About Worthington Enterprises, Inc.

About Worthington Enterprises, Inc.

Worthington Enterprises split fiscal 2025 consolidated net sales 57% from Building Products and 43% from Consumer Products, with international operations contributing approximately 17% of revenue — primarily from European customers. The company employed approximately 3,400 people as of May 31, 2025, with roughly 10% covered by collective bargaining agreements, and completed the Ragasco composite propane cylinder acquisition for $108.6 million in June 2024.

Worthington Enterprises earns revenue through two distinct product lines. Building Products sells pressurized containment solutions — refrigerant cylinders, LPG cylinders, well water tanks, and expansion tanks — to gas producers, distributors, and HVAC customers; the June 2025 acquisition of Elgen added HVAC ductwork and structural framing. The segment believes it holds the largest market share in the domestic low-pressure cylinder market and benefits from equity income in two unconsolidated joint ventures: WAVE (ceiling suspension systems, 50%-owned with Armstrong World Industries) and ClarkDietrich (light gauge steel framing, 25%-owned). Consumer Products sells torches, helium balloon kits, specialty hand tools, and gas grills under brands including Bernzomatic, Balloon Time, and Coleman (licensed) through mass merchandisers and home centers, with one retail customer accounting for approximately 28% of Consumer Products net sales and 12% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2025. Steel, aluminum, copper, and propane are the principal raw materials, sourced from multiple suppliers including related-party Worthington Steel under a post-separation supply agreement.

Show full overview

Worthington Enterprises faces simultaneous cyclical exposure across residential and non-residential construction (Building Products) and consumer discretionary spending (Consumer Products). The 10-K notes that revenue from new non-residential construction can lag construction starts by as much as 24 months, prolonging the impact of a downturn well beyond the initial economic signal. Steel price volatility may weigh on margins if competitive conditions or contractual obligations prevent full pass-through of cost increases to customers. Consumer Products demand is additionally sensitive to inflationary pressures, consumer debt ratios, and seasonal DIY activity patterns.
