Date: June 5, 1998. MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY By: D. R. JOHNSON ------------------------------- D. R. Johnson, President and Chief Operating Officer By: W. E. PAVLICK ------------------------------- W. E. Pavlick, Senior Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary EX-20 2 EXHIBIT 20 NEWS RELEASE Immediate Gerald J. Sweda (414) 636-1361 Modine annual sales increase should approach ten percent RACINE, Wis., June 5, 1998 -- Modine Manufacturing Company's annual sales increase should approach ten percent, excluding acquisitions, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1999, according to the company's annual report that was mailed to shareholders today. In the report's letter to shareholders, Chairman Richard T. Savage and President and CEO Donald R. Johnson further state: "Our short-term sales outlook is strong, based on customer projections for their businesses and on our own sales and marketing plans. Our European operations are expected to record the greatest growth, largely due to a major new program in the automotive sector. "Looking forward, Modine will continue to expand its market for heating and cooling solutions through technology leadership and product innovation. Our long-term strategy is to continue doubling sales approximately every six years as long as the economies in our major geographical markets remain healthy." Modine's results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, set records with sales at $1,040,418,000 and net earnings of $72,471,000, or $2.39 per diluted share. Modine is an independent, worldwide leader in heat-transfer and heat-storage technology, serving vehicular, industrial, commercial, and building markets. This news release's forward-looking statements about sales involve risks and uncertainties, as detailed on page 17 of the 1998 annual report to shareholders. EX-99 3 EXHIBIT 99 IMPORTANT FACTORS AND ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS These cautionary statements are being made pursuant to the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Act. Investors are cautioned that any forward-looking statements made by Modine are not guarantees of future performance and that actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including: customers' integration of products currently being supplied by the Company; the success of Modine or its competitors in obtaining the business of the customer base; the ability to pass on increased costs to customers; variations in currency-exchange rates in view of a large portion of the Company's business being nondomestic; the impact of Year 2000 compliance by the Company or those entities with which the Company does business; labor relations at Modine, its customers, and its suppliers, which may affect the continuous supply of product; and the ability to improve acquisitions' operations. In making statements about Modine's fiscal 1998/99 operating results, management has assumed relatively stable economic conditions in the United States and worldwide, no unanticipated swings in the business cycles affecting customer industries, and a reasonable legislative and regulatory climate in those countries where Modine does business. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on Modine's forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 8-K Report's writing. -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
