Effective January 1, 2023, Sherwin-Williams changed its organizational structure to manage and report on the Latin American architectural coatings business within the Consumer Brands Group in order to align demand and service pattern trends more closely with its current business strategy. The Latin American operations were previously part of the Americas Group and with this change, the Americas Group has become the Paint Stores Group. Beginning in the first quarter of 2023, Sherwin-Williams will report current and prior segment results for the newly adjusted Paint Store Group and Consumer Brands Group.
