“We delivered strong earnings in the third quarter with adjusted diluted EPS ex 45X of $1.84, up 50%,” said Shawn O’Connell, President and Chief Executive Officer of EnerSys. “Margins expanded meaningfully across most areas of our business, driven by favorable product mix along with expense and pricing discipline. Net sales were up 1%, in line with the low end of our guidance range, as strong price/mix and favorable FX offset lower volumes, particularly in Motive Power, where market softness persists.

“Our EnerGize strategic framework is translating into tangible results. We are capturing realignment savings as planned and further refining our Centers of Excellence to improve execution speed, consistency, and returns.

“Looking ahead, we expect additional benefits from our EnerGize initiatives as we remain disciplined in a mixed end market environment. We are highly confident in our focused growth strategy, supported by durable secular demand trends, including the growing need for energy security and high-performance energy storage solutions,” O’Connell concluded.

Third Quarter 2026

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 were $919.1 million, an increase of 1.4% from the prior year third quarter net sales of $906.2 million and at the low end of the range of the third quarter of fiscal 2026 guidance of $920 million to $960 million. The increase compared to prior year quarter was the result of a 3% increase in pricing and a 2% increase in foreign currency translation, partially offset by a 4% decrease in organic volume.

Net earnings attributable to EnerSys stockholders (“Net earnings”) for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 were $90.4 million, or $2.40 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $13.8 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, from highlighted items described in further detail in the tables shown below, reconciling non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts.

Net earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 were $114.8 million, or $2.88 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $9.5 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, from highlighted items described in further detail in the tables shown below, reconciling non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts.

Excluding these highlighted items, adjusted Net earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, on a non-GAAP basis, were $2.77, compared to the guidance of $2.71 to $2.81 per diluted share for the third quarter given by the Company on November 5, 2025. These earnings compare to the prior year third quarter adjusted Net earnings of $3.12 per diluted share.

Fiscal Year to Date 2026

Net sales for the nine months of fiscal 2026 were $2,763.4 million, an increase of 4.6% from the prior year nine months net sales of $2,642.8 million. This increase was due to a 2% increase in pricing, a 2% increase in acquisitions, and a 2% increase in foreign currency translation, partially offset by a 1% decrease in organic volume.

Net earnings for the nine months of fiscal 2026 were $216.3 million, or $5.65 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $66.5 million, or $1.73 per diluted share, from highlighted items described in further detail in the tables shown below, reconciling non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts.

Net earnings for the nine months of fiscal 2025 were $267.2 million, or $6.58 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $24.6 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, from highlighted items described in further detail in the tables shown below, reconciling non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts.

Adjusted Net earnings per diluted share for the nine months of fiscal 2026, on a non-GAAP basis, were $7.38. This compares to the prior year nine months adjusted Net earnings of $7.19 per diluted share.

Quarterly Dividend

The Company announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend $0.2625 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable on March 27, 2026, to holders of record as of March 13, 2026.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of December 28, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $450.1 million and net debt as defined by our credit facility was $743.3 million. The net leverage ratio at the end of the third quarter was 1.2 X, down from 1.5 X in the prior year period due to the impact of lower debt and increased earnings. Capital expenditures during the third quarter were $13.3 million, down from $24.3 million in the prior year period. During the third quarter, cash from operating activities was $184.6 million, up from $81.1 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $171.3 million, as compared to $56.8 million in the prior year period. The increase in cash from operating activities and the increase in free cash flow were both bolstered by the expansion of the Company’s Receivables Purchasing Agreement during the quarter. Please refer to the section included herein under the heading “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of the Company’s use of non-GAAP adjusted financial information, which includes tables reconciling GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted financial measures for the quarters ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024.

The Company also returned approximately $93.7 million to shareholders through $84.1 million in share repurchases and $9.6 million through its quarterly dividend payment in the third quarter.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2026 Outlook

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, EnerSys expects:

• Net sales in the range of $960M to $1,000M
• IRC 45X benefits to cost of sales of $37M to $42M
• Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $2.95 to $3.05*
• Adjusted diluted EPS, ex 45X benefits, in the range of $1.91 to $2.01

For the full year fiscal 2026, EnerSys expects:

• Capital expenditures ~$80M

“Our third quarter results further validate the strength and resilience of our diversified business model, as well as the earnings power of EnerSys,” said Andrea Funk, EnerSys Chief Financial Officer. “We delivered record Q3 earnings excluding 45X benefits despite some market pressure in our Motive Power volumes.

“While we are encouraged by the Company’s overall trajectory and momentum in several key growth areas, we continue to see the impact of a dynamic macro environment on customer buying patterns. Consistent with our fourth quarter outlook and expectations we set at the beginning of the fiscal year, we expect full-year adjusted operating earnings growth, excluding 45X benefits, to outpace revenue growth, supported by ongoing opex savings, sustained price/mix strength, and improving, though still soft, Motive Power volumes.

“Operational efficiencies aligned with our EnerGize strategic framework are taking hold, with continued progress in process optimization, capital allocation discipline, and manufacturing performance. These actions are positioning the business for long-term top-line growth and margin expansion,” concluded Funk.

*Inclusive of IRC 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Credits.

Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, ("GAAP"). EnerSys' management uses the non-GAAP measures “adjusted Net earnings”, “adjusted diluted EPS”, "reported Net earnings excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit", "adjusted Net earnings excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit", "reported Net earnings (loss) per share excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit", " adjusted diluted EPS excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit", "GM excluding (ex) 45X", "adjusted operating earnings", "adjusted gross profit", "adjusted gross margin", "EBITDA", “adjusted EBITDA”, "adjusted EBITDA per credit agreement", "net debt", "net leverage ratio", "free cash flow", and "adjusted free cash flow conversion" as applicable, in their analysis of the Company's performance. Adjusted Net earnings, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, and adjusted operating earnings measures, as used by EnerSys in past quarters and years, adjusts Net earnings, gross profit, gross margin, and operating earnings determined in accordance with GAAP to reflect changes in financial results associated with the Company's restructuring initiatives and other highlighted charges and income items. Reported Net earnings excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit, adjusted Net earnings excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit, reported Net earnings (loss) per share excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit, adjusted diluted EPS excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit, and GM excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit as used by EnerSys in past quarters and years, adjusted Net earnings, adjusted Net earnings, Net earnings (loss) per share, adjusted diluted EPS, and gross margin to reflect the financial impact of IRC 45X. Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our operating performance. Because adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use this measure as an overall assessment of our performance, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and for business planning purposes. We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest income, interest expense, other (income) expense net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude restructuring and exit activities, impairment of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles and other assets, acquisition activities and those charges and credits that are not directly related to operating unit performance. EBITDA is calculated as net income before interest income, interest expense, other (income) expense net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define adjusted EBITDA per credit agreement as net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain charges or credits as permitted by our credit agreements, that were recorded during the periods presented. We define non-GAAP net debt as total debt, finance lease obligations and letters of credit, net of all cash and cash equivalents, as defined in the Fourth Amended Credit Facility on the balance sheet as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter. We define non-GAAP net leverage ratio as non-GAAP net debt divided by last twelve months adjusted EBITDA per credit agreement. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by or used in operating activities less capital expenditures. We define adjusted free cash flow conversion as free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion are used by investors, financial analysts, rating agencies and management to help evaluate the Company’s ability to generate cash to pursue incremental opportunities aimed toward enhancing shareholder value. Management believes the presentation of these financial measures reflecting these non-GAAP adjustments provides important supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of the Company as distinct from results that include items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results and overall business performance; in particular, those charges that the Company incurs as a result of restructuring activities, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles and other assets, acquisition activities and those charges and credits that are not directly related to operating unit performance, such as significant legal proceedings, amortization of intangible assets, tax valuation allowance changes, withholding tax from repatriation of prior period earnings, and impacts of changes or reform to income tax laws. Because these charges are not incurred as a result of ongoing operations, or are incurred as a result of a potential or previous acquisition, they are not as helpful a measure of the performance of our underlying business, particularly in light of their unpredictable nature and are difficult to forecast. Although we exclude the amortization of purchased intangibles from these non-GAAP measures, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.

Income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments are calculated using the applicable statutory tax rate for the jurisdictions in which the charges (benefits) are incurred, while taking into consideration any valuation allowances. For those items which are non-taxable, the tax expense (benefit) is calculated at 0%.

EnerSys does not provide a quantitative reconciliation of the Company’s projected range for adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 to diluted earnings per share, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. EnerSys' adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS without IRC 45X benefit guidance for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 excludes certain items, including but not limited to certain non-cash, large and/or unpredictable charges and benefits, charges from restructuring and exit activities, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, acquisition and disposition activities, legal judgments, settlements, or other matters, and tax positions, that are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict, can be dependent on future events that are less capable of being controlled or reliably predicted by management and are not part of the Company's routine operating activities can be dependent on future events that are less capable of being controlled or reliably predicted by management and are not part of the Company's routine operating activities. Due to the uncertainty of the occurrence or timing of these future excluded items, management cannot accurately forecast many of these items for internal use and therefore cannot create a quantitative adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 to diluted earnings per share reconciliation without unreasonable efforts.

These non-GAAP disclosures have limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for operating earnings, Net earnings or net income 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 will be helpful in understanding the Company's ongoing operating results. This supplemental presentation should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to Net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted operating earnings is set forth in the table below, providing a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted operating earnings to the Company’s reported operating results for its business segments. Corporate and other includes amounts managed on a company-wide basis and not directly allocated to any reportable segments, primarily relating to IRC 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Credits. Also, included are start up costs for exploration of a new lithium plant as well as start-up operating expenses from the New Ventures operating segment.
