ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

(c)      Exhibits:

         The following exhibit is being furnished with this Form 8-K:
                                                                          Page
                                                                          ----
         Exhibit 99.1 - Press Release issued on June 18, 2003...............3


ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE [INFORMATION PROVIDED UNDER ITEM 12 - RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION].

         On June 18, 2003, Worthington Industries, Inc. issued a press release
announcing results for its fourth fiscal quarter of 2003 and for its fiscal year
ended May 31, 2003. A copy of the press release (the "Release") is attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

         The Release contains both GAAP financial information and information
showing the impact of excluding the restructuring adjustments and the
non-recurring losses in the second quarter of fiscal 2003 ended November 30,
2002 and the third quarter of fiscal 2002 ended February 28, 2002. We believe
that this information will enable investors to more readily compare both
year-over-year results on a GAAP basis and year-over-year results excluding the
impact of these charges. We use the results, excluding the adjustment and the
non-recurring loss, as a measure of our normal operating performance which is
factored into evaluations and compensation payments.

         The information provided herein shall not be deemed "filed" for
purposes of Section 18 of 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 or the
Exchange Act.

                                   SIGNATURES

         Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

                           WORTHINGTON INDUSTRIES, INC.
