NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Shiloh Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) is unable to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended July 31, 2015 (the “Quarterly Report”) because of an ongoing internal investigation into the accounting for certain costs at the Company’s facility in Wellington, Ohio.

During the third quarter of the Company’s 2015 fiscal year, as part of a newly implemented enhanced balance sheet review process encompassing all of the Company’s 21 manufacturing facilities, management encountered preliminary indications of a potential issue with respect to the accounting for inventoried costs and promptly notified the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) and the Company’s external auditor. After receiving this information from management, the Audit Committee commenced a formal investigation to assess the nature and extent of any misstatements, and their potential effect on previously issued financial statements and management’s internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee retained independent third-party advisors to assist with this investigation. Although this investigation is ongoing and no final determination has been made as of the date hereof, based on its investigation to date, (i) the Company believes that the majority of this issue is associated with a surcharge assessed on steel at the Company’s facility in Wellington, Ohio, and (ii) the Company expects that the aggregate impact on Company’s net income will be in the range of $2.2 million to $2.5 million.

Due to the ongoing investigation described above, the Company is unable to file the Quarterly Report by the prescribed September 9, 2015 deadline without undue effort and expense. The Company is working toward filing the Quarterly Report as soon as practicable.

Certain statements made by the Company in this Late Filing on Form 12b-25 regarding the Company’s operating performance, events or developments that the Company believes or expects to occur in the future, are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements are made on the basis of management’s assumptions and expectations. As a result, there can be no guarantee or assurance that these assumptions and expectations will in fact occur. The forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to materially differ from those contained in the statements. Some, but not all, of the risks include the outcome of the Company’s investigation of accounting for certain costs at the Company’s Wellington facility; the impact on historical financial statements as a result of the investigation described above; the Company’s ability to file reports or financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a timely basis or at all; the ability of the Company to accomplish its strategic objectives; the ability to obtain future sales; changes in worldwide economic and political conditions, including adverse effects from terrorism or related hostilities; costs related to legal and administrative matters; the Company’s ability to realize cost savings expected to offset price concessions; the Company’s ability to successfully integrate acquired businesses, including businesses located outside of the United States; risks associated with doing business internationally, including economic, political and social instability, foreign currency exposure and the lack of acceptance of our products; inefficiencies related to production and product launches that are greater than anticipated; changes in technology and technological risks; increased fuel and utility costs; work stoppages and strikes at the Company’s facilities and that of the Company’s customers or suppliers; the Company’s dependence on the automotive and heavy truck industries, which are highly cyclical; the dependence of the automotive industry on consumer spending, which is subject to the impact of domestic and international economic conditions, including increased energy costs affecting car and light truck production, and regulations and policies regarding international trade; financial and business downturns of the Company’s customers or vendors, including any production cutbacks or bankruptcies; increases in the price of, or limitations on the availability of, steel, aluminum or magnesium, the Company’s primary raw materials, or decreases in the price of scrap steel; the successful launch and consumer acceptance of new vehicles for which the Company supplies parts; the occurrence of any event or condition that may be deemed a material adverse effect under the Company’s outstanding indebtedness or a decrease in customer demand which could cause a covenant default under the Company’s outstanding indebtedness; pension plan funding requirements; and other factors, uncertainties, challenges and risks detailed in the Company’s other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any or all of these risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.
