Revenue and gross margin growth driven by strong data center sales, including benefit from Scott Springfield acquisition
RACINE, Wis., Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Modine (NYSE: MOD), a diversified global leader in thermal management technology and solutions, today reported financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
Third Quarter Highlights:
Net sales of $616.8 million increased 10 percent from the prior yearNet earnings of $41.2 million decreased $3.9 million, or 9 percent, from the prior yearAdjusted EBITDA of $87.3 million increased $13.4 million, or 18 percent, from the prior yearEarnings per share of $0.76 decreased $0.07, or 8 percent, from the prior yearAdjusted earnings per share of $0.92 increased $0.18, or 24 percent, from the prior year
“Our third quarter results were largely in line with our expectations and a continuation of the trends outlined last quarter, with strong data center sales leading the year-over-year revenue improvement,” said Modine President and Chief Executive Officer, Neil D. Brinker. “The Scott Springfield acquisition continues to perform exceptionally well, accelerating our growth and providing revenue synergies with numerous cross selling opportunities. This, along with strong organic data center growth, more than offset lower volumes in other areas of the business. Overall, I am pleased with our performance as we continue to grow and deliver strong results, while successfully managing through down cycles in many of Performance Technologies’ end markets.”
Third Quarter Financial Results
Net sales increased 10 percent to $616.8 million, compared with $561.4 million in the prior year. Sales growth was primarily driven by higher sales of data center cooling and HVAC and refrigeration (“HVAC&R”) products, partially offset by lower sales of heat transfer products and lower sales to automotive, commercial vehicle and off-highway customers.
Gross profit increased 18 percent to $149.6 million and gross margin improved by 160 basis points to 24.3 percent, which was primarily driven by favorable sales mix, including sales from the recently acquired Scott Springfield Manufacturing business and organic data center sales growth.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $14.0 million to $82.0 million. The increase was primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses, including increased incentive compensation resulting from improved financial results, and SG&A expenses from the acquired Scott Springfield Manufacturing business, including $4.6 million of incremental amortization expense for acquired intangible assets.
Operating income was $59.3 million, compared to $61.7 million in the prior year, a decrease of 4 percent. The decrease was driven by higher SG&A and restructuring expenses as compared to the prior year and the absence of a $4.0 million gain on the sale of three automotive businesses in Germany in fiscal 2024. These decreases are partially offset by higher gross profit on the higher sales volume. The Company recorded $8.3 million of restructuring expenses during the third quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily for severance-related expenses within the Performance Technologies segment. Net earnings of $41.2 million decreased $3.9 million, or 9 percent, compared to $45.1 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes restructuring expenses, certain other charges, interest expense, the provision for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense, was $87.3 million, an increase of $13.4 million, or 18 percent, compared to $73.9 million in the prior year.
Earnings per share was $0.76, compared with $0.83 in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per share was $0.92, compared with adjusted earnings per share of $0.74 in the prior year.
Third Quarter Segment Review
Climate Solutions segment sales were $360.8 million, compared with $254.0 million one year ago, an increase of 42 percent, including $73.6 million of sales from the acquired Scott Springfield Manufacturing business. This increase was driven by higher sales of data center cooling and HVAC&R products, partially offset by lower sales of heat transfer products. The segment reported gross margin of 28.6 percent, which was 100 basis points higher than the prior year, primarily due to higher sales volume and favorable sales mix. The segment reported operating income of $62.4 million, a 54 percent increase from the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $75.7 million, an increase of $27.5 million, or 57 percent, from the prior year.
Performance Technologies segment sales were $262.2 million, compared with $310.9 million one year ago, a decrease of 16 percent. This decrease primarily resulted from market-related declines to automotive, off-highway and commercial vehicle customers and the impact of dispositions in the prior year. The segment reported gross margin of 17.8 percent, down 50 basis points primarily due to lower sales volume, partially offset by improved operating efficiencies. The segment reported operating income of $15.8 million, a $13.7 million decrease compared to the prior year, primarily due to lower gross profit and higher restructuring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA was $28.4 million, a decrease of $8.0 million, or 22 percent, from the prior year.
Balance Sheet & Liquidity
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was $158.5 million, a decrease of $16.5 million compared to the prior year. Free cash flow for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was $102.2 million, a decrease of $29.0 million from the prior year. Higher operating earnings in the current year was more than offset by a decrease in customer deposits associated with sales contracts with long inventory lead times and higher capital expenditures to support long- and short-term growth. In addition, cash payments for restructuring activities, acquisition and integration costs, and environmental charges during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 increased by $15.8 million from the prior year to $25.5 million.
Total debt was $370.8 million as of December 31, 2024. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2024 were $83.8 million. Net debt was $287.0 million as of December 31, 2024, a decrease of $84.5 million from the end of fiscal 2024.
Outlook
“We are reaffirming our previously announced guidance for Fiscal 2025, which would result in our third consecutive year of record results,” added Brinker. “Our outlook for the data center business remains strong, driven by both organic growth and the Scott Springfield acquisition. The investments we’ve made to expand our technology offerings, accelerate new product development, and add manufacturing capacity are all contributing to above-market growth. In the Performance Technologies segment, we have taken aggressive cost actions as vehicular end-markets remain challenged. We continue to believe that this, along with our 80/20 focus, will allow us to drive higher margins and earnings.”

Non-GAAP Financial Disclosures
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted earnings per share, net debt, free cash flow, organic sales and organic sales growth (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. 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 and adjusted EBITDA margin
The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net earnings excluding interest expense, the provision or benefit for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses, other income and expense, restructuring expenses, acquisition and integration costs, and certain other gains or charges. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin provide relevant measures of profitability and earnings power. The Company views these financial metrics as being useful in assessing 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 operating income excluding depreciation and amortization expenses, restructuring expenses, and certain other gains or charges.
Definition – Adjusted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share plus restructuring expenses, acquisition and integration costs, and excluding changes in income tax valuation allowances and certain other gains or charges. Adjusted earnings per share is an overall performance measure, not including costs associated with restructuring and acquisitions 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. Net debt 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. Free cash flow presents cash generated from operations during the period that is available for strategic capital decisions.
Definition – Organic sales and organic sales growth
Net sales and net sales growth can be impacted by acquisitions, dispositions, and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company defines organic sales as external net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions and the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Organic sales growth represents the percentage change of organic sales compared to prior year external net sales, excluding the impact of dispositions. The effect of exchange rate changes is calculated by using the same foreign currency exchange rates as those used to translate financial data for the prior period. The Company adjusts for acquisitions and dispositions by excluding net sales in the current and prior periods, respectively, for which there are no comparable sales in the reported periods. These sales growth measures provide a more consistent indication of our performance, without the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations or acquisitions and dispositions.

(a)
Restructuring expenses primarily consist of employee severance expenses, the majority of which were recorded within the Performance Technologies segment, and equipment transfer costs. The tax benefit related to restructuring expenses during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 was $1.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The tax benefit related to restructuring expenses during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 was $2.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
(b)
On March 1, 2024, the Company acquired Scott Springfield Manufacturing, a leading provider of air handling units for the data center, telecommunications, healthcare, and aerospace markets. The adjustment in fiscal 2025 includes $1.6 million recorded at Corporate for the impact of an inventory purchase accounting adjustment. The Company wrote up acquired inventory to its estimated fair value and charged the write-up to cost of sales as the underlying inventory was sold. The fiscal 2025 costs also include fees for accounting and legal professional services and incremental costs directly associated with integration activities. In addition, for purposes of calculating adjusted EPS, the Company also adjusted for $8.0 million of incremental amortization expense recorded in the Climate Solutions segment during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 associated with an acquired order backlog intangible asset, which will be substantially amortized by the end of fiscal 2025. The tax benefit related to the acquisition related costs and adjustments for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2025 was $0.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively.
(c)
Environmental charges, including related legal costs, are recorded as SG&A expenses at Corporate and relate to previously owned facilities. The tax benefit related to environmental charges during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 was $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
(d)
The Company’s sale of three automotive businesses based in Germany closed on October 31, 2023. As a result of the sale, the Company recorded a $4.0 million gain on sale at Corporate during the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The tax benefit associated with the sale totaled $3.1 million.

SMASHIFY LAUNCHES BETA PLATFORM TO REWRITE THE STREAMING EXPERIENCE FOR ARTIST AND FANS
Published

April 21, 2026By
The Way the World Streams Music Is About to Change
LOS ANGELES, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Smashify announced today the launch of its beta music platform, introducing a new approach to streaming designed to create stronger alignment between artists, fans, and platform activity.
Built as a music technology platform, Smashify is focused on developing a more transparent and participatory streaming ecosystem. At the center of the platform is a model designed to better support artists while also recognizing the importance of listeners and fans in driving discovery, engagement, and long-term music value.
According to the company’s model, artists on Smashify are positioned to earn on average up to ten times more than they typically would through conventional streaming platforms. Smashify says this reflects its broader effort to create a more favorable economic structure for music creators in an industry where many artists have long expressed concern over limited payout models.
Smashify also places special emphasis on fans and listeners, which the company considers the most important part of its platform ecosystem. Through its participation model, Smashify is building a system intended to share a portion of company-generated revenue with listeners, recognizing the role fans play in supporting music discovery, engagement, and platform growth.
Rather than limiting value creation to the platform level alone, Smashify is building an ecosystem intended to broaden participation across artists, fans, and digital communities. The company says its beta launch marks the next step in rethinking how music is experienced, supported, and monetized in the digital era.
The platform incorporates blockchain infrastructure as part of its long-term technology framework, with an emphasis on transparency, accountability, and future utility across the Smashify ecosystem. As the company expands, Smashify plans to introduce additional features designed to support platform activity, artist promotion, fan engagement, marketplace functionality, and advertiser participation.
“The next wave of innovation in music will come not only from discovery, but from building stronger economic alignment across the ecosystem,” said 7 Ghosts, the team behind Smashify. “We believe artists deserve better economics, and we also believe fans deserve to be recognized as an essential part of the value chain. Smashify is being built to support both.”
Currently in beta, Smashify is focused on platform rollout, user growth, product development, and strategic expansion. The company says its mission is to build a next-generation music platform that reflects the changing expectations of both artists and audiences in a digitally native economy.
ABOUT SMASHIFY
Smashify is a music technology company developing a streaming ecosystem designed to deepen participation between artists, fans, and digital communities. With a focus on transparency, engagement, and long-term platform innovation, Smashify is building tools and infrastructure intended to support music discovery, artist visibility, user participation, and new forms of value creation within the streaming experience. Headquartered in Panama City, Panama, Smashify is focused on global platform growth and continued product development.

Big Cinematic Sound in a Small Elegant Form
IRVINE, Calif., April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TCL®, one of the world’s best‑selling consumer electronics brands, is redefining how great sound looks at home with the launch of its first UltraThin Designer Series Soundbar, the TCL A65K. A perfect match for TCL slimmest TVs, the A65K delivers room‑filling 3.1.2 Dolby Atmos® sound in a low-profile design that blends seamlessly into any space.
At just 50mm (less than 2-inches) thin, the TCL A65K was designed alongside TCL UltraThin TVs, to deliver a punch from a sleek, minimalist aesthetic. It sits flush beneath the screen, creating a clean, modern look that enhances your décor instead of competing with it. No visual clutter, just a perfectly matched pairing of picture and sound.
“To address the growing demand for sound systems that combine harmonized aesthetics with immersive sound, TCL created the new Designer Series A65K Soundbar,” said Scott Ramirez, Vice President of Product Marketing and Development, TCL North America. “TVs are meant to be seen, while soundbars are meant to be heard. So, the A65K is designed to put you in the movie with room-filling sound, yet you’ll forget it’s even there.”
Don’t let the UltraThin design fool you. Inside the A65K is a powerful 3.1.2‑channel Dolby Atmos system with nine speakers, including up‑firing drivers that push sound above and around you for a truly immersive experience. From explosive action scenes to quiet dialogue, the A65K fills the room with rich, detailed audio while keeping your living space open and stylish. Acoustically tuned with Audio by Bang & Olufsen, the A65K delivers premium sound quality, clarity, and balance typically found in much larger systems. With its wireless subwoofer and auto room calibration, you get cinematic sound without sacrificing simplicity.
With the A65K, TCL brings together bold audio performance and minimized décor-oriented design – creating a soundbar that looks as good as it sounds.

Johnny Lieberman of Harbor IT named Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2026 New York finalist by EY US
Published

April 21, 2026By
NEW YORK, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Johnny Lieberman, founder and CEO of Harbor IT, has been named a finalist for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2026 New York Award by Ernst & Young LLP (EY US). Now in its 41st year, the Entrepreneur Of The Year program celebrates the bold leaders who disrupt markets through the world’s most ground-breaking companies, revolutionizing industries and uplifting communities. The program honors entrepreneurs whose innovations drive economic growth and help shape the future of business.
An independent panel of judges selected Johnny among 33 finalists based on their entrepreneurial spirit, purpose, company growth and lasting impact in building long-term value.
“We set out to build Harbor differently than everyone else building at our scale – one fully integrated company, with real specialization and technical depth that most MSPs weren’t willing to build. Cyber-first, focused on the customers that are hardest to serve: multi-site healthcare providers who can’t afford a clinical system going down; manufacturers dealing with OT and CMMC; PE-backed companies going through rapid change. These customers need specialists who’ve actually done the hard work and understand these complex environments. Most MSPs have shied away. We’ve leaned in. And none of it is possible without the almost 400 people who show up every day – the engineers, the founders who joined us and never left, and every person who chose Harbor and helped us build something none of us could have built alone. Our mission hasn’t changed: go where it’s hardest. If we can solve those problems, we can solve anything,” said Johnny Lieberman, founder and CEO of Harbor IT.
Harbor IT is a cyber-first managed services provider delivering integrated IT, cybersecurity, AI, and cloud solutions for organizations with complex, critical, and compliance-driven technology environments. Founded and led by CEO Johnny Lieberman, Harbor was built through a differentiated approach: raising $50 million from a curated network of entrepreneurs and business owners to create an operator-led alternative to traditional private equity rollups. Through nine strategic acquisitions, Harbor has been fully integrated into a single operating platform with a unified product line, including its own US-based SOC and proprietary MXDR platform. Harbor serves midmarket customers predominantly through three specialized vertical practices: private equity portfolio companies, critical infrastructure, and healthcare, each defined by complex operational, regulatory, or security requirements. With nearly 400 employees across 40 states, Harbor supports customers nationwide as their trusted technology partner.
For more information about Harbor IT, visit harborit.com.
Entrepreneur Of The Year honors business leaders for their ingenuity, courage and entrepreneurial spirit. The program celebrates original founders who bootstrapped their business from inception or who raised outside capital to grow their company, transformational CEOs who infused innovation into an existing organization to catapult its trajectory, and multigenerational family business leaders who reimagined a legacy business model to strengthen it for the future.
This year’s New York finalists represent New York and Connecticut across all industries, including technology, consumer products, manufacturing, finance life, sciences and more.
Regional award winners will be announced on June 16 during a special celebration in Manhattan and will become lifetime members of an esteemed community of Entrepreneur Of The Year alumni from around the world. The winners will then be considered by the national judges for the Entrepreneur Of The Year National Awards, which will be presented in November at the annual Strategic Growth Forum®, where high-growth CEOs, Fortune 1000 executives and investors converge to shape the future of business.
Sponsors
Founded and produced by Ernst & Young LLP, the Entrepreneur Of The Year Awards include presenting sponsors PNC Bank, Cresa, LLC, Marsh USA, SAP, and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation. In New York, sponsors also include regional Platinum sponsor Donnelley Financial Solutions (DFIN), regional Gold sponsors ADP and DLA Piper, and regional Silver sponsor Stagedge.
About Entrepreneur Of The Year®
Founded in 1986, Entrepreneur Of The Year® has celebrated more than 11,000 ambitious visionaries who are leading successful, dynamic businesses in the US, and it has since expanded to nearly 80 countries and territories globally.
The US program consists of 17 regional programs whose panels of independent judges select the regional award winners every June. Those winners compete for national recognition at the Strategic Growth Forum® in November where national finalists and award winners are announced. The national overall winner represents the US at the World Entrepreneur Of The Year® competition. Visit ey.com/us/eoy.
