Acquisition: Worthington is executing a voluntary tender offer for Kloeckner, expects to meet the 57.5% minimum threshold, and still expects the transaction to close in the second half of the calendar year.
Sales & Profitability: Q3 net sales were $769.8 million; reported earnings were $10.4 million ($0.20/sh) and adjusted EBITDA was $41.6 million, with adjusted EPS of $0.27.
Market dynamics: Demand was uneven—galvanized spreads compressed, winter weather and holidays delayed activity, but automotive direct shipments (Detroit 3) grew strongly (about +13% for Worthington versus +3% Detroit 3 production).
Europe weakness: Sitem (Europe) performance was pressured, with EBIT prior to minority interest down $8.4 million due to weak demand and competition, prompting cost and operational actions.
Cash & capital: Q3 operating cash flow $63 million, free cash flow $33 million, trailing 12-month free cash flow $81 million; quarter-end cash $90 million and net debt $161 million; bought ~8% of Kloeckner shares for $101 million using increased ABL borrowings.
Growth investments: Electrical steel capacity projects progressing (Canada & Mexico) but some OEM program timing pushed out; CapEx this quarter $30 million, FY2026 CapEx expected $110–115 million.
Working capital & pricing: Steel prices were volatile; company expects pretax inventory holding gains of $15 million to $20 million in Q4 and anticipates upward pressure on working capital.
Transformation & AI: Continued rollout of the Worthington Business System and AI/automation (examples: Delta lean flow results, cash-posting AI agent, AP automation) to reduce inventory and manual work.
