Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    General: We are a global innovative solutions provider focusing on lightweighting technologies that provides environmental and safety benefits to the mobility market. Our multi-component, multi-material solutions are comprised of a variety of alloys in aluminum, magnesium and steel grades, along with its proprietary line of noise and vibration reducing ShilohCore® acoustic laminate products. The strategic BlankLight®, CastLight® and StampLight® brands combine to maximize lightweighting solutions without compromising safety or performance. Shiloh delivers these solutions in body structure, chassis and propulsion systems to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and several "Tier 1" suppliers to the OEMs in the automotive and commercial vehicle markets.
The Company has thirty-five wholly-owned subsidiaries at locations in Asia, Europe and North America as of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.
Oak Tree Holdings (the parent of MTD Products Inc.) and affiliates owned 31% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock as of October 31, 2019, making Oak Tree Holdings and MTD Products Inc. related parties of the Company.
    Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Shiloh Industries, Inc. and all wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process of the financial statements.
    Revenue Recognition: We enter into contracts with our customers to provide production parts generally at the beginning of a vehicle’s life cycle. Typically, these contracts do not provide for a specified quantity of products, but once entered into, we are often expected to fulfill our customers’ purchasing requirements for the production life of the vehicle. Many of these contracts may be terminated by our customers at any time. Historically, terminations of these contracts have been minimal. We receive purchase orders from our customers, which provide the commercial terms for a particular production part, including price (but not quantities). Contracts may also provide for annual price reductions over the production life of the vehicle, and prices may be adjusted on an ongoing basis to reflect changes in product content/cost and other commercial factors.

Revenue is recognized at a point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer under standard commercial terms, as we do not have an enforceable right to payment prior to such transfer. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products based on the annual purchase orders and annual price reductions. Our customers pay for products received in accordance with payment terms that are customary within the industry. Our contracts with our customers do not have significant financing components. Amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling costs are included in net sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Also see “Note 3 - Revenue” for further information.

Shipping and Handling Activities: Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after parts have transferred to a customer, are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of sales.

Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, using the first-in first-out ("FIFO") method.
    
Pre-production and Development Costs: We enter into contractual agreements with certain customers for tooling. All such tooling contracts relate to parts that we will supply to customers under supply agreements. Tooling costs are capitalized in other current assets as tooling contracts are separate from standard production contracts. At October 31, 2019 and 2018, tooling costs of $6,747 and $5,510, respectively, were included in other current assets.

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 costs of these improvements are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Useful lives range from three to ten 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 years for land improvements and twenty 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.
 
Income Taxes: We utilize 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 carry-forwards. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. We assess 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 the expectations of future profitability, available tax planning strategies, the time period over which the temporary differences will reverse and taxable income in prior carry-back years if carry-back is permitted under the tax law. The calculation of our tax liabilities also involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations. We recognize liabilities for uncertain income tax positions based on the Company’s estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be required. We report interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions as income taxes. Tax provision or benefits from other comprehensive income activities reflect the statutory rate of such activities.

Business Combinations: We account for business combinations using the acquisition method, which requires the identification of the acquirer, the determination of the acquisition date and the allocation of the purchase price paid by the acquirer to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, including any contingent consideration on the acquisition date at fair value. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Acquisition-related costs are expensed in the periods in which the costs are incurred. The results of operations of acquired businesses are included in our consolidated financial statements from the acquisition date.

Intangible Assets: Intangible assets with definitive lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. We amortize our acquired intangible assets with definitive lives on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three months to fifteen years. See note 8 - "Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net" for a description of the current intangible assets and their estimated amortization expense.

An impairment analysis of definite-lived intangible assets is performed when indicators of potential impairment exists.

Goodwill: Goodwill is the excess of cost of an acquired entity over the amounts assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Goodwill relates to and is assigned directly to specific reporting units. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to impairment assessment. In accordance with ASC 350, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other," we assess goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently, if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below the carrying amount. Our annual impairment assessment is performed as of September 30. Such assessment can be done on a qualitative or quantitative basis. When conducting a qualitative assessment, we consider relevant events and circumstances that affect the fair value or carrying amount of the reporting unit. A quantitative assessment is required only if we conclude that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, or we elect not to perform a qualitative assessment of a reporting unit. We consider the extent to which each of the events and circumstances identified affect the comparison of the reporting unit's fair value or the carrying amount. Such events and circumstances could include macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, entity and reporting unit specific events, product brand level specific events and cost factors. We place more weight on the events and circumstances that may affect the determination of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These factors are all considered by management in reaching its conclusion about whether to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment.

We perform a quantitative annual goodwill impairment assessment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill in that reporting unit.
Share-based Payments: We record compensation expense for the fair value of nonvested stock option awards and restricted stock awards over the remaining vesting period. We have elected to use the simplified method and utilize the historical weighted average volatility to calculate the expected term of the stock options outstanding. Any outstanding option will not be exercisable more than ten years from the date of grant. We determine the volatility and risk-free rate assumptions used in computing the fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, in consultation with an outside third party. The expected term for a restricted stock award is between one and three years.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock-based award and stock price volatility. The assumptions used are management’s best estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if other assumptions had been used, the recorded stock-based compensation expense could have been materially different from that depicted in the financial statements. In addition, we do not estimate a forfeiture rate at the time of grant instead we elected to recognize share-based compensation expense as forfeitures occur.

New restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants are valued at the closing market price on the date of grant. In addition, we do not estimate a forfeiture rate at the time of grant, instead, we elected to recognize share-based compensation expense as forfeitures occur.

Employee Benefit Plans:     We accrue the cost of U.S. defined benefit pension plans, which are frozen, in accordance with Statement of FASB 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. As of October 31, 2019, 98% of our U.S. employees participated in discretionary profit sharing plans administered by us. We also provide post-retirement medical benefits to 12 former employees.

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.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash in foreign subsidiaries totaled $13,101 and $16,107 at October 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018, respectively.
Concentration of Risk: We sell products to customers primarily in the automotive and commercial vehicle markets. Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk, are primarily accounts receivable. We perform on-going credit evaluations of our customers' financial condition. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on the expected collectability of all accounts receivable. Losses have historically been within management's expectations. We do not have financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. See note 19- "Business Segment Information" for a breakdown of concentration of revenues.

We believe that the concentration of credit risk in our trade receivables is substantially mitigated by our ongoing credit evaluation process and relatively short collection terms. We do not generally require collateral from customers. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
    
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 our debt and derivative instruments are considered to approximate the fair value of these instruments based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for loans with similar terms and maturities.

Derivative Financial Instruments: We use interest rate swaps to manage volatility of underlying exposures. We recognize all of our derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated, and is effective, as a hedge and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. Gains and losses related to a hedge are either recognized in income immediately to offset the gain or loss on the hedged item or are deferred and reported as a component of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. The gain or loss related to financial instruments that are not designated as hedges are recognized immediately in earnings. Cash flows related to hedging activities are included in the operating section of the consolidated statements of cash flows. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Our objective for holding derivatives is to minimize risk using the most effective and cost-efficient methods available.

Foreign Currency Translation: Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar as a substantial part of our operations are based in the U.S. The financial statements of all subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar have been translated into U.S. Dollars. The translation from the applicable foreign currencies to U.S. dollars is performed for balance sheet accounts using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expense accounts are translated from the applicable foreign currency using a weighted average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) ("OCI"). We engage in foreign currency denominated transactions with customers and suppliers, as well as between subsidiaries with different functional currencies. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized in net income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations. Non-functional currency denominated intercompany balances which are long-term in nature are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Guarantees: We have certain indemnification clauses within our Credit Agreement (as defined above) and certain lease agreements that are considered to be guarantees within the scope of ASC 460, "Guarantees." We do not consider these guarantees to be probable, and we cannot estimate their maximum exposure. Additionally, our exposure to warranty-related obligations is not material.
Accounting Estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These principles require 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. Also, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses are affected 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 Reclassifications:
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company reclassified the category for payments in the liability rollforward table contained in Note 18 "Restructuring Charges" to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8 of this report. There was no impact on our financial position or results of operations.

ASU 2018-14 Compensation-Retirements Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans
This Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") amendment adds the following to disclosure requirements: (1) The weighted-average interest crediting rates used in the entity’s cash balance pension plans and other similar plans; (2) A narrative description of the reasons for significant gains and losses affecting the benefit obligation for the period; (3) An explanation of any other significant changes in the benefit obligation or plan assets that are not otherwise apparent in the other disclosures required by Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 715, Compensation-Retirement Benefits. Also, this amendment clarifies the guidance in ASC 715-20-50-3 on defined benefit plans to require disclosure of (1) the projected benefit obligation (PBO) and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with PBOs in excess of plan assets (the same disclosure with reference to the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation rather than the PBO is required for other postretirement benefit plans) and (2) the accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) and fair value of plan assets for pension plans with ABOs in excess of plan assets.

ASU 2016-13 Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
The amendments change the impairment model for financial assets measured at amortized cost and available for sale equity securities. This new model will apply to instruments such as loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, loan commitments (including lines of credit), financial guarantees accounted for under ASC 460, net investments in leases, reinsurance and trade receivables. This model will result in an earlier recognition of allowances for losses through the establishment of an allowance account. The estimate of expected credit losses should consider historical and current information, and the reasonable and supportable forecasts of future events and circumstances, as well as estimates of prepayments.
November 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted.
We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on our financial statements.
ASU 2018-15 Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software
The amendments apply to the accounting for implementation, setup and other upfront costs (collectively referred to as implementation costs) for entities that are a customer in a hosting arrangement and align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). Also, the amendments require customers to expense capitalized implementation costs over the term of the hosting arrangement and in the same line on the income statement as the fees associated with the hosting service and payments for the capitalized implementation costs in the statement of cash flows in the same manner as payments made for fees associated with the hosting service.
November 1, 2020 with early adoption permitted.
We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on our financial statements.

ASU 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement
The amendments contained within this ASU eliminate the need to explain transfers between Level 1 and 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Additionally, the ASC expands on disclosure and accounting requirements for Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
November 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted.
We do not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, as the Company does not have any level 3 fair value measurements.

ASU 2018-16 Derivatives and Hedging
This new amendment adds the Overnight Index Swap rate (OIS) based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as a U.S. benchmark interest rate to facilitate the LIBOR to SOFR transition and provide sufficient lead time for entities to prepare for changes to interest rate risk hedging strategies for both risk management and hedge accounting purposes.

ASU 2016-02 Leases

This amendment requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet and aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition for capital and operating leases existing at or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, but it does not require transition accounting for leases that expire prior to the date of initial adoption. In January 2018, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC Topic 842 which permits companies to elect an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate existing land easements under the new standard if the land easements were not previously accounted for under existing lease guidance. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, which clarifies certain areas within ASU 2016-02. ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. This amendment provides entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt the new leases standard. Under this new transition method, an entity initially applies the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognizes a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption.

November 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted.
See below(1)


(1)We substantially completed our assessment of the impacts of the new lease standard during the fourth quarter. We have determined that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will result in recognizing right of use assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet for leases currently classified as operating leases. We expect to utilize the following practical expedients:
to retrospectively record the right of use assets and lease liabilities as of November 1, 2019 with any cumulative effect of the initial application recorded to retained earnings;
package of practical expedients to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases;
to use hindsight in determining the lease term (that is, when considering lessee options to extend or terminate the lease and to purchase the underlying asset) and in assessing impairment of the Company’s right-of-use assets;
to exclude short-term leases from the balance sheet; and
to not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840 are, or contain, a lease.
We expect that the disclosures in the notes to our consolidated financial statements related to leases will be expanded under the new standard, specifically:
general disclosures about the Company’s leases, the significant judgments made in applying the requirements in this standard to those leases, and the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements relating to those leases;
requiring a general description of the leases, the existence and terms and conditions of options to extend or terminate the lease including narrative disclosure about the options that are recognized as part of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and those that are not, information about leases that have not yet commenced but that create significant rights and obligations for the Company, significant assumptions and judgments made in determining whether a contract contains a lease, the allocation of the consideration in a contract between lease and non-lease components and the determination of discount rates for leases;
requiring the disclosure for each period presented in the consolidated financial statements relating to the Company’s total lease cost, which includes both amounts recognized in profit or loss during the period and any amounts capitalized as part of the cost of another asset and the cash flows arising from lease transactions for finance leasing cost, segregated between the amortization of the right-of-use assets and interest on the lease liabilities; operating lease costs; and short-term lease costs; amounts segregated between those for finance and operating leases for cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities, segregated between operating and financing cash flows, supplemental non-cash information on lease liabilities arising from obtaining right-of-use assets, the weighted-average remaining lease term and the weighted-average discount rate;
requires a maturity analysis of the Company’s finance lease and operating lease liabilities, separately, showing the undiscounted cash flows on an annual basis for each of the first five years and a total amount for the remaining years; and
requires the Company to disclose the fact that it elected to exclude short term leases from the balance sheet and disclose the amount of short term lease commitments if the lease expense for the period does not reasonably reflect the entity’s short term lease commitments.
It is expected that certain other provisions of ASC 842 not mentioned above will not significantly impact the Company.
We will adopt ASU 2016-02 as of November 1, 2019 using the current-period adjustment approach. As a result, in the first quarter of 2020, we expect to record right of use assets and liabilities for operating leases ranging from $65,000 to $70,000 and for financing lease(s) of approximately $2,000
We are unable to precisely quantify the impact to expenses for future periods since expenses recognized in those periods will depend on the actual leasing levels in those periods, but we do not expect those expenses from recognizing right of use assets and lease liabilities to change significantly.

ASU 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The amendments require companies to recognize revenue when there is a transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The amendments should be applied on either a full or modified retrospective basis, which clarifies existing accounting literature relating to how and when a company recognizes revenue. The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), through the issuance of ASU No. 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers," approved a one year delay of the effective date and permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. During fiscal 2016, the FASB issued ASUs 2016-10, 2016-11 and 2016-12. Finally, ASU 2016-20 makes minor corrections or minor improvements to the ASC that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities.

ASU 2016-01 Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
This amendment addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Most prominent among the amendments is the requirement for changes in the fair value calculation of the Company's equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be recognized through net income rather than other comprehensive income ("OCI").
