Shiloh Industries Reports Record Third-Quarter Earnings and RevenuesMANSFIELD, Ohio, Aug. 18 -- Shiloh Industries, Inc. today reported that income from continuing operations rose 15 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 and 18 percent for the first nine months ended July 31, 1997, compared with the same periods in fiscal 1996. Income from continuing operations for the quarter increased to $4.6 million, or $.36 per share, from $4.1 million, or $.31 per share, in the same quarter a year ago. Operating income increased 16 percent to $7.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 from $6.5 million in the same quarter a year ago. Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 were $65.5 million, up 22 percent from $53.6 million in the same quarter last year. For the nine months ended July 31, 1997, income from continuing operations rose to $14.6 million, or $1.12 per share, from $12.4 million, or $.95 per share, in the same period of the pervious fiscal year. Operating income was $23.8 million, a 17 percent increase for the nine months ended July 31, 1997, from the $20.3 million reported a year earlier. Revenues were $200.7 million, up 23 percent for the nine months ended July 31, 1997, from $163.1 million in the same period last year. "We are very pleased with our operating results for the third quarter," said Robert L. Grissinger, president, chief executive officer and chairman. "The impact on our operations from the automotive shutdowns traditionally experienced in the third quarter was less than expected. This was due in part to the revenue and earnings contribution provided by Greenfield Die & Manufacturing Corporation, our latest acquisition." To date in fiscal 1997, the company has spent $37.9 million of a record budgeted $60.4 million on capital expenditures as compared to $38 million in fiscal 1996. The majority of these expenditures are being made to expand several current facilities, including Greenfield Die, Sectional Stamping and Medina Blanking. "These expansions as well as our announced Georgia facility are consistent with the company's long-term growth plan to grow through a combination of plant expansions, greenfield sites and selective acquisitions," said Grissinger. Based in Mansfield, Ohio, Shiloh Industries is a premier supplier of high- quality steel blanks, stampings and processed steel to automotive, appliance and other industrial manufacturers. The company operates eight facilities in Ohio and Michigan and employs more than 1,250 people. The above statements contained in this news release include forward- looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: a downturn in the automotive industry and the general economy; competitive factors such as increases in the price of, or limitations on the availability of steel; and other risks and uncertainties that may be identified from time to time in the company's reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
