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

Note 1: General

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States applied on a basis consistent with those principles used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements of Modine Manufacturing Company (Modine or the Company) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.  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 six months of fiscal 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in Modine's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012.

Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies

Revision of prior period financial statements:  As described in Note 1 and Note 26 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Modine’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012, the quarterly results for fiscal 2012 have been revised as a result of errors identified during fiscal 2012 that were not considered material individually or in the aggregate to previously issued financial statements but were considered significant to the quarters in which they were identified.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011, cost of sales decreased $355, gross profit increased $355, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $101, other expense – net increased $197, provision for income taxes decreased $318 and earnings from continuing operations increased $375 as a result of the revisions.  Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations and diluted net earnings per share increased $0.01 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of these revisions.  For the six months ended September 30, 2011, cost of sales decreased $726, gross profit increased $726, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $207, provision for income taxes increased $694 and earnings from continuing operations decreased $175 as a result of the revisions.  Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations and diluted net earnings per share were unchanged for the six months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of these revisions.

Out of period adjustment:  During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company identified an error related to certain commodity hedges that should have been deemed ineffective in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, which understated pre-tax earnings by $542 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, and overstated pre-tax earnings by this same amount in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.  This amount was not considered material to the financial statements of either the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 or the first six months of fiscal 2013.

New accounting pronouncements:  In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income. This amendment removes one of the three presentation options for presenting the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity and requires either a single continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or a two consecutive statement approach.  The Company adopted this guidance beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 with the two consecutive statement approach.

In September 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for testing goodwill for impairment.  The amendment provides an option for companies to first use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment if certain conditions are met.  If it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, entities must perform the quantitative analysis of the goodwill impairment test.  The amendment is effective for the Company’s upcoming fiscal 2013 goodwill impairment test.  The Company is assessing this new guidance and does not anticipate any impact on its consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this amendment.

Note 4: Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation consists of stock options, restricted stock granted for retention and performance and discretionary unrestricted stock.  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 $672 and $1,738 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Modine recognized stock-based compensation cost of $1,564 and $2,578 for the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The performance component of awards granted under the long-term incentive plan during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 is based on consolidated target return on average capital employed (ROACE) (weighted at 50 percent), cumulative revenue over the three year performance period (weighted at 25 percent), and a target European ROACE at the end of the three year performance period (weighted at 25 percent).  The Company currently considers the attainment of the consolidated ROACE and European ROACE components to be probable.  ROACE is defined as operating income adjusted to exclude unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary non-cash charges and cash restructuring and repositioning charges, multiplied by 70 percent to account for an assumed 30 percent income tax rate, and further adjusted to exclude earnings (or losses) attributable to minority shareholders; divided by total debt plus shareholders’ equity.  Cumulative revenue is the Company’s net sales over the performance period.  European ROACE is defined as the Europe segment operating income, less research and development charges to the Company’s corporate expenses, adjusted to exclude unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary non-cash charges and cash restructuring and repositioning charges, multiplied by 70 percent to account for an assumed 30 percent income tax rate; divided by Europe segment total assets, less cash and cash equivalents and Europe segment total liabilities, excluding debt.

Note 6: Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s provision for income taxes was $1,830 and $1,678, respectively.  For the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s provision for income taxes was $3,883 and $6,719, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company continued to record a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in the U.S., Germany and certain other foreign jurisdictions as it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized based on historical performance.  The Company will continue to provide a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in each of the applicable jurisdictions going forward until the need for a valuation allowance is eliminated.  The need for a valuation allowance will be eliminated when the Company determines it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.  It is possible that by the end of fiscal 2013 or in fiscal 2014, the U.S. taxing jurisdiction will no longer be in a cumulative three year loss position thereby removing significant negative evidence concerning the valuation allowance.  The Company will continue to evaluate all positive and negative evidence to determine the propriety of the valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets of this jurisdiction.

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 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 impacts of certain significant, unusual or infrequently occurring items are recorded in the period in which they occur. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, the U.S. taxing jurisdiction had year-to-date pre-tax earnings and is also forecasting pre-tax earnings for the full fiscal year.  As a result, the U.S. taxing jurisdiction continues to no longer be considered on a discrete basis but is included in the overall annual effective tax rate methodology.  The impact of the Company’s operations in Germany, Austria and certain other foreign locations continue to be excluded from the overall effective tax rate methodology and recorded discretely based upon year-to-date results as these operations anticipate net operating losses for the year.  The income tax provision or benefit for the Company’s other foreign operations are recorded under the overall effective tax rate methodology.

The Company does not anticipate the gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next twelve months other than that which will result from the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation.  The Company files income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world.  A tax audit in Germany, covering fiscal years 2006 through 2010, commenced during the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and is in its early stages.  The Company has not been notified of any other tax examinations covering open periods.

Note 10: Acquisitions

On July 25, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Geofinity Manufacturing of Surrey, British Columbia for cash consideration of $4,938, net of cash acquired.  This acquisition, which is included in the Commercial Products segment, provides Modine with a product line of innovative geothermal heat pumps in both water-to-water and water-to-air models.  Acquired assets and liabilities assumed were recorded at their respective fair values.  The purchase price allocation resulted in acquired technology of $3,477, working capital net assets of $678 and goodwill of $783.  Acquired technology consists of a fully developed product line, technical processes and intellectual property and is being amortized over ten years.

During fiscal 2007, the Company acquired the remaining 50 percent of Radiadores Visconde Ltda.  The purchase agreement included a $2,000 note which was payable subject to the resolution of certain obligations of the sellers.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company and the sellers reached a final resolution under which the Company is not obligated to pay the note to the seller.  As a result, the Company recorded a $2,000 reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses in the South America segment during the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

Note 11: Impairment and Restructuring Charges

During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company announced its intention to restructure its Europe segment.  The Company expects actions will include exiting certain non-core product lines based on its global product strategy, reducing manufacturing costs, implementing headcount reductions, and disposing of or selling certain assets.  The restructuring is designed to align the cost structure of the segment with the segment’s strategic focus on the commercial vehicle, off-highway and engine product markets, while improving gross margin and return on average capital employed.

Since the commencement of the Europe segment restructuring, the Company has recorded $15,756 of asset impairment charges, $5,616 of employee severance costs and $261 of repositioning expenses.  The Company currently anticipates incurring additional restructuring and repositioning costs of approximately $10,000, with the majority of these costs being incurred through fiscal 2014.  Total future cash expenditures of approximately $15,000 are anticipated to be incurred related to this restructuring plan.

Note 13: Indebtedness

The Company has $125,000 outstanding 6.83 percent Senior Notes, maturing on August 12, 2020.  As of September 30, 2012, the Company also had $6,000 outstanding under its $145,000 domestic revolving credit facility, which expires in August 2014.  At March 31, 2012, the Company had $9,000 outstanding on this domestic revolving credit facility.

Provisions contained in the Company’s revolving credit facility and Senior Note agreements require the Company to maintain compliance with various covenants.  The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of September 30, 2012.

Modine also maintains credit agreements with foreign banks with outstanding short-term borrowings at September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 of $19,750 and $21,296, respectively.  The foreign unused lines of credit in Europe, Brazil, China and India at September 30, 2012 were $54,000.  Domestic unused lines of credit at September 30, 2012 were $133,000.  In aggregate, the Company had total available lines of credit of $187,000 at September 30, 2012.

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 September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the carrying value of Modine’s long-term debt approximated fair value, with the exception of the Senior Notes, which had a fair value of approximately $142,000 and $139,000 at September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively.  The fair value of the Senior Notes is categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  Refer to Note 15 for the definition of a Level 2 fair value measurement.

Note 14: Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Modine uses derivative financial instruments from time to time as a tool to manage certain financial risks.  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 designated, and is effective, as a hedge and, if so, on the nature of the hedging activity.

Commodity Derivatives:  The Company has, from time to time, entered into futures contracts related to certain forecasted purchases of aluminum and copper.  The Company’s strategy in entering into these contracts was to reduce its exposure to changing market prices for future purchases of these commodities.  Until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, these contracts were designated as cash flow hedges by the Company.  Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses on these contracts were deferred as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (AOCI), and recognized as a component of earnings at the same time that the underlying purchases of aluminum and copper impact earnings.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the contracts used for aluminum and copper hedging became ineffective and the Company began recording the unrealized gains and losses within cost of sales.  The amounts recorded in AOCI will remain there until the underlying purchases of aluminum and copper impact earnings.  The Company did not enter into any futures contracts during the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

Foreign exchange contracts:  The Company’s foreign exchange risk management strategy uses derivative financial instruments in a limited way to mitigate foreign currency exchange risk.  The Company periodically enters into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge specific foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities.  The Company has not designated these contracts for hedge accounting.  Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses related to the change in fair value are recorded in other income and expense.  Gains and losses on these foreign currency contracts are offset by gains and losses recorded within the related assets and liabilities.

The fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments recorded in the consolidated balance sheets were as follows:

Note 15: 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 or currency rates.  These measurements are classified within Level 3.

Trading securities:  The Company’s trading securities, which are included within other current assets on the balance sheet, 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 and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  The fair values of money market investments have been determined to approximate their net asset values and are classified within Level 2 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 those derivatives are sold or transferred on a stand-alone basis.  The Company estimates the fair value of these derivative instruments based on dealer quotes.  These derivative instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Deferred compensation obligation:  The fair value of the Company’s deferred compensation obligation is recorded at the fair value of the investments held by the deferred compensation trust.  As described above, the fair values of the related trading securities are the market values from active markets and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  The fair values of money market investments have been determined to approximate their net asset values and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Note 18: Contingencies and Litigation

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

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

 
·
Cash and investments – reviewing cash deposits and short-term investments to ensure banks have credit ratings acceptable to the Company and that all short-term investments are maintained in secured or guaranteed instruments;
 
·
Accounts receivable - performing periodic customer credit evaluations and actively monitoring their financial condition and developing business news;
 
·
Pension assets – ensuring that investments within these plans provide appropriate diversification, monitoring of investment teams, ensuring that portfolio managers are adhering to the Company’s investment policies and directives, and ensuring that exposure to high risk investments is limited; and
 
·
Insurance – ensuring that insurance providers have financial ratings acceptable to the Company.

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

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

European value added tax:  During fiscal 2012, the Company determined that it was not properly applying value added tax (VAT) to various cross border transactions within the Europe segment.  At September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company had recorded an estimated liability for VAT exposures of $10,683, which consists of unpaid VAT and estimated interest and penalties that may be levied against the Company by taxing authorities.  The Company is in the process of reporting this matter to the applicable taxing authorities, and cannot provide assurance about the ultimate resolution at this time.  

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

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

The Company actively monitors and addresses environmental matters and has recorded environmental investigation and remediation accruals for groundwater contamination at its manufacturing facility in Brazil and subsurface contamination at its former manufacturing facility in the Netherlands, along with other lesser issues at certain facilities located in the United States.  These expenditures generally relate to facilities where past operations followed practices and procedures that were considered acceptable under then existing regulations, or where the Company is a successor to the obligations of prior owners and current laws and regulations require investigative and/or remedial work to ensure sufficient environmental compliance.  The reserves for these environmental matters totaled $5,887 and $6,946 at September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively.  During the six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, additional reserves of $110 and $934, respectively, were recorded as a component of continuing operations.  As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary.  Based on currently available information, Modine believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or overall trends in results of operations.  However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could occur, including significant monetary damages.  During fiscal 2011, one of the adjacent businesses to the Company’s operation in Brazil filed suit against Modine’s Brazilian subsidiary seeking remediation and certain other damages as a result of the contamination.  The Company is defending this suit and believes that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not be material.

Other litigation:  In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in various other lawsuits and enforcement proceedings by private parties, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, USEPA, other governmental agencies and others in which claims are asserted against Modine.  In the opinion of management, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such lawsuits are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 September 30, 2012 refers to the second quarter of fiscal 2013.

Second Quarter Highlights:  Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased from the second quarter of fiscal 2012 across all of our business segments, driven by weakening end market demand and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Gross margin declined slightly due to reduced sales volume partially offset by better pricing, favorable product mix and lower material costs year over year.  Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased from the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily due to lower compensation-related expense, the reversal of an acquisition-related liability in South America and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes year over year.  Asset impairment charges of $16.7 million were recorded during the quarter within the Europe and North America segments to reduce the carrying value of assets held for sale to their estimated fair value.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded a loss from continuing operations of $11.8 million, as compared to earnings from continuing operations of $1.0 million in the prior year.

Year-To-Date Highlights:  Net sales in the first six months of fiscal 2013 decreased from the first six months of fiscal 2012 across all of our business segments particularly within the automotive and commercial vehicle markets.  Gross margin decreased due to the lower sales volume.  SG&A expenses decreased year over year, yet remained the same as a percentage of sales.  Asset impairment charges of $16.7 million were recorded during the second quarter within the Europe and North America segments to reduce the carrying value of assets held for sale to their estimated fair value.  European restructuring and repositioning expense of $5.9 million negatively impacted results for the first six months of fiscal 2013.  The European restructuring plan is designed to align the cost structure of the segment with our strategic focus on the commercial vehicle, off-highway, and engine product markets.  As we continue our European restructuring plan, we expect to record additional impairment, restructuring and repositioning expenses in the second half of fiscal 2013 and beyond.  The loss from continuing operations of $12.9 million represents a significant decrease from the earnings from continuing operations of $13.6 million during the prior year.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – CONTINUING OPERATIONS

The results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 have been revised to reflect the correction of errors that were identified and corrected in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.  In addition, the results for the six months ended September 30, 2012 include an out-of-period adjustment in the first quarter related to certain commodity hedges.  See Note 2 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.  The following table presents consolidated results from continuing operations on a comparative basis for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Second quarter net sales of $339.9 million were 14.4 percent lower than the $397.3 million in the second quarter of last year, driven by decreases in overall sales volume due to weakening end market demand, the continued wind down of the non-strategic automotive module business in Europe, along with a $24.3 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes year over year.  Automotive market sales declined 28 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012, as we continue the strategic exit of the automotive module business.  Commercial vehicle and off-highway sales decreased 18 percent and 14 percent, respectively, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2012 as a result of weakened end market conditions.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, gross profit decreased $9.8 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2012 due to decreased sales volume and a $2.9 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Gross margin declined 20 basis points from 15.7 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to 15.5 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily due to reduced sales volume, partially offset by improved pricing, favorable product mix and lower material costs year over year.

SG&A expenses decreased $8.9 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to the second quarter of fiscal 2013, and decreased as a percentage of sales to 12.2 percent.  The decrease in SG&A expenses was due to lower compensation-related expense, the reversal of an acquisition-related liability of $2.0 million in South America and a $3.2 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes year over year.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, impairment charges of $16.7 million were recorded to reduce the carrying value of assets held for sale to their estimated fair value with $15.7 million recorded within the Europe segment and $1.0 million recorded within the North America segment.

Restructuring and repositioning expenses of $1.3 million were recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily due to headcount reductions under our restructuring plan in the Europe segment.

Loss from operations of $6.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 represents a $19.0 million decline from income from operations of $12.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.  This decrease was due to lower sales volume, $16.7 million of impairment charges and $1.3 million of restructuring and repositioning expenses during the quarter.
 
 
22


Other expense improved $6.3 million from $6.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to other income of $0.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013.  Second quarter fiscal 2012 included $6.4 million of foreign currency losses on inter-company loans and other transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, the provision for income taxes was $1.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively.  The provision for income taxes in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was the result of earnings in certain foreign jurisdictions.  The Company continued to record a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets located in the U.S., Germany and certain other foreign jurisdictions as it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized based on historical performance.  It is possible that by the end of fiscal 2013 or in fiscal 2014, the U.S. taxing jurisdiction will no longer be in a cumulative three year loss position thereby removing significant negative evidence concerning the valuation allowance.  The Company will continue to evaluate all positive and negative evidence to determine the propriety of the valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets of this jurisdiction.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, loss from continuing operations was $11.8 million compared to earnings from continuing operations of $1.0 million in the second quarter of the prior year.  Diluted loss per share of $0.26 represents a decrease of $0.29 from the diluted earnings per share of $0.03 in the prior year.  The losses in the second quarter include $16.7 million of impairment charges and $1.3 million of restructuring and repositioning expenses.

Comparison of Six Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Fiscal 2013 year-to-date net sales of $690.3 million decreased $124.9 million from the $815.2 million in the same period last year, driven by decreases in overall sales volume, along with a $47.9 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes year over year.  Automotive and commercial vehicle sales decreased 30 percent and 15 percent, respectively, compared to the first six months of fiscal 2012.

Fiscal 2013 year-to-date gross profit of $104.2 million decreased $28.0 million from the $132.2 million in the same period of fiscal 2012.  Gross margin decreased 110 basis points to 15.1 percent from 16.2 percent in the same period of fiscal 2012.  The decline in gross profit was driven by a decrease in overall sales volume, along with a $5.8 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes year over year.

Fiscal 2013 year-to-date SG&A expenses decreased $15.2 million from the same period last year yet remained the same as a percentage of sales.  The decrease in SG&A expenses was due to lower compensation-related expense, the reversal of an acquisition related liability and a $6.0 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes year over year.
 
During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, impairment charges of $16.7 million were recorded to reduce the carrying value of assets held for sale to their estimated fair value in the Europe and North America segments.

Restructuring and repositioning expenses of $5.9 million were recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily due to headcount reductions at our regional headquarters in Germany under the restructuring plan in the Europe segment.

Fiscal 2013 year-to-date loss from operations of $2.9 million decreased $35.4 million from the same period last year.  This decrease was largely due to the lower sales volume, $16.7 million of impairment charges and $5.9 million of restructuring and repositioning expenses.

Fiscal 2013 year-to-date other income of $0.3 million represents a $6.2 million increase from other expense of $5.9 million during the same period last year.  The first six months of fiscal 2012 included $5.9 million of foreign currency exchange losses on inter-company loans and other transactions denominated in foreign currencies.
 
 
23


During the first six months of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012, the provision for income taxes was $3.9 million and $6.7 million, respectively.  The year-to-date provision for income taxes was the result of earnings in various foreign jurisdictions and the full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets in the U.S., Germany and certain other foreign jurisdictions.

Loss from continuing operations of $12.9 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 was down $26.5 million from earnings from continuing operations of $13.6 million during the first six months of fiscal 2012.  In addition, diluted earnings (loss) per decreased from $0.30 diluted earnings per share in the prior year to $0.29 diluted loss per share in the current year.  The losses in fiscal 2013 include $16.7 million of impairment charges and $5.9 million of restructuring and repositioning expenses.

North America net sales decreased $5.4 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to the second quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily driven by lower sales to commercial vehicle markets and the continued wind down of a military program, partially offset by increased sales to off-highway customers.  Gross margin declined 120 basis points due to lower sales volume and higher warranty costs, partially offset by improved mix and lower material costs.  SG&A expenses increased $0.6 million year over year, primarily due to lower recovery of prototype and testing costs, partially offset by lower pension expense.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded $1.0 million of asset impairment charges related to two idle facilities.  Income from continuing operations decreased $4.1 million to $6.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily due to the impairment charges and reduced gross profit on lower sales volume.

Comparison of Six Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

North America year-to-date net sales decreased $8.5 million from the same period last year primarily driven by the wind down of certain automotive and military programs, partially offset by increased sales to off-highway customers.  Gross margin declined 10 basis points to 14.2 percent during the first half of fiscal 2013 primarily due to lower sales volume, partially offset by lower material costs.  SG&A expense decreased $1.5 million primarily due to lower pension expense.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded $1.0 million of asset impairment charges related to two idle facilities.  During the first half of fiscal 2013, income from continuing operations of $20.7 million declined $1.0 million from $21.7 million in the first six months of fiscal 2012.

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Europe net sales decreased $33.2 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to the second quarter of fiscal 2013, driven by the continued wind down of the automotive module business, a slowdown in demand in the commercial vehicle market, which caused delays in new program launches, and a $14.9 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Gross margin increased 160 basis points to 15.0 percent during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from 13.4 percent during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily driven by lower material costs and improved customer pricing, including the favorable impact of a $5.0 million customer pricing settlement.  SG&A expenses decreased $1.4 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily due to favorable foreign currency exchange rate changes.  In addition, asset impairment charges of $15.8 million were recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 related to several facilities held for sale.  Income from continuing operations decreased $18.2 million over the periods presented mainly due to impairment charges and decreased gross profit on lower sales volume.

Comparison of Six Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Europe year-to-date net sales decreased $74.6 million from the same period last year, driven by the continued wind down of the automotive module business, a slowdown in demand in the commercial vehicle market, which caused delays in new program launches, and a $30.2 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Gross profit decreased $13.2 million during the first six months of fiscal 2013 to $32.5 million from the prior year due to sales volume decreases and a $3.9 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by improved customer pricing and lower material costs.  SG&A expenses decreased $4.9 million primarily due to a $4.4 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  In addition, asset impairment charges of $15.8 million were recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 related to several facilities held for sale.  During the first six months of fiscal 2013, we recorded restructuring and repositioning expenses of $5.9 million primarily due to headcount reductions.  The European restructuring plan is designed to align the cost structure of the segment with the strategic focus on the commercial vehicle market.  As we continue our European restructuring plan, we expect to record additional impairment, restructuring and repositioning expenses in the second half of fiscal 2013 and beyond.  Income from continuing operations decreased $30.0 million from the first six months of fiscal 2012 to the first six months of fiscal 2013 mainly due to $15.8 million of impairment charges, $5.9 million of restructuring and repositioning expenses and lower gross profit on lower sales volume.

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

South America net sales decreased $13.9 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 due to the continued weakness in the commercial vehicle market following the pre-buy ahead of the January 1, 2012 change in emission standards, aftermarket sales declines due to local economic conditions and an unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $8.4 million.  Gross profit decreased $3.1 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 to $5.8 million from the prior year due to sales volume decreases and a $1.4 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  SG&A expense decreased $4.7 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to second quarter of fiscal 2013, due to the reversal of a $2.0 million acquisition-related liability and lower environmental remediation and outbound freight costs.  Income from continuing operations increased $1.6 million over the periods presented due to lower SG&A expenses, partially offset by lower gross profit on reduced sales volume.

Comparison of Six Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

South America year-to-date net sales decreased $30.6 million from the same period last year due to the continued weakness in the commercial vehicle market following the pre-buy ahead of the January 1, 2012 change in emission standards, aftermarket sales declines due to local economic conditions and an unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes of $15.5 million.  Gross profit decreased $7.3 million during the first six months of fiscal 2013 to $10.5 million from the prior year due to sales volume decreases and a $2.5 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  SG&A expenses decreased $6.4 million due to the reversal of a $2.0 million acquisition-related liability, lower outbound freight costs and a $1.5 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Income from continuing operations decreased $0.9 million from the first six months of fiscal 2012 to the first six months of fiscal 2013 due to lower gross profit on reduced sales volume, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses.

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Asia net sales decreased $6.2 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 due to a decrease in non-strategic vehicular heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) sales, lower automotive module sales and a decline in the off-highway vehicular market due to the slowing economic conditions in China.  Gross margin decreased to 0.2 percent during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 from a gross margin of 9.1 percent one year ago due primarily to lower sales volume and costs associated with converting the Shanghai manufacturing facility to a high volume oil cooler production facility. The loss from continuing operations increased $1.5 million to $2.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 versus the prior year due to the lower gross profit.

Comparison of Six Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Asia year-to-date net sales decreased $11.7 million from the same period last year due to a decrease in automotive module sales as we continue the strategic exit of the automotive module business and a decline in the off-highway vehicular market as demand in the construction equipment market in China continues to be weak.  Gross profit decreased to $0.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2013 from a gross profit of $4.9 million during the first six months of fiscal 2012 due to lower sales volume and costs associated with converting the Shanghai manufacturing facility to a high volume oil cooler production facility.  The year-to-date loss from continuing operations of $4.6 million represents a $4.7 million decline from the prior year income from continuing operations of $0.1 million primarily due to lower gross profit on lower sales volume.

Commercial Products net sales decreased $1.3 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to the second quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily due to decreased sales in the United Kingdom as a result of continued weak economic conditions.  Gross margin improved 60 basis points from 29.3 percent during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to 29.9 percent during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 primarily due to product mix and the impact of manufacturing cost savings initiatives.  SG&A expenses increased slightly from the prior year due to the acquisition of Geofinity Manufacturing (“Geofinity”) during the second quarter of fiscal 2013.  This acquisition provides Modine with a full line of innovative geothermal heat pumps in both water-to-water and water-to-air models.  Income from continuing operations decreased $0.3 million over the periods presented primarily due to the lower gross profit.

Comparison of Six Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Commercial Products year-to-date net sales decreased $5.2 million from the same period last year due to decreased sales volumes in the United Kingdom as a result of continued weak economic conditions, the impact of a stronger currency versus competitors in mainland Europe and a $0.6 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Gross margin decreased from 28.6 percent during the first six months of fiscal 2012 to 28.2 percent during the first six months of fiscal 2013 primarily due to lower sales volume.  SG&A expenses increased $0.9 million from the first six months of fiscal 2012 to the first six months of fiscal 2013 due to expenses associated with new products and the acquisition of Geofinity during the second quarter.  Income from continuing operations decreased $2.7 million to $3.6 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013 primarily due to decreased gross profit on lower sales volume and increased SG&A expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operating activities, our cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2012 of $29.6 million and available borrowings of $187.0 million under lines of credit provided by banks in the United States and abroad.  See Note 13 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our debt agreements.

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended September 30, 2012 was $26.8 million, which was a $23.6 million increase from $3.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2011.  This increase in operating cash flows was primarily due to favorable reductions in net working capital.  Capital expenditures during the first six months of fiscal 2013 were $20.7 million compared to $32.5 million during the same period in fiscal 2012.  This decrease in capital expenditures was primarily due to the timing of expenditures for new program launches.  In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we paid $4.9 million in cash for the Geofinity acquisition.

Debt Covenants

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

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

We expect to remain in compliance with our debt covenants through the remainder of fiscal 2013 and beyond.

Outlook

For the remainder of fiscal 2013, we expect weak economic conditions in several key geographic markets, including Europe, South America, and Asia.  Also, for the full fiscal year, we expect approximately $80 million of planned program reductions due to the wind down of our BMW business in Europe and Asia and certain automotive and military programs in North America.  Due to these factors, as well as unfavorable foreign exchange impacts, our current expectations for fiscal 2013 are a 10 to 12 percent decrease in net sales compared with our fiscal 2012 results.  We also expect operating income margin in a range of 2.75 to 3.25 percent of net sales, excluding the impact of impairment and European restructuring charges, for fiscal 2013.  As noted previously, we are implementing a restructuring program designed to align our cost structure and manufacturing base in Europe with a strategic focus on the commercial vehicle, off-highway and engine product markets.  Finally, we expect diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $0.40 to $0.50, excluding the impact of impairment and European restructuring charges.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company’s market risk disclosures have not materially changed since the fiscal 2012 Form 10-K was filed.  The Company’s quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are incorporated by reference from Part II, Item 7A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation Regarding Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, at the direction of the General Counsel and under the supervision of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), with the participation of the Company’s management. Based upon that evaluation and the identification of a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as described in Part II, Item 9A of the Company’s fiscal 2012 Form 10-K, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of September 30, 2012.

As more fully set forth in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures,” of the fiscal 2012 Form 10-K, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2012 because of the existence at that date of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The Company has developed and is implementing a plan, including additional and improved control procedures, to remediate the material weakness.  These remediation efforts, outlined below, are intended both to address the identified material weakness and to enhance the overall financial control environment:

Misapplication of value added tax (VAT) deficiency in the Europe segment.  The following remediation plans are being implemented to address the value added tax deficiency:

·
Appoint a global process owner who is responsible for overseeing the Company’s compliance with VAT regulations, including directing the establishment of internal VAT policies and procedures;
·
Develop policies and procedures necessary to properly comply with the VAT regulations, with specific focus on cross-border transactions that could impact multiple taxing jurisdictions;
·
Develop a training module and train a cross-functional team of personnel in finance, sales, purchasing, and other applicable Company departments on the newly developed VAT policies;
 
 
31

 
·
Improve existing internal controls over VAT to include specific consideration of tooling sales and fixed asset transfers prior to invoice issuance in accordance with applicable VAT regulations;
·
Implement monitoring controls to evaluate compliance with the internal policies and applicable VAT regulations;
·
