Worthington Industries reported a solid first quarter for QQ1 2026, underpinned by a resilient top line and a notably favorable pre-tax contribution from non-operating income. Revenue totaled $303.7 million, down 4.7% year over year, while net income reached $35.15 million with a diluted EPS of $0.71. The gross margin stood at 27.09% and the operating margin was 3.04%, reflecting ongoing cost discipline but a relatively modest operating earnings base. A material driver of overall pretax profitability was “totalOtherIncomeExpensesNet” of $36.44 million, which more than offset the modest operating income of $9.24 million. This composition suggests that one-time or non-core items contributed meaningfully to current period profitability, warranting close scrutiny of sustainability going forward.
