Exhibit 99.1 PRESS RELEASE, DATED AUGUST 11, 2010, OF ENERSYS REGARDING FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2011
EnerSys Reports First Quarter Fiscal 2011 Results
Reading, PA, USA, August 11, 2010 — EnerSys (NYSE: ENS) the global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications, announced today results for its first quarter of fiscal 2011, which ended on July 4, 2010.
Net earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 were $23.0 million or $0.47 per diluted share, including an unfavorable highlighted $0.01 per share impact from the $0.5 million, $0.7 million pre-tax, charge for restructuring plans. This compares to diluted net earnings per share of $0.17 for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, which included an unfavorable highlighted charge of $0.06 per share impact from the $2.5 million, $3.5 million pre-tax, charge for restructuring plans and the $0.3 million, $0.4 million pre-tax, expense related to activities for potential acquisitions.
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 were $435.0 million, an increase of 28% from the prior year first quarter net sales of $340.3 million and a 3% sequential quarterly decrease from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010’s net sales of $450.5 million. The 28% increase was the result of a 19% increase in organic volume, 6% from acquisitions, and 6% due to pricing, which was partially offset by a 3% decrease from weaker foreign currencies, primarily the euro and British pound. The sequential revenue decline of $15.5 million in the first quarter was due primarily to the effect of weaker foreign currencies.
Adjusted net earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, on a non-GAAP basis, were $0.48 per diluted share. This compares to the prior year first quarter net earnings of $0.23 per diluted share on an adjusted, non-GAAP basis. 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.
The Company’s operating results for its business segments for the first quarters of fiscal 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

“Our first quarter adjusted earnings of $0.48 per diluted share are the best first quarter earnings in our Company’s history. I am pleased with our performance in light of the current economic conditions. We continue to see strong
year over year and quarter over quarter growth in our incoming order rate. Our order backlog is now at a record level which bodes well for our future performance,” stated John D. Craig, chairman, president and chief executive officer of EnerSys. “We anticipate that the cost reduction and restructuring initiatives we have undertaken over the past three years coupled with our expectation of increasing sales volume will result in continued earnings improvement in the second half of this year.”
Craig added, “Our second quarter guidance for non-GAAP adjusted net earnings per diluted share will be between $0.49 to $0.53 which excludes the expected charge of $0.06 from our ongoing restructuring programs and acquisition expenses.”
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, “GAAP”. EnerSys’ management uses the non-GAAP measure “adjusted net earnings” in their analysis of the Company’s performance. This measure, as used by EnerSys in past quarters and years, adjusts net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP to reflect changes in financial results associated with the Company’s restructuring initiatives and highlighted charges and income items. Management believes the presentation of this financial measure reflecting these non-GAAP adjustments provides important supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of the Company as distinct from results that include items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results; in particular, those charges that the Company incurs as a result of restructuring activities associated with its acquisitions and those charges and credits that are not directly related to operating unit performance and are unusual in nature. Because these charges are incurred as a result of a potential acquisition, they are not a helpful measure of the performance of our underlying business. This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP, nor is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Management believes that this non-GAAP supplemental information will be helpful in understanding the Company’s ongoing operating results. This supplemental presentation should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP.
Included below is a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts. Non-GAAP adjusted net earnings are calculated excluding restructuring and other highlighted charges and credits. The following tables provide additional information regarding certain non-GAAP measures:
