Commenting on the recent results, Modine President and Chief Executive Officer Thomas A. Burke said, “Although we anticipated fiscal 2009 to be a challenging year as we continue to implement our four-point recovery plan, our second quarter performance was clearly a disappointment.  During this period of heavy restructuring, our business, like a number of others in our sector, has been buffeted by the impact of economic, financial and credit market turmoil, sluggish North American commercial vehicle production volumes and, more recently, a marked decline in European automotive production volumes.  These economic and end-market conditions, combined with continued operating inefficiencies in our Original Equipment – North America segment and a shift in sales mix toward lower margin products in our Original Equipment – Europe segment, contributed to a 170 basis point decline in the company’s gross margin in comparison to the prior year.  We are continuing to execute on our four-point recovery plan and are taking a number of proactive steps to address our business performance and underlying cost structure.  We remain encouraged by new program opportunities in our core thermal management business.  Meanwhile, as a prudent measure, until economic and end-market conditions improve, the company is reducing its fiscal 2009 guidance and closely evaluating its debt covenant compliance.”

Second Quarter Overview
 
·
Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, sales growth in South America (+14 percent) and Commercial Products (+11 percent) was offset by declining sales in the Original Equipment – Asia segment (-15 percent) and the Original Equipment – Europe segment (-8 percent);

 
 

 
 
Second Quarter Fiscal 2009 Results – Page 2
 
 
·
Disappointing results continued in the Original Equipment – North America segment due to ongoing plant closures and program launch-related operating inefficiencies and the slower-than-anticipated recovery in the North American truck market;
 
·
Gross margin in the Original Equipment – Europe segment was adversely impacted by lower volumes as well as a shift in sales mix toward lower margin products;
 
·
The Original Equipment – Asia segment results reflected a significant volume decline due to strike-related activities at a key customer;
 
·
Restructuring and repositioning charges totaled $5.2 million, including the impact of the recently announced reduction in managerial workforce in the company’s Racine, Wisconsin, headquarters;
 
·
Impairment charges totaling $3.0 million were recorded related to programs which were discontinued or unable to support their asset bases;
 
·
Foreign exchange losses of $3.2 million were recorded on inter-company loans based on the substantial strengthening of the U.S. dollar to the Brazilian real and South Korean won during the quarter; and
 
·
Tax valuation allowance charges of $4.6 million were recorded against net deferred tax assets in the U.S. and South Korea.

Accelerating Actions to Address Business Performance
“To address our business performance, we are proceeding with a number of decisive measures to position the company to attain a more competitive cost base and more effectively capitalize on growth opportunities in our respective niche thermal management markets,” said Bradley C. Richardson, Executive Vice President – Corporate Strategy and Chief Financial Officer.  “These include the following previously-announced actions:
 
·
The closure of three manufacturing facilities in North America and another in Europe, which are proceeding on track and expected to result in annualized savings/benefits in an adjusted range of $16 million to $20 million when fully implemented by the end of fiscal 2010;
 
·
The intended divestiture of our South Korean-based vehicular HVAC business, which has been unable to attain the revenue diversification, profitability or return on average capital employed targets we envisioned when we acquired the business in 2004;
 
·
Realignment of our North American region organization structure resulting in early retirements and a reduction in our Racine workforce, which impacted approximately 15 percent of our managerial headcount and is anticipated to result in an estimated $3 million in annualized savings;
 
·
The elimination of post-retirement medical benefits for Medicare eligible participants resulting in an estimated $3 million in annualized savings;
 
·
The licensing of specific Modine-developed fuel cell technology to Bloom Energy for a one-time payment of $12 million, enabling Modine to focus more broadly on fuel cell technology development to meet growing demand for alternative energy solutions;
 
·
The ramp-up of production at our newly opened manufacturing plants in China, Hungary and Mexico and the start of production in our new India facility in January 2009; and
 
·
Investment in a new state-of-the-art facility in Austria, which is expected to open in mid-calendar year 2009 and replace a facility where demand has outgrown capacity, to support continued growth in refrigerant components and systems.”

“The combination of this period of heavy restructuring and the associated risks, along with the overall decline in the credit markets and ensuing economic uncertainty, make it even more difficult to predict future conditions within our served markets,” Richardson continued. “Amid what is tantamount to a near perfect storm of negative influences on our business, we believe our four-point plan remains central to positioning Modine to return to profitability and achieve our long-term return on average capital employed objective.  Our four-point plan focuses on the following elements:
 
·
Manufacturing realignment;
 
·
Portfolio rationalization;
 
·
Selling, general & administrative (SG&A) expense reduction; and
 
·
Capital allocation discipline.
As we execute on our recovery plan, we continue to focus on higher margin programs with increased emphasis on emissions and fuel efficiency, as well as our own strategic emphasis on thermal management, technological differentiation, and diversification of products, markets, customers and geographies.  As evidenced by our recently announced actions, we are moving decisively with a sense of urgency to address underlying performance issues in the business and position the company to attain its long term performance targets.”

(d)
Net underlying decrease consisted of the impact of volume changes, product mix, operating inefficiencies, and other net negative factors

Sales: Second quarter sales from continuing operations increased 1 percent to $433.3 million from $428.7 million reported in the second quarter of fiscal 2008.  Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, underlying sales decreased by $8.5 million, or 2 percent, with the largest sales decreases in the Original Equipment – Europe and Asia segments.

Gross Profit:  Second quarter gross profit was $54.9 million, or 12.7 percent of sales, compared to gross profit of $61.9 million, or 14.4 percent of sales, in the same period last year.  The second quarter gross margin reflects the impact of lower fixed cost absorption with the declining sales volumes in the Original Equipment – Europe and Asia segments, the impact of changing product mix toward lower margin programs in the Original Equipment – Europe segment and operating inefficiencies in the Original Equipment – North America segment.  The company is addressing its operating inefficiencies through restructuring its North American manufacturing footprint to move toward scaled facilities with a greater focus on operational excellence to support its global customers.  Further, the company continues its focus on achieving price realization with certain customers for select product lines.

SG&A Expenses:  The following table reconciles the significant differences in SG&A expenses between the second quarter of fiscal 2008 and the second quarter of fiscal 2009:

   
($ in millions)

  $ 61.6  

 
(e)
The net underlying decrease of $2.2 million is primarily related to improvements made through the implementation of the company’s four-point recovery plan.

(Loss) Earnings from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes:  The second quarter of fiscal 2009 resulted in a loss from continuing operations before income taxes of $16.7 million, compared to earnings from continuing operations before income taxes of $5.6 million in the same period last year.  The reduction in gross profit, the absence of the pension freeze and airplane sale, the incremental restructuring and repositioning charges of $4.6 million and the impairment charges of $3.0 million were the primary factors contributing to this year-over-year decline.

 
 

 

Second Quarter Fiscal 2009 Results – Page 4 
 
(Loss) Earnings from Continuing Operations:  The second quarter of fiscal 2009 resulted in a loss from continuing operations of $14.1 million, or ($0.44) per fully diluted share, compared to earnings from continuing operations of $10.2 million, or $0.32 per fully diluted share, in the same period last year.  Consistent with the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2008 and first quarter of fiscal 2009, the company continues to be unable to realize deferred tax assets in the U.S. and South Korea, which resulted in a valuation allowance charge of $4.6 million established against these deferred tax assets during the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

Cash and Liquidity
Operating cash flows were $40.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 2008, compared with $22.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2007, primarily related to the company’s efforts to reduce its working capital.  The company’s net debt has remained consistent at $193.1 million at September 30, 2008 compared to $193.0 million at March 31, 2008.  The debt to capital (debt plus shareholders’ equity) ratio at September 30, 2008 of 37.3 percent increased from 32.4 percent at March 31, 2008 based on an increasing debt balance over this period, which has been offset by a corresponding increase in cash over this same time frame.  The company continues to focus on maintaining its net debt at or below the March 31, 2008 balance.

The company’s unsecured debt agreements require it to satisfy quarter-end financial ratios of consolidated total debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA (leverage ratio), and consolidated EBIT to consolidated interest expense (interest coverage ratio), as such terms are used in the debt agreements.  The leverage ratio at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009 is 2.3 to 1.0, which remains in compliance with the required ratio of not greater than 3.0 to 1.0. The interest coverage ratio at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009 is 2.4 to 1.0, which remains in compliance with the required ratio of not less than 1.75 to 1.0.  The interest coverage ratio becomes more restrictive in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009, requiring a ratio of not less than 2.25 to 1.0, and again more restrictive in the second quarter of fiscal 2010, requiring a ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.0.

The company closely evaluates its expected ability to remain in compliance with the interest coverage ratio based on the more restrictive nature of this covenant, as well as the sensitivity of this covenant to changes in financial results.  The recent trends impacting the company’s performance, including the slower-than-anticipated recovery in the North American truck market, the operating inefficiencies in the Original Equipment – North America segment, and the overall decline in the credit markets and ensuing economic uncertainty which has contributed to declining revenues, especially within the Original Equipment – Europe segment, have put additional pressure on the company’s ability to remain in compliance with the interest coverage ratio.  These downward trends are expected to continue to adversely affect the company’s financial results in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009.  Depending on severity, duration and timing of the impact of these trends, the company may need to work with its lenders to seek to obtain a waiver of or amend the interest coverage ratio covenant in the near future.  In contemplation of this possibility, the company is developing a contingency plan that it would implement in the event that it is not able to obtain a waiver or amendment of the interest coverage ratio covenant with its lenders.   The company believes that it will be able to maintain compliance with the interest coverage ratio covenant by either working with its lenders or through implementation of the contingency plan.

Guidance Summary
Based on current operating conditions and continued economic uncertainty with respect to the credit market impact on the company’s end markets, as well as recent strengthening of the U.S. dollar in comparison to foreign exchange rates, and other factors, including the expectations discussed below, the company is reducing its fiscal 2009 guidance as follows:

Second Quarter Fiscal 2009 Results – Page 5
 
As the company looks to the remainder of fiscal 2009, it has the following expectations:
 
·
Continued softness in the North American heavy-duty truck market with Class 8 build rates now projected at 200,000 units for both fiscal 2009 and calendar 2008;
 
·
Significant softening in the European and North American commercial vehicle and automotive markets due to the impact of economic uncertainty caused by the credit market turmoil;
 
·
Seasonal patterns in the business with lower volumes around winter holidays due to normal customer-driven plant shutdowns, affecting the company’s third quarter earnings;
 
·
Restructuring activities are expected to have an estimated $17 million negative impact on the fiscal 2009 pre-tax loss, comprised of an estimated $10 million negative impact on gross margins, including $7 million in repositioning costs and $3 million in plant inefficiencies and incremental scrap related to the plant closures in North America and Europe, an estimated $3 million of restructuring expense related to severance charges, and an estimated $4 million negative impact on SG&A expenses;
 
·
The U.S. dollar will remain strong in comparison to other foreign currencies, most notably the euro, South Korean won and Brazilian real;
 
·
A significantly higher effective tax rate, based on the expectation that the company will be unable to realize deferred tax assets in the U.S. and South Korea; and
 
·
The majority of the $12 million licensing payment from Bloom Energy will be recognized as income in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2009.

The above guidance assumes the South Korean business will continue to be reported as a continuing operation.  Depending on the success of the intended plan to divest of this business, the South Korean business may become classified as held for sale and as a discontinued operation at some point during fiscal 2009.  If this were to occur, the financial results of the South Korean business would be excluded from continuing operations.  This would impact the above guidance by reducing sales by approximately $200 million, increasing gross margin by approximately 60 basis points, and reducing EBITDA by approximately $5 million to $7 million.  Pre-tax guidance would not be impacted as this business is projected to be break-even.  Given the continued underperformance of the South Korean business and the unprecedented market conditions being experienced in the company’s industry segments and others, Modine’s ability to recover its investment in the South Korean business on a “held for sale” basis may be challenging and could result in a material impairment charge or loss on sale in a future period.  The above guidance excludes any potential charge which may need to be recognized related to this intended divestiture.

Change in Accounting for International Operations
The company’s second quarter results reflect a change in the company’s accounting principles, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – A Replacement of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20 and SFAS No. 3,” with respect to the accounting for the company’s international operations.  Beginning April 1, 2008, the company changed the fiscal year end for its international operations from February 28 to March 31.  The one-month reporting lag was eliminated because it was no longer required to achieve a timely consolidation due to improvements in the company’s information technology systems and processes.  Fiscal 2008 results have been restated to reflect this adjustment, which had the effect of increasing reported second quarter fiscal 2008 net earnings by $0.3 million, or $0.01 per fully diluted share.  In addition, the company is providing, in the accompanying financial table, restated financial highlights for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2008 as an aid to investors’ comparative analysis of the company’s financial performance.

Forward-Looking Statements
Statements made in this press release regarding future matters are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on Modine’s current expectations. The company’s actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements because of certain risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the company’s ability to either successfully obtain a waiver of or amend its debt agreements or implement the contingency plan to remain in compliance with the interest coverage ratio financial covenant; the impact which the current economic uncertainty and credit market turmoil could have on the company, its customers and suppliers; the company’s ability to limit capital spending and/or consummate planned divestitures; the company’s ability to maintain adequate liquidity to carry out restructuring programs while investing for future growth; the company’s ability to fully recover the book value of its South Korean business if divested; the company’s ability to successfully implement its restructuring plans and drive cost reductions as a result; the company’s ability to continue to service its customers during the implementation of any restructuring plan; the avoidance of inefficiencies in the transition of products from plants to be closed to plants continuing in operation; factors impacting the Original Equipment -  North America segment’s operating results; the ability of the company, its customers and suppliers to achieve projected sales and production levels; unanticipated product or manufacturing difficulties; fluctuations in currency values, in particular, changes in the relative values of the U.S. dollar, won, euro and real; the ability of the company to obtain profitable business at its new facilities in China, Hungary, Mexico, India and Austria and to produce quality products at these facilities from business obtained; international economic changes and challenges; and other factors affecting the company’s business prospects discussed in filings made by the company, from time to time, with the Securities and Exchange Commission including the factors discussed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, and in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section in Item 7 of the company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K as the same may be updated from time to time.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.  Modine’s financial results, as reported herein, are preliminary and subject to possible adjustments.

 *Non-GAAP Financial Disclosures
Financial information excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes in this press release are not measures that are defined in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These items are measures that management believes are important to adjust for in order to have a meaningful comparison to prior and future periods and to provide a basis for future projections and for estimating our earnings growth prospects. Non-GAAP measures are used by management as a performance measure to judge profitability of our business absent the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes. Management analyzes the company’s business performance and trends excluding these amounts.  These measures, as well as EBITDA, Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE) and Net Debt (which are defined below), provide a more consistent view of performance than the closest GAAP equivalent for management and investors. Management compensates for this by using these measures in combination with the GAAP measures.  However, these measures are not, and should not be, viewed as substitutes for the GAAP measures.  The presentations of the non-GAAP measures in this press release are made alongside the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Definition – Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
The sum of, net (loss) earnings and adding back provision for income taxes, interest expense, discontinued operations, depreciation and amortization; this is a financial measure of the profit generated excluding the above mentioned items.
 
Definition – Net Debt
The sum of short- and long-term debt, less cash on hand; this is an indicator of the company’s debt position after considering on hand cash balances.
