Note
1: Overview
The
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United
States and such principles were applied on a basis consistent with the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements of Modine Manufacturing
Company (Modine or the Company) for the year ended March 31, 2009 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s current report on Form 8-K
dated September 15, 2009. The financial statements include all normal
recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a
fair statement of results for the interim periods. Results for the
first nine months of fiscal 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year.
The March
31, 2009 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial
statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In
addition, certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted
from these interim financial statements. Therefore, such statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related notes for the year ended March 31, 2009 contained in Modine's current
report on Form 8-K dated September 15, 2009.
Earnings from continuing
operations: During
the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company reported earnings from
continuing operations of $2,125 which represents a significant improvement from
the loss from continuing operations of $56,511 reported for the three months
ended December 31, 2008. The significant improvement in gross margin
is the result of the reduction in direct and indirect costs in the manufacturing
facilities through cost reduction actions taken during fiscal
2009. Restructuring charges of $25,311 were recorded in the third
quarter of fiscal 2009 primarily related to a workforce reduction affecting 25
percent of the workforce in the Company’s Racine, Wisconsin headquarters and a
planned workforce reduction through the European facilities, including the
European headquarters in Bonlanden, Germany. In addition, impairment
charges of $27,342 were recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 which
consisted of a goodwill impairment charge of $9,005 and long-lived asset
impairment charge of $18,337 for certain manufacturing facilities with projected
cash flows unable to support their asset bases, for assets related to a
cancelled program and a program which was not able to support its asset
base.
Liquidity: The
Company’s debt agreements require it to maintain compliance with various
covenants. The most restrictive limitation in fiscal 2010 is a
minimum adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA) covenant. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as the Company’s
earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense and provision
for income taxes, adjusted to exclude unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary
non-cash charges and up to $34,000 of cash restructuring and repositioning
charges, and further adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization
expense.
The
following presents the minimum adjusted EBITDA level requirements with which the
Company is required to comply through the fourth quarter of fiscal
2010:
For
the four consecutive quarters ended December 31, 2009
|
$ | 1,750 | ||
For
the four consecutive quarters ending March 31, 2010
|
35,000 |
The
Company’s financial results exceeded the minimum adjusted EBITDA requirement by
approximately $65,000 for the four consecutive quarters ended December 31,
2009. The Company expects to remain in compliance with this covenant
throughout the remainder of fiscal 2010 based on the adjusted EBITDA recorded
during the first three quarters of fiscal 2010 and the projected financial
results for the remainder of fiscal 2010.

MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In

(unaudited)
In
addition to the minimum adjusted EBITDA covenant, the Company is not permitted
to incur capital expenditures greater than $70,000 for fiscal year 2010 and for
all fiscal years thereafter under the terms of the agreements. The
Company expects to remain in compliance with this covenant in fiscal 2010 and
beyond.
On
September 30, 2009, the Company completed a public offering of 13,800 shares of
its common stock, which included 1,800 shares issued pursuant to a fully
exercised underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a price of
$7.15 per share. The proceeds of the common stock offering were
$93,025 after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, legal, accounting
and printing fees of $5,645.
On
December 23, 2009, the Company sold 100 percent of the shares of its South
Korea-based heating, ventilating and air conditioning business for net cash
proceeds of $11,249. The proceeds from these events were used to
reduce outstanding indebtedness and contributed to a $117,514 reduction of
indebtedness since March 31, 2009.
Beginning
with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company becomes subject to an
adjusted EBITDA to interest expense ratio (interest expense coverage ratio)
covenant and a debt to adjusted EBITDA (leverage ratio) covenant as
follows:
Interest Expense Coverage Ratio Covenant (Not
Permitted to Be Less Than):

The
Company expects to remain in compliance with the interest expense coverage ratio
covenant and leverage ratio covenant in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and
through the term of the revolving credit facility based on the adjusted EBITDA
recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2010, the projected financial
results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and the significant reduction in
the debt balance.
The
Company believes that its internally generated operating cash flows and existing
cash balances, together with access to available external borrowings, will be
sufficient to satisfy future operating costs, capital expenditures and
restructuring costs incurred under the four-point plan. The elements
of the four-point plan are discussed in Note 20.
Note
2: Significant Accounting Policies
Restricted
cash: At December 31, 2009, the Company had long-term
restricted cash of $7,786 included in other noncurrent assets. This
amount primarily collateralizes unrealized losses on commodity derivatives with
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the counterparty.
Accounting standards changes and new
accounting pronouncements: In December 2007, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued updated guidance on business
combinations which retained the underlying concepts that all business
combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair value under the
acquisition method of accounting, but 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 transaction
and restructuring costs will be expensed rather than treated as an acquisition
cost and included in the amount recorded for assets acquired. Additionally, this
new guidance amended the goodwill disclosure requirements to require a
roll-forward of the gross amount of goodwill and accumulated impairment
losses. This new guidance 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. The
segments for which the Company currently has goodwill have not had any
historical impairment charges. This guidance also amends 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 the new guidance would also apply the provisions
of that guidance. Early adoption was not allowed. The
adoption of this standard did not have an impact on previous
acquisitions.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on consolidations which
established new standards that will govern the accounting for and reporting of
(1) non-controlling interests 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 non-controlling 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. This new guidance was 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 was not allowed. The
adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
In April
2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which requires the disclosure
about fair value of financial instruments in interim reporting periods of
publicly traded companies similar to the disclosures that were previously only
required in annual financial statements. The provisions of this new
guidance were effective April 1, 2009 and amend only the disclosure requirements
about fair value of financial instruments in interim
periods. Therefore, the adoption of this guidance had no impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May
2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on subsequent events which
addresses the types and timing of events that should be reported in the
financial statements for events occurring between the balance sheet date and the
date the financial statements are issued or available to be
issued. This guidance was effective for the Company on June 30,
2009. The Company reviewed events for inclusion in the financial
statements through February 8, 2010, the date that the accompanying financial
statements were issued. The adoption of this guidance did not impact
the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In August
2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update on fair value
measurements and disclosures that applies to the fair value measurement of
liabilities. This update provides clarification that in circumstances
in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not
available, companies are required to measure the fair value of the liability
using one or both of the following techniques: (i) the quoted price
of an identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar
liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another
valuation technique (e.g., a market approach or income approach) including a
technique based on the amount an entity would pay to transfer the identical
liability, or a technique based on the amount an entity would receive to enter
into an identical liability. This update was effective for the
Company during the third quarter of fiscal 2010, and had no impact on the
consolidated financial statements.

3: Employee Benefit Plans
During
the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded
compensation expense (income) of $702 and $(194), respectively, related to its
defined contribution employee benefit plans. During the nine months
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded compensation expense of
$2,764 and $3,303, respectively, related to its defined contribution employee
benefit plans.
In
September 2008, the Company announced that effective January 1, 2009, the Modine
Manufacturing Company Group Insurance Plan – Retiree Medical Plan was being
modified to eliminate coverage for retired participants who are Medicare
eligible. This plan amendment resulted in a $14,283 reduction of the
post-retirement benefit obligation, which has been reflected as a component of
other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes of $5,305, and will be
amortized to earnings over the future service life of active

4: Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based
compensation consists of stock options and restricted stock granted for
retention and performance. Compensation cost is calculated based on the fair
value of the instrument at the time of grant, and is recognized as expense over
the vesting period of the stock-based instrument. Modine recognized
stock-based compensation cost of $191 and $472 for the three months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Modine recognized
stock-based compensation cost of $2,336 and $3,266 for the nine months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The performance component
of the long-term incentive plan includes earnings per share and total
shareholder return measures based upon a cumulative three year
period. Based upon management’s assessment of probable attainment,
$458 of compensation expense was reversed relative to the earnings per share
component of the fiscal 2008 plan in the first quarter of fiscal
2009.

Note
6: Income Taxes
For the
three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s effective income
tax rate attributable to earnings (loss) from continuing operations before
income taxes was 10.1 percent and -11.4 percent, respectively. During
the three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company continued to record an
increase in the valuation allowance of $3,775 predominantly against net U.S.
deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that these assets will not be
realized based on historical performance. During the three months
ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded an $8,514 valuation allowance
primarily related to its net U.S. deferred tax assets.
For the
nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s effective income tax
rate attributable to loss from continuing operations before income taxes was
33.8 percent and -4.1 percent, respectively. During the nine months
ended December 31, 2009, the Company continued to record an increase in the
valuation allowance of $6,177 predominantly against net U.S. deferred tax assets
as it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized based on
historical performance. During the nine months ended December 31,
2008, the Company recorded a $17,835 valuation allowance primarily related to
its net U.S. deferred tax assets.
Certain
of the Company’s foreign operations generated earnings from continuing
operations before income taxes during the three and nine months ended December
31, 2009, which resulted in a foreign income tax provision within these tax
jurisdictions. The foreign income tax provision more than offsets the
income tax benefit recognized on the domestic loss from continuing operations
before income taxes, which resulted in a consolidated provision for income taxes
despite the consolidated loss from continuing operations before income taxes for
the nine months ended December 31, 2009. The changing mix of foreign
earnings and domestic losses, combined with year-over-year changes in the
valuation allowance, are the most significant factors impacting changes in the
effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009 and
2008.
The
Company allocates income tax expense between continuing operations, and all
other financial statement components by tax jurisdiction. In the
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 tax benefit recorded in continuing
operations. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009,
the Company allocated income tax expense to the gain component in other
comprehensive income with an offsetting tax benefit in continuing
operations.

Accounting
policies for interim reporting require the Company to adjust its effective tax
rate each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax
rate. Under this effective tax rate methodology, the Company applies
an estimated annual income tax rate to its year-to-date ordinary earnings to
derive its income tax provision each quarter. The tax impact of
certain significant, unusual or infrequently occurring items must be recorded in
the interim period in which they occur. The impact of the Company’s
operations in the U.S., Germany, Italy and certain other foreign locations
should be removed from the overall effective tax rate
methodology and recorded discretely based upon year-to-date results as these
operations anticipate net operating losses for the year for which no tax benefit
can be recognized. The income taxes for the Company’s other foreign
operations continue to be estimated under the overall effective tax rate
methodology.

The
Company files income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and is subject to
examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. During the
three months ended December 31, 2009, the Company was not engaged in any routine
income tax examinations by any federal taxing authority. As of the
third quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company continues to be in the early stages of
a state income tax examination. There was a decrease in unrecognized tax
benefits of $854 during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 due to a lapse in the
applicable statute of limitations. The Company does not expect any
significant increase or decrease in the total amount of unrecognized tax
benefits within the next twelve months other than that which will result from
the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.
As
further discussed in Note 12, the South Korean business, retained aftermarket
environmental liability in the Netherlands and the Electronics Cooling business
are presented as discontinued operations in the comparative consolidated
financial statements. The loss from discontinued operations has been
presented net of income tax expense of $445 and $99 for the three months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $538 and $670 for the nine months
ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the three and
nine months ended December 31, 2009, the loss on sale of discontinued operations
for the South Korean business has been presented net of income tax (benefit)
expense of $0. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008,
the gain on sale of discontinued operations for the Electronics Cooling business
has been presented net of income tax (benefit) expense of $(369) and $400,
respectively.
Note
7: Earnings Per Share
Effective
April 1, 2009, the Company adopted new guidance issued by the FASB that requires
unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to
dividends (whether paid or unpaid) to be treated as participating securities and
included in the computation of basic earnings per share. The new
guidance requires retrospective application; accordingly, prior periods have
been retrospectively adjusted. Because the Company’s unvested
restricted share awards do not contractually participate in its losses, the
Company has not allocated such losses to the unvested restricted share awards in
computing basic earnings per share, using the two-class method, for fiscal
2009. The adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company’s
basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended
December 31, 2008.

11: Restructuring, Plant Closures and Other Related Costs
During
fiscal 2008, the Company announced the closure of three U.S. manufacturing
plants in Camdenton, Missouri; Pemberville, Ohio; and Logansport, Indiana, along
with the Tübingen, Germany facility. These measures are aimed at
realigning the Company’s manufacturing operations, improving profitability and
strengthening global competitiveness. The Tübingen, Germany facility
closure was completed at the end of the third quarter of fiscal
2010. The Pemberville, Ohio closure is anticipated to be completed by
the end of fiscal 2010 and the Logansport, Indiana closure is anticipated to be
completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Camdenton, Missouri closure
is anticipated to be completed by the end of fiscal 2012.
During
fiscal 2009, the Company completed workforce reductions across all business
segments. The completed workforce reductions included approximately a
25 percent reduction of the workforce in the Company’s Racine, Wisconsin
headquarters and a significant reduction throughout its European facilities
including its European headquarters in Bonlanden, Germany.
On
October 22, 2009, the Company announced the closure of its Harrodsburg, Kentucky
manufacturing facility. This closure is anticipated to be completed
in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
Since the
commencement of these plant closures and workforce reductions, the Company has
incurred $33,420 of termination charges, $1,863 of pension curtailment charges
and $15,120 of other closure costs in the aggregate. The Company also
anticipates that it will incur the following additional costs through fiscal
2012 as a result of these closures: $600 of employee-related costs and $4,500 of
other costs such as equipment moving costs, accelerated depreciation and
miscellaneous facility closing costs. In addition, the Company
anticipates that it will incur additional cash expenditures of approximately
$10,000 related to these closures.

12: Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
During fiscal 2009, the Company
announced the intended divestiture of the South Korea-based heating, ventilating
and air conditioning (HVAC) business. Based on the accounting for the
disposal of long-lived assets, it was determined during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2009 that the South Korean business should be presented as held for sale
and as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial
statements. The South Korean business was formerly presented as part
of the Original Equipment – Asia segment. The balance sheet amounts
relating to the South Korean business have been reclassified to assets held for
sale and liabilities of business held for sale on the consolidated balance
sheet, and the operating results have been separately presented as a
discontinued operation in the consolidated statement of operations for all
periods presented. On December 23, 2009, the Company sold 100 percent
of the shares of South Korea-based HVAC business for net cash proceeds of
$11,249. The Company recorded a loss on sale, net of taxes, of $430
for the three months ended December 31, 2009.
During
the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded
environmental cleanup and remediation expenses of $170 and $841, respectively,
as a component of loss from discontinued operations related to a facility in the
Netherlands that was sold as part of the spin off of the Company’s Aftermarket
business on July 22, 2005.
During
the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company sold substantially all of the
assets of its Electronics Cooling business for $13,149, $2,510 of which is in
the form of seller financing with subordinated, promissory notes delivered by
the buyer, with the remaining sales proceeds of $10,639 received in
cash. Transaction expenses of $437 were paid by the Company
during the first quarter of fiscal 2009. During the third quarter of fiscal
2009, the Company paid $101 based on the finalization of working capital
received by the purchaser. The Company recorded a gain on sale, net of income
taxes, of $369 and $2,066 for the three and nine months ended December 31,
2008.

14: Indebtedness
The
Company has $75,000, 10.0 percent Senior Notes issued in a private placement,
maturing on September 29, 2015 (“2015 Notes”), and $50,000, 10.75 percent Senior
Notes maturing on December 7, 2017 (“2017 Notes A”) and $25,000, 10.75 percent
Senior Notes maturing on December 7, 2017 issued in a second private placement
(“2017 Notes B”). The Company also has a $175,000 revolving credit
facility which is due to expire in July 2011. On May 15, 2009, Modine
Holding GmbH and Modine Europe GmbH, each a subsidiary of the Company, entered
into a Credit Facility Agreement with an available line of 15,000 euro ($21,475
U.S. equivalent) with Deutsche Bank AG. The credit facility is
available until May 14, 2010 and is secured by the assets of Modine Holding GmbH
and its subsidiaries. Under the terms of the credit agreement, the
availability under the domestic revolving credit facility was reduced by $15,000
to $160,000 upon the effective date of the Deutsche Bank AG credit
facility.
The
Company was required to prepay its outstanding revolving credit facility and
Senior Note borrowings with 50% of the net proceeds from the September 30, 2009
common stock offering, resulting in a mandatory prepayment of
$46,438. In conjunction with the mandatory prepayment of the Senior
Note borrowings, the Company was required to pay a prepayment penalty of $3,449
to the holders of the Senior Notes. The availability under the
revolving credit facility was reduced by $17,890 to $142,110 for the portion of
the mandatory prepayment that was applied to the outstanding revolving credit
facility. In addition to the mandatory prepayment, the Company
voluntarily repaid its outstanding revolving credit facility with the remaining
proceeds from the common stock offering.
At
December 31, 2009, the Company had $60,726 outstanding on the 2015 Notes,
$40,484 outstanding on the 2017 Notes A and $20,242 outstanding on the 2017
Notes B. There was $2,000 outstanding under the revolving credit
facility.
At
December 31, 2009, the Company had $136,142 available for future borrowings
under the revolving credit facility. In addition to this credit
facility, unused lines of credit also exist in Asia, Europe and Brazil, totaling
$38,761. In the aggregate, the Company had total available lines of
credit of $174,903 at December 31, 2009.
The
Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of December 31,
2009.
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 December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the carrying
value of Modine’s long-term debt approximated fair value, with the exception of
the Senior Notes, which have a fair value of approximately $128,872 and $124,418
at December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively.

15: Financial Instruments
Concentrations of Credit
Risk: The Company invests excess cash in investment quality short-term
liquid debt instruments. Such investments are made only in
instruments issued by high quality institutions. Financial instruments that
potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk
consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company sells a broad
range of products that provide thermal solutions to a diverse group of customers
operating throughout the world. At December 31, 2009 and March 31,
2009, approximately 43 percent of the Company's trade accounts receivables were
from the Company's top ten individual customers. These customers
operate primarily in the automotive, truck and heavy equipment markets and are
all influenced by many of the same market and general economic
factors. To reduce credit risk, the Company performs periodic
customer credit evaluations and actively monitors their financial condition and
developing business news. The Company does not generally require
collateral or advanced payments from its customers, but does so in those cases
where a substantial credit risk is identified. Credit losses to
customers operating in the markets served by the Company have not been
material. Total bad debt write-offs have been well below one percent
of outstanding trade receivable balances for the presented
periods. See Note 20 for further discussion on market, credit and
counterparty risks.
Inter-Company Loans Denominated in
Foreign Currencies: The Company has certain
foreign-denominated long-term inter-company loans that are sensitive to foreign
exchange rates. At December 31, 2009, Modine, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company, had an inter-company loan totaling $6,915 with its
wholly owned subsidiary, Modine do Brasil Sistemas Termicos Ltda. (Modine
Brazil), that matures on May 8, 2011. Modine Brazil paid $1,935 and
$7,985 on this inter-company loan during the three and nine months ended
December 31, 2009, respectively.
The
Company also has other inter-company loans outstanding at December 31, 2009 as
follows:
|
·
|
$11,892
loan to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal Systems Private
Limited (Modine India), that matures on April 30, 2013;
and
|
|
·
|
$12,000
between two loans to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal Systems
(Changzhou) Co. Ltd. (Changzhou, China), with various maturity dates
through June 2012.
|
These
inter-company loans are sensitive to movement in foreign exchange rates, and the
Company does not have any derivative instruments to hedge this
exposure.
Note
16: Foreign Exchange Contracts/Derivatives/Hedges
Modine
uses derivative financial instruments from time to time as a tool to manage
certain financial risks. Their use has been restricted primarily to
hedging assets and obligations already held by Modine, and they have been used
to protect cash flows rather than generate income or engage in speculative
activity. Leveraged derivatives are prohibited by Company
policy.
Accounting
for derivatives and hedging activities requires derivative financial instruments
to be measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities in the
consolidated balance sheets. Accounting for the gain or loss
resulting from the change in the fair value of the derivative financial
instruments depends on whether it has been designed, and is effective, as a
hedge and, if so, on the nature of the hedging activity.
Commodity
derivatives: The Company enters into futures contracts related
to certain of the Company’s forecasted purchases of aluminum and natural
gas. The Company’s strategy in entering into these contracts is to
reduce its exposure to changing purchase prices for future purchases of these
commodities. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges
by the Company. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses on these
contracts are deferred as a component of 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 the
nine months ended December 31, 2009, the Company did not enter into any new
futures contracts for commodities.

(unaudited)
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 December
31, 2009, the Company had no outstanding forward foreign exchange
contracts.
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 December 31, 2009, there were no outstanding
foreign-denominated borrowings on the parent company’s balance sheet to offset
this exposure.
Interest rate derivatives: 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. The
Company amortized $462 of the interest rate derivatives in proportion with the
mandatory prepayment of the Senior Notes on September 30, 2009.

Note 17: Fair Value
Measurements
Fair
value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:
|
·
|
Level
1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active
markets.
|
|
·
|
Level
2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices
for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and
model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant
value-drivers are observable in active
markets.
|
|
·
|
Level
3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or
significant value-drivers are
unobservable.
|
When
available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and
classifies such measurements within Level 1. In some cases, where
market prices are not available, the Company makes use of observable
market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are
classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are
not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use,
where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates, yield
curves, currency rates, etc. These measurements are classified within
Level 3.
Fair
value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or
value-driver that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may
therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant
inputs that are readily observable.
Trading
securities
The
Company’s trading securities are a mix of various investments maintained in a
deferred compensation trust to fund future obligations under Modine’s
non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The securities’ fair values
are the market values from active markets (such as the New York Stock Exchange
(NYSE)) and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation
hierarchy.
Derivative financial
instruments
As part
of the Company’s risk management strategy, Modine enters into derivative
transactions to mitigate certain identified exposures. The derivative
instruments include currency options and commodity derivatives. These
are not exchange traded and are customized over-the-counter derivative
transactions. These derivative exposures are with counterparties that
have long-term credit ratings of BBB- or better.
The
Company measures fair value assuming that the unit of account is an individual
derivative transaction and that derivatives are sold or transferred on a
stand-alone basis. Therefore, derivative assets and liabilities are
presented on a gross basis without consideration of master netting
arrangements. The Company estimates the fair value of these
derivative instruments based on dealer quotes as the dealer is willing to settle
at the quoted prices. These derivative instruments are classified
within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

18: Product Warranties 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.
Changes

20: 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. The
recent adverse events in the global financial and commercial markets have
created a significant downturn in the Company’s vehicular markets and, to a
lesser extent, in its commercial heating and air conditioning
markets. The current economic uncertainty makes it difficult to
predict future conditions in these markets. A sustained economic
downturn in any of these markets could have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s future results of operations or liquidity. The Company is
responding to these market conditions through its continued implementation of
its four-point plan as follows:

Environmental: At
present, the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has designated the Company
as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for remediation of five sites with
which the Company had involvement. These sites include: Alburn
Incinerator, Inc./Lake Calumet Cluster (Illinois), LWD, Inc. (Kentucky), Circle
Environmental of Dawson (two sites: Dawson, GA and Terrell County, GA), and a
scrap metal site known as 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 includes recovery of past
governmental costs and for future investigations and remedial actions. Costs
anticipated for the remedial settlement of these sites cannot be reasonably
defined at this time; however those costs are not believed to be material and
have not been accrued based upon the relatively small portion of materials
allegedly contributed by Modine. Modine is also voluntarily
participating in the upkeep of an inactive landfill owned by the City of Trenton
(Missouri).

(unaudited)
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 generally relate to facilities where
past operations followed practices and procedures that were considered
acceptable under then existing regulations, or where the Company is a successor
to the obligations of prior owners and current laws and regulations require
investigative and/or remedial work to ensure environmental
compliance.
Other
litigation: In the normal course of business, the Company and
its subsidiaries are named as defendants in various other lawsuits and
enforcement proceedings by private parties, the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, 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 $2,809 and $1,976 at December
31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively. Additional reserves of
$353 and $1,073 were recorded during the three and nine months ended December
31, 2009, respectively, of which $170 and $841 were recorded as a component of
loss from discontinued operations. No additional reserves were
recorded for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008. 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 of the period in which the outcome
occurs.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
When we
use the terms “Modine,” “we,” “us,” the “Company,” or “our” in this report,
unless the context otherwise requires, we are referring to Modine Manufacturing
Company. Our fiscal year ends on March 31 and, accordingly, all
references to quarters refer to our fiscal quarters. The quarter
ended December 31, 2009 is the third quarter of fiscal 2010.
Third Quarter
Overview: Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2010
declined from the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as a result of the weak global
economy. Significant reductions in direct and indirect costs in our
manufacturing facilities as a result of our manufacturing realignment activities
under our four-point plan resulted in a 420 basis point improvement in gross
margin from the third quarter of fiscal 2009 to the third quarter of fiscal
2010. This four-point plan includes manufacturing realignment, portfolio
rationalization, SG&A expense reduction and capital allocation
discipline. During the third quarter of fiscal 2010, we announced the
closure of our Harrodsburg, Kentucky facility, which reflects our continued
focus on realigning our manufacturing footprint to achieve greater efficiencies
in scale. We recognized income from continuing operations of $2.1
million for the third quarter of fiscal 2010, which represents an improvement of
$58.6 million from the loss from continuing operations of $56.5 million in the
third quarter of fiscal 2009 due to the favorable impact of recent cost
reduction activities. The third quarter of fiscal 2009 included
significant restructuring charges primarily for substantial workforce reductions
in North America and Europe as part of our cost reduction efforts. In
addition, goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges were recorded in the
third quarter of fiscal 2009 within our Original Equipment – Europe and Original
Equipment – North America segments.
On
December 23, 2009, we sold 100 percent of the shares of our South Korea-based
vehicular heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) business as a result
of our portfolio rationalization focus. We received net cash proceeds
of $11.2 million and recognized a loss on sale, net of taxes, of $0.4 million
for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The entire cash
proceeds were used to further reduce our indebtedness. Our reduced
capital spending and strong operating results during the quarter allowed us to
reduce our indebtedness to a total debt balance of $131.7 million at December
31, 2009 as compared to $249.2 million at March 31, 2009.
Year-To-Date
Overview: Net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2010
decreased 27.4 percent from the first nine months of fiscal 2009 driven by
overall sales volume declines as a result of the weak global economy
particularly within the automotive, medium/heavy duty truck and agriculture and
construction markets. Sales volumes decreased across most of the
segments of our business. In addition, the unfavorable impact of
foreign currency exchange rate changes contributed to approximately 4.5 percent
of this decline in sales. Gross margin improved 80 basis points from
the first nine months of fiscal 2009 to the first nine months of fiscal 2010 due
to the reduction in direct and indirect costs in the manufacturing facilities
due to cost reduction actions taken during fiscal 2009 and the impact of
favorable materials pricing. SG&A expenses for fiscal 2010
year-to-date decreased 27.1 percent from the same period in fiscal 2009
reflecting our intense focus on lowering our administrative cost structure and
executing on our portfolio rationalization strategy. Our loss from
continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2010 decreased $54.4
million from the first nine months of fiscal 2009 as a result of the reduction
in SG&A costs year over year and significant restructuring and asset
impairment charges recorded during the first nine months of fiscal
2009.
On
September 30, 2009, we completed a public offering of 13.8 million shares of our
common stock for proceeds of $93.0 million after deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions of $5.1 million and legal, accounting and printing
fees of $0.6 million. We initially used the proceeds to reduce our
outstanding indebtedness.

Net sales
improved 7.1 percent from the second quarter of fiscal 2010 to the third quarter
of fiscal 2010, which we believe provides a good indication of stabilization and
selective, modest improvements in the markets we serve. Gross margin
increased 80 basis points from the second quarter of fiscal 2010 to the third
quarter of fiscal 2010, which is primarily attributable to the higher
quarter-over-quarter sales volumes and a significant reduction in direct and
indirect costs in our manufacturing facilities as a result of actions taken
during fiscal 2009. SG&A expenses have been relatively consistent
throughout fiscal 2010 due to our intense focus on lowering our cost
structuring, which started in fiscal 2009. During the third quarter
of fiscal 2010, we recorded earnings from continuing operations before income
taxes of $2.4 million, which improved slightly from the second quarter of fiscal
2010 due to the favorable gross margin performance and decreased interest
costs. The second quarter of fiscal 2010 included a $3.4 million
prepayment penalty incurred in conjunction with the debt paydown from the
proceeds of our common stock offering. Adjusted earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) improved based on the
favorable impact of our cost reduction efforts and increase in sales
volumes. See Liquidity and Capital Resources in this item for further
discussion and the calculation of adjusted EBITDA.

Comparison
of Three Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
Third
quarter net sales of $302.4 million were 7.1 percent lower than the $325.6
million reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The decrease in
revenues was driven by overall sales volume declines as a result of the weak
global economy partially offset by $22.2 million of favorable foreign currency
exchange rate changes. The most significant sales volume decreases
were experienced within our Original Equipment – North America
segment.
During
the third quarter of fiscal 2010, gross margin improved 420 basis points from
11.6 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 to 15.8 percent in the third
quarter of fiscal 2010. The improvement in gross margin is the result
of the reduction in direct and indirect costs in the manufacturing facilities as
a result of cost reduction actions taken during fiscal 2009.
SG&A
expenses decreased $2.6 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2009 to the
third quarter of fiscal 2010 due to the impact of fiscal 2009 cost reduction
actions, which include a workforce reduction at the Corporate headquarters in
Racine, Wisconsin and throughout the European facilities, including the European
headquarters in Bonlanden, Germany.
Restructuring
expense (income) is primarily comprised of severance costs incurred as a result
of actions taken under our four-point plan. During the third quarter
of fiscal 2010, we recorded $1.2 million of restructuring charges as the result
of the announced closure of our Harrodsburg, Kentucky
facility. During the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded
restructuring expenses of $25.3 million, which represents severance charges
primarily related to a workforce reduction in our Racine, Wisconsin headquarters
and a planned workforce reduction throughout our European facilities including
the European headquarters in Bonlanden, Germany.
During
the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we recorded impairment charges of $27.3
million. This includes a goodwill impairment charge of $9.0 million
and a long-lived asset impairment charge of $10.6 million, both recorded in our
Original Equipment – Europe segment, and a long-lived asset impairment charge of
$7.8 million recorded in our Original Equipment – North America
segment.
Results
from operations improved $63.7 million from the reported loss from operations of
$58.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 to the reported income from
operations of $5.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The
improvement in gross margin and absence of significant restructuring and asset
impairment charges were the primary factors contributing to this improvement in
results from operations.
Interest
expense is comparable quarter over quarter. Interest expense incurred
during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 related to a lower debt balance than
during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 yet at a substantially higher interest
rate.
Other
(income) expense increased $2.1 million from $1.7 million of expense recorded in
the third quarter of fiscal 2009 to $0.4 million of income recorded in the third
quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase in other (income) expense was
primarily related to foreign currency transaction gains recorded in the third
quarter of fiscal 2010 on inter-company loans denominated in a foreign
currency.
During
the third quarter of fiscal 2010, we recorded a $0.2 million provision for
income taxes, which represents an effective tax rate of 10.1
percent. This compares to a $7.3 million benefit from income taxes
recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2009, which represents an effective
tax rate of -11.4 percent. During the second quarter of fiscal 2010,
we recorded a valuation allowance of $3.8 million predominantly against the net
deferred tax assets in the U.S. as we continue to assess that it is more likely
than not that these assets will not be realized in the future.
Income
from continuing operations of $2.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010
was an improvement of $58.6 million from the loss from continuing operations of
$56.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. In addition,
diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.05 for the third
quarter of fiscal 2010 was an improvement from diluted loss per share from
continuing operations of $1.76. These improvements are primarily
related to the improved gross margin and the absence of significant
restructuring and asset impairment charges in the third quarter of fiscal
2010.
Comparison
of Nine Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
Fiscal
2010 year-to-date net sales of $838.3 million were $315.6 million lower than the
$1,153.9 million reported in the same period last year. The decrease
in revenues was driven by overall sales volume declines as a result of the weak
global economy. Automotive and medium/heavy duty truck sales declined
approximately 10.6 percent and 29.1 percent, respectively compared to the first
nine months of fiscal 2009. In addition, unfavorable foreign currency
exchange rate changes contributed to $14.3 million of the
decrease. Significant sales volume declines were experienced
throughout most of the segments of our business.
Fiscal
2010 year-to-date gross profit decreased $37.5 million from the same period last
year. The year over year reduction in net sales of $315.6 million and
the resulting underabsorption of fixed costs in our manufacturing facilities was
the most significant factor contributing to the reduction in gross
profit. Partially offsetting this decline are improvements related to
the substantial reduction in direct and indirect costs in the manufacturing
facilities as a result of cost reduction actions taken during fiscal 2009 and
the impact of favorable materials pricing. These two improvements
were largely equal factors which contributed to the year over year improvement
in gross margin from 14.2 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 to
15.0 percent in the first nine months of fiscal 2010.
Fiscal
2010 year-to-date SG&A expenses decreased $43.1 million from the same period
last year, reflecting our intense focus on lowering our administrative cost
structure and executing on our portfolio rationalization
strategy. Incremental consulting fees of $3.2 million were incurred
during the first nine months of fiscal 2009 related to the ongoing restructuring
activities in North America, which also contributed to the year-over-year
decrease in SG&A expenses.
Restructuring
income of $0.9 million was recorded during the first nine months of fiscal 2010
related to the reversal of severance liabilities within our European business as
the result of favorable benefits negotiations partially offset by restructuring
charges related to the announced closure of our Harrodsburg, Kentucky
facility. We recorded restructuring charges of $28.1 million during
the first nine months of fiscal 2009 related to a workforce reduction in our
Racine, Wisconsin headquarters and a planned workforce reduction throughout our
European facilities including the European headquarters in Bonlanden, Germany
under our four-point plan.
During
the first nine months of fiscal 2010, we recorded impairment charges of $5.1
million primarily related to long-lived assets in our North American business
for certain program assets that were not able to support their asset bases and
for the Harrodsburg, Kentucky manufacturing facility based on our intentions to
close this facility. During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, we
recorded impairment charges of $30.5 million including a goodwill impairment
charge of $9.0 million in our Original Equipment – Europe segment and a
long-lived asset impairment charge of $21.5 million against certain long-lived
assets in our European, North American and Commercial Products
businesses. These charges were related to certain manufacturing
facilities with projected cash flows not able to support their asset bases,
program assets that were not able to support their asset bases and assets no
longer in use, as well assets related to cancelled programs.
Fiscal
2010 year-to-date interest expense increased $9.3 million over the same period
last year, based on increased borrowings early in fiscal 2010 with increased
interest rates along with the $3.4 million prepayment penalty to the holders of
our senior notes in connection with the mandatory prepayments of debt with a
portion of the cash proceeds from the common stock offering on September 30,
2009. Also included in interest expense was the amortization of $0.8
million of capitalized debt issuance costs and interest rate derivatives in
proportion with the mandatory prepayment of the senior notes.
Fiscal
2010 year-to-date other income increased $8.5 million over the same period last
year. The increase was partially related to foreign currency exchange
gains on inter-company loans denominated in a foreign currency. In
addition, we sold our 50 percent ownership of Anhui Jianghaui Mando Climate
Control Co. Ltd. resulting in a gain of $1.5 million during the first quarter of
fiscal 2010.
During
the first nine months of fiscal 2010, we recorded a $2.1 million provision for
income taxes, which represents an effective tax rate of 33.8
percent. This compares to a $2.7 million benefit from income taxes
recorded during the first nine months of fiscal 2009, which represented an
effective tax rate of -4.1 percent. During the first nine months of
fiscal 2010, we recorded a valuation allowance of $6.2 million predominantly
against the net deferred tax assets in the U.S. as we continue to assess that it
is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the
future. During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, we recorded
valuation allowance charges of $17.8 million primarily against the net deferred
tax assets in the U.S.
Loss from
continuing operations improved $54.4 million from the first nine months of
fiscal 2009 to the first nine months of fiscal 2010. In addition,
diluted loss per share from continuing operations improved from a $1.96 loss per
share in the prior year to a loss of $0.23 per share in the current
year. The significant decline in SG&A costs and the absences of
significant restructuring and asset impairment charges from fiscal 2009 were the
primary drivers of this improvement.
DISCONTINUED
OPERATIONS
During
fiscal 2009, we announced the intended divestiture of our South Korea-based
heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) business. We
determined during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 that this business should be
presented as held for sale and as a discontinued operation in the consolidated
financial statements.
The
following table presents the quarterly results of the South Korea HVAC business
reported through the third quarter of fiscal 2009, which were separately
presented as a component of earnings (loss) from discontinued operations in
subsequent filings (amounts in thousands):

Comparison
of Three Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
The
Original Equipment – Asia segment is currently in the expansion
phase. Net sales increased $4.7 million from the third quarter of
fiscal 2009 to the third quarter of fiscal 2010 due to our growing presence in
the region and the completion of construction on a new facility in Chennai,
India. This facility began production in the second quarter of fiscal
2009 and is currently in low volume production. Gross margin improved
700 basis points from the third quarter of fiscal 2009 to the third quarter of
fiscal 2010 due to manufacturing efficiencies with the increased sales
volumes. SG&A expenses decreased $1.3 million from the third
quarter of fiscal 2009 to the third quarter of fiscal 2010 due to cost reduction
efforts within this region. The loss from continuing operations
decreased $1.5 million over the periods presented due to the improved gross
margin and the decrease in SG&A costs.
Comparison
of Nine Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
Original
Equipment – Asia fiscal 2010 year-to-date net sales increased $9.0 million from
the same period last year due to expansion in the Asia region and incremental
sales from a new manufacturing facility completed during the second quarter of
fiscal 2009. The negative margin for the first nine months of fiscal
2010 is related to the start-up activities at this facility. SG&A
expenses decreased $3.2 million as a result of positive cost reduction efforts
within the region. The loss from continuing operations decreased $2.7
million over the periods presented based on the cost reduction efforts in
SG&A.

Comparison
of Three Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
Original
Equipment – Europe net sales increased $14.1 million from the third quarter of
fiscal 2009 to the third quarter of fiscal 2010, driven by the favorable impact
of foreign currency exchange rate changes. Gross margin improved from
7..9 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 to 13.9 percent during the
third quarter of fiscal 2010 primarily as a result of the reduction of indirect
costs in the manufacturing facilities. Restructuring income of $0.2
million was recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 related to the
reversal of severance liabilities as the result of favorable benefits
negotiations. Restructuring charges of $21.4 million were recorded
during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as the result of a plan to reduce the
workforce throughout the European facilities including at the European
Headquarters in Bonlanden, Germany. A goodwill impairment charge of
$9.0 million was recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 based on a
declining outlook for this segment. In addition, a long-lived asset
impairment charge of $10.6 million was recorded during the third quarter of
fiscal 2009 related to certain manufacturing facilities with projected cash
flows unable to support their asset bases. The income from continuing
operations of $6.4 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was an
improvement of $49.8 million from the loss from continuing operations of $43.4
million incurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 primarily due to the
restructuring and impairment charges recorded during the prior year third
quarter.
Comparison
of Nine Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
Original
Equipment – Europe fiscal 2010 year-to-date net sales decreased $155.3 million
from the same period last year, based primarily on a decline in vehicular sales
volumes as a result of the weak global economy and a $6.2 million unfavorable
impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes. Gross margin
decreased from 14.8 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2009 to 13.1
percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2010, which was largely due to
the underabsorption of fixed manufacturing costs as a result of the substantial
decrease in sales volumes partially offset by the reduction of indirect costs in
the manufacturing facilities and the impact of favorable materials
pricing. SG&A expenses decreased $7.2 million, primarily due to
the positive impact of SG&A cost reduction efforts. Restructuring
income of $3.5 million was recorded during the first nine months of fiscal 2010
related to the reversal of severance liabilities as the result of favorable
benefits negotiations. Restructuring charges of $21.4 million were
recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 as the result of a plan to
reduce the workforce throughout the European facilities including at the
European Headquarters in Bonlanden, Germany. A goodwill impairment
charge of $9.0 million was recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2009
based on a declining outlook for this segment. In addition, a
long-lived asset impairment charge of $10.6 million was recorded during the
third quarter of fiscal 2009 related to certain manufacturing facilities with
projected cash flows unable to support their asset bases. The income
from continuing operations of $15.8 million during the first nine months of
fiscal 2010 was an improvement of $22.7 million from the loss from continuing
operations of $6.9 million incurred in the first nine months of fiscal 2009
primarily due to the restructuring and impairment charges recorded during the
prior year.

Comparison
of Three Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
Original
Equipment – North America net sales decreased $36.4 million from the third
quarter of fiscal 2009 to the third quarter of fiscal 2010, primarily driven by
depressed North American truck and off-highway markets. Also included
in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 is revenue of $8.7 million related to a
license agreement entered into with Bloom Energy, a leading developer of fuel
cell-based distributed energy systems, under which Bloom Energy licensed our
thermal management technology for an up-front fee of $12.0
million. In addition to licensing this technology, we were also
providing certain transition services to Bloom Energy, including the sale of
products through December 2009. We received an advance payment of
$0.7 million for these transition services, and received additional compensation
for the supply of products to Bloom Energy over this time. The total
up-front compensation received of $12.7 million was recognized as revenue over
the 15-month term of these agreements. Gross margin decreased from
11.3 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 to 9.0 percent during the
third quarter of fiscal 2010 due to the revenue from the Bloom Energy
transaction in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 partially offset by the benefits
realized as a result of manufacturing realignment efforts initiated during
fiscal 2009. SG&A expenses decreased $6.0 million year-over-year,
primarily due to the flow-through impact of fiscal 2009 cost reduction
actions. Restructuring charges recorded during the third quarter of
fiscal 2010 relate to the announced closure of our Harrodsburg, Kentucky
facility. The majority of the restructuring charges recorded during
the third quarter of fiscal 2009 related to a workforce reduction at the Racine,
Wisconsin Headquarters which was completed during January 2009. Asset
impairment charges of $7.8 million recorded during the third quarter of fiscal
2009 related to assets of a facility which projected cash flows unable to
support its asset base, a program which was unable to support its asset base, as
well as assets related to a cancelled program. The loss from
continuing operations of $0.5 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2010
was an improvement of $8.2 million from the loss from continuing operations of
$8.7 million incurred in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, based on the
manufacturing and SG&A cost reduction activities and absence of significant
impairment charges.
Comparison
of Nine Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
Original
Equipment – North America fiscal 2010 year-to-date net sales decreased $106.0
million from the same period last year. The sales volumes continued
to be depressed on a year-over-year basis due to depressed North American truck
and off-highway markets. Gross margin improved from 7.3 percent
during the first nine months of fiscal 2009 to 11.1 percent during the first
nine months of fiscal 2010, primarily attributable to a significant reduction in
direct and indirect costs in the North American manufacturing facilities and the
positive impact of materials pricing. SG&A expenses decreased
$26.8 million year-over-year due to the positive impact of cost reduction
actions within the region and the absence of consulting fees incurred in fiscal
2009 in connection with the manufacturing realignment. Restructuring
charges recorded in fiscal 2010 year-to-date relate to the announced closure of
our Harrodsburg, Kentucky facility. The majority of the restructuring
charges recorded during fiscal 2009 year-to-date related to a workforce
reduction at the Racine, Wisconsin Headquarters which was completed during
January 2009. Asset impairment charges of $4.6 million recorded
during the first nine months of fiscal 2010 related to a program that was not
able to support its asset base and the Harrodsburg, Kentucky manufacturing
facility, which had a net book value which exceeded its fair
value. The majority of the long-lived asset impairment charges
recorded during the first nine months of fiscal 2009 relate to assets within
this segment for a program, which was unable to support its asset base, as well
as for assets which are no longer in use. During the first nine
months of fiscal 2010, this segment reported income from continuing operations
of $3.6 million, which has improved $36.6 million from the loss from continuing
operations of $33.0 million incurred in the first nine months of fiscal 2009,
based primarily on the improved gross margin, reduction in SG&A costs and
reduced impairment charges.

South
America net sales increased $3.6 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2009
to the third quarter of fiscal 2010 due to a $7.6 million favorable impact of
foreign currency exchange rate changes partially offset by reduced sales volumes
within their commercial vehicle and agricultural markets as a result of the
global recession. Gross margin improved from 17.1 percent during the
third quarter of fiscal 2009 to 18.9 percent during the third quarter of fiscal
2010 as a result of manufacturing realignment efforts initiated during fiscal
2009. Income from continuing operations increased $1.8 million over
the periods presented based on the improved gross margin.
Comparison
of Nine Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
South
America fiscal 2010 year-to-date net sales decreased $31.9 million from the same
period last year, based on reduced sales volumes within their commercial vehicle
markets, along with an unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate
changes of $1.5 million. Gross margin decreased from 21.7 percent
during the first nine months of fiscal 2009 to 20.0 percent during the first
nine months of fiscal 2010 due to the underabsorption of fixed costs with the
reduced sales volumes. SG&A expenses decreased $3.7 million due
to the positive impact of SG&A reduction efforts within this
region. Restructuring expense of $0.8 million was recorded during the
first nine months of fiscal 2010 related to a workforce reduction within the
Brazilian operations. Income from continuing operations decreased
$5.3 million from the first nine months of fiscal 2009 to the first nine months
of fiscal 2010 based on the significantly reduced sales volumes and gross margin
decline.

Comparison
of Three Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
Commercial
Products net sales were comparable for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 and the
third quarter of fiscal 2010. Gross margin improved from 25.2 percent
during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 to 31.6 percent during the third quarter
of fiscal 2010, primarily related to sales price increases, lower material costs
and manufacturing cost improvements. Income from continuing
operations improved $2.7 million over the periods presented with the significant
improvement in gross margin.
Comparison
of Nine Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
Commercial
Products fiscal 2010 year-to-date net sales decreased $22.9 million from the
same period last year, based primarily on an overall reduction in sales volume
with the deterioration in the global economy and a $6.3 million unfavorable
impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes. Gross margin
improved from 23.9 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2009 to 28.0
percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2010, based on lower material
costs, manufacturing cost improvements and productivity
initiatives. SG&A expenses decreased $2.2 million from the first
nine months of fiscal 2009 to the first nine months of fiscal 2010 due to cost
reduction efforts. Income from continuing operations increased $2.2
million from the first nine months of fiscal 2009 to the first nine months of
fiscal 2010 as a result of the gross margin improvements and SG&A cost
reduction efforts.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
Our
primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operating activities and
borrowings under lines of credit provided by banks in the United States and
abroad. On September 30, 2009, we completed a public offering of 13.8
million shares of our common stock, including 1.8 million shares issued pursuant
to the fully exercised underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a
price of $7.15 per share. The proceeds of the common stock offering
were $93.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, legal,
accounting and printing fees of $5.6 million. On December 23, 2009,
we sold 100 percent of the shares of our South Korea-based HVAC business for net
cash proceeds of $11.2 million.
Cash
provided by operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 was
$49.9 million as compared to $80.3 million for the nine months ended December
31, 2008. During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, we were able
to generate positive cash flow through working capital improvement
initiatives. During the first nine months of fiscal 2010, we held our
working capital balances relatively consistent, while increasing our cash flows
from improved operating results. The changes in working capital
balances over the first nine months of fiscal 2009 as compared to the same
period of fiscal 2010, partially offset by the improved operating results on the
first nine months of fiscal 2010, were the most significant factors contributing
to the reduction in operating cash flows.
At
December 31, 2009, the Company had capital expenditure commitments of $32.8
million. Significant commitments include tooling and equipment
expenditures for new and renewal platforms with new and current customers in
Europe and North America. During the first nine months of fiscal
2010, we incurred capital expenditures of $41.4 million. Our capital
spending is limited under our amended credit agreements to $70.0 million for
fiscal 2010 and for all fiscal years thereafter.
Outstanding
indebtedness decreased $117.5 million to $131.7 million at December 31, 2009
from the March 31, 2009 balance of $249.2 million, primarily as a result of the
debt repayments with the proceeds from the common stock offering and the sale of
our South Korea-based HVAC business.
At
December 31, 2009, we had $136.1 million available for future borrowings under
the revolving credit facility. In addition to this revolving credit
facility, we have unused lines of credit in Asia, Europe and Brazil totaling
$38.8 million at December 31, 2009. In the aggregate, we have total
available lines of credit of $174.9 million at December 31, 2009. On
May 15, 2009, Modine Holding GmbH and Modine Europe GmbH, each a subsidiary of
the Company, entered into a Credit Facility Agreement with an available line of
15.0 million euro ($21.5 million U.S. equivalent). This credit
facility is available until May 14, 2010.
We
believe that our internally generated operating cash flows and existing cash
balances, together with access to available external borrowings, will be
sufficient to satisfy future operating costs, capital expenditures, working
capital needs of the business as our end markets recover from the global
recession and restructuring costs incurred under the four-point
plan.
Intercreditor
Agreement
During
the third quarter of fiscal 2010, we generated positive cash flow from
operations. We used this cash, plus the proceeds from the sale of our
South Korea-based HVAC business during the third quarter, to voluntarily repay
our revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2009, there was $2.0
million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, which represents a
significant reduction from the $50.0 million outstanding balance at September
30, 2009. In addition, at December 31, 2009, we had $121.5 million
outstanding on the senior notes.
In
conjunction with the First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Waiver with our
primary lenders and Waiver and Second Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreements
with the senior note holders each dated as of February 17, 2009, the primary
lenders and senior note holders entered into a Collateral Agency and
Intercreditor Agreement, to which we consented. This agreement
provides for the sharing of payments received in respect of the collateral and
the guarantees provided by the Company to the primary lenders and senior note
holders. On September 18, 2009, the primary lenders and senior note
holders entered into a First Amendment to Collateral Agency and Intercreditor
Agreement (“Intercreditor Agreement”), to which we consented. Under
the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, 90 days after the expiration of our
revolving credit facility in July 2011, certain actions may be required in order
to preserve a stated ratio relative to the Company’s indebtedness to the primary
lenders on the one hand and the senior note holders on the other. This portion
of the Intercreditor Agreement, if triggered, would require the primary lenders
to pay the senior note holders to preserve the relative position of those two
groups that existed when the Intercreditor Agreement was executed. If
the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility at that time is the
same as it was as of December 31, 2009, the primary lenders would be required to
pay approximately $46 million to the senior note holders in October
2011.
We
currently plan to refinance our revolving credit facility prior to its
expiration in July 2011. In the unlikely event that we were unable to
complete this refinancing prior to October 2010 (one year prior to the potential
rebalancing described above), and if the Intercreditor Agreement terms remain in
their current state, we may be required to classify the above-described payment
from the primary lenders to the senior note holders as a current liability in
our Consolidated Balance Sheet. This
current liability classification may be required as we may need to reimburse the
primary lender for the rebalancing payment made to the senior note holders.
If that were to occur, we believe that our existing cash balances and
internally generated operating cash flows would be sufficient to fund this
required payment and any potential associated obligations.
Debt
Covenants
Our debt
agreements require us to maintain compliance with various
covenants. The most restrictive limitation at present is a minimum
adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)
covenant. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as our (loss) earnings from
continuing operations before interest expense and provision for income taxes,
adjusted to exclude unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary non-cash charges and
up to $34.0 million of cash restructuring and repositioning charges and further
adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted
EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered, an alternative to
(loss) earnings from continuing operations as determined by generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP), and our calculation may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
The
following presents the minimum adjusted EBITDA level requirements with which we
are required to comply through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010:
For
the four consecutive quarters ended December 31, 2009
|
$
1.8 million
|
For
the four consecutive quarters ending March 31, 2010
|
35.0
million
|
Our
adjusted EBITDA for the four consecutive quarters ended December 31, 2009 was
$66.5 million, which exceeded the minimum adjusted EBITDA requirement by $64.8
million. We expect to remain in compliance with this covenant
throughout the remainder of fiscal 2010 based on the adjusted EBITDA recorded
during the first three quarters of fiscal 2010 and the projected financial
results for the remainder of fiscal 2010. The following table
presents a calculation of adjusted EBITDA:

In
addition to the minimum adjusted EBITDA covenant, we are not permitted to incur

balance as a result of the common stock offering and proceeds from the sale of
our South Korea-based HVAC business.

Critical Accounting
Policies
Impairment of Goodwill and
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets: Impairment tests are
conducted at least annually unless business events or other conditions exist
that would require a more frequent evaluation. The Company considers
factors such as operating losses, declining outlooks and market capitalization
when evaluating the necessity for an impairment analysis. We conduct
the 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 is 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. At
December 31, 2009, the Company had goodwill of $30.8 million recorded,
consisting primarily of $14.2 million within the South America segment and $16.1
million within the Commercial Products segment. The South America and
Commercial Products segments continue to report operating income and forecast
strong financial results. The future discounted cash flows of these
segments continue to exceed their carrying value indicating that the goodwill
recorded in these segments is fully realizable at December 31,
2009. If, in future periods, these segments experience a significant
unanticipated economic downturn in the markets in which they operate, this would
require an impairment review.
Impairment of Long-Lived and
Amortized Intangible Assets: The Company performs impairment
evaluations of its long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment,
intangible assets with finite lives and equity investments, whenever business
conditions or events indicate that those assets may be impaired. The
Company considers factors such as operating losses, declining outlooks and
market capitalization when evaluating the necessity for an impairment
analysis. When the estimated future undiscounted cash flows to be
generated by the assets are less than the carrying value of the long-lived
assets, or the decline in value is considered to be “other than temporary,” the
assets are written down to fair market value and a charge is recorded to current
operations. Fair market value is estimated in various ways depending
on the nature of the assets under review. This value can be based on
appraised value, estimated salvage value, sales price under negotiation or
estimated cancellation charges, as applicable. The Company recorded
long-lived asset impairment charges of $0.3 million and $27.3 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The
Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges of $5.1 million and $30.5
million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
The most
significant long-lived assets that have been subject to impairment evaluations
during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 are the Company’s net
property, plant and equipment, which totaled $443.0 million at December 31,
2009. Within property, plant and equipment, the most significant
assets evaluated are buildings and improvements, and machinery and
equipment. The Company evaluates impairment at the lowest level of
separately identifiable cash flows, which is generally at the manufacturing
plant level. The Company monitors its manufacturing plant performance
to determine whether indicators exist that would require an impairment
evaluation for the facility. This includes significant adverse
changes in plant profitability metrics; substantial changes in the mix of
customer programs manufactured in the plant, consisting of new program launches,
reductions, and phase-outs; and shifting of programs to other facilities under
the Company’s manufacturing realignment strategy. When such
indicators are present, the Company performs an impairment evaluation by
comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated
in the manufacturing facility to the net book value of the long-lived assets
within that facility. The undiscounted cash flows are estimated based
on the expected future cash flows to be generated by the manufacturing facility
over the remaining useful life of the machinery and equipment within that
facility. When the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less
than the net book value of the long-lived assets, such assets are written down
to fair market value, which is generally estimated based on appraisals or
estimated salvage value.
The
Company’s four-point plan is designed to attain a more competitive cost base and
improve the Company’s longer term competitiveness, and this plan is intended to
reduce the risk of potential long-lived asset impairment charges in the future
once the accelerated restructuring under the four-point plan is
completed. The manufacturing realignment strategy of this plan is
designed to improve the utilization of the Company’s facilities, with fewer
facilities, but operating at higher capacities. The portfolio
rationalization strategy of this plan is designed to identify and retain
products for which the Company can earn a sufficient return on its investment,
and divest or exit products that do not meet required financial
metrics. These strategies have the goal of creating better facility
utilization and greater profitability in product mix, which are designed to
allow the manufacturing facilities to withstand more significant adverse changes
before an impairment charge is necessary.
New Accounting
Pronouncements
Accounting standards changes and new
accounting pronouncements: In December 2007, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued updated guidance on business
combinations which retained the underlying concepts that all business
combinations are still required to be accounted for at fair value under the
acquisition method of accounting, but 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 transaction
and restructuring costs will be expensed rather than treated as an acquisition
cost and included in the amount recorded for assets acquired. Additionally, this
new guidance amended the goodwill disclosure requirements to require a
roll-forward of the gross amount of goodwill and accumulated impairment
losses. This new guidance is effective 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. The segments for which we
currently have goodwill have not had any historical impairment
charges. This guidance also amends 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 the new guidance would also apply the provisions of that
guidance. Early adoption was not allowed. The adoption of
this standard did not have an impact on previous acquisitions.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on consolidations which
established new standards that will govern the accounting for and reporting of
(1) non-controlling interests in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and
(2) the loss of control of subsidiaries. Our consolidated
subsidiaries are wholly owned and, as such, no non-controlling 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. This new guidance is effective on a
prospective basis on or after April 1, 2009 except for the presentation and
disclosure requirements, which will be applied retrospectively. Early
adoption was not allowed. The adoption of this standard did not
have an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In April
2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which requires the disclosure
about fair value of financial instruments in interim reporting periods of
publicly traded companies similar to the disclosures that were previously only
required in annual financial statements. The provisions of this new
guidance were effective April 1, 2009 and amend only the disclosure requirements
about fair value of financial instruments in interim
periods. Therefore, the adoption of this guidance had no impact on
our consolidated financial statements.
In May
2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on subsequent events that
addresses the types and timing of events that should be reported in the
financial statements for events occurring between the balance sheet date and the
date the financial statements are issued or available to be
issued. This guidance was effective on June 30, 2009. We
reviewed events for inclusion in the financial statements through February 8,
2010, the date that the accompanying financial statements were
issued. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the financial
position or results of operations.
In August
2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standards update on fair value
measurements and disclosures that applies to the fair value measurement of
liabilities. This update provides clarification that in circumstances
in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not
available, companies are required to measure the fair value of the liability
using one or both of the following techniques: (i) the quoted price
of an identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar
liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another
valuation technique (e.g., a market approach or income approach) including a
technique based on the amount an entity would pay to transfer the identical
liability, or a technique based on the amount an entity would receive to enter
into an identical liability. This update was effective during the
third quarter of fiscal 2010, and had no impact on our consolidated financial
statements.
Contractual
Obligations
There
have been no material changes to our contractual obligations outside the
ordinary course of business from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, with the exception of the
mandatory prepayment of long-term debt of $46.4 million from the proceeds of the
common stock offering on September 30, 2009. The majority of these
payments reduce our contractual obligations for long-term debt (including
interest) in the period greater than five years. A voluntary
repayment of long-term debt of $46.6 million was also made from the proceeds of
the common stock offering on September 30, 2009. In addition, as
further discussed under “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” under the terms of
the Intercreditor Agreement, as amended, the primary lenders may be required to
pay approximately $46 million to the senior note holders in October 2011 if a
rebalancing of the Company’s indebtedness to the primary lenders and the senior
note holders is required. We are currently unable to determine the
impact on our contractual obligations from the ultimate timing of settlement of
the gross liability for uncertain tax positions which was $6.2 million as of
December 31, 2009.

Item
3. 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, India and throughout Europe. It also has
an equity investment in a company located in Japan. 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 attempts to mitigate foreign currency risks on
transactions with customers and suppliers in foreign countries by entering into
contracts that are denominated in the functional currency of the Modine entity
engaging in the contract. The Company's operating results are
principally exposed to changes in exchange rates between the dollar and the
European currencies, primarily the euro, 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. For the three months
ended December 31, 2009, the Company experienced a strengthening of the U.S.
dollar to these foreign currencies, which resulted in an unfavorable currency
translation adjustment of $4.8 million. For the nine months ended
December 31, 2009, the Company experienced a general weakening of the U.S.
dollar to these foreign currencies, which resulted in a favorable currency
translation adjustment of $36.4 million. At December 31, 2009 and
March 31, 2009, the Company's foreign subsidiaries had net current assets
(defined as current assets less current liabilities) subject to foreign currency
translation risk of $95.9 million and $71.8 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 $9.6 million and $7.2 million,
respectively. 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, from time to time, certain foreign-denominated, long-term debt
obligations and long-term inter-company loans that are sensitive to foreign
currency exchange rates. As of December 31, 2009 there were no third
party foreign-denominated, long-term debt obligations.
At
December 31, 2009, Modine, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, had an
inter-company loan totaling $6.9 million with its wholly owned subsidiary,
Modine Brazil, that matures on May 8, 2011. Modine Brazil paid $2.0
million and $8.0 million on this inter-company loan during the three and nine
months ended December 31, 2009, respectively.
The
Company also had other inter-company loans outstanding at December 31, 2009 as
follows:
|
·
|
$11.9
million loan to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal Systems
Private Limited (Modine India), that matures on April 30, 2013;
and
|
|
·
|
$12.0
million between two loans to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal
Systems (Changzhou) Co. Ltd. (Changzhou, China), with various maturity
dates through June 2012.
|
These
inter-company loans are sensitive to movement in foreign exchange rates, and the
Company does not have any derivative instruments that hedge 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 domestic revolving credit facility is
based on a variable interest rate of London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus
475 basis points. The Company is subject to future fluctuations in
LIBOR which would affect the variable interest rate on the revolving credit
facility and create variability in interest expense. A 100
basis point increase in LIBOR would increase interest expense by less than $0.1
million for the fiscal year based on the December 31, 2009 revolving credit
facility balance. The Company has, from time to time, entered into
interest rate derivatives to manage variability in interest
rates. 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 three and nine months ended
December 31, 2009, $0.1 million and $0.7 million of expense,
respectively, was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations related
to the amortization of interest rate derivative losses. The expense
for nine months includes $0.5 million of amortization in proportion with the
mandatory prepayment of the senior notes on September 30, 2009. At
December 31, 2009, $0.7 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 for our long-term debt. 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 $121.5 million fixed rate notes which has a fair value of
approximately $128.9 million at December 31, 2009.
As of
December 31, 2009, long-term debt matures as follows:

As
further discussed under “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” under the terms of
the Intercreditor Agreement, as amended, the primary lenders may be required to
pay approximately $46 million to the senior note holders in October 2011 if a
rebalancing of the Company’s indebtedness to the primary lenders and the senior
note holders is required. If this rebalancing becomes necessary, it
would reduce the debt maturity in the thereafter column.
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 43 percent of
the trade receivables balance at December 31, 2009 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. However, the current economic uncertainty,
especially within the global automotive and commercial vehicle markets, makes it
difficult to predict future financial conditions of significant customers within
these markets. Deterioration in the financial condition of a
significant customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
results of operations and liquidity.
The
recent adverse events in the global financial markets have also increased credit
risks on investments to which Modine is exposed or where Modine has an
interest. The Company manages these credit risks through its focus on
the following:
|
·
|
Cash
and investments – Cash deposits and short-term investments are reviewed to
ensure banks have credit ratings acceptable to the Company and that all
short-term investments are maintained in secured or guaranteed
instruments. The Company’s holdings in cash and investments
were considered stable and secure at December 31,
2009;
|
|
·
|
Pension
assets – The Company has retained outside advisors to assist in the
management of the assets in the Company’s defined benefit
plans. In making investment decisions, the Company has been
guided by an established risk management protocol under which the focus is
on protection of the plan assets against downside risk. The
Company monitors investments in its pension plans to help ensure that
these plans provide good diversification, investment teams and portfolio
managers are adhering to the Company’s investment policies and directives,
and exposure to high risk securities and other similar assets is
limited. The Company believes it has good investment policies
and controls and proactive investment advisors. Despite our
efforts to protect against downside risk, the assets within these plans do
fluctuate with changing market valuations and volatility;
and
|
|
·
|
Insurance
– The Company monitors its insurance providers to ensure that they have
acceptable financial ratings, and no concerns have been identified through
this review.
|
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. The Company sells a broad range of products that provide
thermal solutions to a diverse group of customers operating primarily in the
truck, heavy equipment, automotive and commercial heating and air conditioning
markets. The recent adverse events in the global economy have created
a significant downturn in the Company’s vehicular markets and to a lesser extent
in its commercial heating and air conditioning markets. The weak
global economy makes it difficult to predict future conditions within these
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 and potentially result in the impairment of related
assets.
The
Company is responding to these market conditions through its continued
implementation of its four-point plan as follows:
|
·
|
Manufacturing
realignment – aligning the manufacturing footprint to maximize asset
utilization and improve the Company’s cost competitive
position;
|
|
·
|
Portfolio
rationalization – identifying products or businesses which should be
divested or exited as they do not meet required financial
metrics;
|
|
·
|
SG&A
expense reduction – reducing SG&A expenses and SG&A expenses as a
percentage of sales through diligent cost containment actions;
and
|
|
·
|
Capital
allocation discipline – allocating capital spending to operating segments
and business programs that will provide the highest return on
investment.
|
The
Company continues to monitor economic conditions in the U.S. and
elsewhere. As Modine expands its global presence, it also encounters
risks imposed by potential trade restrictions, including tariffs, embargoes and
the like.
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, waste heat recovery and residential fuel
cells. 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.
Future
recovery from the global recession or continued economic growth in China is
expected to put 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. 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.
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. The
Company has implemented a supplier risk management program that utilizes
industry sources to identify and mitigate high risk supplier
situations.
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 attempts to offset 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. However, the risks associated with any market downturn,
including the current global recession, 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 has utilized an aluminum hedging strategy from time to time by entering
into fixed price contracts to help offset changing commodity
prices. 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. The Company
anticipates that recent commodity price increases, especially with copper and
aluminum, combined with the lagging impact of material pass-through agreements
with several customers, will put pressure on the gross margin for the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2010.
Hedging and Foreign Currency
Exchange Contracts
The
Company uses derivative financial instruments from time to time as a tool to
manage certain financial risks. Their use has been restricted
primarily to hedging assets and obligations already held by Modine, and they
have been used to protect cash flows rather than generate income or engage in
speculative activity. Leveraged derivatives are prohibited by Company
policy.
Commodity
Derivatives: The Company enters into futures contracts from
time to time 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
purchases of these commodities. These contracts have been designated
as cash flow hedges by the Company. Accordingly, unrealized gains and
losses on these contracts are deferred as a component of accumulated other
comprehensive 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 the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009,
$1.1 million and $5.9 million of expense, respectively, was recorded in the
consolidated statement of operations related to the settlement of certain
futures contracts. At December 31, 2009, $2.1 million of unrealized
losses remain deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and
will be realized as a component of cost of sales over the next 66
months. During the first nine months of fiscal 2010, the Company did
not enter into any new futures contracts for commodities.
The
Company has entered into futures contracts from time to time related to certain
of the Company’s forecasted purchases of copper and nickel. The
Company’s strategy in entering into these contracts was to reduce its exposure
to changing purchase prices for future purchases of these
commodities. The Company did not designate these contracts as hedges,
therefore gains and losses on these contracts were recorded directly in the
consolidated statement of operations. There were no future contracts
entered into for fiscal 2010. During the three and nine months ended
December 31, 2008, $2.6 million and $4.5 million of expense, respectively, 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
December 31, 2009, the Company had no outstanding forward foreign exchange
contracts. Non-U.S. dollar financing transactions through
inter-company 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 derivatives 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.
Counterparty
risks: The Company manages counterparty risks by ensuring that
counterparties to derivative instruments have credit rating acceptable to the
Company. At December 31, 2009, all counterparties had a sufficient
long-term credit rating.
Item
