Worthington Steel, Inc. (NYSE:WS), a market-leading, value-added metals processing company, today reported financial results for the fiscal 2026 fourth quarter ended May 31, 2026.

Fourth Quarter Highlights (all comparisons to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025):

Net sales of $929.2 million increased 12% compared to $832.9 million.
Operating loss of $57.6 million compared to operating income of $66.4 million due primarily to non-cash impairments in the Electrical Steel reporting unit and acquisition related expenses in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026.
Net loss attributable to controlling interest of $48.7 million compared to net earnings attributable to controlling interest of $55.7 million.
Net loss per diluted share attributable to controlling interest of $0.98 compared to net earnings per diluted share attributable to controlling interest of $1.10; adjusted net earnings per diluted share attributable to controlling interest of $0.74 compared to $1.05.
Adjusted EBIT of $54.0 million compared to $70.1 million.
In January 2026, the Company entered into a business combination agreement with Klöckner & Co SE ("Kloeckner") and launched a voluntary public cash takeover offer for all outstanding Kloeckner shares at €11.00 per share. During the fourth quarter, shares representing a majority of Kloeckner’s outstanding share capital were tendered into the offer, satisfying the minimum acceptance threshold. On June 3, 2026, subsequent to the end of fiscal 2026, the Company completed settlement of the offer and its acquisition of a majority interest in Kloeckner, securing approximately 62% of Kloeckner’s outstanding shares following settlement (the "Kloeckner Acquisition"), representing a significant milestone toward eventual operating control and value capture.
Recognized as a John Deere Partner-level Supplier for the 14^th consecutive year and received John Deere’s inaugural Community Engagement Award.
Named a Top Workplace in Columbus by Columbus CEO magazine, marking the 14^th consecutive year the Company has earned this recognition.
Declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share payable on September 29, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2026.

"Worthington Steel closed fiscal 2026 with continued progress against our long-term strategy," said Geoff Gilmore, president and chief executive officer. "Fourth quarter results reflected solid execution in a mixed market with tighter year-over-year value-added spreads, which are beginning to normalize. Higher net sales were supported by growth in our direct business and continued focus on value-added solutions for customers. The completion of the Kloeckner transaction shortly after year-end marks the largest acquisition in our history and a defining step in building a stronger, more diversified metals processing platform. As we move forward, our priorities remain clear: safety, customer service, operational discipline, integration readiness and strong returns for shareholders."

____________________

(1)

Results in both the current year period and prior year period were impacted by certain items, as further discussed and reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures / Supplemental Data section later in this release.

(2)

For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, net loss per diluted share attributable to controlling interest was based on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 49.9 million, which excluded non-qualified stock options and restricted common share awards, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. The calculation of adjusted net earnings per diluted share attributable to controlling interest (Non-GAAP) was based on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 50.9 million, as non-qualified stock options and restricted common share awards are dilutive for adjusted net earnings per diluted share attributable to controlling interest (Non-GAAP).

Quarterly Results

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 were $929.2 million, an increase of $96.3 million, or 12%, compared to the prior year quarter. This increase was driven primarily by higher direct volumes, including the $47.6 million impact of the addition of Sitem Group and, to a lesser extent, higher average direct selling prices. Direct tons sold increased by 3%, with legacy business, excluding Sitem Group, increasing 1% and the remaining increase due to the addition of Sitem Group. Direct selling prices, excluding the impact of Sitem Group, increased 5% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the prior year quarter. Toll processing sales decreased $1.9 million, or 6%, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the prior year quarter. Toll volumes decreased 15% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in toll volumes was due to a combination of closing the Cleveland-area Worthington Samuel Coil Processing ("WSCP") facility in May 2025 as well as softening demand from mill customers. Toll selling prices increased 11% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher value-added mix within toll processing. The mix of direct tons versus toll tons processed was 65% to 35% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to 60% to 40% in the prior year quarter.

Gross margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was $118.1 million, a decrease of $8.9 million compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by lower direct spreads (calculated as sales less material costs) and lower toll spreads, partially offset by a $2.3 million favorable impact from Sitem Group. Direct spreads decreased by $6.6 million primarily due to a $6.1 million unfavorable change from an estimated $20.8 million inventory holding gain in the prior year quarter to an estimated $14.7 million inventory holding gain in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. Additionally, value-added market spread compression negatively impacted direct spreads by $2.6 million compared to the prior year. These headwinds were partially offset by $2.1 million spread impact of higher direct volumes, notably in automotive. Toll spreads, down $2.4 million, were negatively impacted by $4.0 million due to lower volumes, partially offset by $1.6 million due to a favorable change in toll price due to mix.

Operating loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was $57.6 million, a decrease of $124.0 million compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was driven primarily by $94.5 million of goodwill and long-lived assets impairment charges, a $22.3 million increase in selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense, and a $8.9 million decrease in gross margin, partially offset by a $1.7 million favorable change in restructuring and other (income), expense, net. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company recognized $94.5 million of impairments related to goodwill and long-lived assets within the Electrical Steel reporting unit. The impairments resulted from weakened demand in certain end markets, particularly industrial motors in both Europe and the United States, due to increased foreign competition, and in automotive, some delayed program launches. The $22.3 million increase in SG&A expense, which included $4.3 million related to Sitem Group, was primarily attributable to $15.5 million of professional fees related to the Kloeckner Acquisition, and to a lesser extent, an increase in compensation and benefits expenses of $2.5 million. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company recognized restructuring expenses of $1.7 million due to the previously announced plans to combine WSCP’s toll processing manufacturing facility in Cleveland, Ohio into its existing manufacturing facility in Twinsburg, Ohio, as well as the severance expense associated with the TWB Company’s ("TWB") voluntary retirement program.

Net loss attributable to controlling interest of $48.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compares to net earnings attributable to controlling interest of $55.7 million in the prior year quarter. Net loss per diluted share attributable to controlling interest of $0.98 per diluted share for its fiscal 2026 fourth quarter compares to net earnings per diluted share attributable to controlling interest of $1.10 in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted net earnings attributable to controlling interest of $37.9 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compares to $53.4 million in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net earnings per diluted share attributable to controlling interest of $0.74 compares to $1.05 in the prior year quarter. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 adjusted results exclude a $66.7 million after-tax impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, or $1.31 per diluted share, an $8.7 million unrealized after-tax loss on a Kloeckner purchase derivative, or $0.17 per diluted share, an $11.8 million after-tax Kloeckner acquisition-related expenses adjustment, or $0.23 per diluted share, a $12.2 million after-tax gain due to net investment income on Kloeckner securities held, or $0.24 per diluted share, a $12.3 million after-tax adjustment due to the expense related to the bridge nonrevolving loan commitment costs associated with the Kloeckner Acquisition, or $0.24 per diluted share, and $0.7 million after-tax pension adjustments, or $0.01 per diluted share. In addition, the impact of $0.02 per dilutive share was excluded in calculating the Company’s fourth quarter fiscal 2026 adjusted net earnings per diluted share attributable to controlling interest as this reflects the effect of these potentially dilutive shares that would otherwise be anti-dilutive on the net loss attributable to controlling interest. The prior year quarter adjusted results exclude a $3.0 after-tax gain on the Sitem Group purchase price derivative, or $0.06 per diluted share, and $0.7 million after-tax restructuring and other expense, net, or $0.01 per diluted share. For additional information on non-GAAP financial measures, see the Non-GAAP Financial Measures / Supplemental Data section later in this release.

Certain amounts disclosed within the Company’s quarterly results have been adjusted to conform to the current presentation due to the update to estimated tax rates on Non-GAAP adjustments in fiscal 2026. The adjustments had an immaterial impact to the presented results.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

As of May 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $84.6 million. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, net cash provided by operating activities was $44.9 million compared to $53.9 million in the prior year quarter. Investment in property, plant and equipment during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 was $37.1 million compared to $45.5 million in the prior year quarter. The Company generated free cash flow (as defined in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures / Supplemental Data section later in this release) of $7.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 compared to $8.4 million in the prior year quarter.

The Company ended the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 with debt of $256.8 million and $84.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, resulting in a net debt (as defined in the Non-GAAP Financial Measures / Supplemental Data section later in this release) position of $172.2 million.

The Company’s board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per common share. The dividend is payable on September 29, 2026, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 15, 2026.

WORTHINGTON STEEL, INC.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES / SUPPLEMENTAL DATA

(In millions, except volume and per share amounts)

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The Company also presents certain non-GAAP financial measures including (a) adjusted operating income, (b) adjusted earnings before income taxes, (c) adjusted income tax expense, (d) adjusted net earnings attributable to controlling interest, (e) adjusted net earnings per diluted share attributable to controlling interest, (f) net earnings (loss) before interest and taxes attributable to controlling interest ("EBIT"), (g) adjusted net earnings before interest and taxes attributable to controlling interest ("adjusted EBIT"), (h) net earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization attributable to controlling interest ("EBITDA"), (i) adjusted net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization attributable to controlling interest ("adjusted EBITDA"), (j) free cash flow, and (k) total debt less cash and cash equivalents ("net debt").

These non-GAAP financial measures typically exclude impairment and restructuring charges (gains) but may also exclude other 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 these non-GAAP financial measures, together with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, to evaluate the Company’s performance, engage in financial and operational planning, and determine incentive compensation and believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they provide additional perspective on the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations. Additionally, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they allow for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the Company’s business and enable investors to evaluate operations and future prospects in the same manner as management. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to represent, and should not be considered as, an alternative to GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. These measures may exclude items that are significant to understanding the Company’s financial results and condition, and other companies may define or calculate similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures differently. Accordingly, the non-GAAP financial measures presented should be considered in conjunction with, and not as a replacement for, the comparable GAAP financial measures.

For the purposes of the subsequent tables, the non-GAAP measures have been adjusted for the items identified below:

Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets – impairments of assets are excluded to facilitate period-to-period comparability of the Company’s operating performance, are inherently unpredictable in timing and amount, and are non-cash, so their exclusion facilitates the comparison of historical, current and forecasted financial results. For the periods presented in the subsequent tables, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets primarily relates to the following:
- Pre-tax long-lived asset impairment charges of $40.7 million were recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 related to certain asset groups within the Electrical Steel reporting unit whose carrying amounts exceeded their estimated fair values.
- Pre-tax goodwill impairment of $53.8 million was recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 within the Electrical Steel reporting unit resulting from changes in expected demand and future cash flows in certain electrical steel end markets.
- Pre-tax impairment charge of $1.5 million was recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2026 related to certain internal-use software assets at Tempel Canada determined to have no value.
- Pre-tax impairment charge of $0.6 million was recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2026 related to certain machinery at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Taylor, Michigan.
- Pre-tax impairment charges of $7.4 million were recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 in connection with a research and development intangible asset and consolidation of WSCP’s toll processing manufacturing facility in Cleveland, Ohio.
Restructuring – restructuring activities consist of items associated with the Company’s cost-optimization activities, 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 restructuring activities are excluded to facilitate period-to-period comparability of the Company’s operating performance.
Kloeckner purchase derivative – consists of the change in the fair value of an economic (non-designated) cash flow derivative that was entered into to hedge a portion of the expected purchase price of the outstanding shares of Kloeckner in connection with the Kloeckner Acquisition. The change in the fair value is recorded in miscellaneous income (expense), net, and it is excluded from adjusted results to facilitate period-to-period comparability of the Company’s operating performance as it reflects non-operational activity.
Kloeckner acquisition-related expenses – consists of the acquisition-related costs incurred in connection with the Kloeckner Acquisition, consisting primarily of advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional fees, as well as certain integration expenses, and are expensed to SG&A, as incurred, in accordance with GAAP. Exclusion of these costs is appropriate because they are directly attributable to a specific strategic transaction that management expects to be transformative to the Company’s portfolio, scale and long-term operating profile and are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operating performance for the periods presented. Exclusion facilitates period-over-period comparisons, and to assess performance excluding the impact of transaction-specific activities.
Kloeckner securities investment income, net – reflects the impact associated with the Company’s investment in Kloeckner equity securities, consisting of mark-to-market gains, dividend income, and other costs, recorded in miscellaneous income (expense), net. Management excludes these items from adjusted results to improve comparability of the Company’s operating performance across periods.
Bridge nonrevolving loan commitment costs – consists of fees and costs associated with temporary financing arrangements entered into in connection with the Kloeckner Acquisition, including bridge financing commitment fees, related lender fees, and other financing costs. These costs include amounts initially deferred and subsequently recognized in interest expense, net, when the related bridge financing was no longer applicable. Management excludes these items from adjusted results to improve comparability of the Company’s operating performance across periods.
Pension adjustments – pension-related impacts associated with discrete events impacting the Company’s pension plans, including a $1.4 million gain recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily associated with a pension curtailment resulting from headcount reductions. The fiscal 2025 gain related to a settlement resulting from a pension lift-out transaction to transfer a portion of the total projected benefit obligation of the pension plan to a third-party insurance company, which resulted in pre-tax non-cash gains reported in miscellaneous income (expense), net. The exclusion from adjusted results facilitates period-to-period comparability of the Company’s operating performance as these gains reflect discrete pension-related events.
Sitem Group acquisition completion bonus payment – consists of the one-time bonus payment paid to key individuals upon the successful acquisition closing of Sitem Group. The acquisition completion bonus payment was included within SG&A expense.
Gain on Sitem Group purchase derivative – consists of the mark-to-market gain on the economic (non-designated) foreign currency exchange contract entered into related to the purchase price for Sitem Group, which resulted in a pre-tax gain in miscellaneous income, net, and is excluded as it is not part of the Company’s ongoing operations.
Deferred tax asset adjustment – Tempel’s electrical steel facility in Nagold, Germany was included as part of the purchase consideration for the Sitem Group acquisition. The contribution resulted in the future disallowance of deferred tax assets located within certain foreign tax jurisdictions and resulted in the write-off of the deferred tax assets as well as the recognition of incremental income tax expense. As this impacts income tax, the adjustment does not impact EBIT, EBITDA, adjusted EBIT, or adjusted EBITDA.
Tax indemnification adjustment – tax and indemnification adjustments reported in income tax expense and miscellaneous income, net, related to an indemnification agreement with the former owners of Tempel. These adjustments are the result of a first quarter fiscal 2025 favorable tax ruling. The indemnification agreement, which was entered into with the former Tempel owners at the time the Company acquired Tempel, provides protection to the Company from rulings by tax authorities through the acquisition date.
Gain on land sale – sale of unused land on the campus of the Tempel subsidiary in China, which resulted in a pre-tax gain in miscellaneous income (expense), net, is excluded from adjusted results to facilitate period-to-period comparability of the Company’s operating performance as it reflects the non-operational disposition of real property.
Other loss, net – consists of the following items reported in miscellaneous income (expense), net, which are excluded from adjusted results to facilitate period-to-period comparability of the Company’s operating performance:
- Net insured loss incurred for damage as a result of a small, quickly contained fire at Tempel Canada. The Company recognized a $0.5 million pre-tax loss equal to the amount of the insurance deductible.
- Environmental reserve settlement gain of $0.2 million pre-tax recognized by Tempel Canada as the result of a prior indemnification from the former owners of the Canadian facility.

The following provides a reconciliation to the non-GAAP financial measures adjusted operating income, adjusted earnings before income taxes, adjusted income tax expense, adjusted net earnings attributable to controlling interest and adjusted net earnings per diluted share attributable to controlling interest from the most comparable GAAP measures for the three- and 12-month periods ended May 31, 2026, and May 31, 2025.

____________________
(1)	Excludes the impact of the noncontrolling interest.
(2)	For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, net loss per diluted share attributable to controlling interest was based on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 49.9 million, which excluded non-qualified stock options and restricted common share awards, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. The calculation of adjusted net earnings per diluted share attributable to controlling interest (Non-GAAP) was based on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 50.9 million, as non-qualified stock options and restricted common share awards are dilutive for adjusted net earnings per diluted share attributable to controlling interest (Non-GAAP).

To further assist in the analysis of results for the periods presented, the following volume and net sales information for the three- and 12-month periods ended May 31, 2026, and May 31, 2025, has been provided along with a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures, EBIT, adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP measure, which is net earnings attributable to controlling interest. Net earnings margin is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to controlling interest by net sales. Adjusted EBIT margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBIT by net sales. Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by net sales.
