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.

  • 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.
