Delaware corporation to serve as a holding company for its operating subsidiaries and, in July 1993, completed an initial public
offering of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”).
In November 1999, the Company acquired the automotive division of MTD Products Inc (“MTD Automotive”). MTD Holdings
Inc (the parent of MTD Products Inc) and the MTD Products Inc Master Employee Benefit Trust, a trust fund established and
sponsored by MTD Products are owners of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock, making MTD a related party of the

The Company produces engineered welded blanks using both the mash seam resistance and laser weld processes. The
engineered welded blanks that are produced generally consist of two or more sheets of steel of the same or different material grade,
thickness or coating welded together into a single flat panel. The primary distinctions between mash seam resistance and laser welding
are weld bead appearance and cost.
The Company's complex stamping operations produce engineered stampings and modular assemblies. Stamping is a process in
which steel is passed through dies in a stamping press in order to form the steel into three-dimensional parts. The Company produces
complex stamped parts using precision single stage, progressive, deep draw and transfer dies, which the Company either designs and
manufactures or sources from third parties. Some stamping operations also provide value-added processes such as welding, assembly
and painting capabilities. The Company's complex stampings and modular assemblies are principally used as components for body-in-
white, powertrain, seat frames and other structural body components for automobiles.
The Company produces steel blanks in its blanking operations. Blanking is a process in which flat-rolled steel is cut into precise
two-dimensional shapes by passing steel through a press, employing a blanking die. These blanks, which are used principally by

manufacturers in the automobile, heavy truck, and lawn and garden industries, are used by the Company's automotive and heavy truck
customers for automobile exterior and structural components, including fenders, hoods, doors and side panels, and heavy truck wheel
rims and brake components and by the Company's lawn and garden customers for lawn mower decks.
The Company produces complex machined aluminum castings for the automotive and commercial vehicle sector using the high
pressure or squeeze cast technology. Both of these processes are performed in injection molding type machines that support body
structural members, transmission components, drivetrain housings, steering, axle carriers, and engine castings. These casting

are engineered to produce safety critical properties for vehicles by using special alloys, proprietary manufacturing techniques, heat
treatment and close tolerance machining. These are becoming a critical factor in the ongoing lightweighting of vehicles.
To a lesser extent, the Company provides the service of steel processing and processes flat-rolled steel principally for primary
steel producers and manufacturers that require processed steel for end-product manufacturing purposes. The Company also processes
flat-rolled steel for internal blanking and stamping operations. The Company either purchases hot-rolled, cold-rolled or coated steel
from primary steel producers located throughout the Midwest or receives the steel on a toll-processing basis and does not acquire
ownership of it. Cold-rolled and hot-rolled steel often go through additional processing operations to meet the requirements of end-
product manufacturers. The Company's additional processing operations include slitting, cutting-to-length, edge trimming, roller
leveling and quality inspecting of flat-rolled steel.
Slitting is the cutting of coiled steel to precise widths. Cutting-to-length produces steel cut to specified lengths ranging from 12
inches to 168 inches. Edge trimming removes a specified portion of the outside edges of the coiled steel to produce a uniform width.
Roller leveling flattens the steel by applying pressure across the width of the steel to make the steel suitable for blanking and stamping.
To achieve high quality and productivity and to be responsive to customers' just-in-time supply requirements, most of the Company's
steel processing operations are computerized and have combined several complementary processing lines, such as slitting and cutting-
to-length at single facilities. In addition to cleaning, leveling and cutting steel, the Company inspects steel to detect mill production
flaws and utilizes computers to provide both visual displays and documented records of the thickness maintained throughout the entire
coil of steel. The Company also performs inventory control services for some customers.
The Company also designs, engineers and produces precision tools and dies, and weld and secondary assembly equipment. To
support the manufacturing process, the Company supplies or sources from third parties the tools and dies used in the blanking and
stamping operations and the welding and secondary assembly equipment used to manufacture modular systems. Advanced technology
is maintained to create products and processes that fulfill customers' advanced product requirements. The Company has computerized
most of the design and engineering portions of the tool and die production process to reduce production time and cost.
International Operation
The Company's international operation, which is located in Mexico, is subject to various risks that are more likely to affect this
operation than the Company's domestic operations. These include, among other things, exchange rate controls and currency
restrictions, currency fluctuations, changes in local economic conditions, unsettled political conditions, security risk and foreign
government-sponsored boycotts of the Company's products or services for noncommercial reasons. The identifiable assets associated
with the Company's international operation are located where the Company believes the risks to be minimal.
Customers
The Company produces blanked and stamped parts, highly engineered aluminum and machines components, and processed flat-
rolled steel for a variety of industrial customers. The Company supplies steel blanks, stampings and modular assemblies and castings
primarily to North American automotive manufacturers and stampings to Tier I automotive suppliers. The Company also supplies
castings, blanks and stampings to manufacturers in the lawn and garden and heavy duty truck and trailer industries. Finally, the
Company processes flat-rolled steel for a number of primary steel producers.
The Company's largest customer is General Motors Company (“General Motors”). The Company has been working with
General Motors for more than 25 years supplying blanks, engineered welded blanks and highly engineered aluminum casting and
machined parts. The Company also does business with Chrysler Group LLC (“Chrysler”), and supplies Chrysler with engineered
welded blanks, blanks, and deep draw stampings. In addition, the Company also supplies complex stampings and modular assemblies
to Nissan USA ("Nissan") and select Tier 1 customers including Faurecia and Magna affiliated companies.
In fiscal 2013, General Motors and Chrysler accounted for approximately 20.9% and 15.6%, respectively of the Company's
revenues. No other individual customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's revenues in fiscal 2013. At October 31, 2013
and 2012, General Motors accounted for 20.0% and 23.4% of the Company's accounts receivable, respectively and Chrysler accounted
for 18.2% and 23.2% of the Company's accounts receivable, respectively.
Sales and Marketing

automotive customers. The sales and marketing organization is structured to efficiently service all of the Company's key customers and
directly market the Company's automotive and steel processing products and services. The sales force is organized to enable the
Company to target sales and marketing efforts at four distinct types of customers, which include OEM customers, Tier I suppliers and
steel consumers and producers.

The Company's engineering staff provides total program management, technical assistance and advanced product development
support to customers during the product development stage of new vehicle design.
Operations and Engineering
The Company operates twelve manufacturing facilities in the United States and one manufacturing facility in Mexico, along
with technical centers in Canton, Michigan and Valley City, Ohio that coordinate advanced product and process development and
applications with its customers and its manufacturing facilities. The Company's manufacturing facilities and technical centers are
strategically located close to its customers' engineering organizations and fabricating-assembly plants. Each facility of the Company is
focused on meeting the business strategy of the Company by optimizing its performance in quality, cost and delivery.
Raw Materials
The basic materials required for the Company's operations are hot-rolled, cold-rolled, coated steel and aluminum ingot. The
Company obtains steel from a number of primary steel producers and steel service centers. The majority of the steel is purchased
through customers' steel buying programs. Under these programs, the Company purchases steel at the steel price that its customers
negotiated with the steel suppliers. These suppliers include AK Steel, AreclorMittal, Severstal and U.S. Steel. Although the Company
takes ownership of the steel, the customers are responsible for all steel price fluctuations. Most of the steel owned by the Company is
purchased domestically. A portion of the steel processing products and services is provided to customers on a toll processing basis.
Under these arrangements, the Company charges a specified fee for operations performed without acquiring ownership of the steel and
being burdened with the attendant costs of ownership and risk of loss. Through centralized purchasing, the Company attempts to
purchase raw materials at the lowest competitive prices for the quantity purchased. The amount of steel available for processing is a
function of the production levels of primary steel producers.
For the Company's aluminum die casting business, the cost of aluminum is handled in one of two ways. The primary method
used by the Company is to secure quarterly aluminum purchase commitments based on customer releases and then pass the quarterly
price changes to those customers utilizing published metal indexes. The second method used by the Company is to adjust prices
monthly, based on a referenced metal index plus additional material cost spreads agreed to by the Company and its customers.
Competition
Competition for sales of steel blanks and engineered welded blanks is intense, coming from numerous companies, including
independent domestic and international suppliers, and from internal divisions of OEMs, as well as independent domestic and
international Tier I and Tier II suppliers, some of which have blanking facilities. Competitors for engineered welded blanks include
TWB Company, LLC, ArcelorMittal Tailored Blanks Americas, Delaco, and Worthington Specialty Processing. Competition for sales
of automotive stamping and assemblies is also intense. Primary competitors in North America for the engineered stamping and
assembly business are L&W Inc., Flex-n-Gate, Midway Products Group, Narmco Group and Van-Rob. The methods of competition
with these companies in blanks, engineered welded blanks and automotive stampings and assemblies are product quality, price,
delivery, location and engineering capabilities. Shiloh is the only supplier of engineered welded blanks that is not affiliated with a steel
company.
Competition for casting and machining is also brisk with major manufacturers like Nemak, Cosma Promatek (a Magna
Company), Auma Bocar, Gibbs Die Casting, Pace Industries, and Madison Kipp Die Casting competing for a growing number of
automotive projects. Shiloh is positioned very well as a leader in the Structural Casting and close-tolerance machining market much in
demand for the upcoming lightweight vehicle designs.
Employees
As of November 30, 2013, the Company had approximately 1,824 employees. A total of approximately 40 employees at one of
the Company's subsidiaries are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that is due to expire in November 2017.
Backlog
A significant portion of the Company's business pertains to automobile platforms for various model years. Orders against these
platforms are subject to releases by the customer and are not considered technically firm. Backlog, therefore, is not a meaningful
indicator of future performance.

Seasonality
The Company typically experiences decreased revenue and operating income during its first fiscal quarter of each year, usually
resulting from generally lower overall automobile production during November and December. The Company's revenues and
operating income in its third fiscal quarter can also be affected by the typically lower automobile production activities in June and July
due to manufacturers' plant shutdowns and new model changeovers of production lines.
Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to environmental laws and regulations concerning emissions to the air, discharges to waterways and
generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste and hazardous materials.
The Company is also subject to laws and regulations that can require the remediation of contamination that exists at current or
former facilities. In addition, the Company is subject to other federal and state laws and regulations regarding health and safety
matters. Each of the Company's production facilities has permits and licenses allowing and regulating air emissions and water
discharges. While the Company believes that at the present time its production facilities are in substantial compliance with
environmental laws and regulations, these laws and regulations are constantly evolving and it is impossible to predict whether
compliance with these laws and regulations may have a material adverse effect on the Company in the future.
ISO 14001 is a voluntary international standard issued in September 1996 by the International Organization for Standardization.
ISO 14001 identifies the elements of an Environmental Management System (“EMS”) necessary for an organization to effectively
manage its effect on the environment. The ultimate objective of the standard is to integrate the EMS with overall business management
processes and systems so that environmental considerations are a routine part of business decisions. All of the Company's facilities are
ISO 14001 certified. The Company has completed the certification process at each of its thirteen manufacturing facilities for the latest
and highest international quality standard for the automotive industry, ISO/TS 16949:2002. The Company believes this certification is
a market requirement for doing business in the automotive industry.
Segment and Geographic Information (Dollars in thousands)
The Company conducts its business and reports its information as one operating segment-Automotive Products. The Chief
Executive Officer of the Company has been identified as the chief operating decision maker because he has final authority over
performance assessment and resource allocation decisions. In determining that one operating segment is appropriate, the Company
considered the nature of the business activities, the existence of managers responsible for the operating activities and information
presented to the Board of Directors for its consideration and advice. Furthermore, the Company is a full service manufacturer of first
operation precision blanks, engineered welded blanks, complex stampings, modular assemblies, highly engineered aluminum die
casting and machined components and its patented ShilohCore™ acoustic laminate metal solution predominately for the automotive
and heavy truck markets. Customers and suppliers are substantially the same among operations, and all processes entail the acquisition
of steel and the processing of the steel for use in the automotive industry.
Revenues from the Company's foreign subsidiary in Mexico were $42,418 and $36,647 for fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively.
These revenues represent 6.1% of total revenues for fiscal 2013 and 6.3% of total revenues for fiscal year 2012. Long-lived assets
consist primarily of net property, plant and equipment. Long-lived assets of the Company's foreign subsidiary totaled $16,403 and
$14,302 at October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The consolidated long-lived assets of the Company totaled $225,174 and
$121,263 at October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
General
The Company provides lightweighting and noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) solutions to automotive, commercial
vehicle and other industrial markets through its imaginative thinking and advanced capabilities. Shiloh delivers these solutions through
the design, engineering and manufacturing of first operation precision blanks, engineered welded blanks, complex stampings, modular
assemblies, highly engineered aluminum die casting and machined components and its patented ShilohCore™ acoustic laminate metal
solution. In addition, Shiloh is a designer and engineer of precision tools and dies, welding and assembly equipment for use in its
blanking, welded blank, stamping and die casting operations and for sale to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and, as a Tier
II supplier, to Tier I automotive part manufacturers who in turn supply OEMs.
The products that the Company produces supply many models of vehicles manufactured by nearly all OEMs that produce
vehicles in North America. As a result, the Company’s revenues are heavily dependent upon the North American production of
automobiles and light trucks of both the traditional domestic manufacturers, such as General Motors, Chrysler and Ford, the Asian
OEMs (defined as Toyota, Honda, Renault/Nissan, Hyundai and Subaru) and BMW, Daimler, Tesla and Volkswagen. According to
industry statistics (published by IHS Automotive), production volumes for the years ended October 31, 2013 and October 31, 2012
were as follows:

Another significant factor affecting the Company’s revenues is the Company’s ability to successfully bid on and win the
production and supply of parts for models that will be newly introduced to the market by the OEMs. These new model introductions
typically go through a start of production phase with build levels that are higher than normal because the consumer supply network is
filled to ensure adequate supply to the market, resulting in an increase in the Company’s revenues for related parts at the beginning of
the cycle.
The Company operates 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 the Company to assess, redefine and improve operations, products, and manufacturing
capabilities to maintain and improve profitability. Management continues to develop and execute initiatives to meet challenges of the
industry and to achieve its strategy for sustainable global profitable growth.
Plant utilization levels are very important to profitability because of the capital-intensive nature of the Company’s
operations. At October 31, 2013, the Company’s facilities were operating at approximately 57.2% capacity, compared to 56.0%
capacity at October 31, 2012. The Company defines full capacity as 20 working hours per day and five days per week (i.e., 3-shift
operation). Utilization of capacity is dependent upon the releases against customer purchase orders that are used to establish
production schedules and manpower and equipment requirements for each month and quarterly period of the fiscal year.
The significant majority of the steel purchased by the Company’s stamping and engineered welded blank operations is
purchased through the customers’ resale steel programs. Under these programs, the customer negotiates the price for steel with the
steel suppliers. The Company pays for the steel based on these negotiated prices and passes on those costs to the customer. Although

the Company takes ownership of the steel, the customers are responsible for all steel price fluctuations under these programs. The
Company also purchases steel directly from domestic primary steel producers and steel service centers. Domestic steel pricing has
generally been flat over the most recent quarters based on open capacity with the steel producers with nominal increases in demand.
The Company blanks and processes steel for some of its customers on a toll processing basis. Under these arrangements, the Company
charges a tolling fee for the operations that it performs without acquiring ownership of the steel and

being burdened with the attendant costs of ownership and risk of loss. Toll processing operations result in lower revenues but higher
gross margins than operations where the Company takes ownership of the steel. Revenues from operations involving directly owned
steel include a component of raw material cost whereas toll processing revenues do not.
For the Company's aluminum die casting business, the cost of aluminum is handled in one of two ways. The primary method
used by the Company is to secure quarterly aluminum purchase commitments based on customer releases and then pass the quarterly
price changes to those customers utilizing published metal indexes. The second method used by the Company is to adjust prices
monthly, based on a referenced metal index plus additional material cost spreads agreed to by the Company and its customers.
Engineered scrap metal is a planned by-product of the Company’s processing operations and part of our quoted cost to each
customer. Net proceeds from the disposition of scrap metal contribute to gross margin by offsetting the increases in the cost of metal
and the attendant costs of quality and availability. Changes in the price of metal impact the Company’s results of operations because
raw material costs are by far the largest component of cost of sales in processing directly owned metal. The Company actively
manages its exposure to changes in the price of metal, and, in most instances, passes along the rising price of metal to its customers.

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 automotive industry,
which tends to be driven by macro-economic factors that impact consumer income and confidence levels, housing sales, gasoline
prices, automobile discount and incentive offers, and perceptions about global economic stability. The automotive industry remains
susceptible to these factors that effect consumer spending habits and could adversely impact consumer demand for vehicles.
The production of cars and light trucks for fiscal year 2014 in North America according to industry forecasts (published by
IHS Automotive in November 2013) is currently predicted to increase to approximately 16,850,000 units, which reflects an
improvement of 4.8% over fiscal year 2013’s vehicle production of approximately 16,086,000 units. The improved vehicle production
reflects an improvement in economic conditions and consumer demand in North America.
The Company continues its approach of monitoring closely the customer release volumes as the overall economic
environment in North America reflects improvement and there is evidence that the U.S. economy and its recovery is strengthening.
However, concerns over the U.S. government fiscal policy issues could impact levels of unemployment and consumer confidence that
could adversely impact consumer demand for vehicles.

Critical Accounting Policies
Preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated
financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual
results and the timing of the recognition of such amounts could differ from those estimates. The Company has identified the following
items as critical accounting policies and estimates utilized by management in the preparation of the Company’s preceding 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 the Company’s 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. The Company makes frequent comparisons of actual
experience and expected experience in order to mitigate the likelihood that material adjustments will be required.
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue both for sales from toll processing and sales of products made with
Company owned metal 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. The Company records 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.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on several factors.
In circumstances where the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific allowance
for doubtful accounts is recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably
believes will be collected. Additionally, a general allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical experience of write-
offs and the current financial condition of customers. The financial condition of the Company’s customers is dependent on, among
other things, the general economic environment, which may substantially change, thereby affecting the recoverability of amounts due
to the Company from its customers.
The Company carefully assesses its risk with each of its customers and considers compliance with terms and conditions,
aging of the customer accounts, intelligence learned through contact with customer representatives and its net account receivable /
account payable position with customers, if applicable, in establishing the allowance.
Inventory Reserves. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis.
Where appropriate, standard cost systems are used to determine cost and the standards are adjusted as necessary to ensure they
approximate actual costs. Estimates of lower of cost or market value of inventory are based upon current economic conditions,
historical sales quantities and patterns, and in some cases, the specific risk of loss on specifically identified inventories.
The Company values inventories on a regular basis to identify inventories on hand that may be obsolete or in excess of
current future projected market demand. For inventory deemed to be obsolete, the Company provides a reserve for the full value of the
inventory, net of estimated realizable value. Inventory that is in excess of current and projected use is reduced by an allowance to a
level that approximates future demand. Additional inventory reserves may be required if actual market conditions differ from
management’s expectations.
The Company continues to monitor purchases of inventory to insure that receipts coincide with shipments, thereby reducing
the economic risk of holding excessive levels of inventory that could result in long holding periods or in unsalable inventory leading to
losses in conversion.
Income Taxes. The Company utilizes the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Income tax expense
includes U.S. and international income taxes minus tax credits and other incentives that will reduce tax expense in the year they are
claimed. Deferred taxes are recognized at currently enacted tax rates for temporary differences between the financial accounting and
income tax basis of assets and liabilities and operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recorded to
reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company assesses both positive and
negative evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. Evidence typically assessed includes the operating results for
the most recent three-year period and, to a lesser extent because of inherent uncertainty, the expectations of future profitability,

available tax planning strategies, the time period over which the temporary differences will reverse and taxable income in prior
carryback years if carryback is permitted under the tax law. The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities also involves dealing with
uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain income

tax positions based on the Company’s estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be required. The Company
reports interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions as income taxes.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets. The Company has historically performed an annual impairment analysis of long-lived
assets. However, when significant events, which meet the definition of a “triggering event” in the context of assessing asset
impairments, occur within the industry or within the Company’s primary customer base, an interim impairment analysis is performed.
The analysis consists of reviewing the next five years outlook for sales, profitability, and cash flow for each of the Company’s
manufacturing plants and for the overall Company. The five-year outlook considers known sales opportunities for which purchase
orders exist, potential sale opportunities that are under development, third party forecasts of North American car builds (published by
IHS Automotive), and the potential sales that could result from new manufacturing process additions and lastly, strategic geographic
localities that are important to servicing the automotive industry. All of this data is collected as part of our annual planning process and
is updated with more current Company specific and industry data when an interim period impairment analysis is deemed necessary. In
concluding the impairment analysis, the Company incorporates a sensitivity analysis by probability weighting the achievement of the
forecasted cash flows by plant and achievements of cash flows that are 20% greater and less than the forecasted amounts.
The property, plant and equipment included in the analysis for each plant represents factory facilities devoted to the
Company’s manufacturing processes and the related equipment within each plant needed to perform and support those processes. The
property, plant and equipment of each plant form each plant’s asset group and typically certain key assets in the group form the
primary processes at that plant that generate revenue and cash flow for that facility. Certain key assets have a life of ten to twelve years
and the remainder of the assets in the asset group are shorter-lived assets that support the key processes. When the analysis indicates
that estimated future undiscounted cash flows of a plant are less than the net carrying value of the long-lived assets of such plant, to the
extent that the assets cannot be redeployed to another plant to generate positive cash flow, the Company will record an impairment
charge, reducing the net carrying value of the fixed assets (exclusive of land and buildings, the fair value of which would be assessed
through appraisals) to zero. Alternative courses of action to recover the carrying amount of the long-lived asset group are typically not
considered due to the limited-use nature of the equipment and the full utilization of their useful life. Therefore, the equipment is of
limited value in a used-equipment market. The depreciable lives of the Company’s fixed assets are generally consistent between years
unless the assets are devoted to the manufacture of a customized automotive part and the equipment has limited reapplication
opportunities. If the production of that part concludes earlier than expected, the asset life is shortened to fully amortize its remaining
value over the shortened production period.
The Company cannot predict the occurrence of future impairment-triggering events. Such events may include, but are not
limited to, significant industry or economic trends and strategic decisions made in response to changes in the economic and
competitive conditions impacting the Company’s business. Based on the current facts, the Company recorded an impairment charge
related to long-lived assets of $483 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 and $1,944 in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. See Note 3 to the
consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the impairment charges recorded in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012. The Company
continues to assess impairment to long-lived assets based on expected orders from the Company’s customers and current business
conditions.
The key assumptions related to the Company’s forecasted operating results could be adversely impacted by, among other
things, decreases in estimated North American car builds during the forecast period, the inability of the Company or its major
customers to maintain their respective forecasted market share positions, the inability of the Company to achieve the forecasted levels
of operating margins on parts produced, and a deterioration in property values associated with manufacturing facilities.
Intangible Assets. Intangible assets with definitive lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company
amortizes its acquired intangible assets with definitive lives on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 3 months to fifteen
years. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of the current intangible assets and their estimated
amortization expense. Amortization of trade names, trademarks, developed technologies, customer relationships and non-compete
agreements is included within selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.
Goodwill. Goodwill, which represents the excess cost over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired, was
approximately $6,768 as of October 31, 2013, or 2% of our total assets.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other," we assess goodwill
for impairment on an annual basis. Such assessment can be done on a qualitative or quantitative basis. To qualitatively assess the

SHLO 10.31.2013 10-K
12/23/13 4:53 PM
liklihood of goodwill being impaired, we consider the following factors at the reporting unit level: the excess of fair value over
carrying value as of the last impairment test, the length of time since the last fair value measurement, the carrying value, market and
industry metrics, actual performance compared to forecasted performance, and our current outlook on the business. If the

SHLO 10.31.2013 10-K
12/23/13 4:53 PM
qualitative assessment indicated it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, we will perform quantitative impairment testing at
the reporting unit level.
To quantitatively test goodwill for impairment, we estimate the fair value of a reporting unit and compare the fair value to the
carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, then a possible impairment of goodwill may exist and further evaluation is
required. Fair values are based on the cash flow projected in the reporting units' strategic plans and long-range planning forecasts,
discounted at a risk-adjusted rate of return. Revenue growth rates included in the plans are generally based on industry specific data
and known awarded business. The projected profit margins assumptions included in the plans are based in the current cost structure
and anticipated productivity improvements. If different assumptions were used in the plans, the related cash flows used in measuring
fair value could be different and impairment of goodwill might be required to be recorded.
Group Insurance and Workers’ Compensation Accruals. The Company is primarily self-insured for group insurance and
workers’ compensation claims and reviews these accruals on a monthly basis to adjust the balances as determined necessary. The
Company is fully insured for workers' compensation at one of its locations. For the self insured plans, the Company reviews historical
claims data and lag analysis as the primary indicators of the accruals.
Additionally, the Company reviews specific large insurance claims to determine whether there is a need for additional accrual
on a case-by-case basis. Changes in the claim lag periods and the specific occurrences could materially impact the required accrual
balance period-to-period. The Company carries excess insurance coverage for group insurance and workers’ compensation claims
exceeding a range of $160-170 and $100-500 per plan year, respectively, dependent upon the location where the claim is incurred. At
October 31, 2013 and 2012, the amount accrued for group insurance and workers’ compensation claims was $3,625 and $2,597,
respectively. The self-insurance reserves established are a result of safety statistics, changes in employment levels, number of open and
active workers’ compensation cases, and group insurance plan design features. The Company does not self-insure for any other types
of losses.
Share-Based Payments. The Company records compensation expense for the fair value of nonvested stock option awards and
restricted stock awards over the remaining vesting period. The Company has elected to use the simplified method to calculate the
expected term of the stock options outstanding at five to six years and has utilized historical weighted average volatility. The Company
determines 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 one to 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, the
Company has estimated a 20% forfeiture rate. If actual forfeitures materially differ from the estimate, the share-based compensation
expense could be materially different.
The restricted stock was valued based upon the closing date of the grant of the stock. In addition, the Company has estimated
a 0% forfeiture rate since the restricted stock was granted to the President and Chief Executive Officer.
Pension and Other Post-retirement Costs and Liabilities. The Company has recorded significant pension and other post-
retirement benefit liabilities that are developed from actuarial valuations. The determination of the Company’s 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. The Company
determines these assumptions in consultation with, and after input from, its 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. The Company uses the Principal Pension Discount Yield Curve ("Principal Curve") as the basis for determining the
discount rate for reporting pension and retiree medical liabilities. The Principal Curve has several advantages to other methods,
including: transparency of construction, lower statistical errors, and continuous forward rates for all years. At October 31, 2013, the
resulting discount rate from the use of the Principal Curve was 4.50%, an increase of 0.75% from a year earlier that resulted in a
decrease of the benefit obligation of approximately $4,470. A change of 25 basis points in the discount rate at October 31, 2013 would
increase or decrease expense on an annual basis by approximately $3.

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 $154.
The Company’s investment policy for assets of the plans is to maintain an allocation generally of 0% to 70% in equity
securities, 0% 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. The Company determines 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. The Company’s 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 twelve months ended October 31, 2013, the actual return on pension plans’ assets for all of the Company’s plans
approximated 16.66%, which is above 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, the Company anticipates that contributions to the
Company’s defined benefit plans will decrease in fiscal 2014, and that pension expense will decrease in fiscal 2014.

Results of Operations
Year Ended October 31, 2013 Compared to Year Ended October 31, 2012
REVENUES. Sales for fiscal 2013 were $700,186, an increase of $114,112 over fiscal 2012 of $586,074, or 19.5%. Of the
increased sales, approximately $39,730 came from an increase in the production volumes of the North American car and light truck
manufacturers along with the sales from new program awards launched during the fiscal year. According to industry statistics, North
American car and light truck production for fiscal 2013 increased by 5.3% from production levels of fiscal 2012. These volume
increases were partially offset by an approximately $2,620 reduction in sales of engineered scrap from reduced scrap prices and from a
reduction in engineered scrap volumes resulting from production design improvements reducing offal scrap. Sales from the strategic
acquisitions completed in fiscal 2013 increased sales by approximately $77,000 during fiscal 2013.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit for fiscal 2013 was $71,695 compared to gross profit of $50,735 in fiscal 2012, an increase of
$20,960, or 41.3%. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 10.2% for fiscal 2013 and 8.7% fiscal 2012. Gross profit in fiscal 2013
was favorably impacted by approximately $9,260 from the increased sales volume. Gross profit margin was affected by a favorable
change in sales mix net against an unfavorable impact realized from the sales of engineered scrap during fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal
2012, resulting in a net gross margin increase of approximatively $2,810. Manufacturing expenses increased by approximately $120
during fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. Personnel and personnel related expenses increased in proportion to the increased revenues
by approximately $5,600 as the Company's workforce was increased in anticipation of increased production volumes, planning for
future launches, and planning for further increases in North American vehicle production volumes. Included in the personnel related
expenses was an approximately $1,100 increase in pension expense for a settlement charge for lump sum pension distribution to
approximately 200 former employees during the fiscal year to remove future pension liability risk and reduce premium payments to
the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Expenses for repairs and maintenance and manufacturing supplies were reduced by
approximately $530 during fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. Expenses for depreciation and other fixed costs were reduced by
approximately $4,950 during fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. Gross profit was favorably impacted by approximately $9,010 from
the acquired businesses during fiscal 2013.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and administrative expenses of $37,073 for
fiscal 2013 were $9,554 more than selling, general and administrative expenses of $27,519 for the prior year. As a percentage of sales,
these expenses were 5.3% of sales for fiscal 2013 and 4.7% for fiscal 2012. The increase reflects our investment in additional
personnel and personnel related expenses of approximately $2,720, an increase of approximately $3,980 from investments in new
technology and increases in other administrative expenses. As a result of the acquisitions, selling, general and administrative expenses
increased by approximatley $2,860 , consisting of $920 from personnel and personnel related expenses, $1,350 from the amortization
of intangible assets acquired and $590 in other administrative expenses.
ASSET IMPAIRMENT AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES. Impairment charges, net of $18 were recorded during fiscal

cash received upon sales of assets from the Company's Liverpool Stamping facility, which was impaired in fiscal 2009.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $483 to reduce the real
property of the Company's Anniston facility to a fair value based on on independent assessment that considered recent sales of similar
properties, changes in market conditions and an income-based valuation approach.
Impairment recoveries, net of $834 were recorded during fiscal 2012. Impairment recoveries of $1,551 were recorded during
fiscal 2012 for cash received upon sales of assets from the Company's Mansfield Blanking facility, which was impaired in fiscal 2010.

charge of $392 to reduce the value of long lived assets to their estimated fair value. The fair value of machinery and equipment, as
determined using level 3 inputs, was zero as the items were worn equipment for which the Company had no further use and limited

$1,400 in cash.

In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company reduced a restructuring charge by $30 as a result of certain
employees not meeting the requirements for obtaining severance payments associated with the restructuring charge of $352 that the
Company recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2011, relating to a negotiated settlement with approximately 90 employees for
severance and health insurance related to the previously announced planned closure of the Company's plant in Mansfield, Ohio.
OTHER. Interest expense for fiscal 2013 was $2,600, compared to interest expense of $1,525 for fiscal 2012. The increase in
interest expense was the result of higher average borrowing of funds for funding the acquisition activities and the payment of a special
dividend, partially offset by an improvement in our credit spread and our borrowing rate. Borrowed funds averaged $82,005 during
fiscal 2013 and the weighted average interest rate was 2.06%. In fiscal 2012, borrowed funds averaged $27,622 while the weighted
average interest rate was 2.82%.
The Company realized a bargain purchase gain of $228 in fiscal 2013 on the Atlantic Tool & Die -Alabama acquisition.
Other expense, net was $89 for fiscal 2013 compared to a net expense of $48 for fiscal 2012. Other expense in both fiscal
2013 and 2012 is the result of currency transaction losses realized by the Company's Mexican subsidiary.
The provision for income taxes in fiscal 2013 was an expense of $10,605 on income before taxes of $32,175 for an effective
tax rate of 33.0%. In fiscal year 2012 the provision for income taxes was $8,981 on income before taxes of $22,507 for an effective tax
rate of 39.9%. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2013 has decreased 6.9% percentage points compared to fiscal 2012 primarily from the
Company's Mexican subsidiary generating profits during fiscal 2013 compared to a loss during fiscal year 2012, favorable revisions to
prior period estimated income tax calculations, a decrease in Shiloh's uncertain tax positions and a decrease in the valuation allowance
for foreign tax credits utilized in the United States compared to fiscal year 2012.
NET INCOME. The net income for fiscal 2013 was $21,570, or $1.27 per share, diluted compared to net income in fiscal
year 2012 of $13,526 or $0.80 per share, diluted.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On April 19, 2011, the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”)
with a syndicate of lenders led by The Privatebank and Trust Company, as co-lead arranger, sole book runner and administrative agent
and PNC Capital Markets, LLC as co-lead arranger and PNC Bank, National Association, as syndication agent. The Agreement
amends and restates in its entirety the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2008.
The Agreement has a five-year term and provides for an $80 million secured revolving line of credit which may be increased
up to $120 million 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 Company is permitted to prepay the borrowings under the revolving
credit facility without penalty.
The Agreement specifies that upon the occurrence of an event or condition deemed to have a material adverse effect on the
business or operations of the Company, as determined by the administrative agent of the lending syndicate or the required lenders, as
defined as 51% of the aggregate commitment under the Agreement, the outstanding borrowings become due and payable at the option
of the required lenders. The Company does not anticipate at this time any change in business conditions or operations that could be
deemed a material adverse effect by the lenders.
On January 31, 2012, the Company entered into a First Amendment Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to the Agreement.
The First Amendment continues the Company's revolving line of credit up to $80 million through April 2016 with a
modification to the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio to allow for payment of a special dividend declared on February 1,
2012 and other modifications to allow the Company to participate in certain customer-sponsored financing arrangements allowing for
early, discounted payment of Company invoices.
On December 26, 2012, the Company entered into a Second Amendment Agreement (the "Second Amendment") to the
Agreement.The Second Amendment extends the commitment period to December 25, 2017 and increases the Company's revolving
line of credit to $120 million, which may be increased to up to $200 million subject to the Company's pro forma compliance with
financial covenants, the administrative agent's approval and the Company obtaining commitments for such increase.
Borrowings under the Agreement, as amended, bear interest, at the Company's option, at LIBOR or the prime rate established
from time to time by the administrative agent, in each case plus an applicable margin. The Second Amendment reduces the interest
rate margin on LIBOR loans from 2.5% to 1.5% and maintains a 0% rate margin on base rate loans through March 31, 2013.
Thereafter, the interest rate margin on LIBOR loans will be 1.5% to 2.5% and on base rate loans will be 0% to 1.0%, depending on the
Company's leverage ratio.
The Second Amendment also amends the maximum leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The Second Amendment has
increased the permitted leverage ratio from 2.25 to 2.85 and specifies that the leverage ratio shall not exceed 2.85 to 1.00 to the
conclusion of the Agreement. Further, the Second Amendment reduces the fixed charge coverage ratio reducing it from 2.50 to 2.00
and specifies that the fixed charge coverage ratio shall not be less than 2.00 to 1.00 to the conclusion of the Agreement.
On June 4, 2013, the Company entered into a Third Amendment Agreement (the "Third Amendment") to the Agreement. The
Third Amendment increases the Company's revolving line of credit to $175 million, which may be increased to up to $255 million
subject to the Company's pro forma compliance with financial covenants, the administrative agent's approval and the Company
obtaining commitments for such increase.
On October 25, 2013, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A.,
as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J.P. Morgan
Securities, LLC as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers, The PrivateBank and Trust Company, Compass Bank and RBS
Citizens, N.A., as Co-Documentation Agents, and the other lender parties thereto. The Company's domestic subsidiaries have
guaranteed certain of the Company's obligations under the Agreement.
The Credit Agreement has a five-year term and provides for a $300 million secured revolving line of credit (which may be

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at LIBOR plus the applicable rate as referenced in the Credit
Agreement or at the option of the Company the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for
such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. as its prime rate or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%.
In addition to interest charges, the Company will pay in arrears a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.20% - 0.35% based on the
Company’s daily revolving exposure.
The Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive and financial covenants, including covenants regarding the Company’s
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. The Company was in compliance with the
financial covenants as of October 31, 2013.
Borrowings under the Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the tangible and
intangible property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of foreign subsidiaries.
After considering letters of credit of $2,441 that the Company has issued, available funds under the Credit Agreement were
$180,159 at October 31, 2013.
In July 2013, the Company entered into a finance agreement with an insurance broker for various insurance policies that
bears interest at a fixed rate of 2.15% and requires monthly payments of $68 through April 2014. As of October 31, 2013, $405
remained outstanding under this agreement and were classified as current debt in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
On September 2, 2013, the Company 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 October 31, 2013, $2,461 remained outstanding under this
agreement and $477 was classified as current debt and $1,984 was classified as long-term debt in the Company’s condensed
consolidated balance sheets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated entities or other persons.
New Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - "Reporting of Amounts
Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2012. The new accounting rules require all U.S. public companies to report the effect of items reclassified out of
accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items of net income, net of tax, either on the face of the financial
statements where net income is presented or in a tabular format in the notes to the financial statements. Effective February 1, 2013, the
Company adopted ASU No. 2013-02. The new accounting rules expand the disclosure of other comprehensive income and had no
impact on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
The new accounting standard, "Comprehensive Income", became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2011 which for the Company would be the first quarter ending January 31, 2013. This standard requires that other comprehensive
income be presented as either a separate statement, or as an addition to the statement of income and prohibits the presentation of other
comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders' equity. As the Company has historically presented other comprehensive
income as part of the statement of shareholders' equity, the Company retroactively restated its financial statements for this change
upon adoption of this accounting standard.
In May 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements with
GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). This guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure
requirements related to fair value measurements to ensure that fair value has the same meaning in GAAP and IFRS and that their
respective fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are the same. This amendment is effective for a reporting entity's
interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. We adopted the guidance of the fair value accounting standard as
required by this amendment, and it did not have a material impact on our disclosures, financial position or results of operations for the
year ended October 31, 2012.
Effect of Inflation, Deflation
Inflation generally affects the Company 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 the Company's financial results for
the past three years.
In periods of decreasing prices, deflation occurs and may also affect the Company's results of operations. With respect to
steel purchases, the Company's purchases of steel through customers' resale steel programs protects recovery of the cost of steel
through the selling price of the Company's products. For non-resale steel purchases, the Company coordinates the cost of steel
purchases with the related selling price of the product. For the Company's aluminum die casting business, the cost of aluminum is
handled in one of two ways. The primary method used by the Company is to secure quarterly aluminum purchase commitments based
on customer releases and then pass the quarterly price changes to those customers utilizing published metal indexes. The second
method used by the Company is to adjust prices monthly, based on a referenced metal index plus additional material cost spreads
agreed to by the Company and its customers.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Shiloh Industries, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Shiloh Industries, Inc. (a Delaware corporation)
and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of
income, other comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended. Our
audits of the basic consolidated financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index
appearing under Item 15 (a)(2). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were
we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Shiloh Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of October 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts in thousands, except per share data)
Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
General
Shiloh Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) provides lightweighting and noise, vibration and harshness
(NVH) solutions to automotive, commercial vehicle and other industrial markets through its imaginative thinking and advanced
capabilities. Shiloh delivers these solutions through the design, engineering and manufacturing of first operation precision blanks,
engineered welded blanks, complex stampings, modular assemblies, highly engineered aluminum die casting and machined
components and its patented ShilohCore™ acoustic laminate metal solution. In addition, Shiloh is a designer and engineer of precision
tools and dies, welding and assembly equipment for use in its blanking, welded blank, stamping and die casting operations and for sale
to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and, as a Tier II supplier, to Tier I automotive part manufacturers who in turn supply
OEMs.
The Company also builds modular assemblies, which include components used in the structural and powertrain systems of a
vehicle. Structural systems include bumper beams, door impact beams, steering column supports, chassis components and structural
underbody modules. Powertrain systems consist of deep draw components, such as oil pans, transmission pans and valve covers.
Additionally, the Company provides a variety of intermediate steel processing services, such as oiling, leveling, cutting-to-length,
multi-blanking, slitting, edge trimming of hot and cold-rolled steel coils and inventory control services for automotive and steel
industry customers. The Company has seventeen wholly-owned subsidiaries at locations in Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan,
Ohio, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Mexico.
MTD Holdings Inc (the parent of MTD Products Inc) and the MTD Products Inc Master Employee Benefit Trust, a trust fund
established and sponsored by MTD Products are owners of approximately 50% of the Company's outstanding shares of Common
Stock, making MTD a related party of the Company.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shiloh Industries, Inc. and all wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue both for sales from toll processing and sales of products made with Company owned metal
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. The Company records 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.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company evaluates the collectability of accounts receivable based on several factors. In circumstances where the
Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific allowance for doubtful accounts is
recorded against amounts due to reduce the net recognized receivable to the amount the Company reasonably believes will be
collected. Additionally, a general allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical experience of write-offs and the
current financial condition of customers. The financial condition of the Company’s customers is dependent on, among other things, the
general economic environment, which may substantially change, thereby affecting the recoverability of amounts due to the Company
from its customers.
The Company carefully assesses its risk with each of its customers and considers compliance with terms and conditions,
aging of the customer accounts, intelligence learned through contact with customer representatives and its net account receivable /

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company classifies all amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling as revenue and
the costs incurred by the Company for shipping and handling are classified as costs of sales.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or at fair market value for plant, property and equipment acquired through
acquisitions. Expenditures for maintenance, repairs and renewals are charged to expense as incurred, while major improvements are
capitalized. The cost of these improvements is depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives range from three to twelve
years for furniture and fixtures and machinery and equipment, or if the assets are dedicated to a customer program, over the estimated
life of that program, ten to twenty years for land improvements and twenty to forty years for buildings and their related improvements.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax
purposes. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts,
and any gain or loss on the disposition is included in the earnings for the current period.
Employee Benefit Plans
The Company accrues the cost of defined benefit pension plans, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 715 “Compensation - Retirement Benefits.” The plans
are funded based on the requirements and limitations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The majority of
employees of the Company also participate in discretionary profit sharing plans administered by the Company. The Company also
provides postretirement benefits to approximately 22 former employees.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records compensation expense for the fair value of nonvested stock option awards and restricted stock awards
over the remaining vesting period. The Company has elected to use the simplified method to calculate the expected term of the stock
options outstanding at five to six years and has utilized historical weighted average volatility. The Company determines 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 one to four years.
Income Taxes
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method in accounting for income taxes. Income tax expense includes U.S. and
international income taxes minus tax credits and other incentives that will reduce tax expense in the year they are claimed. Deferred
taxes are recognized at currently enacted tax rates for temporary differences between the financial accounting and income tax basis of
assets and liabilities and operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce net deferred tax
assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company assesses both positive and negative evidence when
measuring the need for a valuation allowance. Evidence typically assessed includes the operating results for the most recent three-year
period and, to a lesser extent because of inherent uncertainty, the expectations of future profitability, available tax planning strategies,
the time period over which the temporary differences will reverse and taxable income in prior carryback years if carryback is permitted
under the tax law. The calculation of the Company's tax liabilities also involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of
complex tax laws and regulations. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain income tax positions based on the Company's
estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be required. The Company reports interest and penalties related to
uncertain income tax positions as income taxes.
Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets and the related estimated remaining lives whenever events or

SHLO 10.31.2013 10-K
12/23/13 4:53 PM
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Events or changes in circumstances that could cause
an impairment include significant underperformance relative to the historical or projected future operating results, significant changes
in the manner of the use of the assets or the strategy for the overall business or significant negative industry or economic trends. The
Company records an impairment or change in useful life whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of long-lived assets may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
Goodwill. Goodwill, which represents the excess cost over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired, was
approximately $6,768 as of October 31, 2013, or 2% of our total assets.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other," we assess goodwill
for impairment on an annual basis. Such assessment can be done on a qualitative or quantitative basis. To qualitatively assess the
liklihood of goodwill being impaired, we consider the following factors at the reporting unit level: the excess of fair value over
carrying value as of the last impairment test, the length of time since the last fair value measurement, the carrying value, market and
industry metrics, actual performance compared to forecasted performance, and our current outlook on the business. If the qualitative
assessment indicated it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, we will perform quantitative impairment testing at the
reporting unit level.
To quantitatively test goodwill for impairment, we estimate the fair value of a reporting unit and compare the fair value to the
carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, then a possible impairment of goodwill may exist and further evaluation is
required. Fair values are based on the cash flow projected in the reporting units' strategic plans and long-range planning forecasts,
discounted at a risk-adjusted rate of return. Revenue growth rates included in the plans are generally based on industry specific data
and known awarded business. The projected profit margins assumptions included in the plans are based in the current cost structure
and anticipated productivity improvements. If different assumptions were used in the plans, the related cash flows used in measuring
fair value could be different and impairment of goodwill might be required to be recorded.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income is defined as net income (loss) and changes in stockholders' equity from non-owner sources which,
for the Company in the periods presented, consists of pension related liability adjustments.
Statement of Cash Flows Information
Cash and cash equivalents include checking accounts and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three
months or less.
Concentration of Risk
The Company sells products to customers primarily in the automotive and heavy truck industries. Financial instruments, which
potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, are primarily accounts receivable. The Company performs on-going
credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition. The allowance for non-collection of accounts receivable is based on the
expected collectability of all accounts receivable. Losses have historically been within management's expectations. The Company does
not have financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. Refer to Note 14-Business Segment Information for discussion of
concentration of revenues.
As of October 31, 2013, the Company had approximately 2,047 employees. A total of approximately 44 employees at one of
the Company's subsidiaries are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that is due to expire in November 2017.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables approximate fair value because of the
short maturity of those instruments. The carrying value of the Company's debt is considered to approximate the fair value of these
instruments based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company currently does not engage in derivatives trading, market-making or other speculative activities. The intent of
any contracts entered by the Company is to reduce exposure to currency movements affecting foreign currency purchase commitments.
The Company's risks related to foreign currency exchange risks have historically not been material. The Company does not expect the

effects of these risks to be material in the future based on current operating and economic conditions in the countries and markets in
which it operates. These contracts are marked-to-market and the resulting gain or loss is recorded in the consolidated statements of
income. As of October 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
Guarantees
The Company has certain indemnification clauses within its credit facility and certain lease agreements that are considered to
be guarantees within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 460, “Guarantees”. The Company does not consider these guarantees to be
probable and the Company cannot estimate the maximum exposure. Additionally, the Company's exposure to warranty-related
obligations is not material.
Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based upon current available
information. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Prior Year Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
Other New Accounting Standards
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - "Reporting of Amounts
Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after
December 15, 2012. The new accounting rules require all U.S. public companies to report the effect of items reclassified out of
accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items of net income, net of tax, either on the face of the financial
statements where net income is presented or in a tabular format in the notes to the financial statements. Effective February 1, 2013, the
Company adopted ASU No. 2013-02. The new accounting rules expand the disclosure of other comprehensive income and had no
impact on the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
The new accounting standard, "Comprehensive Income", became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2011 which for the Company was be the first quarter ended January 31, 2013. This standard requires that other comprehensive income
be presented as either a separate statement, or as an addition to the statement of income and prohibits the presentation of other
comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders' equity. As the Company has historically presented other comprehensive
income as part of the statement of stockholders' equity, the Company has retroactively restated its financial statements for this change
upon adoption of this accounting standard.
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU")
No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210) - "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities". This ASU requires companies to
disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position as
well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. This guidance is effective
retrospectively for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company has adopted this new guidance and
it did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements or its related disclosures.
Note 2-Acquisitions
Albany-Chicago Company LLC
On December 28, 2012, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into and consummated the transactions
contemplated by a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated December 28, 2012 (the "Purchase Agreement"), among the
subsidiary and all of the equity owners of Albany-Chicago Company LLC ("Pleasant Prairie"), a producer of aluminum die cast and
machined parts for the motor vehicle industry.
The Company acquired Pleasant Prairie in order to further our investment in light weighting technologies and expand the

The aggregate fair value of consideration transferred in connection with the Purchase Agreement was $56,390, including
$56,792 ($56,337 net of cash acquired) in cash on the date of acquisition. Of this amount, $3,000 in cash was placed into escrow, and
will serve as security for any indemnification claims made by the Company under the Purchase Agreement. Subsequent to the
acquisition date, $381 of working capital adjustments were paid during the second quarter to the seller, a reduction in purchase price of
$850 as a result of a settlement agreement on asset valuation for tax purposes occurred during the third quarter, which was taken out of
the escrow balance and a working capital adjustment of $67 paid to the seller during the third quarter.
The acquisition of Pleasant Prairie has been accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with the FASB
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 805, Business Combinations. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded
at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values of identifiable intangible assets were based on valuations using
the income approach and estimates provided by management. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the
tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price is
based upon a valuation of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The purchase price allocation was as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents
Accounts receivable
Inventory
Prepaid assets and other
Property, plant and equipment
Intangible assets
Other non-current assets
Goodwill

The Company utilized a third party to assist in the fair value determination of certain components of the purchase price
allocation, namely property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
The Company believes the amount of goodwill resulting from the purchase price allocation is attributable to the workforce of
the acquired business (which is not eligible for separate recognition as an identifiable intangible asset) and the synergies expected after
the Company's acquisition of Pleasant Prairie. All of the goodwill was allocated to the Company's Pleasant Prairie subsidiary. The total
amount of goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $14,291 and is estimated to be deductible over approximately 15
years.
Of the $16,056 of acquired intangible assets, $13,462 was assigned to customers that have a useful life of approximately 13
years, $1,850 was assigned to trade names with an estimated useful life of approximately 15 years, and $744 was assigned to non-
competition agreements with an estimated useful life of approximately 2 years. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible
assets acquired has been determined primarily by using the income approach, which discounts expected future cash flows to present
value using estimates and assumptions determined by management. The Company utilized a third party to assist in assigning a fair
value to acquired intangible assets. The total amount of identifiable intangible assets expected to be deductible for tax purposes is
$16,056 and is estimated to be deductible over approximately 15 years.

The weighted average interest rate of all debt was 2.06% and 2.82% for fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively.
On April 19, 2011, the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit and Security Agreement (the “Agreement”)
with a syndicate of lenders led by The Privatebank and Trust Company, as co-lead arranger, sole book runner and administrative agent
and PNC Capital Markets, LLC as co-lead arranger and PNC Bank, National Association, as syndication agent. The Agreement
amends and restates in its entirety the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2008.
The Agreement has a five-year term and provides for an $80 million secured revolving line of credit, which may be increased
up to $120 million subject to the Company’s pro forma compliance with certain financial covenants, the administrative agent’s
approval and the Company obtaining commitments for such increase. The Company is permitted to prepay the borrowings under the
revolving credit facility without penalty.
The Agreement specifies that upon the occurrence of an event or condition deemed to have a material adverse effect on the
business or operations of the Company, as determined by the administrative agent of the lending syndicate or the required lenders,
defined as 51% of the aggregate commitment under the Agreement, the outstanding borrowings become due and payable at the option
of the required lenders. The Company does not anticipate at this time any change in business conditions or operations that could be
deemed a material adverse effect by the lenders.
On January 31, 2012, the Company entered into a First Amendment Agreement (the “First Amendment”) amending the
Agreement.
The First Amendment continues the Company's revolving line of credit up to $80 million through April 2016 with a
modification to the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio to allow for payment of a special dividend declared on February 1,
2012 and other modifications to allow the Company to participate in certain customer-sponsored financing arrangements allowing for
early, discounted payment of Company invoices.
On December 26, 2012, the Company entered into a Second Amendment Agreement (the "Second Amendment") amending
the Agreement. The Second Amendment extends the commitment period to December 25, 2017 and increases the Company's
revolving line of credit to $120 million, which may be increased to up to $200 million subject to the Company's pro forma compliance
with certain financial covenants, the administrative agent's approval and the Company obtaining commitments for such increase.
Borrowings under the Agreement, as amended, bear interest, at the Company's option, at the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR") or the base (or “prime”) rate established from time to time by the administrative agent, in each case plus an applicable
margin. The Second Amendment reduces the interest rate margin on LIBOR loans from 2.5% to 1.5% and maintains a 0% rate margin
on base rate loans through March 31, 2013. Thereafter, the interest rate margin on LIBOR loans will be 1.5% to 2.5% and on base rate
loans will be 0% to 1.0%, depending on the Company's leverage ratio.
The Second Amendment also amends the maximum leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The Second Amendment has
increased the permitted leverage ratio from 2.25 to 2.85 and specifies that the leverage ratio shall not exceed 2.85 to 1.00 to the
conclusion of the Agreement. Further, the Second Amendment reduces the fixed charge coverage ratio from 2.50 to 2.00 and specifies

that the fixed charge coverage ratio shall not be less than 2.00 to 1.00 to the conclusion of the Agreement.

Agreement. The Third Amendment increases the Company's revolving line of credit to $175 million, which may be increased to

Securities, LLC as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Managers, The PrivateBank and Trust Company, Compass Bank and RBS
Citizens, N.A., as Co-Documentation Agents, and the other lender parties thereto. The Company's domestic subsidiaries have
guaranteed certain of the Company's obligations under the Agreement.
The Credit Agreement has a five-year term and provides for a $300 million secured revolving line of credit (which may be
increased up to an additional $100 million subject to the Company’s compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and pro forma
compliance with certain financial covenants, notice to the Administrative Agent and the Company obtaining commitments for such
increase). Funds borrowed from the Credit Agreement were used to payoff borrowed funds under the Third Amendment.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at LIBOR plus the applicable rate as referenced in the Credit
Agreement or at the option of the Company the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for
such day as publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. as its prime rate or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%.
In addition to interest charges, the Company will pay in arrears a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.20% - 0.35% based on the
Company’s daily revolving exposure.
The Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive and financial covenants, including covenants regarding the Company’s
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. The Company was in compliance with the
financial covenants as of October 31, 2013.
After considering letters of credit of $2,441 that the Company has issued, available funds under the Credit Agreement were
$180,159 at October 31, 2013.
Borrowings under the Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the tangible and
intangible property of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of foreign subsidiaries.
In July 2013, the Company entered into a finance agreement with an insurance broker for various insurance policies that

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
As part of a strategy to remove liability risk and reduce payments to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the Company
elected to allow lump sum distributions from the defined benefit pension plans, of which approximately 200 former employees elected
and received distributions during fiscal 2013, removing $2,271 in liability from the plan. The FASB requires a special accounting
charge for settling pension obligations in this manner. During fiscal year 2013, the Company incurred $1,102 in expense for this
settlement charge.
The Company expects to recognize in the consolidated statement of income the following amounts that will be amortized

established at October 31, 2012, while the assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations were established at October 31, 2013.
The Company uses the Principal Pension Discount Yield Curve ("Principal Curve") as the basis for determining the discount
rate for reporting pension and retiree medical liabilities. The Principal Curve has several advantages to other methods, including:
transparency of construction, lower statistical errors, and continuous forward rates for all years. At October 31, 2013 the discount rate
from the use of the Principal Curve was 4.50%, an increase of 0.75% from a year ago that resulted in a decrease of the benefit
obligation of approximately $4,470.
The Company determines 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. The Company's outside investment advisors and actuaries review the 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. The long-term expected rate of return on plan assets takes into account years with exceptional gains and years
with exceptional losses.

Assumed healthcare cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the healthcare plan. The Company's
trend rate was based on reduced health care claims experienced by a small and declining retiree population. A one-percentage point

The Company's investment policy for assets of the plans is to obtain a reasonable long-term return consistent with the level of
risk assumed. The Company also seeks to control the cost of funding the plans within prudent levels of risk through the investment of
plan assets and the Company seeks to provide diversification of assets in an effort to avoid the risk of large losses and to maximize the
return to the plans consistent with market and economic risk.

Fair Value
The plans' investments are reported at fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Fair value is the price that would be received by the plans for an asset or paid by the plans to transfer a liability (an exit price)
in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date in the plans' principal or most advantageous market for
the asset or liability. Fair value measurements are determined by maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of
unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The hierarchy places the highest priority on unadjusted quoted market prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and gives the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3
measurements). The three levels of inputs within the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the plans have the ability to access
as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities;
quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market
data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the plans' own assumptions about the assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
In some cases, a valuation technique used to measure fair value may include inputs from multiple levels of the fair value hierarchy.
The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy.
The following descriptions of the valuation methods and assumptions used by the plans to estimate the fair values of
investments apply to investments held directly by the plans.
Mutual funds: The fair values of mutual fund investments are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized
securities exchanges (level 1 inputs).
Pooled separate accounts: The fair values of participation units held in pooled separate accounts are based on their net asset
values, as reported by the managers of the pooled separate accounts as supported by the unit prices of actual purchase and sale
transactions occurring as of or close to the financial statement date (level 2 inputs). With the exception of the Principal U.S. Property
Separate Account, a fund sponsored by Principal Financial Group, investment and actuarial advisors of the Company, each of the
pooled separate accounts invests in multiple securities. With the exception of the Principal U.S. Property Separate Account, each
pooled separate account provides for daily redemptions by the plans with no advance notice requirements, and has redemption prices
that are determined by the fund's net asset value per unit. Due to illiquidity of the underlying assets of the Principal U.S. Property
Separate Account, which is an open-end, commingled real estate account and a separate account of Principal Life Insurance Company
(Principal), Principal has imposed a withdrawal limitation which delays the payment of withdrawal requests and provides for payment
of such requests on a pro rata basis as cash becomes available for distribution, as determined by Principal.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or
reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its 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.

In addition to the defined benefit plans described above, the Company maintains a number of defined contribution plans.
Under the terms of the plans, eligible employees may contribute a selected percentage of their base pay. The Company matches a
percentage of the employees' contributions up to a stated percentage, subject to statutory limitations. During fiscal 2007, the Company
began automatically enrolling new employees in the defined contribution plan as well as automatically increasing employee
contributions by 1% annually, unless the employee opts out of the enrollment or contribution increases. Additionally, the Company
increased the match of employee contributions to 100% of the first 3% of employee deferrals, and to contribute an additional 50% of
deferrals of 4-5% of employee contributions. The Company recorded an expense related to the matching program of $2,195 during
fiscal 2013, compared to an expense of $1,620 during fiscal 2012.
Note 12—Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income 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
stock options outstanding under the Company's Amended and Restated 1993 Key Employee Stock Incentive Plan are included in the
diluted earnings per share calculation to the extent they are dilutive. For the years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, approximately
225,000 and 337,000 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 per share:

Note 13—Stock Options and Incentive Compensation
For the Company, FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” affects the stock options that have been
granted and requires the Company to expense share-based payment (“SBP”) awards with compensation cost for SBP transactions
measured at fair value. The Company has elected to use the simplified method of calculating the expected term of the stock options
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 the Company’s historical experience.
1993 Key Employee Stock Incentive Plan
The Company maintains the Amended and Restated 1993 Key Employee Stock Incentive Program (as amended and restated
December 12, 2002 and December 10, 2009) (the “Incentive Plan”), which authorizes grants to officers and other key employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries of (i) stock options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options, (ii) nonqualified stock options
and (iii) restricted stock awards. An aggregate of 2,700,000 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, has
been reserved for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Plan. An individual’s award of stock options is limited to 500,000 shares in a five-
year period.
Non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options have been granted to date and all options have been granted at an
exercise price at least equal to market price at the date of grant. Options expire over a period not to exceed ten years from the date of
grant and vest ratably over a three year period. In December 2011, options to purchase 56,500 shares were awarded to several officers
and employees at an exercise price of $8.10 for stock options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options. No non-qualified
stock options have been awarded since December 2011.
In September 2012, 80,257 shares of restricted stock were granted to the newly appointed chief executive officer as part of
his compensation package.

For the fiscal years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded compensation expense related to the stock
options currently vesting, effectively reducing pretax income by $456 and $730, respectively. The impact on earnings per share for
each of the fiscal years ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 was a reduction of $0.02 per share basic and diluted. The total compensation
cost related to nonvested awards not yet recognized as of October 31, 2013 and 2012 is a total of $165 and $620, respectively, which
will be recognized over the next three fiscal years. The total compensation cost related to the restricted stock currently vesting is $282
and for the non-vesting restricted stock is $510.
The fair values of these options were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following weighted average assumptions used for grants awarded during fiscal year 2012:

Incentive Bonus Plans
The Company maintains a Management Incentive Plan ("MIP") to provide the Chief Executive Officer and certain eligible
employees ("participants") incentives for superior performance. The MIP is administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors and entitles the participants to be paid a cash bonus based upon varying percentages of their respective salaries, the
level of achievement of the corporate goals established by the Compensation Committee and specific individual goals as established by
the Chief Executive Officer (for employees other than the CEO). For fiscal years 2013 and 2012, the Compensation Committee
established goals for corporate office personnel based on the Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
("EBITDA") and return on invested capital ("ROIC"). For the remaining participants, 50% of the incentive depends upon meeting the
operating targets and metrics of the participant's operating unit and 50% is based upon attaining the corporate goals for the Company's
performance. For fiscal 2013, participants in the MIP are entitled to receive an aggregate of $3,293 under the MIP. For fiscal 2012,
participants in the MIP received an aggregate bonus of $3,176 under the MIP, which was paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-

of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective rate was $777 at October 31,
2013 and $820 at October 31, 2012. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as
part of income tax expense. The Company recognized $21 and $148 of expense in 2013 and 2012 for interest and penalties. The
Company had accrued $1,029 at October 31, 2013 and $1,008 at October 31, 2012, for the payment of interest and penalties.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. Tax
regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant
judgment to apply. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by
tax authorities for the years ending prior to October 31, 2011 and no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations for calendar
years ending prior to December 31, 2008. The Company does not anticipate that within the next 12 months the total unrecognized tax
benefits will significantly change due to the settlement of examinations and the expiration of statute of limitations.
In September 2013, the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations governing the income tax treatment of acquisitions,
dispositions, and repairs of tangible property. Taxpayers are required to follow the new regulations in taxable years beginning on or
after January 1, 2014. Management is currently assessing the impact of the regulations and does not expect they will have a material
impact on the Company's financial statements.
During October 2007, the Mexican Congress passed the Initiative to Amend the Tax Coordination Law and Income Tax Law.
Effective January 1, 2008, a flat tax supplements the regular income tax. In conjunction with this law change, a deferred tax asset for
Mexican tax credits in the amount of $1,037 was recorded as of October 31, 2008. While future projections for taxable income and
ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies have been considered in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, the
Company believes that it is more likely than not that the tax credits will not be realized. Therefore, a valuation allowance in the
amount of $1,037 was recorded in fiscal 2008. The comparable amount in fiscal 2013 and 2012 was $572 and $677, respectively.
A valuation allowance of $4,014 remains as of October 31, 2013 for deferred tax assets whose realization remains uncertain
at this time. The comparable amount of the valuation allowance at October 31, 2012 was $4,401. The net decrease in the valuation
allowance of $387 relates to an increase of $26 for the future utilization of foreign tax credits in the United States, a decrease of $104
for flat tax credits associated with foreign jurisdictions, a decrease of $424 related to other foreign deferred tax assets and an increase
of $115 related to state and local operating loss carryforwards.
The Company assesses both negative and positive evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. A valuation
allowance has been established by the Company due to the uncertainty of realizing certain loss carryforwards and tax credits in Mexico
and loss carryforwards in various state and local jurisdictions in the United States. The Company believes the remaining deferred tax
assets will be realizable based on future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences that would generate ordinary income in the
U.S. and available tax planning strategies that would be implemented to recognize the deferred tax assets. The Company intends to
maintain the valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets until such time that sufficient positive evidence exists to support
realization of the deferred tax assets. In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets
in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would increase income in the period such
determination was made. Likewise, should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all or part of its net deferred tax
assets in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged to income in the period such determination was made.

At October 31, 2013, the Company had foreign operating loss carryforward benefits of approximately $1,153 with a valuation
allowance to the extent of their net deferred tax assets, which will expire between 2017 and 2019. At October 31, 2012, the Company
had foreign operating loss carryforward benefits of approximately $2,032 with a valuation allowance to the extent of their net deferred
tax assets. The Company has various state and local net operating loss and tax credit carryforward benefits. As of October 31, 2013
and 2012, the Company had state and local net operating loss carryforward benefits of $985 and $870, respectively with a full
valuation allowance, which will expire between 2014 and 2033.
The Company paid income taxes, net of refunds, of $7,111 and $6,306 in 2013 and 2012, respectively. U.S. income taxes and
foreign withholding taxes are not provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because it is expected such earnings will
be permanently reinvested in the operations of such subsidiaries. It is not practical to determine the amount of income tax liability that
would result had such earnings been repatriated. As of October 31, 2013, there was $849 of undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings.
Note 15—Related Party Transactions
The Company had sales to MTD Products Inc and its affiliates of $7,645 and $6,590 for fiscal years 2013 and 2012,
respectively. At October 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had receivable balances of $673 and $536, respectively, due from MTD
Products Inc and its affiliates, and no amounts were due to MTD Products Inc, at those dates.
Note 16—Business Segment Information
The Company conducts its business and reports its information as one operating segment-Automotive Products. The Chief
Executive Officer of the Company has been identified as the chief operating decision maker because he has final authority over
performance assessment and resource allocation decisions. In determining that one operating segment is appropriate, the Company
considered the nature of the business activities, the existence of managers responsible for the operating activities and information
presented to the Board of Directors for its consideration and advice. Furthermore, the Company is a full service manufacturer of first

In preparing the Company's financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, management has made assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Not considering the
asset impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company refined its estimates and assumptions for several
asset and liability accounts. As a result, the Company recorded net favorable adjustments of $307 in the fourth quarter of 2013 and
unfavorable adjustments of $80 in the fourth quarter of 2012, both net of tax. For fiscal 2013 and 2012, these adjustments were normal
recurring adjustments of accrued estimates and adjustments related to sales discounts, inventory valuation, and contingencies.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange
Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules
and regulations. As of October 31, 2013, an evaluation was performed under the supervision, and with the participation, of the
Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During fiscal 2013, the following occurred:
On December 28, 2012, the Company acquired the business and related assets of Albany-Chicago Company, LLC and on
December 13, 2012, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Atlantic Tool & Die - Alabama, Inc., both of which
operated under their own set of systems and internal controls. The business and related assets of the Atlantic Tool & Die - Alabama
acquisition have been integrated into the Pendergrass facility and incorporated into its existing control environment. The Company is
substantially complete with the incorporation of the acquired operations of Albany-Chicago, LLC as they relate to internal controls,
into its control environment.
On August 2, 2013, the Company acquired the business and related assets of Contech Castings, LLC, which operated under
its own set of systems and internal controls. The Company is maintaining those systems and much of the internal control environment
until such time that it is able to incorporate the acquired processes into the Company's own control environment. The Company
expects to be substantially complete with the incorporation of the acquired operations, as they relate to systems and internal controls,
into its control environment during fiscal 2014.
There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during fiscal 2013 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of Shiloh Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
The internal control system of the Company was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and Board
of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems
determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the PEO and PFO, the Company
assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2013. In making this
assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission
(COSO) in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework.” Based on the evaluation of internal control over financial reporting
management has concluded that the Company's internal controls over financial reporting were effective at the reasonable assurance
level as of October 31, 2013.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm
