MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In millions, 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, 2016. 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 three months of fiscal 2017 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, 2016.

New accounting guidance:  In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences. This guidance is effective for the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new comprehensive lease accounting guidance that supersedes existing lease accounting guidance. Upon adoption of this new guidance, the Company will be required to recognize most leases on its balance sheet. This guidance is effective for the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance that outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The core principle of the new guidance is that companies are to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements intended to provide users of financial statements with comprehensive information about revenue arising from contracts with customers. This new guidance is effective for the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Airedale Facility Fire

In September 2013, a fire caused significant destruction to the Company’s Airedale manufacturing facility and offices in Rawdon (Leeds), United Kingdom.  The Company reports Airedale’s financial results within the Building HVAC segment.  There were no injuries caused by the fire.  The Rawdon facility, which is leased, was used to manufacture cooling products and solutions for a variety of applications, including data centers, clean rooms, retail, leisure and process cooling.  The Company suspended operations at the Rawdon site as a result of the fire; however, it transferred operations to temporary facilities while it rebuilt the leased facility.  The Company completed the reconstruction and relocation to the Rawdon facility in fiscal 2016.

The Company’s insurance covered damage to the leased facility, equipment, inventory, and other assets, as well as business interruption and lost profits, and recovery-related expenses caused by the fire.  Since the date of the fire, the Company has received cash proceeds totaling $99.0 million from its insurance provider for covered losses, and recorded losses and costs caused by the fire in the same statement of operations line as the related insurance recovery.

Note 3: Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. 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 are observable in active markets.
· Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs are not observable.

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

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term debt approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company holds trading securities in a deferred compensation trust to fund obligations under Modine’s non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The securities’ fair values, which are recorded as other noncurrent assets, are determined based on quoted prices from active markets and classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company’s deferred compensation obligations, which are recorded as other noncurrent liabilities, are recorded at the fair values of the investments held by the trust. The fair values of the Company’s trading securities and deferred compensation obligations each totaled $3.3 million and $3.2 million at June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively.  The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is disclosed in Note 14.

Note 4: Pensions

During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company contributed $1.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, to its U.S. pension plans.  Pension cost included the following components:

Note 5: Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s stock-based incentive programs consist of the following: (1) a long-term incentive compensation program for officers and executives that consists of restricted stock and stock options granted for retention and performance, (2) a discretionary equity program for management and other key employees, and (3) stock awards and/or stock options for non-employee directors.

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 award. The Company recognized stock-based compensation cost of $1.4 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The performance component of awards granted under the Company’s long-term incentive plan during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 is based upon a target three-year average consolidated return on average capital employed and three-year average revenue growth.

The fair value of stock-based compensation awards granted during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

Note 6: Restructuring Activities

During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company substantially completed a voluntary retirement program for certain U.S. salaried employees and implemented targeted headcount reductions at several locations.  These restructuring activities are part of the Company’s Strengthen, Diversify and Grow transformational initiative and support the objective of reducing operational and selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) cost structures.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company announced a plan to close its Washington, Iowa manufacturing facility and recorded severance costs as a result.  The Company is currently transferring the facility’s production to other Americas segment manufacturing facilities, which it expects to complete in the second half of fiscal 2017.  Also during the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company substantially completed the transfer of production from its McHenry, Illinois manufacturing facility, which is now closed.  These restructuring activities reflect the Company’s focus on operating scale manufacturing facilities to improve overall competitiveness and profitability.

In addition, the Company continues to execute restructuring activities within its Europe segment. These restructuring activities have included implementing headcount reductions, exiting certain non-core product lines based upon Modine’s global product strategy, reducing manufacturing costs, consolidating production facilities, and disposing of and selling certain underperforming or non-strategic assets.  The Company designed these activities to align the cost structure of the segment with its strategic focus on the commercial vehicle, off-highway, automotive component, and engine product markets, while improving gross margin and return on average capital employed.

Restructuring and repositioning expenses were as follows:

(a) Foreign currency transactions primarily consist of foreign currency transaction gains and losses on the re-measurement or settlement of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities, including intercompany loans and transactions denominated in a foreign currency, along with gains and losses on foreign currency exchange contracts.

Note 8: Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 25.2 percent and 37.5 percent, respectively.

The most significant factors impacting the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016, as compared with the prior-year period, were changes in the valuation allowance related to certain foreign jurisdictions and changes in the mix of foreign and domestic earnings.  At June 30, 2016, the Company continued to record a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions ($44.3 million) and a valuation allowance against certain U.S. deferred tax assets ($5.4 million), as it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized based on historical financial results.  The Company will continue to provide a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in each of the applicable jurisdictions until the need for a valuation allowance is eliminated.  The need for a valuation allowance is eliminated when the Company determines it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized.  It is possible that in fiscal 2017 or in fiscal 2018, the Company may release a portion (approximately $6.0 million) of its existing valuation allowance in a foreign jurisdiction if it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Accounting policies for interim reporting require the Company to adjust its effective tax rate each quarter to be consistent with its estimated annual effective tax rate.  Under this methodology, the Company applies its estimated annual income tax rate to its year-to-date ordinary earnings to derive its income tax provision each quarter. The Company records the tax impacts of certain significant, unusual or infrequently occurring items in the period in which they occur.  The Company excluded the impact of its operations in certain foreign locations from the overall effective tax rate methodology and recorded them discretely based upon year-to-date results because the Company anticipates net operating losses for the full fiscal year in these jurisdictions.  The Company does not anticipate a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.

Note 14: Indebtedness

The Company holds $125.0 million of 6.8 percent Senior Notes, with principal repayments beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2017 and continuing through fiscal 2021.  The Company also maintains a $175.0 million domestic revolving credit facility, which expires in August 2018.  At June 30, 2016, the Company borrowed $5.0 million under this revolving credit facility.  At March 31, 2016, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under this revolving credit facility.

The Company also maintains credit agreements for its foreign subsidiaries, with outstanding short-term borrowings at June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016 of $32.5 million and $28.6 million, respectively.  At June 30, 2016, the Company’s foreign unused lines of credit totaled $28.0 million.  In aggregate, the Company had total available lines of credit of $198.0 million at June 30, 2016.

Provisions in the Company’s revolving credit facility, Senior Note agreements, and various foreign credit agreements require the Company to maintain compliance with various covenants and include certain cross-default clauses.  The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of June 30, 2016.

The Company estimates the fair value of long-term debt using discounted future cash flows at rates offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities.  At June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, 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 $138.0 million and $139.0 million, respectively.  The fair value of the Senior Notes is categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.  Refer to Note 3 for the definition of a Level 2 fair value measurement.

Note 15: Contingencies and Litigation

Environmental: The United States Environmental Protection Agency has designated the Company as a potentially responsible party for remediation of three sites. These sites are: Auburn Incinerator, Inc./Lake Calumet Cluster (Illinois), Cam-Or (Indiana) and a scrap metal site known as Chemetco (Illinois). 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; however, they 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 would be material to the Company’s financial position due to its relatively small portion of contributed materials.

The Company has recorded environmental investigation and remediation accruals related to subsurface contamination at its former manufacturing facility in the Netherlands and groundwater contamination at its manufacturing facility in Brazil.  In addition, the Company has recorded an environmental accrual for investigative work related to a previously-owned manufacturing facility in the United States, along with accruals for lesser environmental matters at certain other facilities in the United States.  These accruals 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 accruals for these environmental matters totaled $4.5 million and $5.1 million at June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively.  As additional information becomes available, the Company will re-assess the liabilities related to these matters and revise the estimated accruals, if necessary.  Based on currently available information, the Company believes the ultimate outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position.  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 facility in Brazil filed suit against the Company’s subsidiary in Brazil (“Modine Brazil”), seeking remediation and certain other damages as a result of contamination allegedly attributable to its operations.  The Company is defending this suit and believes that the ultimate outcome of this matter will not be material.

Brazil antitrust investigation:  During fiscal 2015, Brazil’s Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) provided formal notice to Modine Brazil of an administrative investigation regarding alleged violations of Brazil’s antitrust regulations by Modine Brazil and certain of its employees during a period of time at least seven years prior to the notice.  As of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Company accrued $3.1 million and $2.8 million (BRL 10.0 million at each date), respectively, representing the estimated amount that may be incurred in connection with the management and resolution of this matter. Due to the ongoing nature of this matter, the Company cannot provide assurance of its ultimate resolution at this time.

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, governmental agencies and/or others in which claims are asserted against Modine. In the opinion of management, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such lawsuits or proceedings 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, 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 June 30, 2016 was the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

During fiscal 2016, we announced our Strengthen, Diversify and Grow strategic transformational framework.  Guided by this framework, we are progressing in our “Strengthen” initiatives to, among other things, achieve global procurement savings and efficiencies, optimize our manufacturing footprint, implement a new global organizational structure, and reduce personnel costs.  In addition, we are investing significant management time and company resources in evaluating opportunities that would enable us to achieve our “Diversify” and “Grow” objectives.

First Quarter Highlights:  Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 increased $1.1 million, or less than 1 percent, from the first quarter of fiscal 2016, primarily due to higher sales volume to automotive customers, partially offset by lower sales volume to commercial vehicle and off-highway customers.  Gross profit increased $5.0 million and gross margin improved 130 basis points, primarily due to lower material costs and improved production efficiencies.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, our net earnings were $8.9 million, an increase of $3.4 million compared with net earnings of $5.5 million in the first quarter of the prior year.

First quarter net sales of $347.2 million were $1.1 million, or less than 1 percent, higher than the first quarter of the prior year, primarily due to higher sales in our Europe and Asia segments, partially offset by lower sales in our Americas segment and a $1.6 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.

First quarter gross profit increased $5.0 million and gross margin improved 130 basis points to 17.8 percent, primarily due to lower material costs, improved production efficiencies and cost savings resulting from procurement initiatives, net of associated expenses for professional services.
 
16

First quarter SG&A expenses increased $1.8 million, primarily due to expenses for professional services related to business development activities and higher employee benefit and incentive compensation expenses, partially offset by a $0.4 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.

Restructuring expenses of $2.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 primarily consisted of severance expenses associated with targeted headcount reductions at several locations and a voluntary retirement program in the U.S., and equipment transfer costs related to plant consolidation activities in the Americas segment.

Operating income of $15.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 increased $3.5 million from $11.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, primarily due to higher gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.

The provision for income taxes was $3.0 million and $3.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The $0.3 million decrease was primarily related to changes in the mix of foreign and domestic earnings.

Americas net sales decreased $19.1 million, or 12 percent, from the first quarter of fiscal 2016 to the first quarter of fiscal 2017.  Sales were lower in both North America and Brazil, including a $1.9 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Sales in North America decreased $16.6 million, primarily due to lower sales volume to commercial vehicle and off-highway customers, partially offset by higher sales volume to automotive customers.  Sales volume to original equipment manufacturer customers in Brazil also declined during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, as economic conditions in Brazil remained weak.  Gross profit decreased $1.6 million, primarily due to lower sales volume, yet gross margin improved 110 basis points to 17.9 percent.  The gross margin improvement was primarily due to lower material costs and cost savings resulting from procurement initiatives.  SG&A expenses decreased $1.1 million, primarily due to ongoing cost-control initiatives.  Restructuring expenses of $2.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 primarily consisted of equipment transfer costs related to plant consolidation activities in North America and severance expenses associated with a voluntary retirement program in the U.S.  Operating income of $9.3 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 was consistent with the prior year, as lower gross profit was offset by lower SG&A and restructuring expenses.

Europe net sales increased $14.8 million, or 11 percent, from the first quarter of fiscal 2016 to the first quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily due to higher sales volume to automotive and commercial vehicle customers and a $2.9 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Gross profit increased $10.0 million and gross margin improved 570 basis points to 17.2 percent, primarily due to higher sales volume, lower material costs, cost savings resulting from procurement initiatives, and improved production efficiencies.  In addition, gross profit was favorably impacted by $0.5 million from foreign currency exchange rate changes.  SG&A expenses increased $0.9 million, but decreased as a percentage of sales.  Operating income increased $9.3 million to $15.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily due to higher gross profit.

Asia net sales increased $5.6 million, or 29 percent, from the first quarter of fiscal 2016 to the first quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily due to higher sales volume to automotive and off-highway customers in China and incremental sales from our recently-formed joint venture in China, Modine Puxin Thermal Systems (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd., partially offset by a $1.3 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Gross profit increased $0.9 million, primarily due to higher sales volume.  SG&A expenses decreased $0.2 million, due to a favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Operating income increased $1.1 million to $1.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily due to higher gross profit.

Building HVAC net sales decreased $1.4 million, or 3 percent, from the first quarter of fiscal 2016 to the first quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily due to a $1.4 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and lower cooling product sales to the school market in North America, partially offset by increased ventilation product sales in the U.K.  Gross profit decreased $1.4 million and gross margin declined 260 basis points to 25.1 percent, primarily due to recent competitive pricing pressures in the U.K. resulting from the relative values of the British pound and the euro, higher depreciation expense in the current year resulting from replacement assets associated with the Airedale fire, which were not yet in use during the first quarter of the prior year, and production inefficiencies in the U.K.  SG&A expenses decreased $0.6 million, primarily due to lower commission costs and a $0.2 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Restructuring expenses of $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 primarily consisted of employee severance expenses associated with voluntary retirement programs in the U.K. and the U.S.  Operating income decreased $1.2 million to $0.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily due to lower gross profit and higher restructuring expenses, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operating activities, our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2016 of $64.1 million, and an available borrowing capacity of $198.0 million under lines of credit provided by banks in the United States and abroad.  Given our extensive international operations, approximately $50.0 million of our cash and cash equivalents are held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries.  Amounts held by non-U.S. subsidiaries are available for general corporate use; however, these funds would be subject to U.S. tax if repatriated.  We have not encountered, and do not expect to encounter, any difficulty meeting the liquidity requirements of our global operations.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $1.6 million, which was a $1.7 million increase from the prior year.  This increase in operating cash flow was primarily due to favorable net changes in working capital, including lower incentive compensation payments during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 compared with the first quarter of the prior year.  Capital expenditures of $14.5 million during the first three months of fiscal 2017 decreased $1.5 million compared with the same period in fiscal 2016.

During fiscal 2016, our Board of Directors approved a $50.0 million share repurchase program, which expires in November 2016.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we did not repurchase shares under this program and had approximately $43.0 million of the repurchase authorization remaining at June 30, 2016. Our decision whether and to what extent to repurchase additional shares depends on a number of factors, including business conditions, other cash priorities, and stock price.

Debt Covenants

Our debt agreements require us to maintain compliance with various covenants. Under our primary debt agreements in the U.S., we are subject to a leverage ratio covenant, which requires us to limit our consolidated indebtedness, less a certain portion of our cash balance, both as defined by the credit agreement, to no more than three and one-quarter times consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain other adjustments (“Adjusted EBITDA”).  In the event of an acquisition, our leverage ratio may be temporarily raised for several quarters, per the terms of our debt agreements.  We are also subject to an interest expense coverage ratio covenant, which requires us to maintain Adjusted EBITDA of at least three times consolidated interest expense.  We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of June 30, 2016 and expect to remain in compliance through the remainder of fiscal 2017 and beyond.

· Our ability to complete the transition of our Washington, Iowa production to other facilities efficiently and effectively;

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

· Increasingly complex and restrictive laws and regulations, including those associated with being a U.S. public company and others present in various jurisdictions in which we operate, and the costs associated with compliance therewith;

· Work stoppages or interference at our facilities or those of our major customers and/or suppliers; and

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

Strategic Risks:

· Our ability to identify and execute appropriate growth and diversification opportunities to enable us to achieve our Strengthen, Diversify and Grow transformational strategy in order to position us for long-term success.

Financial Risks:

· Our ability to fund our global liquidity requirements efficiently, particularly those in our Asia business segment, and meet our long-term commitments in the event of any unexpected disruption in or tightening of the credit markets or extended recessionary conditions in the global economy;

· The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, particularly the value of the euro, Brazilian real, British pound, and Indian rupee relative to the U.S. dollar; and

· Our ability to effectively realize the benefits of tax assets in various jurisdictions in which we operate.

In addition to the risks set forth above, we are subject to other risks and uncertainties as identified in our public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
