NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note A - Management's Opinion
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly
the financial position of Worthington Industries, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(the Company) as of August 31, 1996 and May 31, 1996; the results of
operations and cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 1996 and
1995.
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in
Note A to the consolidated financial statements in the 1996 Worthington
Industries, Inc. Annual Report to Shareholders which is incorporated by
reference in the Company's 1996 Form 10-K.
Note B - Income Taxes
The income tax rate is based on statutory federal and state rates,
and an estimate of annual earnings adjusted for the permanent
differences between reported earnings and taxable income.
Note C - Earnings Per Share
Earnings per common share for the three months ended August 31,
1996 and 1995 are based on the weighted average common shares
outstanding during each of the respective periods.
Note D - Results of Operations
The results of operations for the three months ended August 31,
1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.
Note E - Accounting Change
During the first quarter, the Company took certain steps relative
to its investment in Rouge Steel, which resulted in the Company
accounting for this investment on the cost method instead of the equity
method. As a result, for the quarter ended August 31, 1996, the
Company's equity share of Rouge earnings will no longer be included in
reported earnings or earnings per share. The investment in Rouge common
stock has been reclassified to other assets and adjusted to market value
as an "available-for-sale" security with a net of tax adjustment to
shareholder's equity.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales for the three months ended August 31,1996 were a record $402.6
million, 24% higher than last year's first quarter. Net earnings were $19.6
million and earnings per share were $.22. Comparisons with last year's first
quarter are discussed below.
During the first quarter, the Company took certain steps relative to its
investment in Rouge Steel, which resulted in the Company accounting for this
investment on the cost method instead of the equity method. As a result,
effective for the quarter ended August 31, 1996, the Company's equity share of
Rouge earnings will no longer be included in reported earnings or earnings per
share. The Company believes that to appropriately compare periods, fiscal 1996
results should be adjusted to eliminate the impact of Rouge equity earnings.
In the first quarter of fiscal 1996, Rouge contributed $.05 to the Company's
reported earnings per share of $.24, and the steel, plastics, castings and
joint venture businesses contributed $.19 per share. This year's first quarter
earnings per share of $.22 (which does not include Rouge equity earnings
because of the accounting change), were 16% higher than last year's results
excluding Rouge, of $.19 per share.
The sales increase principally reflects the inclusion of the metal
framing business in this year's results. Gross margin was up 23% for the
quarter in line with the sales increase. Gross margin as a percentage of sales
for the quarter was 14.3% compared to 14.4% last year. Selling, general and
administrative expense increased 27% for the quarter because of higher
profit-sharing and the inclusion of the metal framing business expenses this
year. As a percent of sales, this expense was 6.3% compared to 6.1% last year.
Operating income was 20% higher for the quarter due to better performances in
the processed steel products and custom products segments. As a percentage of
sales, operating income was 8.1% compared to 8.3%.
Interest expense increased 165% for the three months. Average debt rose
because of increased borrowings to acquire the metal framing business and to
support higher levels of capital expenditures. The average interest rate
decreased to 5.9% from 6.8% last year. Interest of $929,000 was capitalized
during the quarter. Overall, interest expense will increase as the Company
continues to fund its growth through debt financing rather than equity
financing.
Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates was down 69% for the
quarter because of the elimination of equity earnings from the investment in
Rouge due to the accounting change discussed above. Excluding Rouge, equity
from unconsolidated affiliates was up 115%. Worthington Armstrong Venture was
up significantly on increased demand.
-7-
Income taxes decreased less than pre-tax earnings for the three month
period as the effective tax rate increased to 38.3% from 37.5% last year due
to an increase in state taxes.
The processed steel products segment posted record sales with the
inclusion of the metal framing business this year and record earnings due to
improvements in its businesses. Steel processing shipments were down mainly
due to lower automotive volume but earnings increased due to more favorable
pricing and product mix. Pressure cylinders had record sales for the first
three months because of increased non-refillable refrigerant volume. Also, in
June 1996, the Company purchased SCM Technologies which designs, engineers and
manufactures high pressure industrial, medical, halon and electronic gas
cylinders. SCM, which is located just outside Windsor, Ontario, will enable
the Company to increase its penetration in the high pressure cylinder market.
The custom products segment sales and earnings were records for the
first quarter. The plastics operation benefited from higher volume in its
automotive contracts and improvement at its newer, non-automotive plants.
Precision metals increased sales and operating income above last year.
The cast products segment results were lower than in last year's first
quarter. Improved industrial volume was more than offset by lower demand for
freight railcars. Operating income was also lower due to the decrease in
volume and the resulting decreases in production efficiencies and coverage of
fixed costs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At August 31, 1996, the Company's current ratio was 2.7:1, down from
3.2:1 at May 31, 1996. Long-term debt was 31% of total capital. Working
capital was $288.8 million, 43% of the Company's total net worth, down from
51% at fiscal 1996 year-end.
During the three months ended August 31, 1996, the Company's cash
position decreased by $7.8 million. Cash provided by operations was $47.4
million, consisting mostly of cash from earnings and a $18.7 million decrease
in some working capital items. The working capital decrease occurred because
of the lower sales volume of the first quarter versus the fourth quarter.
Capital expenditures and investments in acquisitions were $55.1 million and
dividends paid were $10.9 million.
The Company expects its operating results and cash from normal operating
activities to improve during the year. However, as in the first three months
of the year, borrowings may be needed to support anticipated capital
expenditures. The Company has a $150 million committed, revolving credit
agreement, of which $65 million was unused at August 31, 1996. Immediate
borrowing capacity plus cash generated from operations should be more than
sufficient to fund expected normal operating cash needs, dividends, debt
payments and capital expenditures for existing businesses. The Company intends
to offer $75 to $100 million of three year notes exchangeable into Class A
-8-
Common Stock of Rouge Steel Company in the form of DECS (SM) (Debt
Exchangeable for Common Stock (SM)). At maturity, holders of the DECS will
receive in exchange for the principle amount of the notes, shares of Rouge
Steel held by the Company (or at the Company's option, cash in lieu of the
shares). The number of Rouge shares (or the amount of cash) will be based upon
the price of Rouge Steel Class A Common Stock shortly before the maturity of
the DECS. The Company plans to use the proceeds from the DECS offering to pay
down borrowings under its current revolving credit agreement or for general
corporate purposes. The DECS will be offered only by means of a Prospectus.
