The increase compared to prior year quarter was the result of a 4% increase in pricing and a 3% increase in foreign currency translation, partially offset by a 6% decrease in organic volume.
Net earnings attributable to EnerSys stockholders (“Net earnings”) for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 were $77.3 million, or $2.05 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $42.8 million, or $1.14 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 fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, on a non-GAAP basis, were $3.19, compared to the guidance of $2.95 to $3.05 per diluted share for the fourth quarter given by the Company on February 4, 2026. These earnings compare to the prior year fourth quarter adjusted Net earnings of $2.97 per diluted share.

Fiscal Year 2026
Net sales for the twelve months of fiscal 2026 were $3,751.4 million, an increase of 3.7% from the prior year twelve months net sales of $3,617.6 million. This increase was due to a 3% increase in pricing, a 2% increase in foreign currency translation, and a 1% increase in acquisitions, partially offset by a 2% decrease in organic volume.
Net earnings for the twelve months of fiscal 2026 were $293.6 million, or $7.70 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $109.4 million, or $2.86 per diluted share, from highlighted items described in further detail in the tables shown below, reconciling non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts.

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 July 2, 2026, to holders of record as of June 19, 2026.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $438.7 million and net debt as defined by our credit facility was $684.1 million. The net leverage ratio at the end of the fourth quarter was 1.1 X, down from 1.3 X in the prior year period due to the impact of lower debt and increased earnings. Capital expenditures during the fourth quarter were $12.8 million, down from $30.2 million in the prior year period. During the fourth quarter, cash from operating activities was $144.0 million, up from $135.2 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $131.2 million, as compared to $105.0 million in the prior year period. The increase in cash from operating activities and the increase in free cash flow were both bolstered by improved primary operating capital 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 March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.
The Company also returned approximately $78.9 million to shareholders through $69.3 million in share repurchases and $9.6 million through its quarterly dividend payment in the fourth quarter.
First Quarter and Fiscal Year 2027 Outlook
In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, EnerSys expects:
- Net sales: $915M to $955M
- IRC 45X benefits to cost of sales: $42M to $47M
- Adjusted diluted EPS: $2.70 to $2.90*
- Adjusted diluted EPS, ex 45X benefits: $1.61 to $1.71
For the full year fiscal 2027, EnerSys expects:
- Capital expenditures ~$70M
“We closed fiscal year 2026 with strong financial performance, supported by disciplined execution and the benefits of our diversified portfolio,” said Andrea Funk, EnerSys Chief Financial Officer. “Strength in our Data Center, Communications and Aerospace and Defense businesses drove favorable price/mix that eclipsed inflationary cost increases and, along with realignment cost savings, supported our ability to deliver record full-year results. The breadth of our end markets helped offset the ongoing softness in our Motive Power and Transportation markets, where order trends improved sequentially during our fourth quarter.”
“We entered fiscal year 2027 with encouraging demand signals. Our first quarter fiscal 2027 outlook reflects typical seasonality, with expected net sales of $915 million to $955 million and adjusted diluted EPS excluding 45X of $1.61 to $1.71. We anticipate continued price/mix strength and benefits from our EnerGize strategic initiatives, as well as strong cash flow generation and disciplined capital allocation, including returning capital to shareholders, which position us to drive earnings growth as demand continues to normalize,” concluded Funk.
*Inclusive of IRC 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Credits.

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 fourth 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 fourth 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 first quarter of fiscal 2027 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.

(1)The $91.9 million adjustment to EBITDA in the last twelve months ending March 31, 2026 primarily related to $37.6 million of non-cash stock compensation and $53.2 million of restructuring and other exit charges. The $56.2 million adjustment to EBITDA in the last twelve months ending March 31, 2025 primarily related to $27.8 million of non-cash stock compensation, $22.0 million of restructuring and other exit charges, impairment of indefinite-lived intangibles and write-down of other current assets of $5.5 million.
(2)Debt includes finance lease obligations and letters of credit and is net of all U.S. cash and cash equivalents and foreign cash and investments, as defined in the Fourth Amended Credit Facility. In the last twelve months ending March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, the amounts deducted in the calculation of net debt were U.S. cash and cash equivalents and foreign cash investments of $438.7 million, and in fiscal 2025, were $343.1 million.
