AXTA
Axalta Coating Systems Ltd.
Is AXTA Halal?
Industrial and automotive coatings manufacturer — a permissible materials business whose current filing-based debt/assets screen fails.
What You Should Know
Axalta develops and manufactures liquid and powder coatings for automotive refinish, mobility and industrial markets. Its March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q reports assets of $7,558 million, debt and capital-lease obligations of $3,147 million, cash of $608 million, receivables of $1,261 million and quarterly revenue of $1,254 million. Debt/assets is 41.64%, liquidity/assets is 8.04% and receivables plus cash/assets is 24.73%; the asset-based debt screen fails. The filing presents swap-related interest income but not a reproducible gross non-compliant-income numerator, and no universal prohibited-revenue numerator is disclosed.
⚠️ Concerns
- •Known debt/assets is 41.64%, above examined 33.333% limits
- •Automotive refinish, mobility and industrial end uses require qualitative review
- •Swap-related interest-income disclosure is not a reproducible gross purification numerator
- •Debt and capital-lease obligations reflect the leveraged balance sheet
- •Chemical inputs, automotive cycles and acquisition/deleveraging exposure

Business-activity disclosure
Axalta manufactures liquid and powder coatings for automotive refinish, mobility and industrial markets. Coatings manufacturing is generally permissible, while customer end-use allocation remains qualitative.
Limitation: The filing does not provide a universal prohibited-revenue numerator across coating products and customer end uses.
Purification
A swap-related interest-income line is not a reproducible gross non-compliant-income numerator; no fixed scholar-approved purification percentage is asserted.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from Axalta's March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q for the three months ended that date.
- Debt is the reported $3,147 million debt-and-capital-lease-obligations balance, including current maturities.
- Cash is $608 million and receivables are the reported $1,261 million net current receivables balance, including trade accounts and notes receivable.
- The filing presents interest income on swaps designated as net investment hedges, not a reproducible gross non-compliant-income numerator; no fixed purification percentage is asserted.
- Automotive refinish, mobility and industrial coatings are generally permissible, but no universal prohibited-revenue numerator is asserted.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
