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, 1997 and May 31, 1997; the results of
operations for the three months ended August 31, 1997 and 1996, and
cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 1997 and 1996.
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth
in Note A to the consolidated financial statements in the 1997
Worthington Industries, Inc. Annual Report to Shareholders which is
included in the Company's 1997 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, 1997 and 1996 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, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.
NOTE E - INVOLUNTARY CONVERSION OF ASSETS
On August 14, 1997, the Company experienced a fire at its
steel processing facility in Monroe, Ohio. The fire significantly
damaged the pickling area of the facility and caused less extensive
damage to the remainder of the plant. The Company has shifted as much
business as possible to its other locations, with the remainder being
sent to third party processors. The blanking operations are currently
running, slitting is expected to return within a few months, and
pickling in around one year.

WORTHINGTON INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Company carries both property damage and business interruption
insurance and as a result, management does not expect the fire to have a
material adverse impact on the Company's financial results. The total loss from
business interruption, extra expenses and property damage is expected to be in
excess of $60 million. The deductible portion of the loss (one-half million
dollars) was included as other expense during the quarter ended August 31, 1997.
The Company will record the expected insurance recovery for business
interruption and extra expenses as a receivable, netted with amounts advanced by
the insurance company. The estimated net benefit from the business interruption
insurance which approximates the operating income which would have resulted had
the fire not occurred, is included in net sales and other revenues.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The first quarter results were a record for sales and core earnings
(excluding Rouge Steel equity earnings). For the three months ended August 31,
1997, net sales of $500.4 million were 16% higher than in last year's first
quarter. Net earnings were $22.7 million and earnings per share were $.24, both
up 4% from the previous year.
Sales increases for the quarter were achieved for all segments. Volume
increased in the metal framing, automotive body panel, cylinder, plastic and
steel castings businesses. Pricing increased in metal framing and automotive
body panels. Earnings for the quarter were supported by significant increases in
metal framing, automotive body panels, cylinders and equity in net income of
unconsolidated affiliates.
Gross margin was up 13% for the quarter and as a percentage of sales
was 14.3% (14.7% last year). Material, labor and overhead costs were higher for
the quarter due to the inclusion of acquired operations in the current year
amounts and the startup of the Delta steel processing plant. The material cost
component of cost of goods sold, primarily in steel processing, contributed to
most of the increase.
Selling, general and administrative expense increased 21% for the
quarter due mostly to the startup of Delta and the inclusion of expenses for
acquired operations in the current year. As a percent of sales, this expense for
the quarter was 6.5% (6.2% last year). Operating income was 7% higher for the
quarter. As a percentage of sales, operating income was 7.8% for the quarter
(8.5% last year).
Interest expense increased 72% for the three months. Average debt
outstanding increased due to the high level of capital expenditures and the
average interest rate increased from last year. The Company capitalized interest
of $1,469,000 ($929,000 last year) during the quarter.
Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates was up 61% for the
quarter. Equity from Worthington Armstrong Venture and Acerex were up
significantly for the period.
Income taxes decreased 2% for the three month period as the effective
tax rate was lower (37.0% compared to 38.3%) due to lower state taxes.
9
10
The processed steel products segment posted record sales for the period
due to increased volume for the metal framing business, auto body panels and
cylinders and the startup of the Delta, Ohio facility. Steel processing sales
improved from last year despite summer strikes, shutdowns in the automotive and
appliance markets and a fire at the Monroe, Ohio plant. The new nickel plating
line at the Malvern, Pa. plant started production in June.
On August 14, 1997, the Company experienced a fire at its steel
processing facility in Monroe. The fire significantly damaged the pickling area
of the facility and caused less extensive damage to the remainder of the plant.
The Company has shifted as much business as possible to its other locations,
with the remainder being sent to third party processors. Blanking is now back in
operation, while slitting is expected to return within a few months and pickling
in around one year. The estimated net benefit from the business interruption
insurance, which approximates the operating income which would have resulted had
the fire not occurred, is included in net sales and other revenues.
Pressure cylinders' sales and operating income were up because of
increased volume for steel portables and high pressure cylinders. The metal
framing business contributed to the increased sales and operating income for the
segment, benefiting from improved market conditions and operating efficiency
gains. The auto body panel business experienced increased volume and higher
operating income for the three months due to strong demand for its automotive
replacement parts.
Sales for the custom products segment were up for the first quarter;
however, operating income was lower. The plastics operation increased sales due
to the acquisition of PMI in December 1996. Operating income was lower because
of the summer strikes and shutdowns in the automotive and appliance sectors.
During the quarter, a strategic alliance with a German plastics company,
Troester Systeme und Komponenten, was formed allowing global growth without
additional capital investment. Precision Metals profits increased above last
year's first quarter on sales that were flat.
The cast products segment continues to suffer from lower volume and
operating income was down for the quarter.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At August 31, 1997, the Company's current ratio was 2.2:1, down from
2.4:1 at May 31, 1997, mostly due to a decrease in accounts receivable. Total
debt as a percentage of total committed capital (total debt and shareholder's
equity), both excluding DECS, decreased to 36% from 37% at May 31, 1997. Working
capital was $315.2 million, 43% of the Company's total net worth, down
10
11
from 49% at May 31, 1997. As a percentage of annualized sales, working capital
was 15.7%, down from 17.3% for last year's first quarter.
During the three months, the Company's cash position decreased by $5.6
million. Cash provided by operating activities was $71.5 million, up from $53.6
last year. Capital expenditures of $74.4 million and dividends paid of $12.6
million were funded mostly from cash provided from operations and proceeds from
minority interest investment. Capital expenditures were up 55% over last year
and will continue at high levels with the construction of the Decatur, Alabama
steel processing plant and funding of the Spartan Steel joint venture.
At August 31, 1997, $50 million of the $190 million revolving credit
facility was unused. The Company expects its operating results and cash from
normal operating activities to improve during the remainder of the fiscal year.
Additional borrowings may be needed to support anticipated capital expenditures.
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 regularly
considers long-term debt issuance an alternative depending on financial market
conditions.
