Modine Manufacturing Company (NYSE: MOD) reports a Q2 loss of $0.15, 1 cent better than estimates. Revenues were $282.3 million vs. $265.74 million consensus.

While Modine is anticipating modest sales volume improvement in certain key markets and improved commercial vehicle build rates in North America, the sluggish economy continues to have an adverse effect on the company. The company’s expectations for the remainder of fiscal 2010 include:

Revenues slightly higher than the second quarter 2010 run rate based on program launches and modest end-market improvements; Increased manufacturing costs based on higher material costs and the impact of expected production inefficiencies driven by new program launches and plant closure activities, all of which will put pressure on the company’s gross margin; SG&A costs relatively consistent at a quarterly run rate of approximately $40 million; Planned capital spending of approximately $30 million; and Positive free cash flow and a decrease in net debt balances over the remainder of the fiscal year, further improving the company’s liquidity.
