SHILOH INDUSTRIES REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2015 RESULTS

VALLEY CITY, Ohio, March 9, 2015 -- Shiloh Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: SHLO) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended January 31, 2015.

First Quarter 2015 Highlights:

Sales revenue for the quarter was $257.1 million, an increase of 40.1 percent.
Gross profit for the quarter improved by 15.1 percent and was $20.5 million.
Net income per share diluted for the quarter was $0.21 per share.

Sales revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 increased to $257.1 million, a 40.1 percent improvement compared with first quarter of fiscal 2014. Acceptance of our leading technologies and the recent strategic acquisitions completed in fiscal 2014 have contributed to the increase in sales revenue of $73.5 million; $8.4 million, or 11.4%, of which was generated through organic growth.
Gross profit improved $2.7 million to $20.5 million, a 15.1 percent improvement compared with $17.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2014, and a 10.2 percent sequential improvement from $18.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. Gross margin improved 15.9% from 4Q14 to 1Q15. The gross profit improvement was driven by several new product launches, successful productivity initiatives and increased sales revenue through acquisition.
"In the first quarter, we continued to invest to better serve growing global demand for our technologies and products," said Ramzi Hermiz, president and chief executive officer. "On December 9, 2014, we announced the opening of a strategically located facility in Clarksville, Tennessee to manufacture high-pressure and structural aluminum die castings. In addition, we




continue to achieve new business and gain synergistic benefits from our recent Finnveden Metal Structures and Radar Industries acquisitions. Expanded magnesium capabilities have enabled significant new business wins and future opportunities in Europe. Additional stamping capabilities and footprint expansion in the rapidly growing automotive market in Central Mexico have also delivered strong results. Also in the first quarter, we announced our new sales and technical center in Plymouth, Michigan. The Plymouth Technical Center will officially open on March 16th and we are excited about the opportunity for greater collaboration amongst our employees, our customers and our suppliers.”
Selling, general and administrative costs were $13.6 million, or 5.3 percent of sales revenue compared with $10.4 million, or 5.7 percent of sales revenue in the prior year and $17.3 million, or 6.4 percent, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. The sequential improvement reflects the company's on-going integration of recent acquisitions in Europe and North America.
Net income for the quarter was $3.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared with $0.24 per diluted share in the prior quarter excluding a $0.05 benefit from one-time asset sales. The first quarter of 2015 was up $0.15 per diluted share compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. The quarter to quarter improvement was due in part to the non-reoccurrence of one-time acquisition costs in the fourth quarter of 2014 and operational efficiencies in the following quarter.
“We continue to deliver on our strategy of creating value by increasing our capability to serve growing global markets with our broad range of lightweighting and sound management solutions," Hermiz said. "We are confident that our focus on industry-leading technology and innovation, operational performance and a strong balance sheet will enable us to take advantage of additional opportunities for growth. Customers around the world are looking increasingly to our solutions to reduce weight, improve fuel economy and enhance the performance of their products."
