Shiloh Industries Reports 2006 Second Quarter and First-Six Months ResultsVALLEY CITY, OH -- 05/23/2006 -- Shiloh Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: SHLO) today reported results for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2006.
For the second quarter ended April 30, 2006, the Company reported sales of $172.2 million compared to sales of $166.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005, an increase of 3.2%. Net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was $7.4 million, or $0.45 per share, diluted, compared to net income of $8.5 million, or $0.52 per share, diluted, for the second quarter of fiscal 2005, which included the benefit of $2.0 million or $0.12 per share, diluted, related to favorable tax adjustment issues reported for that period. Net income for the second quarter 2006 included a beneficial tax adjustment of $1.5 million, or $0.09 per share, diluted related to tax credits in the state of Ohio. For the first half of fiscal 2006, sales were $317.9 million compared to $318.3 million in the first half of fiscal 2005. Net income for the first half of fiscal 2006 was $11.9 million, or $0.73 per share, diluted, compared to net income of $13.2 million, or $0.82 per share, diluted, for the first half of fiscal 2005.
Sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 increased 3.2%, in spite of a decline of 0.6% in overall North American car and light truck production and a decline of 3.0% in the car and light truck production of traditional domestic manufacturers during the quarter. The start up of new production programs and business outsourced to the Company from other Tier I manufacturers that supply car and light truck manufacturers contributed to the increased sales recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The Company's sales to the heavy truck market were also strong during the quarter.
Operating income for the second quarter of fiscal 2006 was $10.9 million compared to $12.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2005, a decrease of $1.7 million. Operating results were adversely affected by increased material costs not passed along to customers and increased material use in products produced during the quarter, as well as by increased utility costs. These factors were partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses that declined as a result of recoveries of previously reserved accounts receivable and lower personnel related costs. Operating income for the first half of fiscal 2006 was $19.8 million compared to $23.5 million of operating income for the first half of fiscal 2005.
In commenting on the quarter and year-to-date results, Theodore K. Zampetis, President and CEO, said, "Despite the well published challenges facing the North American automotive industry in recent months, including the decrease in market share of some of our key customers as well as the increased cost of energy and its impact on vehicle build schedules, we continue to meet and exceed the business plan we established for this fiscal year. During the second quarter, we accelerated to peak volumes on several new programs we launched in the first quarter, and we are now preparing for more new program launches planned for the second half of this fiscal year."
Continuing, Mr. Zampetis added, "Recently, Shiloh was honored by General Motors with the 2005 Global Supplier of the Year Award. This is a great honor and privilege for all of our associates at Shiloh who have worked diligently to improve the operating performance and financial status of Shiloh Industries since 2002 when the Company's transformation process began. We anticipate that the basis of being selected for this recognition - -- performance in quality, service, technology and price -- will present to Shiloh further opportunities for growth in the future."
