Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1: Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Operations Modine Manufacturing Company (“Modine” or the “Company”) specializes in providing innovative and environmentally responsible thermal management products and solutions to diversified global markets and customers in a wide array of commercial, industrial, and building heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration (“HVAC&R”) markets. In addition, 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. The Company’s primary product groups include i) heat transfer; ii) HVAC & refrigeration; iii) data center cooling; iv) air-cooled; v) liquid-cooled; and vi) advanced solutions. Disposition of Austrian Air-cooled Automotive Business in Fiscal 2022 On April 30, 2021, the Company sold i ts Austrian a In connection with the sale of this business, the Company provided the buyer with a 5-year, €4.0 million loan facility. Borrowings under the agreement currently bear interest at 5.4 percent. During fiscal 2022, the Company disbursed €4.0 million ($4.7 million) to the buyer under this facility. At both March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded the loan receivable within other noncurrent assets on its consolidated balance sheet because the Company expects to receive the principal repayment more than twelve months from the balance sheet date. Disposition of Previously-Closed Facility in Fiscal 2022 During fiscal 2022, the Company sold a previously-closed manufacturing facility in the U.S. and received net cash proceeds of $0.7 million. As a result of the sale, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $0.3 million within the Climate Solutions segment to write down the property to fair value less costs to sell. Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) Transition in Fiscal 2021 In August 2020 Thomas A. Burke stepped down from his position as President and CEO. The Board of Directors subsequently conducted a search for his successor and, effective December 1, 2020 appointed Neil D. Brinker as President and CEO. As a result of Mr. Burke’s departure and in connection with the search for and transition to his successor, the Company recorded costs totaling during fiscal 2021 These costs, which were recorded as selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses at Corporate, primarily consisted of severance and benefit-related expenses based upon the terms of Mr. Burke’s transition and separation agreement and costs directly associated with the CEO search, partially offset by the impact of Mr. Burke’s forfeited stock-based compensation awards. 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. 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 toward 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 maintains an allowance for credit losses, representing its estimate of expected losses associated with its trade accounts receivable. The Company bases its estimate using historical loss experience and considers the aging of the receivables and risks specific to customers where appropriate. At March 31, 2023 and 2022, the allowance for credit losses was $2.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively. The changes to the Company’s allowance for credit losses during fiscal 2023 and 2022 were not material and primarily consisted of current-period provisions, write-offs charged against the allowance, recoveries collected, and foreign currency translation. 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 2023, 2022, and 2021, the Company sold $150.6 million, $126.4 million, and $88.7 million, respectively, of accounts receivable to accelerate cash receipts. During fiscal 2023, 2022, and 2021, the Company recorded costs totaling related to selling accounts receivable 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 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 15 for additional information. Tooling 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 . At March 31, 2023 and 2022 Company-owned tooling totaled and , respectively. In certain instances, tooling is owned by the customer. 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. If the customer has agreed to reimburse the Company, unbilled customer-owned tooling costs are recorded as a receivable within other current assets. No significant arrangements exist where customer-owned tooling costs were not accompanied by guaranteed reimbursement. At March 31, 2023 and 2022 customer-owned tooling receivables totaled and , 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 SG&A expenses. During fiscal , research and development costs totaled Translation of Foreign Currencies The Company translates assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries 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. The Company records the tax effects of global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) as a period expense in the applicable tax year. The Company uses the portfolio approach for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). 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. 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. Short-term Investments The Company invests in time deposits with original maturities of more than three months but not 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, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s short-term investments totaled $3.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively. 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 expenses maintenance and repair costs 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 , and were accrued within accounts payable at March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 respectively. Leases The Company’s most significant leases represent leases of real estate, such as manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and office buildings. The Company also leases manufacturing and information technology equipment and vehicles. The Company recognizes right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities at the lease commencement date, based upon the present value of lease payments over the lease term. See Note 16 for additional information. 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, 2023 and determined the fair value of each of its reporting units exceeded the respective book value. See Note 14 for additional information. I mpairment of Held and Used Long-lived Assets The Company reviews held and used 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 classifies an asset as held for sale when (i) 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; (ii) the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the sale have been initiated; (iv) the sale of the asset is expected to be completed within one year; and (v) it is unlikely that significant changes will be made to the plan. Upon classification as held for sale, the Company records the carrying value of the asset at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value, less costs to sell. In addition, the Company ceases to record depreciation for assets held for sale. See Note 2 for additional information. 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 cost of sales or SG&A expenses. 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. S upplemental Cash Flow Information Years ended March 31, 2023 2022 2021 Interest paid $ 18.4 $ 14.1 $ 17.9 Income taxes paid 31.9 21.8 19.7 See Note for supplemental cash flow information related to the Company’s leases. New Accounting Guidance Supplier Finance Programs In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance that will require companies that use supplier finance programs to disclose information about the programs, including key terms, outstanding obligations under such programs and where outstanding amounts are presented within their financial statements. In addition, a roll forward of obligations under supplier finance programs will be required annually. The new guidance is effective for the Company’s fiscal 2024 financial statements, with the exception of the roll forward disclosure requirement, which will become effective one year later. The Company is currently evaluating the new disclosures, but does not expect the guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Income Tax Simplification In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance designed to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The new guidance eliminated certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocations and the methodology for deferred tax liabilities. The Company adopted this guidance as of April 1, 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance related to the accounting for credit losses for certain financial assets, including trade accounts receivable and contract assets. The new guidance modified the credit loss model to measure and recognize credit losses based upon expected losses rather than incurred losses. The Company adopted this guidance as of April 1, 2020. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations or statements of cash flows. |
