MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)

Note 1: Overview

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States applied on a basis consistent with those principles used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements by Modine Manufacturing Company (Modine or the Company) for the year ended March 31, 2011.  The financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.  Results for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in Modine’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011.

Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies

Restricted cash:  At December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the Company had long-term restricted cash of $3,883 and $4,682, respectively, included in other noncurrent assets, consisting of $1,533 and $2,332, respectively, to secure long-term employee compensation arrangements for certain employees in Europe and $2,350 to collateralize insurance liabilities with an insurance carrier in North America.

Joint venture:  During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company completed the formation of its joint venture with OneGene, Inc. to form Modine OneGene Corporation in South Korea.  The Company and OneGene, Inc. each made initial capital contributions of 1,000,000 Korean won ($936 U.S. equivalent) during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.  Modine is considered the primary beneficiary of the joint venture in accordance with applicable consolidation guidance.  Accordingly, the results of Modine OneGene Corporation are consolidated by the Company.

Revision of prior period financial statements:  As described in Note 1 and Note 26 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Modine’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011, the quarterly results for fiscal 2011 have been revised as a result of errors identified during fiscal 2011 which were not considered material individually or in the aggregate to previously issued financial statements but were considered significant to the quarters in which they were identified.  For the three months ended December 31, 2010, cost of goods sold increased $548, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $188, provision for income taxes decreased $297 and earnings from continuing operations decreased $439 as a result of the revisions.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, net sales increased $363, cost of goods sold increased $2,467, gross profit decreased $2,104, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $799, provision for income taxes decreased $158 and earnings from continuing operations decreased $2,745 as a result of the revisions.  For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations and diluted net earnings per share decreased $0.01 and $0.06, respectively, as a result of the revisions.

Accounting standards changes and new accounting pronouncements:  In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued updated guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, which addresses the unit of accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements and revises the method by which consideration is allocated among the units of accounting.  The overall consideration is allocated to each deliverable by establishing a selling price for individual deliverables based on a hierarchy of evidence, including vendor-specific objective evidence, other third party evidence of the selling price, or the reporting entity’s best estimate of the selling price of individual deliverables in the arrangement.  This guidance was effective for the Company on a prospective basis on April 1, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

(unaudited)

In June 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income.  This amendment removes one of the three presentation options for presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and requires either a single continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or a two consecutive statement approach.  This amendment shall be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment.

In September 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for testing goodwill for impairment.  The amendment provides an option for companies to first use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment if certain conditions are met.  If it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, entities must perform the quantitative analysis of the goodwill impairment test.  The amendments are effective for goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company is assessing this new guidance and currently does not anticipate any impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this amendment.
 
Note 3: Employee Benefit Plans

During the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded compensation expense of $994 and $1,076, respectively, related to its defined contribution employee benefit plans.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded compensation expense of $2,879 and $3,084, respectively, related to its defined contribution employee benefit plans.

During the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company elected to contribute $2,150 and $2,529, respectively, to its U.S. pension plans.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company elected to contribute $9,350 and $14,628, respectively, to its U.S. pension plans.

Note 4: Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation consists of stock options, restricted stock granted for retention and performance and discretionary unrestricted stock.  Compensation is calculated based on the fair value of the instrument at the time of grant, and is recognized as expense over the vesting period of the stock-based instrument.  Modine recognized stock-based compensation cost of $941 and $687 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Modine recognized stock-based compensation cost of $3,519 and $3,203 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The performance component of awards granted under the long-term incentive plan during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 is based on a target return on average capital employed (ROACE) and a target improvement in economic profit at the end of the three year performance period.  ROACE is defined as net earnings, adding back after-tax interest expense and adjusted to exclude unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary non-cash charges and cash restructuring and repositioning charges in excess of $4,000; divided by the average total debt plus shareholders’ equity.  Economic profit is defined as ROACE minus a fixed weighted average cost of capital, multiplied by total debt plus shareholders’ equity.

The following tables present, by type, the fair market value of stock-based compensation awards granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

  $ (1,667 )   $ 179     $ (7,552 )   $ 2,191  

Foreign currency transactions for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were primarily comprised of foreign currency transaction (losses) gains on inter-company loans and other transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

Note 6: Income Taxes

For the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s effective income tax rate attributable to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes was 31.0 percent and 16.9 percent, respectively.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s effective tax rate attributable to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes was 30.7 percent and 144.5 percent, respectively.

The most significant factors impacting changes in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to prior periods were changes in the valuation allowance for certain foreign losses for which no benefit is recognized and the changing mix of foreign and domestic earnings.  During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company continued to record a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets located in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions as it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized based on historical performance.  One of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries has an $846 valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as a result of its cumulative loss position.  The potential release of its valuation allowance may occur within the next fiscal year.

Accounting policies for interim reporting require the Company to adjust its effective tax rate each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate.  Under this effective tax rate methodology, the Company applies an estimated annual income tax rate to its year-to-date ordinary earnings to derive its income tax provision each quarter.  The tax impact of certain significant, unusual or infrequently occurring items must be recorded in the interim period in which they occur. For the nine months ended December 31, 2011, the U.S. taxing jurisdiction had year-to-date pre-tax earnings and is also forecasting pre-tax earnings for the full fiscal year.  As a result, the U.S. taxing jurisdiction is no longer considered on a discrete basis but is included in the overall annual effective tax rate methodology.  The impact of the Company’s operations in Germany, Austria and certain other foreign locations continue to be excluded from the overall effective tax rate methodology and recorded discretely based upon year-to-date results as these operations anticipate net operating losses for the year for which no tax benefit can be recognized.  The income taxes for the Company’s other foreign operations continue to be estimated under the overall effective tax rate methodology.

During fiscal 2005, a German lower court ruling disallowed certain deductions for trade tax purposes.  Based on this ruling, the Company established an uncertain tax position contingency for additional trade tax liability and interest.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the German Supreme Court affirmed the lower court finding.  As a result, the uncertain tax position contingency was reversed and amended tax returns for the fiscal years 2005 through 2010 were filed resulting in an income tax payable for taxes and interest owed of $2,671.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2011, a benefit for income taxes of $73 was recorded based on the finalization of the amended tax returns.

The gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits increased during the quarter by $1,650. This had a minimal impact on the effective tax rate as the majority of the liability relates to taxing jurisdictions with a valuation allowance.  The Company does not anticipate the gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next twelve months other than that which will result from the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation.  The Company files income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world.  During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company was notified of a tax audit in Germany commencing in fiscal year 2013 covering fiscal years 2006 through 2010.

Note 13: Indebtedness

The Company has $125,000 outstanding on 6.83 percent Senior Notes, maturing on August 12, 2020.  As of December 31, 2011, the Company also had $12,000 outstanding under its $145,000 domestic revolving credit facility, which expires in August 2014.  At March 31, 2011, the Company had $6,500 outstanding on this domestic revolving credit facility.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, the Company entered into the current $125,000 Senior Notes, the proceeds of which were used to repay the then existing Senior Notes.  The Company recognized a loss of $17,866 on early extinguishment of debt as a component of interest expense, which included the prepayment penalty of $16,570 and $1,296 of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Provisions contained in the Company’s revolving credit facility and Senior Note agreements require the Company to maintain compliance with various covenants.  The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of December 31, 2011.

Modine also maintained credit agreements with foreign banks at December 31, 2011.  The Company has $4,628 outstanding under these credit agreements.  There was no amount outstanding under such credit agreements at March 31, 2011.

At December 31, 2011, the Company had $133,000 available for future borrowings under the domestic revolving credit facility.  In addition to this revolving credit facility, unused lines of credit also exist in Europe, Brazil and China, totaling $46,558.

The fair value of long-term debt is estimated by discounting future cash flows at rates offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities.  At December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the carrying value of Modine’s long-term debt approximated fair value, with the exception of the Senior Notes, which had a fair value of approximately $114,800 and $121,463 at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively.

At December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the Company had short-term debt of $15,901 and $8,825, respectively, primarily consisting of short-term borrowings at foreign locations.

Note 14: Financial Instruments

Concentrations of Credit Risk: The Company invests excess cash in investment quality short-term liquid debt instruments.  Such investments are made only in instruments issued by high quality institutions. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable.  The Company sells a broad range of products that provide thermal solutions to a diverse group of customers operating throughout the world.  At December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, approximately 45 percent and 47 percent, respectively, of the Company's trade accounts receivables were from the Company's top ten individual customers.  These customers operate primarily in the automotive, truck and heavy equipment markets and are all influenced by many of the same market and general economic factors.  To reduce credit risk, the Company performs periodic customer credit evaluations and actively monitors their financial condition and developing business news.  The Company does not generally require collateral or advanced payments from its customers, but does so in those cases where a substantial credit risk is identified.  Credit losses to customers operating in the markets served by the Company have not been material.  Total bad debt write-offs have been below one percent of outstanding trade receivable balances for the presented periods.  See Note 19 for further discussion on market, credit and counterparty risks.

MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY

Inter-Company Loans Denominated in Foreign Currencies:  The Company has certain foreign-denominated long-term inter-company loans that are sensitive to foreign exchange rates outstanding at December 31, 2011 as follows:

 
·
$12,000 between two loans to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal Systems (Changzhou) Co. Ltd. (Changzhou, China), with various maturity dates through June 2012;
 
·
$1,300 between two loans to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal Systems Korea, with various maturity dates through April 2012; and
 
·
$1,745 receivable with its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine do Brazil Sistemas Terminos Ltda. (Modine Brazil).

These inter-company loans are sensitive to movement in foreign exchange rates, and the Company does not have any derivative instruments to hedge this exposure at December 31, 2011.

Note 15: Derivatives/Hedges

Modine uses derivative financial instruments from time to time as a tool to manage certain financial risks.  Their use has been restricted primarily to hedging assets and obligations already held by Modine, and they have been used to protect cash flows rather than generate income or engage in speculative activity.  Leveraged derivatives are prohibited by Company policy.

Accounting for derivatives and hedging activities requires derivative financial instruments to be measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.  Accounting for the gain or loss resulting from the change in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments depends on whether it has been designed, and is effective, as a hedge and, if so, on the nature of the hedging activity.

Commodity derivatives:  The Company enters into futures contracts related to certain of the Company’s forecasted purchases of aluminum and copper.  The Company’s strategy in entering into these contracts is to reduce its exposure to changing purchase prices for future purchases of these commodities.  These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges by the Company.  Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (AOCI) and recognized as a component of earnings at the same time that the underlying purchases of aluminum and copper impact earnings.

Interest rate derivatives: In conjunction with the repayment of then existing Senior Notes during the nine months ended December 31, 2010, the remaining unamortized balance for interest rate derivatives of $1,606 was reflected as a component of interest expense.

Foreign exchange contracts:  The Company maintains a foreign exchange risk management strategy that uses derivative financial instruments in a limited way to mitigate foreign currency exchange risk.  The Company periodically enters into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge specific foreign currency-denominated transactions and foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities.  The effect of this practice is to minimize the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on the Company’s earnings and projected cash flows.  The Company has not designated its forward contracts as hedges.  Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses related to the change in fair value are recorded in other expense (income) – net.  The Company’s foreign currency exchange contracts do not subject it to significant risk due to exchange rate movements because gains and losses on these contracts are offset by changes due to foreign currency fluctuations of the underlying assets and liabilities.

Note 16: Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

 
·
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
 
·
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.
 
·
Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.

When available, the Company used quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such measurements within Level 1.  In some cases, where market prices are not available, the Company makes use of observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2.  If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates, yield curves, currency rates, etc.  These measurements are classified within Level 3.

Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation.  A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.

Trading securities
The Company’s trading securities are a mix of various investments maintained in a deferred compensation trust to fund future obligations under the Company’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan.  The securities’ fair values are the market values from active markets (such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)) and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  The fair values of money market investments have been determined to approximate their net asset values, with no discounts for credit quality or liquidity restrictions and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.  These short term investments are included in other current assets.

Derivative financial instruments
As part of the Company’s risk management strategy, Modine enters into derivative transactions to mitigate certain identified exposures.  The derivative instruments include commodity derivatives and foreign currency exchange contracts.  These are not exchange traded and are customized over-the-counter derivative transactions.  These derivative exposures are with counterparties that have long-term credit ratings of BBB- or better.

The Company measures fair value assuming that the unit of account is an individual derivative transaction and those derivatives are sold or transferred on a stand-alone basis.  Therefore, derivative assets and liabilities are presented on a gross basis without consideration of master netting arrangements.  The Company estimates the fair value of these derivative instruments based on dealer quotes as the dealer is willing to settle at the quoted prices.  These derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Deferred compensation obligation
The fair value of the deferred compensation obligation is recorded at the fair value of the investments held by the deferred compensation trust.  As noted above, the fair values are the market values directly from active markets (such as the NYSE) and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  The fair values of money market investments have been determined to approximate their net asset values, with no discounts for credit quality or liquidity restrictions and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Note 19: Contingencies and Litigation

Market risk:  The Company sells a broad range of products that provide thermal solutions to a diverse group of customers operating primarily in the commercial vehicle, off-highway, automotive and commercial heating and air conditioning markets.  The Company operates in diversified markets as a strategy for offsetting the risk associated with a downturn in any one or more of the markets it serves.  The Company pursues new market opportunities after careful consideration of the potential associated risks and benefits.  Successes in new markets are dependent upon the Company’s ability to commercialize its investments.  Current examples of new and emerging markets for Modine include those related to waste heat recovery and expansion into the Chinese and Indian markets.  However, the risk associated with any market downturn, such as the downturn experienced in fiscal 2009 and 2010, is still present.

Credit risk:  The Company manages credit risks through its focus on the following:

 
·
Cash and investments – reviewing cash deposits and short-term investments to ensure banks have credit ratings acceptable to the Company and that all short-term investments are maintained in secured or guaranteed instruments;

MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)

 
·
Pension assets – ensuring that investments within these plans provide reasonable diversification, monitoring of investment teams and ensuring that portfolio managers are adhering to the Company’s investment policies and directives, and ensuring that exposure to high risk securities and other similar assets is limited; and
 
·
Insurance – ensuring that insurance providers have acceptable financial ratings to the Company.

Counterparty risks:  The Company manages counterparty risks through its focus on the following:

 
·
Customers – performing thorough reviews of customer credit reports and accounts receivable aging reports by internal credit committees;
 
·
Suppliers – implementing a supplier risk management program and utilizing industry sources to identify and mitigate high risk situations; and
 
·
Derivatives – ensuring that counterparties to derivative instruments have acceptable credit ratings to the Company.

Trade Compliance:  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company determined that it was not in compliance with certain trade regulations related to import and export activity between its warehouse in Laredo, Texas and its plant in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.  The Company believes that the trade regulation issues are limited to operations at the Laredo warehouse and the Nuevo Laredo plant.  As part of the investigation process, the Company has disclosed these trade compliance issues to certain government agencies and has fully cooperated with these agencies in their review, if any.  At March 31, 2011, the Company had an estimated liability for the trade regulation issues of $4,528, which consisted of an estimate for unpaid duties, potential interest and penalties which may be levied against the Company by the government agencies.  The Company made a voluntary payment of $2,090 to one government agency during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and the agency subsequently closed the matter, with no expectation of further investigation.  During the three months ended December 31, 2011, a second government agency closed the matter with no payment required, and the Company reduced the liability by $2,308 within selling, general and administrative expenses.  At December 31, 2011, the Company had a reserve of $131 for potential remaining trade compliance regulation issues.

Environmental: At present, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“USEPA”) has designated the Company as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for remediation of six sites with which the Company had involvement.  These sites include: Auburn Incinerator, Inc./Lake Calumet Cluster (Illinois), Cam-Or (Indiana), a scrap metal site known as Chemetco (Illinois), Circle Environmental of Dawson (two sites: Dawson, GA and Terrell County, GA), and LWD, Inc. (Kentucky).  In addition, Modine is voluntarily participating in the care of an inactive landfill owned by the City of Trenton (Missouri).  These sites are not Company-owned and allegedly contain materials attributable to Modine from past operations.  The percentage of material allegedly attributable to Modine is relatively low.  Remediation of these sites is in various stages of administrative or judicial proceedings and includes recovery of past governmental costs and the costs of future investigations and remedial actions.  Costs anticipated for the remedial settlement of these sites are either not probable or cannot be reasonably determined at this time; however, the Company does not believe any costs are material and has not accrued any such costs based upon Modine’s relatively small portion of contributed materials.

MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)

The Company actively monitors and addresses environmental issues and has recorded environmental investigation and remediation expense accruals for groundwater contamination at its manufacturing facility in Brazil and subsurface contamination at its former manufacturing facility in the Netherlands, along with other lesser issues at certain facilities located in the United States.  These expenditures generally relate to facilities where past operations followed practices and procedures that were considered acceptable under then existing regulations, or where the Company is a successor to the obligations of prior owners and current laws and regulations require investigative and/or remedial work to ensure sufficient environmental compliance.  The reserves for these environmental matters totaled $6,890 and $7,371 at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively.  During the three months ended December 31, 2011, additional reserves of $10 were recorded as a component of continuing operations and reductions to the reserves of $80 were recorded as a component of discontinued operations.  During the three months ended December 31, 2010, additional reserves of $1,765 were recorded as a component of continuing operations.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2011, additional reserves of $874 were recorded as a component of continuing operations and reductions to the reserves of $566 were recorded as a component of discontinued operations.  During the nine months ended December 31, 2010, additional reserves of $1,765 were recorded as a component of continuing operations and additional reserves of $3,005 were recorded as a component of discontinued operations.  Certain of these matters are covered by various insurance policies; however, the Company does not record any insurance recoveries until they are realized or realizable.  As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary.  Based on currently available information, Modine believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or overall trends in results of operations.  However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could occur, including significant monetary damages.  During fiscal 2011, one of the adjacent businesses to the operation in Brazil filed suit against Modine’s Brazilian subsidiary seeking remediation and certain other damages as a result of the contamination.  The Company is defending this suit and believes that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not be material.

Other litigation:  In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in various other lawsuits and enforcement proceedings by private parties, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, USEPA, other governmental agencies and others in which claims are asserted against the Company.  At December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the Company did not have an accrual related to any such matters that were not deemed probable.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

When we use the terms “Modine,” “we,” “us,” the “Company,” or “our” in this report, unless the context otherwise requires, we are referring to Modine Manufacturing Company.  Our fiscal year ends on March 31 and, accordingly, all references to quarters refer to our fiscal quarters.  The quarter ended December 31, 2011 is the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

Third Quarter Highlights:  Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 improved from the third quarter of fiscal 2011, driven by increases in overall sales volumes within the commercial vehicle and off-highway markets in North America, South America and Asia as well as in our Commercial Products segment.  Gross profit improved with these increased sales volumes.  Gross margin improved as a result of better fixed cost absorption on the higher sales volumes.  Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased from the third quarter of fiscal 2011 to the third quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily due to lower management compensation expense and the reversal of a reserve related to a trade compliance issue that was successfully resolved.  Income from operations improved significantly during the third quarter of fiscal 2012, as a result of the increased sales volumes and reduced SG&A expenses.  During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we reported earnings from continuing operations of approximately $8 million.

Year-To-Date Highlights:  Net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2012 increased substantially compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2011 due to an overall sales volume increase, particularly within the commercial vehicle and off-highway markets.  Gross profit improved with these increased sales volumes.  SG&A expenses increased year over year, primarily resulting from reinvestment in the business.  However, SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales decreased as our rate of growth in sales exceeded the rate of growth in SG&A expenses.  Income from operations improved as a result of the sales growth and improved gross profit.  Interest expense includes costs related to the long-term debt refinancing completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2011.  Our income from continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 was an improvement of approximately $25 million from a loss from continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2011.

Comparison of Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

Third quarter net sales of $373.3 million were 3.7 percent higher than the $360.0 million reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 driven by increases in overall sales volumes within the commercial vehicle and off-highway markets in North America, South America and Asia as well as in our Commercial Products segment.  The sales volume increases were partially offset by a $3.6 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Commercial vehicle and off-highway sales improved approximately 16 percent and 6 percent, respectively, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2011.

Gross profit increased $3.2 million, or 5.7 percent, from the third quarter of fiscal 2011 to the third quarter of fiscal 2012 on the increased sales volumes, partially offset by a $0.6 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Gross margin improved 30 basis points to 16.0 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 due to operating efficiencies on the increased sales volumes.

SG&A expenses decreased $3.9 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2011 to the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and decreased 150 basis points to 11.7 percent of sales.  The decrease in SG&A expenses is due primarily to lower management compensation expense, a $2.3 million reversal of a successfully resolved trade compliance liability successfully resolved and the absence of a $1.8 million environmental remediation charge recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 within the South America segment.  A loss on disposal of assets of $2.2 million was recorded within the Original Equipment – Europe segment during the third quarter of fiscal 2012.  A long-lived asset impairment charge of $1.3 million was recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2011, primarily related to facilities held for sale within the Original Equipment – North America segment, due to a continued decline in the commercial real estate market.     

Income from operations improved $7.1 million from $9.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 to $16.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily as a result of the higher sales volumes and resulting improvement in gross margins and the reduced SG&A costs.

Other expense of $1.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 represents a $1.8 million decrease from other income of $0.2 million from the same period last year.  Third quarter fiscal 2012 included $2.1 million of foreign currency losses on inter-company loans and other transactions denominated in foreign currencies.  Third quarter fiscal 2011 results included $0.1 million of foreign currency losses on inter-company loans and other transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

Provision for income taxes of $3.7 million recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 represents an effective tax rate of 31.0 percent.  This compares to a $1.1 million provision for income taxes recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2011, which represented an effective tax rate of 16.9 percent.  Changes in the valuation allowance related to certain foreign losses for which no benefit has been recognized and the changing mix of foreign and domestic earnings impacted the effective tax rate year over year.

Earnings from continuing operations of $8.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was an improvement of $2.4 million from the earnings from continuing operations of $5.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.  In addition, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.17 for the third quarter of fiscal 2012 was an improvement from diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.12 in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.  These improvements are primarily related to the higher sales volumes and resulting improved gross margins and the reduction in SG&A expenses.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

Fiscal 2012 year-to-date net sales of $1,188.4 million were $136.9 million higher than the $1,051.5 million reported in the same period last year, driven by overall sales volume improvements and a $41.5 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Commercial vehicle and off-highway sales increased approximately 25 percent and 12 percent, respectively, compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2011.

 
25


Fiscal 2012 year-to-date gross profit increased $19.9 million from the same period last year.  The gross profit improvement was driven by the overall increase in sales, along with a $6.3 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Gross margin decreased 20 basis points from 16.3 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 to 16.1 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 2012.  Fiscal 2011 year-to-date gross margin benefited from a $2.1 million postretirement curtailment gain recorded in our Original Equipment – North America segment.
 
Fiscal 2012 year-to-date SG&A expenses increased $6.7 million from the same period last year, primarily due to our reinvestment in the business, including higher employee benefits, such as salary increases and increased headcount, a $2.2 million loss on disposal of assets and a $3.7 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  During the first nine months of fiscal 2011, a gain of $2.2 million was recorded in SG&A expenses related to the sale of a German facility and impairment charges of $2.5 million within the Original Equipment – Europe and Original Equipment – Asia segments due to a program cancellation and the Original Equipment – North America segment on facilities held for sale due to a continued decline in the commercial real estate market.  SG&A expenses decreased 100 basis points as a percentage of sales as sales grew at a faster rate than SG&A expenses.

Fiscal 2012 year-to-date interest expense decreased $21.0 million over the same period last year, as the prior year included $20.0 million of costs related to the debt refinancing completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Fiscal 2012 year-to-date other expense of $7.6 million represents a $9.7 million decrease from other income of $2.1 million for the same period last year.  The decrease was due to foreign currency exchange losses on inter-company loans denominated in a foreign currency as well as other unfavorable impacts of foreign currency exchange rate changes.

Provision for income taxes of $9.6 million was recorded during the first nine months of fiscal 2012, which represents an effective tax rate of 30.7 percent.  This compares to a $10.0 million provision for income taxes recorded during the first nine months of fiscal 2011, which represented an effective tax rate of 144.5 percent.  The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily related to foreign tax rate differentials, changes in the valuation allowance and the changing mix of foreign and domestic earnings.
 
Earnings from continuing operations of $21.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 represents a $24.9 million improvement from the prior year.  Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations improved from a $0.07 diluted loss per share in the prior year to $0.46 diluted earnings per share in the current year.  The increased sales volumes and the absence of costs associated with the long-term debt refinancing were the primary drivers of this improvement.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the first nine months of fiscal 2012, we reported $0.7 million of income as a component of earnings (loss) from discontinued operations due to a reduction of the environmental reserve related to a facility in the Netherlands that was sold as part of the spin off of our Aftermarket business in 2005.  During the first nine months of fiscal 2011, we recorded $3.0 million of environmental cleanup and remediation expenses as a component of earnings (loss) from discontinued operations related to this same facility.

The Original Equipment – Asia segment remains in the expansion phase and is currently launching numerous programs.  Net sales increased $4.0 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2011 to the third quarter of fiscal 2012, primarily due to increased program launch activity within the off-highway market in China and the commercial vehicle market in India.  Gross margin decreased from 7.6 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 to 6.2 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 due to a change in product mix and product transfer costs between facilities.  The loss from continuing operations increased $0.6 million over the periods presented due to our investment in growth in this segment.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

Original Equipment – Asia year-to-date net sales increased $20.5 million from the same period last year due to increased program launch activity within the off-highway markets in China and Korea and the commercial vehicle market in India.  Gross margin improved to 10.0 percent for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 from a gross margin of 7.5 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2011.  SG&A expenses increased $2.0 million from the first nine months of fiscal 2011 to the first nine months of fiscal 2012 as a result of our investment in growth in this segment.  A long-lived asset impairment charge of $0.3 million was recorded in SG&A expenses during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 related to a program cancellation.  The loss from continuing operations of $1.4 million represents a $1.1 million improvement from the prior year based on the sales growth and gross margin improvement.

South America net sales increased $5.8 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2011 to the third quarter of fiscal 2012, due to increased sales volumes within the commercial vehicle and off-highway markets, partially offset by a $2.5 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Sales benefited from the pre-buy of commercial vehicles ahead of the calendar 2012 change in emissions standards in Brazil.  Gross margin of 18.6 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 represents a 50 basis point decrease from 19.1 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 due primarily to higher commodity costs year over year.  SG&A expenses decreased $2.0 million largely due to the absence of an environmental cleanup and remediation charge of $1.8 million recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2011.  Income from continuing operations increased $2.8 million over the periods presented due to the reduced SG&A costs.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

South America fiscal 2012 year-to-date net sales increased $23.7 million from the same period last year, due to increased sales volumes within the commercial vehicle and off-highway markets and in the aftermarket business, and a favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $6.1 million.  Gross margin decreased from 20.4 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2011 to 18.6 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 due to higher commodity costs year over year and the negative foreign currency impact on export and aftermarket sales sold in U.S. dollars.  SG&A expenses increased $2.5 million due to personnel matters, an $0.8 million environmental remediation charge and higher freight costs.  Income from continuing operations decreased $0.2 million to $9.8 million from the first nine months of fiscal 2011 to the first nine months of fiscal 2012 based on the lower gross margin and increased SG&A costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operating activities and borrowings under lines of credit provided by banks in the United States and abroad.  See Note 13 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our debt agreements.

Debt Covenants

Our debt agreements require us to maintain compliance with various covenants.  The Company is subject to an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to interest expense (interest expense coverage ratio) covenant and a debt to adjusted EBITDA (leverage ratio) covenant.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations before interest expense and provision for income taxes, adjusted to exclude unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary non-cash charges and up to $40.0 million of cash restructuring and repositioning charges, not to exceed $20.0 million in any fiscal year, and further adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered, an alternative to earnings from continuing operations as determined by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and our calculation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

The Company is required to maintain the interest expense coverage ratio and leverage ratio covenants based on the following:

 
Interest Expense Coverage Ratio Covenant (Not Permitted to Be Less Than):
 
Leverage Ratio Covenant (Not Permitted to Be Greater Than):
Fiscal quarter ending on or before August 12, 2014
3.00 to 1.0
 
3.25 to 1.0
All fiscal quarters ending thereafter
3.00 to 1.0
 
3.00 to 1.0

Our adjusted EBITDA for the four consecutive quarters ended December 31, 2011 was $115.0 million.  The following table presents a calculation of adjusted EBITDA:

New Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, which addresses the unit of accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements and revises the method by which consideration is allocated among the units of accounting.  The overall consideration is allocated to each deliverable by establishing a selling price for individual deliverables based on a hierarchy of evidence, including vendor-specific objective evidence, other third party evidence of the selling price, or the reporting entity’s best estimate of the selling price of individual deliverables in the arrangement.  This guidance is effective for us on a prospective basis on or after April 1, 2011.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income.  This amendment removes one of the three presentation options for presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and requires either a single continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or a two consecutive statement approach.   This amendment shall be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  We are currently evaluating the impact of this amendment.

In September 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for testing goodwill for impairment.  The amendment provides an option for companies to first use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment if certain conditions are met.  If it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, entities must perform the quantitative analysis of the goodwill impairment test.  The amendments are effective for goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  We are assessing this new guidance and currently do not anticipate any impact on the consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this amendment.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 (2011 Form 10-K).  We are currently unable to determine the impact on our contractual obligations from the ultimate timing of settlement of the gross liability for uncertain tax positions, which was $2.9 million as of December 31, 2011.

Outlook

Our expectations for fiscal year 2012 results include an 8 to 10 percent increase in net sales compared to our fiscal 2011 results.  In North America, we expect continued recovery in the commercial vehicle markets and slight improvement in off-highway markets, which are partially offset by reduced volumes in the automotive sector as the Company exits certain non-strategic programs.  Asia sales are flattening as program launches are being impacted by the slowing off-highway market in China.  We anticipate slowing improvement in the commercial vehicle and off-highway markets in Europe and modest improvement in our commercial products market.  South America sales have benefited to-date from a pre-buy of commercial vehicles ahead of the calendar 2012 change in emissions standards, and fourth quarter sales are expected to soften after adoption of this emission change.  We expect that the positive impact of the sales volume improvements on our results from operations will result in operating income in a range of 4.1 to 4.5 percent of sales.  Further, we expect diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $0.70 to $0.75 and capital spending in the range of $70 to $75 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains statements, including information about future financial performance, accompanied by phrases such as “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “intends,” and other similar “forward-looking” statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Modine’s actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements, because of certain risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A. in Part I. of the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K.  Other risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

Operational Risks:

·
The efficient deployment of resources to meet increasing demand for the Company’s products;

·
The impact of operational inefficiencies as a result of program launches and product transfers;

·
Modine’s ability to maintain current programs and compete effectively for new business, including its ability to offset or otherwise address increasing pricing pressures from its competitors and price reduction pressures from its customers;

·
Costs and other effects of the remediation of environmental contamination;

·
Modine’s ability to obtain profitable business at its facilities in the low cost countries of China, Hungary, Mexico and India and to meet applicable quality standards with products produced at these facilities;

·
Unanticipated problems with suppliers meeting Modine’s time, quality and price demands;

·
Modine’s ability to successfully implement restructuring plans and drive cost reductions and increased gross margins as a result;

·
Unanticipated delays or modifications initiated by major customers with respect to product applications or requirements;

·
Unanticipated product or manufacturing difficulties, including unanticipated launch challenges and warranty claims;

·
Work stoppages or interference at Modine’s facilities or those of its major customers and/or suppliers; and

 
33


·
Costs and other effects of unanticipated litigation or claims, and the increasing pressures associated with rising healthcare and insurance costs.

Market Risks:

·
Economic, social and political conditions, changes and challenges in the markets where Modine operates and competes, including currency exchange rate fluctuations (particularly the value of the euro and Brazilian real relative to the U.S. dollar), tariffs, inflation, changes in interest rates, recession, and restrictions associated with importing and exporting and foreign ownership, and in particular the recent slowing of certain markets in China and the economic uncertainties in the European Union;

·
The impact on Modine of increases in commodity prices, particularly Modine’s exposure to the changing prices of aluminum, copper, steel and stainless steel (nickel);

·
Modine’s ability or inability to pass increasing commodity prices on to customers as well as the inherent lag in timing of such pass-through pricing; and

·
The impact of environmental laws and regulations on Modine’s business and the business of Modine’s customers, including Modine’s ability to take advantage of opportunities to supply alternative new technologies to meet environmental emissions standards.

Financial Risks:

·
Modine’s ability to fund its liquidity requirements and meet its long-term commitments in the event of any renewed disruption in the credit markets; and

·
Modine’s ability to realize future tax benefits.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company’s market risk disclosures have not materially changed since the 2011 Form 10-K was filed, except as it relates to hedging and foreign currency exchange contracts discussed below.  The Company’s quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are incorporated by reference in Item 7A. of Part II. of the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K.

Hedging and Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Company selectively uses derivative financial instruments as a tool to manage certain financial risks.  Their use has been restricted primarily to hedging assets and obligations already held by Modine, and they have been used to protect cash flows rather than generate income or engage in speculative activity.  Leveraged derivatives are prohibited by Company policy.

Foreign exchange contracts: Modine maintains a foreign exchange risk management strategy that uses derivative financial instruments in a limited way to mitigate foreign currency exchange risk.  We periodically enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge specific foreign currency-denominated transactions and foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.  The effect of this practice is to minimize the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on our earnings and projected cash flows.  The Company has not designated its forward contracts as hedges.  Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses related to the change in fair value are recorded in other expense (income) – net.  Modine’s foreign currency exchange contracts do not subject it to significant risk due to exchange rate movements because gains and losses on these contracts are offset by changes due to foreign currency fluctuations of the underlying assets and liabilities being hedged.

 
34


During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we entered into forward contracts to mitigate a portion of the foreign currency exposure on an inter-company receivable with Modine Brazil and foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities of Modine Hungaria Gep. Kft.  Refer to Note 15 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation Regarding Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, at the direction of the General Counsel and under the supervision of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), with the participation of the Company’s management. Based upon that evaluation and the identification of material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as described in the 2011 Form 10-K, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of December 31, 2011.

As more fully set forth in Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” of the 2011 Form 10-K, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2011 because of the existence, at that date, of identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Company has taken the following steps during the first nine months of fiscal 2012 to begin to remediate the material weaknesses noted in Item 9A. of the 2011 Form 10-K:

Interim inventory management deficiencies that aggregate to a material weakness in the Original Equipment – North America segment (including the Nuevo Laredo, Mexico facility previously included in the Commercial Products segment).

 
·
All Company-owned inventories held at off-site locations were confirmed at quarter ends;
 
·
Monthly inventory analytical reviews were performed for each facility, at which fluctuations in inventory balances by product, aging of inventory parts and all material inventory adjustments were assessed;
 
·
Physical inventory counts were performed at certain manufacturing facilities during the first nine months of fiscal 2012;
 
·
Cycle count procedures were implemented at certain manufacturing facilities; and
 
·
Quarterly inventory variance analyses were performed that included a review of inventory levels by category and product details.

Additional remediation steps as noted in Item 9A. of the 2011 Form 10-K will continue to be implemented in fiscal 2012.

Trade compliance deficiency at the Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and Laredo, Texas facilities (previously included in the Commercial Products segment).

 
·
The Company has obtained the majority of certificates of origin for all new products that are qualified under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in accordance with regulatory requirements and has resumed NAFTA claims for products that qualify;
 
·
The Company conducted a review of several recent NAFTA claims filed by our customs broker, and determined that the items claimed as NAFTA-qualifying had, in fact, been qualified;
 
·
The Company is continuing efforts to qualify additional and new part numbers;

 
35


 
·
The Company is in the process of drafting standard work instructions that will be included in an import compliance manual and an export compliance manual for its Laredo, Texas warehouse, as well as an import compliance manual and export compliance manual for its Nuevo Laredo, Mexico facility;
 
·
The Company held training on certain U.S. customs requirements at its global headquarters in Racine, Wisconsin and at the Nuevo Laredo, Mexico manufacturing facility, as well as training on certain of the standard work instructions at the Nuevo Laredo, Mexico facility;
 
·
The Company entered the U.S. customs reconciliation program; and
 
·
The Company hired a Distribution Center Manager with trade compliance experience at its Laredo, Texas warehouse facility.

Additional remediation steps as noted in Item 9A. of the 2011 Form 10-K will continue to be implemented in fiscal 2012.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the third quarter of fiscal 2012 there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
