Worthington Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2011 Results

COLUMBUS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 31, 2011--Worthington Industries, Inc. (NYSE: WOR) today reported net sales of $569.4 million and net earnings of $26.3 million, or $0.35 per share, for its fiscal 2011 third quarter ended February 28, 2011. In last year’s third quarter, the Company reported net sales of $451.1 million and a net loss of $17.7 million, or $0.22 per share, which included $0.28 per share in impairment and restructuring charges.

Comparative financial highlights for the three- and nine-month periods are as follows:

(U.S. dollars in millions, except per share data)

“We are very pleased with the excellent results this quarter and continue to see positive signs of recovery in many of our markets,” said John McConnell, Chairman and CEO. “Our businesses have continued to perform well as we have remained focused on enhancing our earnings potential, improving our operating efficiencies, and investing in businesses that will help us achieve our goals.”

Consolidated Quarterly Results

Net sales for the third quarter ended February 28, 2011, were $569.4 million, up 26% from the comparable quarter last year, when net sales were $451.1 million. An overall increase in volumes had a $79.1 million positive impact on net sales as both Steel Processing and Pressure Cylinders segments showed improvements.

Gross margin for the current quarter was $88.3 million, or 16% of net sales, compared to $57.7 million, or 13% of net sales, for the prior year quarter. The $30.6 million increase in gross margin is primarily due to increased volumes in both Steel Processing and Pressure Cylinders. Inventory holding gains helped margins in both the current quarter and prior year quarter. SG&A expenses were $2.3 million higher than the prior year quarter primarily due to increased profit sharing, bonus and wage expenses offset by lower legal and bad debt expense. The prior year quarter included $4.9 million in litigation related expenses.

Operating income for the quarter was $28.0 million, up $63.3 million versus last year’s operating loss. Increased volumes and better spreads between average selling prices and the cost of steel were the drivers for the increase in operating income. The prior year quarter included $35.5 million of pre-tax impairment and restructuring charges primarily related to the former Construction Services businesses.

Interest expense was $4.5 million in the quarter, up from $1.9 million in the prior year mainly due to the higher interest rate on the $150.0 million, 6.5% unsecured notes, issued in April 2010 to lock in long-term financing.

Equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures was $17.0 million, an increase of $2.4 million from the comparable year-ago quarter, on sales of $201.7 million. WAVE represented the majority of equity earnings contributing $14.1 million of earnings in the current quarter. TWB and Serviacero contributed equity income of $1.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

For the quarter, income tax expense of $11.9 million compared to an income tax benefit of $6.7 million for the comparable prior year period. The current year quarter reflects an estimated annual effective tax rate of 32.3% compared to 34.9% for the prior year quarter, before the impact of discrete tax adjustments. The discrete adjustments were minimal for the current quarter, but were $11.8 million for the prior year quarter, primarily due to the tax impact of the previously mentioned impairment charges.

Balance Sheet

At quarter end, total debt was $331.0 million, down $43.0 million from the previous quarter ended November 30, 2010, as a reduction of working capital lowered short-term borrowing needs. As of February 28, 2011, the Company had utilized $80.0 million of its $100.0 million trade accounts receivable securitization facility, and had no borrowings outstanding on the $400.0 million revolving credit facility.

Cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $65.1 million, compared to cash used by operations of $14.1 million in the year-ago quarter and cash provided by operating activities of $59.5 million from the previous quarter.

During the current quarter, the Company invested $5.1 million in property, plant and equipment and paid $19.5 million, net of cash acquired, for a 60% ownership interest in Nitin Cylinders Limited, as described in the highlights section below.

Quarterly Segment Results

Steel Processing’s net sales of $301.8 million were up 30%, or $69.5 million, over the prior year quarter. A 16% increase in volumes increased sales by $47.9 million over the prior year quarter. The largest increase came from higher value added processing for the automotive market, aided by the contribution from the Gibraltar strip steel acquisition. This change in the product mix combined with a higher average cost of steel in the current quarter, resulted in an increase in the average selling price and a $21.6 million increase in net sales. The mix of direct versus toll tons processed was 54% to 46% this quarter, compared to 51% to 49% a year ago.

Operating income of $14.2 million was $6.7 million higher than the prior year quarter. Higher volumes contributed $5.9 million to the improved operating income and a favorable pricing spread increased operating income by $10.2 million, partially offset by higher manufacturing and SG&A expenses.

Pressure Cylinders’ net sales of $135.9 million were up 17% from the year ago quarter. Volumes for the European operations improved dramatically as the industrial gas and automotive markets continued to recover from the global economic downturn. Stable conditions in North American markets led to a 7% increase in revenues from these operations. Operating income increased 164% from the prior year quarter to $10.8 million, driven by the solid performance in the North American operations and a return to profitability in European operations.

Metal Framing’s net sales of $81.4 million were up 21%, or $13.9 million, from the prior year quarter as higher selling prices, driven by the cost of steel, increased net sales by $12.5 million. Volumes were up 1%, increasing net sales by $1.4 million. The impact of higher average selling prices increased margins by $8.7 million while lower manufacturing expenses improved margins by $1.8 million. The current quarter operating income was $2.7 million, compared to an operating loss of $9.1 million in the prior year quarter. As a result of the transaction described in the Highlights section below, operations of the Metal Framing segment have essentially been contributed into a new joint venture effective March 1, 2011. A 25% interest was retained in this joint venture, which will be unconsolidated, with its results reported as equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates in the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings.

Company Outlook

“We remain optimistic about the current business environment. While the potential remains for some uneven results, we are confident that the overall trend will continue to be positive year over year gains in our current businesses,” McConnell said. “We will also continue to build our international presence and explore opportunities to augment our current platform with acquisitions that meet our criteria of increasing our margins and decreasing the volatility of our earnings.”

Dividend Declared

On February 28, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share which was paid on March 29, 2011, to shareholders of record on March 15, 2011.
