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 and such principles were applied on a basis consistent with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in Modine Manufacturing Company’s (Modine or the Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  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 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The March 31, 2010 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.  In addition, certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from these interim financial statements.  Therefore, such statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in Modine's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010.

Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies

Restricted cash:  At June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the Company had long-term restricted cash of $4,906 and $5,926, respectively, included in other noncurrent assets.  This amount primarily collateralizes unrealized losses on commodity derivatives with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as the counterparty.

Assets held for sale:  The Company considers assets or businesses to be held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan to actively market the asset or business for sale at a price reasonable in relation to its fair value, the asset or business is available for immediate sale in its present condition, the sale of the asset or business is probable and expected to be completed within one year and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan.  Upon designation as held for sale, the carrying value of the assets or assets of the business are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or their estimated fair value, less costs to sell.  The Company ceases to record depreciation expense at the time of designation as held for sale.  Assets held for sale totaling $8,562 and $9,870 at June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively, represent certain facilities that the Company has closed or intends to close and is currently marketing for sale.  During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company sold two facilities previously classified as held for sale for net proceeds of $1,539.  The Company recognized a gain on these sales of $1,026, which has been reflected as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.

Accounting standards changes and new accounting pronouncements:  In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets which requires entities to provide more information regarding sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the entity has continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets.  The guidance eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special –purpose entity,”changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosures.  This guidance is effective for the Company on a prospective basis on or after April 1, 2010 and had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

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 the Company on a prospective basis on or after April 1, 2011.

Note 3: Employee Benefit Plans

During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded compensation expense of $1,269 and $1,140, respectively, related to its defined contribution employee benefit 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 $1,570 and $1,108 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The performance component of the long-term incentive plan granted in the three months ended June 30, 2010 is based on a target compound annual growth rate in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) over a three year period and a target return on average capital employed (ROACE) at the end of the three year period.  The Company currently considers the attainment of these performance targets to be probable.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense and provision for income taxes, adjusted to exclude unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary non-cash charges and cash restructuring and repositioning charges and further adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization expense.  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; divided by the average total debt, less cash, plus shareholders’ equity.  No performance shares were granted in the three months ended June 30, 2009.

The following tables present, by type, the fair market value of stock-based compensation awards granted during the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009:

The Company is prohibited from making dividend payments under its current debt agreements, resulting in an expected dividend yield of 0.00 percent on the Company’s stock.  The Company’s primary anticipated uses for cash flows for the foreseeable future are funding the business and capital expenditures.

As of June 30, 2010, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested stock-based compensation awards, which will be amortized over the weighted average remaining service periods, is as follows:

  $ (3,598 )   $ 5,705  

Foreign currency transactions for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were primarily comprised of foreign currency transaction (losses) gains on inter-company loans denominated in a foreign currency.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company sold its 50 percent ownership interest in Anhui Jianghaui Mando Climate Control Co. Ltd. for cash proceeds of $2,430 and a receivable of $2,430 collected in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, resulting in a gain of $1,465 included in other non-operating income – net.

Note 6: Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s effective income tax rate attributable to earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes was 51.4 percent and 22.0 percent, respectively.  During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company continued to record an increase in the valuation allowance of $3,157 predominantly against net U.S. deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized based on historical performance, which increased the effective tax rate by 49.2 percent.  During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a $390 valuation allowance primarily related to its net German deferred tax assets.    

The Company allocates income tax expense between continuing operations, and all other financial statement components by tax jurisdiction.  In periods in which there is a loss from continuing operations before income taxes and pre-tax income in another category (e.g., discontinued operations or other comprehensive income), income tax expense is first allocated to the other sources of income, with a related tax benefit recorded in continuing operations.  For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company allocated income tax expense to the income component in other comprehensive income with an offsetting tax benefit in continuing operations, which reduced the effective tax rate by 6.4 percent.

The following is a reconciliation of the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2010:

  $ (596 )   $ 3,897     $ 3,301       51.4 %

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

There was a decrease in unrecognized tax benefits of $352 during the first quarter of fiscal 2011, primarily due to foreign currency fluctuation.  The Company does not expect any significant increase or decrease in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months other than that which will result from the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

The Company files income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world.  During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company was notified that one of its foreign jurisdictions will be undergoing an income tax examination beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

As further discussed in Note 12, the South Korean business and retained aftermarket environmental liability in The Netherlands are presented as discontinued operations in the comparative consolidated financial statements.  The loss from discontinued operations has been presented net of income tax expense of $51 for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

The Company has $60,726 outstanding on 10.0 percent Senior Notes, maturing on September 29, 2015 (“2015 Notes”), and $40,484 outstanding on 10.75 percent Senior Notes maturing on December 7, 2017 (“2017 Notes A”) and $20,242 outstanding on 10.75 percent Senior Notes maturing on December 7, 2017 (“2017 Notes B”).  As of June 30, 2010, the Company also had $25,600 outstanding under its $142,110 domestic revolving credit facility which is due to expire in July 2011.  At March 31, 2010, the Company had $7,500 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 June 30, 2010.

At June 30, 2010, the Company had $112,612 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 $33,540.  On May 10, 2010, Modine Holding GmbH and Modine Europe GmbH, subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a Credit Facility Agreement with an available line of 15,000 euro ($18,344 U.S. equivalent) with Deutsche Bank AG.  The credit facility is available until May 9, 2012 and is secured by the assets of Modine Holding GmbH and its subsidiaries.  In the aggregate, the Company had total available lines of credit of $146,152 at June 30, 2010.  The availability of these funds is subject to the Company’s ability to remain in compliance with the financial ratios and limitations in the respective debt agreements.

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 June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, 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 $129,215 and $131,960 at June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively.

At June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the Company had short-term debt of $4,448 and $3,011, respectively, primarily consisting of short-term borrowings at foreign locations.

Note 15: Financial Instruments

Concentrations of Credit Risk: The Company invests excess cash in investment quality short-term liquid debt instruments.  Such investments are made only in instruments issued by reputable 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 June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, approximately 47 percent of the Company's trade accounts receivables were from the Company's top ten individual customers.  These customers operate primarily in the automotive, truck and heavy equipment markets and are all influenced by many of the same market and general economic factors.  To reduce credit risk, the Company performs periodic customer credit evaluations and actively monitors their financial condition and developing business news.  The Company does not generally require collateral or advanced payments from its customers, but does so in those cases where a substantial credit risk is identified.  Credit losses to customers operating in the markets served by the Company have not been material.  Total bad debt write-offs have been well below one percent of outstanding trade receivable balances for the presented periods.  See Note 20 for further discussion on market, credit and counterparty risks.

Inter-Company Loans Denominated in Foreign Currencies:  The Company has certain foreign-currency-denominated long-term inter-company loans that are sensitive to foreign exchange rates.  The Company has inter-company loans outstanding at June 30, 2010 as follows:

·
$2,300 loan to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine do Brasil Sistemas Termicos Ltda. (Modine Brazil), that matures on May 8, 2011;
 
·
$13,320 loan to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal Systems Private Limited (Modine India), that matures on April 30, 2013;
 
·
$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;
 
·
$1,834 loan to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine U.K. Dollar Limited, that matures on November 30, 2011; and
 
·
$41,071 between two loans to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Holding GmbH, with various maturity dates through January 31, 2020.

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 June 30, 2010.

Note 16: Foreign Exchange Contracts/Derivatives/Hedges

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

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

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

Interest rate derivatives: On August 5, 2005, the Company entered into a one-month forward ten-year treasury interest rate lock in anticipation of a private placement borrowing which occurred on September 29, 2005.  The contract was settled on September 1, 2005 with a loss of $1,794.  On October 25, 2006, the Company entered into two forward starting swaps in anticipation of the $75,000 private placement debt offering that occurred on December 7, 2006.  On November 14, 2006, the fixed interest rate of the private placement borrowing was locked and, accordingly, the Company terminated and settled the forward starting swaps at a loss of $1,812.  These interest rate derivatives were treated as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions.  Accordingly, the losses are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, and are being amortized to interest expense over the respective lives of the borrowings.

The fair value of the derivative financial instruments recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010 are as follows:

Note 17: Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

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

When available, the Company 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.

 
16


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

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 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.

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 values 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 for the securities are the market values directly from active markets (such as 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.

For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are classified as follows:

Note 18: Product Warranties and Other Commitments

Product warranties: Modine provides product warranties for its assorted product lines with warranty periods generally ranging from one to ten years, with the majority falling within a two- to four-year time period.  The Company accrues for estimated future warranty costs in the period in which the sale is recorded, and warranty expense estimates are forecasted based on the best information available using analytical and statistical analysis of both historical and current claim data.  These expenses are adjusted when it becomes probable that expected claims will differ from initial estimates recorded at the time of the sale.

Changes in the warranty liability were as follows:

Note 19: Segment Information

During the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company implemented certain management reporting changes resulting in the realignment of the Fuel Cell segment into the Original Equipment – North America segment.  The previously reported segment results for the Original Equipment – North America segment have been retrospectively adjusted for comparative purposes.

Note 20: Contingencies and Litigation

Market risk:  The Company sells a broad range of products that provide thermal solutions to a diverse group of customers operating primarily in the automotive, truck, heavy equipment and commercial heating and air conditioning markets.  The adverse events in the global financial and economic markets have created a significant downturn in the Company’s vehicular markets and, to a lesser extent, in its commercial heating and air conditioning markets.  The current economic uncertainty makes it difficult to predict future conditions in these markets.  A sustained economic downturn in any of these markets could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future results of operations or liquidity.  The Company is responding to these market conditions through its continued implementation of its four-point plan as follows:

·
Manufacturing realignment – aligning the manufacturing footprint to maximize asset utilization and improve the Company’s cost competitive position;
 
·
Portfolio rationalization – identifying products or businesses which should be divested or exited as they do not meet required financial metrics;
 
·
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense reduction – reducing SG&A expenses and SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales through diligent cost containment actions; and
 
·
Capital allocation discipline – allocating capital spending to operating segments and business programs that are likely to provide the highest return on investment.

Credit risk:  The adverse events in the global financial markets over the past two years have increased credit risks on investments to which Modine is exposed or where Modine has an interest.  The Company manages credit risks through its focus on the following:

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

Counterparty risks:  The adverse events in the global financial and economic markets over the past two years have also increased counterparty risks.  The Company manages counterparty risks through its focus on the following:

 
·
Customers – performing thorough review of customer credit reports and accounts receivable aging reports by internal credit resources;
 
·
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.

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

The Company has also recorded other environmental investigation, cleanup and remediation expense accruals for certain facilities located in the United States, Brazil, and The Netherlands.  These expenditures generally relate to facilities where past operations followed practices and procedures that were considered acceptable under then existing regulations, or where the Company is a successor to the obligations of prior owners and current laws and regulations require investigative and/or remedial work to ensure sufficient environmental compliance.

Other litigation:  In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in various other lawsuits and enforcement proceedings by private parties, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, USEPA, other governmental agencies and others in which claims, such as personal injury, property damage, intellectual property or antitrust and trade regulation issues, are asserted against Modine.

If a loss arising from environmental and other litigation matters is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the estimated loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range, and no point within the range is more likely than another.  The undiscounted reserves for these matters totaled $2,982 and $3,048 at June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively.  Additional reserves of $32 were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as a component of loss from discontinued operations.  No additional reserves were recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2009.  Many 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.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

When we use the terms “Modine,” “we,” “us,” “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 June 30, 2010 is the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

First Quarter Highlights:  Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 improved significantly from the first quarter of fiscal 2010, driven by an overall increase in sales volumes, primarily within the commercial vehicle and off-highway markets in North America and South America, as well as within the European automotive market.  Gross margin improved with these increased sales volumes, reflecting the operating leverage generated through our reduced fixed cost structure.  Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased from the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to the first quarter of fiscal 2011, as anticipated, due to our reinvestment in the business, increased pension costs and higher employee compensation.  Our first quarter fiscal 2011 results included foreign currency exchange losses on inter-company loans denominated in foreign currency.

First quarter net sales of $345.2 million were 36.1 percent higher than the $253.6 million reported in the first quarter of last year driven by increases in overall sales volumes, partially offset by a $5.0 unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Automotive and medium/heavy duty truck sales improved 25.4 percent and 27.2 percent, respectively, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, gross margin improved 210 basis points from 14.1 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to 16.2 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  The improvement in gross margin is the result of previous reductions in direct and indirect costs in the manufacturing facilities and increased sales volumes.

SG&A expenses increased $3.3 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to the first quarter of fiscal 2011, yet decreased 310 basis points as a percentage of sales.  The increase in SG&A expenses is primarily the result of reinvestment in the business, including higher compensation expense, and higher pension costs.

 
22


Results from operations improved $19.0 million from the loss from operations of $4.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to income from operations of $14.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  The higher sales volumes and improvement in gross margin were the primary factors contributing to this improvement in results from operations.
 
Interest expense decreased $1.4 million over the comparable quarter, primarily driven by the decreased outstanding borrowings.

Other expense of $3.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 represents a $9.3 million change from other income of $5.7 million reported during the first quarter of fiscal 2010.  Other expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 consisted primarily of foreign currency exchange losses on inter-company loans denominated in a foreign currency while other income in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 consisted primarily of foreign currency exchange gains on inter-company loans denominated in a foreign currency.  In addition, we sold our 50 percent ownership interest in Anhui Jianghaui Mando Climate Control Co. Ltd. resulting in a gain of $1.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we recorded a $3.3 million provision for income taxes, which represents an effective tax rate of 51.4 percent.  This compares to a provision for income taxes of $1.0 million recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2010, which represented a 22.0 percent effective tax rate.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we recorded a valuation allowance of $2.7 million predominately against the net deferred tax assets in the U.S. as we continue to assess that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the future.

Earnings from continuing operations of $3.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 represent a $8.7 million improvement from the loss from continuing operations of $5.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2010.  In addition, diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.07 increased $0.25 from diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $0.18 for this same period last year.  The increase in sales volumes and improved gross margin were the primary drivers of this increase.

Original Equipment – Europe net sales increased $26.9 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to the first quarter of fiscal 2011, driven by a $36.6 million increase in underlying vehicular sales volumes partially offset by a $9.7 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Gross profit increased $7.0 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to the first quarter of fiscal 2011 and gross margin improved 270 basis points to 15.5 percent from 12.8 percent over this same period.  The improvement in gross margin is primarily attributable to a significant reduction in direct and indirect costs in the European manufacturing facilities and the increased sales volumes.  SG&A expenses are comparable from the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to the first quarter of fiscal 2011 yet decreased as a percentage of sales due to the positive impact of SG&A cost containment efforts.  A long-lived asset impairment charge of $0.2 million was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 related to an investment in an affiliate with an “other than temporary” decline in value.  Income from operations increased $7.7 million, primarily due to the improved gross margin and significant increase in sales volumes.

Original Equipment – North America net sales increased $38.5 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to the first quarter of fiscal 2011, primarily driven by improvements in the North American truck and off-highway markets.  Gross margin decreased 70 basis points to 12.5 percent during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 from 13.2 percent during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 due to higher year-over-year commodity costs which more than offset improved operating leverage on higher sales volume.  SG&A expenses increased $0.9 million primarily due to higher engineering and development costs and higher pension costs partially offset by a $1.0 million gain on the sale of two manufacturing facilities previously recorded as assets held for sale.  Despite the increase in SG&A expenses, as a percentage of sales SG&A expenses decreased 210 basis points from the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as the increase in sales volumes was greater than the increase in SG&A costs.  A long-lived asset impairment charge of $0.8 million was recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 for a program that was not able to support its asset base.  Income from continuing operations increased $4.2 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to the first quarter of fiscal 2011, primarily due to the increased sales volumes.

South America net sales increased $14.2 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to the first quarter of fiscal 2011, due to increased sales volumes within their off-highway and commercial vehicle markets and a favorable impact on foreign currency exchange rate changes of $5.0 million.  Gross margin decreased from 21.2 percent during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to 20.1 percent in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, due to year-over-year increased materials pricing which more than offset improved operating leverage on higher sales volume.  SG&A expenses increased $0.6 million largely due to an unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Restructuring expense of $0.6 million was recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 related to a workforce reduction within the Brazilian operation.  Income from continuing operations improved $2.6 million, based on the increased sales volumes and the absence of restructuring charges.

Commercial Products net sales increased $5.5 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to the first quarter of fiscal 2011, due to higher market penetration iwht new product introductions.  Gross margin increased 200 basis points to 25.9 percent during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 from 23.9 percent during the first quarter of fiscal 2010, with the increased sales volumes and performance improvements.  SG&A expenses increased $1.2 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2010 to the first quarter of fiscal 2011, due to an investment in additional resources within the segment and higher commission costs due to increased sales.  Income from continuing operations improved $1.2 million to $3.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 from $2.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 largely related to the increased sales volumes.

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.

Cash used for operating activities was $21.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009.  While operating results improved year-over-year, this increase was more than offset by an investment in working capital balances.  The most significant working capital increase was in accounts receivable, which reduced operating cash flows by $26.2 million as we invested in accounts receivable to support an increase in net sales.  Days sales outstanding increased 4 days to 47 days during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as we return to more traditional payment terms with certain of our customers.  In addition, we elected to make a $10.5 million contribution to our U.S. pension plan in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 which contributed to the decline in cash flow from operations.

 
25


At June 30, 2010, we had capital expenditure commitments of $25.4 million.  Significant commitments include tooling and equipment expenditures for new and renewal platforms with new and current customers in Europe and North America.  Our capital spending is limited under our amended credit agreements to $75.0 million for fiscal year 2011 and $70.0 million for all fiscal years thereafter.

Outstanding indebtedness increased $18.8 million to $158.0 million at June 30, 2010 from the March 31, 2010 balance of $139.2 million, as a result of our investment in working capital and the contribution to our domestic pension plan.  Our cash balances decreased $9.4 million from $43.7 million at March 31, 2010 to $34.3 million at June 30, 2010.

At June 30, 2010, we had $112.6 million 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 $33.6 million at June 30, 2010.  In the aggregate, total available lines of credit of $146.2 million existed at June 30, 2010.  On May 10, 2010, Modine Holding GmbH and Modine Europe GmbH, subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a 15.0 million euro ($18.3 million U.S. equivalent) Credit Facility Agreement to replace an existing 15.0 million euro credit facility.  The availability of funds under the credit facilities is subject to our ability to remain in compliance with the financial covenants and limitations in our respective debt agreements.

We believe that our internally generated operating cash flows, working capital management efforts and existing cash balances, together with access to available external borrowings, will be sufficient to satisfy operating costs and capital expenditures in the foreseeable future.

Intercreditor Agreement

At June 30, 2010, there was $25.6 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, which represented an increase from the $7.5 million outstanding balance at March 31, 2010.  In addition, at June 30, 2010, we had $121.5 million, in aggregate, outstanding on the senior notes.

In conjunction with the First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Waiver with our primary lenders and Waiver and Second Amendment to the Note Purchase Agreements with the senior note holders each dated as of February 17, 2009, the primary lenders and senior note holders entered into a Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement, to which we consented.  This agreement provides for the sharing of payments received in respect of the collateral secured in accordance with the above-mentioned agreements and the guarantees provided by the Company to the primary lenders and senior note holders.  On September 18, 2009, the primary lenders and senior note holders entered into a First Amendment to Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement (“Intercreditor Agreement”), to which we consented.  Under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, 90 days after the expiration of our revolving credit facility in July 2011, certain actions may be required in order to preserve a stated ratio relative to the Company’s indebtedness to the primary lenders on the one hand and the senior note holders on the other.  This portion of the Intercreditor Agreement, if triggered, would require the primary lenders to pay the senior note holders to preserve the relative position of those two groups that existed when the Intercreditor Agreement was executed.  If the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility at October 2011 is the same as it was as of June 30, 2010, the primary lenders would be required to pay approximately $31 million to the senior note holders at that time.

We currently anticipate refinancing our revolving credit facility in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, well before its expiration in July 2011.  In the unlikely event that we are unable to complete the refinancing of the revolving credit facility prior to October 2010 (one year prior to the potential rebalancing described above), and if the Intercreditor Agreement terms remain in their current state, we may be required to classify the above-described payment from the primary lenders to the senior note holders as a current liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.  This current liability classification would be required as we may need to reimburse the primary lender for the rebalancing payment made to the senior note holders.  If that were to occur, we believe that our existing cash balances, internally generated operating cash flows and availability on our revolving credit facilities would be sufficient to fund this required payment and any potential associated obligations.  In addition to the referenced intention to refinance our revolving credit facility, we are also considering the simultaneous repayment and replacement of the senior notes.  If completed, we anticipate that this initiative would include an amendment to and/or restatement of the Intercreditor Agreement to eliminate the above-described rebalancing payment.  In addition, upon completion of the repayment and replacement of the senior notes, we would be required to pay a prepayment penalty of approximately $14 million to $18 million to the holders of the senior notes.

Debt Covenants

Our debt agreements require us to maintain compliance with various covenants.  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 our earnings (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense and provision for income taxes, adjusted to exclude unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary non-cash charges and up to $34.0 million of cash restructuring and repositioning charges, and further adjusted to add back depreciation and amortization expense.  Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be considered, an alternative to earnings (loss) 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.

Our adjusted EBITDA for the four consecutive quarters ended June 30, 2010 was $101.3 million.  The following table presents a calculation of adjusted EBITDA:

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets which requires entities to provide more information regarding sales of securitized financial assets and similar transactions, particularly if the entity has continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets.  The guidance eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special –purpose entity,”changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets and requires additional disclosures.  This guidance is effective for us on a prospective basis on or after April 1, 2010 and had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.


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.

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, 2010.  As further discussed under “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the primary lenders may be required to pay approximately $31 million to the senior note holders in October 2011 if a rebalancing of our indebtedness to the primary lenders and the senior note holders is required.  If this rebalancing becomes necessary, it would increase the debt maturities in the 1-3 years column.  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 $4.1 million as of June 30, 2010.

Outlook

We expect the Company’s results for fiscal 2011 to be better than those in fiscal 2010 as a result of improving trends in the markets the Company serves, the recent strengthening in sales volumes and improved operating leverage.  Compared with the prior fiscal year, we anticipate improved sales across all of our segments, particularly in the commercial vehicle and off-highway markets in North America and the premium automotive market in Europe.  We believe that this increase in revenue will be partially offset by the wind-down of certain automotive, passenger thermal management and commercial vehicle business within the Original Equipment – North America segment.  We expect gross margin to be positively impacted by the sales volume improvements given our improved operating leverage.  We project that commodity prices and currency rates will remain relatively stable for the remainder of fiscal 2011.  We anticipate SG&A expenses to increase as a result of reinvestment in the business to capitalize on long-term growth drivers, higher pension expense, increased employee total compensation and engineering and development expense as sales volumes increase.

 
29


We anticipate refinancing our domestic revolving credit facility and are also considering the simultaneous repayment and replacement of the Company’s senior notes.  If the Company repays and replaces the senior notes, the Company would be required to pay a prepayment penalty of approximately $14 million to $18 million to the holders of the senior notes.  In addition, interest expense in fiscal 2011 may also include the recognition of capitalized debt issuance costs and interest rate derivatives related to these senior notes.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

In the normal course of business, Modine is subject to market exposure from changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, credit risk, economic risk and commodity price risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

Modine is subject to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to its operations in foreign countries. Modine has manufacturing facilities in Brazil, China, Mexico, South Africa, India and throughout Europe.  It also has an equity investment in a Japanese company.  Modine sells and distributes its products throughout the world.  As a result, the Company's financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets in which the Company manufactures, distributes and sells its products.  The Company attempts to mitigate foreign currency risks on transactions with customers and suppliers in foreign countries by entering into contracts that are denominated in the functional currency of the Modine entity engaging in the contract.  The Company's operating results are principally exposed to changes in exchange rates between the dollar and the European currencies, primarily the euro, and changes between the dollar and the Brazilian real.  Changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the Company's foreign subsidiaries reporting in local currencies are generally reported as a component of shareholders' equity.  For the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company experienced a general strengthening of the U.S. dollar to these foreign currencies, which resulted in an unfavorable translation adjustment of $22.9 million.  For the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company experienced a general weakening of the U.S. dollar to these foreign currencies, particularly the euro, which resulted in a favorable currency translation adjustment of $26.8 million.  At June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, the Company's foreign subsidiaries had net current assets (defined as current assets less current liabilities) subject to foreign currency translation risk of $94.5 million and $88.5 million, respectively.  The potential decrease in the net current assets from a hypothetical 10 percent adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates would be approximately $9.5 million and $8.9 million, respectively.  This sensitivity analysis assumes a parallel shift in foreign currency exchange rates.  Exchange rates rarely move in the same direction relative to the dollar.  This assumption may overstate the impact of changing exchange rates on individual assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency.

 
31


The Company has, from time to time, certain foreign-currency-denominated, long-term debt obligations and long-term inter-company loans that are sensitive to foreign currency exchange rates.  As of June 30, 2010, there were no third party foreign-denominated, long-term debt obligations.  The Company had inter-company loans outstanding at June 30, 2010 as follows:

 
·
$2.3 million loan to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine do Brasil Sistemas Termicos Ltda. (Modine Brazil), that matures on May 8, 2011;
 
·
$13.3 million loan to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal Systems Private Limited (Modine India), that matures on April 30, 2013;
 
·
$12.0 million between two loans to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Thermal Systems (Changzhou) Co. Ltd. (Changzhou, China), with various maturity dates through June 2012;
 
·
$1.8 million loan to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine U.K. Dollar Limited, that matures on November 30, 2011; and
 
·
$41.1 million between two loans to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Holding GmbH, with various maturity dates through January 31, 2020.

These inter-company loans are sensitive to movements in foreign exchange rates, and the Company does not have any derivative instruments which hedge this exposure.

Interest Rate Risk

Modine's interest rate risk policies are designed to reduce the potential volatility of earnings that could arise from changes in interest rates.  The Company generally utilizes a mixture of debt maturities together with both fixed-rate and floating-rate debt to manage its exposure to interest rate variations related to its borrowings.  The domestic revolving credit facility is based on a variable interest rate of London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 475 basis points.  The Company is subject to future fluctuations in LIBOR, that would affect the variable interest rate on the revolving credit facility and create variability in interest expense.   A 100 basis point increase in LIBOR would increase interest expense by $0.3 million for the fiscal year based on the June 30, 2010 revolving credit facility balance.  The Company has, from time to time, entered into interest rate derivatives to manage variability in interest rates.  These interest rate derivatives were treated as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions.  Accordingly, the losses are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, and are being amortized to interest expense over the respective lives of the borrowings.  During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, $0.1 million of expense was recorded in the consolidated statement of operations related to the amortization of interest rate derivative losses.  At June 30, 2010, $0.5 million of net unrealized losses remained deferred in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income.  The following table presents the future principal cash flows and weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates.  The fair value of the long-term debt is estimated by discounting the future cash flows at rates offered to the Company for similar debt instruments with comparable maturities.  The book value of the debt approximates fair value, with the exception of the $121.5 million fixed rate notes, which have a fair value of approximately $129.2 million at June 30, 2010.

As of June 30, 2010, long-term debt matures as follows:
