Modine Provides Minor Changes to Unaudited, Pro Forma Historical Earnings Statements for Classification of Former Aftermarket Business as a Discontinued Operation and Announces Updated Charge to Discontinued Operations for Fiscal 2006 Second Quarter Financial Statements
Racine, WI, November 7, 2005 - Modine Manufacturing Company (NYSE: MOD), a diversified world leader in thermal management technology and solutions, today issued minor changes to portions of unaudited, pro forma historical earnings statements recently issued when the Company announced the classification of its former Aftermarket business, which was spun off on July 22 and merged with Transpro, Inc. (now known as Proliance International, Inc.), as a discontinued operation.
These unaudited, pro forma historical financial statements, as well as expanded operating segment financial information, have been provided for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, by quarter for fiscal 2005, and annually for fiscal years 2005, 2004 and 2003.
All unaudited, pro forma earnings statements have been labeled with dollar and per share headings, and the quarterly earnings statements for fiscal 2005 and the first quarter of fiscal 2006 have been updated with the correct quarterly period dates.
The complete unaudited, pro forma historical earnings statements and expanded operating segment financial information containing these changes are provided with this press release. They may also be accessed by visiting Modine’s Web site at www.modine.com.
Modine also confirmed that it recorded a charge to discontinued operations of $54.1 million, or $(1.56) per fully diluted share in the Company’s fiscal 2006 second quarter, in line with prior guidance. The charge was comprised of a $50.4 million non-cash charge to reflect the difference between the value that Modine shareholders received in Proliance International, Inc. of $51.3 million, a function of the price of Transpro, Inc. stock at the time of the closing, and the $101.7 million in asset carrying value of Modine’s Aftermarket business; a $3.2 million non-cash foreign currency translation loss recognized upon disposition; and $0.5 million in unreimbursed expenses incurred as part of the transaction. This charge was reported in the Company’s fiscal 2006 second quarter earnings release on October 19 as $50.8 million but had been reported in an earlier release that same day as $48.2 million.
In addition, Modine said it made other minor classification and labeling changes to its income statement and statement of cash flows issued with its fiscal 2006 second quarter earnings release on October 19, 2005. The revised income statement and statement of cash flows reflecting the $54.1 million charge to discontinued operations and classification changes are also provided with this press release.
