NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of EnerSys (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K (SEC File No. 001-32253), which was filed on May 28, 2014 (the "2014 Annual Report").
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 2015 end on June 29, 2014, September 28, 2014, December 28, 2014, and March 31, 2015, respectively. The four quarters in fiscal 2014 ended on June 30, 2013, September 29, 2013, December 29, 2013, and March 31, 2014, 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.
The Company also consolidates certain subsidiaries in which the noncontrolling interest party has within its control the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of its interest in the subsidiary. The redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported at their estimated redemption value, and the amount presented in temporary equity is not less than the initial amount reported in temporary equity. Any adjustment to the redemption value impacts retained earnings but does not impact net income or comprehensive income. Noncontrolling interests which are redeemable only upon future events, the occurrence of which is not currently probable, are recorded at carrying value.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) providing guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016 (early adoption is not permitted). The guidance permits the use of either a full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on the consolidated financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

2. Acquisitions
In fiscal 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Purcell Systems, Inc., ("Purcell") Quallion, LLC., ("Quallion"), and UTS Holdings Sdn. Bhd. and its subsidiaries ("UTS") and assigned values and useful lives to assets acquired based on preliminary valuations. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company completed purchase accounting for Purcell and based on final valuations performed, trademarks were valued at $16,800, technology at $7,900, customer relationships at $35,700, and goodwill was recorded at $50,889. The useful lives of technology and customer relationships were estimated at 10 and 9 years, respectively. Trademarks were considered to be indefinite-lived assets.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company also completed purchase accounting for Quallion and based on final valuations performed, trademarks were valued at $500, technology at $4,400, customer relationships at $3,400, and goodwill was recorded at $13,502. The useful lives of technology and customer relationships were estimated at 20 and 14 years, respectively. Trademarks were considered to be indefinite-lived assets.
The Company expects to complete purchase accounting for UTS during fiscal 2015.

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 the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its 2014 Annual Report in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
The fair values for foreign currency forward contracts 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, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate carrying value due to their short maturities.
The fair value of the Company’s short-term debt approximates its carrying value, as it is variable rate debt and the terms are comparable to market terms as of the balance sheet dates and is classified as Level 2.
The Company’s senior 3.375% convertible notes (“Convertible Notes”), with an original face value of $172,500, were issued when the Company’s stock price was trading at $30.19 per share. On June 29, 2014, the Company’s stock price closed at $68.91 per share. The conversion rate of the Convertible Notes as of July 1, 2014, the date when the the holders were notified that they can submit the Convertible Notes for conversion was 24.9008 shares of the Company's common stock per one thousand dollars in principal amount of the Convertible Notes, which equated to $40.16 per share. The conversion rate may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes and the indenture under which the Convertible Notes were issued. The fair value of these notes represent the trading values based upon quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2. The Convertible Notes were trading at 173% of face value on June 29, 2014 and at 175% of face value on March 31, 2014. See Note 11 for further details.

The carrying amounts of the Convertible Notes at June 29, 2014 and March 31, 2014 represent the $172,306 and $172,500 principal value, less the unamortized debt discount (see Note 11 for further details).
(3)
The fair value amounts of the Convertible Notes at June 29, 2014 and March 31, 2014 represent the trading values of the Convertible Notes with a principal value of $172,306 and $172,500, respectively.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company utilizes derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates 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 Hedge Forward Contracts
The Company enters into lead hedge forward contracts to fix the price for a portion of its lead purchases. Management considers the lead hedge 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 and the notional amounts at June 29, 2014 and March 31, 2014 were 103.2 million pounds and 89.9 million pounds, respectively.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and purchased 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 June 29, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the Company had entered into a total of $72,730 and $70,332, respectively, of such contracts.
In the coming twelve months, the Company anticipates that $339 of pretax gain relating to lead and foreign currency forward contracts will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) as part of cost of goods sold. This amount represents the current unrealized impact of hedging lead and foreign exchange rates, which will change as market rates change in the future, and will ultimately be realized in the income statement as an offset to the corresponding actual changes in lead costs to be realized in connection with the variable lead cost and foreign exchange rates being 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 June 29, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the notional amount of these contracts was $19,188 and $22,461, respectively.

7. Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax provision consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provision for the first quarters of fiscal 2015 and 2014 were based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods.
The effective income tax rates for the first quarters of fiscal 2015 and 2014 were 25.3% and 27.8%, respectively. The rate decrease in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the prior year quarter is primarily due to a reduction in income taxes from the release of a previously recognized valuation allowance related to one of our domestic subsidiaries and changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions.

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

9. Commitments, Contingencies and Litigation
Litigation and Other Legal Matters
The Company is involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of its business, the results of which, in the opinion of management, are not likely to be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Altergy
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded a $58,184 legal proceedings charge in connection with an adverse arbitration result involving disputes between the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, EnerSys Delaware Inc. (“EDI”), and Altergy Systems (“Altergy”). EDI and Altergy were parties to a Supply and Distribution Agreement (the “SDA”) pursuant to which EDI was, among other things, granted the exclusive right to distribute and sell certain fuel cell products manufactured by Altergy for various applications throughout the United States. Commencing in 2011, various disputes arose and, because of the mandatory arbitration provision in the SDA, an arbitration action was filed by EDI in November 2012 seeking arbitration of claims relating to the SDA. In February 2013, EDI terminated the SDA. Following unsuccessful attempts to resolve their disputes by mediation in July 2013, the parties moved forward with arbitration in August 2013, where each party asserted various claims against the other.
After discovery, a hearing and post-hearing submissions by each party, on May 13, 2014, the arbitration panel issued an award in favor of Altergy. As a result, the arbitration panel concluded that Altergy should recover $58,184 in net money damages from EDI. On May 13, 2014, Altergy filed a petition with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California (the “District Court”) seeking to confirm the arbitration panel award as well as post-award, prejudgment interest at the rate of 5.75% and post-judgment interest at the applicable federal statutory rate.
On July 11, 2014, EDI filed a motion to vacate this award with the District Court. A hearing is scheduled before the District Court in late September 2014. While we are currently pursuing legal challenges of this award, there can be no assurances that this challenge will ultimately be successful. The full amount of the award was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 with an after tax expense of approximately $35,667. Adjustments to the accrual may be made in future periods depending on the outcome of this challenge.
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 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 is responsible for certain cleanup obligations at the former Yuasa battery facility in Sumter, South Carolina that predates its ownership of this facility. This manufacturing facility was closed in 2001 and is separate from the Company’s current metal fabrication facility in Sumter. The Company has established a reserve for this facility. As of June 29, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the reserves related to this facility were $2,902 and $2,915, respectively. Based on current information, the Company’s management believes these reserves are adequate to satisfy the Company’s environmental liabilities at this facility.

11


Lead Contracts
To stabilize its costs, the Company has entered into contracts with financial institutions to fix the price of lead. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. Under these contracts, at June 29, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the Company has hedged the price to purchase 103.2 million pounds and 89.9 million pounds of lead, respectively, for a total purchase price of $99,089 and $86,494, respectively.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company quantifies and monitors its global foreign currency exposures. On a selective basis, the Company will enter into foreign currency forward and purchased option contracts to reduce the volatility from currency movements that affect the Company. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. The Company’s largest exposure is from the purchase and conversion of U.S. dollar based lead costs into local currencies in EMEA. Additionally, the Company has currency exposures from intercompany and third party trade transactions. To hedge these exposures, the Company has entered into a total of $91,918 and $92,793, respectively, of foreign currency forward and purchased option contracts with financial institutions as of June 29, 2014 and March 31, 2014.

10. Restructuring Plans
During fiscal 2013, the Company announced a restructuring related to improving the efficiency of its manufacturing operations in EMEA. The Company estimates that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $7,000, primarily from cash expenses for employee severance-related payments and non-cash expenses associated with the write-off of certain fixed assets and inventory. The Company estimates that these actions will result in the reduction of approximately 130 employees upon completion. The Company recorded restructuring charges of $6,463 through fiscal 2014, consisting of non-cash charges of $1,399 and cash charges of $5,064 and recorded an additional charge of $236 during the first quarter of fiscal 2015. The Company incurred $3,700 of costs against the accrual through fiscal 2014, and incurred $686 in costs against the accrual during the first quarter of fiscal 2015. As of June 29, 2014, the reserve balance associated with these actions is $948. The Company expects to be committed to an additional $301 of restructuring charges in fiscal 2015 related to these actions, and expects to complete the program during fiscal 2015.
During fiscal 2014, the Company announced further restructuring programs to improve the efficiency of its manufacturing, sales and engineering operations in EMEA including the restructuring of its manufacturing operations in Bulgaria. The restructuring of the Bulgaria operations was announced during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and consists of the transfer of motive power and a portion of reserve power battery manufacturing to the Company's facilities in Western Europe. The Company estimates that the total charges for all actions announced during fiscal 2014 will amount to approximately $23,700, primarily from non-cash charges related to the write-off of fixed assets and inventory of $11,000, along with cash charges for employee severance-related payments and other charges of $12,700. The Company estimates that these actions will result in the reduction of approximately 500 employees upon completion. During fiscal 2014, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $19,039 consisting of non-cash charges of $10,089 related to the write-off of fixed assets and inventory, and cash charges of $8,950 related to employee severance. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015 the Company recorded an additional charge of $1,593 consisting of non-cash charges of $365 related to the write-off of inventory, and $1,228 related to other cash charges. During fiscal 2014, the Company incurred $2,130 in costs against the accrual and incurred an additional $5,080 against the accrual during the first quarter of fiscal 2015. As of June 29, 2014, the reserve balance associated with these actions is $3,100. The Company expects to be committed to an additional $3,068 of restructuring charges in fiscal 2015 related to these actions, comprising of $2,522 in severance and other charges and $546 in non-cash charges and expects to complete the program during fiscal 2015.

3.375% Convertible Notes
The Convertible Notes will mature on June 1, 2038, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Prior to maturity, the holders may convert their Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time after March 1, 2015 or prior to that date under certain circumstances. When issued, the initial conversion rate was 24.6305 shares of the Company's common stock per one thousand dollars in principal amount of Convertible Notes, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of $40.60 per share. The conversion rate as of July 1, 2014, the most recent date when the the holders were notified that they can submit the Convertible Notes for conversion, was 24.9008 shares of the Company's common stock per one thousand dollars in principal amount of the Convertible Notes due to the cumulative impact of cash dividends paid on the Company's common stock. The conversion price is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. It is the Company’s current intent to settle the principal amount of any conversions in cash, and any additional conversion consideration in cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination of cash and shares.
At any time after June 6, 2015, the Company may at its option redeem the Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.
Holders may convert their Convertible Notes prior to March 1, 2015, at the option of the holder, under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price (as defined in the indenture for the Convertible Notes) of a share of the Company's common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price in effect for the Convertible Notes on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, (ii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, or (iii) during the five business-day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” (as defined in the indenture for the Convertible Notes) of the Convertible Notes for each day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the “last reported sale price” (as defined in the indenture for the Convertible Notes) of a share of the Company's common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such day.
At June 30, 2014, the closing price of the Company's common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price for more than 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending June 30, 2014, thereby satisfying one of the early conversion events and as a result, the Convertible Notes became convertible on demand, and the holders were notified that they can elect to submit the Convertible Notes for conversion, between the notification date of July 1, 2014 and September 30, 2014. The carrying value of the Convertible Notes of $164,699 continues to be reported as long-term debt on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of June 29, 2014 as the Company intends to draw on the 2011 Credit Facility to settle, at a minimum, the principal amount of any such conversions in cash. No gain or loss was recognized when the Convertible Notes became convertible.
This optional conversion period is reset each quarter and the Company will reassess on the last day of each calendar quarter.
In addition, upon becoming convertible, a portion of the equity component that was recorded upon the issuance of the Convertible Notes was considered redeemable and that portion of the equity was reclassified to temporary equity in the consolidated balance sheet. Such amount was determined based on the cash consideration to be paid upon conversion and the carrying amount of the debt. As the holders of the Convertible Notes will be paid in cash for the principal amount and issued shares or a combination of cash and shares for the remaining value of the Convertible Notes, the reclassification into temporary equity as of June 29, 2014 was $7,607 based on the Convertible Notes principal of $172,306 and the carrying value of $164,699. If a conversion event takes place in the following quarter, this temporary equity balance will be recalculated based on the difference between the Convertible Notes principal and the debt carrying value. If the Convertible Notes are settled during the second quarter of fiscal 2015, an amount equal to the fair value of the liability component immediately prior to the settlement will be deducted from the fair value of the total settlement consideration transferred and allocated to the liability component. Any difference between the amount allocated to the liability and the net carrying amount of the Convertible Notes (including any unamortized debt issue costs and discount) will be recognized in earnings as a gain or loss on debt extinguishment. Any remaining consideration is allocated to the reacquisition of the equity component and will be recognized as a reduction of EnerSys stockholders’ equity.

The following represents the principal amount of the liability component, the unamortized discount, and the net carrying amount of the Convertible Notes as of June 29, 2014 and March 31, 2014:

As of June 29, 2014, the remaining discount will be amortized over a period of 11 months. The conversion price of the $172,306 in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes as of July 1, 2014, equated to $40.16 per share and the number of shares on which the aggregate consideration is to be delivered upon conversion is 4,290,557.
The effective interest rate on the liability component of the Convertible Notes was 8.50%. The amount of interest cost recognized for the amortization of the discount on the liability component of the Convertible Notes was $2,006 and $1,844, respectively, during the quarters ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013.
2011 Credit Facility
The Company is party to a $350,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, “2011 Credit Facility”) and, on July 8, 2014, amended the credit facility while also entering into an Incremental Commitment Agreement (“Incremental Commitment Agreement”) pursuant to which certain banks agreed to provide incremental term loan commitments of $150,000 and incremental revolving commitments of $150,000. Pursuant to these changes, the 2011 Credit Facility is now comprised of a $500,000 senior secured revolving credit facility and a $150,000 senior secured incremental term loan credit facility which matures on September 30, 2018. The 2011 Credit Facility may be increased by an aggregate amount of $300,000 in revolving commitments and/or one or more new tranches of term loans, under certain conditions. Both revolving loans and incremental term loans under the 2011 Credit Facility will bear interest, at the Company's option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus between 1.25% and 1.75% (based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio) or (ii) the Base Rate (which is the highest of (a) the Bank of America prime rate, and (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate) plus between 0.25% and 0.75% (based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio).
As of June 29, 2014, the Company had $163,600 outstanding in revolver borrowings.
Short-Term Debt
As of June 29, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the Company had $30,109 and $33,814, respectively, of short-term borrowings. The weighted-average interest rates on these borrowings were approximately 9% and 7%, respectively.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”) provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of EnerSys. EnerSys and its representatives may, from time to time, make written or verbal forward-looking statements, including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and its reports to stockholders. Generally, the inclusion of the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “estimate,” “will,” “plans,” or the negative of such terms and similar expressions identify statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that are intended to come within the safe harbor protection provided by those sections. All statements addressing operating performance, events, or developments that EnerSys expects or anticipates will occur in the future, including statements relating to sales growth, earnings or earnings per share growth, and market share, as well as statements expressing optimism or pessimism about future operating results, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. The forward-looking statements are and will be based on management’s then-current beliefs and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance and on information currently available to management, and are applicable only as of the dates of such statements.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements due to a number of uncertainties and risks, including the risks described in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2014 Annual Report") and other unforeseen risks. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, even if subsequently made available by us on our website or otherwise, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise these statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements for a number of reasons, including the following factors:
general cyclical patterns of the industries in which our customers operate;
the extent to which we cannot control our fixed and variable costs;
the raw materials in our products may experience significant fluctuations in market price and availability;
certain raw materials constitute hazardous materials that may give rise to costly environmental and safety claims;
legislation regarding the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in our products;
risks involved in our operations such as disruption of markets, changes in import and export laws, environmental regulations, currency restrictions and currency exchange rate fluctuations;
our ability to raise our selling prices to our customers when our product costs increase;
the extent to which we are able to efficiently utilize our global manufacturing facilities and optimize our capacity;
general economic conditions in the markets in which we operate;
competitiveness of the battery markets throughout the world;
our timely development of competitive new products and product enhancements in a changing environment and the acceptance of such products and product enhancements by customers;
our ability to adequately protect our proprietary intellectual property, technology and brand names;
litigation and regulatory proceedings to which we might be subject;
changes in our market share in the geographic business segments where we operate;
our ability to implement our cost reduction initiatives successfully and improve our profitability;
quality problems associated with our products;
our ability to implement business strategies, including our acquisition strategy, manufacturing expansion and restructuring plans;
our acquisition strategy may not be successful in locating advantageous targets;
our ability to successfully integrate any assets, liabilities, customers, systems and management personnel we acquire into our operations and our ability to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames;
our debt and debt service requirements which may restrict our operational and financial flexibility, as well as imposing unfavorable interest and financing costs;
our ability to maintain our existing credit facilities or obtain satisfactory new credit facilities;
adverse changes in our short and long-term debt levels under our credit facilities;
our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable-rate debt;

19


our ability to attract and retain qualified management and personnel;
our ability to maintain good relations with labor unions;
credit risk associated with our customers, including risk of insolvency and bankruptcy;
our ability to successfully recover in the event of a disaster affecting our infrastructure;
terrorist acts or acts of war, could cause damage or disruption to our operations, our suppliers, channels to market or customers, or could cause costs to increase, or create political or economic instability; and
the operation, capacity and security of our information systems and infrastructure.
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 Securities and Exchange Commission 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”, “primary working capital percentage” and capital expenditures in its evaluation of business segment 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 the world’s largest manufacturer, marketer and distributor of industrial batteries. We also manufacture, market and distribute related products such as chargers, power equipment, outdoor cabinet enclosures and battery accessories, and we provide related after-market and customer-support services for industrial batteries. We market and sell our products globally to over 10,000 customers in more than 100 countries through a network of distributors, independent representatives and our internal sales force.
We operate and manage our business in three geographic regions of the world—Americas, EMEA and Asia, as described below. Our business is highly decentralized with manufacturing locations throughout the world. More than half of our manufacturing capacity is located outside of the United States, and approximately 60% of our net sales were generated outside of the United States. The Company has three reportable segments based on geographic regions, defined as follows:
Americas, which includes North and South America, with our segment headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA;
EMEA, which includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with our segment headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland; and
Asia, which includes Asia, Australia and Oceania, with our segment headquarters in Singapore.
We have two primary product lines: reserve power and motive power products. Net sales classifications by product line are as follows:
Reserve power products are used for backup power for the continuous operation of critical applications in telecommunications systems, uninterruptible power systems, or “UPS” applications for computer and computer-controlled systems, and other specialty power applications, including security systems, premium starting, lighting and ignition applications, in switchgear, electrical control systems used in electric utilities, large-scale energy storage, energy pipelines, in commercial aircraft, satellites, military aircraft, submarines, ships and tactical vehicles. Reserve power products also include thermally managed cabinets and enclosures for electronic equipment and batteries.
Motive power products are used to provide power for electric industrial forklifts used in manufacturing, warehousing and other material handling applications as well as mining equipment, diesel locomotive starting and other rail equipment.
Economic Climate
Recent indicators continue to suggest a mixed trend in economic activity among the different geographical regions. The Americas economic activity continues to strengthen. Our Asia region is experiencing the fastest economic growth which has been positively impacted by increased capital spending in telecommunications. The EMEA economy appears to have stabilized and we expect moderate growth in this region.
Volatility of Commodities and Foreign Currencies
Our most significant commodity and foreign currency exposures are related to lead and the euro. Historically, volatility of commodity costs and foreign currency exchange rates have caused large swings in our production costs. As the global economic climate changes, we anticipate that our commodity costs may continue to fluctuate as they have in the past several years. Overall, on a consolidated basis, we have experienced stable trends more recently in our revenue and order rates, and commodity cost changes have not been substantial.

20


Customer Pricing
Our selling prices fluctuated during the last several years to offset the volatile cost of commodities. Approximately 35% of our revenue is currently subject to agreements that adjust pricing to a market-based index for lead. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, our selling prices increased slightly, compared to the comparable prior year period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our capital structure and liquidity remain strong. We amended our 2011 Credit Facility to provide additional liquidity for flexibility in funding the expected conversion of the Convertible Notes in fiscal 2016. As of June 29, 2014, we had $234.9 million of cash and cash equivalents and $318 million, undrawn and available under all our lines of credit including approximately $133 million of uncommitted credit lines. 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.
The Convertible Notes became convertible at the option of the holders effective January 2, 2014, and continue to remain convertible through September 30, 2014, as described in Note 11. If the Convertible Notes holders elect to exercise their conversion rights, we would pay the principal amount by drawing on our 2011 Credit Facility and, at our election, issue shares or pay cash for any remaining value.
Other than the 2011 Credit Facility and the Convertible Notes, we have no other significant amount of long-term debt maturing in the near future.
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.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 110 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Operating expenses, excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, increased $11.3 million or 14.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase in operating expenses in the quarter is primarily due to increased sales volume, acquisitions, acquisition related fees and payroll related expenses. Selling expenses, our main component of operating expenses, were 58.5% of total operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to 60.7% of total operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
Restructuring charges
Included in our first quarter of fiscal 2015 operating results are $1.8 million of restructuring charges in EMEA, primarily for staff reductions and other cash charges in EMEA related to the relocation of our motive power and a portion of our reserve power manufacturing from Bulgaria to our existing facilities in Western Europe.

Operating earnings increased $9.1 million or 14.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Operating earnings as a percentage of net sales, increased 80 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2014.
The Americas segment had a decrease in operating earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2014, with the operating margin decreasing 70 basis points to 12.5%. This decrease in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the prior year quarter is primarily attributable to a decrease in organic volume and higher operating expenses, partially offset by lower commodity costs.
The EMEA segment's operating earnings, excluding restructuring charges discussed above, increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2014, with the operating margin increasing 480 basis points to 11.8%. This improvement in EMEA earnings primarily reflects a favorable customer mix, lower commodity costs and benefits of the restructuring programs.
Operating earnings decreased in the Asia segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2014, with the operating margin decreasing by 470 basis points to 5.6% primarily due to under utilization of reserve power plant capacity in China and costs associated with our subsidiary in India.

Interest expense of $4.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 (net of interest income of $0.3 million) was $0.6 million higher than the interest expense of $4.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 (net of interest income of $0.3 million). The increase in interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2014 is primarily due to higher average debt outstanding.
Included in interest expense are non-cash charges for deferred financing fees of $0.3 million in both the the first quarters of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014.
Included in interest expense is non-cash, accreted interest on the Convertible Notes of $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and $1.8 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. (For more information, see Note 11 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements)
Our average debt outstanding (reflecting the reduction of the Convertible Notes discount) was $325.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, compared to $177.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The increase in the quarter compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was mainly due to borrowings under our 2011 Credit Facility. The average Convertible Notes discount excluded from our average debt outstanding was $8.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and $16.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

Other (income) expense, net in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was an expense of $1.0 million compared to an expense of $2.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The favorable impact in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 is mainly attributable to lower foreign currency losses of $0.8 million in the current quarter, compared to $1.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

The Company’s income tax provision consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provision for the first quarters of fiscal 2015 and 2014 were based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods.
The effective income tax rates for the first quarters of fiscal 2015 and 2014 were 25.3% and 27.8%, respectively. The rate decrease in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the prior year quarter is primarily due to a reduction in income taxes from the release of a previously recognized valuation allowance related to one of our domestic subsidiaries and changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions.


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those discussed under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2014 Annual Report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating activities provided cash of $41.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $34.4 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2014. In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, net earnings of $49.1 million, depreciation and amortization of $14.3 million, non-cash charges relating to restructuring charges of $0.4 million were partially offset by cash used for the increase in primary working capital of $19.4 million, net of currency translation changes. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, net earnings of $40.4 million and depreciation and amortization of $12.6 million were offset by cash used for the increase in primary working capital of $14.3 million, net of currency translation changes.
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 $683.0 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 26.9%) at June 29, 2014, $666.9 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 25.1%) at March 31, 2014 and $559.3 million at June 30, 2013 (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 23.4%). The primary working capital percentage of 26.9% at June 29, 2014 is 180 basis points higher than that for March 31, 2014, and is 350 basis points higher than that for the prior year period.
Primary working capital and primary working capital percentages at June 29, 2014March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 are computed as follows:

Investing activities used cash of $14.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $11.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and primarily comprised of capital expenditures.
Financing activities used cash of $31.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 primarily due to borrowings and repayments under the 2011 Credit Facility of $81.6 million and $43.0 million, respectively, repurchase of our common stock for $45.6 million and payment of cash dividends to our stockholders of $8.2 million. Taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards, net of option proceeds and related tax benefits resulted in a net outflow of $12.1 million. Net repayments on short-term debt were $3.9 million. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, financing activities used cash of $31.9 million, primarily due to the repurchase of our common stock for $22.0 million and payment of a cash dividend to our stockholders of $6.0 million. Taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards, net of option proceeds and related tax benefits resulted in a net outflow of $3.3 million. Repayments on short-term debt were $0.5 million.
As a result of the above, total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $5.2 million to $234.9 million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to a decrease of $9.3 million to $240.1 million, in the comparable period of fiscal 2014.
All obligations under our 2011 Credit Facility are secured by, among other things, substantially all of our U.S. assets. This credit agreement 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 credit agreement. 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 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2014 Annual Report and Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a detailed description of our debt.

ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risks
Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and raw material costs. 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 and foreign exchange forward and purchased option contracts to manage the risk associated with our exposures to fluctuations resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and raw material costs. The Company’s agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions. Those contracts that result in a liability position at June 29, 2014 are $0.6 million (pre-tax), therefore, there is minimal risk of nonperformance by these counterparties. Those contracts that result in an asset position at June 29, 2014 are $2.4 million (pre-tax) and the vast majority of these will settle within one year. The impact on the Company due to nonperformance by the counterparties has been evaluated and not deemed material.
Interest Rate Risks
We are exposed to changes in variable U.S. interest rates on borrowings under our 2011 Credit Facility. On a selective basis, from time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the negative impact that increases in interest rates could have on our outstanding variable rate debt. We had no interest rate swap agreements as of June 29, 2014 and March 31, 2014.
A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased interest expense, on an annualized basis, by approximately $1.9 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:

Based on approximate annual lead requirements for the periods then ended.
For the remaining three quarters of this fiscal year, we believe approximately 56% of the cost of our lead requirements is known. This takes into account the hedge contracts in place at June 29, 2014, lead purchased by June 29, 2014 that will be reflected in future costs under our FIFO accounting treatment, 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 $15 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks

We manufacture and assemble our products globally in the Americas, EMEA and Asia. Approximately 60% of our sales and 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 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 trade transactions. On a selective basis, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and 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.

26


To hedge these exposures, we have entered into forward contracts and purchased options with financial institutions to fix the value at which we will buy or sell certain currencies. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. Forward contracts outstanding as of June 29, 2014 and March 31, 2014 were $91.9 million and $92.8 million, respectively. The details of contracts outstanding as of June 29, 2014 were as follows:
