The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02:

On June 23, 2021, Worthington Industries, Inc. (the “Registrant”) issued a news release (the “Financial News Release”) reporting results for the three- and twelve-months periods ended May 31, 2021.

In the Financial News Release, the Registrant presented “adjusted net earnings” and “adjusted net earnings per share” on a consolidated basis and “operating income, excluding impairment and restructuring charges” for the Pressure Cylinders segment. These represent non-GAAP financial measures and are used by management as measures of operating performance.  In general, these non-GAAP financial measures exclude impairment and restructuring charges, but may also exclude other items that management does not believe reflect the Registrant’s core operations. Reconciliations from the most comparable GAAP measures to these non-GAAP financial measures for the periods reported are included in the supplemental data reported with the Financial News Release.

Pursuant to Item 7.01, the Financial News Release issued by the Registrant on June 23, 2021 is included herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by this reference.
