SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

Selected statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, in “PART I – Item 2. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” constitute “forward-looking statements” as that term is used in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”). Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations, estimates or projections concerning future results or events. These statements are often identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “may,” “could,” “intend,” “estimate,” “plan,” “foresee,” “likely,” “will,” “should” or other similar words or phrases. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to:

• business plans or future or expected growth, performance, sales, volumes, cash flows, earnings, balance sheet strengths, debt, financial condition or other financial measures;

• projected profitability potential, capacity, and working capital needs;

• demand trends for us or our markets;

• additions to product lines and opportunities to participate in new markets;

• pricing trends for raw materials and finished goods and the impact of pricing changes;

• anticipated capital expenditures and asset sales;

• anticipated improvements and efficiencies in costs, operations, sales, inventory management, sourcing and the supply chain and the results thereof;

• the ability to make acquisitions and the projected timing, results, benefits, costs, charges and expenditures related to acquisitions, newly-created joint ventures, headcount reductions and facility dispositions, shutdowns and consolidations;

• the alignment of operations with demand;

• the ability to operate profitably and generate cash in down markets;

• the ability to maintain margins and capture and maintain market share and to develop or take advantage of future opportunities, new products and new markets;

• expectations for Company and customer inventories, jobs and orders;

• expectations for the economy and markets or improvements therein;

• expected benefits from transformation plans, cost reduction efforts and other new initiatives;

• expectations for increasing volatility or improving and sustaining earnings, earnings potential, margins or shareholder value;

• effects of judicial rulings; and

• other non-historical matters.

Because they are based on beliefs, estimates and assumptions, forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Any number of factors could affect actual results, including, without limitation, those that follow:

• the effect of national, regional and worldwide economic conditions generally and within major product markets, including a prolonged or substantial economic downturn;

• the outcome of negotiations surrounding the United States debt and budget, which may be adverse due to its impact on tax increases, governmental spending, and customer confidence and spending;

• the effect of conditions in national and worldwide financial markets;

• product demand and pricing;

• changes in product mix, product substitution and market acceptance of our products;

• fluctuations in the pricing, quality or availability of raw materials (particularly steel), supplies, transportation, utilities and other items required by operations;

• effects of facility closures and the consolidation of operations;

• the effect of financial difficulties, consolidation and other changes within the steel, automotive, construction and other industries in which we participate;

• failure to maintain appropriate levels of inventories;

• financial difficulties (including bankruptcy filings) of original equipment manufacturers, end-users and customers, suppliers, joint venture partners and others with whom we do business;

• the ability to realize targeted expense reductions from headcount reductions, facility closures and other cost reduction efforts;

• the ability to realize other cost savings and operational, sales and sourcing improvements and efficiencies, and other expected benefits from transformation initiatives, on a timely basis;

• the overall success of, and the ability to integrate, newly-acquired businesses and joint ventures, maintain and develop their customers, and achieve synergies and other expected benefits and cost savings therefrom;

ii

• capacity levels and efficiencies, within facilities, within major product markets and within the industry as a whole;

• the effect of disruption in the business of suppliers, customers, facilities and shipping operations due to adverse weather, casualty events, equipment breakdowns, acts of war or terrorist activities or other causes;

• changes in customer demand, inventories, spending patterns, product choices, and supplier choices;

• risks associated with doing business internationally, including economic, political and social instability, foreign currency exposure and the acceptance of our products in new markets;

• the ability to improve and maintain processes and business practices to keep pace with the economic, competitive and technological environment;

• the outcome of adverse claims experience with respect to workers’ compensation, product recalls or product liability, casualty events or other matters;

• deviation of actual results from estimates and/or assumptions used by us in the application of our significant accounting policies;

• level of imports and import prices in our markets;

• the impact of the outcome of judicial and governmental agency rulings as well as the impact of governmental regulations, both in the United States and abroad, including those adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and other governmental agencies as contemplated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010;

• the effect of changes to healthcare laws in the United States, which may increase our healthcare and other costs and negatively impact our financial results and operations; and

• other risks described from time to time in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including those described in “PART I – Item 1A. — Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013.

We note these factors for investors as contemplated by the Act. It is impossible to predict or identify all potential risk factors. Consequently, you should not consider the foregoing list to be a complete set of all potential risks and uncertainties. Any forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are based on current information as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we assume no obligation to correct or update any such statements in the future, except as required by applicable law.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE A – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Worthington Industries, Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “we”, “our”, “Worthington” or the “Company”). Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

Spartan Steel Coating, LLC (“Spartan”), TWB Company, L.L.C. (“TWB”), Worthington Energy Innovations, LLC (“WEI”), and Worthington Nitin Cylinders Limited (“WNCL”) in which we own controlling interests of 52%, 55%, 75%, and 60%, respectively, are consolidated with the equity owned by the other joint venture members shown as noncontrolling interest in our consolidated balance sheets, and the other joint venture members’ portion of net earnings shown as net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statements of earnings. As more fully described in “NOTE M – Acquisitions,” on July 31, 2013, we purchased an additional 10% interest in TWB for $17,869,000, increasing our ownership to a 55% controlling interest. As a result, TWB’s results have been consolidated within the Steel Processing operating segment since the acquisition date.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations of these interim periods, have been included. Operating results for the three months ended August 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2014 (“fiscal 2014”). For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”) of Worthington Industries, Inc. (the “2013 Form 10-K”).

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

Joint Venture Transactions

On March 1, 2011, we joined with ClarkWestern Building Systems Inc. to form Clarkwestern Dietrich Building Systems LLC (“ClarkDietrich”), a joint venture that manufactures a full line of drywall studs and accessories, structural studs and joists, metal lath and accessories, and shaft wall studs and track used primarily in residential and commercial construction. We contributed our metal framing business and related working capital in exchange for a 25% ownership interest in ClarkDietrich. As we do not have a controlling interest in ClarkDietrich, our investment in this joint venture is accounted for under the equity method, and the contributed net assets were deconsolidated effective March 1, 2011.

We retained and continued to operate the remaining metal framing facilities (the “retained facilities”), on a short-term basis, to support the transition of the business into ClarkDietrich. The buildings and equipment associated with the majority of these facilities were sold during fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012. The remaining facilities are expected to be sold during fiscal 2014 and actions to locate buyers are ongoing. As the other relevant criteria for classification as assets held for sale have been satisfied, the $3,309,000 carrying value of these asset groups, which consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, is presented separately in our consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2013.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2011, new accounting guidance was issued that establishes certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivatives instruments that are subject to netting arrangements. The new disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those periods. We adopted this new guidance on June 1, 2013, and have provided the required disclosures in “NOTE N – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

In June 2011, new accounting guidance was issued regarding the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This new guidance requires entities to present reclassification adjustments included in other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements and allows entities to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. It also eliminates the option for entities to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. For public companies, this accounting guidance was effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those fiscal years) beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application to prior periods is required. We adopted the effective provisions of this new accounting guidance on June 1, 2012 and have provided the required statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012. In December 2011, certain provisions of this new guidance related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income were temporarily deferred. In February 2013, an effective date was established for the provisions that had been deferred. These provisions are effective prospectively for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2012. We adopted the deferred provisions, which relate to presentation only, on June 1, 2013 and have provided the required disclosures in “NOTE G – Comprehensive Income.” There was no impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In July 2012, amended accounting guidance was issued that simplifies how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amended guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative test unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this amended accounting guidance on June 1, 2013, did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In March 2013, amended accounting guidance was issued regarding the accounting for cumulative translation adjustment. The amended guidance specifies that a cumulative translation adjustment should be released from earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or a group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. For sales of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment attributable to the investment would be recognized in earnings upon sale of the investment. The amended guidance is effective prospectively for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this amended accounting guidance to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE B – Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

Our investments in affiliated companies that we do not control, either through majority ownership or otherwise, are accounted for using the equity method. At August 31, 2013, these equity investments and the percentage interests owned consisted of: ArtiFlex Manufacturing, LLC (“ArtiFlex”) (50%), ClarkDietrich (25%), Gestamp Worthington Wind Steel, LLC (the “Gestamp JV”) (50%), Samuel Steel Pickling Company (31.25%), Serviacero Planos, S. de R. L. de C.V. (50%), Worthington Armstrong Venture (“WAVE”) (50%), Worthington Modern Steel Framing Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“WMSFMCo.”) (40%), and Worthington Specialty Processing (“WSP”) (51%). WSP is considered to be jointly controlled and not consolidated due to substantive participating rights of the minority partner.

Due to the volatile political environment in the United States, particularly in regards to the Federal Production Tax Credit, the Company is in the process of dissolving the Gestamp JV.

6

We received distributions from unconsolidated affiliates totaling $26,591,000 during the three months ended August 31, 2013. We have received cumulative distributions from WAVE in excess of our investment balance totaling $61,745,000 and $63,187,000 at August 31, 2013 and May 31, 2013, respectively. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, these excess distributions are reclassified to the liabilities section of our consolidated balance sheet. We will continue to record our equity in the net income of WAVE as a debit to the investment account, and if it becomes positive, it will again be shown as an asset on our consolidated balance sheet. If it becomes obvious that any excess distribution may not be returned (upon joint venture liquidation or otherwise), we will recognize any balance classified as a liability as income immediately.

We use the “cumulative earnings” approach for determining cash flow presentation of distributions from our unconsolidated joint ventures. Distributions received are included in our consolidated statements of cash flows as operating activities, unless the cumulative distributions exceed our portion of the cumulative equity in the net earnings of the joint venture, in which case the excess distributions are deemed to be returns of the investment and are classified as investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. During the three months ended August 31, 2013, we received excess distributions from ClarkDietrich of $5,555,000.

In fiscal 2008, we initiated a Transformation Plan (the “Transformation Plan”) with the overall goal to improve our sustainable earnings potential, asset utilization and operational performance. The Transformation Plan focuses on cost reduction, margin expansion and organizational capability improvements and, in the process, seeks to drive excellence in three core competencies: sales; operations; and supply chain management. The Transformation Plan is comprehensive in scope and includes aggressive diagnostic and implementation phases. When this process began, we retained a consulting firm to assist in the development and implementation of the Transformation Plan.

7

As the Transformation Plan progressed, we formed internal teams dedicated to this effort, and they ultimately assumed full responsibility for executing the Transformation Plan. Although the consulting firm was again engaged as we rolled out the Transformation Plan in our Pressure Cylinders operating segment, most of the work is now being done by our internal teams. These internal teams are now an integral part of our business and constitute what we refer to as the Centers of Excellence (“COE”). The COE will continue to monitor the performance metrics and new processes instituted across our transformed operations and drive continuous improvements in all areas of our operations. The majority of the expenses related to the COE will be included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense going forward, except where they relate to a first time diagnostics phase of the Transformation Plan.

To date, we have completed the transformation phases in each of the core facilities within our Steel Processing operating segment, including the facilities of our Mexican joint venture. We also substantially completed the transformation phases at our metal framing facilities prior to their contribution to ClarkDietrich. Transformation efforts within our Pressure Cylinders and Engineered Cabs operating segments, which began during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal 2013, respectively, are ongoing.

A progression of the liabilities associated with our restructuring activities, combined with a reconciliation to the restructuring and other expense (income) financial statement caption in our consolidated statement of earnings for the three months ended August 31, 2013 is summarized as follows:

(in thousands)	Beginning Balance		Expense			Payments			Adjustments		Ending Balance
Early retirement and severance	$	5,029	$	402		$	(441	)	$	-	$	4,990
Facility exit and other costs		1,200		505			(380	)		-		1,325
	$	6,229		907		$	(821	)	$	-	$	6,315
Gain on asset disposal				(4,762	)
Less: joint venture transactions				(142	)
Restructuring and other expense (income)			$	(3,997	)

The following discussion summarizes the restructuring activities that occurred during the three months ended August 31, 2013:

• In connection with the wind-down of our former Metal Framing operating segment, we recognized $142,000 of facility exit and other costs. These costs were recognized within the joint venture transactions financial statement caption in our consolidated statements of earnings to correspond with amounts previously recognized in connection with the formation of ClarkDietrich and the subsequent wind-down of our former Metal Framing operating segment.

• In connection with the closure of our commercial stairs business, we incurred facility exit charges of approximately $363,000.

• In connection with the consolidation of the BernzOmatic hand torch manufacturing operation in Medina, New York into the existing Pressure Cylinders’ facility in Chilton, Wisconsin, we recognized an additional $402,000 accrual for expected employee severance costs. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we recognized a $2,488,000 accrual for expected severance costs related to this matter.

• On June 30, 2013, the Company completed the sale of Integrated Terminals, its warehouse facility in Detroit, Michigan, for cash proceeds of $7,457,000, resulting in a gain of approximately $4,762,000.

Approximately $4,794,000 of the total liability is expected to be paid in the next twelve months. The remaining liability, which consists of lease termination costs and certain severance benefits, will be paid through September 2016.

NOTE D – Contingent Liabilities

On August 5, 2013, we tendered to our excess loss carrier, who accepted the tender, a wrongful death claim against the Company involving a MAPP gas cylinder. Pursuant to the tender and its acceptance, our overall exposure related to this matter is limited to $2,000,000. As a result, a pre-tax charge of $2,000,000 was recorded within SG&A expense during the three months ended August 31, 2013.

8

We are defendants in certain legal actions. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these actions, which is not clearly determinable at the present time, would not significantly affect our consolidated financial position or future results of operations. We believe that environmental issues will not have a material effect on our capital expenditures, consolidated financial position or future results of operations.

Insurance Recoveries

On August 19, 2013, a fire occurred at our Pressure Cylinders facility in Kienberg, Austria, in the building that houses the massing process in the production of acetylene cylinders. The other portions of the Austrian facility were not damaged; however, the massing building sustained extensive damage and was rendered inoperable. We have incurred losses related to the destruction of assets caused by the fire and expect to incur incremental business interruption costs in future periods. The Company has business interruption and property damage insurance. During the three months ended August 31, 2013, the Company recognized charges of $358,000 for the impairment of fixed assets destroyed in the fire. We have determined that the receipt of reimbursement for these costs is probable and in accordance with our insurance policies and, therefore, have recorded a receivable for the recovery of this amount.

NOTE E – Guarantees

We do not have guarantees that we believe are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. However, as of August 31, 2013, we were party to an operating lease for an aircraft in which we have guaranteed a residual value at the termination of the lease. The maximum obligation under the terms of this guarantee was approximately $13,715,000 at August 31, 2013. We have also guaranteed the repayment of a $4,583,000 term loan entered into by one of our unconsolidated affiliates, ArtiFlex. Based on current facts and circumstances, we have estimated the likelihood of payment pursuant to these guarantees, and determined that the fair value of our obligation under each guarantee based on those likely outcomes is not material and therefore no amounts have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements.

We also had in place $11,732,000 of outstanding stand-by letters of credit for third-party beneficiaries as of August 31, 2013. These letters of credit were issued to third-party service providers and had no amounts drawn against them at August 31, 2013. The fair value of these guarantee instruments, based on premiums paid, was not material, and therefore no amounts have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE F – Debt and Receivables Securitization

We have a $425,000,000 multi-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders that matures in May 2017. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility were $18,000,000 at August 31, 2013. Additionally, as discussed in “NOTE E – Guarantees,” we provided $11,732,000 in stand-by letters of credit for third-party beneficiaries as of August 31, 2013. While not drawn against, these letters of credit are issued against availability under the Credit Facility, leaving $395,268,000 available at August 31, 2013.

Current borrowings under this revolving Credit Facility have maturities of less than one year, and given that we intend to repay them within the next year, they have been classified as short-term borrowings in our consolidated balance sheet. However, we can extend the term of amounts borrowed by renewing these borrowings for the term of the Credit Facility. We have the option to borrow at rates equal to an applicable margin over the LIBOR, Prime or Fed Funds rates. The applicable margin is determined by our credit rating. At August 31, 2013, the applicable variable rate, based on LIBOR, was 1.23%.

We also maintain a $100,000,000 revolving trade accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”), which expires in January 2015. The AR Facility has been available throughout fiscal 2014 to date, and was available throughout fiscal 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the AR Facility, certain of our subsidiaries sell their accounts receivable without recourse, on a revolving basis, to Worthington Receivables Corporation (“WRC”), a wholly-owned, consolidated, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. In turn, WRC may sell without recourse, on a revolving basis, up to $100,000,000 of undivided ownership interests in this pool of accounts receivable to a multi-seller, asset-backed commercial paper conduit (the “Conduit”). Purchases by the Conduit are financed with the sale of A1/P1 commercial paper. We retain an undivided interest in this pool and are subject to risk of loss based on the collectability of the receivables from this retained interest. Because the amount eligible to be sold excludes receivables more than 90 days past due, receivables offset by an allowance for doubtful accounts due to bankruptcy or other cause, concentrations over certain limits with specific customers and certain reserve amounts, we believe additional risk of loss is minimal. The book value of the retained portion of the pool of accounts receivable approximates fair value. As of August 31, 2013, the pool of eligible accounts receivable exceeded the $100,000,000 limit, and $40,000,000 of undivided ownership interests in this pool of accounts receivable had been sold.

9

The remaining balance of short-term borrowings at August 31, 2013 consisted of $4,187,000 outstanding under a $9,500,000 credit facility maintained by our consolidated affiliate, WNCL. This credit facility matures in November 2013 and bears interest at a variable rate. The applicable variable rate was 2.25% at August 31, 2013. We plan to renew this credit facility prior to its expiration.

(a) The income statement classification of amounts reclassified to income for cash flow hedges is disclosed in “NOTE N – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

NOTE I – Stock-Based Compensation

Non-Qualified Stock Options

During the three months ended August 31, 2013, we granted non-qualified stock options covering a total of 121,200 common shares under our stock-based compensation plans. The weighted average option price of $31.71 per share was equal to the market price of the underlying common shares at the grant date. The fair value of these stock options, based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, calculated at the grant date, was $12.92 per share. The calculated pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for these stock options, after an estimate for forfeitures, is $1,435,000 and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period. The following assumptions were used to value these stock options:

Dividend yield	2.28	%
Expected volatility	52.23	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.69	%
Expected term (years)	6.0

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common shares and the risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury strip rate for the expected term of the stock options. The expected term was developed using historical exercise experience.

11

Restricted Common Shares

During the three months ended August 31, 2013, we granted 111,000 restricted common shares under our stock-based compensation plans. The fair values of these restricted common shares were equal to the closing market prices of the underlying common shares on the date of grant, or $31.71 per share. The calculated pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for these restricted common shares is $3,150,000 and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period.

Market-Based Restricted Common Shares

During the three months ended August 31, 2013, we granted 360,000 restricted common shares to certain key employees under our stock-based compensation plans. Vesting of these restricted common share awards is contingent upon the price of our common shares reaching $50.00 per share and remaining at or above that price for 30 consecutive days and the completion of a three-year service vesting period. The grant-date fair value of these restricted common shares, as determined by a Monte Carlo simulation model, was $24.19 per share. The Monte Carlo simulation model is a statistical technique that incorporates multiple assumptions to determine the probability that the market condition will be achieved. The following assumptions were used to determine the grant-date fair value and the derived service period for these restricted common shares:

Dividend yield	2.28	%
Expected volatility	53.40	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.41	%

The calculated pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for these restricted common shares was determined to be $8,708,000 and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year service vesting period.

NOTE J – Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 reflected estimated annual effective income tax rates of 28.9% and 32.6%, respectively. The annual effective income tax rates exclude any impact from the inclusion of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statements of earnings. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest is primarily a result of our Spartan and TWB consolidated joint ventures. The earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Spartan and TWB’s U.S. operations do not generate tax expense to Worthington since the investors in Spartan and TWB’s U.S. operations are taxed directly based on the earnings attributable to them. For financial reporting purposes, as a result of consolidating TWB beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 (see “NOTE M – Acquisitions”), 100% of the tax expense of TWB’s foreign operations is included in the Company’s reported income tax expense, and is therefore included in the estimated annual effective income tax rate. Management is required to estimate the annual effective income tax rate based upon its forecast of annual pre-tax income for domestic and foreign operations. Our actual effective income tax rate for fiscal 2014 could be materially different from the forecasted rate as of August 31, 2013.

12

NOTE K – Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012:

	Three Months Ended August 31,
(in thousands, except per share amounts)	2013		2012
Numerator (basic & diluted):
Net earnings attributable to controlling interest – income available to common shareholders	$	54,557	$	33,962
Denominator:
Denominator for basic earnings per share attributable to controlling interest – weighted average common shares		69,601		68,278
Effect of dilutive securities		2,482		1,293
Denominator for diluted earnings per share attributable to controlling interest – adjusted weighted average common shares		72,083		69,571
Basic earnings per share attributable to controlling interest	$	0.78	$	0.50
Diluted earnings per share attributable to controlling interest	$	0.76	$	0.49

Stock options covering 2,671,180 common shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended August 31, 2012, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive, as the exercise price of the stock options was greater than the average market price of the common shares during the period.

13

NOTE L – Segment Operations

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we made certain organizational changes impacting the internal reporting and management structure of our Steel Packaging operating segment. As a result of these organizational changes, management responsibilities and internal reporting were realigned under our Steel Processing operating segment. Segment information reported in previous periods has been restated to conform to this new presentation.

Summarized financial information for our reportable segments is shown in the following table:

	Three Months Ended August 31,

NOTE M – Acquisitions

On July 31, 2013, we purchased an additional 10% interest in our laser welded blanks joint venture, TWB, for $17,869,000, increasing our ownership to a 55% controlling interest. This transaction was accounted for as a step acquisition, which required that we re-measure our previously held 45% ownership interest to fair value and record the difference between fair value and carrying value as a gain in our consolidated statement of earnings. The re-measurement to fair value resulted in a non-cash pre-tax gain of $11,000,000, which is included in miscellaneous income in our consolidated statement of earnings for the three months ended August 31, 2013. The acquired net assets became part of our Steel Processing operating segment upon closing.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their acquisition-date fair values. In connection with the acquisition of TWB, we identified and valued the following identifiable intangible assets:

(in thousands)			Useful  Life (Years)
Category	Amount
Customer relationships	$	17,438		5-6
Trade names		4,120		Indefinite
Non-compete agreement		470		5
Total acquired identifiable intangible assets	$	22,028

The purchase price includes the fair values of other assets that were not identifiable, not separately recognizable under accounting rules (e.g., assembled workforce) or of immaterial value. The estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed approximated the purchase price and therefore no goodwill was recognized.

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred for our 55% controlling interest in TWB and the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

(in thousands)
Consideration Transferred:
Cash consideration	$	17,869
Fair value of previously held interest in TWB		72,369
Total consideration	$	90,238
Estimated Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	70,826
Accounts receivable		52,012
Inventories		20,403
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		4,027
Intangible assets		22,028
Other noncurrent assets		103
Property, plant and equipment		52,390
Total identifiable assets		221,789
Accounts payable		(50,642	)
Accrued liabilities		(6,431	)
Deferred taxes		(2,109	)
Net assets		162,607
Noncontrolling interest		(72,369	)
Total consideration	$	90,238

The fair value of our previously held equity interest and the noncontrolling interest was derived using a market approach, and included a minority discount of 10% to reflect management’s estimate of the control premium.

Operating results of TWB have been included in our consolidated statements of earnings from the acquisition date, forward. For periods prior to the acquisition date, our portion of the equity in the net income of TWB was included within equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statements of earnings. Pro forma results, including the acquired business since the beginning of fiscal 2013, would not be materially different than reported results.

NOTE N – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We utilize derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to certain risks related to our ongoing operations. The primary risks managed through the use of derivative instruments include interest rate risk, currency exchange risk and commodity price risk. While certain of our derivative instruments are designated as hedging instruments, we also enter into derivative instruments that are designed to hedge a risk, but are not designated as hedging instruments and therefore do not qualify for hedge accounting. These derivative instruments are adjusted to current fair value through earnings at the end of each period.

Interest Rate Risk Management – We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes. Our objective is to manage the impact of interest rate changes on cash flows and the market value of our borrowings. We utilize a mix of debt maturities along with both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to manage changes in interest rates. In addition, we enter into interest rate swaps to further manage our exposure to interest rate variations related to our borrowings and to lower our overall borrowing costs.

Currency Exchange Risk Management – We conduct business in several major international currencies and are therefore subject to risks associated with changing foreign exchange rates. We enter into various contracts that change in value as foreign exchange rates change to manage this exposure. Such contracts limit exposure to both favorable and unfavorable currency fluctuations. The translation of foreign currencies into United States dollars also subjects us to exposure related to fluctuating exchange rates; however, derivative instruments are not used to manage this risk.

Commodity Price Risk Management – We are exposed to changes in the price of certain commodities, including steel, natural gas, zinc and other raw materials, and our utility requirements. Our objective is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with forecasted purchases and sales of these commodities to allow management to focus its attention on business operations. Accordingly, we enter into derivative instruments to manage the associated price risk.

We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative instruments. Accordingly, we have established and maintain strict counterparty credit guidelines and enter into derivative instruments only with major financial institutions. We do not have significant exposure to any one counterparty and management believes the risk of loss is remote and, in any event, would not be material.

Refer to “Note O – Fair Value” for additional information regarding the accounting treatment for our derivative instruments, as well as how fair value is determined.

16

The following table summarizes the fair value of our derivative instruments and the respective financial statement caption in which they were recorded in our consolidated balance sheet at August 31, 2013:

	Asset Derivatives			Liability Derivatives
	Balance			Balance
	Sheet	Fair		Sheet	Fair
(in thousands)	Location	Value		Location	Value
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:

Totals		$	878		$	284
Total Derivative Instruments		$	3,183		$	6,313

The amounts in the table above reflect the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts on a net basis. Had these amounts been recognized on a gross basis, the impact would have been a $240,000 increase in receivables with a corresponding increase in accounts payable.

The amounts in the table above reflect the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts on a net basis. Had these amounts been recognized on a gross basis, the impact would have been a $740,000 increase in receivables with a corresponding increase in accounts payable.

Cash Flow Hedges

We enter into derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to interest rate and commodity price fluctuations associated with certain forecasted transactions. These derivative instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same financial statement caption associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in earnings immediately.

The following table summarizes our cash flow hedges outstanding at August 31, 2013:

(in thousands)	Notional Amount		Maturity Date
Commodity contracts	$	37,040	September 2013 - December 2014
Interest rate contracts		100,000	December 2014

The estimated net amount of the losses recognized in accumulated OCI at August 31, 2013 expected to be reclassified into net earnings within the succeeding twelve months is $2,558,000 (net of tax of $1,554,000). This amount was computed using the fair value of the cash flow hedges at August 31, 2013, and will change before actual reclassification from OCI to net earnings during the fiscal years ended May 31, 2014 and 2015.

Economic (Non-designated) Hedges

We enter into foreign currency contracts to manage our foreign exchange exposure related to inter-company and financing transactions that do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting treatment. We also enter into certain commodity contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, these derivative instruments are adjusted to current market value at the end of each period through earnings.

The following table summarizes our economic (non-designated) derivative instruments outstanding at August 31, 2013:

(in thousands)	Notional Amount		Maturity Date(s)
Commodity contracts	$	28,830	September 2013 - December 2014

NOTE O – Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is an exit price concept that assumes an orderly transaction between willing market participants and is required to be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. Current accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy as a basis for considering such assumptions and for classifying the inputs used in the valuation methodologies. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair values are as follows:

Level 1	–	Observable prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2	–	Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 3	–	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

At August 31, 2013, our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

At August 31, 2013, our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis were as follows:

(in thousands)	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Totals

Long-lived assets held and used (1)	$	-	$	11,827	$	-	$	11,827
Total assets	$	-	$	11,827	$	-	$	11,827

(1) During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we determined that certain indicators of impairment were present with regard to certain non-core Steel Processing assets. Recoverability of the identified asset group was tested using future cash flow projections based on management’s estimate of market conditions. The sum of these undiscounted future cash flows was less than the net book value of the asset group. The net book value was also determined to be in excess of fair value and, accordingly, the asset group was written down to its fair value of $11,827,000, resulting in an impairment charge of $4,641,000. This impairment charge was recorded within impairment of long-lived assets in our consolidated statement of earnings. Fair value was determined based on market prices for similar assets.

At May 31, 2013, our assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis were categorized as follows:

(in thousands)	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Totals
Assets
Long-lived assets held and used (1)	$	-	$	6,856	$	-	$	6,856
Total assets	$	-	$	6,856	$	-	$	6,856

(1) During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the long-lived assets of our 60%-owned consolidated joint venture in India, WNCL, were written down to their fair value of $6,856,000, resulting in an impairment charge of $4,968,000. This impairment loss was recorded within impairment of long-lived assets in our consolidated statement of earnings. The portion of this impairment loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest, or $1,987,000, is recorded within net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statement of earnings. Fair value was determined based on market prices for similar assets.

21

The fair value of our foreign currency contracts, commodity contracts and interest rate contracts is based on the present value of the expected future cash flows considering the risks involved, including non-performance risk, and using discount rates appropriate for the respective maturities. Market observable, Level 2 inputs are used to determine the present value of the expected future cash flows. Refer to “NOTE N – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” for additional information regarding our use of derivative instruments.

The fair value of non-derivative financial instruments included in the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, income taxes receivable, other assets, deferred income taxes, accounts payable, short-term borrowings, accrued compensation, contributions to employee benefit plans and related taxes, other accrued items, income taxes payable and other liabilities approximate carrying value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, based upon models utilizing market observable (Level 2) inputs and credit risk, was $411,492,000 and $421,056,000 at August 31, 2013 and May 31, 2013, respectively. The carrying amount of long-term debt, including current maturities, was $407,047,000 and $407,328,000 at August 31, 2013 and May 31, 2013, respectively.

Introduction

The following discussion and analysis of market and industry trends, business developments, and the results of operations and financial position of Worthington Industries, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “our,” “Worthington,” or our “Company”), should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in “Item 1. – Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”) includes additional information about Worthington, our operations and our financial position and should be read in conjunction with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We are primarily a diversified metals manufacturing company, focused on value-added steel processing and manufactured metal products. As of August 31, 2013, excluding our joint ventures, we operated 35 manufacturing facilities worldwide, principally in three reportable business segments: Steel Processing, Pressure Cylinders and Engineered Cabs. Our remaining operating segments, which do not meet the applicable aggregation criteria or quantitative thresholds for separate disclosure, are combined and reported in the “Other” category. These include the Construction Services and Worthington Energy Innovations operating segments.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we made certain organizational changes impacting the internal reporting and management structure of our Steel Packaging operating segment. As a result of these organizational changes, management responsibilities and internal reporting were realigned under our Steel Processing operating segment. Segment information reported in previous periods has been restated to conform to this new presentation.

We also held equity positions in 12 joint ventures, which operated 47 manufacturing facilities worldwide, as of August 31, 2013.

Overview

The Company’s strong performance during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was aided by solid earnings growth in Steel Processing and Pressure Cylinders as well as higher earnings from our joint ventures. Net earnings in the current quarter included an $11.0 million pre-tax gain and a $4.5 million favorable tax adjustment related to the acquisition of an additional 10% interest in the Company’s laser welded blanks joint venture, TWB, as more fully described under Recent Business Developments below.

Volume growth was mixed in the first quarter. Pressure Cylinders volumes were down slightly; however, a more favorable product mix due to a shift to higher priced, lower volume tanks led to a 12% increase in net sales. Steel Processing volumes were up 4% driven by contributions from TWB and improvements in the agriculture and heavy truck markets, which were partially offset by lower tolling volumes.

Engineered Cabs continues to experience soft demand due to lower volumes from key customers. We are responding to the current environment and are implementing a plan to adjust costs accordingly without sacrificing production capacity.

Equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates (“equity income”) during the quarter was up 19% over the prior year period. All of our major joint ventures operated at a profit during the quarter, led by WAVE, ClarkDietrich, and TWB, which contributed $19.7 million, $2.8 million, and $1.8 million of equity income, respectively. TWB’s contribution to equity income decreased $0.8 million, reflecting only two months of activity in the current quarter. As more fully described under Recent Business Developments below, this joint venture was consolidated effective August 1, 2013. We received $26.6 million in distributions from our unconsolidated affiliates during the quarter.

23

The Company continues its strategy of optimizing existing operations through the Transformation, pursuing growth opportunities that add to our current businesses, and developing new products through innovation. We initiated the diagnostics phase of the Transformation Plan in our Pressure Cylinders operating segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, and these efforts are progressing through each facility. Additionally, during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we initiated the diagnostics phase of the Transformation Plan in our Engineered Cabs operating segment.

Recent Business Developments

• On July 31, 2013, we acquired an additional 10% interest in our laser welded blanks joint venture, TWB, increasing our ownership to a 55% controlling interest. As a result, TWB’s results are now consolidated within Steel Processing, with the minority member’s portion of earnings eliminated within earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest. This transaction was accounted for as a step acquisition, which required that we re-measure our previously held 45% ownership interest to fair value and record the difference between fair value and carrying value as a gain in our consolidated statement of earnings. The re-measurement to fair value resulted in a non-cash pre-tax gain of $11.0 million, which is included in miscellaneous income in our consolidated statement of earnings for the three months ended August 31, 2013.

• During the quarter, we repurchased a total of 880,500 common shares for $30.5 million at an average price of $34.66.

• On September 25, 2013, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share payable on December 27, 2013 to shareholders of record on December 13, 2013.

Market & Industry Overview

We sell our products and services to a diverse customer base and a broad range of end markets. The breakdown of our net sales by end market for the first three months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 is illustrated in the following chart:

The automotive industry is one of the largest consumers of flat-rolled steel, and thus the largest end market for our Steel Processing operating segment. Approximately 50% of the net sales of our Steel Processing operating segment are to the automotive market. North American vehicle production, primarily by Chrysler, Ford and General Motors (the “Detroit Three automakers”), has a considerable impact on the activity within this operating segment. The majority of the net sales of four of our unconsolidated joint ventures are also to the automotive end market.

Approximately 10% of the net sales of our Steel Processing operating segment, 53% of the net sales of our Engineered Cabs operating segment and substantially all of the net sales of our Construction Services operating segment are to the construction market. The construction market is also the predominant end market for three of our unconsolidated joint ventures, WAVE, ClarkDietrich and WMSFMCo. While the market price of steel significantly impacts these businesses, there are other key indicators that are meaningful in analyzing construction market demand, including U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”), the Dodge Index of construction contracts, and trends in the relative price of framing lumber and steel.

24

Substantially all of the net sales of our Pressure Cylinders operating segment, and approximately 40% and 47% of the net sales of our Steel Processing and Engineered Cabs operating segments, respectively, are to other markets such as retail, industrial, lawn and garden, agriculture, energy, heavy truck, mining, forestry and appliance. Given the many different products that make up these net sales and the wide variety of end markets, it is very difficult to detail the key market indicators that drive this portion of our business. However, we believe that the trend in U.S. GDP growth is a good economic indicator for analyzing these operating segments.

We use the following information to monitor our costs and demand in our major end markets:

	Three Months Ended August 31,
	2013			2012			Inc / (Dec)
U.S. GDP (% growth year-over-year) 1		1.1	%		3.0	%		-1.9	%

Natural Gas ($ per mcf) 5	$	3.63		$	2.74		$	0.89
On-Highway Diesel Fuel Prices ($ per gallon) 6	$	3.87		$	3.82		$	0.05

U.S. GDP growth rate trends are generally indicative of the strength in demand for our products. A year-over-year increase in U.S. GDP growth rates is indicative of an improving economy, which generally increases demand for our products. Conversely, decreasing U.S. GDP growth rates generally have the opposite effect. Changes in U.S. GDP growth rates can also signal changes in conversion costs related to production and in SG&A expense.

The market price of hot-rolled steel is one of the most significant factors impacting our selling prices and operating results. When steel prices fall, we typically have higher-priced material flowing through cost of goods sold, while selling prices compress to what the market will bear, negatively impacting our results. On the other hand, in a rising price environment, our results are generally favorably impacted, as lower-priced material purchased in previous periods flows through cost of goods sold, while our selling prices increase to cover current replacement costs.

The following table presents the average quarterly market price per ton of hot-rolled steel during fiscal 2014, fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012:

	Fiscal Year
(Dollars per ton 1)	2014		2013		2012
1st Quarter	$	627	$	616	$	709
2nd Quarter		N/A	$	622	$	660
3rd Quarter		N/A	$	629	$	718
4th Quarter		N/A	$	595	$	684
Annual Avg.		N/A	$	616	$	693

¹ CRU Hot-Rolled Index, period average

No single customer contributed more than 10% of our consolidated net sales during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. While our automotive business is largely driven by the production schedules of the Detroit Three automakers, our customer base is much broader and includes other domestic manufacturers and many of their suppliers. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, vehicle production for the Detroit Three automakers was up 3% over the comparable period in the prior year. Additionally, North American vehicle production during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 increased 2% over the comparable period in the prior year.

Certain other commodities, such as zinc, natural gas and diesel fuel, represent a significant portion of our cost of goods sold, both directly through our plant operations and indirectly through transportation and freight expense.

Net earnings attributable to controlling interest	$	54.6			7.9	%	$	34.0			5.1	%	$	20.6

Net earnings attributable to controlling interest for the three months ended August 31, 2013 increased $20.6 million over the comparable period in the prior year. Net sales and operating highlights were as follows:

• Net sales increased $26.3 million from the comparable period in the prior year. Higher overall volumes, aided by acquisitions, favorably impacted net sales by $55.1 million. The impact of higher overall volumes was partially offset by lower average selling prices, primarily in Steel Processing, which negatively impacted net sales by $28.8 million.

• Gross margin increased $17.4 million from the comparable period in the prior year due to the aforementioned acquisitions, a more favorable product mix in Pressure Cylinders and lower inventory holding losses in Steel Processing.

• SG&A expense increased $12.2 million from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to the impact of acquisitions, a $2.0 million legal accrual in the current quarter and higher profit sharing and bonus expense as a result of increased earnings.

• Impairment charges of $4.7 million related to certain non-core assets within Steel Processing. For additional information, refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE O – Fair Value” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

• Restructuring income of $4.0 million was driven by a $4.8 million gain on the sale of our Integrated Terminals warehouse facility in Detroit, Michigan, partially offset by an accrual for severance costs associated with the consolidation of our BernzOmatic hand torch manufacturing operation in Medina, New York into our facility in Chilton, Wisconsin ($0.4 million) and facility exit costs related to the closure of our Commercial Stairs operating segment ($0.4 million). For additional information regarding our restructuring activities, refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE C – Restructuring and Other Expense (Income)” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

26

• Interest expense of $6.2 million was $0.9 million higher than the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to the impact of higher average interest rates.

• Miscellaneous income of $10.9 million included an $11.0 million non-cash gain related to the acquisition of an additional 10% interest in the TWB joint venture. As required by the applicable accounting guidance, the Company recognized a gain for the difference between the fair value of its previously-held interest in TWB and the carrying value of that interest at the acquisition date. For additional information, refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE M – Acquisitions.”

• Equity income increased $4.4 million from the comparable period in the prior year as the equity portion of income from ClarkDietrich, WAVE and ArtiFlex exceeded the prior year quarter by $2.4 million, $1.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively. TWB’s contribution to equity income decreased $0.8 million, reflecting only two months of activity in the current quarter since the acquisition of an additional 10% interest resulted in the consolidation of this joint venture effective August 1, 2013. For additional financial information regarding our unconsolidated affiliates, refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE B – Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

• Income tax expense decreased $2.2 million from the comparable period in the prior year, as the impact of higher earnings was more than offset by higher forecasted tax credits, a higher forecasted deduction for qualified production activities income, and the impact of several discrete tax adjustments. The significant discrete tax adjustments recorded in the current period included: (i) a $1.2 million favorable adjustment for the difference between the actual tax credit earned by one of the Company’s joint ventures and the original amount estimated in the prior year, (ii) a $4.5 million reduction in the estimated U.S. deferred tax liability primarily associated with the unremitted earnings of foreign corporations owned by TWB resulting from the Company acquiring control of TWB (see “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE M – Acquisitions”), and (iii) a $1.4 million deferred tax liability associated with the gain recorded in the TWB transaction. The current quarter expense of $13.9 million was calculated using an estimated annual effective rate of 28.9% versus 32.6% in the prior year quarter. Refer to “Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – NOTE J – Income Taxes” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our tax rates.

Segment Operations

Steel Processing

The following table presents a summary of operating results for our Steel Processing operating segment for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended August 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2013			% of Net sales			2012		% of Net sales			Increase/ (Decrease)
Net sales	$	402.4			100.0	%	$	385.0		100.0	%	$	17.4
Cost of goods sold		351.0			87.2	%		341.8		88.8	%		9.2
Gross margin		51.4			12.8	%		43.2		11.2	%		8.2
Selling, general and administrative expense		28.8			7.2	%		26.5		6.9	%		2.3
Impairment of long-lived assets		4.7			1.2	%		-		0.0	%		4.7

Operating income	$	22.7			5.6	%	$	16.7		4.3	%	$	6.0
Material cost	$	287.7					$	282.1				$	5.6
Tons shipped (in thousands)		720						695					25

Net sales and operating highlights were as follows:

• Net sales increased $17.4 million from the comparable period in the prior year as higher volumes resulting from the consolidation of TWB effective August 1, 2013, and increased sales in the agriculture and heavy truck markets more than offset the impact of lower average selling prices due to a shift in product mix. The mix of direct versus toll tons processed was 58% to 42% this quarter, compared with a 54% to 46% mix in the comparable quarter of the prior year. The change in mix of direct versus toll tons was driven primarily by our Spartan joint venture. As expected, volumes at Spartan were down as a result of our partner moving business to their in-house galvanizing facility. However, volumes have stabilized at the lower level and the business remains solidly profitable.

• Operating income increased $6.0 million driven by an increase in gross margin as a result of lower inventory holding losses in current quarter. The improvement in margin was partially offset by an increase in SG&A expense due to higher profit sharing and bonus expense as a result of increased earnings. Current quarter impairment charges related to certain non-core Steel Processing assets were more than offset by a $4.8 million gain on the sale of our warehouse facility in Detroit, Michigan, which was recorded within restructuring and other income.

Pressure Cylinders

The following table presents a summary of operating results for our Pressure Cylinders operating segment for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended August 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2013		% of Net sales			2012		% of Net sales			Increase/ (Decrease)
Net sales	$	216.9		100.0	%	$	194.2		100.0	%	$	22.7

Gross margin		50.5		23.3	%		38.8		20.0	%		11.7
Selling, general and administrative expense		30.6		14.1	%		22.2		11.4	%		8.4
Impairment of long-lived assets		-		0.0	%		1.6		0.8	%		(1.6	)
Restructuring and other expense		0.4		0.2	%		-		0.0	%		0.4
Operating income	$	19.5		9.0	%	$	15.0		7.7	%	$	4.5
Material cost	$	101.6				$	92.1				$	9.5
Units shipped (in thousands)		20,847					21,469					(622	)

Net sales and operating highlights were as follows:

• Net sales increased $22.7 million from the comparable period in the prior year driven primarily by the impact of prior year acquisitions.

• Operating income was up $4.5 million over the comparable period in the prior year due primarily to improved margin driven by contributions from recent acquisitions, which resulted in a more favorable product mix. The improvement in gross margin was partially offset by an increase in SG&A expense due to the impact of acquisitions and an increase in corporate allocated expenses.

The following table presents a summary of operating results for our Engineered Cabs operating segment for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended August 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2013			% of Net sales			2012		% of Net sales			Increase/ (Decrease)
Net sales	$	48.5			100.0	%	$	64.5		100.0	%	$	(16.0	)
Cost of goods sold		41.9			86.4	%		52.8		81.9	%		(10.9	)
Gross margin		6.6			13.6	%		11.7		18.1	%		(5.1	)
Selling, general and administrative expense		6.9			14.2	%		7.0		10.9	%		(0.1	)
Operating income (loss)	$	(0.3	)		-0.6	%	$	4.7		7.3	%	$	(5.0	)
Material cost	$	22.1					$	32.1				$	(10.0	)

Net sales and operating highlights were as follows:

• Net sales decreased $16.0 million from the comparable period in the prior year driven primarily by lower volumes from key customers, which had lower demand during the quarter.

• Operating income decreased $5.0 million driven almost entirely by lower volumes.

Other

The Other category includes the Construction Services and Worthington Energy Innovations operating segments, as they do not meet the quantitative thresholds for separate disclosure. Certain income and expense items not allocated to our operating segments are also included in the Other category, as is the activity related to the wind-down of our former Metal Framing operating segment. The following table presents a summary of operating results for the Other category for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended August 31,
(Dollars in millions)	2013			% of Net sales			2012			% of Net sales			Increase/ (Decrease)
Net sales	$	24.5			100.0	%	$	22.3			100.0	%	$	2.2
Cost of goods sold		22.0			89.8	%		22.3			100.0	%		(0.3	)
Gross margin		2.5			10.2	%		-			0.0	%		2.5
Selling, general and administrative expense		5.2			21.2	%		3.8			17.0	%		1.4
Restructuring and other expense		0.4			1.6	%		0.4			1.8	%		-

Operating loss	$	(3.2	)		-13.1	%	$	(3.0	)		-13.5	%	$	(0.2	)

Net sales and operating highlights were as follows:

• Net sales increased $2.2 million from the comparable period in the prior year, primarily due to higher volumes in the Energy Innovations operating segment.

• Operating loss of $3.2 million was $0.2 million higher than the comparable period in the prior year, as the increase in gross margin was more than offset by higher SG&A expense and the impact of the joint venture transactions. The increase in SG&A expense was primarily due to a $2.0 million legal accrual in the current quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the three months ended August 31, 2013, we generated $94.5 million of cash from operating activities, invested $13.4 million in property, plant and equipment and paid $30.5 million to repurchase 880,500 of our common shares. The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows for the three months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012:

	Three Months Ended August  31,
(in millions)	2013			2012
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	94.5		$	71.0
Net cash provided (used) by investing activities		52.8			(10.1	)
Net cash used by financing activities		(77.6	)		(71.4	)
Increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		69.7			(10.5	)
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		51.4			41.0
Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	121.1		$	30.5

We believe we have access to adequate resources to meet our needs for normal operating costs, mandatory capital expenditures and debt redemptions, dividend payments and working capital for our existing businesses. These resources include cash and cash equivalents, cash provided by operating activities and unused lines of credit. We also believe that we have adequate access to the financial markets to allow us to be in a position to sell long-term debt or equity securities. However, given the uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, our ability to access capital, and the terms under which we can do so, may change.

30

The cash and cash equivalents balance at August 31, 2013 included $41.0 million of cash held by subsidiaries outside of the United States that the Company intends to indefinitely reinvest. Although the majority of this cash is available for repatriation, bringing the money into the United States could trigger federal, state and local income tax obligations. We do not have any intentions to repatriate this cash.

Operating Activities

Our business is cyclical and cash flows from operating activities may fluctuate during the year and from year to year due to economic conditions. We rely on cash and short-term borrowings to meet cyclical increases in working capital needs. These needs generally rise during periods of increased economic activity or increasing raw material prices due to higher levels of inventory and accounts receivable. During economic slowdowns, or periods of decreasing raw material costs, working capital needs generally decrease as a result of the reduction of inventories and accounts receivable.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $94.5 million during the three months ended August 31, 2013 compared to $71.0 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2013. The difference was driven largely by changes in working capital needs.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $52.8 million during the three months ended August 31, 2013 compared to net cash used of $10.1 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2013. The increase was primarily driven by the acquisition of TWB, as the cash balance at the time of acquisition exceeded the $17.9 million we paid for our additional 10% interest by $53.0 million. Additionally, we received excess distributions from ClarkDietrich of $5.5 million during the three months ended August 31, 2013.

Investment activities are largely discretionary, and future investment activities could be reduced significantly, or eliminated, as economic conditions warrant. We assess acquisition opportunities as they arise, and such opportunities may require additional financing. There can be no assurance, however, that any such opportunities will arise, that any such acquisitions will be consummated, or that any needed additional financing will be available on satisfactory terms when required.

Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities was $77.6 million during the three months ended August 31, 2013. During the current quarter, we repaid $51.5 million of short-term borrowings and paid $30.5 million to repurchase 880,500 of our common shares.

As of August 31, 2013, we were in compliance with our short-term and long-term debt covenants. These debt agreements do not include credit rating triggers or material adverse change provisions. Our credit ratings at August 31, 2013 were unchanged from those reported as of May 31, 2013.

Common shares – The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per common share during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $0.13 per common share during the first quarter of fiscal 2013. On December 10, 2012, the Board declared an accelerated cash dividend for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2013 totaling $0.26 per common share. The dividend was paid on December 28, 2012 to shareholders of record as of December 21, 2012. As a result, no dividends were paid on our common shares during the three months ended August 31, 2013. The dividend declared during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was paid on September 27, 2013 to shareholders of record as of September 13, 2013.

On June 29, 2011, the Board authorized the repurchase of up to 10,000,000 of our outstanding common shares of which 4,222,332 remained available for repurchase at August 31, 2013. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, 880,500 common shares were repurchased under this authorization.

The common shares available for repurchase under the June 29, 2011 authorization may be purchased from time to time, with consideration given to the market price of the common shares, the nature of other investment opportunities, cash flows from operations, general economic conditions and other relevant considerations. Repurchases may be made on the open market or through privately negotiated transactions.

31

Dividend Policy

We currently have no material contractual or regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends. Dividends are declared at the discretion of the Board. The Board reviews the dividend quarterly and establishes the dividend rate based upon our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, current and projected cash flows, business prospects and other relevant factors. While we have paid a dividend every quarter since becoming a public company in 1968, there is no guarantee that payments will continue in the future.

Contractual Cash Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments

Our contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments have not changed significantly from those disclosed in “Part II – Item 7. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Contractual Cash Obligations and Other Commercial Commitments” of our 2013 Form 10-K, other than the changes in borrowings, as described in “Part I – Item 1. – Financial Statements – NOTE F – Debt and Receivables Securitization” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have guarantees or other off-balance sheet financing arrangements that we believe are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. However, as of August 31, 2013, we were party to an operating lease for an aircraft in which we have guaranteed a residual value at the termination of the lease. The maximum obligation under the terms of this guarantee was approximately $13.7 million at August 31, 2013. We have also guaranteed the repayment of a $4.6 million term loan entered into by ArtiFlex, one of our unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition, we had in place $11.7 million of outstanding stand-by letters of credit for third-party beneficiaries as of August 31, 2013. These letters of credit were issued to third-party service providers and had no amounts drawn against them at August 31, 2013. Based on current facts and circumstances, we have estimated the likelihood of payment pursuant to these guarantees, and determined that the fair value of our obligation under each guarantee based on those likely outcomes is not material.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2011, new accounting guidance was issued that establishes certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivatives instruments that are subject to netting arrangements. The new disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those periods. We adopted this new guidance on June 1, 2013, and have provided the required disclosures in “NOTE N – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

In June 2011, new accounting guidance was issued regarding the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This new guidance requires entities to present reclassification adjustments included in other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements and allows entities to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. It also eliminates the option for entities to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. For public companies, this accounting guidance was effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those fiscal years) beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application to prior periods is required. We adopted the effective provisions of this new accounting guidance on June 1, 2012 and have provided the required statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012. In December 2011, certain provisions of this new guidance related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income were temporarily deferred. In February 2013, an effective date was established for the provisions that had been deferred. These provisions are effective prospectively for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2012. We adopted the deferred provisions, which relate to presentation only, on June 1, 2013 and have provided the required disclosures in “NOTE G – Comprehensive Income.” There was no impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In July 2012, amended accounting guidance was issued that simplifies how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amended guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative test unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this amended accounting guidance on June 1, 2013, did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

32

In March 2013, amended accounting guidance was issued regarding the accounting for cumulative translation adjustment. The amended guidance specifies that a cumulative translation adjustment should be released from earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or a group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. For sales of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment attributable to the investment would be recognized in earnings upon sale of the investment. The amended guidance is effective prospectively for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this amended accounting guidance to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to our valuation of receivables, intangible assets, accrued liabilities, income and other tax accruals, and contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily obtained from other sources. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that require our significant judgments and involve uncertainties that could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Although actual results historically have not deviated significantly from those determined using our estimates, our financial position or results of operations could be materially different if we were to report under different conditions or to use different assumptions in the application of such policies. Our critical accounting policies have not significantly changed from those discussed in “Part II – Item 7. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” of our 2013 Form 10-K.

We review our receivables on an ongoing basis to ensure they are properly valued. Based on this review, we believe our reserve for doubtful accounts is adequate. However, if the economic environment and market conditions deteriorate, particularly in the automotive and construction markets where our exposure is greatest, additional reserves may be required. We recognize revenue upon transfer of title and risk of loss provided evidence of an arrangement exists, pricing is fixed and determinable, and the ability to collect is probable. In circumstances where the collection of payment is not probable at the time of shipment, we defer recognition of revenue until payment is collected.

We review the carrying value of our long-lived assets, including intangible assets with finite useful lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable.

Impairment testing involves a comparison of the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group to its respective carrying amount. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows exceeds the carrying amount, then no impairment exists. If the carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows, then a second step is performed to determine the amount of impairment, which would be recorded as an impairment charge in our consolidated statements of earnings.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we determined that certain indicators of impairment were present with regard to certain non-core Steel Processing assets. Recoverability of the identified asset group was tested using future cash flow projections based on management’s estimate of market conditions. The sum of these undiscounted future cash flows was less than the net book value of the asset group. The net book value was also determined to be in excess of fair value and, accordingly, the asset group was written down to its fair value of $11.8 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $4.6 million.

33

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment annually, during the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may be present. Application of goodwill impairment testing involves judgment, including but not limited to, the identification of reporting units and the estimation of the fair value of each reporting unit. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. We test goodwill at the operating segment level as we have determined that the characteristics of the reporting units within each operating segment are similar and allow for their aggregation in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance.

The goodwill impairment test consists of comparing the fair value of each operating segment, determined using discounted cash flows, to each operating segment’s respective carrying value. If the estimated fair value of an operating segment exceeds its carrying value, there is no impairment. If the carrying amount of the operating segment exceeds its estimated fair value, a goodwill impairment is indicated. The amount of the impairment is determined by comparing the fair value of the net assets of the operating segment, excluding goodwill, to its estimated fair value, with the difference representing the implied fair value of the goodwill. If the implied fair value of the goodwill is lower than its carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment charge in the consolidated statements of earnings. No impairment indicators were present with regard to our goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives during the three months ended August  31, 2013.

Item 3. – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risks have not changed significantly from those disclosed in “Part II – Item 7A. – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our 2013 Form 10-K.

Item 4. – Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures [as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)] that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2013). Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2013) in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. – Legal Proceedings

Various legal actions, which generally have arisen in the ordinary course of business, are pending against the Company. None of this pending litigation, individually or collectively, is expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

34

Item 1A. – Risk Factors

There are certain risks and uncertainties in our business that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. In “PART I – Item 1A. – Risk Factors” of the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Worthington Industries, Inc. for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 30, 2013, and available at www.sec.gov or at www.worthingtonindustries.com, we included a detailed discussion of our risk factors. Our risk factors have not changed significantly from those disclosed in our 2013 Form 10-K. These risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and in connection with the forward-looking statements and other information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any of the risks described in our 2013 Form 10-K could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made. The risk factors described in our 2013 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or future results.

Denominator:
Denominator for basic earnings per share attributable to controlling interest – weighted average common shares		69,601		68,278
Effect of dilutive securities		2,482		1,293

Stock options covering 2,671,180 common shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended August 31, 2012, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive, as the exercise price of the stock options was greater than the average market price of the common shares during the period.

Contingent Liabilities

NOTE D – Contingent Liabilities

On August 5, 2013, we tendered to our excess loss carrier, who accepted the tender, a wrongful death claim against the Company involving a MAPP gas cylinder. Pursuant to the tender and its acceptance, our overall exposure related to this matter is limited to $2,000,000. As a result, a pre-tax charge of $2,000,000 was recorded within SG&A expense during the three months ended August 31, 2013.

We are defendants in certain legal actions. In the opinion of management, the outcome of these actions, which is not clearly determinable at the present time, would not significantly affect our consolidated financial position or future results of operations. We believe that environmental issues will not have a material effect on our capital expenditures, consolidated financial position or future results of operations.

Insurance Recoveries

On August 19, 2013, a fire occurred at our Pressure Cylinders facility in Kienberg, Austria, in the building that houses the massing process in the production of acetylene cylinders. The other portions of the Austrian facility were not damaged; however, the massing building sustained extensive damage and was rendered inoperable. We have incurred losses related to the destruction of assets caused by the fire and expect to incur incremental business interruption costs in future periods. The Company has business interruption and property damage insurance. During the three months ended August 31, 2013, the Company recognized charges of $358,000 for the impairment of fixed assets destroyed in the fire. We have determined that the receipt of reimbursement for these costs is probable and in accordance with our insurance policies and, therefore, have recorded a receivable for the recovery of this amount.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

NOTE B – Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

Our investments in affiliated companies that we do not control, either through majority ownership or otherwise, are accounted for using the equity method. At August 31, 2013, these equity investments and the percentage interests owned consisted of: ArtiFlex Manufacturing, LLC (“ArtiFlex”) (50%), ClarkDietrich (25%), Gestamp Worthington Wind Steel, LLC (the “Gestamp JV”) (50%), Samuel Steel Pickling Company (31.25%), Serviacero Planos, S. de R. L. de C.V. (50%), Worthington Armstrong Venture (“WAVE”) (50%), Worthington Modern Steel Framing Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“WMSFMCo.”) (40%), and Worthington Specialty Processing (“WSP”) (51%). WSP is considered to be jointly controlled and not consolidated due to substantive participating rights of the minority partner.

Due to the volatile political environment in the United States, particularly in regards to the Federal Production Tax Credit, the Company is in the process of dissolving the Gestamp JV.

We received distributions from unconsolidated affiliates totaling $26,591,000 during the three months ended August 31, 2013. We have received cumulative distributions from WAVE in excess of our investment balance totaling $61,745,000 and $63,187,000 at August 31, 2013 and May 31, 2013, respectively. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, these excess distributions are reclassified to the liabilities section of our consolidated balance sheet. We will continue to record our equity in the net income of WAVE as a debit to the investment account, and if it becomes positive, it will again be shown as an asset on our consolidated balance sheet. If it becomes obvious that any excess distribution may not be returned (upon joint venture liquidation or otherwise), we will recognize any balance classified as a liability as income immediately.

We use the “cumulative earnings” approach for determining cash flow presentation of distributions from our unconsolidated joint ventures. Distributions received are included in our consolidated statements of cash flows as operating activities, unless the cumulative distributions exceed our portion of the cumulative equity in the net earnings of the joint venture, in which case the excess distributions are deemed to be returns of the investment and are classified as investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. During the three months ended August 31, 2013, we received excess distributions from ClarkDietrich of $5,555,000.

Guarantees

NOTE E – Guarantees

We do not have guarantees that we believe are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. However, as of August 31, 2013, we were party to an operating lease for an aircraft in which we have guaranteed a residual value at the termination of the lease. The maximum obligation under the terms of this guarantee was approximately $13,715,000 at August 31, 2013. We have also guaranteed the repayment of a $4,583,000 term loan entered into by one of our unconsolidated affiliates, ArtiFlex. Based on current facts and circumstances, we have estimated the likelihood of payment pursuant to these guarantees, and determined that the fair value of our obligation under each guarantee based on those likely outcomes is not material and therefore no amounts have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements.

We also had in place $11,732,000 of outstanding stand-by letters of credit for third-party beneficiaries as of August 31, 2013. These letters of credit were issued to third-party service providers and had no amounts drawn against them at August 31, 2013. The fair value of these guarantee instruments, based on premiums paid, was not material, and therefore no amounts have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements.

Restructuring and Other Expense (Income)

Restructuring and Other Expense (Income)

NOTE C – Restructuring and Other Expense (Income)

In fiscal 2008, we initiated a Transformation Plan (the “Transformation Plan”) with the overall goal to improve our sustainable earnings potential, asset utilization and operational performance. The Transformation Plan focuses on cost reduction, margin expansion and organizational capability improvements and, in the process, seeks to drive excellence in three core competencies: sales; operations; and supply chain management. The Transformation Plan is comprehensive in scope and includes aggressive diagnostic and implementation phases. When this process began, we retained a consulting firm to assist in the development and implementation of the Transformation Plan. As the Transformation Plan progressed, we formed internal teams dedicated to this effort, and they ultimately assumed full responsibility for executing the Transformation Plan. Although the consulting firm was again engaged as we rolled out the Transformation Plan in our Pressure Cylinders operating segment, most of the work is now being done by our internal teams. These internal teams are now an integral part of our business and constitute what we refer to as the Centers of Excellence (“COE”). The COE will continue to monitor the performance metrics and new processes instituted across our transformed operations and drive continuous improvements in all areas of our operations. The majority of the expenses related to the COE will be included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense going forward, except where they relate to a first time diagnostics phase of the Transformation Plan.

To date, we have completed the transformation phases in each of the core facilities within our Steel Processing operating segment, including the facilities of our Mexican joint venture. We also substantially completed the transformation phases at our metal framing facilities prior to their contribution to ClarkDietrich. Transformation efforts within our Pressure Cylinders and Engineered Cabs operating segments, which began during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal 2013, respectively, are ongoing.

A progression of the liabilities associated with our restructuring activities, combined with a reconciliation to the restructuring and other expense (income) financial statement caption in our consolidated statement of earnings for the three months ended August 31, 2013 is summarized as follows:

(in thousands)	Beginning Balance		Expense			Payments			Adjustments		Ending Balance
Early retirement and severance	$	5,029	$	402		$	(441	)	$	-	$	4,990
Facility exit and other costs		1,200		505			(380	)		-		1,325
	$	6,229		907		$	(821	)	$	-	$	6,315
Gain on asset disposal				(4,762	)
Less: joint venture transactions				(142	)
Restructuring and other expense (income)			$	(3,997	)

The following discussion summarizes the restructuring activities that occurred during the three months ended August 31, 2013:

• In connection with the wind-down of our former Metal Framing operating segment, we recognized $142,000 of facility exit and other costs. These costs were recognized within the joint venture transactions financial statement caption in our consolidated statements of earnings to correspond with amounts previously recognized in connection with the formation of ClarkDietrich and the subsequent wind-down of our former Metal Framing operating segment.

• In connection with the closure of our commercial stairs business, we incurred facility exit charges of approximately $363,000.

• In connection with the consolidation of the BernzOmatic hand torch manufacturing operation in Medina, New York into the existing Pressure Cylinders’ facility in Chilton, Wisconsin, we recognized an additional $402,000 accrual for expected employee severance costs. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we recognized a $2,488,000 accrual for expected severance costs related to this matter.

• On June 30, 2013, the Company completed the sale of Integrated Terminals, its warehouse facility in Detroit, Michigan, for cash proceeds of $7,457,000, resulting in a gain of approximately $4,762,000.

Approximately $4,794,000 of the total liability is expected to be paid in the next twelve months. The remaining liability, which consists of lease termination costs and certain severance benefits, will be paid through September 2016.

At August 31, 2013, our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis were as follows:

(in thousands)	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Totals

Total assets	$	-	$	11,827	$	-	$	11,827

(1) During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we determined that certain indicators of impairment were present with regard to certain non-core Steel Processing assets. Recoverability of the identified asset group was tested using future cash flow projections based on management’s estimate of market conditions. The sum of these undiscounted future cash flows was less than the net book value of the asset group. The net book value was also determined to be in excess of fair value and, accordingly, the asset group was written down to its fair value of $11,827,000, resulting in an impairment charge of $4,641,000. This impairment charge was recorded within impairment of long-lived assets in our consolidated statement of earnings. Fair value was determined based on market prices for similar assets.

At May 31, 2013, our assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis were categorized as follows:

(in thousands)	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Totals

(1) During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the long-lived assets of our 60%-owned consolidated joint venture in India, WNCL, were written down to their fair value of $6,856,000, resulting in an impairment charge of $4,968,000. This impairment loss was recorded within impairment of long-lived assets in our consolidated statement of earnings. The portion of this impairment loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest, or $1,987,000, is recorded within net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statement of earnings. Fair value was determined based on market prices for similar assets.

Income Taxes

3 Months Ended

Income Taxes

NOTE J – Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the three months ended August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012 reflected estimated annual effective income tax rates of 28.9% and 32.6%, respectively. The annual effective income tax rates exclude any impact from the inclusion of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statements of earnings. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest is primarily a result of our Spartan and TWB consolidated joint ventures. The earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Spartan and TWB’s U.S. operations do not generate tax expense to Worthington since the investors in Spartan and TWB’s U.S. operations are taxed directly based on the earnings attributable to them. For financial reporting purposes, as a result of consolidating TWB beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 (see “NOTE M – Acquisitions”), 100% of the tax expense of TWB’s foreign operations is included in the Company’s reported income tax expense, and is therefore included in the estimated annual effective income tax rate. Management is required to estimate the annual effective income tax rate based upon its forecast of annual pre-tax income for domestic and foreign operations. Our actual effective income tax rate for fiscal 2014 could be materially different from the forecasted rate as of August 31, 2013.

Debt and Receivables Securitization

Debt and Receivables Securitization

NOTE F – Debt and Receivables Securitization

We have a $425,000,000 multi-year revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a group of lenders that matures in May 2017. Borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility were $18,000,000 at August 31, 2013. Additionally, as discussed in “NOTE E – Guarantees,” we provided $11,732,000 in stand-by letters of credit for third-party beneficiaries as of August 31, 2013. While not drawn against, these letters of credit are issued against availability under the Credit Facility, leaving $395,268,000 available at August 31, 2013.

Current borrowings under this revolving Credit Facility have maturities of less than one year, and given that we intend to repay them within the next year, they have been classified as short-term borrowings in our consolidated balance sheet. However, we can extend the term of amounts borrowed by renewing these borrowings for the term of the Credit Facility. We have the option to borrow at rates equal to an applicable margin over the LIBOR, Prime or Fed Funds rates. The applicable margin is determined by our credit rating. At August 31, 2013, the applicable variable rate, based on LIBOR, was 1.23%.

We also maintain a $100,000,000 revolving trade accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”), which expires in January 2015. The AR Facility has been available throughout fiscal 2014 to date, and was available throughout fiscal 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the AR Facility, certain of our subsidiaries sell their accounts receivable without recourse, on a revolving basis, to Worthington Receivables Corporation (“WRC”), a wholly-owned, consolidated, bankruptcy-remote subsidiary. In turn, WRC may sell without recourse, on a revolving basis, up to $100,000,000 of undivided ownership interests in this pool of accounts receivable to a multi-seller, asset-backed commercial paper conduit (the “Conduit”). Purchases by the Conduit are financed with the sale of A1/P1 commercial paper. We retain an undivided interest in this pool and are subject to risk of loss based on the collectability of the receivables from this retained interest. Because the amount eligible to be sold excludes receivables more than 90 days past due, receivables offset by an allowance for doubtful accounts due to bankruptcy or other cause, concentrations over certain limits with specific customers and certain reserve amounts, we believe additional risk of loss is minimal. The book value of the retained portion of the pool of accounts receivable approximates fair value. As of August 31, 2013, the pool of eligible accounts receivable exceeded the $100,000,000 limit, and $40,000,000 of undivided ownership interests in this pool of accounts receivable had been sold.

The remaining balance of short-term borrowings at August 31, 2013 consisted of $4,187,000 outstanding under a $9,500,000 credit facility maintained by our consolidated affiliate, WNCL. This credit facility matures in November 2013 and bears interest at a variable rate. The applicable variable rate was 2.25% at August 31, 2013. We plan to renew this credit facility prior to its expiration.

Basis of Presentation

NOTE A – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Worthington Industries, Inc. and consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “we”, “our”, “Worthington” or the “Company”). Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.

Spartan Steel Coating, LLC (“Spartan”), TWB Company, L.L.C. (“TWB”), Worthington Energy Innovations, LLC (“WEI”), and Worthington Nitin Cylinders Limited (“WNCL”) in which we own controlling interests of 52%, 55%, 75%, and 60%, respectively, are consolidated with the equity owned by the other joint venture members shown as noncontrolling interest in our consolidated balance sheets, and the other joint venture members’ portion of net earnings shown as net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statements of earnings. As more fully described in “NOTE M – Acquisitions,” on July 31, 2013, we purchased an additional 10% interest in TWB for $17,869,000, increasing our ownership to a 55% controlling interest. As a result, TWB’s results have been consolidated within the Steel Processing operating segment since the acquisition date.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations of these interim periods, have been included. Operating results for the three months ended August 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2014 (“fiscal 2014”). For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”) of Worthington Industries, Inc. (the “2013 Form 10-K”).

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

Joint Venture Transactions

On March 1, 2011, we joined with ClarkWestern Building Systems Inc. to form Clarkwestern Dietrich Building Systems LLC (“ClarkDietrich”), a joint venture that manufactures a full line of drywall studs and accessories, structural studs and joists, metal lath and accessories, and shaft wall studs and track used primarily in residential and commercial construction. We contributed our metal framing business and related working capital in exchange for a 25% ownership interest in ClarkDietrich. As we do not have a controlling interest in ClarkDietrich, our investment in this joint venture is accounted for under the equity method, and the contributed net assets were deconsolidated effective March 1, 2011.

We retained and continued to operate the remaining metal framing facilities (the “retained facilities”), on a short-term basis, to support the transition of the business into ClarkDietrich. The buildings and equipment associated with the majority of these facilities were sold during fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012. The remaining facilities are expected to be sold during fiscal 2014 and actions to locate buyers are ongoing. As the other relevant criteria for classification as assets held for sale have been satisfied, the $3,309,000 carrying value of these asset groups, which consist primarily of property, plant and equipment, is presented separately in our consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 2013.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2011, new accounting guidance was issued that establishes certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivatives instruments that are subject to netting arrangements. The new disclosures are required for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those periods. We adopted this new guidance on June 1, 2013, and have provided the required disclosures in “NOTE N – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

In June 2011, new accounting guidance was issued regarding the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. This new guidance requires entities to present reclassification adjustments included in other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements and allows entities to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. It also eliminates the option for entities to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. For public companies, this accounting guidance was effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within those fiscal years) beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application to prior periods is required. We adopted the effective provisions of this new accounting guidance on June 1, 2012 and have provided the required statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012. In December 2011, certain provisions of this new guidance related to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income were temporarily deferred. In February 2013, an effective date was established for the provisions that had been deferred. These provisions are effective prospectively for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2012. We adopted the deferred provisions, which relate to presentation only, on June 1, 2013 and have provided the required disclosures in “NOTE G – Comprehensive Income.” There was no impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In July 2012, amended accounting guidance was issued that simplifies how an entity tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The amended guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test. An entity will no longer be required to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative test unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amended guidance is effective for interim and annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this amended accounting guidance on June 1, 2013, did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In March 2013, amended accounting guidance was issued regarding the accounting for cumulative translation adjustment. The amended guidance specifies that a cumulative translation adjustment should be released from earnings when an entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or a group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity. For sales of an equity method investment that is a foreign entity, a pro rata portion of the cumulative translation adjustment attributable to the investment would be recognized in earnings upon sale of the investment. The amended guidance is effective prospectively for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this amended accounting guidance to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

[1] During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we determined that certain indicators of impairment were present with regard to certain non-core Steel Processing assets. Recoverability of the identified asset group was tested using future cash flow projections based on management's estimate of market conditions. The sum of these undiscounted future cash flows was less than the net book value of the asset group. The net book value was also determined to be in excess of fair value and, accordingly, the asset group was written down to its fair value of $11,827,000, resulting in an impairment charge of $4,641,000. This impairment charge was recorded within impairment of long-lived assets in our consolidated statement of earnings. Fair value was determined based on market prices for similar assets.

[2] During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the long-lived assets of our 60%-owned consolidated joint venture in India, WNCL, were written down to their fair value of $6,856,000, resulting in an impairment charge of $4,968,000. This impairment loss was recorded within impairment of long-lived assets in our consolidated statement of earnings. The portion of this impairment loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest, or $1,987,000, is recorded within net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statement of earnings. Fair value was determined based on market prices for similar assets.

Acquisitions

NOTE M – Acquisitions

On July 31, 2013, we purchased an additional 10% interest in our laser welded blanks joint venture, TWB, for $17,869,000, increasing our ownership to a 55% controlling interest. This transaction was accounted for as a step acquisition, which required that we re-measure our previously held 45% ownership interest to fair value and record the difference between fair value and carrying value as a gain in our consolidated statement of earnings. The re-measurement to fair value resulted in a non-cash pre-tax gain of $11,000,000, which is included in miscellaneous income in our consolidated statement of earnings for the three months ended August 31, 2013. The acquired net assets became part of our Steel Processing operating segment upon closing.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recognized at their acquisition-date fair values. In connection with the acquisition of TWB, we identified and valued the following identifiable intangible assets:

(in thousands)			Useful  Life (Years)
Category	Amount
Customer relationships	$	17,438		5-6
Trade names		4,120		Indefinite
Non-compete agreement		470		Indefinite
Total acquired identifiable intangible assets	$	22,028

The purchase price includes the fair values of other assets that were not identifiable, not separately recognizable under accounting rules (e.g., assembled workforce) or of immaterial value. The estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed approximated the purchase price and therefore no goodwill was recognized.

The following table summarizes the consideration transferred for our 55% controlling interest in TWB and the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

(in thousands)
Consideration Transferred:
Cash consideration	$	17,869
Fair value of previously held interest in TWB		72,369
Total consideration	$	90,238
Estimated Fair Value of Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	70,826
Accounts receivable		52,012
Inventories		20,403
Prepaid expenses and other current assets		4,027
Intangible assets		22,028

Deferred taxes		(2,109	)
Net assets		162,607
Noncontrolling interest		(72,369	)
Total consideration	$	90,238

The fair value of our previously held equity interest and the noncontrolling interest was derived using a market approach, and included a minority discount of 10% to reflect management’s estimate of the control premium.

Operating results of TWB have been included in our consolidated statements of earnings from the acquisition date, forward. For periods prior to the acquisition date, our portion of the equity in the net income of TWB was included within equity in net income of unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statements of earnings. Pro forma results, including the acquired business since the beginning of fiscal 2013, would not be materially different than reported results.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

NOTE I – Stock-Based Compensation

Non-Qualified Stock Options

During the three months ended August 31, 2013, we granted non-qualified stock options covering a total of 121,200 common shares under our stock-based compensation plans. The weighted average option price of $31.71 per share was equal to the market price of the underlying common shares at the grant date. The fair value of these stock options, based on the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, calculated at the grant date, was $12.92 per share. The calculated pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for these stock options, after an estimate for forfeitures, is $1,435,000 and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period. The following assumptions were used to value these stock options:

Dividend yield	2.28	%
Expected volatility	52.23	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.69	%
Expected term (years)	6.0

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common shares and the risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury strip rate for the expected term of the stock options. The expected term was developed using historical exercise experience.

Restricted Common Shares

During the three months ended August 31, 2013, we granted 111,000 restricted common shares under our stock-based compensation plans. The fair values of these restricted common shares were equal to the closing market prices of the underlying common shares on the date of grant, or $31.71 per share. The calculated pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for these restricted common shares is $3,150,000 and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year vesting period.

Market-Based Restricted Common Shares

During the three months ended August 31, 2013, we granted 360,000 restricted common shares to certain key employees under our stock-based compensation plans. Vesting of these restricted common share awards is contingent upon the price of our common shares reaching $50.00 per share and remaining at or above that price for 30 consecutive days and the completion of a three-year service vesting period. The grant-date fair value of these restricted common shares, as determined by a Monte Carlo simulation model, was $24.19 per share. The Monte Carlo simulation model is a statistical technique that incorporates multiple assumptions to determine the probability that the market condition will be achieved. The following assumptions were used to determine the grant-date fair value and the derived service period for these restricted common shares:

Dividend yield	2.28	%
Expected volatility	53.40	%
Risk-free interest rate	1.41	%

The calculated pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for these restricted common shares was determined to be $8,708,000 and will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the three-year service vesting period.

Cash Flow Hedges

Cash Flow Hedges

We enter into derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to interest rate and commodity price fluctuations associated with certain forecasted transactions. These derivative instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same financial statement caption associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in earnings immediately.

Economic (Non-designated) Hedges

Economic (Non-designated) Hedges

We enter into foreign currency contracts to manage our foreign exchange exposure related to inter-company and financing transactions that do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting treatment. We also enter into certain commodity contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, these derivative instruments are adjusted to current market value at the end of each period through earnings.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

3 Months Ended

Aug. 31, 2013

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

NOTE N – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We utilize derivative financial instruments to manage exposure to certain risks related to our ongoing operations. The primary risks managed through the use of derivative instruments include interest rate risk, currency exchange risk and commodity price risk. While certain of our derivative instruments are designated as hedging instruments, we also enter into derivative instruments that are designed to hedge a risk, but are not designated as hedging instruments and therefore do not qualify for hedge accounting. These derivative instruments are adjusted to current fair value through earnings at the end of each period.

Interest Rate Risk Management – We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes. Our objective is to manage the impact of interest rate changes on cash flows and the market value of our borrowings. We utilize a mix of debt maturities along with both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to manage changes in interest rates. In addition, we enter into interest rate swaps to further manage our exposure to interest rate variations related to our borrowings and to lower our overall borrowing costs.

Currency Exchange Risk Management – We conduct business in several major international currencies and are therefore subject to risks associated with changing foreign exchange rates. We enter into various contracts that change in value as foreign exchange rates change to manage this exposure. Such contracts limit exposure to both favorable and unfavorable currency fluctuations. The translation of foreign currencies into United States dollars also subjects us to exposure related to fluctuating exchange rates; however, derivative instruments are not used to manage this risk.

Commodity Price Risk Management – We are exposed to changes in the price of certain commodities, including steel, natural gas, zinc and other raw materials, and our utility requirements. Our objective is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with forecasted purchases and sales of these commodities to allow management to focus its attention on business operations. Accordingly, we enter into derivative instruments to manage the associated price risk.

We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative instruments. Accordingly, we have established and maintain strict counterparty credit guidelines and enter into derivative instruments only with major financial institutions. We do not have significant exposure to any one counterparty and management believes the risk of loss is remote and, in any event, would not be material.

Refer to “Note O – Fair Value” for additional information regarding the accounting treatment for our derivative instruments, as well as how fair value is determined.

The following table summarizes the fair value of our derivative instruments and the respective financial statement caption in which they were recorded in our consolidated balance sheet at August 31, 2013:

	Asset Derivatives			Liability Derivatives
	Balance			Balance
	Sheet	Fair		Sheet	Fair

Cash Flow Hedges

We enter into derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to interest rate and commodity price fluctuations associated with certain forecasted transactions. These derivative instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same financial statement caption associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in earnings immediately.

The following table summarizes our cash flow hedges outstanding at August 31, 2013:

(in thousands)	Notional Amount		Maturity Date
Commodity contracts	$	37,040	September 2013 - December 2014
Interest rate contracts		100,000	December 2014

The following table summarizes the gain (loss) recognized in OCI and the gain (loss) reclassified from accumulated OCI into earnings for derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges during the three months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012:

(in thousands)	Gain  (Loss) Recognized in OCI (Effective Portion)			Location of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI (Effective Portion)	Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI (Effective Portion)			Location of Gain (Loss) (Ineffective Portion) and Excluded from Effectiveness Testing	Gain (Loss) (Ineffective Portion) and Excluded from Effectiveness Testing
For the three months ended August 31, 2013:
Interest rate contracts	$	(203	)	Interest expense	$	(1,063	)	Interest expense	$	-
Commodity contracts		3,644		Cost of goods sold		(316	)	Cost of goods sold		-
Totals	$	3,441			$	(1,379	)		$	-
For the three months ended August 31, 2012:
Interest rate contracts	$	(606	)	Interest expense	$	(983	)	Interest expense	$	-
Commodity contracts		428		Cost of goods sold		(419	)	Cost of goods sold		-
Totals	$	(178	)		$	(1,402	)		$	-

The estimated net amount of the losses recognized in accumulated OCI at August 31, 2013 expected to be reclassified into net earnings within the succeeding twelve months is $2,558,000 (net of tax of $1,554,000). This amount was computed using the fair value of the cash flow hedges at August 31, 2013, and will change before actual reclassification from OCI to net earnings during the fiscal years ended May 31, 2014 and 2015.

Economic (Non-designated) Hedges

We enter into foreign currency contracts to manage our foreign exchange exposure related to inter-company and financing transactions that do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting treatment. We also enter into certain commodity contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Accordingly, these derivative instruments are adjusted to current market value at the end of each period through earnings.

The following table summarizes our economic (non-designated) derivative instruments outstanding at August 31, 2013:

(in thousands)	Notional Amount		Maturity Date(s)
Commodity contracts	$	28,830	September 2013 - December 2014

The following table summarizes the gain (loss) recognized in earnings for economic (non-designated) derivative financial instruments during the three months ended August 31, 2013 and 2012:

	Location of Gain  (Loss)         Recognized in Earnings	Gain (Loss) Recognized in Earnings for the Three Months Ended August 31,
(in thousands)		2013			2012
Commodity contracts	Cost of goods sold	$	676		$	1,813
Foreign exchange contracts	Miscellaneous income (expense)		(5	)		(863	)
Total		$	671		$	950

The gain (loss) on the foreign currency derivatives significantly offsets the gain (loss) on the hedged item.

Fair Value

NOTE O – Fair Value

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is an exit price concept that assumes an orderly transaction between willing market participants and is required to be based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. Current accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy as a basis for considering such assumptions and for classifying the inputs used in the valuation methodologies. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair values are as follows:

Level 1	–	Observable prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2	–	Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 3	–	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

At August 31, 2013, our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

At August 31, 2013, our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis were as follows:

(in thousands)	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Totals
Assets
Long-lived assets held and used (1)	$	-	$	11,827	$	-	$	11,827
Total assets	$	-	$	11,827	$	-	$	11,827

(1) During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, we determined that certain indicators of impairment were present with regard to certain non-core Steel Processing assets. Recoverability of the identified asset group was tested using future cash flow projections based on management’s estimate of market conditions. The sum of these undiscounted future cash flows was less than the net book value of the asset group. The net book value was also determined to be in excess of fair value and, accordingly, the asset group was written down to its fair value of $11,827,000, resulting in an impairment charge of $4,641,000. This impairment charge was recorded within impairment of long-lived assets in our consolidated statement of earnings. Fair value was determined based on market prices for similar assets.

At May 31, 2013, our assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis were categorized as follows:

(in thousands)	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Totals
Assets
Long-lived assets held and used (1)	$	-	$	6,856	$	-	$	6,856
Total assets	$	-	$	6,856	$	-	$	6,856

(1) During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the long-lived assets of our 60%-owned consolidated joint venture in India, WNCL, were written down to their fair value of $6,856,000, resulting in an impairment charge of $4,968,000. This impairment loss was recorded within impairment of long-lived assets in our consolidated statement of earnings. The portion of this impairment loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest, or $1,987,000, is recorded within net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest in our consolidated statement of earnings. Fair value was determined based on market prices for similar assets.

The fair value of our foreign currency contracts, commodity contracts and interest rate contracts is based on the present value of the expected future cash flows considering the risks involved, including non-performance risk, and using discount rates appropriate for the respective maturities. Market observable, Level 2 inputs are used to determine the present value of the expected future cash flows. Refer to “NOTE N – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” for additional information regarding our use of derivative instruments.

The fair value of non-derivative financial instruments included in the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, income taxes receivable, other assets, deferred income taxes, accounts payable, short-term borrowings, accrued compensation, contributions to employee benefit plans and related taxes, other accrued items, income taxes payable and other liabilities approximate carrying value due to their short-term nature. The fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, based upon models utilizing market observable (Level 2) inputs and credit risk, was $411,492,000 and $421,056,000 at August 31, 2013 and May 31, 2013, respectively. The carrying amount of long-term debt, including current maturities, was $407,047,000 and $407,328,000 at August 31, 2013 and May 31, 2013, respectively.
