PPG Industries has reported net sales for the second quarter 2012 of $4 billion.
According to a release, net income for the quarter was $362 million.
Glass segment sales were $273 million for the quarter, down $1 million from the prior year. According to the company, lower pricing and the negative impact of foreign currency translation offset higher flat glass volumes.
“In the second quarter, PPG delivered the highest quarterly earnings per share in company history as a result of continued execution, strong cost discipline and effective cash deployment,” said Charles Bunch, PPG Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
