SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC.
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 by 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, 2017
.
Revenues and operating results for the
three
months ended
January 31, 2018
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Prior Year Reclassification
In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we early adopted
the provisions of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2017-07 "
Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost".
The reclassification of certain prior year amounts as a result of early adopting ASU 2017-07 is detailed in Note 2 - Recent Accounting Standards
.

Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
|
This amendment allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Job Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users.
|
November 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted.
|
We do not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.
|
ASU 2017-09
Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)
|
This amendment clarifies when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The new guidance requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. The amendment should be adopted on a prospective basis.
|
November 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.
|
We do not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as it is not our practice to change either the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards once they are granted.

ASU 2014-09
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
|
The amendments require companies to recognize revenue when there is a transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The amendments should be applied on either a full or modified retrospective basis, which clarifies existing accounting literature relating to how and when a company recognizes revenue. The FASB, through the issuance of ASU No. 2015-14, "
Revenue from Contracts with Customers,
" approved a one year delay of the effective date and permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. During fiscal 2016, the FASB issued ASUs 2016-10, 2016-11 and 2016-12. Finally, ASU 2016-20 makes minor corrections or minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities.
|
November 1, 2018.
|
We are planning a bottom up approach to analyze the standard's impact on our revenues by looking at historical policies and practices and identifying the differences from applying the new standard to our revenue stream. While we have not yet identified any material changes in the timing of revenue recognition, our evaluation is ongoing and not complete. We have established a cross-functional coordinated team to implement the guidance related to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. We are in the process of assessing our customer contracts, identifying contractual provisions that may result in a change in the timing or the amount of revenue recognized in comparison with current guidance, as well as assessing the enhanced disclosure requirements of the new guidance. In addition, we have selected the modified retrospective approach but have not yet selected a transition date nor have we determined the effect of the standard to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition 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 November 2017, the FASB voted to amend ASC Topic 842 to allow companies to elect not to restate their comparative periods in the period of adoption when transitioning to the standard. The amendment is expected to be finalized in the first quarter of 2018.
|
November 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted.
|
We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on our financial statements and disclosures. We are in the beginning stages of developing a project plan with key stakeholders throughout the organization and gathering and analyzing detailed information on existing lease arrangements. This includes evaluating the available practical expedients, calculating the lease asset and liability balances associated with individual contractual arrangements and assessing the disclosure requirements. In addition, we continue to monitor FASB amendments to ASC Topic 842.
|
ASU 2016-01
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
|
This amendment addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Most prominent among the amendments is the requirement for changes in the fair value of the Company's equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be recognized through net income rather than other comprehensive income ("OCI"). The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet in year of adoption.
|
November 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.
|
We do not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of financial position or financial statement disclosures.

Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost
|
This amendment requires the presentation of the service cost component of net benefit cost to be in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. All other components of net benefit cost should be presented separately from the service cost component and outside of a subtotal of earnings from operations, or separately disclosed. The amendments should be adopted on a retrospective basis.
|
November 1, 2017.
|
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2017-07, pension costs were reported as cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income. As a result of the early adoption of ASU 2017-07, we reclassified $322 from cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses to other expense, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2017.

ASU 2015-11
Inventory
|
This amendment simplifies the measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis.

The adoption of these provisions did not have a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of financial position or financial statement disclosures.

Note 3—Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are expected to be collected within one year and are net of an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of
$639
and
$1,271
at
January 31, 2018
and
October 31, 2017
, respectively. We recognized a benefit of
$120
and
$13
from recoveries of receivables previously expensed during the
three months ended January 31, 2018
and
2017
, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements 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, commercial vehicle and industrial markets.
As a part of our working capital management, the Company entered into a factoring agreement with a third party financial institution ("institution") for the sale of certain accounts receivable with recourse. The activity under this agreement is accounted for as a sale of accounts receivable under ASC Topic 860 "
Transfers and Servicing.
" This agreement relates exclusively to the accounts receivable of certain Swedish customers. The amount sold varies each month based on the amount of underlying receivables and cash flow requirements of the Company. In addition, the agreement addresses events and conditions which may obligate us to immediately repay the institution the purchase price of the receivables sold.
The total amount of accounts receivable factored was
$8,714
and
$7,567
as of
January 31, 2018
and
October 31, 2017
, respectively. As these sales of accounts receivable are with recourse,
$9,223
and
$8,072
was recorded in accounts payable as of
January 31, 2018
and
October 31, 2017
, respectively. The cost of selling these receivables is dependent upon the number of days between the sale date of the receivables and the date the client’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.

three months ended January 31,

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, CIBC Bank USA, Compass Bank and The Huntington National Bank,
SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
N.A., as Co-Documentation Agents, and the other lender parties thereto.
On
October 31, 2017
, we executed the Eighth Amendment ("Eighth Amendment") to the Credit Agreement which among other things: provides for an aggregate availability of
$350,000
,
$275,000
of which is available to the Company through the Tranche A Facility and
$75,000
of which is available to the Dutch borrower through the Tranche B Facility, and eliminates the scheduled reductions in such availability; increases the aggregate amount of incremental commitment increases allowed under the Credit Agreement to up to
$150,000
subject to our pro forma compliance with financial covenants, the Administrative Agent’s approval and the Company obtaining commitments for any such increase. The Eighth Amendment extended the commitment period to October 31, 2022.
On July 31, 2017, we executed the Seventh Amendment which modifies investments in subsidiaries and various cumulative financial covenant thresholds, in each case, under the Credit Agreement. The Amendment also enhances our ability to take advantage of customer supply chain finance programs.
On October 28, 2016, we executed the Sixth Amendment which increases the permitted consolidated leverage ratio for periods beginning after July 31, 2016; increases the permitted consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio for periods beginning after April 30, 2017; modifies various baskets related to sale of accounts receivable, disposition of assets, sale-leaseback transactions, and makes other ministerial updates.
On October 30, 2015, we executed a Fifth Amendment that increased the permitted leverage ratio with periodic reductions beginning after July 30, 2016. In addition, the Fifth Amendment permitted various investments as well as up to
$40,000
aggregate outstanding principal amount of subordinated indebtedness, subject to certain conditions. Finally, the Fifth Amendment provided for a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio and provided for up to
$50,000
of capital expenditures by the Company and its subsidiaries throughout the year ending October 31, 2016, subject to certain quarterly baskets.
On April 29, 2015, we executed a Fourth Amendment that maintained the commitment period to September 29, 2019 and allowed for an incremental increase of
$25,000
(or if certain ratios are met,
$100,000
) in the original revolving commitment of
$360,000
, subject to the Company's pro forma compliance with financial covenants, the administrative agent's approval and the Company obtaining commitments for such increase.
The Fourth Amendment included scheduled commitment reductions beginning after January 30, 2016 totaling
$30,000
, allocated proportionately between the Aggregate Revolving A and B commitments. On April 30, 2016, the first committed reduction of
$5,000
decreased the existing revolving commitment to
$355,000
, subject to pro forma compliance with financial covenants.
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
1.50%
to
3.00%
and of
0.50%
to
2.00%
on base rate loans depending on the Company's leverage ratio.
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 under the Credit Agreement as of
January 31, 2018
and
October 31, 2017
.
After considering letters of credit of
$6,215
that we have issued, unused commitments under the Credit Agreement were
$164,185
at
January 31, 2018
.
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
65%
of the stock of our foreign subsidiaries.
Other Debt:
SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
On
August 1, 2017
, we entered into a finance agreement with an insurance broker for various insurance policies that bears interest at a fixed rate of
2.05%
and requires monthly payments of
$94
through
May 2018
. As of
January 31, 2018
,
$373
of principal remained outstanding under this agreement and was classified as current debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
On September 2, 2013, we entered into an equipment security note that bears interest at a fixed rate of
2.47%
and requires monthly payments of
$44
through September 2018. As of
January 31, 2018
,
$351
remained outstanding under this agreement and was classified as current debt in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
We maintain capital leases for equipment used in our manufacturing facilities with lease terms expiring between 2018 and 2021. As of
January 31, 2018
, the present value of minimum lease payments under our capital leases amounted to
$3,722
.
Derivatives:
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 the 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 above, 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 rate monies borrowed. Any ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship is recognized immediately into earnings. We determined the mark-to-market adjustment for the interest rate swap to be a gain of
$805
and
$1,119
, net of tax, for the
three months ended January 31,
2018
and
2017
, respectively, which is reflected in other comprehensive income (loss). The base notional amounts of
$25,000
each or
$75,000
total that commenced during 2015 and fiscal 2016 resulted in realized losses of
$280
and
$418
of interest expense related to the interest rate swap settlements for the
three months ended January 31,
2018
and
2017
, respectively.

We were not required to and therefore did not contribute to our U.S. pension plans during the
three months ended January 31,

and
2017
. We expect to contribute at least
$450
to our U.S. pension plans in fiscal
2018
.
Non-U.S. Plans
For our Swedish operations, the majority of the pension obligations are covered by insurance policies with insurance companies. For our Polish operations, at January 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, we had a pension obligation liability of
$1,325
and
$1,008
, respectively, based on actuarial reports. The Polish operations recognized
$57
and
$38
of expense for the
three months ended January 31,
2018
and
2017
, respectively.
Early Adoption of ASU 2017-07 - Impact
In accordance with the Company's early adoption of ASU 2017-07, we report the service cost component of the net periodic pension and post-retirement costs in the same line item in the statement of operations as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the employees during the period for both our U.S. and Non-U.S. Plans. The other components of net periodic pension and post-retirement costs are presented in the statement of operations separately from the service cost component
and outside a subtotal of operating income. Therefore,
$57
and
$56
of service costs are included in cost of sales and
$285
and
$322
of net periodic pension and other post-retirement costs are included in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 12—Stock Incentive Compensation
Stock Incentive Compensation falls under the scope of ASC Topic 718
"Compensation – Stock Compensation"
and affects the stock awards that have been granted and requires us to expense share-based payment ("SBP") awards with compensation cost for SBP transactions measured at fair value. For restricted stock and restricted stock units, we are computing fair value based on a twenty day Exponential Moving Average ("EMA") as of the close of business the Friday preceding the award date. For stock options, we have elected to 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. Forfeitures have been estimated based upon our historical experience.
2016 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan
Long-Term / Annual Incentives
On March 9, 2016, stockholders approved and adopted the 2016 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan ("2016 Plan") which replaced the Amended and Restated 1993 Key Employee Stock Incentive Program. The 2016 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) option rights, (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
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 option and / or appreciation rights is limited to
500
shares during any calendar year. Also, an individual's award of restricted shares, restricted share units and performance based awards is limited to
350
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,
2018
and
2017
.
Stock options were not exercised during the
three months ended January 31,
2018
. Options that have an exercise price greater than the market price are excluded from the intrinsic value computation. At both
January 31, 2018
and
October 31, 2017
, the exercise price of some of our stock option grants were higher than the market value of our stock. At
January 31, 2018
and
October 31, 2017
, the options outstanding and exercisable had an intrinsic value of
$82
and
$137
, respectively.
Restricted Stock Awards -
The grant date fair value of each restricted stock award equals the fair value of our common stock based on a 20 day EMA as of the close of business on the Friday preceding the award 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. The vesting periods range between one to four years. As of
January 31, 2018
, there was approximately
$3,301
of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock that is expected to be recognized over the next three fiscal years.
Restricted Stock Units -
The grant date fair value of each restricted stock unit equals the fair value of our common stock based on a 20 day EMA as of the close of business on the Friday preceding the award 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. The vesting

periods range between one to three years. As of
January 31, 2018
, there was approximately
$239
of total unrecognized compensation expense related to these restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over the next three fiscal years.
Cash Incentive Award Agreements -
Under the provisions of the 2016 Plan, Cash Incentive Awards are granted annually to executives and director level employees. These awards were designed to provide the individuals with an incentive to participate in the long-term success and growth of the Company. The Cash Incentive Award amounts are based on 3-year return on capital employed and 3-year adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization goals, which could range from
0%
to
200%
based on the achievement of performance goals. The Cash Incentive Award Agreements cliff-vest after three years if the performance goals are achieved. These awards may be subject to payment upon a change in control or termination of employment, under certain circumstances, if certain performance goals are achieved. In addition, these awards represent unfunded, unsecured obligations of the Company.
During the
three months ended January 31,
2018
and
2017
, respectively, we recorded expense related to these awards of
$199
and
$72
, respectively. At
January 31, 2018
and
October 31, 2017
, we had a liability of
$735
and
$536
, respectively, related to these awards and is presented as other non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Note 13—Other 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, 2018

Market Approach
|
We calculate the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts, using quoted interest rate curves, to calculate forward values, and then discounts 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.
We calculate the fair value of our marketable securities by using the closing stock price on the last business day of the quarter.
Note 14—Asset Impairment
During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we recorded asset impairment charge of
$41
related to idled equipment. There were no asset impairment charges during the first quarter of fiscal
2018
.

Note 15—Restructuring Charges
During the fourth quarter of fiscal
2017
, management decided to initiate restructuring activities such as consolidating manufacturing facilities, making geographical shifts to place production closer to customer facilities, and optimizing our product plan. Management believes these strategic moves will result in a more efficient and focused footprint allowing the Company to operate with lower fixed costs. During the three months ended January 31, 2018, we incurred
$1,514
related to employee, professional, legal and other costs. We have incurred to date restructuring expenses of
$6,291
. We expect to incur approximately an additional
$10,700
over the next eighteen to twenty-four months. The benefits from this initiative are expected to provide savings with less than a three-year payback. Any future restructuring actions will depend upon market conditions, customer actions and other factors.

Note 16—Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended
January 31, 2018
was a benefit of
$3,058
on a pretax income of
$1,800
for an effective tax rate of
(169.9)%
. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended
January 31, 2017
was a benefit of
$76
on a pretax loss of
$2,094
for an effective tax rate of
3.6%
.
The effective tax rate for the
three months ended January 31,
2018
and
2017
varies from the statutory rate primarily due to the effect of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJA") and foreign currency losses without a tax benefit, respectively.
On December 22, 2017, the TCJA was enacted into law, which changed various U.S. corporate income tax provisions within the existing Internal Revenue Code. The TCJA, among other things, lowered the U.S. corporate tax rate from
35%
to
21%
effective January 1, 2018, while also repealing the deduction for domestic production activities, implementing a modified territorial tax system and imposing a repatriation tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. As a result, we are provisionally estimating our one-time non-cash net tax benefit related to the remeasurement of our U.S. deferred taxes to be approximately
$3,200
. We have performed an analysis on taxes related to deemed repatriation of foreign earnings and concluded we have no liability based on information to date. We will continue to analyze the TCJA to assess the full effects on our financial results, including disclosures, for our fiscal year ending October 31, 2018. In accordance with guidance provided by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), we have not completed our accounting for the tax effects of the TCJA; however, in certain cases, as described below, we have made a provisional estimate of the effects on our existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax. Any adjustments to the provisional amounts will be recognized as a component of the provision for income taxes in the period in which such adjustments are determined, but in any event, no later than the fourth quarter of 2018, in accordance with SAB 118.
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 2016 Plan are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation to the extent they are dilutive. For the
three months ended January 31,
2018
and
2017
, approximately
259
and
27
stock awards, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted earnings per share computation for net income (loss) per share:

Note 18—Business Segment Information
For the
three months ended January 31,
2018
, we
conducted our business and reported our information as one operating segment - Automotive and Commercial Vehicles.
Our chief operating decision maker has been identified as the executive leadership team,
which includes certain Vice Presidents, all Senior Vice Presidents plus the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. 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, the existence of managers responsible for the operating activities and information presented to our board of directors for its consideration and advice. Customers and suppliers are substantially the same in the automotive and commercial vehicle industry.

Note 19—Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation:
A securities class action lawsuit was filed on September 21, 2015 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and certain of our officers (the President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance and Treasurer). As amended, the lawsuit claims in part that we issued inaccurate information to investors about, among other things, our earnings and income and our internal controls over financial reporting for fiscal 2014 and the first and second fiscal quarters of 2015 in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The amended complaint seeks an award of damages in an unspecified amount on behalf of a putative class consisting of persons who purchased our common stock between January 12, 2015 and September 14, 2015, inclusive. The Company and such officers filed a Motion to Dismiss this lawsuit with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on April 18, 2016. The District Court rendered an opinion and order granting our motion to dismiss the lawsuit on March 23, 2017. On April 6, 2017, the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration of the dismissal order. We, in opposition to the plaintiff's motion, filed a motion for consideration of the dismissal on April 20, 2017 and the plaintiffs filed a reply motion in opposition for reconsideration on April 27, 2017. On July 7, 2017, the District Court denied the Plaintiffs’ request to vacate the District Court’s March 23, 2017 order of dismissal and granted the Plaintiff’s request to further amend their complaint. The Plaintiffs filed their Second Amended Complaint on August 4, 2017. We filed our Motion to Dismiss the Second Amended Compliant on August 18, 2017. The Plaintiffs’ filed their opposition brief on November 2, 2017 and we filed our reply in support of defendants’ motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on November 22, 2017.
SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
A shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed on April 1, 2016 in the Court of Common Pleas, Medina County, Ohio against the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Finance and Treasurer and members of our Board of Directors. The lawsuit claims in part that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties owed to the Company by failing to exercise appropriate oversight over our accounting controls, leading to the accounting issues and the restatement announced in September 2015. The complaint seeks a judgment against the individual defendants and in favor of the Company for money damages, plus miscellaneous non-monetary relief. On May 2, 2016, the Court entered a stipulated order staying this case pending the outcome of the Motion to Dismiss in the securities class action lawsuit described in the previous paragraph.
In addition, 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 our 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 condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We have over 4,200 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 North American and European automotive industries, which are driven by macro-economic factors such as gross domestic product growth, consumer income and confidence levels, fluctuating commodity, currency and gasoline prices, automobile discounts and incentive offers and perceptions about global economic stability. The automotive industry remains susceptible to these factors that impact consumer spending habits and could adversely impact consumer demand for vehicles.
Our products are included in many models of vehicles manufactured by nearly all OEMs that produce vehicles in Europe and North America. Our revenues are dependent upon the production of automobiles and light trucks in both Europe and North America. According to industry statistics (published by IHS Automotive in February 2018), Europe and North America production volumes for the
three
months ended
January 31, 2018
and
2017
were as follows:

Europe:
Production in Europe continues to improve, although production increases or decreases vary from country to country and from OEM to OEM. Reflective of an improved economic environment, production volumes were up for the three months ended
January 31, 2018
. The United Kingdom's decision to withdraw from the European Union along with political developments in other European countries has cast an element of uncertainty around continued economic improvement in the region.
North America:
Production in North America, and specifically in the United States, has been inconsistent in recent quarters as the OEMs realign their inventories, switch production to higher margin trucks and SUVs and change over vehicle platforms, which can cause periods of limited of accelerated production. However, we remain confident of improvements in the overall economy, including labor force expansion, housing starts, rising interest rates and automotive sales.
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. Management continues to develop and execute initiatives designed to meet challenges of the industry and to achieve our strategy for sustainable global profitable growth.
Capacity utilization levels are very important to profitability because of the capital-intensive nature of our operations. 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.
Most of the steel purchased for our
BlankLight®
and
StampLight®
brands is purchased through the customers’ steel buying programs. Under these programs, the customer negotiates the price for steel with the steel suppliers. We pay for the steel based on these negotiated prices and pass on those costs to the customer. Although we take ownership of the steel, our customers are responsible for all steel price fluctuations under these programs. We also purchase steel directly from domestic primary steel producers and steel service centers. Current demand for construction and oil industry related steel products and stable automotive production have helped the market rebound from historic lows with steel pricing stabilizing. We have seen recent gradual downward pricing pressure since the rise, but this is likely related to historic seasonal pricing weakness as domestic summer shutdown periods are approaching. We refer to the “net steel impact” as the combination of the change in steel prices that are reflected in the price of our products, the change in the cost to procure steel from the source, and the change in our recovery of offal. Our strategy is to be economically neutral to steel pricing by having these factors offset each other. As the price of steel has risen, so have the scrap metal markets as they are highly correlated. We blank and process steel for some of our customers on a toll processing basis. Under these arrangements,we charge a tolling fee for the operations that we perform without acquiring ownership of the steel and being burdened with the attendant costs of ownership and risk of loss. Revenues from operations involving directly owned steel include a component of raw material cost whereas toll processing revenues do not.
For our aluminum and magnesium die casting operations,
CastLight®
brands, the cost of the materials is adjusted frequently to align with secured purchase commitments based on customer releases or based on referenced metal index plus additional material cost spreads agreed to by us and our customers.
Critical Accounting Policies
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 condensed 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.
Revenue Recognition.
We recognize revenue from the sales of products when there is evidence of a sales agreement, the delivery of goods has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability of revenue is reasonably assured. We record revenues upon shipment of product to customers and transfer of title under standard commercial terms. Price adjustments, including those arising from resolution of quality issues, price and quantity discrepancies, surcharges for fuel and/or steel and other commercial issues, are recognized in the period when management believes that such amounts become probable, based on management’s estimates. We enter into contracts with customers in the development of molds, dies and tools (collectively, "tooling") to be sold to such customers. We primarily record tooling revenues and costs net in cost of sales at the time of completion and final billing to the customer. These billings are recorded as progress billings (a reduction of the associated tooling costs) until the
appropriate revenue recognition criteria have been met. The tooling contracts are separate arrangements between us and our customers and are recorded on a gross or net basis in accordance with current applicable revenue recognition accounting literature.
Pre-production and development costs.
We enter into contractual agreements with certain customers to develop tooling. All such tooling contracts relate to parts that we will supply to customers under supply agreements. Tooling costs are capitalized in prepaid expenses and other assets we determined by the fact that tooling contracts are separate from standard production contracts. The classification in prepaid or other assets for tooling costs is based upon the period of reimbursement from the customer as either current or non-current.
Income Taxes.
In accordance with ASC Topic 740, our income tax expense is calculated based on expected income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which we operate and require the use of management's estimates and judgments.
Business Combinations.
We include the results of operations of the businesses that we acquire as of the respective dates of acquisition. We allocate the fair value of the purchase price of our acquisitions to the tangible and intangible assets acquired, and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.
Intangible Assets.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. We amortize our acquired intangible assets with definitive lives on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three months to 15 years. See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of the current intangible assets and their estimated amortization expense.
We perform analysis of finite-lived intangible assets which are included as a component of the annual impairment of long-lived assets. An impairment analysis of finite-lived intangible assets is performed when indicators of potential impairment exist.
Goodwill.
Goodwill, which represents the excess cost over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired, was
$28,337
as of
January 31, 2018
, or
4.6%
of total assets, and
$27,859
as of
October 31, 2017
, or
4.5%
of total assets.
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 testing 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. These factors are all considered by management in reaching its conclusion about whether to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test.
We perform a quantitative annual goodwill impairment test 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 by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill in that reporting unit.
Share-based Payments.
We record compensation expense for the fair value of nonvested stock option awards and restricted stock awards over the remaining vesting period. We have elected to 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, in consultation with an outside third party. The expected term for the restricted stock award is between three months and four years.
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.
In addition, we do not estimate a forfeiture rate at the time of grant instead we elected to recognize share-based compensation expense when actual forfeitures occur.
The restricted stock and restricted stock units are valued based upon a 20-day EMA as of the Friday prior to the grant of an award. In addition, we do not estimate a forfeiture rate at the time of grant instead we elected to recognize share-based compensation expense when actual forfeitures occur.
U.S. Pension and Other Post-retirement Costs and Liabilities
.
We have recorded significant 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, 2017
, the resulting discount rate from the use of the Principal Curve was
3.65%
,
a decrease
of
0.05%
from a year earlier that contributed to an increase of the benefit obligation of approximately
$59
. A change of 25 basis points in the discount rate at
October 31, 2017
would increase expense on an annual basis by approximately $10 or decrease expense on an annual basis by approximately $14.
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 pension assets by approximately $168.
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, 2017
, the actual return on pension plans’ assets for all of our plans approximated 16.33%, which is higher than the expected rate of return on plan assets of 7.50% 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. Based on current market investment performance, historically we have conservatively contributed to the defined benefit plans and therefore we only have one contribution for fiscal 2018 required in the third quarter.

REVENUES. Revenues for the
first
quarter of fiscal
2018
were
$247,666
compared to revenues of
$247,938
in the
first
quarter of fiscal
2017
, an decrease of
$272
, or
0.1%
. Regional OEM production volume changes negatively impacted revenues by $5,239 which was offset by $5,710 of favorable currency translation. Other revenues were down $743.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for the
first
quarter of fiscal
2018
was
$27,890
compared to gross profit of
$24,104
in the
first
quarter of fiscal
2017
, an increase of
$3,786
, or
15.7%
, on flat sales. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was
11.3%
for the
first
quarter of 2018 and
9.7%
for the
first
quarter of 2017, an improvement of 160 basis points. The improvement in gross profit included changes in customer and product mix and scrap recovery which favorably impacted direct material costs by $4,846. In addition, a decrease in labor and benefits of $376 offset an increase in repairs and maintenance and indirect manufacturing supplies of $1,165.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses support the growth in sales opportunities, new technologies and new product launches. Expenses were
$21,240
and
$20,170
in the
first
quarter of fiscal
2018
and
2017
, respectively. As a percentage of sales, these expenses were
8.6%
of sales for the
first
quarter of fiscal 2018 and
8.1%
of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase reflects higher compensation costs of $1,674 offset by a decrease of $603 in other administrative expenses.
AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Amortization of intangible assets expense was
$565
for both the
first
fiscal quarter of
2018
and
2017
.
ASSET IMPAIRMENT, NET. Asset impairments of $41 were recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 related to restructuring initiatives. There were no asset impairments in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.
RESTRUCTURING. Restructuring charges of
$1,514
were recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 based upon our strategic decision to provide a more efficient and focused footprint allowing us to operate with lower fixed costs. These costs primarily included employee, professional, legal and other costs.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the
first
quarter of fiscal
2018
was
$2,340
, compared to interest expense of
$4,812
in the
first
quarter of fiscal
2017
. The decrease in interest expense was the result of lower average borrowed funds and lower borrowing rates which were offset in part by an increase in amortization of deferred financing fees associated with the Credit Agreement. Borrowed funds averaged
$184,046
during the
first
quarter of fiscal
2018
and the weighted average interest rate was
3.88%
. In the
first
quarter of fiscal
2017
, borrowed funds averaged
$238,421
and the weighted average interest rate of debt was
5.09%
.
OTHER EXPENSE. Other expense, net was
$436
and
$612
for the
first
quarter of fiscal
2018
and
2017
, respectively, a decrease of
$176
. Other expense, net, reflects decreases of $38 in net periodic pension and post-retirement benefit costs, $16 from currency transaction gains realized by our Asian, European and Mexican subsidiaries and $122 in other non-operating expenses.
BENEFIT FOR INCOME TAXES. The benefit for income taxes in the
first
quarter of fiscal
2018
was
$3,058
on income before taxes of

$2,094
for an effective tax rate of
3.6%
. The effective tax rate for the three months ended
January 31, 2018
and
2017
varied from statutory rate primarily due to the effect of the Tax Reform Act and foreign currency losses without a tax benefit. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact that the Tax Reform Act will have on the future effective tax rates.
NET INCOME (LOSS). Net income for the
first
quarter of fiscal
2018
was
$4,858
, or
$0.21
per share, diluted compared to net loss for the

Effect of Inflation, Deflation
Inflation generally affects us by increasing the interest expense of floating rate indebtedness and by increasing the cost of labor, equipment and raw materials. The level of inflation has not had a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial results for the past three years.
In periods of decreasing prices, deflation occurs and may also affect the our results of operations. With respect to steel purchases, we purchase steel through customers' steel buying programs which protects recovery of the cost of steel through the selling price of our products. For non-steel buying programs, we align the cost of steel purchases with the related selling price of the product. For our aluminum and magnesium die casting business, the cost of the materials is adjusted frequently to align with secured purchase commitments based on customer releases or based on referenced metal index plus additional material cost spreads agreed to by us and our customers.
