SHILOH INDUSTRIES REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER and FISCAL 2011 RESULTS


Valley City, OH, December 19, 2011 - Shiloh Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: SHLO) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended October 31, 2011.

Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2011 Highlights:
Sales revenue for the quarter increased to $143.7 million, an increase of 13.4% from the prior year quarter. Fiscal 2011 sales revenues were $517.7 million, a 13.2% increase over the prior year.
Operating income was $4.6 million for the quarter and $14.8 million for the fiscal year.
Total debt at October 31, 2011 was $26.1 million resulting in a net debt to total capitalization ratio of 19.5%.
Reported net income of $0.13 per share diluted for the quarter compared to a net loss of $0.04 per share diluted in the prior year quarter. Fiscal 2011 net income was $0.47 per share diluted compared to $0.23 per share diluted in the prior year.

Sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 of $143.7 million improved 13.4% compared to fourth quarter sales for fiscal 2010 of $126.7 million. North American car and light truck production volumes in total increased 10.2% compared to the fourth quarter of the prior year with the traditional domestic manufacturers' production volumes increasing by 7.7%. The Company's sales revenue increased above the industry statistics due to a favorable mix of





vehicle platforms, the impact of new programs launched since the fourth quarter of the prior year and an increase in the heavy truck industry.
The Company reported operating income of $4.6 million or 3.2% of sales, which included impairment charges of $0.3 million, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 compared to an operating loss of $0.3 million, including the impairment charges of $4.6 million and restructuring charges of $0.3 million in the prior year fourth quarter. The Manufacturing and Selling, General and Administrative costs increased in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 as expected, compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, as a result of increased labor costs associated with the higher production volumes, preparation for new program launches, the phase out of the Company's Mansfield facility and the start-up costs related to the Company's Bowling Green facility. In addition, the implemented increase in payroll and benefit expenses, which were restored to pre-crisis levels at the beginning of the fiscal year, increased costs year-over-year by approximately $3.9 million.
Interest expense for the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year was $0.4 million compared to $0.6 million in the prior year fourth quarter as a result of a reduction in average borrowing rates from the Company's amended and restated Credit Agreement entered into in April 2011.
The Company reported net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 of $2.2 million or $0.13 per share diluted, which includes an asset impairment charge of $0.3 million or $0.01 per share diluted. This compares to a net loss for the fourth quarter of the prior year of $0.7 million or $0.04 per share diluted, after the recognition of $4.9 million in impairment and restructuring charges related to the closure of our Mansfield facility.

Fiscal Year 2011 Results
For fiscal year 2011, sales of $517.7 million were $60.5 million or 13.2% higher than sales for fiscal 2010. The increased sales are a reflection of the improved car and light truck





production of 8.1% in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010, increased volumes in the heavy truck industry and the benefit of new program launches.
Operating income for fiscal year 2011 was $14.8 million, including net asset impairment charges of $0.1 million and restructuring charges of $0.4 million, compared to an operating income of $9.9 million, including the asset impairment charges of $4.5 million and restructuring charges of $0.3 million in fiscal 2010.
Interest expense for fiscal 2011 of $1.7 million was $2.0 million less than fiscal 2010 due to a reduction in the level of average borrowed funds and lower average borrowing rates.
The Company's net income for fiscal 2011 was $7.8 million or $0.47 per share diluted including the impairment and restructuring charges, compared to $3.9 million or $0.23 per share diluted including the impairment and restructuring charges in fiscal 2010.
In commenting on the results of fiscal year 2011, Theodore K. Zampetis, President and CEO, said “Fiscal year 2011, as expected, was another year of continuous improvement in operational and financial performance for the Company after the crisis years of 2008 and 2009 in the overall economy and the automotive industry. The car and light truck production volumes ended up as we forecasted at 12.8 million units in our fiscal year 2011, which is an indication that the gradual improvement trend continues in spite of the relative volatility experienced from month to month in the vehicle build schedules.”
“During the year, the Company accomplished the operational targets set by strengthening our sales and business development structure, accelerating our product innovation cycle, completing the phase out of our Mansfield, OH facility and the start up phase of our new facility in Bowling Green, KY, resulting in an effective geographic footprint in the region. In addition, we launched successfully a number of programs for several customers and we were awarded the first mass produced “AcroStik Panel Laminate” product from a major customer.”
Mr. Zampetis concluded, “during 2011 we generated sufficient cash flow from operations





to finance all the financial needs of the Company and finished with a reduced debt level, and a net debt to total capitalization ratio of 19.5% and asset turnover of 2.2 times. The Company is well positioned to leverage the opportunities that are created with the increased demand that is anticipated to continue in 2012 and beyond.”


Retirement of Theodore K. Zampetis

The Company also announced that Mr. Zampetis, has informed its board of directors that he will retire as President and Chief Executive Officer on December 31, 2012. Mr. Zampetis is expected to continue to serve on the Company's board of directors following his retirement. The Company also announced that its board of directors has begun the process of identifying a successor to Mr. Zampetis.
“Ted Zampetis has been an exceptional leader in very difficult times. Our shareholders owe him a great debt of gratitude,” said Curt Moll, Chairman of the Board of the Company.
Headquartered in Valley City, Ohio, Shiloh Industries is a leading manufacturer of first operation blanks, engineered welded blanks, complex stampings and modular assemblies for the automotive and heavy truck industries.
