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 thermal management 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 and European 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 and industrial equipment manufacturers. 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 2001 2000 1999 ---- ---- ---- Radiators & Radiator Cores 31% 31% 32% Vehicular Air Conditioning 10% 12% 12% Oil Coolers 17% 16% 16% Charge Air Coolers 9% 9% 8% Building HVAC 7% 7% 7% Modules/Packages 22% 22% 22% Miscellaneous 4% 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. From a growth perspective, we are pursuing strategies to grow our best-performing core businesses while increasing our participation in new, non-traditional markets that offer attractive growth potential. In our traditional markets, we will increase our market penetration through superior technology, improved service, and increased content per vehicle. We are increasing market penetration and content per vehicle by moving from components to systems and by establishing just-in-sequence assembly plants to provide more value to our customers. We are also focusing on the most promising new markets and new products. Consistent with that focus, on April 27, 2001, Modine completed the acquisition of Thermacore International, Inc., gaining entry into the electronics-cooling market. Thermacore competes in the fastest-growing segment of this new market, by designing, manufacturing and distributing thermal-management solutions for microprocessors and electronics applications in the computer, telecommunications, networking, and power-semiconductor markets. 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 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 20. Segment and Geographic Information" on pages 35-36 of our 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders. Exports ------- In addition, the Company exports to foreign countries and receives royalties from foreign licensees. Export sales as a percentage of total sales were 10%, 11% and 12% for fiscal years ended in 2001, 2000 and 1999 respectively. Estimated after-tax earnings on export sales as a percentage of total net earnings were 10%, 11% and 12% for fiscal years ended in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Royalties from foreign licensees as a percentage of total earnings were 27%, 5% and 6% for the last three fiscal years, respectively. Included in the royalty percentages reported for fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 are lump-sum payments received as partial settlement for past infringement of Modine's PF technology. As a percentage of total earnings these lump-sum payments were 23%, 1% and 3% for the last three fiscal years. Modine believes its international presence has positioned the Company to share profitably 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 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders and is incorporated herein by reference at Note 20 on pages 35-36 therein. Events Subsequent to the End of the Quarter ------------------------------------------- On June 8, 2001, the Company mailed its Annual Report to Shareholders and commented on its business outlook for the upcoming year. See Current Reports on Form 8-K at page 21 herein --- for further details. In addition, on April 27, 2001, Modine completed the acquisition of Thermacore International, Inc. See --- this Annual Report on Form 10-K at page 6, and Footnote 10 on pages 31-32 of the 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders for more 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 compete more effectively 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 49% of the Company's sales in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001. These customers, listed alphabetically, were: BMW, Caterpillar, DaimlerChrysler, Fiat, John Deere, International Truck (formerly Navistar International), MAN Truck, NAPA, Paccar and Volkswagen. One of these customers, BMW, accounted for approximately 11% of total Company sales in fiscal 2001. These sales were predominantly made in the European Operations segment. 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 sales agreements with customers to minimize investment risks and also to provide the customer with 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 2002. 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 2002. 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 2001 amounted to $25,074,000; in fiscal 2000 amounted to $20,528,000; and in fiscal 1999 amounted to $18,252,000. 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 protecting the environment and maintaining compliance with all environmental laws 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 year 2000, the Company's North American facilities achieved a 12% year-over-year reduction in waste. This is a continuation of the previous years' performance, and has resulted in a 40% overall waste reduction since 1996. 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 and investigative and/or remedial work is necessary to ensure sufficient protection to the environment. These expenditures can result despite the fact that most often they relate to facilities and sites where past operations followed practices and procedures that were considered acceptable under then-existing regulations. Six 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. The Company's potential liability with respect to these six sites will be significantly less than the total site remediation because the percentage of material attributable to Modine is relatively low. Environmental regulations, as well as the company's policy to improve its environmental management programs continuously, will require significant capital equipment expenditures over the coming years. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2001 capital expenditures related to environmental projects were $0.7 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 $1.1 million in fiscal 2002. Environmental expenses charged to current operations, including remediation costs, totaled about $2.8 million for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2001. These expenses include solid waste disposal as well as operating and maintenance costs incurred in conducting environmental compliance activities. Operating expenses of some facilities may increase during fiscal-year 2002, 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. Health and Safety performance continues to move in a positive direction. Recordable and Lost Workday (LWDII) incident rates improved from the previous year by 24% and 31%, respectively. Over the past five years, Modine has experienced a 60% reduction in its recordable incident rate and a 55 % reduction in its LWDII rate. The Company's St. Paul, MN facility was the first Modine location to become a "Star" plant. The Modine "Star" is awarded to those facilities that achieve 100% compliance with the Company's 22 Health and Safety elements and attain recordable and LWDII rates below the General Industry average for a twelve month period. The Modine Star program is modeled after the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). We have also made significant efforts to prevent Muscular Skeletal Disorders (MSD's). The Body Mechanic Job Observation Program has expanded to nearly all of our U.S. Original Equipment plants. This program involves the use of occupational therapists who observe employees performing their jobs and provide coaching on proper body mechanics, stretching, and off-the-job safety. In addition, these specialists are actively involved in the improvement of ergonomics in both existing and planned production processes. Each occupational therapist conducts plant visits on a weekly basis. Employees --------- The number of persons employed by the Company at March 31, 2001 was approximately 7,900. Seasonal Nature of Business --------------------------- Distributed Products may 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) 2001 $286,484 $269,775 $252,346 $256,790 $1,065,395 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 Five-year 269,775 268,891 268,178 264,271 1,071,115 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, which makes large inventories of such products unnecessary. In addition, the Company does not experience a significant amount of returned products. In the HVAC and aftermarket areas, due to the extensive distribution systems and seasonal sales programs, varying levels of finished goods inventory are necessary. This inventory is spread throughout the Company's 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. Euro Conversion --------------- Information required hereunder regarding Euro Conversion is incorporated by reference from the Company's 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders, at page 19, 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 Filderstadt, 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 17 9 11 -- 37 Distribution -- 5 -- -- 5 Sales & Service Centers/Offices 2 22 8 1 33 Joint Ventures 3 2 5 Total 19 36 22 3 80 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 14 -- -- -- 36 Distribution 5 1 -- -- -- 6 Sales & Service Centers/Offices 12 19 -- 1 1 33 Joint Ventures -- 2 2 1 -- 5 Total 39 36 2 2 1 80 The total space available within the Company's 80 facilities is approximately 8,464,877 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, reduced or expanded as necessary to meet changing market conditions. 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 accounting reserves for uninsured liabilities. The Mitsubishi and Showa Litigation ----------------------------------- Over the last 10 years Modine and Showa Aluminum Corporation (and Mitsubishi Motors in some cases) have instituted various lawsuits and legal proceedings against each other pertaining to Modine's PF(r) Parallel Flow technology and Showa's SC condenser. On July 14, 2000, Modine and Showa reached a settlement and license agreement. The agreement calls for cross-licensing of these technologies between the parties. As a result of the agreement and another with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Modine received, in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2001, payments totaling $17 million representing partial settlement for past infringement of Modine's PF technology. Subsequent payments of approximately $27 million are payable to Modine subject to confirmation of the validity of Modine's PF patents in Japan, the United States, and the European Union. Running royalties are applicable to future sales by Showa and Mitsubishi for the use of Modine's PF technology through the expiration of the corresponding patents in 2006-2008. All legal proceedings between the parties have been dismissed. In February 2000, Modine filed a complaint against Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation in the U. S. District Court in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, alleging infringement of its PF patent. 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 2000-01 and 1999-00. As of March 31, 2001, shareholders of record numbered approximately 5,600; it is estimated that beneficial owners numbered about 15,000. 2000-01 1999-00 ---------------------------------------------------------- Quarter High Low Dividends High Low Dividends First $28.31 $19.94 $ .25 $34.00 $26.50 $.23 Second 29.94 25.00 .25 34.13 24.25 .23 Third 29.38 19.63 .25 29.63 23.00 .23 Fourth 28.13 19.00 .25 26.69 21.00 .23 ----- ---- TOTAL $1.00 $.92 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 covenant dividend payments may not exceed $50,000,000 in any fiscal year. Cash dividend payments made in fiscal 2001 totaled $29,307,000. 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.
