“The Worthington Steel team delivered a strong third quarter and I want to thank and congratulate our employees on their great performance in our first quarter as a standalone company,” said Geoff Gilmore, president and chief executive officer of Worthington Steel. “We saw improvements in sales, operating income and net income over the same quarter in 2023, and our teams are laser-focused on finishing the fiscal year strong.”

Consolidated Quarterly Results

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 were $805.8 million, an increase of $25.1 million, or 3%, compared to the prior year quarter. The increase was driven primarily by a 1% increase in direct selling prices and an 11% increase in toll selling prices. Additionally, there was a 1% increase in direct tons and a 9% increase in toll tons sold in the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Correspondingly, the mix of direct tons versus toll tons processed was 55% to 45% in the current year quarter, compared to 56% to 44% in the prior year quarter.

Gross margin increased by $56.9 million over the prior year quarter to $120.1 million. The increase was driven primarily by improved direct spreads and higher volume. Direct spreads, up $52.9 million, benefited from a $45.9 million favorable change from an estimated $26.6 million inventory holding loss in the prior year quarter to an estimated $19.3 million inventory holding gain in the current year quarter.

Operating income improved by $56.8 million over the prior year quarter to $66.3 million, primarily due to the improved gross margin. Operating income incrementally benefited from a $3.0 million decrease in costs associated with the Company's December 1, 2023 separation from Worthington Enterprises, Inc. (“Separation”) compared to the prior year quarter. These increases were offset by higher selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense, up $3.1 million, primarily due to increased wage and benefit costs resulting from a combination of higher headcount after the Separation as well as continued inflationary pressures.

WORTHINGTON STEEL, INC.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES / SUPPLEMENTAL DATA
(In millions, except volume and per share amounts)

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company also presents certain non-GAAP financial measures including (a) adjusted operating income, (b) adjusted earnings before income taxes, (c) adjusted income tax expense (benefit), (d) adjusted net earnings attributable to controlling interest, (e) adjusted net earnings per diluted share attributable to controlling interest, (f) adjusted net earnings before interest and taxes attributable to controlling interest (“adjusted EBIT”), (g) adjusted net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization attributable to controlling interest (“adjusted EBITDA”), (h) pro forma adjusted net earnings before interest and taxes attributable to controlling interest ("pro forma adjusted EBIT") and (i) free cash flow.

These non-GAAP financial measures typically exclude impairment and restructuring charges (gains), but may also exclude other 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 the Company’s performance, engage in financial and operational planning, and determine incentive compensation and believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they provide additional perspective on the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations. Additionally, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they allow for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the Company’s business and enable investors to evaluate operations and future prospects in the same manner as management.

For the purposes of the subsequent tables, the non-GAAP measures have been adjusted for the reasons identified below:

•

Impairment of long-lived assets - impairments 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, so their exclusion facilitates the comparison of historical and current financial results.

•

Restructuring activities - restructuring activities consist of items that are not part of the Company's 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).

•

Separation costs - direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with the Separation from Former Parent, including audit, legal, and other fees paid to third-party advisors as well as direct and incremental costs associated with the separation of shared corporate functions which are not part of the Company's ongoing operations.

The following provides a reconciliation to adjusted operating income, adjusted earnings before income taxes, adjusted income tax expense (benefit), adjusted net earnings attributable to controlling interest and adjusted net earnings per diluted share attributable to controlling interest from the most comparable GAAP measures for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023.

To further assist in the analysis of results for the periods presented, the following volume and net sales information for three- and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023 has been provided along with a reconciliation of adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure, which is net earnings attributable to controlling interests. Adjusted EBIT margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBIT by net sales. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by net sales.

The following provides a reconciliation of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) to free cash flow each of the past four fiscal quarters and the twelve months ended February 29, 2024. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes measures the Company's ability to generate cash beyond what is required for its business operations and capital expenditures.

To further assist in the analysis of results for the periods presented, the following information for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023 has been provided along with a reconciliation of net earnings attributable to controlling interest (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) to pro forma adjusted EBIT. Pro forma adjusted EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes includes incremental and on-going impacts to the Company's operating results as a stand-alone public company resulting from the Separation from Former Parent. The pro forma financial information assumes the Separation occurred on June 1, 2022, the first day of the Company's 2023 fiscal year..

The pro forma financial information has been prepared based upon the best available information and management estimates and is subject to assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying footnotes. It is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Company’s financial position or results of operations had the Separation occurred as of and for the periods indicated. In addition, the pro forma financial information is being provided for informational purposes only, and is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s future results of operations or financial condition had the Separation and related transactions been completed on the dates assumed. Management believes these assumptions and estimates are reasonable, given the information available on the date of this release.

There were no incremental pro forma adjustments made for the three months ended February 29, 2024 given this period included the actual results of operating as a stand-alone public company. For the nine months ended February 29, 2024, the adjustments included in the information below represent only the adjustments for the period prior to the Separation.
