READING, Pa., November 5, 2025 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- EnerSys (NYSE: ENS), a global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications, announced today results for its second quarter of fiscal 2026, which ended on September 28, 2025.
“Our strong performance in the quarter reflects solid execution and our commitment to continuous improvement and collaboration across the organization,” said Shawn O’Connell, President and Chief Executive Officer of EnerSys. “We delivered net sales up 8% and adjusted diluted EPS ex 45X up 15%.
“We are beginning to realize the impact of our EnerGize strategic framework that we introduced last quarter. We expect these benefits to accelerate as we are increasing our rigor around R&D and CapEx investments, reallocating resources to focus on higher-return opportunities and executing with greater speed. At the same time, we are right-sizing the organization in order to generate meaningful reductions in operating expenses,” O’Connell added.
“We expect to see increasing benefits from our cost reduction initiatives and targeted new product introductions in the coming quarters. As we navigate the current environment of mixed end-market demand trends, we are optimistic but cautious about the near-term outlook. We remain focused on optimizing our core, invigorating our operating model, and accelerating growth through our strategic framework, EnerGize. We are positioning EnerSys for long-term sustainable success in delivering for our customers and generating value for our shareholders,” O’Connell concluded.

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 December 26, 2025, to holders of record as of December 12, 2025.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of September 28, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $388.6 million and net debt as defined by our credit facility was $842.0 million. The net leverage ratio at the end of the second quarter was 1.3 X, down from 1.6 X in the prior year period due to the impact of increased earnings and receipt of our U.S. federal tax return. Capital expenditures during the second quarter were $20.9 million, down from $30.4 million in the prior year period. During the second quarter, cash from operating activities was $218.0 million, up from $33.6 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $197.1 million, as compared to $3.2 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 receipt of our U.S. federal tax refund mentioned earlier. 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 September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024.
The Company also returned approximately $77.5 million to shareholders through $67.7 million in share repurchases and $9.8 million through its quarterly dividend payment in the second quarter.
Third Quarter and Full Year 2026 Outlook
In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, EnerSys expects:
- Net sales in the range of $920M to $960M
- IRC 45X benefits to cost of sales of $35M to $40M
- Adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $2.71 to $2.81*
- Adjusted diluted EPS, ex 45X benefits, in the range of $1.64 to $1.74
For the full year fiscal 2026, EnerSys expects:
- Capital expenditures ~$80M
“We are pleased with our second quarter results and trajectory, and remain confident in the earnings power of our business and our ability to navigate through evolving policy and macroeconomic conditions,” said Andrea Funk, EnerSys Chief Financial Officer.
“Our diversified business model continues to be a source of resilience. Operational efficiencies aligned with our EnerGize strategic framework are beginning to take hold, with early wins in process optimization, capital allocation discipline, and manufacturing performance. These initiatives are laying the groundwork for additional long-term top-line growth and margin expansion,” added Funk.
“While we are pleased with EnerSys’s overall trajectory and are seeing positive momentum across several key growth areas, we believe it remains prudent to keep full-year quantitative guidance paused due to the dynamic macro environment and its downstream effect on customer buying patterns. That said, we reaffirm our expectation that full-year adjusted operating earnings growth, excluding 45X benefits, will outpace revenue growth. We look forward to sharing details of our strategic roadmap and longer-term financial targets at our 2026 Investor Day on June 11, 2026,” 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 IRA production tax 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.
