Condensed Notes to COMBINED Financial Statements (UNAUDITED)
Note A – Worthington Steel Separation, Description of Business, and Basis of Presentation
Fiscal Periods
Our fiscal year and fourth quarter ends on May 31, with “fiscal 2023” ended on May 31, 2023, and “fiscal 2024” ending on May 31, 2024. Our other quarterly periods end on the final day of August (first quarter), November (second quarter) and February (third quarter).
Worthington Steel Separation
On September 29, 2022, Worthington Industries, Inc. (“Worthington Industries,” “Worthington Enterprises, Inc.” or “Parent”) announced its intention to spin off its existing steel processing business, Worthington Steel, Inc. (“Worthington Steel,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) into a stand-alone publicly traded company through a tax-free pro rata distribution of
On November 30, 2023, in connection with the Separation, we entered into several agreements with Worthington Enterprises, Inc. that govern the relationship between Worthington Enterprises, Inc. and us following the Distribution, including a Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, and Transition Services Agreement.
Direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with the Separation, including (a) fees paid to third parties for audit, advisory, and legal services to effect the Separation, (b) non-recurring employee-related costs, such as retention bonuses, and (c) non-recurring functional costs associated with shared corporate functions (collectively, the “Separation Costs”) are presented separately in our combined statements of earnings. Separation Costs totaled $
Description of the Business
We are one of North America’s premier value-added steel processors with the ability to provide a diversified range of products and services that span a variety of end markets. We maintain market leading positions in the North American carbon flat-rolled steel and tailor welded blank industries and are one of the largest global producers of electrical steel laminations. For nearly
Basis of Presentation
Throughout the periods covered by the combined financial statements, we operated as a business of Parent. Our combined financial statements are prepared on a carve-out basis using the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Parent in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Our combined financial statements include the historical operations that comprise our business and reflect significant assumptions and allocations as well as certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held at Parent’s corporate level but are specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to us. The carve-out

financial statements may not include all expenses that would have been incurred had we existed as a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.
The combined financial statements include the accounts of Worthington Steel and its consolidated subsidiaries. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method. Material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
We own controlling interests in the following
Our operations are managed principally on a products and services basis under a single group organizational structure. After the Separation, the financial information reviewed by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources will be presented as a single component, or operating segment, and comprises all of the Company’s operations. The Company’s CODM will be its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).
The income tax provision in the carve-out statement of earnings has been calculated as if we were operating on a stand-alone basis and filed separate tax returns in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Therefore, cash tax payments and items of current and deferred taxes may not be reflective of our actual tax balances prior to or subsequent to the carve-out.
Transactions and accounts which have occurred within the Company have been eliminated, based on historical intracompany activity. Parent’s net investment in these operations, including intercompany transactions between Parent and us, are reflected as Net Worthington Enterprises, Inc. investment on the accompanying combined financial statements. Certain situations require management to make estimates based on judgments and assumptions, which may affect the reported amounts of assets and respective disclosures at the date of the financial statements. Management’s judgments and assumptions may also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Our combined financial statements include certain costs of doing business incurred by Parent at the corporate level. These costs are for (1) certain corporate support functions provided on a centralized basis, including information technology, human resources, finance, and corporate operations, amongst others, (2) profit sharing and bonuses, and (3) respective surpluses and shortfalls of various planned insurance expenses. These costs are included in the combined statements of earnings, primarily within selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”). These expenses have been allocated to us on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remaining allocated using related drivers associated with the nature of the business, such as, headcount or profitability, considering the characteristics of each respective cost. Management believes the assumptions regarding the allocation of Parent’s general corporate expenses are reasonable.
All other third party-debt and related interest expense not directly attributable to the Company have been excluded from the combined financial statements because we are not the legal obligor of the debt and the borrowings are not specifically identifiable to us. Additionally, as described in “Note P – Related Party Transactions”, debt and related interest expense between Parent and TWB has been attributed to the us, as we are both the legal obligor and directly benefited from the borrowings.
Additionally, Parent incurred Separation Costs that have been directly attributed to us to the extent incurred to our direct benefit and are presented separately in our combined statements of earnings.
Our combined financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred and may not reflect our combined results of earnings, balance sheet, and cash flows had we operated as a standalone company during the periods presented. Management considers these cost allocations to be reasonably reflective of our utilization of Parent’s corporate support services. Actual costs that would have been incurred if we had been a stand-alone company may have been different than these estimates during the periods presented.
Parent utilizes a centralized cash management program to manage cash for the majority of its entities. For entities that are enrolled in the program, all cash is swept into a cash pool. Accordingly, the cash and cash equivalents held by Parent at the corporate level were not attributed to us for any of the periods presented. Our foreign operations do not participate in the centralized cash management program. These cash amounts are specifically attributable to Worthington Steel and therefore are reflected in the accompanying combined balance sheets. Transfers of cash, both to and from Parent’s centralized cash management program, are reflected as a
6
component of Net Worthington Enterprises, Inc. investment on the accompanying combined balance sheets and as a financing activity on the accompanying combined statements of cash flows.
We sell our products and services to a diverse customer base and a broad range of end markets. The automotive industry is the largest end market for us and our unconsolidated joint venture, Serviacero Planos, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Serviacero Worthington”), with sales representing
These unaudited combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by 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 Form 10-Q, necessary for a fair presentation of the combined financial statements for these interim periods, have been included. Operating results for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2024 (“fiscal 2024”). For further information, refer to the combined financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10.
The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Note D – Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we committed to plans to liquidate certain fixed assets at our WSCP joint venture’s toll processing facility in Cleveland, Ohio. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the net assets were recorded at the lower of net book value or fair market value less costs to sell resulting in a pre-tax impairment charge of $

Note E – Restructuring and Other Income, Net
We consider restructuring activities to be programs whereby we fundamentally change our operations, such as divestitures, closing or consolidating facilities, employee severance (including rationalizing headcount or other significant changes in personnel), and realignment of existing operations (including changes to management structure in response to underlying performance and/or changing market conditions).

We do not believe that any such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

Note K – Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was
The provision for income taxes is based on a current estimate of the annual effective income tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items and excludes any impact from the inclusion of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in our combined statements of earnings. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests are a result of our consolidated joint ventures. The net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests in the U.S. operations of our consolidated joint ventures and do not generate tax expense to us since the investors are taxed directly based on the earnings attributable to the investors. The tax expense of TWB’s wholly-owned foreign corporations is reported in our combined income tax expense. 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 2024 could be materially different from the forecasted rate as of November 30, 2023.

Note M – Acquisitions
Voestalpine Automotive Components Nagold GmbH & Co. KG
On
The information included herein has been prepared based on the preliminary allocation of the purchase price using estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired. The purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment until we fully evaluate all pertinent information regarding the assets acquired.
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 purchase price also includes strategic benefits specific to us, which resulted in a purchase price in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes.
The results of operations of Voestalpine have been included in our combined statements of earnings since the date of acquisition. Proforma results, including the acquired business since the beginning of fiscal 2023, would not be materially different from the reported results.
Note N – Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
We utilize derivative financial instruments to primarily manage exposure to certain risks related to our ongoing operations. The primary risks managed through the use of derivative financial instruments include foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk. While certain of our derivative financial instruments are designated as hedging instruments, we also enter into derivative financial 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 financial instruments are adjusted to current fair value through earnings at the end of each period.
Commodity Price Risk Management – We are exposed to changes in the price of certain commodities, including steel, 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 financial instruments to manage the associated price risk.
We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative financial instruments. Accordingly, we have established and maintain strict counterparty credit guidelines. We have credit support agreements in place with certain counterparties to limit our credit exposure. These agreements require either party to post cash collateral if its cumulative market position exceeds a predefined liability threshold. Amounts posted to the margin accounts accrue interest at market rates and are required to be refunded in the period in which the cumulative market position falls below the required threshold. We do not have significant exposure to any one counterparty, and management believes the overall 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 financial instruments, as well as how fair value is determined.
The following table summarizes the fair value of our derivative financial instruments and the respective lines in which they were recorded in the combined balance sheet at November 30, 2023:

Cash Flow Hedges
We enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to commodity price fluctuations associated with certain forecasted transactions. These derivative financial instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the effective portion of the gain or loss on each of these derivative financial instruments is reported as a component of OCI and reclassified into earnings in the same line 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 financial instrument is recognized in earnings immediately.

Economic (Non-designated) Hedges
We enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to manage our foreign currency exchange rate 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 financial instruments are adjusted to current market value at the end of each period through gain (loss) recognized in earnings.

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 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly.
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.

The fair value of non-derivative financial instruments included in the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, income taxes receivable, other assets, accounts payable, 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. Market pricing for our long-term debt with Worthington Enterprises, Inc. is not available; however, based on the stated interest rate and tenor as well as the market movements since issuance, we do not believe fair value would be materially different from the carrying value of the TWB Term Loan (including current maturities), which was $
Note P – Related Party Transactions
Historically, we were been managed and operated in the normal course of business by Parent. Transactions through November 30, 2023 between Parent and us have been accounted for as related party transactions in the accompanying combined financial statements, as described below:
Allocation of General Corporate Costs
Certain support functions have been provided to us on a centralized basis from Parent, including information technology, human resources, finance, and corporate operations, amongst others, profit sharing and bonuses, and respective surpluses and shortfalls of
17
various planned insurance expenses. For purposes of these combined financial statements, these corporate and other shared costs have been attributed to us on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of headcount or profitability, considering the characteristics of each respective cost. Management believes the assumptions regarding the allocation of Parent’s general corporate expenses are reasonable. Nevertheless, the combined financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred and may not reflect combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows had we been a stand-alone public company during the periods presented. Substantially all of the allocated corporate costs are included in SG&A expense in the combined statements of earnings.
Our allocated expenses from Parent, which are substantially recorded in SG&A expense in the combined statements of earnings, were $
Attribution of Separation Costs
Parent incurred Separation Costs that have been directly attributed to us to the extent incurred to our direct benefit and are presented separately in our combined statements of earnings.
Sales to Parent
Net sales to Parent totaled $
Due to/from Parent
Given that cash was managed centrally, long-term intercompany financing arrangements were used to fund expansion or certain working capital needs. Excluding the TWB Term Loan disclosed in “Note H – Debt”, debt resulting from these long-term intercompany financing arrangements has been reflected in Net Worthington Enterprises, Inc. Investment within equity.
Amounts due to Parent under the TWB Term Loan totaled $
Net Worthington Enterprises, Inc. Investment
Related party transactions between Parent and us have been included within Net Worthington Enterprises, Inc. investment in the combined balance sheets in the historical periods presented as these related party transactions were part of the centralized cash management program and were not settled in cash. Net Worthington Enterprises, Inc. investment in the combined balance sheet and combined statement of equity represents Parent’s historical investment in us, the net effect of transactions with and allocations from Parent, and our retained earnings.
Net transfers from Parent are included within Net Worthington Enterprises, Inc. investment. The reconciliation of total net transfers to and from Parent to the corresponding amount presented in the Combined Statement of Cash Flows are as follows:

This MD&A is designed to provide a reader with material information relevant to an assessment of our financial condition and results of operations and to allow investors to view the Company from the perspective of management.
Basis of Presentation
Worthington Steel was formed as an Ohio corporation on February 28, 2023 for the purpose of receiving, pursuant to a reorganization, all of the outstanding equity interests of the Steel Processing business of Worthington Industries. On December 1, 2023, the Separation was completed through the Distribution, which is intended to be tax-free to Worthington Industries shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Following the Distribution, Worthington Steel became an independent, publicly traded company. For additional information, see “Note A – Worthington Steel Separation, Description of Business, and Basis of Presentation” and “Note Q – Subsequent Events.”
The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared on a stand-alone, carve-out basis using the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Parent. The combined financial statements reflect the operations of Worthington Steel, as historically managed, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our combined financial statements include allocations of certain general and administrative expense related to shared corporate functions. The allocations have been determined on a reasonable basis: however, the amounts are not necessarily representative of the amounts that would have been reflected in the financial statements had we been an entity that operating independently of the Parent. Further, our combined financial statements may not be reflective of what our results
20
of operations, comprehensive income, historical financial position, equity or cash flows might be in the future as a separate public company. Certain factors could impact the nature and amount of these public company costs, including finalization of our staffing and infrastructure needs. Following the Separation, pursuant to agreements with Parent, Worthington will continue to provide us some of the services related to these previously shared corporate functions on a transitional basis in exchange for agreed-upon fees, and we will incur other costs to replace the services and resources that are not provided by Worthington. As a separate public company, our total costs related to such support functions may differ from the costs that were historically allocated to us.
Anticipated additional costs are primarily for the following:
We expect the additional separate public company costs in excess of the costs that have been historically allocated to us could range between $10 million and $15 million per year. In addition to these separate public company costs, we expect to incur certain non-recurring costs as a result of the Separation.
We have historically been dependent on Parent for all of our working capital and financing requirements and, with the exception of cash held outside of the United States, we have participated in Parent’s centralized cash management and financing arrangements. Our financing transactions are reflected within equity as Net Worthington Enterprises, Inc. investment. Accordingly, none of Parent’s cash, cash equivalents or debt has been assigned to us. Prior to its June 2023 termination, borrowings outstanding under the AR Facility and related interest expense are included in our combined financial statements as one of our subsidiaries is the legal party to the arrangement.
In contemplation of our anticipated post-separation capital structure, the AR Facility was terminated in June 2023. No early termination or other similar fees or penalties were paid in connection with the termination. As part of the Separation, we replaced the terminated AR Facility with the new Credit Facility. See “Recent Business Developments” and “Note H – Debt” for additional information.
Net Worthington Enterprises, Inc. investment, which includes retained earnings, represents Worthington’s interest in the recorded net assets of us. All significant transactions between Parent and us have been properly accounted for in the accompanying combined financial statements as related party transactions. To the extent not expected to be settled in cash, these transactions are reflected in the accompanying combined statements of equity as transfers (to) from Parent, net and in the accompanying combined balance sheets within Net Worthington Enterprises, Inc. investment.
The effects of transactions with Parent are discussed further in “Note P – Related Party Transactions.”
Business Overview
We are one of North America’s premier value-added steel processors with the ability to provide a diversified range of products and services that span a variety of end markets. We maintain market leading positions in the North American carbon flat-rolled steel and tailor welded blank industries and are one of the largest global producers of electrical steel laminations. For nearly 70 years, we have been delivering high quality steel processing capabilities across a variety of end-markets including automotive, heavy truck, agriculture, construction, and energy. With the ability to produce customized steel solutions, we aim to be the preferred value-added steel processor in the markets we serve by delivering highly technical, customer specific solutions, while also providing advanced materials support and price risk management solutions to optimize customer supply chains. Our scale and operating footprint allow us to achieve an advantaged cost structure and service platform supported by a strategic operating footprint. We serve our customers primarily by processing flat-rolled steel coils, which we source primarily from various North American steel mills, into the precise type, thickness, length, width, shape, and surface quality required by customer specifications. We can sell steel on a direct basis, whereby we are exposed to the risk and rewards of ownership of the material while in our possession. Alternatively, we toll process steel under a fee for service arrangement whereby we process customer-owned material. Our manufacturing facilities further benefit from the flexibility to scale between direct and tolling services based on demand dynamics throughout the year.
Our operations are managed principally on a products and services basis under a single group organizational structure. We own controlling interests in the following consolidated operating joint ventures: Spartan, TWB, WSCP, and WSP, through October 2022 when we completed the divestiture of the remaining net assets of the WSP joint venture. The net assets and operating results of these joint ventures are consolidated with the equity owned by the minority joint venture member shown as “Noncontrolling interests” in our combined balance sheets, and the noncontrolling interest in net earnings and OCI shown as net earnings or comprehensive income
21
attributable to noncontrolling interests in our combined statements of earnings and combined statements of comprehensive income (loss), respectively. Our remaining joint venture, Serviacero Worthington, is unconsolidated and accounted for using the equity method.
Recent Business Developments
Trends and Factors Impacting our Performance
The steel processing industry is fragmented and highly competitive. Given the broad base of products and services offered, specific competitors vary based on the target industry, product type, service type, size of program and geography. Competition is primarily on the basis of price, product quality and the ability to meet delivery requirements. Our processed steel products are priced competitively, primarily based on market factors, including, among other things, market pricing, the cost and availability of raw materials, transportation and shipping costs, and overall economic conditions in the U.S. and abroad.
General Economic and Market Conditions
We sell our products and services to a diverse customer base and a broad range of end markets. The breakdown of net sales by end market for the three months and six months ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2022 is illustrated below:

The automotive industry is one of the largest consumers of flat-rolled steel in North America, and thus the largest end market for us and our unconsolidated joint venture, Serviacero Worthington. North American vehicle production, primarily by Ford, General Motors and Stellantis North America (the “Detroit Three automakers”), is a leading indicator of automotive demand. While North American vehicle production was up in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, Detroit Three automakers vehicle production was down primarily due to the UAW strike, which began in mid-September and was not completely settled until early November.
Our remaining net sales are to other markets such as agricultural, appliance, construction, container, energy, heavy-truck, HVAC, and industrial electric motor, generator, and transformer. Given the many different products that make up our net sales and the wide variety of end markets we service, it is very difficult to isolate the key market indicators that drive this portion of our business. However, we believe that the trend in U.S. gross domestic product growth is a reasonable macroeconomic indicator for analyzing the demand of our end markets. A combination of rising interest rates and general economic uncertainty has affected demand in these end markets.
Inflation and government deficits and debt remain at high levels. Although inflationary pressures abated somewhat during the second quarter of fiscal 2024, as compared to the levels experienced throughout fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2023, they continue to negatively impact our business in the form of higher input and conversion costs as well as higher overall SG&A expense. The U.S. Federal Reserve has pushed interest rates to the highest level in more than 15 years in an attempt to slow growth and reduce inflation. High interest rates has had and could continue to have a negative impact on the economy and various end markets that we serve, as well as overall domestic steel demand.
We use the following information to monitor our costs and demand in our major end markets:

Sales to one automotive customer represented 14.9% and 16.6% of our combined net sales during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. 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.
Sales for most of our products are generally strongest in our fiscal fourth quarter when our facilities operate at seasonal peaks. Historically, sales have been weaker in our fiscal third quarter, primarily due to reduced seasonal activity in the building and construction industry, as well as customer plant shutdowns due to holidays, particularly in the automotive industry. We do not believe backlog is a significant indicator of our business.
Impact of Raw Material Prices
Our principal raw material is flat-rolled steel, including electrical steel, which we purchase in coils from integrated steel mills and mini-mills. The steel industry as a whole has been cyclical, and at times availability and pricing can be volatile due to a number of factors beyond our control. This volatility can significantly affect our steel costs. In an environment of increasing prices for steel and other raw materials, competitive conditions may impact how much of the price increases we can pass on to our customers. To the extent we are unable to pass on to our customers future price increases in raw materials, our financial results could be adversely affected. Also, if steel prices decrease, in general, competitive conditions may impact how quickly we must reduce our prices to our customers, and we could be forced to use higher-priced raw materials to complete orders for which the selling prices have decreased. Declining steel prices could also require us to write-down the value of our inventories to reflect current market pricing. Further, the number of suppliers has decreased
23
in recent years due to industry consolidation and the financial difficulties of certain suppliers, and consolidation may continue. Accordingly, if delivery from a major steel supplier is disrupted, it may be more difficult to obtain an alternative supply than in the past.
The market price of our products is closely related to the price of Hot Rolled Coil (HRC). The price of benchmark HRC is primarily affected by the demand for steel and the cost of raw materials. Steel prices declined throughout most of fiscal 2023 before increasing significantly in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 on production cuts at major steel mills and the replenishment of inventories in major end markets, then decreased again in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2024. The decline in steel prices in fiscal 2024 resulted in estimated inventory holding losses of $19.3 million during the six months ended November 30, 2023.
To manage our exposure to market risk, we attempt to negotiate the best prices for steel and to competitively price products and services to reflect the fluctuations in market prices. Derivative financial instruments have been used to manage a portion of our exposure to fluctuations in the cost of certain steel. These contracts covered periods commensurate with known or expected exposures throughout the periods presented. The derivative financial instruments were executed with highly rated financial institutions.
The following table presents the average quarterly market price per ton of hot-rolled steel during fiscal 2024 (first and second quarter), fiscal 2023, and fiscal 2022:

No matter how efficient, our operations, which use steel as a raw material, create some amount of scrap. The expected price of scrap compared to the price of the steel raw material is factored into pricing. Generally, as the price of steel increases, the price of scrap increases by a similar amount. When increases in scrap prices do not keep pace with the increases in the price of the steel raw material, it can have a negative impact on our margins.

Net sales totaled $808.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, down $60.4 million, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023, primarily due to lower average selling prices, partially offset by higher direct volumes. The mix of direct versus toll tons processed was 56% to 44% in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, compared to 55% to 45% in the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of the prior year divestiture of the remaining WSP toll processing facility in Jackson, Michigan, toll volumes were up 6%.

Income tax benefit was $2.5 million in the current year period compared to income tax benefit of $5.5 million in the prior year period. The decrease in tax benefit was driven by higher pre-tax earnings. The tax benefit in the current quarter resulted in an effective tax rate of 29.9%, compared to 25.9% for the prior year quarter. For additional information regarding our income taxes, refer to “Note K – Income Taxes.”
Adjusted EBIT
We evaluate operating performance on the basis of adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (“adjusted EBIT”). EBIT, a non-GAAP financial measure, is calculated by adding interest expense and income tax expense to net earnings (loss) attributable to controlling interest. Adjusted EBIT excludes impairment and restructuring expense (income), but may also exclude other items, as described below, that management believes are not reflective of, and thus should not be included when evaluating the performance of our ongoing operations. Adjusted EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure and is used by management to evaluate operating performance, engage in financial and operational planning and determine incentive compensation because we believe that this financial measure provides additional perspective on the performance of our ongoing operations. Additionally, management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors because they allow for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in our businesses and enable investors to evaluate operations and future prospects in the same manner as management.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net earnings (loss) attributable to controlling interest (the most comparable GAAP financial measure) to adjusted EBIT for the periods presented:

Adjusted EBIT in the second quarter of fiscal 2024 was up $21.5 million over the second quarter of fiscal 2023 primarily due to favorable direct spreads, including $18.3 million associated with the quarter-over-quarter favorable change in estimated inventory holding losses, and, to a lesser extent, higher equity earnings at Serviacero Worthington, which were up $1.9 million.

Net sales totaled $1,713.8 million in the current year period, down $229.2 million from the prior year period, driven primarily by lower average selling prices due to lower year-over-year steel market prices. The mix of direct versus toll tons processed was 56% to 44% in the current period, compared to 57% to 43% in the prior year period.

Impairment of long-lived assets in both the current year period and prior year period was driven by changes in the estimated fair market value less cost to sell related to ongoing efforts to divest certain production equipment of our former WSCP toll processing facility in Cleveland, Ohio. Refer to “Note D – Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” for additional information.
Restructuring activity in the prior year period was driven by gains realized from the sale of long-lived assets, including a $3.9 million pre-tax gain related to the sale of WSP’s facility in Jackson, Michigan.

Income tax expense was $14.5 million for the current year period compared to $4.8 million for the prior year period. The increase in income tax expense was driven by higher pre-tax earnings. Income tax expense in the current year period resulted in an effective tax rate of 21.6% compared to 24.9% for the prior year period.

Adjusted EBIT was up $60.0 million over the prior year period due primarily to favorable direct spreads, including $35.3 million associated with the year-over-year favorable change in estimated inventory holding losses, and, to a lesser extent, a $9.1 million increase in equity earnings at Serviacero Worthington, partially offset by a $9.9 million increase in SG&A expense compared to the prior year period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, we financed our working capital requirements through cash flows from operating activities and arrangements with our Parent. Upon completion of the Separation, we ceased such arrangements with our Parent. Our capital structure, long-term commitments,
29
and liquidity sources will thus change from our prior practices. A more detailed description regarding our capital structure changes can be found elsewhere in this MD&A as well as in the “Financing Activities” section below.
Our primary ongoing requirements for cash will be for working capital, funding of acquisitions, and capital expenditures. We believe that our sources of liquidity are adequate to fund our operations for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future.
During the six months ended November 30, 2023, we generated $119.2 million of cash from operating activities, invested $36.2 million in property, plant and equipment and used $21.0 million in an acquisition. We received cash proceeds of $175.0 million related to the Credit Facility, of which $150.0 million was used to fund the distribution to Worthington Enterprises, Inc. on December 1, 2023. Additionally, we transferred $51.4 million to Worthington Enterprises, Inc. The following table summarizes our combined cash flows for the periods presented.

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 and industry 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, requiring 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 $119.2 million during the six months ended November 30, 2023, compared to $117.5 million during the six months ended November 30, 2022. This change was primarily due to a $41.2 million increase in overall net earnings between periods, offset by a $28.1 million reduction in cash from net operating working capital (accounts receivable, inventories, and accounts payable) and a $9.1 million increase in undistributed earnings from unconsolidated affiliate over the prior year six-month period.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $56.4 million during the six months ended November 30, 2023, compared to $2.4 million during the six months ended November 30, 2022. Net cash used by investing activities in both the current year and prior year periods was the result of capital expenditures. Additionally, we paid $21.0 million, net of cash acquired, for the acquisition of Voestalpine in the current year period. See Note M – “Acquisitions” for further information. The prior year period included $23.2 million proceeds from sale of assets, primarily related to proceeds from the divesture of WSP's facility in Jackson, Michigan.
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 any such opportunities may require additional financing. There can be no assurance, however, that any such opportunities will arise, that any such acquisition opportunities will be consummated, or that any needed additional financing will be available on satisfactory terms or at all if required.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $118.9 million during the six months ended November 30, 2023, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $104.1 million during the six months ended November 30, 2022. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was driven by the $175.0 million related to the Credit Facility (see the “Revolving credit facility” section below) during November 2023. This increase was offset by higher transfers to Worthington Enterprises, Inc. as well as by the payment of other long-term obligations and payments to noncontrolling interests.
30
Revolving credit facility – On November 30, 2023, we entered into the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility allows for borrowings of up to $550.0 million, to the extent secured by eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances at period end, which consist primarily of U.S. Dollar denominated account balances. Amounts drawn under the Credit Facility will have maturities of up to one year and will accrue interest at rates equal to an applicable margin over the SOFR Rate. We incurred approximately $2.7 million of issuance costs, of which $2.5 million will be amortized to interest expense over the expected five-year term and are reflected in other assets. As of November 30, 2023, $175.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, of which $150.0 million was paid to Worthington Enterprises, Inc. on December 1, 2023, in connection with the Separation.
As of November 30, 2023, we were in compliance with the financial covenants of our financial debt agreements. Our debt agreements do not include credit rating triggers or material adverse change provisions. There were $175.0 million outstanding borrowings drawn against our Credit Facility at November 30, 2023, leaving a borrowing capacity of $375.0 million, subject to the eligible borrowing base, available for future use. Under the Credit Facility, the Company may extend current borrowings up to the maturity date subject to the eligible borrowing base.
On December 20, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per common share payable on March 28, 2024, to shareholders of record on March 14, 2024.
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 combined financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, current and projected cash flows, business prospects, and other relevant factors. There is no guarantee that payments of dividends will continue in the future in a similar manner as the Parent, Worthington Enterprises, Inc.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our combined financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these combined 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 combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. 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 apparent from other sources. Critical accounting policies are defined as those that reflect our significant judgments and 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 combined 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 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates” of the Form 10.
31
Item 3. – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risks have not materially changed from those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of the Form 10.
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 Worthington Steel files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including Worthington Steel’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management, under the supervision of and with the participation of Worthington Steel’s principal executive officer and 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 Form 10-Q (the quarterly period ended November 30, 2023). Based on that evaluation, Worthington Steel’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the quarterly period covered by this Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Following the Separation, new corporate and governance functions, such as finance, tax, information technology, human resources, treasury and legal, have been implemented to meet all regulatory requirements for a standalone public company. Apart from the foregoing changes, there were no changes that occurred during the second quarter of fiscal 2024 in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
32
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. – Legal Proceedings
We are involved in various judicial and administrative proceedings, as both plaintiff and defendant, arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operation or cash flows.
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 Form 10 filed with the SEC on November 14, 2023, and available at www.sec.gov or at www.worthingtonsteel.com, we included a detailed discussion of our risk factors. Our risk factors have not changed significantly from those disclosed in the Form 10. These risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and investments in the common shares and in connection with the forward-looking statements and other information contained in this Form 10-Q. Any of the risks described in the Form 10 could materially affect our business, combined financial condition or future results and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made. The risk factors described in the Form 10 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, combined financial condition and/or future results.
Item 2. – Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
There were no unregistered sales of equity securities of Worthington Steel during the period covered by this Form 10-Q. There were no common shares repurchased by, or on behalf of, Worthington Steel or any affiliated purchaser (as defined in Rule 10b - 18(a)(3) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended November 30, 2023.

NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
|
ARTICLE I – INTRODUCTION
1.1 Name and Adoption of Plan.
The Company originally adopted the Plan effective as of the Effective Date. The Plan is a successor plan to the Grandfathered Plan for Grandfathered Participants. The Company extends the Plan to any Company Subsidiary that adopts the Plan, subject to the terms described in Section 1.7.
1.2 Purposes of Plan.
The purpose of the Plan is to provide deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Employers.
1.3 “Top Hat” Pension Benefit Plan.
The Plan is an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(2). The Plan is maintained, however, for a select group of management or highly compensated employees and, therefore, is exempt from Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title 1 of ERISA. The Plan is not intended to qualify under Code Section 401(a).
1.4 Plan Unfunded.
The Plan is unfunded. All benefits will be paid from Employers’ general assets, which will continue to be subject to the claims of Employers’ creditors as described in Section 11.6.
1.5 Effective Date.
December 1, 2023.
1.6 Administration.
The Plan shall be administered by the Committee.
1.7 Participating Employers.
The Company may designate any Company Subsidiary as an Employer in the Plan.
As a condition to becoming an Employer, each Company Subsidiary shall be deemed to (a) designate the Committee as the entity responsible for Plan administration, (b) delegate to the Company, the Committee and the Executive Committee all power and authority to interpret, amend or terminate the Plan, as described in this document, and to discharge the duties and responsibilities described in Article VIII, (c) subject to Section 11.6, agree to make the payment of any Plan benefits accrued by its Employees under the Plan, and (d) comply with Section 11.4. An entity that ceases to be a Company Subsidiary will nevertheless remain responsible for any liabilities arising from or attributable to periods during which it was an Employer.

4.1 Deferrals by Participant.
Any Participant, including a Grandfathered Participant, who desires to defer any portion of his Base Salary and/or Bonus Compensation must complete and deliver an Election Form to the Committee in such form as may then be prescribed and at the time set forth below.
(a) Base Salary. The Election Form to defer Base Salary for any Plan Year must be filed no later than December 31 of the immediately preceding Plan Year.
(b) Partial-Year Bonus Compensation. The Election Form to defer Partial-Year Bonus Compensation for any Plan Year must be filed no later than December 31 of the immediately preceding Plan Year in which the Partial-Year Bonus Period begins.
(c) Annual Bonus Compensation. The Election Form to defer Annual Bonus Compensation for any Plan Year must be filed no later than the date that is six (6) months before the end of the performance period on which the performance bonus is based (or, if earlier, the date on which such Annual Bonus Compensation becomes readily ascertainable).
(d) Revocation of Deferral Elections. Except as provided in Section 7.4, a Base Salary Deferral and/or Bonus Deferral shall be irrevocable after the last day on which a Base Salary Deferral and/or Bonus Deferral may be made, as set forth above. The Committee, in its discretion, may set limits on the amount of Base Salary and/or Bonus Compensation that may be deferred under the Plan; provided that any changes in such limits may not apply to any Plan Year for which deferral elections have become irrevocable.
(e) Carryover Elections for Grandfathered Participants. Deferral and payment elections for Grandfathered Participants as in effect under the Grandfathered Plan on the Effective Date shall continue to apply to the Grandfathered Participant’s Grandfathered Plan Account.
4.2 Time of Crediting of Deferrals.
Base Salary Deferrals and Bonus Deferrals shall be credited to the Account of each Participant at the same time as the Base Salary or Bonus Compensation would have otherwise been paid.
4.3 Employer Contributions.
An Employer may determine, in its sole discretion, to make Employer Contributions for any Participant or Participants as it elects. The amount of any Employer Contribution to be made for any Participant shall be determined in such manner as his Employer shall, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate and may be a different amount (or no amount) for each Plan Year and for each Participant. Employer Contributions shall be in the form of a credit to the Participant’s Account.
4.4 Timing of Employer Contributions.
Employer Contributions will be credited to the Participant’s Account as of the date specified by the Employer or, if no date is specified, as soon as administratively practical after they are declared.

A Participant shall be notified within a reasonable time of any Employer Contribution to be made on his behalf under the Plan.
4.5 Vesting.
A Participant shall be fully vested in his Account at all times except to the extent that the Participant’s Employer establishes a deferred vesting schedule to apply to Employer Contributions made on or after the time the deferred vesting schedule is established.
ARTICLE V - EARNINGS
5.1 Earnings and Investment.
(a) Until changed by an amendment to this Plan, made in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.4 of this Plan, the investment options available under this Plan for purposes of crediting earnings on all or a portion of a Participant’s Account shall be: (i) those investment options available under the 401(k) Plan as in effect from time to time; (ii) the Theoretical Shares option; and (iii) the Fixed Interest Rate option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee in its sole discretion may limit the investment options available for former Participants who are no longer Employees or who are receiving installment payment distributions of their Account balances under this Plan.
(b) Theoretical Shares. If a Participant elects to have his Account credited to the Theoretical Shares option, the amount to be credited, as of the date of such crediting, shall be divided by the then Fair Market Value of the Common Shares (as defined below) and the Participant’s Account shall be credited with the resulting number of Theoretical Shares. The portion of the Participant’s Account credited to the Theoretical Shares option shall be credited with cash dividends with respect to the Theoretical Shares at the time and equal in amount to the cash dividends which would have been paid on the Theoretical Shares if they had been issued and outstanding Common Shares on and after the date the Theoretical Shares were credited to the Participant’s Account; and at such time, the amount of cash dividends credited to the Participant’s Account shall be divided by the then Fair Market Value of the Common Shares and the Theoretical Shares option portion of the Participant’s Account shall be credited with the resulting number of Theoretical Shares.
“Fair Market Value of the Common Shares” shall be the closing sale price of the Common Shares for the last date immediately prior to the date of valuation. If the Common Shares cease to be publicly traded, the Committee shall select, in its discretion, an appropriate method for determining the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares.
In the event of any reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-up, reverse stock split or other corporate transaction affecting the Common Shares, the number of Theoretical Shares credited to the Theoretical Shares option portion of a Participant’s Account shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such transaction, without any further action being required on the part of the Company, the Committee, the Participant or any other person.
The portion of a Grandfathered Participant’s Account invested in theoretical shares of Worthington Industries, Inc. as of the Effective Date shall be converted into an equivalent number of Theoretical Shares calculated by multiplying the number of theoretical shares by (i) the closing price per share of Worthington Industries, Inc. trading in the ex-dividend market on the distribution date (as that term is defined under the Separation and Distribution Agreement by and
7
between the Company and Worthington Industries, Inc. dated as of November 30, 2023), and dividing by (ii) the closing price per share of Worthington Industries, Inc. trading the regular way with due bills on the last trading day immediately preceding the distribution date (as that term is defined under the Separation and Distribution Agreement by and between the Company and Worthington Industries, Inc. dated November 30, 2023), rounded down to the nearest whole share.
The portion of a Participant’s Account credited to the Theoretical Shares option shall, upon distribution in accordance with this Plan, be paid in the form of whole Common Shares; provided, however, that a Participant will be paid cash (based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares) in lieu of any fractional Common Shares otherwise payable in respect of the amount credited to the Theoretical Shares option. The portion of a Participant’s Account credited to any investment option other than Theoretical Shares shall, upon distribution in accordance with this Plan, be paid in cash. Any amounts required to be withheld in accordance with Section 11.3 of this Plan may, upon the prior written election of the Participant, be satisfied by either (i) an equivalent reduction in the amount otherwise payable to the Participant in the form of cash as a distribution pursuant to Article VII of this Plan or (ii) an equivalent reduction in the number of Common Shares (based upon the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares) otherwise payable to the Participant as a distribution pursuant to Article VII of this Plan or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii); provided that, to the extent any such withholding requirement cannot be satisfied in full in the manner elected by the Participant, the remainder of the required withholding amount shall be satisfied through a reduction in the amount of cash or the number of Common Shares (based upon the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares), as appropriate, which would have otherwise been payable to the Participant as a distribution pursuant to Article VII of this Plan.
(c) Fixed Interest Rate. If a Participant elects to have all or any portion of his Account credited to the Fixed Interest Rate option, the portion of the Participant’s Account credited to the Fixed Interest Rate option shall be credited with interest compounded annually at the rate determined by the Committee. If the Committee does not otherwise set the Fixed Interest Rate, the Fixed Interest Rate for a Plan Year shall be the Applicable Federal Mid-Term Interest Rate for the month of January of that Plan Year.
5.2 Selection of Investment Option.
The Participant shall select the investment option for his Account in an Election Form. The Participant may change the investment option for his Account as of the time permitted under the 401(k) Plan for the same investment option; provided, however, that any portion of a Participant’s Account credited to the Theoretical Shares option in the Plan or in the Grandfathered Plan shall remain credited to the Theoretical Shares option until distributed pursuant to Article VII of this Plan. If a Participant does not select an investment option for all or any portion of the Participant’s Account, the Fixed Interest Rate option shall apply to such portion of the Participant’s Account.
ARTICLE VI – ACCOUNTS
6.1 Establishment of Accounts.
The Committee will establish a separate bookkeeping Account for each Participant and will include any Grandfathered Participant’s Account maintained under the Grandfathered Plan. Such Account shall be credited with the Base Salary Deferrals and Bonus Deferrals made by the Participant pursuant to Section 4.1, and Employer Contributions made by the Employer pursuant
8
to Section 4.3 and credited or charged, as the case may be, with the hypothetical investment results determined pursuant to Article V and taxes described in Section 6.4.
6.2 Subaccounts.
Within each Participant’s bookkeeping Account, separate subaccounts shall be maintained to the extent necessary for the administration of the Plan. For example, it may be necessary to maintain separate subaccounts where the Participant has specified different Deferral Dates, methods of payment or investment directions. Also, the Committee will separately account for amounts credited for each Participant while the Participant was an Employee of each Employer and will use this subaccount to account for Base Salary Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals and Employer Contributions (and attributable earnings, losses and taxes described in Section 6.4) attributable to the Participant’s employment with each Employer. In addition, the Committee will maintain separate subaccounts for Grandfathered Participants’ Account under the Grandfathered Plan.
6.3 Hypothetical Nature of Accounts.
The Accounts (or subaccounts) established under this Article VI shall be hypothetical in nature and shall be maintained for bookkeeping purposes only, so that earnings and losses on the Base Salary Deferrals, Bonus Deferrals and Employer Contributions made to the Plan can be credited (or charged, as the case may be). Neither the Plan nor any of the Accounts (or subaccounts) established hereunder shall hold any actual funds or assets. The right of any person to receive one or more payments under the Plan shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Employer for whom the Participant was an Employee when the Deferral (including attributable earnings and losses) was credited. Any liability of the Company, any Employer, the Committee or any other person to any Participant, former Participant, or Beneficiary with respect to a right to payment shall be based solely upon contractual obligations created by the Plan. Neither the Employers, their directors, officers or employees, nor any other person shall be deemed to be a trustee of or fiduciary with respect to any amounts to be paid under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship, between any Employer and a Participant, former Participant, Beneficiary, or any other person.
6.4 Reduction for Taxes.
Any employment or other taxes (such as wage taxes) that are imposed on Base Salary or Bonus Deferrals or Employer Contributions when those amounts are credited to a Participant’s Account will be assessed against the affected Participant’s other compensation or, to the extent his other compensation is not sufficient to pay those taxes, the Participant will remit to the Company or Company Subsidiary an amount equal to the taxes required to be withheld.
ARTICLE VII - PAYMENT OF ACCOUNT
7.1 Distribution After Deferral Date
(a) Time of Distribution. Distribution of that portion of a Participant’s Account or subaccount maintained with respect to the amount deferred, as the case may be, which is not
9
previously distributed under the terms of the Plan shall be made as soon as practicable, but in no event more than 90 days, following the Deferral Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the distribution of that portion of a Participant’s Account or subaccount maintained with respect to the amount deferred, as the case may be, which is not previously distributed under the terms of the Plan shall not be made until the first day of the seventh month following the Deferral Date which is the Separation from Service.
(b) Form of Payment or Payments. A Participant’s Account balance shall be distributed in accordance with the form of payment elected by the Participant on the Election Form(s) to which such amounts relate, which Election Form(s) must be submitted no later than the dates described in Section 4.1. An Account or subaccount of a Grandfathered Participant shall be distributed in accordance with the form of payment elected by the Grandfathered Participant on the Election Form(s) filed with the Grandfathered Plan to which such amounts relate. Once a form of payment has been selected by a Participant, or a Grandfathered Participant, such election may only be changed in accordance with Section 7.6. The form of payment with respect to amounts and the earnings credited thereon may be in any of the following forms:
(i) A lump sum; or
(ii) Other methods that the Committee, in its sole discretion, may allow.
Installment payments, if permitted, shall be paid annually during January of each Plan Year following the Deferral Date. Each installment payment shall be determined by multiplying the Account balance by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the number of remaining installment payments to be made to the Participant. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, total distribution of a Participant’s account must be made by the date such Participant attains age 85.
If a Participant makes no election as to the form of payment, that Participant’s form of payment shall be a lump sum.
7.2 Distributions upon Death.
(a) Distribution on Death. Upon the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Account shall be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary in the form specified by the Participant from among those available under Section 7.1(b).
(b) Designation of Beneficiaries. Each Participant shall have the right to designate the beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive payment of his benefit in the event of his death. A beneficiary designation shall be made by executing the beneficiary designation portion of the Election Form and filing the same with the Committee. Any such designation may be changed at any time by execution of a new beneficiary designation portion of the Election Form in accordance with this Section. A Grandfathered Participant’s beneficiary designation made pursuant to the Grandfathered Plan shall remain in effect until changed. If no such designation is on file with the Committee at the time of death of the Participant or such designation is not effective for any reason as determined by the Committee, then the designated Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to receive such benefit shall be the Participant’s surviving spouse, if any, or if none, the executor, personal representative, or administrator of the Participant’s probate estate, or his heirs-at-law, if there is no administration of such Participant’s probate estate.
10
7.3 Unclaimed Benefits.
If the Committee is unable to locate the Participant or Beneficiary to whom a benefit is payable under this Plan, such benefit may be forfeited to the Employer or Employers for whom the Participant was an Employee when the forfeited Deferral or Employer Contribution was credited to his Account, upon the Committee’s determination.
7.4 Hardship Withdrawals.
A Participant may request a distribution from all or part of his Account upon the occurrence of an Unforeseeable Emergency. As a condition of receiving a distribution under this Section 7.4, the Participant must file a written application with the Committee specifying the nature of the Unforeseeable Emergency, the amount needed to address the Unforeseeable Emergency and supplying any other information the Committee, in its discretion, may need to ensure that the conditions specified in this Section 7.4 are satisfied. The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether an Unforeseeable Emergency exists and distribute an amount to the Participant which shall not be greater than the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (plus the amount necessary to pay any Federal, state, local or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution) or, if less, the value of the Participant’s Account as of the distribution date.
A distribution on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency may not be made to the extent such emergency is or may be relieved through a cancellation of Deferrals under this Plan, reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause a severe financial hardship.
7.5 Payout of Small Accounts.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Article VII to the contrary, if the total of the Participant’s Account under the Plan and his Account under all other arrangements that, with this Plan, would be treated as a single nonqualified deferred compensation plan (within the meaning of IRS Regulation §1.409A-1(c)(2)) is less than the limit described in Code Section 402(g)(1)(B) for the Plan Year in which the Date of Deferral occurs, such Participant’s Account may be distributed in a lump sum, but only if payment results in the termination and liquidation of the Participant’s entire interest in this Plan and all other arrangements that, along with this Plan, would be treated as a single nonqualified deferred compensation plan (as determined under IRS Regulation §1.409A-1(c)(2)).
7.6 Changes to Deferral Date or Form of Payment.
A Participant or Grandfathered Participant may change the form of payment of his Account or Deferral Date by filing an amended Election Form with the Committee; provided, however, that (i) any such change to an existing election may not take effect until at least twelve months after the date on which such Election Form is filed; (ii) the payment with respect to which such election is made must be deferred (other than due to death or Unforeseeable Emergency) for a period of at least five years from the date such payment would otherwise have been made (or, in the case of installment payments treated as a single payment, five years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid); and (iii) any election affecting a distribution at a specified time must be made not less than twelve months before the date the amount is scheduled to be paid
11
(or, in the case of installment payments treated as a single payment, twelve months before the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid).
ARTICLE VIII - ADMINISTRATION

The Plan shall be administered by a Committee appointed by the Executive Committee or the Directors. If no other Committee is so appointed, the Committee shall be the Compensation Committee of the Directors. The Committee shall be responsible for approving an Employer’s designation of an Employee to be a Participant and for the general operation and administration of the Plan and for carrying out the provisions thereof. The Committee may delegate to others certain aspects of the management and operational responsibilities of the Plan including the employment of advisors and the delegation of ministerial duties to qualified individuals.
8.2 General Powers of Administration.

The Committee may exercise the powers hereby granted in its sole and absolute discretion.

10.3 Consistency with IRS Regulations: In all cases, the provisions of and definitions used in this Article X shall be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of the IRS Regulations.
ARTICLE XI – MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Plan Not a Contract of Employment.
The adoption and maintenance of the Plan shall not be deemed to be a contract of employment between any Employer and any person or to be a commitment for the employment of any person. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to give any person the right to be retained in the employ of any Employer or to restrict the right of any Employer to discharge any person at any time; nor shall the Plan be deemed to give any Employer the right to require any person to remain in the employ of any Employer or to restrict any person’s right to terminate his employment at any time.
11.2 Non-Assignability of Benefits.
No Participant, Beneficiary or distributee of benefits under the Plan shall have any power or right to transfer, assign, anticipate, hypothecate or otherwise encumber any part or all of the amounts payable hereunder, which are expressly declared to be unassignable and non-transferable. Any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void. No amount payable hereunder shall, prior to actual payment thereof, be subject to seizure by any creditor of any such Participant, Beneficiary or other distributee for the payment of any debt, judgment, or other obligation, by a proceeding at law or in equity, nor transferable by operation of law in the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency or death of such Participant, Beneficiary or other distributee hereunder. Except as otherwise required by law, no accelerated distribution will be made with respect to a divorce, dissolution or other division of property rights.
11.3 Withholding.
All deferrals and payments provided for hereunder shall be subject to applicable withholding and other deductions as shall be required of the Employers under any applicable local, state or federal law.
11.4 Amendment and Termination.
The Directors may from time to time, in their discretion, amend, in whole or in part, any or all of the provisions of the Plan; provided, however, that no amendment may be made which would impair the rights of a Participant with respect to amounts already allocated to his Account (unless the affected Participant consents in writing to the application of that amendment), but this provision shall not be read to restrict the authority of the Directors or the Executive Committee or the Committee to change or limit investment options. The Directors or the Executive Committee may terminate the Plan at any time, provided, however, that no termination shall in and of itself cause an acceleration of the distribution of Accounts under the Plan, except to the extent permitted by applicable IRS Regulations. Each Company Subsidiary that is an Employer under this Plan hereby agrees that, if the Plan is terminated pursuant to this Section 11.4, each will take all necessary steps to terminate the Plan in accordance with this Section 11.4 and Code Section 409A, to the extent applicable. Any such amendment to or termination of the Plan shall be in writing and signed by a member of the Executive Committee or an officer of the Company and will bind each Employer without separate action.
15
11.5 No Trust Created.
Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions by either party hereto, shall create, nor be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company or any Employer and the Participant, his Beneficiary, or any other person. The Company may establish a “grantor trust” (so-called “Rabbi Trust”) which is within the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States, and is permitted by IRS Regulations, to aid in meeting the obligations created under this Plan, but the Company intends that the assets of any such Rabbi Trust will at all times remain subject to the claims of the Employers’ general creditors (to the extent of the amounts credited for a Participant while he was an Employee of that particular Employer), and that the existence of any such trust will not alter the characterization of the Plan as “unfunded” for purposes of ERISA, and will not be construed to provide income to any Participant prior to actual payment under this Plan.
11.6 Unsecured General Creditor Status of Employee.
The payments to Participant, his Beneficiary or any other distributee hereunder shall be made from assets which shall continue, for all purposes, to be a part of the general, unrestricted assets of the Employer for whom the Participant was an Employee when the Deferrals to which the claim relates was credited to the claiming Participant’s Account; no person shall have or acquire any interest in any such assets by virtue of the provisions of this Plan. The obligation hereunder shall be an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future. To the extent that the Participant, a Beneficiary, or other distributee acquires a right to receive payments from the Plan under the provisions hereof, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Employer for whom the Participant was an Employee when the Deferrals to which the claim relates was credited to the claiming Participant’s Account; no such person shall have nor require any legal or equitable right, interest or claim in or to any property or assets of any Employer.
In the event that, in its discretion, the Employer purchases an insurance policy or policies insuring the life of the Participant (or any other property) to allow the Employer to recover the cost of providing the benefits, in whole, or in part, hereunder, neither the Participant, his Beneficiary or other distributee shall have nor acquire any rights whatsoever therein or in the proceeds therefrom. The Employer shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such policy or policies and, as such, shall possess and may exercise all incidents of ownership therein. Except to the extent the Company may establish a Rabbi Trust as described in Section 11.5, no such policy, policies or other property shall be held in any trust for a Participant, Beneficiary or other distributee or held as collateral security for any obligation hereunder. The existence of any such Rabbi Trust does not give a Participant, Beneficiary or other distributee, any interest, direct or beneficial, in any policy, policies or other property held in such a trust. A Participant’s participation in the underwriting or other steps necessary to acquire such policy or policies may be required by the Committee and, if required, shall not be a suggestion of any beneficial interest in such policy or policies to a Participant.
11.7 Severability.
If any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof; instead, each provision shall be fully severable and the Plan shall be constructed and enforced as if said illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein.
16
11.8 Binding Effect.
This Plan shall be binding on each Participant and his heirs and legal representatives and on the Company and each Employer and its successors and assigns.
11.9 Governing Laws.
All provisions of the Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Ohio, except to the extent preempted by federal law.
11.10 Entire Agreement.
This document and any amendments and any Election Form(s) contain all the terms and provisions of the Plan and shall constitute the entire Plan, any other alleged terms or provisions being of no effect.
11.11 Code Section 409A.
This Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the IRS Regulations promulgated thereunder and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall be interpreted, administered and operated accordingly. Nothing herein shall be construed as an entitlement to or guarantee of any particular tax treatment to a Participant, and none of the Employers, Directors, the Executive Committee or the Committee shall have any liability with respect to any failure to comply with Code Section 409A. The Company may accelerate the time or schedule of payment of a Participant’s Account at any time this Plan fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A. Such payment may not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure to comply with Code Section 409A.

Section 4. Eligibility and Participation
4.1 Eligibility
-3-
Each Director is eligible to become a Participant in the Plan. Participants are those Directors who elect to defer Directors Fees under the Plan. A Director’s eligibility to defer Directors Fees shall cease when he dies or otherwise ceases to be a Director of the Company.
4.2 Election to Defer
Any Director who desires to defer the payment of any portion of his Directors Fees for any Plan Year must complete and deliver an Election Form to the Committee (in substantially the form approved by the Committee from time to time) no later than December 31 of the immediately preceding Plan Year in which the applicable fee is earned. (Retainers shall be earned commencing the first day of the fiscal year, the fiscal quarter or other period as to which they relate. Meeting fees shall be earned by attendance at the meeting). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in the discretion of the Committee, a Participant may elect to defer any portion of Directors Fees by completing and delivering an Election Form to the Committee no later than 30 days after the Participant first becomes eligible to participate in this Plan with respect to any Directors Fees for which services will be performed after such election is made. For this purpose, a Participant is first eligible to participate in this Plan if he is not a participant in any other arrangement that, along with this Plan, would be treated as a single nonqualified deferred compensation plan within the meaning of IRS Regulations §1.409A-1(c)(2).
Any election made pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be irrevocable once such Plan Year begins.
4.3 The Election Form
A Participant shall designate on an Election Form (i) the portion of his Directors Fees he desires to defer, (ii) the Date of Deferral, and (iii) the method of payment of his Account. Payment of the Account shall be made in accordance with Section 6. The Participant shall also designate the investment option selected for his Account on an Election Form.

In addition, a Grandfathered Participant’s Grandfathered Plan Account shall be maintained under a separate sub-account and shall be paid according to the form of payment election made under the Grandfathered Plan.
-4-
4.5 Carryover Elections for Grandfathered Participants. Deferral and payment elections for Grandfathered Participants as in effect under the Grandfathered Plan on the Effective Date shall continue to apply to the Grandfathered Participant’s Grandfathered Plan Account.
Section 5. Deferred Compensation Account
5.1 Crediting Fees
The Directors Fees which a Participant elects to defer shall be treated as if they were set-aside in an Account on the date the Directors Fees would otherwise have been paid to the Participant.
5.2 Investment Options – General
(a) Until changed by an amendment to this Plan, made in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of this Plan, the investment options available under the Plan for purposes of crediting earnings on all or a portion of a Participant’s Account shall be: (i) those investment options available under the 401(k) Plan as in effect from time to time; (ii) the Theoretical Shares option; and (iii) the Fixed Interest Rate option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee in its sole discretion may limit the investment options available for former Participants who are no longer Directors or who are receiving installment payment distribution of their Account balance under this Plan.
(b) Theoretical Shares. If a Participant elects to have his Account credited to the Theoretical Shares option, the amount to be credited, as of the date of such crediting, shall be divided by the then Fair Market Value of the Common Shares (as defined below) and the Participant’s Account shall be credited with the resulting number of Theoretical Shares. The portion of the Participant’s Account credited to the Theoretical Shares option shall be credited with cash dividends with respect to the Theoretical Shares at the time and equal in amount to the cash dividends which would have been paid on the Theoretical Shares if they had been issued and outstanding Common Shares on and after the date the Theoretical Shares were credited to the Participant’s Account; and at such time, the amount of cash dividends credited to the Participant’s Account shall be divided by the then Fair Market Value of the Common Shares and the Theoretical Shares option portion of the Participant’s Account shall be credited with the resulting number of Theoretical Shares.
“Fair Market Value of the Common Shares” shall be the closing sale price of the Common Shares for the last date immediately prior to the date of valuation. If the Common Shares cease to be publicly traded, the Committee shall select, in its discretion, an appropriate method for determining the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares.
In the event of any reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-up, reverse stock split or other corporate transaction affecting the Common Shares, the number of Theoretical Shares credited to the Theoretical Shares option portion of a Participant’s Account shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such transaction, without any further action being required on the part of the Company, the Committee, the Participant or any other person.
The portion of a Grandfathered Participant’s Account invested in theoretical shares of Worthington Industries, Inc. as of the Effective Date shall be converted into an equivalent number of Theoretical Shares calculated by multiplying the number of theoretical shares by (i) the closing price per share of Worthington Industries, Inc. trading in the ex-dividend market on the distribution date (as that term is defined under the
-5-
Separation and Distribution Agreement by and between the Company and Worthington Industries, Inc. dated as of November 30, 2023), and dividing by (ii) the closing price per share of Worthington Industries, Inc. trading the regular way with due bills on the last trading day immediately preceding the distribution date (as that term is defined under the Separation and Distribution Agreement by and between the Company and Worthington Industries, Inc. dated as of November 30, 2023), rounded down to the nearest whole share.
The portion of a Participant’s Account credited to the Theoretical Shares option shall, upon distribution in accordance with this Plan, be paid in the form of whole Common Shares; provided, however, that a Participant will be paid cash (based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares) in lieu of any fractional Common Shares otherwise payable in respect of the amount credited to the Theoretical Shares option. The portion of a Participant’s Account credited to any investment option other than Theoretical Shares shall, upon distribution in accordance with this Plan, be paid in cash. Any amounts required to be withheld in accordance with Section 8.2 of this Plan may, upon the prior written election of the Participant, be satisfied by either (i) an equivalent reduction in the amount otherwise payable to the Participant in the form of cash as a distribution pursuant to Section 6 of this Plan or (ii) an equivalent reduction in the number of Common Shares (based upon the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares) otherwise payable to the Participant as a distribution pursuant to Section 6 of this Plan or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii); provided that, to the extent any such withholding requirement cannot be satisfied in full in the manner elected by the Participant, the remainder of the required withholding amount shall be satisfied through a reduction in the amount of cash or the number of Common Shares (based upon the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares), as appropriate, which would have otherwise been payable to the Participant as a distribution pursuant to Section 6 of this Plan.
(c) Fixed Interest Rate. If a Participant elects to have all or any portion of his Account credited to the Fixed Interest Rate option, the portion of the Participant’s Account credited to the Fixed Interest Rate option shall be credited with interest compounded annually at the rate determined by the Committee. If the Committee does not otherwise set the Fixed Interest Rate, the Fixed Interest Rate for a Plan Year shall be the Applicable Federal Mid-Term Interest Rate for the month of January of that Plan Year.
5.3 Selection of Investment Option
The Participant shall select the investment option for his Account in an Election Form. The Participant may change the investment option for his Account and his Grandfathered Plan Account as of the time permitted under the 401(k) Plan for the same investment option; provided, however, that any portion of a Participant’s Account credited to the Theoretical Shares option shall remain credited to the Theoretical Shares option until distributed pursuant to Section 6 of this Plan. If a Participant does not select an investment option for all or any portion of the Participant’s Account, the Fixed Interest Rate option shall apply to such portion of the Participant’s Account.
Section 6. Payment of Deferred Compensation
6.1 General
The amount of a Participant’s Account or sub-account maintained with respect to the amount deferred, as the case may be, shall be paid to the Participant, within a reasonable time, not to exceed 90 days, after the Participant’s Date of Deferral, in a lump sum or in a number of substantially
-6-
equal annual installments (not more than 12), as designated by the Participant in his Election Form. A Participant, subject to approval by the Committee, may change the form of payment of his Account or his Date of Deferral by filing an amended Election Form with the Committee; provided, however, that any such change to an existing election (i) may not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which such Election Form is filed; and (ii) the payment with respect to which such election is made must be deferred (other than a distribution upon death or an Unforeseeable Emergency) for a period of not less than five years from the date such payment would otherwise have been paid (or in the case of installment payments treated as a single payment, five years from the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid); and (iii) any election affecting a distribution to be made at a specified time or pursuant to a fixed schedule must be made not less than 12 months before the date the amount was scheduled to be paid (or in the case of installment payments treated as a single payment, 12 months before the date the first amount was scheduled to be paid). Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, total distribution of a Participant’s Account must be made by the date such Participant attains age 85.
6.2 Death
(a) In the event of the death of a Participant, the amount of the Account shall be paid to his Beneficiary, within a reasonable time, not to exceed 90 days, after the Participant’s death.
(b) Each Participant may name one or more Beneficiaries and may also name one or more contingent Beneficiaries by making a written designation in a form acceptable to the Committee. A beneficiary designation made pursuant to the Grandfathered Plan shall remain in effect for this Plan. A Participant’s Beneficiary designation may be changed at any time prior to his death by execution and delivery of a new Beneficiary designation form. The Beneficiary designation on file with the Company at the time of the Participant’s death which bears the latest date shall govern.
(c) Payments to a Beneficiary shall be made in the same form as designated by the Participant in his Election Form. In the case of a Beneficiary of a Participant who is receiving installment payments at the time of his death, the number of annual installments may not exceed the annual installments remaining to be paid to the Participant.
(d) If no Beneficiary survives the Participant, the amount in the Account shall be paid in a lump sum to the Participant’s estate.
(e) If the Beneficiary dies after the death of the Participant, any amount otherwise payable to the Beneficiary shall be paid in a lump sum to the Beneficiary’s estate.
6.3 Unforeseeable Emergency
A Participant may request a distribution from all or part of his Account upon the occurrence of an Unforeseeable Emergency. As a condition of receiving a distribution under this Section 6.3, the Participant must file a written application with the Committee specifying the nature of the Unforeseeable Emergency, the amount needed to address the Unforeseeable Emergency and supplying any other information the Committee, in its discretion, may need to ensure that the conditions specified in this Section 6.3 are satisfied. The Committee shall, in its sole discretion,
-7-
determine whether an Unforeseeable Emergency exists and distribute an amount to the Participant which shall not be greater than the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (plus the amount necessary to pay any Federal, state, local or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution) or, if less, the value of the Participant’s Account as of the distribution date.
A distribution on account of an Unforeseeable Emergency may not be made to the extent that such emergency is or may be relieved through a cancellation of deferrals under this Plan, reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets, to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause a severe financial hardship.
6.4 Effect of Change in Control
(a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the following sentence, in the event of a Change in Control, the Plan shall be terminated and each Participant’s Account shall be paid out as of such date in a lump sum.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 6 to the contrary, if the total of the Participant’s Account under the Plan and his Account under all other arrangements that, with this Plan, would be treated as a single nonqualified deferred compensation plan (within the meaning of IRS Regulation §1.409A-1(c)(2)) is less than the limit described in Code Section 402(g)(1)(B) for the Plan Year in which the Date of Deferral occurs, such Participant’s Account may be distributed in a lump sum, but only if payment results in the termination and liquidation of the Participant’s entire interest in this Plan and all other arrangements that, along with this Plan, would be treated as a single nonqualified deferred compensation plan (as determined under IRS Regulation §1.409A-1(c)(2)).
Section 7. Amendments
The Board of Directors may from time to time amend, suspend or terminate any or all of the provisions of this Plan; provided that no such amendment, suspension, or termination shall adversely affect in any material respect any right of any Participant to receive any amount payable pursuant to the Plan (unless the affected Participant consents in writing to the application of that amendment) but this provision shall not restrict the authority of the Board of Directors to change or limit investment options. The Board of Directors may terminate the Plan at any time, provided, however, that no termination shall in and of itself cause an acceleration of the distribution of Accounts under the Plan, except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable IRS Regulations. Any such amendment to or termination of the Plan shall be in writing.
Section 8. Miscellaneous Provisions
8.1 Non-Assignability of Benefits
No Participant, Beneficiary or distributee of benefits under the Plan shall have any power or right to transfer, assign, anticipate, hypothecate or otherwise encumber any part or all of the amounts
-9-
payable hereunder, which are expressly declared to be unassignable and non-transferable. Any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void. No amount payable hereunder shall, prior to actual payment hereof, be subject to seizure by any creditor of any such Participant, Beneficiary or other distributee for the payment of any debt, judgment, or other obligation, by a proceeding at law or in equity, nor transferable by operation of law in the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency or death of such Participant, Beneficiary or other distributee hereunder.
8.2 Withholding
All deferrals and payments provided for hereunder shall be subject to applicable withholding and other deductions as shall be required of the Company under any applicable local, state or federal law.
8.3 No Trust Created
Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions by either party hereto, shall create, nor be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and the Participant, his Beneficiary, or any other person. The Company may establish a “grantor trust” (so-called “Rabbi Trust”) which is within the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States and is permitted by IRS Regulations to aid in meeting the obligations created under this Plan, but the Company intends that the assets of any such trust will at all times remain subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors and that the existence of any such Rabbi Trust will not alter the characterization of the Plan as “unfunded” for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and will not be construed to provide income to any Participant prior to actual payment under this Plan.
8.4 Unsecured General Creditor Status of Director
The payments to Participant, his Beneficiary or any other distributee hereunder shall be made from assets which shall continue, for all purposes, to be a part of the general, unrestricted assets of the Company; no person shall have or acquire any interest in any such assets by virtue of the provisions of this Plan. The obligation hereunder shall be an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future. To the extent that the Participant, a Beneficiary, or other distributee acquires a right to receive payments from the Plan under the provisions hereof, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company. No such person shall have nor require any legal or equitable right, interest or claim in or to any property or assets of any Company.
In the event that, in its discretion, the Company purchases an insurance policy or policies insuring the life of the Participant (or any other property) to allow the Company to recover the cost of providing the benefits, in whole, or in part, hereunder, neither the Participant, his Beneficiary or other distributee shall have nor acquire any rights whatsoever therein or in the proceeds therefrom. The Company shall be the sole owner and beneficiary of any such policy or policies and, as such, shall possess and may exercise all incidents of ownership therein. Except to the extent the Company may establish a Rabbi Trust as described in Section 8.3, no such policy, policies or other property shall be held in any trust for a Participant, Beneficiary or other distributee or held as collateral security for any obligation hereunder. The existence of any such Rabbi Trust does not give a Participant, Beneficiary or other distributee, any interest, direct or beneficial, in any policy,
-10-
policies or other property held in such a trust. A Participant’s participation in the underwriting or other steps necessary to acquire such policy or policies may be required by the Committee and, if required, shall not be a suggestion of any beneficial interest in such policy or policies to a Participant.
8.5 Binding Effect
This Plan shall be binding on each Participant and his heirs and legal representatives and on the Company and its successors and assigns.
8.6 Governing Laws
All provisions of the Plan shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Ohio, except to the extent pre-empted by federal law.
8.7 Code Section 409A
This Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the IRS Regulations promulgated thereunder and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall be interpreted, administered and operated accordingly. Nothing herein shall be construed as an entitlement to or guarantee of any particular tax treatment to a Participant, and none of the Company, Committee or any other person shall have any liability with respect to any failure to comply with Code Section 409A. The Company may accelerate the time or schedule of payment of a Participant’s Account at any time this Plan fails to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A. Such payment may not exceed the amount required to be included in income as a result of the failure to comply with Code Section 409A.

Worthington Steel Separation, Description of Business, and Basis of Presentation | Note A – Worthington Steel Separation, Description of Business, and Basis of Presentation
Fiscal Periods
Our fiscal year and fourth quarter ends on May 31, with “fiscal 2023” ended on May 31, 2023, and “fiscal 2024” ending on May 31, 2024. Our other quarterly periods end on the final day of August (first quarter), November (second quarter) and February (third quarter).
Worthington Steel Separation
On September 29, 2022, Worthington Industries, Inc. (“Worthington Industries,” “Worthington Enterprises, Inc.” or “Parent”) announced its intention to spin off its existing steel processing business, Worthington Steel, Inc. (“Worthington Steel,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) into a stand-alone publicly traded company through a tax-free pro rata distribution of 100% of the common shares of Worthington Steel (the “Distribution”) to holders of record of Worthington Industries common shares as of the close of business on November 21, 2023 (the “Record Date”). Each holder of record of Worthington Industries common shares received one common share of Worthington Steel for every one Worthington Industries common share held at the close of business on the Record Date (the “Distribution”). The Separation was completed on December 1, 2023 (the “Distribution Date”), at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time. In connection with the Separation, Worthington Steel made a cash distribution to Worthington Enterprises of $150.0 million from the issuances of certain debt (see Note H – Debt). Worthington Enterprises retained no ownership interest in Worthington Steel following the Separation. Also on December 1, 2023, Worthington Steel’s common shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “WS.”
On November 30, 2023, in connection with the Separation, we entered into several agreements with Worthington Enterprises, Inc. that govern the relationship between Worthington Enterprises, Inc. and us following the Distribution, including a Separation and Distribution Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, Employee Matters Agreement, and Transition Services Agreement.
Direct and incremental costs incurred in connection with the Separation, including (a) fees paid to third parties for audit, advisory, and legal services to effect the Separation, (b) non-recurring employee-related costs, such as retention bonuses, and (c) non-recurring functional costs associated with shared corporate functions (collectively, the “Separation Costs”) are presented separately in our combined statements of earnings. Separation Costs totaled $14.9 million and $8.0 million during the three months ended November 30, 2023 and three months ended November 30, 2022, respectively, and $18.5 million and $8.0 million during the six months ended November 30, 2023 and six months ended November 30, 2022, respectively.
Description of the Business
We are one of North America’s premier value-added steel processors with the ability to provide a diversified range of products and services that span a variety of end markets. We maintain market leading positions in the North American carbon flat-rolled steel and tailor welded blank industries and are one of the largest global producers of electrical steel laminations. For nearly 70 years, we have been delivering high quality steel processing capabilities across a variety of end-markets including automotive, heavy truck, agriculture, construction, and energy. With the ability to produce customized steel solutions, we aim to be the preferred value-added steel processor in the markets we serve by delivering highly technical, customer specific solutions, while also providing advanced materials support and price risk management solutions to optimize customer supply chains. Our scale and operating footprint allow us to achieve an advantaged cost structure and service platform supported by a strategic operating footprint. We serve our customers primarily by processing flat-rolled steel coils, which we source primarily from various North American steel mills, into the precise type, thickness, length, width, shape, and surface quality required by customer specifications. We sell steel on a direct basis, whereby we are exposed to the risk and rewards of ownership of the material while in our possession. Additionally, we toll process steel under a fee for service arrangement whereby we process customer-owned material. Our manufacturing facilities further benefit from the flexibility to scale between direct and tolling services based on demand dynamics throughout the year.
Basis of Presentation
Throughout the periods covered by the combined financial statements, we operated as a business of Parent. Our combined financial statements are prepared on a carve-out basis using the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Parent in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Our combined financial statements include the historical operations that comprise our business and reflect significant assumptions and allocations as well as certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held at Parent’s corporate level but are specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to us. The carve-out financial statements may not include all expenses that would have been incurred had we existed as a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented.
The combined financial statements include the accounts of Worthington Steel and its consolidated subsidiaries. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method. Material intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated.
We own controlling interests in the following three joint ventures: Spartan Steel Coating, L.L.C. (“Spartan”) (52%), TWB Company, L.L.C. (“TWB”) (55%), Worthington Samuel Coil Processing, L.L.C. (“WSCP”) (63%), and Worthington Specialty Processing (“WSP”) (51%). WSP became a non-operating joint venture on October 31, 2022, when its remaining net assets were sold. These joint ventures are consolidated with the equity owned by the other joint venture members shown as noncontrolling interests in our combined balance sheets, and their portions of net earnings and other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) shown as net earnings or comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our combined statements of earnings and comprehensive income, respectively. The investment in our unconsolidated affiliate is accounted for using the equity method. See further discussion of our unconsolidated affiliate in “Note C – Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate.”
Our operations are managed principally on a products and services basis under a single group organizational structure. After the Separation, the financial information reviewed by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources will be presented as a single component, or operating segment, and comprises all of the Company’s operations. The Company’s CODM will be its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).
The income tax provision in the carve-out statement of earnings has been calculated as if we were operating on a stand-alone basis and filed separate tax returns in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Therefore, cash tax payments and items of current and deferred taxes may not be reflective of our actual tax balances prior to or subsequent to the carve-out.
Transactions and accounts which have occurred within the Company have been eliminated, based on historical intracompany activity. Parent’s net investment in these operations, including intercompany transactions between Parent and us, are reflected as Net Worthington Enterprises, Inc. investment on the accompanying combined financial statements. Certain situations require management to make estimates based on judgments and assumptions, which may affect the reported amounts of assets and respective disclosures at the date of the financial statements. Management’s judgments and assumptions may also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Our combined financial statements include certain costs of doing business incurred by Parent at the corporate level. These costs are for (1) certain corporate support functions provided on a centralized basis, including information technology, human resources, finance, and corporate operations, amongst others, (2) profit sharing and bonuses, and (3) respective surpluses and shortfalls of various planned insurance expenses. These costs are included in the combined statements of earnings, primarily within selling, general and administrative expense (“SG&A”). These expenses have been allocated to us on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remaining allocated using related drivers associated with the nature of the business, such as, headcount or profitability, considering the characteristics of each respective cost. Management believes the assumptions regarding the allocation of Parent’s general corporate expenses are reasonable.
All other third party-debt and related interest expense not directly attributable to the Company have been excluded from the combined financial statements because we are not the legal obligor of the debt and the borrowings are not specifically identifiable to us. Additionally, as described in “Note P – Related Party Transactions”, debt and related interest expense between Parent and TWB has been attributed to the us, as we are both the legal obligor and directly benefited from the borrowings.
Additionally, Parent incurred Separation Costs that have been directly attributed to us to the extent incurred to our direct benefit and are presented separately in our combined statements of earnings.
Our combined financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred and may not reflect our combined results of earnings, balance sheet, and cash flows had we operated as a standalone company during the periods presented. Management considers these cost allocations to be reasonably reflective of our utilization of Parent’s corporate support services. Actual costs that would have been incurred if we had been a stand-alone company may have been different than these estimates during the periods presented.
Parent utilizes a centralized cash management program to manage cash for the majority of its entities. For entities that are enrolled in the program, all cash is swept into a cash pool. Accordingly, the cash and cash equivalents held by Parent at the corporate level were not attributed to us for any of the periods presented. Our foreign operations do not participate in the centralized cash management program. These cash amounts are specifically attributable to Worthington Steel and therefore are reflected in the accompanying combined balance sheets. Transfers of cash, both to and from Parent’s centralized cash management program, are reflected as a component of Net Worthington Enterprises, Inc. investment on the accompanying combined balance sheets and as a financing activity on the accompanying combined statements of cash flows.
We sell our products and services to a diverse customer base and a broad range of end markets. The automotive industry is the largest end market for us and our unconsolidated joint venture, Serviacero Planos, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Serviacero Worthington”), with sales representing 52% of our combined net sales for both the three months ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2022, and 53% and 48% of our combined net sales for the six months ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2022, respectively. Sales to one automotive customer represented 14.9% and 16.6% of our combined net sales for the three months ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2022, respectively, and 15.8% and 15.5% for the six months ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2022, respectively.
These unaudited combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by 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 Form 10-Q, necessary for a fair presentation of the combined financial statements for these interim periods, have been included. Operating results for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2024 (“fiscal 2024”). For further information, refer to the combined financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10.
The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. |

We own a noncontrolling interest (50%) in one unconsolidated joint venture: Serviacero Worthington. We account for our investment in Serviacero Worthington using the equity method of accounting. Serviacero Worthington provides steel processing services, such as pickling, blanking, slitting, multi-blanking and cutting-to-length, to customers in a variety of industries including automotive, appliance and heavy equipment.
We did not receive any distributions from Serviacero Worthington during the six months ended November 30, 2023 or the six months ended November 30, 2022. The following tables summarize the combined financial information of Serviacero Worthington as of the dates, and for the periods, presented:

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Note D – Impairment of Long-Lived Assets During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we committed to plans to liquidate certain fixed assets at our WSCP joint venture’s toll processing facility in Cleveland, Ohio. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the net assets were recorded at the lower of net book value or fair market value less costs to sell resulting in a pre-tax impairment charge of $0.3 million. No impairment charges were recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we lowered our estimate of fair value less costs to sell to reflect the expected scrap value of the toll processing equipment, $0.2 million, resulting in a pre-tax impairment charge of $1.4 million. No impairment charges were recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2024. |

We consider restructuring activities to be programs whereby we fundamentally change our operations, such as divestitures, closing or consolidating facilities, employee severance (including rationalizing headcount or other significant changes in personnel), and realignment of existing operations (including changes to management structure in response to underlying performance and/or changing market conditions).
Restructuring and other income, net in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 of $4.3 million resulted primarily from the sale of the remaining net assets of WSP on October 31, 2022. The sale resulted in net cash proceeds of $20.8 million which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $3.9 million.
There were no liabilities associated with our restructuring activities at November 30, 2023. |

Contingent Liabilities and Commitments | Note F – Contingent Liabilities and Commitments Legal Proceedings 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 combined financial position or future results of operations. We are involved in various judicial and administrative proceedings, as both plaintiff and defendant, arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operation or cash flows. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Debt | Note H – Debt The following table summarizes our debt outstanding at November 30, 2023 and May 31, 2023:
Maturities of long-term debt and short-term borrowings in the current fiscal year and next four fiscal years thereafter, are as follows:
Revolving Credit Facility On November 30, 2023, we entered into a multi-year senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) scheduled to mature on November 30, 2028, with a group of lenders. The Credit Facility allows for borrowings of up to $550.0 million, to the extent secured by eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances at period end, which consist primarily of U.S. Dollar denominated account balances. Amounts drawn under the Credit Facility will have maturities of up to one year and will accrue interest at rates equal to an applicable margin over the SOFR Rate. We incurred approximately $2.7 million of issuance costs, of which $2.5 million will be amortized to interest expense over the expected five-year term and are reflected in other assets. As of November 30, 2023, $175.0 million was outstanding under the Credit Facility, of which $150.0 million was paid to Worthington Enterprises, Inc. on December 1, 2023, in connection with the Separation. As of November 30, 2023, the interest rate on the Credit Facility was 6.95%.
Term Loan Facility with Worthington Enterprises, Inc. On June 8, 2021, TWB entered into a $50.0 million term loan agreement (the “TWB Term Loan”) with a subsidiary of Parent that matures in annual installments through May 31, 2024. This note accrues interest at a rate of 5.0% per annum and had a balance of $20.0 million at November 30, 2023 and May 31, 2023, which is classified separately within current liabilities in our combined balance sheet. The borrowings are the legal obligation of TWB and require settlement, in cash, in accordance with the loan agreement. As such, the debt and related interest have been attributed to us in the combined financial statements. The proceeds were used by TWB to finance the Shiloh U.S BlankLight® purchase price.
The Parent’s note receivable associated with the TWB Term Loan was contributed to us in connection with the Separation on December 1, 2023. Other - Tempel China Tempel's subsidiary in China (“Tempel China”) had short-term loan facilities, which were used to finance steel purchases, and were collateralized by Tempel China property and equipment. Borrowings outstanding under the facility totaled $2.8 million at May 31, 2023. These loans were paid off in June 2023, which resulted in a balance of $0 at November 30, 2023. Accounts Receivable Securitization On June 29, 2023, we terminated our revolving trade accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”) because it was no longer needed. No early termination or other similar fees or penalties were paid in connection with the termination of the AR Facility. |

Income Taxes | Note K – Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate was 29.9% and 25.9% for the three months ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2022, respectively, and 21.6% and 24.9% for the six months ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2022, respectively. The effective tax rates differed from the statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible expenses in foreign jurisdictions and executive compensation, and discrete items related to equity compensation.
The provision for income taxes is based on a current estimate of the annual effective income tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items and excludes any impact from the inclusion of net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in our combined statements of earnings. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests are a result of our consolidated joint ventures. The net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests in the U.S. operations of our consolidated joint ventures and do not generate tax expense to us since the investors are taxed directly based on the earnings attributable to the investors. The tax expense of TWB’s wholly-owned foreign corporations is reported in our combined income tax expense. 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 2024 could be materially different from the forecasted rate as of November 30, 2023. |

Acquisitions | Note M – Acquisitions
Voestalpine Automotive Components Nagold GmbH & Co. KG
On November 16, 2023, we acquired Voestalpine Automotive Components Nagold GmbH & Co. KG (“Voestalpine”), a facility in Nagold, Germany for net cash consideration of $21.0 million and the assumption of a $0.9 million pension liability. Voestalpine produces automotive and electrical steel lamination stampings in Europe. The total purchase consideration was allocated primarily to tangible assets, consisting of $12.3 million of property, plant and equipment and $9.0 million of net working capital, with $0.6 million recognized as goodwill. The information included herein has been prepared based on the preliminary allocation of the purchase price using estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired. The purchase price allocation is subject to further adjustment until we fully evaluate all pertinent information regarding the assets acquired. 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 purchase price also includes strategic benefits specific to us, which resulted in a purchase price in excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes. The results of operations of Voestalpine have been included in our combined statements of earnings since the date of acquisition. Proforma results, including the acquired business since the beginning of fiscal 2023, would not be materially different from the reported results. |

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities | Note N – Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities We utilize derivative financial instruments to primarily manage exposure to certain risks related to our ongoing operations. The primary risks managed through the use of derivative financial instruments include foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk. While certain of our derivative financial instruments are designated as hedging instruments, we also enter into derivative financial 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 financial instruments are adjusted to current fair value through earnings at the end of each period. Commodity Price Risk Management – We are exposed to changes in the price of certain commodities, including steel, 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 financial instruments to manage the associated price risk. We are exposed to counterparty credit risk on all of our derivative financial instruments. Accordingly, we have established and maintain strict counterparty credit guidelines. We have credit support agreements in place with certain counterparties to limit our credit exposure. These agreements require either party to post cash collateral if its cumulative market position exceeds a predefined liability threshold. Amounts posted to the margin accounts accrue interest at market rates and are required to be refunded in the period in which the cumulative market position falls below the required threshold. We do not have significant exposure to any one counterparty, and management believes the overall 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 financial instruments, as well as how fair value is determined.
The following table summarizes the fair value of our derivative financial instruments and the respective lines in which they were recorded in the combined balance sheet at November 30, 2023:
The amounts in the table above reflect the fair value of our derivative financial instruments on a net basis where allowable under master netting arrangements. Had these amounts been recognized on a gross basis, the impact would have been a $3.0 million increase in receivables with a corresponding increase in accounts payable. The following table summarizes the fair value of our derivative financial instruments and the respective lines in which they were recorded in the combined balance sheet at May 31, 2023:
The amounts in the table above reflect the fair value of our derivative financial instruments on a net basis where allowable under master netting arrangements. Had these amounts been recognized on a gross basis, the impact would have been a $7.3 million increase in receivables with a corresponding increase in accounts payable. Cash Flow Hedges We enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in cash flows attributable to commodity price fluctuations associated with certain forecasted transactions. These derivative financial instruments are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the effective portion of the gain or loss on each of these derivative financial instruments is reported as a component of OCI and reclassified into earnings in the same line 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 financial instrument is recognized in earnings immediately. The following table summarizes our cash flow hedges outstanding at November 30, 2023:
The following table summarizes our cash flow hedges outstanding at May 31, 2023:
The following table summarizes the gain (loss) recognized in OCI and the gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into net earnings for derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges for the periods presented:
The estimated net amount of the gain recognized in AOCI at November 30, 2023 expected to be reclassified into net earnings within the succeeding 12 months is $5.7 million (net of tax of $1.7 million). This amount was computed using the fair value of the cash flow hedges at November 30, 2023, and will change before actual reclassification from OCI to net earnings during the fiscal years ending May 31, 2024 and May 31, 2025. Economic (Non-designated) Hedges We enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to manage our foreign currency exchange rate 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 financial instruments are adjusted to current market value at the end of each period through gain (loss) recognized in earnings. The following table summarizes our economic (non-designated) derivative financial instruments outstanding at November 30, 2023:
The following table summarizes our economic (non-designated) derivative financial instruments outstanding at May 31, 2023:

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 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly. 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 November 30, 2023, our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:
(1) The fair value of our derivative financial instruments 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 Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities” for additional information regarding our use of derivative financial instruments.
At May 31, 2023, our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:
(1) The fair value of our derivative financial instruments 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 Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities” for additional information regarding our use of derivative financial instruments.
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
At November 30, 2023, there were no assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis on our combined balance sheet.
At May 31, 2023, our assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis were as follows:
(1) Comprised of the following: (a) idled equipment at the manufacturing facility in Taylor, Michigan; and (b) the net assets of our former WSCP toll processing facility in Cleveland, Ohio.
The fair value of non-derivative financial instruments included in the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, income taxes receivable, other assets, accounts payable, 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. Market pricing for our long-term debt with Worthington Enterprises, Inc. is not available; however, based on the stated interest rate and tenor as well as the market movements since issuance, we do not believe fair value would be materially different from the carrying value of the TWB Term Loan (including current maturities), which was $20.0 million at November 30, 2023 and May 31, 2023. The remaining carrying value of debt was $175.0 million at November 30, 2023, and relates to the Credit Facility, which due to its short-term nature, approximates fair value. The Credit Facility was entered into as of November 30, 2023, therefore there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility at May 31, 2023. |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Related Party Transactions | Note P – Related Party Transactions
Historically, we were been managed and operated in the normal course of business by Parent. Transactions through November 30, 2023 between Parent and us have been accounted for as related party transactions in the accompanying combined financial statements, as described below:
Allocation of General Corporate Costs
Certain support functions have been provided to us on a centralized basis from Parent, including information technology, human resources, finance, and corporate operations, amongst others, profit sharing and bonuses, and respective surpluses and shortfalls of various planned insurance expenses. For purposes of these combined financial statements, these corporate and other shared costs have been attributed to us on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of headcount or profitability, considering the characteristics of each respective cost. Management believes the assumptions regarding the allocation of Parent’s general corporate expenses are reasonable. Nevertheless, the combined financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred and may not reflect combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows had we been a stand-alone public company during the periods presented. Substantially all of the allocated corporate costs are included in SG&A expense in the combined statements of earnings.
Our allocated expenses from Parent, which are substantially recorded in SG&A expense in the combined statements of earnings, were $19.5 million and $17.8 million for the three months ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2022, respectively, and $38.5 million and $32.1 million for the six months ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2022, respectively.
Attribution of Separation Costs
Parent incurred Separation Costs that have been directly attributed to us to the extent incurred to our direct benefit and are presented separately in our combined statements of earnings.
Sales to Parent
Net sales to Parent totaled $19.3 million and $26.4 million for the three months ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2022, respectively, and $43.8 million and $62.1 million for the six months ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2022, respectively.
Due to/from Parent
Given that cash was managed centrally, long-term intercompany financing arrangements were used to fund expansion or certain working capital needs. Excluding the TWB Term Loan disclosed in “Note H – Debt”, debt resulting from these long-term intercompany financing arrangements has been reflected in Net Worthington Enterprises, Inc.
