NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments except those otherwise described herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, unless otherwise disclosed. Operating results for the three months ended July 3, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023.

The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at March 31, 2022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K (SEC File No. 001-32253), which was filed on May 25, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”).

EnerSys (the “Company”) reports interim financial information for 13-week periods, except for the first quarter, which always begins on April 1, and the fourth quarter, which always ends on March 31. The four quarters in fiscal 2023 end on July 3, 2022, October 2, 2022, January 1, 2023, and March 31, 2023, respectively. The four quarters in fiscal 2022 ended on July 4, 2021, October 3, 2021, January 2, 2022, and March 31, 2022, respectively.

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and any partially owned subsidiaries that the Company has the ability to control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions take into account historical and forward looking factors that the Company believes are reasonable, including, but not limited to, the potential impacts arising from the coronavirus pandemic including its variants (“COVID-19”) and public and private sector policies and initiatives aimed at reducing its transmission. As the extent and duration of the impacts of COVID-19 remain unclear, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may evolve as conditions change. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Examples of significant estimates include the allowance for credit losses, the recoverability of property, plant and equipment, the incremental borrowing rate for lease liabilities, the recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets, fair value measurements, including those related to financial instruments, goodwill and intangible assets, valuation allowances on tax assets, pension and postretirement benefit obligations, contingencies and the identification and valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations.

2. Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues by reportable segments are presented in Note 17 and are consistent with how we organize and manage our operations, as well as product line net sales information.

Service revenues related to the work performed for the Company’s customers by its maintenance technicians generally represent a separate and distinct performance obligation. Control for these services passes to the customer as the services are performed. Service revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 amounted to $99,824 and $82,518, respectively.

A small portion of the Company's customer arrangements oblige the Company to create customized products for its customers that require the bundling of both products and services into a single performance obligation because the individual products and services that are required to fulfill the customer requirements do not meet the definition for a distinct performance obligation. These customized products generally have no alternative use to the Company and the terms and conditions of these arrangements give the Company the enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, including a reasonable profit margin. For these arrangements, control transfers over time and the Company measures progress towards completion by selecting the input or output method that best depicts the transfer of control of the underlying goods and services to the customer for each respective arrangement. Methods used by the Company to measure progress toward completion include labor hours, costs incurred and units of production. Revenues recognized over time for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 amounted to $57,004 and $40,904, respectively.

On July 3, 2022, the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was approximately $187,522, of which, the Company estimates that approximately $159,653 will be recognized as revenue in fiscal 2023, $24,579 in fiscal 2024, and $3,290 in fiscal 2025.

Any payments that are received from a customer in advance, prior to the satisfaction of a related performance obligation and billings in excess of revenue recognized, are deferred and treated as a contract liability. Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized are classified as current or non-current based on the timing of when recognition of revenue is expected. As of July 3, 2022, the current and non-current portion of contract liabilities were $27,733 and $1,266, respectively. As of March 31, 2022, the current and non-current portion of contract liabilities were $27,870 and $1,387, respectively. Revenues recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 that were included in the contract liability at the beginning of the quarter, amounted to $4,590 and $3,596, respectively.

Amounts representing work completed and not billed to customers represent contract assets and were $66,643 and $59,924 as of July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company uses historic customer product return data as a basis of estimation for customer returns and records the reduction of sales at the time revenue is recognized. At July 3, 2022, the right of return asset related to the value of inventory anticipated to be returned from customers was $4,605 and refund liability representing amounts estimated to be refunded to customers was $8,053.

3. Leases

The Company leases manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, office space, vehicles and other equipment under non-cancellable leases with initial terms typically ranging from 1 to 17 years.

Short term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not presented on the balance sheet and expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables represent the financial assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2022, and the basis for that measurement:


	Total Fair Value Measurement July 3, 2022		Quoted Price in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Lead forward contracts	$	(5,431)	$	—	$	(5,431)	$	—
Foreign currency forward contracts	244		—		244		—
Net investment hedges	22,635		—		22,635		—
Total derivatives	$	17,448	$	—	$	17,448	$	—


	Total Fair Value Measurement March 31, 2022		Quoted Price in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Lead forward contracts	$	2,520	$	—	$	2,520	$	—
Foreign currency forward contracts	(256)		—		(256)		—
Net investment hedges	298		—		298		—
Total derivatives	$	2,562	$	—	$	2,562	$	—

The fair values of lead forward contracts are calculated using observable prices for lead as quoted on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”) and, therefore, were classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2022 Annual Report.

The fair values for foreign currency forward contracts and net investment hedges are based upon current quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2 based on the nature of the underlying market in which these derivatives are traded.

Financial Instruments

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximate carrying value due to their short maturities.

The fair value of the Company’s short-term debt and borrowings under the Second Amended Credit Facility (as defined in Note 12), approximate their respective carrying value, as they are variable rate debt and the terms are comparable to market terms as of the balance sheet dates and are classified as Level 2.

In fiscal 2020, the Company issued its 4.375% Senior Notes due December 15, 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), with an original face value of $300,000. The Company's 5.00% Senior Notes due April 30, 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), with an original face value of $300,000, were issued in fiscal 2016. The fair value of the 2027 Notes and 2023 Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) represent the trading values based upon quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2. The 2027 Notes were trading at approximately 88% and 95% of face value on July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The 2023 Notes were trading at approximately 99% and 101% of face value on July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

Table of Contents

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s derivatives and Senior Notes at July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2022 were as follows:


	July 3, 2022				March 31, 2022
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial assets:
Derivatives (1)	$	17,448	$	17,448	$	2,562	$	2,562
Financial liabilities:
Senior Notes (2)	$	600,000	$	560,250	$	600,000	$	585,750

(1)Represents lead, foreign currency forward contracts and net investment hedges (see Note 7 for asset and liability positions of the lead, foreign currency forward contracts and net investment hedges at July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2022).

(2)The fair value amount of the Senior Notes at July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2022 represent the trading value of the instruments.

Non-recurring fair value measurements

On June 29, 2022, the Company committed to a plan to close its facility in Ooltewah, Tennessee, which focused on manufacturing flooded motive power batteries for electric forklifts. Management determined that future demand for traditional motive power flooded cells will decrease as customers transition to maintenance free product solutions in lithium and Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL). As a result, the Company concluded that the carrying value of the asset group was not recoverable and recorded during the current quarter of fiscal 2023 a write-off of $7,300 of the fixed assets, for which there is expected to be no salvageable value. The valuation technique used to measure the fair value of fixed assets was a combination of the income and market approaches. The inputs used to measure the fair value of these fixed assets under the income approach were largely unobservable and accordingly were classified as Level 3.

7. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest, under established procedures and controls. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes. The Company’s agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions and the Company anticipates performance by counterparties to these contracts and therefore no material loss is expected.

Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships

Lead Forward Contracts

The Company enters into lead forward contracts to fix the price for a portion of its lead purchases. Management considers the lead forward contracts to be effective against changes in the cash flows of the underlying lead purchases. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. At July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company has hedged the price to purchase approximately 55.5 million pounds and 54.0 million pounds of lead, respectively, for a total purchase price of $54,078 and $56,768, respectively.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge a portion of the Company’s foreign currency exposures for lead, as well as other foreign currency exposures so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the underlying foreign currency denominated exposures. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. As of July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company had entered into a total of $33,463 and $29,676, respectively, of such contracts.

Table of Contents

Derivatives in Net Investment Hedging Relationships

Net Investment Hedges

On December 23, 2021, the Company entered into cross currency fixed interest rate swap agreements, with aggregate notional amounts of $300,000, to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between U.S. dollars and euros. These swaps mature on December 15, 2027 and qualify for hedge accounting as a net investment hedging instrument, which allows the swaps to be remeasured to foreign currency translation adjustment within AOCI (“Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”) to offset the translation risk from those investments. Balances in the foreign currency translation adjustment accounts remain until the sale or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity, upon which they are recognized as a component of income (expense).

Impact of Hedging Instruments on AOCI

In the coming twelve months, the Company anticipates that $1,714 of pretax loss relating to lead, foreign currency forward contracts and net investment hedges will be reclassified from AOCI as part of cost of goods sold and interest expense. This amount represents the current net unrealized impact of hedging lead, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, which will change as market rates change in the future. This amount will ultimately be realized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income as an offset to the corresponding actual changes in lead, foreign exchange rates and interest costs resulting from variable lead cost, foreign exchange and interest rates hedged.

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge foreign currency fluctuations on intercompany loans and foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. These are not designated as hedging instruments and changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded directly in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. As of July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the notional amount of these contracts was $51,256 and $22,990, respectively.

8. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provision consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provision for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 was based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods. The Company’s effective income tax rate with respect to any period may be volatile based on the mix of income in the tax jurisdictions, in which the Company operates, change in tax laws and the amount of the Company's consolidated earnings before taxes.

The consolidated effective income tax rates for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 were 15.7% and 16.0%. The rate decrease in the first quarter compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions.

Foreign income as a percentage of worldwide income is estimated to be 77% for fiscal 2023 compared to 87% for fiscal 2022. The foreign effective tax rates for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 were 11% and 9%, respectively. Income from the Company's Swiss subsidiary comprised a substantial portion of the Company's overall foreign mix of income for both fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 and were taxed at an effective income tax rate of approximately 9% and 8%, respectively.

9. Warranty

The Company provides for estimated product warranty expenses when products are sold, with related liabilities included within accrued expenses and other liabilities. As warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, primarily historical claims experience, costs of claims may ultimately differ from amounts provided. An analysis of changes in the liability for product warranties is as follows:


	Quarter ended

10. Commitments, Contingencies and Litigation

Litigation and Other Legal Matters

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are routinely defendants in or parties to pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. These actions and proceedings are generally based on alleged violations of environmental, anticompetition, employment, contract and other laws. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Company and its subsidiaries. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to regulatory and governmental examinations, information gathering requests, inquiries, investigations, and threatened legal actions and proceedings. In connection with formal and informal inquiries by federal, state, local and foreign agencies, the Company and its subsidiaries receive numerous requests, subpoenas and orders for documents, testimony and information in connection with various aspects of their activities.

European Competition Investigations

Certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries had received subpoenas and requests for documents and, in some cases, interviews from, and have had on-site inspections conducted by, the competition authorities of Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands relating to conduct and anticompetitive practices of certain industrial battery participants. For additional information regarding these matters, see Note 19 - Commitments, Contingencies and Litigation to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the 2022 Annual Report. As of July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2022, the Company did not have a reserve balance related to these matters.

The precise scope, timing and time period at issue, as well as the final outcome of the investigations or customer claims, remain uncertain. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate may change from time to time, and actual losses could vary.

Environmental Issues

As a result of its operations, the Company is subject to various federal, state, and local, as well as international environmental laws and regulations and is exposed to the costs and risks of registering, handling, processing, storing, transporting, and disposing of hazardous substances, especially lead and acid. The Company’s operations are also subject to federal, state, local and international occupational safety and health regulations, including laws and regulations relating to exposure to lead in the workplace. The Company believes that it has adequate reserves to satisfy its environmental liabilities.

Lead, Foreign Currency Forward Contracts and Swaps

To stabilize its lead costs and reduce volatility from currency and interest rate movements, the Company entered into contracts with financial institutions. The vast majority of lead and foreign currency contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. The Company also entered into cross currency fixed interest rate swap agreements to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between U.S. dollars and euros and these agreements mature on December 15, 2027. Please refer to Note 7 - Derivative Financial Instruments for more details.

Exit Charges

Fiscal 2023 Program

On June 29, 2022, the Company committed to a plan to close its facility in Ooltewah, Tennessee, which produces flooded motive power batteries for electric forklifts. Management determined that future demand for traditional motive power flooded cells will decrease as customers transition to maintenance free product solutions in lithium and Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL). The Company currently estimates that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $18,500, of which $7,300 of non-cash charges relating to fixed asset write-offs were recorded during the current quarter ended July 3, 2022. Cash charges for employee severance related payments, cleanup related to the facility, contractual releases and legal expenses are estimated to be $9,200 and other non-cash charges are estimated to be $2,000. These actions will result in the reduction of approximately 165 employees. The plan is expected to be completed by calendar 2023.

Fiscal 2022 Program

Hagen, Germany

In fiscal 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to close substantially all of its facility in Hagen, Germany, which produces flooded motive power batteries for electric forklifts. Management determined that future demand for the motive power batteries produced at this facility was not sufficient, given the conversion from flooded to maintenance free batteries by customers, the existing number of competitors in the market, as well as the near term decline in demand and increased

uncertainty from the pandemic. The Company plans to retain the facility with limited sales, service and administrative functions along with related personnel for the foreseeable future.

The Company currently estimates that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $60,000, of which cash charges for employee severance related payments, cleanup related to the facility, contractual releases and legal expenses were estimated to be $40,000 and non-cash charges from inventory and equipment write-offs were estimated to be $20,000. The majority of these charges were recorded as of March 31, 2022. These actions resulted in the reduction of approximately 200 employees.

During fiscal 2021, the Company recorded cash charges relating to severance of $23,331 and non-cash charges of $7,946 primarily relating to fixed asset write-offs.

During fiscal 2022, the Company recorded cash charges primarily relating to severance of $8,069 and non-cash charges of $3,522 primarily relating to fixed asset write-offs. The Company also recorded a non-cash write off relating to inventories of $960, which was reported in cost of goods sold.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company recorded cash charges of $721 relating to site clean up and $145 of non-cash charges relating to accelerated depreciation of fixed assets.

Targovishte, Bulgaria

During fiscal 2019, the Company committed to a plan to close its facility in Targovishte, Bulgaria, which produced diesel-electric submarine batteries. Management determined that the future demand for batteries of diesel-electric submarines was not sufficient given the number of competitors in the market. Of the estimated total charges of $26,000 for this plan, the Company had recorded charges amounting to $20,242 in fiscal 2019, relating to severance and inventory and fixed asset write-offs and an additional $5,123 relating to cash and non-cash charges during fiscal 2020. During fiscal 2021, in keeping with its strategy of

exiting the manufacture of batteries for diesel-electric submarines, the Company completed further actions which resulted in

$220 relating to cash and non-cash charges. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company sold this facility for $1,489. A net gain of $1,208 was recorded as a credit to exit charges in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income.

Zamudio, Spain

During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company closed a minor assembling plant in Zamudio, Spain and sold the same for $1,779. A net gain of $740 was recorded as a credit to exit charges in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income.

2017 Credit Facility and Subsequent Amendments

In fiscal 2018, the Company entered into a credit facility (the “2017 Credit Facility”). The 2017 Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on September 30, 2022, initially comprised a $600,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (“2017 Revolver”) and a $150,000 senior secured term loan (“2017 Term Loan”). The Company utilized the borrowings from the 2017 Credit Facility to repay its pre-existing credit facility.

In fiscal 2019, the Company amended the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Amended Credit Facility”) to fund the Alpha acquisition. The Amended Credit Facility consisted of $449,105 senior secured term loans (the “Amended Term Loan”), including a CAD 133,050 ($99,105) senior secured term loan and a $700,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Amended Revolver”). The amendment resulted in an increase of the 2017 Term Loan and the 2017 Revolver by $299,105 and $100,000, respectively.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Amended Credit Facility (as amended, the “Second Amended Credit Facility”). The Second Amended Credit Facility, scheduled to mature on September 30, 2026, consists of a $130,000 senior secured term loan (the “Second Amended Term Loan”), a CAD 106,440 ($84,229) senior secured term loan and an $850,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Second Amended Revolver”). The second amendment resulted in a decrease of the Amended Term Loan by $150,000 and an increase of the Amended Revolver by $150,000.

Subsequent to the second amendment, the quarterly installments payable on the Second Amended Term Loan are $2,656 beginning December 31, 2022, $3,984 beginning December 31, 2024 and $5,312 beginning December 31, 2025 with a final payment of $159,355 on September 30, 2026. The Second Amended Credit Facility may be increased by an aggregate amount of $350,000 in revolving commitments and / or one or more new tranches of term loans, under certain conditions. Both the Second Amended Revolver and the Second Amended Term Loan bear interest, at the Company's option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) plus (i) LIBOR plus between 1.125% and 2.00% (currently 1.75% and based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio) or (ii) the U.S. Dollar Base Rate (which equals, for any day a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, (b) Bank of America “Prime Rate” and (c) the Eurocurrency Base Rate plus 1%; provided that, if the Base Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero) (iii) the CDOR Base Rate equal to the higher of (a) Bank of America “Prime Rate” and (b) average 30-day CDOR rate plus 0.50%. The Second Amended Credit Facility provides for alternate benchmark rates such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) to replace LIBOR when it is phased out.

Obligations under the Second Amended Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s existing and future acquired assets, including substantially all of the capital stock of the Company’s United States subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Second Amended Credit Facility and up to 65% of the capital stock of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are owned by the Company’s United States subsidiaries.

The Second Amended Credit Facility allows for up to two temporary increases in the maximum leverage ratio from 3.50x to 4.00x for a four quarter period following an acquisition larger than $250,000.

As of July 3, 2022, the Company had $571,000 outstanding under the Second Amended Revolver and $212,473 under the Second Amended Term Loan.

Current Portion of Debt

The current portion of the Second Amended Term Loan and the 2023 Notes are $7,969 and $300,000, respectively, and are classified as long-term debt, as the Company expects to refinance the future quarterly payments and redemption of the 2023 Notes with borrowings under the Second Amended Credit Facility.

This list of factors that may affect future performance is illustrative, but by no means exhaustive. Accordingly, all forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty.

In the following discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition, certain financial measures may be considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules. These rules require supplemental explanation and reconciliation, which is provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. EnerSys’ management uses the non-GAAP measures “primary working capital” and “primary working capital percentage” in its evaluation of cash flow and financial position performance. These disclosures have limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for cash flow determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Management believes that this non-GAAP supplemental information is helpful in understanding the Company’s ongoing operating results.

Overview

EnerSys (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) is a world leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications. We also manufacture and distribute energy systems solutions and motive power batteries, specialty batteries, battery chargers, power equipment, battery accessories and outdoor equipment enclosure solutions to customers worldwide. Energy Systems which combine enclosures, power conversion, power distribution and energy storage are used in the telecommunication and broadband, utility industries, uninterruptible power supplies, and numerous applications requiring stored energy solutions. Motive Power batteries and chargers are utilized in electric forklift trucks and other industrial electric powered vehicles. Specialty batteries are used in aerospace and defense applications, large over the road trucks, premium automotive and medical. We also provide aftermarket and customer support services to over 10,000 customers in more than 100 countries through a network of distributors, independent representatives and our internal sales force around the world.

The Company's three reportable segments, based on lines of business, are as follows:

•Energy Systems - uninterruptible power systems, or “UPS” applications for computer and computer-controlled systems, as well as telecommunications systems, switchgear and electrical control systems used in industrial facilities and electric utilities, large-scale energy storage and energy pipelines. Energy Systems also includes highly integrated power solutions and services to broadband, telecom, renewable and industrial customers, as well as thermally managed cabinets and enclosures for electronic equipment and batteries.

Economic Climate

The economic climate in North America, China and EMEA began to slow in the first half of calendar 2022 after experiencing strong growth during calendar 2021. All regions are experiencing a rise in inflation and are being negatively impacted by the war in Ukraine. Interest rates are expected to continue to increase in the U.S. and the euro zone will see increased interest rates in the second half of 2022, the region’s first increase in 11 years. China’s slowing economy is facing further headwinds caused by continued COVID-19 lockdowns due to rising cases and its zero-Covid approach.

EnerSys is experiencing supply chain disruptions and cost spikes in certain materials such as plastic resins and electronic components along with transportation and related logistics challenges and broad-based cost increases. In addition, certain locations are experiencing difficulty meeting hiring goals. Generally, our mitigation efforts and ongoing lean initiatives, have tempered the impact of the pandemic-related challenges. The overall market demand remains robust.

Volatility of Commodities and Foreign Currencies

Our most significant commodity and foreign currency exposures are related to lead and the Euro, respectively. Historically, volatility of commodity costs and foreign currency exchange rates have caused large swings in our production costs. Since the beginning of fiscal year 2023, we have experienced a steady decline in lead prices from just above $1.10 per pound to just below $0.90 per pound. We are experiencing increasing costs in some of our other raw materials such as plastic resins, steel, copper, acid, separator paper and electronics and increased freight and energy costs.

Customer Pricing

Our selling prices fluctuated during the last several years to offset the volatile cost of commodities. Approximately 30% of our revenue is now subject to agreements that adjust pricing to a market-based index for lead. Customer pricing changes generally lag movements in lead prices and other costs by approximately six to nine months. In fiscal 2023, customer pricing has increased due to certain commodity prices and other costs having increased throughout the year.

Based on current commodity markets, we expect to see continued headwinds from increasing commodity prices, labor and energy costs with related increases in our selling prices in the upcoming year. As we concentrate more on energy systems and non-lead chemistries, the emphasis on lead is expected to continue to decline.

Table of Contents

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our financial position is strong, and we have substantial liquidity to cover short-term liquidity requirements and anticipated growth in the foreseeable future, with $383 million of available cash and cash equivalents and available and undrawn committed credit lines of approximately $353 million at July 3, 2022, availability subject to credit agreement financial covenants.

A substantial majority of the Company’s cash and investments are held by foreign subsidiaries and are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and expected to be utilized to fund local operating activities, capital expenditure requirements and acquisitions. The Company believes that it has sufficient sources of domestic and foreign liquidity.

Our 5% Senior Notes mature on April 30, 2023, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. We expect to refinance the redemption of the 2023 Notes with borrowings under the Second Amended Credit Facility.

During the current quarter, the Company repurchased 358,365 shares of common stock for approximately $22.9 million.

We believe that our strong capital structure and liquidity affords us access to capital for future acquisition and stock repurchase opportunities and continued dividend payments.

Results of Operations

Net Sales

Net sales increased $84.1 million or 10.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. This increase was the result of an 8% increase in pricing and a 7% increase in organic volume, partially offset by a 5% decrease in foreign currency translation impact.

Segment sales


	Quarter ended July 3, 2022				Quarter ended July 4, 2021				Increase (Decrease)
	In Millions		Percentage of Total Net Sales		In Millions		Percentage of Total Net Sales		In Millions		%
Energy Systems	$	408.6	45.5	%	$	371.2	45.6	%	$	37.4	10.1	%

Total net sales	$	899.0	100.0	%	$	814.9	100.0	%	$	84.1	10.3	%

Net sales of our Energy Systems segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased $37.4 million or 10.1% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. This increase was due to a 7% increase each in pricing and organic volume, partially offset by a 4% decrease in foreign currency translation impact.

Net sales of our Motive Power segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased by $31.8 million or 9.4% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. This increase was primarily due to an 8% increase in pricing and a 7% increase in organic volume, partially offset by a 6% decrease in foreign currency translation impact.

Net sales of our Specialty segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 increased by $14.9 million or 13.9% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The increase was primarily due to a 10% increase in organic volume and a 6% increase in pricing, partially offset by a 2% decrease in foreign currency translation.

Gross Profit	$	185.5	20.6	%	$	193.2	23.7	%	$	(7.7)	(4.0)	%

Gross profit decreased $7.7 million or 4.0% in the first quarter compared to the comparable period of fiscal 2022. Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 310 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The decrease in the gross profit margin in the current quarter reflects the negative impact of higher freight costs and component shortages from our supply chain along with other inflationary pressures in raw materials, labor, supplies and utilities, in excess of pricing recoveries and organic volume growth as well as adverse foreign currency translation impact.

Restructuring and Other Exit Charges

Restructuring Programs

Included in our first quarter of fiscal 2023 operating results are restructuring charges of $0.2 million in Energy Systems.

Included in our first quarter of fiscal 2022 operating results are restructuring charges of $0.9 million in Energy Systems and $0.4 million in Motive Power.

Exit Charges

Fiscal 2023 Program

On June 29, 2022, the Company committed to a plan to close its facility in Ooltewah, Tennessee, which produces flooded motive power batteries for electric forklifts. Management determined that future demand for traditional motive power flooded cells will decrease as customers transition to maintenance free product solutions in lithium and Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL). The Company currently estimates that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $18.5 million, of which $7.3 million of non-cash charges relating to fixed asset write-offs were recorded during the current quarter ended July 3, 2022. Cash charges for employee severance related payments, cleanup related to the facility, contractual releases and legal expenses are estimated to be $9.2 million and other non-cash charges are estimated to be $2.0 million. These actions will result in the reduction of approximately 165 employees. The plan is expected to be completed by calendar 2023.

Fiscal 2022 Program

Hagen, Germany

Table of Contents

In fiscal 2021, we committed to a plan to close substantially all of our facility in Hagen, Germany, which produces flooded motive power batteries for electric forklifts. Management determined that future demand for the motive power batteries produced at this facility was not sufficient, given the conversion from flooded to maintenance free batteries by customers, the existing number of competitors in the market, as well as the near term decline in demand and increased uncertainty from the pandemic. We plan to retain the facility with limited sales, service and administrative functions along with related personnel for the foreseeable future.

We currently estimate that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $60.0 million of which cash charges for employee severance related payments, cleanup related to the facility, contractual releases and legal expenses were estimated to be $40.0 million and non-cash charges from inventory and equipment write-offs were estimated to be $20.0 million. The majority of these charges have been recorded as of March 31, 2022. These actions resulted in the reduction of approximately 200 employees. During fiscal 2021, the Company recorded cash charges relating to severance of $23.3 million and non-cash charges of $7.9 million primarily relating to fixed asset write-offs.

During fiscal 2022, the Company recorded cash charges, primarily relating to severance of $8.1 million and non-cash charges of $3.5 million primarily relating to fixed asset write-offs. The Company also recorded a non-cash write off relating to inventories of $1.0 million, which was reported in cost of goods sold.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company recorded cash charges of $0.7 million relating to site clean up and $0.1 million of non-cash charges relating to accelerated depreciation of fixed assets.

Targovishte, Bulgaria

During fiscal 2019, the Company committed to a plan to close its facility in Targovishte, Bulgaria, which produced diesel-electric submarine batteries. Management determined that the future demand for batteries of diesel-electric submarines was not sufficient given the number of competitors in the market. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company sold this facility for $1.5 million. A net gain of $1.2 million was recorded as a credit to exit charges in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income.

Zamudio, Spain

During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company closed a minor assembling plant in Zamudio, Spain and sold the same for $1.8 million. A net gain of $0.7 million was recorded as a credit to exit charges in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income.

Table of Contents

Operating earnings decreased $10.8 million or 17.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Operating earnings, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 190 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, respectively, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

The Energy Systems operating earnings, as a percentage of sales, remained constant in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Improved organic volume and pricing efforts were offset by higher lead and freight costs.

The Motive Power operating earnings, as a percentage of sales, decreased 360 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The lag in price recovery to counter the increase in cost of lead, steel and other commodity costs was mainly responsible for the decline in operating earnings in this line of business.

The Specialty operating earnings, as a percentage of sales, decreased 330 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Despite our efforts to mitigate inflationary pressure on costs with price recoveries, higher manufacturing and operating expenses negatively impacted the performance of this line of business.

The increase in interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 is primarily due to higher borrowing and higher short term interest rates, partially offset by the benefit from the $300 million cross currency fixed interest rate swaps. Our average debt outstanding was $1,311.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, compared to $1,033.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Included in interest expense are non-cash charges for deferred financing fees of $0.5 million in both the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Other (income) expense, net in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was expense of $1.7 million compared to income of $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Foreign currency impact resulted in a loss of $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to a foreign currency gain of $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Included in the current quarter foreign currency impact is a loss of $5.2 million relating to the remeasurement of monetary assets from the exit of our Russia operations.

Effective tax rate	15.7%				16.0%				(0.3)%

The Company’s income tax provision consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provision for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 was based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods. Our effective income tax rate with respect to any period may be volatile based on the mix of income in the tax jurisdictions, in which we operate, change in tax laws and the amount of our consolidated earnings before taxes.

The consolidated effective income tax rates for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 were 15.7% and 16.0%, respectively. The rate decrease in the first quarter compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions.

Foreign income as a percentage of worldwide income is estimated to be 77% for fiscal 2023 compared to 87% for fiscal 2022. The foreign effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 were 11% and 9%, respectively. Income from the Company's Swiss subsidiary comprised a substantial portion of our overall foreign mix of income for both fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 and were taxed at an effective income tax rate of approximately 9% and 8%, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow and Financing Activities

Operating activities used cash of $71.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $48.1 million of cash used in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, with the decrease in operating cash resulting mainly due to changes in our primary working capital, details of which can be found below. In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, primary working capital, net of currency translation changes, resulted in an outflow of funds of $109.0 million. In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, net earnings were $31.0 million, depreciation and amortization $23.6 million, stock-based compensation $5.3 million, non-cash charges relating to exit charges $7.4 million, primarily relating to the Ooltewah, Tennessee plant closure, allowance for doubtful debts of $0.2 million and non-cash interest of $0.5 million. Prepaid and other current assets were a use of funds of $5.5 million, primarily from an increase of $7.2 million of contract assets, partially offset by a decrease of $1.7 million in other prepaid expenses, such as taxes, insurance and other advances. Accrued expenses were a use of funds of $25.0 million primarily from payroll related payments of $13.1 million, selling and other expenses of $10.9 million, interest payments net of accrual of $5.7 million, and other miscellaneous payments of $4.0 million, partially offset by tax accruals of $8.7 million.

Table of Contents

In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, operating activities used cash of $48.1 million and primary working capital, net of currency translation changes, resulted in a outflow of funds of $58.2 million. In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, net earnings were $43.9 million, depreciation and amortization $24.4 million, stock-based compensation $3.7 million, non-cash charges relating to exit charges $2.1 million, primarily relating to the Hagen, Germany plant closure, allowance for doubtful debts of $1.0 million and non-cash interest of $0.5 million. Prepaid and other current assets were a use of funds of $15.6 million, primarily from an increase of contract assets of $4.4 million and other prepaid expenses of $11.2 million, such as taxes, insurance and other advances. Accrued expenses were a use of funds of $50.3 million primarily from payroll related accruals of $16.1 million, Hagen severance payments of $11.7 million, selling and other expenses of $8.0 million, interest payment net of accrued interest of $7.4 million, income tax payments of $3.9 million, and other payments of $3.2 million.

As explained in the discussion of our use of “non-GAAP financial measures,” we monitor the level and percentage of primary working capital to sales. Primary working capital for this purpose is trade accounts receivable, plus inventories, minus trade accounts payable. The resulting net amount is divided by the trailing three month net sales (annualized) to derive a primary working capital percentage. Primary working capital was $1,131.5 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of

31.5%) at July 3, 2022, $1,042.0 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 28.7%) at March 31, 2022 and $851.5 million at July 4, 2021 (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 26.1%). The primary working capital percentage of 31.5% at July 3, 2022 is 280 basis points higher than that for March 31, 2022 and 540 basis points higher than that for July 4, 2021. The large increase in primary working capital dollars, compared to March 31, 2022 and the first quarter of fiscal 2022, reflects the increase in all components of inventory due to strategic investment, supply chain delays, new products and higher inventory costs from higher raw material costs, manufacturing and freight costs and to address the high backlog of customer orders. In addition, trade payables decreased compared to March 31, 2022, due to seasonal reduction. Trade payables increased in the current quarter compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022 due to higher sales in the current quarter.

Primary working capital and primary working capital percentages at July 3, 2022, March 31, 2022 and July 4, 2021 are computed as follows:


($ in Millions)
Balance At	Trade Receivables		Inventory		Accounts Payable		Total		Quarter Revenue Annualized		Primary Working Capital %
July 3, 2022	$	697.1	$	777.7	$	(343.3)	$	1,131.5	$	3,595.9	31.5	%

Investing activities used cash of $22.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 which primarily consisted of capital expenditures of $23.0 million relating to plant improvements.

Investing activities used cash of $13.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 which primarily consisted of capital expenditures of $16.4 million relating to plant improvements. We also received $3.3 million from the sale of our facilities in Europe.

Financing activities provided cash of $97.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we borrowed $163.2 million under the Second Amended Revolver and repaid $27.2 million of the Second Amended Revolver. Net repayments on short-term debt were $8.0 million. Treasury stock open market purchases were $22.9 million, payment of cash dividends to our stockholders were $7.1 million and payment of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards were $.6 million.

Financing activities provided cash of $10.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we borrowed $65.7 million under the Amended 2017 Revolver and repaid $5.7 million of the Amended 2017 Revolver. Repayment on the Amended 2017 Term Loan was $11.4 million and net borrowings on short-term debt were $5.5 million. Treasury stock open market purchases were $31.5 million, payment of cash dividends to our stockholders were $7.4 million and payment of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards were $4.8 million. Proceeds from stock options were $0.4 million.

Currency translation had a negative impact of $22.0 million on our cash balance in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to the positive impact of $4.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, principal currencies in which we do business such as the Euro, Polish zloty, Swiss Franc and British pound generally weakened versus the U.S. dollar.

As a result of the above, total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $19.2 million to $383.2 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to a decrease by $45.6 million to $406.2 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

Compliance with Debt Covenants

On July 15, 2021, we entered into a second amendment to our Amended Credit Facility that resulted in the extension of the maturity date for the Second Amended Credit Facility to September 30, 2026, resetting of the principal amortization with respect to the Amended Term Loan, refinancing and reducing the existing Amended Term Loan, increasing the revolving line of credit limit, and certain other modifications.

All obligations under our Second Amended Credit Facility are secured by, among other things, substantially all of our U.S. assets. The Second Amended Credit Facility contains various covenants which, absent prepayment in full of the indebtedness and other obligations, or the receipt of waivers, limit our ability to conduct certain specified business transactions, buy or sell assets out of the ordinary course of business, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, pay dividends and take certain other actions. There are no prepayment penalties on loans under this credit facility.

We are in compliance with all covenants and conditions under our Second Amended Credit Facility and Senior Notes. We believe that we will continue to comply with these covenants and conditions, and that we have the financial resources and the capital available to fund the foreseeable organic growth in our business and to remain active in pursuing further acquisition opportunities. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2022 Annual Report and Note 12 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a detailed description of our debt.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

A table of our obligations is contained in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Contractual Obligations of our 2022 Annual Report. As of July 3, 2022, we had no significant changes to our contractual obligations table contained in our 2022 Annual Report.


ITEM 3.			QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risks

Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in raw material costs, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We manage our exposure to these market risks through internally established policies and procedures and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Our policy does not allow speculation in derivative instruments for profit or execution of derivative instrument contracts for which there are no underlying exposures. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes and are not a party to any leveraged derivatives. We monitor our underlying market risk exposures on an ongoing basis and believe that we can modify or adapt our hedging strategies as needed.

Counterparty Risks

We have entered into lead forward purchase contracts, foreign exchange forward and purchased option contracts and cross currency fixed interest rate swaps to manage the risk associated with our exposures to fluctuations resulting from changes in raw material costs, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company’s agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions. Those contracts that result in a liability position at July 3, 2022 are $6.1 million (pre-tax). Those contracts that result in an asset position at July 3, 2022 are $23.5 million (pre-tax). The impact on the Company due to nonperformance by the counterparties has been evaluated and not deemed material.

During fiscal 2022, the Company entered into cross currency fixed interest rate swap agreements, with aggregate notional amounts of $300 million, to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between U.S. dollars and euros. These swaps mature on December 15, 2027. Depending on the movement in the exchange rates between U.S. dollars and euros at maturity, the Company may owe the counterparties an amount that is different from the original notional amount of $300 million.

Excluding the cross currency fixed interest rate swap agreements, the vast majority of these contracts will settle within one year.

Interest Rate Risks

We are exposed to changes in variable U.S. interest rates on borrowings under our credit agreements as well as short-term borrowings in our foreign subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased annual interest expense, by approximately $8.3 million on the variable rate portions of our debt.

Commodity Cost Risks – Lead Contracts

We have a significant risk in our exposure to certain raw materials. Our largest single raw material cost is for lead, for which the cost remains volatile. In order to hedge against increases in our lead cost, we have entered into forward contracts with financial institutions to fix the price of lead. A vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. We had the following contracts outstanding at the dates shown below:


Date	$’s Under Contract (in millions)		# Pounds Purchased (in millions)	Average Cost/Pound		Approximate % of Lead Requirements (1)
July 3, 2022	$	54.1	55.5	$	0.97	8	%
March 31, 2022	56.8		54.0	1.05		8
July 4, 2021	48.7		50.0	0.97		9

(1) Based on the fiscal year lead requirements for the periods then ended.

For the remaining three quarters of this fiscal year, we believe approximately 46% of the cost of our lead requirements is known. This takes into account the hedge contracts in place at July 3, 2022, lead purchased by July 3, 2022 that will be reflected in future costs under our FIFO accounting policy, and the benefit from our lead tolling program.

We estimate that a 10% increase in our cost of lead would have increased our cost of goods sold by approximately $23 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks

We manufacture and assemble our products globally in the Americas, EMEA and Asia. Approximately 40% of our sales and related expenses are transacted in foreign currencies. Our sales revenue, production costs, profit margins and competitive position are affected by the strength of the currencies in countries where we manufacture or purchase goods relative to the strength of the currencies in countries where our products are sold. Additionally, as we report our financial statements in U.S. dollars, our financial results are affected by the strength of the currencies in countries where we have operations relative to the strength of the U.S. dollar. The principal foreign currencies in which we conduct business are the Euro, Swiss franc, British pound, Polish zloty, Chinese renminbi, Canadian dollar, Brazilian Real and Mexican peso.

We quantify and monitor our global foreign currency exposures. Our largest foreign currency exposure is from the purchase and conversion of U.S. dollar based lead costs into local currencies in Europe. Additionally, we have currency exposures from intercompany financing and intercompany and third party trade transactions. On a selective basis, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and purchase option contracts to reduce the impact from the volatility of currency movements; however, we cannot be certain that foreign currency fluctuations will not impact our operations in the future.

We hedge approximately 5% - 10% of the nominal amount of our known foreign exchange transactional exposures. We primarily enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the earnings and cash flow impact of the variation of non-functional currency denominated receivables and payables. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year.

Gains and losses resulting from hedging instruments offset the foreign exchange gains or losses on the underlying assets and liabilities being hedged. The maturities of the forward exchange contracts generally coincide with the settlement dates of the related transactions. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in the same period as gains and losses on the hedged items. We also selectively hedge anticipated transactions that are subject to foreign exchange exposure, primarily with foreign currency exchange contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with Topic 815 - Derivatives and Hedging. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, we also entered into cross currency fixed interest rate swap agreements, to hedge our net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between U.S. dollars and euros.

At July 3, 2022 and July 4, 2021, we estimate that an unfavorable 10% movement in the exchange rates would have adversely changed our hedge valuations by approximately $36.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively.
