READING, Pa., November 6, 2024 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- EnerSys (NYSE: ENS), the global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications, announced today results for its second quarter of fiscal 2025, which ended on September 29, 2024.
| Message from the CEO | ||||||||||||||
In the second quarter, EnerSys delivered revenue and EPS which were in line with our guidance ranges and demonstrated our ability to generate strong and accelerating financial results in an uncertain market environment through our balanced business portfolio.
Energy Systems achieved sequential performance improvement, albeit with continued softness in Communications end markets, with the results of our optimization initiatives flowing through to the bottom line. We saw higher order trends in Communications and Data Centers in the Americas, providing optimism in the market recovery momentum. Motive Power delivered record Q2 adjusted operating earnings, with volumes and margins increasing versus the prior year on consistent customer demand in Logistics and Warehousing, and ongoing customer enthusiasm for our maintenance-free offerings.
Specialty enjoyed excellent A&D results supplemented by the accretive impact of the Bren-Tronics acquisition which expands our lithium portfolio and presence in the defense market. Integration and results are exceeding our expectations. Although we grew our U.S. Transportation aftermarket volume, we were not able to offset the sluggish Class 8 truck OEM demand. The installation of our new production lines in Missouri are on track and will deliver improved productivity, capacity, and flexibility when Transportation and Communications market demand returns to normalized levels. In New Ventures, we installed our first Fast Charge & Storage (FC&S) system in September.
We were very pleased to announce during the quarter that we were selected for a $199 million award negotiation from the Department of Energy to partially fund our planned lithium gigafactory, and that we have received formal approval from our Board to proceed with this important project. We are currently finalizing award negotiations and our construction plans, conducting an environmental study, completing our supply chain selections, and hiring for strategic positions.
While we expect that market uncertainty will persist through the coming months, we are confident our second half of the fiscal year is on track to outperform the first half. We are bullish about our strong position as a leading provider of energy storage solutions as we continue to deliver innovative products and services in growing end markets where the need for access to reliable power is increasing exponentially. We remain focused on delivering profitable long-term growth for our shareholders.
David M. Shaffer, Chief Executive Officer, EnerSys

Summary of Results
Second Quarter 2025
Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 were $883.7 million, a decrease of 1.9% from the prior year second quarter net sales of $901.0 million, and in the range of the second quarter of fiscal 2025 guidance of $880 million to $920 million. The decrease compared to prior year quarter was the result of a 3% decrease in organic volume, a 1% decrease in pricing, partially offset by a 2% increase in acquisitions.
Net earnings attributable to EnerSys stockholders (“Net earnings”) for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 was $82.3 million, or $2.01 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $4.2 million, or $0.11 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 2024 was $65.2 million, or $1.56 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $11.3 million, or $0.28 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 2025, on a non-GAAP basis, were $2.12, compared to the guidance of $2.05 to $2.15 per diluted share for the second quarter given by the Company on August 7, 2024. These earnings compare to the prior year second quarter adjusted Net earnings of $1.84 per diluted share. Please refer to the section included herein under the heading “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of the Company’s use of non-GAAP adjusted financial information, which includes tables reconciling GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted financial measures for the quarters ended September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023.
Fiscal Year to Date 2025
Net sales for the six months of fiscal 2025 were $1,736.6 million, a decrease of 4.0% from the prior year six months net sales of $1,809.6 million. This decrease was due to a 3% decrease in organic volume, a 1% decrease in pricing, and a 1% decrease in foreign currency translation, partially offset by a 1% increase in acquisitions.
Net earnings for the six months of fiscal 2025 was $152.4 million, or $3.72 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $15.0 million, or $0.37 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 six months of fiscal 2024 was $132.0 million, or $3.17 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $23.1 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, from highlighted items described in further detail in the tables shown below, reconciling non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts.
Adjusted Net earnings per diluted share for the six months of fiscal 2025, on a non-GAAP basis, were $4.09. This compares to the prior year six months adjusted Net earnings of $3.72 per diluted share. 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.
Quarterly Dividend
The company announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per share of common stock payable on December 27, 2024, to holders of record as of December 13, 2024.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
As of September 29, 2024, cash and cash equivalents were $407.9 million and net debt was $839.6 million. The net leverage ratio at the end of the second quarter was 1.6 X, up from 1.4 X in the prior year period. Capital expenditures during the second quarter were $30.4 million, up from $19.8 million in the prior year period, driven by investments in plant improvements. During the second quarter, cash from operating activities was $33.6 million and free cash flow was $3.2 million.
The Company also returned approximately $73.1 million to shareholders through $63.5 million in share repurchases and $9.6 million through its quarterly dividend payment in the second quarter.
Third Quarter and Full Year 2025 Outlook
In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, EnerSys expects:
•Net sales in the range of $920M to $960M
•Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $2.20 to $2.30*
For the full year fiscal 2025, EnerSys expects:
•Net sales in the range of $3,675 to $3,765M, down from prior guidance of $3,735M to $3,885M
•Adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $8.75 to $9.05*, down from prior guidance of $8.80 to $9.20*
•Capital expenditures in the range of $100M to $120M
"While we are seeing encouraging demand trends in the majority of our end markets, including improving order rates in the Communications and Data Center markets and stable trends in our Motive Power and A&D businesses, we are managing our business prudently to navigate the continued spending pause in the Class 8 truck OEM market and near-term macro uncertainty. We are excited about our progress in New Ventures, delivering our first Fast Charge and Storage (FC&S) system at the end of the second quarter, but deployment schedules have been pushed out due to installation and site readiness challenges. As a result, we are modestly lowering our revenue range for our full year fiscal 2025. As we enter the second half of the year, we expect the profitability of our baseline business to deliver accelerating returns, driven by improving volumes, favorable product mix, the accretive contribution of Bren-Tronics, continued cost improvements, and benefits from operational efficiencies flowing through to our bottom line. We are excited to advance the next phase of our lithium-ion gigafactory in Greenville and expect to incur modest related non-capitalizable expenses in the second half of the year as we move forward with this strategic project. As a result, we are slightly lowering the mid-point of our full year fiscal 2025 adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance by $0.10 to account for these increased expenditures. We believe the global concern over energy scarcity will persist as major trends drive a swift rise in the demand for reliable power. As a key provider of energy systems and storage solutions, EnerSys is well-positioned to take advantage of this growth opportunity. We remain focused on delivering long-term value to our stockholders," said Andrea Funk, EnerSys Chief Financial Officer.

Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, ("GAAP"). EnerSys' management uses the non-GAAP measures “adjusted Net earnings”, “adjusted Diluted EPS”, “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. 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 non-GAAP 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 non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA per credit agreement. We define non-GAAP free cash flow as net cash provided by or used in operating activities less capital expenditures. We define non-GAAP 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 earnings per share for the third quarter and full year of fiscal 2025 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 earnings per share guidance for the third quarter and full year of fiscal 2025 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 earnings per share for the third quarter and full year of fiscal 2025 to diluted earnings per share reconciliation without unreasonable efforts.
These non-GAAP disclosures have limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for operating earnings, Net earnings or net income determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Management believes that this non-GAAP supplemental information will
be helpful in understanding the Company's ongoing operating results. This supplemental presentation should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to Net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP.
A reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted operating earnings is set forth in the table below, providing a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted operating earnings to the Company’s reported operating results for its business segments. Corporate and other includes amounts managed on a company-wide basis and not directly allocated to any reportable segments, primarily relating to IRA production tax credits. Also, included are start up costs for exploration of a new lithium plant as well as start-up operating expenses from the New Ventures operating segment.
