NOTE C - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Total comprehensive income was $13,215,000 and $12,340,000 for the
three months ended August 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
NOTE D - RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE
During the quarter ended February 28, 2001, the Company recorded a
restructuring expense of $6,474,000, comprised of $2,000,000 for severance and
employee related costs and $4,474,000 for the write-down of the idled assets to
net realizable value. As of August 31, 2001, 110 employees had been terminated,
and cash payments totaling $977,000 had been made against the severance reserve.
The estimated net realizable value of the equipment being idled of $2,600,000
was reclassified to other current assets as equipment held for sale. The Company
anticipates that the termination of employees and the sale of the idled
equipment will be completed by the end of the 2001 calendar year.
NOTE E - GOODWILL
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 141, BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, and SFAS No. 142, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE
ASSETS, effective June 2001. SFAS No. 141 requires the use of the purchase
method of accounting for any business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001
and further clarifies the criteria to recognize intangible assets separately
from goodwill. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
assets are no longer amortized but will be reviewed for impairment. Separable
intangible assets with a definite life will continue to be amortized over their
useful lives. The adoption of this Statement did not have a material effect on
the Company's results of operations; therefore, transitional pro forma
disclosures are not presented. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002
("fiscal 2002"), the Company will perform the first of the required impairment
tests of goodwill. The impact of these impairment tests has not yet been
determined.
Goodwill by segment is summarized as follows:

================= =================
NOTE F - DERIVATIVES
In June 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES. The Statement requires
derivatives to be carried on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that
are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative
is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of
the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the
hedged assets, liabilities or
7
firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income
until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The change in a derivative's
fair value related to the ineffective portion of a hedge, if any, will be
immediately recognized in earnings. Adoption of SFAS No. 133 resulted in an
immaterial cumulative effect adjustment to miscellaneous expense and an
unfavorable adjustment to other comprehensive income of $1,928,000, net of tax.
COMMODITY SWAP CONTRACTS: The Company is exposed to market risk for
price fluctuations on purchases of steel, natural gas, zinc, nickel and other
raw materials and utility requirements. To limit this exposure, the Company
negotiates the best prices for its commodities and competitively prices its
products and services to reflect the fluctuations in commodity market prices. To
a limited extent, the Company has entered into commodity derivative instruments
(cash flow hedges) to hedge purchases of steel and zinc. The steel hedge matures
January 2002, and the zinc hedges mature at various dates through December 2003.
Ineffectiveness has been immaterial for fiscal 2002. The majority of the losses
in other comprehensive income will be reclassified to earnings within 12 months
as the commodities are purchased.
FOREIGN CURRENCY SWAP CONTRACTS: The translation of the Company's
foreign operations from local currencies to the U.S. dollar subjects the Company
to exposure related to fluctuating exchange rates. The Company does not use
derivative instruments to manage this risk. However, the Company does make
limited use of forward contracts to manage its exposure on certain intercompany
loans with foreign affiliates. The hedges are 100% effective against the amounts
recorded in the foreign affiliates' foreign currency translation balances in
other comprehensive income.

OVERVIEW
Worthington Industries, Inc. is a diversified steel processor that
focuses on value-added steel processing and metals-related businesses. We
operate 43 facilities worldwide, principally in three reportable business
segments: Processed Steel Products, Metal Framing and Pressure Cylinders. We
also hold equity positions in eight joint ventures, which as of August 31, 2001
operated 16 facilities worldwide.
RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with our Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report. Our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2001, includes additional
information about our company, our operations and our financial position, and
should be read in conjunction with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
FIRST QUARTER - FISCAL 2002 COMPARED TO FISCAL 2001
For the first quarter ended August 31, 2001 (the "first quarter") of
the fiscal year ending May 31, 2002 ("fiscal 2002"), net sales decreased 15% to
$409.6 million, down $74.6 million from the comparable quarter of the fiscal
year ended May 31, 2001 ("fiscal 2001"). The overall decrease in net sales was
due to weaker demand within each segment, especially Processed Steel Products,
and competitive pricing pressure in the Processed Steel Products and Metal
Framing segments. The following provides further information on net sales by
segment:
9
- PROCESSED STEEL PRODUCTS. Net sales decreased 17% to $265.6
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 from $318.1
million in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2001. The
continued economic slowdown, particularly in the automotive
industry, led to lower direct volumes at every plant except
Delta, Ohio. In addition, average selling prices decreased due
to competition and shifting product mix. An increase in toll
processing shipments partially offset the decrease in direct
sales.
- METAL FRAMING. Net sales of $79.5 million for the first
quarter of fiscal 2002 decreased 16% from $95.0 million in the
comparable quarter of fiscal 2001. This decrease was primarily
due to pricing pressures in the highly competitive building
products market, which led to lower selling prices. Lower
volumes further contributed to the overall decline.
- PRESSURE CYLINDERS. Net sales decreased 12% to $61.6 million
for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 from $70.0 million in the
comparable quarter of fiscal 2001. Most of this shortfall was
due to weak domestic demand for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
cylinders. However, net sales in Europe increased considerably
compared to the prior year.
Gross margin on sales increased to 14.6% for the first quarter of
fiscal 2002 from 13.2% for the comparable quarter of fiscal 2001. The margin in
the prior year quarter was depressed due to higher priced steel and the
inability to increase sales prices. The improvement in the quarter reflects a
relationship between the sales price and the cost of material which is closer to
historical levels.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense decreased 11% to
$37.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 from $42.0 million in the
comparable quarter of fiscal 2001. The majority of the decrease was due to a
$1.9 million pre-tax gain on the sale of an airplane.
Operating income increased 3% to $22.6 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 2002 from $21.9 million in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2001. The
increase in operating income was due to higher margins in the Processed Steel
Products segment despite the overall decrease in net sales combined with the
previously mentioned gain on the sale of the airplane. The following provides
further information on operating income by segment:
- PROCESSED STEEL PRODUCTS. Operating income of $13.5 million
for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 increased 45% from $9.4
million in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2001. While direct
sales volumes and selling prices declined significantly, a
decrease in the average price of raw materials combined with
lower labor and SG&A expenses more than offset this decline.
- METAL FRAMING. Operating income decreased 27% to $6.6 million
for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 from $9.0 million in the
comparable quarter of fiscal 2001. Lower selling prices and
sales volumes more than offset the favorable impact of lower
raw material costs.
10
- PRESSURE CYLINDERS. Operating income decreased 66% to $1.8
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 from $5.3 million
in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2001. Lower LPG cylinder
sales volumes and a $1.3 million charge to bad debt expense
related to the potential bankruptcy of a customer were the
main reasons for the decline.
Interest expense decreased 41% to $5.5 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 2002 from $9.4 million in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2001
principally due to a reduction in short-term debt (see description in "Liquidity
and Capital Resources"). In addition, our average interest rate on short-term
unsecured notes payable was 4.33% for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 compared
to 6.74% for the first quarter of fiscal 2001. At August 31, 2001, approximately
97% of our $303.5 million of consolidated debt was at fixed rates of interest.
Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates decreased 31% to $4.9
million for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 from $7.0 million in the comparable
quarter of fiscal 2001. The decrease was driven by lower sales at WAVE and TWB
and higher material cost at Acerex.
Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2002 and fiscal
2001 was 36.5%.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the first quarter of fiscal 2002, we generated $40.4 million in
cash from operating activities, representing a $19.7 million increase from the
comparable quarter of fiscal 2001. The increase primarily was due to lower
working capital requirements, particularly accounts receivable and inventory.
Our investing and financing activities during the first quarter of
fiscal 2002 included retiring $17.2 million of long-term debt, disbursing $13.7
million in dividends to shareholders and investing $12.7 million in capital
projects. These transactions were funded by the cash flows from our operations
and $7.9 million in proceeds from the sale of assets.
Capital spending during the first quarter of fiscal 2002 included the
following: in the Processed Steel Products segment, we continued the
construction on Gerstenslager's Clyde facility; in the Metal Framing segment, we
completed the initial phase of our plant in Seattle; and in our steel pallet
business, we continued the installation of additional welding equipment.
In November 2000, we entered into a $120.0 million revolving trade
receivables securitization ("TRS") facility with a commercial bank which was
expanded to $190.0 million in May 2001. Under the TRS facility, certain of our
subsidiaries sell their accounts receivable, on a revolving basis, to
Worthington Receivables Corporation ("WRC"), a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote
subsidiary. WRC then sells undivided ownership interests in those accounts
receivable to independent third parties. As of August 31, 2001, $110.0 million
of accounts receivable had been sold. The proceeds from these sales have been
used to reduce short-term borrowings.
Consolidated net working capital decreased $13.5 million from May 31,
2001 to $129.6 million at August 31, 2001. The decrease was primarily the result
of a reduction in accounts
11
receivable due to lower sales in Pressure Cylinders and Processed Steel
Products, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable.
We maintain a $190.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver")
with a group of commercial banks, which expires in May 2003, to finance the cash
requirements of our business operations. We had no outstanding borrowings under
the Revolver at August 31, 2001. We also have short-term uncommitted lines of
credit extended by various commercial banks available as needed. Outstanding
borrowings under these uncommitted lines at August 31, 2001 were $9.5 million.
At August 31, 2001, our total debt was $303.5 million compared to
$324.8 million at the end of fiscal 2001 primarily due to the previously
mentioned retirement of long-term debt. As a result, our debt to capital ratio
decreased to 31.8% from 33.3% at the end of fiscal 2001.
From time to time, we engage in discussions with respect to selected
acquisitions, and we expect to continue to assess acquisition opportunities as
they arise. Additional financing may be required if we decide to make additional
acquisitions. 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.
Absent any acquisitions, we anticipate that cash flows from operations, working
capital and unused short-term borrowing capacity should be more than sufficient
to fund expected normal operating costs, dividends, and capital expenditures for
our existing businesses.
