ITEM 12 - RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On June 23, 2004, Worthington Industries, Inc. (the "Registrant")
issued a press release reporting results for the three and twelve month periods
ended May 31, 2004. A copy of the press release (the "Release") is attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Release contains financial information which will allow investors
to make calculations to compare results excluding the special items recognized
in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004 ended May 31, 2004. We believe that
this information will enable investors to more readily compare both
quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year results on a GAAP basis and
quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year results excluding the impact of these
special items.
We use the results, excluding the special items, as a measure of our
normal operating performance which is factored into evaluations and compensation
payments.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit
99.1 included herewith, is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for
purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange
Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, except if the
Registrant specifically states that the information is to be considered "filed"
under the Exchange Act or incorporates it by reference into a filing under the
Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Exchange Act, the Registrant has
duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto
duly authorized.
