Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Consolidation, Noncontrolling Interests and Basis of Presentation | NOTE 1 — CONSOLIDATION, NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2023, and August 31, 2022. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2023. Our financial statements include all of our majority-owned subsidiaries. We account for our investments in less-than-majority-owned joint ventures, for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, under the equity method. Effects of transactions between related companies are eliminated in consolidation. Noncontrolling interests are presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements as if parent company investors (controlling interests) and other minority investors (noncontrolling interests) in partially-owned subsidiaries have similar economic interests in a single entity. As a result, investments in noncontrolling interests are reported as equity in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, our Consolidated Financial Statements include 100 % of a controlled subsidiary’s earnings, rather than only our share. Transactions between the parent company and noncontrolling interests are reported in equity as transactions between stockholders, provided that these transactions do not create a change in control. Our business is dependent on external weather factors. Historically, we have experienced strong sales and net income in our first, second and fourth fiscal quarters comprising the three-month periods ending August 31, November 30 and May 31, respectively, with weaker performance in our third fiscal quarter (December through February). |

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] | |
Restructuring | NOTE 3 — RESTRUCTURING We record restructuring charges associated with management-approved restructuring plans to either reorganize one or more of our business segments, or to remove duplicative headcount and infrastructure associated with our businesses. Restructuring charges can include severance costs to eliminate a specified number of associates, infrastructure charges to vacate facilities and consolidate operations, contract cancellation costs and other costs. We record the short-term portion of our restructuring liability in other accrued liabilities and the long-term portion, if any, in other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During 2018, we approved and implemented the initial phases of a multi-year restructuring plan, which is referred to as the 2020 Margin Acceleration Plan (“MAP to Growth”). We incurred $ 1.4 million of restructuring costs associated with this plan for the three months ended August 31, 2022. We did no t incur any restructuring costs for the three months ended August 31, 2023, and we do not expect to incur any further costs associated with this plan. In August 2022, we approved and announced our Margin Achievement Plan 2025 (“MAP 2025”), which is a multi-year restructuring plan to build on the achievements of MAP to Growth and designed to improve margins by streamlining business processes, reducing working capital, implementing commercial initiatives to drive improved mix and salesforce effectiveness and improving operating efficiency. Most activities under MAP 2025 are anticipated to be completed by the end of fiscal 2025. The current total expected costs associated with this plan are outlined below and increased approximately $ 12.1 million compared to our previous estimate, attributable to increases in expected severance and benefit charges of $ 7.4 million, expected facility closure and other related costs of $ 0.1 million and expected other restructuring costs of $ 4.6 million. Throughout our MAP 2025 initiative, we will continue to assess and find areas of improvement and cost savings. As such, the final implementation of the aforementioned phases and total expected costs are subject to change. USL Restructuring As previously disclosed during fiscal 2023, due to the challenged macroeconomic environment, we evaluated certain business restructuring actions, specifically our go to market strategy for operating in Europe. During the quarter ended February 28, 2023, due to declining profitability and regulatory headwinds, management decided to restructure the Universal Sealants (“USL”) reporting unit within our PCG segment and explore strategic alternatives for our USL infrastructure services business within the United Kingdom. During the quarter ended August 31, 2023, we recognized a loss on sale of $ 4.5 million in connection with the divestiture of USL’s Bridgecare services division. The Bridgecare division is a contracting business focused on the installation of joints and waterproofing in the UK. The loss on this sale is included in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income and net loss on sales of assets and businesses in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Additionally, during the quarter ended August 31, 2023, in connection with MAP 2025, we realigned certain businesses and management structures within our segments. Within our PCG segment, certain businesses of our USL reporting unit were transferred to our Fibergrate, Carboline and Stonhard reporting units. As a result of this change in our market strategy, we performed an interim impairment assessment of the USL indefinite-lived tradename. Calculating the fair value of the USL’s indefinite-lived tradename required the use of various estimates and assumptions. We estimated the fair value of USL’s indefinite-lived tradename by applying a relief-from-royalty calculation, which included discounted future cash flows related to projected revenues impacted by this decision. In applying this methodology, we relied on a number of factors, including actual and forecasted revenues and market data. As the carrying amount of the tradename exceeded its fair value, an impairment loss of $ 3.3 million was recorded for the three months ended August 31, 2023. This impairment loss was classified as restructuring expense within our PCG segment. Following is a summary of the charges recorded in connection with MAP 2025 by reportable segment as well as the total expected costs related to projects identified to date: Three Months Cumulative Total (In thousands) August 31, 2023 to Date Costs Construction Products Group ("CPG") Segment: Severance and benefit costs $ 415 $ 6,507 $ 16,564 Facility closure and other related costs - - 271 Total Charges $ 415 $ 6,507 $ 16,835 Performance Coatings Group ("PCG") Segment: Severance and benefit costs $ 831 $ 1,979 $ 2,296 Facility closure and other related costs 30 30 1,030 Other restructuring costs (a) 4,555 7,092 7,092 Total Charges $ 5,416 $ 9,101 $ 10,418 Consumer Segment: Severance and benefit costs $ - $ 507 $ 507 Facility closure and other related costs 14 635 635 Total Charges $ 14 $ 1,142 $ 1,142 Specialty Products Group ("SPG") Segment: Severance and benefit costs $ 653 $ 1,458 $ 1,956 Facility closure and other related costs - - 4,486 Total Charges $ 653 $ 1,458 $ 6,442 Corporate/Other Segment: Severance and benefit (credits) $ - $ ( 50 ) $ ( 50 ) Total Charges $ - $ ( 50 ) $ ( 50 ) Consolidated: Severance and benefit costs $ 1,899 $ 10,401 $ 21,273 Facility closure and other related costs 44 665 6,422 Other restructuring costs 4,555 7,092 7,092 Total Charges $ 6,498 $ 18,158 $ 34,787 (a) Of the $ 4.6 million of other restructuring costs, $ 3.3 million is associated with the impairment of an indefinite-lived tradename described above.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | NOTE 4 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Financial instruments recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, marketable securities, notes and accounts payable, and debt. An allowance for credit losses is established for trade accounts receivable using assessments of current creditworthiness of customers, historical collection experience, the aging of receivables and other currently available evidence. Trade accounts receivable balances are written-off against the allowance if a final determination of uncollectibility is made. All provisions for allowance for doubtful collection of accounts are included in SG&A expense. The valuation techniques utilized for establishing the fair values of assets and liabilities are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value, as follows: Level 1 Inputs — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 Inputs — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Level 3 Inputs — Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers. The following tables present our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy.

The availability of inputs observable in the market varies from instrument to instrument and depends on a variety of factors, including the type of instrument, whether the instrument is actively traded and other characteristics particular to the transaction. For most of our financial instruments, pricing inputs are readily observable in the market, the valuation methodology used is widely accepted by market participants, and the valuation does not require significant management discretion. For other financial instruments, pricing inputs are less observable in the market and may require management judgment. The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of the additional variable cash consideration payable in connection with recent acquisitions that is contingent upon the achievement of certain performance milestones. We estimated the fair value using expected future cash flows over the period in which the obligation is expected to be settled which is considered to be a Level 3 input. During the first three months of fiscal 2023, we recorded an increase in the accrual for approximately $ 3.0 million related to acquisitions and paid approximately $ 10.3 million to satisfy contingent consideration obligations relating to certain performance milestones that were established in prior periods and achieved during fiscal 2023. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, payments of acquisition-related contingent consideration for the amount recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date are reported in cash flows from financing activities, while payments of contingent consideration in excess of fair value as of the acquisition date, are reported in cash flows from operating activities within other accrued liabilities. The carrying value of our current financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. At August 31, 2023 and May 31, 2023, the fair value of our long-term debt was estimated using active market quotes, based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, which are Level 2 inputs. Based on the analysis performed, the fair value and the carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents and long-term debt as of August 31, 2023 and May 31, 2023 are as follows: At August 31, 2023 (In thousands) Carrying Value Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents $ 240,586 $ 240,586 Long-term debt, including current portion 2,505,311 2,296,118 At May 31, 2023 (In thousands) Carrying Value Fair Value Cash and cash equivalents $ 215,787 $ 215,787 Long-term debt, including current portion 2,683,809 2,490,863 |

Income Taxes | NOTE 7 — INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rate of 25.2 % for the three months ended August 31, 2023 compares to the effective income tax rate of 24.8 % for the three months ended August 31, 2022. The effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2023 and 2022 reflect variances from the 21 % statutory rate due primarily to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, non-deductible business expenses, and the net tax on foreign subsidiary income resulting from the global intangible low-taxed income provisions, partially offset by tax benefits related to equity compensation. Additionally, the tax rate for the current period reflects incremental tax expense related to increases to our net deferred income tax liability for unremitted earnings and our liability for uncertain tax positions, partially offset by a favorable adjustment related to U.S. foreign tax credits. Our deferred tax liability for unremitted foreign earnings was $ 5.9 million as of August 31, 2023, which represents our estimate of the net tax cost associated with the remittance of $ 284.0 million of foreign earnings that are not considered to be permanently reinvested. We have not provided for foreign withholding or income taxes on the remaining foreign subsidiaries’ undistributed earnings because such earnings have been retained and reinvested by the subsidiaries as of August 31, 2023. Accordingly, no provision has been made for foreign withholding or income taxes, which may become payable if the remaining undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries were remitted to us as dividends. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Stock Repurchase Program | NOTE 9 — STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM On January 8, 2008 , we announced our authorization of a stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase shares of RPM International Inc. common stock at management’s discretion. As announced on November 28, 2018, our goal was to return $ 1.0 billion in capital to stockholders by May 31, 2021 through share repurchases and the retirement of our convertible note during fiscal 2019. On April 16, 2019, after taking into account share repurchases under our existing stock repurchase program to date, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of the remaining $ 600.0 million in value of RPM International Inc. common stock by May 31, 2021. As previously announced, given macroeconomic uncertainty resulting from the Covid pandemic, we had suspended stock repurchases under the program, but in January 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the resumption of our stock repurchase program. At the time of resuming the program, $ 469.7 million of shares of common stock remained available for repurchase. The Board of Directors also extended the stock repurchase program beyond its original May 31, 2021 expiration date until such time that the remaining $ 469.7 million of capital has been returned to our stockholders. As a result, we may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market or in private transactions at various times and in amounts and for prices that our management deems appropriate, subject to insider trading rules and other securities law restrictions. The timing of our purchases will depend upon prevailing market conditions, alternative uses of capital and other factors. We may limit or terminate the repurchase program at any time. During the three months ended August 31, 2023, we repurchased 122,425 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $ 12.5 million, or an average of $ 102.10 per share. During the three months ended August 31, 2022, we repurchased 303,079 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $ 25.0 million, or an average of $ 82.49 per share. The maximum dollar amount that may yet be repurchased under our stock repurchase program was approximately $ 304.8 million at August 31, 2023. |

We expect that pension expense will fluctuate on a year-to-year basis, depending upon the investment performance of plan assets and potential changes in interest rates, and these fluctuations may have a material impact on our consolidated financial results in the future. We previously disclosed in our financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023 that we are required and expect to contribute approximately $ 0.7 million to our retirement plans in the U.S. and approximately $ 5.7 million to plans outside the U.S. during the current fiscal year. Throughout fiscal 2024, we will evaluate whether to make additional contributions. |
Contingencies and Accrued Losse

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingencies and Accrued Losses | NOTE 13 — CONTINGENCIES AND ACCRUED LOSSES Product Liability Matters We provide, through our wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries, certain insurance coverage, primarily product liability coverage, to our other subsidiaries. Excess coverage is provided by third-party insurers. Our product liability accruals provide for these potential losses as well as other uninsured claims. Product liability accruals are established based upon actuarial calculations of potential liability using industry experience, actual historical experience and actuarial assumptions developed for similar types of product liability claims, including development factors and lag times. To the extent there is a reasonable possibility that potential losses could exceed the amounts already accrued, we believe that the amount of any such additional loss would be immaterial to our results of operations, liquidity and consolidated financial position. Warranty Matters We also offer warranties on many of our products, as well as long-term warranty programs at certain of our businesses, and have established product warranty liabilities. We review these liabilities for adequacy on a quarterly basis and adjust them as necessary. The primary factors that could affect these liabilities may include changes in performance rates as well as costs of replacement. Provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale and periodically adjusted, as required, to reflect actual experience. It is probable that we will incur future losses related to warranty claims we have received but that have not been fully investigated and related to claims not yet received. While our warranty liabilities represent our best estimates at August 31, 2023, we can provide no assurances that we will not experience material claims in the future or that we will not incur significant costs to resolve such claims beyond the amounts accrued or beyond what we may recover from our suppliers. Based upon the nature of the expense, product warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of sales or within SG&A. Also, due to the nature of our businesses, the amount of claims paid can fluctuate from one period to the next. While our warranty liabilities represent our best estimates of our expected losses at any given time, from time-to-time we may revise our estimates based on our experience relating to factors such as weather conditions, specific circumstances surrounding product installations and other factors. The following table includes the changes in our accrued warranty balances: Three Months Ended August 31, August 31, (In thousands) 2023 2022 Beginning Balance $ 11,776 $ 10,905 Deductions (1) ( 7,407 ) ( 6,344 ) Provision charged to expense 7,633 7,939 Ending Balance $ 12,002 $ 12,500 (1) Primarily claims paid during the period. Environmental Matters Like other companies participating in similar lines of business, some of our subsidiaries are involved in environmental remediation matters. It is our policy to accrue remediation costs when the liability is probable and the costs are reasonably estimable, which generally is not later than at completion of a feasibility study or when we have committed to an appropriate plan of action. We also take into consideration the estimated period of time over which payments may be required. The liabilities are reviewed periodically and, as investigation and remediation activities continue, adjustments are made as necessary. Liabilities for losses from environmental remediation obligations do not consider the effects of inflation and anticipated expenditures are not discounted to their present value. The liabilities are not offset by possible recoveries from insurance carriers or other third parties but do reflect anticipated allocations among potentially responsible parties at federal superfund sites or similar state-managed sites, third-party indemnity obligations, and an assessment of the likelihood that such parties will fulfill their obligations at such sites. Other Contingencies One of our former subsidiaries in our SPG reportable segment has been the subject of a proceeding in which one of its former distributors brought suit against the subsidiary for breach of contract. Following a June 2017 trial, a jury determined that the distributor was not entitled to any damages on the distributor’s claims. On appeal, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered a new trial with respect to certain issues. On December 10, 2021, a new jury awarded $ 6.0 million in damages to the distributor. Per the parties’ contracts, the distributor may also be entitled to recover some portion of its attorneys’ fees. On July 3, 2023, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its decision rejecting the distributor's arguments and denying all appellate relief to the distributor, which also rendered our cross-appeal moot. As a result of this decision, we increased our accrual to $ 6.0 million for the year ended May 31, 2023, and have since further increased our accrual to $ 6.4 million, which we currently believe to be the low end of the range of loss. While an ultimate loss in excess of the accrued amount is reasonably possible, we believe that the high end of the range of loss would not be materially more than the $ 6.4 million noted above. This contingency remains a liability of the Company. Gain on Business Interruption Insurance In April 2021, there was a significant plant explosion at a key alkyd resin supplier which caused severe supply chain disruptions. As a result of this disruption, the Consumer segment incurred incremental costs and lost sales during fiscal 2021 and 2022. A claim for these losses was submitted under our business interruption insurance policy. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024 the Consumer segment recovered $ 10.3 million from insurance. These proceeds were recorded as a gain in the three-month period ended August 31, 2023. The insurance gain is recorded as a reduction to SG&A expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income, and the proceeds are included within cash flows from operating activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue | NOTE 14 — REVENUE We operate a portfolio of businesses that manufacture and sell a variety of product lines that include specialty paints, protective coatings, roofing systems, sealants and adhesives, among other things. We disaggregate revenues from the sales of our products and services based upon geographical location by each of our reportable segments, which are aligned by similar economic factors, trends and customers, which best depict the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. See Note 15, “Segment Information,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details regarding our disaggregated revenues, as well as a description of each of the unique revenue streams related to each of our four reportable segments. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. The majority of our revenue is recognized at a point in time. However, we also record revenues generated under construction contracts, mainly in connection with the installation of specialized roofing and flooring systems and related services. For certain polymer flooring installation projects, we account for our revenue using the output method, as we consider square footage of completed flooring to be the best measure of progress toward the complete satisfaction of the performance obligation. In contrast, for certain of our roofing installation projects, we account for our revenue using the input method, as that method is the best measure of performance as it considers costs incurred in relation to total expected project costs, which essentially represents the transfer of control for roofing systems to the customer. In general, for our construction contracts, we record contract revenues and related costs as our contracts progress on an over-time model. We have elected to apply the practical expedient to recognize revenue net of allowances for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract type, although our customers’ payment terms generally include a requirement to pay within 30 to 60 days of fulfilling our performance obligations . In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, we have determined that our contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. We have elected to apply the practical expedient to treat all shipping and handling costs as fulfillment costs, as a significant portion of these costs are incurred prior to control transfer. Significant Judgments Our contracts with customers may include promises to transfer multiple products and/or services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. For example, judgment is required to determine whether products sold in connection with the sale of installation services are considered distinct and accounted for separately, or not distinct and accounted for together with installation services and recognized over time. We provide customer rebate programs and incentive offerings, including special pricing and co-operative advertising arrangements, promotions and other volume-based incentives. These customer programs and incentives are considered variable consideration and recognized as a reduction of net sales. Up-front consideration provided to customers is capitalized as a component of other assets and amortized over the estimated life of the contractual arrangement. We include in revenue variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the variable consideration is resolved. In general, this determination is made based upon known customer program and incentive offerings at the time of sale and expected sales volume forecasts as it relates to our volume-based incentives. This determination is updated each reporting period. Certain of our contracts include contingent consideration that is receivable only upon the final inspection and acceptance of a project. We include estimates of such variable consideration in our transaction price. Based on historical experience, we consider the probability-based expected value method appropriate to estimate the amount of such variable consideration. Our products are generally sold with a right of return, and we may provide other credits or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize. Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. We record a right of return liability to accrue for expected customer returns. Historical actual returns are used to estimate future returns as a percentage of current sales. Obligations for returns and refunds were not material individually or in the aggregate. We offer assurance type warranties on our products as well as separately sold warranty contracts. Revenue related to warranty contracts that are sold separately is recognized over the life of the warranty term. Warranty liabilities for our assurance type warranties are discussed further in Note 13, “Contingencies and Accrued Losses,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Contract Balances Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing customers. Our contract assets are recorded for products and services that have been provided to our customer but have not yet been billed and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our short-term contract liabilities consist of advance payments, or deferred revenue, and are included in other accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Trade accounts receivable, net of allowances, and net contract assets consisted of the following: (In thousands, except percentages) August 31, 2023 May 31, 2023 $ Change % Change Trade accounts receivable, less allowances $ 1,418,886 $ 1,503,040 $ ( 84,154 ) ( 5.6 %) Contract assets $ 71,939 $ 49,188 $ 22,751 46.3 % Contract liabilities - short-term ( 41,477 ) ( 42,396 ) 919 ( 2.2 %) Net Contract Assets $ 30,462 $ 6,792 $ 23,670 The $ 23.7 million increase in our net contract assets from May 31, 2023 to August 31, 2023, resulted primarily due to the timing of construction jobs in progress at August 31, 2023 versus May 31, 2023. During the three-month periods ending August 31, 2023 and 2022 we recognized $ 21.3 million and $ 12.8 million of revenue, which is included in contract liabilities as of May 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We also record long-term deferred revenue, which amounted to $ 77.3 million and $ 76.6 million as of August 31, 2023 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The long-term portion of deferred revenue is related to warranty contracts and is included in other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have elected to adopt the practical expedient to not disclose the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied as of the end of the reporting period for performance obligations that are part of a contract with an original expected duration of one year or less. We recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. As our contract terms are primarily one year or less in duration, we have elected to apply a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs include our internal sales force compensation program and certain incentive programs as we have determined annual compensation is commensurate with annual sales activities. Allowance for Credit Losses Our primary allowance for credit losses is the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts reduces the trade accounts receivable balance to the estimated net realizable value equal to the amount that is expected to be collected. The allowance was based on assessments of current creditworthiness of customers, historical collection experience, the aging of receivables and other currently available evidence. Trade accounts receivable balances are written-off against the allowance if a final determination of uncollectibility is made. All provisions for allowances for doubtful collection of accounts are included in SG&A expenses. The following tables summarize the activity for the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended August 31, 2023 and 2022: Three Months Ended August 31, August 31, (In thousands) 2023 2022 Beginning Balance $ 49,482 $ 46,669 Bad debt provision 7,696 2,407 Uncollectible accounts written off, net of recoveries ( 782 ) ( 667 ) Translation adjustments 188 ( 1,634 ) Ending Balance $ 56,584 $ 46,775 |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | NOTE 15 — SEGMENT INFORMATION We operate a portfolio of businesses and product lines that manufacture and sell a variety of specialty paints, protective coatings, roofing systems, flooring solutions, sealants, cleaners and adhesives. We manage our portfolio by organizing our businesses and product lines into four reportable segments as outlined below, which also represent our operating segments. Within each operating segment, we manage product lines and businesses which generally address common markets, share similar economic characteristics, utilize similar technologies and can share manufacturing or distribution capabilities. Our four operating segments represent components of our business for which separate financial information is available that is utilized on a regular basis by our chief operating decision maker in determining how to allocate the assets of the company and evaluate performance. These four operating segments are each managed by an operating segment manager, who is responsible for the day-to-day operating decisions and performance evaluation of the operating segment’s underlying businesses. We evaluate the profit performance of our segments primarily based on income before income taxes, but also look to earnings (loss) before interest and taxes (“EBIT”), as a performance evaluation measure because interest (income) expense, net is essentially related to corporate functions, as opposed to segment operations. Effective June 1, 2023, certain Asia Pacific businesses and management structure, formerly of our CPG segment, were transferred to our PCG segment to create operating efficiencies and a more unified go-to-market strategy in Asia Pacific. As a result of this business realignment, $ 11.4 million of goodwill was transferred from the CPG segment to the PCG segment. Additionally, this realignment is reflected in our reportable segments beginning with our first quarter of fiscal 2024. As such, historical segment results have been recast to reflect the impact of this change. Our CPG reportable segment products are sold throughout North America and also account for a significant portion of our international sales. Our construction product lines are sold directly to contractors, distributors and end-users, such as industrial manufacturing facilities, public institutions and other commercial customers. Products and services within this reportable segment include construction sealants and adhesives, coatings and chemicals, roofing systems, concrete admixture and repair products, building envelope solutions, insulated cladding, flooring systems, and weatherproofing solutions. Our PCG reportable segment products are sold throughout North America, as well as internationally, and are sold directly to contractors, distributors and end-users, such as industrial manufacturing facilities, public institutions and other commercial customers. Products and services within this reportable segment include high-performance flooring solutions, corrosion control and fireproofing coatings, infrastructure repair systems and fiberglass reinforced plastic gratings. Our Consumer reportable segment manufactures and markets professional use and do-it-yourself (“DIY”) products for a variety of mainly consumer applications, including home improvement and personal leisure activities. Our Consumer reportable segment’s major manufacturing and distribution operations are located primarily in North America, along with a few locations in Europe, Australia and South America. Our Consumer reportable segment products are primarily sold directly to mass merchandisers, home improvement centers, hardware stores, paint stores, craft shops and through distributors. The Consumer reportable segment offers products that include specialty, hobby and professional paints; caulks; adhesives; cleaners; sandpaper and other abrasives; silicone sealants and wood stains. Our SPG reportable segment products are sold throughout North America and internationally, primarily in Europe. Our specialty product lines are sold directly to contractors, distributors and end-users, such as industrial manufacturing facilities, public institutions and other commercial customers. The SPG reportable segment offers products that include industrial cleaners, restoration services equipment, colorants, nail enamels, exterior finishes, edible coatings and specialty glazes for pharmaceutical and food industries, and other specialty original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) coatings. In addition to our four reportable segments, there is a category of certain business activities and expenses, referred to as corporate/other, that does not constitute an operating segment. This category includes our corporate headquarters and related administrative expenses, results of our captive insurance companies, gains or losses on the sales of certain assets and other expenses not directly associated with any reportable segment. Assets related to the corporate/other category consist primarily of investments, prepaid expenses and headquarters’ property and equipment. These corporate and other assets and expenses reconcile reportable segment data to total consolidated income before income taxes and identifiable assets. We reflect income from our joint ventures on the equity method and receive royalties from our licensees. The following tables present a disaggregation of revenues by geography, and the results of our reportable segments consistent with our management philosophy, by representing the information we utilize, in conjunction with various strategic, operational and other financial performance criteria, in evaluating the performance of our portfolio of businesses.

Consolidation, Noncontrolling Interests and Basis of Presentation | CONSOLIDATION, NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2023, and August 31, 2022. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2023. Our financial statements include all of our majority-owned subsidiaries. We account for our investments in less-than-majority-owned joint ventures, for which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, under the equity method. Effects of transactions between related companies are eliminated in consolidation. Noncontrolling interests are presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements as if parent company investors (controlling interests) and other minority investors (noncontrolling interests) in partially-owned subsidiaries have similar economic interests in a single entity. As a result, investments in noncontrolling interests are reported as equity in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, our Consolidated Financial Statements include 100 % of a controlled subsidiary’s earnings, rather than only our share. Transactions between the parent company and noncontrolling interests are reported in equity as transactions between stockholders, provided that these transactions do not create a change in control. Our business is dependent on external weather factors. Historically, we have experienced strong sales and net income in our first, second and fourth fiscal quarters comprising the three-month periods ending August 31, November 30 and May 31, respectively, with weaker performance in our third fiscal quarter (December through February). |
New Accounting Pronouncements | NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS New Accounting Pronouncements We have not adopted any Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) during fiscal 2024 that have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, there are no current ASU's issued, but not adopted, that are expected to have a material impact on the Company. |
