MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
Note 1: Overview
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States and such
principles were applied on a basis consistent with the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements in Modine Manufacturing Companys (Modine or the Company) Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2007 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The financial information furnished includes all normal recurring adjustments
that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the
interim periods. Results for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
The March 31, 2007 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial
statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP in the United States. In
addition, certain notes and other information have been condensed or omitted from these
interim financial statements. Therefore, such statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in Modines Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2007.
Significant charges contributing to loss from continuing operations: During the three and nine
months ended December 26, 2007, the Company reported a loss from continuing operations of $47,499
and $25,173, respectively. These amounts represent a significant reduction from the earnings from
continuing operations of $16,357 and $43,052 reported for the three and nine months ended December
26, 2006, respectively. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded asset
impairment charges of $31,455 and a deferred tax valuation allowance of $40,435. These charges
were the primary factors contributing to the loss from continuing operations for the three and nine
months ended December 26, 2007.
The majority of these charges related to the Companys Original Equipment North America segment,
which has reported a significant decline in its current fiscal year results as compared to the
prior year. Original Equipment North Americas net sales decreased $38,213, or 22.2 percent from
the three months ended December 26, 2006 to the three months ended December 26, 2007, and its net
sales decreased $142,142, or 27.2 percent from the nine months ended December 26, 2006 to the nine
months ended December 26, 2007. In addition, Original Equipment North America reported a loss
from operations of $31,070 and $34,224 for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2007,
respectively, as compared to earnings from operations of $9,515 and $41,553 reported for the three
and nine months ended December 26, 2006. The decline in net sales was primarily driven by an
ongoing downturn in the North American truck market as a result of pre-buy activity in advance of
the January 1, 2007 emission requirement changes in North America and a slowdown in the North
American economy. This decline in net sales has been more severe and is extending for a longer
period of time than originally anticipated by the Company. This significant decline in sales
volumes has contributed to a declining gross profit and an underabsorption of fixed overhead costs
as excess capacity exists in many of the Original Equipment North America facilities during
fiscal 2008. Manufacturing inefficiencies incurred during fiscal 2008 in the Original Equipment
North America production facilities also contributed to the declining performance within this
business. These inefficiencies were primarily related to new program launches and product line
transfers in conjunction with our previously announced global competitiveness program.
In addition to the current fiscal year reduction in performance in the Original Equipment North
America segment, the Company reduced its outlook for this business in the third quarter of fiscal
2008. The future growth prospects within this business were reduced based on, among other factors,
trends experienced with the January 1, 2007 emissions law change and a shift by customers in future
vehicular programs to

(In thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
countries outside of North America. The reduced outlook also included a
reduction in expected future gross margins based on the near-term impact of plant inefficiencies
related to new program launches and product transfers. The reduced outlook for future gross
margins was also based on continued industry-wide cost and customer pricing pressures.
As a result of the decrease in the fiscal 2008 net sales and profitability in the Original
Equipment North America segment, combined with the reduced future outlook for this business, the
Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $23,769 during the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
This represented an impairment of the full amount of goodwill recorded within the Original
Equipment North America segment. In addition, the Company performed an impairment review of the
Original Equipment North America long-lived assets during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, which
resulted in an impairment charge of $3,011 for a program which was not able to support its asset
base. If future capital expenditures are required for this program, additional impairment charges
may be required.
The current year losses generated within the Original Equipment North America segment and the
reduced future outlook for this business significantly contributed to a projection of future losses
in the United States. Based on this projection, the Company made a determination during the third
quarter of fiscal 2008 that it was more likely than not that the U.S. deferred tax assets will not
be realized. Accordingly, a valuation allowance of $40,435 was recorded against the net U.S.
deferred tax assets during the three months ended December 26, 2007.
In response to the current year losses generated within the Original Equipment North America
segment and the reduced future outlook for this business, the Company is implementing a number of
cost and operational efficiency measures that will be designed to improve the Companys longer term
competitiveness. On January 29, 2008, the Board of Directors approved additional restructuring
actions, including the anticipated closure of three manufacturing plants in North America and the
intended closure of the Tübingen, Germany manufacturing plant in Europe. These closures are
expected to result in pre-tax charges in the range of $40,000 to $45,000 over the closure period,
consisting of approximately $11,000 of employee-related costs and a range of $29,000 to $34,000 of
other related costs. The closures should be completed by the end of fiscal 2010, and will result
in cash expenditures in the range of $30,000 to $35,000. Approximately $10,000 of
accruable costs related to the restructuring actions are anticipated to be recorded during the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.
In addition to the restructuring actions, the Company recently introduced an enhanced capital
allocation process which is designed to better allocate capital spending to the segments and
programs that will provide the highest return on investment. The
Company reduced its capital
spending estimates for the next two fiscal years, and anticipate this spending to be at or below
current depreciation levels. The Company will also be identifying additional actions around
selling, general and administrative cost containment and product line rationalization. These
additional actions are currently under development, and will be defined within the near future.
Collectively, management anticipates the actions described will provide increased discipline around
gross margins, working capital levels and asset utilization.
Liquidity: During the nine months ended December 26, 2007 and 2006, the Company reported net cash
provided by operating activities of $45,798 and $67,512, respectively, which represents a decrease
of $21,714. The fiscal 2008 decline in Original Equipment North Americas results was a
significant factor contributing to this decrease in net cash provided by operating activities. In
addition, the Companys outstanding debt increased from $179,349 at March 31, 2007 to $244,473 at
December 26, 2007. The reduced cash flows from operating activities were not sufficient to fully
finance capital expenditures and working capital needs of the business during fiscal 2008,
therefore requiring additional borrowings on the Companys revolving credit facility during the
current year.

MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY

(unaudited)
The Companys debt agreements require it to comply with certain limitations and to maintain
specified financial ratios. The Company would have been in violation of a financial ratio as of
December 26, 2007 had the agreements not been amended due to the goodwill impairment charge
recorded during the three months ended December 26, 2007. On February, 1, 2008, the Company
amended these debt agreements to allow the add-back of the asset
impairment charges. At December 26, 2007, the Company
was in compliance with the amended agreements. In addition, certain amendments were made to the
covenants on a prospective basis to allow the add-back of certain anticipated cash and non-cash
charges and to reduce the ratio of earnings before interest and taxes to interest expense (interest
coverage ratio) to allow the Company to remain in compliance with this financial ratio on a
prospective basis. The Company anticipates remaining in compliance on a prospective basis with the
limitations and financial ratios based on its current business
projections. In addition, the Company believes that its internally generated operating cash flow
and existing cash balances, together with access to available external borrowings, will be
sufficient to satisfy future operating, capital expenditure and strategic business opportunity
costs. If the Company is unable to meet the financial covenants and
reach suitable resolution of such defaults with
the lenders, it could have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations, financial
position and liquidity of the Company. See Note 14 for further discussion.
Note 2: Significant Accounting Policies
Discontinued operations and assets held for sale: The Company considers businesses to be held for
sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan to actively market a business for sale.
Upon designation as held for sale, the carrying value of the assets of the business are recorded at
the lower of their carrying value or their estimated fair value, less costs to sell. The Company
ceases to record depreciation expense at the time of designation as held for sale. Results of
operations of a business classified as held for sale are reported as discontinued operations when
(a) the operations and cash flows of the business will be eliminated from ongoing operations as a
result of the sale and (b) the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the
operations of the business after the sale. The Company currently classifies the Electronics
Cooling business as held for sale and as a discontinued operation. See Note 12 for further
discussion.
Goodwill and intangible assets: The Company accounts for purchased goodwill and intangible assets
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets. Under SFAS No. 142, purchased goodwill and other intangible assets with
indefinite lives, primarily tradenames, are not amortized; rather they are tested for impairment
annually unless conditions exist which would require a more frequent evaluation. An assessment of
the fair value of the Companys reporting units for its goodwill valuation, and its other
intangible assets with indefinite lives is required and is based upon, among other things, the
present value of the expected future cash flows. An impairment loss is recognized when the book
value of goodwill exceeds the fair value. A goodwill impairment charge of $23,769 was recorded
during the third quarter of fiscal 2008. See Note 13 for further discussion.
Impairment of long-lived assets: Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets with finite lives, are reviewed for impairment and written down to fair value
when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be
recoverable through estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If impairment has occurred, a
write-down to estimated fair value is made and the impairment loss is recognized as a charge
against current operations. An asset impairment charge of $7,686 was recorded during the third
quarter of fiscal 2008. See Note 10 for further discussion.
Income taxes: Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between
the amounts reported in the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using
enacted tax rates

(unaudited)
in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A
valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a
deferred tax asset will not be realized. A valuation allowance of $40,435 was recorded during the
third quarter of fiscal 2008 against net deferred tax assets in the United States. See Note 6 for
further discussion.
Accounting standards changes and new accounting pronouncements: In September 2006, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement, which addresses
how companies should measure fair value when required to use a fair value measure for recognition
or disclosure purposes under GAAP. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. The Company is
required to adopt SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and is currently assessing the
impact of adopting this pronouncement.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension
and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statement Nos. 87, 88, 106 and
132(R). The Company adopted the recognition and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 158 as of
March 31, 2007. SFAS No. 158 also requires that employers measure plan assets and the Companys
obligations as of the date of their year-end financial statements beginning with the Companys
fiscal year ending March 31, 2009. The Company adopted the year-end measurement date for its
pension and postretirement plans in fiscal 2008 using the prospective method, which resulted in an
increase in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and a reduction in retained earnings of
$839.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115 (SFAS No. 159), which permits an
entity to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value that are not
currently required to be measured at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option will
report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value
option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with a few exceptions. SFAS No. 159
amends previous guidance to extend the use of the fair value option to available-for-sale and
held-to-maturity securities. The Statement also establishes presentation and disclosure
requirements to help financial statement users understand the effect of the election. SFAS No. 159
is effective as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2009. Management is currently
assessing the potential impact of this standard on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)
which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combination. SFAS No. 141(R) retained the underlying
concepts of SFAS No. 141 in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for
at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting, but SFAS No. 141(R) changed the method of
applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. For all business combinations,
the entity that acquires the business will record 100 percent of all assets and liabilities of the
acquired business, including goodwill, generally at their fair values. Certain contingent assets
and liabilities acquired will be recognized at their fair values on the acquisition date and
changes in fair value of certain arrangements will be recognized in earnings until settled.
Acquisition-related transactions and restructuring costs will be expensed rather than treated as an
acquisition cost and included in the amount recorded for assets acquired. SFAS No. 141(R) is
effective for the Company on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after April 1, 2009, with the exception of the accounting for valuation
allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS No. 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes, such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes
and acquired tax contingencies associated with acquisitions that close prior to the effective date
of SFAS No. 141(R) would also apply the provisions of SFAS No. 141(R). Early adoption is not
allowed. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of this standard on the
7
MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
Companys
consolidated financial statements; however, the Company does not anticipate the adoption to have a
material impact on previous acquisitions.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51. SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin
No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish new standards that will govern the
accounting for and reporting of (1) non-controlling interest in partially owned consolidated
subsidiaries and (2) the loss of control of subsidiaries. The Companys consolidated subsidiaries
are wholly-owned and as such no minority interests are currently reported in its consolidated
financial statements. Other current ownership interests are reported under the equity method of
accounting under investments in affiliates. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company on a
prospective basis on or after April 1, 2009 except for the presentation and disclosure
requirements, which will be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is not allowed. Based upon
the Companys current portfolio of investments in affiliates, the Company does not anticipate that
adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Note 3: Employee Benefit Plans
Modines contributions to the defined contribution employee benefit plans for the three months
ended December 26, 2007 and 2006 were $1,904 and $1,919, respectively. Modines contributions to
the
defined contribution employee benefit plans for the nine months ended December 26, 2007 and 2006
were $5,635 and $6,131, respectively.
In September 2007, the Company announced that effective January 1, 2008, the Modine Manufacturing
Company Pension Plan for Non-Union Hourly-Paid Factory and Salaried Employees (Salaried Employee
Component) and the Modine Manufacturing Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan are being
modified so that no increases in annual earnings after December 31, 2007 will be included in
calculating the average annual earnings portion under the pension plan formula. The Company
recorded a pension curtailment gain of $4,214 during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 to reflect
this modification.
In July 2006, the Company announced the closure of its facility in Clinton, Tennessee. The Company
recorded a pension curtailment charge of $650 during the nine months ended December 26, 2006 to
reflect the impact of this closure of the Clinton Hourly-Paid Employees Retirement Plan.
In May 2006, the Company offered a voluntary enhanced early retirement program to certain U.S.
employees. This program included an enhanced pension benefit of five years of credited service for
those employees who accepted the early retirement program. The Company recorded a charge of $964
during the nine months ended December 26, 2006 to reflect this enhanced pension benefit.

Note 4: Stock-Based Compensation
Modine adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, effective April 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123(R)
requires that the cost of stock-based compensation be recognized in the financial statements based
on the grant date fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation consists of stock options and
restricted and unrestricted stock granted for retention and performance. Upon adoption, management
made an estimate (based upon historical rates) of expected forfeitures and recognized compensation
costs for those restricted shares expected to vest. A cumulative adjustment (net of income taxes)
of $70 was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, reducing the compensation expense
recognized on non-vested restricted shares. Modine recognized stock-based compensation cost of
$1,541 and $1,238 for the three months ended December 26, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Modine
recognized stock-based compensation cost of $5,215 and $3,691 for the nine months ended December
26, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Compensation expense recognized in the three and nine months
ended December 26, 2007 included $285 and $856, respectively, related to the earnings per share
component of the fiscal 2007-08 performance grant based upon probable attainment of the targeted
three-year compound growth rate.

Foreign currency transactions for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2007 were primarily
comprised of foreign currency transaction gains (losses) on inter-company loans denominated in a
foreign currency in Brazil. The purchase price settlement of $2,900 during the three and nine
months ended December 26, 2006 related to the Final Settlement Agreement between Modine and
WiniaMando, Inc. effective November 30, 2006.
Note 6: Income Taxes
SFAS No. 109 requires an assessment of whether a valuation allowance should be established against
deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence and considering whether it
is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Given the current
market conditions for the Original Equipment North America segment as well as other factors
arising during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 which may impact future operating results, the
Company considered both positive and negative evidence in evaluating the need for a valuation
allowance relating to the U.S. deferred tax assets. Based on projected losses in the U.S., the
Company determined that it was more likely than not that the U.S. deferred tax assets will not be
realized, and a valuation allowance of $40,435 was recorded against the net U.S. deferred tax
assets during the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, requires the Company to
adjust its effective tax rate each quarter to be consistent with the estimated annual effective tax
rate.
Under this effective tax rate methodology, the Company applies an estimated annual income tax rate
to its year-to-date ordinary earnings to derive its income tax provision each quarter. The tax
impact of certain significant, unusual or infrequently occurring items must be recorded in the
interim period in which they occur. Circumstances may arise which make it difficult for the
Company to determine a reasonable estimate of its annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year.
This is particularly true when small variations in the projected earnings or losses could result in
a significant fluctuation in the estimated annual effective
11

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
tax rate. In accordance with FASB
Interpretation No. 18, Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods, the Company has determined
that a reliable estimate of its annual income tax rate cannot be made, and that the tax impact of
the Companys operations in the U.S. should be removed from the effective tax rate methodology and
recorded discretely in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 based upon year-to-date results. The
quarterly income taxes for the Companys operations outside the U.S. continue to be estimated under
the effective tax rate methodology.
The following is a reconciliation of the provision for income taxes and effective tax rates for the
three and nine months ended December 26, 2007:

For the three months ended December 26, 2007, the Company reported a loss from continuing
operations before income taxes of $15,675, which resulted in an overall tax provision of $31,824
and an effective tax rate of -203.0 percent. For the nine months ended December 26, 2007, the
Company reported earnings
from continuing operations before income taxes of $6,340, which resulted in an overall tax
provision of $31,513 and an effective tax rate of 497.1 percent. The differences between the
effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for the three and nine months ended December
26, 2007 was primarily related to the $40,435 valuation allowance recorded during the third quarter
against the net deferred tax assets in the U.S. tax jurisdiction. The Company will continue to
provide a valuation allowance against its net U.S. deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2008 and going forward until the need for the valuation

(unaudited)
allowance is eliminated. The need
for the valuation allowance will be eliminated when the Company determines it is more likely than
not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted, and
will continue to be impacted, by providing a valuation allowance on U.S. operating losses.
For the three months ended December 26, 2006, the Company reported earnings from continuing
operations before income taxes of $19,063, which resulted in an overall tax provision of $2,706 and
an effective tax rate of 14.2 percent. For the nine months ended December 26, 2006, the Company
reported earnings from continuing operations before income taxes of $49,928, which resulted in an
overall tax provision of $6,876 and an effective tax rate of 13.8 percent. The difference between
the effective tax rate and the federal statutory tax rate for the three months ended December 26,
2006 primarily related to legislation that was passed extending the research and development tax
credit retroactively to January 1, 2006. The difference between the effective tax rate and the
federal statutory tax rate for the nine months ended December 26, 2006 included the research and
development legislation change, as well the recognition of a tax benefit related to net operating
losses in Brazil that were previously unavailable.
After adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on
April 1, 2007, the Companys total gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $8,587,
including $541 of accrued penalties and $770 of accrued interest. During the three months ended
December 26, 2007, the Company reduced its total gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits by
$1,455 related to certain adjustments in connection with an ongoing U.S. Internal Revenue Service
examination. During the nine months ended December 26, 2007, the Company recorded interest and
penalties of $169. During the nine months ended December 26, 2007, other individually
insignificant adjustments have been made to the gross liability related to various tax positions
resulting in a total gross liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $8,183 at December 26, 2007.
The Company does not expect any further significant increase or decrease in the total amount of
unrecognized tax benefits during the remainder of fiscal 2008.
The amount of unrecognized tax benefits on April 1, 2007 that, if recognized, would affect the
effective tax rate was $5,757. This amount has been reduced to $4,155 as of December 26, 2007 as
$1,602 of the unrecognized tax benefits are offset by a corresponding increase to the valuation
allowance and therefore would have no effect on the effective tax rate.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a
component of income tax expense.
The Company files income tax returns, including returns for its subsidiaries, with federal, state,
local and foreign taxing jurisdictions. The following tax years remain subject to examination by
the respective major tax jurisdictions:

From time to time, the Company has managed its currency exposure related to the net assets of
Modines European subsidiaries through euro-denominated borrowings entered into by the parent.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company recorded an adjustment to accumulated other
comprehensive income of $5,626 to properly reflect the income tax ramifications of net losses
related to the foreign-currency-denominated debt recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment
over the past several fiscal years. This adjustment was made in the third quarter of fiscal 2008
as it was deemed immaterial to the Companys financial position for the current period and all
previously reported periods. This adjustment had no impact on the Companys net (loss) earnings
for the current period or any period previously reported.
Note 9: Inventories
The amounts of raw materials, work in process and finished goods cannot be determined exactly
except by physical inventories. Based on partial interim physical inventories and percentage
relationships at the time of complete physical inventories, management believes the amounts shown
below are reasonable estimates of raw materials, work in process and finished goods.

Due to the existence of impairment indicators, the Company conducted an assessment for the impairment of certain
property, plant and equipment within the Original Equipment North America and the Original
Equipment Europe segments in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 in accordance with the provisions
of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. During this
assessment, certain long-lived assets were deemed to be impaired and a write-down to fair value was
considered necessary. As a result, an impairment charge of $7,686 was recorded during the three
months ended December 26, 2007.

The impairment charge included $3,011 related to assets in the Original Equipment North America
segment for a program which was not able to support its asset base. If future capital expenditures
are required for this program, additional impairment charges may be required. Also included in the
impairment charge was $4,675 related to assets in the Tübingen, Germany manufacturing facility
within the Original Equipment Europe segment based on the Companys intention to close this
facility.
Note 11: Restructuring, Plant Closures and Other Related Costs
In fiscal 2007, Modine announced a global competitiveness program intended to reduce costs,
accelerate technology development, and accelerate market and geographic expansion all intended to
stimulate growth and profits. The Company initiated the following plans: relocated its
Harrodsburg, Kentucky-based research and development activities to its technology center in Racine,
Wisconsin; offered a voluntary enhanced early retirement program in the U.S.; implemented a
reduction in force in the U.S.; and announced four facility closings within North America.
The Company has incurred $3,296 of termination charges, $663 of pension curtailment charges and
$8,824 of other closure costs to date related to these plans. Total additional costs which are
anticipated to be incurred through fiscal 2009 are approximately $2,400; consisting of $500 of
employee-related costs and $1,900 of other costs such as equipment moving costs and miscellaneous
facility closing costs. Total additional cash expenditures of approximately $4,600 are anticipated
to be incurred related to these plans.
The accrued restructuring liability for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2007 and 2006
were comprised of the following related to the above-described restructuring activities:

Note 12: Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
On May 1, 2007, Modine announced it would explore strategic alternatives for its Electronics
Cooling business. The Company is in negotiations with a potential purchaser of this business. In
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets, it was determined that the Electronics Cooling business should be presented as
held for sale and as a discontinued operation in the consolidated financial statements. The
Electronics Cooling business was formerly presented as part of the Other segment. See Note 19 for
further discussion on segments. The balance sheet amounts of the Electronics Cooling business have
been reclassified to assets and liabilities of business held for sale on the consolidated balance
sheet, and the operating results have been separately presented as a discontinued operation in the
consolidated statement of earnings for all periods presented.
At March 31, 2007, the Richland, South Carolina assets totaled $3,315 and consisted of land,
building and associated improvements. These assets, which were recorded in the Original Equipment
North America segment, were classified as assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet

The Company conducted its annual assessment for goodwill impairment in the third quarter of fiscal
2008 by applying a fair value based test in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets, and determined that the Original Equipment North America segment goodwill was
fully impaired, necessitating a charge of $23,769. The impairment was due to a recent declining
outlook for the Original Equipment North America segment as a result of weak North America sales
volumes and lower gross margins related to plant closures, new product launches and continued
pricing pressures impacting the vehicular industry. The fair value of the Companys remaining
reporting units exceeded their respective book values.
Intangible assets are comprised of the following:

Note 14: Indebtedness
The Company has $75,000, 4.91 percent Senior notes obtained through a private placement, maturing on
September 29, 2015, and $50,000, 5.68 percent Series A Senior notes and $25,000, 5.68 percent Series
B Senior notes obtained through a second private placement, maturing
on December 7, 2017 and December 7, 2018, respectively. The
Company also has an amended and restated $200,000 revolving credit agreement, which matures in
October 2009. At December 26, 2007 and 2006, $80,000 and $14,000 was outstanding
under the revolving credit facility, respectively.
Provisions contained in the Companys revolving credit facility and Senior note agreements require
the Company to maintain specified financial ratios and place certain limitations on dividend
payments and the acquisition of Modine common stock. The most restrictive limitations were
debt-to-earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) below a 3.0 to 1.0
ratio and earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to interest expense (interest coverage ratio)
greater than a 3.0 to 1.0 ratio. The Company would have been in violation of its interest coverage
ratio as of December 26, 2007 in one or more of its agreements, had the agreements not been
amended, primarily due to the goodwill impairment charge recorded within the Original Equipment
North America segment.
On February 1, 2008, the Company amended its credit facility and Senior note agreements to revise
certain financial covenants to allow the add-back of certain non-cash and cash charges in
connection with the calculations effective December 26, 2007. The most restrictive interest
coverage ratio was reduced from its current level of 3.0 to 1.0 to varying ratios for interim
quarters with the lowest being 1.75 to 1.0 and returning to 2.5 to 1.0 for the quarter ending June
30, 2009 and beyond. The Company was in compliance with all covenants, as amended, at December 26,
2007. Accordingly, the debt obligations associated with these amended agreements continue to be
classified as long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet at December 26, 2007. In connection
with these amendments, interest costs increased 35 basis points for the notes, for
the period beginning on April 1, 2008 and ending on June 30, 2009. In connection with the
amendments, the Company incurred $388 of amendment fees to its creditors, which will be recorded in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.
Note 15: Financial Instruments
Concentrations of Credit Risk: The Company invests excess cash in investment quality short-term
liquid debt instruments. Such investments are made only in instruments issued by high quality
institutions. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company sells a
broad range of products that provide thermal solutions to a diverse group of customers operating
throughout the world. At December 26, 2007 and March 31, 2007, approximately 47 percent and 53
percent, respectively, of the Companys trade
20

(In thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
accounts receivables were from the Companys top ten individual customers. These customers operate
primarily in the automotive, truck and heavy equipment markets and are all influenced by many of
the same market and general economic factors. To reduce credit risk, the Company performs periodic
customer credit evaluations and actively monitors their financial condition and developing business
news. The Company does not generally require collateral or advanced payments from its customers,
but does so in those cases where a substantial credit risk is identified. Credit losses to
customers operating in the markets served by the Company have not been material. Total bad debt
write-offs have been well below one percent of outstanding trade receivable balances for the
presented periods.
Inter-Company Loans Denominated in Foreign Currencies: The Company has certain foreign-denominated
long-term inter-company loans that are sensitive to foreign exchange rates. At December 26, 2007,
the Company had a 24,095 billion won ($25,663 U.S. equivalent), 8-yr loan to its wholly owned
subsidiary, Modine Korea, LLC, which matures on August 31, 2012. On April 6, 2005, the Company
entered into a zero cost collar to hedge the foreign exchange exposure on the entire amount of the
loan. This collar was settled on August 29, 2006 for a loss of $1,139. On August 29, 2006, the
Company entered into a new zero cost collar that expires on February 29, 2008 to hedge the foreign
exchange exposure on the entire amount of the loan.
At December 26, 2007, the Company had inter-company loans totaling $20,541 to its wholly owned
subsidiary, Modine do Brasil Sistemas Termicos, Ltda. (Modine Brazil), with various maturity dates
through February 2009. On June 21, 2007, the Company entered into a zero cost collar to hedge the
foreign exchange exposure on the principal amount of the loan. This collar has an expiration date
of March 31, 2008.
Note 16: Foreign Exchange Contracts/Derivatives/Hedges
Modine uses derivative financial instruments in a limited way as a tool to manage certain financial
risks. Their use is restricted primarily to hedging assets and obligations already held by Modine,
and they are used to protect cash flows rather than generate income or engage in speculative
activity. Leveraged derivatives are prohibited by Company policy.
Commodity derivatives: The Company enters into futures contracts related to certain of the
Companys forecasted purchases of aluminum and natural gas. The Companys strategy in entering
into these contracts is to reduce its exposure to changing prices for future purchases of these
commodities. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges by the Company.
Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are deferred as a component of other
comprehensive income, and recognized as a component of earnings at the same time that the
underlying purchases of aluminum and natural gas impact earnings. During the three months ended
December 26, 2007 and 2006, $1,480 of expense and $53 of income, respectively, was recorded in the
consolidated statements of operations related to the settlement of certain futures contracts.
During the nine months ended December 26, 2007 and 2006, $1,286 and $75 of expense, respectively,
was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations related to the settlement of certain
futures contracts. At December 26, 2007, $1,388 of unrealized losses remain deferred in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and will be realized as a component of cost of sales
over the next twelve months.
During the nine months ended December 26, 2007, the Company entered into futures contracts related
to certain of the Companys forecasted purchases of copper and nickel. The Companys strategy in
entering into these contracts is to reduce its exposure to changing purchase prices for future
purchases of these commodities. The Company has not designated these contracts as hedges,
therefore gains and losses on these contracts are recorded directly in the consolidated statements
of operations. During the three and
21

(In thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
nine months ended December 26, 2007, $1,365 and $891 of expense, respectively, was recorded in cost
of sales related to these futures contracts.
Interest rate derivatives: On August 5, 2005, the Company entered into a one-month forward
ten-year treasury interest rate lock in anticipation of a private placement borrowing which
occurred on December 29, 2005. The contract was settled on December 1, 2005 with a loss of $1,794.
On October 25, 2006, the Company entered into two forward starting swaps in anticipation of the
aggregate $75,000 private placement debt offerings that occurred on December 7, 2006. On November
14, 2006, the fixed interest rate on the private placement borrowing was locked and, accordingly,
the Company terminated and settled the forward starting swaps at a loss of $1,812. These interest
rate derivatives were treated as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions. Accordingly, the
losses are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are being
amortized to interest expense over the respective lives of the borrowings.
During the three months ended December 26, 2007 and 2006, $85 and $36 of expense, respectively, was
recorded in the consolidated statements of operations related to the amortization of the interest
rate derivative losses. During the nine months ended December 26, 2007 and 2006, $259 and $91 of
expense, respectively, was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations related to the
amortization of the interest rate derivative losses. At December 26, 2007, $1,816 of net
unrealized losses remains deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Note 17: Product Warranties and Other Commitments
Product warranties: Modine provides product warranties for its assorted product lines with warranty
periods generally ranging from one to ten years, with the majority falling within a two to four
year time period. The Company accrues for estimated future warranty costs in the period in which
the sale is recorded, and warranty expense estimates are forecasted based on the best information
available using analytical and statistical analysis of both historical and current claim data.
These expenses are adjusted when it becomes probable that expected claims will differ from initial
estimates recorded at the time of the sale.
Changes in the warranty liability were as follows:

Commitments: At December 26, 2007, the Company had capital expenditure commitments of $49,843.
Significant capital expenditure commitments include tooling and equipment expenditures for new and
renewal platforms with new and current customers in Europe, Asia and North America, along with the
expansion in Asia. The Company utilizes consignment inventory arrangements with certain vendors in
the normal course of business, whereby the suppliers maintain certain inventory stock at the
Companys facilities or at other outside facilities. In these cases, the Company has arrangements
with the vendor to use the material within a specific period of time.
Note 18: Share Repurchase Programs
During fiscal 2006, the Company announced two common share repurchase programs approved by the
Board of Directors. The first program, announced on May 18, 2005, was a dual purpose program
authorizing the repurchase of up to five percent of the Companys outstanding common stock, as well
as the indefinite buy-back of additional shares to offset dilution from Modines incentive stock
plans. The five percent portion of this program was completed in fiscal 2006, while the
anti-dilution portion of this program continues to be available to the Company. During the three
months ended December 26, 2007, 50 shares were purchased under the anti-dilution portion of this
program at an average cost of $27.63 per share, or a total of $1,382. During the nine months ended
December 26, 2007, 250 shares were purchased under the anti-dilution portion of this program at an
average cost of $27.48 per share, or a total of $6,870. No shares were repurchased under the
anti-dilution portion of this program during the three and nine months ended December 26, 2006. On
January 26, 2006, the Company announced a second share repurchase program, which authorized the
repurchase of up to ten percent of the Companys outstanding shares over an 18-month period of
time, which expired on July 26, 2007. No share repurchases were made under this program during
fiscal 2008. During the three months ended December 26, 2006, 49 shares were purchased under this
program at an average cost of $24.37 per share, or a total of $1,192. During the nine months ended
December 26, 2006, 503 shares were purchased under this program at an average cost of $26.38 per
share, or a total of $13,259. The repurchases were made from time to time at current prices
through solicited and unsolicited transactions in the open market or in privately negotiated or
other transactions. The Company is retiring shares acquired pursuant to the programs, and the
retired shares are being returned to the status of authorized but un-issued shares.
Note 19: Segment Information
Modines product lines consist of heat-transfer components and systems. Modine serves the
vehicular; industrial; building heating, ventilating and air conditioning; and fuel cell
original-equipment markets. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company implemented
certain management reporting changes which resulted in the following changes in Modines reportable
segments:
23
MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
|
|
The Brazilian operation was reported in the newly established South America segment; |
|
|
The Original Equipment Americas segment was renamed Original Equipment North America; |
|
|
Certain support departments previously included within Corporate and administrative were
realigned into the Original Equipment North America segment; |
|
|
The Commercial HVAC&R segment name was changed to Commercial Products; and |
|
|
The Electronics Cooling business, previously reported in the Other segment, was presented
as a discontinued operation. Therefore, the only remaining operation within the Other segment
is the Fuel Cell business, which is now reported as a separate segment. |
In conjunction with the above changes, the previously reported segment results have been restated
for comparative purposes. Based on the above changes, the Company has six reportable segments, as
follows:
Original Equipment Asia
Comprised of vehicular and industrial original equipment products in Asia.
Original Equipment Europe
Comprised of vehicular and industrial original equipment products in Europe.
Original Equipment North America
Comprised of vehicular and industrial original equipment products in North America.
South America
Comprised of vehicular and industrial original equipment products and aftermarket products in South America.
Commercial Products
Comprised of building heating, ventilating and air conditioning products throughout the world.
Fuel Cell
Comprised of global fuel cell products.
Each Modine segment is managed at the regional vice-president or managing director level and has
separate financial results reviewed by the Companys chief operating decision makers. These
results are used by management in evaluating the performance of each business segment, and in
making decisions on the allocation of resources among the Companys various businesses. The
segment results include certain allocations of Corporate selling, general and administrative
expenses, and the significant accounting policies of the segments are the same as those of Modine
as a whole. In addition, the segment data is presented on a continuing operations basis, except
where noted.

Note 20: Contingencies and Litigation
Market risks: The Company sells a broad range of products that provide thermal solutions to a
diverse group of customers operating primarily in the automotive, truck, heavy equipment and
commercial heating and air conditioning markets. A sustained economic downturn in any of these
markets could have a material adverse effect on the future results of operations or the Companys
liquidity.
Environmental: At present, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has designated the Company as a
potentially responsible party for remediation of four waste disposal sites with which the Company
may have had direct or indirect involvement. These sites are not Company owned and allegedly
contain wastes attributable to Modine from past operations. The percentage of material attributable
to Modine at these sites is relatively low. These claims are in various stages of administrative
or judicial proceedings and include recovery of past governmental costs and for future
investigations and remedial actions. The Companys potential liability is not expected to be
material at these sites based upon Modines relatively small portion of contributed waste. The
Company has other environmental cleanup and remediation exposure for certain facilities located in
the U.S., The Netherlands and Brazil.
Personal Injury Actions: The Company, along with Rohm and Haas Company and Morton International,
was named as a defendant in twenty-three separate personal injury actions that were filed in the
Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas (PCCP), including one case filed at the end of the third
quarter of fiscal 2008, and in a class action matter filed in the United States District Court,
Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The PCCP cases involve allegations of personal injury from
exposure to solvents that were allegedly released to groundwater and air for an undetermined period
of time. The federal court action seeks damages for medical monitoring and property value
diminution for a class of residents of a community that are allegedly at risk for personal injuries
as a result of exposure to this same allegedly contaminated groundwater and air. Plaintiffs
counsel had threatened to file further personal injury cases. The Company mediated this matter in
December, 2007 and has executed agreements with Plaintiffs counsel settling the PCCP cases and the
class action. It is expected that, as a result of the executed settlement agreements, the Company
will be dismissed from the federal case and the PCCP cases by the end of the second quarter of
fiscal 2009. The ultimate conclusion of these cases, which is subject to the good faith findings
by the appropriate courts and performance under the settlement agreements is expected by the end of
the second quarter of fiscal 2009.
The Companys general liability insurers were present and participated in the above-referenced
mediation. The Company has obtained agreements from two of those insurers as to appropriate
coverage.

The third general liability insurer, Travelers Indemnity Company (Travelers), filed a
declaratory judgment action against the Company and the two other insurers, Sentry Insurance, a
Mutual Company, and American Motorists Insurance Company, in the Superior Court of Connecticut,
Hartford, Connecticut on December 21, 2007. The Company filed a countervailing action against
Travelers in Wisconsin Circuit Court, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on January 8, 2008. As of February 4,
2008 the date hereof, a verbal agreement has been reached with Travelers and, pursuant to this
verbal agreement, the Company expects that a settlement of all issues will result in the dismissal
of these cases by the end of fiscal 2008.
Other Litigation. In June 2004, the Servicio de Administracion Tributaria in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico,
where the Company operates a plant in its Commercial Products segment, notified the Company of a
tax assessment based primarily on the administrative authoritys belief that the Company (i)
imported goods not covered by the Maquila program and (ii) that it imported goods under a different
tariff classification than the ones approved. The Company filed a Nullity Tax Action with the
Federal Tax Court (Tribunal Federal de Justicia Fiscal y Adminstrativa) in Monterrey, Mexico, and
received a favorable ruling from the Federal Tax Court in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The
ruling of the Federal Tax Court has been appealed by the Servicio de Administracion Tributaria.
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, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, other governmental agencies and others
in which claims, such as personal injury, property damage, intellectual property or antitrust and
trade regulation issues, are asserted against Modine.
If a loss arising from environmental and other litigation matters is probable and can reasonably be
estimated, the Company records the amount of the estimated loss, or the minimum estimated liability
when the loss is estimated using a range, and no point within the range is more likely than
another. The undiscounted reserves for these matters totaled $9,399 and $1,397 at December 26,
2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively. Insurance recoveries associated with these matters of
$3,056 were recorded for the three and nine months ended December 26, 2007. The Company recorded
additional reserves of $3,369 and $5,169, net of insurance recoveries, for the three and nine
months ended December 26, 2007. No additional reserves were recorded during the three and nine
months ended December 26, 2006. Many of these matters are covered by various insurance policies;
however, the Company does not record any insurance recoveries until these are realized or
realizable. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these
matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Based on currently available
information, Modine believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters, individually and in the
aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or overall trends in
results of operations. However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and
unfavorable outcomes could occur, including significant monetary damages. If an unfavorable
outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of
operations of the period in which the outcome occurs.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
When we use the terms Modine, we, us, Company, or our in this report, unless the context
otherwise requires, 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 26, 2007 refers to the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Our subsidiaries located
outside of the United States primarily report results with a one month lag.
Third Quarter Overview: Net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 were $495 million,
representing an 8 percent increase from the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The growth in revenues
was driven by continued strong volumes in our European operations, as well as improvements in our
Brazil, Asia and Commercial Products operations. In addition, our net sales have been positively
impacted by foreign currency exchange rate changes as the U.S. dollar continues to weaken in
comparison to foreign currencies, particularly the euro, Korean won and Brazilian real. These
increased revenues were largely offset by a 22 percent reduction in North American sales volumes
from the third quarter of fiscal 2007 based on decreased build rates in the heavy and medium duty
truck markets following the January 1, 2007 emissions law changes in the U.S. While we anticipated
a cyclical reduction in North American truck volumes due to pre-buy activity which preceded the
emissions law change, the reduction in build rates has been more significant and is extending for a
longer time period than originally anticipated. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the
Company reported a loss from continuing operations of $48 million, which represents a $64 million
decrease from the earnings from continuing operations of $16 million reported in the third quarter
of fiscal 2007. The following factors contributed to this decline in earnings from the third
quarter of fiscal 2007 to the third quarter of fiscal 2008:
|
|
|
Goodwill impairment charge During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, a goodwill
impairment charge of $24 million was recorded in our Original Equipment North America
business. During the third quarter, the Companys outlook for this business was reduced,
which resulted in the book value of assets employed in this business exceeding the fair
value of this business. Several factors contributed to this reduced outlook for the
Original Equipment North America business: |
|
o |
|
Our future growth prospects within this business have declined from
previous management projections. The recent decline in the North American truck
market has caused us to reexamine our assumptions around future emissions law
changes, specifically the upcoming change in fiscal 2010. In addition, we are
estimating reduced prospects for future business, as our customers have shifted
programs outside of North America. |
|
|
o |
|
Our future outlook includes a margin outlook lower than our previous
expectations for this business. Plant closures and inefficiencies related to new
product launches are having a near-term impact on our margins, and continued
industry-wide customer pricing pressures are anticipated to adversely affect the
North American vehicular market. Our products have an increasing material content,
which makes offsetting these pricing pressures through manufacturing improvements
more difficult. |
|
|
|
Long-lived asset impairment charges During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we
recorded impairment charges of $8 million against certain long-lived assets. Of this
amount, $3 million was related to an impairment review of our long-lived assets in Original
Equipment North America, where a program was identified as being unable to support its
asset base. The remaining $5 million impairment charge was recorded for our Tübingen,
Germany manufacturing facility in Europe, which is intended to be closed. |
|
|
|
|
Deferred tax valuation allowance During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded
a deferred tax valuation allowance of $40 million against the net U.S. deferred tax assets.
This charge primarily related to the existence of projected losses in the U.S., which
resulted in the determination that it was more likely than not that the U.S. deferred taxes
would not be realized, requiring a full valuation allowance to be recorded. The current
year decline in profitability in our Original Equipment North America business, coupled
with the decline in future outlook for this business, were significant factors contributing
to the projected losses and the need for the valuation allowance. |
28
|
|
|
Negative Original Equipment North America performance The decline in high margin
North American truck volumes, as well as operating inefficiencies and underabsorption of
fixed overhead costs in our North American facilities as we continue to realign our
manufacturing operations, contributed to a $14 million decline in gross profit and a
decrease in gross margin from 11.6 percent to 4.7 percent from the third quarter of fiscal
2007 to the third quarter of fiscal 2008 for the Original Equipment North America
business. |
|
|
|
|
Positive European performance Our European business continues to experience strong
volumes and performance, which resulted in a $10 million increase in pre-tax earnings.
These positive results are an example of the benefits obtained by our global
diversification strategy, as these strong results partially offset the negative results in
our North America business. |
In response to the third quarter loss and the reduced outlook for the Original Equipment North
America business, we are implementing a number of cost and operational efficiency measures that
will be designed to improve our longer term competitiveness. The following actions have been
identified:
|
|
|
Manufacturing realignment We have announced the anticipated closure of three
facilities in North America and the intended closure of the Tübingen, Germany facility in
Europe. These closures are designed to improve asset utilization and improve our long-term
business performance. These closures are in addition to our previously announced four
plant closures in North America, of which our Jackson, Mississippi facility and Clinton,
Tennessee facility closures are currently in process. The cost of these additional
restructuring activities is anticipated to be in a range of $40 million to $45 million,
consisting of approximately $11 million of employee-related costs, with the remainder
comprised of other related costs. These closures are anticipated to be completed by the
end of fiscal 2010, and will result in cash-related costs in the range of $30 million to
$35 million. In addition to improved asset utilization, these closures are expected to
result in annualized savings in the range of $20 million to $25 million once completed.
Approximately $10 million of accruable costs related to the restructuring activities will
be recorded during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. |
|
|
|
|
Allocation of capital We have recently introduced an enhanced capital allocation
process which is designed to allocate capital spending to the segments and programs that
will provide the highest return on our investment. We anticipate our capital spending in
the intermediate term to be at or below depreciation levels. |
In addition to the above defined actions, we will also be working on additional actions relating to
selling, general and administrative (SG&A) cost containment and portfolio rationalization. These
additional actions are currently under development, and will be defined within the near future.
Collectively, the actions described above are aligned with our goal of driving the return on
average capital employed by the company higher through increased discipline around gross margins,
working capital and asset turns.
Year to Date Overview: Net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 were $1,371 million,
which represents a 5 percent increase from the first nine months of fiscal 2007. During the first
nine months of fiscal 2008, we experienced strong revenues in our operations outside North America,
especially within Europe, Asia, South America and more recently, within our Commercial Products
business. In addition, the benefits of the weak U.S. dollar over this nine month period also
contributed to the growth in our international revenues. Significantly offsetting these strong
revenues was a $142 million decrease in North American revenues based largely on the substantial
reduction in North American truck build rates. Earnings from continuing operations decreased $68
million from the first nine months of fiscal 2007. This decline relates to the goodwill and
long-lived asset impairment charges of $32 million and deferred tax valuation allowance of $40
million recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, as well as changes in our product mix toward
lower margin products with the reduction in North American truck volumes.

Comparison of Three Months Ended December 26, 2007 and 2006
Third quarter net sales of $495.3 million were $37.2 million higher than the $458.1 million
reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The increase in revenues was driven by a $78.2
million improvement in revenues in our European, Asian, South American and Commercial Products
businesses based on continued strength within these regions, which includes $31.1 million of
favorable foreign currency exchange rate changes. Largely offsetting these increases was declining
revenues of $38.2 million in North America based on decreased build rates in the truck market
following the January 1, 2007 emissions law change.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, gross margin decreased 150 basis points from 17.0 percent
for last years third quarter to 15.5 percent in the third quarter of this year. The decrease in
gross margin is primarily related to a shift in our product mix away from higher margin truck
products in North America. In addition, the manufacturing realignment currently in progress in
North America, including the process of closing four plants and the consolidation and launch of
products lines, resulted in operating inefficiencies during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 which
caused margin pressure. We achieved year-over-year net positive results in materials pricing
during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, as commodity costs remained relatively stable during this
quarter.
SG&A expenses increased $1.4 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to the third quarter of
fiscal 2008. Included in this amount are $2.1 million of negative foreign currency exchange rate
changes, partially offset by an improvement of $0.7 million due to several largely offsetting
items. The most significant offsetting items include additional environmental and litigation
expense recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, offset by a reduction in employee benefit
costs including reduced pension costs as a result of the freeze of the salaried portion of the
pension plan during fiscal 2008.
Restructuring income and expenses is primarily comprised of severance costs incurred under our
global competitiveness plan which was initiated during fiscal 2007. No significant restructuring
amounts were recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2008. During the third quarter of fiscal
2007, $0.9 million of restructuring expense was recorded upon the announcement of activities under
our global competitiveness plan.
30
During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we recorded $31.5 million of asset impairment charges.
Included in this amount is a goodwill impairment charge of $23.8 million and a long-lived asset
impairment charge of $3.0 million recorded in our Original Equipment North America segment and a
long-lived asset impairment charge of $4.7 million recorded in our Original Equipment Europe
segment.
Income from operations decreased $32.8 million from income of $17.8 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 2007 to a loss of $15.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The goodwill and
long-lived asset impairment charges of $31.5 million were the primary factors contributing to this
reduction.
Other income decreased $1.3 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to the third quarter of
fiscal 2008. During the third quarter of fiscal 2007, other income included a purchase price
settlement relating to the fiscal 2005 acquisition of WiniaMandos Automotive Climate Control
Division. No similar settlement was recorded during fiscal 2008. Partially offsetting this
decrease was a $1.0 million improvement in equity earnings.

third quarter of fiscal 2008 (dollars in thousands):

During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we reported a loss from continuing operations before
income taxes of $15.7 million, which resulted in an overall tax provision of $31.8 million and an
effective tax rate of -203.0 percent. The differences between the effective tax rate and the
federal statutory tax rate for the quarter was primarily related to the $40.4 million valuation
allowance recorded against the net U.S. deferred tax assets. We will continue to provide a
valuation allowance against our net U.S. deferred tax assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008
and going forward until the need for the valuation allowance is eliminated. The need for the
valuation allowance will be eliminated when we determine that the deferred tax assets will be
realized. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted, and will continue to impacted, by providing a
valuation allowance on U.S. operating losses.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2007, we reported earnings from continuing operations before
income taxes of $19.1 million, which resulted in an overall tax provision of $2.7 million and an
effective tax rate of 14.2 percent. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal
statutory tax rate for the quarter primarily related to legislation that was passed extending the
research and development tax credit retroactively to January 1, 2006.
Earnings from continuing operations decreased $63.8 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2007
to the third quarter of fiscal 2008. In addition, diluted earnings per share from continuing
operations decreased from earnings of $0.51 per share to a loss of $1.49 per share over this same
period. The asset impairment charges and deferred tax valuation allowance recorded during the
third quarter of fiscal 2008 along with
the downturn in the Original Equipment North America segment, had the most significant impact on
the reduction in earnings and earnings per share.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended December 26, 2007 and 2006
Fiscal 2008 year to date net sales of $1,370.9 million were $63.3 million higher than the $1,307.6
million reported in the same period last year. The increase in revenues was driven by a $204.1
million improvement in revenues in our European, Asian and South American businesses, which
includes $63.3 million of favorable foreign currency exchange rate changes. Partially offsetting
these increases was a $142.2 million decrease in North American revenues based largely on reduced
build rates in the truck market.
Fiscal 2008 year to date gross margin decreased to 15.4 percent from 17.1 percent reported in the
same period last year. The decrease in gross margin is primarily related to a shift in our product
mix toward lower margin products and away from higher margin truck products in North America. In
addition, operating inefficiencies in our North American operations during fiscal 2008 contributed
to the reduction in gross margin.
Fiscal 2008 year to date SG&A expenses decreased $0.4 million from the same period last year. The
income generated from the second quarter fiscal 2008 amendment to freeze the salaried portion of
our pension plan and sale of a corporate aircraft were offset by $5.2 million of higher SG&A costs
due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, and increased environmental and
litigation costs.
Fiscal 2008 year to date restructuring income of $0.3 million represents reversals of previously
established severance accruals upon employee terminations prior to the completion of required
retention periods. During the same period last year, $2.4 million of restructuring expense was
recorded upon the announcement of activities under our global competitiveness plan.
Fiscal 2008 year to date interest expense increased $2.0 million over the same period last year,
based on increased borrowings in fiscal 2008 due to a decrease in income from operations and cash
flow provided by these operations, as well as incremental funding of working capital requirements
and capital expenditures.
Fiscal 2008 year to date other income remained constant at $7.0 million over the same period last
year. Foreign currency transaction gains and higher equity earnings recorded in the first nine
months of fiscal 2008 were offset by a reduction due to the absence of a purchase price settlement
similar to that recorded in the prior year.

first nine months of fiscal 2008 (dollars in thousands):

During the first nine months of fiscal 2008, we reported earnings from continuing operations
before income taxes of $6.3 million, which resulted in an overall tax provision of $31.5 million
and an effective tax rate of 497.1 percent. The differences between the effective tax rate and the
federal statutory tax rate
32
for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was primarily related to the
$40.4 million valuation allowance recorded during the third quarter against the net U.S. deferred
tax assets.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2007, we reported earnings from continuing operations before
income taxes of $49.9 million, which resulted in an overall tax provision of $6.9 million and an
effective tax rate of 13.8 percent. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal
statutory tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 included the research and development
legislation change, as well the recognition of a tax benefit related to net operating losses in
Brazil that were previously unavailable.
Earnings from continuing operations decreased $68.2 million from the first nine months of fiscal
2007 to the first nine months of fiscal 2008. In addition, diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations decreased from earnings of $1.40 per share to a loss per share of $0.77 over
this same period. The asset impairment charges and deferred tax valuation allowance recorded
during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 had the most significant impact on the reduction in
earnings and earnings per share.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we announced the intention to explore strategic
alternatives for our Electronics Cooling business, and we are in negotiations with a potential
purchaser of this business. At December 26, 2007, $15.6 million of assets and $4.0 million of
liabilities for this business have been presented as held for sale in the consolidated balance
sheet. In addition, the Electronics Cooling business continues to be presented as a discontinued
operation. As a result of this presentation, the net earnings of $0.1 million and net loss of
$0.01 million related to this business for the three months ended December 26, 2007 and 2006,
respectively, and net earnings of $0.5 million and $2.0 million for the nine months ended December
26, 2007 and 2006, respectively, have been separately presented in the consolidated statements of
earnings as a component of earnings (loss) from discontinued operations (net of income taxes). The
reduction in the year to date earnings of this business was related to a tax benefit of $8.0
million which was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 based on the determination that the
investment in the Taiwan portion of the Electronics Cooling Business had become worthless. No
similar tax benefit was recorded during fiscal 2008. The fiscal 2007 tax benefit was partially
offset by operating losses in the business during the first nine months of fiscal 2007. During the
first nine months of fiscal 2008, the Electronics Cooling business has generated a significantly
improved gross margin and positive earnings.
The following table presents the quarterly and annual results of the Electronics Cooling business
reported during fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, which will be separately presented as a component of
earnings (loss) from discontinued operations in future quarterly and annual filings (amounts in
thousands):

SEGMENT RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we implemented several management reporting changes in
conjunction with the introduction of a global vehicular product-focus which supports our
traditional regional organization structure. As a result of these changes, a new South America
segment was created. The Original Equipment Americas segment was renamed the Original Equipment
North America segment. Certain support departments previously included within Corporate and
administrative were realigned into the Original Equipment North America segment. The Commercial
HVAC&R segment was renamed Commercial Products. The Other segment was renamed the Fuel Cell
segment as the results of the Electronics Cooling business were removed from this segment and
separately presented as a discontinued operation. As a result of these changes, we have six
reportable segments, which are managed at the regional vice-president or managing director level,
and have separate financial results reviewed by our chief operating decision makers. Our
previously reported segment results have been restated to reflect these changes on a comparative
basis. We believe this revised reporting segment structure reinforces the benefits of market,
customer and geographic diversification and product breadth around our core business and technology
platform in thermal management.

Comparison of Three Months Ended December 26, 2007 and 2006
Original Equipment Asia net sales increased $8.6 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to
the third quarter of fiscal 2008, driven by strong condenser and bus air conditioning product sales
within our passenger thermal management product group, and growing sales volumes within our
powertrain cooling product group. In addition, foreign currency exchange rate changes favorably
impacted sales by $2.1 million. Gross margin improved from 10.1 percent during the third quarter
of fiscal 2007 to 11.3 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, as purchasing savings and
operating efficiency improvements more than offset customer price downs. SG&A expenses increased
$3.0 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to the third quarter of fiscal 2008 primarily
due to ongoing expansion in this region with the construction of new manufacturing facilities in
China and India, as well as the establishment of a corporate office in China. The income from
continuing operations decreased $1.3 million over the periods presented, based largely on the
increased SG&A expenses offset by the improvement in gross margin.
34
Comparison of Nine Months Ended December 26, 2007 and 2006
Original Equipment Asia fiscal 2008 year to date net sales increased $44.7 million from the same
period last year, based on continued strength in our condenser and bus air conditioning products,
as well as the absence of strike related activity similar to that experienced during fiscal 2007.
Foreign currency exchange rate changes also favorably impacted sales by $5.7 million. Gross margin
improved from 8.4 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 to 10.0 percent during the
first nine months of fiscal 2008, as purchasing savings and operating efficiencies more than offset
customer price downs. SG&A expenses increased $5.5 million over the comparable nine month periods
primarily due to ongoing expansion in this region with the construction of new manufacturing
facilities in China and India, as well as the establishment of a corporate office in China. The
China facility began production in the third quarter of fiscal 2008, and the India facility is
scheduled to begin production in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Income from continuing
operations of $1.1 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 improved $1.5 million from
the prior year loss based on the increased sales and improvement in gross margin.

Comparison of Three Months Ended December 26, 2007 and 2006
Original Equipment Europe net sales increased $51.7 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2007
to the third quarter of fiscal 2008, driven by strong volumes in powertrain cooling and engine
related products (exhaust gas recirculation coolers), and growing condenser volumes. In addition,
foreign currency exchange rate changes favorably impacted sales by $22.2 million. Gross margin
improved from 20.1 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to 21.2 percent during the third
quarter of fiscal 2008, primarily due to purchasing savings and operating efficiency improvements.
SG&A expenses decreased $1.9 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to the third quarter of
fiscal 2008, primarily related to various cost-savings programs. An impairment charge of $4.7
million was recorded during the third quarter at the Tübingen, Germany manufacturing facility as
this facility is intended for closure. Income from continuing operations improved $9.8 million
over the periods presented, based on the contribution impact of the increased sales volumes and
operating efficiencies partially offset by the asset impairment charge.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended December 26, 2007 and 2006
Original Equipment Europe fiscal 2008 year to date net sales increased $114.6 million from the
same period last year, based on continued strength in powertrain cooling products, engine related
products and condenser sales volumes and a $47.0 million favorable impact of foreign currency
exchange rate changes. Gross margin decreased slightly from 20.3 percent during the first nine
months of fiscal 2007 to 20.0 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2008, due to a change
in mix of our sales towards lower margin products, as well as customer price downs which we were
not entirely able to offset with purchasing savings and performance improvements in our
manufacturing facilities. SG&A expenses remained consistent at $37.0 million for the nine month
periods. An impairment charge of $4.7 million was recorded during the third quarter at the
Tübingen, Germany facility due to its net book value exceeding its fair value. Income from
continuing operations improved $17.1 million from the first nine months of fiscal 2007 to the first
nine months of fiscal 2008 based on the contribution impact of the
35
increased sales volumes. Construction is currently underway for our new Hungarian facility within
this region, with production scheduled to begin in fiscal 2009.

Comparison of Three Months Ended December 26, 2007 and 2006
Original Equipment North America net sales decreased $38.2 million from the third quarter of
fiscal 2007 to the third quarter of fiscal 2008, primarily driven by an ongoing downturn in the
heavy duty truck market as a result of pre-buy activity in advance of the January 1, 2007 emission
requirement changes in North America. Medium and heavy duty truck sales have declined 33.2 percent
year-over-year within this region. Gross margin decreased from 11.6 percent during the third
quarter of fiscal 2007 to 4.7 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2008. This decline was
primarily related to the following two factors: (1) the significant reduction in sales volumes has
resulted in a decline in gross profit, an underabsorption of fixed overhead costs and a lower gross
margin as we have excess capacity in many of our North American facilities; and (2) the
manufacturing realignment currently in progress in North America, including the process of closing
operating facilities, transferring and consolidating product lines, and launching new product lines
has resulted in operating inefficiencies which has impacted our gross margin. A goodwill impairment
charge of $23.8 million was recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as a result of a
declining outlook for this segment. These reduced expectations are based on declining sales volumes
and lower gross margin related to plant closures, product-line transfers and continued customer
pricing pressures which are impacting the North American vehicular industry as a whole. In
addition, a long-lived asset impairment charge of $3.0 million was recorded during the third
quarter of fiscal 2008 as the result of a program line which was not able to support its asset
base. If future capital expenditures are required for this program, additional impairment charges
may be required. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, this segment incurred a loss from
continuing operations of $31.1 million, which has decreased $40.6 million from the income from
continuing operations of $9.5 million earned in the third quarter of fiscal 2007, primarily due to
the asset impairment charges and declining gross margin.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended December 26, 2007 and 2006
Original Equipment North America fiscal 2008 year to date net sales decreased $142.2 million from
the same period last year, based largely on the ongoing downturn in the North American truck market
following the January 1, 2007 emission law changes. Gross margin decreased from 14.2 percent during
the first nine months of fiscal 2007 to 6.1 percent during the first nine months of fiscal 2008,
primarily related to the underabsorption of fixed overhead costs in our manufacturing facilities
due to the significantly reduced sales volumes, as well as operating inefficiencies incurred in
conjunction with our manufacturing realignment activities. A goodwill impairment charge of $23.8
million was recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as a result of a declining outlook for
this segment. In addition, a long-lived asset impairment charge of $3.0 million was recorded during
the third quarter of fiscal 2008 as
36
the result of a product line which was not able to support its
asset base. During the first nine months of fiscal 2008, this segment incurred a loss from
continuing operations of $34.2 million, which has
decreased $75.8 million from the income from continuing operations earned in the first nine months
of fiscal 2007, based primarily on the asset impairment charges, significant reduction in sales
volumes and declining gross margin. To date, the manufacturing realignment activities within this
region have resulted in two facility closures, with two additional closures coming in the next
fiscal year at our Jackson, Mississippi and Clinton, Tennessee facilities. In addition,
construction of our new facility in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico is nearly completed, and we expect to
begin production at this facility early in fiscal 2009. The Company recently announced additional
restructuring actions which include the anticipated closure of three additional manufacturing
facilities in North America to be completed over the next 18 to 24 months.

Comparison of Three Months Ended December 26, 2007 and 2006
South America net sales increased $12.1 million from the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to the third
quarter of fiscal 2008, driven by robust agricultural and commercial vehicle sales in Brazil, which
are markets that we have a leading position in. In addition, the improving economic environment in
Brazil and $5.5 million of favorable foreign currency exchange rate changes also contributed to the
increase in sales. Gross margin decreased from 22.7 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2007
to 18.4 percent during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, primarily related to higher material
procurement and storage costs due to certain supplier delivery issues, as well as inefficiencies
related to the start-up of a new production process in Brazil. Income from continuing operations
improved $1.0 million over the periods presented, based on the increased sales volumes.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended December 26, 2007 and 2006
South America fiscal 2008 year to date net sales increased $44.8 million from the same period last
year, based on continued strength in the Brazilian agricultural and commercial vehicle markets,
along with strength in the overall Brazilian economy. In addition, foreign currency exchange rate
changes favorably impacted sales by $10.6 million. Gross margin improved slightly from 20.5 percent
during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 to 20.8 percent during the first nine months of fiscal
2008. Income from continuing operations improved $6.0 million from the first nine months of fiscal
2007 to the first nine months of fiscal 2008 based on the increased sales volumes. South Americas
results of operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 represented seven months of results
after the May 2007 acquisition of the remaining 50 percent of our Brazilian joint venture.

Fuel Cell is in the start-up phase with quarterly sales typically less than $1.0 million. We
continue to partner with customers such as Bloom Energy and Ceres Power to provide, in the near
future, clean, continuous power applying fuel cell technology to stand-alone power systems. We
believe that fuel cell technology has the long term potential to contribute up to 10 percent of the
Companys consolidated revenues toward the end of the five year planning period based on customer
estimates of volumes.
38
Outlook for the Remainder of the Year
Based on the significant impact of the North American heavy duty truck market and the continued
operating inefficiencies in our North American operations, we have updated our outlook for the
remainder of fiscal 2008. We are projecting fiscal 2008 sales to improve from fiscal 2007 of $1.72
billion to approximately $1.80 billion. This assumes that the strong sales performance within
Original Equipment Asia, Original Equipment Europe and South America segments will continue for
the remainder of fiscal 2008. However, these strong sales volumes are expected to be largely offset
by the decreased volumes in the North American truck market which have been weak during fiscal
2008. Gross margin is expected to be approximately 15.0 percent, which is lower than the gross
margin of 16.2 percent in fiscal 2007. The underabsorption of fixed costs and the manufacturing
realignment inefficiencies in North America are the
most significant factors contributing to this reduction in gross margin. Pre-tax losses are
projected to be approximately $7 million, which is below the fiscal 2007 pre-tax earnings of $45
million. This projected pre-tax loss includes $31.5 million of asset impairment charges recorded
during the third quarter of fiscal 2008. We are expecting a fourth quarter pre-tax loss of $13
million, which includes an estimated $10 million of accruable costs related to our restructuring
actions. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, we reported a pre-tax loss of $5 million. These
earnings and loss estimates exclude any impact from the potential sale of our Electronics Cooling
business. These estimates may be adversely affected if volumes deteriorate below our current
expectations. We anticipate our capital spending in the intermediate term to be at or below
depreciation levels.
In fiscal 2008 and beyond, we intend to remain focused on our strategies of developing new products
and technologies, expanding into new markets and geographies and reducing our costs. These
strategies and actions will make us a more cost competitive, innovative and efficient technology
provider to our current and future customers. We will continue our repositioning efforts with the
anticipated closure of three North America manufacturing plants and the intention to close the
Tübingen, Germany manufacturing plant in Europe. We are implementing programs to change our
manufacturing footprint, reduce our fixed and variable cost structure and standardize our
manufacturing processes and global product offering. The goal of these strategies and actions is to
improve our gross margin to a range of 18.0 percent to 20.0 percent and decrease our SG&A expenses
as a percentage of sales to 11.5 percent upon completion of the restructuring actions in fiscal
2011.
See Forward-Looking Statements below.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operating activities and borrowings under lines
of credit provided by banks in the United States and abroad. The Company expects to meet its future
operating, capital expenditure and strategic acquisition costs primarily through these sources.
Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended December 26, 2007 was $45.8 million
compared to $67.5 million one year ago. The difference was mainly the result of reduced operating
results and increased working capital build. Working capital of $208.7 million at the end of the
third quarter of fiscal 2008 was higher than the prior year-end balance of $148.9 million,
primarily due to increased receivable balances and inventory levels to support growing sales
volumes within the Company. Inventory turns increased slightly from 13.3 at the end of the third
quarter of fiscal 2007 to 13.5 at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2008. Days sales
outstanding remained consistent at 52 for both the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and the third
quarter of fiscal 2008.
At December 26, 2007, the Company had capital expenditure commitments of $49.8 million. Significant
capital expenditure commitments include tooling and equipment expenditures for new and renewal
platforms with new and current customers in Europe, Asia and North America. Generally, we
anticipate our annual capital expenditures will approximate our annual depreciation expense. In
fiscal 2008, we are anticipating that our capital expenditures will exceed our annual depreciation
expense due to the construction of our new facilities in China, Mexico, India and Hungary. Modine
believes that its internally generated operating cash flow and existing cash balances, together
with access to available external borrowing, will be sufficient to satisfy future operating,
capital expenditure and strategic business opportunity costs.
39
Debt
Outstanding debt increased $65.2 million to $244.5 million at December 26, 2007 from the March 31,
2007 balance of $179.3 million. An increase of $57.0 million in domestic long-term debt and an
increase of $8.2 million in international short-term debt accounted for this change. During the
first three quarters of fiscal 2008, additional net borrowings of $57.0 million were made on
existing domestic credit lines
primarily to finance capital expenditures related to construction of plants in Mexico, China and
India, the increase in working capital, and the share repurchase program.
Consolidated available lines of credit decreased $56.8 million to $172.7 million since March 31,
2007. An additional $75.0 million is available on the credit line revolver, subject to lenders
approval, bringing the total available up to $247.7 million. Domestically, Modines unused lines of
credit decreased $57.0 million to $120.0 million, due to the borrowings mentioned above. Unused
lines of credit also exist in Europe, South Korea and Brazil, and totaled $52.7 million, in the
aggregate, at December 26, 2007. At December 26, 2007, total debt-to-capital ratio (total debt plus
shareholders equity) was 32.0 percent compared with 26.7 percent at the end of fiscal 2007.
Certain of the Companys debt agreements require it to maintain specific financial ratios and place
certain limitations on dividend payments and the acquisition of our common stock. At December 26,
2007, we would have been in violation of certain debt agreements due to the goodwill impairment
charge of $23.8 million recorded during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 absent amendments to
certain financial covenants. On February 1, 2008, we reached an agreement with our primary lenders
to amend our debt agreements. The primary purpose of the amendments was to secure prospective
relief under the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to interest expense ratio (interest
coverage ratio), and to permit the add-back of certain cash and non-cash charges. The cash charges
relate to Modines recently announced restructuring program, where we are permitted to add back
future cash-related charges up to a basket limit of $25 million through fiscal 2010. After amending
the agreements, we were in compliance with all financial ratios effective December 26, 2007. In
connection with these amendments, interest costs increased 35 basis points on the $150 million of
private placement notes for the period of April 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. In addition, we
incurred $0.4 million of amendment fees.
The amendment to allow the add-back of certain non-cash charges permitted the Company to add back
the third quarter goodwill impairment charge, and thus to be in compliance with the financial
covenants as of December 26, 2007. The amendment to allow the
add-back of certain cash charges was completed so that the Company may conduct the recently announced restructuring actions
within the bounds of the financial covenants.
The prospective relief under the interest coverage ratio was necessary in order for the Company to
continue to comply with this covenant on a quarterly basis over the next two fiscal years. We
assessed our ability to meet the amended interest coverage ratio based on a recent analysis of the
Companys fiscal 2009 and 2010 plans. We conducted a sensitivity analysis of our 2009 plan against
our financial covenants, with particular focus on a quarterly review of the anticipated fiscal 2009
results. This sensitivity analysis identified that we have approximately $5 million to $9 million
of quarterly EBIT cushion under the interest coverage ratio beginning with the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2008 and ending with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. The ongoing achievement of our plan
is critical to remaining in compliance with the financial covenants, and we believe that the plan
is achievable. Therefore management anticipates that we will remain in compliance with the interest
coverage ratio for the remainder of fiscal 2008 and through fiscal 2009, with on-going compliance
thereafter. The other significant financial covenant included within our debt agreements is a
debt-to-earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ratio (leverage
ratio). Our EBITDA cushion within the leverage ratio is substantially greater than our EBIT
cushion.
Our on-going ability to remain in compliance with the amended financial covenants assumes a debt
level relatively consistent with the December 26, 2007 balance of $244.5 million. The Company
believes that this is an achievable assumption based on the availability of cash provided by
operating activities, as well as
40
additional sources of cash. These additional sources include the
ability to access available cash generated by our Original Equipment Europe business; the pending
sale of our Electronics Cooling Business; and the receipt of tax refunds currently owed to the
Company. In addition, we are reviewing interest rate risk management opportunities that would
permit us to lower our interest expense for some portion of the debt existing under the revolving
credit agreement. We also significantly reduced anticipated capital spending in the fiscal 2009 and
fiscal 2010 plans, and anticipate this spending to be at
or below our current depreciation levels. To the extent that these sources of cash are not
sufficient to fully fund our cash requirements, we currently estimate that we could incur
additional borrowings averaging approximately $115 million under our domestic unused lines of
credit without violating a financial covenant although this level of borrowing would nearly
eliminate our EBIT cushion.
Risk factors which could impact our liquidity are included in Part II. Item 1A. of this report.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which addresses how companies should
measure fair value when required to use a fair value measure for recognition or disclosure purposes
under generally accepted accounting principles. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands the disclosures on fair value measurements. We are
required to adopt SFAS No. 157 in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and are currently assessing the
impact of adopting this pronouncement.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities including an Amendment of SFAS No. 115 (SFAS No. 159), which permits an
entity to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value that are not
currently required to be measured at fair value. Entities that elect the fair value option will
report unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value
option may be elected on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with few exceptions. SFAS No. 159
amends previous guidance to extend the use of the fair value option to available-for-sale and
held-to-maturity securities. The Statement also establishes presentation and disclosure
requirements to help financial statement users understand the effect of the election. SFAS No. 159
is effective as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We are currently assessing
the potential impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)
which replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combination. SFAS No. 141(R) retained the underlying
concepts of SFAS No. 141 in that all business combinations are still required to be accounted for
at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting, but SFAS No. 141(R) changed the method of
applying the acquisition method in a number of significant aspects. For all business combinations,
the entity that acquires the business will record 100 percent of all assets and liabilities of the
acquired business, including goodwill, generally at their fair values. Certain contingent assets
and liabilities acquired will be recognized at their fair values on the acquisition date and
changes in fair value of certain arrangements will be recognized in earnings until settled.
Acquisition-related transactions and restructuring costs will be expensed rather than treated as an
acquisition cost and included in the amount recorded for assets acquired. SFAS No. 141(R) is
effective on a prospective basis for all business combinations for which the acquisition date is on
or after April 1, 2009, with the exception of the accounting for valuation allowances on deferred
taxes and acquired tax contingencies. SFAS No. 141(R) amends SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes, such that adjustments made to valuation allowances on deferred taxes and acquired tax
contingencies associated with acquisitions that close prior to the effective date of SFAS No.
141(R) would also apply the provisions of SFAS No. 141(R). Early adoption is not allowed.
Management is currently assessing the potential impact of this standard on the
41
Companys
consolidated financial statements; however, we do not anticipate the adoption to have a material
impact on previous acquisitions.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51. SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No.
51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish new standards that will govern the accounting
for and
reporting of (1) non-controlling interest in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries and (2) the
loss of control of subsidiaries. Our consolidated subsidiaries are wholly-owned and as such no
minority interests are currently reported in its consolidated financial statements. Other current
ownership interests are reported under the equity method of accounting under investments in
affiliates. SFAS No. 160 is effective for us on a prospective basis on or after April 1, 2009
except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which will be applied retrospectively.
Early adoption is not allowed. Based upon our current portfolio of investments in affiliates, we do
not anticipate that adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of
business from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31,
2007. We are currently unable to determine the impact on our contractual obligations from the
ultimate timing of settlement of the gross liability for uncertain tax positions which was $8.2
million as of December 26, 2007.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
In the normal course of business, Modine is subject to market exposure from changes in foreign
exchange rates, interest rates, credit risk, economic risk and commodity price risk.
43
Foreign Currency Risk Management
Modine is subject to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to its operations
in foreign countries. Modine has manufacturing facilities in Brazil, Mexico, South Korea, China,
South Africa and throughout Europe. It also has equity investments in companies located in France,
Japan, and China. Modine sells and distributes its products throughout the world. As a result,
the Companys financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in
foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets in which the
Company manufactures, distributes and sells it products. The Companys operating results are
principally exposed to changes in exchange rates between the dollar and the European currencies,
primarily the euro, changes between the dollar and the Korean won and changes between the dollar
and the Brazilian real. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates for the Companys foreign
subsidiaries reporting in local currencies are generally reported as a component of shareholders
equity. The Companys favorable currency translation adjustments recorded for the three months
ended December 26, 2007 and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2007 were $26.2 million and $24.9
million, respectively. The Companys favorable currency translation adjustments recorded for the
nine months ended December 26, 2007 were $35.9 million. As of December 26, 2007 and March 31,
2007, the Companys foreign subsidiaries had net current assets (defined as current assets less
current liabilities) subject to foreign currency translation risk of $133.8 million and $73.2
million, respectively. The potential decrease in the net current assets from a hypothetical 10
percent adverse change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates would be approximately $13.4
million and $7.3 million, respectively. This sensitivity analysis assumes a parallel shift in
foreign currency exchange rates. Exchange rates rarely move in the same direction relative to the
dollar. This assumption may overstate the impact of changing exchange rates on individual assets
and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency.
The Company has certain foreign denominated long-term debt obligations that are sensitive to
foreign currency exchange rates. The following table presents the future principal cash flows and
weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. The fair value of long-term debt is
estimated by discounting the future cash flows at rates offered to the Company for similar debt
instruments of comparable maturities. The carrying value of the debt approximates fair value.

The Company has from time to time had certain foreign-denominated long-term inter-company loans
that are sensitive to foreign exchange rates. At December 26, 2007, the Company had a 24.1 billion
won ($25.7 million U.S. equivalent), 8-yr loan to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Korea, LLC,
which matures on August 31, 2012. On April 6, 2005, the Company entered into a zero cost collar to
hedge the foreign exchange exposure on the entire amount of the loan. This collar was settled on
August 29, 2006 for a loss of $1.1 million. On August 29, 2006, the Company entered into a new
zero cost collar that expires on February 29, 2008 to hedge the foreign exchange exposure on the
entire amount of the loan. At December 26, 2007, the Company also had inter-company loans totaling
$20.5 million to its wholly owned subsidiary, Modine Brazil with various maturity dates through
February 2009. On June 21, 2007, the Company entered into a zero cost collar to hedge the foreign
exchange exposure on the principal amount of the loan. This collar expires on March 31, 2008.
44
Interest Rate Risk Management
Modines interest rate risk policies are designed to reduce the potential volatility of earnings
that could arise from changes in interest rates. The Company utilizes a mixture of debt maturities together
with both fixed-rate and floating-rate debt to manage its exposure to interest rate variations
related to its borrowings. The Company has, from time-to-time, entered into interest rate
derivates to manage variability in interest rates. These interest rate derivatives have been
treated as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions and, accordingly, derivative gains or losses
are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are amortized to
interest expense over the respective lives of the borrowings. During the three and nine months
ended December 26, 2007, $0.1 million and $0.3 million of expense, respectively, was recorded in
the consolidated statement of operations related to the amortization of interest rate derivative
losses. At December 26, 2007, $1.8 million of net unrealized losses remain deferred in accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss). The following table presents the future principal cash flows
and weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates (including the foreign denominated
long-term debt obligations included in the previous table). The fair value of long-term debt is
estimated by discounting the future cash flows at rates offered to the Company for similar debt
instruments of comparable maturities. The carrying value of the debt approximates fair value, with
the exception of the $150.0 million fixed rate notes, which have a fair value of approximately
$147.6 million at December 26, 2007.

Credit Risk Management
Credit risk is the possibility of loss from a customers failure to make payments according to
contract terms. The Companys principal credit risk consists of outstanding trade receivables.
Prior to granting credit, each customer is evaluated, taking into consideration the borrowers
financial condition, past payment experience and credit information. After credit is granted, the
Company actively monitors the customers financial condition and developing business news.
Approximately 46.5 percent of the trade receivables balance at December 26, 2007 was concentrated
in the Companys top ten customers. Modines history of incurring credit losses from customers has
not been material, and the Company does not expect that trend to change.
Economic Risk Management
Economic risk is the possibility of loss resulting from economic instability in certain areas of
the world or significant downturns in markets that the Company supplies. A sustained economic
downturn in any of these markets could have a material adverse effect on the future results of
operations and potentially result in the impairment of related assets.
With respect to international instability, the Company continues to monitor economic conditions in
the United States and elsewhere. As Modine expands its global presence, we also encounter risks
imposed by potential trade restrictions, including tariffs, embargoes and the like. We continue to
pursue non-speculative opportunities to mitigate these economic risks, and capitalize, when
possible, on changing market conditions.
The Company pursues new market opportunities after careful consideration of the potential
associated risks and benefits. Successes in new markets are dependent upon the Companys ability
to commercialize
45
its investments. Current examples of new and emerging product markets for Modine include those
related to next generation powertrain cooling and heat transfer technology, exhaust gas
recirculation, CO2, and fuel cell technology. Investment in these areas is subject to
the risks associated with business integration, technological success, customers and market
acceptance, and Modines ability to meet the demands of its customers as these markets emerge.
The upturn in the economy and the continued economic growth in China are putting production
pressure on certain of the Companys suppliers of raw materials. In particular, there are a
limited number of suppliers of steel and aluminum fin stock serving a more robust market. As a
result, some suppliers are allocating product among customers, extending lead times or holding
supply to the prior years level. The Company is exposed to the risk of supply of certain raw
materials not being able to meet customer demand and of increased prices being charged by raw
material suppliers. Historically high commodity pricing, which includes aluminum, copper and
nickel, is making it increasingly difficult to pass along the full amount of these increases to our
customers.
In addition to the purchase of raw materials, the Company purchases parts from suppliers that use
the Companys tooling to create the part. In many instances, the Company does not have duplicate
tooling for the manufacture of its purchased parts. As a result, the Company is exposed to the
risk of a supplier of such parts being unable to provide the quantity or quality of parts that the
Company requires. Even in situations where suppliers are manufacturing parts without the use of
Company tooling, the Company faces the challenge of obtaining high quality parts from suppliers.
In addition to the above risks on the supply side, the Company is also exposed to risks associated
with demands by its customers for decreases in the price of the Companys products. The Company
offsets this risk with firm agreements with its customers whenever possible but these agreements
generally carry annual price down provisions as well.
The Company operates in diversified markets as a strategy for offsetting the risk associated with a
downturn in any one or more of the markets it serves, or a reduction in the Companys participation
in any one or more markets. However, the risks associated with these market downturns and
reductions are still present.
Commodity Price Risk Management
The Company is dependent upon the supply of certain raw materials and supplies in the production
process and has, from time to time, entered into firm purchase commitments for copper, aluminum,
nickel and natural gas. The Company utilizes an aluminum hedging strategy by entering into fixed
price contracts to help offset changing commodity prices. The Company utilizes collars for certain
forecasted copper purchases, and also enters into forward contracts for certain forecasted nickel
purchases. The Company does maintain agreements with certain customers to pass through certain
material price fluctuations in order to mitigate the commodity price risk. The majority of these
agreements contain provisions in which the pass through of the price fluctuations can lag behind
the actual fluctuations by a quarter or longer. Because of the historic highs reached in some
commodities, the Company is dealing with increasing challenges from these customers to abide by
these agreements and pay the full amount of the price increases.
Hedging and Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Company uses derivative financial instruments in a limited way as a tool to manage certain
financial risks. Their use is restricted primarily to hedging assets and obligations already held
by Modine, and they are used to protect cash flows rather than generate income or engage in
speculative activity. Leveraged derivatives are prohibited by Company policy.
Foreign exchange contracts: Modine maintains a foreign exchange risk management strategy that uses
derivative financial instruments in a limited way to mitigate foreign currency exchange risk.
Modine
46
periodically enters into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge specific foreign currency
denominated transactions. Generally, these contracts have terms of 90 or fewer days. The effect
of this practice is to minimize the impact of foreign exchange rate movements on Modines earnings.
Modines foreign currency exchange contracts do not subject it to significant risk due to exchange
rate movements because gains and losses on these contracts offset gains and losses on the assets
and liabilities being hedged.
As of December 26, 2007, the Company had no outstanding forward foreign exchange contracts, with
the exception of the zero cost collars to hedge the foreign exchange exposure on the entire amount
of the Modine Korea, LLC loan and the Modine Brazil loan which are discussed above under the
section entitled Foreign Currency Risk. Non-U.S. dollar financing transactions through
inter-company loans or local borrowings in the corresponding currency generally are effective as
hedges of long-term investments.
The Company has a number of investments in wholly owned foreign subsidiaries and non-consolidated
foreign joint ventures. The net assets of these subsidiaries are exposed to currency exchange rate
volatility. In certain instances, the Company uses non-derivative financial instruments to hedge,
or offset, this exposure.
Commodity derivatives: As further noted above under the section entitled Commodity Price Risk,
the Company utilizes futures contracts related to certain of the Companys forecasted purchases of
aluminum, natural gas, copper and nickel. The Companys strategy in entering into these contracts
is to reduce its exposure to changing purchase prices for future purchases of these commodities.
Through the third quarter of fiscal 2008, all outstanding futures contracts related to forecasted
purchases of aluminum and natural gas have been designated as cash flow hedges by the Company.
Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are deferred as a component of
accumulated other comprehensive income, and recognized as a component of earnings at the same time
that the underlying purchases of aluminum and natural gas impact earnings. During the three and
nine months ended December 26, 2007, $1.5 million and $1.3 million of expense, respectively, was
recorded in the consolidated statement of operations related to the settlement of certain of these
futures contracts. At December 26, 2007, $1.4 million of unrealized losses remain deferred in
accumulated other comprehensive income, and will be realized as a component of cost of sales over
the next twelve months.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation Regarding Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out
an evaluation, at the direction of the General Counsel and under the supervision of the Companys
President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial
Officer, of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as defined in
Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), with the participation of the Companys
management. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Executive
Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of the
Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of December 26, 2007.
Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, there was no change in the Companys internal control over
financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the
Companys internal control over financial reporting.
47
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The following should be read in conjunction with Item 3. Legal Proceedings in Part I. of the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2007 and Item 1. Legal
Proceedings in Part II. of the Companys Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June
26, 2007 and September 26, 2007. Certain information is incorporated by reference herein from Note
19 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. of Part I. of this
report.
Personal Injury Actions
At the conclusion of the third quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company was named as a defendant, along
with Rohm and Haas Company and Morton International, in one personal injury action filed in
Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas (PCCP). This brings the total cases in
the PCCP courts to twenty-three. Twenty-two of these cases have been previously reported in the
Companys periodic reports filed with the SEC, including the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended
March 31, 2007 and its Forms 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 26, 2007 and September 26,
2007. These cases allege personal injury due to exposure to certain solvents that were allegedly
released to groundwater and air for an undetermined period of time. Under similar facts as the PCCP
cases but alleging a federal putative class action, the Company is a defendant, along with Rohm &
Haas Company and Morton International, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania in Gates, et al. v. Rohm and Haas Company, et al., Case No. 06-1743.
Although the Companys management and counsel believe that the facts of the federal case and the
PCCP cases do not support a finding of liability against the Company, the Company believes that it
is in its best interest to settle these cases. The Company agreed to non-binding mediation in
Philadelphia during the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The mediation was successful and resulted in
the settlement of the federal putative class action and the twenty-three individual PCCP cases.
The settlement agreements have been executed in the federal case and all twenty-three PCCP cases.
The ultimate conclusion of these cases, which is subject to good faith findings by the appropriate
courts and performance under the settlement agreements is expected by the end of the second quarter
of fiscal 2009.
The Companys general liability insurers were present and participated in the above-referenced
mediation. The Company has obtained agreements from two of those insurers as to appropriate
coverage. The third general liability insurer, Travelers Indemnity Company (Travelers), filed a
declaratory judgment action against the Company and the two other insurers, Sentry Insurance, a
Mutual Company, and American Motorists Insurance Company, in the Superior Court of Connecticut,
Hartford, Connecticut on December 21, 2007. The Company filed a countervailing action against
Travelers in Wisconsin Circuit Court, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on January 8, 2008. As of the date
hereof, a verbal agreement has been reached with Travelers and, pursuant to this verbal agreement,
the Company expects that a settlement of all issues will result in the dismissal of these cases by
the end of fiscal 2008.
Other litigation
In June 2004, the Servicio de Administracion Tributaria in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, where the Company
operates a plant in its Commercial Products segment, notified the Company of a tax assessment based
primarily on the administrative authoritys belief that the Company (i) imported goods not covered
by the Maquila program and (ii) that it imported goods under a different tariff classification than
the ones approved. The Company filed a Nullity Tax Action with the Federal Tax Court (Tribunal
Federal de Justicia Fiscal y Adminstrativa) in Monterrey, Mexico, and received a favorable ruling
from the Federal Tax Court during the second quarter of fiscal 2008. The ruling of the Federal Tax
Court has been appealed by the Servicio de Administracion Tributaria.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Our business involves risk. The following information about these risks should be considered
carefully together with the other information contained in this report and in conjunction with Part
I. Item 1A.
48
Risk Factors included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March
31, 2007. The risks described below and in the Form 10-K are not the only risks we face.
Additional risks not currently known or deemed immaterial may also result in adverse results for
our business.
If we do not execute on our current business plan, we may violate our bank and note holder
covenants.
We have amended our existing credit agreement and agreements with holders of $150 million of the
Companys debt to enable the Company to continue to remain in compliance with its covenants. The
covenants contained in the amended agreements are based upon reasonable achievement of the
Companys plans for fiscal years 2009 and 2010, in particular. If the strength in our Original
Equipment Europe, South America and Commercial Products segments does not continue, if the
Original Equipment North America or Original Equipment Asia results do not improve, or if the
recently announced restructuring actions are not executed successfully, we could fail to perform in
accordance with our business plan. If this were to occur, the Company could violate its bank and
note holder covenants. If we default under our credit agreement and agreements with the note
holders, either through failing to meet financial covenants or in some other way, and are unable to
reach suitable accommodations with our lenders, our lenders could elect to stop making the advances
we need to fund daily operations and could declare all the debt we owe them immediately due and
payable.
Events beyond our control may impair our operations and financial condition.
As of December 26, 2007, our total consolidated debt was $245 million. This debt level could have
important consequences, including increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and
industry conditions; requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to be used
for the payment of interest rather than to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions
and general corporate requirements; limiting our ability to obtain additional financing; and
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the
industries in which we operate.
The agreements governing our debt include covenants that restrict, among other things, our ability
to incur additional debt; pay dividends on or repurchase our equity; make investments; and
consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets. Our ability to comply with
these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic,
financial and industry conditions. These covenants may also require that we take action to reduce
our debt or to act in a manner contrary to our short-term or long-term business objectives. There
can be no assurance that we will meet our covenants in the future or that the lenders will waive a
failure to meet those tests.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
In compliance with Item 703 of Regulation S-K, the Company provides the following summary of its
purchases of common stock during its third quarter of fiscal 2008.

Consists of shares delivered back to the Company by employees and/or directors to satisfy tax
withholding obligations upon the vesting of stock awards. The Company, pursuant to its equity
compensation plans, gives participants the opportunity to turn back to the Company the number
of shares from the award sufficient to satisfy the persons tax withholding obligations that
arise upon the termination of restrictions. These shares are held as treasury shares. |
(2) |
|
The stated price does not include any commission paid. |
(3) |
|
Consists of purchases made pursuant to the anti-dilution portion of the share repurchase
program announced on May 18, 2005, under which the Company has continuing authority to
buy-back such additional number of shares as is deemed necessary to offset dilution from
Modines incentive stock plans. |
(4) |
|
There are no shares remaining that may be repurchased under the two publicly announced share
repurchase programs, described in Note 18 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements in Item 1. of Part I. of this report, which description is incorporated herein by
reference, other than pursuant to the indefinite buy-back authority under the anti-dilution
portion of the first program referenced in Note 3 of this table. The Company does not know at
this time the number of shares that may be purchased under this portion of the program. In
addition, the Company cannot determine the number of shares that will be turned back to the
Company by holders of restricted stock awards or by the directors upon award of unrestricted
shares. The participants also have the option of paying the tax-withholding obligation
described above by cash or check, or by selling shares on the open market. The number of
shares subject to outstanding restricted stock awards is 248,247, with a value of $4,304,603
at December 26, 2007. Generally, the tax withholding obligation on such shares is up to
approximately 40 percent of the value of the shares when they vest. The restrictions
applicable to the stock awards generally lapse 20 percent per year over five years for stock
awards granted prior to April 1, 2005 and generally lapse 25 percent per year over four years
for stock awards granted after April 1, 2005; provided, however, that certain stock awards
vest immediately upon grant. |
