"We are very pleased with our second quarter results, which well exceeded our expectations. Higher than anticipated sales combined with cost reduction measures allowed us to deliver much improved margins, earnings and cash flow," said Modine Interim Chief Executive Officer, Michael B. (Mick) Lucareli. "We are seeing slow but steady recovery in most of our end markets and geographies. This, along with continued controls over capex spending and positive working capital performance, led to record cash flow this quarter. We also recently announced that we reached a definitive agreement to sell the majority of our automotive business to Dana Incorporated. This is a critical step in our strategic transformation and allows us to avoid significant liabilities and cash investments to complete necessary restructuring in our automotive business."
