Modine Reports 52% Growth in Net Earnings and 29% Increase in Sales for Fiscal 2005; Operating Cash Flow Reaches a Record $156 Million and Return on Invested Capital Improves Significantly
Racine, WI, May 12, 2005 -Modine Manufacturing Company (NYSE: MOD), a diversified global leader in thermal management technology and solutions, today reported on a preliminary basis that net earnings increased 52% to $61.7 million, or $1.79 per fully diluted share, for fiscal 2005 ended March 31, 2005, compared with $40.4 million, or $1.19 per fully diluted share, in fiscal 2004. The significantly higher results were led by strong performances in the Company’s North American and European Truck and Heavy-Duty businesses, as well as the European Automotive segment.
Full-year sales reached a record $1,543.9 million, a 29% improvement versus $1,199.8 million last year, while income from operations of $85.0 million jumped from $50.1 million, generating increased operating margins of 5.5% compared with 4.2% in 2004.
Record operating cash flow for fiscal 2005 was $155.7 million, the 5th consecutive year above $100 million, and a 43% increase versus the prior year. Modine’s annualized return on average capital employed (ROACE)** for fiscal 2005 improved to 9.1% compared with 6.7% for fiscal 2004. The Company’s stated ROACE target is 11-12% through a cycle.
“Fiscal 2005 was truly a year of great progress for Modine on all fronts,” said David Rayburn, Modine President and Chief Executive Officer. “We achieved a third consecutive year of sales and earnings growth, along with much improved returns, while preserving a strong balance sheet and continuing to generate solid cash flow to invest for profitable growth and return money to our shareholders.”
“We also announced $330 million of net new business between now and 2009 with launches of a number of major new programs across our diversified and global market and customer base,” he added. “We continued the transformation of our Company with the planned spin off of our Aftermarket business as well as the accretive acquisitions of WiniaMando’s Automotive Climate Control business, Transpro’s heavy-duty original equipment unit and, most recently, early in fiscal 2006, Airedale Air Conditioning International, with total combined sales of about $325 million.”
Fiscal 2005 selling, general and administrative (S,G&A) expenses were 12% higher than in 2004 but, as a percentage of sales, fell to 17.1% from 19.6%.
Net favorable currency exchange rates added approximately $39.1 million and $6.8 million to full-year sales and pre-tax earnings, respectively. On a reported basis and within the previously forecasted range, the Asian acquisitions in the summer and fall of 2004 added 11 cents per fully diluted share to Modine’s fiscal 2005 results, due to higher-than-expected favorable currency exchange rates despite a lower-than-anticipated operating performance from softer Korean and Chinese markets.
For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, net earnings were $14.9 million, or $0.43 per fully diluted share, a 19% increase compared with $12.5 million, or $0.37 per fully diluted share, one year ago. The Company’s worldwide Truck, European Heavy-Duty and commercial HVAC&R (heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration) businesses posted higher results, along with an improvement in the Electronics Cooling unit. Slightly offsetting the improvements was reduced income from the North American Automotive division, due primarily to ongoing price pressures and lower vehicle platform volumes, and from the European Automotive business, resulting principally from the expected ramp-down of the BMW 3 Series ahead of the new 3 Series launch.
Included in this year’s quarterly results is after-tax income of $1.6 million, or $0.05 per fully diluted share, related primarily to net favorable adjustments for both prior quarters in the current year ($0.6 million) and prior years’ ($1.0 million) foreign currency transactions and inventory revaluations/material costs at two non-U.S. locations of the Company’s Aftermarket business. The Company has determined that these items, which previously had been included in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income, should have been recorded through the statement of earnings for U.S. GAAP reporting purposes. Last year’s fourth quarter results reflected an after-tax gain of $1.1 million, or $0.03 per fully diluted share, from the sale of two Modine facilities.
Revenues for the fourth quarter increased 29% to $414.6 million versus $321.0 million in the year-ago period, the 11th consecutive quarter of year-over-year sales growth.
Strong operating cash flow of $67.1 million in the quarter enabled the Company to pay down debt by a net $19.5 million, acquire Transpro’s heavy-duty OE business for $16.6 million, fund capital expenditures of $24.5 million, pay the quarterly dividend of $5.6 million and increase its cash balance by $5.1 million from the third quarter.
“Our fourth quarter results were slightly ahead of our prior guidance,” Rayburn noted. “We are pleased to have ended the year on a better note.”
Net favorable currency exchange rates, primarily the stronger Euro and Korean won, added approximately $7.5 million and $1.1 million to fourth quarter sales and pre-tax earnings, respectively. Income from operations in the fourth quarter improved 6% to $18.4 million from $17.3 million one year ago, generating operating margins of 4.4% versus 5.4% in 2004. S,G&A expenses as a percentage of sales declined to 17.1% versus 19.2% in the prior-year period.
Fourth Quarter Segment Data and Performance
Fourth quarter sales for the Original Equipment segment increased 47% to $209.9 million from $142.5 million one year ago, while operating income fell 6% to $22.1 million versus $23.5 million. These results include Modine Asia (the Korean and Chinese assets of WiniaMando’s ACC business acquired by Modine in the summer and fall of 2004) and the first month of the newly acquired heavy-duty business in Jackson, Mississippi. The Truck and the Heavy-Duty & Industrial businesses both reported double-digit revenue improvements, partially offset by a double-digit decline in North American Automotive sales. A solid improvement in the operating income of the Truck business was more than offset by double-digit declines in operating income for the North American Automotive business due to reduced volumes for certain vehicle platforms and continued pricing pressure and for the Heavy-Duty & Industrial business as a result of a product mix shift and a delay in the pass-through of higher raw material costs.
Sales of $84.3 million for the Distributed Products segment in the fourth quarter were essentially comparable with $83.5 million one year earlier, with a strong performance in the commercial HVAC&R division offset by reduced Aftermarket revenues. The segment’s operating income of $1.4 million improved significantly from a loss of $1.6 million one year ago. The HVAC&R business posted a double-digit operating income increase. Additionally, operating losses were reduced in both the Electronics Cooling business, due to increased business in Taiwan and cost-control initiatives, and in the Aftermarket business, primarily from the previously mentioned adjustments for current-year and prior-year items.
Sales for the European Operations segment in the fourth quarter increased 22% to $123.8 million from $101.4 million one year ago. Double-digit revenue growth in the European Heavy-Duty and Automotive businesses and the positive impact of the stronger Euro generated the increase. Operating income improved 18% to $12.1 million from $10.2 million last year. A solid increase in income from operations for the Heavy-Duty business and the benefit of currency exchange rates more than offset a single-digit decline in operating income in the Automotive component primarily from the anticipated ramp-down of the BMW 3 Series ahead of the new 3 Series launch.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Modine ended fiscal 2005 with a solid balance sheet and significant liquidity. The total debt to capital (total debt plus shareholders’ equity) ratio fell to 13.8% at the end of the year, compared with 16.6% at the close of the third quarter and 19.0% at the end of the second quarter. The cash balance at March 31, 2005 was $55.1 million compared with $50.0 million at the end of the third quarter. Operating cash flow for the fourth quarter was an exceptionally strong $67.1 million.
Total debt at the end of fiscal 2005, which decreased to $105.6 million from $127.9 million at the end of the third quarter and from $141.7 million at the end of the second quarter, compared with $87.9 million at the end of the prior fiscal year predominantly because of borrowings of $49 million to finance the ACC acquisition, as well as $3 million of assumed debt. As mentioned earlier, the Company paid off a net $19.5 million of debt during the fourth quarter.
As a result of the reclassification of approximately $64.9 million of debt ahead of the planned refinancing of a September 2005 note, working capital of $164.2 million at the end of fiscal 2005 was sharply lower than $229.1 million a year earlier.
“As we moved through fiscal 2005, our inventory turns improved, ending the year at 8.8 compared with 7.3 at the close of fiscal 2004,” said Brad Richardson, Modine Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer. “Days sales outstanding dropped to 54 days from 56 at the close of the third quarter and compared with 49 at the end of fiscal 2004. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by the addition of the customer base from the ACC acquisition.”
Richardson added that fiscal 2005 capital spending of $68.6 million approximated depreciation of $65.3 million, including the post-acquisition impact of the Company’s new Asian businesses.
Update on Aftermarket Business Spin Off and Merger Into Transpro
A Form S-4 Registration Statement was filed by Transpro, Inc. (AMEX: TPR) on May 2 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission containing the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus-information statement in connection with a previously announced transaction in which Modine would spin off its Aftermarket business on a debt-free and tax-free basis to Modine’s shareholders and then merge it with Transpro, Inc.
The closing of the proposed transaction is now expected to occur late in the second quarter or early in the third quarter of calendar 2005, subject to customary conditions, including the approval of Transpro’s shareholders.
Modine is working to classify its Aftermarket business as a discontinued operation in the quarter in which the transaction closes. At that time, Modine also will record a non-cash, pre-tax charge of approximately $40-55 million to reflect the difference between the value Modine shareholders receive in the merged company, a function of the stock price of Transpro, Inc. at the closing, and the asset carrying value of Modine’s Aftermarket business.
Fiscal 2006 Outlook
“After very strong fiscal 2005 results, it continues to appear at this juncture that the magnitude of our growth in EPS, cash flow and underlying revenues in fiscal 2006 will be significantly shaped by a host of factors in the months ahead,” Rayburn said. “They include ongoing raw material and energy cost impacts, continued pressure for OE price-downs coupled with the presence of aggressive competitors, softer Korean and Chinese economies, reduced volumes for certain North American automotive vehicle platforms, foreign currency exchange rates, and smaller year-over-year market recovery rates.”
He stressed that Modine remains encouraged that fiscal 2006 will be influenced positively by a strong line-up of new business programs, a continuation of solid demand in several North American and European platforms, including the truck and heavy-duty markets, and the accretive acquisitions of Airedale International Air Conditioning Limited and Transpro’s heavy-duty OE business, as well as the absence of an underperforming Aftermarket business.
“Our drive for improved profitability, cash flow and returns continues to be well-served by a focus on diversified markets and customers, differentiated products and services, and partnering with technology-driven, OE customers on global platforms, such as our recent multi-year contract with Volvo Construction,” Rayburn said. “We made great progress in fiscal 2005 in reshaping and strengthening our business portfolio, highlighted by our major expansion into Asia and resulting important new customer in Hyundai/Kia. We remain optimistic for fiscal 2006, armed with our strong cash flow and solid balance sheet and an array of new, value-adding products emerging from our growing research and development initiatives.”

** Definition - Return on average capital employed (ROACE) | |||||||
The sum of, net earnings and adding back after-tax interest (interest expense less the tax benefit at the total company effective | |||||||
tax rate), divided by the average, total debt plus shareholders' equity: this is a financial measure of the profit generated | |||||||
on the total capital invested in the company before any interest expenses payable to lenders, net of any tax effect. | |||||||
Management discussion concerning the use of the financial measure - Return on average capital employed | |||||||
Return on average capital employed is not a measure derived under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and | |||||||
should not be considered as a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that | |||||||
return on capital employed provides investors with helpful supplemental information about the Company's performance, | |||||||
ability to provide an acceptable return on all the capital utilized by the Company, and ability to fund growth. This measure | |||||||
may also be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. | |||||||
