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:

• Outlook, strategy or business plans;

• future or expected growth, performance, sales, volumes, cash flows, earnings, balance sheet strengths, debt, financial condition or other financial measures;

• projected profitability potential, capacity, and working capital needs;

• demand trends for us or our markets;

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

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

• anticipated capital expenditures and asset sales;

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

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

• the alignment of operations with demand;

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

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

• expectations for Company and customer inventories, jobs and orders;

• expectations for the economy and markets or improvements therein;

• expected benefits from transformation plans, cost reduction efforts and other new initiatives;

• expectations for increasing volatility or improving and sustaining 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 effect of national, regional and worldwide economic conditions generally and within major product markets, including a prolonged or substantial economic downturn;

• the effect of legislation or regulations relating to the United States debt and budget, which may be adverse due to its impact on tax increases, governmental spending, customer confidence and spending, and the overall economy;

• the effect of conditions in national and worldwide financial markets;

• 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;

• effects of facility closures and the consolidation of operations;

• the effect of financial difficulties, consolidation and other changes within the steel, automotive, 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 other cost savings and operational, sales and sourcing improvements and efficiencies, and other expected benefits from transformation initiatives, on a timely basis;

ii

• 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 industry 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, acts of war or terrorist activities 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, foreign currency exposure and the lack of acceptance of our products;

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

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

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

• level of imports and import prices in our markets;

• the impact of the outcome of judicial and governmental agency rulings as well as the impact of 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 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010;

• the effect of changes to healthcare laws in the United States, which may increase our healthcare and other costs and negatively impact our financial results and operations; and

• other risks described from time to time in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described in “PART I – Item 1A. — Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013.

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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE A – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited 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 are eliminated.

Worthington Aritas Basincli Kaplar Sanayi A.S. (“Worthington Aritas”), Spartan Steel Coating, LLC (“Spartan”), TWB Company, L.L.C. (“TWB”), Worthington Energy Innovations, LLC (“WEI”), and Worthington Nitin Cylinders Limited (“WNCL”) in which we own controlling interests of 75%, 52%, 55%, 75%, and 60%, respectively, are consolidated with the equity owned by the other joint venture members shown as noncontrolling interest in our consolidated balance sheets, and the other joint venture members’ portion of net earnings and other comprehensive income shown as net earnings or comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statements of earnings and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, respectively. As more fully described in “NOTE N – Acquisitions”, on July 31, 2013, we purchased an additional 10% interest in TWB for $17,869,000, increasing our ownership to a 55% controlling interest. As a result, TWB’s results have been consolidated within the Steel Processing operating segment since the acquisition date.

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 Securities and Exchange Commission (“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 results of operations of these interim periods, have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2014 (“fiscal 2014”). 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, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”) of Worthington Industries, Inc. (the “2013 Form 10-K”).

The preparation of 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.

Joint Venture Transactions

On March 1, 2011, we joined with ClarkWestern Building Systems Inc. to form Clarkwestern Dietrich Building Systems LLC (“ClarkDietrich”), a joint venture that manufactures a full line of drywall studs and accessories, structural studs and joists, metal lath and accessories, and shaft wall studs and track used primarily in residential and commercial construction. We contributed our metal framing business and related working capital in exchange for a 25% ownership interest in ClarkDietrich. As we do not have a controlling interest in ClarkDietrich, our investment in this joint venture is accounted for under the equity method, and the contributed net assets were deconsolidated effective March 1, 2011.

We retained and continued to operate the remaining metal framing facilities (the “retained facilities”), on a short-term basis, to support the transition of the business into ClarkDietrich. The buildings and equipment associated with the majority of these facilities were sold during fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012. The remaining facilities are expected to be sold during fiscal 2014 and actions to locate buyers are ongoing. As the other relevant criteria for classification as assets held for sale have been satisfied, the $2,435,000 carrying value of these asset groups, which consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, is presented separately in our consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2014.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2011, new accounting guidance was issued that establishes certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivatives instruments that are subject to netting arrangements. The new disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those periods. We adopted this new guidance on June 1, 2013, and have provided the required disclosures in “NOTE O – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

In June 2011, new accounting guidance was issued regarding the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This new guidance requires entities to present reclassification adjustments included in other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements and allows entities to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. It also eliminates the option for entities to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. For public companies, this accounting guidance was effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those fiscal years) beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application to prior periods is required. We adopted the effective provisions of this new accounting guidance on June 1, 2012 and have provided the required statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013. In December 2011, certain provisions of this new guidance related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income were temporarily deferred. In February 2013, an effective date was established for the provisions that had been deferred. These provisions are effective prospectively for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2012. We adopted the deferred provisions, which relate to presentation only, on June 1, 2013 and have provided the required disclosures in “NOTE H – Comprehensive Income.” There was no impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In July 2012, amended accounting guidance was issued that simplifies how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amended guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative test unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this amended accounting guidance on June 1, 2013, did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In March 2013, amended accounting guidance was issued regarding the accounting for cumulative translation adjustment. The amended guidance specifies that a cumulative translation adjustment should be released into earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or a group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. For sales of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment attributable to the investment would be recognized in earnings upon sale of the investment. The amended guidance is effective prospectively for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this amended accounting guidance to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE B – Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

At February 28, 2014, equity investments and the percentage interests owned consisted of the following (in alphabetic order): ArtiFlex Manufacturing, LLC (“ArtiFlex”) (50%), ClarkDietrich (25%), Samuel Steel Pickling Company (31.25%), Serviacero Planos, S. de R. L. de C.V. (“Serviacero”) (50%), Worthington Armstrong Venture (“WAVE”) (50%), Worthington Modern Steel Framing Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“WMSFMCo.”) (40%), and Worthington Specialty Processing (“WSP”) (51%). WSP is considered to be jointly controlled and not consolidated due to substantive participating rights of the minority partner.

On July 31, 2013, we acquired an additional 10% interest in our laser welded blanks joint venture, TWB, increasing our ownership to a 55% controlling interest. Since that date, TWB’s results have been consolidated within Steel Processing versus reported in equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates. For additional information, refer to “NOTE N – Acquisitions.”

On October 18, 2013, we finalized an agreement with Nisshin Steel Co., Ltd. and Marubeni-Itochu Steel Inc. to form Zhejiang Nisshin Worthington Precision Specialty Steel Co., Ltd., which is awaiting regulatory approval. Initially, we will own a 10% interest in the joint venture with the option to increase our ownership interest to 34%. The joint venture will construct a plant in Zhejiang Province in the People’s Republic of China that will produce cold rolled strip steel primarily for the automotive industry.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we dissolved our wind tower joint venture, Gestamp Worthington Wind Steel, LLC, due to the volatile political environment in the United States, particularly in regards to the Federal Production Tax Credit. This event did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

We received distributions from unconsolidated affiliates totaling $70,073,000 during the nine months ended February 28, 2014. We have received cumulative distributions from WAVE in excess of our investment balance totaling $62,387,000 and $63,187,000 at February 28, 2014 and May 31, 2013, respectively. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, these excess distributions are reclassified 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 it becomes positive, it will again be shown as an asset on our consolidated balance sheet. If it becomes obvious that any excess distribution may not be returned (upon joint venture liquidation or otherwise), we will recognize any 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 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. During the nine months ended February 28, 2014, we received excess distributions from ClarkDietrich of $9,223,000.

Combined financial information for our unconsolidated affiliates is summarized as follows:

The fluctuations in the financial information presented in the tables above were driven primarily by the consolidation of TWB effective July 31, 2013.

NOTE C – Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we committed to a re-branding initiative. Under the re-branding initiative, we re-branded substantially all of our businesses under the Worthington Industries name. In connection with the change in branding strategy, we discontinued the use of all non-Worthington trade names except those related to retail products such as BernzOmatic^® and Balloon Time^® and those related to our joint ventures. As a result, we determined an impairment indicator was present with regard to the trade name intangible assets impacted by the re-branding initiative. As no future cash flows will be attributed to the impacted trade names, the entire book value was written-off, resulting in an impairment charge of $30,734,000. The impairment charge was recorded within the impairment of long-lived assets financial statement caption in our consolidated statement of earnings for the nine months ended February 28, 2014. Fair value was determined using unobservable (Level 3) inputs.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we determined that certain indicators of impairment were present with regard to certain non-core Steel Processing assets. Recoverability of the identified asset group was tested using future cash flow projections based on management’s estimate of market conditions. The sum of these undiscounted future cash flows was less than the net book value of the asset group. The net book value was also determined to be in excess of fair value and, accordingly, the asset group was written down to its fair value of $11,827,000, resulting in an impairment charge of $4,641,000. The impairment charge was recorded within the impairment of long-lived assets financial statement caption in our consolidated statement of earnings for the nine months ended February 28, 2014. Fair value was determined based on market prices for similar assets.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, our Pressure Cylinders operations in Czech Republic met the applicable criteria for classification as assets held for sale. The net book value of this asset group was determined to be in excess of fair value, and, as a result, this asset group was written down to its fair value less cost to sell, or $6,934,000, resulting in an impairment charge of $1,570,000. Fair value was determined based on market prices for similar assets. On October 31, 2012, we completed the sale of this asset group to an unrelated third party resulting in a gain of approximately $50,000. The net impact of these items of $1,520,000 is presented within the impairment of long-lived assets financial statement caption in our consolidated statement of earnings for the nine months ended February 28, 2013.

NOTE D – Restructuring and Other Expense (Income)

In fiscal 2008, we initiated a Transformation Plan (the “Transformation Plan”) with the overall goal to improve our sustainable earnings potential, asset utilization and operational performance. The Transformation Plan focuses on cost reduction, margin expansion and organizational capability improvements and, in the process, seeks to drive excellence in three core competencies: sales; operations; and supply chain management. The Transformation Plan is comprehensive in scope and includes aggressive diagnostic and implementation phases. When this process began, we retained a consulting firm to assist in the development and implementation of the Transformation Plan. As the Transformation Plan progressed, we formed internal teams dedicated to this effort, and they ultimately assumed full responsibility for executing the Transformation Plan. Although the consulting firm was again engaged as we rolled out the Transformation Plan in our Pressure Cylinders operating segment, most of the work is now being done by our internal teams. These internal teams are now an integral part of our business and constitute what we refer to as the Centers of Excellence (“COE”). The COE will continue to monitor the performance metrics and new processes instituted across our transformed operations and drive continuous improvements in all areas of our operations. The expenses related to the COE will be included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense going forward.

To date, we have completed the transformation phases in each of the core facilities within our Steel Processing operating segment, including the facilities of our Mexican joint venture, Serviacero. We also substantially completed the transformation phases at our metal framing facilities prior to their contribution to ClarkDietrich. Transformation efforts within our Pressure Cylinders and Engineered Cabs operating segments, which began during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal 2013, respectively, are ongoing.

A progression of the liabilities created as part of the Transformation Plan during the nine months ended February 28, 2014, combined with a reconciliation to the restructuring and other expense (income) financial statement caption in our consolidated statement of earnings is summarized as follows:

(in thousands)	Beginning Balance		Expense			Payments			Adjustments			Ending Balance
Early retirement and severance	$	5,029	$	5,672		$	(3,331	)	$	(81	)	$	7,289
Facility exit and other costs		1,200		2,182			(2,522	)		(126	)		734
	$	6,229		7,854		$	(5,853	)	$	(207	)	$	8,023
Net gain on sale of assets				(10,587	)
Less: joint venture transactions				(1,048	)
Restructuring and other expense			$	(3,781	)

During the nine months ended February 28, 2014, the following actions were taken in connection with the Transformation Plan:

• In connection with the wind-down of our former Metal Framing operating segment, we recognized $934,000 of facility exit and other costs and a loss of $114,000 related to the sale of certain retained assets. These costs were recognized within the joint venture transactions financial statement caption in our consolidated statements of earnings to correspond with amounts previously recognized in connection with the formation of ClarkDietrich and the subsequent wind-down of our former Metal Framing operating segment.

• In connection with the closure of our commercial stairs business, we incurred facility exit charges of $636,000.

• In connection with the consolidation of the BernzOmatic hand torch manufacturing operation in Medina, New York into the existing Pressure Cylinders’ facility in Chilton, Wisconsin, we recognized an additional accrual of $578,000 for expected employee severance costs and $370,000 of facility exit costs. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we recognized a $2,488,000 accrual for expected severance costs related to this matter.

• On June 30, 2013, the Company completed the sale of Integrated Terminals, its warehouse facility in Detroit, Michigan, for cash proceeds of $7,457,000, resulting in a gain of $4,762,000.

• On November 12, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the operating assets related to its steel high pressure and acetylene cylinders business in North America, resulting in a gain of $5,939,000. In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a $3,714,000 accrual for expected severance costs and incurred facility exit charges of $242,000.

• On December 10, 2013, the Company announced the closure of its Baltimore steel facility by the end of fiscal 2014. In connection with this matter, the Company recognized a $1,380,000 accrual for expected severance costs.

Approximately $7,238,000 of the total liability shown in the table above is expected to be paid in the next twelve months. The remaining liability, which consists of certain severance benefits, will be paid through September 2016.

NOTE E – Contingent Liabilities

On August 5, 2013, we tendered to our excess loss carrier, who accepted the tender, a wrongful death claim against the Company involving a MAPP gas cylinder. Pursuant to the tender and its acceptance, our overall exposure related to this matter is limited to $2,000,000. As a result, a pre-tax charge of $2,000,000 was recorded within SG&A expense during the nine months ended February 28, 2014.

We are defendants in certain legal actions. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these actions, which is not clearly determinable at the present time, would not significantly affect our consolidated financial position or future results of operations. We believe that environmental issues will not have a material effect on our capital expenditures, consolidated financial position or future results of operations.

Insurance Recoveries

On August 19, 2013, a fire occurred at our Pressure Cylinders facility in Kienberg, Austria, in the building that houses the massing process in the production of acetylene cylinders. The other portions of the Austrian facility were not damaged; however, the massing building sustained extensive damage and was rendered inoperable. We have incurred losses related to the destruction of assets caused by the fire. Additionally, we have incurred and will continue to incur incremental business interruption costs. The Company has business interruption and property damage insurance and, as a result, the fire did not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial results.

The Company has received proceeds of $2,900,000 for the property portion of the claim, representing advance payments for the replacement value of the damaged property and equipment. These proceeds were in excess of the $145,000 remaining book value of the assets, resulting in a gain of $2,755,000. This gain was recorded within miscellaneous income in our consolidated statement of earnings for the nine months ended February 28, 2014. We will continue to receive payments from the insurance company for the replacement value of the property and equipment throughout the rebuild process.

Total proceeds received related to the insurance claim since the date of loss were as follows:

(in thousands)
Property and equipment	$	2,900
Business interruption		1,628
Other expenses		673
Total insurance proceeds	$	5,201

The proceeds for business interruption relate to the loss of profits from the date of the fire through December 31, 2013, and have been recorded as a reduction of manufacturing expense. The proceeds for other expenses represent reimbursement for incremental expenses related to the fire and were recorded as an offset to manufacturing expense. Prior to quarter end, the Company received written confirmation of the amount of proceeds for estimated loss of profits from January 1, 2014 through February 28, 2014 from its insurer. Accordingly, the Company recognized an insurance recovery of $417,000 as a reduction of manufacturing expense.

NOTE F – Guarantees

We do not have guarantees that we believe are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. However, as of February 28, 2014, we were party to an operating lease for an aircraft in which we have guaranteed a residual value at the termination of the lease. The maximum obligation under the terms of this guarantee was approximately $13,199,000 at February 28, 2014. We have also guaranteed the repayment of a term loan entered into by one of our unconsolidated affiliates, ArtiFlex. As of February 28, 2014, the outstanding principal balance on the loan was $3,750,000. Based on current facts and circumstances, we have estimated the likelihood of payment pursuant to these guarantees, and determined that the fair value of our obligation under each guarantee based on those likely outcomes is not material and therefore no amounts have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements.

We also had in place $14,254,000 of outstanding stand-by letters of credit for third-party beneficiaries as of February 28, 2014. These letters of credit were issued to third-party service providers and had no amounts drawn against them at February 28, 2014. The fair value of these guarantee instruments, based on premiums paid, was not material, and therefore no amounts have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE G – Debt and Receivables Securitization

We have a $425,000,000 multi-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders that matures in May 2017. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility were $9,730,000 at February 28, 2014. Additionally, as discussed in “NOTE F – Guarantees,” we provided $14,254,000 in stand-by letters of credit for third-party beneficiaries as of February 28, 2014. While not drawn against, certain of these letters of credit totaling $11,732,000 are issued against availability under the Credit Facility, leaving $403,538,000 available at February 28, 2014.

10

Current borrowings under this revolving Credit Facility have maturities of less than one year, and given that we intend to repay them within the next year, they have been classified as short-term borrowings in our consolidated balance sheet. However, we can extend the term of amounts borrowed by renewing these borrowings for the term of the Credit Facility. We have the option to borrow at rates equal to an applicable margin over the LIBOR, Prime or Fed Funds rates. The applicable margin is determined by our credit rating. At February 28, 2014, the applicable variable rate, based on LIBOR, was 1.21%.

We also maintain a $100,000,000 revolving trade accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”), which expires in January 2015. The AR Facility has been available throughout fiscal 2014 to date, and was available throughout fiscal 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the AR Facility, certain of our subsidiaries sell their accounts receivable without recourse, on a revolving basis, to Worthington Receivables Corporation (“WRC”), a wholly-owned, consolidated, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. In turn, WRC may sell without recourse, on a revolving basis, up to $100,000,000 of undivided ownership interests in this pool of accounts receivable to a third-party bank. We retain an undivided interest in this pool and are subject to risk of loss based on the collectability of the receivables from this retained interest. Because the amount eligible to be sold excludes receivables more than 90 days past due, receivables offset by an allowance for doubtful accounts due to bankruptcy or other cause, concentrations over certain limits with specific customers and certain reserve amounts, we believe additional risk of loss is minimal. The book value of the retained portion of the pool of accounts receivable approximates fair value. As of February 28, 2014, the pool of eligible accounts receivable exceeded the $100,000,000 limit, and $20,000,000 of undivided ownership interests in this pool of accounts receivable had been sold.

The remaining balance of short-term borrowings at February 28, 2014 consisted of $554,000 outstanding under a $2,900,000 credit facility maintained by our consolidated affiliate, Worthington Aritas, that matures in April 2014 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.75%, and $5,072,000 outstanding under a $9,500,000 credit facility maintained by our consolidated affiliate, WNCL, that matures in November 2014 and bears interest at a variable rate. The applicable variable rate was 2.25% at February 28, 2014.

(a) The income statement classification of amounts reclassified to income for cash flow hedges is disclosed in “NOTE O – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

NOTE J – Stock-Based Compensation

Non-Qualified Stock Options

During the nine months ended February 28, 2014, we granted non-qualified stock options covering a total of 125,200 common shares under our stock-based compensation plans. The weighted average option price of $31.89 per share reflects the market price of the underlying common shares at the respective grant dates. The weighted average fair value of these stock options, based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, calculated at the grant date, was $12.92 per share. The calculated pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for these stock options, after an estimate for forfeitures, is $1,482,000, which will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period. The following assumptions were used to value these stock options:

Dividend yield	2.28	%
Expected volatility	52.23	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.69	%
Expected term (years)	6.0

12

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common shares and the risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury strip rate for the expected term of the stock options. The expected term was developed using historical exercise experience.

Restricted Common Shares

During the nine months ended February 28, 2014, we granted 370,340 restricted common shares under our stock-based compensation plans. The fair values of these restricted common shares were equal to the weighted average closing market prices of the underlying common shares on the dates of grant, or $32.99 per share. The calculated pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for these restricted common shares, after an estimate for forfeitures, is $10,971,000 and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period.

Market-Based Restricted Common Shares

During the nine months ended February 28, 2014, we granted 360,000 restricted common shares to certain key employees under our stock-based compensation plans. Vesting of these restricted common share awards is contingent upon the price of our common shares reaching $50.00 per share and remaining at or above that price for 30 consecutive days and the completion of a three-year service vesting period. The grant-date fair value of these restricted common shares, as determined by a Monte Carlo simulation model, was $24.19 per share. The Monte Carlo simulation model is a statistical technique that incorporates multiple assumptions to determine the probability that the market condition will be achieved. The following assumptions were used to determine the grant-date fair value and the derived service period for these restricted common shares:

Dividend yield	2.28	%
Expected volatility	53.40	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.41	%

The calculated pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for these restricted common shares was determined to be $8,708,000 and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year service vesting period.

NOTE K – Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 and February 28, 2013 reflected estimated annual effective income tax rates of 27.3% and 31.8%, respectively. The annual effective income tax rates exclude any impact from the inclusion of net earnings attributable to non-controlling interests in our consolidated statements of earnings. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest is primarily a result of our Spartan and TWB consolidated joint ventures. The earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Spartan and TWB’s U.S. operations do not generate tax expense to Worthington since the investors in Spartan and TWB’s U.S. operations are taxed directly based on the earnings attributable to them. Since the consolidation of TWB on July 31, 2013, 100% of the tax expense of TWB’s foreign operations has been included in the Company’s reported income tax expense for financial reporting purposes, and is therefore included in the estimated annual effective income tax rate. For additional information regarding the consolidation of TWB, refer to “NOTE N – Acquisitions.” 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 2014 could be materially different from the forecasted rate as of February 28, 2014.

NOTE M – Segment Operations

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we made certain organizational changes impacting the internal reporting and management structure of our Steel Packaging operating segment. As a result of these organizational changes, management responsibilities and internal reporting were realigned under our Steel Processing operating segment. Segment information reported in previous periods has been restated to conform to this new presentation.

Summarized financial information for our reportable segments is shown in the following table:

NOTE N – Acquisitions

TWB Company, LLC

On July 31, 2013, we purchased an additional 10% interest in our laser welded blanks joint venture, TWB, for $17,869,000, increasing our ownership to a 55% controlling interest. This transaction was accounted for as a step acquisition, which required that we re-measure our previously held 45% ownership interest to fair value and record the difference between fair value and carrying value as a gain in our consolidated statement of earnings. The re-measurement to fair value resulted in a non-cash pre-tax gain of $11,000,000, which is included in miscellaneous income in our consolidated statement of earnings for the nine months ended February 28, 2014. The acquired net assets became part of our Steel Processing operating segment upon closing.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their acquisition-date fair values. In connection with the acquisition of TWB, we identified and valued the following identifiable intangible assets:

(in thousands)			Useful Life
Category	Amount		(Years)
Customer relationships	$	17,438		5-6
Trade names		4,120		Indefinite
Non-compete agreement		470		5
Total acquired identifiable intangible assets	$	22,028

The estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed approximated the purchase price and therefore no goodwill was recognized.

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred for our 55% controlling interest in TWB and the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

(in thousands)
Consideration Transferred:
Cash consideration	$	17,869
Fair value of previously held interest in TWB		72,369
Total consideration	$	90,238
Estimated Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	70,826
Accounts receivable		52,012
Inventories		20,403
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		4,027
Intangible assets		22,028
Other noncurrent assets		103
Property, plant and equipment		52,390
Total identifiable assets		221,789
Accounts payable		(50,642	)
Accrued liabilities		(6,431	)
Deferred taxes		(2,109	)
Net assets		162,607
Noncontrolling interest		(72,369	)
Total consideration	$	90,238

The fair value of our previously held equity interest and the noncontrolling interest was derived using a market approach, and included a minority discount of 10% to reflect management’s estimate of the control premium.

Net sales of $213,252,000 and earnings before income taxes of $14,488,000 have been included in the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings from the acquisition date through the period ended February 28, 2014.

16

Proforma net sales of the combined entity had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2013 were $2,289,424,000 and $2,161,147,000 for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Pro forma earnings would not be materially different than reported results due to our 45% noncontrolling interest in TWB prior to the acquisition date

Aritas Basincli Kaplar Sanayi A.S.

On January 24, 2014, we acquired a 75% interest in Worthington Aritas, one of Europe’s leading LNG (liquefied natural gas) and cryogenic technology companies. The remaining 25% stake was retained by the prior owners. The total purchase price, after an adjustment for estimated final working capital, was $35,231,000. The purchase price also includes contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $310,000. The acquired net assets became part of our Pressure Cylinders operating segment upon closing. While the Company does not anticipate any changes to the initial accounting for this transaction, the allocation of the purchase price is not yet finalized and is subject to adjustment as we complete the valuation analysis.

The contingent consideration arrangement requires the Company to pay $2,000,000 of additional consideration to the former owners if earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) exceed $5,000,000 during any 12 consecutive months during the first 14 month period following the closing date. We determined the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration obligation using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on management’s projections of future EBITDA levels. Refer to “Note P – Fair Value” for additional information regarding the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligation.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their estimated acquisition-date fair values based on a preliminary valuation analysis, with goodwill representing the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. Based on the preliminary valuation analysis, we identified and valued the following identifiable intangible assets:

(in thousands)			Useful Life
Category	Amount		(Years)
Customer relationships	$	8,400		20
Technological know-how		8,100		20
Trade name		180		2
Non-compete agreements		120		3
Total acquired identifiable intangible assets	$	16,800

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 a going-concern element that represents our ability to earn a higher rate of return on this group of assets than would be expected on the separate assets as determined during the valuation process. This additional investment value resulted in goodwill, which is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

17

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred for Worthington Aritas and the estimated fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,037
Accounts receivable		3,326
Inventories		10,678
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		1,317
Intangible assets		16,800
Other noncurrent assets		1,099
Property, plant and equipment		5,467
Total identifiable assets		39,724
Accounts payable		(5,587	)
Short-term borrowings		(251	)
Accrued liabilities		(2,756	)
Other liabilities		(4,954	)
Deferred taxes		(2,787	)
Net identifiable assets		23,389
Goodwill		23,586
Net assets		46,975
Noncontrolling interest		(11,744	)
Total consideration	$	35,231

Operating results of Worthington Aritas have been included in our consolidated statements of earnings from the acquisition date, forward. Pro forma results, including the acquired business since the beginning of fiscal 2013, would not be materially different than reported results.

NOTE O – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We utilize derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to certain risks related to our ongoing operations. The primary risks managed through the use of derivative instruments include interest rate risk, currency exchange 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 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 to further manage our exposure to interest rate variations related to our borrowings and to lower our overall borrowing costs.

Currency Exchange Risk Management – We conduct business in several major international currencies and are therefore subject to risks associated with changing foreign exchange rates. We enter into various contracts that change in value as foreign exchange rates change to manage this exposure. Such contracts limit exposure to both favorable and unfavorable currency fluctuations. The translation of foreign currencies into United States dollars also subjects us to exposure related to fluctuating 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 instruments 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 and enter into derivative instruments only with major financial institutions. We do not have significant exposure to any one counterparty and management believes the risk of loss is remote and, in any event, would not be material.

Refer to “Note P – 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 financial statement caption in which they were recorded in our consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2014:

The amounts in the table above reflect the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts on a net basis. Had these amounts been recognized on a gross basis, the impact would have been a $740,000 increase in receivables with a corresponding increase in accounts payable.

Cash Flow Hedges

We enter into derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to interest rate and commodity price fluctuations associated with certain forecasted transactions. These derivative instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in earnings immediately.

The following table summarizes our cash flow hedges outstanding at February 28, 2014:

(in thousands)	Notional Amount		Maturity Date
Commodity contracts	$	28,265	March 2014 - December 2014
Interest rate contracts	$	100,000	June 2014 - December 2014

Commodity contracts		771		Cost of goods sold		360		Cost of goods sold		-
Totals	$	(107	)		$	(2,608	)		$	-

The estimated net amount of the losses recognized in accumulated OCI at February 28, 2014 expected to be reclassified into net earnings within the succeeding twelve months is $2,077,000 (net of tax of $1,121,000). This amount was computed using the fair value of the cash flow hedges at February 28, 2014, and will change before actual reclassification from OCI to net earnings during the fiscal years ending May 31, 2014 and 2015.

Economic (Non-designated) Hedges

We enter into foreign currency contracts to manage our foreign exchange 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.

The following table summarizes our economic (non-designated) derivative instruments outstanding at February 28, 2014:

(in thousands)	Notional Amount		Maturity Date(s)
Commodity contracts	$	24,330	March 2014 - December 2015
Foreign currency contracts	$	10,000	May 2014

The following table summarizes the gain (loss) recognized in earnings for economic (non-designated) derivative financial instruments during the three months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013:

	Location of Income  (Loss)         Recognized in Earnings	Income (Loss) Recognized in Earnings for the Three Months Ended February 28,

Foreign exchange contracts	Miscellaneous expense		(205	)		1,142
Total		$	(1,446	)	$	4,753

The following table summarizes the gain (loss) recognized in earnings for economic (non-designated) derivative financial instruments during the nine months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013:

	Location of Income  (Loss)         Recognized in Earnings	Income (Loss) Recognized in Earnings for the Nine Months Ended February 28,

Foreign exchange contracts	Miscellaneous expense		(210	)		1,363
Total		$	(1,169	)	$	9,207

The gain (loss) on the foreign currency and commodity derivatives significantly offsets the gain (loss) on the hedged item.

NOTE P – 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	–	Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
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.

22

At February 28, 2014, our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

Derivative contracts (1)	$	-	$	9,774	$	-	$	9,774
Total liabilities	$	-	$	9,774	$	-	$	9,774

(1) The fair value of our derivative contracts is based on the present value of the expected future cash flows considering the risks involved, including non-performance risk, and using discount rates appropriate for the respective maturities. Market observable, Level 2 inputs are used to determine the present value of the expected future cash flows. Refer to “NOTE O – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” for additional information regarding our use of derivative instruments.

(2) The fair value of the contingent consideration obligation is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model based on management’s projections of future EBITDA levels. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. At each reporting date, we will revalue the contingent consideration obligation to estimated fair value and record changes in fair value as income or expense in our consolidated statement of earnings.

23

The fair value included in the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, income taxes receivable, other assets, deferred income taxes, accounts payable, short-term borrowings, accrued compensation, contributions to employee benefit plans and related taxes, other accrued items, income taxes payable and other liabilities approximate carrying value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, based upon models utilizing market observable (Level 2) inputs and credit risk, was $415,517,000 and $421,056,000 at February 28, 2014 and May 31, 2013, respectively. The carrying amount of long-term debt, including current maturities, was $406,484,000 and $407,328,000 at February 28, 2014 and May 31, 2013, respectively.

NOTE Q – Subsequent Events

On March 27, 2014, we acquired the tank manufacturing division of Steffes Corporation (“Steffes”) for cash consideration of $28,872,000. Steffes manufactures oilfield storage tanks for customers drilling in the Bakken shale and Williston Basin region out of a manufacturing facility located in Dickinson, North Dakota.

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 and “Part I - Item 1A. - Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013.

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, should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in “Item 1. – Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”) includes additional information about Worthington, our operations and our financial position and should be read in conjunction with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We are primarily a diversified metals manufacturing company, focused on value-added steel processing and manufactured metal products. As of February 28, 2014, excluding our joint ventures, we operated 35 manufacturing facilities worldwide, principally in three reportable business segments: Steel Processing, Pressure Cylinders and Engineered Cabs. Our remaining operating segments, which do not meet the applicable aggregation criteria or quantitative thresholds for separate disclosure, are combined and reported in the “Other” category. These include the Construction Services and Worthington Energy Innovations operating segments.

We also held equity positions in 12 joint ventures, which operated 47 manufacturing facilities worldwide, as of February 28, 2014.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we made certain organizational changes impacting the internal reporting and management structure of our Steel Packaging operating segment. As a result of these organizational changes, management responsibilities and internal reporting were realigned under our Steel Processing operating segment. Segment information reported in previous periods has been restated to conform to this new presentation.

Overview

The Company’s performance during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was solid, driven by a strong performance in Steel Processing and modest growth in Pressure Cylinders, partially offset by weakness in Engineered Cabs and larger than expected losses from our construction businesses, which we are in the process of exiting.

Volumes were strong in the third quarter. Pressure Cylinders volumes were up 29%, driven by an increase in retail products. Steel Processing volumes were up 25%, driven by contributions from the consolidation of TWB and improvements in the automotive, construction and agriculture markets. Excluding the impact of TWB, Steel Processing volumes were up 12%. Refer toRecent Business Developmentsbelow for additional information regarding the acquisition of an additional 10% interest in TWB.

Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates (“equity income”) during the quarter was down 18% compared to the prior year period. The decrease resulted primarily from the consolidation of TWB on July 31, 2013. Since that date, TWB’s results have been consolidated versus reported in equity income. In addition, equity income from ClarkDietrich and WAVE were lower by $2.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, on lower volumes caused by severe weather conditions. However, all joint ventures posted positive results, led by WAVE, Serviacero and ClarkDietrich, which contributed $15.5 million, $3.1 million, and $1.0 million of equity income, respectively. We received $22.2 million in cash distributions from our unconsolidated affiliates during the quarter.

The Company continues its strategy of optimizing existing operations through the Transformation, pursuing growth opportunities that add to our current businesses, and developing new products through innovation. Our Transformation efforts within Pressure Cylinders, which were initiated in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, continue to gain traction and increase in scope. The efforts in our industrial and retail segments in particular are helping to drive recent steady quarterly improvements in our operating margins. Additionally, during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we initiated the Transformation in our Engineered Cabs operating segment, and these efforts are progressing through each facility.

• On July 31, 2013, we acquired an additional 10% interest in our laser welded blanks joint venture, TWB, increasing our ownership to a 55% controlling interest. As a result, TWB’s results have been consolidated within Steel Processing since that date, with the minority member’s portion of earnings eliminated within earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest. This transaction was accounted for as a step acquisition, which required that we re-measure our previously held 45% ownership interest to fair value and record the difference between fair value and carrying value as a gain in our consolidated statement of earnings. The re-measurement to fair value resulted in a non-cash pre-tax gain of $11.0 million, which is included in miscellaneous income in our consolidated statement of earnings for the nine months ended February 28, 2014.

• During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we committed to a re-branding initiative to brand substantially all of our businesses under the Worthington Industries name. In connection with the branding strategy, the Company discontinued the use of non-Worthington trade names except for retail brand names including BernzOmatic^® and Balloon Time^® and those related to our joint ventures.

• On October 18, 2013, we finalized an agreement with Nisshin Steel Co., Ltd. and Marubeni-Itochu Steel Inc. to form Zhejiang Nisshin Worthington Precision Specialty Steel Co., Ltd., which is awaiting regulatory approval. The joint venture will construct a plant in Zhejiang Province in the People’s Republic of China that will produce cold rolled strip steel primarily for the automotive industry. Initially, we will own a 10% interest in the joint venture with the option to increase our ownership interest to 34%.

• On November 12, 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell the operating assets related to our steel high pressure and acetylene cylinders business in North America.

• On December 10, 2013, the Company announced that its Baltimore steel facility will be closing by the end of fiscal 2014. With the consolidation of the steel industry, many of the mills that previously supplied the Baltimore facility have closed, negatively impacting the supply chain there. The Company has concluded that it can more efficiently service its customers in the Mid-Atlantic Region from other Worthington facilities and processing partners, and believes it will retain most of the business.

• On January 24, 2014, we acquired a 75% interest in Worthington Aritas, one of Europe’s leading LNG (liquefied natural gas) and cryogenic technology companies. The remaining 25% stake was retained by the prior owners.

• On March 26, 2014, the board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share payable on June 27, 2014 to shareholders of record on June 13, 2014.

• During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we repurchased a total of 1,000,000 common shares for $40.8 million at an average price of $40.76.

• On March 27, 2014, we acquired the tank manufacturing division of Steffes Corporation for cash consideration of $28.9 million. Steffes manufactures oilfield storage tanks for customers drilling in the Bakken shale and Williston Basin region out of a manufacturing facility located in Dickinson, North Dakota.

Market & Industry Overview

We sell our products and services to a diverse customer base and a broad range of end markets. The breakdown of our net sales by end market for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 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 58% of the net sales of our Steel Processing operating segment are to the automotive market. North American vehicle production, primarily by Chrysler, Ford and General Motors (the “Detroit Three automakers”), has a considerable impact on the activity within this operating segment. The majority of the net sales of four of our unconsolidated joint ventures are also to the automotive end market. The increase in the portion of total net sales made to the automotive market shown in the table above was driven primarily by the consolidation of TWB on July 31, 2013.

Approximately 9% of the net sales of our Steel Processing operating segment, 53% of the net sales of our Engineered Cabs operating segment and substantially all of the net sales of our Construction Services operating segment are to the construction market. The construction market is also the predominant end market for three of our unconsolidated joint ventures: WAVE, ClarkDietrich and WMSFMCo. 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 trends in the relative price of framing lumber and steel.

Substantially all of the net sales of our Pressure Cylinders operating segment, and approximately 33% and 47% of the net sales of our Steel Processing and Engineered Cabs operating segments, respectively, are to other markets such as retail, industrial, lawn and garden, agriculture, energy, heavy truck, mining, forestry and appliance. 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 this portion of our business. However, we believe that the trend in U.S. GDP growth is a good economic indicator for analyzing these operating segments.

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 for our products. A year-over-year increase in U.S. GDP growth rates is indicative of an improving economy, which generally increases demand for our products. Conversely, decreasing U.S. GDP growth rates generally have the opposite effect. Changes in U.S. GDP growth rates can also signal changes in conversion costs related to production and in SG&A 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 to cover current replacement costs.

The following table presents the average quarterly market price per ton of hot-rolled steel during fiscal 2014, fiscal 2013, and fiscal 2012:

	Fiscal Year						Increase / (Decrease)
(Dollars per ton1)	2014		2013		2012		2014 vs. 2013				2013 vs. 2012

No single customer contributed more than 10% of our consolidated net sales during the three and nine months ended February 28, 2014. 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 third quarter of fiscal 2014, vehicle production for the Detroit Three automakers was up 6% over the comparable period in the prior year. North American vehicle production during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was up 4% over the comparable period in the prior year.

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.

Net earnings attributable to controlling interest	$	40.6			5.3	%	$	37.1			6.0	%	$	3.5

Net earnings attributable to controlling interest for the three months ended February 28, 2014 increased $3.5 million over the comparable period in the prior year. Net sales and operating highlights were as follows:

• Net sales increased $153.7 million from the comparable period in the prior year. Acquisitions combined with higher overall volumes favorably impacted net sales by $146.7 million. Additionally, higher average selling prices in response to the higher cost of steel favorably impacted net sales by $7.0 million. Selling prices are affected by the market price of steel, which averaged $669 per ton during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 versus an average of $629 per ton during the comparable quarter in the prior year.

• Gross margin increased $25.5 million from the comparable period in the prior year. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in volumes and to a lesser extent an improved spread between average selling prices and material costs.

• SG&A expense increased $12.5 million from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to the impact of acquisitions and higher profit sharing and bonus expense. SG&A expense in the current quarter included $1.8 million related to acquisition fees and legal expense accruals for Pressure Cylinders.

• Restructuring and other expense of $1.4 million was driven by a severance accrual related to the recently announced closure of our Baltimore steel facility. For additional information regarding our restructuring activities, refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE D – Restructuring and Other Expense (Income)” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

• Interest expense of $6.2 million was flat relative to the comparable period in the prior year, as average debt levels and average interest rates were relatively consistent.

• Equity income decreased $4.5 million from the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease resulted from the consolidation of TWB and lower income at ClarkDietrich and WAVE. Since July 31, 2013, TWB’s results have been consolidated rather than reported as equity income. Equity income from ClarkDietrich and WAVE were lower by $2.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, on lower volumes related to severe weather conditions. However, all joint ventures posted positive results, led by WAVE, Serviacero and ClarkDietrich, which contributed $15.5 million, $3.1 million, and $1.0 million of equity income, respectively. For additional financial information regarding our unconsolidated affiliates, refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE B – Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

29

• Income tax expense increased $0.4 million from the comparable period in the prior year. The impact of higher earnings was partially offset by favorable discrete tax adjustments in the current period, including a $1.4 million decrease in the valuation allowance associated with the Company’s ability to utilize foreign tax credits, and a $1.1 million state audit adjustment. The current quarter expense of $16.6 million was calculated using an estimated annual effective rate of 27.3% versus 31.8% in the prior year quarter. See “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE K – Income Taxes” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our tax rates.

Net sales and operating highlights were as follows:

• Net sales increased $124.1 million from the comparable period in the prior year to $478.0 million. The consolidation of TWB and increased volumes in the automotive, construction and agriculture markets favorably impacted net sales by $115.3 million. Excluding the impact of TWB, overall volumes were up 12% and the mix of direct versus toll tons processed was 56% to 44%, compared to 58% to 42% in the comparable quarter of the prior year.

• Operating income increased by $10.6 million from the prior year quarter to $28.3 million due primarily to higher overall volumes and the impact of the consolidation of TWB. The overall improvement in operating income was partially offset by $1.4 million of severance costs accrued in connection with the previously announced closure of the Company’s Baltimore steel facility.

Material cost	$	22.6					$	23.8				$	(1.2	)

Net sales and operating highlights were as follows:

• Net sales increased $2.9 million from the comparable period in the prior year driven by higher volumes.

• Operating loss of $1.1 million represents a $1.2 million decrease from the operating income in the prior year, as the increase in net sales was more than offset by higher manufacturing and SG&A expense due in part to costs associated with the Transformation.

Other

The Other category includes the Construction Services and Worthington Energy Innovations operating segments, as they do not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate disclosure. Certain income and expense items not allocated to our operating segments are also included in the Other category, as is the activity related to the wind-down of our former Metal Framing operating segment. The following table presents a summary of operating results for the Other category for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended February 28,
(Dollars in millions)	2014			% of Net sales			2013			% of Net sales			Increase/ (Decrease)

Operating loss	$	(3.2	)		-30.5	%	$	(2.2	)		-18.6	%	$	(1.0	)

Net sales and operating highlights were as follows:

• Net sales decreased $1.3 million from the comparable period in the prior year, due primarily to declines in the Construction Services business, which we are in the process of exiting.

• Operating loss increased $1.0 million from the comparable period in the prior year to $3.2 million due primarily to declines in the Construction Services business as a result of larger than expected cost overruns for two projects.

Net earnings attributable to controlling interest	$	118.1			5.3	%	$	102.9			5.4	%	$	15.2

Net earnings attributable to controlling interest for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 increased $15.2 million over the comparable period in the prior year. Net sales and operating highlights were as follows:

• Net sales increased $327.2 million from the comparable period in the prior year. The impact of acquisitions combined with higher overall volumes favorably impacted net sales by $360.3 million. The impact of higher overall volumes was partially offset by lower average selling prices, which negatively impacted net sales by $33.1 million.

• Gross margin increased $76.2 million from the comparable period in the prior year due to the aforementioned increase in volumes and a higher spread between average selling prices and material costs due in part to the favorable impact of inventory holding gains in Steel Processing in the current year period, compared to inventory holding losses in the prior year period.

• SG&A expense increased $37.9 million from the comparable period in the prior year due primarily to the impact of acquisitions, higher profit sharing and bonus expense, and a $2.0 million legal accrual related to a product liability matter within Pressure Cylinders. For additional information, refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE E – Contingent Liabilities” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

• Impairment charges of $35.4 million consisted of $30.7 million related to the write-off of certain trade name intangible assets in connection with the branding initiative committed to during the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and $4.7 million related to certain non-core assets within Steel Processing. For additional information, refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE C – Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

• Restructuring income of $3.8 million was driven by $6.8 million of net gains on the sale of assets, including $4.8 million related to the sale of our Integrated Terminals warehouse facility in Detroit, Michigan, and $2.0 million related to the sale of our North American steel high pressure and acetylene cylinders business. The impact of these items was partially offset by $2.0 million of accrued severance costs related primarily to the recently announced closure of our Baltimore steel facility and $0.6 million of facility exit costs related to the wind-down of our commercial stairs business. For additional information regarding our restructuring activities, refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE D – Restructuring and Other Expense (Income)” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

33

• In connection with the wind-down of our former Metal Framing operating segment, we recognized net charges of $1.0 million within the joint venture transactions financial statement caption. This amount consisted primarily of facility exit costs. For additional information, refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE A – Basis of Presentation” and “NOTE D – Restructuring and Other Expense (Income)” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

• Interest expense of $18.7 million was $0.9 million higher than the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to the impact of higher average interest rates.

• Equity income decreased $4.4 million from the comparable period in the prior year, as the impact of the consolidation of TWB more than offset the overall improvement from our other joint ventures. All joint ventures posted positive results, led by WAVE, ClarkDietrich, and Serviacero, which contributed $50.8 million, $6.1 million, and $4.8 million of equity income, respectively. The equity portion of income from WSP, Serviacero and WAVE exceeded the prior year period by $2.2 million, $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. TWB’s contribution to equity income decreased $7.1 million, as only two months of activity are reflected in the current year-to-date period due to our acquisition of an additional 10% ownership interest on July 31, 2013. Since that date, TWB’s results have been consolidated versus reported in equity income. For additional financial information regarding our unconsolidated affiliates, refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE B – Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

• Income tax expense decreased $8.8 million from the comparable period in the prior year due primarily to higher forecasted tax credits, a higher forecasted deduction for qualified production activities income, and the impact of several discrete tax adjustments recorded in the current period. The significant discrete tax adjustments recorded in the current period included: (i) a $11.2 million favorable adjustment associated with trade name impairment charges (refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note C – Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” for additional information), (ii) a $1.2 million favorable adjustment for the difference between the actual tax credit earned by one of the Company’s joint ventures and the original amount estimated in the prior year, (iii) a $4.5 million reduction in the estimated U.S. deferred tax liability primarily associated with the unremitted earnings of foreign corporations owned by TWB resulting from acquiring control of TWB (refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE N - Acquisitions” for additional information), (iv) a $1.4 million decrease in the valuation allowance associated with the Company’s ability to utilize foreign tax credits, (v) a $1.1 million favorable state audit adjustment, and (vi) a $1.4 million deferred tax liability associated with the gain recorded in the TWB transaction. Tax expense of $38.9 million for the nine months ended February 28, 2014, was calculated using an estimated annual effective rate of 27.3% versus 31.8% in the prior year comparable period. See “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE K – Income Taxes” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our tax rates.

Net sales and operating highlights were as follows:

• Net sales increased $289.6 million from the comparable period in the prior year. The consolidation of TWB combined with increased volumes in the automotive, construction and agriculture markets favorably impacted net sales by $315.7 million, while lower base material prices in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 led to decreased pricing for our products, negatively impacting net sales by $26.1 million. Excluding the impact of TWB, overall volumes were up 9%, and the mix of direct versus toll tons processed was 57% to 43%, compared to 56% to 44% in the comparable prior year period.

• Operating income increased $37.5 million from the comparable period in the prior year due primarily to higher overall volumes and the positive impact of inventory holding gains in the current period compared to inventory holding losses in the prior year period. Current quarter operating income was also favorably impacted by a net restructuring gain of $3.4 million, which consisted of $4.8 million related to the sale of the Company’s Integrated Terminals warehouse facility in Detroit, Michigan, offset by $1.4 million of severance costs accrued in connection with the closure of the Company’s Baltimore steel facility. The overall improvement in operating income was partially offset by an impairment charge of $4.7 million related to certain non-core assets within Steel Processing.

Units shipped (in thousands)		61,656						58,826					2,830

Net sales and operating highlights were as follows:

• Net sales increased $57.3 million from the comparable period in the prior year, as the favorable impact of recent acquisitions was partially offset by overall softness in our European cylinder operations.

• Operating income decreased $1.0 million from prior year, as the improvement in gross margin was more than offset by trade name impairment charges of $11.6 million as a result of a re-branding initiative and an increase in SG&A expense due to the impact of acquisitions and an increase in corporate allocated expenses. The improvement in gross margin was driven by the impact of recent acquisitions, as well as gross margin improvements at existing operations. The overall decrease in operating income in the current period was also partially offset by a $2.0 million net gain on the sale of the Company’s North American steel high pressure and acetylene cylinders business. For additional information regarding the trade name impairment charges, refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE C – Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Material cost	$	66.2					$	85.9				$	(19.7	)

Net sales and operating highlights were as follows:

• Net sales decreased $23.1 million from the comparable period in the prior year driven by lower volumes and the impact of lower average selling prices.

• Operating loss of $22.3 million represents a $27.7 million decrease from the operating income of $5.4 million in the prior year period. The decrease was driven primarily by a $19.1 million impairment charge related to trade names impacted by the re-branding strategy. Lower volumes and higher SG&A expense, due in part to costs associated with the Transformation, drove the remainder of the decrease. For additional information regarding the trade name impairment charge, refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE C – Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other

The Other category includes our Construction Services and Worthington Energy Innovations operating segments, as they do not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate disclosure. Certain income and expense items not allocated to our operating segments are also included in the Other category as is the activity related to the wind down of our former Metal Framing operating segment. The following table presents a summary of operating results for the Other category for the periods indicated:

	Nine Months Ended February 28,
(Dollars in millions)	2014			% of Net sales			2013			% of Net sales			Increase/ (Decrease)

Operating loss	$	(9.0	)		-17.7	%	$	(7.1	)		-15.0	%	$	(1.9	)

Net sales and operating highlights were as follows:

• Net sales increased $3.5 million from the comparable period in the prior year, due primarily to improvement in the Energy Innovations business.

• Operating loss increased $1.9 million from the comparable period in the prior year, as the increase in gross margin was more than offset by the combined increase in restructuring charges and expenses related to the joint venture transactions. Restructuring charges in the current period consisted primarily of facility exit costs associated with the wind down of our commercial stairs business. For additional information regarding our restructuring activities, refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE D – Restructuring and Other Expense (Income)” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the nine months ended February 28, 2014, we generated $220.6 million of cash from operating activities, invested $52.2 million in property, plant and equipment and received proceeds of $24.3 million from the sale of assets. Additionally, we repaid $78.6 million of short-term borrowings and paid $21.0 million of dividends. We also repurchased 2,380,500 of our common shares for $91.1 million. The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013:

	Nine Months  Ended February 28,
(in millions)	2014			2013
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	220.6		$	195.7
Net cash used by investing activities		(1.0	)		(80.3	)
Net cash used by financing activities		(218.1	)		(119.0	)
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		1.5			(3.6	)
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		51.4			41.0
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	52.9		$	37.4

We believe we have access to adequate resources to meet our needs for normal operating costs, mandatory capital expenditures and debt redemptions, dividend payments and working capital for our existing businesses. These resources include cash and cash equivalents, cash provided by operating activities and unused lines of credit. We also believe that we have adequate access to the financial markets to allow us to be in a position to sell long-term debt or equity securities. However, given the uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, our ability to access capital, and the terms under which we can do so, may change.

The cash and cash equivalents balance at February 28, 2014 included $33.3 million of cash held by subsidiaries outside of the United States that the Company intends to indefinitely reinvest. Although the majority of this cash is available for repatriation, bringing the money into the United States could trigger federal, state and local income tax obligations.

Following the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we expect to file a universal automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The registration statement will permit us to offer debt securities, common shares or any combination of these securities, from time to time, in one or more public offerings.

We are currently contemplating an offering of debt securities. Any securities to be offered will be done so pursuant to a separate prospectus supplement issued at the time of the respective offering, which will describe the specific types, amounts, prices, terms and expected use of proceeds of the offered securities.

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 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 due to 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 provided by operating activities was $220.6 million during the nine months ended February 28, 2014 compared to $195.7 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2013. The difference was driven largely by the improvement in net earnings over the comparable period in the prior year.

38

Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities was $1.0 million during the nine months ended February 28, 2014 compared to $80.3 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2013. The decrease was primarily driven by acquisition activity. During the nine months ended February 28, 2014, the Company paid $35.6 million for a 75% interest in Worthington Aritas and $17.9 million for an additional 10% interest in TWB. However, the overall impact to cash was an increase of $17.6 million, as TWB’s cash balance at the time of acquisition exceeded the cash paid for our additional 10% interest. This compares to $62.1 million paid for Westerman, Inc. in the comparable period in the prior year. Other factors contributing to the overall increase included $9.2 million of excess distributions from ClarkDietrich and higher proceeds from the sale of assets, which increased $8.1 million. The overall increase was partially offset by higher capital expenditures, which increased $17.7 million over the comparable period in the prior year.

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 acquisitions will be consummated, or that any needed additional financing will be available on satisfactory terms when required.

Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities was $218.1 million during the nine months ended February 28, 2014. During the first nine months of fiscal 2014, we paid $91.1 million to repurchase 2,380,500 of our common shares and paid $21.0 million of dividends. Additionally, we repaid $78.6 million of short-term borrowings and made payments to noncontrolling interests of $39.2 million, including $33.5 million to the minority partner of TWB for excess cash at the time of our acquisition of an additional 10% interest in the joint venture.

As of February 28, 2014, we were in compliance with our short-term and long-term debt covenants. Our debt agreements do not include credit rating triggers or material adverse change provisions. Our credit ratings at February 28, 2014 were unchanged from those reported as of May 31, 2013.

Common shares– The Board declared quarterly dividends of $0.15 per common share for each quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $0.13 per common share for each quarter of fiscal 2013. Dividends paid on our common shares totaled $21.0 million and $44.1 million, respectively, during the nine months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013. The decrease was due to an accelerated cash dividend for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2013 totaling $0.26 per common share. The dividend was paid on December 28, 2012 to shareholders of record as of December 21, 2012. As a result, no dividends were paid on our common shares during the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

On June 29, 2011, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to 10,000,000 of our outstanding common shares of which 2,722,332 remained available for repurchase at February 28, 2014. During the first nine months of fiscal 2014, a total of 2,380,500 of our common shares were repurchased under this authorization.

The common shares available for repurchase under the June 29, 2011 authorization may be purchased from time to time, with consideration given to the market price of the common shares, the nature of other investment opportunities, cash flows from operations, general economic conditions and other relevant considerations. Repurchases may be made on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.

Dividend Policy

We currently have no material contractual or regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends. Dividends are declared at the discretion of the Board of Worthington Industries. The Board reviews the dividend quarterly and establishes the dividend rate based upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, current and projected cash flows, business prospects and other relevant factors. As mentioned above, the third and fourth quarter dividends of fiscal 2013 were paid on December 28, 2012. 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.

39

Contractual Cash Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments

Our contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments have not changed significantly 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 our 2013 Form 10-K, other than the changes in borrowings, as described in “Part I – Item 1. – Financial Statements - NOTE G – Debt and Receivables Securitization” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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 financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. However, as of February 28, 2014, we were party to an operating lease for an aircraft in which we have guaranteed a residual value at the termination of the lease. The maximum obligation under the terms of this guarantee was approximately $13.2 million at February 28, 2014. We have also guaranteed the repayment of a term loan entered into by one of our unconsolidated joint ventures, ArtiFlex. As of February 28, 2014, the outstanding principal balance on the loan was $3.7 million. In addition, we had in place $14.3 million of outstanding stand-by letters of credit for third-party beneficiaries as of February 28, 2014. These letters of credit were issued to third-party service providers and had no amounts drawn against them at February 28, 2014. Based on current facts and circumstances, we have estimated the likelihood of payment pursuant to these guarantees, and determined that the fair value of our obligation under each guarantee based on those likely outcomes is not material.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2011, new accounting guidance was issued that establishes certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivatives instruments that are subject to netting arrangements. The new disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those periods. We adopted this new guidance on June 1, 2013, and have provided the required disclosures in “NOTE O – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

In June 2011, new accounting guidance was issued regarding the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This new guidance requires entities to present reclassification adjustments included in other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements and allows entities to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. It also eliminates the option for entities to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. For public companies, this accounting guidance was effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those fiscal years) beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application to prior periods is required. We adopted the effective provisions of this new accounting guidance on June 1, 2012 and have provided the required statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2014 and 2013. In December 2011, certain provisions of this new guidance related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income were temporarily deferred. In February 2013, an effective date was established for the provisions that had been deferred. These provisions are effective prospectively for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2012. We adopted the deferred provisions, which relate to presentation only, on June 1, 2013 and have provided the required disclosures in “NOTE H – Comprehensive Income.” There was no impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In July 2012, amended accounting guidance was issued that simplifies how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amended guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative test unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this amended accounting guidance on June 1, 2013, did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

40

In March 2013, amended accounting guidance was issued regarding the accounting for cumulative translation adjustment. The amended guidance specifies that a cumulative translation adjustment should be released into earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or a group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. For sales of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment attributable to the investment would be recognized in earnings upon sale of the investment. The amended guidance is effective prospectively for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this amended accounting guidance to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

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, intangible assets, accrued liabilities, income and other tax accruals, and contingencies and litigation. 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 obtained from other sources. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that require our significant judgments and involve 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 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 our 2013 Form 10-K.

We review our receivables on an ongoing basis to ensure they are properly valued. Based on this review, we believe our reserve for doubtful accounts is adequate. However, if the economic environment and market conditions deteriorate, particularly in the automotive and construction markets where our exposure is greatest, additional reserves may be required. We recognize revenue upon transfer of title and risk of loss provided evidence of an arrangement exists, pricing is fixed and determinable, and the ability to collect is probable. In circumstances where the collection of payment is not probable at the time of shipment, we defer recognition of revenue until payment is collected.

We review the carrying value of our long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite useful lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable.

Impairment testing involves a comparison of the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group to its respective carrying amount. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows exceeds the carrying amount, then no impairment exists. If the carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows, then a second step is performed to determine the amount of impairment, which would be recorded as an impairment charge in our consolidated statements of earnings.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we determined that certain indicators of impairment were present with regard to certain non-core Steel Processing assets. Recoverability of the identified asset group was tested using future cash flow projections based on management’s estimate of market conditions. The sum of these undiscounted future cash flows was less than the net book value of the asset group. The net book value was also determined to be in excess of fair value and, accordingly, the asset group was written down to its fair value of $11.8 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $4.6 million.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment annually, during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may be present. Application of goodwill impairment testing involves judgment, including but not limited to, the identification of reporting units and the estimation of the fair value of each reporting unit. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. We test goodwill at the operating segment level as we have determined that the characteristics of the reporting units within each operating segment are similar and allow for their aggregation in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance.

41

The goodwill impairment test consists of comparing the fair value of each operating segment, determined using discounted cash flows, to each operating segment’s respective carrying value. If the estimated fair value of an operating segment exceeds its carrying value, there is no impairment. If the carrying amount of the operating segment exceeds its estimated fair value, a goodwill impairment is indicated. The amount of the impairment is determined by comparing the fair value of the net assets of the operating segment, excluding goodwill, to its estimated fair value, with the difference representing the implied fair value of the goodwill. If the implied fair value of the goodwill is lower than its carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment charge in the consolidated statements of earnings.

No impairment indicators were present with regard to goodwill during the nine months ended February 28, 2014. However, impairment indicators were present with regard to certain trade name intangible assets impacted by the re-branding initiative committed to during the second quarter of fiscal 2014, as more fully described underRecent Business Developmentsabove. In connection with the change in branding strategy, we discontinued the use of all non-Worthington trade names except those related to retail products such as BernzOmatic^® and Balloon Time^® and those related to our joint ventures. As no future cash flows will be attributed to the impacted trade names, the entire book value was written-off, resulting in an impairment charge of $30.7 million.

Item 3. – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risks have not changed significantly from those disclosed in “Part II - Item 7A. – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our 2013 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 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 fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2014). 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 fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2014) 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

Item 1. – Legal Proceedings

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 financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

42

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Worthington Industries, Inc. for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013 (our “2013 Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 30, 2013, 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 our 2013 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 our 2013 Form 10-K could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made. The risk factors described in our 2013 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or future results.

Item 2. – Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The following table provides information about purchases made by, or on behalf of, Worthington Industries, Inc. or any “affiliated purchaser” (as defined in Rule 10b-18(a) (3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of common shares of Worthington Industries, Inc. during each month of the fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2014:
