Spin-off of Performance Technologies business
Current report
On October 1, 2026, we completed the previously-announced spin-off of our Performance Technologies business, which was contributed to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Platinum SpinCo Inc. (“SpinCo”) prior to its spin-off and combination with Gentherm Incorporated (“Gentherm”) in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. Gentherm, a Michigan-based corporation, is a global leader of innovative thermal management and pneumatic comfort technologies. We have retained our Data Centers and Commercial HVAC segment businesses, creating a pure-play climate solutions company.
Current report
As a result of the merger, our shareholders received newly-issued Gentherm stock, representing post-transaction ownership of approximately 44 percent of Gentherm. Immediately prior to transaction closing, we received a cash distribution of $156.0 million from SpinCo. In addition, we received a cash transfer of $42.6 million from SpinCo, which was based primarily upon estimates of SpinCo’s net working capital, cash, and indebtedness, each as defined in the Separation Agreement. The cash transfer amount is subject to post-closing adjustment provisions of the Separation Agreement. We used the cash received in October 2026 to repay $198.6 million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. SpinCo financed the cash payments through the issuance of $250.0 million of third-party debt on October 1, 2026, which was then transferred to Gentherm as part of the transaction.
Current report
In the third quarter of fiscal 2027, we will derecognize SpinCo’s net assets against shareholders’ equity. As a result of this distribution, no gain or loss will be recognized in our consolidated statement of operations. In addition, the Reverse Morris Trust transaction was structured to be generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the Company and our shareholders. We will report the Performance Technologies business as a discontinued operation starting with the third quarter of fiscal 2027.
Current report
We recently announced that, subject to shareholder approval and the completion of other regulatory steps, we intend to change the name of our company to Modexus Solutions, Inc. Our common stock will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under our current ticker symbol, “MOD.” As part of the spin-off transaction, Gentherm acquired the Modine brand, domains, and trademarks and the Performance Technologies business will continue to go to market as Modine. We will continue using the Modine brand in certain businesses (the Heat Transfer Solutions and HVAC Technologies businesses within our Commercial HVAC segment) under a license with Gentherm.

Second quarter highlights
Current report
Net sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2027 increased $255.5 million, or 35 percent, from the second quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to higher sales in our Data Centers and Commercial HVAC segments. Cost of sales increased $215.0 million, or 37 percent. Gross profit increased $40.5 million. Gross margin declined 160 basis points to 20.7 percent, primarily due to lower gross margin in the Data Centers segment, largely driven by higher material costs. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $20.4 million, primarily due to $14.1 million of disposition-related costs and higher compensation-related expenses. Operating income of $97.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2027 increased $24.3 million from the prior year, primarily due to higher gross profit and the absence of a $4.1 million impairment charge recorded in the prior year, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.
Current report
Year-to-date highlights
Current report
Second quarter net sales of $994.4 million were $255.5 million, or 35 percent, higher than the second quarter of the prior year, primarily due to $214.7 million of higher sales in our Data Centers segment, primarily driven by sales growth to hyperscale data center customers in North America. In addition, sales in our Commercial HVAC segment increased $52.6 million, primarily driven by higher sales of heat transfer solutions and HVAC technologies products. Foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted sales by $3.0 million.
Current report
Second quarter cost of sales increased $215.0 million, or 37 percent, primarily due to higher sales volume and approximately $40.0 million of higher material costs, including higher component and raw material costs and tariffs. Cost of sales was favorably impacted by $2.5 million from foreign currency exchange rates. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales increased 160 basis points to 79.3 percent, primarily due to the higher material costs, partially offset by higher average selling prices.
Current report
Second quarter SG&A expenses increased $20.4 million, or 24 percent. As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased 90 basis points. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily driven by $14.1 million of costs incurred related to the Reverse Morris Trust transaction with Gentherm. In addition, compensation-related expenses increased approximately $6.0 million and included increases in the Data Centers segment, supporting the segment’s growth. These drivers, which increased SG&A expenses, were partially offset by lower costs associated with acquisition activities, which decreased $2.3 million.
Current report
Restructuring expenses decreased $0.1 million compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to lower severance expenses in the Commercial HVAC segment, partially offset by higher costs related to transferring production for certain product lines in the Performance Technologies segment.
Current report
During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded a $4.1 million non-cash impairment charge to reduce the carrying value of a technical service center and administrative support facility in Germany to estimated fair value, less costs to sell. We expect to sell the facility by the end of calendar 2026.
Current report
Other net expenses of $1.3 million decreased $0.2 million compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily due to lower pension benefit costs, which decreased $1.2 million, as we completed the termination of our primary U.S. pension plan during the third quarter of fiscal 2026. This decrease was partially offset by foreign currency transaction losses, which increased $0.9 million.
Current report
The provision for income taxes was $57.7 million and $18.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2027 and 2026, respectively. The $38.8 million increase was primarily due to $29.5 million of income tax expense recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2027 related to legal entity restructuring and unfavorable changes in the mix and amount of foreign and U.S. earnings. In preparation for the Reverse Morris Trust transaction with Gentherm, we completed several legal entity restructuring steps during the second quarter of fiscal 2027 to separate the Performance Technologies business from our other businesses. In addition, income tax detriments related to non-deductible compensation increased $5.4 million compared with the same period in the prior year. These drivers, which increased the current-year tax provision, were partially offset by the absence of impacts associated with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which increased tax expense during the second quarter of 2026 by $3.1 million.
Current report
As a result of higher sales and higher cost of sales as a percentage of sales, gross profit increased $57.1 million, or 17 percent, and gross margin declined 250 basis points to 20.7 percent.
Current report
During the second quarter of fiscal 2026, we recorded a $4.1 million non-cash impairment charge related to a technical service center and administrative support facility in Germany. We expect to sell the facility by the end of calendar 2026.
Current report

Current report
Data Centers cost of sales increased $183.0 million, or 108 percent, from the second quarter of fiscal 2026 to the second quarter of fiscal 2027, primarily due to higher sales volume and higher material costs, which increased approximately $27.0 million. In addition, cost of sales was impacted by temporary operating inefficiencies, including the impact of supplier constraints for certain key components. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales increased 470 basis points to 80.3 percent, primarily due to higher material costs and the operating inefficiencies associated with the business’s rapid growth and the supplier capacity constraints.
Current report
As a result of the higher sales and increased cost of sales as a percentage of sales, gross profit increased $31.7 million, or 58 percent, and gross margin declined 470 basis points to 19.7 percent.

Current report
Data Centers year-to-date net sales increased $379.6 million, or 93 percent, from the same period last year, primarily due to higher sales volume in North America, driven by sales growth to hyperscale customers. This increase was partially offset by a $2.1 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates.

Commercial HVAC net sales increased $52.6 million, or 23 percent, from the second quarter of fiscal 2026 to the second quarter of fiscal 2027, primarily due to higher sales volume and higher average selling prices. These increases were partially offset by a $1.1 million unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange rates. Compared with the second quarter of the prior year, sales of heat transfer solutions and HVAC technologies products increased $23.6 million and $15.7 million, respectively. The higher heat transfer solutions product sales were primarily driven by higher sales of heat exchanger coils to customers in the data center market. The higher HVAC technologies product sales were primarily driven by higher sales of heating products.
Current report
As a result of the higher sales and higher cost of sales as a percentage of sales, gross profit increased $8.9 million, or 16 percent, and gross margin declined 140 basis points to 23.1 percent.
Current report
Commercial HVAC SG&A expenses increased $2.1 million, or 7 percent, compared with the second quarter of the prior year. As apercentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased 150 basis points.

Pending Reverse Morris Trust Transaction
Previous report
We have entered into definitive agreements with Gentherm Incorporated (“Gentherm”), whereby we will spin-off and simultaneously combine our Performance Technologies segment businesses with Gentherm in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. We anticipate this transaction will close by the end of calendar 2026, subject to approval by Gentherm’s shareholders and other customary closing conditions. The transaction is intended to establish Gentherm as a scaled leader in thermal management. We will retain our Data Centers and Commercial HVAC segment businesses, creating a pure-play climate solutions company.

Previous report
Restructuring expenses decreased $1.8 million compared with the first quarter of the prior year, primarily due to lower severance expenses, partially offset by higher costs related to transferring production for certain product lines.
Previous report
Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $41.4 million, which represents a $13.7 million increase compared with the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to favorable net changes in working capital. Decreases in accounts receivable, primarily driven by a sequential decrease in net sales from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, and higher accounts payable levels favorably impacted operating cash flow during the first quarter of fiscal 2027. Our Data Centers segment production schedules were negatively impacted by supplier capacity constraints during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and contributed to the sequential sales decrease. We have been and will continue to take actions to secure supply, including working with current partners and qualifying additional suppliers. These actions began yielding positive results over the course of the first quarter. The favorable working capital drivers were partially offset by increases in inventory to support expected sales growth in our Data Centers segment, and higher contract assets related to revenue recognized over time.

Under the terms of the agreements, at the time of the spin-off of our Performance Technologies segment businesses, our shareholders will receive newly-issued Gentherm stock, representing ownership of approximately 40 percent of the combined company. In addition, immediately prior to transaction closing, we will receive cash proceeds of $210.0 million, subject to adjustment, which we will use to pay down our long-term debt obligations. Based upon the Gentherm stock price, the transaction was valued at approximately $1.0 billion when we entered into the agreements in January 2026. The Reverse Morris Trust transaction is structured to be generally tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the Company and our shareholders. To facilitate this transaction, we have incurred expenses to separate the Performance Technologies business, including fees for transaction advisory, legal, accounting, tax, and other professional services. Through June 30, 2026, we have incurred disposition-related costs totaling $22.1 million. We estimate that we will incur $25.0 million to $35.0 million of additional costs directly related to the transaction during the remainder of fiscal 2027.

The benefit for income taxes was $5.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, compared with a provision for income taxes of $14.0 million in the same period in the prior year. The $19.7 million change was primarily due to $26.5 million of tax benefits related to stock-based compensation awards, partially offset by a $3.8 million income tax detriment related to nondeductible compensation in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and changes in the mix and amount of foreign and U.S. earnings, as compared with the same period in the prior year. The tax benefits related to stock-based compensation awards were primarily driven by performance-based stock awards granted in fiscal 2024, for which shares were issued during the first quarter of fiscal 2027. We expect the benefit from the $26.5 million of tax benefits recorded in the first quarter will be largely offset by tax detriments related to nondeductible compensation during the remainder of fiscal 2027. As a result, we do not expect that our full-year fiscal 2027 effective tax rate will be impacted significantly.
Current wording
The provision for income taxes was $52.0 million and $32.9 million during the first six months of fiscal 2027 and 2026, respectively. The $19.1 million increase was primarily due to $29.5 million of income tax expense recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2027 related to legal entity restructuring, unfavorable changes in the mix and amount of foreign and U.S. earnings, and income tax detriments related to non-deductible compensation, which were $8.0 million higher than the same period in the prior year. These drivers, which increased the current-year tax provision, were partially offset by $26.5 million of income tax benefits recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 related to stock-based compensation awards and the absence of impacts associated with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which increased tax expense during the second quarter of 2026 by $3.1 million. The tax benefits related to stock-based compensation awards were primarily driven by performance-based stock awards granted in fiscal 2024, for which shares were issued during the first quarter of fiscal 2027. We expect that income tax detriments related to non-deductible compensation during the remainder of fiscal 2027 will be higher than the comparable prior-year period and will largely offset the income tax benefits related to stock-based compensation awards recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2027. As a result, we do not expect the tax benefits related to stock-based compensation will significantly impact our full-year fiscal 2027 effective tax rate.

Previous wording
Data Centers cost of sales increased $149.3 million, or 116 percent, from the first quarter of fiscal 2026 to the first quarter of fiscal 2027, primarily due to higher sales volume and higher material costs, which increased approximately $16.0 million. We also incurred higher expenses related to the rapid expansion of manufacturing capacity in the U.S. and our production schedules were temporarily disrupted during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 due to supplier capacity constraints for certain key components, which resulted in unfavorable absorption of manufacturing overhead, facility, and labor costs. We have been and will continue to take actions to secure supply, including working with current partners and qualifying additional suppliers. These actions began yielding positive results over the course of the first quarter. In addition, warranty expense increased approximately $4.0 million compared to the prior year, primarily due to the absence of a favorable warranty settlement in the prior year. As a percentage of sales, cost of sales increased 960 basis points to 79.8 percent, primarily due to higher material costs and the operating inefficiencies associated with the business’s rapid growth and the supplier capacity constraints.
Current wording
Data Centers year-to-date cost of sales increased $332.3 million, or 111 percent, from the same period last year, primarily due to higher sales volume and higher material costs, which increased approximately $43.0 million.

Data Centers SG&A expenses increased $4.2 million, or 21 percent, compared with the first quarter of the prior year. As apercentage of sales, SG&A expenses decreased 390 basis points. The increase in SG&A expenses was primarily driven by costs to support the segment’s strategic growth initiatives, including higher compensation-related expenses, which increased approximately $5.0 million, and increases across other general and administrative expenses. These increases were partially offset by lower amortization expense, which decreased $1.8 million. The lower amortization expense was primarily driven by an order backlog intangible asset related to our acquisition of Scott Springfield Mfg. Inc., which we finished amortizing during the first quarter of fiscal 2026.
Current wording
Data Centers year-to-date SG&A expenses increased $10.4 million, or 27 percent, yet decreased 320 basis points as a percentage of sales.

Under our equity compensation plans, participants have the option to sell back shares from their vested awards to satisfy their individual tax withholding obligations. We hold these purchased shares as treasury shares, which reduces the number of shares outstanding used to calculate earnings per share. During the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and in connection with the vesting of stock awards, we purchased 219,667 shares for $64.6 million, an increase of $59.5 million compared with the same period last year. The increase was primarily related to performance-based stock awards granted in fiscal 2024, for which shares were issued during the first quarter of fiscal 2027 after the requisite three-year performance period. In fiscal 2023, performance-based cash awards were granted in lieu of performance-based stock awards; therefore, there were no share purchases related to performance-based awards in fiscal 2026 since the awards were settled in cash. Modine’s share price appreciated significantly from the grant date of the fiscal 2024 performance-based stock awards ($27.29 per share) to the date of issuance in the first quarter of fiscal 2027 ($295.88 per share). The share price appreciation increased the value of the shares delivered to participants and the shares delivered back to Modine by participants to satisfy their associated tax withholding obligations.
