Safe Harbor Statement

Selected statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, in “PART I – Item 2. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” constitute “forward-looking statements” as that term is used in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”).  Forward-looking statements reflect our 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,” “intend,” “estimate,” “plan,” “foresee,” “likely,” “will,” “should” or other similar words or phrases.  These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to:

 

 

the ever-changing effects of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and the various responses of governmental and nongovernmental authorities thereto (such as fiscal stimulus packages, quarantines, shut downs and other restrictions on travel and commercial, social or other activities) on economies (local, national and international) and markets, and on our customers, counterparties, employees and third-party service providers;

 

future or expected cash positions, liquidity and ability to access financial markets and capital;

 

outlook, strategy or business plans;

 

future or expected growth, growth potential, forward momentum, performance, competitive position, sales, volumes, cash flows, earnings, margins, balance sheet strengths, debt, financial condition or other financial measures;

 

pricing trends for raw materials and finished goods and the impact of pricing changes;

 

the ability to improve or maintain margins;

 

expected demand or demand trends for us or our markets;

 

additions to product lines and opportunities to participate in new markets;

 

expected benefits from Transformation and innovation efforts;

 

the ability to improve performance and competitive position at our operations;

 

anticipated working capital needs, capital expenditures and asset sales;

 

anticipated improvements and efficiencies in costs, operations, sales, inventory management, sourcing and the supply chain and the results thereof;

 

projected profitability potential;

 

the ability to make acquisitions and the projected timing, results, benefits, costs, charges and expenditures related to acquisitions, joint ventures, headcount reductions and facility dispositions, shutdowns and consolidations;

 

projected capacity and the alignment of operations with demand;

 

the ability to operate profitably and generate cash in down markets;

 

the ability to capture and maintain market share and to develop or take advantage of future opportunities, customer initiatives, new businesses, new products and new markets;

 

expectations for Company and customer inventories, jobs and orders;

 

expectations for the economy and markets or improvements therein;

 

expectations for generating improving and sustainable earnings, earnings potential, margins or shareholder value;

 

effects of judicial rulings; and

 

other non-historical matters.

 

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.  Any number of factors could affect actual results, including, without limitation, those that follow:

 

 

the risks, uncertainties and impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic – the duration, extent and severity of which is impossible to predict, including the possibility of future resurgence in the spread of COVID-19 or variants thereof – and the availability, effectiveness and effectivenessacceptance of vaccines, and other actual or potential public health emergencies and actions taken by governmental authorities or others in connection therewith; the effect of national, regional and global economic conditions generally and within major product markets, including significant economic disruptions from COVID-19, the actions taken in connection therewith and the implementation of related fiscal stimulus packages;

 

the effect of national, regional and global economic conditions generally and within major product markets, including significant economic disruptions from COVID-19, the actions taken in connection therewith and the implementation of related fiscal stimulus packages;

 

the effect of conditions in national and worldwide financial markets, including inflation and increases in interest rates, and with respect to the ability of financial institutions to provide capital;

 

the impact of tariffs, the adoption of trade restrictions affecting our products or suppliers, a United States withdrawal from or significant renegotiation of trade agreements, the occurrence of trade wars, the closing of border crossings, and other changes in trade regulations or relationships;

ii


 

changing oil prices;

ii


 

product demand and pricing;

 

changes in product mix, product substitution and market acceptance of our products;

 

fluctuations in the pricing, quality or availability of raw materials (particularly steel), supplies, transportation, utilities and other items required by operations;

 

the outcome of adverse claims experience with respect to workers’ compensation, product recalls or product liability, casualty events or other matters;

 

effects of facility closures and the consolidation of operations;

 

the effect of financial difficulties, consolidation and other changes within the steel, automotive (especially in light of the semi-conductor shortages), construction and other industries in which we participate;

 

failure to maintain appropriate levels of inventories;

 

financial difficulties (including bankruptcy filings) of original equipment manufacturers, end-users and customers, suppliers, joint venture partners and others with whom we do business;

 

the ability to realize targeted expense reductions from headcount reductions, facility closures and other cost reduction efforts;

 

the ability to realize cost savings and operational, sales and sourcing improvements and efficiencies, and other expected benefits from Transformation initiatives, on a timely basis;

 

the overall success of, and the ability to integrate, newly-acquired businesses and joint ventures, maintain and develop their customers, and achieve synergies and other expected benefits and cost savings therefrom;

 

capacity levels and efficiencies, within facilities, within major product markets and within the industries in which we participate as a whole;

 

the effect of disruption in the business of suppliers, customers, facilities and shipping operations due to adverse weather, casualty events, equipment breakdowns, labor shortages (especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic), interruption in utility services, civil unrest, international conflicts (especially in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), terrorist activities, pandemics or other causes;

 

changes in customer demand, inventories, spending patterns, product choices, and supplier choices;

 

risks associated with doing business internationally, including economic, political and social instability (especially in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), foreign currency exchange rate exposure and the acceptance of our products in global markets;

 

the ability to improve and maintain processes and business practices to keep pace with the economic, competitive and technological environment;

 

deviation of actual results from estimates and/or assumptions used by us in the application of our significant accounting policies;

 

the level of imports and import prices in our markets;

 

the impact of environmental laws and regulations or other actions of the United States Environmental Protection Agency or similar regulators which increase costs or limit our ability to use or sell certain products;

 

the impact of judicial rulings and governmental regulations, both in the United States and abroad, including those adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and other governmental agencies as contemplated by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010;

 

the effect of healthcare laws in the United States and potential changes for such laws, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which may increase our healthcare and other costs and negatively impact our operations and financial results;

 

the effect of tax laws in the United States and potential changes for such laws, which may increase our costs and negatively impact our operations and financial results;

cyber security risks;

 

the effects of privacy and information security laws and standards; and

 

other risks described from time to time in the filings of Worthington Industries, Inc. with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described in “PART I – Item 1A. — Risk Factors” of ourthe Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021.

We note these factors for investors as contemplated by the Act.  It is impossible to predict or identify all potential risk factors.  Consequently, you should not consider the foregoing list to be a complete set of all potential risks and uncertainties.  Any forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on current information as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we assume no obligation to correct or update any such statements in the future, except as required by applicable law.

WORTHINGTON INDUSTRIES, INC.

CONDENSED Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

 

NOTE A – Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Worthington Industries, Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “our,” “Worthington,” or the “Company”).  Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method.  Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company owns controlling interests in the following 4 joint ventures: Spartan Steel Coating, L.L.C. (“Spartan”) (52%), TWB Company, L.L.C. (“TWB”) (55%), Worthington Samuel Coil Processing LLC (“Samuel” or “Samuel joint venture”) (63%), and Worthington Specialty Processing (“WSP”) (51%).  These joint ventures are consolidated with the equity owned by the other joint venture members shown as noncontrolling interests in our consolidated balance sheets, and the other joint venture members’ portions of net earnings and other comprehensive income (“OCI”) shown as net earnings or comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statements of earnings and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, respectively.  Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method.  See further discussion of our unconsolidated affiliates in “NOTE DE – Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates”.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature except those which have been disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for these interim periods, have been included.  Operating results for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2021February 28, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”). For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”) of Worthington Industries, Inc. (the “2021 Form 10-K”).

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting:The Company’s operations are managed principally on a products and services basis.  Segment information is prepared on the same basis that the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) reviews financial information for operational decision-making purposes.  See further discussion in “NOTE OP – Segment Operations”.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

On June 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which simplifies the accounting for income taxes, eliminates certain exceptions within Topic 740 and clarifies certain aspects of the current guidance to promote consistency among reporting entities. The adoption of the accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE B – Inventory

Due to the recent decline in steel pricing, the net realizable value of our inventory was lower than the cost reflected in our records at February 28, 2022.  Accordingly, we recorded a lower of cost or net realizable value adjustment during the third quarter of fiscal 2022 totaling $15,698,000 to reflect this lower value.  The entire amount related to our Steel Processing operating segment and was recorded in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of earnings.

NOTE DE – Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

Investments in affiliated companies that we do not control, either through majority ownership or otherwise, are accounted for using the equity method.  At August 31, 2021,February 28, 2022, the Company held non-controlling investments in the following affiliated companies:  ArtiFlex Manufacturing, LLC (“ArtiFlex”) (50%), Clarkwestern Dietrich Building Systems LLC (“ClarkDietrich”) (25%), Serviacero Planos, S. de R. L. de C.V. (“Serviacero Worthington”) (50%), Taxi Workhorse Holdings, LLC (“Cabs”) (20%), and Worthington Armstrong Venture (“WAVE”) (50%).  

 

We received distributions from unconsolidated affiliates totaling $19,697,000$77,504,000 during the threenine months ended August 31, 2021.February 28, 2022.  We have received cumulative distributions from WAVE in excess of our investment balance amounting to $87,413,000, which resulted in an amount recorded within “other liabilities”is shown as a separate liability on our consolidated balance sheet of $92,917,000 at August 31, 2021.February 28, 2022.  In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, we reclassified the negative investment balance to the liabilities section of our consolidated balance sheet.  We will continue to record our equity in the net income of WAVE as a debit to the investment account, and if the investment balance becomes positive, it will again be shown as an asset on our consolidated balance sheet.  If it becomes probable that any excess distribution may not be returned (upon joint venture liquidation or otherwise), we will recognize any negative investment balance classified as a liability as income immediately.

We use the “cumulative earnings” approach for determining cash flow presentation of distributions from our unconsolidated joint ventures.  Distributions received are included in our consolidated statements of cash flows as operating activities, unless the cumulative distributions received, less distributions received in prior periods that were determined to be returns of investment, exceed our portion of the cumulative equity in the net earnings of the joint venture, in which case the excess distributions are deemed to be returns of the investment and are classified as investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Fiscal 2022: NaN.During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, management committed to plans to sell certain production equipment at the Samuel joint venture’s facility in Twinsburg, Ohio.  As all of the criteria for classification of assets held for sale were met, the net assets have been presented separately as assets held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets.  In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the net assets were recorded at the lower of net book value or fair market value less costs to sell.  The net book value of the production equipment exceeded its estimated fair market value less costs to sell of $700,000, resulting in an impairment charge of $3,076,000.

Fiscal 2021:  During the first quarternine months of fiscal 2021, management determinedwe recorded impairment charges totaling $13,739,000 as impairment indicators of impairment were present with regard to the cryogenics business primarily operated out of Theodore, Alabama with European distribution in Austria.  As a result, property, plant and equipment with a carrying value of $13,526,000 were written down to their estimated fair value of $9,193,000 (determined using Level 2 inputs), resulting in an impairment charge of $4,333,000.  Additionally, the customer list intangible assets with a carrying value of $3,662,000 were deemed to be fully impaired and written off.  The fair value of the customer list intangible assets was determined using unobservable Level 3 inputs.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company decided to discontinue its operation of the manufacturing line for alternative fuel cylinders at the Jefferson, Ohio facility.  As a result, long-lived assets with a carrying value of $1,823,000 were written down to their estimated fair market value of $400,000 (determined using Level 2 inputs), resulting in an impairment charge of $1,423,000.identified as follows:

Due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related market softness in the oil & gas equipment operations in Tulsa, Oklahoma, we tested the long-lived assets consisting of fixed assets and customer list intangible assets with net book values of $7,375,000 and $2,374,000, respectively, for impairment.  The fair value of the fixed assets was determined to be $5,934,000 (using observable Level 2 inputs) resulting in an impairment charge of $1,441,000.  Additionally, the customer list intangible assets were deemed to be fully impaired (using unobservable Level 3 inputs) and written off.

The future undiscounted cash flows of the cryogenics business primarily operated out of the Theodore, Alabama facility did not support its book value.  As a result, property, plant and equipment with a carrying value of $13,526,000 was written down to its estimated fair value of $9,193,000 (determined using Level 2 inputs), resulting in an impairment charge of $4,333,000.  Additionally, the customer list intangible and technological know-how assets with a carrying value of $3,662,000 were deemed to be fully impaired (using unobservable Level 3 inputs) and written off.  These assets were subsequently sold in October 2020.

NOTE LM – Stock-Based Compensation

Non-Qualified Stock Options

During the threenine months ended August 31, 2021,February 28, 2022, we granted non-qualified stock options covering a total of 54,500 common shares under our stock-based compensation plans.  The weighted average exercise price of $60.19 per share was equal to the market price of the underlying common shares at the grant date.  The fair value of these stock options, based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, calculated at the grant date, was $19.73 per share.  The calculated pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for these stock options is $1,075,000$1,075,080 and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period, net of any forfeitures.  The following assumptions were used to value these stock options:

 

Dividend yield

 

 

2.10

%

Expected volatility

 

 

41.62

%

Risk-free interest rate

 

 

1.11

%

Expected term (years)

 

 

6.0

 

 

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of Worthington Industries, Inc.’s common shares and the risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury strip rate for the expected term of the stock options.  The expected term was developed using historical exercise experience.

Service-Based Restricted Common Shares

During the threenine months ended August 31, 2021,February 28, 2022, we granted an aggregate of 116,650180,350 service-based restricted common shares under our stock-based compensation plans, which generally vest three years after their grant date.  The fair value of these restricted common shares was equal to the closing market price of the underlying common shares on the date of grant, or $60.29$56.86 per share. The calculated pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for these restricted common shares is $7,033,000$10,412,000 and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year service-based vesting period.


Performance Share Awards

We have awarded performance shares to certain key employees under our stock-based compensation plans.  These performance shares are earned based on the level of achievement with respect to corporate targets for cumulative corporate economic value added,


earnings per share growth and, in the case of business unit executives, a business unit adjusted earnings before interest and taxes target, in each case for the three-year periods ending May 31, 2022, 2023 and 2024.  These performance share awards will be paid, to the extent earned, in common shares of Worthington Industries, Inc. in the fiscal quarter following the end of the applicable three-year performance period.  The fair values of our performance shares are determined by the closing market prices of the underlying common shares at the respective grant dates of the performance shares and the pre-tax stock-based compensation expense is based on our periodic assessment of the probability of the targets being achieved and our estimate of the number of common shares that will ultimately be issued.  During the threenine months ended August 31, 2021February 28, 2022, we granted performance share awards covering an aggregate of 36,400 common shares (at target levels).  The calculated pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for these performance shares is $2,191,000.$2,191,000. The ultimate pre-tax stock-based compensation expense to be recognized over the three-year performance period on all tranches will vary based on our periodic assessment of the probability of the target being achieved.  

 

NOTE MN – Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the threenine months ended August 31,February 28, 2022 and 2021 and August 31, 2020 reflected estimated annual effective income tax rates of 23.3%23.2% and 21.6%20.1%, respectively. The annual effective income tax ratesrespectively, and exclude any impact from the inclusion of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statements of earnings. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests are primarily a result of our Samuel, Spartan, TWB and WSP consolidated joint ventures. The net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests in Samuel, Spartan, TWB and WSP’s U.S. operations do not generate tax expense to Worthington since the investors in Samuel, Spartan, TWB and WSP’s U.S. operations are taxed directly based on the earnings attributable to them. The tax expense of TWB’s wholly-owned foreign corporations is reported in our consolidated income tax expense. Management is required to estimate the annual effective income tax rate based upon its forecast of annual pre-tax income for domestic and foreign operations. Our actual effective income tax rate for fiscal 2022 could be materially different from the forecasted rate as of August 31, 2021.February 28, 2022.

NOTE OP – Segment Operations

Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our management reviews financial information for operational decision-making purposes. Factors used to identify reportable operating segments include the nature of the products and services provided by each business, the management reporting structuring,structure, similarity of economic characteristics and certain quantitative measures, as prescribed by authoritative accounting guidance.  

Effective June 1, 2021, we reorganized the management structure of our Pressure Cylinders business to better align around the end markets which it serves,served, resulting in 3 new reportable operating segments: Consumer Products, Building Products and Sustainable Energy Solutions.  Our Steel Processing operating segment was not impacted by these changes.  A discussion of each of these new reportable segments is included below.

Consumer Products: This reportable segment is comprised of brands that offer market-leading products in the tools, outdoor living and celebrations end markets with brands that include Coleman®, Bernzomatic®, Balloon Time®, Mag Torch®, General®, Garden-Weasel®, Pactool International®, Hawkeye™ and Worthington Pro-Grade ™.Pro-Grade™.  This market sector includes propane-filled cylinders for torches, camping stoves and other applications, certain propane gas (LPG) cylinders, hand-held torches, Balloon Time® helium-filled balloon kits, and specialized hand tools and instruments.  These products are sold primarily to mass merchandisers, retailers and distributors. LPG cylinders, which hold fuel for barbeque grills and recreational vehicle equipment, are also sold through cylinder exchangers.

Building Products: This reportable segment includes refrigerant and LPG cylinders, well water and expansion tanks, and other specialty products. Cylinders are generally sold to gas producers and distributors. Refrigerant gas cylinders are used to hold refrigerant gases for commercial, residential, and automotive air conditioning and refrigeration systems. LPG cylinders hold fuel for residential and light commercial heating systems, industrial forklifts and commercial/residential cooking (the latter, generally outside North America).Well water tanks and expansion tanks are used in the residential market with the latter also sold into commercial markets.  Specialty products include a variety of fire suppression and chemical tanks.  

Sustainable Energy Solutions: This reportable segment, which is primarily based in Europe, includes on-board fueling systems and services, as well as gas containment solutions and services for storage, transport and distribution of industrial gases.  It includes high pressure and acetylene cylinders for life support cylinders and alternative fuel cylinders used to hold compressed natural gas (CNG) and hydrogen for automobiles, buses, and light-duty trucks.

Other:  Divested businesses historically reported within Pressure Cylinders but no longer included in the Company’s management structure are presented within the “Other” category, on a historical basis, through the date of disposal.  For the periods presented, these include the following:  Structural Composites Industries, LLC (until March 2021); Oil & Gas Equipment (until January 2021); and Cryogenic Storage and Cryo-Science (until October 2020). The Other category also includes the results of our former Engineered Cabs operating segment, on a historical basis, through the date of disposition (November 1, 2019) as well as certain income and expense items not allocated to our operating segments.

Prior period financial information has been revised to reflect the operating results and financial position of the new reportable operating segments. Historical financial information presented herein reflects this change.

Concurrent with the change in management structure described above, the profit measure that the Company’s CODM uses to assess segment performance and allocate resources was changed from operating income to adjusted earnings (loss) before interest and taxes (“adjusted EBIT”).  In general, adjusted EBIT excludes 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. Adjusted EBIT is a non-GAAP measure and is used by management to evaluate segment performance, engage in financial and operational planning and determine incentive compensation because theywe believe that this measure provides additional perspective and, in some circumstances is more closely correlated to, the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations.

For the periods presented, equity income from our unconsolidated joint ventures is included in the measurement of segment profit as shown in the table below.  The related investment balances are included in segment net assets in the same manner.

NOTE Q – Acquisitions

Tempel Steel Company

On December 1, 2021, the Company’s Steel Processing reportable operating segment completed its acquisition of Tempel Steel Company (“Tempel”), a leading global manufacturer of precision motor and transformer laminations for the electrical steel market that includes transformers, machine motors and electric vehicle (EV) motors for cash consideration of $289,609,000, plus the assumption of certain long-term liabilities.  The acquisition was funded primarily with cash on hand and some borrowing from the Company’s Credit Facility.  Total acquisition-related expenses were $1,924,000.

The information included herein has been based on the preliminary allocation of the purchase price using estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired.  The purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment until all pertinent information regarding the assets acquired is fully evaluated by the Company, including but not limited to, the fair value accounting.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their estimated acquisition-date fair values, with goodwill representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired.  In connection with the acquisition of Tempel, the Company identified and valued the following intangible assets:

The purchase price includes the fair values of other assets that were not identifiable, not separately recognizable under accounting rules (e.g., assembled workforce) or of immaterial value.  The purchase price also includes strategic and synergistic benefits (investment value) specific to us, which resulted in a purchase price in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets.  This additional investment value resulted in goodwill which is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.  The purchase price was allocated as follows:

Includes approximately $40,000,000 of net pension and other postretirement benefit obligations assumed as part of the Tempel acquisition.  The excess of projected benefit obligation over the fair value of plans assets was recognized as a liability in accordance with ASC 715 using key inputs including, but not limited to, discount rates and expected rates of return on plan assets.

Operating results of Tempel have been included in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings since December 1, 2021, the date of acquisition.  During the three months ended February 28, 2022, Tempel contributed net sales of $129,463,000 and operating income of $1,844,000, which included acquisition-related costs of approximately $1,200,000 and incremental cost of goods sold of $3,820,000 due to the write-up of inventory to its estimated acquisition-date fair value.

The following unaudited pro forma information presents consolidated financial information as if Tempel had been acquired at the beginning of fiscal 2021.  Depreciation and amortization expense included in the pro forma results reflect the preliminary acquisition-date fair values assigned to the definite-lived intangible assets and fixed assets of Tempel assuming a June 1, 2020 acquisition date.  Adjustments have been made to remove acquisition-related costs and the acquisition date fair value adjustment to acquired inventories.  The pro forma adjustments noted above have been adjusted for the applicable income tax impact.  The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place on June 1, 2020.

NOTE P – Acquisitions

Shiloh IndustriesIndustries’ U.S. BlankLight®

 

On June 8, 2021, the Company’s Steel Processing reportable operating segment, along with the Company’s 55% consolidated joint venture TWB Company, L.L.C. (“TWB”), acquired certain assets of the Shiloh IndustriesIndustries’ U.S. BlankLight® business (“Shiloh”), a provider of laser welded solutions. The purchase price for the acquisition was cash consideration of approximately $104,750,000, subject to closing adjustments.  The Shiloh business is being primarily operated by TWB and as part of the Steel Processing segment and its operating results have been included in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings since the date of acquisition.  Proforma results, including the acquired business since the beginning of fiscal 2021, would not be materially different than the reported results.  

 

The acquisition consisted of 3 laser welding facilities that are being operated as part of our TWB joint venture and 1 blanking facility that is operated as part of our core steel processingSteel Processing operations. Approximately $22,000,000$20,000,000 of the total goodwill relates to TWB, which will be treated as a separate reporting unit for purposes of goodwill impairment testing going forward.

 

The information included herein has been based on the preliminary allocation of the purchase price using estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired.  The purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment until all pertinent information regarding the assets acquired is fully evaluated by the Company, including but not limited to, the fair value accounting.

 

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their estimated acquisition-date fair values, with goodwill representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired.  In connection with the acquisition of Shiloh, the Company identified and valued the following intangible assets:

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred and the estimated fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.  These amounts reflect various preliminary fair value estimates and assumptions, including preliminary work performed by a third-party valuation specialist, and are subject to change within the measurement period as the valuation ifis finalized.  The primary areas of preliminary purchase price allocation subject to change relate to the valuation of acquired tangible assets and liabilities, identification and valuation of residual goodwill and tax effects of acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

NOTE QR – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We utilize derivative financial instruments to primarily manage exposure to certain risks related to our ongoing operations.  The primary risks managed through the use of derivative instruments include interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk.  While certain of our derivative instruments are designated as hedging instruments, we also enter into derivative instruments that are designed to hedge a risk, but are not designated as hedging instruments and, therefore, do not qualify for hedge accounting.  These derivative instruments are adjusted to current fair value through earnings (loss) at the end of each period.

Interest Rate Risk Management – We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes.  Our objective is to manage the impact of interest rate changes on cash flows and the market value of our borrowings.  We utilize a mix of debt maturities along with both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to manage changes in interest rates.  In addition, we enter into interest rate swaps and treasury locks to further manage our exposure to interest rate variations related to our borrowings and to lower our overall borrowing costs.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk Management – We conduct business in several major international currencies and are, therefore, subject to risks associated with changing foreign currency exchange rates.  We enter into various contracts that change in value as foreign currency exchange rates change to manage this exposure.  Such contracts limit exposure to both favorable and unfavorable currency exchange rate fluctuations.  The translation of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars also subjects us to exposure related to fluctuating currency exchange rates; however, derivative instruments are not used to manage this risk.

Commodity Price Risk Management – We are exposed to changes in the price of certain commodities, including steel, natural gas, zinc and other raw materials, and our utility requirements.  Our objective is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with forecasted purchases and sales of these commodities to allow management to focus its attention on business operations.  Accordingly, we enter into derivative contracts to manage the associated price risk.

We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative instruments.  Accordingly, we have established and maintain strict counterparty credit guidelines. We have credit support agreements in place with certain counterparties to limit our credit exposure.  These agreements require either party to post cash collateral if its cumulative market position exceeds a predefined liability threshold.  Amounts posted to the margin accounts accrue interest at market rates and are required to be refunded in the period in which the cumulative market position falls below the required threshold.  We do not have significant exposure to any one counterparty, and management believes the overall risk of loss is remote and, in any event, would not be material.


Refer to "NOTE RS – Fair Value" for additional information regarding the accounting treatment for our derivative instruments, as well as how fair value is determined.

The following table summarizes the fair value of our derivative instruments and the respective lines in which they were recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at August 31, 2021:February 28, 2022:

Cash Flow Hedges

We enter into derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to commodity price fluctuations associated with certain forecasted transactions.  These derivative instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges.  The


earnings effects of these derivative instruments are presented in the same statement of earnings line items as the earnings effects of the hedged items.  For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, the Company assesses hedge effectiveness both at the onset of the hedge and at regular intervals throughout the life of the derivative instrument.instruments.

The estimated net amount of the gainslosses recognized in AOCI at August 31, 2021February 28, 2022 expected to be reclassified into net earnings within the succeeding twelve months is $58,280,000$12,970,000 (net of tax of $18,219,000)$4,463,000).  This amount was computed using the fair value of the cash flow hedges at August 31, 2021,February 28, 2022, and will change before actual reclassification from OCI to net earnings during the fiscal years ending May 31, 20212022 and May 31, 2022.2023.

Economic (Non-designated) Hedges

We enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to manage our foreign currency exchange rate exposure related to inter-company and financing transactions that do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting treatment.  We also enter into certain commodity contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.  Accordingly, these derivative instruments are adjusted to current market value at the end of each period through earnings.earnings (loss).

NOTE RS – Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Fair value is an exit price concept that assumes an orderly transaction between willing market participants and is required to be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.  Current accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy as a basis for considering such assumptions and for classifying the inputs used in the valuation methodologies.  This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  The three levels of inputs used to measure fair values are as follows:

Level 1 – Observable prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

Item 2. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Selected statements contained in this “Item 2. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” constitute “forward-looking statements” as that term is used in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are based, in whole or in part, on management’s beliefs, estimates, assumptions and currently available information. For a more detailed discussion of what constitutes a forward-looking statement and of some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements, please refer to the “Safe Harbor Statement” in the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) and “Part I – Item 1A. – Risk Factors” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”) of Worthington Industries, Inc. (the “Form 10-K”).

Unless otherwise indicated, all Note references contained in this Part I – Item 2. refer to the Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Part I – Item 1. – Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q.

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis of market and industry trends, business developments, and the results of operations and financial position of Worthington Industries, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “our,” “Worthington,” or the “Company”), should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in “Part I – Item 1. – Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  The Form 10-K includes additional information about Worthington, our operations and our consolidated financial position and should be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q.

Our operations are managed principally on a products and services basis.  Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our management reviews financial information for operational decision-making purposes. Factors used to identify reportable operating segments include the nature of the products and services provided by each business, the management reporting structure, the similarity of economic characteristics and certain quantitative measures, as prescribed by authoritative accounting guidance.  

Effective June 1, 2021, we reorganized the management structure of our Pressure Cylinders business was reorganized to better align around theits end markets which it serves.markets.  As a result, these operations have been redefined under three new reportable operating segments: Consumer Products, Building Products and Sustainable Energy Solutions. These new reportable segments are in addition to our Steel Processing operating segment.  Concurrent with the change in reportable operating segments, we revised our prior period financial information to reflect comparable information for the new segment structure.  A discussion of each of these new reportable operating segments is included below:


 

Reportable Segments

Description

Consumer Products

The Consumer Products reportable segment is comprised of brands that offer market-leading products in the tools, outdoor living and celebrations end markets with brands that include Coleman®, Bernzomatic®, Balloon Time®, Mag Torch®, General®, Garden-Weasel®, Pactool International®, Hawkeye™ and Hawkeye™Worthington Pro Grade™.  This market sector includes propane-filled cylinders for torches, camping stoves and other applications, certain propane gas (LPG) cylinders, hand-held torches, Balloon Time® helium-filled balloon kits, and specialized hand tools and instruments.  These products are sold primarily to mass merchandisers, retailers and distributors. LPG cylinders, which hold fuel for barbeque grills and recreational vehicle equipment, are also sold through cylinder exchangers.

Building Products

The Building Products reportable segment includes refrigerant and LPG cylinders, well water and expansion tanks, and other specialty products. Cylinders in this market sector are generally sold to gas producers, and distributors. Refrigerant gas cylinders are used to hold refrigerant gases for commercial, residential, and automotive air conditioning and refrigeration systems. LPG cylinders hold fuel for residential and light commercial heating systems, industrial forklifts and commercial/residential cooking (the latter, generally outside North America).Well. Well water tanks and expansion tanks are used in the residential market with the latter also sold into commercial markets. Specialty products include a variety of fire suppression and chemical tanks.

Sustainable Energy Solutions

The Sustainable Energy Solutions reportable segment, which is primarily based in Europe, includes on-board fueling systems and services, as well as gas containment solutions and services for storage, transport and distribution of industrial gases.  It includes high pressure and acetylene cylinders for life support cylinders and alternative fuel cylinders used to hold compressed natural gas (CNG) and hydrogen for automobiles, buses, and light-duty trucks.

Other

Divested businesses historically reported within Pressure Cylinders but no longer included in the Company’s management structure are presented within the "Other" category, on a historical basis, through the date of disposal.  For the periods presented, these include the following:  Structural Composites Industries, LLC (until March 2021); Oil & Gas Equipment (until January 2021); and Cryogenic Storage and Cryo-Science (until October 2020). The Other category also includes the results of our former Engineered Cabs operating segment, on a historical basis, through the date of disposition (November 1, 2019) as well as certain income and expense items not allocated to our operating segments.

As of August 31, 2021,February 28, 2022, we held equity positions in nine joint ventures.  Four of these joint ventures are consolidated within the Steel Processing segment with the equity owned by the other joint venture member(s) shown as noncontrolling interests in our consolidated balance sheets, and their portions of net earnings and other comprehensive income shown as net earnings or comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statements of earnings and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, respectively.  The remaining five of our joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.

Market & Industry Overview

We sell our products and services to a diverse customer base and a broad range of end markets.  The breakdown of net sales by end market for the firstthird quarter of each of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 is illustrated in the following chart:

The automotive industry is one of the largest consumers of flat-rolled steel, and thus the largest end market for our Steel Processing operating segment.  Approximately 53%49% of Steel Processing’s net sales are to the automotive market.  North American vehicle production, primarily by Ford, General Motors and Stellantis (the “Detroit Three automakers”), has a considerable impact on the activity within this operating segment.  The majority of the net sales of two of our unconsolidated joint ventures, Serviacero Worthington and ArtiFlex, are also to the automotive market.

Approximately 19%16% of the net sales of our Steel Processing operating segment are to the construction market.  The construction market is also the predominant end market for two of our unconsolidated joint ventures: WAVE and ClarkDietrich.  While the market price of steel significantly impacts these businesses, there are other key indicators that are meaningful in analyzing construction market demand, including U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”), the Dodge Index of construction contracts and, in the case of ClarkDietrich, trends in the relative price of framing lumber and steel.

Substantially all of the net sales of our Consumer Products, Building Products, and Sustainable Energy Solutions operating segments, and approximately 28%35% of the net sales of our Steel Processing operating segment, are to other markets such as agricultural, appliance, consumer products, heavy truck, industrial products, lawn and garden, and sustainable energy.  Given the many different products that make up these net sales and the wide variety of end markets, it is very difficult to detail the key market indicators that drive these portions of our business.  However, we believe that the trend in U.S. GDP growth is a good economic indicator for analyzing the demand of these end markets.

We use the following information to monitor our costs and demand in our major end markets:

U.S. GDP growth rate trends are generally indicative of the strength in demand and, in many cases, pricing for our products.  A year-over-year increase in U.S. GDP growth rates is indicative of a stronger economy, which generally increases demand and pricing for our products.  Conversely, decreasing U.S. GDP growth rates generally indicate a weaker economy.  Changes in U.S. GDP growth rates can also signal changes in conversion costs related to production and in selling, general and administrative expense.

The market price of hot-rolled steel is one of the most significant factors impacting our selling prices and operating results.  When steel prices fall, we typically have higher-priced material flowing through cost of goods sold, while selling prices compress to what the market will bear, negatively impacting our results.  On the other hand, in a rising price environment, our results are generally favorably impacted, as lower-priced material purchased in previous periods flows through cost of goods sold, while our selling prices increase at a faster pace to cover current replacement costs.  Based on currentthe recent decline in steel pricing,prices, we expect to have meaningful inventory holding gainslosses in the secondfourth quarter of fiscal 2022.

The following table presents the average quarterly market price per ton of hot-rolled steel during fiscal 2022 (first quarter)and second quarters), fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020:

CRU Hot-Rolled Index,Index; period average

Sales to one Steel Processing customer in the automotive industry represented 13.8%12.7% and 11.4%11.0% of consolidated net sales during the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, respectively.  While our automotive business is largely driven by the production schedules of the Detroit Three automakers, our customer base is much broader and includes other domestic manufacturers and many of their suppliers.  During the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2022, vehicle production for the Detroit Three automakers was down 26%5% from the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2021, while North American vehicle production as a whole was down 14%8%.

Certain other commodities, such as zinc, natural gas and diesel fuel, represent a significant portion of our cost of goods sold, both directly through our plant operations and indirectly through transportation and freight expense.

Steel Processing – Net sales almostmore than doubled over the prior year quarter to $822.8$1,052.6 million.  The increase in net sales was driven by higher average selling prices and, to a lesser extent, higher volume.the impact of acquisitions completed in fiscal 2022.  Overall volumes were down as automotive demand remained depressed due to COVID-19 related production issues and the on-going semi-conductor chip shortage.

 

 

Consumer Products – Net sales increased 10.6%41%, or $14.2$46.6 million, over the prior year quarter.  The increase was driven primarily by higher average selling prices and, to a lesser extent, higher volume, which benefited from the acquisitioninclusion of General Tools & Instruments Company LLC in(“GTI”) for the third quarter of fiscal 2021.full quarter.

 

 

Building Products – Net sales increased 30.2%38%, or $26.6$36.6 million, over the prior year quarter. The increase was driven by higher volume and a favorable product mix.Volume in the prior year quarter was at depressed levels due to the COVID-19 pandemic.average selling prices.

 

 

Sustainable Energy Solutions – Net sales decreased $2.4$1.1 million, or 8.5%3%, from the prior year quarter.  The decrease was driven by lower volume.volume, which was negatively impacted by the May 31, 2021 divestiture of the Liquified Petroleum Gas (“LPG”) business in Poland, as well as the ongoing semi-conductor chip shortage.

Impairment of long-lived assets totaled $3.1 million for the current period, due to charges within our consolidated Samuel joint venture to write down certain production equipment at the Twinsburg, Ohio, facility that was determined to be below fair market value.  There were no impairment charges recorded in the firstthird quarter of fiscal 2022. Impairment charges in the prior year quarter related primarily to the Company’s cryogenics business in Theodore, Alabama, which was divested in October 2021.

 

 

Restructuring activity during the three months ended August 31, 2021,February 28, 2022 related primarily to a $0.7 million gain recognized on the divestituresale of our Wooster, Ohio facility.  Restructuring activity in the prior year quarter primarily resulted from a pre-tax loss within the historical Pressure Cylinders segment in connection with the sale of the WSP joint venture’s facility in Canton, Michigan, which generated a pre-tax gain of $12.1 million within restructuring and other (income) expense, net.former oil & gas equipment business.

 

 

Incremental expenses related to Nikola gains of $49.5$0.8 million in the prior year quarter consisted of $28.9 million ofa net reduction in accrued discretionary profit sharing and bonus expenses directly related to the Nikola gains and $20.6 million for the contribution of 500,000 shares of Nikola common stock to the Worthington Industries Foundation.Company’s investment in Nikola.

Adjusted EBIT

We evaluate segment performance based on adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“adjusted EBIT”).  In general, adjusted EBIT excludes 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.  Adjusted EBIT is a non-GAAP measure and is used by management to evaluate segment performance, engage in financial and operational planning and determine incentive compensation because it believeswe believe that this measure provides additional perspective and, in some circumstances is more closely correlated to, the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations. Refer to “Note ONOTE P – Segment Operations” for additional information regarding our reportable operating segments.  

The following table provides a reconciliation of consolidated net earnings (loss) attributable to controlling interest to adjusted EBIT for the periods presented:

Steel Processing – Adjusted EBIT of $107.7was down $54.7 million was up $93.5 million, as operating income increased $86.3 million after adjusting forover the impact of restructuring in both the current and prior year quarters.  The increase resulted primarily from improved direct spreads, which benefited from significant pre-taxquarter to $7.1 million due to inventory holding gains and arbitrage opportunities during the current quarter.  Inventory holding gains werelosses, estimated to be $47.1$24.9 million in the current quarter compared to a pre-tax inventory holding lossgains of $6.8$31.1 million in the prior


year quarter.  Adjusted EBIT in the currentCurrent quarter also benefited from higher equityinventory losses included a pre-tax charge of $15.7 million to write inventory down to net realizable value.  Equity earnings at Serviacero Worthington,of $4.7 million were up $8.0 millionslightly over the prior year quarter on the impact of higher steel prices.improved spreads.  The mix of direct tons versus toll tons processed was unchanged at51% to 49% in the current quarter, compared to 51%.48% to 52% in the prior year quarter.

 

 

Consumer Products – Adjusted EBIT of $20.6was up $12.1 million was down $3.3 million fromover the prior year quarter due to an increase in allocated corporate profit sharing$26.7 million on the combined impact of higher average selling prices and bonus expense and to a lesser compressed margin resulting from higher input costs.volume, which were partially offset by higher wages.

 

 

Building Products – Adjusted EBIT of $48.7$49.6 million was $25.3$22.3 million more than the prior quarter, due to higher equity earnings at ClarkDietrich, up $15.5 million, and an increase in operating income, up $7.9 million on the favorable impact of higher average selling prices, partially offset by higher wages and freight costs.

Sustainable Energy Solutions – Adjusted EBIT was a loss of $2.8 million compared to income of $0.1 million in the prior year quarter, as the combined impact of higher production costs and unfavorable mix more than offset the favorable impact of higher average selling prices.  Both volume and mix in the current quarter were negatively impacted by the ongoing semi-conductor chip shortage.  This business continues to evolve as it transitions to serve the global hydrogen ecosystem and adjacent sustainable energies.

Steel Processing – Net sales increased $1.4 billion over the prior year period to $2,8 billion. The increase was driven by higher average selling prices, and, to a lesser extent, the impact of acquisitions completed in fiscal 2022.

Consumer Products – Net sales increased 23%, or $84.1 million, over the prior year period.  The increase was driven by higher average selling prices and higher volume driven largely by the acquisition of GTI in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Building Products – Net sales increased 33%, or $90.5 million, over the prior year period. The increase was driven by higher average selling prices and to a lesser extent higher volume, which were at depressed levels in the prior year period due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sustainable Energy Solutions – Net sales decreased $4.4 million, or 5%, from the prior year period.  The decrease was driven primarily by lower volume, which was negatively impacted by the May 31, 2021 divestiture of the LPG business in Poland as well as the ongoing semi-conductor chip shortage.

Impairment of long-lived assets totaled $3.1 million for the current period, due to charges within our consolidated Samuel joint venture to write down certain production equipment at the Twinsburg, Ohio, facility that was determined to be below fair market value. Impairment charges in the prior year period related primarily to charges in our historical Pressure Cylinders segment of $8.0 million to write-down certain assets in the cryogenics business and $3.8 million to write-down certain assets in the oil & gas business.

Restructuring activity during the nine months ended February 28, 2022, related primarily to the divestiture of the WSP joint venture’s facility in Canton, Michigan, which generated a pre-tax gain of $12.2 million and our exit from the former Engineered Cabs facility located in Stow, Ohio, which generated a pre-tax gain of $1.8 million.  Restructuring activity in the prior year period consisted primarily of losses from the sale of the Company’s former cryogenics and oil & gas equipment businesses.

Incremental expenses related to Nikola gains of $53.3 million consisted of $32.7 million of discretionary profit sharing and bonus expenses directly related to the Nikola gains and $20.6 million for the contribution of 500,000 shares of Nikola common stock to the Worthington Industries Foundation.

We believe we have access to adequate resourcesthat the available borrowing capacity of our committed line of credit is sufficient to meet the needs of our existing businesses for normal operating costs, mandatory capital expenditures, debt redemptions, dividend payments, and working capital, to the extent not funded by cash provided by operating activities.    These resources include cash and cash equivalents and unused committed lines of credit.  These committed lines of credit had a total of $500.0 million of borrowing capacity available to be drawn as of August 31, 2021.  

 

Although we do not currently anticipate a need, we also believe that we could access the financial markets to be in a position to sell long-term debt or equity securities.securities to strengthen our liquidity or capital resources.  However, the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain issues, labor shortages and other national and global economic conditions, could create uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets which may impact our ability to access capital and the terms under which we can do so.  As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our operations is fluid and evolving, we will continue to review our discretionary spending and other variable costs as well as our liquidity needs.

We routinely monitor current operational requirements, financial market conditions, and credit relationships and we may choose to seek additional capital by issuing new debt and/or equity securities to strengthen our liquidity or capital structure.  However, should we seek additional capital, there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain such additional capital on terms acceptable to us, if at all, and such debt financing or additional equity could increase our interest cost and/or debt financing could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders and/or increase our interest costs.shareholders.

Operating Activities

Our business is cyclical and cash flows from operating activities may fluctuate during the year and from year to year due to economic and industry conditions.  We rely on cash and short-term borrowings to meet cyclical increases in working capital needs.  These needs generally rise during periods of increased economic activity or increasing raw material prices, requiring higher levels of inventory and accounts receivable.  During economic slowdowns, or periods of decreasing raw material costs, working capital needs generally decrease as a result of the reduction of inventories and accounts receivable.

Net cash used by operating activities was $49.8$94.7 million during the threenine months ended August 31, 2021,February 28, 2022, a decreasedifference of $167.2$328.8 million from the net cash provided by operating activities in the prior year quarter.  The decreaseperiod.  This change was driven primarily by higherdue to a $374.6 million increase in operating working capital levels in(accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable) requirements over the current quarter due toprior year-to-date period, mainly driven by higher average steel prices.

Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities was $102.0$413.2 million during the threenine months ended August 31, 2021February 28, 2022 compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $455.0$459.9 million in the prior year quarter.period.  Net cash provided by investing activities in the prior year quarterperiod resulted primarily from proceeds from the sale of Nikola shares which totaled $487.9$634.4 million.  Net cash used by investing activities in the current quarteryear period resulted primarily from the purchase of certain assets of the Shiloh IndustriesIndustries’ U.S BlankLight ® business on June 8, 2021, for $104.8 million and Tempel Steel Company on December 1, 2021 for $272.5 million.  Capital expenditures in the current quarteryear period totaled $23.9$71.8 million, a decreasean increase of $8.9$6.5 million from the prior year quarter.period.

Investment activities are largely discretionary, and future investment activities could be reduced significantly, or eliminated, as economic conditions warrant.  We assess acquisition opportunities as they arise, and such opportunities may require additional


financing.  There can be no assurance, however, that any such opportunities will arise, that any such acquisition opportunities will be consummated, or that any needed additional financing will be available on satisfactory terms if required.


Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities was $89.3$88.1 million during the threenine months ended August 31, 2021February 28, 2022 compared to $69.5$191.7 million in the prior year quarter.period. During the threenine months ended August 31, 2021,February 28, 2022, Worthington Industries, Inc. paid $60.9$127.8 million to repurchase 1,000,0002,235,000 of Worthington Industries, Inc.’s common shares, paid dividends of $43.4 million on Worthington Industries, Inc.’s common shares, and borrowed $104.0 million under its revolving credit facility. During the nine months ended February 28, 2021, we paid $145.3 million to repurchase 3,318,464 of Worthington Industries, Inc.’s common shares and paid dividends of $14.7 million on Worthington Industries, Inc.’s common shares.

Long-term debt and short-term borrowingsAs of August 31, 2021,February 28, 2022, we were in compliance with our short-term and long-term financial debt covenants.  Our debt agreements do not include credit rating triggers or material adverse change provisions.  Our credit ratings at August 31, 2021February 28, 2022 were unchanged from those reported as of May 31, 2021.  Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility totaled $104,000,000 at February 28, 2022, leaving $396,000,000 available for future use.

Dividend Policy

We currently have no material contractual or regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends.  Dividends are declared at the discretion of the Worthington Industries Board.  The Worthington Industries Board reviews the dividend quarterly and establishes the dividend rate based upon our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, current and projected cash flows, business prospects, and other relevant factors.  While we have paid a dividend every quarter since becoming a public company in 1968, there is no guarantee that payments will continue in the future.

Contractual Cash Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments

Our contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments have not materially changed from those disclosed in “Part II – Item 7. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Contractual Cash Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments” of the Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have guarantees or other off-balance sheet financing arrangements that we believe are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our consolidated financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.  

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to our valuation of receivables, inventories, intangible assets, accrued liabilities, income and other tax accruals, and contingencies and litigation.litigation, and business combinations. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that reflect our significant judgments and uncertainties that could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Although actual results historically have not deviated significantly from those determined using our estimates, our consolidated financial position or results of operations could be materially different if we were to report under different conditions or to use different assumptions in the application of such policies.  Our critical accounting


policies have not significantly changed from those discussed in “Part II – Item 7. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” of the Form 10-K.  


Item 3. – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risks have not materially changed from those disclosed in “Part II – Item 7A. – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of the Form 10-K.

Item 4. – Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures [as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)] that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the quarterly period ended August 31, 2021)February 28, 2022).  Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the quarterly period ended August 31, 2021)February 28, 2022) in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Various legal actions, which generally have arisen in the ordinary course of business, are pending against the Company.  None of this pending litigation, individually or collectively, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. – Risk Factors

There are certain risks and uncertainties in our business that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.  In “PART I – Item 1A. – Risk Factors” of the Form 10-K, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 30, 2021, and available at www.sec.gov or at www.worthingtonindustries.com, we included a detailed discussion of our risk factors.  Our risk factors have not changed significantly from those disclosed in the Form 10-K. These risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and in connection with the forward-looking statements and other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Any of the risks described in the Form 10-K could materially affect our business, consolidated financial condition or future results and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made.
