Worthington Enterprises reported a respectable quarter with net sales of $257.3 million and net earnings from continuing operations of $24.3 million, or $0.48 per diluted share. The results were impacted by persistent higher interest rates and macroeconomic uncertainty which continued to impact demand.
Consumer Products had a solid quarter with year-over-year earnings growth despite flat volumes.
Building Products earnings were down due to weak volumes in the heating and cooking business and lower contributions from ClarkDietrich.
Net sales decreased by 17.5% from the prior year quarter, driven by the deconsolidation of the former Sustainable Energy Solutions (SES) segment and lower volume in the Building Products segment.
The company acquired Hexagon Ragasco, a leading global manufacturer of composite propane cylinders.
Worthington Enterprises has a positive long-term outlook, especially with the recent recalibration of interest rates. The company's market-leading products and brands are well-positioned to take advantage of long-term secular trends and should benefit when near-term headwinds subside and demand normalizes.
