Strong Climate Solutions Performance Supports Growth
Modine’s sales growth was largely driven by robust performance in its Climate Solutions segment, offsetting weakness in Performance Technologies due to expected softness in vehicular markets and selective product line exits. The Climate Solutions division benefited from sustained demand, particularly in data center products, alongside both organic and acquisition-driven growth in HVAC Technologies.
In the Performance Technologies segment, the company continued to mitigate higher material costs through strategic cost controls.
Raised Outlook and Capacity Expansion Initiatives
Reflecting confidence in future performance, Modine raised its revenue and earnings guidance for the fiscal year. The revision factors in the benefits of recent acquisitions within Climate Solutions and growing demand from data center customers.
Over the next 12 to 18 months, the business plans to invest $100 million to increase the number of data center products it manufactures in North America. This involves the construction of a new plant in Dallas, Texas; an extension in Grenada, Mississippi; and the possible conversion of Performance Technologies’ locations in Franklin, Wisconsin, and Jefferson City, Missouri.
Setting Up for Long-Term Growth in Data Centers
According to Modine, its increased capacity will have a favorable effect on the second half of the fiscal year and offer more robust growth prospects through fiscal 2027 and beyond. The business predicts that by fiscal 2028, overall data center revenues might surpass $2 billion, with the U.S. accounting for a significant portion of worldwide data center activity.
The investment will also bolster engineering, product development, and testing capabilities, create new jobs, and facilitate employee retraining. Modine remains committed to its multi-year transformation strategy, channeling resources toward high-growth, high-margin segments to capitalize on emerging opportunities in digital infrastructure.
