Shiloh Industries Reports First Quarter Results Record RevenuesCLEVELAND, Feb. 25 -- Shiloh Industries, Inc. , a leading supplier of blanks, stampings and processed steel to the automotive, truck and other industries, posted record revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2000. For the first quarter of fiscal 2000, net income increased 103.9% to $4.1 million, or $0.30 per basic and diluted share, from $2.0 million, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share, in the first quarter of fiscal 1999. Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 increased by 84.7% to $8.6 million, from $4.7 million in the first quarter of 1999. Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 72.6% to $140.8 million, from $81.6 million in the comparable period of fiscal 1999. The substantial revenue increase chiefly reflects the inclusion of MTD Automotive, Inc. and the inclusion of Ohio Welded Blank in the first quarter 2000 results. MTD Automotive, Inc., a major supplier of high quality engineered metal parts and components to the automotive sector, was acquired on November 1, 1999, at the beginning of the current fiscal year. Ohio Welded Blank, an expansion of Medina Blanking, is a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility for tailor-welded blanks for the automotive sector. This facility became operational in November 1999. "The first quarter was exceptionally strong from a revenue standpoint. We are seeing results from our new management team. We are generating additional automotive business volume. And we are experiencing quality-process improvements on a companywide basis from the new Shiloh Operating System," John F. Falcon, President and CEO, said. Mr. Falcon noted that the company's new tailor-welded blanking plant in Saltillo, Mexico is on schedule and anticipated to come online in the second half of fiscal 2000. The Saltillo plant will principally manufacture tailor-welded blanks for a variety of body and underbody parts principally for a nearby General Motors Corporation plant. Headquartered in Cleveland, Shiloh Industries is a leading supplier of blanks, stampings and processed steel for the automotive, truck and other industries. The company currently operates 11 subsidiaries in Ohio, Michigan and Georgia and employs more than 3,000 people. The forward-looking statements in this press release 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; the ability of the Company to successfully integrate the operations of MTD Automotive; the ability to commence operations and minimize start-up costs at new facilities, including the Mexico facility; potential disruptions in operations due to, or during facility expansions; delays in, or cancellations of, customer programs; the risks and uncertainties related to commencing foreign operations; a labor dispute involving Shiloh, its customers or suppliers; and other risks and uncertainties that may be identified from time to time in the company's reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
