Worthington Enterprises Reports Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results

COLUMBUS, Ohio (June 24, 2025) – 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):

“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:

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."
