and divisions operate with a great measure of autonomy. They have their own brand names and, in most cases, their own distribution organizations, with the result that the customers benefit from the diversified services provided.
