Gordon, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at RPM International, participated in the company's fiscal 2022 first-quarter earnings call on October 6, 2021. During the call, he discussed financial and operational matters, including inflation expectations and capital allocation. Gordon stated that the company anticipated overall inflation for the full fiscal 2022 year to be in the high teens, around 17 to 19 percent, noting that year-over-year inflation, driven mostly by materials but including labor and freight, was 30 percent higher at that time. He also mentioned that RPM had repurchased $62 million of stock since the winter and that the company had numerous capital expenditure projects underway due to growing revenues and volumes in several businesses, including capacity expansion efforts. The call also included remarks from Chairman and CEO Frank C. Sullivan, who acknowledged the retirement of Keith Smiley, RPM's Vice President, Controller, and Treasurer, and Kathy Rogers, Manager of Investor Relations, both of whom had long tenures with the company. Gordon's comments were part of the broader discussion on the company's financial outlook and strategic priorities.
