Message from the CEO

Q2 was a mixed quarter, with exceptionally strong demand and prolonged supply chain headwinds. Demand continued to accelerate across all of our lines of businesses, far exceeding pre-COVID levels. Revenue in the quarter was up 12% over last year with the full potential suppressed by lingering supply chain disruptions. Our backlog at quarter-end exceeded $1 billion for the first time in the company's history, nearly double historic levels. We have made substantial progress on our strategic and business development initiatives including 5G powering, transportation and defense market share, and next generation Motive Power products which collectively account for the majority of our backlog growth. We also welcome our core businesses such as Motive Power and Broadband returning to normalized order rates. As a result, our demand runway remains very strong and we expect this strength to continue throughout the remainder of the year and calendar 2022. Our pricing initiatives are beginning to take hold, especially in Energy Systems. However, our earnings potential was suppressed in Q2 by the disrupted supply of higher margin product components and continuing inflation out-pacing the timing of pricing realization. We anticipate seeing limited benefits from these pricing actions again in the third quarter, with the full benefit materializing when costs stabilize and we work through open orders, which could be as early as the fourth quarter. We continue to stay focused on execution in this unpredictable environment and remain confident in our underlying demand. We expect our adjusted diluted earnings per share to be between $0.96 and $1.06 in our third fiscal quarter.

David M. Shaffer, President and Chief Executive Officer, EnerSys

Net earnings attributable to EnerSys stockholders ("Net earnings") for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was $35.6 million, or $0.82 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $7.9 million, or $0.19 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 second quarter of fiscal 2021 was $35.7 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $7.5 million, or $0.17 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 second quarter of fiscal 2022, on a non-GAAP basis, were $1.01, compared to the guidance of $1.03 to $1.13 per diluted share for the second quarter given by the Company on August 11, 2021. These earnings compare to the prior year second quarter adjusted Net earnings of $1.00 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 includes tables reconciling GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted financial measures for the quarters ended October 3, 2021 and October 4, 2020.

Between October 4, 2021 through November 5, 2021, the Company repurchased 742,811 shares for approximately $57.0 million. Additionally, the Company announced on November 10, 2021, the establishment of a new $100 million stock repurchase program, with no expiration date.

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 were $791.4 million, an increase of 11.7% from the prior year second quarter net sales of $708.4 million and decreased 2.9% sequentially from the first quarter of fiscal 2022 net sales of $814.9 million. The increase compared to prior year quarter was the result of an 11% increase in organic volume resulting primarily from strong demand arising from robust markets and the easing of the pandemic and a 1% increase in pricing. The sequential decrease was the result of a decrease in organic volume.

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 measures "adjusted Net earnings" and "adjusted operating earnings" as applicable, in their analysis of the Company's performance. This measure, as used by EnerSys in past quarters and years, adjusts operating earnings and 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 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 Alpha and NorthStar related intangible assets and tax valuation allowance changes, including those related to the 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. 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%.

These non-GAAP disclosures have limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for operating earnings or 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 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 above, providing a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted operating earnings to the Company's reported operating results for its business segments. Included below is a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted Net earnings to reported amounts. Non-GAAP adjusted operating earnings and Net earnings are calculated excluding restructuring and other highlighted charges and credits. The following tables provide additional information regarding certain non-GAAP measures:
