In March 2017, the 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, beginning in its first quarter of fiscal 2018.  As a result, the Company recorded $0.6 million and $2.2 million of net periodic benefit cost within other income and expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, respectively, and reclassified the net periodic benefit cost, exclusive of service cost, to other income and expense for the comparative periods in fiscal 2017.  For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, the Company reclassified net periodic benefit cost totaling $0.7 million ($0.3 million from cost of sales and $0.4 million from selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses) and $2.2 million ($0.9 million from cost of sales and $1.3 million from SG&A expenses), respectively, to other income and expense.

Share-based Compensation
In March 2016, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify several aspects
Note 2: Revenue Recognition

Disaggregation of accountingRevenue
The table below presents revenue for share-based payment transactions.  The Company adopted this guidance beginning in its first quartereach 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 share-based 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 adopting this new guidance, 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.

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 will be effective for the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2019, and the Company plans to adopt it using 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 provisions in certain customer contracts may provide an enforceable right to payment for 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 and its revenue recognition policies.

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.
·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, restricted cash, 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 securitiesinvestments in deferred compensation trusts to fund obligations under certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans.  The securities’Company records the fair values, which are recorded asvalue of these investments within other noncurrent assets are determined based upon quoted prices from active markets and classifiedon its consolidated balance sheets.  The Company classifies money market investments held by the trusts within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.  The Company classifies all other investments held by the trusts within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.hierarchy, as it uses quoted market prices to determine the investments’ fair value.  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.trust.  The fair values of the investments and obligations for the Company’s trading securities and deferred compensation obligationsplans each totaled $5.7$3.5 and $3.8 million and $5.0 million at December 31, 2017 as of September 30,2020 and March 31, 2017,2020, respectively.

Note 8:Income Taxes


Note 8: Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2020  and 20162019 was 482.2 61.0percent and (58.3)(336.4) percent, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the ninesix months ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2020 and 20162019 was 86.696.5 percent and 16.066.0 percent, respectively. The effective tax rates for the fiscal 20182021 periods are higher thanwere negatively impacted by an income tax charge related to a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in the prior year, primarily due to third quarter charges totaling $35.7 million related toU.S., as further described below, and favorably impacted by the recently-enacted tax reform legislation in the U.S.  Other factors that impacted the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, as compared with the prior-year periods, wereglobal intangible low taxed income tax benefits resulting from a development tax credit in Hungary, changes in the valuation allowances related to certain foreign jurisdictions, and changes in the mix(“GILTI”) provision of foreign and domestic earnings.  In addition, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2017 benefitted from a $1.8 million reduction in unrecognized tax benefits during the second quarter of fiscal 2018 that resulted from a lapse in statutes of limitations.  The development tax credit in Hungary resulted in a tax benefit of $2.2 million and $7.9 million in the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, respectively.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (the “Tax Act”).  The Tax Act includes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including (i) a reductionas finalized regulations were enacted in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percentsecond quarter. In the fiscal 2020 periods, the effective January 1, 2018, and (ii) a transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries.  For fiscal 2018, the Company will record its income tax provision based on a blended U.S. statutory tax rate of 31.5 percent, which is based on a proration of the applicable tax rates before and afterwere favorably impacted by the effective daterelease of the Tax Act.  The statutoryan unrecognized tax rate of 21 percent will apply for fiscal 2019 and beyond.benefit.


The Tax Act also puts in place new tax laws that may impact the Company’s taxable income beginning in fiscal 2019, which include, but are not limited to (i) creating a base erosion anti-abuse tax (BEAT), which is a new minimum tax, (ii) generally eliminating U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, (iii) adding a new provision designed to tax global intangible low taxed income (GILTI), (iv) adding a provision that could limit the amount of deductible interest expense, and (v) limiting the deductibility of certain executive compensation.

Shortly after the Tax Act was enacted, the SEC issued accounting guidance, which provides a one-year measurement period during which a company may complete its accounting for the impacts of the Tax Act.  To the extent a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete, the company may determine a reasonable estimate for those effects and record a provisional estimate in its financial statements.  If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, it should continue to apply the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to the Tax Act being enacted.

During the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018,2021, the Company recorded provisional discretean income tax chargescharge of $35.7$6.6 million related to the Tax Act.  The Company adjustedincrease its valuation allowance on certain U.S. deferred tax assets by $20.7 million due toafter determining it was more likely than not the reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate.  This net reduction in deferred tax assets also includedwould not be realized based upon finalized foreign tax credit regulations enacted during the estimated impact on the Company’s net state deferred tax assets.  In addition, the Company recorded a $15.0 million charge for the transition tax.  The Company expects to pay this estimated $15.0 million tax liability over the next eight years, beginning with a paymentquarter. As of approximately $1.0 million in fiscal 2019.

The Company is also analyzing other provisions of the Tax Act to determine if they will impact the Company’s effective tax rate in fiscal 2018 or in the future.  These provisions include BEAT, as described above, the elimination of U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, the new limits on the deductibility of interest expense and executive compensation, and the state tax implications of the Tax Act, including the impact of the transition tax and the impact on the realizability of tax attributes and valuation allowances.

The Tax Act includes a provision designed to tax GILTI, as described above, starting in fiscal 2019.  The Company has elected to record the tax effects of the GILTI provision as a period expense in the applicable tax year.  As a result, the Company does not expect GILTI to impact its fiscal 2018 income tax provision.

For various reasons, the Company has not completed its accounting for the income tax effects of certain elements of the Tax Act.  In regards to the reduction in the U.S. corporate tax rate, the Company is continuing to analyze the temporary differences that existed on the date of enactment, and the temporary differences originating in the current fiscal year.  In regards to the transition tax, the Company is awaiting further interpretative guidance, continuing to assess available tax methods and elections, and continuing to gather additional information to more precisely compute the amount of this tax.  Previously, the Company’s practice and intention was to reinvest, with certain insignificant exceptions, the earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiaries outside of the U.S.  As a result, the Company did not record U.S. deferred income taxes or foreign withholding taxes for these earnings.  The Company is currently analyzing its global working capital requirements and the potential tax liabilities that would be incurred if the non-U.S. subsidiaries distribute cash to the U.S. parent, which include local country withholding tax and potential U.S. state taxes.  The Company expects to complete its analysis of the accounting guidance related to the Tax Act and its evaluation of the impacts of the Tax Act in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 or in early fiscal 2019.

At December 31, 2017,September 30,2020, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions totaled $47.4 million and valuation allowances against certain U.S. deferred tax assets totaled $7.0 million, as it is more likely than not these assets will not be realized based upon historical financial results.  The $1.2 million increase in the U.S. valuation allowances during the three months ended December 31, 2017 relates mainly to adjustments made to state tax attributes as a result of tax reform.totaled $30.9 million and $22.0million, respectively. The Company will continue to provide amaintain the valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assetsallowances in each of the applicable jurisdictionstax jurisdiction until the need for a valuation allowance is eliminated.  The need for a valuation allowance is eliminated when the Companyit determines it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized.  The Company may releaserealized, thereby eliminating the need for a valuation allowance (approximately $3.0 million)allowance. As further discussed in Note 17, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in risks and uncertainties to our business. Future events or circumstances, such as lower taxable income or unfavorable changes in the financial outlook of the Company’s operations in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, could necessitate the establishment of further valuation allowances, which could have a foreign jurisdiction duringmaterial adverse effect on the fourth quarterCompany’s results of fiscal 2018 or in fiscal 2019.operations and financial condition.


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 does not anticipate a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits during the remainder of fiscal 2018.2021.

COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, a pandemic.  The United States Environmental Protection Agency has designatedspread of COVID-19 and the resulting work and travel restrictions, including international border closings, have disrupted, and may continue to disrupt, global supply chains and have negatively impacted the global economy.  As a result of this pandemic, the Company as a potentially responsible party for remediationhas experienced significant impacts on its operations.  Local government requirements or customer shutdowns caused the Company to suspend production at many of three sites.  These sites are: Auburn Incinerator, Inc./Lake Calumet Cluster (Illinois), Cam-Or (Indiana)its manufacturing facilities in March and a scrap metal site known as Chemetco (Illinois).April 2020.  All of the temporarily-closed facilities have reopened and have been trending back towards normal production levels.  The Company is continuing to focus on protecting the health and wellbeing of its employees and the communities in which it operates, while also ensuring the continuity of its business operations and timely delivery of quality products and services to its customers.  To mitigate the negative impacts of COVID-19, the Company has taken actions, including, but not limited to, production staffing adjustments, furloughs, shortened work weeks, and temporary salary reductions at all levels of the organization.  In addition, Modinethe Company is voluntarily participatingfocused on reducing operating and administrative expenses. Based upon its current expectations, the Company believes that its sources of liquidity will generate sufficient cash flow to meet its obligations during the next twelve months from the date these financial statements are issued.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect estimates and assumptions made by management, including assumptions regarding the future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods presented.  For example, assets particularly sensitive to assumptions that could be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic include goodwill and deferred tax assets.  While the Company believes it used appropriate estimates and assumptions to prepare the consolidated financial statements, actual amounts could differ materially and future events or circumstances could have a potential negative effect on the assumptions used.  If the Company, its suppliers, or its customers experience further shutdowns or other significant business disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, its ability to conduct business in the care of an inactive landfill owned bymanner and on the City of Trenton (Missouri).  These sites are not Company-owned; however, they allegedly contain materials attributable to Modine from past operations.  The percentage oftimelines presently planned could be materially and negatively impacted, which could have a 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 toadverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, due to its relatively small portionresults of contributed materials.operations and cash flows.

Environmental
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 subsurfacesoil and groundwater contamination at manufacturing facilities in the U.S., one of which the Company currently owns and operates, and at its former manufacturing facility in the Netherlands, investigative and remedial 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.U.S.  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 $17.0$18.3 million and $16.8$18.2 million at December 31, 2017 as of September 30,2020 and March 31, 2017,2020, 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 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.  The Company believes that any additional loss in excess of amounts already accrued would not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, results of operations, and cash flows.  In the opinion ofaddition, management expects that the liabilities if any, which may ultimately result from such lawsuits or proceedings, areif any, would not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

Note 19: Segment Information


Effective April 1, 2020, the Company began managing its global automotive business separate from the other businesses within the previously-reported Vehicular Thermal Solutions (“VTS”) segment.  The Company is managing the automotive business as the Automotive segment as it targets the sale or eventual exit of its underlying automotive business operations.  The other businesses of the VTS segment, including the commercial vehicle and off-highway businesses, are being managed as the Heavy Duty Equipment segment.  The segment realignment had no impact on the CIS and BHVAC segments or on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.  Segment financial information for fiscal 2020 has been recast to conform to the fiscal 2021 presentation.

Each operating segment is managed by a vice president and has separate financial results reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker.  These results are used by management in evaluating the performance of each segment and in making decisions on the allocation of resources among the Company’s various businesses.

The following is a summary of net sales, gross profit, operating income, and total assets by segment.  In fiscal 2018, the Company adopted new accounting guidance related to the income statement presentation of pension and postretirement costs.  Accordingly, the Company recast the comparable fiscal 2017 segment financial results to conform to the current-period presentation.  See Note 1 for additional information on this new accounting guidance.segment:

On November 2, 2020, the Company announced that it signed a definitive agreement to sell its liquid-cooled automotive business to Dana Incorporated.  The Company expects this transaction to close during the first half of calendar 2021, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.  The Company does not expect significant net cash proceeds from this transaction based upon the selling price and adjustments for cash, debt, and working capital, as defined within the definitive agreement.  The Company reports financial results of the liquid-cooled automotive business within its Automotive segment.  Net sales attributable to the liquid-cooled automotive business were approximately $130.0 million during the first six months of fiscal 2021 and approximately $310.0 million in fiscal 2020.  Net assets of this business were approximately $140.0 million as of September 30, 2020.  There is 0 goodwill or intangible assets recorded within the liquid-cooled automotive business.

In connection with the pending sale, the Company expects to classify the liquid-cooled automotive business (the “disposal group”) as held for sale beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and plans to report the assets and liabilities of this business as held for sale beginning with its December 31, 2020 consolidated balance sheet.  As a result of the disposal group being classified as held for sale, the Company expects to record a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $120.0 million to $130.0 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 related to the disposal group’s long-lived assets, which consist of property, plant and equipment.  When the transaction is completed, the Company expects to record an additional loss on sale related to other net assets and cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments attributable to the disposal group, net working capital adjustments, and costs to sell.  As the Company has not yet finalized its analysis, the impairment charge recorded in the third quarter could differ materially from the Company’s preliminary estimate and, at this time, the Company cannot estimate the loss on sale to be recorded upon completion of this transaction.


Item 2.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 December 31, 2017September 30, 2020 was the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018.2021.


On November 30, 2016,COVID-19
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, both the health and overall well-being of our employees and delivering quality products and services to our customers remain our top priorities.

The COVID-19 pandemic has broadly impacted the global economy and our key end markets, which were most severely impacted during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.  In response to lower market demand and in an effort to mitigate the negative impacts of COVID-19 on our financial results, we acquired Luvata Heat Transfer Solutions (“Luvata HTS”) for consideration totaling $415.6 implemented actions, including, but not limited to, production staffing adjustments, furloughs, shortened work weeks, and temporary salary reductions at all levels of our organization.  In addition, we have reduced operating and administrative expenses, including travel and entertainment expenditures, and lowered the annual compensation paid to the Board of Directors.  We have also focused on limiting capital expenditures and, where possible, have delayed certain projects and the purchase of some program-related equipment and tooling.  Our swift cost-saving actions, coupled with a slow but steady recovery in most of our key end markets, favorably impacted our financial results during the second quarter of fiscal 2021.  Looking ahead, while we are continuing to focus on cost-saving measures, we plan to reduce the level of furloughs, shortened work weeks and salary reductions.  As a result, we expect the benefit of the cost-saving actions, primarily on SG&A expenses, to be less significant in the second half of fiscal 2021.

The full extent of the impacts of COVID-19, which will largely depend on the length and severity of the pandemic, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and cash flows.

Second Quarter Highlights
Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased $38.8million, ($388.2 million, netor 8percent, from the second quarter of cash acquired).  Operating asfiscal 2020, primarily due to lower sales in our Commercial and Industrial Solutions (“CIS”) segment, this business is a leading global supplier, Heavy Duty Equipment (“HDE”) and Automotive segments.  Sales in each of coils, coolers and coatings tothese segments were impacted by market-driven volume declines.  Cost of sales decreased $43.9 million, or 10 percent, from the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration industry.  As we have consolidated CIS financial results since the acquisition date, the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017 included one month of financial results from CIS operations.

In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. tax reform”) was enacted and included numerous changes to existing U.S. tax regulations, including U.S. corporate tax rates, business deductions, and taxes on income in foreign jurisdictions.  During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we recorded provisional charges totaling $35.7 million for certain income tax effects of the U.S. tax reform.  See Note 8 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Third Quarter Highlights

Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 increased $162.9 million, or 47 percent, from the third quarter of fiscal 2017,2020, primarily due to a $110.2 million increase inlower sales in our CIS segment, which we owned for one month in the third quarter of the prior year, and higher sales in all of our other operating segments.volume.  Gross profit increased $26.4$5.1 million including $14.2 million of additional contribution from our CIS segment.and gross margin improved 240 basis points to 17.5 percent.  Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $10.1decreased $16.6 million, primarily due to a $9.0lower project costs associated with our review of strategic alternatives for the automotive business and cost-reduction initiatives in response to the negative impacts of COVID-19.  Operating income during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 increased $22.5 million increase of SG&A expenses in our CIS segment.  Restructuring expenses increased $7.8to $28.5 million, primarily due to severancehigher earnings in our Automotive, HDE, and Building HVAC Systems (“BHVAC”) segments and lower SG&A expenses related to the recent closure of a manufacturing facility in Austria within the CIS segment.  In addition, we recorded a $1.3 million asset impairment charge related to this CIS Austria facility.  Operating income during the third quarter of fiscal 2018 increased $7.2 million to $13.9 million.  Our net loss of $27.9 million represents a $29.8 million decline compared with the third quarter of the prior year, primarily due to $35.7 million of charges associated with U.S. tax reform, partially offset by the increase in operating income.at Corporate.

Recent Event
On November 2, 2020, we announced that we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our liquid-cooled automotive business to Dana Incorporated.  We expect this transaction to close during the first half of calendar 2021, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.  We do not expect significant net cash proceeds from this transaction based upon the selling price and adjustments for cash, debt, and working capital, as defined within the definitive agreement.  We report financial results of this business within the Automotive segment.  Net sales attributable to the liquid-cooled automotive business were approximately $130.0 million during the first six months of fiscal 2021 and approximately $310.0 million in fiscal 2020.  Net assets of this business were approximately $140.0 million as of September 30, 2020.

In connection with this pending sale, we expect to record a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $120.0 million to $130.0 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 related to the long-lived assets of the liquid-cooled automotive business. When the transaction is completed, we expect to record an additional loss on sale related to other net assets and cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments attributable to the business, net working capital adjustments, and costs to sell.  As we have not yet finalized our analysis, the impairment charge recorded in the third quarter could differ materially from our preliminary estimate and, at this time, we cannot estimate the loss on sale to be recorded upon completion of this transaction.

We are continuing to evaluate strategic alternatives for our other automotive businesses and are committed to exiting these businesses in a manner that is in the best interest of our shareholders.

ThirdSecond quarter net sales of $512.7$461.4 million were $162.9$38.8 million, or 478 percent, higherlower than the thirdsecond quarter of the prior year, primarily due to $110.2 million of additionallower sales fromvolume in our CIS, HDE, and Automotive segments.  Sales in these segments decreased $22.6 million, $21.6 million, and $5.8 million, respectively, and were impacted by market-driven volume declines.  BHVAC segment sales increased $5.9 million.

Second quarter cost of sales decreased $43.9 million, or 10 percent, primarily due to lower sales volume.  As a percentage of sales, cost of sales decreased 240 basis points to 82.5 percent, primarily due to favorable impacts of cost-reduction initiatives, which we owned for one monthwere implemented earlier in the third quarterfiscal year in response to lower end market demand, and procurement initiatives.

Thirdsales, second quarter gross profit increased $26.4$5.1 million and gross margin improved 240 basis points to 17.5 percent.

Second quarter SG&A expenses decreased $16.6 million.  The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to $14.2lower costs recorded at Corporate associated with our review of strategic alternatives for the Automotive segment’s business operations, which decreased approximately $12.0 million, and lower compensation-related expenses, which decreased approximately $8.0 million.  The lower compensation-related expenses resulted primarily from our cost-reduction initiatives aimed to mitigate the negative impacts of COVID-19.  These favorable drivers were partially offset by $5.5 million of additional contribution from our CIS segment and higher gross profit in our Building HVAC, Americas, and Asia segments.  Third quarter gross profit was favorably impacted by $2.1 million from foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Gross margin declined 20 basis points to 16.7 percent, as the benefits from higher sales volume and the absence of a $2.9 million inventory purchase accounting adjustment, which wascosts recorded at Corporate in connection with Thomas A. Burke stepping down from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO.”)  These costs primarily consisted of severance and benefit-related expenses and costs directly associated with the prior year, were offset by unfavorable sales mix, higher material costs, and the absence of favorable customer pricing settlements in Europe recordedsearch for Mr. Burke’s successor.

Restructuring expenses totaled $1.5 million in the prior year.

SG&A expenses increased $10.1 million from the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017 to the third quarter2021 and primarily consisted of fiscal 2018, primarily due to a $9.0 million increase in SG&A expenses in our CIS segment, a $1.4 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, and higher compensation-related expenses, partially offset by lower costs incurred related to the acquisition of Luvata HTS.  SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 260 basis points compared with the third quarter of the prior year.

Restructuring expenses of $9.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 increased $7.8 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to severance-relatedseverance expenses in the CIS segment related to the closure of a manufacturing facility in Austria.plant consolidation activities.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we recorded a $1.3 million impairment charge related to the closure of a CIS manufacturing facility in Austria.


Operating income of $13.9$28.5 million in the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2018 improved $7.22021 increased $22.5 million compared with the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017,2020.  The increase was primarily due to higher earnings in the Americas, Asiaour Automotive, HDE, and Building HVAC segments.BHVAC segments and lower SG&A expenses at Corporate.

Interest expense increased $1.8 million to $6.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, primarily due to the debt issued in November 2016 to finance a significant portion of our acquisition of Luvata HTS.

During fiscal 2018, we recorded a $1.3 million impairment charge related to the closure of the CIS manufacturing facility in Austria.

During fiscal 2017, we sold a manufacturing facility within our Europe segment for cash proceeds of $4.3 million and recognized a $1.2 million gain as a result.


Operating income of $65.0$25.3 million during the first ninesix months of fiscal 2018 represents a $43.62021 increased $1.2 million improvement compared with the same period last year,year.  The increase was primarily due to $14.6 million of incremental operating income contributed by our CIS segmentlower SG&A expenses at Corporate and higher earnings in the Americas, Asiaour BHVAC and Building HVACAutomotive segments, partially offset by lower earnings in our HDE and CIS segments.

Debt
Our debtcredit agreements require us to maintain compliance with various covenants.  The term loans require prepayments,covenants, including a leverage ratio covenant and an interest expense coverage ratio covenant discussed further below.  Also, as definedspecified in the credit agreement, in the event our annual excess cash flow exceeds defined levels orterm loans may require prepayments in the event of certain asset sales.  In addition, at the time of each incremental borrowing under the revolving credit facility, we must represent to the lenders that there has been no material adverse effect, as defined in the credit agreement, on our business, property, or results of operations.

In May 2020, we executed amendments to our primary debtcredit agreements in the U.S., we are subject to provide additional covenant flexibility in light of the risks and uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.  Under the amended agreements, the leverage ratio covenant limit has been temporarily raised.  We believe this additional flexibility will enable us to be compliant with our debt covenants, even if the most restrictiveadverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business are more severe than we currently anticipate.  However, failure to comply with the debt covenants could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in us being required to repay borrowings before their due date.

The leverage ratio covenant within our primary credit agreements requires us to limit our consolidated indebtedness, less a portion of our cash balance, both as defined by the credit agreement,agreements, in relation to no more than three and one-quarter timesour consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain other adjustments (“Adjusted EBITDA”).  For the remainder of fiscal 2021, the leverage ratio covenant limit is  5.25 to 1 and 5.75 to 1 for the third and fourth quarters, respectively.  In fiscal 2022, the leverage ratio covenant limit is 4.75 to 1, 3.75 to 1, and 3.50 to 1 for the first, second and third quarters, respectively, and subsequently returns to 3.25 to 1 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022.  We are also subject to an interest expense coverage ratio covenant, which requires us to maintain Adjusted EBITDA of at least three times consolidated interest expense.  At December 31, 2017,
