NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts and number of shares in thousands except per share data)





Note 1—Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared for Shiloh Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company," "Shiloh Industries," "us," "our" or "we"), without audit, and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The information furnished in the condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.

Revenues and operating results for the three months ended January 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

ASU 2019-12 Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes
This Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). It eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: (1) Exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, (2) Exception accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments, (3) Exception to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment and (4) Exception in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. Also, this amendment updates the following: (1) Making minor Codification improvements for income taxes related to employee stock ownership plans and investments in qualified affordable
housing projects accounted for using the equity method, (2) Requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date and (3) Requiring that an entity evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which
the book goodwill was originally recognized and when it should be
considered a separate transaction.

Also, this amendment clarifies the guidance in ASC 715-20-50-3 on defined benefit plans to require disclosure of (1) the projected benefit obligation (PBO) and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with PBOs in excess of plan assets (the same disclosure with reference to the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation rather than the PBO is required for other postretirement benefit plans) and (2) the accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with ABOs in excess of plan assets.

We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on our financial statements.

ASU 2016-13 Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
The amendments change the impairment model for financial assets measured at amortized cost and available for sale equity securities. This new model will apply to instruments such as loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, loan commitments (including lines of credit), financial guarantees accounted for under ASC 460, net investments in leases, reinsurance and trade receivables. This model will result in an earlier recognition of allowances for losses through the establishment of an allowance account. The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical and current information, and the reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances, as well as estimates of prepayments.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards:
Standard
Description
Adoption Date
Effect on our financial statements and other significant matters
ASU 2016-02 Leases

This amendment requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet and aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires a modified retrospective or current period transition approach for capital and operating leases existing at or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, but it does not require transition accounting for leases that expire prior to the date of initial adoption. In January 2018, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC Topic 842 which permits companies to elect an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate existing land easements under the new standard if the land easements were not previously accounted for under existing lease guidance. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842 which clarifies certain areas within ASU 2016-02. ASU 2018-11 Targeted Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. This amendment provides entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date. The Company did not recognize any cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.
November 1, 2019
See below (1) and refer to Note 9.
(1) The Company has applied ASU 2016-02 and all related amendments ("ASC 842") using the current period adjustment method. The Company did not record any adjustments to the opening balance of retained earnings as of November 1, 2019. Therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be presented under prior lease guidance. In addition, the Company elected the following package of practical expedients on a consistent basis permitting entities not to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contract are or contain a lease; (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases; (3) whether initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases qualify for capitalization under the new amended guidance. As a result, as of November 1, 2019, we recorded right-of-use ("ROU") assets of $50,540 for operating leases and $2,000 for financing leases. This standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations or statement of cash flows.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in ROU assets and the Company's short-term and long-term operating lease liability on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in other assets, other current liabilities, and other non-current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

12


SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the term of the lease. The Company includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicitly stated rate within the contact, we will use our incremental borrowing rate based on third party information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease expenses for lease payments on operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additionally, the Company does not record a ROU asset or lease liability for leases with an expected lease term of 12 months or less.
The Company has lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately across the Company's portfolio of leases. The non-lease components consist of maintenance, insurance, taxes and other expenses, and are immaterial.
The Company has exercised the land easement expedient and will continue to treat land leases under legacy GAAP provisions of ASC 840, Leases. If a modification or extension happens to a land lease, the Company will then treat the lease under the ASC 842 requirements. Current land leases are being recorded in other assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 3Revenue

The Company manufactures and sells products, primarily to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and to OEMs through Tier 1 suppliers. We enter into contracts with customers that create enforceable rights and obligations for the sale of those products. While certain production is provided under awarded multi-year programs, these programs do not contain any commitment to volume by the customer. Individual customer volume releases, blanket purchase orders, supply agreements, terms and conditions represent the contract with the customer. Volume releases are limited to near-term customer requirements generally with delivery periods within a few weeks. We do not have contract assets or liabilities as defined under ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers".

The Company participates in certain customers’ materials repurchase programs, under which we purchase materials directly from a customer’s designated supplier, for use in manufacturing products for that customer. We take delivery and title to such materials and bear the risk of loss and obsolescence. We invoice customers based upon negotiated selling prices, which inherently include a component for materials under such repurchase programs. We have risks and rewards of a principal, and as such, for transactions in which we participate in customers' materials resale programs, revenue is recognized on a gross basis for the entire amount, including the component for purchases under that customers' material resale programs.
    
We provide customers with standard warranties customary in the industry that products will operate as intended or designed, which are not separate performance obligations under ASC 606. We do not provide customers with the right to a refund, but provide for product replacement. Returns or refunds for nonconforming products are not separate performance obligations applicable to Shiloh's contract arrangements with customers.

We continue to include shipping and handling fees billed to customers in revenue, while including costs of shipping and handling in costs of sales as a fulfillment cost. Taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenues and credited directly to obligations to the appropriate government agencies. Payment terms with customers are established based on industry and regional practices and do not exceed 180 days.

We recognized bad debt expense of $12 for the three months ended January 31, 2020, and recognized bad debt expense of $329 during the three months ended January 31, 2019, in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
We continually monitor our exposure with our customers and additional consideration is given to individual accounts in light of the market conditions in the automotive and commercial vehicle markets.

As a part of our working capital management, the Company has entered into factoring agreements with third party financial institutions ("institutions") for the sale of certain accounts receivable, with and without recourse. The sale of the receivables is accounted for in accordance with ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing. Under that guidance, receivables are considered sold when they are transferred beyond the reach of the Company and its creditors, the purchaser has the right to pledge or exchange the receivables, and the Company has surrendered control over the transferred receivables. In addition, certain agreements address events and conditions which may obligate the Company to immediately repay to the institutions the outstanding purchase price of the receivables sold.

The total amount of trade accounts receivable factored was $9,203 and $8,779 as of January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively. As these sales of trade accounts receivable are with recourse, $8,087 and $9,188 were recorded in accounts payable as of January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively. The cost of selling these receivables is dependent upon the number of days between the sale date of the receivables, the date the customer’s invoice is due and the interest rate. The expense associated with the sale of these receivables is recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, $2,674 and $2,538 of trade accounts receivable were subject to factoring without recourse, respectively. The amounts subject to factoring without recourse for the year 2020 have been included in the proceeds for net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The expense associated with the sale of the receivables is recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

At January 31, 2020, the Company had floating rate debt on a revolving line of credit of $265,195, net of its capital lease obligations. The weighted average interest rate of all debt was 5.11% and 5.03% for the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility:

The Company and its subsidiaries are party to a Credit Agreement, dated October 25, 2013, as amended (the "Credit Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender, Dutch Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Syndication Agent, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers, The PrivateBank and Trust Company, Compass Bank and The Huntington National Bank, N.A., as Co-Documentation Agents and the other lender parties thereto.

On June 6, 2019, we executed the Ninth Amendment to the Credit Agreement which improved certain thresholds for the consolidated leverage ratio and various baskets related to the indebtedness of foreign subsidiaries, disposition of assets, capital expenditures and sale leaseback transactions. The Ninth Amendment also adjusted the interest rate margins based on the applicable pricing tiers, but did not modify the aggregate revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at LIBOR or the base (or "prime") rate established from time to time by the Administrative Agent, in each case plus an applicable margin. The Fifth Amendment provided for an interest rate margin on LIBOR loans of 1.5% to 3.0% and of 0.5% to 2.0% on base rate loans depending on the Company's leverage ratio.


16


SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

The Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive and financial covenants, including covenants regarding our outstanding indebtedness and maximum leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Credit Agreement also contains standard provisions relating to conditions of borrowing. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary events of default, including the non-payment of obligations by the Company and the bankruptcy of the Company. If an event of default occurs, all amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be accelerated and become immediately due and payable. We were in compliance with the financial covenants as of January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019. The interest coverage ratio remains at 3.5 times and the leverage ratio decreases from 4.75 times in the first quarter of 2020 to 3.25 times in the fourth quarter of 2020.

After considering letters of credit of $4,254 that we have issued, unused commitments under the Credit Agreement were $80,551 as of January 31, 2020. Actual borrowing capacity is subject to the Credit Agreement covenants and could be less than the stated unused commitments.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible property of the Company and our domestic subsidiaries and 66% of the stock of our foreign subsidiaries.

Other Debt:

We maintain finance leases for equipment used in our manufacturing facilities with lease terms expiring between 2019 and 2020. As of January 31, 2020, the present value of minimum lease payments under our capital leases amounted to $1,885.

Note 9 — Leases

The Company leases office space, manufacturing space, computer equipment and other equipment under non-cancellable lease arrangements. Additionally, some of the Company's real estate lease payments vary based on changes in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). These specific lease liabilities are not remeasured as a result of changes to the CPI and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred.

The Company's lease arrangements have lease terms that expire between the years 2020 and 2036. The Company has options to extend the terms of certain leases into future periods and for the options the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, the payments associated with these renewal periods have been included in the measurement of the lease liabilities and ROU assets. The Company's debt covenant requirements do not have any restrictions in terms of leasing arrangements on the Company or place any other restrictions on the Company.

For our Swedish operations, the majority of the pension obligations are covered by insurance policies with insurance companies. Pension commitments in our Polish operations were $1,293 at January 31, 2020 and $1,267 at October 31, 2019. The liability represents the present value of future obligations and is calculated on an actuarial basis. The Polish operations recognized expense of $144 for the three months ended January 31, 2020 and $86 for the three months ended January 31, 2019, respectively.

The insurance contracts guarantee a minimum rate of return. We have no input into the investment strategy of the assets underlying the contracts, but they are typically heavily invested in active bond markets and are highly regulated by local law.

Note 12—Derivatives and Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to, among other risks, the impact of changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates in the normal course of business. The Company's financial risk management program is designed to manage the exposure and volatility arising from these risks and utilizes derivative financial instruments to offset a portion of these risks. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. On an on-going basis, we monitor counterparty credit ratings. We consider credit non-performance risk to be low because we enter into agreements with commercial institutions that have investment grade credit rating.

On March 1, 2018, we entered into a cross-currency swap in which we would settle interest on the notional amount in Euros and settle interest on the notional amount in dollars, both at a variable rate. The objective of the transaction was to protect the initial net investment in Brabant against adverse changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. Hedge effectiveness was assessed based upon changes in the spot foreign exchange rate. As such, the change in value of the cross-currency interest rate swap related to the change in spot rates was effective at offsetting changes in cumulative translation adjustment related to the portion of our net investment in Brabant up to the notional amount of the cross-currency interest rate swap.

Under the cross-currency interest rate swap, we received €53,000 on which we would settle interest at the 1-month Euribor rate, and we lent to the counterparty $64,930 on which we would settle interest at the 1-month LIBOR rate. Interest payments were made at the end of every month. The notional amounts in the respective currencies exchanged at the beginning of the cross-currency interest rate swap period were to be repaid at the end of the cross-currency interest rate swap period. The initial maturity

20


SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

of the cross-currency interest rate swap was October 31, 2022. In the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the cross-currency interest rate swap was discontinued and settled in cash for $5,110. The cash value at settlement was driven by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and debt markets from inception to settlement. There was no impact to net income upon settlement.

On February 25, 2014, we entered into an interest rate swap with an aggregate notional amount of $75,000 designated as a cash flow hedge to manage interest rate exposure on our floating rate LIBOR based debt under the Credit Agreement.  The interest rate swap is an agreement to exchange payment streams based on the notional principal amount. This agreement fixes our future interest rate at 2.74% plus the applicable margin as provided in the Fifth Amendment discussed in Note 8 - Financing Arrangements, on an amount of our debt principal equal to the then-outstanding swap notional amount. The forward interest rate swap commenced on March 1, 2015 with an initial $25,000 base notional amount. The second notional amount of $25,000 commenced on September 1, 2015 and the final notional amount of $25,000 commenced on March 1, 2016. The base notional amount plus each incremental addition to the base notional amount has a five-year maturity of February 29, 2020, August 31, 2020 and February 28, 2021, respectively. On the date the interest swap was entered into, we designated the interest rate swap as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be paid relative to our variable interest rate monies borrowed. Any ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship is recognized immediately into earnings.

Our derivatives at January 31, 2020 consist of interest rate swap contracts, all of which are over-the-counter and not traded through an exchange. The Company uses widely accepted valuation tools to determine fair value, such as discounting cash flows to calculate a present value for the derivatives. The models use Level 2 inputs, such as forward curves and other commonly quoted observable transactions and prices. The fair value of our derivatives and hedging instruments are all classified as Level 2 investments within the three-tier hierarchy.

The following table discloses the fair value and balance sheet location of our derivative instruments:

As a result of the hedging relationships being highly effective, the net interest payments accrued each period are reflected in net income (loss) as adjustments of interest expense, and the remaining change in the fair value of the derivatives is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCI").

Note 13—Stock Incentive Compensation
Stock Incentive Compensation requires us to expense share-based payment awards granted. Compensation cost for share-based payment transactions are measured at fair value. For stock options, we use the simplified method of calculating the expected term and historical volatility to compute fair value under the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. zero coupon Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. New restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants are calculated using the average market price of our common stock over a consistent predetermined number of days prior to the grant date and then valued at the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. We do not estimate a forfeiture rate at the time of grant. Instead, we adjust share-based compensation expense when actual forfeitures occur.

2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan
Long-Term / Annual Incentives
On February 26, 2019, stockholders approved and adopted the 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan ("2019 Plan" or "Incentive Plan"), which replaced the 2016 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan. The 2019 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company to grant to officers and other key employees, including directors, of the Company and our subsidiaries (i) stock options, (ii) appreciation rights, (iii) restricted shares, (iv) restricted stock units, (v) cash incentive awards, performance shares and performance units and (vi) other awards. An aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment upon occurrence of certain events to prevent dilution or expansion of the rights of participants that might otherwise result from the occurrence of such events, was reserved for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Plan. An individual’s award of options and / or appreciation rights is limited to 500,000 shares during any calendar year. Also, an individual's award of restricted shares, restricted share units and performance based awards is limited to 350,000 shares during any calendar year.

Stock Options - The exercise price of each stock option equals the market price of our common stock on the grant date. Compensation expense is recorded at the grant date fair value, adjusted for forfeitures as they occur, and is recognized over the applicable vesting periods. Our stock options generally vest over three years, with a maximum term of ten years. Incentive stock options were not granted during the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019.

SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

Options that have an exercise price greater than the market price are excluded from the intrinsic value computation. At January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019, the options outstanding and exercisable had an intrinsic value of $0 for both periods.
Restricted Stock Awards - New restricted stock grants are calculated using the average market price of our common stock over a consistent predetermined number of days prior to the grant date and then valued at the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense is recorded at the grant date fair value, adjusted for forfeitures as they occur and is recognized over the applicable vesting periods. The vesting periods range between one to three years. As of January 31, 2020, there was $3,630 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to these restricted stock awards to be recognized over the next three fiscal years.
Restricted Stock Units - New restricted stock unit grants are calculated using the average market price of our common stock over a consistent predetermined number of days prior to the grant date and then valued at the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. Compensation expense is recorded at the grant date fair value, adjusted for forfeitures as they occur and is recognized over the applicable vesting periods. The vesting periods range between one to three years. As of January 31, 2020, there was $271 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to these restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over the next three fiscal years.

Note 14—Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The methods that we use may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while we believe our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
Assets and liabilities remeasured and disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis at January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019 are set forth in the table below:

Income Approach

We calculate the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts using quoted interest rate curves to calculate forward values and then discount the forward values.
The discount rates for all derivative contracts are based on quoted swap interest rates or bank deposit rates. For contracts which, when aggregated by counterparty, are in a liability position, the rates are adjusted by the credit spread that market participants would apply if buying these contracts from our counterparties.

Note 15—Restructuring Charges

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, management initiated restructuring activities to reshape Shiloh's global footprint to be flexible to market conditions. Activities included actions such as consolidating manufacturing facilities, making geographical shifts to place production closer to customer facilities, centralizing departments, optimizing our product portfolio and capturing synergies. Management believes these strategic moves will result in a stronger and more agile organization.
    
During the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, we incurred $3,803 and $3,006, respectively related to employee, professional, legal and other restructuring related costs. We have incurred restructuring expenses of $32,265 since initiating the restructuring activities.

Global restructuring initiatives have continued to evolve and expand across the organization. We expect to incur additional restructuring costs over and beyond the next twelve months to execute planned restructuring initiatives. Costs of planned restructuring actions will primarily include employee costs and professional fees to execute initiatives. Future restructuring actions will depend upon market conditions, customer actions and other factors.

The following table presents information about restructuring costs recorded for the three months ended January 31, 2020:

Note 16—Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended January 31, 2020 was a benefit of $2,267 on loss before income taxes of $5,947 for a consolidated effective tax rate of 38.1%. During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded a discrete tax benefit related to an adjustment of a valuation allowance for $3,029.

SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended January 31, 2019 was a benefit of $3,087 on loss before income taxes of $7,785 for a consolidated effective tax rate of 39.7%.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has proposed disallowances of the majority of fiscal years 2012 and 2013 U.S. R&D credits claimed. We are disputing this tax credit matter and intend to vigorously defend our position. We believe the ultimate resolution of the matters will not materially impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. With any tax controversy and litigation, there is, however, a chance of unforeseen loss which due to the number of years involved could materially impact our results, financial position and cash flows. For open tax years through fiscal year 2020, the total amounts related to the unreserved portion of the tax contingency, inclusive of any related interest, amounts to approximately $10,000, of which the majority has been assessed by management as being remote as to the likelihood of ultimately resulting in a loss to the Company. We routinely assess tax matters as to the probability of incurring a loss and record our best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where we assess the likelihood of an ultimate loss as probable.


Note 17—Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. In addition, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock options outstanding under the 2019 Plan are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation to the extent they are dilutive. For the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, 1,020 and 625 stock awards, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation for net loss per share:

Note 18—Business Segment Information
We conduct our business and report our information as one operating segment and, therefore, disclose one reportable segment - Automotive and Commercial Vehicles. Our chief operating decision maker is the executive leadership team, which includes certain Vice Presidents, all Senior Vice Presidents and the Chief Executive Officer. This team has the final authority over performance assessment and resource allocation decisions. In determining that one operating segment is appropriate, we considered the nature of the business activities and the existence of managers responsible for the operating activities. Customers and suppliers are substantially the same in the automotive and commercial vehicle industry.
Foreign net revenues were 26.7% and 26.4% of net revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Foreign net revenues, and geographic regions quantified in the table below, are based upon the location of the entity recording the sale.

Note 19—Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings, claims or investigations that are incidental to the conduct of our business. We vigorously defend ourselves against such claims. In future periods, we could be subject to cash costs or non-cash charges to earnings if a matter is resolved on unfavorable terms. However, although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on current information, including assessment of the merits of the particular claims, we do not expect that our legal proceedings or claims will have a material impact on our future consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

General

Shiloh Industries is a global innovative solutions provider to the automotive and commercial vehicle market with a strategic focus on designing, engineering and manufacturing lightweight technologies that improve performance and benefit the environment. We offer a broad portfolio of lightweighting solutions in the industry through our BlankLight®, CastLight® and StampLight® brands and are uniquely qualified to supply product solutions utilizing multiple lightweighting solutions. This includes combining castings and stampings or innovative, multi-material products in aluminum, magnesium, steel and steel alloys. We design and manufacture components in body, chassis, interior structures and powertrain systems with expertise in precision blanks, ShilohCore® acoustic laminates, aluminum and steel laser welded blanks, complex stampings, modular assemblies, aluminum and magnesium die casting, as well as precision machined components. We have approximately 3,600 dedicated employees with operations, sales and technical centers throughout Asia, Europe and North America.

Recent Trends and General Economic Conditions Affecting the Automotive Industry
Our business and operating results are directly affected by the relative strength of the Asian, European and North American automotive industries, which are driven by factors that continue to be critical to our success including winning new business awards, managing our overall global manufacturing footprint to ensure proper placement and workforce levels in line with business needs, maintaining competitive wages and benefits, maximizing efficiencies in manufacturing processes and reducing overall costs. In addition, our ability to adapt to key industry trends, such as shifts in consumer preferences to other vehicles in response to higher fuel costs and other economic and social factors, increasing technologically sophisticated content, increasing environmental standards and extended product life of automotive parts, also play a critical role in our success. Other factors that are critical to our success include changes in raw material costs, negotiation of price increases and cost reduction initiatives. In addition, trade actions initiated by the U.S. imposing tariffs on imports had been met with retaliatory tariffs by other countries. Recent trade agreements have alleviated some of the uncertainty in the global economic environment. These and other actions are likely to impact trade policies with other countries and the overall global economy. We are carefully monitoring capacity and availability of the alloys utilized in our production process. The automotive industry remains susceptible to these factors that impact consumer spending habits and could adversely impact consumer demand for vehicles.

The recent coronavirus outbreak in China has impacted and could further impact operations, customers and suppliers as a result of quarantines, facility closures, and travel and logistics restrictions in connection with the outbreak. We are evaluating the impact that the coronavirus outbreak could have on our operations and supply chain in China and other regions throughout the world. The timing of revenue is expected to change within the year but the impact on profitability is still uncertain. The outbreak remains fluid and we are actively managing the situation in collaboration with our employees, customers and suppliers.

We operate in an extremely competitive industry, driven by global vehicle production volumes. Business is typically awarded to the supplier offering the most favorable combination of cost, quality, technology and service. Customers continue to demand periodic cost reductions that require us to assess, redefine and improve operations, products, and manufacturing capabilities to maintain and improve profitability. Our management continues to develop and execute initiatives designed to meet challenges of the industry and to achieve our strategy for sustainable global profitable growth.

We continue to adapt our capacity to meet customer demand, both expanding capabilities in growth areas as well as reallocating capacity between manufacturing facilities as needs arise. We employ new technologies to differentiate our products from our competitors and to achieve higher quality and productivity. We believe that we have sufficient capacity to meet current and expected manufacturing needs.

Our products are included in many models of vehicles manufactured by nearly all OEMs that produce vehicles in Asia, Europe and North America. Our revenues are dependent upon the production of automobiles, light trucks and commercial vehicles in these markets. According to industry statistics, Asia, Europe and North America production volumes for the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

Asia Market:

The Asia Pacific automotive market production volumes declined during the first quarter of 2020. The decline in production volumes was due to the timing of the holiday schedule (Chinese New Year was in February 2019 versus January 2020), the continuing trade dispute between China and the U.S., increasing emission standards and tightened credit for prospective buyers. A partial trade agreement between the U.S. and China was signed on January 15, 2020, which may alleviate some of the global economic uncertainty. The recent coronavirus outbreak in China may negatively impact Asia revenue growth anticipated in fiscal 2020.

Europe Market:

Uncertainty remains in the economic environment in Europe due to a number of factors, resulting in a decrease in year over year vehicle production. The United Kingdom's decision to withdraw from the European Union could have an effect on the economy of the remaining European Union countries, as no trade deal has been signed. The lack of a trade deal also increases industry concerns relating to the potential effect on production in the United Kingdom factories and resulting sales impacts. The coronavirus outbreak may negatively impact Europe revenue volumes anticipated in fiscal 2020.

North America Market:

The overall North American light vehicle market has shown modest signs of weakening demand levels since 2017 with the uncertainty surrounding the potential effects of trade policies, restrictions and practices being implemented or considered by the existing government leadership in the United States. Economic conditions in North America that remain relatively favorable are the low unemployment levels and comparatively low/stable fuel prices. High levels of consumer debt and declining used car prices are also developments that could constrict future demand for new vehicles. The coronavirus outbreak may negatively impact North America revenue volumes anticipated in fiscal 2020.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Preparation of our financial statements are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and in the accompanying notes. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results and the timing of the recognition of such amounts could differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies and estimates utilized by management in the preparation of the Company’s accompanying financial statements. These estimates were selected because of inherent imprecision that may result from applying judgment to the estimation process. The expenses and accrued liabilities or allowances related to these policies are initially based on our best estimates at the time they are recorded. Adjustments are charged or credited to income and the related balance sheet account when actual experience differs from the expected experience underlying the estimates. We make frequent comparisons of actual experience and expected experience in order to mitigate the likelihood that material adjustments will be required.
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Management judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s net deferred tax assets. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial performance of the operation recording the net deferred tax assets is considered along with any other pertinent information. Since future financial results may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowance may be necessary.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. at the federal and state level and numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related assets and liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is less than certain. Accruals for income tax contingencies are provided for in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 740. The Company’s U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns and certain non-U.S. income tax returns are currently under various stages of audit by applicable tax authorities. Although the outcome of ongoing tax audits is always uncertain, management believes that it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns. The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Nonetheless, the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year.
Refer to Note 16, "Income Taxes," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report for more information regarding income taxes.
Intangible Assets. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. We amortize our acquired intangible assets with finite lives on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three months to 15 years. See Note 7, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets" to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of the current intangible assets and their estimated amortization expense.
Finite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their related carrying value may not be fully recordable.
Goodwill. Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill relates to and is assigned directly to specific reporting units. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to impairment assessment. In accordance with ASC 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other," we assess goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently, if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below the carrying amount. Our annual impairment assessment is performed as of September 30. Such assessment can be done on a qualitative or quantitative basis. When conducting a qualitative assessment, we consider relevant events and circumstances that affect the fair value or carrying amount of the reporting unit. A quantitative test is required only if we conclude that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, or we elect not to perform a qualitative assessment of a reporting unit. We consider the extent to which each of the events and circumstances identified affect the comparison of the reporting unit's fair value or the carrying amount. Such events and circumstances could include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, entity and reporting unit specific events, product brand level specific events and cost factors. We place more weight on the events and circumstances that may affect our determination of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.
We perform a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount which the carrying value exceeds the fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill in that reporting unit.

30


Share-based Payments. We record compensation expense for the fair value of nonvested stock option awards, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units over the vesting period. We use the simplified method to calculate the expected term of the stock options outstanding at five to six years and have utilized historical weighted average volatility. We determine the volatility and risk-free rate assumptions used in computing the fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected term for the restricted stock award is between three months and four years. In addition, we do not estimate a forfeiture rate at the time of grant, instead, we elected to adjust share-based compensation expense when actual forfeitures occur.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based award and stock price volatility. The assumptions used are management’s best estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if other assumptions had been used, the recorded stock-based compensation expense could have been materially different from that depicted in the financial statements.
New restricted stock and restricted stock units grants are valued at the closing market price on the date of grant.
U.S. Pension and Other Post-Retirement Costs and Liabilities. We have recorded pension and other post-retirement benefit liabilities that are developed from actuarial valuations for our U.S. operations. The pension plans were frozen in November of 2006 and therefore contributions by participants are not allowed. The determination of our pension liabilities requires key assumptions regarding discount rates used to determine the present value of future benefit payments and the expected return on plan assets. The discount rate is also significant to the development of other post-retirement liabilities. We determine these assumptions in consultation with, and after input from our actuaries.
The discount rate reflects the estimated rate at which the pension and other post-retirement liabilities could be settled at the end of the year. For our U.S. operations, we use the Principal Pension Discount Yield Curve ("Principal Curve") as the basis for determining the discount rate for reporting pension and retiree medical liabilities. At October 31, 2019, the resulting discount rate from the use of the Principal Curve was 3.05%, a decrease of 1.30% that contributed to an increase of the benefit obligation of $8,338. A change of 25 basis points in the discount rate at October 31, 2019 would increase expense on an annual basis by $19 or decrease expense on an annual basis by $260.
The assumed long-term rate of return on pension assets is applied to the market value of plan assets to derive a reduction to pension expense that approximates the expected average rate of asset investment return over ten or more years. A decrease in the expected long-term rate of return will increase pension expense whereas an increase in the expected long-term rate will reduce pension expense. Decreases in the level of plan assets will serve to increase the amount of pension expense whereas increases in the level of actual plan assets will serve to decrease the amount of pension expense. Any shortfall in the actual return on plan assets from the expected return will increase pension expense in future years due to the amortization of the shortfall, whereas any excess in the actual return on plan assets from the expected return will reduce pension expense in future periods due to the amortization of the excess. A change of 25 basis points in the assumed rate of return on pension assets would increase or decrease expense by $166.
Our investment policy for assets of the plans is to maintain an allocation generally of 30% to 70% in equity securities, 30% to 70% in debt securities and 0% to 10% in real estate. Equity security investments are structured to achieve an equal balance between growth and value stocks. We determine the annual rate of return on pension assets by first analyzing the composition of its asset portfolio. Historical rates of return are applied to the portfolio. Our investment advisors and actuaries review this computed rate of return. Industry comparables and other outside guidance are also considered in the annual selection of the expected rates of return on pension assets.
For the year ended October 31, 2019, the actual return on pension plans’ assets for all of our plans was 10.2%, which is higher than the expected rate of return on plan assets of 6.50% used to derive pension expense. The long-term expected rate of return takes into account years with exceptional gains and years with exceptional losses.
Actual results that differ from these estimates may result in more or less future Company funding into the pension plans than is planned by management.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended January 31, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended January 31, 2019

REVENUES. Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 were $243,486 compared to revenues of $258,933 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, a decrease of $15,447, or 6.0% compared to a market decrease of 6.9%. The decrease was attributable to negative currency effects of approximately $2.1 million and lower volumes across our North American and European operations. Adjusting for currency effects the sales decrease was 5.1%. Our Asia operations partially offset the decreased sales with increased sales from a new plant in China.
  
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $19,289 compared to gross profit of $13,691 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, an increase of $5,598, or 40.9%. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 7.9% for the first quarter of 2020 and 5.3% for the first quarter of 2019, which is an improvement of 49%. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was primarily due to the impact of our strategic transformation efforts, a decrease in product costs, maintenance costs and lower launch costs in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses support the growth in sales opportunities, new technologies and new product launches. Expenses were $16,703 and $16,085 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. As a percentage of sales, these expenses were 6.9% of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and 6.2% of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase is due to higher depreciation, insurance related costs and a prior year non-repeating reduction in employee related costs that did not occur this year.

AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Amortization of intangible assets expense was $519 for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and $521 for the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

RESTRUCTURING. Restructuring charges of $3,803 were recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $3,006 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Our restructuring charges relate to our global strategic plan to become a more efficient and focused footprint allowing us to operate with lower fixed costs and capitalize on growth opportunities. These costs primarily included employee, professional, legal and other costs.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $4,356, compared to interest expense of $3,355 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The increase in interest expense was the result of higher average borrowings during the first quarter of 2020.

OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE, NET. Other (income) expense, net was $139 income and $1,486 income for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and 2019, respectively. The decrease in income in the current year was primarily driven by a gain on sale of a building in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

BENEFIT FOR INCOME TAXES. The benefit for income taxes in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $2,267 on a loss before taxes of $5,947 for an effective tax rate of 38.1%. The benefit for income taxes in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 was $3,087 on a loss before taxes of $7,785 for an effective tax rate of 39.7%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019 varied due to an adjustment to valuation allowances.

NET LOSS. Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was $3,680, or $0.16 per share, diluted compared to a net loss for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 of $4,698, or $0.20 per share, diluted for the reasons discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General:

Our ability to obtain adequate cash to fund our needs depends on our results of operations and the availability of financing. We believe that cash on hand, cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our Credit Agreement will be sufficient to fund capital expenditures and meet our operating obligations for the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that we will meet these expectations. The Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive and financial covenants, including covenants regarding our outstanding indebtedness and maximum leverage and interest coverage ratios. We were in compliance with the financial covenants as of January 31, 2020 and October 31, 2019. A potential downturn in the global economy, potential decline in automotive production, disruptions in supply chain, disruptions in production, the impact of the coronavirus and other factors could adversely impact our ability to satisfy our covenants in the future. For additional information, refer to Risk Factors included in Part 1, Item 1A of Shiloh's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.

Cash Flows and Working Capital:

At January 31, 2020, total debt was $267,080 and total equity was $164,740, resulting in a capitalization rate of 61.8% debt, 38.2% equity. Current assets were $265,913 and current liabilities were $192,513, resulting in positive working capital of $73,400.

Cash inflows and outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities:
Cash inflows from changes in accounts receivable for the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, were $5,245 and $40,283, respectively. The cash inflows decreased due to sales volume changes and one-time orders near the end of fiscal 2018 that were collected in the first quarter of 2019.
Cash outflows from changes in inventory for the three months ended January 31, 2020 were $584 and cash inflows from changes in inventory were $704 for the three months ended January 31, 2019. The difference was primarily driven by operational performance and timing of shipments.

33


Cash outflows from changes in prepaids and other assets for the three months ended January 31, 2020 were $1,061 and cash inflows from changes in prepaids and other assets for the three months ended January 31, 2019 were $1,059. The difference was primarily driven by the timing of invoicing customer-funded tooling.
Cash outflows from changes in payables and other liabilities for the three months ended January 31, 2020 were $21,157 and cash outflows from changes in payables and other liabilities for the three months ended January 31, 2019 were $34,138. The difference was primarily driven by payment terms with our customers and vendors, offset partially by the timing of payments related to capital expenditures and customer-funded tooling.
Cash inflows from changes in accrued income taxes for the three months ended January 31, 2020 were $1,554 and cash outflows from changes in accrued income taxes for the three months ended January 31, 2019 were $3,781. The changes were primarily driven by the timing of payments of income taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities:

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019 were $11,522 and $4,803, respectively. Capital expenditures were $11,522 and $15,661 for the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The expenditures are attributed to projects for new business awards and product launches. Additionally, for the three months ended January 31, 2019, proceeds from the sale of assets generated $10,858, primarily from the sale of the Pendergrass facility.
    
Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities:

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2020 was $16,312, and net cash used by financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2019 was $6,901. During the three months ended January 31, 2020, we borrowed more on our credit facility to fund operating activities.

As of January 31, 2020, the Company's long-term indebtedness was $265,195. Refer to "Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 8 – Financing Arrangements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Long-term debt and short-term borrowings:

As of January 31, 2020, we were in compliance with our long-term financial debt covenants. Refer to "Item 1. – Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 8 – Financing Arrangements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations have not changed materially from those disclosed in "Part II – Item 7. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Contractual Obligations" of our 2019 Form 10-K. 

Item 3.        Qualitative and Quantitative Market Risk Discussion

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. We are exposed to market risk throughout the normal course of our business operations due to purchases of metals, sales of scrap steel, our ongoing investing and financing activities and exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. As such, we have established policies and procedures to govern our management of market risks. There have been no material changes to market risk exposures related to changes in commodity pricing, interest rates or currency exchange rates from those discussed in Item 7A of our 2019 Form 10-K.


Item 4.
Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer ("PEO"), Principal Financial Officer ("PFO") and Principal Accounting Officer ("PAO"), as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the PEO, PFO and PAO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of

34


our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b), as amended as of January 31, 2020. Based on their evaluation, our PEO, PFO and PAO have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January 31, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended January 31, 2020, with the exception of changes for the adoption of the new leasing accounting guidance under ASU 2016-02. We implemented new controls during the first quarter of 2020 to support our implementation of the new standard.

Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.        Legal Proceedings

See Note 19, Commitments and Contingencies, in Item I of this report which is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors

We are exposed to certain risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position and operating results. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.

We face business disruption and related risks resulting from the recent outbreak of the coronavirus, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

As a result of our international operations, our business could be disrupted and materially adversely affected by the recent outbreak of coronavirus in China. As a result of measures imposed by the Chinese government, many businesses and schools have been suspended from the end of January 2020 with the intention to contain the outbreak.  The coronavirus has spread to other countries in Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.  While the coronavirus outbreak is still in early stages, international stock markets have begun to reflect the uncertainty associated with the slow-down in the Chinese economy and the reduced levels of international travel experienced since the beginning of January.   The recent coronavirus outbreak has impacted and could further impact our operations, customers and suppliers in China and potentially in other regions as a result of quarantines, facility closures, and travel and logistics restrictions in connection with the outbreak.  We are evaluating the impact that the coronavirus outbreak could have on our operations and liquidity in China and other regions.
