Exhibit 99.1 PRESS RELEASE, DATED NOVEMBER 9, 2016, OF ENERSYS REGARDING FINANCIAL
RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER FISCAL 2017
EnerSys Reports Second Quarter Fiscal 2017 Results
Reading, PA, USA, November 9, 2016 -- EnerSys (NYSE: ENS) the global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications, announced today results for its second quarter of fiscal 2017, which ended on October 2, 2016.
Net earnings attributable to EnerSys stockholders (“Net earnings”) for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 were $45.6 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, including an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $4.8 million or $0.11 per share from cash and non-cash charges and credits from our restructuring plans and other highlighted items described in further detail in the tables reconciling non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts.
The Net earnings of $1.04 per diluted share compares to Net earnings of $0.87 per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2016, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $4.7 million or $0.10 per share from cash and non-cash charges and credits from our restructuring plans and other highlighted items.
Excluding these highlighted items, adjusted Net earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2017, on a non-GAAP basis, were $1.15, which exceeded the guidance of $1.06 to $1.10 per diluted share given by the Company on August 10, 2016. These earnings compare to the prior year second quarter adjusted Net earnings of $0.97 per diluted share. Please refer to the section included herein under the heading “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of the Company’s use of non-GAAP adjusted financial information which include tables reconciling GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted financial measures for the quarters and six months ended October 2, 2016 and September 27, 2015.
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2017 were $576.0 million, an increase of 1% from the prior year second quarter net sales of $569.1 million and a 4% sequential quarterly decrease from the first quarter of fiscal 2017 net sales of $600.6 million. The 1% increase compared to the prior year quarter was largely the result of a 2% increase in organic volume and a 1% increase from acquisitions, partially offset by a 2% decrease due to foreign currency translation impact.
The Company’s operating results for its business segments for the second quarters of fiscal 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

Net earnings for the six months of fiscal 2016 were $88.4 million, or $1.91 per diluted share, including an unfavorable net of tax impact of $3.0 million or $0.06 per share from cash and non-cash charges and credits from our restructuring plans and other highlighted items.
Adjusted Net earnings for the six months of fiscal 2017, on a non-GAAP basis, were $2.29 per diluted share.

Please refer to the section included herein under the heading “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of the Company's use of non-GAAP adjusted financial information.
Net sales for the six months of fiscal 2017 were $1,176.6 million, an increase of 4% from the net sales of $1,131.2 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2016.

“I am pleased with the results of the second quarter,” stated David M. Shaffer, Chief Executive Officer of EnerSys. “Even though we experienced second quarter records in adjusted gross profit, gross margin, operating margin and earnings per share, I know there remains room to improve our business. As we embark on our Lean journey, increased profitability will be driven by eliminating waste, increasing productivity, driving organic growth through cycle time compression and reducing costs to offset the recent increases in commodity prices. Our third quarter guidance for non-GAAP adjusted Net earnings per share is $1.12 to $1.16, which excludes an expected charge of $0.13 from our ongoing restructuring programs and acquisition expenses.”
Reconciliation of 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 measure “adjusted Net Earnings” in their analysis of the Company's performance. This measure, as used by EnerSys in past quarters and years, adjusts Net 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. Management believes the presentation of this financial measure 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; in particular, those charges that the Company incurs as a result of restructuring activities, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles and other assets and those charges and credits that are not directly related to operating unit performance, such as fees and expenses related to acquisition activities, stock-based compensation of senior executives, significant legal proceedings, ERP system implementation and tax valuation allowance changes. 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 a helpful measure of the performance of our underlying business particularly in light of their unpredictable nature. This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for Net Earnings 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 is it 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.
Included below is a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts. Non-GAAP adjusted Net Earnings are calculated excluding restructuring and other highlighted charges and credits. The following tables provide additional information regarding certain non-GAAP measures:
