NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of EnerSys (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Companys 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K (SEC File No. 001-32253) which was filed on June 11, 2008.
The Company reports interim financial information for 13-week periods, except for the first quarter, which always begins on April 1, and the fourth quarter, which always ends on March 31. The four fiscal quarters in 2009 end on June 29, 2008, September 28, 2008, December 28, 2008, and March 31, 2009, respectively. The four fiscal quarters in 2008 ended on July 1, 2007, September 30, 2007, December 30, 2007, and March 31, 2008, respectively.
In the first fiscal quarter of 2009, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities.
Also, in the first fiscal quarter of 2009, the Company adopted FASBs SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 2: ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS PENDING ADOPTION
On March 19, 2008 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161)) which is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company believes SFAS 161 will not have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.
7
On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)) which is intended to improve reporting by creating greater consistency in the accounting and financial reporting of business combinations, resulting in more complete, comparable, and relevant information for investors and other users of financial statements. To achieve this goal, the new standard requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all (and only) the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 141(R) on its financial position and results of operations.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position Paper APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (FSP APB 14-1). This FASB Staff Position (FSP) will change the accounting treatment for convertible securities which the issuer may settle fully or partially in cash. Under the final FSP, cash settled convertible securities will be separated into their debt and equity components. The value assigned to the debt component will be the estimated fair value, as of the issuance date, of a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature, and the difference between the proceeds for the convertible debt and the amount reflected as a debt liability will be recorded as additional paid-in capital. As a result, the debt will be recorded at a discount reflecting its below market coupon interest rate. The debt will subsequently be accreted to its par value over its expected life, with the rate of interest that reflects the market rate at issuance being reflected on the income statement. This change in methodology will affect the calculations of net income and earnings per share for many issuers of cash settled convertible securities. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued by the Company for the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company believes the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have the following impact on its financial position and results of operations, applied on a retrospective basis: the separation of our convertible debt into its debt and equity components will initially reduce long term debt and increase equity by approximately $45,000 and the accretion of debt discount will increase interest expense by a non-cash charge of approximately $5,000 in fiscal 2009, increasing up to $8,000 in fiscal 2015.

NOTE 3: ACQUISITIONS
In May 2007, the Company acquired approximately a 97% interest in Energia AD (Energia), a producer of industrial batteries, located in Targovishte, Bulgaria. The total purchase price for this transaction was approximately $17,000 including transaction costs and adjustments and was financed using cash and existing credit facilities. The acquisition provides the Company with an additional low cost manufacturing platform with substantial expansion potential and increases the Companys market presence in the rapidly growing Eastern European and Russian markets.
In connection with its acquisitions, the Company assesses and formulates plans related to the future integration of the acquired business. This process begins during the due diligence process and is generally concluded within twelve months of the acquisitions. Where necessary, the Company accrues estimates for certain costs related primarily to the business integration, anticipated at the date of the acquisition, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination, SFAS 141, Business Combinations and SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies. Adjustments to these estimates are made up to 12 months from the acquisition dates as plans are finalized.

NOTE 5: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
As discussed in Note 1, we adopted SFAS 157 on April 1, 2008, which among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about assets and liabilities measured at fair value. Our adoption of SFAS 157 was limited to financial assets and liabilities, which primarily relates to our derivative contracts. We utilize the market approach to measure fair value for our financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
SFAS 157 includes a fair value hierarchy that is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entitys pricing based upon their own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
Level 1 | Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
Level 2 | Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. | |
Level 3 | Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable. |
The following table represents our liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 29, 2008 and the basis for that measurement:

NOTE 6: ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVES
The Company accounts for derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities and SFAS 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (collectively, SFAS 133). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires that all derivatives be recognized as either assets or liabilities at fair value. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative trading purposes. Derivatives are used to hedge the volatility arising from movements in a portion of the cost of lead purchases as well as to hedge certain interest rates and foreign exchange rate risks. The changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income until the related purchased lead, incurred interest rates or foreign currency exposures are charged to earnings. At that time, the portion recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income is recognized in the Statements of Income. The amount of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income related to interest rates, lead and foreign exchange contracts at June 29, 2008 and March 31, 2008, net of tax, was an unrecognized loss of approximately $14,128 and $8,911, respectively.
During the first fiscal quarters of 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded (losses) gains of $(867) and $431, respectively, on interest rate swaps which were recorded as (increases) decreases in interest expense. During the first fiscal quarters of 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded (losses) gains of $(11,250) and $10,289, respectively, on the settlement of lead hedge contracts and (losses) of $(1,951) and ($735), respectively, on foreign currency hedges which were recorded as (increases) decreases to cost of goods sold or included in inventory at the respective quarter ends.
11
NOTE 7: INCOME TAXES
The Companys income tax provisions for all periods consist of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provisions for the first fiscal quarters of 2009 and 2008 were based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods. The effective tax rate in the first fiscal quarter 2009 was 25.1% compared to 31.2% in the comparable period of fiscal 2008. The reduction in the effective tax rate between periods is due to a lower effective tax rate on the gain from the sale of our manufacturing facility in England, and to a $1.1 million tax benefit recognized in the first fiscal quarter of 2009 primarily due to the settlement of a foreign tax audit.
The effective income tax rate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 was 30.7%. In fiscal 2008, changes in the mix of earnings among our various legal entities in multiple foreign jurisdictions had an approximate one percentage point decrease on our effective tax rate.
NOTE 8: WARRANTY
The Company provides for estimated product warranty expenses when the related products are sold, with related liabilities primarily included within accrued expenses. Warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, primarily historical claims experience, and claims costs may differ from amounts provided.

NOTE 9: COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION
Litigation and Other Legal Matters
In June 2008, The Court of Commerce in Lyon, France ruled that the Companys French subsidiary, EnerSys Sarl, was partially responsible for a 1999 fire in a French hotel under construction. EnerSys Sarls damages were assessed at 2.7 million euros, or $4,200. The Company intends to appeal this case but has recorded a $3,366 charge in the quarter ended June 29, 2008 to fully accrue the courts assessment. The remaining balance of approximately $800 had been accrued previously in connection with the Companys acquisition of ESG in 2002.
The Company is involved in other litigation incidental to the conduct of its business, the results of which, in the opinion of management, are not likely to be material to the Companys financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows (see Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Companys 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K).
Environmental Issues
As a result of its operations, the Company is subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign environmental laws and regulations and is exposed to the costs and risks of handling, processing, storing, transporting, and disposing of hazardous substances, especially lead and acid. The Companys operations are also subject to federal, state, local and foreign occupational safety and health regulations, including laws and regulations relating to exposure to lead in the workplace.
As more fully described in Notes 19 and 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Companys 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company is involved in ongoing environmental matters at certain of its United States and foreign facilities. The Company may have potential environmental liabilities at its Sumter, South Carolina facility and has established reserves in accrued restructuring and accrued expenses of approximately $4,007 at June 29, 2008, and March 31, 2008. Based on information available at this time, management believes that the Companys reserves are sufficient to satisfy its environmental liabilities. In the first fiscal quarter of 2009 the Company sold its Manchester, England manufacturing facility and removed $6,623 of environmental reserves associated with this location. The new owners have assumed the related environmental obligations.
Lead Contracts
To stabilize its costs, the Company has entered into contracts with financial institutions to fix the price of lead. Each such contract is for a period not extending beyond one year. Under these contracts, at June 29, 2008, and March 31, 2008, the Company was committed to purchase approximately 50,975 and 58,495 pounds of lead, respectively, for a total purchase price of $56,419 and $72,307, respectively.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company quantifies and monitors its global foreign currency exposures. On a selective basis the Company will enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the volatility from currency movements that affect the Company. The Companys largest exposure is from the purchase and conversion of U.S. dollar based lead costs into local currencies in Europe and China. Additionally, the Company has currency exposures from intercompany trade transactions. To hedge these exposures, the Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts with financial institutions as of June 29, 2008, and March 31, 2008, the Company had entered into a total $66,500 and $99,550, respectively, of foreign currency forward contracts.
13
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
The Company is exposed to changes in variable U.S. interest rates on borrowings under its credit agreements. On a selective basis, from time to time, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the negative impact that increases in interest rates could have on its outstanding variable debt interest expense. At June 29, 2008 and March 31, 2008, such agreements effectively convert $170,000 and $203,000, respectively, of the Companys variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, utilizing the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, as a floating rate reference. Fluctuations in LIBOR and fixed rates affect both the Companys net financial investment position and the amount of cash to be paid or received by it under these agreements.
In connection with the issuance of $172,500 aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured 3.375% convertible notes and the repayment of a portion of the senior secured Term Loan B in May 2008, the Company terminated $30,000 of interest rate swap agreements which had been placed in October, 2005, at a loss of $1,246.
NOTE 10: GAIN ON SALE OF MANUFACTURING FACILITY
In May 2008, as part of its ongoing European restructuring program, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $7,400 from the sale of its Manchester, England manufacturing facility and recorded a gain of approximately $10,884 ($8,597 net of tax). This sale is consistent with the Companys strategy to migrate its production to lower cost facilities. Included in the pre-tax gain was the removal of $6,623 in environmental reserves associated with the Manchester facility, that were created in purchase accounting in connection with an exit and restructuring plan for certain ESG facilities in North America and Europe in fiscal 2002, following the acquisition of ESG.
NOTE 11: RESTRUCTURING PLANS
The Company has acquisition related restructuring plans and non-acquisition related restructuring plans.
Acquisition related restructuring
The acquisition related restructuring plans were initiated in connection with the acquisition of Energia in May 2007, and the acquisition of the assets, stock and business of substantially all of the subsidiaries and affiliates comprising the Energy Storage Group of Invensys plc. (ESG) in 2002. The plans have been aggregated in the following table as the Energia activity is not considered material.
As discussed in Note 9, Commitments, Contingencies and Litigation, the Company may have potential environmental liabilities at its Sumter, South Carolina facility. Reserves for the Sumter facility are included in the non-acquisition related restructuring plans roll-forward shown below. The environmental reserves related to the Manchester facility, which was sold in May 2008, have been removed from the acquisition related restructuring reserves shown below, as the Company believes it is indemnified for possible future environmental obligations by the new owner. The Company relied upon Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination, SFAS 141, Business Combinations and SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, for the timing and measurement of these costs.

The Company is continuing to take actions consistent with its original plan to resolve these issues. A roll-forward of the acquisition related restructuring reserve for the first fiscal quarter of 2009 is as follows:

ESG acquisition
In 2002, following EnerSys acquisition of ESG, the Company formulated an exit and restructuring plan for certain ESG facilities in North America and Europe. One of our European facilities remains open after significant restructuring and now operates at a lower operating cost base. The facility identified in the United States has been closed and the Manchester, England facility has been sold. The balance of the ESG acquisition-related restructuring reserve at June 29, 2008, is $2,688, including employee severance liability in the United Kingdom of $1,097.
Energia acquisition
Following the May 2007 acquisition of Energia, and in connection with further European restructuring initiatives (see below), the Company announced its commitment to restructure certain of Energias operations primarily to facilitate the integration of Energia into the Companys worldwide operations. The balance of the Energia acquisition-related restructuring reserve at June 29, 2008, is $325, which the Company anticipates spending primarily during fiscal 2009.
Non-acquisition related restructuring plans
The non-acquisition related restructuring plans were initiated in connection with the following cost-reduction programs: in North and South America in fiscal 2002; in the European motive power segment in fiscal 2006; and in Europe in the first fiscal quarter of 2008, to facilitate the integration of Energia into the Companys operations. The Company based its accounting and disclosures primarily on the requirements of SFAS 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. As a result, charges to net earnings were made in the periods in which restructuring plans liabilities were incurred. These plans individually are not material and accordingly have been aggregated.
A roll-forward of these non-acquisition related restructuring reserves for the first fiscal quarter of 2009 is as follows:

North and South America
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002, the Company decided to close and downsize certain manufacturing locations in North and South America, reduce product offerings, reduce sales and distribution facilities, and implement other consolidation initiatives. As of June 29, 2008, the reserve balance associated with these actions is $2,419, a portion of which the Company expects to spend in the current fiscal year and the balance, primarily related to environmental costs, at an indeterminate time in the future.
Motive Power in Europe
During fiscal 2006, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $6,217, primarily for the motive power segment, to cover estimated costs in Europe for staff reductions of 112 employees, exiting a product line, and closing several ancillary locations. The charges included a non-cash write-off of $1,410, primarily for machinery and equipment. As of June 29, 2008, the reserve balance associated with these actions is $667, which mostly represents severance obligations the Company anticipates spending during this fiscal year or upon the individual employees determination.
European Restructuring
On May 23, 2007, the Company announced its commitment to restructure certain of its European operations. The restructuring will primarily facilitate the integration of Energias reserve and motive power businesses into the Companys worldwide operations. The restructuring is designed to improve operational efficiencies and eliminate redundant costs primarily as a result of the Energia transaction. Restructuring actions commenced upon the completion of the requisite labor consultations, and the Company expects to substantially complete these actions by the end of the fiscal 2009. The Company estimates that the total charges for the European restructuring, which will be completed this fiscal year, will amount to approximately $18,000, which includes cash expenses of approximately $14,000, primarily for employee severance-related payments, and a non-cash charge of approximately $4,000, primarily for fixed asset impairments. Based on actual commitments through June 29, 2008, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $15,349. The charge was comprised of $11,486 as a restructuring accrual, primarily in Europe, for reductions of 174 staff and $3,863 for a non-cash impairment charge for machinery and equipment. Based on actual commitments incurred in the first fiscal quarters of 2009 and 2008, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $2,158 and $9,857, respectively. As of June 29, 2009, the reserve balance associated with these actions is $2,648. The Company expects to spend the majority of this reserve in the current fiscal year.

NOTE 12: DEBT, WRITE-OFF OF DEFERRED FINANCING FEES AND LOSS ON TERMINATION OF INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENT
Senior Unsecured 3.375% Convertible Notes
In May 2008, the Company issued $172,500 aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured 3.375% convertible notes, and used the net proceeds of $168,200 to repay a portion of its then existing senior secured Term Loan B. The senior unsecured convertible notes are potentially convertible, at the option of the holders, into approximately 4.25 million shares of EnerSys common stock. It is the Companys current intent to settle the principal amount of any conversions in cash, and any additional conversion consideration in cash, shares of EnerSys common stock or a combination of cash and shares. The notes will mature on June 1, 2038, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.
At June 29, 2008, there was $172,500 outstanding under the senior unsecured 3.375% convertible notes.
In connection with the issuance of the $172,500 aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured 3.375% convertible notes and the repayment of a portion of the senior secured Term Loan B in May 2008, the Company terminated certain interest rate swap agreements and amended its $480,000 Senior Secured Credit Agreement and its Euro 25,000 Credit Agreement.
New Senior Secured Credit Facility
In June 2008, the Company completed the refinancing of approximately $192,000 of the outstanding combined balance of the senior secured Term Loan B and its then existing Revolver with a new $350,000 senior secured facility comprising $225,000 in Term A Loan and a new, undrawn $125,000 Revolver.
The $225,000 senior secured Term A Loan is subject to a quarterly principal amortization of 1.25% in Year 1, 1.88% in Years 2-3, 2.50% in Year 4, 3.13% in Year 5 and 14.38% in Year 6 and matures on June 27, 2014. The $125,000 revolving credit line matures on June 27, 2013. Borrowings under the credit agreements bear interest at a floating rate based, at our option, upon (i) a LIBOR rate plus an applicable percentage (currently 1.75%), or (ii) the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate, plus an applicable percentage (currently 0.75%). There are no prepayment penalties on loans under the $350,000 senior secured credit facility.
At June 29, 2008, there was $225,000 outstanding under the new Term A Loan, there were no borrowings under the revolving credit line.
At June 29, 2008 and March 31, 2008, there were $58,749 and $60,897 respectively, of borrowings outstanding outside the U.S.
Obligations under the new senior secured credit facility are secured by substantially all of our existing and hereafter acquired assets located in the United States, including substantially all of the capital stock of our United States subsidiaries that are guarantors under the new credit facility, and 65% of the capital stock of certain of our foreign subsidiaries that are owned by our United States companies. The Companys financing agreements contain various covenants that, absent prepayment in full of the indebtedness and other obligations, or the receipt of waivers, would limit the Companys ability to conduct certain specified business transactions including incurring debt, mergers, consolidations or similar transactions, buying or selling assets out of the ordinary course of business, engaging in sale and leaseback transactions, paying dividends and certain other actions. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants.
17
In connection with the issuance of the $172,500 senior unsecured 3.375% convertible notes and the refinancing under the new $350,000 senior secured credit facility, the Company wrote-off approximately $3,963 of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the prior senior secured credit facility, and incurred approximately $10,100 in new deferred financing costs for the issuance of the $172,500 senior unsecured 3.375% convertible notes and the refinancing under the new $350,000 senior secured credit facility, and terminated interest rate swap agreements of $30,000 which had been placed in October 2005, at a loss of $1,246.
Prior Senior Secured Credit Facility
The $355,900 senior secured Term Loan B was subject to a 0.25% quarterly principal amortization and matured on March 17, 2011. The $100,000 revolving credit line matured on March 17, 2009. Borrowings under the credit agreements bore interest at a floating rate based, at our option, upon (i) a LIBOR rate plus an applicable percentage (currently 1.75%), or (ii) the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the prime rate, plus an applicable percentage (currently 0.75%). The facility required prepayment based upon certain excess cash flow amounts, as defined. There was no prepayment penalty on loans under the $455,900 senior secured credit facility.
At March 31, 2008, there were $351,427 in borrowings outstanding under the prior Term Loan B and there were no borrowings under the revolving credit line.
Amendments of Credit Agreements
On May 16, 2008, the Company completed the Fifth Amendment to the $480,000 Senior Secured Credit Agreement which allowed for the issuance of up to $205,000 of unsecured indebtedness. The proceeds from the unsecured indebtedness were required be used to pay down the senior secured Term Loan B. On May 28, 2008, the Company used the net proceeds of $168,200 from the senior unsecured convertible notes to pay down a portion of the senior secured Term Loan B.
On May 15, 2008, the Company amended its Euro 25,000 Credit Agreement to allow for the issuance of up to $205,000 of unsecured indebtedness. The proceeds from the unsecured indebtedness were required to be used to pay down the senior secured Term Loan B. Additionally, the amendment authorized the Company to enter into a new $350,000 US Credit Agreement on terms substantially similar to the existing Credit Agreement.

The Company has a 401(k) plan covering all U.S. based employees who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
NOTE 14: EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS
At June 29, 2008, the Company maintained three equity incentive plans, the 2000 Management Equity Plan, the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, that reserve 11,289,232 shares of Common Stock for the grant of various classes of equity including nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other forms of equity-based compensation. The Companys equity incentive plans are used to provide an incentive to employees and non-employee directors of the Company to remain in the service of the Company and to increase their interest in the success of the Company in order to promote the long-term interests of the Company. The plans seek to promote the highest level of performance by providing an economic interest in the long-term performance of the Company. As of June 29, 2008, the Company had 1,867,795 shares available for future grants.
Stock Incentive Plans
Non-qualified stock options have been granted to employees under the equity incentive plans at prices not less than the fair market value of the shares on the dates the options were granted. Generally, options vest and become exercisable 25% per year over a four-year period from the date of grant. Non-qualified stock options issued in fiscal 2009 vest and become exercisable 331/3% per year over a three-year period from the date of grant. Options generally expire in 10 years.
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123, Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)) on April 1, 2006, using the modified-prospective method. Under SFAS 123(R), a public entity generally is required to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award, with such cost recognized over the applicable vesting period.
19
Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company began recording compensation cost related to the continued vesting of all stock options that remained unvested as of April 1, 2006, as well as for all stock options granted, modified or cancelled after the adoption date. Unvested options outstanding upon adoption that were accounted for under the minimum value method in accordance with SFAS 123 and APB 25, continue to be accounted for under the minimum value method. All other unvested options outstanding upon adoption will be accounted for under the modifiedprospective method.
The compensation cost to be recorded is based on the fair value at the grant date. The fair value of the options granted in the first fiscal quarter of 2009 was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 3.09%, dividend yield of zero, expected life of 5 years and expected volatility of 38.6%.
Company recognized equity-based compensation expense associated with stock option grants of approximately $390, with a related tax benefit of $120, for the first fiscal quarter of 2009, and $276, with a related tax benefit of $86, for the first fiscal quarter of 2008. For the full fiscal year 2008, the Company recognized equity-based compensation expense associated with stock option grants of approximately $1,168, with a related tax benefit of $358.

As of June 29, 2008, unrecognized compensation expense associated with the non-vested equity incentive awards outstanding was $13,875 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 30 months.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On July 26, 2004, the Company adopted, and its stockholders approved, an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The Plan was amended by the Board of Directors on November 9, 2004. This ESPP is considered by the Company to be non-compensatory and no compensation expense is recorded when shares are issued under the ESPP.
NOTE 15: EARNINGS PER SHARE
Net earnings per share basic is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Net earnings per share diluted gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period. At June 29, 2008, the Company had outstanding stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. Weighted average common shares basic and common shares diluted were as follows:

The aggregate number of shares that the Company could be obligated to issue upon conversion of its $172,500, 3.375% senior unsecured convertible notes due 2038, which the Company sold in May 2008, is approximately 4,248,761. It is the Companys current intent to settle the principal amount of any conversions in cash, and any additional conversion consideration in cash, shares of EnerSys common stock or a combination of cash and shares. No contingent shares were included in diluted shares outstanding during the first fiscal quarter of 2009, as the specified conversion price exceeded the average market price of the Companys common stock, and the inclusion of contingent shares would have been anti-dilutive.
NOTE 16: SECONDARY OFFERING
In May 2008, concurrently with the convertible note offering, certain of the Companys stockholders sold, 3,690,000 shares of EnerSys common stock pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 19, 2008. The offered shares were sold by those stockholders of the Company, including affiliates of Metalmark Capital LLC and certain other institutional stockholders.
In June 2007, certain of the Companys stockholders, including affiliates of Metalmark Capital LLC and certain other institutional stockholders, completed a secondary offering of 6,000,000 shares of the Companys common stock to Jefferies & Company, Inc. The offering closed on July 5, 2007.
The Company did not receive any proceeds from the common stock offerings, however, under the terms of its shareholders agreement, the Company did incur fees related to the offering of approximately $330 and $200, respectively, in the fiscal quarters ended June 29, 2008 and July 1, 2007.

In the following discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition, certain financial measures may be considered non-GAAP financial measures under Securities and Exchange Commission rules. These rules require supplemental explanation and reconciliation, which is provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. EnerSys management uses the non-GAAP measures, primary working capital and primary working capital percentage (see definitions in Liquidity and Capital Resources below) along with capital expenditures, in their evaluation of business segment cash flow and financial position performance. These disclosures have limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for cash flow determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Companys 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 is helpful in understanding the Companys ongoing operating results.
OVERVIEW
We are the worlds largest manufacturer, marketer and distributor of industrial batteries. We also manufacture, market and distribute related products such as chargers, power equipment and battery accessories, and we provide related after-market and customer-support services for industrial batteries. We market and sell our products globally to over 10,000 customers in more than 100 countries through a network of distributors, independent representatives and our internal sales force.
We have two business segments: reserve power and motive power. Net sales classifications by segment are as follows:
| Reserve power products are used for backup power for the continuous operation of critical applications in telecommunications systems, uninterruptible power systems, or UPS, applications for computer and computer-controlled |
25
systems, and other specialty power applications, including security systems, for premium starting, lighting and ignition applications, in switchgear and electrical control systems used in electric utilities and energy pipelines, and in commercial and military aircraft, Navy submarines, ships and tactical military vehicles. |
| Motive power products are used to provide power for manufacturing, warehousing and other material handling equipment, primarily electric industrial forklift trucks, mining equipment, and for diesel locomotive starting, rail car lighting and rail signaling equipment. |
We evaluate business segment performance based primarily upon operating earnings, exclusive of highlighted items. All corporate and centrally incurred regional costs are allocated to the business segments based principally on net sales. We evaluate business segment cash flow and financial position performance based primarily upon capital expenditures and primary working capital levels (see definition of primary working capital in Liquidity and Capital Resources below). Although we monitor the three elements of primary working capital (receivables, inventory and payables), our primary focus is on the total amount due to the significant impact it has on our cash flow and, as a result, our level of debt.
We operate and manage our business in three primary geographic regions of the worldthe Americas, Europe and Asia. Our business is highly decentralized with manufacturing locations throughout the world. More than half of our manufacturing capacity is located outside of the U.S. Over 60% of our net sales for the first fiscal quarters of 2009 and 2008 were generated outside of North America. Our management structure and financial reporting systems, and associated internal controls and procedures, are all consistent with our two business segments and three geographic regions in which we operate. We report on a March 31 fiscal year-end. Our financial results are largely driven by the following factors:
| general cyclical patterns of the industries in which our customers operate; |
| changes in our market share in the business segments and regions where we operate; |
| changes in our selling prices and, in periods when our product costs increase, our ability to raise our selling prices to pass such cost increases through to our customers; |
| the extent to which we are able to efficiently utilize our global manufacturing facilities and optimize their capacity; |
| the extent to which we can control our fixed and variable costs, including those for our raw materials, manufacturing, distribution and operating activities; |
| changes in our level of debt and changes in the variable interest rates under our credit facilities; and |
| the size and number of acquisitions and our ability to achieve their intended benefits. |
26
In fiscal 2008 and the first fiscal quarter of 2009, market conditions generally remained strong in the Europe and Asia regions, and slowed somewhat in the Americas region due to macro-economic conditions in the U.S. Lead prices hit record highs in fiscal 2008 and have fallen in the first fiscal quarter of 2009.
During the last three fiscal years, the costs of our raw materials, of which lead is our primary raw material, have risen significantly. Our estimated incremental lead cost, due to increased price, was approximately $64 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2009 over first fiscal quarter of 2008 and was approximately $222 million in full fiscal 2008 over full fiscal 2007. The highest price for lead on the London Metal Exchange during fiscal 2008 was $1.81 per pound on October 15, 2007. The highest and the lowest price for lead on the London Metal Exchange during the first fiscal quarter of 2009 was, respectively, $1.34 per pound on April 7, 2008 and $0.79 per pound on June 16, 2008. In July 2008, lead reached a high of approximately $1.02 per pound on July 29, 2008.
Our business strategy in this environment of volatile commodity costs is to improve profitability by pricing actions and cost savings, as well as to tightly control operating cash flow and capital spending.
We have implemented multiple selling price increases to offset some of the impact of rising commodity costs. Our selling price actions increased net sales by approximately 19% in the first fiscal quarter of 2009, compared to the comparable quarter of fiscal 2008. Due to declines in the cost of lead from the high in October 2007, we expect some of our sales prices will decline in future quarters to customers who purchase batteries from us under agreements that adjust pricing to market-based indexes for lead. Between 40% to 50% of our revenue from customers during the first fiscal quarter of 2009 were subject to such market-based index pricing adjustments.
See the discussion under the caption Market and Economic Conditions in Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, for a further discussion of commodity costs and our ability to offset some of the impact of these rising costs through selling price increases.
Cost savings programs remain a continuous element of our business strategy and are directed primarily at further reductions in plant manufacturing (labor and overhead), raw materials costs and our operating expenses (primarily selling, general and administrative). Our fiscal 2008-2009 European restructuring is an example of such a cost savings initiative (see Note 11 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

Net sales increased $162.2 million or 37.7% in the first fiscal quarter of 2009 over the comparable period in fiscal 2008. Stronger European currencies, primarily the euro as compared to the U.S. dollar, resulted in an increase in the first fiscal quarter of 2009 net sales of approximately $47 million or 11%. The euro to US dollar exchange rate averaged $1.57 ($/ ) in the first fiscal quarter of 2009 compared to $1.35 ($/ ) in the first fiscal quarter of 2008. Approximately 19% of the increase in our first fiscal quarter of 2009 sales growth rate is attributable to selling price recovery actions. Organic growth in sales (sales growth excluding the effects of foreign currency translation and price increases) in the first fiscal quarter of 2009 over the same period of 2008 was approximately 8%. Pricing recovery actions remain a primary focus of our Company.
The robust growth experienced in our motive power segment in fiscal 2006, 2007 and fiscal 2008 continued into the first fiscal quarter of 2009, with sales increasing 35.9% compared to the comparable period in the prior year. Pricing contributed 16% growth while foreign currency growth was 12% and organic growth was 8%. Our reserve power segment also achieved a strong first fiscal quarter 2009 improvement in sales of 40.1% compared to the prior year, with price increases contributing 22% growth and foreign currency and organic growth at 9% each.
28
All of our regions achieved solid net sales growth in the first fiscal quarter of 2009, compared to the comparable period of 2008 due primarily to continued strength in our end markets, particularly in the Europe and Asia regions and, we believe, an increase in our market share in those regions. Our European region sales in the first fiscal quarter of 2009, excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, increased approximately 23% in comparison to the first fiscal quarter of 2008, attributed primarily to increases in pricing and organic growth. Our Americas region sales in the first fiscal quarter of 2009, excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, increased approximately 29% in comparison to the first fiscal quarter of 2008, primarily due to increases in pricing and organic growth. Our Asia regions sales posted a strong growth excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, of approximately 52% in the first fiscal quarter of 2009, compared to the comparable period of 2008, due primarily to increased pricing and organic growth.

Gross profit increased 30.1% or $26 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2009 when compared to the first fiscal quarter of 2008. Gross profit percentage of net sales declined 110 basis points in the first fiscal quarter of 2009 in comparison to the comparable period in fiscal 2008. The decline in the gross profit percentage is attributable to higher raw material costs since our average selling prices are still lagging below those necessary to achieve our objective of improving our gross profit margin. We continue to believe this timing lag will improve, and in the future, remain an important focus of the Company. We estimate that the cost of lead alone, our most significant raw material, increased our costs by $64 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2009 compared to the first fiscal quarter of 2008 and by approximately $222 million in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007.
Strong efforts to pass through higher commodity costs via sales price increases continue to be made in all regions. We estimate that realized selling price increases were approximately 19% in the first fiscal quarter of 2009. Although selling price increases exceeded our commodity cost increases by approximately $10 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2009, our gross profit percentage declined. We estimate that realized selling price increases were approximately 14% in fiscal 2008 (which represents approximately 85% of the commodity cost increases experienced during fiscal 2008). Our sales initiatives will continue to emphasize pricing recovery for our products and continue to focus on improving product mix to higher margin products. Additionally, we remain highly focused on our long-standing and on-going cost reduction programs to help mitigate the rising cost of raw materials. These programs continue to be highly effective in reducing our costs and, accordingly, have had a significant impact in improving our operating results.

Included in our first fiscal quarter of 2009 operating results are $10.9 million of highlighted gains resulting from the sale of the Companys manufacturing facility in Manchester, England. Included in the gain was the release of $6.6 million of environmental reserves established through purchase accounting of the ESG acquisition in fiscal 2002. The sale of the facility was made possible by the ongoing European restructuring program and is consistent with the Companys strategy to migrate its production to lower cost facilities.
Included in our first fiscal quarter of 2009 operating results are $2.2 million of highlighted restructuring charges for additional staff reductions, primarily in Europe. Included in our first fiscal quarter of 2008 operating results are $9.9 million of highlighted restructuring charges that are comprised of a $5.0 million restructuring accrual, for staff reductions primarily in Europe, and a non-cash impairment charge of $4.9 million for machinery and equipment that were impaired as a result of the Energia acquisition.
The European restructuring charges for all of fiscal 2008 totaled $13.2 million, which was comprised of a $9.3 million restructuring accrual for staff reductions, primarily in Europe, and a non-cash impairment charge of $3.9 million for machinery and equipment that were impaired as a result of the Energia acquisition.
The Company expects to incur approximately $2.6 million of additional charges related to the European restructuring in the remainder of fiscal 2009.
Included in our first fiscal quarter of 2009 operating results are $3.4 million of highlighted expenses resulting from a June 2008 ruling from The Court of Commerce in Lyon, France that the Companys French subsidiary, EnerSys Sarl, was partially responsible for a 1999 fire in a French hotel under construction, which occurred prior to the acquisition of EnerSys Sarl in 2002.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
In the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities.
Also, in the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, for some entities, the application of SFAS 157 will change current practice. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position paper APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (FSP APB 14-1). This FASB Staff Position (FSP) will change the accounting treatment for convertible securities which the issuer may settle fully or partially in cash. Under the final FSP, cash settled convertible securities will be separated into their debt and equity components. The value assigned to the debt component will be the estimated fair value, as of the issuance date, of a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature, and the difference between the proceeds for the convertible debt and the amount reflected as a debt liability will be recorded as additional paid-in capital. As a result, the debt will be recorded at a discount reflecting its below market coupon interest rate. The debt will subsequently be accreted to its par value over its expected life, with the rate of interest that reflects the market rate at issuance being reflected on the income statement. This change in methodology will affect the calculations of net income and earnings per share for many issuers of cash settled convertible securities. This FSP is effective for financial statements issued by the Company for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010. The Company believes the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have the following impact on its financial position and results of operations, applied on a retrospective basis: the separation of our convertible debt into its debt and equity components will initially reduce long term debt and increase equity by approximately $45 million and the accretion of debt discount will increase interest expense by a non-cash charge of approximately $5 million in fiscal 2009, increasing to $8 million in fiscal 2015.
There have been no other material changes to our critical accounting policies from those discussed under the caption Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Operating activities provided cash of $9.3 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2009, compared to cash used of $8.3 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2008. Earnings before non-cash items increased $4.7 million and the use of primary working capital decreased $16.4 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2009 as compared to the first fiscal quarter of 2008. Additionally, changes in prepaid and other assets, accrued expenses and deferred taxes used $5.4 million more cash in the first fiscal quarter of 2009 as compared to the first fiscal quarter of 2008.
Earnings before non-cash items in the first fiscal quarter of 2009, which excluded primarily the gain on sale of our Manchester, England manufacturing facility, the write-off of deferred financing fees and depreciation and amortization, amounted to $29.4 million. Earnings before non-cash items in the first fiscal quarter of 2008, which excluded primarily a non-cash restructuring charge and depreciation and amortization, amounted to $24.7 million.
Primary working capital for this purpose is trade accounts receivable, plus inventories, minus trade accounts payable, and the resulting net amount is divided by the trailing three month net sales (annualized) to derive a primary working capital percentage. Primary working capital was $596.3 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 25.2%) at June 29, 2008, $578.2 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 24.8%) at March 31, 2008 and $425.9 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 24.8%) at July 1, 2007. The primary working capital percentage of 25.2% at June 29, 2008 is 0.4 percentage points above the March 31, 2008 and the prior year quarter end percentage of 24.8%, and follows a normal seasonal pattern, including inventory increases to ensure sufficient product to cover normal summer plant shutdowns, and includes in the current quarter, significantly higher lead costs. Primary working capital and primary working capital percentages at June 29, 2008, March 31, 2008 and July 1, 2007 are computed as follows:

Investing activities used cash of $5.7 million for the first three months of fiscal 2009, compared to cash used of $24.1 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2008. This decrease in spending was primarily due to the proceeds of $7.4 million received in the first fiscal quarter of 2009 from the sale of the Manchester, England facility, compared to the $15.2 million of cash paid in the prior year quarter primarily for the May 2007 Energia acquisition. Capital expenditures were $13.3 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2009, compared to $8.9 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2008. The current quarter capital spending includes the continuation of a capacity expansion of our thin plate, pure lead manufacturing facilities for which we anticipate spending $50 million during fiscal years 2008, 2009 and 2010.
35
Financing activities provided cash of $31.1 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2009, compared to cash provided of $11.1 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2008. During the first quarter of fiscal 2009, the Company repaid $351.4 million borrowed under its prior senior secured credit facility with the issuance of $172.5 million of unsecured convertible notes, and $225.0 million of Term A loans borrowed under its new $350 million senior secured credit facility. In addition, we repaid $15.3 million of short term debt in the first fiscal quarter of 2009, compared to an increase of $12.0 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2008, primarily for the May 2007 Energia acquisition. The exercise of stock options and the related tax benefits contributed $9.5 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2009, compared to $1.6 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2008. Finally, the Company made cash payments of $9.1 million for deferred financing costs related to the new unsecured convertible notes and senior secured credit facility.
As a result of the above, total cash increased by $35.0 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2009, compared to a cash decrease of $20.9 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2008.
At June 29, 2008, there was $225.0 million outstanding under the Term A Loans and $172.5 million outstanding in convertible notes. At March 31, 2008, there was $351.4 million outstanding under the Term B Loans. There were no borrowings under the revolving credit lines at June 29, 2008, and March 31, 2008.
All obligations under our U.S. Credit Agreement are secured by, among other things, substantially all of our U.S. assets. All obligations under our Euro Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of the shares of our Italian subsidiary and a guaranty of our subsidiary, EnerSys Capital Inc. Our U.S. and Euro Credit Agreements contain various covenants which, absent prepayment in full of the indebtedness and other obligations, or the receipt of waivers, limit our ability to conduct certain specified business transactions, buy or sell assets out of the ordinary course of business, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, pay dividends and take certain other actions.
We currently are in compliance with all covenants and conditions under our credit agreements. Since we believe that we will continue to comply with these covenants and conditions, we believe that we have adequate availability of funds to meet our cash requirements. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Companys 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a detailed description of debt.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In May 2008, concurrently with the convertible note offering, certain of the our stockholders sold, 3,690,000 shares of EnerSys common stock to Goldman, Sachs & Co. pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 19, 2008. The offered shares were sold by those stockholders of the Company, including affiliates of Metalmark Capital LLC and certain other institutional stockholders. In June 2007, certain of the our stockholders, including affiliates of Metalmark Capital LLC and certain other institutional stockholders, completed a secondary offering of 6,000,000 shares of EnerSys common stock to Jefferies & Company, Inc. The offering closed on July 5, 2007.
We did not receive any proceeds from the common stock offerings, however, under the terms of its shareholders agreement, we did incur fees related to the offering of approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in the fiscal quarters ended June 29, 2008 and July 1, 2007.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Market Risks
EnerSys cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and raw material costs. We manage our exposure to these market risks through internally established policies and procedures and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. EnerSys policy does not allow speculation in derivative instruments for profit or execution of derivative instrument contracts for which there are no underlying exposures. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes and are not a party to any leveraged derivatives. We monitor our underlying market risk exposures on an ongoing basis and believe that we can modify or adapt our hedging strategies as needed.
Interest Rate Risks
We are exposed to changes in variable U.S. interest rates on borrowings under our credit agreements. On a selective basis, from time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the negative impact that increases in interest rates could have on our outstanding variable rate debt. At June 29, 2008 and March 31, 2008 such agreements effectively convert $170.0 million and $203.0 million, respectively, of our variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, utilizing the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, as a floating rate reference. Fluctuations in LIBOR and fixed rates affect both our net financial investment position and the amount of cash to be paid or received by us under these agreements. The following commentary provides details for the outstanding interest rate swap agreements:
In October 2005, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix interest rates on $75.0 million of floating rate debt through December 22, 2010. The fixed rates per year plus an applicable credit spread began December 22, 2005, and are 4.25% during the first year, 4.525% the second year, 4.80% the third year, 5.075% the fourth year, and 5.47% in the fifth year.
In August 2007, we entered into interest rate swap agreements, which became effective in February 2008, to fix interest rates on $40.0 million of floating rate debt through February 22, 2011, at 4.85% per year.
In November 2007, we entered into interest rate swap agreements that become effective in May 2008, to fix interest rates on $40.0 million of floating rate debt through May 7, 2013, at 4.435% per year.
In December 2007, the Company entered into $45.0 million of interest rate swap agreements that become effective in February and May 2008, to fix the interest rates on $20.0 million of floating rate debt through February 22, 2013, at 4.134% per year and to fix the interest rates on $25.0 million of floating rate debt through May 7, 2013, at 4.138% per year.
In connection with the issuance of $172.5 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured 3.375% convertible notes and the repayment of a portion of the senior secured Term Loan B in May 2008, the Company terminated $30 million of interest rate swap agreements which had been placed in October, 2005, at a loss of $1.2 million.
In addition, the interest rate swap agreements below were effective through February 22 or May 5, 2008.
In February 2001, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rate on $60.0 million of our floating rate debt through February 22, 2006, at 5.59% per year. In April and May 2004, we amended these agreements to extend the maturity to February 22, 2008, and reduce the fixed rate to 5.16% per year beginning May 24, 2004.
In April 2004, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix interest rates on an additional $60.0 million of floating rate debt through May 5, 2008. The fixed rates per year began May 5, 2004, and are 2.85% during the first year, 3.15% the second year, 3.95% the third year and 4.75% in the fourth year.
37
In August 2004, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to fix interest rates on an additional $8.0 million of floating rate debt through May 5, 2008. The fixed rates per year began November 5, 2004, and are 2.85% during the first year, 3.15% the second year, 3.95% the third year and 4.20% in the fourth year.
A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase interest expense by approximately $1.1 million on the variable rate portions of our debt.
Commodity Cost Risks - Lead Contracts
We have a significant risk in our exposure to certain raw materials. Our largest single raw material cost is lead, for which the cost remains volatile. In order to hedge against increases in our lead cost, we have entered into contracts with financial institutions to fix the price of lead. Each such contract is for a period not extending beyond one year. We had the following contracts at the dates shown below:
Date |
$s Under Contract (in millions) |
# Pounds Purchased (in millions) |
Average Cost/Pound |
Approximate % of Lead Requirements (1) |
|||||||
June 29, 2008 |
$ | 56.4 | 51.0 | $ | 1.11 | 11 | % | ||||
March 31, 2008 |
72.3 | 58.5 | 1.24 | 12 | % | ||||||
July 1, 2007 |
$ | 26.4 | 37.2 | $ | 0.71 | 8 | % |
(1) | Based on approximate annual lead requirements for the periods then ended. |
For the remaining three quarters of this fiscal year, roughly one half of the cost of our lead requirements are known. This takes into account the hedge contracts in place at June 29, 2008, and lead purchased by June 29, 2008 that will be reflected in future costs under our FIFO accounting treatment, and the benefit from our lead tolling program.
We estimate that a 10% increase in our cost of lead over our estimated cost in fiscal 2008 would increase our annual total cost of goods sold by approximately $54 million or 3% of annualized first fiscal quarter of 2009 total cost of goods sold.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks
We manufacture and assemble our products primarily in China, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Poland, the United Kingdom and the United States. Over half of our sales and expenses are translated in foreign currencies. Our sales revenue, production costs, profit margins and competitive position are affected by the strength of the currencies in countries where we manufacture or purchase goods relative to the strength of the currencies in countries where our products are sold. Additionally, as we report our financial statements in the U.S. dollar, our financial results are affected by the strength of the currencies in countries where we have operations relative to the strength of the U.S. dollar. The principal foreign currencies in which we conduct business are the euro, British pound, Polish zloty and Chinese renminbi.
We quantify and monitor our global foreign currency exposures. On a selective basis we will enter into foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts to reduce our impact from the volatility of currency movements. Based primarily on statistical currency correlations on our exposures in fiscal 2008, we are highly confident that the pretax effect on annual earnings of changes in the principal currencies in which we conduct our business would not be in excess of approximately $8 million in more than one year out of twenty years.
38
Our largest exposure is from the purchase and conversion of U.S. dollar based lead costs into local currencies in Europe. Additionally, we have currency exposures from intercompany trade transactions. To hedge these exposures we have entered into forward contracts with financial institutions to fix the value at which we will buy or sell certain currencies. Each contract is for a period not extending beyond one year. As of June 29, 2008, and March 31, 2008, we had entered into a total of $66.5 million and $99.6 million, respectively, as follows:

Foreign exchange translation adjustments are recorded on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Based on changes in the timing and amount of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate movements and our actual exposures and hedges, actual gains and losses in the future may differ from our historical results.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Companys management, with the participation of the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
39
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
In June 2008, The Court of Commerce in Lyon, France ruled that the Companys French subsidiary, EnerSys Sarl, was partially responsible for a 1999 fire in a French hotel under construction. EnerSys Sarls damages were assessed at 2.7 million euros, or $4.2 million. The Company intends to appeal this case but has recorded a $3.4 million charge in the quarter ended June 29, 2008 to fully accrue the courts assessment. The remaining balance of approximately $0.8 million had been accrued previously in connection with our acquisition of ESG in 2002.
From time to time, we are involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business. We do not expect that any of this litigation, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
In addition to the other information set forth in this report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.
Item 2. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds |
Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer and Affiliated Purchasers
The following table summarizes the number of common shares we purchased from participants in our equity incentive plans.
