CEO Michael S. Lipscomb stated, “We appreciate the understanding and patience of our shareholders as we release our results for fiscal 2015. Our delay in filing was due, primarily to unanticipated turn-over in some key finance positions and the implementation of a new ERP system at our largest facility. We are implementing several organization and procedural changes in order to address these issues.
Regarding our performance, fiscal 2015 was a year of continued change for SIFCO as the Company executed on the transformative changes set in motion in previous years. Changes in our customer base, processes, management team, management systems, SEC filing status, and the completion of our acquisition of C*Blade have repositioned the Company into the aerospace and energy focused forging business that SIFCO is today. These changes are not insignificant and have come at a cost. In continuing to take steps to support our strategic vision, the Company continues to diversify its aerospace forging business, resulting in new business that was won in a very competitive market. This new business resulted in lower overall margins and the introduction of new processes and technologies to the Company that come with a learning curve. The Company installed a new ERP system in our Cleveland and Alliance locations and plans are in place to expand the implementation to our remaining locations. The implementation came with its own share of challenges but the system is critical to facilitate the management, oversight and control of our growing international operations. The system also sets the foundation for the consolidation and centralization of "duplicate" services in the various support departments. SIFCO continues to be an accelerated filer and incur additional costs associated with meeting expanded reporting and internal controls requirements. The experience gained by our workforce with these additional requirements and the full implementation of the new ERP system will lower the compliance costs as we move forward. Lastly, the completion of the C*Blade acquisition marked a major milestone for SIFCO as it helped transform the Company into a multi-
national aerospace and energy company that has locations near our worldwide customer base. C*Blade's "best in class" forging and machining capabilities and European location will help serve both our aerospace and energy markets with high quality, cost effective solutions for their growing businesses. Overall, we believe that our strategy remains sound, our target markets remain strong and SIFCO is committed to driving improved profitability in fiscal 2016 and beyond."
