In August 2017,2020, Thomas A. Burke stepped down from his position as President and CEO. The Board of Directors subsequently conducted a search for his successor and, effective December 1, 2020, appointed Neil D. Brinker as President and CEO.

As a result of Mr. Burke's departure and in connection with the search for his successor, the Company recorded costs totaling $5.9 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2020. These costs, which were recorded as selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses at Corporate, primarily consisted of severance and benefit-related expenses based upon the terms of Mr. Burke's transition and separation agreement and costs directly associated with the CEO search, partially offset by the impact of Mr. Burke's forfeited stock-based compensation awards.

New Accounting Guidance
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to hedge accounting.the accounting for credit losses for certain financial assets, including trade accounts receivable and contract assets. The main objectives of the new guidance include aligning hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategiesmodifies the credit loss model to measure and increasing disclosure transparency regarding both the scope and results of hedging programs.recognize credit losses based upon expected losses rather than incurred losses. The Company early adopted the newthis guidance in the third quarteras of fiscal 2018.  This new guidanceApril 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.balance sheets, statements of operations or statements of cash flows.


Pension Costs
Note 2: Assets Held for Sale
In March 2017,
On November 2, 2020, the FASB issued new guidance relatedCompany signed a definitive agreement to the income statement presentation of pension and postretirement costs.  This guidance requires companiessell its liquid-cooled automotive business 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.Dana Incorporated.  The Company adoptedexpects this guidance, on a retrospective basis, beginning in itstransaction will close during the first quarter of fiscal 2018.2022, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.  The Company does not expect significant net cash proceeds from this transaction based upon the one dollar 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.

In connection with the pending sale, the Company classified the liquid-cooled automotive business (the “disposal group”) as held for sale beginning on November 2, 2020 and ceased depreciating long-lived assets in the disposal group.  The Company evaluated the disposal group and determined that it did not qualify as a discontinued operation for reporting purposes under U.S. GAAP.  As part of its evaluation, the Company considered anticipated future sales to automotive and light vehicle customers as well as sales to other vehicular customers with similar product offerings and using similar heat-transfer technology within the Automotive and Heavy Duty Equipment segments.  In addition, the Company will continue to operate in the same major geographical areas as it does today.

Upon classification as held for sale, the Company compared the disposal group’s carrying value with its fair value, less costs to sell.  Through this review and based upon the selling price, the Company identified an implied loss in excess of the carrying value of the disposal group’s long-lived assets, which consist entirely of property, plant and equipment and right of use lease assets.  As a result, the Company recorded $0.6a non-cash impairment charge of $132.7 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 of accounting for share-based payment transactions.  The Company adopted this guidance beginning in 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 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 2:Acquisition of Luvata HTS

On November 30, 2016, the Company completed its acquisition of a 100 percent ownership interest in the Luvata HTS business for consideration totaling $415.6 million ($388.2 million, net of cash acquired).  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 nine months ended December 31, 2017, the Company included $451.6 million of net sales and operating income of $14.3 million within its consolidated statement of operations attributable to CIS operations.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2016, the Company included $34.7 million of net sales and an operating loss of $0.3 million attributable to one month of CIS operations.

Contract Balances
Contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers were as follows:

 December 31, 2020  March 31, 2020 
Contract assets $5.1  $21.7 
Contract liabilities  6.0   5.6 

Contract assets, included within other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets, primarily consist of capitalized costs related to customer-owned tooling contracts, wherein the customer has guaranteed reimbursement, and assets recorded for revenue recognized over time, which represent the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not yet billed. The $16.6 million decrease in contract assets during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 primarily resulted from a decrease in contract assets for revenue recognized over time.  In addition, the March 31, 2020 balance included $7.2 million of contract assets of the liquid-cooled automotive business, which have since been classified as held for sale.  See Note 2 for additional information regarding assets and liabilities held for sale as of December 31, 2020.

Contract liabilities, included within other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, consist of payments received in advance of satisfying performance obligations under customer contracts, including contracts for customer-owned tooling.  The $0.4 million increase in contract liabilities during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 was primarily related to customer contracts for which payment was received in advance of the Company’s satisfaction of performance obligations.  The March 31, 2020 balance included $1.3 million of contract liabilities of the liquid-cooled automotive business, which have since been classified as held for sale.

Note 3:
Note 4: 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.  In addition, the Company assesses the fair value of a disposal group for each reporting period it is held for sale.  See Note 2 for additional information regarding assets held for sale.

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.  Thetrust.  At both December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the fair values of the investments and obligations for the Company’s trading securities and deferred compensation obligationsplans each totaled $5.7$3.8 million and $5.0 million at December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively..  The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is disclosed in Note 14.17.

Note 8:Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 20172020 and 20162019 was 482.2(71.7) percent and (58.3)63.0 percent, respectively.  The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 20172020 and 20162019 was 86.6(95.7) percent and 16.065.4 percent, respectively.  The effective tax rates for the fiscal 20182021 periods are higher than in the prior year, primarily due to third quarterwere largely driven by both significant impairment charges totaling $35.7 millionand income tax charges related to valuation allowances.  See Note 2 for information regarding the recently-enacted$134.4 million of impairment charges recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2021.  The income tax reform legislationbenefits associated with these impairment charges totaled $24.4 million and $13.3 million 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, were income tax benefits resulting from a development tax credit in Hungary, changes in the valuation allowances related to certain foreign jurisdictions, respectively, and changesincreased the deferred tax assets in the mixapplicable jurisdictions.  The deferred tax assets, in turn, were evaluated for realizability as of foreignDecember 31, 2020, as further described below.

In the fiscal 2020 periods, the effective tax rates were negatively impacted by income tax charges recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2020.  A $3.0 million income tax charge was recorded related to a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in the U.S. and domestic earnings.a net income tax charge totaling $2.7 million was recorded in connection with legal entity restructuring completed in preparation of the potential sale of the liquid-cooled automotive business.  Partially offsetting the negative impacts of the income tax charges, the effective tax rates for the fiscal 2020 periods were favorably impacted by the recognition of a tax incentive in Italy during the third quarter and by the release of an unrecognized tax benefit during the second quarter.

The Company records valuation allowances against its net deferred tax assets to the extent it determines it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized in the future.  Each quarter, the Company evaluates the probability that its deferred tax assets will be realized and determines whether valuation allowances or adjustments thereto are needed.  This determination involves judgement and the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including expectations of future taxable income and tax planning strategies.  In addition, the effective tax rate forCompany considers the nine months endedduration of statutory carryforward periods and historical financial results.

Based upon its analysis as of December 31, 2017 benefitted from2020, the Company determined it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets in the U.S. and in certain foreign jurisdictions will not be realized in the future.  As a $1.8result, the Company recorded income tax charges totaling $116.5 million reduction in unrecognizedthe third quarter of fiscal 2021 to increase the valuation allowance on deferred tax benefitsassets in the U.S. ($103.3 million) and in certain foreign jurisdictions ($13.2 million).  Combined with the $6.6 million income tax charge recorded during the second quarter of fiscal 20182021, the Company has now established a full valuation allowance on its U.S. deferred tax assets.  Based upon the Company’s projections of future taxable income at the time, the Company previously believed it was more likely than not that resulted from a lapse in statutes of limitations.  The developmentthese deferred tax credit in Hungary resulted in a tax benefit of $2.2 million and $7.9 millionassets would be realized 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”).future.  The Tax Act includes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including (i) a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent 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 after the effective date of the Tax Act.  The statutory tax rate of 21 percent will applyCompany’s analysis for fiscal 2019 and beyond.

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 third quarter of fiscal 2018,2021 included consideration of the impairment charges recorded during the quarter in connection with the pending sale of the liquid-cooled automotive business; see Note 2 for additional information.  These impairment charges contributed to the Company recorded provisional discrete tax chargesentering into a three-year cumulative loss position in the U.S. and in certain foreign jurisdictions as of $35.7 million related to the Tax Act.December 31, 2020.  The Company adjusted its U.S.also considered year-to-date taxable income, which has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and lower sales to data center cooling customers, and current future projections of taxable income in the relevant jurisdictions.  After considering both the positive and negative evidence, the Company determined it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets by $20.7 million due to the reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate.  This net reduction in deferred tax assets also included 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 paymentwill not be realized.

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, 2017,2020, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and in certain foreign jurisdictions totaled $47.4$121.7 million and valuation allowances against certain U.S. deferred tax assets totaled $7.0$55.5 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.,  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 aNote 18, 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 certain foreign jurisdiction duringjurisdictions, could necessitate the fourth quarterestablishment of fiscal 2018 or in fiscal 2019.further valuation allowances.


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.

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 remediationexperienced 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).  In addition, Modine is voluntarily participatingApril 2020.  All of the temporarily-closed facilities reopened in the carefirst or second quarter and have generally returned to more normal production levels. However, since reopening, production at certain of an inactive landfill ownedour plants has been negatively affected at times by employee absences due to COVID-19. The Company is continuing to focus on protecting the Cityhealth and wellbeing 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 costsits employees and the costscommunities in which it operates, while also ensuring the continuity of future investigationsits business operations and remedial actions.  Thetimely delivery of quality products and services to its customers.

As production has generally returned to more normal levels, the Company does not believe any potential costs would be materialreduced the extent of furloughs, shortened work weeks and salary reductions during the third quarter of fiscal 2021, yet remains focused on controlling 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 Company’s financial position due to its relatively small portion of contributed materials.next twelve months.

(In millions, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
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 has recorded environmental accruals for obligations assumed asbelieves 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 result ofpotential negative effect on the assumptions used.  If the Company, its recent acquisition of Luvata HTS,suppliers, or its customers experience further shutdowns or other significant business disruptions associated with the most significant of which relatesCOVID-19 pandemic, its ability to historical soil and groundwater contamination remediation and monitoring for a manufacturing siteconduct business in the United States.  In addition,manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materially and negatively impacted, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Environmental
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$18.4 million and $16.8$18.2 million at as of December 31, 20172020 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 20: 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:

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, 20172020 was the third quarter of fiscal 2018.2021.


Pending Disposition of Liquid-cooled Automotive Business
On November 30, 2016,2, 2020, we acquired Luvata Heat Transfer Solutions (“Luvata HTS”)entered into a definitive agreement to sell our liquid-cooled automotive business to Dana Incorporated.  We expect this transaction will close during the first quarter of fiscal 2022, 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 of one dollar and adjustments for consideration totaling $415.6 million ($388.2 million, net of cash, acquired).  Operatingdebt, and working capital, as our Commercial and Industrial Solutions (“CIS”) segment, this business is a leading global supplier of coils, coolers and coatings todefined within the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration industry.  As we have consolidated CISdefinitive agreement.  We report financial results sinceof the acquisition date,liquid-cooled automotive business within the Automotive segment.

We recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $132.7 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2017 included one month2021 related to the liquid-cooled automotive business’s long-lived assets.  We expect to record an additional loss on sale of financial resultsapproximately $15.0 million to $25.0 million when the sale is completed.  It is possible that the loss on sale could differ materially 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.  this estimate.  See Note 82 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.information regarding the accounting impacts of this pending sale.


We are also evaluating strategic alternatives for the other businesses in the Automotive segment and are committed to exiting these businesses in a manner that is in the best interest of our shareholders.

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.  Beginning largely in April 2020 and in an effort to mitigate the negative impacts of COVID-19 on our financial results, we 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 reduced operating and administrative expenses, including travel and entertainment expenditures.  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, have favorably impacted our financial results.  As production has generally returned to more normal levels, we reduced the extent of furloughs, shortened work weeks and salary reductions.  As a result, the benefit of the cost-saving actions, primarily on selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, was less significant during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the first and second quarters 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.

Comparison of Three Months Endedended December 31, 20172020 and 20162019


Third quarter net sales of $512.7$484.3 million were $162.9$10.9 million, or 472 percent, higher than the third quarter of the prior year, primarily due to $110.2 million of additionalhigher sales from our CIS segment, which we owned for one monthvolume in the third quarter of the prior year, higher sales in all of our other operatingHDE and BHVAC segments and a $15.9an $11.2 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.

Third quarter gross profit increased $26.4 million, primarily due to $14.2 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 was recorded at Corporate in the prior year, were offset by unfavorable sales mix, higher material costs, and the absence of favorable customer pricing settlements in Europe recorded in the prior year.

SG&A expenses increased $10.1 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2017 to the third quarter 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-related expensesvolume in the CIS segment related to the closure of a manufacturing facility in Austria.

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 millionand Automotive segments.  Sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 improved $7.2HDE, BHVAC, and Automotive segments increased $20.7 million, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily due to higher earnings in the Americas, Asia$3.8 million, and Building HVAC segments.$3.4 million, respectively.  CIS segment sales decreased $18.5 million.

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.

Third quarter cost of sales increased $1.7 million.  As a percentage of sales, cost of sales decreased 160 basis points to 82.9 percent.  The provision for income taxes was $35.2 millionincrease in the third quartercost of fiscal 2018, compared with a benefit for income taxes of $0.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.  The $35.9 million changesales was primarily due to charges totaling $35.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 related to the recently-enacted U.S. tax reform.  In addition, the tax provision in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 included a $2.2 million benefit from a development tax credit in Hungary.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended December 31, 2017 and 2016

Fiscal 2018 year-to-date net sales of $1,536.5 million were $521.8 million, or 51 percent, higher than the same period last year, primarily due to $416.9 million of additional sales from our CIS segment, higher sales in all of our other segments, and an $18.7 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.

Fiscal 2018 year-to-date gross profit of $260.0 million increased $90.7 million from the same period last year, due primarily to $62.0 million of incremental gross profit in our recently-acquired CIS segment and higher gross profit in our Americas, Asia, and Building HVAC segments.  Year-to-date gross profit was favorably impacted by $2.4 million from foreign currency exchange rate changes.  Gross margin improved 20 basis points to 16.9 percent, primarily due to higher sales volume and improved production efficiencies, partially offset by unfavorable material costs and incremental depreciation and amortization expense resulting from purchase accounting for Luvata HTS.

Fiscal 2018 year-to-date SG&A expenses increased $39.1 million from the same period last year, primarily due to a $37.9 million increase in SG&A expenses in our CIS segment, higher compensation-related expenses, and a $1.5$9.7 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, partially offset by the favorable impacts of procurement and other cost-reduction initiatives and a $3.0 million decrease in depreciation expense in the Automotive segment.  In addition, program and equipment transfer costs to prepare the liquid-cooled automotive business for sale decreased approximately $1.0 million compared with the prior year.

As a result of higher sales and lower costs incurred related to the acquisitioncost of Luvata HTS.  SG&A expenses,sales as a percentage of sales, third quarter gross profit increased $9.2 million and gross margin improved 160 basis points to 17.1 percent.

Third quarter SG&A expenses decreased $7.4 million.  The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to lower costs recorded at Corporate associated with our review of strategic alternatives for the Automotive segment’s business operations, which decreased approximately $10.0 million.  This favorable driver was partially offset by a $1.0 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and higher environmental charges in the HDE segment.

Restructuring expenses of $0.9 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased $1.7 million, primarily due to lower restructuring expenses in the HDE segment.

Impairment charges of $134.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily related to the write-down of the long-lived assets in the Automotive segment’s liquid-cooled automotive business in connection with the pending sale of that business.

The operating loss of $108.7 million represents a $116.9 million decline from the prior-year operating income of $8.2 million.  The decline was primarily due to the $134.4 million of impairment charges recorded in the Automotive segment and lower earnings in the CIS segment.  These negative drivers were partially offset by higher earnings in our HDE and BHVAC segments.

Interest expense decreased $1.0 million, or 18 percent, during the third quarter of fiscal 2021, primarily due to lower outstanding long-term debt and, to a lesser extent, favorable changes in interest rates.

The provision for income taxes was $81.6 million and $1.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020, respectively.  The $79.9 million increase was primarily due to income tax charges totaling $116.5 million recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 to increase the valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in the U.S. and in certain foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by income tax benefits totaling $37.7 million related to the impairment charges recorded earlier in the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Comparison of Nine Months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

Fiscal 2021 year-to-date net sales decreased 220 basis points compared withof $1,293.5 million were $209.1 million, or 14 percent, lower than the same period last year.year, primarily due to lower sales in our HDE, CIS and Automotive segments.  Sales in these segments decreased $93.8 million, $87.4 million, and $53.9 million, respectively, and were significantly impacted by market-driven volume declines and temporary plant closures earlier in the fiscal year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  BHVAC segment sales increased $8.3 million.


Fiscal 2021 year-to-date cost of sales of $1,083.9 million decreased $186.1 million, or 15 percent, primarily due to lower sales volume.  As a percentage of sales, cost of sales improved 70 basis points to 83.8 percent.  The unfavorable impact of lower sales volume was more than offset by the benefits of cost-reduction initiatives implemented earlier in the fiscal year in response to lower end market demand and procurement initiatives.

28

As a result of lower sales and lower cost of sales as a percentage of sales, fiscal 2021 year-to-date gross profit decreased $23.0 million and gross margin improved 70 basis points to 16.2 percent.

Fiscal 2021 year-to-date SG&A expenses decreased $42.8 million.  The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to lower costs recorded at Corporate associated with our review of strategic alternatives for the Automotive segment’s business operations, which decreased approximately $29.0 million, and lower compensation-related expenses, which decreased approximately $18.0 million.  These favorable drivers were partially offset by $5.9 million of costs recorded at Corporate in connection with Mr. Burke stepping down from his position as President and CEO and the search for his successor.

Restructuring expenses of $11.5$7.0 million during the first nine months of fiscal 20182021 increased $5.5$0.3 million compared with the same period last year, primarily due to severance-relatedhigher restructuring expenses in the CIS segment, relatedpartially offset by lower restructuring expenses in the Automotive segment.

The fiscal 2021 year-to-date operating loss of $83.4 million represents a $115.7 million decline from the prior-year operating income of $32.3 million.  The decline was primarily due to the closure$134.4 million of a manufacturing facilityimpairment charges recorded in Austria.the Automotive segment and lower earnings in our CIS and HDE segments.  These negative drivers were partially offset by lower SG&A expenses at Corporate and higher earnings in our BHVAC segment.

Restructuring expenses during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 totaled $0.4 million and primarily consisted of severance expenses resulting from targeted headcount reductions in Europe.

Impairment charges during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 totaled $134.4 million and primarily related to assets in the liquid-cooled automotive business.  Upon classifying this business as held for sale during the third quarter, we identified an implied loss in excess of the carrying value of its long-lived assets.  Accordingly, we reduced the liquid-cooled automotive business’s long-lived assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, to zero.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, we completed the sale of a previously-closed manufacturing facility in Germany and, as a result, recorded a gain of $0.8 million. 

The Automotive operating loss of $124.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021, as compared with operating income of $1.6 million in the third quarter of the prior year, was significantly impacted by the large impairment charges associated with the liquid-cooled automotive business and, to a much lesser extent, higher gross profit and lower SG&A expenses.

Capital Expenditures
In response to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been focused on reducing our capital expenditures and, where possible, have delayed certain projects and the purchase of certain program-related equipment and tooling in our vehicular businesses.  Capital expenditures of $55.0$23.7 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2018 increased $9.02021 decreased $34.5 million compared with the same period in the prior year, primarily due to capital expenditures by our recently-acquired CIS segment, equipment purchases to expand our manufacturing capacity in China, and tooling and equipment purchases to support new product launches.year.
