2013 PPG Overview
19
Why selling PPG?
•
Very high return last year: 63.80% (S&P 500 return last year: 34.93%). Sell PPG to
secure these gains
•
Transitions optical business separation, which was very profitable, and had excellent
margins (29.2% versus 9.4% for the whole company)
•
Exposure to the risk of raw materials inflation. Titanium dioxide purchases are 70% to
80% of the cost of goods sold of the coatings business (84% of the total revenues of
PPG in 2013).
•
Architectural coatings segment is weaker than other coatings segment, despite the
construction market recovery. Due to fewer competitive advantages.
•
PPG’s performances are tightly linked to global economy.
20
However, PPG has some strengths
•
Current PPG’s portfolio shift. Focus on coating activity (2004: 56%, 2014: 90%). Strong
acquiring activity, and a lot of divestitures. Coatings manufacturing industry benefits
from many positive points. Low capital intensive industry, stable earnings/cash,
consolidating industry. High growth potential. Results improved in the long run.
•
25% of the firm's sales are from emerging regions. It will drive growth, because the
western regions expand at a slower rate.
•
High return of cash to shareholders ($1.35 billion in 2013), through buy-back and
dividends.

Recommendation
 China’s economic and political changes will negatively impact multiple
segment revenues.
 Significant impact on iron ore prices.
 Development of GHOST Cities cannot be sustained. China’s
consumption will be cut.
 Aluminium demand and price increase will be overshadowed by Chinese
policy changes.
 Poor HPR and Risk-Adjusted Returns shows investment would be more
beneficial in Sector ETF.
