Dow Jones06-24

By Grace Yoon

 

Worthington Enterprises had a higher profit in its fourth quarter as recent acquisitions provided a double-digit boost to sales.

The building and consumer products company reported net income of $48.1 million, or 97 cents a share, compared with $3.88 million, or 8 cents a share, in the same quarter a year earlier.

Adjusted earnings were 97 cents a share. Analysts polled by FactSet expected $1.06 a share.

Revenue rose 17% to $317.5 million, falling short of analyst expectations for $386.5 million. Sales increased nearly 28% in its building products business, primarily due to acquisitions, and rose slightly in its consumer product unit.

Shares fell 12.6% in after-hours trading to $53.35. Through Tuesday's close, the stock had gained 18.3% this year.

Chief Executive Joe Hayek said the company would focus on integrating its recent acquisitions to build growth momentum.

Worthington closed its $205 million acquisition of LSI Group, which operates in the commercial metal roof market, in January.

The company also raised its quarterly dividend by 5%, to 20 cents a share from 19 cents. The new payout, equal to 80 cents, represents an annual yield of about 1.3% based on Tuesday's closing price of $61.03. The dividend is payable September 29.
