According to the SEC filing (accession number 0001193125-26-452970), RPM International presented details about the MAP 2030 program at the Investor Day event. The presentation is available on the company’s website, and it includes data that do not conform directly to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The company has provided reconciliations of some non-GAAP data in the presentation, although it noted that certain projections, such as fiscal year 2030 Adjusted EBITDA, could not be reconciled due to unpredictable material terms.
