- Vehicular Thermal Solutions ("VTS") segment now managed and reported as two separate segments, Heavy Duty Equipment ("HDE") and Automotive
"The severe drop in customer demand and resulting plant shutdowns in the first quarter caused by COVID-19 appears to be behind us, but many of our manufacturing facilities continue to operate at well below normal capacity," said Modine Interim Chief Executive Officer, Michael B. (Mick) Lucareli. "The revenue decline in the first quarter was in line with our expectations, and our earnings and cash flows benefited from the swift and decisive cost saving actions we took in March and April. We have completed the separation of the automotive business into the standalone Automotive segment and are running the business to maximize returns and cash flows. We are reengaged with potential buyers of our automotive business as we continue to move towards an eventual exit."

First Quarter Segment Review
- CIS segment sales were
$122.5 million , compared with$168.8 million one year ago, a decrease of 27 percent. This decrease was driven by lower sales to commercial HVAC, refrigeration and data center customers, but was partially offset by slightly higher sales to industrial customers. The segment reported gross margin of 12.6 percent, down 180 basis points compared with the prior year, primarily due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by the positive impact of cost savings initiatives and favorable sales mix. The segment was breakeven at the operating earnings level, down$9.0 million , primarily due to lower gross profit and higher restructuring expenses, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses as compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the CIS segment was$8.6 million , a decrease of$6.5 million from the prior year.
- BHVAC segment sales were
$47.6 million , compared with$49.0 million one year ago, a decrease of 3 percent. This decrease was driven primarily by lower sales of heating and ventilation products, but was partially offset by higher sales to data center customers in the U.K. The segment reported gross margin of 30.5 percent, which was 260 basis points higher than the prior year, primarily due to favorable customer pricing, materials and labor costs. The segment reported operating income of$7.1 million , an increase of$1.8 million , primarily due to higher gross profit and lower SG&A expenses resulting from costs savings initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA for the BHVAC segment was$7.9 million , an increase of$1.8 million , or 30 percent, from the prior year.
- HDE segment sales were
$123.5 million , compared with$216.4 million one year ago, a decrease of 43 percent. This decrease was driven by lower sales to all end markets around the world, largely as the result of lower end market demand. The segment reported gross margin of 9.2 percent, down 580 basis points from the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume partially offset by the benefit of cost saving initiatives. The segment's operating loss of$2.5 million decreased$19.8 million compared to operating income of$17.3 million in the prior year. This decrease was primarily due to lower gross profit on the lower sales volume, partially offset by lower SG&A expense as compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the HDE segment was$5.5 million , a decrease of$18.7 million from the prior year.
- Automotive segment sales were
$62.1 million , compared with$113.6 million one year ago, a decrease of 45 percent. This decrease was driven by lower sales in Europe and North America due to lower end market demand. The segment reported gross margin of 7.7 percent, down 330 basis points compared with the prior year, primarily due to lower sales volumes, partially offset by performance improvements and favorable materials. The segment's operating loss of$3.8 million was down$3.8 million , primarily due to lower gross profit partially offset by lower SG&A and restructuring expenses as compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the Automotive segment was$1.4 million , a decrease of$5.1 million from the prior year.

Outlook
Lucareli concluded, "We maintain a strong financial position, a disciplined approach to cost management, and our global teams remain in frequent communication with our customers who are all beginning to recover at various speeds. Although we are growing more confident in our short-term customer order book, the medium- and long-term outlooks remain highly unpredictable. We currently expect that our first quarter sales will serve as the trough of our quarterly performance this year, and expect to see incremental revenue and earnings improvements each quarter throughout fiscal 2021."

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosures
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share, net debt, and free cash flow (which are defined below) as used in this press release are not measures that are defined in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are used by management as performance measures to evaluate the company's overall financial performance and liquidity. We believe these measures provide a more consistent view of performance than the closest GAAP equivalent for management and investors. Management compensates for this by using these measures in combination with the GAAP measures. However, these measures are not, and should not be viewed, as substitutes for the applicable GAAP measures, and may be different from similarly-titled measures used by other companies.
Definition – Adjusted EBITDA
Net earnings excluding interest expense, the provision or benefit for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, other income and expense, restructuring expenses, impairment charges, costs associated with the review of strategic alternatives for and separation and potential sale of the automotive business, and certain other gains or charges. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA provides a relevant measure of profitability and earnings power. The Company views this financial metric as being useful to assess operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that it believes are not representative of its core business. Adjusted EBITDA, when calculated for the business segments, is defined as GAAP operating income excluding depreciation and amortization expenses, restructuring expenses, impairment charges, and certain other gains or charges.
Definition – Adjusted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share plus restructuring expenses, impairment charges, costs associated with the review of strategic alternatives for and separation and potential sale of the automotive business, and excluding certain other gains or charges. Adjusted earnings per share is an overall performance measure, not including non-cash impairment charges, costs associated with restructuring activities and certain other gains or charges.
Definition – Net debt
The sum of debt due within one year and long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents. This is an indicator of the company's debt position after considering on-hand cash balances.
Definition – Free cash flow
Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less expenditures for property, plant and equipment. This measure presents cash generated from operations during the period that is available for strategic capital decisions.
