Worthington Steel, Inc. reported fiscal 2026 third-quarter net sales of $769.8 million, up 12% from $687.4 million a year earlier, driven by higher direct volumes and higher average direct selling prices, partly offset by weaker toll volumes. Operating income fell to $3.1 million from $18.3 million as gross margin declined and selling, general and administrative expense rose, including $15.4 million of professional fees tied to the proposed acquisition of Klöckner & Co SE.
Net earnings attributable to controlling interest were $10.4 million, down from $13.8 million, with diluted EPS of $0.20 versus $0.27.
