Second Quarter 2015 Financial Review
Sales revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 increased to $280.4 million, a 34.2 percent improvement compared with second quarter of fiscal 2014. Acceptance of our leading technologies and the recent strategic acquisitions completed in fiscal 2014 have contributed to the increase in sales revenue of $71.4 million.

Gross profit improved $8.3 million to $29.3 million, a 39.3 percent improvement compared with $21.0 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, and a 42.4 percent sequential improvement from $20.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Gross profit as a percent of sales was 10.4 percent, an increase of 40 basis points compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and represented the highest level in six quarters. The gross profit improvement was driven by several new product launches, the return of full production by Ford of their new F150 in March, successful productivity initiatives and increased sales revenue through acquisition.

Selling, general and administrative costs were $16.9 million, or 6.0 percent of sales revenue compared with $10.7 million, or 5.1 percent of sales revenue in the prior year. The year-over-year increase is the result of our investment to build an infrastructure to support Europe and Asia as well as expand the R&D and sales force functions.

Net income for the quarter was $7.2 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared with $0.35 per diluted share in the prior year quarter excluding a $0.12 benefit from one-time asset sales. The second quarter of 2015 was up $0.21 per diluted share compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The quarter to quarter improvement was due in part to successful new product launches, operational efficiencies and continued integration of acquisitions.

Recent Events
On April 20, we announced a joint venture agreement with Suzhou Sanji Foundry Equipment Co., Ltd. The new entity will manufacture Shiloh's CastLight family of products in Nantong, China, utilizing high pressure die casting and squeeze casting expertise as well as expand the Company's footprint to better support its global customers.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes a non-GAAP financial measure of net income per diluted share excluding one-time asset sales. We use this measure as a supplement to information provided in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in evaluating our business and it is included in this press release because it is a factor upon which our management assesses performance. Reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is set forth below. The non-GAAP measure presented above is not a measure of performance under GAAP. This measure should not be considered as an alternative for the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Other companies in our industry may define this non-GAAP measure differently than we do and, as a result, this non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure used by other companies in our industry; and certain of our non-GAAP financial measures exclude financial information that some may consider important in evaluating our performance. Given the inherent uncertainty regarding special items and other expense in any future period, a reconciliation of forward-looking financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP is not feasible.
