| Metric | Latest | YoYYoY means Year-over-Year. It compares the latest annual value with the previous annual value to show long-term trend strength. | QoQQoQ means Quarter-over-Quarter. It compares the latest quarter with the immediately previous quarter to show short-term momentum changes. |
|---|---|---|---|
| RevenueThe total money that came through the front door from selling things, before paying a single bill. Think of it as the grand total of every credit card swipe from customers. (YoY compares this year to last year's performance, while QoQ compares the current three months to the previous three). | $3.4B | +11.3% | +20.7% |
| Net IncomeThe absolute bottom line. If the company paid every single supplier, employee, banker, and tax collector, this is the actual money left in their pocket at the end of the day. | $17.3M | -84.4% | -568.3% |
| Gross MarginThe basic markup. If they sell a $100 pair of sneakers, this percentage tells you how much of that price tag is profit right after paying for the rubber and shoelaces, but before paying for things like store rent or TV commercials. | +11.7% | -6.9% | +28.6% |
| Operating MarginThe 'day job' efficiency score. Out of every dollar a customer spends, this shows how many cents the company keeps after making the product AND paying for all the everyday corporate overhead (like salaries, marketing, and keeping the lights on). | +3.1% | -35.8% | +2283.6% |
| Net MarginThe final take-home percentage. When you strip away every conceivable cost, tax, and interest payment, this is the exact number of cents the company truly gets to keep from every dollar in sales. | +0.5% | -86.0% | -487.9% |
| Free Cash FlowThe holy grail of corporate cash. It's the spendable, physical money left over after the business pays for its daily operations AND buys the big, expensive upgrades (like new factories or servers) it needs to survive. This is the 'free' money they can use to pay dividends or buy back stock. | $80.0M | -19.9% | -132.9% |
| FCF MarginThe ultimate cash conversion rate. It shows how good the company is at turning regular sales directly into cold, hard, spendable cash. A high percentage means the business is an absolute cash-printing machine. | +2.3% | -28.1% | -127.2% |
| Debt / EquityThe financial risk gauge. It compares how much of the company's empire was built using borrowed money (loans) versus the owners' own money (shareholders). A high number means they are heavily leveraged and playing a riskier game; a low number means they are playing it safe. | 33.1% | +55.8% | +5.4% |
| Current RatioThe 12-month survival check. It simply compares the cash they have right now (plus things they can quickly turn into cash) against the immediate bills they absolutely must pay this year. A score above 1 means they have enough in the wallet to cover the upcoming bills without panicking. | 1.46x | -12.1% | -1.7% |
| Total AssetsThe absolute size of the company's empire. It bundles together absolutely everything of value they own—from the cash in the register and the inventory in the warehouse, to the software patents in the vault and the factories on the ground. | $2.3B | +15.7% | -2.0% |
| Metric | Annual (A vs E) | Annual Surprise | Quarter (A vs E) | Quarter Surprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPS Surprise | 0.35 vs 2.16 | -83.8% | -0.98 vs 1.13 | -186.8% |

Operator: Thank you for standing by, and welcome to Worthington Steel's fourth quarter fiscal 2026 earnings call. I would now like to turn the call over to Melissa Dykstra, Vice President of Corporate Communications and Investor Relations. Melissa Dykstra: Thank you, operator. Good morning and welcome to Worthington Steel's fourth quarter fiscal year 2026 earnings call. On our call today, we have Jeff Gilmore, Worthington Steel's President and Chief Executive Officer, and Tim Adams, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Before we begin, I'd like to remind everyone that certain statements made today are forward-looking within the meaning of the 1995 Private Securities Litigation Reform Act. We issued our earnings release yesterday after the market closed. Unless noted as reported, today's discussion will reference non-GAAP financial measures. You can find definitions of each non-GAAP measure and GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations within our earnings release. Today's call is being recorded, and a replay will be available later today on worthingtonsteel.com. Now, I'll turn it over to Jeff Gilmore. Geoff Gilmore: Good morning, and thank you for joining us. Before I get into the quarter, I want to start with the most important development since our last call. On June 3rd, we completed the Klöckner & Co. transaction and became the majority shareholder of the company. This is the largest acquisition in Worthington Steel's history, and it is a defining step in building our future. I want to thank our teams across Worthington Steel and our new colleagues at Klöckner. This was a demanding quarter with a lot happening at once. Through it all, our team stayed focused on safety, serving customers, and executing every day while we took a major strategic step as a company. The transaction builds directly on what we have been working towards since becoming a standalone public company — a business anchored in value-added processing, disciplined capital allocation, and continuous improvement through the Worthington Business System. The Klöckner acquisition materially expands our scale, capabilities, and reach. It gives us a broader set of products and processing capabilities, a larger and more complementary footprint, and increased end market diversification. Klöckner brings an established footprint and a portfolio that broadens our offerings to include aluminum, stainless, long products, plate, and fabrication, while complementing our strengths in carbon flat roll and our growing position in electrical steel. This transaction gives us more ways to serve our customers, more avenues for profitable growth, and further strengthens our ability to deliver strong performance through cycles. A broader, more balanced portfolio paired with more value-added processing can improve the quality of earnings through the cycle and reduce reliance on any single end market or product category. We also see a clear opportunity to create value over time through operating …
