COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Worthington Enterprises Inc. (NYSE: WOR), a designer and manufacturer of market-leading brands that improve everyday life by elevating spaces and experiences, today reported results for its fiscal 2025 fourth quarter ended May 31, 2025. Recent Developments and Fourth Quarter Highlights (all comparisons to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024): Net sales were $317.9 million, a decrease of 0.3%, reflecting the deconsolidation of the former Sustainable Energy Solutions segment (“SES”), nearly offset by volume growth and contributions from the Ragasco business acquired in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Net earnings from continuing operations increased 111% to $3.6 million, while adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations grew 35% to $85.1 million.Earnings per share (“EPS”) from continuing operations (diluted) improved from a loss of $(0.64) to $0.08 per share, while adjusted EPS from continuing operations (diluted) increased from $0.74 to $1.06 per share.Operating cash flow increased 38% to $62.4 million, while free cash flow increased 46% to $49.3 million.Repurchased 200,000 shares of common stock for $9.8 million, leaving 5,365,000 shares remaining on the Company’s share repurchase authorization.Declared a quarterly dividend of $0.19 per share payable on September 29, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2025, a 12% increase, or $0.02 per share, compared to the prior quarter.Acquired Elgen Manufacturing, a market-leading designer and manufacturer of HVAC parts and components, ductwork and structural framing primarily used in commercial buildings throughout North America. The acquisition closed on June 19, 2025, for approximately $93 million, subject to closing adjustments. “We closed fiscal 2025 with a strong fourth quarter, delivering year-over-year and sequential growth in adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS and free cash flow,” said Worthington Enterprises President and CEO Joe Hayek. “Consumer Products continued to perform well in a dynamic environment, driven by disciplined cost management and effective execution, while Building Products delivered robust top- and bottom-line growth, supported by improved volumes and steady contributions from WAVE and ClarkDietrich. Our results reflect the efforts of exceptional teams across our Company delivering value for shareholders. I want to thank all of our employees across the globe for their continued hard work and commitment to serving our customers.” Financial highlights for the fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 fourth quarters are as follows: (U.S. dollars in millions, except per share amounts)4Q 2025 4Q 2024 GAAP Financial Measures Net sales$317.9 $318.8 Operating loss (30.4) (56.1)Earnings (loss) before income taxes 8.3 (26.8)Net earnings (loss) from continuing operations 3.9 (31.5)EPS from continuing operations - diluted 0.08 (0.64)Net cash provided by operating activities 62.4 45.2 Non-GAAP Financial Measures(1) Adjusted operating income$21.8 $5.8 Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations 85.1 63.2 Adjusted EPS from continuing operations - diluted 1.06 0.74 Free cash flow 49.3 33.8 ________________________________ (1) Refer to the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Definitions” section of this release for additional information regarding our use of non-GAAP financial measures, including reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures. Consolidated Quarterly Results Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 were down slightly from the prior year quarter to $317.9 million as the impact of the deconsolidation of SES effective May 29, 2024, was nearly offset by higher overall volumes and contributions from the Ragasco acquisition. Net sales in the prior year quarter included $39.9 million related to SES, which is now operated as an unconsolidated joint venture and its results are reported within equity income on the consolidated statement of earnings beginning June 1, 2024. The operating loss of $30.4 million represented a $25.6 million improvement over the prior year quarter. Results in both the fiscal 2025 and prior year fourth quarters included nonrecurring items totaling $52.2 million and $61.8 million, respectively, primarily resulting from the non-cash write-down of intangible assets in the General Tools & Instruments (“GTI”) business in the fiscal 2025 fourth quarter and the deconsolidation of the SES business in the prior year quarter. Excluding these items, adjusted operating income increased $16.0 million to $21.8 million on the impact of higher overall volume, particularly within the Building Products segment. Equity income increased $2.3 million from the prior year quarter to $42.7 million, driven by higher contributions from WAVE and ClarkDietrich, which were up a combined $6.4 million over the prior year quarter. This was partially offset by a loss at the SES joint venture, which included a $3.4 million non-cash impairment charge that reduced equity income in the quarter. Income tax expense was down slightly to $4.7 million, as the impact of discrete items in both periods more than offset higher pre-tax earnings from continuing operations. Income tax expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 reflects an annual effective rate of 26.1% compared to 52.6% in the prior year, which was impacted by discrete items related to the deconsolidation of the SES business. On an adjusted basis, the annual effective tax rate was 23.0% compared to 23.5% in the prior year. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow The Company ended the quarter with cash of $250.1 million, an increase of $5.9 million from May 31, 2024. During the fourth quarter, the Company generated operating cash flow of $62.4 million, of which $13.1 million was invested in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow of $49.3 million, up from $33.8 million in the prior year quarter. Capital expenditures in the fiscal 2025 fourth quarter included approximately $7.7 million related to ongoing facility modernization projects. Total debt at quarter end was $302.9 million, consisting entirely of long-term debt, and increased $4.7 million from May 31, 2024, primarily due to the remeasurement of the Company’s euro-denominated notes. The Company had no borrowings under its revolving credit facility as of May 31, 2025, leaving $500.0 million available for future use. Quarterly Segment Results Consumer Products generated net sales of $125.6 million, essentially flat compared to the prior year quarter, on slightly higher volume. Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.7 million over the prior year quarter to $20.8 million, driven by lower SG&A expenses and favorable product mix. Building Products generated net sales of $192.3 million in the fiscal 2025 fourth quarter, an increase of $38.8 million, or 25.2%, over the prior year quarter. Growth was driven by higher overall volumes and contributions from the Ragasco acquisition. Adjusted EBITDA increased $19.6 million over the prior year quarter to $71.3 million on the impact of higher net sales and higher equity income contributions from WAVE and ClarkDietrich. Outlook “Heading into fiscal 2026, we are confident in our ability to continue to drive sustainable growth and long-term value,” Hayek said. “Our recent acquisition of Elgen Manufacturing reflects our growth strategy of building and acquiring businesses with leadership positions in niche markets. Leveraging our people first performance-based culture, the Worthington Business System and a strong balance sheet, our teams are very well positioned to continue leading the way by focusing on innovative solutions that elevate spaces and experiences."

WORTHINGTON ENTERPRISES, INC.USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES. These materials include certain financial measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Non-GAAP financial measures typically exclude items that management believes are not reflective of, and thus should not be included when evaluating the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate ongoing performance, engage in financial and operational planning, and determine incentive compensation. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information regarding the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and should not be considered as an alternative to the comparable GAAP financial measure. Additionally, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures allow for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the Company’s businesses and enables investors to evaluate operations and future prospects in the same manner as management. The following provides an explanation of each non-GAAP financial measure presented in these materials: Adjusted operating income (loss) is defined as operating income (loss) excluding the items listed below, to the extent naturally included in operating income (loss). Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations is defined as net earnings from continuing operations attributable to controlling interest (“net earnings from continuing operations”) excluding the after-tax effect of the excluded items outlined below. Adjusted earnings per diluted share from continuing operations (“Adjusted EPS from continuing operations - diluted”) is defined as adjusted net earnings from continuing operations divided by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding). Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is the measure by which management evaluates segment performance and overall profitability. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations excludes additional items including, but not limited to, those listed below, as well as other items that management believes are not reflective of, and thus should not be included when evaluating the performance of ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations also excludes stock-based compensation due to its non-cash nature, which is consistent with how management assesses operating performance and determines incentive compensation. At the segment level, adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations includes expense allocations for centralized corporate back-office functions that exist to support the day-to-day business operations. Public company and other governance costs are held at the corporate level within the unallocated corporate and other category. Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations by net sales. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial liquidity measure that is used by the Company to assess its ability to generate cash beyond what is required for its business operations and capital expenditures. The Company defines free cash flow as net cash flows from operating activities less investment in property, plant, and equipment. Free cash flow conversion is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by the Company to measure how much of its adjusted net earnings attributable to controlling interest is converted into cash. The Company defines free cash flow conversion as free cash flow divided by net earnings from continuing operations. EXCLUSIONS FROM NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Management believes it is useful to exclude the following items from its non-GAAP financial measures for its own and investors’ assessment of the business for the reasons identified below. Additionally, management may exclude other items from non-GAAP financial measures that do not occur in the ordinary course of the Company’s ongoing business operations and note them in the reconciliation from net earnings from continuing operations to the non-GAAP financial measure adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. Impairment charges are excluded because they do not occur in the ordinary course of the Company’s ongoing business operations, are inherently unpredictable in timing and amount, and are non-cash, which management believes facilitates the comparison of historical, current and forecasted financial results.Restructuring activities consists of established programs that are intended to fundamentally change the Company’s operations, and as such are excluded from its non-GAAP financial measures. The Company’s restructuring programs may include closing or consolidating production facilities or moving manufacturing of a product to another location, realignment of the management structure of a business unit in response to changing market conditions or general rationalization of headcount. The Company’s restructuring activities generally give rise to employee-related costs, such as severance pay, and facility-related costs, such as exit costs and gains or losses on asset disposals but may include other incremental costs associated with the Company’s restructuring activities. Restructuring and other expense, net, may also include other nonrecurring items included in operating income but incremental to the Company’s normal business activities. These items are excluded because they are not part of the ongoing operations of the Company’s underlying business.Separation costs, which consist of direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with the completed Separation are excluded as they are one-time in nature and are not expected to occur in periods following the Separation. These costs include fees paid to third-party advisors, such as investment banking, audit and other advisory services as well as direct and incremental costs associated with the Separation of shared corporate functions. Results in fiscal 2024 also include incremental compensation expense associated with the modification of unvested short and long-term incentive compensation awards, as required under the employee matters agreement executed in conjunction with the Separation.Non-cash charges in miscellaneous expense are excluded due to their non-cash nature and the fact that they do not occur in the normal course of business and may obscure analysis of trends and financial performance.Loss on extinguishment of debt is excluded because it does not occur in the normal course of business and may obscure analysis of trends and financial performance. Additionally, the amount and frequency of this type of charge is not consistent and is significantly impacted by the timing and size of debt extinguishment transactions.Corporate costs eliminated at Separation reflect certain corporate overhead costs that no longer exist post-Separation. These costs were included in continuing operations as they represent general corporate overhead that was historically allocated to the Company’s former steel processing business but did not meet the requirements to be presented as discontinued operations.Pension settlement charges are excluded due to their non-cash nature and the fact that they do not occur in the normal course of business and may obscure analysis of trends and financial performance. These transactions typically result from the transfer of all or a portion of the total projected benefit obligation to third-party insurance companies.One-time tax effects of Separation are charges to income tax expense primarily related to non-deductible transaction costs. They are excluded because they are one-time in nature and not expected to occur in periods following the Separation.Non-recurring loss in equity income is excluded because it does not occur in the normal course of business and is inherently unpredictable in timing and amount.
