Insights

Worthington Enterprises posted mixed Q2 FY2025 results with some positive indicators despite challenging conditions. Net sales declined 8.1% to $274.0 million, but adjusted EPS grew 5% to $0.60. The company's operational efficiency is evident with adjusted EBITDA increasing 2% to $56.2 million despite lower revenues. The balance sheet remains robust with $193.8 million cash and $500 million available credit facility. The strategic acquisition of Ragasco and continued share repurchases ($8.1 million) demonstrate active capital deployment. The Consumer Products segment showed margin improvement while Building Products benefited from Ragasco integration and WAVE performance.

The company's performance amid "mild but persistent macro headwinds" shows resilience in its business model. The Consumer Products segment's improved volumes and margins, coupled with Building Products' strategic growth through Ragasco acquisition, positions Worthington well for market recovery. The 24.1% effective tax rate improvement from 25.7% enhances profitability. Strong cash flow generation of $49.1 million from operations supports ongoing modernization initiatives. The company's focus on value-added solutions and strategic positioning in growth markets, combined with its transformation and M&A strategy, suggests potential for sustained growth as market conditions improve.

“We delivered solid financial results for the quarter despite mild but persistent macro headwinds, achieving year over year and sequential growth in adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EPS,” said Worthington Enterprises President and CEO Joe Hayek. “Consumer Products’ earnings growth was driven by increased volumes and improved gross margins. Building Products generated higher earnings driven by the inclusion of Ragasco and stronger contributions from WAVE."

Consolidated Quarterly Results

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 were $274.0 million, a decrease of $24.2 million, or 8.1%, from the prior year quarter, primarily driven by the deconsolidation of SES during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Net sales in the prior year quarter include $27.5 million related to SES, which is now operated as an unconsolidated joint venture and results are reported within equity income on the consolidated statement of earnings beginning June 1, 2024.

Operating income of $3.5 million was favorable $17.9 million to the operating loss in the prior year quarter due to certain nonrecurring effects of the separation of the former Steel Processing business (“Separation”) in the prior year, including one-time Separation costs and stranded corporate costs eliminated post-Separation, partially offset by higher restructuring and other expense in the current quarter. Excluding these items, adjusted operating income was $6.1 million, an increase of $3.8 million over the prior year quarter, primarily driven by the inclusion of Ragasco, which was acquired on June 3, 2024, along with higher overall gross margin.

Equity income decreased $4.1 million from the prior year quarter to $34.6 million, on lower contributions from ClarkDietrich in the current year quarter and the $2.8 million gain in the prior year quarter related to the divestiture of the Brazilian operations of the engineered cabs joint venture. These headwinds were partially offset by a $3.1 million increase in equity earnings from WAVE. ClarkDietrich contributed equity earnings of $9.7 million, down $4.0 million from the prior year quarter, but up $1.0 million sequentially from the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Income tax expense was $9.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $6.6 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was driven by higher pre-tax earnings from continuing operations, partially offset by a lower estimated annual effective tax rate of 24.1%, down from 25.7% in the prior year quarter.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

The Company ended the quarter with cash of $193.8 million, down $50.4 million from May 31, 2024, primarily driven by the acquisition of Ragasco. During the second quarter, the Company generated operating cash flow of $49.1 million, of which $15.2 million was invested in capital projects, including approximately $4.9 million related to previously announced facility modernization projects.

Total debt at quarter end consisted entirely of long-term debt and was relatively unchanged from May 31, 2024, at $295.7 million. The Company had no borrowings under its revolving credit facility as of November 30, 2024, leaving $500.0 million available for future use.

Quarterly Segment Results

Consumer Products generated net sales of $116.7 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2025, down $2.6 million, or 2.2%, from the prior year quarter, primarily driven by a less favorable product mix that was partially offset by higher volumes. Adjusted EBITDA was $15.5 million, up $2.8 million over the prior year quarter, on the combined impact of higher volumes and gross margin improvement partially offset by higher SG&A expense.

Building Products generated net sales of $157.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2025, an increase of $6.0 million, or 4.0%, over the prior year quarter on contributions from Ragasco, partially offset by lower overall volumes. Adjusted EBITDA of $47.2 million, was up $1.4 million over the prior year quarter, as contributions from Ragasco and higher equity income from WAVE were partially offset by the combined impact of lower volumes and lower contributions of equity income from ClarkDietrich.

Outlook

“Our team continues to navigate the current environment effectively, maintaining a strong focus on delivering value-added solutions and products for our customers,” Hayek said. “While we are pleased with our performance, we continue to set our sights higher. We have improved our value propositions in multiple product lines over the last year, and we are very well positioned as growth returns to our end markets. Led by our people-first, performance-based culture, leveraging a solid balance sheet and a commitment to transformation, innovation and M&A, we are confident in our ability to optimize our business, drive sustainable growth and deliver long-term value to our shareholders.”

Instead, they are included as subtotals in the reconciliation of earnings (loss) before income taxes to adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, which is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management.
(2)Excludes $2.7 million of stock-based compensation reported in restructuring and other expense, net in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings for the three months ended November 30, 2024 related to the accelerated vesting of certain outstanding equity awards upon retirement of a key employee.

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 (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”) is defined as adjusted net earnings from continuing operations divided by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding).

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.  EBITDA 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 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 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 is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by net sales.

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 period 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.
