Modine is
a global leader in thermal management technology, serving the vehicular,
industrial, commercial, building HVAC&R (heating, ventilating, air
conditioning and refrigeration) and fuel cell markets. Modine
develops, manufactures, and markets thermal management products, components and
systems for use in various original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) applications
and to a wide array of building and other commercial markets. Our
primary customers across the globe are:
- Truck,
automobile, bus, and specialty vehicle OEMs;
-
Agricultural and construction OEMs;
- Heating
and cooling OEMs;
-
Construction contractors;
-
Wholesalers of plumbing and heating equipment; and
- Fuel
cell manufacturers.
In
layman’s terms, when we discuss thermal management, we are talking about
products, such as radiators, charge air coolers and oil coolers, that use a
medium (air or liquid) to cool the heat that is produced by a vehicle
engine. In addition, we also produce systems for maintaining vehicle
passenger comfort which include components such as evaporators and
condensers. We supply equipment for the temperature control needs of
public and commercial buildings.
History
Modine
was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wisconsin on June 23, 1916 by
its founder, Arthur B. Modine. Mr. Modine’s “Spirex” radiators became
standard equipment on the famous Ford Motor Company Model T. When he
died at the age of 95, A.B. Modine had been granted a total of 120 U.S. patents
for heat transfer innovations. The standard of innovation exemplified
by A.B. Modine remains the cornerstone of Modine today.
Terms;
Year References
When we
use the terms “Modine,” “we,” “us,” the “Company,” or “our” in this report,
unless the context requires otherwise, we are referring to Modine Manufacturing
Company and its subsidiaries. Our fiscal year ends on March
31. All references to a particular year mean the fiscal year ended
March 31 of that year, unless indicated otherwise.
Business
Strategy and Results
Modine
focuses on thermal management leadership and highly engineered product and
service innovations for diversified, global markets and customers. We
are committed to enhancing our presence around the world and serving our
customers where they are located. We create value by focusing on
customer partnerships and providing innovative solutions for our customers'
thermal problems.
Modine’s
strategy for improved profitability is grounded in diversifying our markets and
customer base, differentiating our products and services, and partnering with
customers on global OEM platforms. Modine’s top five customers are in
three different markets – automotive, truck and off-highway – and its ten
largest customers accounted for approximately 57 percent of the Company’s fiscal
2008 sales, as compared to 64 percent in fiscal 2007. In fiscal 2008,
70 percent of total revenues were generated from sales to customers outside of
the U.S., 65 percent of which were generated by Modine’s international
operations and 5 percent of which were generated by exports from the
U.S. In fiscal 2007, 59 percent of total revenues were generated from
sales to customers outside of the U.S., with 54 percent generated by Modine’s
international operations and 5 percent generated by exports from the
U.S.
During
fiscal 2008, the Company achieved record revenue from continuing operations of
$1.85 billion, a 7 percent improvement from $1.72 billion in fiscal
2007. Sales volumes were positively affected by strong foreign
volumes in Europe and Brazil, as well as steady growth in our Commercial
Products business. The loss from continuing operations of $65.5
million, or a loss of $2.05 per fully diluted share in fiscal 2008, was down
from earnings from continuing operations of $38.9 million, or earnings of $1.21
per fully diluted share in fiscal 2007. The decrease in earnings from
continuing operations was driven by a decline in gross margins related to weak
North American truck volumes, manufacturing inefficiencies experienced as part
of plant closures and consolidations and pricing pressure from
customers. In addition, impairment charges of $47.4 million were
recorded primarily in North America and South Korea due to reduced outlook for
these businesses. During fiscal 2008, the Company recorded a
valuation allowance of $64.6 million primarily against the net deferred tax
assets in the U.S. and South Korean tax jurisdictions. This valuation
allowance contributed to the increase in the provision for income taxes from
$6.2 million in fiscal 2007 to $44.4 million in fiscal 2008.
Operating
cash flow for fiscal 2008 was $67.4 million which represents a 34.1 percent
decrease from the prior year of $102.4 million due largely to reduced operating
results in the Original Equipment – North America segment. The
reduced operating cash flows were not sufficient to fully finance capital
expenditures and working capital needs for the business during fiscal 2008,
therefore requiring additional borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit
facility during the year. Total debt at the end of fiscal 2008 was
$226.5 million compared with $179.3 million at the end of fiscal
2007. Additional net borrowings were made primarily to finance $87.0
million of capital expenditures, the purchase of Company stock of $7.7 million
through the anti-dilutive portion of the stock repurchase program announced in
fiscal 2006 and purchases of stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon
the vesting of stock awards and a $37.9 million increase in working
capital. This significant increase in working capital is primarily
due to the growing business volumes. Modine’s days sales outstanding
of 51 days at the end of fiscal 2008 has improved from the 53 days at the end of
fiscal 2007 and is consistent with the 51 days at the end of fiscal
2006. Modine’s inventory turns of 13.2 at the end of fiscal 2008 has
improved from the end of fiscal 2007 of 12.9, but has decreased from 15.4 at the
end of fiscal 2006.
During
fiscal 2008, the Company recognized a decline in future growth prospects within
the Original Equipment – North America business from previous management
projections, including a lower margin outlook, which resulted in a goodwill
impairment charge of $23.8 million within this segment. Also during
fiscal 2008, the South Korean business, which is included in the Original
Equipment – Asia segment, continued to underperform expectations due to customer
pricing pressures and a reduced outlook for this business, which resulted in a
long-lived asset impairment charge of $12.1 million. In addition to
these charges, long-lived asset impairment charges of $11.6 million were
recorded during fiscal 2008 consisting of $3.4 million in Original Equipment –
North America, where a program was identified as being unable to support its
asset base, $4.7 million in Original Equipment – Europe for the Tübingen,
Germany manufacturing facility which will be closed, and $3.5 million in the
Commercial Products segment for the cancellation of a product in its development
stage. A deferred tax valuation allowance of $64.6 million was
recorded primarily against the net U.S. and South Korean deferred tax assets
related to the existence of projected losses, which resulted in the
determination that it was more likely than not that these deferred taxes would
not be realized. In response to these business and market conditions,
the Company implemented a number of cost and operational efficiency measures
that are designed to improve our longer term competitiveness:
|
·
|
Manufacturing
realignment – The Company announced the closure of the Camdenton,
Missouri; Pemberville, Ohio; and Logansport, Indiana facilities within the
Original Equipment – North America segment and the Tübingen, Germany
manufacturing facility within the Original Equipment – Europe
segment. These closures are in addition to the previously
announced four plant closures in North America, of which the Jackson,
Mississippi and Clinton, Tennessee facility closures are still in
process.
|
|
·
|
Portfolio
rationalization – The Company has a new organizational structure which has
been in place for a little over a year. The new structure is
organized around global product lines and a regional operating
model. The Company is looking at product lines within and
across the regions to assess them relative to Modine’s competitive
position and the overall business attractiveness in order to identify
those lower margin product lines which should be divested or
exited. Through these rationalization efforts, the
Company completed the sale of its Electronics Cooling business on May 1,
2008.
|
|
·
|
Capital
allocation – The Company introduced an enhanced capital allocation process
which is designed to allocate capital spending to the segments and
programs that will provide the highest return on
investment. The Company anticipates capital spending in the
intermediate term to be near deprecation
levels.
|
|
·
|
Selling,
general and administrative (SG&A) cost containment – The Company has a
target of driving SG&A levels down to 11.5 percent of sales by fiscal
2011. Progress was made toward this goal during fiscal 2008,
with SG&A as a percentage of sales declining from 13.4 percent in the
prior year to 12.7 percent in the current
year.
|
These
initiatives are intended to support the Company’s focus on increasing return on
average capital employed. This is a financial measure of the profit
generated on the total capital invested in the Company before interest expense
payable to lenders, net of any tax effect. Management believes that
return on average capital employed provides helpful supplemental information
about the Company’s performance, ability to provide an acceptable return on all
the capital utilized by the Company, and ability to fund
growth. Capital is allocated to each business unit based on
performance, and that performance is evaluated against a risk-adjusted target
rate of return. All business units are measured using specific
performance standards and they all must earn the right to obtain capital to fund
growth through their performance. This focus also allows us to
identify underperforming business units, and to pursue opportunities that will
contribute to our earnings and returns. We continue to take actions to enhance
these returns into the future, with the long-term goal of achieving a return on
average capital employed in the range of 11 percent to 12 percent.
We focus
our development efforts on the most promising new markets and new
products. Our investment in research and development (“R&D”) has
increased approximately 13 percent from fiscal 2007 to fiscal
2008. R&D is an investment in our future that returns new
technologies for our core markets, such as our work with CO2 as a
refrigerant, fuel
cell technologies and next generation aluminum radiators
demonstrates. U.S., European and Asian emissions regulations are
continuing to become more restrictive which requires new technologies and
products in order to meet these emissions standards. Modine is a
leader in exhaust gas recirculation (“EGR”) cooler technology and we have
developed solutions that allow our customers to meet tighter government
standards efficiently. EGR coolers recirculate “cooled” exhaust back
into a diesel engine at a lower temperature thus reducing emissions of nitrous
oxides (NOx), a key pollutant that is being regulated. As the
emissions standards tighten in the future, much higher amounts of recirculation
is planned, possibly greater than 40 percent of the engine’s exhaust, which will
put even greater emphasis on advanced EGR cooler technology. Through
our proactive R&D, we are developing new technologies designed to keep our
customers within federal and international guidelines and regulations well into
the future.
We have
made substantial investments in plants and equipment along with state-of-the-art
technical centers. These are critical to our strategy of generating
growth through technological leadership. Our wind tunnels, technical
centers and administration buildings in Racine, Wisconsin and Bonlanden,
Germany, and wind tunnel and technical center in Asan City, South Korea ensure
better ongoing service for our global customers.
Discontinued
Operations
On May 1,
2007, the Company announced it would explore strategic alternatives for its
Electronics Cooling business and presented it as held for sale and as a
discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements for all periods
presented. The Electronics Cooling business was sold on May 1, 2008
for $13.2 million, resulting in a gain on sale. On July 22, 2005, the
Company completed the spin off of its Aftermarket business and the immediate
merger of the spun off business into Proliance International, Inc. (formerly
known as Transpro, Inc.). The Aftermarket business has been presented
as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial
statements. In fiscal 2006, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to
earnings of $53.5 million to reflect the difference between the value that
Modine shareholders received in Proliance, a function of the price of Proliance
at the time of the closing of the spin off, and the asset carrying value of
Modine’s Aftermarket business. Reported results after earnings (loss)
from discontinued operations and loss on spin off of discontinued operations for
fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 was a net loss of $65.6 million and net earnings of
$42.3 million and $7.6 million, respectively, or loss per fully diluted share of
$2.05 and earnings per fully diluted share of $1.31 and $0.22,
respectively.

Competitive
Position
The
Company competes with several manufacturers of heat transfer products, some of
which are divisions of larger companies and some of which are independent
companies. The markets for the Company's products are increasingly
competitive and have changed significantly in the past few years. The
Company's traditional OEM customers in the U.S. are faced with dramatically
increased international competition and have expanded their worldwide sourcing
of parts to compete more effectively with lower cost imports. These
market changes have caused the Company to experience competition from suppliers
in other parts of the world that enjoy economic advantages such as lower labor
costs, lower health care costs, and lower tax rates. In addition, our
customers continue to ask the Company, as well as their other primary suppliers,
to participate in research and development, design, and validation
responsibilities. This should result in stronger customer
relationships and more partnership opportunities for the Company.
The
competitive landscape for Modine's core heat transfer products continues to
change. We face increasing challenges from existing competitors and
the threat of new, low cost competitors (specifically from China) continues to
exist.
Business
Segments
The
Company has assigned specific businesses to a segment based principally on
defined markets and geographical locations. Each Modine segment is
managed at the regional vice president or managing director level and has
separate financial results reviewed by its chief operating decision
makers. These results are used by management in evaluating the
performance of each business segment, and in making decisions on the allocation
of resources among our various businesses. Our chief operating
decision makers evaluate segment performance with an emphasis on gross margin,
and secondarily based on operating income of each segment, which includes
certain allocations of Corporate SG&A expenses. Additional
information about Modine’s business segments, including sales and assets by
geography, is set forth in Note 25 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In the
first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company implemented certain management
reporting changes which resulted in the Brazilian operation being reported in a
newly established South America segment; the Original Equipment – Americas
segment being renamed Original Equipment – North America; certain supporting
departments previously included within Corporate and administrative being
realigned into the Original Equipment – North America segment; the Commercial
HVAC&R segment renamed Commercial Products; and the Other segment renamed to
Fuel Cell since the Electronics Cooling business is presented as a discontinued
operation. The Original Equipment – Asia and Original Equipment –
Europe segment have no changes. The segment information for fiscal
2007 and 2006 has been revised to reflect these changes on a comparable
basis.
Original
Equipment – Asia, Europe and North America Segments
The
continuing globalization of the Company's OEM customer base has led to the
necessity of viewing Modine’s strategic approach, product offerings and
competitors on a global basis. In addition, the Company's customers
continue to pressure their suppliers to lower prices continuously over the life
of a program, emphasizing transparency in the quoting process, and in some cases
have requested up front payments in return for the award of future
business.
The
Company's main competitors, Behr GmbH & Co. K.G., Dana Corporation, Visteon
Corporation, Denso Corporation, Delphi Corporation, T.Rad Co. Ltd., Honeywell
Thermal Div, Tokyo Radiator Co., Ltd (Calsonic) and Valeo SA and ex Valeo Heavy
Duty group now owned by EQT, have a worldwide presence. Increasingly,
the Company faces competition as these competitors expand their product offering
and manufacturing footprint through low cost country sourcing which depresses
overall market price levels. This also includes migrating from
suppliers of components to complete integrated modules/packages capable of
meeting request for quote conditions directed by customers.
Specifically,
the Original Equipment – North America, Europe and Asia segments serve the
following markets:
Commercial
Vehicle
Products – Engine cooling
modules (radiators, charge-air-coolers, EGR coolers, fan shrouds, and surge
tanks); on-engine cooling (EGR coolers, engine oil coolers, fuel coolers,
charge-air-coolers and intake air coolers); HVAC system modules (condensers,
evaporators and heater cores); oil coolers (transmission oil coolers and power
steering coolers); and fuel coolers
Customers –
Commercial, medium and heavy duty truck and engine manufacturers; bus; and
specialty vehicle manufacturers
Market Overview – We have experienced
weaker than anticipated post-2007 emission mandate sales in the U.S. and
Canada. This dynamic is material to our fiscal 2008 results as the
new post-2007 heavy truck business we were awarded has had a slow start due to
pre-buy activity in advance of the 2007 emission law changes as well as overall
market weakness. Strong growth existed in Europe with broad customer
and market consolidation. Other trends influencing the market include
the consolidation of major customers into global entities emphasizing the
development of global vehicle platforms in order to leverage and reduce
development costs and distribution methods. The emissions regulations
and timelines are driving the advancement of product development worldwide and
creating demand for incremental thermal transfer products. At the
same time, OEMs expect greater supplier support at lower prices and seek high
technology/low cost solutions for their thermal management needs. In
general, this drives a deflationary price environment.
The
Company also participates in the vehicular air conditioning business with
specific strengths in HVAC modules for the truck markets in North
America. Market demand for higher efficiency, lower weight,
alternative “green” refrigerants, and truck “off-idle” regulations are creating
new opportunities for Modine. Commercial vehicle customers are
looking for more sophisticated HVAC systems with “car-like” performance and low
cost.
Primary
Competitors – Behr GmbH & Co.
K.G., Bergstrom, Inc., T. Rad Co. Ltd.; Valeo HD (EQT), Tokyo Radiator Co., Ltd.

Automotive
Products – Powertrain cooling
(engine cooling modules, radiators, condensers, charge-air-coolers, auxiliary
cooling (power steering coolers and transmission oil coolers)) and on-engine
cooling (EGR coolers, engine oil coolers, fuel coolers, charge-air-coolers and
intake air coolers)
Customers – Automobile, light
truck and engine manufacturers
Market Overview – Modine is a niche
player in North America, Europe and Asia with sales dependent on a few major
customers. Most auto market analysts have lowered their U.S. sales
expectations to just under 15 million units while early in 2008, the U.S. auto
manufacturers were predicting sales in the upper 15 to 16 million
units. This market is experiencing a shift in sales from light-duty
truck to smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles as automakers plan to build more
light-vehicles with turbochargers or superchargers to increase fuel economy and
reduce weight. With each of these vehicles, Modine has the
opportunity for incremental business that will complement our endeavors on the
Next Generation Heat Transfer Technology announced last year. This
technology uses less materials resulting in lighter products which contribute to
higher fuel economy. OEMs are shifting more development and
commercial responsibilities to Tier 1 suppliers with a unique North American
trend toward front-end and cockpit modules. Production in Europe is
expected to grow two percent over the next four years with the majority of
growth coming from Asian automakers with manufacturing facilities in Europe
investing in local production. The European OEMs are experiencing
market share losses, thus creating further cost pressure. Incremental
or replacement business is awarded based upon price reductions on current
business.
Primary Competitors –
Behr GmbH & Co. K.G., Dana Corporation, Delphi Corporation, Denso
Corporation, T. Rad., Toyo Radiator Co., Ltd. (Calsonic) and Visteon
Corporation
Off-Highway
Products – Powertrain cooling
(engine cooling modules, radiators, condensers, charge-air-coolers, fuel
coolers); auxiliary coolers (power steering coolers and transmission oil
coolers); on-engine cooling (EGR coolers, engine oil coolers, fuel coolers,
charge-air-coolers and intake air coolers); and HVAC system modules
Customers – Construction and
agricultural equipment, engine manufacturers and industrial manufacturers of
material handling equipment, generator sets and compressors
Market overview – The slowing of the
North American economy driven by the steep decline in housing starts, tight
credit and rising energy costs has depressed related off-highway equipment
orders. This has been offset by increased funding of highway projects
driving demand growth for construction and paving equipment. In
addition, agricultural equipment manufacturers have forecasted 25-30 percent
increases in production over the next 12-18 months due to bio-fuel production
and the 2008 Economic Stimulus Package that will provide incentive for small
business (farmers) to purchase new equipment. This may now be
tempered by recent indications that government bio-fuel mandates may be modified
due to the concern over higher food prices.
Overall
market trends include a migration toward global machine platforms driving the
multi-region assembly of a common design platform with an emphasis on low cost
country sourcing for certain components. Additionally, fixed
emissions regulations and timelines are driving the advancement of product
development in both of these markets. OEMs are rapidly expanding into
Asia and have a strong desire for suppliers to follow and localize
production. Modine is recognized as having strong technical support,
product breadth, and the ability to support global standard designs of its
customers.
The
Company participates in the vehicular air conditioning business with specific
strengths in HVAC modules for the agricultural and construction equipment in the
off-highway markets in North America. Market demand for higher
efficiency, lower weight, alternative “green” refrigerants, are creating new
opportunities for Modine. Customers in these vehicle segments are
looking for more sophisticated HVAC systems with “car-like” performance and low

Our
non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates manufacture and sell a number of vehicular
and industrial products similar to those produced in the U.S. In
addition to normal business risks, operations outside the U.S. are subject to
other risks such as changing political, economic and social environments,
changing governmental laws and regulations, currency revaluations and volatility
and market fluctuations.
Information
about business segments, geographic regions, principal products, principal
markets, methods of distribution, net sales, operating profit and assets is
included in Note 25 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Exports
The
Company exports from North America to foreign countries and receives royalties
from foreign licensees. Export sales as a percentage of net sales
were 5 percent for fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 7 percent for fiscal
2006. Royalties from foreign licenses were 5 percent of total loss
from continuing operations in fiscal 2008, and were 9 percent and 4 percent of
total earnings from continuing operations for fiscal 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
Modine
believes its international presence has positioned the Company to share
profitably in the anticipated long-term growth of the global vehicular and
industrial markets. Modine is committed to increasing its involvement
and investment in international markets in the years ahead.
Foreign
and Domestic Operations
Financial
information relating to the Company's foreign and domestic operations
is included in Note 25 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Customer
Dependence
Ten
customers accounted for approximately 57 percent of the Company's sales in
fiscal 2008. These customers, listed alphabetically, were: BMW,
Caterpillar Inc., Daimler AG; Deere & Company; Halla Climate Control;
Hyundai; Navistar; MAN Truck & Bus; PACCAR Inc. and Volkswagen
AG. Goods are supplied to these customers on the basis of individual
purchase orders received from them. When it is in the customer's and
the Company's best interests, the Company utilizes long-term sales agreements
with customers to minimize investment risks and also to provide the customer
with a proven source of competitively priced products. These
contracts are on average three years in duration and may include built-in
pricing adjustments. In certain cases, our customers have requested
additional pricing adjustments beyond those built-in to these long-term
contracts.
Backlog
of Orders
The
Company's operating units maintain their own inventories and production
schedules. Current production capacity is capable of handling the
sales volumes expected in fiscal 2009.
Raw
Materials
Aluminum,
nickel, brass, steel, and solder, all essential to the business, are purchased
regularly from several domestic and foreign producers. In general,
the Company does not rely on any one supplier for these materials, which are for
the most part available from numerous sources in quantities required by the
Company. The supply of fabricated copper products is highly
concentrated between two global suppliers. Presently, all purchases
of fabricated copper are from one supplier. The Company normally does
not experience material shortages and believes that our suppliers’ production of
these materials will be adequate throughout fiscal 2009. In addition,
when possible, Modine has made material pass-through arrangements with its key
customers. Under these arrangements, the Company can pass material
cost increases and decreases to its customers. However, where these
pass-through arrangements are utilized, there is a time lag between the time of
the material increase or decrease and the time of the pass-through, and the
customers are increasingly not paying the full material cost
increases. To further mitigate the Company’s exposure to fluctuating
material prices, we adopted a commodity hedging program in fiscal 2007 which has
been continued into fiscal 2008. The Company entered into forward
contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted aluminum purchases, our single
largest purchased commodity. In addition, the Company entered into
fixed price contracts to hedge against changes in natural gas over the winter
months. At March 31, 2008, the Company has forward contracts
outstanding which hedge approximately 60 percent of our North American aluminum
requirements anticipated to be purchased over the next nine
months. The Company expects to continue to use a commodity hedging
program in fiscal 2009. During fiscal 2008, the Company started
utilizing collars for certain forecasted copper purchases, and also entered into
forward contracts for certain forecasted nickel purchases.
Patents
The
Company owns outright or is licensed to produce products under a number of
patents and licenses. These patents and licenses, which have been
obtained over a period of years, will expire at various
times. Because the Company is involved with many product lines, the
Company believes that its business as a whole is not materially dependent upon
any particular patent or license, or any particular group of patents or
licenses. Modine considers each of its patents, trademarks and
licenses to be of value and aggressively defends its rights throughout the world
against infringement. Modine has been granted more than 2,300 patents worldwide
over the life of the Company.
Research
and Development
The
Company remains committed to its vision of creating value through
technology. Company-sponsored research activities relate to the
development of new products, processes and services, and the improvement of
existing products, processes, and services. Research expenditures
were $93.2 million, $82.3 million and $79.4 million in fiscal 2008, 2007 and
2006, respectively. There were no material expenditures on research
activities that were customer-sponsored. Over the course of the last
few years, the Company has become involved in a number of industry-, university-
and government-sponsored research organizations, who conduct research and
provide data on technical topics deemed to be of interest to the Company for
practical applications in the markets the Company serves. The
research developed is generally shared among the member companies. To
achieve efficiencies and lower developmental costs, Modine's research and
engineering groups work closely with our customers on special projects and
systems designs. In addition, the Company is participating in U.S.
government-funded projects, including dual purpose programs in which the Company
retains commercial intellectual property rights in technology it develops for
the government, such as a contract with the United States Army for the use of
CO2
technology in the Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) cooling
system.
Quality
Improvement
Modine’s
Quality Management System has been evolving steadily since its inception in
1996. As customer requirements and international quality standards
have changed, the Modine quality management system has changed with
them. Quality expectations have risen continuously and Modine is
actively pursuing ways to continue to meet those expectations. For
example, ongoing Modine Presidential Initiatives for scrap reduction and
improvement of first pass yield continue to provide positive
results. In the past year, five manufacturing plants have met the 40
percent improvement goal for first pass yield. Since inception, a
total of 18 plants (including ten repeat winners) have met this first pass yield
goal. In addition, six plants have met the goal for a 30 percent
reduction in scrap in the past year. Since inception, a total of 20
plants (including nine repeat winners) have met this scrap reduction
goal. Overall, performance on first pass yield and scrap as a
percentage of material used have continued a positive trend of improvement over
the past ten years.
The value
of the Modine Quality Management System is also evidenced by the improving
results of our Company’s ten quality indicators – metrics that reflect the
various aspects of the quality system, such as customer rejects, warranty costs
and product test failures. Collectively, these indicators have shown
a significant improvement since the end of fiscal 2001. Implementing
the Modine Quality Management System at all sites globally helps ensure that
customers receive the same high-quality products and services from any Modine
facility.
Environmental,
Health and Safety Matters
Modine
supports a strategic corporate commitment to prevent pollution, eliminate waste
and reduce environmental risks. The Company’s facilities maintained
their Environmental Management System (EMS) certification to the international
ISO14001 standard through independent third-party audits, while new facilities
in Asia and Europe have established plans for implementation of Modine’s global
EMS with subsequent ISO14001 certification. All Modine locations have
established specific environmental improvement targets in support of the
Company’s global objectives for the coming fiscal year.
Modine
built on its successful history of environmental stewardship in fiscal 2008 by
establishing corporate-wide objectives for the reduction of waste, air emissions
and water use. Although not all of these objectives were achieved
within the past year, the Company made substantial progress. Modine
achieved its annual goal by using 5.2 million cubic feet less water in fiscal
2008, a 20 percent reduction. Hazardous and solid wastes were reduced by
548,000 pounds and volatile organic compound air emissions were reduced by
64,000 pounds, decreases of approximately 4 percent and 6 percent,
respectively.
In fiscal
2005, Modine introduced its Energy Conservation Initiative which challenged its
facilities worldwide to reduce energy consumption by 12 percent over the fiscal
2004 baseline. In fiscal 2006, Modine surpassed that goal and
achieved a 17 percent reduction in energy consumption (normalized for
sales). The Company continued this successful Initiative and in
fiscal 2008 further reduced energy use by 5 percent year-over-year (normalized
for sales). In terms of sales, Modine consumed 26 percent less energy
in fiscal 2008 than it did at the onset of the Energy Conservation program in
fiscal 2005. Modine’s sustained energy conservation improvements over
the past four years avoided the emissions of greater than 205,000 tons of carbon
dioxide, significantly reducing its dependence on fossil fuels and shrinking its
global carbon footprint. These improvements are equivalent to saving
21.2 million gallons of gasoline.
Modine’s
products reflect our sense of environmental responsibility. The
Company continues its development and refinement of environmentally
beneficial product lines including: R22-free HVAC units, EGR coolers for diesel
applications, diesel truck idle-off technologies to reduce fuel use and
associated air emissions, carbon dioxide-based refrigerant systems (replacing
CFC compounds), and high efficiency stationary fuel cell
applications.
An
obligation for remedial activities may arise at Modine-owned facilities due to
past practices or as a result of a property purchase or sale. These
expenditures most often relate to sites where past operations followed practices
and procedures that were considered acceptable under then-existing regulations,
but now require investigative and/or remedial work to ensure appropriate
environmental protection. Three of the Company's currently owned
manufacturing facilities and one formerly owned property have been identified as
requiring soil and/or groundwater remediation. Environmental liabilities
recorded as of March 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 to cover the investigative work
and remediation for sites in the United States, Brazil, and The Netherlands were
$2.1 million, $1.2 million, and $1.1 million, respectively. These
liabilities are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet in "accrued expenses
and other current liabilities" and "other noncurrent liabilities."
Environmental
expenses charged to current operations, including remediation costs, solid waste
disposal, and operating and maintenance costs totaled $2.9 million in fiscal
2008. Operating expenses of some facilities may increase during fiscal year
2009 because of environmental matters but the competitive position of the
Company is not expected to change materially.
Modine’s
health and safety performance continued to show improvement in fiscal
2008. Modine ended the fiscal year with a global Recordable Incident
Rate (“RIR“) of 2.42, according to U.S. recordkeeping
requirements. This yielded a 6 percent improvement in recordable
injuries over fiscal 2007. Seven company-owned or joint venture
locations ended the year with no recordable injuries in fiscal
2008. Complementing this achievement were 15 facilities worldwide
which also met or exceeded the zero injury or 20 percent RIR improvement
goal.
The
Company is focused on meeting Modine’s Global Commitment for Responsible
Relationships by providing a safe working environment for all Modine employees
worldwide. In fiscal year 2009, a global health and safety system in
line with OHSAS 18001 will be applied worldwide to ensure safety is a
fundamental element of every culture in which Modine operates.
Employees
The
number of persons employed by the Company as of March 31, 2008 was approximately
8,100.
Seasonal
Nature of Business
The
Company generally is not subject to a significant degree of seasonality as sales
to OEMs are dependent upon the demand for new vehicles. Our
Commercial Products business may experience a degree of seasonality since the
demand for HVAC products is affected by weather patterns, construction, and
other factors. However, no significant seasonality differences are
experienced related to this business.
Working
Capital Items
The
Company manufactures products for the original equipment segments on an
as-ordered basis, which makes large inventories of such products
unnecessary. In addition, the Company does not experience a
significant amount of returned products. In the Commercial Products
segment, the Company maintains varying levels of finished goods inventory due to
certain sales programs. In these areas, the industry and the Company
generally make use of extended terms of payment for customers on a limited
basis.

Our
business involves risk. The following information about these risks
should be considered carefully together with the other information contained in
this report. The risks described below are not the only risks we
face. Additional risks not currently known or deemed immaterial may
also result in adverse results for our business.
We
may be unable to complete and successfully implement our restructuring plan to
reduce costs and increase efficiencies in our business and, therefore, we may
not achieve costs savings.
We are
implementing a number of cost savings programs, such as the recently announced
plant closures in North America and Europe. Successful implementation
of these and other initiatives, including the expansion in low cost countries,
is critical to our future competitiveness and our ability to improve our
profitability. However, there can be no assurances that these efforts
will allow us to achieve cost reductions.
We
may need to undertake further restructuring actions.
As we
recently announced, we have initiated certain restructuring actions to realign
and resize our production capacity and cost structure to meet current and
projected operational and market requirements. We may need to take
further actions to reduce costs and the charges related to these actions may
have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial
condition.
If
we do not execute on our current business plan, we may violate our bank and note
holder covenants.
We have
amended our existing credit agreement and agreements with holders of $150
million of the Company’s debt to enable the Company to continue to remain in
compliance with its financial covenants. The covenants contained in
the amended agreements are based upon achievement of the Company’s plans for
fiscal years 2009 and 2010, in particular. If the strength in our
Original Equipment – Europe, South America and Commercial Products segments does
not continue, if the Original Equipment – North America or Original Equipment –
Asia results do not improve, or if the recently announced restructuring actions
are not executed successfully, we could fail to perform in accordance with our
business plan. If this were to occur, the Company could violate its
bank and note holder covenants. If we default under our credit
agreement and agreements with the note holders, either through failing to meet
financial covenants or in some other way, and are unable to reach suitable
accommodations with our lenders, our lenders could elect to stop making the
advances we need to fund daily operations and could declare all the debt we owe
them immediately due and payable.
Events
beyond our control may impair our operations and financial
condition.
As of
March 31, 2008, our total consolidated debt was $226.5 million. This
debt level could have important consequences for the Company, including
increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic, credit market and
industry conditions; requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows from
operations to be used for the payment of interest rather than to fund working
capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate requirements;
limiting our ability to obtain additional financing or refinance our existing
debt agreements; and limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to,
changes in our business and the industries in which we operate.
The
agreements governing our debt include covenants that restrict, among other
things, our ability to incur additional debt; pay dividends on or repurchase our
equity; make investments; and consolidate, merge or transfer all or
substantially all of our assets. Our ability to comply with these
covenants may be adversely affected by events beyond our control, including
prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. These
covenants may also require that we take action to reduce our debt or to act in a
manner contrary to our short-term or long-term business
objectives. There can be no assurance that we will meet our covenants
in the future or that the lenders will waive a failure to meet those
tests.
We
may experience negative or unforeseen tax consequences.
We
periodically review, as we did in fiscal 2008 with regard to our North American
and South Korean operations, the probability of the realization of our deferred
tax assets based on forecasts of taxable income in both the U.S. and numerous
foreign jurisdictions. In our review, we use historical results, projected
future operating results based upon approved business plans, eligible
carryforward periods, tax planning opportunities and other relevant
considerations. Adverse changes in the profitability and financial
outlook in both the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions may require changes
in the valuation allowances to reduce our deferred tax assets or increase tax
accruals. Such changes could result in material non-cash expenses in the period
in which the changes are made and could have a material adverse impact on our
results of operations or financial condition.
The
Company is currently under examination in the U.S. and in certain foreign
countries by the local taxing authorities. Based on the outcome of
these examinations, a risk exists that the taxing authorities may disallow
certain tax positions taken on previously filed tax returns. Any
disallowed tax positions may be in excess of the liability for uncertain tax
positions which we have currently recorded in our consolidated financial
statements, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of
operations or financial condition.
We
may be unable to improve the performance of our South Korean business within the
targeted timeframe.
Our South
Korean business continues to underperform expectations and financial targets due
largely to combination of ongoing customer pricing pressures, deteriorating
product mix, lack of customer base diversification, and our unfavorable
manufacturing cost structure. If we are unable to offset these
pricing pressures through continued operating efficiencies and a lower-cost
manufacturing profile, we will be unable to meet our financial
targets. The workforce within this business is unionized and the
annual collective bargaining process has historically resulted in strike-related
activities. If we are unable to secure cooperation from the union to
help improve cost efficiency, we may be unable to achieve operating efficiencies
required and furthermore, could be subject to the risk of future
strikes. Any prolonged disputes with the union could lead to program
disruption and cancellation which could impact our customer
relationships. These events could have a material adverse effect on
our results of operations and the future of our South Korean
business.
Our OEM business,
which accounts for approximately 90 percent of our business currently, is
dependent upon the health of the markets we serve. A decline in
vehicle sales would reduce our sales and harm our
operations.
Our
customers’ sales and production levels are affected by general economic
conditions, including the price of fuel, employment levels and trends, interest
rates, labor relations issues, regulatory requirements, trade agreements and
other factors. Any significant decline in production levels for
current and future customers would reduce our sales and harm our results of
operations and financial condition. We are highly susceptible to
downward trends in the markets we serve.
The
slowdown in the U.S. economy and increased fuel prices have reduced the demand
for commercial trucks. We are also experiencing program cancellations
from our customers because the increase in fuel prices is changing consumer
demand for vehicles. The global truck markets are subject to
tightening emission standards that drive cyclical demand
patterns. The global construction, agriculture and industrial markets
are also impacted by emission regulations and timelines driving the need for
advanced product development. These markets are experiencing rapid
global expansion into low-cost countries. Significant declines in any
of these markets could have an adverse effect on our business.
If we were to
lose business with a major OEM customer, our revenue and profit could be
adversely affected.
Deterioration
of a business relationship with a major OEM customer could cause the Company’s
revenue and profitability to suffer. The loss of a major OEM
customer, the loss of business with respect to one or more of the vehicle models
that use our products, or a significant decline in the production levels of such
vehicles could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
The
sales of our products are dependent on the success of the particular platform in
which our products are placed.
We are
awarded business by an OEM customer generally two to three years prior to the
launch of a vehicle platform. We incur significant costs to produce
our products for a platform in the form of tooling, plant capacity expansion,
research and development, and product testing and evaluation, among
others. If the actual sales volumes for those platforms are not what
we anticipate, our results of operations could be adversely affected because the
tooling to produce the products is generally specific to a particular
program. The discontinuation, loss of business with respect to, or a
lack of commercial success of, a particular vehicle model for which the Company
is a significant supplier would reduce the Company’s sales and could adversely
affect our financial condition.
Our OEM customers continually seek
and obtain price reductions from us. These price reductions adversely
affect our results of operations and financial condition, even in the face of
increased revenue.
A
challenge that we and other suppliers to vehicular OEMs face is continued price
reduction pressure from our customers. Downward pricing pressure has
been a characteristic of the automotive industry in recent years and it is
migrating to all our vehicular OEM markets. Virtually all such OEMs
have aggressive price reduction initiatives that they impose upon their
suppliers, and such actions are expected to continue in the
future. In the face of lower prices to customers, the Company must
reduce its operating costs in order to maintain profitability. The
Company has taken and continues to take steps to reduce its operating costs to
offset customer price reductions; however, price reductions are adversely
affecting our profit margins and are expected to do so in the
future. If the Company is unable to offset customer price reductions
through improved operating efficiencies, new manufacturing processes, sourcing
alternatives, technology enhancements and other cost reduction initiatives, our
results of operations and financial condition could be adversely
affected.
We continue to face high commodity
costs (including steel, copper, aluminum, nickel, other raw materials and
energy) that we increasingly cannot recoup in our product
pricing.
Increasing
commodity costs continue to have a significant effect on our results, and those
of others in our industry. We have sought to alleviate the impact of
increasing costs by including a materials pass-through provision in our
contracts with our customers. However, certain of our customers are
challenging these contractual provisions and are not paying the full cost of the
materials increases. The continuation of this practice could
adversely affect our profitability. We have also sought to mitigate
the risk of changing commodity costs through a commodity hedging
program. Under this program, the Company enters into forward
contracts to hedge approximately 60 percent of its forecasted U.S. purchases of
aluminum. However, this policy would only partially offset increases
in material costs, and significant increases could continue to have an adverse
effect on our results of operations.
The continual
pressure to absorb costs adversely affects our
profitability.
We
continue to be pressured to absorb costs related to product design, engineering
and tooling, as well as other items previously paid for directly by
OEMs. In particular, some OEMs have requested that we pay to obtain
new business. In addition, they are also requesting that we pay for
design, engineering and tooling costs that are incurred prior to the start of
production and recover these costs through amortization in the piece price of
the applicable component. Some of these costs cannot be capitalized,
which adversely affects our profitability until the programs for which they have
been incurred are launched. If the program is not launched, we may
not be able to recover the design, engineering and tooling costs from our
customers further adversely affecting our profitability.
Our lack of
manufacturing facilities in low cost countries adversely affects our
profitability.
The
competitive environment in the OEM markets we serve has been intensifying as our
customers seek to take advantage of lower operating costs in China, other
countries in Asia and parts of Eastern Europe. As a result, we are
facing increased competition from suppliers that have manufacturing operations
in low cost countries. While we continue to expand our manufacturing
footprint with a view to taking advantage of manufacturing opportunities in low
cost countries, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to fully realize such
opportunities. Additionally, the establishment of manufacturing
operations in emerging market countries carries its own risks, including those
relating to political and economic instability; trade, customs and tax risks;
currency exchange rates; currency controls; insufficient infrastructure; and
other risks associated with conducting business internationally. The
loss of any significant production contract to competitors in low cost countries
or significant costs and risks incurred to enter and carry on business in these
countries could have an adverse effect on our profitability.
Additional
automotive supplier bankruptcies and related labor unrest may disrupt the supply
of components to our OEM customers, adversely affecting their demand for our
products.
Many
automotive suppliers are already in bankruptcy. The bankruptcy courts
handling these cases could invalidate or seek to amend existing agreements
between the bankrupt companies and their labor unions. The bankruptcy
or insolvency of other vehicular suppliers or work stoppages or slowdowns due to
labor unrest that may affect these suppliers or our OEM customers could lead to
supply disruptions that could have an adverse effect on our
business.
As
a global company, we are subject to currency fluctuations and any significant
movement between the U.S. dollar, the euro, South Korean won and Brazilian real,
in particular, could have an adverse effect on our profitability.
Although
our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, a significant portion of our
sales and operating costs are realized in euros, the South Korean won, the
Brazilian real and other currencies. Our profitability is affected by
movements of the U.S. dollar against the euro and the won and other currencies
in which we generate revenues and incur expenses. Significant
long-term fluctuations in relative currency values, in particular a significant
change in the relative values of the U.S. dollar, euro, won or real, could have
an adverse effect on our profitability and financial condition or our ongoing
ability to remain in compliance with our bank and note holder
covenants.
We receive new
business and keep the business we have because of our technological
innovation.
If we
were to compete only on cost, our sales would decline
substantially. We compete on vehicle platforms that are small- to
medium-sized in the industry where our technology is valued. For
instance, in the automotive market we do not bid on large vehicle platforms with
commoditized products because the margins are too small. If we cannot
differentiate ourselves from our competitors with our technology, our products
may become commodities and our sales and earnings would be adversely
affected.
Developments
or assertions by or against the Company relating to intellectual property rights
could adversely affect our business.
The
Company owns significant intellectual property, including a large number of
patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets, and is involved in numerous
licensing arrangements. The Company’s intellectual property plays an
important role in maintaining our competitive position in a number of the
markets we serve. Developments or assertions by or against the
Company relating to intellectual property rights could adversely affect the
business. Significant technological developments by others also could
adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We
may incur material losses and costs as a result of product liability and
warranty claims and litigation.
We are
exposed to warranty and product liability claims in the event that our products
fail to perform as expected, and we may be required to participate in a recall
of such products. Our largest customers have recently extended their
warranty protection for their vehicles. Other OEMs have also
similarly extended their warranty programs. This trend will put
additional pressure on the supply base to improve quality
systems. This trend may also result in higher cost recovery claims by
OEMs from suppliers whose products incur a higher rate of warranty
claims. Historically, we have experienced relatively low warranty
charges from our customers due to our contractual arrangements and
improvements in the quality, warranty, reliability and durability performance of
our products. If our customers demand higher warranty-related cost
recoveries, or if our products fail to perform as expected, it could have a
material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial
condition.
We are
also involved in various legal proceedings incidental to our business. Although
we believe that none of these matters are likely to have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations or financial condition, there can be no
assurance as to the ultimate outcome of any such legal proceeding or any future
legal proceedings.
Our
business is subject to costs associated with environmental, health and safety
regulations.
Our
operations are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and
regulations governing, among other things, emissions to air, discharge to waters
and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of
waste and other materials. We believe that our operations and
facilities have been and are being operated in compliance, in all material
respects, with such laws and regulations, many of which provide for substantial
fines and sanctions for violations. The operation of our
manufacturing facilities entails risks in these areas, however, and there can be
no assurance that we will not incur material costs or liabilities. In
addition, potentially significant expenditures could be required in order to
comply with evolving environmental, health and safety laws, regulations or other
pertinent requirements that may be adopted or imposed in the
future.
We are
also expanding our business in China and India where environmental, health and
safety regulations are in their infancy. As a result, we cannot
determine how these laws will be implemented and the impact of such regulation
on the Company.
The Company could
be adversely affected if we experience shortages of components from our
suppliers.
In an
effort to manage and reduce the cost of purchased goods and services, the
Company, like many suppliers and automakers, has been consolidating its supply
base. As a result, the Company is dependent on limited sources of
supply for certain components used in the manufacture of our
products. The Company selects its suppliers based on total value
(including price, delivery and quality), taking into consideration their
production capacities, financial condition and ability to meet
demand. However, there can be no assurance that strong demand,
capacity limitations or other problems experienced by the Company’s suppliers
will not result in occasional shortages or delays in their supply of components
to us. If we were to experience a significant or prolonged shortage
of critical components from any of our suppliers and could not procure the
components from other sources, the Company would be unable to meets its
production schedules for some of its key products and would miss product
delivery dates which would adversely affect our sales, margins and customer
relations.
Significant
capital will be required to bring our fuel cell capabilities to the commercial
market.
We
believe that the fuel cell technology being developed by the Company is
revolutionary. If fuel cells become commercialized, particularly for
power generation, the Company has the technology to manage the heat generated by
these fuel cells. However, in order to commercialize its product, the
Company will need to invest a significant amount of capital. Unless
the Company can obtain sufficient capital to bring the fuel cell technology to
market, it may not be able to exploit this technology to its commercial
potential, or it may be required to take an alternative course to exploit the
technology.
Risks
related to internal control deficiencies.
Management
has identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial
reporting during fiscal 2008. Effective internal control is necessary
for appropriate financial reporting. Management is responsible for
establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process,
under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial
statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. As disclosed in Item 9A. “Controls and
Procedures”, in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, management identified a
material weakness in reconciliations within the Original Equipment – Europe
segment. We are currently implementing remediation plans to correct
this material weakness, and a risk exists that financial reporting errors could
occur before we are able to fully remediate this material weakness or if we
experience other internal control deficiencies.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF
COMMENTS.
None.
We
operate manufacturing facilities in the United States and certain foreign
countries. The Company's world headquarters, including general
offices, and laboratory, experimental and tooling facilities are maintained in
Racine, Wisconsin. Additional technical support functions are located
in Bonlanden, Germany and Asan City, South Korea.

Certain
of the Company's financing agreements require it to maintain specific financial
ratios and place certain limitations on the use of retained earnings for the
payment of cash dividends and the net acquisition of Company stock (restricted
payments). Under our predominant borrowing facility, restricted
payments related to dividends may not exceed $150 million on a cumulative basis
over the life of the agreement, which runs through October
2009. Cumulative dividend payments made and subject to this
restrictive covenant totaled $80.4 million as of March 31,
2008. Under that same agreement, restricted payments related to share
repurchases may not exceed $150 million on a cumulative basis over the life of
the agreement. Cumulative payments made to repurchase shares and
subject to this restrictive covenant totaled $103.8 million as of March 31,
2008. The Company was in compliance with these restrictive covenants
at March 31, 2008.
The Board
of Directors authorized a reduction in the Company’s quarterly cash dividend on
its common stock to a rate of 10 cents per share beginning in fiscal
2009.
ISSUER
PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
During
fiscal 2006, the Company announced two common share repurchase programs approved
by the Board of Directors. The first program, announced on May 18,
2005, was a dual purpose program authorizing the repurchase of five percent of
the Company’s outstanding common stock, as well as the indefinite buy-back of
additional shares to offset dilution from Modine’s incentive stock
plans. The five percent portion of this program was completed in
fiscal 2006, while the anti-dilution portion of this program continues to be
available to the Company. During fiscal 2008, 250,000 shares were
purchased under the anti-dilution portion of this program at an average cost of
$27.48 per share, or a total of approximately $6.9 million. No shares
were repurchased under the anti-dilution portion of this program during fiscal
2007. The second program announced on January 26, 2006 authorized the
repurchase of up to 10 percent of the Company’s outstanding stock over an
18-month period of time, which expired on July 26, 2007. No share
repurchases were made under this program during fiscal 2008. During
fiscal 2007, the Company purchased 502,600 shares of common stock at an average
price of $26.38 for a total of approximately $13.3 million. The
repurchases were made from time to time at current prices through solicited and
unsolicited transactions in the open market, in privately negotiated
transactions, or other transactions. The Company has retired shares
acquired pursuant to the programs, and the retired shares have been returned to
the status of authorized but un-issued shares.

Consists
of shares delivered back to the Company by employees and/or directors to
satisfy tax withholding obligations that arise upon the vesting of the
stock awards. The Company, pursuant to its equity compensation
plans, gives participants the opportunity to turn back to the Company the
number of shares from the award sufficient to satisfy the person’s tax
withholding obligations that arise upon the termination of
restrictions. These shares are held as treasury
shares.

The
stated price does not include any commission

There
are no shares remaining that may be repurchased under the two publicly
announced share repurchase programs, described in Note 22 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. of Part II. of this report,
which description is incorporated herein by reference, other than pursuant
to the indefinite buy-back authority under the anti-dilution portion of
the first program. The Company does not know at this time the
number of shares that will be purchased under this portion of the
program. In addition, the Company cannot determine the number
of shares that will be turned back to the Company by holders of restricted
awards or by the directors upon award of unrestricted
shares. The participants also have the option of paying the
tax-withholding obligation described above by cash or check, or by selling
shares on the open market. The number of shares subject to
outstanding restricted stock awards is290,039 with
a value of $4,202,665 at
March 31, 2008. Generally, the tax withholding obligation on
such shares is approximately 40 percent of the value of the shares when
they vest. The restrictions applicable to the stock awards
generally lapse 20 percent per year over five years for stock awards
granted prior to April 1, 2005 and generally lapse 25 percent per year
over four years for stock awards granted after April 1, 2005; provided,
however, that certain stock awards vest immediately upon
grant.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
and Strategic Plan
Founded
in 1916, Modine Manufacturing Company is a worldwide leader in thermal
management systems and components, bringing heating and cooling technology and
solutions to diversified global markets. We operate on 5 continents, in 15
countries, with approximately 8,100 employees worldwide.
Our
products are in automobiles, light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, commercial
heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, refrigeration
systems, off-highway and industrial equipment, and fuel cell applications. Our
broad product offerings include heat transfer modules and packages, radiators,
oil coolers, charge air coolers, vehicular air conditioning, building HVAC
equipment, and exhaust gas recirculation (“EGR”) coolers.
Consolidated
Strategy
Our goal
is to grow profitably as a leading global provider of thermal management
technology to a broad range of niche highway, off-highway and industrial end
markets. We expect to achieve this goal over the long-term through
both organic growth and through selective acquisitions. In order to
reach our goal, our strategy is diversification by geography and by end
market. We focus on:
·
|
Development
of new products and technologies for diverse end
markets;
|
·
|
A
rigorous strategic planning and corporate development process;
and
|
·
|
Operational
and financial discipline for improved profitability and long-term
stability.
|
Effective
execution of these strategies will assist us in meeting our long-term financial
goals of: (1) return on average capital employed of 11 percent to 12 percent;
(2) organic revenue growth of 4 percent to 6 percent; (3) total debt to capital
ratio below 40 percent; (4) gross margins of 18 percent to 20 percent; and (5)
selling, general and administrative (SG&A) costs less than 11.5 percent of
sales.
Development
of New Products and Technologies for Increasingly Diverse End
Markets
Our
heritage and a current competitive strength is our ability to develop new
products and technologies for current and potential customers and for new,
emerging markets. We own three global, state-of-the-art technology
centers, dedicated to the development and testing of products and
technologies. The centers are located in Racine, Wisconsin in the
U.S., in Bonlanden, Germany, and in Asan City, South Korea. Our
reputation for providing quality products and technologies has been a company
strength valued by customers, and has led to a history with few product warranty
issues. In fiscal 2008 we spent $93.2 million (representing
approximately 40 percent of SG&A expenses) on our product and technology
research and development efforts.
We
continue to benefit from relationships with customers who recognize the value of
having us participate directly in product design, development and
validation. This has resulted and should continue to result in
strong, longer-term customer relationships with companies that value
partnerships with their suppliers. In the past several years, our
product lines have been under price pressure from increased global competition,
primarily from Asia and other low cost areas. At the same time, many
of our products containing higher technology have helped us better manage
demands from customers for lower prices. Many of our technologies are
proprietary, difficult to replicate and are patent protected. We have
been granted over 2,300 patents on our technologies over the life of the Company
and work diligently to protect our intellectual property.
Strategic
Planning and Corporate Development
We employ
both a short-term and longer-term (three to five year) strategic planning
process enabling us to continually assess our opportunities, competitive
threats, and economic market challenges.
We focus
on strengthening our competitive position through strategic, global business
development activities. We continuously look for and take advantage of
opportunities to advance our position as a global leader, both by expanding our
geographic footprint and by expanding into new end markets – all with a focus on
thermal management technologies. For the most part, we generate our ideas for
potential acquisitions internally. This process allows us to identify product
gaps in the marketplace, develop new products and make additional investments to
fill those gaps. An example of our success from this process has been our
expansion activities into niche HVAC and refrigeration markets.
Operational
and Financial Discipline
We
operate in an increasingly competitive global marketplace; therefore, we must
manage our business with a disciplined focus on increasing productivity and
reducing waste. We historically operated with a “small plant” philosophy
prior to our recent repositioning activities, but the competitiveness of the
global market place requires us to move toward a greater manufacturing scale in
order to create a more competitive cost base. As costs for materials
and purchased parts rise due to global increases in the metals commodity
markets, we seek low-cost country sourcing when appropriate and enter into
contracts with some of our customers which provide for these rising costs to be
passed through to them on a lag basis. In addition, we have been
utilizing futures contracts related to various forecasted commodity purchases to
reduce our exposure to changes in these commodity prices.
We follow
a rigorous financial process for investment and returns, intended to enable
increased profitability and cash flows over the long-term with particular
emphasis on working capital improvement and prioritization of capital for
investment and disposals – driving past and current improvement in global cash
and debt management and access to sufficient credit. This focus has given us the
flexibility to capitalize on acquisition opportunities, other investments and
joint ventures, research and development, stock buy-backs, and pay dividends.
It also helps us identify and take action on underperforming assets in our
portfolio, such as our Electronics Cooling business, which was recently
sold.
Our
executive management incentive compensation is based on a return on net assets
calculation that drives our singular focus for alignment with shareholders’
interests when it comes to our capital allocation and asset management
decisions. In addition, we maintain a long-term incentive compensation plan for
officers and certain key employees which is used to attract, retain and motivate
key employees who directly impact the performance of the Company over a
time-frame greater than a year. This plan is comprised of stock options,
retention restricted stock awards and performance stock awards which are based
on a mix of earnings per share growth and growth in our stock price relative to
the market.
Consolidated
Market Conditions and Trends
The
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) market place which we serve is extremely
competitive and our customers are demanding that we continue to provide high
quality products in combination with annual price decreases. At the same
time, we are experiencing increases in the costs of our purchased parts and raw
materials – particularly aluminum, copper, steel, and stainless steel
(nickel). The combination of these factors impacts our
profitability. Material increases are subject to pass-through to our
customers on a lag basis. This lag period can average up to a year, based on the
agreements we have with an individual customer, and some of our customers are
pushing back on our attempts to pass these costs on. In addition to
our negotiations to pass material costs on to our customers, our strategy to
mitigate growing cost pressures is to accelerate new product development and
geographic expansion into new and existing niche markets. We continue
to focus on developing new and expanded proprietary technology that is of more
value in the marketplace – such as our early stage development of fuel cell
technology for energy, vehicular and other applications.
Our
Response to Current Market Conditions
In
response to the near-term conditions facing the Company, we have implemented the
following strategies to mitigate the effects these pressures have on our margins
and our goals for profitable growth and return targets:
o
|
Manufacturing realignment.
During fiscal 2007, we announced the closure of four manufacturing
facilities in the U.S. During fiscal 2008, we announced the
closure of three additional manufacturing facilities in the U.S.
(Camdenton, Missouri; Pemberville, Ohio; and Logansport, Indiana), and our
Tübingen, Germany manufacturing facility. We also have invested
in four new plants in low cost countries, including our recently completed
facilities in Changzhou, China and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico and our facilities
currently under construction in Gyöngyös, Hungary and Chennai,
India. When the manufacturing realignment process is completed,
we will compete for new business from a much improved cost competitive
position with increased asset utilization across the platform. This
process should benefit the Company at both the gross and operating margin
level and help us win incremental profitable
business.
|
o
|
Portfolio
rationalization. During fiscal 2007, we announced the
establishment of globally-focused product groups of Engine Products,
Powertrain Cooling Products, and Passenger Thermal Management Products
which support our regional segments of Original Equipment – Asia, Original
Equipment – Europe, Original Equipment – North America, and South
America. The Company is assessing its product lines globally
and its regional businesses in order to assess the competitive position
and attractiveness of these products and businesses. The goal
of this process is to identify products or businesses which should be
divested or exited as they do not meet required financial
metrics. An example of this portfolio rationalization process
is the May 1, 2008 sale of our Electronics Cooling business for $13.2
million. This business has historically not generated our
targeted returns, and the divestiture of this business should improve our
overall operating margins.
|
o
|
Capital
allocation. Our business is capital intensive, requiring
a significant amount of investment in the new technologies and products
which the Company supports. We recently introduced an enhanced
capital allocation process which is designed to allocate capital spending
to the segments and programs that will provide the highest return on our
investment. All business units are measured using specific
performance standards and they must earn the right to obtain capital to
fund growth through their
performance.
|
o
|
Selling, general and
administrative cost containment. The Company has a
target of driving SG&A levels down to 11.5 percent of
sales. Progress was made toward this goal during fiscal 2008,
with SG&A as a percentage of sales declining from 13.4 percent in
fiscal 2007 to 12.7 percent in the current year. Our goal is to
achieve the 11.5 percent of sales by fiscal 2011 through continued revenue
growth in combination with diligent SG&A cost
containment.
|
Segment
Information – Strategy, Market Conditions and Trends
In the
first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company implemented certain management
reporting changes which resulted in the Brazilian operation being reported in a
newly established South America segment; the Original Equipment – Americas
segment being renamed Original Equipment – North America; certain supporting
departments previously included within Corporate and administrative being
realigned into the Original Equipment – North America segment; the Commercial
HVAC&R segment renamed Commercial Products; and the Other segment renamed to
Fuel Cell since the Electronics Cooling business is presented as a discontinued
operation. The Original Equipment – Asia and Original Equipment –
Europe segment have no changes. The segment information for fiscal
2007 and 2006 has been revised to reflect these changes on a comparable
basis.
Each of
these segments is managed at the regional vice president or managing director
level and has separate financial results reviewed by our chief operating
decision makers. These results are used in evaluating the performance of each
business segment, and in making decisions on the allocation of resources among
our various businesses. Our chief operating decision makers evaluate segment
performance with an emphasis on gross margin, and secondarily based on operating
income of each segment, which includes certain allocations of Corporate SG&A
expenses.
Original
Equipment – Asia (14 percent of fiscal 2008 revenues)
Our Asian
operation is primarily engaged in providing vehicular climate control systems,
powertrain cooling systems and engine products to various industrial end
markets, with the greatest percentage for commercial light truck applications.
These products are sold primarily to South Korean OEMs who export a
significant portion of vehicles to other countries. Our largest customers are
Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Motors Corporation. Competitors include The Halla
group of Visteon Corporation, Doowon Climate Control Company Ltd., Samsung
Electronics, and others.
A
significant trend in our Asian business is our customers’ emphasis on lower
price over better technology, evidenced by significant price reduction demands
from Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors, two of our key customers. Many of
our products are becoming commoditized because of local suppliers’ ability to
compete head-on with pricing. This pricing environment requires a
low-cost manufacturing profile and continued operating efficiencies in order to
maintain a profitable business environment. This is particularly
applicable in our South Korean business, where we have historically been unable
to offset customer price reductions with additional operating
improvements.
Many
components that we have supplied in this region are becoming part of a module,
which increases the amount of our content on an engine. Our strategy
in this business is to control and reduce costs, secure new business, further
diversify our product offering and customer base, and focus on building
manufacturing capabilities in China and India to serve the region in a more cost
competitive manner. Construction is currently underway on our new
manufacturing facility in Chennai, India, and it should be ready for production
in fiscal 2009. Construction of the manufacturing facility in
Changzhou, China is complete and we are currently shipping low volumes of
production from this location. Several new products are scheduled to
begin production in this new facility over the next fiscal year.
Original
Equipment – Europe (40 percent of fiscal 2008 revenues)
Our
European operation is primarily engaged in providing powertrain and engine
cooling systems as well as vehicular climate control components to various end
markets, including automotive, heavy duty and industrial, commercial vehicle,
bus and off-highway OEMs. These systems include cooling modules, radiators,
charge air coolers, oil cooling products, EGR products, retarder and
transmission cooling components, and HVAC condensers. Competitors
include Behr GmbH & Co. K.G., Valeo, Denso Corporation, AKG, and a variety
of other companies.
The
business experienced strong growth with the general expansion of the European
market in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008. Our European operation was
able to benefit from the growth of its medium to heavy truck customers, its
construction machinery customers and its automotive customers
alike. At the same time the business has been successful in winning
additional program awards that will start production beginning in the 2010 time
frame. Going forward, we expect to see a further consolidation of the
customer base as well as additional emission legislation that will cause the
need for more cooling products and other new products and systems.
Trends
affecting our European business include significant price-down demands from our
European-based customers, price competition from low-cost country manufacturing
locations, and material cost increases for aluminum, stainless steel and energy
which have not been offset entirely by pass-through agreements with our
customers. At the same time customer service expectations have
increased.
To offset
these difficult market conditions in the short-term, we continue our focus on
various lean manufacturing initiatives, low-cost country sourcing and a critical
review of all SG&A related activities. For mid- and long-term
improvement, we are in the process of adjusting our manufacturing footprint, and
have begun construction of a new facility in Hungary. At the same
time we have started to phase-out our existing facility in Tübingen,
Germany. We believe there is an opportunity to be more cost
competitive and grow our business at a higher rate if we expand our operations
into lower-cost geographic areas like Eastern Europe. In addition, we
expect our European business to benefit from the output of our technology
initiatives, which will contribute to establishing technological differentiation
in the market place and thus provide leverage for new customer
agreements.
The
continued profitability of this business is dependent upon a further
strengthening of our customer relationships, on the continued growth of our
employee capabilities, on the strengthening of our advanced product development
capabilities, and on the automation and reduced cost base in our manufacturing
environment. In the interim, management is focused on process
improvement in all areas and the implementation of favorable longer-term
customer agreements.
Original
Equipment – North America (28 percent of fiscal 2008 revenues)
Our
Original Equipment – North America segment includes products and technologies
that are found on vehicles made by commercial vehicle OEMs, including Class 3-8
trucks, school buses, transit buses, motor homes and motor
coaches. It also serves the automotive, heavy duty, and industrial
markets, including agricultural, construction and industrial markets; i.e. lift
trucks, compressors and power generation.
The
majority of our North American business is derived from commercial vehicle
customers. The Environmental Protection Agency emissions mandates
(January 1, 2007 and the upcoming January 1, 2010) create cyclicality in the
Class 8 heavy-truck commercial vehicle build rates due to pre-buy activity which
occurs prior to these emission law changes. The expected cyclical
downturn in this market after the January 1, 2007 emissions law change has been
adversely impacted by the current economic concerns (credit crisis, high oil and
diesel prices, and depressed housing market) which has reduced the demand for
Class 8 trucks used to haul freight. As a result, truck build rates
in fiscal 2008 were 50 percent below the prior year levels. While the
January 1, 2007 emissions change and economic concerns created a downturn in
build rates, the change did provide an opportunity for us, as more of our
components are required on each vehicle to meet the new
standards. Additionally, we have increased our share in this market
as a result of new business wins.
Our North
American automotive business has experienced considerable deflationary price
pressure from OEMs, while at the same time the cost of raw materials and
purchased parts has increased. Many of our U.S. competitors continue
to be financially challenged. As a result, we have experienced
increased opportunities to bid on business that was previously not available to
us.
A
positive trend in our North American heavy duty and industrial businesses is
increased emission standards for agricultural and construction equipment, which
is driving increased demand for our components such as EGR coolers.
The
overall strategy for this business segment includes the following
components:
|
·
|
First,
our strategy is to reposition the segment, including reassessing our
manufacturing footprint, improving sourcing of raw materials and purchased
parts, and other programs intended to increase efficiency and right-size
capacity. During fiscal 2008, we announced the closure of three
North American manufacturing facilities within this segment, consolidating
the business into other existing locations. In addition,
construction of our new facility in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, was completed
during fiscal 2008.
|
|
·
|
Second,
we are focused on reducing lead times to bring new products to market and
offering a wider product breadth, while at the same time rationalizing the
existing product lines that do not meet required financial
metrics.
|
|
·
|
Third,
we are focused on pursuing only selected new business opportunities that
meet our minimum targeted rates of return which will enable profitable
growth to the Company.
|
South
America (7 percent of fiscal 2008 revenues)
Our South
America segment provides heat exchanger products to a variety of markets in the
domestic Brazilian market as well as for export to North America and
Europe. This business provides products to the on-highway commercial
vehicle markets, off-highway markets including construction and agricultural
applications, automotive OEMs and industrial applications, primarily for power
generation systems. This business also provides products to the
Brazilian, North American and European aftermarkets for both automotive and
commercial applications. We manufacture radiators,
charge-air-coolers, oil coolers, auxiliary coolers (transmission, hydraulic, and
power steering), engine cooling modules and HVAC system modules.
We have
benefited from strong revenue growth in the Brazilian market related to strong
economic conditions in Brazil and increased business awards from our OEM
customers. The aftermarket sales under the Radiadores Visconde brand
have continued to improve while export sales have been negatively affected by
the weakening of the U.S. dollar at the same time that the real has strengthened
against global currencies. We made capital investments in bar/plate
technology for our Brazilian operations in fiscal 2008 that will continue to
help fuel growth in the region as well as support operations in North America
and Europe.
Competitors
in the OEM sector include Behr GmbH & Co. K.G., Valeo SA, Denso Corporation
and Delphi Corporation. Our aftermarket competitors also include
these same major competitors as well as some regional competitors that focus
specifically on the Brazilian aftermarket.
Commercial
Products (11 percent of fiscal 2008 revenues)
Our
Commercial Products business provides a variety of niche products in North
America, Europe, Asia and South Africa that are used by engineers, contractors
and building owners in applications such as warehouses, repair garages,
greenhouses, residential garages, schools, computer rooms, manufacturing
facilities, banks, pharmaceutical companies, stadiums and retail stores. We
manufacture coils (copper tube aluminum fin coils and all aluminum microchannel
coils) for heating, refrigeration, air conditioning and vehicular applications.
We also manufacture heating products for commercial applications, including gas,
electric, oil and hydronic unit heaters, low intensity infrared and large roof
mounted direct and indirect fired makeup air units. Our cooling products for
commercial applications include single packaged vertical units and vertical unit
ventilators used in school room applications, computer room air conditioning
units, air and water cooled chillers, ceiling cassettes, and roof top cooling
units used in a variety of commercial building applications.
Competitors
include Lennox International Inc. (ADP), Luvata (Heatcraft / ECO), Thomas &
Betts (Reznor), Mestek Inc. (Sterling), Emerson Electric Company
(Liebert/Hiross), United Technologies Corporation (Carrier) and Johnson
Controls, Inc. (York). Revenues have increased primarily due to the
acquisition of Airedale in fiscal 2006. However, the segment has
grown organically as well, due to growth in coil sales and unit heater sales in
North America. Margins in this business have been negatively affected
by increased commodity costs – a trend which is expected to continue. Economic
conditions, such as demand for new commercial construction, are drivers of
demand for the heating and cooling products.
Fuel
Cell (< 1 percent of fiscal 2008 revenues)
Our fuel
cell business is a developmental stage enterprise supporting the highly complex
thermal management needs of fuel cell systems. These fuel cell
systems are used in stationary power applications, micro-CHP, vehicle engine
applications, and hydrogen fuel processing.
As macro
economic trends have shifted causing increased development of alternatives to
oil-based fuel, we have intensified our activity in this business. During fiscal
2008, we continued to work with Bloom Energy to provide components for their
early stage prototype stationery power units that should be commercially
available in the next few years. We view our thermal solutions for stationery
power units as a potentially significant long-term growth driver for the Company
due to increased global demand for fuel cell technology, driven by demand for a
sustainable, environmentally sound and independent means of
power.
In the
past year we have increased our solid oxide fuel cell activities and have begun
developing products in support of the micro-CHP (combined heat and power)
market. These fuel cell based systems are expected to emerge,
primarily in Europe, over the next several years as a direct replacement for the
small boilers found in homes using hydronic heating systems. In
addition to efficient production of hot water for heat, the device is designed
to produce electricity to supplement the electrical needs of the
home. We have been working with Ceres Power, a UK based developer of
these systems, to expand the Company’s presence in this residential
market. We are not aware of any competitor of ours that has the same
level of focus on this market.
Outlook
Challenging
market factors are expected to continue to impact the business into fiscal 2009,
including ongoing raw material cost increases, as well as continued pressure
from vehicular customers for product price reductions. Fiscal 2009 is
anticipated to be positively impacted by a strong line-up of new business
programs, continued strength in our Original Equipment – Europe and South
American businesses, as well as within our North American and United Kingdom
heating and air conditioning markets in our Commercial Products
business. The anticipated continued strength of foreign currencies
against the U.S. dollar, particularly the euro, should also positively impact
our business. These positive factors will be partially offset by continued low
truck build rates in the U.S., as well as a difficult South Korean business
environment.
In fiscal
2009 and beyond, we intend to remain focused on our strategies of realigning our
manufacturing footprint and rationalization of our portfolio. When
completed over the next two years, these strategies and actions will make us a
more cost competitive, innovative and efficient technology provider to our
current and future customers. We believe these actions will help us
to achieve our long-term goals of 11 percent to 12 percent return on average
capital employed, 18 percent to 20 percent gross margin, 11.5 percent SG&A
as a percentage of sales, and asset turnover of 2.5 times our annual
sales.
Consolidated
Results of Operations - Continuing Operations
Fiscal
2008 revenues were $1.8 billion, representing an increase of $127 million, or
7.4 percent, from fiscal 2007. The growth in revenues was primarily
related to strong volumes in Europe, South America, and Commercial
Products. In fiscal 2008 we reported a loss from continuing
operations of $66 million compared to earnings from continuing operations of $39
million in fiscal 2007. The increase in revenues was more than offset
by a reduction in gross margins related to lower than anticipated North America
truck volumes, manufacturing inefficiencies experienced as part of plant
closures and consolidations, and pricing pressures from
customers. During fiscal 2008, the following significant charges were
recorded by the Company:
|
·
|
Goodwill
impairment charge – A goodwill impairment charge of $24 million was
recorded in our Original Equipment – North America
business. During the fiscal year, the Company’s outlook for
this business was reduced, which resulted in the book value of assets
employed in this business exceeding the fair value of this
business. Several factors contributed to this reduced outlook
for the Original Equipment – North America
business:
|
|
o
|
Our
future growth prospects within this business have declined from previous
management projections. The recent decline in the North
American truck market has caused us to reexamine our assumptions around
future emissions law changes, specifically the upcoming change in fiscal
2010. In addition, we are estimating reduced prospects for
future business, as our customers have shifted programs outside of North
America.

future outlook includes lower margins than our previous expectations for
this business. Plant closures and inefficiencies related to new
product launches are having a near-term impact on our margins, and
continued industry-wide customer pricing pressures are anticipated to
adversely affect the North American vehicular market. Our
products have an increasing material content, which makes offsetting these
pricing pressures through manufacturing improvements more
difficult.

Long-lived
asset impairment charges – We recorded impairment charges of $23 million
against certain long-lived assets. Included in this amount is a
$12 million charge related to an impairment review of our South Korean
business, as this business continues to underperform our expectations and
financial targets. A charge of $3 million was related to an
impairment review of our long-lived assets in Original Equipment – North
America, where a program was identified as being unable to support its
asset base. An additional $3 million charge was related to an
impairment of long-lived assets in the Commercial Products segment for the
cancellation of a product in its development stage. The
remaining $5 million impairment charge was recorded for our Tübingen,
Germany manufacturing facility in Europe, which will be
closed.
|
|
·
|
Repositioning
charges – We recorded repositioning charges of $10 million related to our
manufacturing realignment activities including the completed closure of
our Toledo, Ohio and Richland, South Carolina facilities within the
Original Equipment – North America segment. Included in this
amount is $4 million of restructuring charges and $6 million of other
related costs.
|
During fiscal 2008, the
Company recorded a valuation allowance of $65 million primarily against the net
deferred tax assets in the U.S. and South Korean tax
jurisdictions. This valuation allowance contributed to the increase
in the provision for income taxes from $6 million in fiscal 2007 to $44 million
in fiscal 2008. The valuation allowance charges primarily
related to projected losses in the U.S. and South Korea, which resulted in the
determination that it was more likely than not that the U.S. and South Korean
deferred taxes would not be realized, requiring a full valuation
allowance. The current year decline in profitability in our Original
Equipment – North America business, coupled with the decline in future outlook
for the North American and South Korean businesses, were significant factors
contributing to the projected losses and the need for the valuation
allowance.

Year
Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2007:
Net sales
increased $127 million, or 7.4 percent, to $1.8 billion in fiscal 2008 from $1.7
billion in fiscal 2007. The increase in revenues consisted of $96
million related to favorable impact of changing foreign currency exchange rates
and $31 million of organic growth. Revenues were driven by strong
foreign volumes in the Original Equipment – Europe, South America and Commercial
Products segments, which were offset by declines in the Original Equipment –
North America segment primarily in the truck market.
Gross
profit decreased $11 million, or 3.9 percent, to $270 million in fiscal 2008
from $281 million in fiscal 2007. In addition, gross margin decreased
from 16.3 percent in fiscal 2007 to 14.6 percent in fiscal 2008. The
decrease in gross profit and gross margin is primarily driven by the impact of
the decrease in North American truck volumes, manufacturing inefficiencies
experienced as part of plant closures and consolidations, and pricing pressures
from customers. In addition, repositioning costs of $5 million were
recorded in gross profit during fiscal 2008, as the Company continued to
reposition its global manufacturing footprint.
SG&A
expenses increased $3 million, or 1.3 percent, to $235 million in fiscal 2008
from $232 million in fiscal 2007, but decreased as a percentage of sales to 12.7
percent from 13.5 percent. The net increase is primarily due to
ongoing expansion in the Original Equipment – Asia
segment. Restructuring charges were consistent from fiscal 2007 to
fiscal 2008, and related primarily to severance costs incurred under our
announced restructuring plans. During fiscal 2008, asset impairment
charges of $47 million were recorded including a goodwill impairment charge of
$24 million and a long-lived asset impairment charge of $3 million recorded in
the Original Equipment – North America segment, a long-lived asset impairment
charge of $5 million recorded in the Original Equipment – Europe segment, a
long-lived asset impairment charge of $12 recorded in the Original Equipment –
Asia segment, and a long-lived asset impairment charge of $3 million recorded in
the Commercial Products segment. The decrease in gross profit
combined with the impairment charges contributed to the $62 million decrease in
operating income from fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008.
Interest
expense increased $3 million from fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008 related to an
increase in outstanding debt during the year. Borrowings increased
during fiscal 2008 to finance capital expenditures of $87 million and a $38
million increase in working capital.
The
provision for income taxes increased $38 million, or 633 percent, to $44 million
in fiscal 2008 from $6 million in fiscal 2007. The increase in the
provision for income taxes was due to a valuation allowance of $65 million
recorded against net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and South Korean tax
jurisdictions. Due to the current market conditions and future
projections in these tax jurisdictions, the Company determined that it was more
likely than not that the U.S. and South Korean deferred tax assets will not be
realized. The effective income tax
rate differed from the U.S. statutory income tax rate of 35 percent primarily
due to the impact of the valuation allowance recorded during the
year.
Year
Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended March 31, 2006:
Net sales
increased $126 million, or 7.9 percent, to $1.7 billion in fiscal 2007 from $1.6
billion in fiscal 2006. The increase in revenues was driven by $77
million of acquired revenues related to the May 2006 acquisition of Modine
Brazil, $36 million related to favorable impact of changing foreign currency
exchange rates and $15 million of organic growth. Organic revenues
were driven by strength in truck and heavy-duty and industrial markets. Strong
sales in the European automotive, North American truck and global heavy duty
markets were offset by moderate declines in the North American automotive
market, based on continued softness experienced in the market and overall price
down pressures reducing sales prices per unit.
Gross
profit decreased $31 million, or 9.9 percent, to $281 million in fiscal 2007
from $312 million in fiscal 2006. The decrease in gross profit is
primarily driven by higher global commodity pricing and customer price decreases
experienced during the fiscal year. Gross margin decreased 320 basis
points to 16.3 percent in fiscal 2007 from 19.5 percent in fiscal
2006. The primary contributing factor to the decline in gross margin
has been the steady increase in raw material prices which started during the
third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 and continued through fiscal
2007. The most significant commodities used in our manufacturing
process are aluminum, copper and nickel. Aluminum prices increased 27
percent on average from fiscal 2006 to fiscal 2007, and copper prices increased
67 percent on average from fiscal 2006 to fiscal 2007. Nickel has
experienced a 112 percent increase on average from fiscal 2006 to fiscal 2007
which resulted in considerably more cost to the Company. We have
agreements with certain customers to pass-through these higher commodity prices
to them in our sales price; however, these pass-through agreements can lag up to
one year behind the actual price increases, or may not provide us the ability to
recover the entire material price increase. These commodity price
increases were the primary factor contributing to the decrease in gross margin,
as the material component of cost of sales increased from 49 percent of net
sales in fiscal 2006 to 53 percent of net sales in fiscal 2007. In
addition, repositioning costs of $4 million were recorded in gross profit during
the fiscal year as the Company continued to reposition its manufacturing
footprint.
SG&A
expenses and restructuring charges increased $25 million, or 11.8 percent, to
$236 million in fiscal 2007 from $211 million in fiscal
2006. Approximately $11 million of the increase in SG&A was
related to the acquisition of Modine Brazil in May 2006. The
remaining increase in SG&A was primarily driven by $3 million of
repositioning costs recorded during fiscal 2007. The decrease in
gross profit combined with the increase in SG&A expenses contributed to the
$56 million decrease in operating income from $101 million in fiscal 2006 to $45
million in fiscal 2007.
Interest
expense increased $3 million from fiscal 2006 to fiscal 2007 related to an
increase in outstanding debt during the year, partially offset by a reduction in
the effective interest rate achieved in conjunction with refinancing activities
completed during the fiscal year. Borrowings increased during fiscal
2007 to finance the Modine Brazil acquisition of $11 million and the share
repurchase program of $13 million.
Other
income increased $1 million from fiscal 2006 to fiscal 2007. This
increase is primarily due to a purchase price settlement of $3 million received
during fiscal 2007 relating to the fiscal 2005 acquisition of WiniaMando’s
Automotive Climate Control Division. This is partially offset by the
reduction in equity earnings of non-consolidated joint ventures due to the May
2006 acquisition of the remaining 50 percent of Modine Brazil.
The
provision for income taxes decreased $24 million, or 80.0 percent, to $6 million
in fiscal 2007 from $30 million in fiscal 2006. In addition, the
effective income tax rate decreased to 13.8 percent in fiscal 2007 from 29.0
percent in fiscal 2006. The decrease in the effective income tax rate
was related to a $4.1 million benefit from net operating losses in Brazil that
were previously unavailable prior to the acquisition of Modine Brazil, and a tax
benefit of $2.5 million from a research and development tax credit which was
extended. The effective income tax rate differed from the U.S.
statutory income tax rate of 35 percent primarily due to the impact of the
Brazil net operating loss benefit, the research and development credit discussed
above, as well as the impact of various state and foreign income
taxes.
Discontinued
Operations
On May 1,
2007, the Company announced it would explore strategic alternatives for its
Electronics Cooling business and presented it as held for sale and as a
discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements for all periods
presented. The Electronics Cooling business was sold on May 1, 2008
for $13.2 million, resulting in a gain on sale. On July 22, 2005, the
Company completed the spin off of its Aftermarket business and the immediate
merger of the spun off business into Proliance International, Inc. (formerly
known as Transpro, Inc.). The Aftermarket business has been presented
as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial
statements. In fiscal 2006, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to
earnings of $53.5 million to reflect the difference between the value that
Modine shareholders received in Proliance, a function of the price of Proliance.
at the time of the closing of the spin off, and the asset carrying value of
Modine’s Aftermarket business. After earnings (loss) from
discontinued operations and loss on spin off of discontinued operations, a net
loss of $65.6 million was reported in fiscal 2008, and net earnings of $42.3
million and $7.6 million were reported in fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006,
respectively. This resulted in a loss per fully diluted share of
$2.05 in fiscal 2008, and earnings per fully diluted share of $1.31 and $0.22 in
fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively.

Net sales
within the Original Equipment – Asia segment increased $12 million, or 5.8
percent in fiscal 2007 and $49 million, or 22.4 percent in fiscal 2008 based on
continued strength in condenser and bus air conditioning
products. The fiscal 2007 increase was partially offset by a general
softness experienced in the Korean economy early in fiscal 2007 coupled with a
strike at a customer facility. Foreign currency exchange rate changes
favorably impacted sales by $15 million and $6 million in fiscal 2007 and 2008,
respectively.
Gross
margin has decreased from 9.2 percent in fiscal 2006 to 8.2 percent in fiscal
2007. Weak sales volumes resulting from the strike at a customer
facility, as well as customer pricing pressures, drove this decrease in fiscal
2007. Gross margin increased from 8.2 percent in fiscal 2007 to 9.3
percent in fiscal 2008 due to purchasing savings and higher sales volumes which
offset customer price downs. SG&A expenses remained consistent in
fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007 and increased $8 million in fiscal
2008. This increase is due to ongoing expansion in this region with
the construction of new manufacturing facilities in China and India, as well as
the establishment of a corporate office in China. The new
manufacturing facility in Changzhou, China began production in the third quarter
of fiscal 2008, and the Chennai, India facility is scheduled to being production
in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Long-lived asset impairment
charges of $12 million were recorded during fiscal 2008 related to an impairment
review of the South Korean business which has historically underperformed our
expectations, and is projected to continue to underperform into the
future. Improved financial performance for this business is dependent
on significant commercial concessions by the primary customers, as well as labor
cost reductions.

Net sales
within the Original Equipment – Europe segment increased $50 million, or 9.3
percent, from fiscal 2006 to fiscal 2007 primarily from growth in the heavy-duty
market. During fiscal 2008, the $162 million, or 27.5 percent
increase in net sales was primarily based on strength in powertrain cooling
products, engine related products and condenser sales
volumes. Exchange rate changes of $21 million and $69 million had a
favorable impact on net sales in fiscal 2007 and 2008,
respectively.
Gross
margin has gradually declined over the past few years from 22.6 percent in
fiscal 2006 to 18.6 percent in fiscal 2008. The decrease from fiscal
2006 to fiscal 2007 was primarily due to higher commodity prices and certain
warranty issues experienced during fiscal 2007, as well as customer pricing
pressures by the OEMs. The decrease from fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008 was due to a
change in mix of sales towards lower margin products, as well as customer price
downs which we were not entirely able to offset with purchasing savings and
performance improvements in our manufacturing facilities. SG&A
expenses were consistent over the past three years on a larger sales base,
resulting in an improvement as a percentage of sales within this
segment. An impairment charge of $5 million was recorded in fiscal
2008 at the Tübingen, Germany manufacturing facility in conjunction with the
announced closure of this facility within the next 18 to 24
months. Income from continuing operations decreased $10 million in
fiscal 2007 due to the reduction in gross margin. Income from
continuing operations improved $25 million in fiscal 2008 based on the
contribution impact of the increased sales volumes. Construction is
currently underway for our new Gyöngyös, Hungary facility within this region,
with production scheduled to begin in fiscal 2009.
During
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, adjustments of $2.1 million were recorded
within this segment to correct errors that related to prior quarters and annual
periods consisting of $1.4 million related to an understatement of accounts
payable and $0.7 million related to the understatement of a value added tax
liability. These adjustments were made in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2008 as they were deemed immaterial to previously issued financial
statements and full year fiscal 2008 results. Based on these
adjustments, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over
financial reporting due to ineffective controls over reconciliations within this
segment. We are developing and implementing remediation plans to
address this material weakness including the creation of a standardized workplan
for account reconciliations and trial balance reviews which will be accompanied
by appropriate monitoring procedures.

Net sales
within the Original Equipment – North America segment decreased $15 million, or
2.2 percent, from fiscal 2006 to fiscal 2007, and decreased $146 million, or
21.9 percent, from fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008. The sales decline is
largely due to the downturn in the North American truck market following the
January 1, 2007 emission regulations. In addition, sales in the
automotive market are down due to higher gas prices and a consumer shift from
light trucks and full SUVs to cars and small SUVs.
Gross
margin decreased from 18.0 percent in fiscal 2006, to 13.5 percent in fiscal
2007, and decreased further to 5.6 percent in fiscal 2008. The
deterioration in gross margin from fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008 has been driven by
the following two factors: (1) The significant reduction in sales volumes has
resulted in a decline in gross profit, an underabsorption of fixed overhead
costs and a lower gross margin as we have excess capacity in many of our North
American facilities: and (2) the manufacturing realignment currently in progress
in North America, including the process of closing operating facilities,
transferring and consolidating product lines and launching new product lines has
caused operating inefficiencies which have impacted the gross
margin. SG&A expenses have held relatively consistent yet
increased as a percentage of sales within this segment from fiscal 2007 to
fiscal 2008. A goodwill impairment charge of $24 million was recorded
during fiscal 2008 as a result of a declining outlook for this
segment. These reduced expectations were based on declining sales
volumes and lower gross margin related to plant closures, product-line transfers
and continued customer pricing pressures which are impacting the North American
vehicular industry. In addition, a long-lived asset impairment charge
of $3 million was recorded during fiscal 2008 as the result of a program line
which was not able to support its asset base. Income from continuing
operations decreased $35 million in fiscal 2007 primarily driven by the decline
in gross margin related to commodity price increases and customer pricing
pressures. Income from continuing operations decreased $89 million in
fiscal 2008 to a loss from continuing operations of $45 million primarily due to
the significant decrease in sales and gross margin coupled with the asset
impairment charges recorded during the year.

South
America is comprised of our Brazilian operation which was acquired in May 2007
through a purchase of the remaining 50 percent of the Radiadores Visconde Ltda.
(Modine Brazil) joint venture. Prior to this, the operating activity
of Modine Brazil was reported in the consolidated financial statements through
equity earnings from non-consolidated affiliates. South America’s
operations for fiscal 2007 represent ten months of results after the May 2006
acquisition of the remaining 50 percent of this business.
Net sales
within South America increased $56 million, or 72.7 percent from fiscal 2007 to
fiscal 2008, based on continued strength in the Brazilian agricultural and
commercial vehicle markets, along with strength in the overall Brazilian
economy. In addition, foreign currency exchange rate changes
favorably impacted sales by $17 million.
Gross
margin decreased slightly from 20.8 percent during fiscal 2007 to 20.3 percent
in fiscal 2008, driven by higher material procurement costs and incremental
costs related to the launch of bar/plate oil cooler production in Brazil during
fiscal 2008. SG&A expenses increased $5 million primarily due to
the impact of foreign currency rate changes. In addition, fiscal 2007
SG&A represented ten months of results while fiscal 2008 represented twelve
months of results, contributing to this increase. Income from
continuing operations improved $6 million based largely on the increased sales
volumes.

Net sales
within the Commercial Products segment increased $8 million, or 4.7 percent,
from fiscal 2006 to fiscal 2007, and increased $20 million, or 11.2 percent,
from fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008. The fiscal 2007 increase in net
sales is primarily related to growing air conditioning sales in the U.S. as the
Airedale product was further expanded into this market during fiscal
2007. The fiscal 2008 increase is driven by strong air conditioning
sales in the United Kingdom and increased heating and air conditioning product
sales in North America. In addition, foreign currency exchange rate
changes favorably impacted sales by $4 million.
Gross
margin decreased from 25.7 percent in fiscal 2006 to 21.8 percent in fiscal
2007, and showed slight improvement to 22.6 percent in fiscal
2008. The decrease from fiscal 2006 to fiscal 2007 is primarily due
to the changing mix of products within this segment toward lower margin air
conditioning products. Performance improvements within the
manufacturing operations contributed to the gross margin increase in fiscal
2008. SG&A expenses have remained relatively consistent over the
past few years but have improved as a percentage of sales. A
long-lived asset impairment charge of $3 million was recorded in fiscal 2008 as
the result of the cancellation of a product in its development
stage. Income from continuing operations decreased $7 million in
fiscal 2007 due to the margin reduction impact of the product mix
change. The $2 million increase in income from continuing operations
in fiscal 2008 is the result of improved sales volumes and gross margin
partially offset by the long-lived asset impairment charge.

Fuel cell
is in the start-up phase. We continue to partner with customers such
as Bloom Energy and Ceres Power to provide, in the near future, clean,
continuous power applying fuel cell technology to stand-alone power
systems. We believe that fuel cell technology has the long-term
potential to contribute up to 10 percent of the Company’s consolidated revenues
toward the end of the five year planning period based on customer estimates of
volumes.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
The
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. The Company expects to meet its future operating, capital expenditure
and strategic acquisition costs primarily through these sources.
During
fiscal 2008, the Company reported cash flows from operating activities of $67.4
million, which is $35.0 million less than the $102.4 million reported in the
prior year. As a result of this decrease, the Company increased its
outstanding borrowings by $47.2 million during fiscal 2008, providing the
Company with the ability to fund $87.0 million of capital expenditures for
various key programs and pursue growth opportunities while addressing
challenging market conditions. The Company maintains a solid balance
sheet and financial position, and expects cash flows from operations and
available borrowings under the credit agreements to be sufficient to meet our
liquidity needs. Working capital, which continues to be a key
management focus, was $186.8 million at the end of fiscal 2008, higher than the
$148.9 million balance one year ago, primarily due to working capital needs with
the growing business volumes. Compared with the prior year, days
sales outstanding improved two days to 51 days. Inventory turns
improved from 12.9 to 13.2 turns. Cash increased $17.1 million to
$38.3 million at March 31, 2008. The ratio of Modine’s total debt to
capital was 32.6 percent at the end of fiscal 2008 compared to 26.7 percent at
the end of fiscal 2007.
Worldwide,
Modine had approximately $177.3 million in unused lines of credit at March 31,
2008, compared with $229.5 million at March 31, 2007. An additional
$75.0 million is available on the credit line revolver, subject to lenders’
approval, bringing the total available to $252.3 million in fiscal
2008. The revolving credit agreement matures in October 2009 and the
Company has begun the renegotiation process to refinance this debt.
Certain
of the Company’s debt agreements require it to maintain specific financial
ratios and place certain limitations on dividend payments and the acquisition of
our common stock. At December 26, 2007, we would have been in
violation of certain debt agreements due to the goodwill impairment charge of
$23.8 million recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 absent amendments
to certain financial covenants. On February 1, 2008, we reached an
agreement with our primary lenders to amend our debt agreements. The
primary purpose of the amendments was to secure prospective relief under the
earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to interest expense ratio (interest
coverage ratio), and to permit the add-back of certain cash and non-cash
charges. The cash charges relate to Modine’s recently announced
restructuring program, where we are permitted to add back future cash-related
charges up to a basket limit of $25 million through fiscal 2010. We
were in compliance with all amended financial ratios effective December 26, 2007
and March 31, 2008. In connection with these amendments, interest
costs increased 35 basis points on the $150 million of private placement notes
for the period of April 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. In addition,
we incurred $0.4 million of amendment fees.
The
amended covenants allow the add-back of certain non-cash charges including the
third quarter goodwill impairment charge and the fourth quarter long-lived asset
impairment charge for our South Korean business, and thus to be in compliance
with the financial covenants as of December 26, 2007 and March 31,
2008. The amendment to allow the add-back of certain cash charges was
completed so that the Company may conduct the recently announced restructuring
actions within the bounds of the financial covenants.
The
prospective relief to the interest coverage ratio provided in the amended
agreement was necessary in order for the Company to continue to comply with this
covenant on a quarterly basis over the next two fiscal years. We
assess our ability to meet the amended interest coverage ratio based on an
analysis of the Company’s fiscal 2009 and 2010 plans. We conducted a
sensitivity analysis of our fiscal 2009 plan against our financial covenants,
with particular focus on a quarterly review of the anticipated fiscal 2009
results. This sensitivity analysis identified that we have
approximately $6 million to $15 million of quarterly EBIT “cushion” under the
interest coverage ratio beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2009 and
ending with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. This quarterly EBIT
“cushion” has increased slightly from the $5 million to $9 million cushion
projected at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The ongoing
achievement of our plan is critical to remaining in compliance with the
financial covenants, and we believe that the plan is
achievable. Therefore management anticipates that we will remain in
compliance with the interest coverage ratio through fiscal 2009, with ongoing
compliance thereafter. The other significant financial covenant
included within our debt agreements is a debt-to-earnings before interest,
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ratio (leverage
ratio). Our EBITDA “cushion” within the leverage ratio is
substantially greater than our EBIT “cushion”.
Our
ongoing ability to remain in compliance with the amended financial covenants
assumes a debt level relatively consistent with the March 31, 2008 balance of
$226.5 million. The Company believes that this is an achievable
assumption based on the availability of cash provided by operating activities,
as well as additional sources of cash. These additional sources
include the $10.8 million of cash proceeds from the May 1, 2008 sale of our
Electronics Cooling business, as well as potential proceeds to be generated by
our portfolio rationalization efforts. We will continue to tightly
manage our anticipated capital spending in fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2010, and
anticipate this spending, net of potential dispositions, to be near our current
depreciation levels. To the extent that these sources of cash
are not sufficient to fully fund our cash requirements, we currently estimate
that we could incur additional borrowings averaging approximately $107
million under our domestic unused lines of credit without violating a
financial covenant, although this level of borrowing would nearly eliminate our
EBIT “cushion”.
On
December 7, 2006, the Company issued $50.0 million of 5.68 percent Series A
Senior notes due in 2017 and $25.0 million of 5.68 percent Series B Senior notes
due in 2018. The proceeds from the notes were used for general
corporate purposes, including repayment of borrowings on existing domestic credit
lines. For further details, see Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

The
capital expenditure commitments are primarily comprised of tooling and equipment
expenditures for new and renewal platforms with new and current customers on a
global basis.
Net
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash
provided by operating activities in fiscal 2008 was $67.4 million, down $35.0
million from the prior year of $102.4 million, driven by a reduction in earnings
and growth in working capital. Major changes in operating assets and
liabilities contributing to the overall decrease in cash provided by operating
activities were a $21.6 million increase in accounts receivable based on higher
sales volumes, a $16.1 million decrease in accounts payable due to timing of
payments, and a $5.4 million year-over-year reduction to cash from an increase
in inventories to support the growing business volumes. These
decreases were partially offset by favorable changes including a $7.7 million
increase from income taxes and a $20.3 million increase in accrued expenses and
other current liabilities.
Net cash
provided by operating activities in fiscal 2007 was $102.4 million, down $27.0
million from the prior year of $129.4 million. Major changes in
operating assets and liabilities contributing to the overall decrease in cash
provided by operating activities were a $36.3 million decrease in accounts
payable due to timing of payments, a $17.8 million reduction in income taxes, a
$15.7 million decrease in cash due to other current assets, and a $4.5 million
year-over-year reduction to cash from an increase in inventories to support the
growing business volumes. These decreases were partially offset by
favorable changes including a $57.8 million increase in cash from accounts
receivable due to better collection efforts and a $6.9 million increase in
accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
Capital
Expenditures
Capital
expenditures were $87.0 million for fiscal 2008, which was $4.3 million higher
than the prior year. The primary spending occurred in the Original
Equipment – North America segment which totaled $23.1 million, the Original
Equipment – Europe segment which totaled $32.8 million and the Original
Equipment – Asia segment which accounted for $19.3 million in capital
spending. The increase in capital expenditures primarily relates to
tooling and equipment purchases in conjunction with new global program launches
with new and current customers in Europe, Asia and North America, along with the
construction of new facilities in Asia, Europe and North America.
Capital
expenditures were $82.8 million for fiscal 2007, which were $2.9 million higher
than fiscal 2006. The primary spending occurred in the Original
Equipment – North America segment which totaled $25.5 million, the Original
Equipment – Europe segment which totaled $22.1 million, the Original Equipment –
Asia segment which totaled $8.7 million and Corporate which accounted for $15.1
million in capital spending. The increase in capital expenditures
primarily relates to tooling and equipment purchases in conjunction with new
global program launches of new truck programs in North America which
incorporated the new emission restrictions subsequent to the January 1, 2007
change.
Capital
expenditures were $79.9 million for fiscal 2006. The primary spending
occurred in the Original Equipment – North America segment which recorded $19.9
million in spending, the Original Equipment - Europe segment which totaled $28.1
million and Corporate which accounted for $18.3 million in capital
spending. Spending on truck programs in North America and Europe,
together with spending on programs for BMW in Europe accounted for some of the
more significant equipment and tooling expenditures. The
implementation of new manufacturing and financial systems in North America also
contributed to the expenditures in fiscal 2006.
Acquisitions
and Investments in Affiliates
Modine
spent $11.1 million, net of cash acquired, on the acquisition of Modine Brazil
in May of fiscal 2007. Modine spent $38.0 million, net of cash
acquired, on the acquisition of Airedale in May of fiscal 2006. Refer
to Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion of these acquisitions.
Spin
off of Aftermarket Business
During
fiscal 2006 the Company completed the spin off of its Aftermarket business as
discussed in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. Included in the assets that were spun off was $6.3
million of cash. As part of the spin off, Modine shareholders
received $51.3 million of Proliance stock which is shown as non-cash activity in
the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows.
Proceeds
from the Disposition of Assets
In fiscal
2008, the Company received proceeds from the disposition of assets of $10.0
million, including approximately $5.0 million from the sale of a corporate
aircraft, $3.2 million from the sale of the Richland, South Carolina facility
which closed in fiscal 2007, and $1.8 million from the sale of other
equipment.
In fiscal
2007 and fiscal 2006, the Company received proceeds from the disposition of
assets of $0.9 million, respectively. These dispositions were spread
across operating segments and consisted primarily of insignificant dispositions
of machinery and equipment.
Changes
in Debt: Short- and Long-Term
In fiscal
2008, overall debt increased $47.2 million primarily from new borrowings in
North America. Domestically, debt grew by $43.0 million with
borrowings on the revolving credit facility used primarily to fund capital
expenditures. International debt increased $4.2 million during fiscal
2008.
In fiscal
2007, overall debt increased $21.5 million primarily from new borrowings in
North America. Domestically, debt grew by $64.0 million with
borrowings of $75.0 million through private placement of notes used to finance
the Modine Brazil acquisition and the share repurchase
program. Outstanding debt in Europe of 41 million euro ($52.3 million
U.S. equivalent) was paid in full during fiscal 2007.
In fiscal
2006, overall debt increased $52.2 million primarily from new borrowings in
Europe and North America. Domestically, debt grew by $13.4 million as
$75.0 million was borrowed through a private placement of notes while $60.6
million was repaid on a loan that matured in September 2005. The
remaining $1.0 million decrease resulted from a repayment under the revolving
credit agreement. In Europe, a new 71.0 million euro ($84.2 million
U.S. equivalent) loan was taken out in December 2005 with the proceeds being
used to purchase a portion of the shares in Modine’s Austrian operating
subsidiary, Modine Austria GmbH, for the purpose of repatriation of cash from
Modine subsidiaries in Europe. At March 31, 2006, 30 million euro
($35.6 million U.S. equivalent) was paid. Short-term loans
outstanding of $6.0 million represented overdrafts at the Company’s European
subsidiaries.
Common
Stock and Treasury Stock
During
fiscal 2008, the Company repurchased and retired 250,000 shares of the Company’s
common stock for $6.9 million under the anti-dilution portion of one of the
common share repurchase programs. In addition, the Company
repurchased approximately 42,000 common shares for treasury at a cost of $0.8
million in fiscal 2008. A second share repurchase program expired on
July 26, 2007. No share repurchases were made under this program in
fiscal 2008. In fiscal 2007, the Company continued with two common
stock share repurchase programs that were approved by the Board of
Directors. Under these programs, the Company repurchased and retired
502,600 shares of the Company’s common stock for $13.3 million for the year
ended March 31, 2007. The programs were undertaken to offset dilution
created by shares issued for stock option and award plans, as well as to
repurchase shares when the Company believes market conditions are
favorable. In addition to these repurchases, the Company also
repurchased 49,000 common shares for treasury at a cost of $1.3 million in
fiscal 2007. These repurchases were mainly to satisfy tax
withholdings requirements for restricted stock awards that vested and stock
option exercises. Common stock and treasury stock activity is further
detailed in Note 22 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Dividends
Paid
Dividends
were $22.6 million for fiscal 2008 and 2007, and $23.9 million for fiscal
2006. The effective dividend rates paid were 70 cents per share for
fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006. The Board of Directors authorized a
reduction in the Company’s quarterly cash dividend on its common stock to a rate
of 10 cents per share beginning in fiscal 2009. The primary purpose
in reducing the dividend is to provide additional financial flexibility and
support reinvestment for growth during the Company’s restructuring
period. On May 21, 2008, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly
dividend of 10 cents per share payable on June 20, 2008 to shareholders of
record on June 6, 2008.
Settlement
of Derivative Contracts
In fiscal
2008, the Company entered into future contracts related to forecasted purchases
of aluminum and natural gas which were treated as cash flow
hedges. Unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are deferred
as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and recognized
as a component of earnings at the same time that the underlying purchases of
aluminum and natural gas impact earnings. During fiscal 2008, $2.0
million of expense was recorded in cost of sales related to the settlement of
certain futures contracts. At March 31, 2008, $1.4 million of
unrealized gains remain deferred in other comprehensive income, and will be
realized as a component of cost of sales over the next nine
months. The Company also entered into future contracts related to
forecasted purchases of copper and nickel which were not designated as cash flow
hedges. Therefore, gains and losses on these contracts are recorded
directly in the consolidated statement of operations. During fiscal
2008, $0.2 million of income was recorded in cost of sales related to these
future contracts. The Company also entered into zero cost collars to
offset the foreign exchange exposure on intercompany loans. These
contracts were not designated as hedges, accordingly transaction gains and
losses on the derivatives are recorded in other income – net in the consolidated
statement of operations. During fiscal 2008, $1.6 million of expense
was recorded to other income – net in the consolidated statement of operations
related to these zero cost collars.
In fiscal
2007, the Company entered into two forward starting swaps in anticipation of a
$75.0 million private placement debt offering that occurred on December 7,
2006. These swaps were settled during fiscal 2007 with a loss of $1.8
million being recorded. This loss was reflected as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is being amortized to interest
expense over the respective eleven and twelve year lives of the debt
offerings. During fiscal 2008 and 2007, $0.2 million and $0.04
million of this loss, respectively, was recognized as interest
expense. At March 31, 2008, $1.0 million of the loss is deferred in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes. In
fiscal 2007, the Company also entered into future contracts related to
forecasted purchases of aluminum and natural gas which were treated as cash flow
hedges. Unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are deferred
as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and recognized
as a component of earnings at the same time that the underlying purchases of
aluminum and natural gas impact earnings. During fiscal 2007, $0.4
million of income was recorded as a component of earnings related to the
settlement of certain futures contracts.
In fiscal
2006, the Company entered into a derivative forward contract which was used to
mitigate cash flow losses for maturing foreign denominated debt. This
contract was settled during fiscal 2006 with a loss of $0.4 million recorded
within the consolidated statement of operations. In fiscal 2006, the
Company also entered into a cash flow hedge of a benchmark interest rate in
anticipation of a private placement borrowing. This contract was
settled during fiscal 2006 with a loss of $1.8 million being
recorded. This loss was reflected as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) and is being amortized to interest expense over the
ten-year life of the private placement borrowing. During fiscal 2008,
2007 and 2006, $0.1 million of this loss, respectively, was recognized as
interest expense and the remaining loss of $0.8 million is deferred in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) at March 31, 2008, net of
taxes.
Research
and Development
In fiscal
2008, Modine increased its research and development (R&D) spending by 13.2
percent to $93.2 million from $82.3 million one year ago. Investment
in R&D has increased at an average annual rate of approximately 9.0 percent
since fiscal 2006. The Company’s R&D efforts have been focused on
new products and technologies to respond to market trends due to environmental
legislation as well as to enhance energy efficiency and fuel
economy. These key market drivers are shaping and influencing our
customers’ future thermal management needs. Legislation on NOx and
particulate emissions for diesel engines continues to provide market
opportunities for Modine through products such as EGR’s. Many new
heat exchanger and cooling module platforms have been developed in order to help
our customers comply with this legislation. Likewise, concern over
global warming is continuing to cause the industry to consider replacing current
refrigerants such as R-134a with new, environmentally friendly refrigerants such
as CO2. A
newly formed vehicular HVAC group has grown out of the R&D
area. Knowledge developed from R&D activities will be used to
develop improved HVAC product platforms, including products to comply with
potential anti-idling legislation for heavy duty vehicles. Energy
efficiency legislation is also driving opportunities for high performance,
lightweight heat exchangers in commercial markets. Modine continues
to refine the product development process for all of its markets, including the
use of virtual simulation to increase efficiency and reduce time to market with
new designs.
Modine
has been granted 2,355 worldwide patents over the life of the
Company. Modine is focused on the long-term commercialization of our
intellectual property and research, and believes that these investments will
result in new and next generation products and technologies.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments
and estimates used in preparing the financial statements. Application
of these policies results in accounting estimates that have the greatest
potential for a significant impact on Modine's financial
statements. The following discussion of these judgments and estimates
is intended to supplement the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
presented in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue, including agreed upon commodity price increases, as
products are shipped to customers and the risks and rewards of ownership are
transferred to our customers. The revenue is recorded net of
applicable provisions for sales rebates, volume incentives, and returns and
allowances. At the time of revenue recognition, the Company also
provides an estimate of potential bad debts and warranty expense. The
Company bases these estimates on historical experience, current business trends
and current economic conditions. The Company recognizes revenue from
various licensing agreements when earned except in those cases where collection
is uncertain, or the amount cannot reasonably be estimated until formal
accounting reports are received from the licensee.
Contractual
commodity price increases may also be included in revenue. Price
increases agreed-upon in advance are recognized as revenue when the products are
shipped to our customers. In certain situations, the price increases
are recognized as revenue at the time products are shipped in accordance with
the contractual arrangements with our customers, but are offset by appropriate
provisions for estimated commodity price increases which may ultimately not be
collected. These provisions are established based on historical
experience, current business trends and current economic
conditions. There was no provision for estimated commodity price
increases at March 31, 2008. At March 31, 2007, we had established
$0.4 million of provisions for estimated commodity price increases which may
ultimately not be collected as the likelihood of collection was
uncertain.
Impairment
of Long-Lived and Amortized Intangible Assets
The
Company performs impairment evaluations of its long-lived assets, including
property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, whenever
business conditions or events indicate that those assets may be
impaired. When the estimated future undiscounted cash flows to be
generated by the assets are less than the carrying value of the long-lived
assets, the assets are written down to fair market value and a charge is
recorded to current operations.
Impairment
of Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Impairment
tests are conducted at least annually unless business events or other factors
indicate a need to perform the testing more often. The Company
conducts its annual review of goodwill and other intangible assets with
indefinite lives for impairment in the third quarter. The
recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives was
determined by estimating the future discounted cash flows of the reporting unit
to which the goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives
relates. The rate used in determining discounted cash flows is a rate
corresponding to our cost of capital, adjusted for risk where
appropriate. In determining the estimated future cash flows, current
and future levels of income are considered as well as business trends and market
conditions. To the extent that book value exceeds the fair value, an
impairment is recognized.
Warranty
Estimated
costs related to product warranties are accrued at the time of the sale and
recorded in cost of sales. Estimated costs are based on the best
information available, which includes using statistical and analytical analysis
of both historical and current claim data. Original estimates,
accrued at the time of sale, are adjusted when it becomes probable that expected
claims will differ materially from these initial estimates.
Tooling Costs
Pre-production
tooling costs incurred by the Company in manufacturing products under various
customer programs are capitalized as a component of property, plant and
equipment, net of any customer reimbursements, when the Company retains title to
the tooling. These costs are amortized over the program life or three
years, whichever is shorter, and recorded in cost of sales in the consolidated
statements of operations. For customer-owned tooling costs incurred
by the Company, a receivable is recorded when the customer has guaranteed
reimbursement to the Company. The reimbursement period may vary by
program and customer. No significant arrangements existed during the
years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 where customer-owned tooling costs were not
accompanied by guaranteed reimbursements.
Pensions
and Postretirement Benefits Plans
The
calculation of the expense and liabilities of Modine's pension and
postretirement plans are dependent upon various assumptions. The most
significant assumptions include the discount rate, rate of compensation
increase, long-term expected return on plan assets, and future trends in health
care costs. The selection of assumptions is based on historical
trends and known economic and market conditions at the time of valuation. In
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, actual results that
differ from these assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future
periods. These differences may impact future pension or
postretirement benefit expenses and liabilities. The Company replaced the
existing defined benefit pension plan with a defined contribution plan for
salaried-paid employees hired on or after January 1, 2004. The Modine
Salaried Employee Pension Plan was modified so that no service performed after
March 31, 2006 will be counted when calculating an employee’s years of credited
service under the pension plan formula. During fiscal 2008, the plan
was modified so that no increases in annual earnings after December 31, 2007
will be included in calculating the average annual portion under the pension
plan formula. At the current pension assumption rates, we would
expect pension expense to decline steadily going forward. We believe
the defined contribution plan will, in general, allow the Company a greater
degree of flexibility in managing retirement benefit costs on a long-term
basis.
For the
following discussion regarding sensitivity of assumptions, all amounts presented
are in reference to the domestic pension plans since the domestic plans comprise
100 percent of the Company’s total benefit plan assets and the large majority of
the Company’s pension plan expense.
To
determine the expected rate of return, Modine considers such factors as (a) the
actual return earned on plan assets, (b) historical rates of returns on the
various asset classes in the plan portfolio, (c) projections of returns on those
asset classes, (d) the amount of active management of the assets, (e) capital
market conditions and economic forecasts, and (f) administrative expenses
covered by the plan assets. The long-term rate of return utilized in
fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 was 8.25 percent and 8.50 percent,
respectively. For fiscal 2009, the Company has assumed a rate of 8.25
percent. The impact of a 25 basis point decrease in the expected rate
of return on assets would result in a $0.5 million increase in fiscal 2009
pension expense.
The
discount rate reflects rates available on long-term, high quality fixed-income
corporate bonds, reset annually on the measurement date of March
31. For fiscal 2009, the Company will use a discount rate of 6.62
percent, reflecting an increase from 5.92 percent in fiscal
2008. The Company based this decision on a yield curve that was
created following an analysis of the projected cash flows from the affected
plans. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for additional information. Changing Modine’s discount rate by 25
basis points would impact the fiscal 2009 domestic pension expense by
approximately $0.7 million.
A key
determinant in the amount of the postretirement benefit obligation and expense
is the health care cost trend rate. The health care trend rate for
fiscal year 2008 was 9 percent, and the Company expects this to remain at 9
percent for fiscal 2009. This rate is projected to decline gradually
to 5 percent in fiscal year 2014 and remain at that level
thereafter. An annual "cap" that was established for most retiree
health care and life insurance plans between fiscal 1994 and 1996 limits
Modine’s liability. Furthermore, beginning in February 2002, the
Company discontinued providing postretirement benefits for salaried and
non-union employees hired on or after that date. A one percent
increase in the health care trend rate would result in an increase in
postretirement expense of approximately $72,000 and an increase in
postretirement benefit obligations of approximately $1.1 million. A
25 basis point decrease in the postretirement discount rate would result in an
increase in benefit expense of approximately $60,000.
Other
Loss Reserves
The
Company has a number of other loss exposures, such as environmental and product
liability claims, litigation, self-insurance reserves, recoverability of
deferred income tax benefits, and accounts receivable loss reserves.
Establishing loss reserves for these matters requires the use of estimates and
judgment to determine the risk exposure and ultimate potential liability. The
Company estimates these reserve requirements by using consistent and suitable
methodologies for the particular type of loss reserve being
calculated. See Note 26 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional details of certain contingencies and
litigation.
Accounting
Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles
and establishes a hierarchy that categorizes and prioritizes the sources to be
used to estimate fair value. SFAS No. 157 also expands financial
statement disclosures about fair value measurements. On February 12,
2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 157-2 which delays the effective
date of SFAS No. 157 for one year, for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the
financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The
Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 157 and FSP 157-2 in the first quarter of
fiscal 2009, and is currently assessing the impact of adopting this
pronouncement.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an Amendment of SFAS No.
115” (SFAS No. 159), which permits an entity to measure many financial assets
and financial liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be
measured at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option
will report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting
date. The fair value option may be elected on an
instrument-by-instrument basis, with a few exceptions. SFAS No. 159
amends previous guidance to extend the use of the fair value option to
available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities. The Statement
also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to help financial
statement users understand the effect of the election. SFAS No. 159
is effective as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal
2009. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of this
standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations” (SFAS No. 141(R)) which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business
Combination”. SFAS No. 141(R) retained the underlying concepts of
SFAS No. 141 in that all business combinations are still required to be
accounted for at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting, but SFAS
No. 141(R) changed the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of
significant aspects. For all business combinations, the entity that
acquires the business will record 100 percent of all assets and liabilities of
the acquired business, including goodwill, generally at their fair
values. Certain contingent assets and liabilities acquired will be
recognized at their fair values on the acquisition date and changes in fair
value of certain arrangements will be recognized in earnings until
settled. Acquisition-related transactions and restructuring costs
will be expensed rather than treated as an acquisition cost and included in the
amount recorded for assets acquired. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for
the Company on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after April 1, 2009, with the exception of the
accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax
contingencies. SFAS No. 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for
Income Taxes,” such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred
taxes and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that close
prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 141(R) would also apply the provisions
of SFAS No. 141(R). Early adoption is not
allowed. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of
this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements; however, the
Company does not anticipate the adoption to have a material impact on previous
acquisitions.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51.” SFAS No.
160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial
Statements,” to establish new standards that will govern the accounting for and
reporting of (1) non-controlling interest in partially owned consolidated
subsidiaries and (2) the loss of control of subsidiaries. The
Company’s consolidated subsidiaries are wholly-owned and as such no minority
interests are currently reported in the consolidated financial
statements. Other current ownership interests are reported under the
equity method of accounting under investments in affiliates. SFAS No.
160 is effective for the Company on a prospective basis on or after April 1,
2009 except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will be
applied retrospectively. Early adoption is not
allowed. Based upon the Company’s current portfolio of
investments in affiliates, the Company does not anticipate that adoption of this
standard will have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No.
161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging
activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial
reporting. SFAS No. 161 is effective for the Company during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Early adoption is
encouraged. SFAS No. 161 encourages, but does not require,
comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on the
Company’s financial statement disclosures.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE
DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
In the
normal course of business, Modine is subject to market exposure from changes in
foreign exchange rates, interest rates, credit risk, economic risk and commodity
price risk.
Foreign Currency
Risk
Modine is
subject to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to its
operations in foreign countries. Modine has manufacturing facilities in Brazil,
China, Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, India and throughout
Europe. It also has equity investments in companies located in
France, Japan, and China. Modine sells and distributes its products
throughout the world. As a result, the Company's financial results
could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency
exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets in which the
Company manufactures, distributes and sells its products. The
Company's operating results are principally exposed to changes in exchange rates
between the dollar and the European currencies, primarily the euro, changes
between the dollar and the South Korean won and changes between the dollar and
the Brazilian real. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates for
the Company's foreign subsidiaries reporting in local currencies are generally
reported as a component of shareholders' equity. The Company's
favorable currency translation adjustments recorded in fiscal 2008 and fiscal
2007 were $48.0 million and $24.3 million, respectively. As of March
31, 2008 and 2007, the Company's foreign subsidiaries had net current assets
(defined as current assets less current liabilities) subject to foreign currency
translation risk of $149.2 million and $74.7 million,
respectively. The potential decrease in the net current assets from a
hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates
would be approximately $14.9 million. This sensitivity analysis
presented assumes a parallel shift in foreign currency exchange
rates. Exchange rates rarely move in the same direction relative to
the dollar. This assumption may overstate the impact of changing
exchange rates on individual assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign
currency.
The
Company has certain foreign-denominated, long-term debt obligations that are
sensitive to foreign currency exchange rates. The following table
presents the future principal cash flows and weighted average interest rates by
expected maturity dates. The fair value of long-term debt is
estimated by discounting the future cash flows at rates offered to the Company
for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. The carrying
value of the debt approximates fair value. As of March 31, 2008 the
foreign-denominated, long-term debt matures as follows:

In
addition to the external borrowing, the Company has from time to time had
foreign-denominated, long-term inter-company loans that are sensitive to foreign
exchange rates. At March 31, 2008, the Company has a 24.1 billion
won, ($24.3 million U.S. equivalent), 8-year loan to its wholly owned
subsidiary, Modine Korea, LLC, that matures on August 31, 2012. On
April 6, 2005, the Company entered into a zero cost collar to hedge the foreign
exchange exposure on the entire outstanding amount of this loan. This
collar was settled on August 29, 2006 for a loss of $1.1 million. On
August 29, 2006, the Company entered into a new zero cost collar to hedge the
foreign exchange exposure on the entire outstanding amount of the Modine Korea,
LLC loan. This collar was settled on February 29, 2008 at no
cost. On February 29, 2008, the Company entered into a new zero cost
collar that expired on March 31, 2008 to hedge the foreign exchange exposure on
the entire outstanding amount of the Modine Korea, LLC loan. This
collar was settled on March 28, 2008 for a gain of $0.6 million. On
March 28, 2008, the Company entered into a purchased option contract that
expires March 31, 2009 to hedge the foreign exchange exposure on the entire
outstanding amount of the Modine Korea, LLC loan. The derivative
instruments are not treated as hedges, and accordingly, transaction gains or
losses on the derivatives are being recorded in other income – net in the
consolidated statement of operations and acts to offset any currency movement on
the outstanding loan receivable. During fiscal 2008, Modine Korea,
LLC paid 4.8 billion won ($5.1 million U.S. equivalent) on this inter-company
loan and the Company correspondingly adjusted the zero cost collar to reflect
the payment.
At March
31, 2008, the Company also had two inter-company loans totaling $20.0
million to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Brazil with various maturity
dates through May 2011. On June 21, 2007, the Company
entered into a zero cost collar that expired on March 31, 2008 to hedge the
foreign exchange exposure on the principal amount of the loans. This
collar was settled on March 31, 2008 for a loss of 3.9 million reais ($2.3
million U.S. equivalent). On March 31, 2008, the Company entered
into a purchased option contract that expires on April 1, 2009 to hedge the
foreign exchange exposure on the larger ($15.0 million) of the two inter-company
loans. The smaller inter-company loan ($5.0 million) will be repaid
by February 2009 and its foreign exchange exposure will be managed by natural
hedges and offsets that exist in the Company’s operations. The
derivative instruments are not treated as hedges, and accordingly, transaction
gains or losses on the derivatives are being recorded in other income – net in
the consolidated statement of operations and acts to offset any currency
movement on the outstanding loan receivable.
The
Company also has other inter-company loans outstanding at March 31, 2008 as
follows:
|
·
|
$0.9
million loan to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal Systems India,
that matures on April 30, 2013;
|
|
·
|
$6.0
million loan to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal Systems Co
(Changzhou, China), that matures on February 1, 2009;
and
|
|
·
|
$1.1
million loan to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal Systems
Shanghai, that matures on January 19,
2009.
|
These
inter-company loans are sensitive to movement in foreign exchange rates, and the
Company does not have any derivative instruments which hedges this
exposure.
Interest
Rate Risk
Modine's
interest rate risk policies are designed to reduce the potential volatility of
earnings that could arise from changes in interest rates. The Company
generally utilizes a mixture of debt maturities together with both fixed-rate
and floating-rate debt to manage its exposure to interest rate variations
related to its borrowings. The Company has, from time-to-time,
entered into interest rate derivates to manage variability in interest
rates. These interest rate derivatives have been treated as cash flow
hedges of forecasted transactions and, accordingly, derivative gains or losses
are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
and are amortized to interest expense over the respective lives of the
borrowings. During the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, $0.3
million and $0.1 million of expense, respectively, was recorded in the
consolidated statement of operations related to the amortization of interest
rate derivative losses. At March 31, 2008, $1.8 million of net
unrealized losses remain deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss). The following table presents the future principal cash flows
and weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates (including the
foreign denominated long-term obligations included in the previous
table). The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated by
discounting the future cash flows at rates offered to the Company for similar
debt instruments of comparable maturities. The book value of the debt
approximates fair value, with the exception of the $150.0 million fixed rate
notes, which have a fair value of approximately $159.2 million at March 31,
2008.
As of
March 31, 2008, long-term debt matures as follows:

Credit
Risk
Credit
risk is the possibility of loss from a customer's failure to make payment
according to contract terms. The Company's principal credit risk
consists of outstanding trade receivables. Prior to granting credit,
each customer is evaluated, taking into consideration the borrower's financial
condition, past payment experience and credit information. After
credit is granted the Company actively monitors the customer's financial
condition and developing business news. Approximately 51 percent of
the trade receivables balance at March 31, 2008 was concentrated in the
Company's top ten customers. Modine's history of incurring credit
losses from customers has not been material, and the Company does not expect
that trend to change.
Economic Risk
Economic
risk is the possibility of loss resulting from economic instability in certain
areas of the world or significant downturns in markets that the Company
supplies. A sustained economic downturn in any of these markets could
have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations and
potentially result in the impairment of related assets.
With
respect to international instability, the Company continues to monitor economic
conditions in the U.S. and elsewhere. During fiscal 2008 there was
continued weakening of the U.S. dollar. The euro and Brazilian real
strengthened against the dollar by 15 percent and 25 percent,
respectively. The won remained essentially unchanged in fiscal 2008,
but strengthened by 3 percent in fiscal 2007. The Chinese renminbi
strengthened almost 9 percent against the U.S. dollar in fiscal 2008 and almost
4 percent in fiscal 2007. As Modine expands its global presence, we
also encounter risks imposed by potential trade restrictions, including tariffs,
embargoes and the like. We continue to pursue non-speculative
opportunities to mitigate these economic risks, and capitalize, when possible,
on changing market conditions.
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 exhaust
gas recirculation, CO2 and fuel
cell technology. Modine's investment in these areas is subject to the
risks associated with business integration, technological success, customers'
and market acceptance, and Modine's ability to meet the demands of its customers
as these markets emerge.
The
upturn in the economy and continued economic growth in China are putting
production pressure on certain of the Company's suppliers of raw
materials. In particular, there are a limited number of suppliers of
copper, steel and aluminum fin stock serving a more robust market. As a result,
some suppliers are allocating product among customers, extending lead times or
holding supply to the prior year's level. The Company is exposed to
the risk of supply of certain raw materials not being able to meet customer
demand and of increased prices being charged by raw material suppliers.
Historically high commodity pricing, which includes aluminum, copper, nickel and
steel is making it increasingly difficult to pass along the full amount of these
increases to our customers.
In
addition to the purchase of raw materials, the Company purchases parts from
suppliers that use the Company's tooling to create the part. In most
instances, the Company does not have duplicate tooling for the manufacture of
its purchased parts. As a result, the Company is exposed to the risk
of a supplier of such parts being unable to provide the quantity or quality of
parts that the Company requires. Even in situations where suppliers
are manufacturing parts without the use of Company tooling, the Company faces
the challenge of obtaining high-quality parts from suppliers.
In
addition to the above risks on the supply side, the Company is also exposed to
risks associated with demands by its customers for decreases in the price of the
Company's products. The Company offsets this risk with firm
agreements with its customers whenever possible but these agreements generally
carry annual price down provisions as well.
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, or a
reduction in the Company's participation in any one or more
markets. However, the risks associated with any market downturn or
reduction are still present.
Commodity Price
Risk
The
Company is dependent upon the supply of certain raw materials and supplies in
the production process and has, from time to time, entered into firm purchase
commitments for copper, aluminum, nickel, and natural gas. The
Company utilizes an aluminum hedging strategy by entering into fixed price
contracts to help offset changing commodity prices. The Company utilizes collars
for certain forecasted copper purchases, and also enters into forward contracts
for certain forecasted nickel purchases. The Company does maintain
agreements with certain customers to pass through certain material price
fluctuations in order to mitigate the commodity price risk. The
majority of these agreements contain provisions in which the pass through of the
price fluctuations can lag behind the actual fluctuations by a quarter or
longer.
Hedging
and Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The
Company uses derivative financial instruments in a limited way as a tool to
manage certain financial risks. Their use is restricted primarily to
hedging assets and obligations already held by Modine, and they are used to
protect cash flows rather than generate income or engage in speculative
activity. Leveraged derivatives are prohibited by Company
policy.
Commodity
Derivatives: During fiscal 2008, the Company entered into
futures contracts related to certain of the Company’s forecasted purchases of
aluminum and natural gas. The Company’s strategy in entering into
these contracts is to reduce its exposure to changing purchase prices for future
purchase 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 income, and recognized as a component of earnings at the same time
that the underlying purchases of aluminum and natural gas impact
earnings. During the year ended March 31, 2008, $2.0 million of
expense was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations related to the
settlement of certain futures contracts. At March 31, 2008, $1.4
million of unrealized gains remain deferred in accumulated other comprehensive
income, and will be realized as a component of cost of sales over the next nine
months.
During
fiscal 2008, the Company entered into futures contracts related to certain of
the Company’s forecasted purchases of copper and nickel. The
Company’s strategy in entering into these contracts is to reduce its exposure to
changing purchase prices for future purchases of these
commodities. The Company has not designated these contracts as
hedges, therefore gains and losses on these contracts are recorded directly in
the consolidated statements of operations. At March 31, 2008, $0.2
million of income, was recorded in cost of sales related to these futures
contracts.
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. Modine periodically enters into foreign currency
exchange contracts to hedge specific foreign currency denominated
transactions. Generally, these contracts have terms of 90 or fewer
days. The effect of this practice is to minimize the impact of
foreign exchange rate movements on Modine’s earnings. 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 offset gains
and losses on the assets and liabilities being hedged.
As of
March 31, 2008, the Company had no outstanding forward foreign exchange
contracts, with the exception of the purchased option contracts to hedge the
foreign exchange exposure on the entire amount of the Modine Korea, LLC loan and
the $15.0 million intercompany loan with Modine Brazil, which are discussed
under the section entitled “Foreign Currency Risk”. Non-U.S. dollar
financing transactions through intercompany loans or local borrowings in the
corresponding currency generally are effective as hedges of long-term
investments.
The
Company has a number of investments in wholly owned foreign subsidiaries and
non-consolidated foreign joint ventures. The net assets of these subsidiaries
are exposed to currency exchange rate volatility. From time to time,
the Company uses non-derivative financial instruments to hedge, or offset, this
exposure.
Interest rate derivatives: As
further noted above under the section entitled “Interest Rate Risk”, the Company
has, from time to time, entered into interest rate derivates to manage the
variability in interest rates. These interest rate derivatives have
been treated as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions and, accordingly,
derivative gains or losses are reflected as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) and are amortized to interest expense over the
respective lives of the borrowings.

MODINE
MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In
thousands, except per share amounts)
Note
1: Overview
Nature of operations: Modine
Manufacturing Company (Modine or the Company) specializes in thermal management
systems and components, bringing heating and cooling technology and solutions to
diversified global markets. The Company is a leading global developer,
manufacturer and marketer of heat exchangers and systems for use in on-highway
and off-highway original equipment manufacturer (OEM) vehicular applications,
and to a wide array of building, industrial, refrigeration and fuel cell
markets. Product lines include radiators and radiator cores, vehicular air
conditioning, oil coolers, charge air coolers, heat-transfer packages and
modules, building heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment and
exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) coolers.
Basis of presentation: The
consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States. These principles require
management to make certain estimates and assumptions in determining Modine’s
assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. Actual amounts
could differ from those estimates.
Significant charges contributing to
loss from continuing operations: For the year ended March 31, 2008, the
Company reported a loss from continuing operations of $65,511 which represents a
significant reduction from the earnings from continuing operations of $38,921
and $73,025 reported for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
During fiscal 2008, the Company recorded asset impairment charges of $47,420 and
a deferred tax valuation allowance of $64,571. These charges were the primary
factors contributing to the loss from continuing operations for the year ended
March 31, 2008.
A
significant portion of these charges related to the Company’s Original Equipment
– North America segment, which has reported a significant decline in its current
fiscal year results as compared to the prior year. Original Equipment – North
America’s net sales decreased $146,778, or 22.0 percent from the year ended
March 31, 2007 to the year ended March 31, 2008. In addition, Original Equipment
– North America reported a loss from operations of $44,817 for the year ended
March 31, 2008 as compared to earnings from operations of $44,708 for the year
ended March 31, 2007. The decline in net sales was primarily driven by an
ongoing downturn in the North American truck market as a result of pre-buy
activity in advance of the January 1, 2007 emission requirement changes in North
America and a slowdown in the North American economy. This decline in net sales
has been more severe and is extending for a longer period of time than
originally anticipated by the Company. This significant decline in sales volumes
has contributed to a declining gross profit and an underabsorption of fixed
overhead costs as excess capacity exists in many of the Original Equipment –
North America facilities during fiscal 2008. Manufacturing inefficiencies
incurred during fiscal 2008 in the Original Equipment – North America production
facilities also contributed to the declining performance within this business.
These inefficiencies were primarily related to new program launches and product
line transfers in conjunction with our previously announced global
competitiveness program.
In
addition to the current fiscal year reduction in performance in the Original
Equipment – North America segment, the Company reduced its outlook for this
business during fiscal 2008. The future growth prospects within this business
were reduced based on, among other factors, trends experienced with the January
1, 2007 emissions law change and a shift by customers in future vehicular
programs to countries outside of North America. The reduced outlook also
included a reduction in expected future gross margins based on the near-term
impact of plant inefficiencies related to new program launches and product
transfers. The reduced outlook for future gross margins was also based on
continued industry-wide cost and customer pricing pressures.
As a
result of the decrease in the fiscal 2008 net sales and profitability in the
Original Equipment – North America segment, combined with the reduced future
outlook for this business, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge
of $23,769 during fiscal 2008. This represented an impairment of the full amount
of goodwill recorded within the Original Equipment – North America segment. In
addition, the Company performed an impairment review of the Original Equipment –
North America long-lived assets during fiscal 2008, which resulted in an
impairment charge of $3,407 for a program which was not able to support its
asset base.
Also
during fiscal 2008, the South Korean business, which is included in the Original
Equipment – Asia segment, continued to underperform expectations and financial
targets due largely to ongoing customer pricing pressures. These pricing
pressures require a low-cost manufacturing profile and continued operating
efficiencies in order to maintain a profitable business environment. The Company
has historically been unable to offset customer price reductions with additional
operating improvements. As a result of the continued underperformance and
reduced future outlook for the South Korean business, the Company recognized a
long-lived asset impairment of $12,077 related to assets at the Asan City, South
Korea manufacturing facility.
MODINE
MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In
thousands, except per share amounts)
The
current year losses generated within the Original Equipment – North America and
Original Equipment – Asia segment and the reduced future outlook for these
businesses significantly contributed to a projection of future losses in the
United States and South Korea. Based on this projection, the Company made a
determination during fiscal 2008 that it was more likely than not that the U.S.
and South Korean deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, a
valuation allowance of $58,024 and $6,655 was recorded against the net U.S. and
Korean deferred tax assets, respectively, for the year ended March 31,
2008.
In
response to these conditions, the Company is implementing a number of cost and
operational efficiency measures that will be designed to improve the Company’s
longer term competitiveness. The following actions have been
identified:
|
·
|
Manufacturing
realignment – The Company announced the closure of the Camdenton,
Missouri; Pemberville, Ohio; and Logansport, Indiana facility within the
Original Equipment – North America segment and the Tübingen, Germany
manufacturing plant within the Original Equipment – Europe segment. These
closures are in addition to the previously announced four plant closures
in North America, of which the Jackson, Mississippi and Clinton, Tennessee
facility closures are still in
process.
|
|
·
|
Portfolio
rationalization – The Company has a new organizational structure which has
been in place for a little over a year. The new structure is organized
around global product lines and a regional operating model. The Company is
looking at product lines within and across the regions to assess them
relative to Modine’s competitive position and the overall business
attractiveness in order to identify those lower margin product lines which
should be divested or exited. Through these rationalization
efforts, the Company completed the sale of its Electronics Cooling
business on May 1, 2008.
|
|
·
|
Capital
allocation – The Company introduced an enhanced capital allocation process
which is designed to allocate capital spending to the segments and
programs that will provide the highest return on investment. The Company
anticipates capital spending, net of potential dispositions, in the
intermediate term to be near deprecation
levels.
|
|
·
|
Selling,
general and administrative (SG&A) cost containment – The Company has a
target of driving SG&A levels down as a percent of sales by
fiscal 2011. Progress was made toward this goal during fiscal 2008, with
SG&A as a percentage of sales declining from 13.4 percent in the prior
year to 12.7 percent in the current
year.
|
Collectively,
management anticipates the actions described will provide increased discipline
around gross margins, working capital levels and asset utilization.
Liquidity: For the year ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company reported net cash provided by operating
activities of $67,354 and $102,410, respectively, which represents a decrease of
$35,056. The fiscal 2008 decline in Original Equipment – North America’s results
was a significant factor contributing to this decrease in net cash provided by
operating activities. In addition, the Company’s outstanding debt increased from
$179,349 at March 31, 2007 to $226,501 at March 31, 2008. The reduced cash flows
from operating activities were not sufficient to fully finance capital
expenditures and working capital needs of the business during fiscal 2008,
therefore requiring additional borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit
facility during the current year.
The
Company’s debt agreements require it to comply with certain limitations and to
maintain specified financial ratios. The Company would have been in violation of
a financial ratio as of December 26, 2007, had the agreements not been amended,
due to the goodwill impairment charge recorded during the third quarter of
fiscal 2008. On February, 1, 2008, the Company amended these debt agreements to
allow the add-back of the asset impairment charges. At December 26, 2007 and
March 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with the amended agreements. In
addition, certain amendments were made to the covenants on a prospective basis
to allow the add-back of certain anticipated cash and non-cash charges and to
reduce the ratio of earnings before interest and taxes to interest expense
(interest coverage ratio). The Company anticipates remaining in compliance
on a prospective basis with the limitations and financial ratios based on its
current business projections. In addition, the Company believes that its
internally generated operating cash flow and existing cash balances, together
with access to available external borrowings, will be sufficient to satisfy
future operating, capital expenditure and strategic business opportunity costs.
If the Company is unable to meet the financial covenants and reach suitable
resolution of such defaults with the lenders, it could have a material adverse
effect on the future results of operations, financial position and liquidity of
the Company. See Note 18 for further discussion.

Note
2: Significant accounting policies
Discontinued operations and assets
held for sale: The Company considers businesses to be held for sale when
management approves and commits to a formal plan to actively market a business
for sale. Upon designation as held for sale, the carrying value of the assets of
the business are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or their
estimated fair value, less costs to sell. The Company ceases to record
depreciation expense at the time of designation as held for sale. Results of
operations of a business classified as held for sale are reported as
discontinued operations when (a) the operations and cash flows of the business
will be eliminated from ongoing operations as a result of the sale and (b) the
Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations
of the business after the sale. The Company currently classifies the Electronics
Cooling business as held for sale and as a discontinued operation.
On July
22, 2005, the Company spun off its Aftermarket business on a tax-free basis and
merged it with Transpro, Inc. (“Transpro”). As a result of this spin-off, the
consolidated financial statements and related notes have been restated to
present the results of the Aftermarket business as a discontinued operation.
Accordingly, the operating results of the Aftermarket business have been
included in earnings (loss) from discontinued operations, (net of income taxes)
in the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented. In
addition, the loss on the spin-off of $53,462 was included in the consolidated
statement of operations in fiscal 2006. See Note 14 for further
discussion.
Consolidation principles: The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Modine Manufacturing
Company and its majority-owned or Modine-controlled subsidiaries. Material
intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Operations of subsidiaries outside the United States are predominately included
for periods ending one month prior to Modine’s year end in order to ensure
timely preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Investments in
non-consolidated affiliated companies in which ownership is 20 percent or more
are accounted for by the equity method. The investments are stated at cost plus
or minus a proportionate share of the undistributed net income (loss). Modine’s
share of the affiliates’ net income (loss) is reflected in other income – net.
See Note 12 for further discussion.
Revenue recognition: Sales
revenue, including agreed upon commodity price increases, is recognized at the
time of product shipment to customers when title and risk of loss pass to
customers, selling prices are fixed or determinable and collectibility from the
customer is reasonably assured. Appropriate provisions are made for
uncollectible accounts based on historical data or specific customer economic
data, and for estimated commodity price increases which may ultimately not be
collected.
Sales discounts: Sales
discounts, which are allowed for prompt payment of invoices by customers, are
recorded as a reduction to net sales.
Tooling costs: Modine
accounts for pre-production tooling costs as a component of property, plant and
equipment – net when the Company owns title to the tooling, and amortizes the
capitalized cost to cost of sales over the life of the related program. At March
31, 2008 and 2007, the Company-owned tooling totaled $25,756 and $22,572,
respectively. In certain instances, the Company makes an upfront payment for
customer-owned tooling costs, and subsequently receives a reimbursement from the
customer for the upfront payment. The Company accounts for unbilled
customer-owned tooling costs as a receivable when the customer has guaranteed
reimbursement to the Company. No significant arrangements exist where
customer-owned tooling costs were not accompanied by guaranteed reimbursement.
At March 31, 2008 and 2007, the cost reimbursement receivable related to
customer-owned tooling totaled $8,484 and $9,101, respectively.
Warranty: Modine provides
product warranties for specific product lines and accrues for estimated future
warranty costs in the period in which the sale is recorded. Warranty expense is
generally provided based upon historical and current claim data. Accrual
balances are monitored and adjusted when it becomes probable that expected
claims will differ from existing estimates. Accruals are recorded as current
liabilities under the caption accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
See Note 21 for further discussion.
Shipping and handling costs:
Shipping costs for inbound freight are treated as product cost. Shipping
and handling costs incurred upon the shipment of products to our OEM customers
are recorded as a component of cost of sales, and related amounts billed to
these customers are recorded as a component of net sales. Shipping and handling
costs incurred upon the shipment of products to our HVAC customers are recorded
as a component of selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. For
the years ended March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, these shipping and handling costs
recorded as a component of SG&A expenses were $3,653, $3,100 and $3,094,
respectively.
MODINE
MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In
thousands, except per share amounts)
Revenue recognition under licensing
arrangements (royalty payments): Revenues under various licensing
agreements are recognized when earned except in those cases where collection is
uncertain, or the amount cannot reasonably be estimated until formal accounting
reports are received from the licensee as provided for under the provisions of
the licensing agreement. For the years ended March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006,
licensing revenue totaled $4,785, $5,166 and $4,132, respectively, and are
recorded in the statement of operations under the caption net
sales.
Translation of foreign
currencies: Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries and equity
investments are translated into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates,
and income and expense items are translated at the monthly average exchange rate
for the period in which the items occur. Resulting translation adjustments are
reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income included in
shareholders' equity. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included
in the statement of operations under the caption other income –
net.
Derivative instruments: The
Company enters into derivative financial instruments from time to time to manage
certain financial risks. Futures contracts are entered into by the Company to
reduce exposure to changing future purchase prices for aluminum and natural gas.
Foreign exchange options and forward contracts on foreign currencies are entered
into by Modine as hedges against the impact of currency fluctuations on certain
sales and purchase transactions. Interest rate locks and swaps are entered into
to lock in fixed interest rates for variable-rate borrowings. These instruments
are used to protect cash flows and are not speculative. The Company generally
designates its derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. Accordingly,
unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are deferred as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized as a component of earnings
at the same time that the underlying transactions impact earnings. Starting in
fiscal 2008, the Company entered into future contracts related to certain of its
forecasted purchases of copper and nickel. The Company has not designated these
contracts as hedges, therefore gains and losses are recorded as a component of
earnings when incurred. See Note 20 for further discussion.
Income taxes: Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the
amounts reported in the financial statements and tax bases of assets and
liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the
differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established if it
is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will
not be realized. A valuation allowance of $64,679 was recorded during fiscal
2008 against net U.S. and South Korean deferred tax assets. See Note 7 for
further discussion.
Earnings per share: Basic
earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the year, while diluted earnings per share is
calculated based on the dilutive effect of common shares that could be issued.
During fiscal 2008, the calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes all
potentially dilutive shares in which their inclusion would have the effect of
decreasing the loss per share amount. See Note 8 for further
discussion.
Cash equivalents: Modine
considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months
or less to be cash equivalents.
Deferred compensation trust:
The Company maintains a deferred compensation trust to fund future
obligations under its non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The trust’s
investments in third-party debt and equity securities are reflected as
short-term investments in the consolidated balance sheet and are treated as
trading securities with changes in fair value reflected as a component of
earnings. The trust’s investment in Modine stock is reflected as a reduction of
shareholder’s equity in the consolidated balance sheet at its original stock
cost. A deferred compensation obligation is recorded within the liabilities at
the fair value of the investments held by the deferred compensation trust. Any
differences between the recorded value of the short- term investments and Modine
stock and the fair value of the deferred compensation obligation are reflected
as adjustments to earnings.
Trade receivables and allowance for
doubtful accounts: Trade receivables are recorded at the invoiced amount
and do not bear interest if paid according to the original terms. The allowance
for doubtful accounts is Modine’s best estimate of the uncollectible amount
contained in the existing trade receivables balance. The allowance is based on
historical write-off experience and specific customer economic data. The
allowance for doubtful accounts is reviewed periodically and adjusted as
necessary. Utilizing age and size based criteria, certain individual accounts
are reviewed for collectibility, while all other accounts are reviewed on a
pooled basis. Receivables are charged off against the allowance when it is
probable and to the extent that funds will not be collected. There was no
off-balance sheet credit exposure related to Modine’s trade receivables at March
31, 2008.

Inventories: Inventories are
valued at the lower of cost on a first-in, first-out basis, or market
value.
Property, plant and
equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. For
financial reporting purposes, depreciation is principally computed using the
straight-line method over the expected useful life of the asset. Maintenance and
repair costs are charged to operations as incurred. Costs of improvements are
capitalized. Upon the sale or other disposition of an asset, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the gain or
loss is included in the statement of operations. The Company capitalizes direct
costs of materials and services used in the development and purchase of
internal-use software. Amounts capitalized are amortized on a straight-line
basis over a period of three to six years and are reported as a component of
office equipment within property, plant and equipment.
Goodwill and intangible assets:
The Company accounts for purchased goodwill and intangible assets in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142,
“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. Under SFAS No. 142, purchased goodwill
and other intangible assets with indefinite lives, primarily tradenames, are not
amortized; rather they are tested for impairment annually unless conditions
exist which would require a more frequent evaluation. An assessment of the fair
value of the Company’s reporting units for its goodwill valuation, and its other
intangible assets with indefinite lives is required and is based upon, among
other things, the present value of the expected future cash flows. An impairment
loss is recognized when the book value of goodwill exceeds the fair value. A
goodwill impairment charge of $23,769 was recorded during fiscal 2008. See Note
16 for further discussion.
Impairment of long-lived
assets: Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment and written
down to fair value when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value
of long-lived assets may not be recoverable through estimated future
undiscounted cash flows. If impairment has occurred, a write-down to estimated
fair value is made and the impairment loss is recognized as a charge against
current operations. Fair
value is estimated using a variety of valuation techniques including discounted
cash flows, market values and comparison to values for similar assets.
Long-lived asset impairment charges of $23,651 were recorded during
fiscal 2008. See Note 11 for further discussion.
Environmental expenditures:
Environmental expenditures related to current operations that qualify as
property, plant and equipment or substantially increase the economic value or
extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. All other expenditures are
expensed as incurred. Environmental expenditures that relate to an existing
condition caused by past operations are expensed. Liabilities are recorded on an
undiscounted basis when environmental assessments and/or remediation efforts are
probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated.
Self-insurance reserves: The
Company retains much of the financial risk for insuring property, general
liability, worker’s compensation and employee group health claims. Operations
are charged with the cost of claims reported and an estimate of claims incurred
but not recorded. Self-insurance accruals include estimated settlements for
known claims, as well as accruals of estimates, some of which are actuarially
determined, of incurred but not reported claims. The determination of insurance
claims and the appropriateness of the related liability accruals are reviewed
and updated at regular intervals.
Stock-based compensation:
Stock-based compensation is recognized by the Company using the fair-value-based
method prescribed by SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments.” Accordingly,
compensation cost for stock options, stock awards and restricted stock 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.
See Note 24 for further discussion.
Reclassifications: A $1,412
and $2,238 reclassification was made on the consolidated statement of cash flows
for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively, from cash flows from financing
activities to cash flows from investing activities to present the settlement of
derivative contracts on a consistent basis with the fiscal 2008
presentation.
Accounting standards changes and new
pronouncements: In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes” (FIN 48). This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income
Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for
the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN 48, if a tax position does not
meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold, the benefit of that
position is not recognized in the financial statements. The Company adopted FIN
48 as of April 1, 2007 which resulted in the recognition of an additional
liability of $1,579 for previously unrecognized tax benefits, with a
corresponding adjustment to retained earnings. See Note 7 for further
discussion.

In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles and establishes a hierarchy that
categorizes and prioritizes the sources to be used to estimate fair value. SFAS
No. 157 also expands financial statement disclosures about fair value
measurements. On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP)
157-2 which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year, for all
nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are
recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring
basis (at least annually). The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 157 and FSP
157-2 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and is currently assessing the impact
of adopting this pronouncement.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employer’s Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans,” an amendment of FASB Statement
Nos. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). The Company adopted the recognition and disclosure
requirements of SFAS No. 158 as of March 31, 2007. SFAS No. 158 also requires
that employers measure plan assets and the Company’s obligations as of the date
of their year-end financial statements beginning with the Company’s fiscal year
ending March 31, 2009. The Company adopted the year-end measurement date for its
pension and postretirement plans in fiscal 2008 using the prospective method,
which resulted in an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
of $828 and a reduction in retained earnings of $839.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an Amendment of SFAS No.
115” (SFAS No. 159), which permits an entity to measure many financial assets
and financial liabilities at fair value that are not currently required to be
measured at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option will report
unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The
fair value option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with a
few exceptions. SFAS No. 159 amends previous guidance to extend the use of the
fair value option to available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities. The
Statement also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements to help
financial statement users understand the effect of the election. SFAS No. 159 is
effective as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Management is
currently assessing the potential impact of this standard on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations” (SFAS No. 141(R)) which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business
Combination”. SFAS No. 141(R) retained the underlying concepts of SFAS No. 141
in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair
value under the acquisition method of accounting, but SFAS No. 141(R) changed
the method of applying the acquisition method in a number of significant
aspects. For all business combinations, the entity that acquires the business
will record 100 percent of all assets and liabilities of the acquired business,
including goodwill, generally at their fair values. Certain contingent assets
and liabilities acquired will be recognized at their fair values on the
acquisition date and changes in fair value of certain arrangements will be
recognized in earnings until settled. Acquisition-related transactions and
restructuring costs will be expensed rather than treated as an acquisition cost
and included in the amount recorded for assets acquired. SFAS No. 141(R) is
effective for the Company on a prospective basis for all business combinations
for which the acquisition date is on or after April 1, 2009, with the exception
of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax
contingencies. SFAS No. 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income
Taxes,” such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and
acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that close prior to the
effective date of SFAS No. 141(R) would also apply the provisions of SFAS No.
141(R). Early adoption is not allowed. Management is currently assessing the
potential impact of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements; however, the Company does not anticipate the adoption to have a
material impact on previous acquisitions.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51.” SFAS No. 160 amends
Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to
establish new standards that will govern the accounting for and reporting of (1)
non-controlling interest in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and (2)
the loss of control of subsidiaries. The Company’s consolidated subsidiaries are
wholly-owned and as such no minority interests are currently reported in its
consolidated financial statements. Other current ownership interests are
reported under the equity method of accounting under investments in affiliates.
SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company on a prospective basis on or after
April 1, 2009 except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which
will be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is not allowed. Based
upon the Company’s current portfolio of investments in affiliates, the Company
does not anticipate that adoption of this standard will have a material impact
on the consolidated financial statements.

In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No.
161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging
activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. SFAS
No. 161 is effective for the Company during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009.
Early adoption is encouraged. SFAS No. 161 encourages, but does not require,
comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on the Company’s
financial statement disclosures.
In
September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 108,
“Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements”, that provides interpretive
guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in
quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality
assessment. SAB No. 108 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year ended March
31, 2007. The Company elected early application of the provisions of SAB No. 108
during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. SAB No. 108 established an approach
that requires quantification of financial statement misstatements based on the
effects of the misstatements on each of the Company’s financial statements and
the related financial statement disclosures. This model is commonly referred to
as a “dual approach” because it requires quantification of errors under both the
iron curtain and the roll-over methods. SAB No. 108 permits initial application
of its provisions either by (i) restating prior financial statements as if the
“dual approach” had always been applied; or (ii) recording the cumulative effect
of initially applying the “dual approach” as adjustments to the carrying values
of assets and liabilities as of April 1, 2006 with an offsetting adjustment
recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings. We elected to record the
effects of applying SAB No. 108 using the cumulative effect transition method.

aggregate, to all periods prior to April 1, 2006.
(2) The
Company was not properly accounting for the disposal of fixed assets within the
Original Equipment – Europe segment. As a result of this error, net income was
overstated by $482 (cumulatively) in fiscal years prior to 2005, by $324 in

(4) The
Company did not properly recognize a $456 reduction in inventory at one
operating location within the Original Equipment – Americas segment which was
identified as a result of a physical inventory performed on September 26, 2006.
As a result of this error, pretax income was overstated by $456 in fiscal 2006.
The Company recorded a $456 reduction in the inventory balance as of April 1,
2006 with a corresponding reduction in retained earnings to correct this
misstatement.
(5) As a
result of a clerical error, the Company improperly capitalized certain corporate
administrative charges, consisting primarily of salaries and miscellaneous
office expenses, within accounts receivable at March 31, 2006. As a result of
this error, pretax income was overstated by $124 in fiscal 2006. The Company
recorded a $124 reduction in the accounts receivable balance as of April 1, 2006
with a corresponding reduction in retained earnings to correct this
misstatement.
(6) As a
result of the misstatements previously described, the provision for income taxes
was overstated by $166 (cumulatively) in fiscal years prior to 2005, by $112 in
fiscal 2005 and by $575 in fiscal 2006. The Company recorded an increase in the
deferred income tax assets in the amount of $853 as of April 1, 2006 with a
corresponding increase in retained earnings to correct these
misstatements.

Represents the net overstatement of net income for the indicated periods
resulting from these misstatements.
(8)
Represents the net reduction to retained earnings recorded as of April 1, 2006

While the
amounts above are considered immaterial to prior periods, they have been
corrected through the cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption of SAB No. 108
as recording these amounts in fiscal 2007 as an out-of-period adjustment would
have had a material effect on the results of operations for fiscal
2007.
Certain
of the adjustments ((4) & (5)) included above also resulted in an error in
the first quarter of fiscal 2007. This error represented an overstatement of net
income for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 totaling approximately $600, which
was corrected in the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

Note
4: Employee benefit plans
Defined
Contribution Employee Benefit Plans:
401(k) plans: The Company
maintains domestic 401(k) plans which allow employees to choose among various
investment alternatives, including Modine stock. The Company currently matches
50 percent of the employees’ contribution up to 6 percent of employee
compensation. Company contributions have an initial three year vesting
period.
Defined contribution plan:
The Company maintains a domestic defined contribution plan which was established
in January 1, 2004 and initially covered all eligible salaried employees hired
after January 1, 2004. Effective April 1, 2006, all salaried employees
previously covered under the Modine Salaried Employee Pension Plan were eligible
to participate in this plan. Modine makes annual contributions based on a
percentage of compensation, which is determined by management. Employees can
choose among various investment alternatives including Modine
stock.
Deferred compensation plan:
The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for eligible
employees. The plan is funded and allows qualified employees to choose among
various investment alternatives including Modine stock. The Company matching
contributions are participant directed similar to the 401(k) plans.
Activity
in the defined contribution employee benefit plans, including the employee stock
ownership plan discussed in Note 24, for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 resulted in
the purchase of 247, 4 and 113 shares of Modine common stock, respectively.
These purchases were made from the open market. It is currently anticipated that
future purchases will also be made from the open market or other available
sources at the discretion of the plans’ administrative committees. Costs of
Modine’s contributions to the defined contribution employee benefit plans for
fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $7,746, $8,104 and $5,050,
respectively.

In
addition, various Modine foreign subsidiaries have in place government required
defined contribution plans under which Modine contributes a percentage of
employee earnings into accounts, consistent with local laws.
Statutory
Termination Plans:
Our South
Korean business is required to offer a statutory employee termination plan that
covers employees with at least one year of service. Eligible employees are
entitled to receive a lump-sum payment upon termination of employment, based on
their length of service and rate of pay at the time of termination. Accrued
termination benefits are estimated assuming all eligible employees were to
terminate their employment at the end of fiscal 2008. The Company is permitted,
but not required to make contributions to the plan, and such contributions are
held in South Korean insurance companies. These contributions are deducted from
the accrued termination benefit liability. At March 31, 2008 and 2007, the
Company maintained an accrued termination liability of $13,359 and $10,573,
respectively, for this termination plan.
Certain
of Modine’s other foreign subsidiaries also have statutory termination indemnity
plans covering all of their eligible employees. The benefits under these plans
are based on years of service and final average compensation levels or a monthly
retirement benefit amount. These programs are all substantially unfunded in
accordance with local laws, but are often covered by national obligatory
umbrella insurance programs that protect employees from losses in the event that
an employer defaults on its obligations.
Defined
Benefit Employee Benefit Plans:
Pension plans: Modine has
several non-contributory defined benefit pension plans that cover most of its
domestic employees hired on or before December 31, 2003. The benefits provided
are based primarily on years of service and average compensation for the
salaried plans and some hourly plans. Other hourly plans are based on a monthly
retirement benefit amount. Domestic salaried employees hired after December 31,
2003 are not covered under any defined benefit plan. Certain of Modine’s foreign
subsidiaries also have legacy defined benefit plans covering a small number of
active employees.
In
February 2008, the Company announced the closure of its facilities in
Logansport, Indiana, and Pemberville, Ohio. The Company recorded pension
curtailment charges of $485 and $1,378 during fiscal 2008 to reflect the impact
of these upcoming closures on the Logansport Hourly-Paid Employees Retirement
Plan and the Pemberville Hourly-Paid Employees Retirement Plan,
respectively.
In
September 2007, the Company announced that effective January 1, 2008, the Modine
Manufacturing Company Pension Plan for Non-Union Hourly-Paid Factory and
Salaried Employees (Salaried Employee Component) and the Modine Manufacturing
Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan was modified so that no increases
in annual earnings after December 31, 2007 would be included in calculating the
average annual earnings portion under the pension plan formula. The Company
recorded a pension curtailment gain of $4,214 and a reduction in the pension
benefit obligation of $15,501 during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to
reflect this modification.
In July
2006, the Company announced the closure of its facility in Clinton, Tennessee.
The Company recorded a pension curtailment charge of $650 during fiscal 2007 to
reflect the impact of this upcoming closure on the Clinton Hourly-Paid Employees
Retirement Plan.
In May
2006, the Company offered a voluntary enhanced early retirement program to
certain U.S. employees. This program generally included an enhanced pension
benefit of five years of credited service for those employees who accepted the
early retirement program. The Company recorded a charge of $738 during fiscal
2007 to reflect this enhanced pension benefit.
Postretirement plans: Modine
and certain of its domestic subsidiaries provide selected healthcare and
life-insurance benefits for retired employees. Designated employees may become
eligible for those benefits when they retire. These plans are unfunded. Modine
periodically amends the plans, changing the contribution rate of retirees and
the amounts and forms of coverage. An annual limit on Modine’s liability (a
“cap”) was established for most plans between fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1996 after
original recognition of the liability in fiscal 1993. It maximizes future costs
at 200 percent of Modine’s then-current cost. These changes reduced the accrued
obligation, and the reduction is being amortized as a component of the benefit
cost.

In
December 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act
of 2003 (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act introduces a prescription drug
benefit under Medicare as well as a federal subsidy to sponsors of retirement
medical plans with prescription drug coverage when the benefit is at least
actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. In May 2004, the FASB issued FASB
Staff Position (FSP) No. 106-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related
to the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003.”
FSP No. 106-2 provides authoritative guidance on the accounting for the federal
subsidy and specifies the disclosure requirements for employers who have adopted
FSP No. 106-2, including those who are unable to determine whether benefits
provided under its plan are actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part
D.
Certain
of Modine’s postretirement benefit plans covering U.S. retirees currently
provide prescription benefits to eligible participants. The Company’s actuaries
have determined that several of the prescription drug plans for retirees and
their dependents provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to
Medicare Part D under the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and
Modernization Act. For fiscal 2008 and 2007, the Company recorded reductions to
the net periodic postretirement medical benefit cost of $413 and $805,
respectively, due to the effect of the federal subsidy.
Measurement Date: Modine uses
March 31 as the measurement date for its U.S. pension and postretirement plans.
The Company adopted the measurement date requirement of SFAS No. 158,
“Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement
Plans, an amendment of FASB Statement Nos. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)” during fiscal
2008. SFAS No. 158 requires that employers measure plan assets and the Company’s
obligations as of the date of their year-end financial statements. The Company
adopted the year-end measurement date for its pension and postretirement plans
in fiscal 2008 using the prospective method, which resulted in an increase in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of $828 and a reduction in
retained earnings of $839.
The
Company adopted the recognition and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 158 as
of March 31, 2007. SFAS No. 158 requires companies to recognize a net asset or
liability to report the funded status of defined benefit pension and other
postretirement plans on the balance sheet and recognize changes in that funded
status in the year in which the changes occur through other comprehensive income
in shareholders’ equity. SFAS No. 158 does not change the amounts recognized in
the income statement as net periodic benefit costs. The incremental effect of
applying SFAS No. 158 on individual line items in the consolidated balance sheet

The
discount rate used to determine the present value of the Company’s future U.S.
pension obligations as of the measurement date uses a methodology that equates
the plans’ projected benefit obligations to a present value, calculated using a
yield curve. The yield curve was constructed from a portfolio of high quality,
non-callable corporate debt securities with maturities ranging from one-half to
thirty years. The discount rate was determined by matching the pension plans’
expected cash flows (on a PBO basis) with spot rates developed from the yield
curve.
The
discount rate used to determine the present value of the Company's future
foreign pension obligations as of the measurement date is based upon the yield
for zero coupon bonds plus a yield margin measured as the difference between
corporate bonds (AA or higher) in Europe and government bonds.
Plan
assets in the U.S. defined benefit plans comprise 100 percent of the Company’s
world-wide benefit plan assets. Modine's U.S. pension plan weighted-average
asset allocations at the measurement dates of March 31, 2008 and December 31,
2006 by category, and the target allocation for the years ended March 31,
2008 and 2007 are summarized below:

Due to
market conditions and other factors including timing of benefit payments, actual
asset allocation may vary from the target allocation outlined above. The assets
are periodically rebalanced to the target allocations. Included in the plan
assets for fiscal 2008 are 373 shares of Modine common stock with a market value
of $5,399 (2.8 percent of total plan assets). For 2007, the plan held 482 shares
of Modine common stock with a market value of $12,070 (5.6 percent of total plan
assets).
Modine
employs a total return investment approach, whereby a mix of equities and fixed
income investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets
while avoiding excessive risk. Pension plan guidelines have been established
based upon an evaluation of market conditions, tolerance for risk and cash
requirements for benefit payments. Investment risk is measured and monitored on
an ongoing basis through quarterly investment portfolio reviews, annual
liability measurements and periodic asset/liability studies.
The
expected rate of return on U.S. plan assets is based upon historical return
experience and forward-looking return expectations for major asset class
categories. For fiscal 2008, Modine assumed a rate of return of 8.25 percent for
purposes of determining the U.S. pension plan expense. For fiscal year 2009 U.S
pension plan expense, Modine has assumed a rate of 8.25 percent, net of
administrative expenses.

The
funding policy for domestic qualified pension plans is to contribute annually at
a minimum, the amount necessary on an actuarial basis to provide for benefits in
accordance with applicable law and regulation. Modine does not anticipate that
it will make any contributions to these plans during fiscal 2009. Modine does
expect to contribute $2,779 to its postretirement benefit plans in fiscal
2009.

The
Company allocates income tax expense (benefit) between continuing operations,
discontinued operations, and other comprehensive income pursuant to SFAS No.
109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” SFAS No. 109 is applied by tax
jurisdiction, and in periods in which there is a loss from continuing operations
before income taxes and pre-tax income in another category (e.g., discontinued
operations or other comprehensive income), income tax expense is first allocated
to the other sources of income, with a related benefit recorded in continuing
operations.

SFAS No.
109 requires an assessment of whether a valuation allowance should be
established against deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all
available evidence and considering whether it is more likely than not that the
deferred tax assets will not be realized. Given the continued underperformance
of the South Korean business and current market conditions of the Original
Equipment – North America segment as well as other factors arising during fiscal
2008 which may impact future operating results, the Company considered both
positive and negative evidence in evaluating the need for a valuation allowance
relating to the deferred tax assets of the U.S. and South Korean tax
jurisdictions. Based on projections for the South Korean business to continue to
underperform and projected losses in the U.S., the Company determined that it
was more likely than not that the South Korean and U.S. deferred tax assets will
not be realized and a valuation allowance of $6,655 and $58,024 was recorded
against the net South Korean and U.S. deferred tax assets, respectively, during
fiscal 2008. The Company will continue to provide a valuation allowance against
its net South Korean and U.S. deferred tax assets going forward until the need
for the valuation allowance is eliminated. The need for the valuation allowance
will be eliminated when the Company determines it is more likely than not that
the deferred tax assets will be realized. Accordingly, income taxes are
impacted, and will continue to be impacted, by providing a valuation allowance
on South Korean and U.S. operating losses.
During
fiscal 2007, the Company recorded a $4,088 tax benefit related to net operating
losses in Brazil that were previously unavailable. This benefit became available
in connection with the recent acquisition of the remaining 50 percent of
Radiadores Visconde Ltda. and tax restructuring of the Brazilian operations.
Also in fiscal 2007, the Company recorded a $2,518 tax benefit resulting from
the passage of legislation extending the research and development tax credit. A
greater proportion of our taxable income was earned in tax jurisdictions outside
of the U.S. during fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006. These tax
jurisdictions generally have lower statutory tax rates, which contributed to the
reduction in the effective tax rate during fiscal 2007.
During
fiscal 2006, $84,800 was repatriated to the United States from a foreign
location under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The repatriation of cash
resulted in income tax expense of $2,010 during fiscal 2006. In addition, the
Company recorded an income tax benefit of $4,376 during fiscal 2006 for research
and development tax credits.

The
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2007 was $3,844. The
valuation allowance increased by $65,727 in fiscal 2008 related to the valuation
allowance against the net U.S. deferred tax assets of $58,024, the valuation
allowance against the net South Korean deferred tax assets of $6,655, and
miscellaneous other valuation allowances recorded in other foreign tax
jurisdictions of $1,048.
The
Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes, on April 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the
Company recognized a $1,579 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax
benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to April 1, 2007 retained
earnings. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized
tax benefits is as follows:

interest and penalties, at March 31, 2008 that, if recognized, would affect the
effective tax rate was $7,221. This amount has been reduced to $5,810 as of
March 31, 2008 as $1,411 of the unrecognized tax benefits are offset by a
corresponding increase to the valuation allowance and therefore would have no
effect on the effective tax rate.
The
Company is currently under routine examination in the U.S. and certain foreign
countries. The examinations are in various stages of audit by the applicable
taxing authorities. Based on the outcome of these examinations, it is reasonably
possible that the related unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken
regarding previously filed tax returns will materially change from those
recorded as liabilities for uncertain tax positions in our financial statements.
These examinations may be resolved within the next twelve months, but at this
time it is not possible to estimate the amount of impact of any such changes to
the previously recorded uncertain tax positions.
In
accordance with its accounting policy, the Company recognizes accrued interest
and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax
expense. During fiscal 2008, $155 of interest and penalties was recorded as a
component of income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations. At
March 31, 2008, $1,548 of accrued interest and penalties are included in the
consolidated balance sheet.
The
Company files income tax returns, including returns for its subsidiaries, with
federal, state, local and foreign taxing jurisdictions. The following tax years
remain subject to examination by the respective major tax
jurisdictions:

expire at various times during the years 2012 through 2028. In addition, the
Company has tax loss carry forwards of $22,148 in jurisdictions outside the U.S.
Certain of these credits, primarily in the U.S. and South Korea, are offset by a
valuation allowance. If not utilized against taxable income, these tax losses
will expire as follows:

2008 in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” During this assessment, certain
long-lived assets were deemed to be impaired and a write-down to fair value was
considered necessary. As a result, impairment charges of $23,651 were recorded
during fiscal 2008. The impairment charges included $3,407 related to assets in
the Original Equipment – North America segment for a program which was not able
to support its asset base. Impairment charges also included $12,077 related to
assets at the Asan City, South Korea manufacturing facility in the Original
Equipment – Asia segment based on their underperforming operations and declining
outlook. Also included in the impairment charges was $4,675 related to assets in
the Tübingen, Germany manufacturing facility within the Original Equipment –
Europe segment based on the Company’s intention to close this facility, and
$3,492 related to certain assets in the Commercial Products segment for the
cancellation of a product in its development stage.
Gains and
losses related to the disposal of property, plant and equipment are recorded in
cost of sales or selling, general, and administrative expenses depending on the
nature of the assets disposed. Total gains related to the disposal of property,
plant and equipment were $3,297 for the year ended March 31, 2008. Total losses
related to the disposal of property, plant, and equipment were $2,033 and $525

At March
31, 2008 and 2007, the investment in Construction Mechaniques Mota, S.A.
exceeded the Company's share of the underlying assets by $1,903 and $1,659,
respectively. The fluctuations in these values were the result of exchange rate
changes between the local currency and the U.S. dollar. At March 31, 2008 and
2007, the Company’s share of the underlying assets of Anhui Jianghaui Mando
Climate Control Co., Ltd. exceeded the carrying value of the investment by $291
and $341, respectively. The excess, which relates to certain property, plant and
equipment, will be amortized into income over the estimated remaining lives of
the assets. The investment in Nikkei Heat Exchanger Company, Ltd. is equal to
the Company's investment in the underlying assets.
The
results of operations for Nikkei Heat Exchanger Company, Ltd. and Anhui
Jianghaui Mando Climate Control Co. Ltd. are reported in the consolidated
financial statements using a one-month reporting delay. Operating results for
Construction Mechaniques Mota, S.A. are included using a three-month delay.
Fiscal 2007 includes two months of operating activity for Radiadores Visconde
Ltda., prior to the remaining 50 percent ownership being purchased in early May
2006. See Note 13 for further discussion. Equity in earnings from
non-consolidated affiliates is reported under other income – net in the
consolidated statements of operations. These earnings for fiscal years ended
March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 were $2,799, $3,576 and $4,222,
respectively.
Note
13: Acquisitions
Effective
May 4, 2006, Modine acquired the remaining 50 percent of the stock of Radiadores
Visconde Ltda. which it did not already own, for $11,096, net of cash acquired,
and the incurrence of a $2,000 note which is payable in 24 months, subject to
the sellers’ indemnification obligations under the agreement, for a total net
purchase price of $13,096. The acquisition was financed using cash generated
from operations and borrowing on the Company’s revolving credit agreement. The
purchase agreement also includes a $4,000 performance payment which is
contingent on the cumulative earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization of the business over a 24 month period. Subsequent to the end of
fiscal 2008, the 24 month performance period expired, and the contingency was
not met over this period. Accordingly, the $4,000 performance payment will not
be required to be paid by the Company.
This 50
percent step acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method. Acquired
assets and liabilities assumed were recorded at their respective fair market
values. Intangible assets were recorded at the acquisition date for a tradename
and non-compete agreements valued at $1,153 and $430, respectively. The
tradename has an indefinite life and is not being amortized, and the non-compete
agreements are being amortized over five years. The purchase price
allocation resulted in the fair market values of the assets and liabilities
acquired exceeding the purchase price. Accordingly, the $4,000 contingent
performance payment has been recorded as a liability in the purchase price
allocation, reducing the amount by which the fair market values of the assets
and liabilities acquired exceeded the purchase price, and increasing the total
net purchase price to $17,096. This liability will be reversed in fiscal 2009 as
the performance contingency was not met. The remaining excess by which the fair
market values of assets and liabilities acquired exceeded the purchase price has
been allocated as a reduction to the acquired long-lived assets on a pro-rata
basis.
Prior to
the acquisition, the Company accounted for its initial 50 percent investment in
Radiadores Visconde Ltda. under the equity method. With the purchase of the
remaining 50 percent, the Company ceased accounting for its investment in
Radiadores Visconde Ltda. under the equity method and began accounting for its
100 percent ownership on a consolidated basis. The equity investment balance on
May 4, 2006 totaled $26,650, and was allocated to the book value of the assets
and liabilities previously owned. This resulted in the recognition of goodwill
totaling $11,821 which consists of the excess of the initial 50 percent
investment over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. The
goodwill is not deductible for income tax purposes.
This
acquisition is reported in the South America segment. For financial reporting
purposes, Radiadores Visconde Ltda. is included in the consolidated financial
statements using a one-month delay similar to the Company’s other foreign
subsidiaries. Accordingly, the operational results reported for fiscal 2007
included two months of equity method accounting for the Company’s initial 50
percent ownership prior to the acquisition, and ten months of consolidated
activity reflecting the Company’s 100 percent ownership.

In
addition, the Electronics Cooling business had cash of $1,156 and $1,239 at
March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, that was included in cash and cash
equivalents on the consolidated balance sheets and the cash balance will not be
included in the sales transaction.
On July
22, 2005, the Company completed the spin off of its Aftermarket business on a
debt-free and tax-free basis to its shareholders and the immediate merger of the
spun off business into Transpro.
Effective
July 22, 2005, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of January 31, 2005, among Modine, Modine Aftermarket Holdings, Inc. and
Transpro and as amended June 16, 2005, Modine Aftermarket Holdings, Inc. was
merged with and into Transpro, with Transpro surviving the merger. For
accounting purposes, Transpro is considered to be the acquirer of Modine
Aftermarket Holdings, Inc. Upon effectiveness of the merger, Transpro changed
its name to Proliance International, Inc. Modine shareholders retained their
Modine common shares and, in the merger, received 0.23581 of a share of the
common stock of the combined company in exchange for each share of Aftermarket
Holdings, Inc. common stock issued to them in the distribution. Immediately
following the merger, Modine shareholders owned approximately 52 percent of
Proliance’s common stock on a fully diluted basis and Transpro’s pre-merger
shareholders owned the other 48 percent.
In
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” it was determined that the Aftermarket
business, part of the former Distributed Products segment, should be presented
as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements. In fiscal
2006, the Company recorded, as a result of the spin off transaction, a non-cash
charge to earnings of $53,462. The amount of the non-cash charge was comprised
of two components: $50,101 to reflect the difference between the value which
Modine shareholders received in the new company of $51,319, a function of the
stock price of Transpro at the closing, and the $101,420 in asset carrying value
of Modine’s Aftermarket business; and $3,361 of foreign currency translation
loss recognized at the date of the transaction.

15: Restructuring, plant closures and other related costs
During
fiscal 2008, the Company announced the closure of three U.S. manufacturing
plants along with the Tübingen, Germany facility. These measures are aimed at
realigning the Company’s manufacturing operations, improving profitability and
strengthening global competitiveness. In April 2008, the Company identified the
U.S. plant closures to be Camdenton, Missouri; Pemberville, Ohio; and
Logansport, Indiana.
In fiscal
2007, Modine announced a global competitiveness program intended to reduce cost,
accelerate technology development, and accelerate market and geographic
expansion – all intended to stimulate growth and profits. The Company initiated
the following plans: relocated its Harrodsburg, Kentucky-based research and
development activities to its technology center in Racine, Wisconsin; offered a
voluntary early retirement program in the U.S.; implemented a reduction in force
in the U.S.; and announced facility closings within North America in Toledo,
Ohio; Richland, South Carolina; Jackson, Mississippi; and Clinton, Tennessee. As
of March 31, 2008, the Toledo and Richland facilities have been closed, and the
Company is in the process of finalizing the closure of the Jackson facility. The
Clinton facility is scheduled for closure in fiscal 2009.
For the
year ended March 31, 2008, one-time termination charges of $3,565, pension
curtailment charges of $1,863 and other closure costs of $4,677 were recorded
related to these closures. The Company incurred $3,618 of termination charges,
$1,728 of charges related to benefits provided to employees who accepted the
early retirement program, $663 of pension curtailment charges and $4,675 of
other closure costs in fiscal 2007 related to these plans. The closures are
anticipated to be completed within the next 18 to 24 months. Further additional
costs which are anticipated to be incurred through fiscal 2010 are approximately
$23,000; consisting of $6,000 of employee-related costs and $17,000 of other
costs such as equipment moving costs and miscellaneous facility closing costs.
Total additional cash expenditures of approximately $20,000 are anticipated to
be incurred related to these closures.
Changes
in the accrued restructuring liability for the years ended March 31, 2008 and
2007 were comprised of the following related to the above described

The
Company conducted its annual assessment for goodwill impairment in the third
quarter of fiscal 2008 by applying a fair value based test in accordance with
SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and determined that the
Original Equipment – North America segment goodwill was fully impaired,
necessitating a charge of $23,769. The impairment was due to a recent declining
outlook for the Original Equipment – North America segment as a result of weak
North America sales volumes and lower gross margins related to plant closures,
new product launches and continued pricing pressures impacting the vehicular
industry. The goodwill impairment assessment was updated during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2008. The fair value of the Company’s remaining reporting
units exceeded their respective book values.

On
September 29, 2005, the Company entered into a $75,000, 4.91 percent note
through a private placement with Key Banc Capital Markets acting as its agent
with respect to placement of the notes. The proceeds from the notes were used to
repay outstanding debt and related interest maturing on September 29, 2005
totaling $61,559 and for other general corporate purposes. The notes mature on
September 29, 2015 and contain customary restrictive covenants including certain
restrictions on indebtedness, including that of guarantor subsidiaries;
consolidations and mergers; sale of assets; investments, loans and encumbrances;
transactions with affiliates; and Modine’s total debt to EBITDA
ratio.
On
December 7, 2006, the Company entered into a $50,000, 5.68 percent Series A
Senior note and a $25,000, 5.68 percent Series B Senior note with JPMorgan
Securities Inc. acting as its agent with respect to placement of the notes. The
proceeds from the notes were used for general corporate purposes, including
repayment of borrowings on existing domestic credit lines. The Series A Senior
notes mature on December 7, 2017 and the Series B Senior notes mature on
December 7, 2018. The notes contain customary restrictive covenants, including
those relating to guarantor subsidiaries; consolidations and mergers; sale of
assets; investments, loans and encumbrances; transactions with affiliates; and
Modine’s total debt to EBITDA ratio. In conjunction with this offer, the Company
entered into two forward starting swaps to lock the interest rates. See Note 20
for additional disclosure regarding these forward starting swaps.
On
December 20, 2005, the Company borrowed the aggregate principal amount of 71,000
euro ($84,233 U.S. equivalent) under a Credit Agreement dated as of December 13,
2005 through its newly formed Austrian subsidiary Modine Holding GmbH with J.P.
Morgan Europe Limited acting as its agent. This loan was secured by a guarantee
from Modine Manufacturing Company, as parent, and by certain other subsidiaries
of Modine. The proceeds of the loan were used by Modine Holding GmbH to purchase
a portion of the shares of Modine’s Austrian operating subsidiary, Modine
Austria GmbH, for the purpose of repatriation of cash from Modine subsidiaries
in Europe for Modine to avail itself of associated tax benefits and for general
corporate purposes. The aggregate commitment of 71,000 euro included 30,000 euro
($35,621 U.S. equivalent) which was repaid on December 23, 2005 and 41,000 euro
($52,274 U.S. equivalent) which was repaid in fiscal 2007.
The
Company maintains a $200,000 revolving credit facility expiring in October 2009.
The credit facility includes a customary accordion feature that allows for an
additional $75,000 of borrowing capacity. Borrowings under the credit facility
bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a spread based on certain financial
criteria, or the prime rate at Modine’s option.

Provisions
contained in the Company’s revolving credit facility and Senior note agreements
require the Company to maintain specified financial ratios and place certain
limitations on dividend payments and the acquisition of Modine common stock. The
most restrictive limitations were debt-to-earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) below a 3.0 to 1.0 ratio and earnings
before interest and taxes (EBIT) to interest expense (interest coverage ratio)
greater than a 3.0 to 1.0 ratio. The Company would have been in violation of its
interest coverage ratio as of December 26, 2007 in one or more of its
agreements, had the agreements not been amended, primarily due to the goodwill
impairment charge recorded within the Original Equipment – North America
segment.
On
February 1, 2008, the Company amended its revolving credit facility and Senior
note agreements to revise certain financial covenants to allow the add-back of
certain non-cash and cash charges in connection with the calculations effective
December 26, 2007. The cash charges relate to Modine’s recently announced
restructuring program, where the Company is permitted to add back future cash
related charges up to a basket limit of $25,000 through fiscal 2010. The most
restrictive interest coverage ratio was reduced from its historical level of 3.0
to 1.0 to varying ratios for interim quarters with the lowest being 1.75 to 1.0
and returning to 2.5 to 1.0 for the quarter ending June 30, 2009 and beyond. In
connection with these amendments, interest costs increased 35 basis points for
the notes, for the period beginning on April 1, 2008 and ending on June 30,
2009. In connection with the amendments, the Company incurred $388 of amendment
fees to its creditors. At March 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all
the covenants.
The fair
value of long-term debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows at
rates offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable
maturities. At March 31, 2008 and 2007, the carrying value of Modine's
long-term debt approximated fair value, with the exception of the $75,000, 4.91
percent fixed rate note, which has a fair value of approximately $77,000 and
$70,800 at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and the $75,000, 5.68 percent
fixed rate notes, which have a fair value of approximately $82,200 and $74,600
at March 31, 2008 and 2007.

Note
19: 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. In
fiscal 2008 and 2007, one customer accounted for ten percent or more of total
Company sales. In fiscal 2006, no single customer accounted for ten percent or
more of total Company sales. Sales to the Company’s top ten customers were
approximately 57 percent, 64 percent and 60 percent of total annual sales in
fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At March 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006,
approximately 51 percent, 52 percent and 58 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 influenced by many of the same market and general
economic factors. To reduce the credit risk, the Company performs periodic
credit evaluations of each customer and actively monitors their financial
condition and developing business news. Collateral or advanced payments are
generally not required, but may be used 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 for the
periods presented have been below one percent of outstanding trade receivable
balances at respective year-ends.

In
addition to the external borrowing, the Company has certain foreign-denominated
long-term intercompany loans that are sensitive to foreign exchange rates. At
March 31, 2008, the Company had a 24,095,000 won ($24,328 U.S. equivalent), 8-yr
loan to its wholly owned subsidiary Modine Korea, LLC that matures on August 31,
2012. On April 6, 2005, the Company entered into a zero cost collar to hedge the
foreign exchange exposure on the entire amount of the Modine Korea, LLC loan.
This collar was settled on August 29, 2006 for a loss of $1,139. On August 29,
2006, the Company entered into a new zero cost collar that expired on February
29, 2008 to hedge the foreign exchange exposure on the entire outstanding amount
of the Modine Korea, LLC loan. This collar was settled on February 29, 2008 at
no cost. On February 29, 2008, the Company entered into a new zero cost collar
that expired on March 31, 2008 to hedge the foreign exchange exposure on the
entire outstanding amount of the Modine Korea, LLC loan. This collar was settled
on March 28, 2008 for a gain of $603. On March 28, 2008, the Company entered
into a purchased option contract that expires March 31, 2009 to hedge the
foreign exchange exposure on the entire outstanding amount of the Modine Korea,
LLC loan. The derivative instruments are not being treated as hedges, and
accordingly, transaction gains or losses on the derivative instruments are being
recorded in other income – net in the consolidated statement of operations and
acts to offset any currency movement on the outstanding loan receivable. During
fiscal 2008, Modine Korea, LLC paid 4,800,000 won ($5,055 U.S. equivalent) on
this inter-company loan and the Company correspondingly adjusted the zero cost
collar to reflect the payment.
At March
31, 2008, the Company also had two inter-company loans totaling $20,041 to
its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Brazil with various maturity dates through
May 2011. On June 21, 2007, the Company entered into a zero cost
collar that expired on March 31, 2008 to hedge the foreign exchange exposure on
the principal amount of the loans. This collar was settled on
March 31, 2008 for a loss of 3,896 reais ($2,279 U.S.
equivalent). On March 31, 2008, the Company entered into a purchased option
contract that expires on April 1, 2009 to hedge the foreign exchange exposure on
the larger ($15,000) of the two inter-company loans. The smaller
inter-company loan ($5,040) will be repaid by February 2009 and its foreign
exchange exposure will be managed by natural hedges and offsets that exist in
the Company’s operations. The derivative instruments are not being treated
as hedges, and accordingly, transaction gains or losses on the derivatives are
being recorded in other income – net in the consolidated statement of operations
and acts to offset any currency movement on the outstanding loan receivable. See
also Note 20 for further discussion of derivative instruments.
The
Company also has other inter-company loans outstanding at March 31, 2008 as
follows:
|
·
|
$938
loan to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal Systems India, that
matures on April 30, 2013;
|
|
·
|
$5,950
loan to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal Systems Co (Changzhou,
China), that matures on February 1, 2009;
and
|
|
·
|
$1,117
loan to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal Systems Shanghai, that
matures on January 19, 2009.
|
These
inter-company loans are sensitive to movement in foreign exchange rates, and the
Company does not have any derivative instruments which hedges this
exposure.
Note
20: Derivative instruments
Modine
uses derivative financial instruments in a limited way as a tool to manage
certain financial risks. Their use is restricted primarily to hedging assets and
obligations already held by Modine, and they are used to protect cash flows
rather than generate income or engage in speculative activity. Leveraged
derivatives are prohibited by Company policy.
Commodity Derivatives: The
Company enters into futures contracts related to certain of the Company’s
forecasted purchases of aluminum and natural gas. The Company’s strategy in
entering into these contracts is to reduce its exposure to changing purchase
prices for future purchase 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 other comprehensive
income, and recognized as a component of earnings at the same time that the
underlying purchases of aluminum and natural gas impact earnings. During the
years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, $1,974 of expense and $400 of income,
respectively, was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations related
to the settlement of certain futures contracts. At March 31, 2008, $1,431 of
unrealized gains remain deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income, and
will be realized as a component of cost of sales over the next nine
months.
MODINE
MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In

During
fiscal 2008, the Company entered into futures contracts related to certain of
the Company’s forecasted purchases of copper and nickel. The Company’s strategy
in entering into these contracts is to reduce its exposure to changing purchase
prices for future purchases of these commodities. The Company has not designated
these contracts as hedges, therefore gains and losses on these contracts are
recorded directly in the consolidated statements of operations. During the year
ended March 31, 2008, $224 of income was recorded in cost of sales related to
these futures contracts.
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. Modine periodically enters into foreign currency exchange
contracts to hedge specific foreign currency denominated transactions.
Generally, these contracts have terms of 90 or fewer days. The effect of this
practice is to minimize the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on
Modine’s earnings. 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 offset gains and losses on the assets and liabilities being
hedged.
As of
March 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had no outstanding forward foreign exchange
contracts, with the exception of the purchased option contracts to hedge the
foreign exchange exposure on the entire amount of the Modine Korea, LLC loan and
the $15,000 Modine Brazil loan which are discussed at further length in Note 19.
Non-U.S. dollar financing transactions through intercompany loans or local
borrowings in the corresponding currency generally are effective as hedges of
long-term investments.
The
Company has a number of investments in wholly owned foreign subsidiaries and
non-consolidated foreign joint ventures. The net assets of these subsidiaries
are exposed to currency exchange rate volatility. From time to time, the Company
uses non-derivative financial instruments to hedge, or offset, this exposure. As
of March 31, 2008 and 2007, there were no outstanding foreign-denominated
borrowings on the parent company’s balance sheet to offset this
exposure.
Interest rate derivative: On
August 5, 2005, the Company entered into a one-month forward ten-year treasury
interest rate lock in anticipation of a private placement borrowing which
occurred on September 29, 2005. The contract was settled on September 1, 2005
with a loss of $1,794. On October 25, 2006, the Company entered into two forward
starting swaps in anticipation of the $75,000 private placement debt offering
that occurred on December 7, 2006. On November 14, 2006, the fixed interest rate
of the private placement borrowing was locked and, accordingly, the Company
terminated and settled the forward starting swaps at a loss of $1,812. These
interest rate derivatives were treated as cash flow hedges of forecasted
transactions. Accordingly, the losses are reflected as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and are being amortized to
interest expense over the respective lives of the borrowings.
During
the years ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, $278 and $145 of expense, respectively,
was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations related to the
interest rate derivative losses. At March 31, 2008, $1,797 of net unrealized
losses remains deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss).
Note
21: Product warranties, guarantees and other commitments
Product warranties: Modine
provides product warranties for its assorted product lines with warranty periods
generally ranging from one to ten years, with the majority falling within a two
to four year time period. The Company accrues for estimated future warranty
costs in the period in which the sale is recorded, and warranty expense
estimates are forecasted based on the best information available using
analytical and statistical analysis of both historical and current claim data.
These expenses are adjusted when it becomes probable that expected claims will
differ from initial estimates recorded at the time of the sale.

Indemnification agreements:
From time to time, the Company provides indemnification agreements
related to the sale or purchase of an entity or facility. These indemnification
agreements cover customary representations and warranties typically provided in
conjunction with the transactions, including income, sales, excise or other tax
matters, environmental matters and other third-party claims. The indemnification
periods provided generally range from less than one year to fifteen years. The
Company obtains insurance coverage for certain indemnification matters, as
considered appropriate based on the nature of the indemnification matter or
length of indemnification period. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding
indemnifications at March 31, 2008 is not material.
Commitments: At March 31,
2008, the Company had capital expenditure commitments of $44,085. Significant
commitments include tooling and equipment expenditures for new and renewal
platforms with new and current customers in Europe, Asia, and North America,
along with the expansion in Asia. The Company utilizes consignment inventory
arrangements with certain vendors in the normal course of business, whereby the
suppliers maintain certain inventory stock at the Company's facilities or at
other outside facilities. In these cases, the Company has agreements with the
vendor to use the material within a specific period of time.

During
fiscal 2006, the Company announced two common share repurchase programs approved
by the Board of Directors. The first program, announced on May 18, 2005, was a
dual purpose program authorizing the repurchase of up to five percent of the
Company’s outstanding common stock, as well as the indefinite buy-back of
additional shares to offset dilution from Modine’s incentive stock plans. The
five percent portion of this program was completed in fiscal 2006, while the
anti-dilution portion of this program continues to be available to the Company.
During the twelve months ended March 31, 2008, 250 shares were purchased under
the anti-dilution portion of this program at an average cost of $27.48 per
share, or a total of $6,870. No shares were repurchased under the anti-dilution
portion of this program during fiscal 2007.
MODINE
MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In
thousands, except per share amounts)
On
January 26, 2006, the Company announced a second share repurchase program, which
authorized the repurchase of up to ten percent of the Company’s outstanding
shares over an 18-month period of time, which expired on July 26, 2007. No share
repurchases were made under this program during fiscal 2008. During the twelve
months ended March 31, 2007, 503 shares were purchased under this program at an
average cost of $26.38 per share, or a total of $13,263.
The
repurchases under the two programs were made from time to time at current prices
through solicited and unsolicited transactions in the open market or in
privately negotiated or other transactions. The Company has retired shares
acquired pursuant to the programs, and the retired shares have been returned to
the status of authorized but un-issued shares.
The
Company continues to evaluate the potential for future purchases under these
authorized programs based on its cash capabilities and indebtedness capacity,
while balancing its key cash priorities of investment in the business for
growth, acquisitions and dividends.
During
fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company repurchased 42, 49 and 64 shares of
stock, respectively, for a cost of $835, $1,256, and $2,129, respectively. The
Company, pursuant to its equity compensation plans, gives participants the
opportunity to deliver back to the Company the number of shares from the vesting
of stock awards sufficient to satisfy the individual’s tax withholding
obligations. These shares are held as treasury shares.
Note
23: Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
Comprehensive
(loss) income includes net earnings, foreign currency translation adjustments,
change in SFAS No. 158 benefit plan adjustment and the effective portion of a
cash flow hedge, net of tax that are currently presented as a component of
shareholder’s equity. The Company’s total comprehensive (loss) income was

From time
to time, the Company has managed its currency exposure related to the net assets
of Modine’s European subsidiaries through euro-denominated borrowings entered
into by the parent. During fiscal 2008, the Company recorded an adjustment to
accumulated other comprehensive income of $5,626 to properly reflect the income
tax ramifications of net losses related to the foreign-currency-denominated debt
recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment over the past several fiscal
years. This adjustment was made during fiscal 2008 as it was deemed immaterial
to the Company’s financial position for the current period and all previously
reported periods. This adjustment had no impact on the Company’s net (loss)
earnings for the current period or any period previously reported.
Note
24: Stock purchase, option and award plans
Stock option and award plans:
Effective April 1, 2006, in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based
Payments,” Modine began to record compensation expense under the
“fair-value-based” method of accounting for stock options and restricted awards
granted to employees and directors. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R),
the Company recorded compensation expense for restricted awards under the
“intrinsic-value-based” method but was not required to record any compensation
expense for stock options under the “intrinsic-value-based” method as the grant
price of the stock options was equal to the market value of the underlying
common stock on the grant date.
The
effect of this change, from the “intrinsic-value-based method” previously used
by the Company to the “fair-value-based” method, on the results for the year
ended March 31, 2007 are as follows:

The
Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the “modified prospective method” and, as
a result, financial results for periods prior to fiscal 2007 were not restated
for this accounting change. The modified prospective method requires
compensation cost to be recognized beginning on the effective date for (a) all
new share-based awards granted after the effective date and to previously issued
awards that are modified, repurchased or cancelled after that date and for (b)
outstanding share-based awards on the effective date that are unvested because
the requisite service period has not been completed. Compensation cost recorded
on the unvested awards is based on the grant-date fair value determined under
SFAS No. 123 and previously reported in the Company’s pro forma footnote
disclosures. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized using the
straight-line attribution method and remains unchanged from the method used in
prior years except for the requirement under SFAS No. 123(R) to estimate
forfeitures rather than record them as they occur. The majority of this expense
is reflected in corporate as administrative expense, and has not been allocated
to various segments.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In
thousands, except per share amounts)
Prior to
the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company presented all tax benefits of
deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows
in the consolidated statement of cash flows. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the cash
flow resulting from the tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost
recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing
cash flows. The excess tax benefits realized for the tax deductions from option
exercises and stock award vesting for the year ended March 31, 2007 was $382.
During fiscal 2008, $124 of this amount was reversed as it was ultimately not
realizable given the current U.S. tax loss situation. As of March 31, 2008, $723
of carryforwards related to windfall tax benefits are available to be recorded
in additional paid-in capital when realized.
Prior to
fiscal 2007, stock-based compensation was recognized by the Company using the
intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board
Opinion (APB) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly,
compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the
quoted market price of Modine stock at the date of the grant over the amount an
employee must pay to acquire the stock. Compensation cost for restricted stock
awards is recognized as an expense over the vesting period of the award. If the
fair-value-based method of accounting for the stock option grants for the
periods shown had been applied in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation -
Transition and Disclosure", requiring SFAS No. 123 pro forma disclosure,
Modine's net earnings and net earnings per share would have been reduced, as
summarized in the following table:

The
Company’s long-term stock-based incentive plans for employees consist of the
following: (1) a discretionary stock option program for top managers and other
key employees, and (2) a long-term incentive compensation program for officers
and key executives that consists of a stock option component (20 percent),
retention restricted stock component (20 percent) and a performance stock
component (60 percent). The performance component of the long-term incentive
compensation program consists of an earnings per share measure (weighted at 60
percent) based on a cumulative three year period and a total shareholder return
measure (weighted at 40 percent) compared to the performance of the S&P 500
(stock price change and dividends) over the same three year period. A new
performance period begins each fiscal year so multiple performance periods, with
separate goals, operate simultaneously. Stock options granted under each program
have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the
date of grant. For fiscal 2008, long-term incentive program participants, and
discretionary stock option program participants received option grants that are
immediately exercisable after one year of service with the Company.
Discretionary stock option program participants receiving option grants over 0.5
shares, vested 25% upon grant, and 25% annually
thereafter for the next three years. Prior to fiscal 2008, all options granted
vest immediately upon completion of one year of service with the Company.
Retention restricted stock awards are granted at fair market value and
vest annually over a period of four to five years depending upon the year of
grant. The stock granted under the performance component, once earned, is fully
vested and will be distributed immediately.

In
addition to the long-term stock-based incentive plans for employees, stock
options and stock awards may be granted to non-employee directors. The Board or
the Officer Nomination and Compensation Committee, as applicable, has the broad
discretionary authority to set the terms of the awards of stock under the plan.
Stock options expire no later than 10 years after the grant date and have an
exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of
the grant. Unrestricted stock awards granted vest immediately.
The
fulfillment of equity based grants is currently being accomplished through the
issuance of new common shares. Shares repurchased through the share repurchase
programs have been returned to the status of authorized but un-issued shares.
The Company currently anticipates that it will not be repurchasing shares under
the anti-dilution portion of its repurchase program in fiscal 2009. Under the
Company’s 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan and the Amended and Restated 2000
Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Directors, 457 shares and 221 shares,
respectively, are available for the granting of additional options and
awards.
Stock Options: All
outstanding stock options granted under the plans described above were vested on
April 1, 2006, the date of adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), except for employees who
had not completed one year of service. The fair value of the option awards is
estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model
with the following assumptions:

The
risk-free interest rate was based on yields of U.S. zero-coupon issues with a
term equal to the expected life of the option for the week the options were
granted. The expected volatility assumption was derived by referring to changes
in the Company’s historical common stock prices over the same time frame as the
expected life of the awards. The expected dividend yield of the stock is based
on the Company’s historical dividend yield. The expected lives of the awards are
based on historical patterns and the terms of the options. For fiscal 2008, the
majority of the options awarded vested at grant, except for employees which had
not completed one year of service which comprised a small portion of the overall
grants. The remaining portion of the options granted in fiscal 2008 vested 25%
at grant date and 25% annually thereafter for the next three years. Overall, a
weighted pre-vesting forfeiture rate of zero was used for fiscal 2008. For
fiscal 2007 and 2006, all options were vested at grant except for employees
which had not completed one year of service. No options were awarded with graded
vesting features in these years. An estimated pre-vesting forfeiture rate of
zero was used for these periods as historical experience has indicated that
employees seldom leave before completing the required service period.
Compensation
expense recorded in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 related to stock options were
$1,065 and $1,885 respectively, which included stock options granted in fiscal
2008 and fiscal 2007 and stock options that were outstanding and unvested at the
April 2006 adoption date of SFAS No. 123(R) because the requisite one-year
service period had not been completed. No compensation expense was recorded in
fiscal 2006 when the Company utilized the intrinsic value method to record stock
options granted. The total fair value of stock options vesting during the year
ended March 31, 2008 was $1,249. As of March 31, 2008, the total compensation
expense not yet recognized related to non-vested stock options was $114 and the
weighted average period in which the remaining expense is expected to be
recognized is approximately 28 months.

The
aggregate intrinsic value in the preceding table represents the pre-tax
difference between the closing price of Modine common shares on the last trading
day of fiscal 2008 over the exercise price of the stock option, multiplied by
the number of options outstanding or exercisable. The aggregate intrinsic value
shown is not recorded for financial statement purposes under SFAS No. 123(R) and
the value will change based upon daily changes in the fair value of Modine’s

At March
31, 2008, Modine had approximately $4,144 of total unrecognized compensation
cost related to non-vested restricted stock. The cost is expected to be
recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years. The amounts charged to
operations using straight-line amortization in fiscal 2008, fiscal 2007 and
fiscal 2006 were $4,678, $3,555, and $3,905, respectively. Under the Company’s
restricted award provisions, employees of foreign subsidiaries may elect to
receive cash in lieu of stock for awards which vest immediately. In fiscal 2008,
$30 of cash elections were made and recorded directly to compensation
expense.
As
required by SFAS No. 123(R), management has made an estimate (based upon
historical rates) of expected forfeitures and is recognizing compensation costs
for those restricted shares expected to vest. A cumulative adjustment (net of
income taxes) of $70 was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, reducing
the compensation expense recognized on non-vested restricted
shares.
Restricted Stock – Performance Based
Shares: In fiscal 2006, the ONC changed the performance portion of the
restricted stock award program lengthening the time horizon to a three-year
period and establishing two performance measures - an earnings per share (EPS)
measure and a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) measure. Awards are earned based on
the attainment of corporate financial goals over a three-year period and are
paid at the end of that three-year performance period if the performance targets
have been achieved. A new performance period begins each fiscal year so multiple
performance periods, with separate goals, operate simultaneously. Based upon
current projections of probable attainment of the EPS portions of the
performance award, $458 was recorded in expense relative to the fiscal 2008
grant. No expense was recorded relative to the 2007 and 2006 EPS portions of the
performance awards based upon the current assessment of probable attainment. For
the years ended March 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, Modine recorded $1,740, $1,218,
and $402, respectively, in compensation expense resulting from the TSR portion
of the performance award. Based upon performance calculations
performed by management through March 31, 2008, no shares would be issued under
the TSR portion of the performance goals. If the TSR portion of the performance
goals is not achieved at the end of each three year period, compensation expense
recorded will not be reversed because awards with a market condition are
recognized provided the requisite service period is fulfilled by the employees.
The fair value of the TSR portions of the award granted in fiscal 2008 and 2007
were estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. In fiscal 2006, the
compensation expense recorded was based upon variable accounting under APB No.
25. Because the fiscal 2006 performance shares were unvested on the adoption
date of SFAS No. 123(R), the Monte Carlo method was used to determine the fair
value for recording compensation expense in fiscal 2008 and 2007. The following
table sets forth assumptions used to determine the fair value for each
performance award:

Note
25: Segment and geographic information
Modine’s
product lines consist of heat-transfer components and systems. Modine serves the
vehicular; industrial; building heating, ventilating and air conditioning; and
fuel cell original-equipment markets. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008,
the Company implemented certain management reporting changes which resulted in
the following changes in Modine’s reportable segments:
|
·
|
The
Brazilian operation was reported in the newly established South America
segment;
|
|
·
|
The
Original Equipment – Americas segment was renamed Original Equipment –
North America;
|
|
·
|
Certain
support departments previously included within Corporate and
administrative were realigned into the Original Equipment – North America
segment;
|
|
·
|
The
Commercial HVAC&R segment name was changed to Commercial Products;
and
|
|
·
|
The
Electronics Cooling business, previously reported in the Other segment,
was presented as a discontinued operation. Therefore, the only
remaining operation within the Other segment is the Fuel Cell business,
which is now reported as a separate
segment.
|
In
conjunction with the above changes, the previously reported segment results have
been restated for comparative purposes. Based on the above changes, the Company
has six reportable segments, as follows:
Original
Equipment – Asia
Comprised
of vehicular and industrial original equipment products in Asia.
Original
Equipment – Europe
Comprised
of vehicular and industrial original equipment products in Europe.
Original
Equipment – North America
Comprised
of vehicular and industrial original equipment products in North
America.
South
America
Comprised
of vehicular and industrial original equipment products and aftermarket products
in South America.
Commercial
Products
Comprised
of building heating, ventilating and air conditioning products throughout the
world.
Fuel
Cell
Comprised
of global fuel cell products.
Each
Modine segment is managed at the regional vice-president or managing director
level and has separate financial results reviewed by the Company’s chief
operating decision makers. These results are used by management in evaluating
the performance of each business segment, and in making decisions on the
allocation of resources among the Company’s various businesses. The segment
results include certain allocations of Corporate selling, general and
administrative expenses, and the significant accounting policies of the segments
are the same as those of Modine as a whole. In addition, the segment data is
presented on a continuing operations basis, except where noted.

Inter-segment
sales are accounted for based on an established markup over production costs.
Sales eliminations represent the elimination of inter-segment sales. Operating
loss for corporate and administrative includes certain research and development
costs, legal, finance and other general corporate expenses. It also includes a
percentage of the central services costs not directly attributable to a
reportable segment. Other items not allocated to segments primarily include
interest expense, interest income, transaction gains/losses and equity in the
earnings of affiliates.

affiliates, intangibles and significant long-lived assets. Eliminations consist
primarily of trade and other receivables and property, plant and
equipment. In fiscal
2008, the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar increased the value
of assets reported in the Original Equipment – Europe segment, from the year
before, by approximately 15 percent. Additionally, the value of the Brazil real
strengthened and increased the value of assets reported in the South America
segment by approximately 25 percent against the U.S. dollar.

Note
26: 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 automotive, truck, heavy equipment
and commercial heating and air conditioning markets. A sustained economic
downturn in any of these markets could have a material adverse effect on the
future results of operations or the Company’s liquidity.
Environmental: At
present, the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has designated the Company
as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for remediation of two sites with which
the Company had involvement. These sites include Alburn Incinerator, Inc./Lake
Calumet Cluster (Illinois), and a scrap metal site Chemetco (Illinois). 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 include recovery of past governmental
costs and for future investigations and remedial actions. Costs anticipated for
the settlement of these currently active sites cannot be reasonably defined at
this time and have not been accrued. The costs to Modine, however, are not
expected to be material at those sites based upon Modine’s relatively small
portion of contributed materials.
In 1986,
Modine executed a Consent Decree involving other PRPs and the Illinois EPA and
paid a nominal amount for its allocated share (0.1 percent) of the Alburn
Incinerator, Inc. remediation costs. The USEPA signed a Covenant Not to Sue in
conjunction with the Consent Decree, but reserved its right to "seek additional
relief" for any additional costs incurred by the United States at the site. In
2003, Modine received a Notice from the USEPA requesting Modine's participation
as a PRP for the performance of additional activities required to restore the
Alburn Incinerator Inc. /Lake Calumet Cluster site. Modine signed various PRP
participation agreements in 2003 and 2004 to satisfy these obligations. In 2005,
the USEPA accepted the PRP Group's Good Faith Offer demonstrating the Group's
qualifications and willingness to negotiate with the USEPA to conduct or finance
the Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study at the site. Since that time,
the USEPA and the Illinois EPA have elected to pursue physical site remediation
activities independently of the PRP group involvement. The USEPA will pursue
cost recovery from the PRPs for these activities upon their completion. Modine
expects future closure of the site through the execution of a settlement
agreement and payment of allocated costs in a de minimis amount.
Modine
received a request for information from the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency (IEPA) in February 2008 concerning the Company’s involvement with a
former scrap recycling site known as Chemetco in Madison County, IL. The IEPA is
investigating the release or threat of release of hazardous substances at the
site and is seeking information relating to the types of materials sent to the
site, the nature and extent of hazardous substances released at the site, and
information relating to the ability of contributing parties to pay for or
perform site remediation. Modine responded to IEPA’s request in March indicating
that it sent no hazardous or other waste materials to the site for disposal, and
that it did ship scrap metals to the site for recycling from 1997 to 2001. At
current, it cannot be reasonably stated what, if any, financial liability Modine
may have for any investigations or remedial activities at Chemetco. Any costs
which may be attributable to Modine are not expected to be
material.
MODINE
MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In
thousands, except per share amounts)
The
Company has also recorded other environmental cleanup and remediation expense
accruals for certain facilities located in the United States, Brazil, and The
Netherlands. These expenditures 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.
Personal injury actions: The
Company, along with Rohm and Haas Company and Morton International, was named as
a defendant in twenty-three separate personal injury actions that were filed in
the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas (“PCCP”), including one case filed at the
end of the third quarter of fiscal 2008, and in a class action matter filed in
the United States District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The PCCP
cases involve allegations of personal injury from exposure to solvents that were
allegedly released to groundwater and air for an undetermined period of time.
The federal court action seeks damages for medical monitoring and property value
diminution for a class of residents of a community that are allegedly at risk
for personal injuries as a result of exposure to this same allegedly
contaminated groundwater and air. Plaintiffs' counsel had threatened to file
further personal injury cases. The Company mediated these cases in December,
2007 and has executed agreements with Plaintiffs’ counsel settling the PCCP
cases and the class action. The Company has been dismissed from the PCCP cases
with prejudice and the federal case is pending a final fairness hearing in late
June at which time it is expected that the Company will also be dismissed with
prejudice from that case at the conclusion of the final hearing. No additional
charges are anticipated to be incurred related to this matter.
The
Company’s general liability insurers participated in the above-referenced
mediation. The Company has obtained agreements from three of those insurers as
to appropriate coverage of defense costs and potential liability payments.
Travelers Indemnity Company (“Travelers”), filed a declaratory judgment action
against the Company and the two other insurers, Sentry Insurance, a Mutual
Company, and American Motorists Insurance Company, in the Superior Court of
Connecticut, Hartford, Connecticut on December 21, 2007. The Company filed a
countervailing action against Travelers in Wisconsin Circuit Court, Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, on January 8, 2008. Both actions were dismissed without prejudice in
the fourth quarter upon reaching an agreement with Travelers.
Other litigation: In June
2004, the Servicio de Administracion Tributaria in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, where
the Company operates a plant in its Commercial Products segment, notified the
Company of a tax assessment based primarily on the administrative authority’s
belief that the Company (i) imported goods not covered by the Maquila program
and (ii) that it imported goods under a different tariff classification than the
ones approved. The Company filed a Nullity Tax Action with the Federal Tax Court
(Tribunal Federal de Justicia Fiscal y Adminstrativa) in Monterrey, Mexico, and
received a favorable ruling from the Federal Tax Court in the second quarter of
fiscal 2008. The ruling of the Federal Tax Court has been appealed by the
Servicio de Administracion Tributaria. Ultimate resolution of this matter is not
expected to have a material adverse impact on the results of operations or
financial position.
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, the Environmental
Protection Agency, other governmental agencies and others in which claims, such
as personal injury, property damage, intellectual property or antitrust and
trade regulation issues, are asserted against Modine.
If a loss
arising from environmental and other litigation matters is probable and can
reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the estimated loss,
or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range, and
no point within the range is more likely than another. The undiscounted reserves
for these matters totaled $4,332, $1,397 and $1,284 at March 31, 2008, 2007 and
2006, respectively. The Company recorded charges of $4,616 and $268, net of
insurance recoveries, for the year ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively,
in the statements of operations related to these matters. Many of these
matters are covered by various insurance policies; however, the Company does not
record any insurance recoveries until these 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. If an
unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material
adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome
occurs.
Employee agreements: The
Company has employment agreements with certain key employees that provide for
compensation and certain other benefits. The agreements also provide for other
terms and conditions of employment including termination payments under certain
specific circumstances such as a material change in control. In the unlikely
event that these agreements were all triggered simultaneously, the possible
contingent payments, which would be required under the employment contracts, are
estimated to be between $5,682 and $11,812 depending on incentive payment
calculations and other factors which are not determinable until the actual event
occurs.

Note
27: Subsequent events
On May 1,
2008, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of its Electronics
Cooling subsidiary business for $13,250, $2,500 of which is in the form of
seller financing with subordinated, promissory notes delivered by the buyer,
with the remaining sales proceeds of $10,750 received in cash. This asset sale
will result in a gain which will be recorded in the first quarter of fiscal
2009. See Note 14 for further discussion.
Note
28: Quarterly financial data (unaudited)
During
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded adjustments of $2,104
within the Original Equipment – Europe segment for the correction of errors that
related to prior quarters and annual periods. These corrections consisted of
$1,390 related to an understatement of accounts payable and $714 related to the
understatement of a value added tax liability. These adjustments were made in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 as they were deemed immaterial to previously
issued financial statements and full year fiscal 2008 results.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board
of Directors of Modine Manufacturing Company:
In our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing
under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Modine Manufacturing Company and its subsidiaries at March 31, 2008
and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended March 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition,
in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing
under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information
set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated
financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in
all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
March 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO) because a material weakness in internal control over
financial reporting related to the controls over the completeness and accuracy
of reconciliations of certain balance sheet accounts in the Original Equipment -
Europe segment existed as of that date. A material weakness is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness referred to above is
described in Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
appearing under Item 9A. We considered this material weakness in
determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit
of the 2008 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding
the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements. The
Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and the
financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting included in management's report referred to
above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial
statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company's internal
control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting
included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and
evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on
the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
As
discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed the manner in which it accounts for uncertain tax positions in
2008. As discussed in Note 4 the Company changed the manner in which it
accounts for defined benefit pension and postretirement plans in 2007. As
discussed in Note 24, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for
share-based compensation.
A
company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control
over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of
the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and
expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that
could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Not

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND
PROCEDURES.
Conclusion
Regarding Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the
end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, 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 Executive
Vice President – Corporate Strategy and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), with the participation of the
Company's management. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief
Executive Officer and Executive Vice President – Corporate Strategy and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of March 31, 2008 due to
the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described
below. Notwithstanding this material weakness, our management, including our
President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President – Corporate
Strategy and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that our consolidated
financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K are fairly presented in all material respects in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(GAAP) for each of the periods presented herein.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The
management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining
adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The
Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management,
with the participation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer
and Executive Vice President – Corporate Strategy and Chief Financial Officer,
assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting as of March 31, 2008. The assessment was based on criteria set forth
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in
“Internal Control—Integrated Framework.” Based on this
assessment and the above referenced criteria, management concluded that, as of
March 31, 2008, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not
effective.
A
material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, 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 will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection
with the assessment described above, management identified a material weakness
in its internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008 due to
ineffective controls over reconciliations within the Original Equipment – Europe
segment, affecting accounts receivable, accounts payable and value added tax
liability. Specifically, controls were not operating effectively to ensure that
account reconciliations were completely and accurately prepared and reviewed and
there was a lack of sufficient oversight or review of trial balances at the
plant level. This
control deficiency resulted in adjustments of our accounts receivable, accounts
payable and value added tax liability in the Company’s consolidated financial
statements for the year ended March 31, 2008. Additionally, this control
deficiency could result in misstatements of the aforementioned accounts that
would result in a material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements
that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, our management has
determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material
weakness.
The
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of
March 31, 2008 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent
registered public accounting firm, as stated in its report which appears
herein.
Plan
for Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial
Reporting
The
Company is developing and implementing remediation plans to address this
material weakness. Specific remedial steps that will be taken for the control
deficiencies that comprise the material weakness described above are as
follows:
|
1.
|
A
standardized workplan for the financial accounting group in Europe will be
established which identifies required actions to be performed (i.e.
account reconciliations, trial balance reviews), the frequency which these
actions will be completed and who will be required to perform these
actions.
|
|
2.
|
Appropriate
monitoring procedures will be established at the Europe consolidated level
over the plants and at the Corporate consolidated level to ensure
compliance with the standardized
workplan.
|
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the
quarter ended March 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting.
The
certifications of our President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice
President – Corporate Strategy and Chief Financial Officer included as Exhibits
31.1 and 31.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K include, in paragraph 4 of such
