SHILOH INDUSTRIES REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER and FISCAL 2012 RESULTS


Valley City, OH, December 20, 2012 - Shiloh Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: SHLO) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2012.

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2012 Highlights:

Net income improved 61.5% to $0.21 per share diluted for the quarter from net income of $0.13 per share diluted in the prior year quarter. Fiscal 2012 net income improved 70.2% to $0.80 per share diluted over net income of $0.47 per share diluted in the prior year.
Total debt at October 31, 2012 was reduced to $21.6 million.
The Board of Directors of the Company declared a special dividend of $0.25 per share on December 7, 2012 to be paid on December 28, 2012.






Fourth Quarter 2012 Results:
Sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 were $148.9 million, an increase of 3.6% from $143.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011.
The Company reported a 57.5% improvement in operating income of $7.3 million or 4.9% of sales in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to operating income of $4.6 million or 3.2% of sales in the prior year quarter. The improvement in operating performance is driven by continuous improvements in operating, quality and productivity metrics and a continued focus on leveraging Manufacturing and Selling, General and Administrative costs.
Interest expense for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year was $0.3 million compared to $0.4 million in the prior year fourth quarter.
The Company reported that net income per share diluted improved 61.5% compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 was $3.6 million or $0.21 per share diluted compared to the fourth quarter of 2011 net income of $2.2 million or $0.13 per share diluted.

Fiscal 2012 Results:
For fiscal year 2012, sales of $586.1 million were $68.3 million or 13.2% higher than sales for fiscal 2011. The North American car and light truck industry production volumes increased by 19.3% compared to 2011 led by a 32.3% recovery by the traditional Asian OEM's, as they rebounded from the March 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami and floods in Thailand. For the traditional American OEM's, where the Company has a higher concentration of parts, the overall production volumes increased by 11.0%.
Operating income for fiscal 2012 improved 62% to $24.1 million or 4.1% of sales revenue compared to an operating income of $14.8 million or 2.9% of sales revenue in fiscal 2011. The improvement reflects the increase in sales volume along with the lower cost structure, a result of the continued focus on operational efficiency.





Net income per diluted share improved over 70% compared to fiscal 2011. The Company's net income for fiscal 2012 was $13.5 million or $0.80 per share diluted compared to net income of $7.8 million or $0.47 per share diluted in fiscal 2011.
In commenting on the results of fiscal year 2012, Ramzi Hermiz, President and CEO, said “Shiloh continued to increase sales and improve operational performance in fiscal year 2012 as the overall economy and automotive industry in particular improved over the prior year. Along with the increased vehicle build levels, our improved operating leverage driven by our focus on effective cost management and improvement in operating efficiencies is reflected in our gross profit improvement of 30.3%, achieving 8.7% for fiscal 2012 compared to 7.5% for fiscal 2011."
"During 2012, the Company generated sufficient cash flow from operations to finance all of the operating needs of the Company while reducing the total debt to $21.6 million. The Company is well positioned to support the opportunities that are anticipated in 2013 and beyond."
Mr. Hermiz concluded, “As we look forward into fiscal 2013, our focus will be on our key tenants of leading with technology and innovation, achieving sustainable global profitable growth and acting with a sense of purpose and urgency."
