RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER FISCAL 2020

EnerSys Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2020 Results 

Reading, PA, USA, February 5, 2020 – EnerSys (NYSE: ENS), the global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications, announced today results for its third quarter fiscal 2020, which ended on December 29, 2019.

Net earnings attributable to EnerSys stockholders (“Net earnings”) for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 were $27.3 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $17.2 million, or $0.40 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 2019 were $48.4 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $2.0 million, or $0.05 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 2020, on a non-GAAP basis, were $1.04, which compared to guidance of $1.12 to $1.16 per diluted share for the third quarter given by the Company on November 6, 2019.

Our third quarter results were impacted by the fire in the formation area of our Richmond, KY motive power facility in late September, near the end of our second quarter. We adjusted our guidance for the anticipated negative impact on the third quarter from this fire by approximately $20 million in revenue. Due to complications in providing continuous electrical power to the facility during clean up and demolition, our impact was approximately $30 million in revenue. Our guidance for the fourth quarter does include an expected recovery on our business interruption coverage of approximately $15 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for lost sales in the second and third quarters.

These earnings compare to the prior year third quarter adjusted Net earnings of $1.17 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 ended December 29, 2019 and December 30, 2018.

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 were $763.7 million, an increase of 12% from the prior year third quarter net sales of $680.0 million and a 0.2% sequential quarterly increase from the second quarter of fiscal 2020 net sales of $762.1 million. The increase was the result of a 20% increase from the Alpha and NorthStar acquisitions, partially offset by a 5% decrease in organic volume, a 2% decrease in pricing and a 1% decrease in foreign currency translation impact. Sequentially, quarterly change was flat.

Net earnings for the nine months of fiscal 2020 were $138.6 million, or $3.23 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable net of tax impact of $14.5 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, from cash and non-cash charges 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 2019 were $141.7 million, or $3.31 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable net of tax impact of $8.3 million or $0.19 per diluted share from cash and non-cash charges highlighted items described in further detail in the tables shown below, reconciling non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts.

Adjusted Net earnings for the nine months of fiscal 2020, on a non-GAAP basis, were $3.57 per diluted share. This compares to the prior year nine months adjusted Net earnings of $3.50 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 nine months of fiscal 2020 were $2,306.0 million, an increase of 15% from the net sales of $2,011.4 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2019. This increase was the result of a 22% increase from the Alpha and NorthStar acquisitions, partially offset by a 4% decrease in organic volume, a 2% decrease in foreign currency translation impact and a 1% decrease in pricing.

“Our underlying business performance, absent the impact of the fire remains in line with our expectations,” stated David M. Shaffer, President and Chief Executive Officer of EnerSys. “With the NorthStar integration and high speed line implementation well underway, we remain confident about the positive impact that our additional TPPL capacity and opportunities in the Transportation, Systems, and premium Motive markets will have on our future results.” Mr. Shaffer added, “Our fourth quarter guidance for non-GAAP adjusted net earnings per diluted share is between $1.43 to $1.47, which excludes an expected charge of $0.25 primarily from highlighted items related to restructuring programs and amortization of Alpha's and NorthStar's identified intangible assets, but includes the $0.30 business interruption recovery previously mentioned.”







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” as applicable, 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 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, ERP system implementation, amortization of Alpha and NorthStar related intangible assets and tax valuation allowance changes, including those related to the adoption of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the United States and the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing in Switzerland. 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.

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%.

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:
