REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Plan Administrator

Worthington Industries, Inc. Deferred Profit Sharing Plan

Columbus, Ohio

We have audited the accompanying Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits of the WORTHINGTON INDUSTRIES, INC. DEFERRED PROFIT SHARING PLAN (the “Plan”) and related Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. These financial statements and supplemental schedule are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Worthington Industries, Inc. Deferred Profit Sharing Plan as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The supplemental Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes at End of Year as of December 31, 2014 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedule reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedule, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with Department of Labor’s (DOL) Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental schedule is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Worthington Industries, Inc.

Deferred Profit Sharing Plan

 

1. Description of Plan

The following description of the Worthington Industries, Inc. Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

General:

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all non-union employees of Worthington Industries, Inc. (“Worthington”) and its subsidiaries who are participating employers under the Plan (collectively the “Company”) who meet the hour and age requirements. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The trustee for the Plan is Fidelity Management Trust Company (the “Trustee”). Worthington is the Plan Sponsor.

The Plan is one of three plans within the Worthington Deferred Profit Sharing Plan Master Trust (the “Master Trust”). The other plans are the Worthington Industries, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan for Collectively Bargained Employees and the Dietrich Industries, Inc. Salaried Employees’ Profit Sharing Plan.

Eligibility:

All non-union, full-time employees of the Company age eighteen and older and who are employed for 90 days are eligible to participate in the Plan. These employees are eligible to participate in the employer contribution component of the Plan after six months of employment. Effective January 1, 2014, these employees are no longer required to be employed for 90 days in order to participate in the employee deferral component of the Plan. All seasonal and part-time employees of the Company age eighteen and older who are employed for one year are eligible to participate in the Plan, and become eligible to participate in the employer contribution component of the Plan at that time as well.

Contributions:

Employee deferral - Participants may make contributions on a ROTH, or after-tax, basis. Accordingly, participants may make pre-tax and/or ROTH contributions up to a maximum of 90% of their annual compensation. Contributions are subject to annual addition and other limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) as defined in the Plan document.

Employer contributions - The Company matches 50 cents per dollar of voluntary contributions of the first 4% of such participants’ compensation (3% of compensation for an Angus participating employee). The Company also makes an employer contribution of 3% of compensation to eligible participants. This contribution is made each pay period. As a safe harbor plan, the Company guarantees a minimum contribution of at least 3% of participants’ eligible compensation.

Effective January 1, 2014, participants in the Plan who have otherwise not made an enrollment designation will be subject to an automatic enrollment arrangement whereby 4% of their

 

-8-


Table of Contents

compensation will be automatically contributed to the Plan. Additionally, effective March 1, 2014, contributions for active participants for whom a current automatic enrollment contribution of 2% is being made will be increased to 4% of compensation. The automatic enrollment designation can be cancelled by the employee.

Additional Company contributions may be contributed at the option of the Plan Sponsor and will be allocated based on the unit credit method. The unit credit method uses the employees’ years of service and compensation to allocate any additional contribution.

Participant Accounts - Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, employer matching contributions, employer contributions, earnings and losses thereon and an allocation of the Plan’s administrative expenses. Substantially all administrative fees are paid by the Plan, through allocation, both direct and indirect, to its participants.

Rollover contributions from other plans are also accepted, provided certain specified conditions are met.

Investment Options:

Participants direct their contributions among a choice of the Plan’s investment options. All contributions are allocated to the designated investment options according to each participant’s election, although, to the extent that a participant receiving a contribution made no allocation election, the participant’s contribution is invested in the applicable Fidelity Freedom Fund, as determined by the age of the participant.

Effective December 6, 2012, future contributions to the Worthington Industries, Inc. Common Stock fund are limited to not more than 25% of the total contributions made by or for a participant to the Plan. A participant will be prohibited from making investment exchanges to the Worthington Industries, Inc. Common Stock fund if the participant’s investment in the fund equals or exceeds 25% of such person’s total accounts.

Vesting:

All participants are 100% vested in all contributions and related earnings credited to their accounts.

Forfeitures:

Non-vested account balances are forfeited either upon full distribution of vested balances or completion of five consecutive one-year breaks in service, as defined by the Plan document. Forfeitures are either used to reduce Company contributions to the Plan or to pay reasonable expenses of the Plan, as determined by the Plan Sponsor.

During 2013, the Company discovered the failure of the Plan to allocate non-vested amounts held in the Plan’s forfeiture accounts annually, as required by the provisions of the Plan document in effect prior to March 1, 1995. For the 1995 through 2013 Plan years, the Company held non-vested amounts in the Plan’s forfeiture account, thus maintaining an unallocated suspense account for a period of more than one year in violation of IRS regulations. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, forfeited non-vested accounts were $139,783 and $150,381, respectively.

 

-9-


Table of Contents

The Company disclosed this error to the IRS through a Voluntary Compliance Program (“VCP”) filing in June 2014 and is waiting to receive IRS approval regarding the proposed correction. In its VCP filing, the Company proposed that the amounts held in the Plan’s forfeiture accounts be allocated to participants who were both a) employed by the Company or other participating employer on December 31, 1995; and b) remained employed on the date that the IRS approves the VCP filing.

Notes Receivable from Participants:

Loans are permitted under certain circumstances and are subject to limitations. Participants may borrow from their fund accounts up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. Loans are to be repaid over a period not to exceed 5 years, except when used for the purchase of a primary residence.

The loans are secured by the balances in the participants’ accounts and bear interest at rates established by the Trustee. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.

Other Plan Provisions:

Normal retirement age is 62, or when the sum of the participant’s age and years of service equals 70. The Plan also provides for early payment of benefits to in-service employees, with certain restrictions, after reaching age 59-1/2.

Payment of Benefits:

Upon termination of service due to death, disability, retirement or other reasons, a participant may receive the value of the vested interest in his or her account as a lump-sum distribution.

Hardship Withdrawals:

Hardship withdrawals are permitted in accordance with Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) guidelines.

 

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting:

The Plan’s transactions are reported on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

As described in current accounting guidance, investment contracts held by a defined contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. As required by U.S. GAAP, the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits present the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits are prepared on a contract value basis.

Table of Contents

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition:

The Master Trust’s investments are stated at fair value as of year-end. Fair values for mutual funds and Worthington Industries, Inc. Common Stock are determined by the respective quoted market prices. Fair value of the common collective trust (“CCT”) is determined by dividing the trust’s net assets at fair value by its units outstanding at the valuation dates. Fair value of investments in wrapper contracts within the CCT are measured using a discounted cash flow model, which considers recent fee bids as determined by recognized dealers, discount rates and the duration of the underlying fund securities. The primary goal of the CCT is to seek current income while maintaining stability of invested principal. The CCT is invested and reinvested primarily in a diversified portfolio of fixed-income instruments which may include traditional and separate account guaranteed investment contracts (obligations of creditworthy life insurance companies), corporate investment contracts, synthetic GICs (high-quality debt securities including mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed, asset-backed and corporate securities held by the CCT within contracts that are intended to minimize market volatility), variable rate GICs, repurchase agreements, US treasury and agency securities, and cash and cash equivalents, including certificates of deposit and money market instruments. The CCT may also invest in a collective fund or group trust (including but not limited to one maintained by The Bank of New York Mellon or its affiliate) that invests in such fixed income instruments. No investment contract in which the CCT invests will have a duration of more than six years from the date of issuance. The CCT will operate with a weighted average duration selected by The Bank of New York Mellon, in its capacity as Trustee of the fund from time to time, but such weighted average duration generally will average between 1.0 and 3.0 years. Participants may purchase or redeem units of the CCT for cash or securities based on the unit value determined as of the valuation date. Unit value is generally determined each business day of the year. All participants have a proportionate undivided interest in the net assets of the CCT.

Life insurance contracts held by the Plan are valued at their cash surrender value.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis using fair market value, except for those investments in investment contracts which are transacted at contract value. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest is recorded on the accrual basis.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Plan Termination:

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.

Plan-to-Plan Transfers:

Participants within the Plan are permitted to transfer their account to another plan provided by the Company in the event they change employers within the affiliate group. This activity is shown, net, on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.

Table of Contents

Effective October 9, 2014, the Plan was amended, allowing the assets of the TWB Company, LLC Deferred Profit Sharing Plan (the “TWB Plan”) to merge into and become part of the Plan. The assets of the TWB Plan with a fair value of $24,493,109 became assets of the Plan as of November 3, 2014.

Effective February 28, 2014, the Plan was amended, allowing the assets of the ProCoil Company, LLC Retirement Savings Plan (the “ProCoil Plan”) for noncollectively bargained employees to merge into and become part of the Plan. The assets of the ProCoil Plan with a fair value of $1,601,050 became assets of the Plan as of February 28, 2014.

Effective February 28, 2014, the Plan was amended, allowing the assets of the Westerman Companies Savings Incentive Plan (the “Westerman Plan”) to merge into and become part of the Plan. The assets of the Westerman Plan with a fair value of $10,274,568 became assets of the Plan as of February 28, 2014.

Effective September 3, 2013, the Plan was amended, allowing the assets of the Angus Industries, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan (the “Angus Plan”) to be transferred to and become part of the Plan. Effective on and after September 3, 2013, Angus Industries, Inc., n/k/a Worthington Industries Engineered Cabs, Inc., Angus-Palm LLC, n/k/a Worthington Industries Engineered Cabs, LLC, Angus-Palm LLC and Advanced Component Technologies, Inc. are classified as a participating employer in the Plan with regard to individuals who were classified as employees under the Angus Plan. The assets of the Angus Plan with a fair value of $11,039,291 became assets of the Plan as of September 3, 2013.

 

3. Tax Status

The Plan received a determination letter from the IRS dated November 25, 2002, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the IRC, and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Subsequent to this determination by the IRS, the Plan was amended. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification. The Plan Sponsor believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore, believes that the Plan, as amended, is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt. In January 2011, the Plan applied for a new determination letter from the IRS.

U.S. GAAP requires plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken uncertain tax positions that more-likely-than-not would not be sustained upon examination by applicable taxing authorities. The Plan administrator has analyzed tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, there are no uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken, that would require recognition of a liability or that would require disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. However, currently no audits for any tax periods are in progress.

 

4. Investments

The Plan’s share of the investments held by the Master Trust was approximately 94% and 92% at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Each participating retirement plan has a specific interest in the Master Trust. Net investment income for the Plan is based upon its actual holdings of the net assets of the Master Trust.

5. Benefit-Responsive Contracts

The Plan holds a stable value investment contract (the “portfolio”) with the Trustee. The portfolio is an open-end commingled pool dedicated exclusively to the management of assets of defined contribution plans. The portfolio invests in underlying assets, typically fixed-income securities or bond funds and enters into “wrapper” contracts issued by third parties. The Plan is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The wrapper contract issuer agrees to pay the portfolio an amount sufficient to cover unit holder redemptions and certain other payments (such as portfolio expenses), provided all the terms of the wrapper contract have been met. Wrappers are normally purchased from issuers rated in the top three long-term ratings categories (equaling A- or above).

As described above, because the stable value investment contract is fully benefit-responsive, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to the stable value investment contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value.

 

-13-


Table of Contents

There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the wrapper contract issuer. The crediting interest rate is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuer, but it may not be less than zero percent. Such interest rates are reviewed for resetting on at least a semi-annual basis. Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer. However, the Plan Administrator does not believe that the occurrence of any such event would limit the Plan’s ability to transact at contract value with participants. The issuer may terminate the contract for cause at any time.

6. Party-in-Interest Transactions

Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by the Trustee; therefore, transactions involving these funds qualify as party-in-interest transactions.

The Plan offers common shares of Worthington as an investment option. As a result, Worthington qualifies as a party-in-interest.

The Company provides certain administrative and accounting services at no cost to the Plan and may pay for the cost of services incurred in the operation of the Plan.

 

7. Risks and Uncertainties

The Plan provides for various investment options. These investments are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is possible that changes in the near or long term could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits.

 

8. Fair Value

As defined in current authoritative accounting guidance, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Plan utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable inputs. The Plan utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the examination of the inputs used in the valuation

Table of Contents

techniques, the Plan is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

  Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan has the ability to access.

 

  Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; and

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability.

Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

  Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. See the description within Footnote 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” as to the investment valuation methodology for each class of assets noted in the below table.

The following table shows the assets of the Plan measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of December 31, 2014:
