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 by Modine Manufacturing Company (Modine or the Company) for the year ended March 31, 2011.  The financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.  Results for the first six months of fiscal 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

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

Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies and Change in Accounting Principles

Restricted cash:  At September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the Company had long-term restricted cash of $4,173 and $4,682, respectively, included in other noncurrent assets, consisting of $1,823 and $2,332, respectively, to secure long-term employee compensation arrangements for certain employees in Europe and $2,350 to collateralize insurance liabilities with an insurance carrier in North America.

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

Revision of prior period financial statements:  As described in Note 1 and Note 26 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Modine’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011, the quarterly results for fiscal 2011 have been revised as a result of errors identified during fiscal 2011 which were not considered material individually or in the aggregate to previously issued financial statements but were considered significant to the quarters in which they were identified.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, cost of goods sold increased $1,858, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $260, provision for income taxes decreased $190 and earnings from continuing operations decreased $1,928 as a result of the revisions.  For the six months ended September 30, 2010, net sales increased $363, cost of goods sold increased $1,919, gross profit decreased $1,556, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $611, provision for income taxes increased $139 and earnings from continuing operations decreased $2,306 as a result of the revisions.  For the three and six months ended September 30, 2010, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations and diluted net earnings per share decreased $0.04 and $0.05, respectively, as a result of these revisions.

Out of period adjustmentsDuring the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company identified two items that should have been recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2012, but were instead corrected in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.  Such errors overstated fiscal 2012 first quarter net income by approximately $438, and related to (1) an understatement of foreign currency transactions gains of $197, included in other expense (income) – net; and (2) an understatement of income tax expense of $635.  The adjustments were not considered material to the financial statements of either the first quarter or second quarter of fiscal 2012.
 
Accounting standards changes and new accounting pronouncements:  In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued updated guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables, which addresses the unit of accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements and revises the method by which consideration is allocated among the units of accounting.  The overall consideration is allocated to each deliverable by establishing a selling price for individual deliverables based on a hierarchy of evidence, including vendor-specific objective evidence, other third party evidence of the selling price, or the reporting entity’s best estimate of the selling price of individual deliverables in the arrangement.  This guidance was effective for the Company on a prospective basis on April 1, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

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

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

Note 3: Employee Benefit Plans

During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded compensation expense of $655 and $739, respectively, related to its defined contribution employee benefit plans. During the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded compensation expense of $1,885 and $2,008, respectively, related to its defined contribution employee benefit plans.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company elected to contribute $2,150 and $1,649, respectively, to its U.S. pension plans.   During the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company elected to contribute $7,200 and $12,099, respectively, to its U.S. pension plans.

Note 4: Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation consists of stock options, restricted stock granted for retention and performance and discretionary unrestricted stock.  Compensation 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 $1,738 and $944 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Modine recognized stock-based compensation costs of $2,578 and $2,516 for the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The performance component of awards granted under the long-term incentive plan during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 is based on a target return on average capital employed (ROACE) and a target improvement in economic profit at the end of the three year performance period.  The Company currently considers the attainment of these performance targets to be probable.  ROACE is defined as net earnings, adding back after-tax interest expense and adjusted to exclude unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary non-cash charges and cash restructuring and repositioning charges in excess of $4,000; divided by the average total debt plus shareholders’ equity.  Economic profit is defined as ROACE minus a fixed weighted average cost of capital, multiplied by total debt plus shareholders’ equity.

The following tables present, by type, the fair market value of stock-based compensation awards granted during the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010:

For the six months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s effective tax rate attributable to earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes was 30.5 percent and 4,389.1 percent, respectively.

The most significant factors impacting changes in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to prior periods were changes in the valuation allowance for certain foreign losses for which no benefit is recognized and the changing mix of foreign and domestic earnings.  During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company continued to record a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets located in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions as it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized based on historical performance.  One of the Company’s Chinese subsidiaries currently has a $687 valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as a result of its cumulative loss position; however, it is possible that the valuation allowance may be released later this fiscal year as the subsidiary becomes profitable.

Accounting policies for interim reporting require the Company to adjust its effective tax rate each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax rate.  Under this effective tax rate methodology, the Company applies an estimated annual income tax rate to its year-to-date ordinary earnings to derive its income tax provision each quarter.  The tax impact of certain significant, unusual or infrequently occurring items must be recorded in the interim period in which they occur. For the six months ended September 30, 2011, the U.S. taxing jurisdiction had year-to-date pre-tax earnings and is also forecasting pre-tax earnings for the full fiscal year.  As a result, the U.S. taxing jurisdiction is no longer considered on a discrete basis but is included in the overall annual effective tax rate methodology.  The impact of the Company’s operations in Germany, Austria and certain other foreign locations are excluded from the overall effective tax rate methodology and recorded discretely based upon year-to-date results as these operations anticipate net operating losses for the year for which no tax benefit can be recognized.  The income taxes for the Company’s other foreign operations continue to be estimated under the overall effective tax rate methodology.

During fiscal 2005, a German lower court ruling disallowed certain deductions for trade tax purposes.  Based on this ruling, the Company established an uncertain tax position contingency for additional trade tax liability and interest.  During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the German Supreme Court affirmed the lower court finding.  As a result, the uncertain tax position established was reversed and amended tax returns for the fiscal years 2005 through 2010 are being filed resulting in an income tax payable for taxes and interest owed of $2,724.  During the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, a benefit for income taxes of $140 and $101, respectively was recorded based on the finalization of the amended tax returns.

The Company does not anticipate the gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change in the next twelve months other than that which will result from the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitation.  The Company files income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world.  During the six months ended September 30, 2011, the Company has not been notified of any examinations of open tax periods.

Note 13: Indebtedness

The Company has $125,000 outstanding on 6.83 percent Senior Notes, maturing on August 12, 2020.  As of September 30, 2011, the Company also had $20,000 outstanding under its $145,000 domestic revolving credit facility, which expires in August 2014.  At March 31, 2011, the Company had $6,500 outstanding on this domestic revolving credit facility.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company entered into the current $125,000 Senior Notes; the proceeds of which were used to repay the then existing Senior Notes.  The Company recognized a loss of $17,866 on early extinguishment of debt as a component of interest expense, which included the prepayment penalty of $16,570 and $1,296 of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Provisions contained in the Company’s revolving credit facility and Senior Note agreements require the Company to maintain compliance with various covenants.  The Company was in compliance with its covenants as of September 30, 2011.

Modine also maintained credit agreements with foreign banks at September 30, 2011.  The Company has $6,585 outstanding under these credit agreements.  There was no amount outstanding under such credit agreements at March 31, 2011.

At September 30, 2011, the Company had $125,000 available for future borrowings under the domestic revolving credit facility.  In addition to this revolving credit facility, unused lines of credit also exist in Europe, Brazil and China, totaling $35,123. The availability of these funds is subject to the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with the covenants and limitations in the respective debt agreements.

The fair value of long-term debt is estimated by discounting future cash flows at rates offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities.  At September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the carrying value of Modine’s long-term debt approximated fair value, with the exception of the Senior Notes, which had a fair value of approximately $109,172 and $121,463 at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively.

At September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the Company had short-term debt of $10,900 and $8,825, respectively, primarily consisting of short-term borrowings at foreign locations.

Note 14: Financial Instruments

Concentrations of Credit Risk: The Company invests excess cash in investment quality short-term liquid debt instruments.  Such investments are made only in instruments issued by high quality institutions. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable.  The Company sells a broad range of products that provide thermal solutions to a diverse group of customers operating throughout the world.  At September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, approximately 51 percent and 47 percent, respectively, of the Company's trade accounts receivables were from the Company's top ten individual customers.  These customers operate primarily in the automotive, truck and heavy equipment markets and are all influenced by many of the same market and general economic factors.  To reduce credit risk, the Company performs periodic customer credit evaluations and actively monitors their financial condition and developing business news.  The Company does not generally require collateral or advanced payments from its customers, but does so in those cases where a substantial credit risk is identified.  Credit losses to customers operating in the markets served by the Company have not been material.  Total bad debt write-offs have been below one percent of outstanding trade receivable balances for the presented periods.  See Note 19 for further discussion on market, credit and counterparty risks.

Inter-Company Loans Denominated in Foreign Currencies:  The Company has certain foreign-denominated inter-company loans that are sensitive to foreign exchange rates.  The Company had inter-company loans outstanding at September 30, 2011 as follows:

 
·
$17,174 among three loans to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal Systems Private Limited (Modine India), with various maturities through December 2015;
 
·
$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;
 
·
$2,008 loan to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Holding GmbH, which matures on January 31, 2020;
 
·
$1,300 between two loans to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal Systems Korea, with various maturity dates through April 2012; and
 
·
$4,420 receivable with its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine do Brasil Sistemas Termicos Ltda. (Modine Brazil).

These inter-company loans are sensitive to movement in foreign exchange rates, and the Company does not have any derivative instruments to hedge this exposure at September 30, 2011.

Note 15: Derivatives/Hedges

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

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

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

Interest rate derivatives:  In conjunction with the repayment of then existing Senior Notes during the three months ended September 30, 2010, the remaining unamortized balance for the interest rate derivatives of $1,606 was reflected as a component of interest expense.

The fair value of the derivative financial instruments recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011 are as follows:

Note 16: Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

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

When available, the Company used quoted market prices to determine fair value and classified 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.  The fair values of money market investments have been determined to approximate their net asset values, with no discounts for credit quality or liquidity restrictions and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.  These short term investments are included in other current assets.

Derivative financial instruments
As part of the Company’s risk management strategy, Modine enters into derivative transactions to mitigate certain identified exposures.  The derivative instruments include commodity derivatives.  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.

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

At September 30, 2011, the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified as follows:

Note 19: Contingencies and Litigation

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

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

 
·
Cash and investments – reviewing cash deposits and short-term investments to ensure banks have credit ratings acceptable to the Company and that all short-term investments are maintained in secured or guaranteed instruments;
 
·
Pension assets – ensuring that investments within these plans provide reasonable diversification, monitoring of investment teams and ensuring that portfolio managers are adhering to the Company’s investment policies and directives, and ensuring that exposure to high risk securities and other similar assets is limited; and
 
·
Insurance – ensuring that insurance providers have acceptable financial ratings to the Company.

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

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

Trade Compliance:  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company determined that it was not in compliance with certain trade regulations related to import and export activity between its warehouse in Laredo, Texas and its plant in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.  The Company believes that the trade regulation issues are limited to operations at the Laredo warehouse and the Nuevo Laredo plant.  As part of the investigation process, the Company has disclosed these trade compliance issues to the appropriate government agencies and will fully cooperate with these agencies in their review, if any.  At March 31, 2011, the Company recorded an estimated liability for the trade regulation issues of $4,528, which consisted of an estimate for unpaid duties, potential interest and penalties which may be levied against the Company by the government agencies.  The Company made a voluntary payment of $2,090 to one government agency during the six months ended September 30, 2011 and the agency subsequently closed the matter, with no expectation of further investigation.  At September 30, 2011, the Company had a reserve of $2,438 for remaining trade compliance regulation issues.  There can be no assurance about the ultimate resolution of these issues at this time, particularly given the involvement of multiple government agencies.

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

The Company actively monitors and addresses environmental issues and has recorded environmental investigation, cleanup and remediation expense accruals for groundwater contamination at its manufacturing facility in Brazil and subsurface contamination at its former manufacturing facility in the Netherlands, along with other minor 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 undiscounted reserves for these environmental matters totaled $7,097 and $7,371 at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively.  Additional reserves of $863 and $934 were recorded as a component of continuing operations during the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.  The majority of the increase is the result of the development of a formal remediation plan during the three months ended September 30, 2011 for the groundwater contamination issue in Brazil. Reductions to the reserves of $377 and $486 were recorded as a component of earnings from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, related to the former Netherlands facility.  Additional reserves of $2,900 and $2,932 were recorded during the three and six months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, as a component of loss from discontinued operations related to the former Netherlands facility.  Certain of these matters are covered by various insurance policies; however, the Company does not record any insurance recoveries until they are realized or realizable.  As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary.  Based on currently available information, Modine believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or overall trends in results of operations.  However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could occur, including significant monetary damages.  During fiscal 2011, one of the neighbors of the operation in Brazil filed suit against Modine’s Brazilian subsidiary seeking remediation and certain other damages as a result of the contamination.  The Company is defending this suit and believes that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not be material.
 
Other litigation:  In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in various other lawsuits and enforcement proceedings by private parties, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, USEPA, other governmental agencies and others in which claims are asserted against Modine.  At September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the Company did not have an accrual related to any such matters as they were not deemed probable.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
When we use the terms “Modine,” “we,” “us,” the “Company,” or “our” in this report, unless the context otherwise requires, we are referring to Modine Manufacturing Company.  Our fiscal year ends on March 31 and, accordingly, all references to quarters refer to our fiscal quarters.  The quarter ended September 30, 2011 refers to the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

Second Quarter Highlights:  Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 improved significantly from the second quarter of fiscal 2011 across all of our business segments, particularly within the commercial vehicle markets in Europe, North America and South America, as well as the off-highway market in Asia. Gross margin decreased due to higher material costs year over year.  Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased from the second quarter of fiscal 2011 to the second quarter of fiscal 2012, as anticipated, primarily to support growth in Asia and Commercial Products.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we recorded earnings from continuing operations of approximately $0.6 million, which improved significantly over the prior year. Interest expense decreased from the second quarter of fiscal 2011 to the second quarter of fiscal 2012 due to approximately $20.0 million of costs related to the long-term debt refinancing in the prior year.  Other expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 includes $6.2 million of losses due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Year-To-Date Highlights:  Net sales in the first six months of fiscal 2012 improved significantly from the first six months of fiscal 2011 across all of our business segments particularly within the commercial vehicle and off-highway markets.  Gross margin decreased due to a postretirement curtailment gain recorded during fiscal 2011 and higher material costs year over year.  SG&A expenses increased year over year, as anticipated, yet decreased as a percentage of sales.  Interest expense decreased significantly due to the absence of costs related to debt refinancing completed in fiscal 2011.  During the first six months of fiscal 2012, we recorded earnings from continuing operations of approximately $13.7 million, which improved significantly over the prior year.

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

Second quarter net sales of $397.3 million were 15 percent higher than the $345.9 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, driven by increases in overall sales volumes, along with a $17.5 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes year over year.  Commercial vehicle sales improved approximately 25 percent compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, gross profit increased $6.2 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2011 on the increased sales volumes and a $2.4 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Gross margin decreased 50 basis points from 16.1 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 to 15.6 percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 partially due to increased commodity costs year over year and change in product mix.

SG&A expenses increased $3.4 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2011 to the second quarter of fiscal 2012, yet decreased as a percentage of sales to 12.6 percent.  The increase in SG&A expenses is due to the support of growth in Asia and Commercial Products segments, timing of stock based compensation awards granted in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 versus the first quarter fiscal 2011, an environmental remediation charge of $0.8 million in South America, along with a $1.5 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes year over year.  In addition, the second quarter of fiscal 2011 included long-lived asset impairment charges of $1.2 million in our Original Equipment – Europe and Original Equipment – Asia segments related to a program cancellation.

Income from operations improved $2.8 million from $9.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 to $11.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.  The impact of higher sales volumes was the primary factor contributing to this improvement in results from operations.

Interest expense decreased $20.2 million over the comparable quarter, driven by $20.0 million of costs related to the debt refinancing in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, which included a $16.6 million prepayment penalty to the holders of the then outstanding senior notes, $1.7 million write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and $1.6 million write-off of interest rate derivatives related to those senior notes.

Other expense of $6.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 represents an $11.6 million decrease from other income of $5.6 million over the same period last year.  Second quarter fiscal 2012 included $6.2 million of foreign currency losses on inter-company loans and other transactions denominated in foreign currencies.  Second quarter fiscal 2011 included $5.4 million of foreign currency gains on inter-company loans and other transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we recorded a $2.0 million provision for income taxes, which represents an effective tax rate of 76.1 percent.  This compares to a $4.8 million provision for income taxes recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, which represents an effective tax rate of 54.4 percent.  Changes in the valuation allowance related to certain foreign losses for which no benefit has been recognized and the changing mix of foreign and domestic earnings impacted the effective tax rate year over year.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we recorded earnings from continuing operations of $0.6 million, as compared to a loss from continuing operations of $13.7 million in the second quarter of the prior year.  In addition, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.01, represents an increase of $0.31 from the diluted loss per share of $0.30 in the prior year.  These increases were primarily related to increased sales volumes and the absence of costs associated with the long-term debt refinancing in the prior year partially offset by foreign currency transaction losses.

Comparison of Six Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

Fiscal 2012 year-to-date net sales of $815.2 million improved $123.8 million from the $691.4 million reported in the same period last year, driven by increases in overall sales volumes, along with a $45.1 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes year over year.  Commercial vehicle and automotive sales increased approximately 30 percent and 20 percent, respectively, compared to the first six months of fiscal 2011.

Fiscal 2012 year-to-date gross profit of $131.5 million increased $16.8 million from the $114.7 million, while gross margin decreased to 16.1 percent from 16.6 percent reported in the same period of fiscal 2011.  The gross profit improvement is driven by increases in overall sales volumes, along with a $6.9 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by increased commodity costs year over year.  In addition, fiscal 2011 included a $2.1 million postretirement curtailment gain recorded in our Original Equipment - North America segment.

Fiscal 2012 year-to-date SG&A expenses increased $10.6 million from the same period last year due to higher employee benefits, such as salary increases and increased headcount and an environmental remediation charge of $0.8 million in South America, along with a $4.0 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.  However, SG&A expenses decreased 70 basis points as a percentage of sales.  

Fiscal 2012 year-to-date operating income of $31.9 million improved $6.1 million from the same period last year.  This improvement is largely due to the higher sales volume and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.

Fiscal 2012 year-to-date interest expense decreased $21.3 million over the same period last year, largely due to the $20.0 million of costs related to the debt refinancing in fiscal 2011.

Fiscal 2012 year-to-date other expense of $5.9 million represents a $7.9 million decrease from other income of $2.0 million during fiscal 2011.  The decrease was due to foreign currency exchange losses on inter-company loans denominated in a foreign currency as well as other unfavorable impacts of foreign currency exchange rate changes.

During the first six months of fiscal 2012, we recorded a $6.0 million provision for income taxes, which represents an effective tax rate of 30.5 percent.  This compares to an $8.9 million provision for income taxes recorded during the first six months of fiscal 2011, which represents an effective tax rate of 4,389.1 percent.  The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily related to foreign tax rate differentials, changes in the valuation allowance and the changing mix of foreign and domestic earnings.

Earnings from continuing operations of $13.7 million for the first six months of fiscal 2012, represents a $22.4 million improvement from the prior year. In addition, diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations improved from a $0.19 diluted loss per share in the prior year to $0.29 diluted earnings per share in the current year.  The improvement in earnings (loss) from continuing operations was related to an increase in sales volumes and the absence of costs associated with the long-term debt refinancing.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the second quarter of fiscal 2012 we recorded $0.4 million of income as a component of earnings (loss) from discontinued operations due to a reduction of the environmental reserve related to a facility in the Netherlands that was sold as part of the spin-off of our Aftermarket business on July 22, 2005.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we recorded $2.9 million of environmental cleanup and remediation expenses as a component of earnings (loss) from discontinued operations related to this same facility.

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

The Original Equipment – Asia segment is still in the expansion phase and is currently launching numerous programs.  Net sales increased $7.3 million from the second quarter of fiscal 2011 to the second quarter of fiscal 2012 primarily due to increased program launch activity within the off-highway markets in China and the commercial vehicle market in India.  Gross margin improved to 9.1 percent during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 from a gross margin of 5.6 percent one year ago.  This performance is primarily driven by increased sales volumes resulting in better utilization of our facilities. A long-lived asset impairment charge of $0.3 million was recorded in SG&A expense during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 related to a program cancellation.  The loss from continuing operations improved over the periods presented due to the improved gross margin.

Comparison of Six Months Ended September 30, 2011 and 2010

Original Equipment – Asia year-to-date net sales increased $16.5 million from the same period last year due to increased program launch activity within the off-highway markets in China and Korea and the commercial vehicle market in India.  Gross margin improved to 11.9 percent for the first six months of fiscal 2012 from a gross margin of 7.5 percent during the first six months of fiscal 2011.  A long-lived asset impairment charge of $0.3 million was recorded in SG&A expense during the second quarter of fiscal 2011 related to a program cancellation.  The income from continuing operations of $0.1 million represents a $1.7 million increase from the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

Debt Covenants

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

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

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

In September 2011, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting guidance for testing goodwill for impairment.  The amendment provides an option for companies to first use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment if certain conditions are met.  If it is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, entities must perform the quantitative analysis of the goodwill impairment test.  The amendments are effective for goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  We are assessing this new guidance and currently do not anticipate a material impact on the 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, 2011 (2011 Form 10-K).  We are currently unable to determine the impact on our contractual obligations from the ultimate timing of settlement of the gross liability for uncertain tax positions, which was $1.2 million as of September 30, 2011.

Outlook

Our expectations for fiscal 2012 include a 12 to 16 percent increase in net sales compared to our fiscal 2011 results.  Specifically, we expect continued recovery in the commercial vehicle markets and slight improvement in off-highway markets in North America, growth in the off-highway markets in Asia as we launch new programs, improvement in the commercial vehicle and off-highway markets in Europe, modest improvements in our commercial products markets and improvements in commercial vehicle and construction markets in South America.  We expect that the positive impact of the sales volume improvements on our results from operations will result in operating income in a range of 4.1 to 4.7 percent of sales.  Further, we expect diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $0.95 to $1.05 and capital spending in the range of $70 to $75 million.

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

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

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

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

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

·

33

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

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

Market Risks:

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

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

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

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

Financial Risks:

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

·
Modine’s ability to realize future tax benefits.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company’s market risk disclosures have not materially changed since the 2011 Form 10-K was filed.  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, 2011.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation Regarding Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, at the direction of the General Counsel and under the supervision of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), with the participation of the Company’s management. Based upon that evaluation and the identification of material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as described in the 2011 Form 10-K, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of September 30, 2011.
 
 
34

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

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

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

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

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

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

 
·
The Company is obtaining certificates of origin for all new products that are qualified under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in accordance with regulatory requirements;
 
·
The Company is in the process of drafting an export compliance manual for its Laredo, Texas warehouse, as well as an import compliance manual and export compliance manual for its Nuevo Laredo, Mexico facility; and
 
·
The Company held training on U.S. customs requirements for management at its global headquarters in Racine, Wisconsin and for employees at the Nuevo Laredo, Mexico manufacturing facility and the Laredo, Texas.

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