BUSINESS. ------ -------- General ------- Throughout this Report, the terms "Modine," the "Company" and/or the "Registrant" refer to Modine Manufacturing Company and consolidated subsidiaries. Modine was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wisconsin on June 23, 1916. Modine is an independent, worldwide leader in heat-transfer and heat storage technology serving vehicular, industrial, commercial, and building HVAC (heating, ventilating, air conditioning) markets. Modine develops, manufactures, and markets heat exchangers and systems for use in various OEM (original equipment manufacturer) applications and for sale to the automotive aftermarket (as replacement parts) and to a wide array of building markets. The primary markets consist of: - Automobile, truck and bus manufacturers; - Farm implement manufacturers - Heating and cooling equipment manufacturers; - Construction contractors; - Wholesalers of plumbing and heating equipment; - Radiator repair shops; and - Wholesalers of auto repair parts. We distribute our products through: - Company salespersons; - Independent manufacturers' representatives; - Independent warehouse distributors; - Mass merchandisers and - National accounts. Our operations are organized on the basis of market categories or geographical responsibility, as follows: Original Equipment, which provides heat-transfer products, generally from business units in North America, to original- equipment manufacturers of on-highway and off-highway vehicles, as well as to industrial- and commercial-equipment manufacturers, located primarily in North America; Distributed Products, which provides heat-transfer products primarily for the North American vehicular replacement market and the building HVAC market, from business units in North America; and European Operations, which provides heat-transfer products, primarily to European original-equipment manufacturers of on- highway and off-highway vehicles, industrial equipment manufacturers, and the vehicular replacement market from business units in Europe. The Company has assigned specific business units to a segment based principally on these defined markets and their geographical location. The Company's three reportable segments offer a broad line of products that can be categorized as follows: Percentage of total company revenue by product ---------------------------------------------- Years ended March 31 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- Radiators & Radiator 31% 32% 33% Cores Vehicular Air 12% 12% 14% Conditioning Oil Coolers 16% 16% 17% Charge Air Coolers 9% 8% 9% Building HVAC 7% 7% 7% Modules/Packages 22% 22% 17% Miscellaneous 3% 3% 3% Developments and Strategy ------------------------- We remain committed to the vision of "creating value through technology." We will continue using our intellectual skills to strengthen our position in key traditional markets. At the same time, we will leverage those strengths into new, dynamic, rapidly growing markets that need heat- transfer solutions to solve complex problems. The creation process encompasses growth as a key focus for Modine. We have identified many ways to continue building our basic businesses through increasing marketshare, providing more content per application, and making strategic acquisitions. An ongoing process is in place to evaluate the markets that we currently serve and to allocate our resources to those with the best growth opportunities. We are also focusing on the most-promising new markets and new products. Like growth, profitability also is a key focus for Modine. We are concentrating heavily on managing our selling, general, and administrative expenses through numerous cost-saving initiatives, a reevaluation of our processes, and control of staff costs. In addition, we are evaluating the profitability of current product lines and plants, with the objective of improving our overall returns. A last, key focus involves asset utilization. We have made substantial investments in new, highly efficient plants and equipment along with state-of-the-art technical centers. All of these are critical to our strategy of generating growth through technological leadership. Geographical Areas ------------------ We maintain administrative organizations in two regions - North America and Europe - to facilitate financial and statutory reporting and tax compliance on a worldwide basis and to support the three business units. Our operations are located in the following countries: North America Europe South America Central America Asia/Pacific ------------- ------ ------------- --------------- ------------ Canada Austria Brazil El Salvador Japan Mexico Belgium United States Denmark England France Germany Hungary Italy Netherlands Poland Spain Switzerland Our non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates manufacture and sell a number of vehicular and industrial products similar to those produced in the U.S. In addition to normal business risks, operations outside the U.S. are subject to others such as changing political, economic and social environments, changing governmental laws and regulations, currency revaluations and market fluctuations. You can find more information in "Note 19. Business Segments" on pages 31-33 of our 2000 Annual Report. Exports ------- In addition, the Company exports to foreign countries and receives royalties from foreign licensees. Export sales as a percentage of total sales were 11.1%, 11.5% and 12.6% for fiscal years ended in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Estimated after-tax earnings on export sales as a percentage of total net earnings were 11.1%, 11.5% and 12.6% for fiscal years ended in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Royalties from foreign licensees as a percentage of total earnings were 4.8%, 5.5% and 2.5% for the last three fiscal years, respectively. Modine believes its international presence has positioned the Company to profitably share in the anticipated long-term growth of the global vehicular and industrial markets. Modine is committed to increasing its involvement and investment in international markets in the years ahead. Foreign and Domestic Operations ------------------------------- Financial information relating to the Company's foreign and domestic operations is included in the Company's 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference at Note 19 on pages 31-33 therein. Events Subsequent to the End of the Quarter ------------------------------------------- On June 9, 2000, the Company mailed its Annual Report to Shareholders and released its sales forecast for the upcoming year. See Current --- Reports on Form 8-K at page 21 herein for further details. Competitive Position -------------------- The Company competes with several manufacturers of heat transfer products, some of which are divisions of larger companies and some of which are independent companies. The Company also competes for business with parts manufacturing divisions of some of its major customers. The markets for the Company's products are increasingly competitive and have changed significantly in the past few years as the Company's traditional OEM customers in the United States, faced with dramatically increased international competition, have expanded their worldwide sourcing of parts to better compete with lower-cost imports. These market changes have caused the Company to experience competition from suppliers in other parts of the world which enjoy economic advantages such as lower labor costs, lower health care costs, and other factors. In addition, our customers have asked the Company, as they have asked all primary suppliers, to participate directly and more substantially in research and development, design, and validation responsibilities that should result in stronger relationships and more partnership opportunities. Customer Dependence ------------------- Ten customers accounted for approximately 45.9% of the Company's sales in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000. These customers, listed alphabetically, were: BMW, Caterpillar, DaimlerChrysler, Fiat, Ford, John Deere, International Truck (formerly Navistar International), NAPA, Paccar and Volkswagen. Goods are supplied to these customers on the basis of individual purchase orders received from them. When it is in the customer's and the Company's best interests, the Company utilizes long-term supply agreements to minimize investment risks and provide a proven source of competitively priced products. There are no other relationships between the Company and its customers. Backlog of Orders ----------------- While the Company has a large backlog of orders, the backlog is not deemed significant or material; backlog historically has had little relation to shipments. Modine's products are produced from readily available materials such as aluminum, copper, brass, and steel and have a relatively short manufacturing cycle. The Company's operating units maintain their own inventories and production schedules. Current production capacity (including additional capacity planned to become operational this year) is capable of handling the sales volumes expected in fiscal 2001. Raw Materials ------------- Aluminum, copper, brass, steel, and solder, all essential to the business, are purchased regularly from several domestic and foreign producers. In general, the Company does not rely on any one supplier for these materials, which are for the most part available from numerous sources in quantities required by the Company. The Company normally does not experience material shortages within its operations and believes that producers' supplies of these materials will be adequate through the end of fiscal year 2001. Patents ------- The Company, and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, own outright or are licensed to produce products under a number of patents and licenses. These patents and licenses, which have been obtained over a period of years, will expire at various times. Because the Company is involved with many product lines, the Company believes that its business as a whole is not materially dependent upon any particular patent or license, or any particular group of patents or licenses. Modine considers each of its patents, trademarks and licenses to be of value and aggressively defends its rights throughout the world against infringement. See also Item 3 - Legal Proceedings. Research and Development ------------------------ The Company remains committed to its vision of "creating value through technology." Company-sponsored research activities relate to the development of new products, processes, or services, or the improvement of existing products, processes, and services. Expenditures in fiscal 2000 amounted to $20,528,000; in fiscal 1999 amounted to $18,252,000; and in fiscal 1998 amounted to approximately $16,816,000. There were no significant expenditures on research activities that were customer- sponsored. Over the course of the last few years, the Company has become involved in a number of industry or university sponsored research organizations. These consortia conduct research and provide data on technical topics deemed to be of interest to the Company for practical applications in the markets the Company serves. The research and data developed is generally shared among the member companies. In addition, to achieve efficiencies and lower developmental costs, Modine's research and engineering groups work closely with Modine's customers on special projects and systems designs. Environmental, Health and Safety Matters --------------------------------------- Modine has a long standing corporate environmental policy which demonstrates the Company's commitment to the environment and compliance with all environmental laws and regulations worldwide. Modine continues to appraise environmental issues and regulatory compliance with a proactive approach. The benefits realized from the Company's environmental programs include conserved resources, more efficient manufacturing processes, minimized liability exposure and reduced operational costs. Modine evaluates the performance of the Company's environmental programs through continuous monitoring, auditing and accounting systems. The Company constantly examines its operations and processes to minimize their impact on the environment. In calendar 1996, the Company revised its corporate waste minimization program, which originated in 1991, to encompass all by-products of the manufacturing process in North America. Despite the increases in North American sales volumes from calendar 1996 to 1999, the company achieved a 26% reduction in by-product generation over that same period. Modine accrues for environmental remediation activities relating to past operations - including those under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), often referred to as "Superfund", and under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) - when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and reasonable estimates can be made. In addition, an obligation may arise when a facility is closed or sold. These expenditures most often relate to facilities and sites where past operations followed practices and procedures that were considered acceptable under then-existing regulations, but will now require investigative and/or remedial work to ensure sufficient protection to the environment. Five of the Company's manufacturing facilities currently have been identified as requiring soil and/or groundwater remediation. Because of the joint and several liability of former landowners, contractual obligations, and certain state programs that provide for partial reimbursement of certain remediation costs, it is unlikely these remediation efforts will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition. Although there are no currently known liabilities that might have a material effect on the Company's consolidated net assets, the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has designated Modine as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") for remediation of six waste disposal sites. These sites are not company owned and allegedly contain wastes attributable to Modine from past operations. For the six sites currently known, the Company's potential liability will be significantly less than the total site remediation because the percentage of material attributable to Modine is relatively low ("de minimis"), there may be insufficient documentation linking Modine to the site, and the other PRPs have the financial resources to meet their obligations. Environmental regulations, as well as the company's policy to continuously improve upon its environmental management programs, will require significant capital equipment expenditures over the coming years. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2000 capital expenditures related to environmental projects were $1.1 million. These environmental expenditures include capital outlays to retrofit existing facilities, as well as those associated with new facilities and other compliance costs. Modine currently expects expenditures for environmentally related capital projects to be about $2.5 million in fiscal 2001. Environmental expenses charged to current operations, including remediation costs, totaled about $3.5 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2000. These expenses include solid waste disposal and operating and maintenance costs incurred in conducting environmental compliance activities; and for other matters. Operating expenses of some facilities may increase during fiscal year 2001 because of such charges but the competitive position of the Company is not expected to change materially. Although environmental costs are substantial, the Company has no reason to believe such costs vary significantly from similar costs incurred by other companies engaged in similar businesses. Employees --------- The number of persons employed by the Company at March 31, 2000, was approximately 8,300. Seasonal Nature of Business --------------------------- Distributed Products may still experience a degree of seasonality since the demand for aftermarket and HVAC products are affected by weather patterns, constructions starts, and other factors. On an overall Company basis, there is no significant degree of seasonality as indicated by the percentages below. Sales to original equipment manufacturers are dependent upon the demand for new vehicles and equipment. The following quarterly net sales detail illustrates the degree of fluctuation for the past five years: Fiscal Year Fiscal Ended First Second Third Fourth Year March 31 Quarter Quarter Quarter Quarter Total ----------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ----- ($ In Thousands) 2000 $283,847 $286,691 $283,520 $285,211 $1,139,269 1999 273,104 272,961 284,355 281,027 1,111,447 1998 256,923 260,806 267,699 254,990 1,040,418 1997 248,514 254,224 252,972 243,336 999,046 1996 239,216 254,292 252,817 244,168 990,493 Five-year 260,321 265,795 268,273 261,746 1,056,135 Average Percent 25% 25% 25% 25% 100% of Year Working Capital Items --------------------- The Company's products for the original equipment market are manufactured on an as ordered basis. Therefore, large inventories of such products are not necessary, nor is the amount of products returned significant. In the HVAC and aftermarket areas, due to the distribution systems and seasonal sales programs, varying levels of finished goods inventory are necessary. This inventory is spread throughout the distribution systems. In these areas, in general, the industry and the Company make use of extended terms of payment for customers on a limited and/or seasonal basis. Year 2000 --------- Information required hereunder regarding Year 2000 is incorporated by reference from the Company's 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders, pages 16 and 17, attached as Exhibit 13. Euro Conversion --------------- Information required hereunder regarding Euro Conversion is incorporated by reference from the Company's 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders, at page 17, attached as Exhibit 13. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES. ------ ---------- The Company's general offices, along with laboratory, experimental and tooling facilities, are maintained in Racine, Wisconsin. Additional technical support functions are located in Harrodsburg, Kentucky and Bernhausen, Germany. Almost all of the Company's manufacturing and larger distribution centers are owned outright. A few manufacturing facilities and numerous regional sales and service centers, distribution centers and offices are occupied under various lease arrangements. The Company's facilities, on an operating segment basis, are as follows: Type of Original Distributed European Corporate & Facility Equipment Products Operations Other Total -------- --------- ----------- ---------- ----------- ----- Manufacturing 16 7 12 -- 35 Distribution -- 4 1 -- 5 Sales & Service Centers/Offices 2 13 20 1 36 Joint Ventures 3 3 6 Total 18 24 36 4 82 The Company's facilities, on a geographic basis, are as follows: Type of North South Asia/ Central Facility America Europe America Pacific America Total -------- ------- ------ ------- ------- ------- ----- Manufacturing 22 13 -- -- -- 35 Distribution 4 1 -- -- -- 5 Sales & Service Centers/Offices 14 20 -- 1 1 36 Joint Ventures 1 3 1 1 -- 6 Total 41 37 1 2 1 82 Total square footage of the 82 facilities is approximately 8,263,635 square feet. The Company currently uses its facilities for the purposes as noted above. The Company's facilities, in general, are well maintained and conform to the sales, distribution, or manufacturing operations for which they are being used, and their productive capacity is, from time to time, adjusted and expanded as necessitated by product market considerations and customer growth. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. ------ ----------------- In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in various lawsuits and enforcement proceedings by private parties, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, other governmental agencies, and others in which claims, such as personal injury, property damage, or antitrust and trade regulation issues, are asserted against the Company. While the outcome of these proceedings is uncertain, in the opinion of the Company's management and counsel, any liabilities that may result from such proceedings are not reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company's liquidity, financial condition or results of operations. Many of the pending damage claims are covered by insurance and, in addition, the Company from time to time establishes reserves for uninsured liabilities. The Mitsubishi and Showa Litigation ----------------------------------- In November 1991, the Company filed a lawsuit against Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America, Inc., and Showa Aluminum Corporation, alleging infringement of the Company's patent on parallel-flow air-conditioning condensers. The suit seeks an injunction to prohibit continued infringement, an accounting for damages, a trebling of such damages for willful infringement, and reimbursement of attorneys' fees. In December 1991, the Company submitted a complaint to the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) requesting that the ITC ban the import and sale of parallel-flow air-conditioning condensers and systems or vehicles that contain them, which are the subject of the November 1991 lawsuit. In August, 1997, the ITC issued an Order excluding from U.S. import Showa condensers that infringe Modine Manufacturing Company's parallel-flow patent. The ITC's Order covers condensers, their parts, and certain products including them, such as air-conditioning kits and systems. It directs the U.S. Customs Service to exclude from importation into the United States such products manufactured by Showa Aluminum Corporation of Japan and Showa Aluminum Corporation of America. The decision is based on a Modine U.S. patent covering condensers with tube hydraulic diameters less than 0.04822 inches. The Showa companies must certify to Customs officials that any condenser items imported by them do not infringe Modine's parallel-flow patent. The Showa companies must also file annual reports with the ITC regarding their sales of Showa parallel- flow condensers in the United States. In July, 1994, Showa filed a lawsuit against the Company alleging infringement by the Company of certain Showa patents pertaining to condensers. In June 1995, the Company filed a motion for partial summary judgment against such lawsuit. In December of 1994, the Company filed another lawsuit against Mitsubishi and Showa pertaining to a newly issued patent on parallel-flow air-conditioning condensers. Both 1994 suits have been stayed pending the outcome of re-examination in the U.S. Patent Office of the patents involved. In October of 1999, the U.S. Patent Office Board of Appeals rejected the Company's 1994 PF patent which rejection is being appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In October of 1997, Modine was issued a Japanese patent covering parallel-flow air-conditioning condensers having tube hydraulic diameters less than 0.070 inches. In August of 1998, the Company filed a patent infringement suit in Japan against Showa with respect to this patent seeking an injunction and damages. Several patents have been issued to Modine by the European Patent Office, one having been rejected at the opposition level, which is being appealed and another having been approved at the opposition level. All legal and court costs associated with these cases have been expensed as they were incurred. Other previously reported legal proceedings have been settled or the issues resolved so as to not merit further reporting. Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, certain environmental proceedings are not deemed to be ordinary or routine proceedings incidental to the Company's business and are required to be reported in the Company's annual and/or quarterly reports. The Company is not currently a party to any such proceedings. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS. ------ --------------------------------------------------- Omitted as not applicable. PART II ------- ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED ------ ------------------------------------------------- STOCKHOLDER MATTERS. ------------------- The Company's Common Stock is quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers' Automated Quotation system ("NASDAQ") as a National Market issue. The Company's trading symbol is "MODI." The table below shows the range of high and low bid information for the Company's Common Stock for fiscal years 1999-00 and 1998-99. As of April 1, 2000, shareholders of record numbered approximately 5,914; it is estimated that beneficial owners numbered about 14,500. 1999-00 1998-99 --------------------------- --------------------------- Quarter High Low Dividends High Low Dividends First $34.00 $26.50 $.23 $37.500 $32.313 $.21 Second 34.13 24.25 .23 36.500 27.750 .21 Third 29.63 23.00 .23 38.625 26.625 .21 Fourth 26.69 21.00 .23 38.000 25.250 .21 ---- ---- TOTAL $.92 $.84 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Certain of the Company's financing agreements require it to maintain specific financial ratios and place certain limitations on the use of retained earnings for the payment of cash dividends and the acquisition of treasury stock. Under the most restrictive, $192,158,000 was available for these purposes at March 31, 2000. (However, dividend payments may not exceed $50,000,000 in any fiscal year.) Other loan agreements give certain existing unsecured lenders security equal to any future secured borrowing. In October 1986, the Company adopted a shareholder rights plan and issued one right for each share of common stock. The rights are not currently exercisable but will become exercisable 10 days after a shareholder has acquired 20 percent or more, or commenced a tender or exchange offer for 30 percent or more, of the Company's common stock. Each right will initially entitle the holder to purchase a unit of 1/100 Preferred Series A Participating Stock. During fiscal 1996-1997, the Company amended the Plan increasing the price from $21.25 to $95.00 per unit. In the event of certain mergers, sales of assets, or self-dealing transactions involving a 20 percent or more shareholder, each right not owned by such 20 percent or more shareholder will be modified so that it will then be exercisable for common stock having a market value of twice the exercise price of the right. The rights are redeemable in whole by the Company, at a price of $0.0125 per right, at any time before 20 percent or more of the Company's common stock has been acquired. On January 18, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an amendment to the Rights Agreement by extending the final expiration date of the Rights from October 27, 1996 to October 27, 2006. Accordingly, the Rights expire on October 27, 2006, unless previously redeemed. ITEM 6.
