4. Recent developments concerning legal proceedings reported in
the Company's Form 10-K report for the year ended March 31,
1998, are updated in Part II, Other Information, Item 1,
Legal Proceedings. While the outcome of these proceedings
is uncertain, in the opinion of the Company's management, any
liabilities that may result from such proceedings are not
reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company's
liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations.

6. On June 18, 1998, the Company announced that it will invest $53
million over the next five fiscal years to build a world-class
technical center and new headquarters for its Modine-Europe
operations. Construction of the technical center will begin
late in 1998 near Stuttgart, Germany, while construction of the
European headquarters is expected to be started in April 1999.
These projects will be financed through a combination of funds
generated from continuing operations and outside borrowing as
required.
7. On July 15, 1998, the Company announced it had signed a letter
of intent to acquire Core Holdings Incorporated of Orlando, Fla.,
an aftermarket wholesale distributor specializing in complete
lines of vehicular cooling system products, including radiator
systems and air-conditioning components. The acquisition,
scheduled for September following regulatory and final Modine
Board of Directors'approval, will be through a tax-free exchange
of Modine stock for 100 percent of the shares of Core Holdings.
Core Holdings had sales of $54.1 million in 1997. Its 350
employees operate out of more than 50 locations throughout the
southeastern United States. Core Holdings also ships its full
line of air-conditioning parts to warehouse distributors in
other geographic markets. It distributes primarily to radiator
shops, air-conditioning shops, specialty repair shops and garages.
In addition, it manufactures air-conditioning parts at a plant
in Texas.
8. On April 1, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which became effective for interim and annual
financial statement periods in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. This pronouncement established new
standards for reporting comprehensive income and its
components; however, the adoption of SFAS No. 130 has had no
impact on the Company's net income or shareholders' equity.
For the Company, the difference between net income as
historically reported in the statements of consolidated
income, and comprehensive income, is foreign currency
translation recorded in shareholders' equity. Comprehensive
earnings were $20,470 and $17,363 for the three months ended
June 26, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
9. On June 15, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities." The statement requires companies to
recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities,
with the instruments measured at fair value. The accounting
for changes in fair value, gains or losses, depends on the
intended use of the derivative and its resulting designation.
The statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company will adopt
SFAS 133 beginning April 1, 2000. Adoption of this statement
is not expected to have a material effect on earnings or
financial position.
10. The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which have
not been audited by independent certified public accountants,
were prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles and such principles were applied on a basis
consistent with the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements in the Company's March 31, 1998 Annual Report filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial
information furnished includes all normal recurring accrual
adjustments which are, in the opinion of Management, necessary
for a fair statement of results for the interim period. Results
for the first three months of fiscal 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
11. Certain notes and other information have been condensed or
omitted from these interim financial statements which
consolidate both domestic and foreign wholly-owned
subsidiaries. Therefore, such statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related notes contained in the Company's 1998 Annual Report
to stockholders which statements and notes were incorporated
by reference in the Company's Form 10-K Report for the year
ended March 31, 1998.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
---------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
---------------------------------------------
The following discussion and analysis provides information which
Management believes is relevant to an assessment and
understanding of the Company's consolidated results of operations
and financial condition. This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Comparison of the First Quarter of 1998-99 with the First Quarter
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
of 1997-98
- ----------
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1998-99 were a record
$273.1 million, up 6.3% from the $256.9 million reported in the
first quarter of last year.
Revenues from European operations were up significantly despite
the currency-translation effect from a stronger U.S. dollar. Had
the value been the same as one year ago, total consolidated sales
would have grown by another $5 million. On a worldwide basis the
strongest sales increases were to off-highway and to medium- and
heavy-truck customers. Sales to the automotive market were
particularly good in Europe. Revenues from most other major
markets showed small increases, but the building-HVAC area was
down.
Gross margin decreased 0.5%, as a percentage of sales, over the
first quarter of the previous year to 28.7% from 29.2%. Higher
overhead costs in Europe was the main factor for the change.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 2.4% over
last year's first quarter while decreasing 0.6%, as a percent of
sales. A number of categories registered small increases over a
year ago, while the currency translation effect of the stronger
dollar continued to influence these costs in a positive manner.
Average outstanding debt levels increased $16.3 million, or
approximately 15.8%, from the same quarter a year ago while
interest expense declined 7.8%, or $0.1 million from a year ago.
An increase in major plant, property and equipment projects
resulted in larger amounts of interest being capitalized during
the current year. Net non-operating income increased by $0.4
million. Higher interest income was the largest factor
contributing to the increase.
The effective tax rate of 38.5% decreased by 0.5% when compared
to the same period last year. The main factors responsible for
the decrease were lower earnings in Germany partially offset by
the tax effect of foreign dividends.
Net earnings for the quarter increased 10.4% to $20.1 million, or
$0.68 basic and $0.67 diluted earnings per share from last year's
$18.2 million, or $0.61 basic and $0.60 diluted earnings per
share. Return on shareholders' investment, at 18.7 percent, was
in the Company target range of 15-20 percent, and was slightly
above the rate last year.
Outlook for the Remainder of the Year
- -------------------------------------
As forecast in the annual report, the Company's short-term sales
outlook is strong, based on customer projections for their
businesses and on internal sales and marketing plans. The
increase in the Company's annual consolidated sales should
approach ten percent, excluding acquisitions. European operations
are expected to record the greatest growth, largely due to a
major new program in the automotive sector. Although the Company
could face some softness in the current year's second quarter as
a result of normal customer and plant summer shutdowns,
management expects full-year earnings to grow at rates similar to
the first quarter. These forward-looking statements regarding
sales and earnings are subject to certain risks and uncertainties
which could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected. See "Important Factors and Assumptions Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements" attached hereto as Exhibit 99 and
incorporated herein by reference.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
Comparison between June 26, 1998 and March 31, 1998
- ---------------------------------------------------
Current Assets
- --------------
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $5.0 million to a total of
$31.4 million. The Company's primary sources of liquidity and
capital resources were cash provided by operations and the use of
available borrowing facilities.
Net trade receivables increased $13.3 million, or 8.2%. An
increase in total sales, including greater sales to customers with
longer payment terms, were the contributing factors to the change.
Inventory levels declined by $2.0 million to $150.7 million, down
1.3 percent. Among the items affecting inventory were higher
sales volumes, exchange rate fluctuations in Europe, process and
product line changes at certain manufacturing facilities as well
as ongoing management efforts to control inventory levels.
Deferred income taxes and other current assets increased $1.1
million, with the majority of the change occurring in other
current asset categories.
Working capital increased 2.7% to $206.0 million from $200.5
million while the current ratio increased slightly to 2.1 to 1
from 2.0 to 1. A number of categories experienced changes, but
the largest items influencing the change were increased trade
receivables and decreased accounts payable, partially offset by
an increase in income taxes payable.
Property, Plant and Equipment
- -----------------------------
Net property, plant and equipment increased $15.1 million to
$263.3 million as capital expenditures and the effect of foreign
currency translation exceeded depreciation and retirements.
Outstanding material commitments for capital expenditures were
$48.8 million at June 26, 1998, compared to $48.1 million at
March 31, 1998. The largest commitment of approximately $22.9
million is related to facility expansions, improvements,
equipment upgrades, and new equipment for a number of European
plants. Another $6.9 million relates to the construction of a
new technical center in Racine, Wisconsin. The outstanding
commitments will be primarily financed through a combination of
funds generated from continuing operations and outside borrowing
as required.
Intangible Assets
- -----------------
Intangible assets decreased $1.0 million. Amortization and
foreign currency translations were the main items contributing to
the change.
Deferred Charges and Other Noncurrent Assets
- --------------------------------------------
Deferred charges and other noncurrent assets increased $0.9
million. The net increase is primarily the result of continuing
recognition of the surplus in the Company's overfunded pension
plans.
Current Liabilities
- -------------------
Accounts payable and various accrued expenses decreased $8.1
million. Normal timing differences in the level of operating
activity were responsible for the decrease. Accrued income taxes
increased $8.7 million from normal timing differences in making
estimated payments and certain federal tax benefits.
Debt
- ----
Outstanding debt increased by $8.9 million. Long-term debt
increased by $7.1 million, mostly at the Company's European
subsidiaries. Short-term debt increased $1.8 million. U.S. bank
lines of credit increased by $6.0 million for working capital
purposes. European subsidiaries decreased their short-term debt
by $4.2 million.
Consolidated available lines of credit increased during the first
quarter by $2.3 million. The foreign unused lines of credit at
June 26, 1998 were $13.2 million, while the Company had $3.1
million available under a domestic multi-currency revolving
credit agreement. Total debt as a percentage of shareholders'
equity increased from 26.8% to 28.1%.
Shareholders' Investment
- ------------------------
Total shareholders' investment increased by $11.9 million to a
total of $434.4 million. The net increase resulted primarily
from net earnings of $20.1 million for the first three months.
Also contributing to the increase was a favorable foreign
currency translation impact of $0.4 million during the quarter.
Offsetting items included dividends paid to shareholders of $6.2
million, net treasury stock transactions of $1.4 million and
other less significant changes to the capital accounts.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In the normal course of business, the Company and its
subsidiaries are named as defendants in various lawsuits and
enforcement proceedings by private parties, the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration, the Environmental Protection
Agency, other governmental agencies, and others in which claims,
such as personal injury, property damage, or antitrust and trade
regulation issues, are asserted against the Company. While the
outcome of these proceedings is uncertain, in the opinion of the
Company's Management and counsel, any liabilities that may result
from such proceedings are not reasonably likely to have a
material effect on the Company's liquidity, financial condition
or results of operations. Many of the pending damage claims are
covered by insurance and, in addition, the Company from time to
time establishes reserves for uninsured liabilities.
The Mitsubishi and Showa Litigation
-----------------------------------
In November 1991, the Company filed a lawsuit against Mitsubishi
Motor Sales of America, Inc. and Showa Aluminum Corporation,
alleging infringement of the Company's patent on parallel-flow
air-conditioning condensers. The suit seeks an injunction to
prohibit continued infringement, an accounting for damages, a
trebling of such damages for willful infringement, and
reimbursement of attorneys' fees. In December of 1991, the
Company submitted a complaint to the U.S. International Trade
Commission (ITC) requesting that the ITC ban the import and sale
of parallel-flow air-conditioning condensers and systems or
vehicles that contain them, which are the subject of the
aforementioned lawsuit. In August 1997, the ITC issued an Order
excluding from U.S. import Showa condensers that infringe Modine
Manufacturing Company's parallel-flow patent. The ITC's Order
covers condensers, their parts, and certain products including
them, such as air-conditioning kits and systems. It directs the
U.S. Customs Service to exclude from importation into the United
States such products manufactured by Showa Aluminum Corporation
of Japan and Showa Aluminum Corporation of America. The decision
is based on a Modine U.S. patent covering condensers with tube
hydraulic diameters less than 0.04822 inches. The Showa
companies must certify to Customs officials that any condenser
items imported by them do not infringe Modine's parallel-flow
patent. The Showa companies must also file annual reports with
the ITC regarding their sales of Showa parallel-flow condensers
in the United States. In July of 1994, Showa filed a lawsuit
against the Company alleging infringement by the Company of Showa
patents pertaining to condensers. In June 1995, the Company
filed a motion for partial summary judgment against such lawsuit.
In December of 1994, the Company filed another lawsuit against
Mitsubishi and Showa pertaining to a newly issued patent on
parallel-flow air-conditioning condensers. Both 1994 suits have
been stayed pending the outcome of re-examination in the U.S.
Patent Office of the patents involved. In October of 1997,
Modine was issued a Japanese patent (in spite of opposition by
many parties) covering parallel-flow air-conditioning condensers
having tube hydraulic diameters less than 0.070 inches. A
similar patent has been issued to Modine by the European Patent
Office and is currently in the opposition stage. All legal and
court costs associated with these cases have been expensed as
they were incurred.
Other previously reported legal proceedings have been settled or
the issues resolved so as to not merit further reporting.
Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
certain environmental proceedings are not deemed to be ordinary
or routine proceedings incidental to the Company's business and
are required to be reported in the Company's annual and/or
quarterly reports. The Company is not currently a party to any
such proceedings.
Item 5. Other Events.
On August 5, 1998, the Company closed the purchase of 50 percent
of Radiadores Visconde Ltda., a Brazilian heat-transfer company.
Visconde's 1997 net sales were approximately $60 million, about
70 percent of which were for the aftermarket, both domestic and
export. The company has 750 employees and has ISO-9001
certification for aluminum radiators. Visconde makes heat-
exchanger components, assemblies, and modules that include
radiators, oil coolers, and charge-air coolers at facilities in
Sao Paulo, Brazil. It serves the passenger-car aftermarket and
the truck, bus, engine, agricultural-tractor, hydraulic-system,
compressor, marine, construction-equipment, power-generated, and
industrial markets.
On June 18, 1998, Modine formed a joint venture company with
Daikin Industries, Ltd., one of the largest air-conditioning
manufacturers in the world. The joint venture, called Daikin-
Modine, Inc., will manufacture a new line of packaged, rooftop,
air-conditioning products using state-of-the-art technology,
including Modine's patented PF (parallel flow) heat exchangers.
Daikin, based in Osaka, Japan, is the strongest commercial air-
conditioning manufacturer in Japan, with market strengths in Asia
and Europe. Daikin has state-of-the-art air-conditioning and
refrigeration technology, producing its own compressors, other
components, and refrigerants. Modine's gas-heating products are
manufactured in Virginia and the joint venture company will begin
operations in a Modine facility in Rockbridge County, near
Lexington, VA. Modine has an established distribution network in
the U.S. building-HVAC (heating, ventilating, air-conditioning)
market. Each partner owns 50 percent of Daikin-Modine.
Following changes to the Rockbridge facility, the joint venture
company will begin production in 1999.
On June 18, 1998, the Company announced that it will invest $53
million over the next five fiscal years to build a world-class
technical center and headquarters in Europe. See Footnote 6 to
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) of
this Report.
On July 15, 1998, the Company announced that it had signed a
letter of intent to acquire Core Holdings Incorporated of
Orlando, Florida. See Footnote 7 to the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements (unaudited) of this Report.
