COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 20, 2024 – Worthington Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: WOR) reported net sales of $316.8 million and net earnings from continuing operations of $22.0 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, for its fiscal 2024 third quarter ended February 29, 2024. This compares to net sales of $346.3 million and net earnings from continuing operations of $29.8 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2023. On an adjusted basis, the Company reported net earnings from continuing operations of $40.2 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the current year quarter compared to adjusted net earnings from continuing operations of $39.9 million, or $0.81 per share, in the prior year quarter.
As previously disclosed, the separation of the Company’s former Steel Processing business into an independent publicly traded company, Worthington Steel, Inc. (“Worthington Steel”), was completed on December 1, 2023 (the “Separation”). Accordingly, the results of Worthington Steel are presented as discontinued operations separate from the Company’s continuing operations in periods prior to the Separation. Earnings from discontinued operations include operating expenses only to the extent directly attributable to Worthington Steel. Indirect corporate overhead costs are included in continuing operations, and, to the extent eliminated post-Separation, have been included as an adjustment to earnings from continuing operations in periods prior to the Separation in the table below. The third quarter of fiscal 2024 was negatively impacted by the final Separation costs, as well as a one-time charge to income tax expense primarily related to non-deductible transaction costs. In addition, the current year quarter was negatively impacted by a non-cash charge to settle, in full, the unfunded benefit obligation of our last remaining pension plan. Results in both the current year quarter and the prior year quarter were impacted by certain other items that have been excluded from net earnings from continuing operations.
