4Q 2008 EARNINGS SLIDESFINAL

PPG Industries reported financial results for Q4 and full year 2008. Q4 sales declined 18% to $3.1 billion due to a severe drop in global demand. However, full year sales increased 30% to $15.8 billion due to growth in coatings segments and acquisitions. Earnings per share were $0.41 for Q4 and $4.59 for the full year after adjustments. PPG expects global demand and currency rates to impact Q1 2009 results. The company generated strong cash flow in 2008 and repaid debt ahead of schedule.
