Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.



Management of Worthington Industries, Inc. (the "Registrant") conducted a
conference call on March 26, 2020, beginning at approximately 10:30 a.m.,
Eastern Daylight Time, to discuss the Registrant's unaudited financial results
for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 (the fiscal quarter ended February 29,
2020). Additionally, the Registrant's management addressed certain issues
related to the outlook for the Registrant and its subsidiaries and their
respective markets for the coming months. A copy of the transcript of the
conference call is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K
and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information contained in this Item 2.02 and in Exhibit 99.1 furnished with
this Current Report on Form 8-K, is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and
shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to
the liabilities of that Section, unless the Registrant specifically states that
the information is to be considered "filed" under the Exchange Act or
incorporates the information by reference into a filing under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or the Exchange Act.

In the conference call, management referred to quarterly earnings per share
excluding impairment, restructuring, and the impact of the tank replacement
program. This represents a non-GAAP financial measure and is used by management
as a measure of operating performance. Earnings per share excluding impairment,
restructuring, and the impact of the tank replacement program is calculated by
adding or subtracting, as appropriate, impairment of goodwill and long-lived
assets and restructuring and other expense (income), net, the impact of the tank
replacement program, and the gain on consolidation of Samuel Steel Pickling
(each after tax) to/from net earnings attributable to controlling interest, and
dividing the result by the average diluted common shares for the period. The
difference between the GAAP-based financial measure of diluted earnings per
share attributable to controlling interest and the non-GAAP financial measure of
diluted earnings per share excluding impairment, restructuring and the impact of
the tank replacement program for the fiscal quarters ended February 29, 2020 and
February 28, 2019, as mentioned in the conference call, is outlined below.

In the conference call, management referred to operating income excluding
impairment, restructuring, and the impact of the tank replacement program for
the Registrant's Pressure Cylinders operating segment. This represents a
non-GAAP financial measure and is used by management as a measure of operating
performance. Operating income excluding impairment, restructuring and the impact
of the tank replacement program is calculated by adding or subtracting, as
appropriate, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, restructuring and
other expense (income), net, and the impact of the tank replacement program
to/from operating income. The difference between the GAAP-based measure of
operating income and the non-GAAP financial measure of operating income
excluding impairment, restructuring, and the impact of the tank replacement
program for the fiscal quarters ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019,
as mentioned in the conference call, is outlined below for the Registrant's
Pressure Cylinders operating segment:

In the conference call, management referred to earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and trailing twelve months adjusted
EBITDA. These represent non-GAAP financial measures and are used by management
as measures of operating performance. EBITDA is calculated by adding or
subtracting, as appropriate, interest expense, income tax expense (benefit) and
depreciation and amortization to/from net earnings attributable to controlling
interest and adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding or subtracting, as
appropriate, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, restructuring and
other expense (income), net, loss on early extinguishment of debt, impairment of
investment in unconsolidated joint venture, gain on sale of assets within equity
income, gain on consolidation of Samuel Steel Pickling and other non-recurring
expense (each pre-tax) to/from EBITDA. The difference between the GAAP-based
measure of net earnings attributable to controlling interest and the non-GAAP
financial measure of adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months ended
February 29, 2020 as mentioned in the conference call, is outlined below.
