NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

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 normal recurring adjustments 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 Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K (SEC File No. 001-32253), which was filed on May 25, 2012.

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 quarters in fiscal 2013 end on July 1, 2012, September 30, 2012, December 30, 2012, and March 31, 2013, respectively. The four quarters in fiscal 2012 ended on July 3, 2011, October 2, 2011, January 1, 2012, and March 31, 2012, respectively.

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and any partially-owned subsidiaries that the Company has the ability to control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company also consolidates certain subsidiaries in which the noncontrolling interest party has within its control the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of its interest in the subsidiary. The redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported at their estimated redemption value. Any adjustment to the redemption value impacts retained earnings but does not impact net income or comprehensive income. Noncontrolling interests which are redeemable only upon future events, the occurrence of which is not currently probable, are recorded at carrying value.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company conformed its presentation of results of operations, in accordance with new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income (loss). The guidance requires total comprehensive income (loss) for interim periods to be presented in single continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements. The new guidance does not change where the components of comprehensive income (loss) are recognized.

During the current quarter, no new accounting standards were adopted or pending adoption that would have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses the following valuation techniques to measure fair value for its financial assets and financial liabilities:

Level 1	Inputs are unadjusted 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 tables represent the financial assets and (liabilities), measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 and the basis for that measurement:

	Total Fair  Value Measurement December 30, 2012			Quoted Price in Active  Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Interest rate swap agreements	$	(1,511	)	$	—	$	(1,511	)	$	—
Lead forward contracts		3,685			—		3,685			—
Foreign currency forward contracts		1,290			—		1,290			—
Total derivatives	$	3,464		$	—	$	3,464		$	—

	Total Fair  Value Measurement March 31, 2012			Quoted Price in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Interest rate swap agreements	$	(3,872	)	$	—	$	(3,872	)	$	—
Lead forward contracts		(851	)		—		(851	)		—
Foreign currency forward contracts		782			—		782			—
Total derivatives	$	(3,941	)	$	—	$	(3,941	)	$	—

The fair value of interest rate swap agreements are based on observable prices as quoted for receiving the variable three month LIBOR and paying fixed interest rates and, therefore, were classified as Level 2.

The fair value of lead forward contracts are calculated using observable prices for lead as quoted on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”) and, therefore, were classified as Level 2.

The fair value for foreign currency forward contracts are based upon current quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2 based on the nature of the underlying market in which these derivatives are traded.

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate carrying value due to their short maturities.

The fair value of the Company’s 2011 Credit Facility, the China Term Loan, the India Term Loan and short-term debt approximate their carrying value, as they are variable rate debt and the terms are comparable to market terms as of the balance sheet dates and are classified as Level 2.

9

The Company’s $172,500 senior unsecured 3.375% convertible notes (“Convertible Notes”), with a face value of $172,500, were issued when the Company’s stock price was trading at $30.19 per share. On December 30, 2012, the Company’s stock price closed at $36.80 per share. The Convertible Notes have a conversion option at $40.60 per share. The fair value of these notes represent the trading values based upon quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2. The Convertible Notes were trading at 114% of face value on December 30, 2012, and 116% of face value on March 31, 2012.

See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s derivatives and Convertible Notes at December 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 were as follows:

	December 30, 2012						March 31, 2012
	Carrying Amount			Fair Value			Carrying Amount			Fair Value
Financial assets:
Derivatives (1)	$	4,975		$	4,975		$	782		$	782

⁽²⁾  The carrying amounts of the Convertible Notes at December 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 represent the $172,500 principal value, less the unamortized debt discount (see Note 9).

⁽³⁾  The fair value amounts of the Convertible Notes at December 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 represent the trading values of the Convertible Notes with a principal value of $172,500.

4. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, under established procedures and controls. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes. The Company’s agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions and the Company anticipates performance by counterparties to these contracts and therefore no material loss is expected.

Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships

Lead Hedge Forward Contracts

The Company enters into lead hedge forward contracts to fix the price for a portion of the lead purchases. Management considers the lead hedge forward contracts to be effective against changes in the cash flows of the underlying lead purchases. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year and the notional amounts at December 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 were 57.6 million and 60.0 million pounds, respectively.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company purchases lead and other commodities in certain countries where the foreign currency exposure is different from the functional currency of that country. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of the Company’s foreign currency exposures for lead as well as other foreign currency exposures so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the underlying foreign currency denominated exposures. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. As of December 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company had entered into a total of $53,926 and $42,121, respectively, of such contracts.

In the coming twelve months, the Company anticipates that $7,403 of pretax gain relating to lead and foreign currency forward contracts will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) as part of cost of goods sold. This amount represents the current unrealized impact of hedging lead and foreign exchange rates, which will change as market rates change in the future, and will ultimately be realized in the income statement as an offset to the corresponding actual changes in lead costs to be realized in connection with the variable lead cost and foreign exchange rates being hedged.

10

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

As of December 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company maintained interest rate swap agreements that converted $85,000 of variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, utilizing the three-month LIBOR, as a floating rate reference. These agreements expire between February 2013 and May 2013. The Company recorded expense relating to changes in the fair value of these agreements in the consolidated condensed statements of income, within other (income) expense, net of $7 and ($118) during the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively, and of $99 and $763 for the nine months ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge foreign currency fluctuations on intercompany loans and foreign currency denominated receivables. These are not designated as hedging instruments and changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded directly in the consolidated statements of income. As of December 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the notional amount of these contracts was $38,890 and $11,410, respectively. The Company recorded (income) expense in the consolidated condensed statements of income within other (income) expense, net of ($2,058) and ($133) during the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively, and of ($1,640) and $1,354 for the nine months ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively.

Presented below in tabular form is information on the location and amounts of derivative fair values in the consolidated condensed balance sheets and derivative gains and losses in the consolidated condensed statements of income:

5. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provisions consist of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provisions for the third quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012 were based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods.

The effective income tax rates for the third quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012 were 28.2% and 23.0%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 and 2012 were 28.5% and 24.3%, respectively. The increase in the rates compared to the prior year periods are primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions and the expiration of certain U.S. corporate tax exemptions.

6. Warranties

The Company provides for estimated product warranty expenses when the related products are sold, with related liabilities included within accrued expenses and other liabilities. Warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, primarily historical claims experience, and claims costs may differ from amounts provided. An analysis of changes in the liability for product warranties is as follows:

	Quarter ended						Nine months ended
	December 30, 2012			January 1, 2012			December 30, 2012			January 1, 2012

7. Commitments, Contingencies and Litigation

Litigation and Other Legal Matters

The Company is involved in 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 Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes since March 31, 2012.

Environmental Issues

As a result of its operations, the Company is subject to various federal, state, and local, as well as international 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 Company’s operations are also subject to federal, state, local and international occupational safety and health regulations, including laws and regulations relating to exposure to lead in the workplace. See Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full description of environmental issues. There have been no significant changes since March 31, 2012.

Lead Contracts

To stabilize its costs, the Company has entered into contracts with financial institutions to fix the price of lead. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. Under these contracts, at December 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company has hedged the price to purchase 57.6 million and 60.0 million pounds of lead, respectively, for a total purchase price of $56,791 and $56,610, 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 and option contracts to reduce the volatility from currency movements that affect the Company. The maturity period for substantially all these contracts is less than one year. The Company’s largest exposure is from the purchase and conversion of U.S. dollar based lead costs into local currencies in Europe. Additionally, the Company has currency exposures from intercompany and third party trade transactions. To hedge these exposures, the Company has entered into a total of $92,816 and $53,531, respectively, of foreign currency forward contracts with financial institutions as of December 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012.

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 rate debt. At December 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, such agreements which expire between February 2013 and May 2013, converted $85,000 of variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, utilizing the three-month LIBOR, as a floating rate reference. Fluctuations in LIBOR and fixed rates affect both the Company’s net financial investment position and the amount of cash to be paid or received under these agreements.

The Company estimates that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $7,900, primarily from cash expenses for employee severance-related payments and non-cash expenses associated with the write-off of certain fixed assets and inventory. The Company estimates that these actions will result in the reduction of approximately 115 employees upon completion. During the nine months of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $2,275, consisting of non-cash charges of $1,346 related to the write-off of fixed assets and inventory, along with cash charges related to employee severance and other charges of $929.

No contingent shares were included in diluted shares outstanding during fiscal 2013 and 2012, as the specified conversion price exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common stock, and the inclusion of contingent shares would have been anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”) provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of EnerSys. EnerSys and its representatives may, from time to time, make written or verbal forward-looking statements, including statements contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and its reports to stockholders. Generally, the inclusion of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “will,” and similar expressions identify statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that are intended to come within the safe harbor protection provided by those sections. All statements addressing operating performance, events, or developments that EnerSys expects or anticipates will occur in the future, including statements relating to sales growth, earnings or earnings per share growth, and market share, as well as statements expressing optimism or pessimism about future operating results, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. The forward-looking statements are and will be based on management’s then-current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance, and are applicable only as of the dates of such statements.

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements due to a number of uncertainties and risks, including the risks described in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other unforeseen risks. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, even if subsequently made available on our website or otherwise, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise these statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements for a number of reasons, including the following factors:

• general cyclical patterns of the industries in which our customers operate;

• the extent to which we cannot control our fixed and variable costs;

• the raw materials in our products may experience significant fluctuations in market price and availability;

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”, “primary working capital percentage” (see definitions in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below) and capital expenditures in its 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 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 is helpful in understanding the Company’s ongoing operating results.

Overview

EnerSys (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) is the world’s 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 operate and manage our business in three geographic regions of the world—Americas, Europe and Asia, as described below. Our business is highly decentralized with manufacturing locations throughout the world. More than half of our manufacturing capacity is located outside the United States, and approximately 60% of our net sales were generated outside the United States. The Company has three reportable business segments based on geographic regions, defined as follows:

• Americas, which includes North and South America, with our segment headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA,

• Europe, which includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with our segment headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, and

• Asia, which includes Asia, Australia and Oceania, with our segment headquarters in Singapore.

We evaluate business segment performance based primarily upon operating earnings exclusive of highlighted items. Highlighted items are those that the Company deems are not indicative of ongoing operating results, including those charges that the Company incurs as a result of restructuring activities and those charges and credits that are not directly related to ongoing business segment performance. All corporate and centrally incurred 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.

23

Our management structure, financial reporting systems, and associated internal controls and procedures, are all consistent with our three geographic business segments. We report on a March 31 fiscal year-end. Our financial results are largely driven by the following factors:

• global economic conditions and general cyclical patterns of the industries in which our customers 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 our 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.

We have two primary industrial battery product lines: reserve power products and motive power products. Net sales classifications by product line 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 systems, and other specialty power applications, including security systems, premium starting, lighting and ignition applications, in switchgear, electrical control systems used in electric utilities and energy pipelines, in commercial aircraft, satellites, military aircraft, submarines, ships, tactical vehicles and portable energy packs.

• 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 and other rail equipment.

Economic Climate

Recent indicators continue to suggest a mixed trend in our economic activity among the different geographical regions. The Americas and Asia’s economic expansion continues but at a slower rate. The ongoing financial crisis and austerity measures in Europe are a factor in slowing overall economic growth in this region and leading to declining economic growth rates in many of the Western European countries.

Volatility of Commodities and Foreign Currencies

Our most significant commodity and foreign currency exposures are related to lead and the euro. Historically, volatility of commodity costs and foreign currency exchange rates have caused large swings in our production costs. As the global economic climate changes, we anticipate that our commodity costs may continue to fluctuate as they have in the past several years.

Customer Pricing

Our selling prices fluctuated during the last several years to offset the volatile cost of commodities. Approximately 35% of our revenue is currently subject to agreements that adjust pricing to a market-based index for lead. During the current quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013, our selling prices declined slightly.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our capital structure and liquidity remain strong. As of December 30, 2012, we had $228.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, approximately $303 million of undrawn, committed credit lines, and approximately $108 million of uncommitted credit lines. A substantial majority of the Company’s cash and investments are held by foreign subsidiaries and are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and expected to be utilized to fund local operating activities, capital expenditure requirements and acquisitions. The Company believes that it has sufficient sources of domestic and foreign liquidity.

Net sales decreased $16.9 million or 2.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 from the comparable period in fiscal 2012. This decrease for the quarter was the result of a 2% decrease in organic volume, a 1% decrease in both pricing and currency translation impact partially offset by a 1% increase from acquisitions. Net sales increased $14.8 million or 0.9% in the nine months of fiscal 2013 from the comparable period in fiscal 2012. This increase for the nine months of fiscal 2013 was the result of a 2% increase in organic volume, a 3% increase due to acquisitions, partially offset by a 4% decrease from currency translation impact.

Segment sales

Our Europe segment’s net sales decreased $16.2 million or 6.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012, primarily due to a decrease of approximately 4% in organic volume, 1% decrease due to pricing and 2% decrease related to currency translation impact. Revenue decreased $62.0 million or 8.3% in the nine months of fiscal 2013, as compared to the nine months of fiscal 2012, primarily due to a decrease of approximately 7% related to currency translation impact, a decrease of approximately 2% and 1% in organic volume and pricing, respectively, while acquisitions contributed an increase of approximately 2%.

Our Americas segment’s net sales decreased $5.4 million or 1.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012, primarily due to a decrease of approximately 2% and 1% in organic volume and pricing, respectively, partially offset by a 1% increase from acquisitions. Revenue increased $48.7 million or 6.1% in the nine months of fiscal 2013, as compared to the nine months of fiscal 2012, due to higher organic volume and acquisitions which contributed an increase of approximately 4% and 3%, respectively, partially offset by currency translation impact of 1%.

Our Asia segment’s net sales increased $4.7 million or 10.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2013, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012, primarily due to higher organic volume, acquisitions and currency translation impact which contributed approximately 7%, 2% and 1%, respectively. Revenue increased $28.1 million or 18.5% in the nine months of fiscal 2013, as compared to the nine months of fiscal 2012, primarily due to organic volume growth and acquisitions, which contributed approximately 15% and 5%, respectively, partially offset by currency translation impact of approximately 1%.

Organic volume decreased approximately 4% and pricing and currency translation impact decreased approximately 1% each, partially offset by acquisitions of approximately 1%. Sales in the nine months of fiscal 2013 increased $29.3 million or 3.6% compared to the nine months of fiscal 2012. Organic volume and acquisitions contributed approximately 4% each to the increased revenue, partially offset by currency translation impact and pricing of approximately 4% and 1%, respectively.

Sales of our motive power products in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 decreased $4.8 million or 1.6% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The third quarter decrease was primarily due to pricing and currency translation impact of approximately 1% each. Sales in the nine months of fiscal 2013 decreased $14.5 million or 1.6% compared to the nine months of fiscal 2012, primarily due to currency translation impact of approximately 4% partially offset by an increase of approximately 2% from acquisitions.

Gross profit increased $12.9 million or 9.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 and increased $63.1 million or 17.2% in the nine months of fiscal 2013, compared to the comparable periods of fiscal 2012. Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales increased 300 basis points in the third quarter and 350 basis points in the nine month period of fiscal 2013, when compared to the comparable periods of fiscal 2012. This increase for both periods is primarily attributed to lower commodity costs with pricing declining slightly in the nine month period. Pricing normally lags behind the cost curve. We anticipate that gross profit percentage to sales of our fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 will decline as commodity costs have increased in the third quarter.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales increased 120 basis points in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and 60 basis points in the nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to the nine months of fiscal 2012. Operating expenses, excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, increased $5.5 million or 7.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and increased $21.1 million or 9.7% in the nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to the nine months of fiscal 2012, due primarily to higher incentive based compensation and the operating costs of recent acquisitions. Selling expenses, our main component of operating expenses, were 58.0% and 59.4% of total operating expenses in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013, respectively, compared to 60.2% and 59.6% of total operating expenses in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2012, respectively.

Restructuring charges

Included in our third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013 operating results are $3.7 million and $5.4 million of restructuring charges, respectively, primarily for staff reductions and write-off of fixed assets and inventory in Europe and Asia. During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company announced its commitment to restructure certain of its operations in Asia. The restructure was designed to improve operational efficiencies, primarily in view of our recently built facility in Chongqing, China.

Included in our third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2012 operating results are $1.4 million and $2.7 million of restructuring charges, respectively, for staff reductions in Europe.

Operating earnings increased $6.1 million or 11.1% in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 in comparison to the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Operating earnings as a percentage of net sales, as shown in the table above, increased 130 basis points in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 when compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012.

We experienced a decrease in operating earnings in our Europe segment in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 in comparison to the comparable quarter in the prior year, with the operating margin decreasing 10 basis points to 6.5%. Operating earnings increased in the nine months of fiscal 2013 in comparison to the comparable period in the prior year, with the operating margin increasing 80 basis points to 6.8%. Operating earnings margin decreased slightly during the quarter, but increased in the nine months of fiscal 2013 due to lower commodity costs and the benefits of the restructuring programs.

29

Our Americas segment had an increase in operating earnings in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 in comparison to the third quarter of fiscal 2012, with the operating margin increasing 370 basis points to 16.4%. Operating earnings increased in the nine months of fiscal 2013 in comparison to the comparable period in the prior year, with the operating margin increasing 400 basis points to 15.9%. Operating margin increase in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 is primarily attributable to lower commodity costs while the nine months of fiscal 2013 additionally benefitted from higher volumes. We anticipate lower operating margins in our fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 as commodity cost have increased.

Operating earnings increased in our Asia segment in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013 in comparison to the comparable prior year periods of fiscal 2012, although the operating margin decreased 70 basis points in the quarter to 6.5% but increased 570 basis points in the nine months to 10.4%. The decrease in operating margin in the current quarter was primarily on account of a less favorable product mix in the current quarter when compared to the prior year third quarter. The improvement in the current nine months of fiscal 2013 in comparison to the prior year period is primarily due to increased volume and a better mix of higher margin products in the region.

Interest expense	$	14.3		0.8	%	$	12.3		0.7	%	$	2.0		16.1	%

Interest expense of $4.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 (net of interest income of $0.6 million) was $0.2 million lower than the interest expense of $4.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 (net of interest income of $0.2 million). Interest expense of $14.3 million in the nine months of fiscal 2013 (net of interest income of $1.0 million) was $2.0 million higher than the interest expense of $12.3 million in the nine months of fiscal 2012 (net of interest income of $0.7 million).

The decrease in interest expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the comparable prior year quarter is primarily due to an increase in interest income. The increase in interest expense in the nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to the nine months of fiscal 2012 is attributable to higher interest rates on indebtedness in Asia and South America where we made recent acquisitions.

Also included in interest expense are non-cash charges for deferred financing fees of $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013 and $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2012.

Included in interest expense is non-cash, accreted interest on the Convertible Notes of $1.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively, in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013 and $1.6 million and $4.8 million, respectively, in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2012. (See Note 9 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.)

Our average debt outstanding (reflecting the reduction of the Convertible Notes discount) was $249.3 million and $258.8 million in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013, respectively, compared to $288.0 million and $272.4 million in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2012, respectively. The average Convertible Notes discount excluded from our average debt outstanding was $20.0 million and $21.7 million, respectively, in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013 and $26.7 million and $28.3 million, respectively, in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2012.

Other (income) expense, net in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $1.3 million compared to $1.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The unfavorable impact in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 is mainly attributable to higher miscellaneous charges and non-income related taxes of $1.1 million partially offset by lower foreign currency losses of $0.9 million in the current quarter compared to prior year quarter.

Other (income) expense, net for the nine months of fiscal 2013 decreased by $1.6 million primarily on account of insurance recoveries.

Effective tax rate		28.5%					24.3%					4.2%

The Company’s income tax provisions consist of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provisions for the third quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 were based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods.

The effective income tax rates for the third quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 were 28.2% and 23.0%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the nine months of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 were 28.5% and 24.3%, respectively. The rate increase in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013 as compared to the comparable prior year periods are primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions and the expiration of certain U.S. corporate tax exemptions.

As a result of the above, net earnings attributable to EnerSys stockholders in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 were $39.2 million or 7.0% of net sales, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2012 of $36.8 million or 6.4% of net sales. Net earnings attributable to EnerSys stockholders in the nine months of fiscal 2013 were $128.8 million or 7.6% of net sales, compared to the nine months of fiscal 2012 of $98.6 million or 5.8% of net sales.

Net earnings attributable to EnerSys stockholders per common share in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 were $0.81 per basic share and $0.80 per diluted share, compared to $0.77 per basic share and diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. Net earnings attributable to EnerSys stockholders per common share in the nine months of fiscal 2013 were $2.68 per basic share and $2.65 per diluted share, compared to $2.01 per basic share and $1.99 per diluted share in the nine months of fiscal 2012.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those discussed under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating activities provided cash of $135.5 million in the nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to $120.0 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2012. In the nine months of fiscal 2013, net earnings of $127.3 million and depreciation and amortization of $37.8 million were offset by cash used for the increase in primary working capital of $35.6 million, net of currency translation changes. In the nine months of fiscal 2012, net earnings of $98.6 million and depreciation and amortization of $37.0 million were offset by cash used for the increase in primary working capital of $24.5 million, net of currency translation changes.

Primary working capital for this purpose is trade accounts receivable, plus inventories, minus trade accounts payable. 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 $611.7 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 27.4%) at December 30, 2012, $578.6 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 24.4%) at March 31, 2012 and $556.6 million at January 1, 2012 (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 24.2%). The primary working capital percentage of 27.4% at December 30, 2012 is 3.0 percentage points higher than that for March 31, 2012, and 3.2 percentage points higher than that for the prior year quarter.

Primary working capital increased during the nine months of fiscal 2013, largely due to an increase in inventories and a decrease in accounts payable.

Primary working capital and primary working capital percentages at December 30, 2012, March 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012 are computed as follows:

(In Millions)
Balance At	Trade Receivables		Inventory		Accounts Payable			Total		Quarter Revenue Annualized		Primary Working Capital %
December 30, 2012	$	460.1	$	380.0	$	(228.4	)	$	611.7	$	2,229.3		27.4	%
March 31, 2012		466.8		361.8		(250.0	)		578.6		2,371.0		24.4
January 1, 2012		453.9		349.6		(246.9	)		556.6		2,297.0		24.2

Investing activities used cash of $37.5 million in the nine months of fiscal 2013, primarily comprised of capital expenditures, compared to $56.0 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2012. Investing activities in the nine months of fiscal 2012 included acquisitions for a total purchase price of approximately $21.0 million.

Financing activities used cash of $31.3 million in the nine months of fiscal 2013. Borrowings and repayments on our revolver were $230.5 million and $258.2 million, respectively, while borrowings on long-term debt and short-term debt were $5.6 million and $13.2 million, respectively, which were partially offset by repayments of long-term debt of $11.8 million in Asia. In the nine months of fiscal 2013, we repurchased $22.6 million of our common stock. Exercise of stock options and the related tax benefits contributed $13.8 million. In the nine months of fiscal 2012, financing activities utilized cash of $50.5 million, primarily reflecting the repurchase of common stock of $58.3 million. During the nine months of fiscal 2012, we borrowed $98.0 million on the revolver and subsequently repaid the entire amount. Borrowings on short-term debt were $5.7 million and capital lease payments were $1.3 million. Exercise of stock options and the related tax benefits contributed $3.4 million.

As a result of the above, total cash and cash equivalents increased by $68.1 million to $228.6 million in the nine months of fiscal 2013 compared to an increase of $10.9 million to $119.8 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2012.

All obligations under our 2011 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility are secured by, among other things, substantially all of our U.S. assets. This credit agreement contains 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. There are no prepayment penalties on loans under this credit facility.

We 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 the financial resources and the capital available to fund the foreseeable organic growth in our business and to remain active in pursuing further acquisition opportunities. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a detailed description of debt.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risks

Our 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. Our 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.

Counterparty Risks

We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to manage risk on a portion of our long-term floating-rate debt. We have entered into lead forward purchase contracts to manage risk on the cost of lead. We have entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage risk on foreign currency exposures. The Company’s agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions. Those contracts that result in a liability position at December 30, 2012 are $2.6 million (pre-tax), therefore there is no risk of nonperformance by these counterparties. Those contracts that result in an asset position at December 30, 2012 are $6.0 million (pre-tax) and the impact on the Company due to nonperformance by the counterparties has been evaluated and not deemed material.

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. Changes in the fair value of these contracts for the quarters ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012 have been recorded in the income statement in other (income) expense, net.

At December 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the aggregate notional amount of interest rate swap agreements is $85.0 million. These agreements expire between February – May 2013.

Under the interest rate swaps, the Company receives three-month LIBOR and pays a fixed interest rate which averaged 4.28% on December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012.

A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased annual interest expense by approximately $0.8 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 for 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. A vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. We had the following contracts outstanding at the dates shown below:

Date	$’s  Under Contract (in millions)		# Pounds Purchased (in millions)		Average Cost/Pound		Approximate % of Lead Requirements (1)
December 30, 2012	$	56.8		57.6	$	0.99		12	%
March 31, 2012		56.6		60.0		0.94		12
January 1, 2012		51.0		56.1		0.91		13

⁽¹⁾  Based on approximate annual lead requirements for the periods then ended.

For the remaining quarter of this fiscal year, we believe approximately 93% of the cost of our lead requirement is known. This takes into account the hedge contracts in place at December 30, 2012, lead purchased by December 30, 2012 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 would have increased our cost of goods sold by approximately $13 million and $41 million in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013, respectively.

34

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks

We manufacture and assemble our products globally in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Approximately 60% of our sales and expenses are transacted 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 U.S. dollars, 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, Swiss franc, British pound, Polish zloty, Chinese renminbi and Mexican peso.

We quantify and monitor our global foreign currency exposures. Our largest foreign currency 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 financing and trade transactions. On a selective basis, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts to reduce the impact from the volatility of currency movements; however, we cannot be certain that foreign currency fluctuations will not impact our operations in the future.

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. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. Forward contracts outstanding as of December 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 were $92.8 million and $53.5 million, respectively. The details of contracts outstanding as of December 30, 2012 were as follows:

Transactions Hedged	$US Equivalent (in millions)		Average Rate Hedged		Approximate % of Annual Requirements (1)
Sell Euros for U.S. dollars	$	18.1	$/€	1.32		10	%
Sell Euros for Polish zloty		14.7	PLN/€	4.17		20
Sell Euros for British pounds		29.1	£/€	0.80		40
Sell Japanese yen for U.S. dollars		18.0	$/¥	79.24		90
Sell Australian dollars for U.S. dollars		2.3	$/AUD	1.03		23
Sell U.S. dollars for Mexican pesos		2.5	MXN/$	13.44		50
Sell Australian dollars for Euros		3.0	€/AUD	1.26		23
Other		5.1
Total	$	92.8

⁽¹⁾  Based on the fiscal year currency requirements.

Foreign exchange translation adjustments are recorded in 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.
