Briefing
Worthington Industries reported a strong first quarter, driven by solid results in Steel Processing and Building Products, but faced headwinds in Consumer Products due to weather, customer destocking, and lower consumer spending.

The company's Steel Processing segment saw healthy demand, while Building Products benefited from strong contributions from WAVE and ClarkDietrich combined with growth in wholly owned businesses.
- Net sales decreased by 15% compared to the prior year quarter, totaling $1.2 billion.
- Net earnings attributable to controlling interest increased to $96.1 million, or $1.93 per diluted share, compared to $64.1 million, or $1.30 per diluted share in the prior year quarter.
