About Worthington Enterprises, Inc.

About Worthington Enterprises, Inc.

Building Products generated approximately 57% of Worthington Enterprises' consolidated net sales in fiscal 2025, up from 50% in fiscal 2024, while Consumer Products contributed 43%, with 28% of that segment's sales attributable to its largest customer. International operations, primarily in Europe, made up 17% of consolidated net sales, and one retail customer accounted for 12% of total consolidated net sales in fiscal 2025.

Worthington sells Consumer Products — propane cylinders, torches, tools, and grills under brands including Bernzomatic, Coleman, Garden-Weasel, and Halo — primarily through mass merchandisers, retailers, and distributors, with demand tied to seasonal DIY activity and consumer discretionary spending. Building Products sells pressurized containment solutions (refrigerant and LPG cylinders, well water and expansion tanks) directly to gas producers and distributors, supplemented by a 50%-owned ceiling-suspension joint venture with Armstrong World Industries (WAVE) and a 25%-owned metal-framing joint venture (ClarkDietrich), whose revenue is tied to residential and non-residential construction cycles that can lag construction starts by up to 24 months. The company's most important raw materials are steel, aluminum, copper, and propane; it purchases steel in large quantities from Worthington Steel — the former steel-processing business spun off in December 2023 — under a Steel Supply Agreement, though it says steel supply relationships generally can be replaced without significant interruption. Recent acquisitions include Elgen (HVAC components, June 2025) and Ragasco (composite propane cylinders, June 2024).

Show full overview

Worthington's Building Products revenue carries a structural timing lag the 10-K quantifies directly: new non-residential construction revenue can trail construction starts by as much as 24 months, meaning today's non-residential permitting data won't show up in Worthington's results until roughly two years later. That lag sits alongside a separate, faster-cycling exposure in Consumer Products, where seasonal DIY and outdoor-recreation demand responds quickly to consumer confidence and discretionary spending — pairing a slow-moving, construction-cycle business with a fast-moving, consumer-spending-cycle business inside the same two-segment company, a structural mismatch in cyclicality timing rather than a single, uniform economic exposure.
