NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollar amounts and number of shares in thousands except per share data)









Note 1—Basis of Presentation, Impact of COVID-19 and Going Concern


The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared for Shiloh Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Company," "Shiloh Industries," "us," "our" or "we"), without audit, and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The information furnished in the condensed consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018.

2019. Revenues and operating results for the three and nine months ended July 31, 20192020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Impact of Covid-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has spread throughout the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, it characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic.”  The Company’s manufacturing operations were initially impacted at the beginning of our second quarter by COVID-19 in Asia and the last half of the quarter in Europe and North America. The impact of COVID-19 developments and uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets and is having a widespread adverse effect on the automotive industry, including reductions in consumer demand and OEM automotive production. As a result, COVID-19 has impacted the Company's business globally. Many OEMs suspended manufacturing operations, particularly in North America, Europe and Asia, on a temporary basis due to market conditions and matters associated with COVID-19.

Our operations in China were closed for all of February and part of March 2020. In July 2020, we are operating at levels near full capacity in China. Our operations in North America and Europe, for the most part, closed down during March and April 2020. Beginning near the end of May and the beginning of June, our operations in Europe and North America, respectively, began fulfilling and shipping orders to our customers. Due to the safety protocols established, we have been able to restart production, although we have experienced normal start-up operational issues in some of our plants related to being shut down for an extended period of time.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which presumes that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due. As of July 31, 2020, the Company has significant indebtedness due within the next twelve months and cash flow from operations has not been sufficient to meet the Company’s liquidity demands. As a result, as described in Note 21, on August 30, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Debtors”) each filed a voluntary petition for relief (the “Bankruptcy Petitions,” and the cases commenced thereby, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Financial information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if we were unable to realize our assets and settle our liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of operations. Such adjustments could be material.

Our future plans, including those in connection with the Chapter 11 filings, are not yet finalized, fully executed or approved by the Bankruptcy Court, and therefore cannot be deemed probable of mitigating this substantial doubt within 12 months of the date of issuance of these financial statements.

Note 2—Recent Accounting Standards


Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

StandardDescriptionEffective DateEffect on our financial statements and other significant matters
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 and disclosures.

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). The amendments also 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 and disclosures.
ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - On March 12, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued this guidance that provides optional expedients and exceptions that are intended to ease the burden of updating contracts to contain a new reference rate due to the discontinuation of the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR). This guidance is available immediately and may be implemented in any period prior to the guidance expiration on December 31, 2022. We are currently assessing which of our various contracts will require an update for a new reference rate, and will determine the timing for our implementation of this guidance at the completion of that analysis.

ASU 2019-12 Income Taxes: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes - This Accounting Standards Update removes specific exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 in Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). It eliminates the need for an organization to analyze whether the following apply in a given period: (1) Exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation, (2) Exception accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments, (3) Exception to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment and (4) Exception in interim period income tax accounting for year-to-date losses that exceed anticipated losses. Also, this amendment updates the following: (1) Making minor Codification improvements for income taxes related to employee stock ownership plans and investments in qualified affordable housing projects accounted for using the equity method, (2) Requiring that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date and (3) Requiring that an entity evaluate when a step up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which the book goodwill was originally recognized and when it should be considered a separate transaction. We expect to adopt this guidance on November 1, 2021 and we are currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2018-14Compensation-Retirements Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans - This 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. We expect to adopt this guidance on November 1, 2021 and we are currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

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. We expect to adopt this guidance on November 1, 2020 and we are currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

ASU 2018-15 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). The amendments also 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.

StandardDescriptionEffective DateEffect on our financial statements and other significant matters
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 Accounting Standards Codification ("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.
We are in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on our financial statements and disclosures. Our continued efforts include assessing the available practical expedients, calculating the lease asset and liability balances associated with individual contractual arrangements and assessing disclosure requirements. In addition, we continue to monitor FASB amendments to ASC Topic 842. While we continue to evaluate the effect of the standard, we anticipate that the adoption will result in a material increase in assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet and will not have a material impact on our consolidated income statement or statement of cash flows.


Recently Adopted Accounting Standards:

ASU 2017-09 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)
This amendment clarifies when a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as a modification. The new guidance requires modification accounting if the fair value, vesting condition or the classification of the award is not the same immediately before and after a change to the terms and conditions of the award. The amendment should be adopted on a prospective basis.

November 1, 2018The adoption of this framework did not have a material impact on Shiloh's financial position, results of operations or financial statement disclosures. Shiloh's awards are rarely modified after grant.

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 customersASU 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 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 Accounting Standards Updated ("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 Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities.

November 1, 2018Refer to Note 3.
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 of the Company's equity investments, with certain exceptions, to be recognized through net income rather than other comprehensive income ("OCI"). The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet in year of adoption.

Note 3Revenue

On November 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, ASC Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers"Customers. The standard requires a modified retrospective or current period transition approach 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. The Company adopted this guidance on November 1, 2019.

        The Company has applied ASU 2016-02 and all related amendments ("ASC 842") using the modified retrospective transition method with no impactcurrent period adjustment method. The Company did not record any adjustments to previously reported periods and no adjustment tothe opening balance of retained earnings as of November 1, 20182019. Therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be presented under prior lease guidance. In addition, the Company elected the following package of practical expedients on a consistent basis permitting entities not to reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contract are/or contain a lease; (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases; (3) whether initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases qualify for capitalization under the new amended guidance. As a result, as there was noof November 1, 2019, we recorded right-of-use ("ROU") assets of $50,540 for operating leases and $2,000 for financing leases. This standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations or statement of cash flows.

        The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in ROU assets and the Company's short-term and long-term operating lease liability on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases are included in other assets, other current liabilities, and other non-current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
        ROU assets represent our right to previously reported revenueuse an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the term of the lease. The Company includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. As most of the Company's leases do not provide an implicitly stated rate within the contract, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on third party information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease expenses associatedfor lease payments on operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Additionally, the Company does not record a ROU asset or lease liability for leases with an expected lease term of 12 months or less.

        The Company has lease arrangements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately across the adoptionCompany's portfolio of leases. The non-lease components consist of maintenance, insurance, taxes and other expenses, and are immaterial.

        The Company has exercised the land easement expedient and will continue to treat land leases under legacy GAAP provisions of ASC 606.840, Leases. If a modification or extension happens to a land lease, the Company will then treat the lease under the ASC 842 requirements. Current land leases are being recorded in other assets on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 3Revenue

        The new guidance requires new disclosures regarding the nature, timingCompany manufactures and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The new standard recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control rather than when substantially all the risks and rewards of a good or service are transferred. The new guidance supersedes most existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance.

We manufacture and sellsells products, primarily to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and to OEMs through Tier 1 suppliers. We enter into contracts with customers that create enforceable rights and obligations for the sale of

those products. While certain production is provided under awarded multi-year programs, these programs do not contain any commitment to volume by the customer. Individual customer volume releases, blanket purchase orders, supply agreements, terms and conditions represent the contract with the customer. Volume releases are limited to near-term customer requirements generally with delivery periods within a few weeks. We do not have contract assets or liabilities as defined under ASC 606.606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers".


Each unit produced represents a separate performance obligation. Customer contracts do not provide an enforceable right to payment for performance completed throughout the production process. As such, product revenue is recognized at the point in time when shipment occurs and control has been transferred to the customer.

We participate        The Company participates in certain customers’ materials repurchase programs, under which we purchase materials directly from a customer’s designated supplier, for use in manufacturing products for that customer. We take delivery and title to such materials and bear the risk of loss and obsolescence. We invoice customers based upon negotiated selling prices, which inherently include a component for materials under such repurchase programs. We have risks and rewards of a principal, and as such, for transactions in which we participate in customers' materials resale programs, revenue is recognized on a gross basis for the entire amount, including the component for purchases under that customers' material resale programs.
        
We provide customers with standard warranties customary in the industry that products will operate as intended or designed, which are not separate performance obligations under ASC 606. We do not provide customers with the right to a refund but provide for product replacement. Returns or refunds for nonconforming products are not separate performance obligations applicable to Shiloh'sthe Company's contract arrangements with customers.



SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC.

Payment terms with customers are established based on industry and regional practices and do not exceed 180 days.

Note 87 —Goodwill and Intangible Assets


Goodwill:


        In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, "Intangibles – Goodwill and Other", goodwill must be reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if events and circumstances arise that suggest the asset may be impaired. We conduct our review for goodwill impairment on September 30 of each year. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level. The fair value is compared to the carrying value including goodwill. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, then goodwill impairment exists. The impact of COVID-19 developments and uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets and is having a widespread adverse effect on the automotive industry, including reductions in consumer demand and OEM automotive production. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our key customers temporarily closed nearly all their production facilities in North America, Europe and Asia (our primary markets) over the course of the quarter ended April 30, 2020. As a result, we concluded that an interim test of our goodwill was required. More specifically, the Company concluded that the following events and circumstances, in the aggregate, indicated that it was more likely than not that the carrying value of our North American reporting unit exceeded its fair value: (1) lower forecasted 2020 industry production volumes for North America, including those for our primary North American customers, due to OEM shutdowns to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and subsequent reduced production levels over the remainder of the year, as compared to our prior production forecasts (including estimates used in our 2019 assessment) and (2) the volatility in financial markets that has lowered median North American automotive market multiples. Based on the
12


SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
results of our quantitative analysis, we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge equal to the remaining goodwill balance of $21,971 since the carrying value exceeded the fair value of the North American reporting unit by more than the amount of the goodwill balance at April 30, 2020.
        We utilized both an income and a market approach, to determine the fair value of the North American reporting unit as part of our goodwill impairment assessment. The income approach is based on projected debt-free cash flow, which is discounted to the present value using discount factors that consider the timing and risk of cash flows. The discount rate used is the weighted average of an estimated cost of equity and of debt (“weighted average cost of capital”). The weighted average cost of capital is adjusted as necessary to reflect risk associated with the business of the North American reporting unit. Financial projections are based on estimated production volumes, product prices and expenses, including raw material cost, wages, energy and other expenses. Other significant assumptions include terminal value cash flow and growth rates, future capital expenditures and changes in future working capital requirements. The market approach is based on the observed share prices of comparable, publicly traded companies. The market approach fair value was determined by multiplying outstanding share capital by the associated market value of the Company’s stock at April 30, 2020. A considerable amount of management judgment and assumptions were required in performing the quantitative impairment test, principally related to determining the fair value of the reporting unit.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended July 31, 20192020 are as follows:
Balance October 31, 2019$22,395
Impairment(21,971)

Intangible AssetsAssets:
        
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment" (“ASC 360”), we are required to complete impairment testing whenever an event or changes in circumstances indicate the long-lived assets carrying value may not be recoverable. The long-lived assets consist principally of property, plant, equipment, and intangibles. Due to the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and decline in our business it was necessary to test our long-lived assets for impairment as of the interim date of July 31, 2020. In accordance with ASC 360, we tested long-lived assets for impairment at the asset group level for which the lowest level of independent cash flows can be identified. Based on the results of our quantitative analysis, an impairment charge of $4,858 and $104,775 were recorded to intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, respectively as of July 31, 2020.

On June 6, 2019, we executed the Ninth Amendment to the Credit Agreement which improved certain thresholds for the consolidated leverage ratio and various baskets related to the indebtedness of foreign subsidiaries, disposition of assets, capital expenditures and sale leaseback transactions. The Ninth Amendment also adjusted the interest rate margins based on the applicable pricing tiers, but did not modify the aggregate revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement.

On October 31, 2017, we executed the Eighth Amendment to the Credit Agreement which, among other things, provided for an aggregate availability of $350,000, $275,000 of which is available to the Company through the Tranche A Facility and $75,000 of which is available to the Dutch borrower through the Tranche B Facility, and eliminated the scheduled reductions in such availability; increased the aggregate amount of incremental commitment increase allowed under the Credit Agreement to up to $150,000 subject to our pro forma compliance with financial covenants, the Administrative Agent’s approval and the Company obtaining commitments for any such increase. The Amendment extended the commitment period to October 31, 2022.

On July 31, 2017, we executed the Seventh Amendment which modified investments in subsidiaries and various cumulative financial covenant thresholds, in each case, under the Credit Agreement. The Amendment also enhanced our ability to take advantage of customer supply chain finance programs.

On October 28, 2016, we executed the Sixth Amendment which increased the permitted consolidated leverage ratio for periods beginning after July 31, 2016; increased the permitted consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio for periods beginning after April 30, 2017, modified various baskets related to sale of accounts receivable, disposition of assets, sale-leaseback transactions, and made other ministerial updates.
        
On October 30, 2015, we executed the Fifth Amendment which increased the permitted leverage ratio with periodic reductions beginning after July 30, 2016. In addition, the Amendment permitted various investments as well as up to $40,000 aggregate outstanding principal amount of subordinated indebtedness, subject to certain conditions. Finally, the Amendment provided for a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, and provided for up to $50,000 of capital expenditures by the Company and our subsidiaries throughout the year ending October 31, 2016, subject to certain quarterly baskets.

On April 29, 2015, we executed the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement that maintained the commitment period of September 29, 2019 and allowed for an incremental increase of $25,000 (or if certain ratios are met, $100,000) to the original revolving commitments of $360,000, subject to our pro forma compliance with financial covenants, the administrative agent's approval, and the Company obtaining commitments for such increase.
The Fourth Amendment included scheduled commitment reductions beginning after January 30, 2016 totaling $30,000, allocated proportionately between the Aggregate Revolving A and B commitments. On April 30, 2016, the first committed reduction of $5,000 decreased the existing revolving commitment to $355,000, subject to our pro forma compliance with financial covenants.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at LIBOR or the base (or "prime") rate established from time to time by the administrative agent, in each case plus an applicable margin. The Fifth Amendment provided for an interest rate margin on LIBOR loans of 1.5% to 3.0% and of 0.5% to 2.0% on base rate loans depending on the Company's leverage ratio.

The Credit Agreement contains customary restrictive and financial covenants, including covenants regarding our outstanding indebtedness and maximum leverage and interest coverage ratios. The Credit Agreement leverage ratio increases in restriction until maturity. 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

        The impact of COVID-19 developments and uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets and is having a widespread adverse effect on the automotive industry, including reductions in consumer demand and OEM automotive production. The Company experienced significant operating losses, negative cash flows from operations and working capital deficiencies during the period and as a result was below the established financial thresholds of the interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio covenants as of July 31, 2020.

On June 11, 2020, the Company entered into the Tenth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Tenth Amendment”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Company received a waiver of the interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio covenants for the quarters ended April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2020. As of July 31, 2020, the Company has significant indebtedness due within the next twelve months and cash flow from operations, has not been sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity demands. Our outstanding indebtedness coupled with the Chapter 11 Cases raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

        The Tenth Amendment added financial covenants that required the Company to (i) maintain week-end liquidity of at least (1) $40 million for the period from June 13, 2020 through June 26, 2020, (2) $35 million for the period from June 27, 2020 through July 11, 2020, and (3) $30 million from July 12, 2020 through October 31, 2020, and (ii) limit capital expenditures to $15 million for the period from May 1, 2020 through August 31, 2020. The Tenth Amendment added, limited or otherwise modified certain debt, disposition and investment baskets. The Tenth Amendment provided that (i) revolving loans and swingline loans bear interest at a rate equal to the base rate or LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.00% in the case of base rate loans or 5.00% in the case of LIBOR loans, (ii) the Company pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving commitments at a rate of 0.65% per annum and (iii) revolving loans bearing interest at the LIBOR rate shall be subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00%; provided, that, in case of clauses (i) and (ii), if the Company demonstrates, based on the compliance certificate for the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2020, that (A) the consolidated leverage ratio as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2020 does not exceed 4.25 to 1.0 and (B) the consolidated interest coverage ratio as of the end of the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2020 is greater than or equal to 3.50 to 1.0, then applicable margin shall revert to the pricing grid that was in effect prior to the Tenth Amendment. The Tenth Amendment also included certain transactional milestones for the Company.

Long-term debt is classified as current in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2020, because the waivers for the pre-existing financial covenants expire in less than twelve months and the Company will not comply with future covenants based on current forecasts. The Company was unable to obtain new financing and filed the Chapter 11 Cases on August 30, 2020. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default and the principal and interest due under the Credit Agreement became immediately due and payable and therefore, we will continue to classify the long-term debt as current in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

        After considering letters of credit of $4,804 that we have issued, the Company has borrowed all the funds available under the Credit Agreement as of July 31, 2019 and October 31, 2018.

The contractual terms above do not reflect any violation of covenants. Subsequently, the Company filed the Chapter 11 Cases on August 30, 2020.

Note 9 — Leases

The Company leases office space, manufacturing space, computer equipment and other equipment under non-cancellable lease arrangements. Additionally, some of the Company's real estate lease payments vary based on changes in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). These specific lease liabilities are not remeasured as a result of changes to the CPI and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments was incurred.

        The Company's lease arrangements have lease terms that expire between the years 2020 and 2039. The Company has options to extend the terms of certain leases into future periods and for the options the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, the payments associated with these renewal periods have been included in the measurement of the lease liabilities and ROU assets. The Company's debt covenant requirements do not have any restrictions in terms of leasing arrangements on the Company or place any other restrictions on the Company.

        Operating lease expenses are classified as cost of products sold and operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The components of lease expense for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2020 are as follows:

Note 12—Derivatives and Financial Instruments


Shiloh        The Company is exposed to, among other risks, the impact of changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates in the normal course of business. Shiloh’sThe Company's financial risk management program is designed to manage the exposure and volatility arising from these risks and utilizes derivative financial instruments to offset a portion of these risks. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. On an on-going basis, we monitor counterparty credit ratings. We consider credit non-performance risk to be low because we enter into agreements with commercial institutions that have investment grade credit rating.ratings.


On March 1, 2018, we entered into a cross-currency swap in which we would settle interest on the notional amount in Euros and settle interest on the notional amount in dollars, both at a variable rate. The objective of the transaction was to protect the initial net investment in Brabant against adverse changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. Hedge effectiveness was assessed based upon changes in the spot foreign exchange rate. As such, the change in value of the cross-currency interest rate swap related to the change in spot rates was perfectly effective at offsetting changes in the cumulative translation adjustment related to the portion of our net investment in Brabant up to the notional amount of the cross-currency interest rate swap.


Under the cross-currency interest rate swap, we received €53,000 on which we would settle interest at the 1-month Euribor rate, and we lent to the counterparty $64,930 on which we would settle interest at the 1-month LIBOR rate. Interest payments

of the cross-currency interest rate swap period were to be repaid at the end of the cross-currency interest rate swap period. The initial maturity of the cross-currency interest rate swap was October 31, 2022. In the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the cross-currency interest rate swap was discontinued and settled in cash for $5,110. The cash value at settlement was driven by changes in foreign currency exchange rates and debt markets from inception to settlement. There was no impact to net income upon settlement.


On February 25, 2014, we entered into an interest rate swap with an aggregate notional amount of $75,000 designated as a cash flow hedge to manage interest rate exposure on our floating rate LIBOR based debt under the Credit Agreement.  The interest rate swap is an agreement to exchange payment streams based on the notional principal amount. This agreement fixes our future interest rate at 2.74% plus the applicable margin as provided in the Fifth Amendment discussed in Note 9 - Financing Arrangements,to our Credit Agreement, on an amount of our debt principal equal to the then-outstanding swap notional amount. The forward interest rate swap commenced on March 1, 2015 with an initial $25,000 base notional amount. The second notional amount of $25,000 commenced on September 1, 2015 and the final notional amount of $25,000 commenced on March 1, 2016. The base notional amount plus each incremental addition to the base notional amount has a five year-year maturity of February 29, 2020, August 31, 2020 and February 28, 2021, respectively. On the date the interest rate swap was entered into, we designated the interest rate swap as a hedge of the variability of cash flows to be paid relative to our variable interest rate monies borrowed. Any ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship is recognized immediately into earnings.


Our derivatives at July 31, 20192020 consist of interest rate swap contracts, all of which are over-the-counter and not traded through an exchange. The Company uses widely accepted valuation tools to determine fair value, such as discounting cash flows to calculate a present value for the derivatives. The models use Level 2 inputs, such as forward curves and other commonly quoted observable transactions and prices. The fair value of our derivatives and hedging instruments are all classified as Level 2 investments within the three-tier hierarchy.



The following table discloses the fair value and balance sheet location of our derivative instruments:

As a result of the hedging relationships being highly effective, the net interest payments accrued each period are reflected in net income (loss) as adjustments of interest expense, and the remaining change in the fair value of the derivatives is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCI").

Note 13—Stock Incentive Compensation


SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

Note 13—Stock Incentive Compensation
Stock Incentive Compensation requires us to expense share-based payment awards granted. Compensation cost for share-based paymentspayment transactions are measured at fair value. For stock options, we use the simplified method of calculating the expected term 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. New restricted stock and restricted stock unit grants are calculated using the average market price of our common stock over a consistent predetermined number of days prior to the grant date and then valued at the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant. We do not estimate a forfeiture rate at the time of grant. Instead, we recognizeadjust share-based compensation expense when actual forfeitures occur.
2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan
Long-Term / Annual Incentives
On February 26, 2019, stockholders approved and adopted the 2019 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan ("2019 Plan" or "Incentive Plan"), which replaced the 2016 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan. The 2019 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company to grant to the officers and other key employees, including directors, of the Company and our subsidiaries (i) stock options, (ii) appreciation rights, (iii) restricted shares, (iv) restricted stock units, (v) cash incentive awards, performance shares and performance units and (vi) other awards. An aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock,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, was reserved for issuance pursuant to the Incentive Plan. An individual’s award of options and / or appreciation rights is limited to 500,000 shares during any calendar year. Also, an individual's award of restricted shares, restricted share units and performance basedperformance-based awards is limited to 350,000 shares during any calendar year.

We calculate the fair value of our cross-currency and interest rate swap contracts using quoted interest rate curves to calculate forward values and then discount the forward values.

The discount rates for all derivative contracts are based on quoted swap interest rates or bank deposit rates. For contracts which, when aggregated by counterparty, are in a liability position, the rates are adjusted by the credit spread that market participants would apply if buying these contracts from our counterparties.
We calculate the fair value of our marketable securities by using the closing stock price on the last business day of the quarter.

Note 15—Restructuring Charges


During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, management initiated restructuring activities to reshape Shiloh'sthe Company's global footprint to be flexible to market conditions. Activities included actions such as consolidating manufacturing facilities, making geographical shifts to place production closer to customer facilities, centralizing departments, optimizing our product portfolio and capturing synergies. Management believes these strategic moves will result in a stronger and more agile organization.
        
During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2019, respectively, we        We have incurred $3,905 and $11,371 related to employee, professional, legal and other restructuring related costs. We have incurred restructuring expensescosts of $22,761$41,859 since initiating the restructuring activities.


Global restructuring initiatives have continued to evolve and expand across the organization. We expect to incur additional restructuring costs over and beyond the next twelve months to execute planned restructuring initiatives. Costs of planned restructuring actions will primarily include employee costs and professional fees to execute initiatives. Future restructuring actions will depend upon market conditions, customer actions and other factors.

The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended July 31, 2020 was an expense of $1,650 on a loss before income taxes of $197,872 for a consolidated effective tax rate of 0.8%.

are excluded from the annual effective rate calculation and recognized in the period in which they occur. For the nine months ended July 31, 2020, the valuation allowance adjustments resulted in a negative impact of 28.1% to the effective tax rate.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended July 31, 2019 was a benefit of $973 on a loss before income taxes of $3,682 for a consolidated effective tax rate of 26.4%. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended July 31, 2019 was a benefit of $2,612 on a loss before income taxes of $8,907 for a consolidated effective tax rate of 29.3%. The year-to-date benefit was calculated using the year-to-date loss, considering non-taxable and non-deductible items expected to be incurred for the full year multiplied by the statutory rate. This methodology is required by ASC 740, Income Taxes, as the use of an estimated annual effective rate would not be reliable.


On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted and signed into law. The provisionCARES Act, among other things, permits NOL carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxestaxes. The Company continues to examine the impact of the CARES Act to our business and the extent to which we will benefit from the tax provisions in the CARES Act. The CARES Act also contains modifications on the limitation of business interest expense for the three months ended July 31, 2018 was a benefit of $7,014 on income before income taxes of $4,038 for a consolidated effective tax rate of (173.7)%.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has proposed disallowances of the majoritya portion of fiscal yearyears 2012 and fiscal year 2013 U.S. R&D credits claimed. We have reached agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and are disputing this tax credit matter and intendclose to vigorously defend our position. We believe the ultimate resolutiona settlement of the matters willlitigation for 2012 and 2013. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has also been auditing fiscal years 2014 and 2015 and has proposed disallowances of the U.S. R&D credits claimed on 2014 and 2015 federal income tax returns. We have reached an agreement on the audited R&D credits and are bringing the audits to a close. The Company considers these positions to be effectively settled and does not expect the settlement of litigation and audits to materially impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. With any tax controversy and litigation, there is, however, a chance of unforeseen loss which due to the number of years involved could materially impact our results, financial position and cash flows. For remaining open tax years through fiscal year 2019,2020, the total amounts related to the unreserved portion of the tax contingency, inclusive of any related interest, amounts to approximately $8,000,$7,000, of which the majority has been assessed by management as being remote as to the likelihood of ultimately resulting in a loss to the Company. We routinely assess tax matters as to the probability of incurring a loss and record our best estimate of the ultimate loss in situations where we assess the likelihood of an ultimate loss as probable.

Note 17—Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) 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 restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock options outstanding under the 2019 Plan are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation to the extent they are dilutive. For the nine months ended July 31, 2020 and 2019, 46 and 2018, 141 and 316 stock awards, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Note 18—Business Segment Information
We conduct our business and report our information as one operating segment and, therefore, disclose one reportable segment - Automotive and Commercial Vehicles. Our chief operating decision maker is the executive leadership team, which includes certain Vice Presidents, all Senior Vice Presidents and the Chief Executive Officer. This team has the final authority over performance assessment and resource allocation decisions. In determining that one operating segment is appropriate, we considered the nature of the business activities and the existence of managers responsible for the operating activities. Customers and suppliers are substantially the same in the automotive and commercial vehicle industry.

Note 19—Commitments and Contingencies


From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings, claims or investigations that are incidental to the conduct of our business. We vigorously defend ourselves against such claims. In future periods, we could be subject to cash costs or non-cash charges to earnings if a matter is resolved on unfavorable terms. However, although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on current information, including assessment of the merits of the particular claims, we do not expect that our legal proceedings or claims will have a material impact on our future consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 20—Other Matters

The Company acquired a small facility in Italy in 2018 in connection with the acquisition of a larger plant in the Netherlands. Since the acquisition, the small facility has lost approximately half of its sales volume and has generated significant losses relative to the size of the facility. The Italy facility had $26.5 million in sales and a net loss of $4.5 million in fiscal 2019. COVID-19 further negatively impacted the financial results of the facility in the second quarter of 2020. An investment is required to start-up the small facility in Italy and even further investment to create a sustainable business. On June 1, 2020, the subsidiary filed with the competent Italian Court a “pre-concordato” petition to seek protection for past accrued liabilities as we engage with customers to renegotiate contracts to ensure the Italy facility is a viable business going forward. The Court granted the Italian subsidiary with a term until October 30, 2020, which may be potentially extended for up to an additional 60 days, to file a reorganization and debt restructuring plan to be approved by the Court and the concerned creditors. If the negotiations are not successful, we may have to discontinue the Italian facility operations and enter a bankruptcy liquidation process in Italy. Refer to Note 7, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets," for further information on the impairment testing of long-lived assets.

Note 21—Subsequent Events

Chapter 11 Filing

On August 30, 2020, Shiloh Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its U.S. subsidiaries (together with Shiloh Industries, Inc., the “Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions (the “Bankruptcy Petitions,” and the cases commenced thereby, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption “In re Shiloh Industries, Inc.

No trustee has been appointed and the Company will continue to manage itself and its subsidiaries as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors are seeking authority to sell substantially all of their assets pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

On September 1 and 2, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court issued orders approving the “first day” relief motions on an interim basis(the “Interim DIP Order”), authorizing the Company to, among other things, enter into the DIP Credit Agreement (as defined below) and initially borrow an approved amount, maintain existing cash management system and pay employee wages and benefits.

On September 1, 2020, we received notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that it had determined to commence proceedings to delist our common stock at the opening of business on September 10, 2020 as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company does not intend to take any further action to appeal Nasdaq’s decision. Therefore, it is expected that the Company’s common stock will be delisted after the completion of Nasdaq’s application to the SEC to delist the Company’s common stock.

Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement

In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, on August 30, 2020, the Debtors entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Grouper Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”) and subsidiary of MiddleGround Capital LLC. Pursuant to the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser will acquire substantially all of the Debtors’ assets, including the equity interests of certain of the Debtors’ direct subsidiaries. The aggregate consideration for the purchased assets and equity interests will be $218 million in cash, subject to working capital and net debt adjustments, and assumption of certain liabilities of the Debtors.

The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, (i) entry of an order approving the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement by the Bankruptcy Court; (ii) the accuracy of representations and warranties of the parties; and (iii) material compliance with the obligations set forth in the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement.

28


The asset and equity purchase pursuant to the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement is expected to be conducted under the provisions of Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and will be subject to proposed bidding procedures and receipt of higher or otherwise better competing bids. Upon entry by the Bankruptcy Court, the bidding procedures order will provide that Purchaser is the “stalking horse” bidder for the assets and equity identified in the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement. The Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement calls for the Company to pay a break-up fee to Purchaser equal to $7.1 million upon the consummation of an alternate transaction involving the sale of a material portion of the Debtors’ assets to any person or entity other than the Purchaser (an “Alternative Transaction”). The Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement also provides for reimbursement of an amount not to exceed $1.5 million for expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement in the event the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances, including, among others, upon the entry into an Alternative Transaction.

DIP Financing

Filing of the Bankruptcy Petitions resulted in a default on the Credit Agreement. In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, on August 30, 2020, the Debtors filed a motion (the "DIP Motion") seeking Bankruptcy Court approval of, among other things, interim and final approval of postpetition, debtor-in-possession financing on the terms set forth in that certain proposed Superpriority Secured Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, the other Debtors as guarantors thereto, the various lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “DIP Agent”).

On September 2, 2020, the Company entered into the DIP Credit Agreement with the Lenders, as well as the related postpetition security and pledge agreements with the DIP Agent. The DIP Credit Agreement is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court, which has only been granted on an interim basis. The Debtors will seek final approval of the DIP Credit Agreement at a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on or about September 25, 2020.

The DIP Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession financing in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $123.5 million (the “DIP Facility”) consisting of (i) an approximately $23.5 million new money subfacility comprised of revolving loans and (ii) a roll-up of approximately $100 million of commitments under the Company’s existing revolving credit facility, which will be deemed loans under the DIP Facility. $18.1 million of the DIP Facility is available following entry of the Interim DIP Order and until the entry of the final order approving the DIP Credit Agreement (the “Final DIP Order”), secured by, among other things, (a) a first priority lien on all unencumbered tangible and intangible property and assets of the Loan Parties, (b) a first priority, senior priming lien on all prepetition collateral, and (c) all real property owned or leased by the Company or the Guarantors, subject to certain carve outs.

The proceeds from the DIP Financing will be used, subject to the Interim DIP Order and the Final DIP Order, for working capital, administrative costs, and premiums and fees associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, payment of court-approved prepetition obligations and other purposes such as are consistent with the DIP Credit Agreement or as otherwise approved by the agent and lenders.

Retention Bonus Plan

On August 25, 2020, the compensation committee of the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company approved a Key Employee Retention Program, pursuant to which certain executive officers and key employees of the Company received one-time cash retention incentive awards (the “Retention Incentives”).

The Retention Incentives were paid on August 28, 2020 and are subject to the terms of the corresponding Retention Incentive Letter Agreements (the “Retention Letter Agreement”). Pursuant to the Retention Letter Agreement, if the employee terminates his or her employment for any reason or the employee’s employment is terminated by the Company for cause prior to the earlier of (i) the Closing Date (as such term is defined in the Retention Letter Agreement) or (ii) December 31, 2020, the employee will forfeit his or her entitlement to the Retention Incentive and must repay to the Company the full, aggregate amount of the Retention Incentive before the date on which the Company pays the employee his or her final wages.

Reorganization accounting

Effective August 31, 2020, we will apply ASC, No. 852, “Reorganizations” (“ASC 852”), which is applicable to companies under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. ASC 852 requires the financial statements for periods subsequent to the
29


Chapter 11 filing to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses that are directly associated with reorganization proceedings must be reported separately as “Reorganization items, net” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, the balance sheet must distinguish between debtor pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise from pre-petition or post-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise. Liabilities subject to compromise are pre-petition obligations that are not fully secured and have at least a possibility of not being repaid at the full claim amount.

COVID-19

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has spread throughout the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, it characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”. The impact of COVID-19 developments and uncertainty with respect to the economic effects of the pandemic has introduced significant volatility in the financial markets and is having a widespread adverse effect on the automotive industry, including reductions in consumer demand and OEM automotive production.

        Many of our customers suspended manufacturing operations, particularly in North America, Europe and Asia, on a temporary basis due to market conditions and matters associated with COVID-19. In response to these COVID-19 related conditions and to protect the health and safety of our employees globally, we began closing production at our Asian facilities in February 2020 and our European and North American facilities in March 2020. Our facilities in Asia reopened in March 2020 while production remained suspended at the majority of our European and North American global facilities for all of April 2020 and most of May 2020. As of the beginning of June all of our facilities in Europe and North America reopened. Due to these significant disruptions, our profitability has been significantly impacted during the second and third quarters of 2020.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we took several proactive steps to preserve cash, maximize our financial flexibility and protect our employees in order to efficiently manage through the COVID-19 pandemic:
We maximized our liquidity position by borrowing on our Revolving Credit Facility;  
We aggressively reduced operating costs, capital expenditures and working capital, including eliminating discretionary spending and adjusting production activity; 
We temporarily reduced salaried employee costs 20% to 25% throughout the organization via salary reductions;   
We pursued any opportunities or relief offered under government incentive programs in the countries we are located; 
We temporarily reduced the compensation of the Board of Directors by 50%; 
We reduced hourly factory worker costs via furloughs during part of March and all of April;

Bankruptcy Proceedings and General Going Concern

On August 30, 2020, the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries (collectively with the Company, the “Debtors”) each filed a voluntary petition for relief (the “Bankruptcy Petitions,” and the cases commenced thereby, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) under the caption In re Shiloh Industries, Inc. et al. The Company's foreign

subsidiaries were not included in the Chapter 11 Cases and continue to operate their businesses without supervision from the Bankruptcy Court, and are not subject to the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code.

As a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases on August 30, 2020, the Debtors are operating as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. To ensure their ability to continue operating in the ordinary course of business, the Debtors also filed with the Bankruptcy Court a variety of “first day” relief motions, including authority to pay employee wages and benefits and certain vendors and suppliers in the ordinary course of business, which motions were granted by the Bankruptcy Court. Under the Bankruptcy Code, third-party actions to collect pre-petition indebtedness owed by the Debtors, as well as most litigation then pending against these entities, have been subject to an automatic stay during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.


As of July 31, 2020, the Company has significant indebtedness due within the next twelve months and cash flow from operations has not been sufficient to meet the Company’s liquidity demands. Our outstanding indebtedness coupled with the Chapter 11 Cases raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement

In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, on August 30, 2020 the Debtors entered into the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Grouper Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”) and subsidiary of MiddleGround Capital LLC. Pursuant to the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser will acquire substantially all of the Debtors’ assets, including the equity interests of certain of the Debtors’ direct subsidiaries. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, entry of an order approving the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement by the Bankruptcy Court. The asset and equity purchase pursuant to the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement is expected to be conducted under the provisions of Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and will be subject to proposed bidding procedures and receipt of higher or otherwise better competing bids. Upon entry by the Bankruptcy Court, the bidding procedures order will provide that the Purchaser is the “stalking horse” bidder for the assets and equity identified in the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement.

DIP Financing

In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, on September 2, 2020, the Company, as borrower, and certain of its wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Superpriority Secured Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”) with the various lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “DIP Agent”).

To ensure sufficient liquidity throughout the Chapter 11 Cases, the DIP Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession financing in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $123.5 million (the “DIP Facility”) consisting of (i) an approximately $23.5 million new money subfacility comprised of revolving loans and (ii) a roll-up of approximately $100 million of commitments under the Company’s existing revolving credit facility, which are deemed term loans under the DIP Facility.

Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for a description of the DIP Credit Agreement.

Retention Bonus Plan

On August 25, 2020, the compensation committee of the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company approved a Key Employee Retention Program, pursuant to which certain executive officers of the Company received one-time cash retention incentive awards (the “Retention Incentives”). The Retention Incentives were paid on August 28, 2020 and are subject to the terms of the corresponding Retention Incentive Letter Agreements.

Refer to Note 21, “Subsequent Events,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for details of the Key Employee Retention Program.

Economic Conditions Affecting the Automotive Industry
Our business
Current industry volumes and operating results are directly affected by the relative strength ofdemand in the Asian, European and North American automotive industries whichhave decreased due to COVID-19 but have recovered somewhat since the onset of the pandemic. Global economies are facing record-high unemployment levels, collapsing business and consumer confidence, and historic recession levels driven by quarantines and lockdowns instituted throughout the world. The United States has entered into a recession as a result of COVID-19, with consumer spending expected to remain low as social distancing and high unemployment continue. China's outlook continues to recover from the economic uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic. Europe and Mexico's economies have also declined as COVID-19 has negatively hit their tourist sectors, as well as severely impacted supply chains and reduced both domestic and external demand. Management has observed improvements during the third quarter but expects lower demand through the fourth quarter of 2020.

        Our operating results are driven by factors that continueour ability to be critical to our success including winning new business awards, managingmanage our overall global manufacturing footprint to ensure proper placement and workforce levels in line with business needs, maintaining competitive wages and benefits, maximizing efficienciesthe decrease in manufacturing processes and reducing overall costs.industry volumes. In addition, our ability to adapt to key industry trends, such as shifts in consumer preferences to other vehicles in response to higher fuel costs and other economic and social factors, increasing technologically sophisticated content, increasing environmental standards and extended product life of automotive parts, also play a critical role in our success. Other factors that are critical to our success include managing changes in the prices of our principal raw material costs,materials, negotiation of price increases and cost reduction initiatives. In addition, recent trade actions initiated by the U.S. imposing tariffsThe impact of COVID-19 has not had a significant impact on imports have been met with retaliatory tariffs by other countries, adding a level of tension and uncertainty to the global economic environment. These and other actions are likely to impact trade policies with other countries and the overall global economy. We are carefully monitoring capacity and availability of the alloys utilized in our production process. The automotive industry remains susceptible to these factors that impact consumer spending habits and could adversely impact consumer demandsupply chain for vehicles.our principal raw materials.

We operate 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. Additionally, due to the challenges of COVID-19 our customers may consider supplier financial liquidity in awarding new business. Customers continue to demand periodic cost reductions that require us to assess, redefine and improve operations, products, and manufacturing capabilities to maintain and improve profitability. Our management continues to develop and execute initiatives designed to meet challenges of the industry and to achieve our strategy for sustainable global profitable growth.

We continue to adapt our capacity to meet customer demand, both expanding capabilities in growth areas as well as reallocating capacity between manufacturing facilities as needs arise. We employ new technologies to differentiate our products from our competitors and to achieve higher quality and productivity. We believe that we have sufficient capacity to meet current and expected manufacturing needs.

Asia Market:


Asia:

        The Asia Pacific automotive market production volumes declinedincreased during 2019.the third quarter of 2020. The decline in production volumes was due to uncertainty related to the trade dispute between China and the U.S., increasing emission standards and tightened credit for prospective buyers. The ongoing trade dispute between China and the U.S. has negatively impacted consumer confidence. New emission standards recently became effective, which require all new vehicles sold in China meet higher standards. Consumers pulled forward purchases to buy cars under the old emission standards. In June the Chinese government announced measures to stimulate sales. Industry analysts anticipate a stabilization of production volumes through the remainder of 2019. In 2020, we expect that China may show signs of modest recovery as the impact of the new emissions standards subside and the market returns to a more normalized basis supported by government stimulus measures and the potential resolution of the China and the U.S. trade dispute.

Europe:

Uncertainty remains in the economic environment in Europe due to a number of factors, resulting in a decrease in year over year vehicle production. Implementation of fuel consumption and emissions standards such as the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure ("WLTP") have caused disruption in the European automotive market requiring manufacturers to shift production to comply. The United Kingdom's pending withdrawal from the European Union has also had an effect on the economy of the remaining European Union countries, as no trade deal has been signed. The European economy is showing signs of a slowdown with manufacturing slumping, especially with the end of Quantitative Easing by the European Central Bank. The end of the program, which was used to stimulate the economy and increase liquidity, will primarily affect Southern Europe. The European automotive market outlook has declined with this uncertainty.

North America:

North America volumes have been trending downward in the first nine months was due mainly to the lingering effects of the fiscal year. TheCOVID-19 outbreak. Automotive production in most of China was stopped during the month of February and returned to partial capacity starting in March and returned to more normal levels in the month of April. During the third quarter the volumes did recover slightly but we expectrecovered from the current North American economic climatepandemic disruptions and increased over last year by 7.3%.

Europe Market:

        The significant decline in Europe production volumes was mainly due to continue to declinethe COVID-19 outbreak. With the disruptions and stoppages of manufacturing through a significant portion of the quarter, the volumes were down 38.2%. The lingering effects of COVID-19 and other uncertainties such as the lack of a trade deal between the United Kingdom and the European Union may negatively impact the anticipated volumes in Europe for the remainder of fiscal 2020 and beyond.

North America Market:

        The significant decline in North America production volumes was mainly due to the yearCOVID-19 outbreak. Automotive production was for the most part shut-down during the last half of March and intoall of April and May. With the disruptions and stoppages of manufacturing through a significant portion of the quarter the volumes were down 38.7%. The lingering impact of COVID-19 may continue to negatively impact North America revenue volumes anticipated in the remainder of fiscal 2020 albeit there is some uncertainty surrounding the potential effects of trade policies and restrictions and practices being implemented or considered by the United States government.beyond. High levels of consumer debt, recessionary pressures, and declining used car prices are also developments thatuncertainty due to COVID-19 could constrict future demand for new vehicles.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Preparation of our financial statements are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and in the accompanying notes. We believe our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results and the timing of the recognition of such amounts could differ from those estimates. We have identified the following items as critical accounting policies and estimates utilized by management in the preparation of the Company’s accompanying 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 our 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. We make frequent comparisons of actual experience and expected experience in order to mitigate the likelihood that material adjustments will be required.

Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

Management judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s net deferred tax assets. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial performance of the operation recording the net deferred tax assetassets is considered along with any other pertinent information. Since future financial results may differ from previous estimates, periodic adjustments to the Company’s valuation allowance may be necessary.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. at the federal and state level and numerous non-U.S. jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes and recording the related assets and liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is less than certain. Accruals for income tax contingencies are provided for in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 740. The Company’s U.S. federal and certain state income tax returns and certain non-U.S. income tax returns are currently under various stages of audit by applicable tax authorities. Although the outcome of ongoing tax audits is always uncertain, management believes that it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns. The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Nonetheless, the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year.

Refer to Note 16, "Income"Income Taxes," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report for more information regarding income taxes.

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. We amortize our acquired intangible assets with finite lives on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from three months to 15 years. SeeRefer to Note 87, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of the current intangible assets and their estimated amortization expense.

Finite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their related carrying value may not be fully recordable.

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 test 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 our determination of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

We performperformed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If thegoodwill as of April 30, 2020. The carrying amount exceedsexceeded the fair value, so we recognize an impairment charge forimpaired the amountgoodwill balance, which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwillis further discussed in that reporting unit.Note 7, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets".

Share-based Payments. We record compensation expense for the fair value of nonvested stock option awards, restricted stock awards and restricted stock awardsunits over the remaining vesting period. We use the simplified method to calculate the expected term of the stock options outstanding at five to six years and have utilized historical weighted average volatility. We determine the volatility and risk-free rate assumptions used in computing the fair value using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The expected term for the restricted stock award is between three months and four years. In addition, we do not estimate a forfeiture rate at the time of grant, instead, we elected to recognizeadjust share-based compensation expense when actual forfeitures occur.
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.

New restricted stock and restricted stock units grants are valued at the closing market price on the date of grant.

U.S. Pension and Other Post-Retirement Costs and Liabilities. We have recorded pension and other post-retirement benefit liabilities that are developed from actuarial valuations for our U.S. operations. The pension plans were frozen in November of 2006 and therefore contributions by participants are not allowed.2006. The determination of our 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. We determine these assumptions in consultation with, and after input from our 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. For our U.S. operations, we use the Principal Pension Discount Yield Curve ("Principal Curve") as the basis for determining the discount rate for reporting pension and retiree medical liabilities. At October 31, 2018, the resulting discount rate from the use of the Principal Curve was 4.35%, an increase of 0.70% that contributed to a decrease of the benefit obligation of $5,627. A change of 25 basis points in the discount rate at October 31, 20182019 would increase expense on an annual basis by $6$19 or decrease expense on an annual basis by $9.$260.

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 expense by $159.$166.

Our investment policy for assets of the plans is to maintain an allocation generally of 30% to 70% in equity securities, 30% 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. We determine 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. Our 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 year ended October 31, 2018,2019, the actual return on pension plans’ assets for all of our plans was 0.70%10.2%, which is lowerhigher than the expected rate of return on plan assets of 6.50% 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.

The decrease is2020 due to approximately $8 million in professional fees related to the Tenth Amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility (the "Tenth Amendment"), due diligence, contingency planning, cash management, and consulting for strategic cost saving initiatives takenactivities. Additionally, we had higher bad debt expense during the quarter of $1,993 due to better optimizethe current liquidity constraints and challenges of some of our customers. Partially offsetting the professional fees were reductions of employee salaries for the month of May, temporary reduction in board fees, reduction of discretionary spending, mandatory vacations, headcount reduction and administrative resources.furloughs.


AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS. Amortization of intangible assets expense was $514 for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and $518 for the third quarter of fiscal of 2019 and $607 for2019.

ASSET IMPAIRMENT. In the first fiscalthird quarter of 2018.fiscal 2020, the negative effects of COVID-19 continued to adversely impact the Company. In the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the business continued to decline and we concluded an interim test of long-lived assets was required, which resulted in impairing fixed assets and intangible assets by $109,633. There were no asset impairments recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 4.6% for the first nine months of 2020 and 8.3% for the first nine months of 2019. With most of our plants being closed for approximately two and a half months, we took proactive mitigating actions, including temporary salary reductions for employees, reduction of discretionary spending, mandatory vacations, headcount reduction and furloughs. These actions reduced our variable and fixed costs significantly but not enough to completely mitigate the significant decline in sales. The prolonged shut-downs resulted in some start-up inefficiencies and premium freight costs.

As a result, we concluded that an interim test of our goodwill and long-lived assets was required. Due to the decline in carrying value, we impaired all the $21,971 of goodwill in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and $2,500 related to an idle fixed asset. In the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the business continued to decline and we concluded an interim test of long-lived assets was required, which resulted in impairing fixed assets and intangible assets by $109,633.

These costs primarily included employee, professional, legal and other costs. The costs increased in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 as we terminated the relationship with our principal restructuring advisor due to the uncertainty of COVID-19, which resulted in recording the remaining contract costs in the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


General:


Our        The Company’s cash balance was $30,262 as of July 31, 2020 and $14,320 as of October 31, 2019. Subsequent to July 31, 2020, the Chapter 11 Cases triggered defaults on substantially all debt obligations of the Company and, as a result, those debt obligations are due and payable. As a result of the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases on August 30, 2020, the Debtors are operating as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. To ensure their ability to obtain adequate cashcontinue operating in the ordinary course of business, the Debtors also filed with the Bankruptcy Court a variety of “first day” relief motions, including authority to fund our needs dependspay employee wages and benefits and certain vendors and suppliers in the ordinary course of business, which motions were granted by the Bankruptcy Court. Under the Bankruptcy Code, third-party actions to collect pre-petition indebtedness owed by the Debtors, as well as most litigation then pending against these entities, have been subject to an automatic stay during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.

In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, on our resultsSeptember 2, 2020, the Company, as borrower, and certain of operationsits wholly-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a Superpriority Secured Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”) with the various lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “DIP Agent”).

On September 2, 2020, the Company entered into the DIP Credit Agreement with the Lenders, as well as the related postpetition security and pledge agreements with the DIP Agent. The DIP Credit Agreement is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court, which has only been granted on an interim basis. The Debtors will seek final approval of the DIP Credit Agreement at a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on or about September 25, 2020.

The DIP Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured superpriority debtor-in-possession financing in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $123.5 million (the “DIP Facility”) consisting of (i) an approximately $23.5 million new money subfacility comprised of revolving loans and (ii) a roll-up of approximately $100 million of commitments under the Company’s existing revolving credit facility, which will be deemed loans under the DIP Facility. $18.1 million of the DIP Facility is available following entry of the Interim DIP Order and until the entry of the final order approving the DIP Credit Agreement (the “Final DIP Order”), secured by, among other things, (a) a first priority lien on all unencumbered tangible and intangible property and assets of the Loan Parties, (b) a first priority, senior priming lien on all prepetition collateral, and (c) all real property owned or leased by the Company or the Guarantors, subject to certain carve outs.

The proceeds from the DIP Financing will be used, subject to the Interim DIP Order and the availabilityFinal DIP Order, for working capital, administrative costs, and premiums and fees associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, payment of financing. We believe that cashcourt-approved prepetition obligations and other purposes such as are consistent with the DIP Credit Agreement or as otherwise approved by the agent and lenders.

The maturity date of the DIP Financing will be the earliest to occur of (a) January 2, 2021, (b) the effective date of a sale of all or substantially all assets of the Debtors and (c) the date upon which any plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation becomes effective. In addition, the DIP Financing is subject to certain repayment events, including, without limitation, 30 days after entry of the Interim DIP Order if the Final DIP Order has not been entered as and when required under the DIP Credit Agreement.

Interest on hand, cash flow from operations and available borrowingsthe outstanding principal amount of the revolving loans under ourthe DIP Credit Agreement will be sufficientpayable monthly in arrears and on the maturity date at a per annum rate equal to fund capitalthe then applicable Eurocurrency Rate plus: (a) with respect to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, 10.00% and (b) with respect to Base Rate Loans, 9.00%. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, at the election of the agent with the written consent of the required lenders or at the written instruction of the required lenders, all obligations under the DIP Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to the then current rate plus an additional 2.0% per annum.

The DIP Financing will be subject to certain covenants, including, without limitation, related to the incurrence of additional debt, liens, the making of investments, the making of restricted payments, limits as set forth in the DIP Budget, and certain bankruptcy-related covenants, in each case as set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement, the Interim DIP Order and the Final DIP Order.

We are exposed to certain risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position and operating results. There have been no other material changes toThe Risk Factors set forth below update the Risk Factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018.2019. The impact of COVID-19 may also exacerbate the risks discussed therein and herein, any of which could have a material effect on the Company.



We are in the process of Chapter 11 reorganization cases under the Bankruptcy Code, which may cause our common stock to decrease in value or may render our common stock worthless.



On August 30, 2020, the Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court. The price of our common stock has been volatile following the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases and may decrease in value or become worthless. Accordingly, any trading in our common stock during the pendency of our Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks to purchasers of our common stock. If a sale of the Company's assets is consummated in the Chapter 11 Cases, it is likely that our existing common stock will be extinguished, and existing equity holders will likely not receive consideration in respect of their existing equity interests.Further, on September 1, 2020, we received written notification from The NASDAQ Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) that it had determined to commence proceedings to delist the common stock of the Company at the opening of business on September 10, 2020, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on such date, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The NASDAQ Stock Market.



Further, delisting of our common stock may adversely impact our liquidity, impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock, impair our ability to raise capital, and the market price of our common stock could decrease. Delisting our common stock could also adversely impact the perception of our financial condition and have additional negative ramifications, including further loss of confidence by our employees, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business opportunities.



As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, we are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with Chapter 11 Cases and operating under Chapter 11 may restrict our ability to pursue strategic and operational initiatives.

For the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, our operations and our ability to execute our business strategy will be subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with bankruptcy. These risks include:

our ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions filed in the Chapter 11 Cases from time to time;
our ability to comply with and operate under the requirements and constraints of the Bankruptcy Code and under any cash management, cash collateral, adequate protection, or other orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court from time to time;
our ability to engage in intercompany transactions and to fund operations from cash on hand or from financings and, in the event of such financings, our ability to comply with the terms of such financings;
our ability to meet the closing conditions and successfully consummate the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement;
our ability to develop, fund, and execute our business plan;
our ability to maintain our relationships with our suppliers, service providers, customers, employees and other third parties;
the high costs of bankruptcy proceedings and related fees;
the actions and decisions of our creditors and other third parties who have interests in the Chapter 11 Cases that may be inconsistent with our plans; and
our ability to maintain contracts that are critical to our operations.

46

Table of Contents
These risks and uncertainties could affect our business and operations in various ways. For example, negative events or publicity associated with the Chapter 11 Cases could adversely affect our relationships with our suppliers, customers and employees. In particular, critical vendors, suppliers, and/or customers may determine not to do business with us due to the Chapter 11 Cases and we may not be successful in securing alternative sources. Also transactions outside the ordinary course of business are subject to the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court, which may limit our ability to respond timely to certain events or take advantage of opportunities. Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with the Chapter 11 Cases, we cannot predict or quantify the ultimate impact that events occurring during the Chapter 11 process may have on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and there is no certainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

If we are not able to consummate the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement under Section 363, we could be required to liquidate under Chapter 7 ("Chapter 7") of the Bankruptcy Code.

On August 30, 2020, the Debtors entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser. Pursuant to the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser will acquire substantially all of the Debtors' assets, including the equity interests of certain of the Debtors' direct subsidiaries under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. If we are unable to consummate a stock and asset purchase, the Bankruptcy Court could convert the Chapter 11 Cases to cases under Chapter 7. In such event, a Chapter 7 trustee would be appointed or elected to liquidate our assets for distribution to creditors in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. We believe that liquidation under Chapter 7 would result in significantly smaller distributions being made to our creditors than those provided for in a Chapter 11 sale because of (i) the likelihood that the assets would have to be sold or otherwise disposed of in a distressed fashion over a short period of time rather than in a controlled manner and as a going concern, (ii) additional administrative expenses involved in the appointment of a Chapter 7 trustee, and (iii) additional expenses and claims, some of which would be entitled to priority, that would be generated during the liquidation and from the rejection of leases and other executory contracts in connection with a cessation of operations.

Operating in bankruptcy for a long period of time may harm our business.

A long period of operations in the Chapter 11 Cases under Bankruptcy Court protection could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity. So long as the Chapter 11 Cases continue, senior management will be required to spend a significant amount of time and effort dealing with the reorganization instead of focusing exclusively on business operations. A prolonged period of operating under Bankruptcy Court protection also may make it more difficult to retain management, other key personnel and employees necessary to the success of our business and we may experience increased levels of employee attrition. A loss of key personnel or material erosion of employee morale could have a materially adverse effect on our ability to meet customer expectations, thereby adversely affecting our business and results of operations. In addition, the longer the Chapter 11 Cases continue, the more likely it is that customers and suppliers will lose confidence in our ability to reorganize our business successfully and will seek to establish alternative commercial relationships.

So long as the Chapter 11 Cases continue, we will be required to incur substantial costs for professional fees and other expenses associated with the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases, including potentially the cost of litigation. In general, litigation can be expensive and time consuming to bring or defend against. Such litigation could result in settlements or damages that could significantly affect our financial results. It is also possible that certain parties will commence litigation with respect to the treatment of their claims under a plan. It is not possible to predict the potential litigation that we may become party to, nor the final resolution of such litigation. The impact of any such litigation on our business and financial stability, however, could be material.

Should the Chapter 11 Cases be protracted, we may also need to seek new financing to fund operations. Although we believe that we will have sufficient liquidity to operate our business during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, there can be no assurance that the cash made available to us under the DIP Credit Agreement and revenue generated by our business operations will be sufficient to fund our operations. In the event that revenue flows and other available cash are not sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements, we may be required to seek additional financing. There can be no assurance that such additional financing would be available or, if available, offered on terms that are acceptable. If we are unable to obtain such financing on favorable terms or at all, the chances of continuing our operations may be seriously jeopardized and the likelihood that we will instead be required to liquidate our assets may increase.

We may be unable to comply with restrictions or other covenants imposed by the agreements governing the DIP Credit Agreement.

The DIP Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for debtor-in-possession financings, which include restrictions on (i) incurring further indebtedness, (ii) liens and guaranties, (iii) liquidations, mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, (iv) disposition of assets or subsidiaries, (v) affiliate transactions, (vi) creation or ownership of certain subsidiaries, partnerships and joint ventures, (vii) continuation of or change in business, (viii) restricted payments, (ix) sanctions and anti-corruption matters, (x) no restriction in agreements on dividends or certain loans, (xi) loans and investments, (xii) transactions with respect to our subsidiaries and (xiii) hedging transactions. In addition, the DIP Credit Agreement contains milestones relating to the Chapter 11 Cases. Our ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by events beyond our control and our failure to comply, or obtain a waiver in the event we cannot comply with a covenant, may result in an event of default under the DIP Credit Agreement and permit the lenders thereunder to accelerate the loans and otherwise exercise remedies allowable by the agreements governing the DIP Facility.

Our Chapter 11 Cases and financial condition may adversely impact our non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates, which may themselves become subject to insolvency proceedings.

We have significant businesses and affiliates that are located outside of the United States. The filing of the Chapter 11 Cases may result in negative consequences to our businesses outside of the United States and our non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates may become subject to insolvency proceedings.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted, and will likely continue to disrupt, our business, which has adversely affected and will likely continue to adversely affect our results of operations, financial position, and cash flow from operations.

In December 2019, COVID-19 was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has since spread throughout the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”.

Pandemics or disease outbreaks, such COVID-19, have disrupted, and may continue to disrupt, automotive industry customer sales and production volumes. Vehicle production, including by our customers, has decreased significantly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and resulted in the shutdown of manufacturing operations. As a result, we have experienced, and will likely continue to experience, reductions in orders from our customers globally. This reduction in orders may be further exacerbated by a global economic downturn resulting from the pandemic which could decrease consumer demand for vehicles or result in the financial distress of one or more of our customers or suppliers. As a result, our future sales volumes and revenue remain highly uncertain.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our financial performance will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the effectiveness of actions to contain the virus or treat its impact and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts on our business and financial performance as a result of its global economic impact, including a recession that has occurred or may occur in the future. Our cash flow from operations, liquidity and financial position could be adversely affected by COVID-19 depending upon the length and severity of the disruption and impact upon our customers, suppliers and our ability to effectively restart production.

Due to the adverse impact of COVID-19, interim tests of goodwill and long-lived assets could result in further impairment.

Due to the significant disruptions caused due to the impact of COVID-19, our profitability has been significantly impacted and the Company has written-down goodwill.  Goodwill represents the excess cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Generally accepted accounting principles require that goodwill and long-lived assets be periodically evaluated for impairment.  In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we periodically assess these assets to determine if they are impaired. Significant negative industry or economic trends, disruptions to our business, inability to effectively integrate acquired businesses, unexpected significant changes or planned changes in use of these assets, changes in the structure of our business, divestitures, market capitalization declines, or increases in associated discount rates may impair our long lived assets. Any charges relating to impairments of goodwill or long-lived assets may adversely affect our results of operations in the periods recognized.  Due to the adverse impact of COVID-19 on our profitability in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2020, the goodwill and long-lived assets were tested for impairment as of April 30, 2020 and July 31, 2020.  Based on the results, we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge for the full remaining amount of the

Table of Contents
goodwill balance for the quarter ended April 30, 2020. We also recognized an impairment of $109,633 on long-lived assets for the quarter ended July 31, 2020. There can be no assurance that we will not recognize further asset impairments in the future.

Deterioration in the capital and credit markets in the United States, Europe and other world economies could harm our customers’ and suppliers’ ability to access the capital markets, which may affect our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Disruptions in the capital and credit markets related to COVID-19 could adversely affect our customers and suppliers by making it increasingly difficult for them to obtain financing for their businesses and for their customers to obtain financing for automobile purchases. Our OEM customers typically require significant financing for their respective businesses. This financing often comes from securitization markets, which experience severe disruptions during global economic crises. Our suppliers, as well as our customers’ suppliers, may face similar difficulties in obtaining financing for their businesses. If capital is not available due to COVID-19 to our customers or suppliers, or if the cost of capital is prohibitively high, their businesses would be adversely affected, which could result in their restructuring or even reorganization or liquidation under applicable bankruptcy laws. Any such adverse effect on our customers or suppliers could materially adversely affect us, either through loss of revenues from any of our customers so affected, or due to our inability to meet our commitments without excessive expense, as a result of disruptions in supply caused by the suppliers so affected. Financial difficulties experienced by any of our major customers could have a material adverse effect on us if such customers were unable to pay for the products we provide or if we experienced a loss of, or material reduction in, business from such customer. As a result of such difficulties, we could experience lost revenues, significant write-offs of accounts receivable, significant impairment charges, or additional restructurings. In addition, severe financial or other difficulties at any of our major suppliers could have a material adverse effect on us if we are unable to obtain on a timely basis and on similar economic terms the quantity and quality of components we require to produce products. Moreover, severe financial or operating difficulties at any automotive vehicle manufacturer or other significant supplier could have a significant disruptive effect on the entire industry, leading to supply chain disruptions and labor unrest, among other things. These disruptions could force OEMs and, in turn, other suppliers, including us, to reduce production or shut down plants.
