Worthington Q4 2023 Earnings Report
Key Takeaways
Worthington Industries reported Q4 2023 net sales of $1.2 billion and net earnings of $129.9 million, or $2.61 per diluted share. The results were driven by a strong performance in the Steel Processing business. Demand for key end markets remained healthy, with all business segments delivering solid cash flows and earnings.
Net sales decreased by 19% year-over-year to $1.2 billion, primarily due to lower average selling prices in the Steel Processing business.
Gross margin increased by $76.6 million year-over-year to $244.4 million, driven by higher direct spreads in Steel Processing.
Operating income increased by $57.2 million year-over-year to $122.6 million, despite a $12.6 million headwind from higher impairment and restructuring charges.
The company is on track to complete the separation of its Steel Processing business by early calendar 2024.
