ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
On March 19, 2003, Worthington Industries, Inc. issued a press release
announcing results for its fiscal third quarter ended February 28, 2003. Our
press release (the "Release") is attached hereto as Exhibit 99 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
The Release contains both GAAP financial information and information
showing the impact of excluding restructuring adjustments and non-recurring
losses. We believe it is meaningful for investors to be able to readily compare
year-over-year results of operation excluding the impact of these charges.
