SHILOH INDUSTRIES REPORTS FISCAL 2014 RESULTS

VALLEY CITY, Ohio, January 12, 2015 -- Shiloh Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: SHLO) today reported financial results for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014.

Fiscal Year 2014 Highlights:

Sales revenue for the year was $878.7 million, an improvement of 25.5 percent.
Gross profit for the year improved by 18.5 percent and was $79.6 million.
Net income per share diluted improved 2.4 percent to $1.30 per share for the year.

Sales revenue for fiscal year 2014 improved $178.6 million to $878.7 million, a 25.5 percent improvement, as compared to fiscal 2013 of $700.2 million. Acquisition sales represent $122.0 million of the sales growth with organic sales increasing $56.5 million, or 8% compared to Europe and North American combined light vehicle production growth of 4.5%. Gross profit improved $12.4 million to $79.6 million, an 18.5 percent improvement as compared to fiscal 2013 of $67.2 million. Gross profit was driven by several new product launches, successful productivity initiatives and sales revenue through acquisition.
In the fourth quarter, the company announced several major growth initiatives in support of key customers: the opening of a die casting and machining facility in Clarksville, Tennessee, the acquisition of a stamping and assembly facility in Celaya, Mexico, and a new sales and technical center in Plymouth, Michigan.

Selling, general and administrative costs were $50.2 million, or 5.7 percent of sales revenue compared to $31.2 million, or 4.5 percent of sales revenue last year. Acquisition costs and the recently added general administrative costs of the European and North American structures are reflected in these amounts. Integration plans are in place and will be executed enhancing long term value while adding significant capabilities to the business.
Net income for the year was $22.4 million, or $1.30 per share diluted, compared to $21.6 million, or $1.27 per share diluted last year. Net income was favorably impacted in 2014 from third quarter research and development tax credits and other adjustments. Net income was negatively impacted by the costs associated with the acquisitions and with facility openings in the fourth quarter.
“Over the last two years we have steadily delivered on our strategy of supporting our key customers globally by providing the industry with leading Lightweighting technologies," said Ramzi Hermiz, president and chief executive officer. “The acquisitions of Radar Industries and Finnveden Metal Structures in the second half of fiscal 2014 were essential elements to our growth and Lightweighting strategies, with the focus now on integration improvements and synergistic opportunities. In summary, over the course of the year, we strengthened our stamping expertise, launched several new products such as our highly formable aluminum laser welded blanks and added magnesium die casting capabilities, and expanded in Europe and Central Mexico as we remain focused on delivering technology and innovation to the industry."
