Shiloh Industries Reports Second-Quarter and First Six Months ResultsCLEVELAND, May 25 Shiloh Industries, Inc. , a leading supplier of blanks, stampings and processed steel for the automotive, truck and other industries, today announced financial results for the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2000. For the second quarter ended April 30, 2000, net income increased 38.0% to $5.5 million, or $0.40 per basic and diluted share, from $4.0 million, or $0.31 per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 1999. Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 increased by 45.6% to $11.9 million, from $8.2 million in the second quarter of 1999. Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 85.0% to $165.7 million, from $89.6 million in the comparable period of fiscal 1999. For the first six months ended April 30, 2000, net income increased to $9.7 million, or $.69 per share, compared with net income of $6.0 million, or $.46 per share, for the first six months of fiscal 1999. Operating income for the first six months of fiscal 2000 increased to $20.6 million from $12.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 1999. Revenues for the first half of the year increased 79.1% to $306.5 million from $171.2 million for the first half of fiscal 1999. Net income for the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2000, was impacted by start-up costs of $0.7 million related to the Company's new Saltillo, Mexico facility. The substantial revenue increase primarily reflects the inclusion of MTD Automotive, Inc. and Ohio Welded Blank in the results for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. MTD Automotive, Inc., a supplier of high quality engineered metal parts and components to the automotive sector, was acquired on November 1, 1999. 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. "We are pleased with our results. We posted a substantial increase in revenues. We continue to see the benefits of organizational and operational changes implemented last year. Our new management team has made positive changes to shape our new Company culture, increase business volume and continue improvements in customer satisfaction. Our new sales and marketing team and infrastructure have attracted additional automotive business across most of our subsidiaries. The new Shiloh Operating System has made a material difference in quality-process improvements," said Jack Falcon, President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Falcon said the Company's new tailor-welded blanking plant in Saltillo, Mexico is nearing pre-production start-up. The new plant will undergo its first test runs within 60 days and the plant is expected to become operational in the second half of fiscal 2000. The Saltillo plant will principally manufacture tailor-welded blanks for a variety of body and underbody parts, for a nearby General Motors Corporation plant. Headquartered in Cleveland, Shiloh Industries, Inc. 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 continue to successfully integrate the operations of MTD Automotive; the ability to commence operations and minimize start-up costs at new facilities, including the facility in Saltillo, Mexico; 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.
