MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In millions, 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 applied on a basis consistent with those principles used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements of Modine Manufacturing Company (“Modine” or the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, except in regards to the new accounting guidance adopted, as described below.  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 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes in Modine's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017.

Acquisition of Luvata HTS
On November 30, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of multiple companies held by Luvata Heat Transfer Solutions II AB, a company incorporated in Sweden.  Combined, these acquired companies represented the Luvata Heat Transfer Solutions (“Luvata HTS”) business.  See Note 2 for additional information.

New Accounting Guidance:

Pension costs
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to the income statement presentation of pension and postretirement costs.  This guidance requires companies to continue to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost within the same financial statement line item as other employee compensation costs; however, other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented outside of results from operations.  The Company adopted this guidance, on a retrospective basis, for its first quarter of fiscal 2018.  As a result, during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recorded $0.8 million of its net periodic benefit cost within other income and expense.  In addition, the Company reclassified net periodic benefit cost related to its pension and postretirement plans totaling $0.7 million ($0.3 million from cost of sales and $0.4 million from selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses) to other income and expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

Share-based compensation
In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions.  The Company adopted this guidance for its first quarter of fiscal 2018.  The Company elected to account for forfeitures in the period in which they occur and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity.  In addition, the Company prospectively adopted the guidance requiring all excess tax benefits or deficiencies to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit when awards are settled.  The provisions of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.  As a result of its adoption, the Company recorded a $0.4 million increase to both deferred tax assets and equity as of April 1, 2017.

Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued new comprehensive lease accounting guidance that supersedes existing lease accounting guidance. Upon adoption of this new guidance, the Company will be required to recognize most leases on its balance sheet. This guidance is effective for the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Revenue recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance that outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The core principle of the new guidance is that companies are to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements intended to provide users of financial statements with comprehensive information about revenue arising from contracts with customers. This new guidance is effective for the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2019 and allows for either a full-retrospective or a modified-retrospective transition method.

The Company is currently in the process of assessing customer contracts and evaluating contractual provisions that may result in a change in the timing of revenue recognized in comparison with current guidance.  Under current guidance, the Company generally recognizes revenue when products are shipped and risk of loss has transferred to the customer.  The Company is evaluating whether contractual provisions may provide an enforceable right to payment for its customized products, which may require revenue recognition prior to the product being shipped to the customer.  In addition, the Company is evaluating pricing provisions contained in certain of its customer contracts to determine the appropriate timing of revenue recognition based upon the new guidance.  The Company continues to evaluate the impact this new guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: Acquisition of Luvata HTS

On November 30, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of a 100% ownership interest in the Luvata HTS business for consideration totaling $415.6 million ($388.2 million, net of cash acquired).  Now operating as Modine’s Commercial and Industrial Solutions (“CIS”) segment, this business is a leading global supplier of coils, coolers and coatings to the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration industry.  For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company included $157.5 million of net sales and operating income of $10.8 million within its consolidated statement of operations attributable to CIS operations.

The table below summarizes the Company’s allocation of the purchase price and includes measurement-period adjustments recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.  These measurement-period adjustments resulted in an increase in goodwill totaling $1.3 million, primarily due to increases to income tax reserves.  At the time the June 30, 2017 financial statements were finalized, the Company was awaiting additional information to determine the fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed and, therefore, the allocation of purchase price is considered preliminary.  The Company expects to complete its evaluation of these matters in the second or third quarter of fiscal 2018.  These matters primarily relate to income tax reserves and contingent liabilities, including reserves for trade compliance, environmental, legal and product warranty matters.

The supplemental pro forma financial information includes adjustments for: (i) quarterly amortization and depreciation expense totaling $3.2 million for acquired tangible and intangible assets, (ii) estimated quarterly interest expense of $3.5 million resulting from acquisition-related borrowings, and (iii) the estimated income tax impacts related to the pro forma adjustments, considering the statutory tax rates within the applicable jurisdictions.  In addition, the pro forma financial information assumes that $1.4 million of fiscal 2017 acquisition-related transaction costs were incurred during fiscal 2016.  The pro forma financial information does not reflect expected cost or revenue synergies.

Note 3: Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

·
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
 
MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In millions, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
 
·
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 are observable in active markets.
·
Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs are not observable.

When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such measurements as Level 1.  In some cases, where market prices are not available, the Company uses observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified as Level 2.  If quoted or observable market prices are not available, the Company determines fair value based upon valuation models that use, where possible, market-based data such as interest rates, yield curves or currency rates. These measurements are classified as Level 3.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term debt approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company holds trading securities in deferred compensation trusts to fund obligations under certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans. The securities’ fair values, which are recorded as other noncurrent assets, are determined based upon quoted prices from active markets and classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company’s deferred compensation obligations, which are recorded as other noncurrent liabilities, are recorded at the fair values of the investments held by the trusts.  The fair values of the Company’s trading securities and deferred compensation obligations each totaled $5.3 million and $5.0 million at June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively.  The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is disclosed in Note 14.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company contributed $1.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, to its U.S. pension plans.

Note 5: Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s stock-based incentive programs consist of the following: (1) a long-term incentive compensation program for officers and other executives that consists of stock awards, stock options, and performance-based stock awards granted for retention and performance, (2) a discretionary equity program for other management and key employees, and (3) stock awards and/or stock options for non-employee directors.

The Company calculates compensation expense based upon the fair value of the instruments at the time of grant and subsequently recognizes expense ratably over the respective vesting periods of the stock-based awards.  The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $2.3 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The performance component of awards granted under the Company’s long-term incentive plan during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 were based upon both a target three-year average return on average capital employed and a target three-year average revenue growth at the end of the three-year performance period.

Note 8: Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 13.4 percent and 25.2 percent, respectively.

The most significant factors impacting the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared with the prior-year period, were a $3.5 million benefit for a development tax credit in Hungary, changes in the valuation allowance related to certain foreign jurisdictions, and changes in the mix of foreign and domestic earnings.  At June 30, 2017, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions totaled $46.4 million and valuation allowances against certain U.S. deferred tax assets totaled $5.6 million, as it is more likely than not these assets will not be realized based upon historical financial results.  The Company will continue to provide a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in each of the applicable jurisdictions until the need for a valuation allowance is eliminated.  The need for a valuation allowance is eliminated when the Company determines it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized.  The Company may release the valuation allowance (approximately $3.0 million) in a foreign jurisdiction in late fiscal 2018 or in fiscal 2019.

Accounting policies for interim reporting require the Company to adjust its effective tax rate each quarter to be consistent with its estimated annual effective tax rate.  Under this methodology, the Company applies its estimated annual income tax rate to its year-to-date ordinary earnings to derive its income tax provision each quarter.  The Company records the tax impacts of certain significant, unusual or infrequently occurring items in the period in which they occur.  The Company excluded the impact of its operations in certain foreign locations from the overall effective tax rate methodology and recorded them discretely based upon year-to-date results because the Company anticipates net operating losses for the full fiscal year in these jurisdictions.  The Company estimates that reductions to unrecognized tax benefits for the remainder of fiscal 2018 will total $2.7 million due to lapses in statutes of limitations and audit settlements, which, if recognized, would have a $1.9 million impact on the effective tax rate.

Provisions in the Company’s amended and restated credit agreement, Senior Note agreements, and various foreign credit agreements require the Company to maintain compliance with various covenants and include certain cross-default clauses.  Under its primary debt agreements in the U.S., the Company has provided liens on substantially all domestic assets.  In addition, the term loans require prepayments, as defined in the credit agreement, in the event the Company’s annual excess cash flow exceeds defined levels or in the event of certain asset sales.  The Company is also subject to a leverage ratio covenant, which requires the Company to limit its consolidated indebtedness, less a portion of its cash balance, both as defined by the credit agreement, to no more than three and one-quarter times consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain other adjustments (“Adjusted EBITDA”).  As permitted by the credit agreements and in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Luvata HTS, this leverage ratio covenant limit has been temporarily raised to no more than three and three-quarters times Adjusted EBITDA through the second quarter of fiscal 2018, and thereafter to no more than three and one-half times Adjusted EBITDA through the first quarter of fiscal 2019.  The Company is also subject to an interest expense coverage ratio, which requires the Company to maintain Adjusted EBITDA of at least three times consolidated interest expense.  The Company was in compliance with its debt covenants as of June 30, 2017.
 
The Company estimates the fair value of long-term debt using discounted future cash flows at rates offered to the Company for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities.  At June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the carrying value of Modine’s long-term debt approximated fair value, with the exception of the Senior Notes, which had an aggregate fair value of approximately $167.0 million and $170.0 million, respectively.  The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.  Refer to Note 3 for the definition of a Level 2 fair value measurement.

Note 15: Contingencies and Litigation

Environmental
The United States Environmental Protection Agency has designated the Company as a potentially responsible party for remediation of three sites.  These sites are: Auburn Incinerator, Inc./Lake Calumet Cluster (Illinois), Cam-Or (Indiana) and a scrap metal site known as Chemetco (Illinois).  In addition, Modine is voluntarily participating in the care of an inactive landfill owned by the City of Trenton (Missouri).  These sites are not Company-owned; however, they 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.  The Company accrues for costs anticipated for the remedial settlement of the sites listed above if they are probable and can be reasonably determined.  Costs anticipated for the remedial settlement of the sites listed above that are not probable or cannot be reasonably determined at this time have not been accrued; however, the Company does not believe any potential costs would be material to the Company’s financial position due to its relatively small portion of contributed materials.

The Company has recorded environmental accruals for obligations assumed as a result of its recent acquisition of Luvata HTS, the most significant of which relates to historical soil and groundwater contamination remediation and monitoring for a manufacturing site in the United States.  In addition, the Company has recorded environmental investigation and remediation accruals related to subsurface contamination at its former manufacturing facility in the Netherlands, investigative work related to a previously-owned manufacturing facility in the United States, and groundwater contamination at its manufacturing facility in Brazil, along with accruals for lesser environmental matters at certain other facilities in the United States.  These accruals 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.  The accruals for these environmental matters totaled $16.5 million and $16.8 million at June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively.  As additional information becomes available, the Company will re-assess the liabilities related to these matters and revise the estimated accruals, if necessary.  Based upon currently available information, the Company believes the ultimate outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position.  However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could occur, including significant monetary damages.

Brazil antitrust investigation
As of March 31, 2017, the Company accrued $4.7 million (BRL 15 million) related to alleged violations of Brazil’s antitrust regulations.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company paid $4.7 million to Brazil’s Administrative Council for Economic Defense to settle this matter.

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, governmental agencies and/or others in which claims are asserted against Modine.  In the opinion of management, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such lawsuits or proceedings are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

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

When we use the terms “Modine,” “we,” “us,” the “Company,” or “our” in this report, 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, 2017 was the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

On November 30, 2016, we acquired Luvata Heat Transfer Solutions (“Luvata HTS”) for consideration totaling $415.6 million ($388.2 million, net of cash acquired).  Now operating as our Commercial and Industrial Solutions (“CIS”) segment, this business is a leading global supplier of coils, coolers and coatings to the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration industry.

First Quarter Highlights :  Net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 increased $168.3 million, or 48 percent, from the first quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily due to $157.5 million of incremental sales from our CIS segment and higher sales in our Asia, Americas, and Building HVAC segments.  Gross profit increased $26.2 million, including $25.3 million contributed by our CIS segment.  Gross margin declined 70 basis points to 17.2 percent, as the benefit of higher sales volume was more than offset by unfavorable material costs and incremental depreciation and amortization expense resulting from purchase accounting for Luvata HTS.  Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $15.0 million, primarily due to $14.5 million of SG&A expenses in our CIS segment.  Our net earnings of $17.4 million represent an $8.5 million improvement compared with the first quarter of the prior year.

First quarter net sales of $515.5 million were $168.3 million, or 48 percent, higher than the first quarter of the prior year, primarily due to $157.5 million of incremental sales from our CIS segment and higher sales in our Asia, Americas, and Building HVAC segments, partially offset by lower sales in our Europe segment and a $4.7 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.

First quarter gross profit increased $26.2 million, yet gross margin declined 70 basis points to 17.2 percent.  The decline in gross margin was primarily due to unfavorable material costs and incremental depreciation and amortization expense resulting from purchase accounting for Luvata HTS, partially offset by higher sales volume.  In addition, gross profit was negatively impacted by $0.7 million from foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Many of our customer contracts include material pass-through provisions, on a lag-basis, that allow us to prospectively adjust customer pricing.  We expect these provisions will aid in alleviating the negative gross margin impact of higher metals costs as we progress through fiscal 2018.
 
SG&A expenses increased $15.0 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2017 to the first quarter of fiscal 2018.  SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 120 basis points compared with the first quarter of the prior year.  The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to $14.5 million of SG&A expenses in our CIS segment.  Foreign currency exchange rate changes favorably impacted SG&A expenses during the first quarter by $0.5 million .

Restructuring expenses of $1.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 decreased $0.6 million compared with the prior year and primarily consisted of costs related to plant consolidation activities and severance expenses in the Americas segment.

Operating income of $27.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 increased $11.8 million compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and included $10.8 million of operating income contributed by our CIS segment.

Interest expense increased $3.6 million to $6.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, primarily due to the debt issued in November 2016 to finance a significant portion of our acquisition of Luvata HTS.

Our provision for income taxes of $2.7 million decreased $0.3 million compared with the first quarter of the prior year.  Our tax provision in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 included a $3.5 million benefit related to a development tax credit in Hungary.  We expect the full-year benefit for this tax credit to total approximately $10.0 million for fiscal 2018.  We do not expect the impact of this tax credit to be significant in fiscal 2019.  It is possible that we may release the tax valuation allowance (approximately $3.0 million) in a foreign jurisdiction in late fiscal 2018 or in fiscal 2019.  See Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding income tax valuation allowances.

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Since the date we acquired Luvata HTS (November 30, 2016), we have included CIS segment financial results within our consolidated results of operations.  As CIS financial results were not included in our consolidated financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, we have not provided separate discussion of our CIS segment below. The contributions of our CIS segment are included within the discussion of our consolidated financial results above.  The following is a discussion of our segment results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

Americas net sales increased $8.3 million, or 6 percent, from the first quarter of fiscal 2017 to the first quarter of fiscal 2018, primarily due to higher sales volume to off-highway customers, increased sales in Brazil, and a $1.3 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by lower sales volume to commercial vehicle customers in North America.  Gross profit increased $1.3 million, primarily due to higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable material costs.  SG&A expenses decreased $0.4 million, primarily due to ongoing cost-control initiatives.  Restructuring expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 of $1.4 million consisted primarily of costs related to plant consolidation activities in North America and targeted headcount reductions in Brazil.  Operating income increased $2.5 million, primarily due to higher gross profit and lower restructuring expenses.

Europe net sales decreased $9.7 million, or 7 percent, from the first quarter of fiscal 2017 to the first quarter of fiscal 2018, primarily due to the planned wind-down of certain commercial vehicle programs and a $3.4 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by higher tooling sales.  Gross profit decreased $6.0 million and gross margin declined 310 basis points to 14.2 percent, primarily due to unfavorable material costs and lower sales volume.  In addition, gross profit was unfavorably impacted by $0.4 million from foreign currency exchange rate changes.  SG&A expenses increased $0.8 million, primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses.  Restructuring expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 of $0.3 million consisted primarily of equipment transfer costs.  Operating income decreased $7.4 million, primarily due to lower gross profit and higher SG&A expenses.

Asia net sales increased $10.5 million, or 42 percent, from the first quarter of fiscal 2017 to the first quarter of fiscal 2018, primarily due to higher sales volume to automotive customers in China and India and to off-highway customers in all of our geographic markets, partially offset by a $0.6 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Gross profit increased $1.9 million, primarily due to higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable material costs.  SG&A expenses remained relatively flat compared with the prior year, and decreased 350 basis points as a percentage of sales.  Operating income of $3.3 million increased $1.8 million, primarily due to higher gross profit.

Building HVAC net sales increased $3.1 million, or 8 percent, from the first quarter of fiscal 2017 to the first quarter of fiscal 2018, primarily due to higher air conditioning product sales in the U.K. and higher school ventilation and heating product sales in North America, partially offset by a $2.2 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Gross profit increased $1.1 million and gross margin improved 80 basis points to 25.9 percent, primarily due to higher sales volume.  In addition, gross profit was unfavorably impacted by $0.4 million from foreign currency exchange rate changes.  SG&A expenses decreased $0.7 million, primarily due to lower compensation-related expenses, including the impact of previous headcount reductions, and a $0.3 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Operating income of $3.1 million increased $2.2 million, primarily due to higher gross profit and lower SG&A expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operating activities, our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2017 of $41.5 million, and an available borrowing capacity of $135.6 million under lines of credit provided by banks in the United States and abroad.  Given our extensive international operations, approximately $39.0 million of our cash and cash equivalents are held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries.  Amounts held by non-U.S. subsidiaries are available for general corporate use; however, these funds may be subject to U.S. tax if repatriated.  We have not encountered, and do not expect to encounter, any difficulty meeting the liquidity requirements of our global operations.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $18.7 million, which was a $17.1 million increase compared with the same period in the prior year.  This increase in operating cash flow primarily resulted from an increase in operating earnings and favorable net changes in working capital, partially offset by payments of $4.7 million to settle a legal matter in Brazil (see Note 15 for additional information).  Capital expenditures of $21.6 million during the first three months of fiscal 2018 increased $7.1 million compared with the same period in the prior year, primarily due to equipment purchases to expand our manufacturing capacity in China, tooling and equipment purchases to support new product launches, and capital expenditures by our recently-acquired CIS segment.

Our debt agreements require us to maintain compliance with various covenants.  The term loans require prepayments, as defined in the credit agreement, in the event our annual excess cash flow exceeds defined levels or in the event of certain asset sales.  In addition, under our primary debt agreements in the U.S., we are subject to a leverage ratio covenant, which requires us to limit our consolidated indebtedness, less a portion of our cash balance, both as defined by the credit agreement, to no more than three and one-quarter times consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain other adjustments (“Adjusted EBITDA”).  As permitted by the credit agreements and in connection with our acquisition of Luvata HTS, the leverage ratio has been temporarily raised to no more than three and three-quarters times Adjusted EBITDA through the second quarter of fiscal 2018, and thereafter to no more than three and one-half times Adjusted EBITDA through the first quarter of fiscal 2019.  We are also subject to an interest expense coverage ratio, which requires us to maintain Adjusted EBITDA of at least three times consolidated interest expense.
 
Our leverage ratio at June 30, 2017 was 3.0, which was below the maximum permitted ratio of 3.75.  Our interest expense coverage ratio at June 30, 2017 was 7.0, which exceeded the minimum requirement of 3.0.  We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of June 30, 2017 and expect to remain in compliance during the balance of fiscal 2018 and beyond.

On June 9, 2017, we filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which was declared effective as of June 26, 2017.  The shelf registration statement allows us to offer and sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock, preferred stock, warrants to purchase shares of common stock, and debt securities in one or more offerings in amounts, at prices and on terms that we determine at the time of any such offering, with an aggregate initial offering price of up to $200.0 million.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report, including, but not limited to, the discussion under Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains statements, including information about future financial performance, accompanied by phrases such as “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “intends,” and other similar “forward-looking” statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Modine’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, those described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A. in Part I. of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017. Other risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:

Market Risks:
 
·
Economic, social and political conditions, changes, challenges and unrest, particularly in the geographic, product and financial markets where we and our customers operate and compete, including, in particular, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, tariffs, inflation, changes in interest rates, recession and recovery therefrom, restrictions and uncertainty associated with cross-border trade, and, in particular, the continuing recovery and/or instability of certain markets in which we operate in China and North America, the still-weak forecasts for the Brazilian economy, and the general uncertainties about the impact of potential regulatory and/or policy changes, including those related to tax and trade, that may be implemented in the United States, as well as continuing uncertainty regarding the longer-term implications of “Brexit”;

·
The impact of potential increases in commodity prices, including our ability to successfully manage our exposure and/or pass increasing prices of aluminum, copper, steel and stainless steel (nickel) on to customers, as well as the inherent lag in timing of such pass-through arrangements; and

·
The impact of current and future environmental laws and regulations on our business and the businesses of our customers, including our ability to take advantage of opportunities to supply alternative new technologies to meet environmental and/or energy standards and objectives.

Operational Risks:
 
·
Our ability to integrate the former Luvata HTS operations into Modine, realize cost and revenue synergies in accordance with our expectations, and effectively manage any unanticipated risks that arise, while also maintaining stability within the acquired business and appropriate focus on the rest of Modine’s business;
 
·
The overall health and continually increasing price-down focus of our vehicular customers in light of economic and market-specific factors, and the potential impact on us from any deterioration in the stability or performance of any of our major customers;

·
Our ability to maintain current customer programs and compete effectively for new business, including our ability to offset or otherwise address increasing pricing pressures from competitors and price reduction and overall service pressures from customers, particularly in the face of macro-economic instability;

·
Unanticipated product or manufacturing difficulties or inefficiencies, including unanticipated program launch and product transfer challenges and warranty claims;

·
Unanticipated delays or modifications initiated by major customers with respect to product launches, product applications or requirements;

·
Unanticipated problems with suppliers meeting our time, quantity, quality and price demands, and the overall health of our suppliers, particularly in light of some continuing economic challenges in areas of the world in which we and our suppliers operate;

·
Our ability to consistently structure our operations in order to develop and maintain a competitive cost base with appropriately skilled and stable labor, while also positioning ourselves geographically, so that we can continue to support our customers with the technical expertise and market-leading products they demand and expect from Modine;

·
Costs and other effects of the investigation and remediation of environmental contamination; particularly when related to the actions or inactions of others and/or facilities over which we have no control;

·
Increasingly complex and restrictive laws and regulations, including those associated with being a U.S. public company and others present in various jurisdictions in which we operate, and the costs associated with compliance therewith;

·
Work stoppages or interference at our facilities or those of our major customers and/or suppliers;

·
The constant and increasing pressures associated with healthcare and associated insurance costs; and

·
Costs and other effects of unanticipated litigation, claims, or other obligations, including those associated with our recent acquisition of Luvata HTS.

Strategic Risks:
 
·
Our ability to successfully take advantage of our increased presence in the “industrial” markets, with our Building HVAC and Commercial and Industrial Solutions businesses, without shifting attention away from our vehicular business, where we enjoy and desire to preserve a leading position; and

·
Our ability to identify and execute additional growth and diversification opportunities in order to position us for long-term success.

Financial Risks:
 
·
Our ability to fund our global liquidity requirements efficiently for Modine’s current operations, particularly those in our Asia business segment, and meet our long-term commitments in the event of an unexpected disruption in or tightening of the credit markets or extended recessionary conditions in the global economy;

·
The impact of potential increases in interest rates, particularly in LIBOR and EURIBOR in relation to our variable-rate debt obligations;

·
Our ability to bring our leverage ratio (net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in our credit agreements) back into our target range of 1.5 to 2.5 in an efficient manner following our acquisition of Luvata HTS;

·
Costs arising from the integration of Luvata HTS and the timing and impact of potential purchase accounting adjustments;

·
The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, particularly the value of the euro, Brazilian real, and British pound, relative to the U.S. dollar; and

·
Our ability to effectively realize the benefits of tax assets in various jurisdictions in which we operate.

In addition to the risks set forth above, we are subject to other risks and uncertainties as identified in our public filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Item3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company’s quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are incorporated by reference from Part II, Item 7A. of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017.  The Company’s market risks have not materially changed since the fiscal 2017 Form 10-K was filed.

Item4.
Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation Regarding Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, at the direction of the General Counsel and under the supervision of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), with the participation of the Company’s management.  Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2017.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

As part of its post-closing integration activities for the Luvata HTS acquisition, the Company is engaged in assessing, refining and harmonizing the internal controls and processes of the acquired business with those of the Company.  This customary integration-related process has resulted in a change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Exhibit 10.1
 
MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
2008 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
PERFORMANCE STOCK AWARD
AWARD AGREEMENT

We are pleased to inform you that you have been granted an opportunity to earn a Performance Stock Award of Modine Manufacturing Company (the “Company”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Modine Manufacturing Company 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) and of this Award Agreement.  Unless otherwise defined herein, all terms used in this Award Agreement shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Plan.
 
Full name of Grantee:
 
   
Date of Award:
June 1, 2017
   
Target number of Common Stock:
 
   
Performance Period:
April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2020

1.  Performance Stock Award .  Pursuant to the Plan, you are hereby granted a Performance Stock Award, subject to the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement and the Plan.  The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued hereunder if the Target Performance Goals are achieved is set forth above.

2.  Terms of Performance Stock Award and Performance Goals .  You have been granted an opportunity to earn shares of Common Stock under this Performance Stock Award.  The actual number of shares of Common Stock earned by you will be determined as described below, based upon the actual results for the Performance Period set forth above compared to the Performance Goals set forth below, provided that you remain an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary for the entire Performance Period (subject to the provisions below regarding death, Disability or retirement) and the achievement of the Performance Goals is greater than the Threshold amount specified below (the “Conditions”).  If either of these Conditions is not satisfied, then except as otherwise provided in this Award Agreement and the Plan, no Common Stock shall be earned.  The Performance Goals for this Performance Stock Award are: Return on Average Capital Employed (“ROACE”) and Average Annual Revenue Growth (“Revenue Growth”), with each having a 50% weight.  The Threshold Performance Goals are the minimum Performance Goals necessary for the Performance Period that must be achieved by the Company in order for you to qualify for any Common Stock and the Maximum Performance Goals are the minimum Performance Goals for the Performance Period in order for you to qualify for the maximum number of shares of Common Stock earned under this Performance Stock Award.
 

Performance Goal: ROACE
Performance Stock Award Earned Based on Achievement of Performance Goal
Threshold:  5.0%
5% of Target number of Common Stock
Target:   9.0%
50% of Target number of Common Stock
Maximum:   ≥14.0%
100% of Target number of Common Stock
 
Performance Goal: Revenue Growth
Performance Stock Award Earned Based on Achievement of Performance Goal
Threshold:  3.0%
5% of Target number of Common Stock
Target: 8.0%
50% of Target number of Common Stock
Maximum: ≥13.0%
100% of Target number of Common Stock

“ROACE” or “Return on Average Capital Employed” means NOPAT divided by Average Capital Employed.  NOPAT means the Company’s Adjusted Operating Income, as reported on the Company’s audited financial statements, multiplied by .7 to account for an assumed 30% income tax rate, and further adjusted to exclude earnings (or losses) attributable to minority shareholders.  Adjusted Operating Income equals operating income plus or minus Permitted Adjustments.  Average Capital Employed means the Company’s total debt plus shareholders’ equity, as reported on the Company’s audited financial statements, excluding from shareholders’ equity any equity attributable to minority shareholders.  Annual ROACE shall be averaged over five points (i.e., the last day of each fiscal quarter and prior fiscal year-end).   Permitted Adjustments include:

Restructuring Charges
·
Fees and expenses for restructuring consultants or financial advisors
·
Employee severance, outplacement and related benefits
·
Employee insurance and benefits continuation
·
Contractual salary continuation for terminated employees
·
Equipment transfers and facility preparation
·
Environmental services (e.g. plant clean-up prior to sale)

Acquisition and Divestiture Charges
·
Fees and expenses for transaction advisors
·
Integration expenses
·
Other incremental costs and charges that are non-recurring and directly related to the transaction

Other
·
Fees and expenses for strategy advisory services associated with a specific transaction or unique project
·
Unusual, non-recurring or extraordinary cash and non-cash charges or income
 
2

Adoption of New Accounting Standards
·
The impact of the adoption of new U.S. GAAP accounting standards and significant changes in the Company’s accounting methods.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may disregard all or part of any Permitted Adjustment as separately applicable to each performance metric if doing so would decrease the amount payable under this Performance Stock Award.

“Revenue Growth” means the simple three-year arithmetic average of the annual change in revenue over the Performance Period, as reported on the Company’s audited financial statements.

If actual ROACE or Revenue Growth for the Performance Period is between Threshold and Target and/or between Target and Maximum, the number of shares of Common Stock earned shall be determined on a linear basis.  In the event that the Company’s actual ROACE or Revenue Growth does not meet the Threshold for the Performance Period, no Common Stock shall be earned relative to such metric under this Performance Stock Award.  In the event that the Company’s actual ROACE or Revenue Growth exceeds the Maximum for the Performance Period, only the Maximum percentage of the Target number of shares of Common Stock set forth above shall be earned relative to such metric.

3.  Delivery of Shares of Common Stock .   Performance Stock earned shall be paid in shares of Common Stock delivered to you after the end of the Performance Period as soon as administratively practicable after the Committee has approved and certified the number of shares of Performance Stock that have been earned hereunder or, in the event of vesting covered under Paragraph 4 below, within thirty (30) days of the date of your termination of employment.
 
4.  Change in Control .    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, all outstanding Performance Stock shall be deemed to have satisfied the Target Performance Goals and shall continue to vest during the Performance Period; however, in the event of an involuntary termination of your employment with the Company or a Subsidiary without Cause within one year following a Change in Control, all outstanding Performance Stock shall vest pro-rata based upon the period worked during the Performance Period.
 
5.  Death, Disability or Retirement .  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon your termination of employment due to death or Disability (as defined herein), or upon your retirement (with Committee approval), a prorated portion (based on the period working during the Performance Period) of the Performance Stock granted to you hereunder shall vest based on the Company’s actual achievement of the Performance Goals at the end of the Performance Period as certified by the Committee and shares will be delivered to you after the Committee has approved and certified the number of shares of Performance Stock that have been earned hereunder.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Disability” shall mean “permanent and total disability” as defined in Section 22 (e)(3) of the Code.

6.  Forfeiture .  Other than as described above in Paragraph 4 regarding a Change in Control or Paragraph 5 regarding Death, Disability or retirement, upon your termination of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary for any reason during the Performance Period, you will forfeit all Performance Stock covered by this Agreement.
 
7.  Shareholder Status .  While this Performance Stock Award is outstanding and until Common Stock is issued hereunder, you shall not have any rights as a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote and the right to receive dividends on any Common Stock potentially earned under this Performance Stock Award.

8.  Transfer .  The Performance Stock Award shall be nontransferable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall have the right to transfer the Performance Stock Award or Common Stock otherwise issued hereunder upon your death, either by the terms of your will or under the laws of descent and distribution.

9.  No Unlawful Issue of Common Stock .  If, in the opinion of its counsel, the issue of any Common Stock hereunder pursuant to this Performance Stock Award shall not be lawful for any reason, including the inability of the Company to obtain, from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, authority deemed by such counsel to be necessary to such issuance, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any such Common Stock pursuant to this Performance Stock Award.

10.  No Obligation of Employment .  This Performance Stock Award shall not impose any obligation on the Company to continue your employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.

11.  Controlling Provisions; Plan Controls .  In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Award Agreement and any employment agreement or change in control agreement between you and the Company, this Award Agreement shall control.   This Performance Stock Award is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Plan under which it is granted, a copy of which you may request from the Company.  The Plan empowers the Committee to make interpretations, rules and regulations thereunder and, in general, provides that the determinations of such Committee with respect to the Plan shall be binding upon you.  The Plan is incorporated herein by reference.

12.  Forfeiture Under Recoupment Policy .  The Company shall have the power and the right to require you to forfeit and return the shares of Common Stock issued hereunder or any proceeds therefrom consistent with any recoupment policy maintained by the Company under applicable law, as such policy is amended from time to time.

2.  Vesting Schedule .  The Option granted pursuant to this Award will vest according to the following schedule, provided , however , that, except as otherwise provided in Section 12.02 of the Plan or in this Award Agreement, you must be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on each vesting date for that portion of the Option to vest.  If you separate from service due to Disability (as defined below), death, or your retirement (with Committee approval) prior to any Vesting Date, any unvested portion of the Option shall become fully and immediately exercisable.  For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Disability” shall mean “permanent and total disability” as defined in Section 22 (e)(3) of the Code.

4.  Method of Exercising Option .  Subject to the limitations stated elsewhere in this Award Agreement or in the Plan, this Option will be exercisable as to all or a portion of the Common Stock in accordance with the vesting schedule above in Paragraph 2.  In no event will the Option be exercisable if it would result in a violation of federal or state securities laws or would occur later than ten (10) years from the date of grant.  The Option may be exercised in whole or in part by delivery to the Company or its designee of (a) written notice identifying the Option and stating the number of shares with respect to which it is being exercised, and (b) payment in full of the exercise price of the shares then being acquired; provided,   however , that you may pay the exercise price either in cash, by transferring to the Company shares of stock of the Company at their Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise of the Option ("Delivered Stock"), a combination of cash and Delivered Stock, or such other forms or means that the Company determines are consistent with the Plan's purpose and applicable law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may arrange for or cooperate in permitting broker-assisted cashless exercise procedures.  No person shall acquire any rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock until such shares have been duly issued.  The Company shall have the right to delay the issue or delivery of any shares to be delivered hereunder until (a) the completion of such registration or qualification of such shares under federal, state or foreign law, ruling or regulation as the Company shall deem to be necessary or advisable, and (b) receipt from you of such documents and information as the Company may deem necessary or appropriate in connection with such registration or qualification or the issuance of shares hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, this Option shall not be exercisable subsequent to ten (10) years after the date of grant.  Your Option will become nonqualified (i.e., lose preferential tax treatment) if it is not exercised within three (3) months after a termination of employment or within one (1) year after a termination of employment due to Disability.

6.  Transfer of Option .  The Option shall be nontransferable and shall, except in the case of death or Disability, be exercisable only by you during your lifetime.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall have the right to transfer the Option upon your death, either by the terms of your will or under the laws of descent and distribution.  In the case of your Disability, the Option shall be exercisable by your personal representative.  Upon your death, the Option shall be exercisable by your personal representative, administrator, or other representative of your estate, or the person or persons to whom this Option shall pass by will or under the laws of descent and distribution.
