Slide 25

Tender Process and Regulatory Overview Tender Process and Regulatory Overview Worthington Steel closed on the acquisition June 3, 2026, with ~ 62% of Kloeckner outstanding shares secured The company announced its intention to launch a public delisting tender offer for all outstanding Kloeckner shares not already held by Worthington Steel on June 3, 2026 Delisting will simplify the structure, eliminate public company requirements, reduce administrative burden and give Worthington Steel great flexibility to operate the Kloeckner business On March 27, 2026 Worthington Steel notified Klöckner of its intent to enter into a Domination and Profit and Loss Transfer Agreement (“DPLTA”) which is a requisite step to solidify full legal control of the Target Prior to completion of the DPLTA, Worthington Steel will have influence over Klöckner via the ability to name members of the Supervisory Board which oversees and appoints the Management Board of the Target, but will not legally control the Target When the DPLTA is put in place Worthington Steel will have full control including the ability to consolidate entities, direct cash flows and pledge Kloeckner assets as collateral Based on other similar transactions, Worthington Steel anticipates the DPLTA process to be completed by the end of 2026


Slide 26

Substantial Margin Uplift Potential at Kloeckner Klöckner EBITDA Margin Upside (Pre Synergies) Worthington Steel’s Margins Serve as Proof of Concept Key Levers Becker: Strategic divestiture of loss-making Becker segment in Germany expected to significantly improve KCO margin profile US Asset Sales: Sale of 8 distribution sites streamlines KCO US footprint and increases focus on value added services Strategic Initiatives: Execution of KCO’s pipeline of strategic projects focused on expanding value added capabilities Transformational Playbook: Incremental upside opportunity via application of WS’s proven playbook of operational and commercial excellence to KCO’s business 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 LTM Adj. EBITDA Margin Further Adjusted LTM Adj. EBITDA Margin Becker US Asset Sales Strategic Initiatives Incremental Upside WS has a demonstrated track record of maintaining relatively stable margins through steel price cycles by leveraging disciplined operating practices and contract structure Margin performance driven by operating model design and execution rather than reliance on favorable commodity pricing environments The playbook underpinning this performance is well-established and has been deployed consistently across WS’s operations Applying this approach at KCO provides a clear path to improving margin stability and sustainability post-acquisition Note: Fiscal year ended May 31. 1 Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP measure. Please see the Appendix for a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure ~1.2% ~0.0% 2.8% ~4.0%


Slide 27

Commitment to Conservative Financial Policy Source: Company Filings Leverage & Liquidity Worthington Steel remains committed to maintaining a conservatively leveraged capital structure and is targeting de-levering to less than 2.5x within 24 months of closing The Company plans to maintain meaningful amounts of prepayable debt in its capital structure to facilitate this debt reduction Ample liquidity of $1,059MM is expected to be available following closing of the Transaction across facilities denominated in multiple currencies Capital Allocation Management expects to continue to pay dividends of $0.64 per share annually Targeting annual capital expenditures between ~$100-150MM per year (averaging 1.3% of net sales) Capex will primarily be deployed for maintenance across both companies as well as targeted growth investments at Kloeckner Capital Structure Expected permanent capital structure will balance fixed and floating rate exposure, and will benefit from staggered maturity profile and include multiple currencies Diversified funding sources across debt capital markets Supportive bank group with lengthy relationships

Appendix


Slide 40

These materials present certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplemental information on the performance of the Company’s ongoing operations and should not be considered as an alternative to the comparable GAAP measure. Additionally, management believes these non-GAAP measures allow for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the Company’s business and enable investors to evaluate operations and future prospects in the same manner as management. A reconciliation of each non-GAAP measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure is outlined below. The following provides an explanation of each non-GAAP measure presented in these materials: Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, and consists of EBITDA (calculated by adding or subtracting, as appropriate, interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization to/from net earnings attributable to Worthington Steel), which is further adjusted to exclude items that management believes are not reflective of, and thus should not be included when evaluating the performance, of its ongoing operations. Impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets - impairments of assets are excluded to facilitate period-to-period comparability of the Company’s operating performance, are inherently unpredictable in timing and amount, and are non-cash, so their exclusion facilitates the comparison of historical, current and forecasted financial results. Restructuring - restructuring activities consist of items associated with the Company’s cost-optimization activities, such as divestitures, closing or consolidating facilities, employee severance (including rationalizing headcount or other significant changes in personnel), and realignment of existing operations (including changes to management structure in response to underlying performance and/or changing market conditions). These restructuring activities are excluded to facilitate period-to-period comparability of the Company’s operating performance. Bridge nonrevolving loan commitment costs – consists of fees and costs associated with temporary financing arrangements entered into in connection with the Kloeckner Acquisition, including bridge financing commitment fees, related lender fees, and other financing costs. These costs include amounts initially deferred and subsequently recognized in interest expense, net, when the related bridge financing was no longer applicable. Management excludes these items from adjusted results to improve comparability of the Company’s operating performance across periods. Tax indemnification adjustment - tax and indemnification adjustments reported in income tax expense and miscellaneous income, net, related to an indemnification agreement with the former owners of Tempel. These adjustments are the result of a first quarter fiscal 2025 favorable tax ruling. The indemnification agreement, which was entered into with the former Tempel owners at the time the Company acquired Tempel, provides protection to the Company from rulings by tax authorities through the acquisition date.  Pension adjustments - pension-related impacts associated with discrete events impacting the Company’s pension plans, including a $1.4 million gain recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily associated with a pension curtailment resulting from headcount reductions. The fiscal 2025 gain related to a settlement resulting from a pension lift-out transaction to transfer a portion of the total projected benefit obligation of the pension plan to a third-party insurance company, which resulted in pre-tax non-cash gains reported in miscellaneous income (expense), net. The exclusion from adjusted results facilitates period-to-period comparability of the Company’s operating performance as these gains reflect discrete pension-related events.

Gain on land sale - sale of unused land on the campus of the Tempel subsidiary in China, which resulted in a pre-tax gain in miscellaneous income (expense), net, is excluded from adjusted results to facilitate period-to-period comparability of the Company’s operating performance as it reflects the non-operational disposal of real property. Gain on Sitem group purchase derivative - mark-to-market gain on the economic (non-designated) foreign currency exchange contract entered into related to the purchase price for Sitem Group, which resulted in a pre-tax gain in miscellaneous income, net, and is excluded as it is not part of the Company’s ongoing operations. Sitem Group acquisition completion bonus payment - consists of the one-time bonus payment paid to key individuals upon the successful acquisition closing of Sitem Group. The acquisition completion bonus payment was included within SG&A expense. Kloeckner purchase derivative - consists of the change in the fair value of an economic (non-designated) cash flow derivative that was entered into to hedge a portion of the expected purchase price of the outstanding shares of Kloeckner in connection with the Kloeckner Acquisition. The change in the fair value is recorded in miscellaneous income (expense), net, and it is excluded from adjusted results to facilitate period-to-period comparability of the Company’s operating performance as it reflects non-operational activity. Kloeckner acquisition-related expenses - consists of the acquisition-related costs incurred in connection with the Kloeckner Acquisition, consisting primarily of advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional fees, as well as certain integration expenses, and are expensed to SG&A, as incurred, in accordance with GAAP. Exclusion of these costs is appropriate because they are directly attributable to a specific strategic transaction that management expects to be transformative to the Company’s portfolio, scale and long-term operating profile and are not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operating performance for the periods presented. Exclusion facilitates period-over-period comparisons, and to assess performance excluding the impact of transaction-specific activities. Kloeckner securities investment income, net - reflects the impact associated with the Company’s investment in Kloeckner equity securities, consisting of mark-to-market gains, dividend income, and other costs, recorded in miscellaneous income (expense), net. Management excludes these items from adjusted results to improve comparability of the Company’s operating performance across periods. Deferred tax asset adjustment – Tempel’s electrical steel facility in Nagold, Germany was included as part of the purchase consideration for the Sitem Group acquisition. The contribution resulted in the future disallowance of deferred tax assets located within certain foreign tax jurisdictions and resulted in the write-off of the deferred tax assets as well as the recognition of incremental income tax expense. As this impacts income tax, the adjustment does not impact EBIT, EBITDA, adjusted EBIT, or adjusted EBITDA. Other loss, net - includes the following items reported in miscellaneous income (expense), net, which are excluded from adjusted results to facilitate period-to-period comparability of the Company’s operating performance: Net insured loss incurred for damage as a result of a small, quickly contained fire at Tempel’s subsidiary in Canada (“Tempel Canada”). The Company recognized a $0.5 million pre-tax loss equal to the amount of the insurance deductible. Environmental reserve settlement gain of $0.2 million pre-tax recognized by Tempel Canada as the result of a prior indemnification with the former owners of the Canadian facility. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by net sales. Free Cash Flow is defined as operating cash flows less capital expenditures.
