COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Worthington Enterprises Inc. (NYSE: WOR), a market-leading designer and manufacturer of innovative products and solutions that serve customers in the building products and consumer products end markets, today reported results for its fiscal 2025 third quarter ended February 28, 2025. Third Quarter Highlights (all comparisons to the third quarter of fiscal 2024): Net sales were $304.5 million, a decrease of 4%, reflecting the deconsolidation of the former Sustainable Energy Solutions segment (“SES”), partially offset by volume growth and contributions from the Ragasco business acquired in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.Earnings before income taxes increased 30% to $52.6 million, while adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations grew 10% to $73.8 million.Earnings per share (“EPS”) from continuing operations (diluted) increased 80% to $0.79 per share, while adjusted EPS from continuing operations (diluted) grew 14% to $0.91 per share.Operating cash flow grew 14% to $57.1 million, and free cash flow increased 11% to $44.4 million.Repurchased 150,000 shares of common stock for $6.2 million leaving 5,565,000 shares remaining on the Company’s share repurchase authorization.Declared a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share payable on June 27, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 13, 2025. Financial highlights, on a continuing operations basis, for the current year and prior year quarters are as follows: (U.S. dollars in millions, except per share amounts) 3Q 2025 3Q 2024 GAAP Financial Measures Net sales $304.5 $316.8 Operating income 20.9 4.3 Earnings before income taxes 52.6 40.5 Net earnings from continuing operations 39.7 22.0 EPS from continuing operations - diluted 0.79 0.44 Net cash provided by operating activities 57.1 50.1 Non-GAAP Financial Measures (1) Adjusted operating income $26.2 $8.0 Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations 73.8 66.9 Adjusted EPS from continuing operations - diluted 0.91 0.80 Free cash flow 44.4 40.1 (1) Refer to the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Definitions” for additional information regarding our use of non-GAAP financial measures, including reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures. "We delivered strong results in Q3, achieving year-over-year and sequential growth in revenue, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS," said Worthington Enterprises President and CEO Joe Hayek. "Our growth in sales and earnings was driven by market share gains, a more favorable mix and improved gross margins in our wholly owned businesses, while our joint ventures remained steady despite a moderation in ClarkDietrich's results relative to last year’s strong performance. These results reflect outstanding execution from our team, who continues to drive efficiencies, deliver value-added solutions for our customers, and effectively manage costs, even during an uncertain macroeconomic environment.” Consolidated Quarterly Results Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 decreased $12.2 million, or 3.9%, from the prior year quarter to $304.5 million. The decrease was driven by the deconsolidation of SES during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024, partially offset by contributions from Ragasco and higher overall volumes. Net sales in the prior year quarter included $35.4 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. Operating income increased $16.6 million to $20.9 million. The current year quarter was negatively impacted $5.4 million due to restructuring charges, compared to $3.7 million in the prior year quarter, which included both restructuring charges and one-time costs related to the separation of the former steel processing business (“Separation”). Excluding these items, adjusted operating income increased $18.3 million over the prior year quarter to $26.2 million on the combined impact of higher overall volumes and favorable product mix. Equity income declined $11.2 million from the prior year quarter to $32.1 million, primarily due to lower contributions from ClarkDietrich, which decreased $8.3 million compared to a particularly strong prior year quarter. Income tax expense decreased $5.2 million from the prior year quarter to $13.2 million driven by a lower estimated annual effective tax rate partially offset by higher pre-tax earnings. Current year quarter income tax expense reflects an estimated annual effective tax rate of 24.4%, down from 30.8%, driven by the discrete tax effects of the Separation in the prior year quarter. The adjusted effective tax rate was 22.2% in the current year quarter compared to 23.1% in the prior year quarter. Balance Sheet and Cash Flow The Company ended the quarter with cash of $222.8 million, a decrease of $21.4 million from May 31, 2024. During the third quarter, the Company generated operating cash flow of $57.1 million, of which $12.7 million was invested in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow of $44.4 million up from $40.1 million in the prior year quarter. Capital expenditures in the current year quarter included approximately $7.6 million related to ongoing facility modernization projects. Total debt at quarter end consisted entirely of long-term debt and was relatively unchanged from May 31, 2024, at $293.9 million. The Company had no borrowings under its revolving credit facility as of February 28, 2025, leaving $500.0 million available for future use. Quarterly Segment Results Consumer Products generated net sales of $139.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of $6.5 million, or 4.9%, over the prior year quarter, driven by higher volumes. Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.0 million over the prior year quarter to $28.6 million on the combined impact of higher volumes and gross margin improvement, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses. Building Products generated net sales of $164.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of $16.6 million, or 11.2%, over the prior year quarter, driven by contributions from Ragasco and favorable product mix. Adjusted EBITDA increased slightly over the prior year quarter to $53.2 million, as the benefit from higher net sales was largely offset by lower equity income contributions from ClarkDietrich and WAVE. Outlook "As we look ahead, we remain confident in our ability to drive long-term growth and deliver shareholder value," Hayek said. "Our strong balance sheet, solid free cash flow and disciplined capital allocation strategy provide us the flexibility to invest in our businesses, pursue strategic M&A and return capital to shareholders with a focus on long-term value creation. While recent tariff announcements are creating some uncertainty across multiple markets, we are well-positioned as a domestic designer and manufacturer of market-leading brands, with strong customer relationships and an exceptional team who is committed to driving improvements throughout our business, as we navigate near-term dynamics and capitalize on future opportunities."

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”). The 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 the non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s performance, engage in financial and operational planning, and determine incentive compensation. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information and additional perspective on the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and should not be considered as an alternative to the comparable GAAP measure. Additionally, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures allow for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the Company’s businesses and enable 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 is defined as operating income 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”) is defined as adjusted net earnings from continuing operations divided by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding). Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is defined as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. EBITDA from continuing operations is calculated by adding or subtracting, as appropriate, interest expense, net, income tax expense, depreciation, and amortization to/from net earnings from continuing operations attributable to controlling interest, which is further adjusted to exclude impairment and restructuring charges (gains) as well as other items that management believes are not reflective of, and thus should not be included when evaluating the performance of its ongoing operations, as outlined below. 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. 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. Adjusted EBITDA margin from continuing operations 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 the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this report for its own and investors’ assessment of the business for the reasons identified below. Additionally, management may exclude other items from the non-GAAP financial measures that do not occur in the ordinary course of our ongoing business operations and note them in the reconciliation from earnings before income taxes from continuing operations to the non-GAAP financial measure of adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. Impairment charges are excluded because they do not occur in the ordinary course of our ongoing business operations, are inherently unpredictable in timing and amount, and are non-cash, which we believe facilitates the comparison of historical, current and forecasted financial results.Restructuring activities, which can result in both discrete gains and/or losses, consist of established programs that are not part of our ongoing operations, such as divestitures, closing or consolidating facilities, employee severance (including rationalizing headcount or other significant changes in personnel), and realignment of existing operations (including changes to management structure in response to underlying performance and/or changing market conditions). These items are excluded because they are not part of the ongoing operations of our 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 the current fiscal year 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.Loss on early 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 are those costs that were related to corporate resources that, post-Separation, no longer exist to support the Company’s continuing operations, but were not clearly identifiable to the former Steel Processing segment.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. Sonya L.
