Note A – Basis of Presentation

 

Basis of Presentation

 

These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Worthington Enterprises and its consolidated subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

We own an 80% controlling interest in Halo, which we acquired on February 1, 2024. Halo is consolidated with the equity owned by the other joint venture members shown as “noncontrolling interests” in our consolidated balance sheets, and the other joint venture members’ portions of net earnings and OCI are shown as net earnings or comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statements of earnings and consolidated statements of comprehensive income, respectively. Net earnings and total equity in periods prior to the Separation include the minority interest of Worthington Steel.

 

Investments in unconsolidated affiliates that we do not control are accounted for using the equity method with our proportionate share of income or loss recognized within equity income in our consolidated statements of earnings. See further discussion of our unconsolidated affiliates in “Note C – Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates.”

These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature except those which have been disclosed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for these interim periods, have been included. Operating results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2024 Form 10-K.

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

 

Separation of the Steel Processing Business

 

On December 1, 2023, we completed the spin-off of our former steel processing business into an independent publicly traded company, Worthington Steel, on a tax-free basis. Accordingly, the operating results and financial position, of the former steel processing business, except for the minority partner’s portion of noncontrolling interest and accumulated other comprehensive income, are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented, as discussed in further detail in “Note B – Discontinued Operations.” All discussion within this Form 10-Q, including amounts, percentages and disclosures for all periods presented, reflect only our continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

 

In connection with the Separation, we entered into several agreements with Worthington Steel that govern our ongoing relationships, the most significant of which is the Steel Supply and Services Agreement. Other agreements include a Trademark License Agreement, a Transition Services Agreement, and certain long-term services agreements. Amounts under the Trademark License Agreement, Transition Services Agreement and long-term services agreements were not significant during the six months ended November 30, 2024.

 

Pursuant to the Steel Supply and Services Agreement, Worthington Steel manufactures and supplies to us, at reasonable market rates, certain flat rolled steel products, and will provide us with certain related support services such as design, engineering/technical services, price risk management, scrap management, steel purchasing, supply chain optimization and product rework services, and other services at our request that are ancillary to the supply of the flat rolled steel products. Purchases from Worthington Steel under the Steel Supply and Services Agreement for the three months and six months ended November 30, 2024, totaled $23,024 and $51,455, respectively, of which $5,977 was payable at November 30, 2024.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize all revenue at the point in time the performance obligation is satisfied and control of the product is transferred to the customer upon shipment or delivery.

 

Receivables

 

We review our receivables on an ongoing basis to ensure that they are properly valued and collectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts is used to record the estimated risk of loss related to our customers’ inability to pay. This allowance is maintained at a level that we consider appropriate based on factors that affect collectability, such as the financial health of our customers, historical trends of charge-offs and recoveries and current economic and market conditions. Our allowance for doubtful accounts increased from $343 at May 31, 2024, to $2,553 at November 30, 2024, primarily due to a customer bankruptcy in Consumer Products.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires the disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the notes to the financial statements to provide enhanced transparency into the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of ASU 2024-03 or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on our related disclosures.
