Business Highlights

Financial overview - Consolidated (Fiscal Years Ended March 31)

in million dollars FY2006 FY2005 Factors
Overall
Sales 1,757 1,629

The increase in revenues was driven by $77 million of acquired revenues related to the May 2006 acquisition of Modine Brazil, $36 million related to favorable impact of changing foreign currency exchange rates and $15 million of organic growth. Organic revenues were driven by strength in truck and heavy-duty and industrial markets. Strong sales in the European automotive, North American truck and global heavy duty markets were offset by moderate declines in the North American automotive market, based on continued softness experienced in the market and overall price down pressures reducing sales prices per unit.

Operating Income 40 90 - The decrease in gross profit combined with the increase in SG&A expenses contributed to the $50 million decrease in operating income from $90 million in FY2005 to $40 million in FY2006.
