COLUMBUS, Ohio (June 23, 2026) – Worthington Enterprises Inc. (NYSE: WOR), a designer and manufacturer of market-leading building and consumer products that improve everyday life by elevating spaces and experiences, today reported results for its fiscal 2026 fourth quarter and full-year ended May 31, 2026.

Recent Developments and Highlights (comparisons to the prior-year period unless otherwise stated)

Fourth Quarter fiscal 2026

Full-Year fiscal 2026

“We closed fiscal 2026 with another quarter of solid performance, delivering positive organic growth and strong free cash flow while continuing to execute our strategy,” said Worthington Enterprises President and CEO Joe Hayek. “For the full year, our teams drove double-digit growth in adjusted EBITDA, expanded margins in our wholly owned businesses and maintained a strong balance sheet. I want to thank my colleagues around the world for their continued commitment to serving our customers and delivering value for our shareholders. Their dedication continues to strengthen our business.”

Financial highlights for the current year and prior year quarters are as follows:

Consolidated Quarterly Results

Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 increased $53.6 million, or 16.9%, over the prior year quarter to $371.5 million. Recent acquisitions contributed $44.1 million to net sales in the current year quarter. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, net sales increased $9.5 million, or 3.0%, compared to the prior year quarter.

Operating income increased $53.6 million to $23.2 million. Results in the prior year quarter included nonrecurring items totaling $52.2 million, resulting primarily from the non-cash write-down of intangible assets in the General Tools & Instruments (“GTI”) business. On an adjusted basis, operating income increased $3.7 million in the quarter to $25.5 million, reflecting contributions from recent acquisitions.

Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $4.6 million from the prior year quarter to $38.1 million, primarily due to lower contributions from ClarkDietrich, which were down $6.8 million. Contributions from WAVE remained strong at $32.3 million and were largely consistent with the prior year quarter, while higher contributions from the Workhorse and SES joint ventures partially offset the decline. Equity income in the prior year quarter included a $3.4 million non-cash impairment charge at the SES joint venture.

Income tax expense was $11.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, compared to $4.7 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was driven by higher pre-tax earnings. Income tax expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 reflects an annual effective rate of 22.9%, compared to 26.1% in the prior year, which was impacted by certain discrete items. On an adjusted basis, the annual effective tax rate was 23.3%, compared to 23.0% in the prior year.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

Total debt at quarter end was $305.9 million, consisting entirely of long-term debt, an increase of $3.0 million from May 31, 2025, 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, 2026, leaving $500.0 million available for future use and providing substantial liquidity.

The company ended the quarter with cash of $27.7 million, a decrease of $222.4 million from May 31, 2025, primarily reflecting the acquisitions of Elgen and LSI. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the company generated operating cash flow of $71.6 million, of which $16.5 million was invested in capital expenditures, resulting in free cash flow of $55.1 million, up from $49.3 million in the prior year quarter. Capital expenditures in the current year quarter included approximately $6.6 million related to ongoing facility modernization projects, which remain on track and are expected to be completed during fiscal 2027.

Quarterly Segment Results

Building Products generated net sales of $245.3 million in the current year quarter, an increase of $53.0 million, or 27.6%, over the prior year quarter. The increase was primarily driven by the impact of acquisitions, which contributed $44.1 million to net sales in the current year quarter. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, net sales increased $8.9 million, or 4.6% compared to the prior year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2.7 million, mainly driven by a $6.8 million decline in equity income contributions from ClarkDietrich and less favorable product mix compared to the prior year quarter.

Consumer Products generated net sales of $126.1 million in the current year quarter, up $0.6 million from the prior year quarter, driven by higher average selling prices, which were mostly offset by lower volume. Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.5 million to $24.3 million, driven by gross margin improvement and lower SG&A expense.

Outlook

“As we enter fiscal 2027, we are building on the momentum we created this year,” Hayek said. “Our teams remain focused on innovation, transformation and strategic M&A as we continue to strengthen our market positions, integrate recent acquisitions, expand our capabilities and deliver value for our customers. Supported by strong free cash flow generation and a healthy balance sheet, we are excited about the opportunities ahead and remain focused on creating long-term shareholder value.”

The company will review fiscal 2026 fourth quarter and full-year results during its quarterly conference call on June 24, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. Details regarding the conference call can be found on the company website at www.WorthingtonEnterprises.com.

We wish to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions included in the Act. Forward-looking statements reflect the company’s current expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events. These statements are often identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “likely,” “estimate,” “project,” “position,” “strategy,” “target,” “aim,” “seek,” “foresee” and similar words or phrases.

Because they are based on beliefs, estimates and assumptions, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We do not undertake, and hereby disclaim, any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

WORTHINGTON ENTERPRISES, INC.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES. These materials include certain financial measures that are not calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Non-GAAP financial measures typically exclude 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 to evaluate ongoing performance, engage in financial and operational planning, and determine incentive compensation. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information regarding the performance of the company’s ongoing operations and should not be considered as an alternative to the comparable GAAP financial measure. Additionally, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures allow for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the company’s businesses and enables investors to evaluate operations and future prospects in the same manner as management.

The following provides an explanation of each non-GAAP financial measure presented in these materials:

Adjusted operating income (loss) is defined as operating income (loss) excluding the items listed below, to the extent naturally included in operating income (loss).

Adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings attributable to controlling interest excluding the after-tax effect of the excluded items outlined below.

Adjusted EPS – diluted is defined as adjusted net earnings divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the applicable period.

Adjusted EBITDA is the measure by which management evaluates segment performance and overall profitability. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA excludes additional items including, but not limited to, those listed below, as well as other items that management believes are not reflective of, and thus should not be included when evaluating the performance of ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes stock-based compensation due to its non-cash nature, which is consistent with how management assesses operating performance and determines incentive compensation. At the segment level, adjusted EBITDA includes expense allocations for centralized corporate back-office functions that exist to support the day-to-day business operations. Public company and other governance costs are held at the corporate level within the unallocated corporate and other category.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing adjusted EBITDA by net sales.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial liquidity measure that is used by the company to assess its ability to generate cash beyond what is required for its business operations and capital expenditures. The company defines free cash flow as net cash flows from operating activities less investment in property, plant, and equipment.

Free cash flow conversion is a non-GAAP financial measure that is used by the company to measure how much of its adjusted net earnings attributable to controlling interest is converted into cash. The company defines free cash flow conversion as free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings.

EXCLUSIONS FROM NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Management believes it is useful to exclude the following items from its non-GAAP financial measures for its own and investors’ assessment of the business for the reasons identified below. Additionally, management may exclude other items from non-GAAP financial measures that do not occur in the ordinary course of the company’s ongoing business operations and note them in the reconciliation from net earnings to the non-GAAP financial measure adjusted EBITDA.
