Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Worthington Industries, Inc. (the "Company") today is filing its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q reporting results for its fiscal quarter ended November 30,
2008 (the second quarter of fiscal 2009). The Company's net loss for the second
quarter as reported in the Form 10-Q is $164.7 million ($2.09 per share), which
is $5.2 million ($0.07 per share) more than the net loss for the second quarter
as announced in the news release issued by the Company on December 18, 2008. The
net loss for the six-month period ended November 30, 2008, is also $5.2 million
($0.07 per share) more than that announced in the news release. The reason for
the differences is a change in the timing of the tax benefits associated with
the $96.9 million goodwill write-off in the Metal Framing segment in the
Company's second quarter.
