The vehicular industry continues to be an area

of great growth and expansion, but also a great
challenge for our business. Global changes to
emissions standards are driving strong demand for
more sustainable thermal management solutions
and the ongoing push towards electrification is
presenting abundant opportunities for innovation.
In the last year, we’ve invested in building our
business in key markets of opportunity to ensure
Modine is best positioned for the future to respond
to the ever-evolving needs of our customers.
M O V I N G M A R K E T S
The automotive market has always felt like home
to Modine. With some relationships spanning
Around the world, Modine continues to build and
solidify its presence. For example, in China, Modine
saw 35 percent top-line growth across our three
key end markets. While Modine has long standing

corporations who have a presence in China, we have
also realized significant growth with local customers
in this region. This movement towards stronger,
local relationships has strengthened our presence
in Asia and was a factor in the need to expand our
factories in both China and India, so we can more
effectively meet the growing demand for vehicular
thermal management solutions in this region.
more than 100 years, we feel a certain kinship
M O V I N G W I T H C U S T O M E R D E M A N D
to our partners in this market. As a business,
we continue to see growth in this space, with a
3 percent increase in sales to the automotive
market this past year. We are a leader in engine
cooling products, leading to multiple development
opportunities on electric vehicles. However, current
market dynamics indicate that the value of this
business may be maximized through another owner.
These factors are causing us to evaluate our future
in this market.
Part of this evaluation will take into account
our strategic vision for the future. As we move
towards becoming a diversified global industrial
thermal management company, and we consider
our Vehicular Thermal Solutions (VTS) business,
we see strong synergies with our commercial
vehicle and off-highway customers who operate
in ways similar to companies in other industrial
markets. For this reason, in the coming year, we
expect to see a shift in our focus. We will reallocate
resources within VTS to put a stronger emphasis
on solutions for our commercial vehicle and off-
highway customers around the world. Our sales
and operational alignment with these two markets
will enable Modine to better capitalize on our
investments, aggressively pursue opportunities
for growth, and ultimately drive stronger returns
for our shareholders.
Changes to emission standards are causing
our customers to rely on us more than ever for
innovative thermal management solutions. As
recognized leaders, our European customers have
already begun to engage us in the next generation
of technology to prepare them for the expected
release of the Euro 7 Emissions Standards.
Meanwhile, Asia is catching up with global
emissions standards through the implementation
of the China 6 Emission Standards and Bharat Stage
6 Emission Standards. Our reputation for advanced
thermal management solutions, paired with our
strong customer relationships, are enabling us
to win new business in these regions.
The electrification of vehicles is also presenting
our business with exciting new challenges and
opportunities. We are particularly optimistic
about opportunities we are pursuing in both our
commercial vehicle and off-highway markets. There
is an increasing demand for thermal management
solutions to support the development of electric
buses, trucks, and various off-highway vehicles.
As a company, we remain committed to innovation
and are well positioned to remain a valued partner
to our customers as the global movement towards
electrification continues to build.

PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Modine Manufacturing Company specializes in providing innovative thermal management solutions to diversified global
markets and customers. We are a leading provider of engineered heat transfer systems and high-quality heat transfer
components for use in on- and off-highway original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) vehicular applications. In
addition, we are a global leader in thermal management technology and solutions for sale into a wide array of
commercial, industrial, and building heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration (“HVAC&R”) markets. Our
primary product groups include i) powertrain cooling and engine cooling; ii) coils, coolers, and coatings; and iii) heating,
ventilation and air conditioning. Our primary customers across the globe include:
Automobile, truck, bus, and specialty vehicle OEMs;
Agricultural, industrial and construction equipment OEMs;
Commercial and industrial equipment OEMs;
Heating, ventilation and cooling OEMs;
Construction architects and contractors; and
Wholesalers of heating equipment.
We focus our development efforts on solutions that meet the ever-increasing heat transfer needs of OEMs and other
customers within the automobile, commercial vehicle, construction, agricultural, industrial and HVAC&R industries.
Our products and systems are aimed at solving complex heat transfer challenges requiring effective thermal
management. Typical customer and market demands include products and systems that are lighter weight, more
compact, more efficient and more durable to meet customer standards as they work to ensure compliance with
increasingly stringent global emissions, fuel economy and energy efficiency requirements. Our heritage provides a depth
and breadth of expertise in thermal management, which, when combined with our global manufacturing presence,
standardized processes, and state-of-the-art technical resources, enables us to rapidly bring highly-valued, customized
solutions to our customers.
History
Modine was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wisconsin on June 23, 1916 by its founder, Arthur B. Modine.
Mr. Modine’s “Turbotube” radiators became standard equipment on the famous Ford Motor Company Model T. When
he died at the age of 95, A.B. Modine had personally been granted more than 120 U.S. patents for his heat transfer
innovations. The standard of innovation exemplified by A.B. Modine remains the cornerstone of Modine today.
Terms and Year References
When we use the terms “Modine,” “we,” “us,” the “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 a particular year mean the fiscal year ended March 31 of that year, unless indicated otherwise.
Business Strategy and Results
Modine pursues market leadership by being a customer-focused, global company delivering exceptional quality,
innovation and value. We will grow our core business of thermal management with superior technical solutions in
systems, products and services – coupled with a cost competitive structure.
During fiscal 2019, we continued to employ our Strengthen, Diversify and Grow (“SDG”) strategy in order to transform
Modine into a more diversified industrial thermal-management company. We launched our SDG strategy over three
years ago to establish a more global, product-based organizational structure and a strategic framework for our company.
Both our Commercial and Industrial Solutions (“CIS”) and Building HVAC Systems (“BHVAC”) segments experienced
significant sales and earnings growth this year, which we directly attribute to our SDG initiatives to further diversify and
grow these higher margin business segments. In addition, in January 2019, we announced our strategic review of
alternatives for our automotive business within our Vehicular Thermal Solutions (“VTS”) segment. Since this
announcement, we have made significant progress in our evaluation and, while we are continuing to explore various
alternatives, we currently believe that a sale of the automotive business is the most likely path forward to optimize the
VTS segment’s profitability and reprioritize capital investments across all of our businesses. We believe our SDG
1

strategy will continue to keep us grounded, thriving, and transforming to optimize the value we offer our customers and
to provide the highest returns for our shareholders.
Our top five customers are in four different markets – automotive, commercial vehicle, off-highway, and data center
cooling – and our ten largest customers accounted for 50 percent of our fiscal 2019 sales. In fiscal 2019, 58 percent of
our total sales were generated from customers outside of the U.S., with 52 percent of total sales generated by foreign
operations and 6 percent generated by exports from the U.S. In fiscal 2018, 61 percent of our total sales were generated
from customers outside of the U.S., with 56 percent of total sales generated by foreign operations and 5 percent
generated by exports from the U.S. In fiscal 2017, 62 percent of our total sales were generated from customers outside
of the U.S., with 55 percent of total sales generated by foreign operations and 7 percent generated by exports from the
U.S.
During fiscal 2019, our consolidated net sales were $2.21 billion, a 5 percent increase from $2.10 billion in fiscal 2018.
This increase was primarily due to higher sales in each of our operating segments. Our operating income of $110 million
in fiscal 2019 increased $18 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to higher earnings in the CIS and
BHVAC segments, partially offset by lower earnings in the VTS segment.
In continued support of our SDG initiatives and in an effort to optimize our cost structure and improve the efficiency of
our operations, we have engaged in various restructuring activities. As a result, we recorded $10 million of restructuring
expenses during fiscal 2019, primarily related to severance expenses resulting from targeted headcount reductions in
Europe and the Americas within the VTS segment.

We compete with many manufacturers of heat transfer and HVAC&R products, some of which are divisions of larger
companies. The markets for our products continue to be very dynamic. Our traditional OEM customers are faced with
dramatically increased international competition and have expanded their global manufacturing footprints to compete in
local markets. In addition, consolidation within the supply base and vertical integration has introduced new or
restructured competitors to our markets. Some of these market changes have caused us to experience competition from
suppliers in other parts of the world that enjoy economic advantages such as lower labor costs, lower healthcare costs,
and lower tax rates. As a result, we have expanded and continue to expand our geographic footprint, in part to provide
more flexibility to serve our customers around the globe. Many of our customers also continue to ask us, as well as their
other primary suppliers, to provide research and development (“R&D”), design, and validation support for new potential
projects. This combined work effort often results in stronger customer relationships and more partnership opportunities
for us.
Business Segments
Each of our operating segments is managed by a vice president and has separate financial results reviewed by our chief
operating decision maker. These results are used by management in evaluating the performance of each business
segment and in making decisions on the allocation of resources amongst our various businesses. Effective April 1, 2018,
we formed the VTS segment by combining our Americas, Europe, and Asia operations to enable us to operate as a more
global, product-based organization. We also merged our Americas coils business into the CIS segment to accelerate
operational improvements and organizational efficiencies.

Our non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates manufacture and sell a number of vehicular and commercial, industrial and
building HVAC&R products similar to those produced in the U.S.
Exports
Export sales from the U.S. to foreign countries, as a percentage of consolidated net sales, were 6 percent, 5 percent and 7
percent in fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
We believe our international presence positions us to share profitably in the anticipated long-term growth of the global
vehicular and commercial, industrial and building HVAC&R markets. We are committed to increasing our involvement
and investment in international markets in the years ahead.
Customer Dependence
Our ten largest customers, certain of which are conglomerates or otherwise affiliated, accounted for 50 percent of our
consolidated net sales in fiscal 2019. In fiscal 2019, 2018, 2017, Daimler AG and Volkswagen AG each accounted for
10 percent or more of our sales.
Our top customers operate primarily in the automotive, commercial vehicle, off-highway, data center cooling and
commercial air conditioning markets. Our top customers, listed alphabetically, include: Carrier, Caterpillar; Daimler AG
(including Daimler Trucks, Detroit Diesel, Mercedes-Benz, and Western Star Trucks); Deere & Company; FCA N.V.
(including Chrysler, CNH, Fiat, Iveco, and VM Motori); Ingersoll Rand Inc. (Trane); Navistar (including MWM
International); Volkswagen AG (including Audi, MAN, Porsche, and Scania); and AB Volvo (including Mack Trucks
and Renault Trucks). In addition, our CIS segment includes significant sales generated from a single global technology
customer (14 percent of CIS segment sales in fiscal 2019) with which we are party to confidentiality agreements.
Generally, we supply products to our customers on the basis of individual purchase orders received from them. When it
is in the mutual interest of Modine and our customers, we utilize long-term sales agreements to minimize investment
risks and provide the customer with a proven source of competitively-priced products. These contracts are typically
three to five years in duration.
Backlog of Orders
Our operating segments maintain their own inventories and production schedules. We believe that our current
production capacity is capable of handling the sales volume expected in fiscal 2020 and beyond.
Raw Materials
We purchase aluminum, nickel and steel from several domestic and foreign suppliers. In general, we do not rely on any
one supplier for these materials, which are, for the most part, available from numerous sources in quantities required by
us. The supply of copper and brass material is concentrated between two global suppliers, with other suppliers qualified
6
6
and supplying lesser amounts to mitigate risk. We typically do not experience raw material shortages and believe that
our suppliers’ production of these metals will be adequate throughout the next fiscal year. We typically adjust metals
pricing with our raw material suppliers on a monthly basis and our major fabricated component suppliers on a quarterly
basis. When possible, we have included provisions within our long-term customer contracts which allow us to adjust
customer prices, on a prospective basis, based upon increases and decreases in the cost of key raw materials. When
applicable, however, these contract provisions are typically limited to the underlying cost of the material based upon the
London Metal Exchange, and do not include related premiums or fabrication costs. In addition, there can often be a
three-month to one-year lag until the time that we adjust the price with our customer.
Patents
We own or license numerous patents related to our products and operations. These patents and licenses have been
obtained over a period of years and expire at various times. Because we have many product lines, we believe that our
business as a whole is not materially dependent upon any particular patent or license, or any particular group of patents
or licenses. We consider each of our patents, trademarks and licenses to be of value and aggressively defend our rights
throughout the world against infringement. We have been granted and/or acquired more than 2,500 patents worldwide
over the life of our company.
Research and Development
We remain committed to our vision of creating value through technology and innovation. We focus our engineering and
R&D efforts on solutions that meet challenging heat transfer needs of OEMs and other customers within the automotive,
powersports, commercial vehicle, construction, agricultural, and commercial, industrial, and building HVAC&R
markets. Our products and systems are often aimed at solving difficult and complex heat transfer challenges requiring
advanced thermal management. Typical market demands are for products and systems that are lighter weight, more
compact, more efficient and more durable to meet customer standards as customers work to ensure compliance with
increasingly stringent global emissions and energy efficiency requirements. Our heritage includes a depth and breadth of
expertise in thermal management that, combined with our global manufacturing presence, standardized processes, and
state-of-the-art technical resources, enables us to rapidly bring customized solutions to our customers.
R&D expenditures, including certain application engineering costs for specific customer solutions, totaled $70 million,
$66 million, and $64 million in fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. Over the last three years, R&D expenditures
have been between 3 and 5 percent of our consolidated net sales. This level of investment reflects our continued
commitment to R&D in an ever-changing marketplace. To achieve efficiencies and lower development costs, our R&D
groups work closely with our customers on special projects and system designs. Projects include EGR technology, oil
coolers, charge air coolers, refrigerant heat exchangers, and battery thermal management systems for the automotive,
commercial vehicle, agriculture, construction, and residential and commercial energy storage markets, which enable our
customers to meet more stringent emission and energy efficiency standards. Most of our current R&D activities are
focused on internal development in the areas of powertrain cooling, engine cooling, building HVAC, and commercial
and industrial thermal management products. We also collaborate with several industry, university, and government-
sponsored research organizations that conduct research and provide data on practical applications in the markets we
serve. We continue to identify, evaluate and engage in external research projects that complement our strategic internal
research initiatives in order to further leverage our significant thermal technology expertise and capabilities.
Quality Improvement
Globally, we drive quality improvement by maintaining the Global Modine Management System, applying the Modine
Operating System, and executing the Modine Quality Strategy.
Through our integrated and process-oriented Global Modine Management System, the majority of our manufacturing
facilities and administrative offices are registered to ISO 9001:20015 or IATF 16949:2016 standards, helping to ensure
that our customers receive high quality products and services. While customer expectations for performance, quality and
service continue to rise, our Global Modine Management System has allowed us to drive improvements in quality
performance and has enabled the ongoing delivery of products, service and value that meet or exceed customer
expectations.
Our Global Modine Management System operates within the context of our Modine Operating System, which focuses on
well-defined improvement principles and leadership behaviors to engage our teams in facilitating rapid improvements.
7
7
We drive sustainable and systematic continuous improvement throughout our company by utilizing the principles,
processes and behaviors that are core to these systems.
To ensure future quality, we established the Modine Quality Strategy, which focuses on people, process, performance,
tools and methods and the Global Modine Management System.
Environmental, Health and Safety Matters
We are committed to preventing pollution, eliminating waste and reducing environmental risks and we have established
specific environmental improvement targets and objectives for fiscal 2020. The majority of our facilities maintain
Environmental Management System (“EMS”) certification to the international ISO14001 standard through independent
third-party audits.
During fiscal 2018, we launched a global initiative to reduce both our energy and water usage by 5 percent by fiscal
2020. Each of our facilities around the world is actively engaged in support of this initiative, and we are currently on
pace to meet our energy and water usage goals in fiscal 2020. Examples of steps being taken to meet these goals include
the installation of more efficient LED lighting systems, the replacement of inefficient boilers and air compressors,
improved building HVAC management systems, increased industrial water recycling, and the installation of water-
saving faucets.
Our product portfolio reflects our sense of environmental responsibility. We continue to develop and refine
environmentally-friendly product lines, including oil, fuel, and EGR coolers for gas and diesel applications, light-weight
and high-performance powertrain cooling heat exchangers for both combustion and electric vehicle, air cooled
refrigerant and liquid heat exchangers used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications, and our advanced
cooling system technology. These products provide increased fuel economies, enable combustion technologies that
reduce harmful gas emissions for vehicles, and provide energy efficient solutions for building and stationary
applications. In our CIS segment, we are moving towards smaller diameter tubing across many of our product lines,
which has not only made our products more energy efficient, but has enabled our customers to use less refrigerants in
order to reduce their global warming potential. Our BHVAC segment offerings include the EffinityTM, a condensing
gas-fired unit heater with industry-leading efficiencies; the AtherionTM Commercial Packaged Ventilation System; the
Airedale SchoolMate® with a water source heat pump; and the Airedale Chiller product line-up, ecodesign compliant
with European standards. These products are helping commercial, industrial and residential users achieve high energy
efficiencies and reduce utility costs.
Obligations for remedial activities may arise at our facilities due to past practices, or as a result of a property purchase or
sale. These expenditures most often relate to sites where past operations followed practices that were considered
acceptable under then-existing regulations, but now require investigative and/or remedial work to ensure appropriate
environmental protection or where we are a successor to the obligations of prior owners and current laws and regulations
require investigative and/or remedial work to ensure sufficient environmental compliance. Environmental liabilities for
investigative work and remediation at sites in the U.S. and abroad totaled $19 million at March 31, 2019.
We have consistently out-performed the private-industry Recordable Incident Rate (“RIR” as defined by OSHA) average
for the manufacturing sector, which was 3.5 in 2017. During fiscal 2019, we recorded an RIR of 1.29, which was lower
than our prior year rate of 1.42. Since our acquisition of the Luvata HTS business in fiscal 2017, we have been
implementing our behavior-based safety program at CIS segment locations. We believe our safety program, now in
place at all CIS segment locations, has contributed to the decrease in the RIR in fiscal 2019. Our behavior-based safety
program proactively seeks to correct at-risk behaviors while positively reinforcing safe behaviors. Our focus on
behavior-based safety and process stream safety are part of our long-term commitment to strengthen our safety culture.
Employees
We employed approximately 12,200 persons worldwide as of March 31, 2019.
Seasonal Nature of Business
Our overall operating performance is generally not subject to a significant degree of seasonality, as sales to OEM
customers are dependent upon market demand for new vehicles. However, our second fiscal quarter production
schedules are typically impacted by customer summer shut downs and our third fiscal quarter is affected by holiday
8
8
schedules. Additionally, our CIS and BHVAC segments experience some seasonality, as demand for HVAC&R
products can be affected by heating and cooling seasons, weather patterns, construction, and other factors. We expect
sales volume within our CIS segment to be higher during our first two fiscal quarters due to the construction seasons in
the northern hemisphere. Sales volume within the BHVAC segment is generally stronger in our second and third fiscal
quarters, corresponding with demand for heating products.
Working Capital
We manufacture products for the majority of customers in our VTS and CIS segments on an as-ordered basis, which
makes large inventories of finished products unnecessary. In Brazil, within our VTS segment, we maintain aftermarket
product inventory in order to timely meet customer needs in the Brazilian automotive and commercial vehicle
aftermarkets. In our BHVAC segment, we maintain varying levels of finished goods inventory due to seasonal demand
and certain sales programs. We have not experienced a significant number of returned products within any of our
operating segments.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In the ordinary course of our business, we face various market, operational, strategic, and financial risks. These risks
could have an impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Our most significant risks are set
forth below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our Enterprise Risk Management process seeks to identify and address significant risks. We believe that risk-taking is
an inherent aspect of operating a global business and, in particular, one focused on growth and cost-competitiveness.
Our goal is to proactively manage risks in a structured approach in conjunction with strategic planning, with the intent
to preserve and enhance shareowner value. However, the risks set forth below and elsewhere in this report, as well as
other risks currently unknown or deemed immaterial at the date of this report, could adversely affect us and cause our
financial results to vary materially from recent or anticipated future results.

A. MARKET RISKS
Customer and Supplier Matters
Our vehicular customers continually seek price reductions from us. These price reductions adversely affect our
results of operations.
We face continuous price-reduction pressure from our vehicular OEM customers. Virtually all of these OEMs impose
aggressive price-reduction initiatives upon their suppliers, even if contrary to contractual terms, and we expect such
actions to continue in the future. In response, we must continually reduce our operating costs in order to maintain profit
margins that are acceptable to us. We have taken, and will continue to take, steps to reduce our operating costs to offset
customer price reductions; however, price reductions adversely affect our profit margins and are expected to do so in the
future. In addition, we must balance our ongoing need to reduce operating costs against any potential compromise in the
high quality of our products and our ability to provide the highest standard of service to our customers. If we are unable
to avoid price reductions for our customers, or if we are unable to offset price reductions through improved operating
efficiencies and manufacturing processes, sourcing alternatives, technology enhancements and other cost reduction
initiatives, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
Fluctuations in costs of materials (including aluminum, copper, steel and stainless steel (nickel), other raw materials,
purchased component inventory and energy) could place significant pressure on our results of operations.
Increases in the costs of raw materials and other purchased component inventory, which may be impacted by a variety of
factors, including changes in trade laws and tariffs, could have a significant adverse effect on our results of operations.
We have sought to alleviate this risk by including provisions within our long-term customer contracts which allow us to
adjust customer prices, on a prospective basis, based upon increases and decreases in the cost of key raw materials.
However, where these contract provisions are applicable, there can often be a three-month to one-year lag until the time
of the price adjustment. To further mitigate our exposure, from time to time we enter into forward contracts to hedge a
portion of our forecasted aluminum and copper purchases. However, these hedges may only partially offset increases in
material costs, and significant increases could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
We could be adversely affected if we experience shortages of components or materials from our suppliers.
In an effort to manage and reduce our cost of purchased goods and services, we, like many suppliers and customers, have
been consolidating our supply base. As a result, we are dependent upon limited sources of supply for certain
components used in the manufacture of our products. We select our suppliers based upon total value (including price,
delivery and quality), taking into consideration their production capacities, financial condition and willingness and
ability to meet our demand. In some cases, it can take several months or longer to find a supplier due to qualification
requirements. However, strong demand, the potential effects of trade laws and tariffs, capacity constraints, financial
instability, or other circumstances experienced by our suppliers could result in shortages or delays in their supply of
product to us, or a significant price increase resulting in our need to resource. If we were to experience a significant or
prolonged shortage of critical components or materials from any of our suppliers and could not procure the components
or materials from other sources, we would be unable to meet our production schedules and we would miss product
delivery dates, which would adversely affect our sales, results of operations and customer relationships.
Our net sales and profitability could be adversely affected from business losses or declines with major customers.
Deterioration of a business relationship with a major customer could cause our sales and profitability to suffer.
Generally speaking, this risk is highest in our vehicular business segments, where a large portion of sales are attributable
to a relatively small number of customers. We principally compete for new vehicular business both during the initial
development of new models and upon the redesign of existing models by our major customers. New model development
generally begins two to five years prior to marketing such models to the public. The failure to obtain new business on
new models or to retain or increase business on redesigned existing models could adversely affect our business and
financial results. In addition, as a result of the relatively long lead times required for many of our complex vehicular
components, it may be difficult in the short term for us to obtain new sales to replace any unexpected decline in sales of
existing products. We may incur significant expense in preparing to meet anticipated customer requirements that may
not be recovered. The loss of a major customer, the loss of business with respect to one or more of the vehicle models
10
10
that use our vehicular products, or a significant decline in the production levels of such vehicles could have an adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Our CIS segment includes significant sales generated from a single global technology customer (14 percent of CIS
segment sales) with which we are party to confidentiality agreements. Sales to this customer have historically fluctuated
significantly from one quarter or fiscal year to the next. While we expect to be able to manage troughs and take
advantage of peaks in these sales levels, to the extent we are unable to predict and mitigate lower sales levels or respond
in a timely fashion to higher sales levels, the results of operations for the CIS segment could be adversely affected.
We are dependent upon the health of the customers and markets we serve.
We are highly susceptible to unfavorable trends in the markets we serve as our customers’ sales and production levels
are affected by general economic conditions, including access to credit, the price of fuel and electricity, employment
levels and trends, interest rates, labor relations issues, regulatory requirements, trade agreements and other market
factors, as well as by customer-specific issues. Any significant decline in production levels for current and future
customers could result in asset impairment charges and a reduction in our sales, thereby adversely impacting our results
of operations and financial condition.
Continual customer pressure to absorb costs adversely affects our profitability.
Customers often request that we pay for design, engineering and tooling costs that are incurred prior to the start of
production and recover these costs through amortization in the piece price of the product. Some of these costs cannot be
capitalized, which adversely affects our profitability until the programs for which they have been incurred are launched.
If a given program is not launched, or is launched with significantly lower volumes than planned, we may not be able to
recover the design, engineering and tooling costs from our customers, further adversely affecting our results of
operations.
Competitive Environment
We face strong competition.
The competitive environment continues to be dynamic as many of our customers, faced with intense international
competition, have expanded their sourcing of components. As a result, we experience competition from suppliers in
other parts of the world that enjoy economic advantages, such as lower labor costs, lower health care costs, lower tax
rates, lower costs associated with legal compliance, and, in some cases, export or raw materials subsidies. In addition,
consolidation and vertical integration within the supply base have introduced new or restructured competitors to our
markets. Increased competition could adversely affect our business and our results of operations.
Exposure to Foreign Currencies
As a global company, we are subject to foreign currency rate fluctuations, which affect our financial results.
Although our financial results are reported in U.S. dollars, a significant portion of our sales and operating costs are
realized in foreign currencies. Our sales and profitability are affected by movements of the U.S. dollar against foreign
currencies in which we generate sales and incur expenses. To the extent that we are unable to match sales in foreign
currencies with costs paid in the same currency, exchange rate fluctuations in any such currency could have an adverse
effect on our financial results. During times of a strengthening U.S. dollar, our reported sales and earnings from our
international operations will be lower because the applicable local currency will be translated into fewer U.S. dollars. In
certain instances, currency rate fluctuations may create pricing pressure relative to competitors quoting in different
currencies, which could result in our products becoming less competitive. Significant long-term fluctuations in relative
currency values could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

B. OPERATIONAL RISKS
Challenges of Maintaining a Competitive Cost Structure
We may be unable to maintain competitive cost structures within our business.
We have engaged in various restructuring activities in our VTS, CIS and BHVAC segments in order to optimize our
manufacturing footprint and cost structure. These restructuring activities have included targeted headcount reductions
that support our objective of reducing operational and SG&A cost structures and the consolidation and/or closure of
manufacturing facilities in North America and Europe. In addition, we continue to focus on reducing costs for materials
and services through targeted adjustments and negotiations with our supply base. Our successful execution of these
initiatives, and our ability to identify and execute future opportunities to optimize our cost structures, is critical to enable
us to establish a cost environment that will increase and sustain our long-term competitiveness. Any failure to do so
could, in turn, adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Challenges of Program Launches
We continue to launch a significant number of new programs at our facilities across the world. The success of these
launches is critical to our business.
We design technologically advanced products, and the processes required to produce these products can be difficult and
complex. We commit significant time and financial resources to ensure the successful launch of new products and
programs. Due to our high level of launch activity, particularly within our VTS segment, we must appropriately manage
these launches and deploy our operational and administrative resources to take advantage of the resulting increase in our
business. If we do not successfully launch new products and programs, we may lose market share or damage
relationships with our customers, which could negatively affect our business. In addition, any failure in our
manufacturing strategy for these new products or programs could result in operating inefficiencies or asset impairment
charges.
Complexities of Global Presence
We are subject to risks related to our international operations.
We have manufacturing and technical facilities located in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. In fiscal
2019, 53 percent of our sales were generated from non-U.S. operations. Consequently, our global operations are subject
to complex international laws and regulations and numerous risks and uncertainties, including changes in monetary and
fiscal policies, including those related to tax and trade, cross-border trade restrictions or prohibitions, import or other
charges or taxes, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange and interest rates, changing economic conditions, unreliable
intellectual property protection and legal systems, insufficient infrastructures, social unrest, political instability and
disputes (including, for example, the uncertainty related to the proposed withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the
European Union, commonly referred to as “Brexit”), incompatible business practices, and international terrorism.
Changes in policies or laws governing the terms of foreign trade, and in particular increased trade restrictions, tariffs or
taxes on imports from countries where we either manufacture products, such as Mexico, or buy raw materials, such as
China, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. In addition, compliance with multiple and often
conflicting laws and regulations of various countries is burdensome and expensive.
Embargoes or sanctions imposed by the U.S. government or those abroad that restrict or prohibit sales to or purchases
from specific persons or countries or based upon product classification may expose us to potential criminal and civil
sanctions to the extent that we are alleged or found to be in violation, whether intentional or unintentional. We cannot
predict future regulatory requirements to which our business operations may be subject or the manner in which existing
laws might be administered or interpreted.
In addition, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act and other similar anti-corruption laws
generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making payments to improperly influence foreign
government officials or other persons for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. In recent years, there has been a
substantial increase in the global enforcement of anti-corruption laws. In the event that we believe our employees or
12
12
agents may have violated applicable anti-corruption laws, or if we are subject to allegations of any such violations, we
may have to expend significant time and financial resources towards the investigation and remediation of the matter,
which could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations
and reputation.
Reliance upon Technology Advantage
If we cannot differentiate ourselves from our competitors with our technology, our existing and potential customers
may seek lower prices and our sales and earnings may be adversely affected.
Price, quality, delivery, technological innovation, and application engineering development are the primary elements of
competition in our markets. If we fail to keep pace with technological changes and cannot differentiate ourselves from
our competitors with our technology or fail to provide high quality, innovative products and services that both meet or
exceed customer expectations and address their ever-evolving needs, we may experience price erosion, lower sales, and
lower profit margins. Significant technological developments by our competitors or others also could adversely affect
our business and results of operations.
Developments or assertions by or against us relating to intellectual property rights could adversely affect our
business.
We own significant intellectual property, including a large number of patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets.
Our intellectual property plays an important role in maintaining our competitive position in a number of the markets we
serve. As we expand our operations in jurisdictions where the enforcement of intellectual property rights is less robust,
the risk of others duplicating our proprietary technologies increases, despite our efforts to protect them. Developments
or assertions by or against us relating to intellectual property rights could adversely affect our business and results of
operations.
Information Technology (IT) Systems
We may be adversely affected by any substantial disruption in, or material breach of, our IT systems.
We are dependent upon our IT infrastructure, including network, hardware, and software systems, to conduct our
business. Despite network and other cybersecurity measures we have in place, our IT systems could be disrupted or we
could experience a security breach from computer viruses, break-ins or similar disruptions. A substantial disruption in
our IT systems for a prolonged time period, or a material breach of our IT systems, could result in delays in receiving
inventory and supplies or filling customer orders, and/or the release of otherwise confidential information, including
personal information that is protected by the General Data Protection Regulation, adversely affecting our customer
service and relationships as well as our reputation, and could lead to significant remediation expenses and litigation risks.
Our systems, and the systems of our service providers or others, could be breached, damaged or interrupted by cyber-
attacks or other man-made intentional or unintentional events, or by natural disasters or occurrences, many of which
may, despite our best efforts, be beyond our ability to effectively detect, anticipate or control. Any such events and the
related delays, problems or costs could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of
operations and reputation.
Environmental, Health and Safety Regulations
We could be adversely impacted by the costs of environmental, health and safety regulations.
Our operations are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations governing, among other
things, emissions to air, discharge to waters and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal
of waste and other materials. The operation of our manufacturing facilities entails risks in these areas and there can be
no assurance we will avoid material costs or liabilities relating to such matters. Our financial responsibility to clean up
contaminated property may extend to previously-owned or used property, properties owned by unrelated companies, as
well as properties we currently own and use, regardless of whether the contamination is attributable to prior owners. In
addition, potentially significant expenditures could be required in order to comply with evolving environmental, health
and safety laws, regulations or other requirements that may be adopted or imposed in the future.
13
13
Claims and Litigation
We may incur material losses and costs as a result of warranty and product liability claims and litigation or other
legal proceedings.
In the event our products fail to perform as expected, we are exposed to warranty and product liability claims and may be
required to participate in a recall or other field campaign of such products. Many of our vehicular customers offer
extended warranty protection for their vehicles and put pressure on their supply base to extend warranty coverage as
well. If our customers demand higher warranty-related cost recoveries, or if our products fail to perform as expected, it
could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. We are also involved in
various legal proceedings from time to time incidental to our business. If any such proceeding has a negative result, it
could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Attracting and Retaining Talent
Our continued success is dependent on being able to attract, develop and retain qualified personnel.
Our ability to sustain and grow our business requires us to hire, develop, and retain skilled and diverse personnel in
managerial, leadership and administrative functions. We depend significantly on the engagement of our employees and
their skills, experience and industry knowledge to support our objectives and initiatives. Difficulty attracting,
developing, and retaining qualified personnel, particularly in light of tightening global labor markets, could adversely
affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
C. STRATEGIC RISKS
Strategic Business Evaluation
The optimization of our VTS segment’s future profitability depends, in part, upon the success of our evaluation of
strategic alternatives for our automotive business.
As previously disclosed, we are evaluating strategic alternatives for our automotive business within our VTS segment.
The goal of this evaluation is to identify the most successful path forward for the automotive business to optimize the
value we offer customers and also provide the highest return for our shareholders. We currently believe a sale of the
automotive business is the most likely path forward. There can be no assurance that the evaluation of any strategic
alternative, including the potential sale of or continued investment in our automotive business, will result in a
consummated transaction or the consummation of another alternative. If our evaluation process does not result in the
successful consummation of a strategic alternative, or if we are otherwise unable through such consummation to realize
our goal for the automotive business, we may not be able to optimize the profitability of our VTS segment, which could
adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Growth Strategies
Inability to identify and execute on growth opportunities may adversely impact our business and operating results.
We expect to continue to pursue acquisitions in “industrial” markets. There can be no assurance we will be able to
identify attractive acquisition targets and/or organic growth opportunities. If we are unable to successfully complete
such transactions and execute on organic opportunities in the future, our growth may be limited. In addition, future
acquisitions will require integration of operations, sales and marketing, information technology, finance, and
administrative functions. If we are unable to successfully integrate acquisitions and operate these businesses profitably,
we may not achieve the financial or operational success expected from the acquisitions.
14
14
D. FINANCIAL RISKS
Liquidity and Access to Cash
Our indebtedness may limit our use of cash flow to support operating, development and investment activities, and
failure to comply with our debt covenants could adversely affect our liquidity and financial results.
As of March 31, 2019, we had total outstanding indebtedness of $450 million. Our indebtedness and related debt service
obligations i) require that significant cash flow from operations be used for principal and interest payments, which
reduces the funds we have available for other business purposes; ii) limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to
changes in our business and market conditions; and iii) expose us to interest rate risk, since the majority of our debt
obligations carry variable interest rates. If we are unable to maintain our leverage ratio (net debt divided by Adjusted
EBITDA, as defined in our credit agreements) within our target range of 1.5 to 2.5, or if we are unable to move cash
globally to enable debt repayments in a tax-efficient manner, our results of operations and financial condition could be
adversely affected.
The proposed phase out of the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) could have an adverse effect on our business
Our revolving credit facility and current term loans utilize LIBOR to set the interest rate on outstanding borrowings. In
July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority, a regulator of financial service firms in the U.K., announced that it intends
to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. Currently, there is no definitive
information or consensus regarding the future utilization of LIBOR or of any particular alternative reference rates. As a
result, it is not possible to predict the effect of these changes, other reforms, or the establishment of alternative reference
rates, but the potential phase out of LIBOR could adversely affect our access to the capital markets and cost of funding.
Market trends and regulatory requirements may require additional funding for our pension plans.
We have several defined benefit pension plans in the U.S., all of which are frozen to new participants. Our funding
policy for these plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, the amount necessary on an actuarial basis to provide for
benefits in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Our domestic plans have an unfunded liability of $67
million. During fiscal 2020, we anticipate making funding contributions totaling $3 million related to these domestic
plans. Funding requirements for our defined benefit plans are dependent upon, among other things, interest rates,
underlying asset returns, mortality rate tables, and the impact of legislative or regulatory changes. Should changes in
actuarial assumptions or other factors result in the requirement of significant additional funding contributions, our
financial condition could be adversely affected.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Our balance sheet includes significant amounts of goodwill and intangible assets. An impairment of a significant
portion of these assets would adversely affect our financial results.
Our balance sheet includes goodwill and intangible assets totaling $285 million at March 31, 2019. We perform
goodwill impairment tests annually, as of March 31, or more frequently if appropriate. In addition, we review intangible
assets for impairment whenever business conditions or other events indicate that the assets may be impaired. If we
determine the carrying value of an asset is impaired, we write down the asset to fair value and record an impairment
charge to current operations. An impairment of a significant portion of goodwill or intangible assets could have a
material adverse effect on our financial results.
Income Taxes
We may be subject to additional income tax expense or become subject to additional tax exposure.
Unfavorable changes in the financial outlook of our operations in certain jurisdictions could lead to adverse changes in
our valuation allowance assertions for our deferred tax assets. Additionally, the subjectivity of or changes in tax laws
and regulations in jurisdictions where we have significant operations could materially affect our results of operations. In
15
15
addition, we are subject to tax audits in each jurisdiction in which we operate. Unfavorable or unexpected outcomes
from one or more tax audits could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act includes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including,
but not limited to (i) a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent effective January 1,
2018, and (ii) a transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. We completed our accounting for
the Tax Act during fiscal 2019; see Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
Additional impacts from the Tax Act could result if there are changes in interpretations or applications of the Tax Act’s
provisions or if supplementary regulatory guidance is issued.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
Founded in 1916, Modine Manufacturing Company is a global leader in thermal management systems and components,
bringing heating and cooling technology and solutions to diversified global markets. We operate on five continents, in
19 countries, and employ approximately 12,200 persons worldwide.
Our primary product groups include i) powertrain cooling and engine cooling; ii) coils, coolers, and coatings; and iii)
heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Our products are used in on- and off-highway original-equipment vehicular
applications. In addition, we provide our thermal management technology and solutions to a wide array of commercial,
industrial, and building heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration markets.
Company Strategy
We launched our SDG strategy over three years ago to establish a more global, product-based organizational structure
and a strategic framework for our company. We’re proud of our achievements to date under SDG’s core guiding
principles. We’ve successfully acquired and integrated the Luvata HTS business, now operating within our CIS
segment. The CIS segment has propelled our organization forward toward our vision of becoming a leading global
diversified industrial thermal management company. This acquisition succeeded in better diversifying our product
portfolio and improving our cash flow. We’ve also taken actions to strengthen our business and lower our operating and
SG&A cost structures, including restructuring actions, which have encompassed plant consolidation activities, targeted
headcount reductions, and product line transfers, and global procurement initiatives to reduce costs for materials and
services. Reflecting on these achievements, we believe that Modine is stronger than ever.
As we look ahead, we aim to build upon our SDG strategy by pursuing opportunities that best align with our vision for
the future and secure our position as a global diversified industrial thermal management company. We have made
significant progress in executing our multi-year strategy to establish meaningful positions in markets where we can
deliver consistent, profitable growth. We regularly review our product portfolio and the end markets we serve to ensure
we have the right mix of business to build and move Modine forward. We recently announced that we are evaluating
strategic alternatives for our automotive business within our VTS segment in order to optimize the segment’s
profitability and reprioritize capital investments across all of our businesses. We believe our SDG strategy will continue
to keep us grounded, thriving, and transforming to optimize the value we offer our customers and to provide the highest
returns for our shareholders.
Development of New Products and Technology
Our ability to develop new products and technologies based upon our building block strategy for new and emerging
markets is one of our competitive strengths. Under this strategy, we focus on creating core technologies that form the
basis for multiple products and product lines across multiple business segments. Each of our business segments have a
strong heritage of new product development, and our entire global technology organization benefits from mutual
strengths. We own four global, state-of-the-art technology centers, dedicated to the development and testing of products
and technologies. The centers are located in Racine, Wisconsin, Grenada, Mississippi, Pocenia, Italy and Bonlanden,
Germany. Our reputation for providing high quality products and technologies has been a Company strength valued by
our customers.
We continue to benefit from relationships with customers that recognize the value of having us participate directly in
product design, development and validation processes. This has resulted, and we expect it to continue to result, in
strong, long-term customer relationships with companies that value partnerships with their suppliers.
Strategic Planning and Corporate Development
We employ both short-term (one-to-three year) and longer-term (five-to-seven year) strategic planning processes, which
enable us to continually assess our opportunities, competitive threats, and economic market challenges.
21
21
We devote significant resources to global strategic planning and development activities to strengthen our competitive
position. We expect to continue to pursue organic- and external-growth opportunities, particularly to grow our global,
market leading positions in our industrial businesses and continue to build on the momentum and success recently
experienced by our CIS and BHVAC segments.
Operational and Financial Discipline
We operate in a dynamic, global marketplace; therefore, we manage our business with a disciplined focus on increasing
productivity and reducing waste. The nature of the global marketplace requires us to move toward a greater
manufacturing scale in order to create a more competitive cost base. In order to optimize our cost structure and improve
efficiency of our operations, we have executed restructuring activities in our VTS and CIS segments during recent years.
In addition, as costs for materials and purchased parts may rise from time to time due to increases in commodity markets,
we seek low-cost sourcing, when appropriate, and enter into contracts with some of our customers that provide for
commodity price adjustments, on a lag basis.
We follow a rigorous financial process for investment and returns, intended to enable increased profitability and cash
flows over the long term. We place particular emphasis on working capital improvement and prioritization of our capital
investments.
Our executive management incentive compensation (annual cash incentive) plan for fiscal 2019 was based upon
consolidated operating income growth and a cash flow margin metric. These performance goals drive alignment of
management and shareholders’ interests in both our earnings growth and cash flow targets. In addition, we provide a
long-term incentive compensation plan for officers and certain key employees to attract, retain, and motivate employees
who directly impact the long-term performance of our company. The plan is comprised of stock awards, stock options,
and performance-based stock awards. The performance-based stock awards for the fiscal 2019 through 2021
performance period are based upon a target three-year average annual revenue growth and a target three-year average
consolidated cash flow return on invested capital.
Segment Information – Strategy, Market Conditions and Trends
Each of our operating segments is managed by a vice president and has separate strategic and financial plans, and
financial results, all of which are reviewed by our chief operating decision maker. These plans and results are used by
management to evaluate the performance of each segment and to make decisions on the allocation of resources.
Effective April 1, 2018, we merged our Americas coils business into the CIS segment to accelerate operational
improvements and organizational efficiencies and formed the VTS segment by combining our Americas, Europe, and
Asia operations to enable us to operate as a more global, product-based organization.
Vehicular Thermal Solutions (59 percent of fiscal 2019 net sales)
Our VTS segment provides powertrain and engine cooling products, including, but not limited to, radiators, charge air
coolers, condensers, oil coolers, EGR coolers, and fuel coolers, to OEMs in the automotive, commercial vehicle, and off-
highway markets in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia. In addition, our VTS segment also serves
Brazil’s automotive and commercial vehicle aftermarkets.
Sales volume in the VTS segment increased during fiscal 2019, as compared with the prior year, primarily due to higher
sales to certain key end markets in North America and Asia. In North America, we benefited from a substantial recovery
in the off-highway market and experienced sales volume increases to automotive customers, despite a relatively flat
automotive market. The North American commercial vehicle market experienced significant growth during the year;
however, our sales growth to commercial vehicle customers lagged behind the overall market trend, primarily due to the
planned wind-down of certain commercial vehicle programs. In Asia, we benefited from growth of the off-highway
markets in China and Korea and maturing automotive program volumes in China. In order to meet growing regional
demand, we expanded our manufacturing capacity in Changzhou, China during fiscal 2019. Tariffs unfavorably
impacted our VTS segment’s financial results during fiscal 2019, both directly and indirectly. Impacts of tariffs on our
raw material costs included the direct cost of tariffs on certain imported items from China; rising prices from domestic
sources, as certain suppliers leveraged tariffs to impose cost increases; and resourcing costs, as certain domestic suppliers
have chosen to exit supplying certain products altogether due to capacity constraints resulting from increased demand.
The unfavorable impacts of tariffs were partially offset by the implementation of strict cost control in other areas.
22
22
Looking forward to fiscal 2020, we anticipate varied levels of growth in our key end markets. To meet increased
demand in Asia, we will complete our expansion of manufacturing capacity in our locations near Chennai, India and
Yangzhou, China. We expect the global automotive markets will be relatively flat. In regard to the global commercial
vehicle markets, we expect a decline in North America, Europe and Asia and growth in South America. We expect our
commercial vehicle sales will decrease compared with fiscal 2019, primarily due to the planned wind-downs of certain
programs in Europe and North America. However, we expect growth in our commercial vehicle business in China,
primarily due to increasing production of Euro 6 engines that have additional Modine content. In regard to global off-
highway markets, we anticipate modest growth in the majority of both construction and agricultural markets.
As recently announced, we are evaluating strategic alternatives for our automotive business. A primary objective of our
evaluation is optimizing our VTS segment’s profitability profile. The automotive market exhibits different industry
dynamics, growth trajectories, and strategic opportunities, as compared with the commercial vehicle and off-highway
markets we serve, and generally requires higher capital investment from its supply base. While we are continuing to
explore various alternatives to best serve our customers and provide the greatest return for our shareholders, we currently
believe a sale of the automotive business is the most likely path forward. We remain firmly committed to the
commercial vehicle and off-highway markets and making the necessary investments to ensure our global business is
successful.
Commercial and Industrial Solutions (32 percent of fiscal 2019 net sales)
Our CIS segment provides a broad offering of thermal management products to the HVAC&R markets, including
solutions tailored to indoor and mobile climates, food storage and transport-refrigeration, and industrial processes. CIS’s
primary product groups include coils, coolers, and coatings. Our coils products include custom-designed condensers,
evaporators, round-tube solutions, as well as steam and water/fluid coils. Our coolers include commercial refrigeration
units, which are used across the food supply chain as well as for precision climate control for other applications such as
data centers, and other types such as carbon dioxide and ammonia unit coolers, remote condensers, transformer oil
coolers, and brine coolers. In addition, we offer proprietary coating solutions for corrosion protection, prolonging the
life of heat-transfer equipment.
During fiscal 2019, CIS experienced above-market sales growth, primarily driven by strong market dynamics. The data
center cooling and commercial refrigeration markets both yielded stronger than expected demand. In order to meet
growing and regional demand, we expanded our manufacturing capacity in both Serbia and Mexico. We expect modest
growth in each of the CIS markets we serve during fiscal 2020.
Looking forward, we will continue to work on manufacturing strategies to ensure we are offering competitive solutions
and operating in regions with the most cost-effective footprint. Additionally, we aim to capitalize on opportunities
arising from energy and environmental regulations; we believe we are well-positioned to be the partner of choice to
provide our customers innovative commercial and industrial thermal management solutions.
Building HVAC Systems (9 percent of fiscal 2019 net sales)
Our BHVAC segment manufactures and distributes a variety of original equipment and aftersales HVAC products,
primarily for commercial buildings and related applications in North America, the United Kingdom, mainland Europe,
the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. We sell and distribute our heating, ventilation and cooling products through
wholesalers, distributors, consulting engineers, contractors and building owners for applications such as warehouses,
repair garages, greenhouses, residential garages, schools, data centers, manufacturing facilities, hotels, hospitals,
restaurants, stadiums, and retail stores. Our heating products include gas (natural and propane), electric, oil and hydronic
unit heaters, low- and high-intensity infrared, and large roof-mounted direct- and indirect-fired makeup air units. Our
ventilation products include single-packaged vertical units and unit ventilators used in school room applications, air-
handling equipment, and rooftop packaged ventilation units used in a variety of commercial building applications. Our
cooling products include precision air conditioning units used primarily for data center cooling applications, air- and
water-cooled chillers, and ceiling cassettes, which are also used in a variety of commercial building applications.
Economic conditions, such as demand for new commercial construction, building renovations, including HVAC
replacement, growth in data centers and school renovations, and higher efficiency requirements, are growth drivers for
our building HVAC products. During fiscal 2019, sales improved across all of our North America product platforms,
including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and aftersales. Our U.K. business experienced sales volume
23
23
improvements in air conditioning equipment and aftersales. In fiscal 2019, we made the strategic decision to sell our
business in South Africa and, as a result, recorded a $2 million loss on the sale.
We expect continued growth in each of the HVAC markets we serve during fiscal 2020. The markets we serve are
heavily impacted by construction activity, building regulations, and owner/occupant comfort requirements. Growth rates
in these markets have recently shown some strength, as manufacturing, housing, and business investment continue to
increase. In fiscal 2020, we expect sales growth in our BHVAC segment through the introduction of new and unique
products for the markets we serve and focused market share gains.
Consolidated Results of Operations
On November 30, 2016, we acquired Luvata HTS for consideration totaling $415.6 million ($388.2 million, net of cash
acquired). This business is a leading global supplier of coils, coolers and coatings to the heating, ventilation, air
conditioning, and refrigeration industry. We’ve consolidated financial results from this business within our CIS segment
since the acquisition date; accordingly, fiscal 2017 included four months of financial results from the acquired business.
On January 29, 2019, we announced that we are evaluating strategic alternatives for our automotive business within our
VTS segment. Our primary objectives include optimizing the VTS segment’s profitability and reprioritizing capital
investments across all of our businesses. While we are continuing to explore various alternatives, we currently believe a
sale of the automotive business is the most likely path forward. We expect to complete our evaluation in fiscal 2020 to
determine what actions we may take as a result, if any.
Fiscal 2019 net sales increased $110 million, or 5 percent, from the prior year, primarily due to higher sales in each of
our operating segments. Gross profit increased $9 million, yet gross margin declined 50 basis points to 16.5 percent, as
the benefit from higher sales volume was more than offset by unfavorable material costs, including the impacts of tariffs,
and temporary operating inefficiencies largely resulting from increased volumes and new program launches at certain
facilities. SG&A expenses decreased $2 million, or 70 basis points as a percentage of sales. During fiscal 2019, we
recorded $10 million of restructuring expenses, primarily related to targeted headcount reductions within the VTS
segment. Fiscal 2019 operating income increased $18 million to $110 million. The impacts of our accounting for the
Tax Act significantly impacted our $5 million income tax benefit in fiscal 2019, as compared with an income tax
provision of $40 million in the prior year. As a result of the higher operating income and the impact of income taxes, our
fiscal 2019 net earnings of $86 million improved $62 million compared with the prior year.
Fiscal 2018 net sales increased $600 million, or 40 percent, from the prior year, primarily due to $444 million of
additional sales from our CIS segment and higher sales in our other operating segments. We owned the Luvata HTS
business (CIS segment) for four months in fiscal 2017. Gross profit increased $103 million, including $66 million of
additional contribution from our CIS segment. SG&A expenses increased $43 million, primarily due to a $39 million
increase in SG&A expenses in our CIS segment. During fiscal 2018, we recorded $16 million of restructuring expenses,
primarily related to a facility closure in our CIS segment and targeted headcount reductions in our VTS segment. Fiscal
2018 operating income increased $50 million to $92 million. Our fiscal 2018 net earnings of $24 million increased $9
million compared with the prior year, primarily due to the $50 million increase in operating income, partially offset by
$38 million of provisional income tax charges associated with the Tax Act and higher interest expense.

Year Ended March 31, 2019 Compared with Year Ended March 31, 2018:
Fiscal 2019 net sales increased $110 million, or 5 percent, from the prior year, primarily due to higher sales in each of
our operating segments, partially offset by a $28 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes.
Fiscal 2019 gross profit increased $9 million from the prior year, yet gross margin declined 50 basis points to 16.5
percent. The decline in gross margin was primarily due to unfavorable material costs, including the direct and indirect
impacts of tariffs, and temporary operating inefficiencies largely related to increased volumes and multiple new program
launches in our VTS segment, partially offset by higher sales volume. In addition, gross profit was unfavorably
impacted by $4 million from foreign currency exchange rate changes.
Fiscal 2019 SG&A expenses of $244 million decreased $2 million, or 70 basis points as a percentage of sales, from the
prior year. The decrease in SG&A expenses was primarily due to lower integration costs associated with our November
2016 acquisition of the Luvata HTS business and a $3 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate
changes, partially offset by higher third-party strategic advisory costs recorded at Corporate and higher environmental
charges within our VTS segment. During fiscal 2019, we recorded $7 million of costs, primarily consisting of third-
party consulting fees, related to our evaluation of strategic alternatives for our VTS segment’s automotive business.
Fiscal 2019 restructuring expenses of $10 million decreased $6 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to
lower severance-related expenses associated with the fiscal 2018 closure of a manufacturing facility in Gailtal, Austria
within the CIS segment.
During fiscal 2019, we sold our South African business within the BHVAC segment and, as a result, recorded a loss of
$2 million.
Operating income of $110 million in fiscal 2019 increased $18 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to
higher earnings in the CIS and BHVAC segments, partially offset by lower earnings in the VTS segment.
The benefit for income taxes was $5 million in fiscal 2019, compared with a provision for income taxes of $40 million in
fiscal 2018. The $45 million change was primarily due to our accounting for the impacts of the Tax Act. As a result of
the Tax Act, we recorded provisional income tax charges totaling $38 million in the prior year, compared with income
tax benefits totaling $8 million in the current year. In addition, we recorded income tax benefits totaling $17 million in
the current year resulting from the recognition of tax assets for foreign tax credits and other attributes, partially offset by
the absence of a $9 million benefit from a development tax credit in Hungary recorded in the prior year and changes in
the mix of operating earnings. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Year Ended March 31, 2018 Compared with Year Ended March 31, 2017:
Fiscal 2018 net sales increased $600 million, or 40 percent, from the prior year, primarily due to $444 million of
additional sales from our CIS segment, which included sales from the acquired Luvata HTS business that we owned for
four months of fiscal 2017, higher sales in each of our other operating segments, and a $55 million favorable impact of
foreign currency exchange rate changes.
Fiscal 2018 gross profit of $357 million increased $103 million from the prior year, primarily due to $66 million of
additional gross profit from our CIS segment and higher gross profit in our VTS and BHVAC segments. Gross profit
was favorably impacted by $9 million from foreign currency exchange rate changes. Gross margin improved 10 basis
points to 17.0 percent, primarily due to higher sales volume, savings resulting from cost-reduction initiatives, improved
operating efficiencies, and the absence of a $4 million inventory purchase accounting adjustment recorded in the prior
year, partially offset by unfavorable material costs and incremental depreciation and amortization expense resulting from
purchase accounting for Luvata HTS.
Fiscal 2018 SG&A expenses of $246 million increased $43 million from the prior year, primarily due to a $39 million
increase in SG&A expenses in our CIS segment, $4 million of strategy consulting fees incurred during fiscal 2018,
higher compensation-related expenses, and a $4 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes,
partially offset by lower costs incurred related to the acquisition of Luvata HTS. SG&A expenses, as a percentage of net
sales, decreased 180 basis points compared with the prior year.
Restructuring expenses of $16 million in fiscal 2018 increased $5 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to
severance-related expenses in the CIS segment related to the closure of a manufacturing facility in Austria.
During fiscal 2018, we recorded impairment charges totaling $3 million related to the closure of the CIS manufacturing
facility in Austria and the discontinuance of a product line in our BHVAC segment.
During fiscal 2017, we sold three manufacturing facilities within our VTS segment, two of which were previously
closed, and recognized net gains totaling $2 million.
Operating income of $92 million in fiscal 2018 increased $50 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to $18
million of additional operating income contributed by our CIS segment and higher earnings in the VTS and BHVAC
segments.
Fiscal 2018 interest expense increased $9 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to debt issued to finance a
significant portion of our acquisition of Luvata HTS.
The provision for income taxes was $40 million and $6 million in fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively. The $34 million
increase was primarily due to $38 million of provisional charges recorded in fiscal 2018 related to the Tax Act and
increased operating earnings, partially offset by income tax benefits totaling $14 million resulting from i) a development
tax credit in Hungary ($9 million); ii) the reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance in a foreign jurisdiction ($3
million); and iii) a reduction of unrecognized tax benefits resulting from a lapse in statutes of limitations ($2 million),
and the absence of a $2 million provision recorded in the prior year to establish a valuation allowance in a separate
foreign jurisdiction.

Segment Results of Operations
Since the date we acquired Luvata HTS (November 30, 2016), we have included financial results of this acquired
business within our CIS segment. Effective April 1, 2018, we merged our Americas coils business into the CIS segment
to accelerate operational improvements and organizational efficiencies and formed the VTS segment by combining our
Americas, Europe, and Asia operations to enable us to operate as a more global, product-based organization. We began
reporting financial results for our new segments beginning in fiscal 2019. Segment financial information for fiscal 2018
and 2017 has been recast to conform to the fiscal 2019 presentation.

Year Ended March 31, 2019 Compared with Year Ended March 31, 2018:
VTS net sales increased $56 million, or 4 percent, in fiscal 2019 compared with the prior year, primarily due to higher
sales volume to off-highway and automotive customers in North America and Asia, partially offset by lower sales
volume to customers in Europe and a $21 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes. Gross
profit decreased $14 million and gross margin declined 170 basis points to 13.8 percent. The decline in gross margin
was primarily due to unfavorable material costs, including the impacts of tariffs, and temporary operating inefficiencies
largely related to increased volumes and new program launches at certain manufacturing facilities, partially offset by
higher sales volume. In addition, foreign currency exchange rate changes had an unfavorable $3 million impact on gross
profit. SG&A expenses increased $3 million compared with the prior year, yet decreased 10 basis points as a percentage
of sales. The increase in SG&A expenses primarily resulted from higher environmental charges related to previously-
owned manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and higher compensation-related expenses, partially offset by a $2 million
favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes. Restructuring expenses increased $2 million, primarily due
to higher severance expenses. Operating income decreased $19 million to $65 million, primarily due to lower gross
profit and higher SG&A and restructuring expenses.
Year Ended March 31, 2018 Compared with Year Ended March 31, 2017:
VTS net sales increased $144 million, or 12 percent, in fiscal 2018 compared with the prior year, primarily due to higher
sales volume to off-highway and automotive customers and a $42 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange
rate changes. Gross profit increased $19 million, primarily due to higher sales volume. Gross margin declined 30 basis
points, primarily due to unfavorable material costs, the absence of favorable customer pricing settlements recorded in the
prior year, and higher depreciation expense resulting from recent production capacity investments, partially offset by
improved operating efficiencies. In addition, foreign currency exchange rate changes had a favorable $7 million impact
on gross profit. SG&A expenses increased $4 million compared with the prior year, primarily due to a $3 million
unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes, higher compensation-related expenses, and higher
environmental charges related to a previously-owned manufacturing facility in the U.S., partially offset by the absence of
a $2 million charge recorded in the prior year related to a legal matter in Brazil, which has since been settled and paid.
As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased 80 basis points to 8.4 percent. Restructuring expenses decreased $3
million, primarily due to lower plant consolidation and equipment transfer costs. In fiscal 2017, we sold three
manufacturing facilities and, as a result, recognized gains totaling $2 million.

Year Ended March 31, 2019 Compared with Year Ended March 31, 2018:
CIS net sales increased $32 million, or 5 percent, in fiscal 2019 compared with the prior year, primarily due to higher
sales volume to data center and commercial HVAC&R customers, partially offset by lower sales volume to industrial
customers and a $5 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes. Gross profit increased $17
million and gross margin improved 170 basis points to 16.2 percent, primarily due to higher sales volume and favorable
sales mix. SG&A expenses increased $1 million, yet decreased 20 basis points as a percentage of sales. The $1 million
increase in SG&A expenses was primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses, including higher commission
costs, partially offset by a $1 million favorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes. Restructuring
expenses decreased $8 million, primarily due to the absence of severance-related expenses recorded in the prior year
related to the closure of a manufacturing facility in Austria. In fiscal 2018, we recorded a $1 million impairment charge
related to the closure of the Austrian facility. In fiscal 2019, we recorded an additional impairment charge of less than
$1 million related to this facility. Operating income of $53 million increased $24 million, primarily due to higher gross
profit and lower restructuring expenses.
Year Ended March 31, 2018 Compared with Year Ended March 31, 2017:
CIS financial results for fiscal 2017 primarily include four months of results from the acquired Luvata HTS business.
These financial results are not comparable to fiscal 2018, which included a full year of Luvata HTS results.

Year Ended March 31, 2019 Compared with Year Ended March 31, 2018:
BHVAC net sales increased $21 million, or 11 percent, in fiscal 2019 compared with the prior year, primarily due to
higher sales of air conditioning products and parts and controls in the U.K. and heating products in North America,
partially offset by a $1 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes. Gross profit increased $5
million, yet gross margin declined 40 basis points to 29.9 percent. This slight decline in gross margin primarily resulted
from unfavorable material costs and sales mix, partially offset by higher sales volume. SG&A expenses decreased $1
million compared with the prior year and decreased 240 basis points as a percentage of sales, primarily due to cost-
control initiatives. During fiscal 2019, we completed the sale of our business in South Africa, and, as a result, recorded a
loss of $2 million. Operating income of $27 million increased $7 million, primarily due to higher gross profit.

28
Year Ended March 31, 2018 Compared with Year Ended March 31, 2017:
BHVAC net sales increased $19 million, or 11 percent, in fiscal 2018 compared with the prior year, primarily due to
higher heating and ventilation product sales in North America and a $1 million favorable impact of foreign currency
exchange rate changes. Gross profit increased $10 million and gross margin improved 250 basis points to 30.3 percent,
primarily due to higher sales volume and improved operating efficiencies in the U.K. SG&A expenses increased $2
million, primarily due to higher commission costs resulting from higher sales. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses
decreased 90 basis points. Restructuring expenses decreased $1 million, primarily due to the absence of severance
expenses recorded in the prior year. During fiscal 2018, we discontinued a geothermal product line and, as a result,
recorded a $1 million impairment charge for intangible assets we no longer use. Operating income of $20 million
increased $7 million, primarily due to higher gross profit.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operating activities, our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31,
2019 of $42 million, and an available borrowing capacity of $124 million under our revolving credit facility. Given our
extensive international operations, approximately $35 million of our cash and cash equivalents are held by our non-U.S.
subsidiaries. Amounts held by non-U.S. subsidiaries are available for general corporate use; however, these funds may
be subject to foreign withholding taxes if repatriated. We have not encountered, and do not expect to encounter, any
difficulty meeting the liquidity requirements of our global operations.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2019 was $103 million, a decrease of $21 million from $124 million in
the prior year. This decrease in operating cash flow primarily resulted from unfavorable changes in working capital,
partially offset by the favorable impact of stronger earnings. The unfavorable changes in working capital, as compared
with the prior year, included higher incentive compensation and other employee benefit payments and higher inventory
levels associated with higher sales levels.
Net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal 2018 was $124 million, an increase of $82 million from $42 million in
fiscal 2017. This increase in operating cash flow primarily resulted from an increase in operating earnings, including
additional contributions from our CIS segment, lower payments for costs associated with the acquisition and integration
of Luvata HTS and restructuring expenses in the current year, and favorable net changes in working capital.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures of $74 million during fiscal 2019 increased $3 million compared with fiscal 2018, primarily due to
higher capital expenditures in our CIS segment, including investments to expand manufacturing capacity in Serbia and
Mexico. Similar to prior years, our capital spending in fiscal 2019 primarily occurred in the VTS segment, which totaled
$56 million, and included tooling and equipment purchases in conjunction with new and renewal programs with
customers, as well as investments to expand manufacturing capacity in China and Hungary. At March 31, 2019, our
capital expenditure commitments totaled $24 million. Significant commitments included tooling and equipment
expenditures for new and renewal programs with customers in Asia, North America, and Europe within the VTS
segment.
Debt
Our total debt outstanding decreased $30 million to $450 million at March 31, 2019 compared with the prior year,
primarily due to repayments of debt during fiscal 2019. See Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for additional information regarding our credit agreements.
Our debt agreements require us to maintain compliance with various covenants. As defined in the credit agreement, the
term loans may require prepayments in the event our annual excess cash flow exceeds defined levels, depending upon
our leverage ratio, or in the event of certain asset sales. In addition, under our primary debt agreements in the U.S., we
are subject to leverage ratio covenants, the most restrictive of which requires us to limit our consolidated indebtedness,
less a portion of our cash balance, both as defined by the credit agreement, to no more than three and one-quarter times
consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain other adjustments (“Adjusted
EBITDA”). We are also subject to an interest expense coverage ratio covenant, which requires us to maintain Adjusted
29
29
EBITDA of at least three times consolidated interest expense. As of March 31, 2019, our leverage ratio and interest
coverage ratio were 2.1 and 9.0, respectively. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of March 31, 2019 and
expect to remain in compliance during fiscal 2020 and beyond.

(a) Includes capital lease obligations and other long-term obligations.
Our liabilities for pensions, postretirement benefits, and uncertain tax positions totaled $119 million as of March 31,
2019. We are unable to determine the ultimate timing of payments for these liabilities; therefore, we have excluded
these amounts from the contractual obligations table above. We expect to contribute $3 million to our U.S. pension
plans during fiscal 2020.
Critical Accounting Policies
The following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparing our
consolidated financial statements. Application of these policies results in accounting estimates that have the greatest
potential for a significant impact on our financial statements. The following discussion of these judgments and estimates
is intended to supplement the significant accounting policies presented in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements. In addition, recently issued accounting pronouncements that could significantly impact our financial
statement are disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Revenue Recognition
In fiscal 2019, we adopted new revenue recognition accounting guidance. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information. In accordance with this new accounting guidance, we recognize revenue
based upon consideration specified in a contract and as we satisfy performance obligations by transferring control over our
products to our customers, which may be at a point in time or over time. The majority of our revenue is recognized at a
point in time, based upon shipment terms. A limited number of our customer contracts provide an enforceable right to
payment for performance completed to date. For these contracts, we recognize revenue over time based upon our
estimated progress towards the satisfaction of the contract’s performance obligations. We record an allowance for doubtful
accounts for estimated uncollectible receivables and we accrue for estimated warranty costs at the time of sale. We base
these estimates upon historical experience, current business trends, and current economic conditions.
Acquisitions
From time to time, we make strategic acquisitions that have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations
or financial position. We allocate the purchase price of acquired businesses to the identifiable tangible and intangible
assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.
We determine the estimated fair values using information available to us and engage third-party valuation specialists
when necessary. The estimates we use to determine the fair value of long-lived assets, such as intangible assets, can be
30
30
complex and require significant judgments. While we use our best estimates and assumptions, our estimates are
inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year
from the acquisition date, we record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding
offset to goodwill. Upon conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or
liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to our consolidated statement of
operations. We also estimate the useful lives of intangible assets to determine the amount of amortization expense to
record in future periods. We periodically review the estimated useful lives assigned to our intangible assets to determine
whether such estimated useful lives continue to be appropriate.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We perform impairment evaluations of long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and
equity investments, whenever business conditions or events indicate that those assets may be impaired. We consider
factors such as operating losses, declining financial outlooks and market conditions, when evaluating the necessity for an
impairment analysis. When the net asset values exceed undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets,
or the decline in value is considered to be “other than temporary,” we write down the assets to fair value and record an
impairment charge to current operations. We estimate fair value in various ways depending on the nature of the
underlying assets. Fair value is generally based upon appraised value, estimated salvage value, or selling prices under
negotiation, as applicable.
The most significant long-lived assets we evaluated for impairment indicators were property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets, which totaled $485 million and $116 million, respectively, at March 31, 2019. Within property, plant
and equipment, the most significant assets evaluated are buildings and improvements and machinery and equipment.
Our most significant intangible assets evaluated are customer relationships, trade names, and acquired technology, the
majority of which are related to our CIS segment. We evaluate impairment at the lowest level of separately identifiable
cash flows, which is generally at the manufacturing plant level. We monitor manufacturing plant financial performance
to determine whether indicators exist that would require an impairment evaluation for the facility. This includes
significant adverse changes in plant profitability metrics; substantial changes in the mix of customer products
manufactured in the plant; changes in manufacturing strategy; and the shifting of programs to other facilities under a
manufacturing realignment strategy. When such indicators are present, we perform an impairment evaluation.
Impairment of Goodwill
We perform goodwill impairment tests annually, as of March 31, unless business events or other conditions exist that
require a more frequent evaluation. We consider factors such as operating losses, declining financial and market
outlooks, and market capitalization when evaluating the necessity for an interim impairment analysis. We test goodwill
for impairment at a reporting unit level. Reporting units resulting from recent acquisitions generally represent the
highest risk of impairment, which typically decreases as the businesses are integrated into the Company and positioned
for future operating and financial performance. We test goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of each
reporting unit with its carrying value. We determine the fair value of a reporting unit based upon the present value of
estimated future cash flows. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net
assets, goodwill is not impaired. However, if the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds its fair value,
we would conclude goodwill is impaired and would record an impairment charge equal to the amount that the reporting
unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit involves judgment and the use
of significant estimates and assumptions, which include assumptions regarding the revenue growth rates and operating
profit margins used to calculate estimated future cash flows, the risk-adjusted discount rate, business trends and market
conditions. We determine the expected future revenue growth rates and operating profit margins after consideration of
our historical revenue growth rates and earnings levels, our assessment of future market potential and our expectations of
future business performance. The discount rate used in determining discounted cash flows is a rate corresponding to our
cost of capital, adjusted for country-specific risks where appropriate.
At March 31, 2019, our goodwill totaled $169 million, primarily related to our CIS and BHVAC segments. Each of
these segments is comprised of two reporting units. We conducted annual goodwill impairment tests during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2019 by applying a fair value-based test and determined the fair value of each of our reporting units
exceeded the respective book value.

Warranty Costs
We estimate costs related to product warranties and accrue for such costs at the time of the sale, within cost of sales. We
estimate warranty costs based upon the best information available, which includes statistical and analytical analysis of
both historical and current claim data. We adjust our warranty accruals, which totaled $9 million at March 31, 2019, if it
is probable that expected claims will differ from previous estimates.
Pension Obligations
Our calculation of the expense and liabilities of our pension plans is dependent upon various assumptions. At March 31,
2019, our pension liabilities totaled $104 million. The most significant assumptions include the discount rate, long-term
expected return on plan assets, and mortality rate tables. We base our selection of assumptions on historical trends and
economic and market conditions at the time of valuation. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, actual results that differ from
these assumptions are accumulated and amortized over future periods. These differences impact future pension
expenses. Currently, participants in our domestic pension plans are not accruing benefits based upon their current
service as the plans do not include increases in annual earnings or for future service in calculating the average annual
earnings and years of credited service under the pension plan formula.
For the following discussion regarding sensitivity of assumptions, all amounts presented are in reference to our domestic
pension plans, since our domestic plans comprise all of our benefit plan assets and the large majority of our pension plan
expense.
To determine the expected rate of return on pension plan assets, we consider such factors as (a) the actual return earned
on plan assets, (b) historical rates of return on the various asset classes in the plan portfolio, (c) projections of returns on
those asset classes, (d) the amount of active management of the assets, (e) capital market conditions and economic
forecasts, and (f) administrative expenses paid with the plan assets. The long-term rate of return utilized in both fiscal
2019 and 2018 was 7.5 percent. For fiscal 2020, we have also assumed a rate of 7.5 percent. A change of 25 basis
points in the expected rate of return on assets would impact our fiscal 2020 pension expense by $0.4 million.
The discount rate reflects rates available on long-term, high-quality fixed-income corporate bonds on the measurement
date of March 31. For fiscal 2019 and 2018, for purposes of determining pension expense, we used a discount rate of 4.0
and 4.1 percent, respectively. We determined these rates based upon a yield curve that was created following an analysis
of the projected cash flows from our plans. See Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information. A change in the assumed discount rate of 25 basis points would impact our fiscal 2020 pension expense by
less than $1 million.
Income Taxes
We operate in numerous taxing jurisdictions; therefore, we are subject to regular examinations by federal, state and non-
U.S. taxing authorities. Due to the application of complex and sometimes ambiguous tax laws and rulings in the
jurisdictions in which we do business, there is an inherent level of uncertainty within our worldwide tax provisions.
Despite our belief that our tax return positions are consistent with applicable tax laws, it is possible that taxing
authorities could challenge certain positions.
The Tax Act was enacted in December 2017 and included numerous changes to existing U.S. tax regulations, including
U.S. corporate tax rates, business deductions, and taxes on income in foreign jurisdictions. We completed our
accounting for the impacts of the Tax Act during fiscal 2019. Additional impacts from the Tax Act could result if there
are changes in interpretations or applications of the Tax Act’s provisions or if supplementary regulatory guidance is
issued.
Our deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities for
financial and tax reporting purposes. We adjust these amounts to reflect changes in tax rates expected to be in effect
when the temporary differences reverse. We record a valuation allowance if we determine it is more likely than not that
the net deferred tax assets in a particular jurisdiction will not be realized. This determination involves significant
judgment. In performing this assessment on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, we consider historical and projected
financial results along with other pertinent information.
See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding income taxes.

Other Loss Reserves
We maintain liabilities and reserves for a number of other loss exposures, such as environmental remediation costs, self-
insurance reserves, uncollectible accounts receivable, regulatory compliance matters, and litigation. Establishing loss
reserves for these exposures requires the use of estimates and judgment to determine the risk exposure and ultimate
potential liability. We estimate these reserve requirements by using consistent and suitable methodologies for the
particular type of loss reserve being calculated. See Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
additional information regarding contingencies and litigation.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report, including, but not limited to, the discussion under Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains statements, including information about future financial
performance, accompanied by phrases such as “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “intends,” and
other similar “forward-looking” statements, as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Our ability to maintain our leverage ratio (net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in our credit
agreements) in our target range of 1.5 to 2.5 in an efficient manner;
The potential unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on our financial results; and
Our ability to effectively realize the benefits of deferred tax assets in various jurisdictions in which we operate.
Forward-looking statements are as of the date of this report; we do not assume any obligation to update any forward-
looking statements.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
In the normal course of business, we are subject to market exposure from changes in foreign currency exchange rates,
interest rates, commodity prices, credit risk and economic conditions.
Foreign Currency Risk
We are subject to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to our operations in foreign countries. We
have manufacturing facilities in Brazil, China, India, Mexico, and throughout Europe. We also have joint ventures in
China, Japan and South Korea. We sell and distribute products throughout the world and also purchase raw materials
from suppliers in foreign countries. As a result, our financial results are affected by changes in foreign currency
exchange rates and economic conditions in the foreign markets in which we do business. Whenever possible, we attempt
to mitigate foreign currency risks on transactions with customers and suppliers in foreign countries by entering into
contracts that are denominated in the functional currency of the entity engaging in the transaction. In addition, for
certain transactions that are denominated in a currency other than the engaging entity’s functional currency, we may
enter into foreign currency derivative contracts to further manage our foreign currency risk. In fiscal 2019, we recorded
a net loss of $1 million within our statement of operations related to foreign currency derivative contracts. In addition,
our consolidated financial results are impacted by the translation of revenue and expenses in foreign currencies into U.S.
dollars. These translation impacts are primarily affected by changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and
European currencies, primarily the euro, and changes between the U.S. dollar and the Brazilian real. In fiscal 2019,
more than 50 percent of our sales were generated in countries outside the U.S. A change in foreign currency exchange
rates will positively or negatively affect our sales; however, this impact will be offset, usually to a large degree, with a
corresponding effect on our cost of sales and other expenses. In fiscal 2019, changes in foreign currency exchange rates
unfavorably impacted our sales by $28 million; however, the impact on our operating income was less than $1 million.
Foreign currency exchange rate risk can be estimated by measuring the impact of a near-term adverse movement of 10
percent in foreign currency exchange rates. If these rates were 10 percent higher or lower during fiscal 2019, there
would not have been a material impact on our fiscal 2019 earnings.
We maintain foreign currency-denominated debt obligations and intercompany loans that are subject to foreign currency
exchange risk. We seek to mitigate this risk through maintaining offsetting positions between external and intercompany
loans; however, from time to time, we also enter into foreign currency derivative contracts to manage the currency
exchange rate exposure. These derivative instruments are typically not accounted for as hedges, and accordingly, gains
or losses on the derivatives are recorded in other income and expense in the consolidated statements of operations and
typically offset the foreign currency changes on the outstanding loans.
Interest Rate Risk
We seek to reduce the potential volatility of earnings that could arise from changes in interest rates. We generally utilize
a mixture of debt maturities and both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to manage exposure to changes in interest rates.
Interest on both our term loans and borrowings under our primary multi-currency revolving credit facility is based upon a
variable interest rate, primarily either LIBOR or EURIBOR, plus 137.5 to 250 basis points, depending on our leverage
ratio. We are subject to risk of fluctuations in LIBOR and EURIBOR and changes in our leverage ratio, which would
affect the variable interest rate on our term loans and revolving credit facility and could create variability in interest
35
35
expense. As of March 31, 2019, our outstanding borrowings on variable-rate term loans and the revolving credit facility
totaled $238 million and $47 million, respectively. Based upon our outstanding debt with variable interest rates at
March 31, 2019, a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase our annual interest expense in fiscal 2020 by
approximately $3 million.
Commodity Price Risk
We are dependent upon the supply of raw materials and supplies in our production processes and, from time to time,
enter into firm purchase commitments for aluminum, copper, nickel, and natural gas. Commodity price risk is most
prevalent to our vehicular businesses, which provide customized production and service parts to customers under multi-
year programs. In order to mitigate commodity price risk specific to these long-term sales programs, we maintain
contract provisions with certain customers that allow us to prospectively adjust prices based upon raw material price
fluctuations. These prospective price adjustments generally lag behind the actual raw material price fluctuations by three
months or longer, and typically the contract provisions are limited to the underlying material cost based upon the London
Metal Exchange and exclude additional cost elements, such as related premiums and fabrication. For our industrial
businesses, we predominantly seek to mitigate commodity price risk by adjusting product pricing in response to any
applicable price increases.
Credit Risk
Credit risk represents the possibility of loss from a customer failing to make payment according to contract terms. Our
principal credit risk consists of outstanding trade accounts receivable. At March 31, 2019, 38 percent of our trade
accounts receivable balance was concentrated with our top ten customers. These customers operate primarily in the
automotive, commercial vehicle, off-highway, data center cooling and commercial air conditioning markets and are
influenced by similar market and general economic factors. In the past, credit losses from our customers have not been
significant.
We manage credit risk through a focus on the following:
Cash and investments – We review cash deposits and short-term investments to ensure banks have acceptable
credit ratings, and short-term investments are maintained in secured or guaranteed instruments. We consider
our holdings in cash and investments to be stable and secure at March 31, 2019;
Trade accounts receivable – Prior to granting credit, we evaluate each customer, taking into consideration the
customer's financial condition, payment experience and credit information. After credit is granted, we
actively monitor the customer's financial condition and applicable business news;
Pension assets – We have retained outside advisors to assist in the management of the assets in our pension
plans. In making investment decisions, we utilize an established risk management protocol that focuses on
protection of the plan assets against downside risk. We ensure that investments within these plans provide
appropriate diversification, the investments are monitored by investment teams, and portfolio managers
adhere to the established investment policies. We believe the plan assets are subject to appropriate investment
policies and controls; and
Insurance – We monitor our insurance providers to ensure they maintain financial ratings that are acceptable
to us. We have not identified any concerns in this regard based upon our reviews.
Economic Risk
Economic risk represents the possibility of loss resulting from economic instability in certain areas of the world or
downturns in markets in which we operate. We sell a broad range of products that provide thermal solutions to
customers operating primarily in the automotive, commercial vehicle, off-highway, and commercial, industrial, and
building HVAC&R markets. We operate in diversified markets as a strategy for offsetting the risk associated with a
downturn in any of the markets we serve. However, risk associated with market downturns is still present.
We monitor economic conditions in the U.S. and abroad. As we expand our 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.
We pursue new market opportunities after careful consideration of the potential associated risks and benefits. Successes
in new markets are dependent upon our ability to commercialize our investments. Current examples of new and
emerging markets for us include those related to electric vehicles, coils and coolers in certain markets, and coatings. Our
36
36
investment in these areas is subject to the risks associated with technological success, customer and market acceptance,
and our ability to meet the demands of our customers as these markets grow.
In an effort to manage and reduce our costs, we have been consolidating our supply base. As a result, we are dependent
upon limited sources of supply for certain components used in the manufacture of our products, including aluminum,
copper, steel and stainless steel (nickel). We are exposed to the risk of suppliers of certain raw materials not being able
or willing to meet strong customer demand (including the potential effects of trade laws and tariffs), as they may not
increase their output capacity as quickly as customers increase their orders, and of increased prices being charged by raw
material suppliers.
In addition, we purchase parts from suppliers that use our tooling to create the parts. In most instances, and for financial
reasons, we do not have duplicate tooling for the manufacture of the purchased parts. As a result, we are exposed to the
risk of a supplier being unable to provide the quantity or quality of parts that we require. Even in situations where
suppliers are manufacturing parts without the use of our tooling, we face the challenge of obtaining consistently high-
quality parts from suppliers that are financially stable. We utilize a supplier risk management program that leverages
internal and third-party tools to identify and mitigate higher-risk supplier situations.
In addition to the above risks on the supply side, we are also exposed to risks associated with demands by our customers
for decreases in the price of our products. We attempt to offset this risk with firm agreements with our customers
whenever possible, but these agreements sometimes contain provisions for future price reductions.
Hedging and Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
We use derivative financial instruments as a tool to manage certain financial risks. We prohibit the use of leveraged
derivatives.
Commodity derivatives: From time to time, we enter into over-the-counter forward contracts related to forecasted
purchases of aluminum and copper. Our strategy is to reduce our exposure to changing market prices of these
commodities. In fiscal 2019 and 2018, we designated certain commodity forward contracts as cash flow hedges for
accounting purposes. Accordingly, for these designated hedges, we record unrealized gains and losses related to the
change in the fair value of the contracts in other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity and
subsequently recognize the gains and losses within cost of sales as the underlying inventory is sold. In fiscal 2017, we
did not designate commodity forward contracts for hedge accounting. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses on these
contracts were recorded within cost of sales. In fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017, net gains and losses related to commodity
forward contracts were less than $1 million in each year.
Foreign currency forward contracts: We use derivative financial instruments in a limited way to mitigate foreign
currency exchange risk. We periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge specific foreign
currency-denominated assets and liabilities as well as forecasted transactions. We have designated certain hedges of
forecasted transactions as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, for these designated hedges, we
record unrealized gains and losses related to the change in the fair value of the contracts in other comprehensive income
(loss) within shareholders’ equity and subsequently recognize the gains and losses as a component of earnings at the
same time and in the same financial statement line that the underlying transactions impact earnings. We have not
designated forward contracts related to foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities as hedges. Accordingly, for
these non-designated contracts, we record unrealized gains and losses related to the change in the fair value of the
contracts in other income and expense. Gains and losses on these non-designated foreign currency forward contracts are
offset by foreign currency gains and losses associated with the related assets and liabilities.
Counterparty risks: We manage counterparty risks by ensuring that counterparties to derivative instruments maintain
credit ratings acceptable to us. At March 31, 2019, all counterparties had a sufficient long-term credit rating.

MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In millions, except per share amounts)
Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of operations: Modine Manufacturing Company (“Modine” or the “Company”) specializes in providing innovative
thermal management solutions to diversified global markets and customers. The Company is a leading provider of engineered
heat transfer systems and high-quality heat transfer components for use in on- and off-highway original equipment
manufacturer (“OEM”) vehicular applications. In addition, the Company is a global leader in thermal management technology
and solutions for sale into a wide array of commercial, industrial, and building heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and
refrigeration (“HVAC&R”) markets. The Company’s primary product groups include i) powertrain cooling and engine
cooling; ii) coils, coolers, and coatings; and iii) heating, ventilation and air conditioning.
Sale of AIAC Air Conditioning South Africa (Pty) Ltd.: During fiscal 2019, the Company completed the sale of its AIAC Air
Conditioning South Africa (Pty) Ltd. business, which was reported within the Building HVAC Systems segment, for a selling
price of $0.5 million. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded a loss of $1.7 million, which included the write-
off of accumulated foreign currency translation losses of $0.8 million. The Company reported this loss on the loss on sale of
assets line of the consolidated statements of operations. Annual net sales attributable to this disposed business were less than
$2.0 million.
Acquisition of Luvata HTS: On November 30, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of 100 percent of the shares of
multiple companies held by Luvata Heat Transfer Solutions II AB, a company incorporated in Sweden. Combined, these
acquired companies represented the Luvata Heat Transfer Solutions (“Luvata HTS”) business. See Note 2 for additional
information.
Basis of presentation: The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. These principles require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions in determining assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and related disclosures. Actual amounts could differ
materially from those estimates.
Consolidation principles: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Modine Manufacturing Company and
its majority-owned or Modine-controlled subsidiaries. The Company eliminates intercompany transactions and balances in
consolidation.
The Company accounts for investments in non-consolidated affiliated companies in which its ownership is 20 percent or more
using the equity method. The Company states these investments at cost, plus or minus a proportionate share of undistributed
net earnings. The Company includes Modine’s share of the affiliate’s net earnings in other income and expense. See Note 13
for additional information.
Revenue recognition: The Company recognizes revenue based upon consideration specified in a contract and as it satisfies
performance obligations by transferring control over its products to its customers, which may be at a point in time or over
time. The majority of the Company’s revenue is recognized at a point in time, based upon shipment terms. A portion of the
Company’s revenue is recognized over time, based upon estimated progress towards satisfaction of the contractual
performance obligations. See Note 3 for additional information.
Shipping and handling costs: The Company records shipping and handling costs incurred upon the shipment of products to its
customers in cost of sales, and related amounts billed to these customers in net sales.
Trade accounts receivable: The Company records trade receivables at the invoiced amount. Trade receivables do not bear
interest if paid according to the original terms. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated
uncollectible receivables based upon historical experience or specific customer economic data. The Company recorded an
allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.6 million and $2.3 million at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, representing its
estimated uncollectible receivables. The Company enters into supply chain financing programs from time to time to sell
accounts receivable, without recourse, to third-party financial institutions. Sales of accounts receivable are reflected as a
reduction of accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheets and the proceeds are included in cash flows from operating
activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. During fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017, the Company sold $85.1 million,
$65.8 million, and $55.4 million, respectively, of accounts receivable to accelerate cash receipts. During fiscal 2019, 2018,
and 2017, the Company recorded a loss on the sale of accounts receivable of $0.6 million, $0.4 million, and $0.3 million,
respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations.
Warranty: The Company provides product warranties for specific product lines and accrues for estimated future warranty
costs in the period in which the sale is recorded. The Company records warranty expense, within cost of sales, based upon
43

MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In millions, except per share amounts)
historical and current claims data or based upon estimated future claims. Accrual balances, which are recorded within other
current liabilities, are monitored and adjusted if it is probable that expected claims will differ from previous estimates. See
Note 16 for additional information.
Tooling costs: The Company accounts for production tooling costs as a component of property, plant and equipment when it
owns title to the tooling and amortizes the capitalized cost to cost of sales over the estimated life of the asset, which is
generally three years. At March 31, 2019 and 2018, Company-owned tooling totaled $24.2 million and $22.4 million,
respectively. In certain instances, tooling is customer-owned. At the time customer-owned tooling is completed and customer
acceptance is obtained, the Company records tooling revenue and related production costs within net sales and cost of sales,
respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company accounts for unbilled customer-owned tooling costs
as a receivable within other current assets when the customer has guaranteed reimbursement to the Company. No significant
arrangements exist where customer-owned tooling costs were not accompanied by guaranteed reimbursement. At March 31,
2019 and 2018, cost reimbursement receivables related to customer-owned tooling totaled $11.6 million and $10.7 million,
respectively.
Stock-based compensation: The Company recognizes stock-based compensation using the fair value method. Accordingly,
compensation expense for stock options, restricted stock and performance-based stock awards is calculated based upon the fair
value of the instruments at the time of grant, and is recognized as expense over the respective vesting periods. See Note 5 for
additional information.
Research and development: The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred within selling, general and
administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. During fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017, research and development costs charged to
operations totaled $69.8 million, $65.8 million, and $64.4 million, respectively.
Translation of foreign currencies: The Company translates assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries and equity investments
into U.S. dollars at the period-end exchange rates, and translates income and expense items at the monthly average exchange
rate for the period in which the transactions occur. The Company reports resulting translation adjustments within accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders' equity. The Company includes foreign currency transaction gains or
losses in the statement of operations within other income and expense.
Derivative instruments: The Company enters into derivative financial instruments from time to time to manage certain
financial risks. The Company enters into forward contracts to reduce exposure to changing future purchase prices for
aluminum and copper and into foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge specific foreign currency-denominated assets and
liabilities as well as forecasted transactions. The Company designates certain derivative financial instruments as cash flow
hedges for accounting purposes. These instruments are used to manage financial risks and are not speculative. See Note 19
for additional information.
Income taxes: The Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities based upon the difference between the amounts
reported in the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in
which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that
a deferred tax asset, or portion thereof, will not be realized. See Note 8 for additional information.
Earnings per share: The Company calculates basic earnings per share based upon the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during the period, while the calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of potential
common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share excludes potential common shares
if their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect. Certain outstanding restricted stock awards provide recipients with a non-
forfeitable right to receive dividends declared by the Company. Therefore, these restricted stock awards are included in
computing earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. See Note 9 for additional information.
Cash and cash equivalents: The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or
less to be cash equivalents. Under the Company’s cash management system, cash balances at certain banks are funded when
checks are presented for payment. To the extent checks issued, but not yet presented for payment, exceed the balance on hand
at the specific bank against which they were written, the Company reports the amount of those checks within accounts payable
in the consolidated balance sheets.
Short-term investments: The Company invests in time deposits with original maturities of more than three months but no
more than one year. The Company records these short-term investments at cost, which approximates fair value, within other
current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s short-term investments
totaled $4.3 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In millions, except per share amounts)
Inventories: The Company values inventories using a first-in, first-out or weighted-average basis, at the lower of cost and net
realizable value.
Property, plant and equipment: The Company records property, plant and equipment at cost. For financial reporting
purposes, the Company computes depreciation using the straight-line method over the expected useful lives of the assets. The
Company charges maintenance and repair costs to operations as incurred. The Company capitalizes costs of improvements.
Upon the sale or other disposition of an asset, the Company removes the cost and related accumulated depreciation from the
accounts and includes the gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations. Capital expenditures of $17.9 million,
$15.8 million, and $12.5 million were accrued within accounts payable at March 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.
Goodwill: The Company does not amortize goodwill; rather, it tests for impairment annually unless conditions exist that
would require a more frequent evaluation. The Company performs an assessment of the fair value of its reporting units for
goodwill impairment testing based upon, among other things, the present value of expected future cash flows. The Company
performed its goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2019, which did not result in an impairment charge. See Note 15 for
additional information.
Impairment of long-lived assets: The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and
intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset
may not be fully recoverable. In these instances, the Company compares the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be
generated from the asset with its carrying value. If the asset’s carrying value exceeds expected future cash flows, the
Company measures and records an impairment loss, if any, as the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its
fair value. The Company estimates fair value using a variety of valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows, market
values and comparison values for similar assets.
Assets held for sale: The Company considers assets to be held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal
plan to actively market the asset for sale at a reasonable price in relation to its fair value, the asset is available for immediate
sale in its present condition, an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the sale have been
initiated, the sale of the asset is expected to be completed within one year and it is unlikely that significant changes will be
made to the plan. Upon designation as held for sale, the Company records the carrying value of the assets at the lower of its
carrying value or its estimated fair value, less costs to sell, within other noncurrent assets. The Company ceases to record
depreciation expense at the time of designation as held for sale. The carrying value of assets held for sale totaled $1.1 million
and $1.7 million at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Deferred compensation trusts: The Company maintains deferred compensation trusts to fund future obligations under its non-
qualified deferred compensation plans. The trusts’ investments in third-party debt and equity securities are presented within
other noncurrent assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
Self-insurance reserves: The Company retains a portion of the financial risk for certain insurance coverage, including
property, general liability, workers compensation, and employee healthcare, and therefore maintains reserves that estimate the
impact of unreported and under-reported claims that fall below various stop-loss limits and deductibles under its insurance
policies. The Company maintains reserves for the estimated settlement cost of known claims, as well as estimates of incurred
but not reported claims. The Company charges costs of claims, including the impact of changes in reserves due to claim
experience and severity, to operations. The Company reviews and updates the amount of its insurance-related reserves on a
quarterly basis.
Environmental liabilities: The Company records liabilities for environmental assessments and remediation activities in the
period in which its responsibility is probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. The Company records environmental
indemnification assets from third parties, including prior owners, when recovery is probable. To the extent that the required
remediation procedures change, or additional contamination is identified, the Company’s estimated environmental liabilities
may also change. See Note 20 for additional information.

MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In millions, except per share amounts)
New Accounting Guidance:
Stock-based Compensation
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance to simplify several aspects of
accounting for stock-based payment transactions. The Company adopted this guidance beginning in its first quarter of fiscal
2018. The Company elected to account for forfeitures in the period in which they occur and recorded a cumulative-effect
adjustment to equity. In addition, the Company prospectively adopted the guidance requiring all excess tax benefits or
deficiencies to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit when share-based awards are settled. The provisions of this
guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. As a result of adopting this new
guidance, the Company recorded a $0.4 million increase to both deferred tax assets and equity as of April 1, 2017.
Revenue Recognition
In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance that outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue
arising from contracts with customers. The core principle of the new guidance is that companies are to recognize revenue to
depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to
be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also includes a cohesive set of disclosure requirements
intended to provide users of financial statements with comprehensive information about revenue arising from contracts with
customers. The Company adopted this new guidance for fiscal 2019 using the modified-retrospective transition method.
The Company assessed customer contracts and evaluated contractual provisions in light of the new guidance. Through its
evaluation process, the Company identified a limited number of customer contracts that provide an enforceable right to
payment for customized products, which require revenue recognition prior to the product being shipped to the customer. As a
result of its adoption of the new guidance, the Company recorded an increase of $0.7 million to retained earnings as of April 1,
2018, along with related balance sheet reclassifications. The increase to retained earnings represented $3.0 million of net sales
that, had the new guidance been in effect, the Company would have recognized as of March 31, 2018. See Note 3 for
additional information regarding revenue recognition.
Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory
In October 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to income tax accounting for intercompany asset transfers. This new
guidance requires companies to recognize the income tax effects of intercompany asset transfers other than inventory at the
transaction date. The income tax effects of these transfers were previously deferred. The Company adopted this new guidance
for fiscal 2019 using the modified-retrospective transition method. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a decrease to
retained earnings of $8.3 million as of April 1, 2018.
Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash
In November 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that requires restricted cash to be included with cash and cash equivalents
when reconciling the beginning and ending balances presented within the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this
new guidance for fiscal 2019 using the retrospective transition method. As a result, all prior period information has been
recast to be comparable to the new presentation requirements. See Note 10 for information regarding the Company’s restricted
cash.
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
In February 2018, the FASB issued new guidance related to the accounting for certain stranded income tax effects in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) resulting from tax reform legislation that was enacted in the U.S. in December
2017. This guidance is effective for the Company as of April 1, 2019 and provides the option to reclassify stranded income
tax effects to retained earnings. The Company has determined it will not reclassify stranded income tax effects upon adoption,
and therefore, this guidance will not impact its consolidated financial statements.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued new comprehensive lease accounting guidance that supersedes existing lease accounting
guidance and requires balance sheet recognition for most leases. The Company will adopt this guidance effective April 1,
2019 using a modified-retrospective transition method, under which it expects to elect not to adjust comparative periods. The
Company intends to elect the package of practical expedients permitted under the new guidance, and, as a result, the Company
has not reassessed the classification of existing leases or initial direct costs thereof, or whether existing contracts contain
leases. In addition, the Company plans to elect accounting policies to not record short-term leases on the balance sheet and to
not separate lease and non-lease components. The Company does not intend to elect the hindsight practical expedient.
The Company has completed its assessment of its global lease portfolio and is in the process of finalizing the testing of its new
lease accounting software solution and implementing new processes and controls to account for leases in accordance with the

new guidance. The Company’s most significant leases represent leases of real estate, such as manufacturing facilities,
warehouses, and office buildings. In addition, the Company leases certain manufacturing and IT equipment and vehicles.
Upon adoption of this new guidance, the Company expects to recognize $60.0 to $70.0 million of right-of-use assets and
corresponding lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not expect the adoption will have a
material impact on its consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows.

MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In millions, except per share amounts)
The following is a description of the Company’s principal revenue-generating activities:
Vehicular Thermal Solutions (“VTS”)
The VTS segment principally generates revenue from providing engineered heat transfer systems and components for use in
on- and off-highway original equipment. This segment provides powertrain and engine cooling products, including, but not
limited to, radiators, charge air coolers, condensers, oil coolers, EGR coolers, and fuel coolers, to original equipment
manufacturers (“OEMs”) in the automotive, commercial vehicle, and off-highway markets in the Americas, Europe, and Asia
regions. In addition, the VTS segment designs customer-owned tooling for OEMs and also serves Brazil’s automotive and
commercial vehicle aftermarkets.
While the VTS segment provides customized production and service parts to customers under multi-year programs, these
programs typically do not contain contractually-guaranteed volumes to be purchased by the customer. As a result, individual
purchase orders typically represent the quantities ordered by the customer. With the exception of a small number of VTS
customers, the terms within the customer agreement, purchase order, or customer-owned tooling contract do not provide the
Company with an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. As a result, the VTS segment recognizes
revenue primarily at the time control is transferred to the customer based upon shipping terms, which is generally upon
shipment.
In regard to VTS customers with contractual cancellation terms that provide an enforceable right to payment for performance
completed to date, the Company recognizes revenue over time based upon its estimated progress towards satisfaction of the
performance obligations. The VTS segment measures progress by evaluating the production status of ordered products not yet
shipped to the customer.
For certain customer programs, the Company agrees to provide annual price reductions based upon contract terms. For these
scheduled price reductions, the Company evaluates whether the provisions represent a material right to the customer, and if so,
defers associated revenue as a result.
At times, the Company makes up-front incentive payments to certain customers related to future sales under multi-year
programs. The Company capitalizes these incentive payments, which it expects to recover through future sales, and amortizes
the assets as a reduction to revenue when the related products are sold to customers.
Commercial and Industrial Solutions (“CIS”)
The CIS segment principally generates revenue from providing thermal management products, including customized coils and
coolers, to the heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration (“HVAC&R”) markets in North America, Europe, and
Asia. In addition, the segment applies corrosion protection solutions, which are referred to as coatings, to heat-transfer
equipment.
For the sale of coils and coolers, individual customer purchase orders generally represent the Company’s contract with its
customers. With the exception of a small number of customers, the applicable customer contracts do not provide the Company
with an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. As a result, the CIS segment recognizes revenue for
its sale of coils and coolers primarily at the time control is transferred to the customer based upon shipping terms, which is
generally upon shipment.
For both sales to customers whose contract cancellation terms provide an enforceable right to payment and sales from the
coatings businesses, in which the customers control the heat-transfer equipment being enhanced by the coating application, the
CIS segment recognizes revenue over time based upon its estimated progress towards satisfaction of the performance
obligations. The segment measures progress by evaluating the production status towards completion of ordered products or
services not yet shipped to its customers.
Building HVAC Systems (“BHVAC”)
The BHVAC segment principally generates revenue from providing a variety of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning
products, primarily for commercial buildings and related applications in North America and the U.K., as well as mainland
Europe and the Middle East.
Heating products are manufactured in the U.S. and are generally sold to independent distributors, who in turn market the
heating products to end customers. Because these products are sold to many different customers without contractual or
practical limitations, the BHVAC segment recognizes revenue at the time control is transferred to the customer, generally the
independent distributor, based upon shipping terms, which is generally upon shipment.

MODINE MANUFACTURING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In millions, except per share amounts)
Ventilation and air conditioning products are highly-specified to a customer’s needs; however, the underlying sales contracts
do not provide the Company with an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. As a result, the
BHVAC segment recognizes revenue for these products at the time control is transferred to the customer based upon shipping
terms, which is generally upon shipment.

Contract assets, included within other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets, primarily consist of capitalized costs
related to customer-owned tooling contracts, wherein the customer has guaranteed reimbursement, and assets recorded for
revenue recognized over time, which represent the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not yet billed.
The $9.1 million increase in contract assets during fiscal 2019 was primarily related to contract assets totaling $7.4 million as
of March 31, 2019 for revenue recognized over time, which were recorded as a result of the Company’s adoption of the new
revenue recognition accounting guidance, and customer-owned tooling contracts, under which more costs were capitalized
than reimbursed.
Contract liabilities, included within other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, consist of payments received in
advance of satisfying performance obligations under customer contracts, including contracts for customer-owned tooling. The
$2.8 million decrease in contract liabilities during fiscal 2019 was primarily due to the Company’s satisfaction of performance
obligations under customer contracts for which payment had been received in advance.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Fair value measurements
are classified under the following hierarchy:
Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in
markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active
markets.
Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs are not observable.
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such measurements as Level 1.
In some cases, where market prices are not available, the Company uses observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value,
in which case the measurements are classified as Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, the
Company determines fair value based upon valuation models that use, where possible, market-based data such as interest rates,
yield curves or currency rates. These measurements are classified as Level 3.
The carrying values of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, trade accounts receivable, accounts
payable, and short-term debt approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company holds
trading securities in deferred compensation trusts to fund obligations under certain non-qualified deferred compensation plans.
The securities’ fair values, which are recorded as other noncurrent assets, are determined based upon quoted prices from active
markets and classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company’s deferred compensation obligations, which
are recorded as other noncurrent liabilities, are recorded at the fair values of the investments held by the trust. The fair values
of the Company’s trading securities and deferred compensation obligations each totaled $6.0 million and $5.8 million as of
March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is disclosed in Note 17.

The Company determined the fair value of money market investments to approximate their net asset values, without discounts
for credit quality or liquidity restrictions, and classified them within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company
determined the fair value of common stocks, pooled equity funds and pooled fixed-income funds based upon quoted prices
from active markets and classified them within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company determined the fair value of
certain common stocks, corporate bonds and U.S. government and agency securities based upon recent bid prices or the
average of recent bid and asking prices when available and, if not available, the Company valued them through matrix pricing
models developed by sources considered by management to be reliable. The Company classified these assets within Level 2
of the valuation hierarchy. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company held no Level 3 assets within its pension plans.
As a practical expedient, the Company valued certain investments, including pooled equity, fixed-income and real estate
funds, using their net asset value (NAV) per unit, and therefore, has not classified these investments within the fair value
hierarchy. The increase in investments valued at NAV in fiscal 2019 was associated with the Company’s revised target asset
allocations for its U.S. pension plan; see Note 18 for additional information. The terms and conditions for redemptions vary
for the investments valued at NAV. The real estate investment fund may be redeemed at any time with a 90-day notice period.
Other investments valued at NAV do not have restrictive redemption frequency or notice period requirements. The Company
does not intend to sell or otherwise dispose of these investments at prices different than the NAV per unit.
Note 5: Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s stock-based incentive programs consist of the following: (1) a long-term incentive compensation program for
officers and other executives that consists of stock awards, stock options, and performance-based stock awards granted for
retention and performance, (2) a discretionary equity program for other management and key employees, and (3) stock awards
for non-employee directors. The Company’s Board of Directors and the Officer Nomination and Compensation Committee, as
applicable, have discretionary authority to set the terms of the stock-based awards. Grants to employees during fiscal 2019
were issued under the Company’s 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan. At present, the Company accomplishes the fulfillment
of equity-based grants through the issuance of new common shares. As of March 31, 2019, approximately 2.7 million shares
authorized under the 2017 Incentive Compensation Plan remain available for future grants. Employee participants have the
opportunity to deliver back to the Company the number of shares from the vesting of stock awards sufficient to satisfy the
individual’s minimum tax withholding obligations. These shares are held as treasury shares. The Company recorded stock-
based compensation expense of $7.9 million, $9.5 million, and $7.4 million in fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Restricted Stock – Performance-Based Shares: The Company recorded $2.4 million, $4.4 million, and $2.5 million of
compensation expense related to performance-based stock awards in fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. At March 31,
2019, the Company had $2.4 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested performance-based
stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. The Company values
performance-based stock awards using the closing market price of its common shares on the date of grant.
Shares are earned under the performance portion of the restricted stock award program based upon the attainment of certain
financial goals over a three-year period and are awarded after the end of that three-year performance period, if the performance
targets have been achieved. The performance components of the program initiated in fiscal 2019 is based upon both a target
three-year average consolidated cash flow return on invested capital and a target three-year average annual revenue growth at
the end of a three-year performance period, commencing with the fiscal year of grant. The performance components of the
programs initiated in fiscal 2018 and 2017 were based upon both a target three-year average consolidated return on capital
employed and a target three-year average annual revenue growth at the end of a three-year performance period.
Note 6: Restructuring Activities
During fiscal 2019, restructuring and repositioning expenses primarily resulted from targeted headcount reductions in Europe
and the Americas within the VTS segment. These headcount reductions support the Company’s objective to reduce
operational and SG&A cost structures at certain locations. In addition, the Company is in process of transferring product lines
associated with the merger of its North American coils business into the CIS segment, in order to accelerate operational
improvements and organizational efficiencies.
During fiscal 2018, the Company ceased production at its Gailtal, Austria manufacturing facility, primarily to reduce excess
capacity and lower manufacturing costs in Europe. As a result of this facility closure, the Company recorded $8.3 million of
restructuring expenses within the CIS segment. These restructuring expenses primarily related to employee severance and
related benefits. Fiscal 2018 restructuring activities also included plant consolidation activities, targeted headcount reductions,
and certain product line transfers in Europe within the VTS segment. In addition, the Company recorded restructuring
expenses associated with the discontinuance of its geothermal product line within the BHVAC segment.
During fiscal 2017, the Company completed a voluntary retirement program for certain U.S. salaried employees and
implemented targeted headcount reductions at several locations, both in support of its objective to reduce operational and
SG&A cost structures. Also during fiscal 2017, the Company completed the transfer of production from its Washington, Iowa
manufacturing facility, which was closed and sold, to other VTS segment manufacturing facilities in North America.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Act.
Shortly after the Tax Act was enacted, the SEC issued accounting guidance which provided a one-year measurement period
during which a company could complete its accounting for the impacts of the Tax Act. To the extent a company’s accounting
for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act was incomplete, the company could determine a reasonable estimate for those
effects and record a provisional estimate in its financial statements. If a company could not determine a provisional estimate
to be included in the financial statements, it was to continue applying the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect
immediately prior to the Tax Act being enacted.
During fiscal 2018, the Company recorded provisional discrete tax charges totaling $38.0 million related to the Tax Act. The
Company adjusted its U.S. deferred tax assets by $19.0 million due to the reduction in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate. This
net reduction in deferred tax assets also included the estimated impact on the Company’s net state deferred tax assets. In
addition, the Company recorded a $19.0 million charge for the transition tax required under the Tax Act.
During fiscal 2019, the Company completed its accounting for the Tax Act, which resulted in an income tax benefit totaling
$7.7 million. The Company determined it will utilize its deferred tax attributes against the transition tax and finalized its fiscal
2018 U.S. federal income tax return. As a result, the Company decreased the provisional charge recorded for the reduction in
the U.S. federal corporate tax rate by $9.3 million, since more deferred tax assets were utilized to offset taxable income at a
higher fiscal 2018 U.S. federal corporate tax rate. The Company also decreased the transition tax liability to $18.9 million, a
reduction of $0.1 million. In addition, the Company recorded a charge of $1.7 million for a reduction to state deferred tax
assets.
The Tax Act included a new provision designed to tax global intangible low taxed income (“GILTI”) starting in fiscal 2019.
The Company elected to record the tax effects of the GILTI provision as a period expense in the applicable tax year.
The Company’s accounting policy is to allocate the income tax provision between net earnings and other comprehensive
income. The Company applies its accounting for income taxes by tax jurisdiction, and in periods in which there is a loss
before income taxes and pre-tax income in other comprehensive income, it first allocates the income tax provision to other
comprehensive income, and then records a related tax benefit in the income tax provision.

During fiscal 2019, the Company recorded income tax benefits totaling $7.7 million related to the Tax Act, as discussed
above; recorded income tax benefits totaling $14.5 million as a result of amending previous-year tax returns to recognize
foreign tax credits that are expected to be realized based upon future sources of income; and recorded a $2.5 million income
tax benefit related to a manufacturing deduction in the United States. Also in fiscal 2019, the Company changed its
determination of whether it was more likely than not certain deferred tax assets of two separate subsidiaries in a foreign
jurisdiction would be realized and, as a result, adjusted the respective valuation allowances and recorded an income tax benefit
totaling $1.0 million. In addition, the Company recorded a net increase of deferred tax asset valuation allowances totaling $4.3
million related to other tax jurisdictions and recorded a $2.2 million income tax benefit associated with the reduction in
unrecognized tax benefits resulting from a lapse in statutes of limitations.
During fiscal 2018, the Company recorded provisional charges totaling $38.0 million related to the Tax Act, as discussed
above, and recognized a $9.0 million Hungarian development tax credit. Also in fiscal 2018, the Company reversed a portion
of the valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets in a foreign jurisdiction after determining it was more likely than not
these assets would be realized, and, as a result, recorded an income tax benefit of $2.8 million. In addition, the Company
recorded a $1.8 million income tax benefit in fiscal 2018 associated with the reduction in unrecognized tax benefits resulting
from a lapse in statutes of limitations.
During fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $2.0 million on certain deferred tax assets in a foreign
jurisdiction after determining it was more likely than not the deferred tax assets would not be realized. Also during fiscal
2017, the Company recorded a net reduction of deferred tax asset valuation allowances totaling $1.8 million in other tax
jurisdictions.
The Company will continue to provide valuation allowances against its net deferred tax assets in each applicable tax
jurisdiction until the need for a valuation allowance is eliminated. The need for a valuation allowance is eliminated when the
Company determines it is more likely than not the deferred tax assets will be realized.

that, if not utilized against state apportioned taxable income, will expire between fiscal 2020 and 2039. In addition, the
Company had tax loss and foreign attribute carryforwards totaling $351.6 million in various tax jurisdictions throughout the
world. Certain of the carryforwards in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions are offset by valuation allowances. If not utilized
against taxable income, $9.7 million of these carryforwards will expire between fiscal 2020 and 2034, and $341.9 million,
mainly related to Germany and Italy, will not expire due to an unlimited carryforward period.
The Company’s practice and intention is to reinvest, with certain insignificant exceptions, the earnings of its non-U.S.
subsidiaries outside of the U.S., and therefore, the Company has not recorded foreign withholding taxes or deferred income
taxes for these earnings. The Company has estimated the net amount of unrecognized foreign withholding tax and deferred tax
liabilities would total approximately $7.0 million if the accumulated foreign earnings were distributed; however, the actual tax
cost would be dependent on circumstances existing when remittance occurs.

Indemnification agreements: From time to time, the Company provides indemnification agreements related to the sale or
purchase of an entity or facility. These indemnification agreements cover customary representations and warranties typically
provided in conjunction with such transactions, including income, sales, excise or other tax matters, environmental matters and
other third-party claims. The indemnification periods provided generally range from less than one year to fifteen years. In
addition, standard indemnification provisions reside in many commercial agreements to which the Company is a party and
relate to responsibility in the event of potential third-party claims. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding
indemnification obligations at March 31, 2019 was not material.
Commitments: At March 31, 2019, the Company had capital expenditure commitments of $23.6 million. Significant
commitments include tooling and equipment expenditures for new and renewal programs with customers in the VTS segment.
The Company utilizes inventory arrangements with certain vendors in the normal course of business under which the vendors
maintain inventory stock at the Company’s facilities or at outside facilities. Title passes to the Company at the time goods are
withdrawn for use in production. The Company has agreements with the vendors to use the material within a specific period
of time. In some cases, the Company bears the risk of loss for the inventory because Modine is required to insure the
inventory against damage and/or theft. This inventory is included within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as raw
materials inventory.

The Company maintains a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks that provides for both U.S. dollar- and euro-
denominated term loan facilities and a multi-currency $175.0 million revolving credit facility expiring in November 2021.
Based upon the terms of the credit agreement and currency denomination, borrowings under both the term loans and revolving
credit facility bear interest at a variable rate, primarily either the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or Euro Interbank
Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”), plus 137.5 to 250 basis points depending on the Company’s leverage ratio, as described below.
At March 31, 2019, the weighted-average interest rates for the outstanding term loans and the revolving credit facility
borrowings were 3.3 percent and 3.7 percent, respectively.
At March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company reported its revolving credit facility borrowings of $47.1 million and $21.3
million, respectively, as short-term debt on the consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2019, domestic letters of credit
totaled $4.3 million, resulting in available borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility of $123.6 million. The
Company also maintains credit agreements for its foreign subsidiaries, with outstanding short-term borrowings at March 31,
2019 and 2018 of $18.9 million and $31.9 million, respectively.
Provisions in the Company’s credit agreement, Senior Note agreements, and various foreign credit agreements require the
Company to maintain compliance with various covenants and include certain cross-default clauses. Under its primary debt
agreements in the U.S., the Company has provided liens on substantially all domestic assets. In addition, as specified in the
credit agreement, the term loans may require prepayments in the event the Company’s annual excess cash flow exceeds
defined levels, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, or in the event of certain asset sales. The Company is also
subject to leverage ratio covenants, the most restrictive of which requires the Company to limit its consolidated indebtedness,
less a portion of its cash balance, both as defined by the credit agreements, to no more than three and one-quarter times
consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and certain other adjustments (“Adjusted
EBITDA”). The Company is also subject to an interest expense coverage ratio covenant, which requires the Company to
maintain Adjusted EBITDA of at least three times consolidated interest expense. The Company was in compliance with its
debt covenants as of March 31, 2019.

The Company estimates the fair value of long-term debt using discounted future cash flows at rates offered to the Company for
similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the carrying value of the Company’s long-
term debt approximated fair value, with the exception of the Senior Notes, which had an aggregate fair value of approximately
$137.2 million and $153.1 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is categorized as Level 2
within the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 4 for the definition of a Level 2 fair value measurement.
Note 18: Pension and Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Contribution Employee Benefit Plans:
The Company maintains a domestic 401(k) plan that allows employees to contribute a portion of their salary to help them save
for retirement. The Company currently matches employee contributions up to 4.5 percent of their compensation for
participants. The Company’s expense for defined contribution employee benefit plans during fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017 was
$6.4 million, $5.2 million, and $4.7 million, respectively.
In addition, the Company maintains non-qualified deferred compensation plans for eligible employees, and various non-U.S.
subsidiaries have government-required defined contribution plans in place, under which they contribute a percentage of
employee earnings into accounts, consistent with local laws.
Statutory Termination Plans:
Certain non-U.S. subsidiaries have statutory termination indemnity plans covering eligible employees. The benefits under
these plans are based upon years of service and final average compensation levels or a monthly retirement benefit amount.
These programs are substantially unfunded in accordance with local laws.
Defined Benefit Employee Benefit Plans:
Pension plans: The Company maintains non-contributory defined benefit pension plans that cover eligible domestic
employees. These plans are closed to new participants. The primary domestic plans cover most domestic employees hired on
or before December 31, 2003 and provide benefits based primarily upon years of service and average compensation for
salaried and some hourly employees. Benefits for other hourly employees are based upon a monthly retirement benefit
amount. Currently, the Company’s domestic pension plans do not include increases in annual earnings or future service in
calculating the average annual earnings and years of credited service under the pension plan benefit formula. Certain non-U.S.
subsidiaries of the Company also have legacy defined benefit plans which cover a smaller number of active employees and are
substantially unfunded. The primary non-U.S. plans are maintained in Germany, Austria, and Italy and are closed to new
participants.
The Company contributed $8.0 million, $13.4 million, and $8.1 million to its U.S. pension plans during fiscal 2019, 2018, and
2017, respectively. In addition, the Company contributed $5.9 million, $2.6 million, and $1.4 million to its non-U.S. pension
plans during fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. These contributions are reported in the change in other liabilities in the
consolidated statements of cash flows.
Postretirement plans: The Company provides selected healthcare and life insurance benefits for eligible retired domestic
employees. The Company periodically amends these unfunded plans to change the contribution rate of retirees and the
amounts and forms of coverage. An annual limit on the Company’s cost is defined for the majority of these plans. The
Company’s net periodic income for its postretirement plans during fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017 was $0.3 million, $0.2 million,
and $0.3 million, respectively.
Measurement date: The Company uses March 31 as the measurement date for its pension and postretirement plans.

(a) During fiscal 2018, the Company recorded a pension curtailment gain associated with the closure of a manufacturing
facility in Austria (CIS segment). See Note 6 for additional information regarding the closure of this facility.
As of March 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, the benefit obligation associated with the Company’s non-U.S. pension plans totaled
$36.5 million, $43.4 million, and $39.3 million respectively. In fiscal 2019, the $6.9 million decrease primarily resulted from
employer contributions of $5.9 million for benefits paid to plan participants during the year and the impact of foreign currency
exchange rate changes, partially offset by service and interest cost totaling $1.1 million. In fiscal 2018, the $4.1 million
increase primarily resulted from the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and service and interest cost totaling
$1.3 million, partially offset by $2.6 million of benefits paid to plan participants.
The accumulated benefit obligation for pension plans was $256.9 million and $271.8 million as of March 31, 2019 and 2018,
respectively. The net actuarial loss related to the pension plans recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss was
$159.1 million and $157.9 million as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The expected rate of return on U.S. plan assets is based upon historical return experience and forward-looking return
expectations for major asset class categories. For fiscal 2019, 2018, and 2017 U.S. pension plan expense, the expected rate of
return on plan assets was 7.5 percent, 7.5 percent and 8.0 percent, respectively. For fiscal 2020 U.S. pension plan expense, the
Company has assumed a rate of return on plan assets of 7.5 percent.
The Company’s funding policy for its U.S. pension plans is to contribute annually, at a minimum, the amount necessary on an
actuarial basis to provide for benefits in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The Company expects to contribute
approximately $3.0 million to these plans during fiscal 2020.

Note 19: Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments from time to time as a tool to manage certain financial risks. The
Company’s policy prohibits the use of leveraged derivatives. Accounting for derivatives and hedging activities requires
derivative financial instruments to be measured at fair value and recognized as assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance
sheets. Accounting for the gain or loss resulting from the change in fair value of the derivative financial instruments depends
on whether it has been designated as a hedge, and, if so, on the nature of the hedging activity.
Commodity derivatives: The Company periodically enters into over-the-counter forward contracts related to forecasted
purchases of aluminum and copper. The Company’s strategy in entering into these contracts is to reduce its exposure to
changing market prices of these commodities. In fiscal 2019 and 2018, the Company designated certain commodity forward
contracts as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, for these designated hedges, the Company records
unrealized gains and losses related to the change in the fair value of the contracts in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) (“AOCI”) within shareholders’ equity and subsequently recognizes the gains and losses within cost of sales as the
underlying inventory is sold. The Company did not designate commodity contracts entered into in fiscal 2017 for hedge
accounting. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses on those contracts were recorded within cost of sales.
Foreign exchange contracts: The Company’s foreign exchange risk management strategy uses derivative financial
instruments to mitigate foreign currency exchange risk. The Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward
contracts to hedge specific foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities as well as forecasted transactions. In fiscal
2019 and 2018, the Company designated certain hedges of forecasted transactions as cash flow hedges for accounting
purposes. Accordingly, for these designated hedges, the Company records unrealized gains and losses related to the change in
the fair value of the contracts in AOCI within shareholders’ equity and subsequently recognizes the gains and losses as a
component of earnings at the same time and in the same financial statement line that the underlying transactions impact
earnings. The Company has not designated forward contracts related to foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities as
hedges. Accordingly, for these non-designated contracts, the Company records unrealized gains and losses related to changes
in fair value in other income and expense. Gains and losses on these foreign currency contracts are offset by foreign currency
gains and losses associated with the related assets and liabilities.

The Company manages credit risk through its focus on the following:
Cash and investments – reviewing cash deposits and short-term investments to ensure banks have credit ratings
acceptable to the Company and that short-term investments are maintained in secured or guaranteed instruments;
Accounts receivable – performing periodic customer credit evaluations and actively monitoring their financial
condition and applicable business news;
Pension assets – ensuring that investments within pension plans provide appropriate diversification, monitoring of
investment teams, ensuring that portfolio managers adhere to the Company’s investment policies and directives, and
ensuring that exposure to high risk investments is limited; and
Insurance – ensuring that insurance providers maintain financial ratings that are acceptable to the Company.
Counterparty Risk
The Company manages counterparty risk through its focus on the following:
Customers – performing thorough reviews of customer credit reports and accounts receivable aging reports by
internal credit committees;
Suppliers – maintaining a supplier risk management program and utilizing industry sources to identify and mitigate
high risk situations; and
Derivatives – ensuring that counterparties to derivative instruments maintain credit ratings that are acceptable to the
Company.
Environmental
The Company has recorded environmental investigation and remediation accruals related to soil and groundwater
contamination at manufacturing facilities in the United States, one of which the Company currently owns and operates, and at
its former manufacturing facility in the Netherlands, along with accruals for lesser environmental matters at certain other
facilities in the United States and Brazil. These accruals generally relate to facilities where past operations followed practices
and procedures that were considered acceptable under then-existing regulations, or where the Company is a successor to the
obligations of prior owners, and current laws and regulations require investigative and/or remedial work to ensure sufficient
environmental compliance. The accruals for these environmental matters totaled $18.9 million and $16.7 million at March 31,
2019 and 2018, respectively. As additional information becomes available, the Company will re-assess the liabilities related to
these matters and revise the estimated accruals, if necessary. Based upon currently available information, the Company
believes the ultimate outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its
financial position. However, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable outcomes could occur,
including significant monetary damages.
Other Litigation
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in various lawsuits and
enforcement proceedings by private parties, governmental agencies and/or others in which claims are asserted against Modine.
In the opinion of management, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such lawsuits or proceedings are not
expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Modine Manufacturing Company
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, as listed in the index appearing under
Item 15(a)(1), and the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2), of Modine
Manufacturing Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial
statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019, based on
criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended March 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control
over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework
(2013) issued by the COSO.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for
the income tax effects of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory in 2019.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal
control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting,
included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our
responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal
control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in
accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained
in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that
respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial
statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and
that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
76
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Conclusion Regarding Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, management of the Company, at the direction of the
General Counsel and under the supervision, and with the participation, of the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer
and Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures, at a reasonable assurance level, as defined in the Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based
upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at a reasonable assurance level, as of March
31, 2019.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s
President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, and effected by the Company's
board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of its financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of
the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that
could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial
reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management, with the participation of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President, Finance and
Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31,
2019. In making its assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013).” Based upon this assessment, management
concluded that, as of March 31, 2019, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2019 has been audited by
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
