The four quarters in fiscal 2020 ended on June 30, 2019, September 29, 2019, December 29, 2019, and March 31, 2020, respectively. ~~The four quarters in fiscal 2019 ended on July 1, 2018, September 30, 2018, December 30, 2018, and March 31, 2019, 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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). This update requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. Effective April 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new standard under the modified retrospective approach, which resulted in no adjustment to the April 1, 2019 beginning Retained Earnings. There are optional practical expedients and policy elections made available to simplify the transition to the new standard. The Company has elected the following:

to adopt the optional transition method defined within ASU 2018-11 and not restate comparative prior periods but instead recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption;

~~the package of three practical expedients addressing whether a contract contains a lease, lease classification and initial direct costs;~~

~~to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component for all asset classes;~~

~~to use a portfolio approach to determine the incremental borrowing rate; and~~

to apply the short-term lease exception to leases that, at the commencement date, has a lease term of 12 months or less and does not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise.

Upon adoption, the Company recorded Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities of approximately $84,878 and $87,248, respectively. In addition, capital lease assets and liabilities are now classified as finance lease right-of-use assets and liabilities. The difference between the operating lease assets and lease liabilities primarily relates to unamortized lease incentives and deferred rent recorded in accordance with the previous lease guidance.

Apart from the aforementioned changes, the adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Company's operating results, financial position or cash flows. The discount rates used to calculate the ROU assets and lease liabilities as of the effective date were based on the remaining lease terms as of the effective date. See Note 3, Leases for additional information.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)”: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends and simplifies existing guidance in order to allow companies to more accurately present the economic effects of risk management activities in the financial statements. The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income

statement line as the hedged item. The Company adopted the standard effective April 1, 2019 and the adoption did not have any impact on the Company's operating results, financial position or cash flows.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)". The new standard will allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”). The amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statements users. However, because the amendment only relates to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The Company adopted this standard effective April 1, 2019 with the election not to reclassify $478 of stranded tax effects, primarily related to the Company's pension plans, from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings, as the amount was not material.

~~Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Adopted as of September 29, 2019~~

In June 2016, the FASB, issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)”: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the recognition model for the impairment of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, loans and held-to-maturity debt securities, among others. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. In contrast to current guidance, which considers current information and events and utilizes a probable threshold, (an “incurred loss” model), ASU 2016–13 mandates an “expected loss” model. The expected loss model: (i) estimates the risk of loss even when risk is remote, (ii) estimates losses over the contractual life, (iii) considers past events, current conditions and reasonable supported forecasts and (iv) has no recognition threshold. The Company adopted the standard effective April 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's operating results, financial position or cash flows. However, the adoption resulted in modifying the Company's policies for accounts receivable.

The Company estimates the allowance for credit losses in relation to accounts receivable based on relevant qualitative and quantitative information about historical events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported accounts receivable. Subsequent to April 1, 2020, accounts receivable are recorded at amortized cost less an allowance for expected credit losses. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses for the expected failure or inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company recognizes the allowance for expected credit losses at inception and reassesses quarterly based on management’s expectation of the asset’s collectability. The allowance is based on multiple factors including historical experience with bad debts, the credit quality of the customer base, the aging of such receivables and current macroeconomic conditions, as well as management’s expectations of conditions in the future. The Company’s allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of assets pooled together with similar risk characteristics. The Company then adjusts the historical credit loss percentage by current and forecasted economic conditions. The Company then includes a baseline credit loss percentage into the historical credit loss percentage for each aging category to reflect the potential impact of the current and economic conditions. Such a baseline calculation will be adjusted further if changes in the economic environment impacts the Company's expectation for future credit losses.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Adopted as of July 5, 2020

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)”: Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)”: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides temporary optional expedients to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to an alternative reference rate such as Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR). The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions take into account historical and forward looking factors that the Company believes are reasonable, including, but not limited to, the potential impacts arising from the coronavirus pandemic of 2019 (“COVID-19”) and public and private sector policies and initiatives aimed at reducing its transmission. As the extent and duration of the impacts of COVID-19 remain unclear, the Company’s estimates and assumptions may evolve as conditions change. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Examples of significant estimates include the allowance for credit losses, the recoverability of property, plant and equipment, the incremental borrowing rate for lease liabilities, the recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets, fair value measurements, including those related to financial instruments, goodwill and intangible assets, valuation allowances on tax assets, pension and postretirement benefit obligations, contingencies and the identification and valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations.

2. Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” on April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. There was no cumulative effect of adopting the standard at the date of initial application in retained earnings.

The Company's revenues by reportable segments are presented in Note 17.

Service revenues related to the work performed for the Company’s customers by its maintenance technicians generally represent a separate and distinct performance obligation. Control for these services passes to the customer as the services are performed. Service revenues for the ~~second~~first quarter of fiscal ~~2020~~2021 and ~~fiscal 2019~~2020 amounted to ~~$61,282~~$68,758 and ~~$37,105, respectively. Service revenues for the six months of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 amounted to $122,000 and $69,200,~~$79,147, respectively.

A small portion of the Company's customer arrangements ~~oblige~~obligate the Company to create customized products for its customers that require the bundling of both products and services into a single performance obligation because the individual products and services that are required to fulfill the customer requirements do not meet the definition for a distinct performance obligation. These customized products generally have no alternative use to the Company and the terms and conditions of these arrangements give the Company the enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, including a reasonable profit margin. For these arrangements, control transfers over time and the Company measures progress towards completion by selecting the input or output method that best depicts the transfer of control of the underlying goods and services to the customer for each respective arrangement. Methods used by the Company to measure progress toward completion include labor

Table of Contents

hours, costs incurred and units of production. Revenues recognized over time for the ~~second~~first quarter of fiscal ~~2020~~2021 and ~~fiscal 2019~~2020 amounted to ~~$33,595~~$36,102 and ~~$16,491, respectively. Revenues recognized over time for the six months of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 amounted to $75,090 and $34,895,~~$41,495, respectively.

On ~~September 29, 2019,~~July 5, 2020, the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was approximately ~~$65,975,~~$92,632, of which, the Company estimates that approximately ~~$48,576~~$66,604 will be recognized as revenue in fiscal ~~2020, $16,621 in fiscal~~ 2021, ~~$643~~$24,149 in fiscal 2022, ~~$16~~$1,808 in fiscal 2023, ~~and $119~~$18 in fiscal ~~2024.~~2024 and $53 in fiscal 2025.

Any payments that are received from a customer in advance, prior to the satisfaction of a related performance obligation and billings in excess of revenue recognized, are deferred and treated as a contract liability. Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized are classified as current or non-current based on the timing of when recognition of revenue is expected. As of ~~September 29, 2019,~~July 5, 2020, the current and non-current portion of contract liabilities were ~~$16,543~~$14,941 and ~~$6,808,~~$8,314, respectively. As of March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, the current and non-current portion of contract liabilities were ~~$15,162~~$17,342 and ~~$6,360,~~$8,356, respectively. Revenues recognized during the ~~second~~first quarter of fiscal ~~2020~~2021 and ~~fiscal 2019, that were included in the contract liability at the beginning of the quarter, amounted to $3,690 and $611, respectively. Revenues recognized during the six months of fiscal~~ 2020 ~~and fiscal 2019,~~ that were included in the contract liability at the beginning of the year, amounted to ~~$8,157~~$3,466 and ~~$2,597,~~$4,467, respectively.

Amounts representing work completed and not billed to customers represent contract assets and were ~~$46,319~~$44,792 and ~~$38,778~~$39,048 as of ~~September 29, 2019~~July 5, 2020 and March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively.

The Company uses historic customer product return data as a basis of estimation for customer returns and records the reduction of sales at the time revenue is recognized. At ~~September 29, 2019,~~July 5, 2020, the right of return asset related to the value of inventory anticipated to be returned from customers was ~~$2,667~~$4,265 and refund liability representing amounts estimated to be refunded to customers was ~~$5,213.~~$6,970.

3. Leases

The Company leases manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, office space, vehicles and other equipment under non-cancellable leases with initial terms typically ranging from 1 to 17 years. At contract inception, the Company reviews the terms of the arrangement to determine if the contract is or contains a lease. Guidance in Topic 842 is used to evaluate whether the contract has an identified asset; if the Company has the right to obtain substantially all economic benefits from the asset; and if it has the right to direct the use of the underlying asset. When determining if a contract has an identified asset, the Company considers both explicit and implicit assets, and whether the supplier has the right to substitute the asset. When determining if the Company has the right to obtain substantially all economic benefits from the asset, the Company considers the primary outputs of the identified asset throughout the period of use and determines if it receives greater than 90% of those benefits. When determining if it has the right to direct the use of an underlying asset, the Company considers if it has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use and if it controls the decision-making rights over the asset.

Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company exercises its judgment to determine the term of those leases when extension or termination options are present and include such options in the calculation of the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise those options.

The Company has elected to include both lease and non-lease components in the determination of lease payments for all asset classes. Payments made to a lessor for items such as taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, or other costs commonly referred to as executory costs, are also included in lease payments if they are fixed. The fixed portion of these payments are included in the calculation of the lease liability, while any variable portion would be recognized as variable lease expenses, when incurred. Variable payments made to third parties for these, or similar costs, such as utilities, are not included in the calculation of lease payments.

Both finance and operating leases are reflected as liabilities on the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company has exercised judgment in electing the incremental borrowing rate based on the information available when the lease commences to determine the present value of future payments. Right-of-use assets are valued at the initial measurement of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs or rent prepayments and reduced by any lease incentives and any deferred lease payments.

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance lease expense includes depreciation, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected life of the leased asset, and interest expense, which is recognized following an effective interest rate method.

Short term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not presented on the balance sheet and expense is recognized as incurred.

The following table presents lease assets and liabilities and their balance sheet classification:

(“ATL”), resulting~~indirect subsidiaries, manufactures and distributes thin plate pure lead (TPPL) batteries and battery enclosures. NorthStar has two large manufacturing facilities in ~~ATS and ATL becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “share purchase”). Additionally, the~~Springfield, Missouri. The Company acquired ~~substantially all of the~~tangible and intangible assets, ~~of Alpha Technologies Inc.~~including trademarks, technology, customer relationships and certain assets of Altair Advanced Industries, Inc. and other affiliates of ATS and ATL (all such sellers, together with ATS and ATL, “Alpha”), in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of certain restructuring agreements (collectively, the “asset acquisition” and together with the share purchase, the “acquisition”).goodwill. Based in Bellingham, Washington, Alpha is a global industry leader in comprehensive commercial-grade energy solutions for broadband, telecom, renewable, industrial and traffic customers around the world. The initial purchase consideration for the acquisition was $750,000, of which $650,000 was paid in cash and the balance was settled by issuing 1,177,630 shares of EnerSys common stock. These shares were issued out of the Company's treasury stock andon valuations performed, trademarks were valued at ~~$84.92 per share, which~~$6,000, technology at $19,000, customer relationships at $9,000, and goodwill was ~~based on the thirty-day volume weighted average stock price~~recorded at $73,788.

The useful lives of ~~$93,268, based upon the December 7, 2018 closing date spot rate~~technology were estimated at 10 years, customer relationships were estimated at 15 to 18 years and trademarks were estimated at 5 years. Goodwill deductible for tax purposes is $72,056.

Table of $79.20. The total purchase consideration, consisting of cash paid of $650,000, shares valued at $93,268 and an adjustment for working capital (due post - closing from seller of $766), was $742,502. The Company funded the cash portion of the acquisition with borrowings from the Amended Credit Facility as defined in Note 12. See Note 12 for additional information.Contents

The acquisition expands the Company's footprint in broadband and telecom markets. The goodwill recognized in connection with this transaction reflects the benefits the Company expects to realize from being able to provide a one-stop, fully integrated power solutions offering to its customers, as well as the benefit of cost synergies from alignment of the Alpha group within its own organizational structure.

The results of ~~operations of Alpha~~the NorthStar acquisition have been included in the Company’s ~~Americas segment.~~

The fair values 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 within the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 1,1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report.

The fair values 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 values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximate carrying value due to their short maturities.

The fair value of the Company’s short-term debt and borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility (as defined in Note 12), approximate their respective 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.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s derivatives and Senior Notes at ~~September 29, 2019~~July 5, 2020 and March 31, ~~2019~~2020 were as follows:

7. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange 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 Forward Contracts

The Company enters into lead forward contracts to fix the price for a portion of its lead purchases. Management considers the lead 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. At ~~September 29, 2019~~July 5, 2020 and March 31, ~~2019~~,2020, the Company has hedged the price to purchase approximately ~~54.0~~24.0 million pounds and ~~42.0~~35.0 million pounds of lead, respectively, for a total purchase price of ~~$49,938~~$19,299 and ~~$39,218,~~$30,078, respectively.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and options 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 ~~September 29, 2019~~July 5, 2020 and March 31, ~~2019~~,2020, the Company had entered into a total of ~~$45,350~~$9,062 and ~~$42,318,~~$34,008, respectively, of such contracts.

In the coming twelve months, the Company anticipates that ~~$1,602~~$4,569 of pretax ~~gain~~loss relating to lead and foreign currency forward contracts will be reclassified from AOCI as part of cost of goods sold. This amount represents the current net 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 Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income 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.

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

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 and payables. These are not designated as hedging instruments and changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded directly in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. As of ~~September 29, 2019~~July 5, 2020 and March 31, ~~2019~~,2020, the notional amount of these contracts was ~~$23,676~~$19,618 and ~~$22,201,~~$42,232, respectively.

The Company’s income tax provision consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provision for the ~~second~~first quarter of fiscal ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 was based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods. The Company’s effective income tax rate with respect to any period may be volatile based on the mix of income in the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates, change in tax laws and the amount of the Company's consolidated ~~income~~earnings before taxes.

On May 19, 2019, a public referendum held in Switzerland approved the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV (Old-Age and Survivors Insurance) Financing (TRAF) as adopted by the Swiss Federal Parliament on September 28, 2018. The Swiss tax reform measures are effective January 1, 2020. Certain provisions of the TRAF were enacted during the current quarter. Significant changes in the tax reform include the abolishment of preferential tax regimes for holding companies, domicile companies and mixed companies at the cantonal level. The transitional provisions of the TRAF allow companies to elect tax basis adjustments to fair value, which is used for tax depreciation and amortization purposes resulting in a deduction over the transitional period. The Company recorded a deferred tax asset of ~~$21,000~~$22,500 during ~~the second quarter of~~ fiscal 2020 related to the amortizable ~~goodwill, subject to final negotiations~~goodwill. Based on further discussions with the Swiss ~~federal and cantonal~~ tax ~~authority.~~authority, the Company recorded an additional income tax benefit of $1,883 during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

The consolidated effective income tax rates for the ~~second~~first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 were 15.4% and ~~2019 were (29.5)% and 18.6%, respectively and for the six months of fiscal 2020 and 2019 were (4.0)% and 19.1%~~17.0%, respectively. The rate decrease in the ~~second~~first quarter ~~and six months~~ of fiscal ~~2020~~2021 compared to the comparable prior year ~~periods~~quarter is primarily due to Swiss tax reform and changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions.

Foreign income as a percentage of worldwide income is estimated to be ~~72%~~69% for fiscal ~~2020~~2021 compared to ~~68%~~64% for fiscal ~~2019.~~2020. The foreign effective ~~income~~ tax rates for the ~~six months~~first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 were 9% and ~~2019 were (2.4)% and 11.1%~~11.5%, respectively. The rate decrease compared to the prior year period is primarily due to Swiss tax reform and changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. Income from the Company's Swiss subsidiary comprised a substantial portion of the Company's overall foreign mix of income and was taxed at an effective income tax rate of approximately 6% in both the current and prior year quarter of fiscal ~~2020~~2021 and fiscal ~~2019.~~2020.

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

2017 Credit Facility and Subsequent Amendment

In fiscal 2018, the Company entered into a credit facility (the “2017 Credit Facility”). The 2017 Credit Facility scheduled to mature on September 30, 2022, initially comprised a $600,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (“2017 Revolver”) and a $150,000 senior secured term loan (“2017 Term Loan”). The Company utilized the borrowings from the 2017 Credit Facility to repay its pre-existing credit facility.

In fiscal 2019, the Company amended the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Amended Credit Facility”) to fund the Alpha acquisition. The Amended Credit Facility consists of $449,105 senior secured term loans (the “Amended 2017 Term Loan”), including a CAD 133,050 ($99,105) term loan and a $700,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Amended 2017 Revolver”). The amendment resulted in an increase of the 2017 Term Loan and the 2017 Revolver by $299,105 and $100,000, respectively.

As of ~~September 29, 2019~~,July 5, 2020, the Company had ~~$389,000~~$88,000 outstanding under the Amended 2017 Revolver and ~~$433,625~~$400,487 under the Amended 2017 Term Loan.

Subsequent to the amendment, the quarterly installments payable on the Amended 2017 Term Loan are $5,645 beginning December 31, 2018, $8,468 beginning December 31, 2019 and $11,290 beginning December 31, 2020 with a final payment of $320,000 on September 30, 2022. The Amended Credit Facility may be increased by an aggregate amount of $325,000 in revolving commitments and / or one or more new tranches of term loans, under certain conditions. Both the Amended 2017 Revolver and the Amended 2017 Term Loan bear interest, at the Company's option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) plus (i) LIBOR plus between 1.25% and 2.00% (currently 1.50% and based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio) or (ii) the U.S. Dollar Base Rate (which equals, for any day a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, (b) Bank of America “Prime Rate” and (c) the Eurocurrency Base Rate plus 1%; provided that, if the Base Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero) (iii) the CDOR Base Rate equal to the higher of (a) Bank of America “Prime Rate” and (b) average 30-day CDOR rate plus 0.50%. Obligations under the Amended Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s existing and future acquired assets, including substantially all of the capital stock of the Company’s United States subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Amended Credit Facility and up to 65% of the capital stock of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are owned by the Company’s United States subsidiaries.

The Amended Credit Facility allows for up to two temporary increases in the maximum leverage ratio from 3.50x to 4.00x for a four quarter period following an acquisition larger than $250,000. Effective December 7, 2018 through December ~~27,~~28, 2019, the maximum leverage ratio ~~has been~~was increased to 4.00x. On December 29, 2019, the maximum leverage ratio returned to 3.50x.

As of ~~September 29, 2019~~July 5, 2020 and March 31, ~~2019~~,2020, the Company had ~~$34,351~~$46,762 and ~~$54,490,~~$46,544, respectively, of short-term borrowings.

17. Business Segments

~~The~~During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company's chief operating decision maker, or CODM (the Company's Chief Executive Officer), changed the manner in which he reviews financial information for purposes of assessing business performance and allocating resources, by focusing on the lines of business on a global basis, rather than on geographic basis. As a result of this change, the Company re-evaluated the identification of its operating segments and reportable segments and identified the following as its 3 ~~reportable~~new operating segments, based on ~~geographic regions, are~~lines of business:

•Energy Systems - uninterruptible power systems, or “UPS” applications for computer and computer-controlled systems, as ~~follows:~~

•

~~Americas~~well as telecommunications systems, switchgear and electrical control systems used in industrial facilities and electric utilities, large-scale energy storage and energy pipelines. Energy Systems also includes highly integrated power solutions and services to broadband, telecom, renewable and industrial customers, as well as thermally managed cabinets and enclosures for electronic equipment and batteries.~~, which includes North and South America, with segment headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA;~~


•	~~EMEA, which includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with segment headquarters in Zug, Switzerland; and~~


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

•Motive Power - power for electric industrial forklifts used in manufacturing, warehousing and other material handling applications, as well as mining equipment, diesel locomotive starting and other rail equipment; and

•Specialty - premium starting, lighting and ignition applications in transportation, energy solutions for satellites, military aircraft, submarines, ships and other tactical vehicles, as well as medical and security systems.

The new operating segments also represent the Company's reportable segments under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. All prior comparative periods presented have been recast to conform to these changes.

Summarized financial information related to the Company's reportable segments for the ~~second~~first quarter ended July 5, 2020 and ~~six months ended~~ ~~September 29,~~June 30, 2019, ~~and~~ ~~September 30, 2018~~, is shown below:

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

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING 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 EnerSys’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ( “SEC”) and its reports to stockholders. Generally, the inclusion of the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “estimate,” “will,” “plans,” or the negative of such terms 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 beliefs and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance and on information currently available to management, 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 ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the ~~“2019~~“2020 Annual Report”) 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 by us 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:

•economic, financial and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic;

•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;

•certain raw materials constitute hazardous materials that may give rise to costly environmental and safety claims;

•legislation regarding the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in our products;

•risks involved in our operations such as disruption of markets, changes in import and export laws, environmental regulations, currency restrictions and local currency exchange rate fluctuations;

•our ability to raise our selling prices to our customers when our product costs increase;

•the extent to which we are able to efficiently utilize our global manufacturing facilities and optimize our capacity;

•general economic conditions in the markets in which we operate;

•competitiveness of the battery markets and other energy solutions for industrial applications throughout the world;

•our timely development of competitive new products and product enhancements in a changing environment and the acceptance of such products and product enhancements by customers;

•our ability to adequately protect our proprietary intellectual property, technology and brand names;

•litigation and regulatory proceedings to which we might be subject;

•our expectations concerning indemnification obligations;

•changes in our market share in the ~~geographic~~ business segments where we operate;

•our ability to implement our cost reduction initiatives successfully and improve our profitability;

•quality problems associated with our products;

•our ability to implement business strategies, including our acquisition strategy, manufacturing expansion and restructuring plans;

•our acquisition strategy may not be successful in locating advantageous targets;

•our ability to successfully integrate any assets, liabilities, customers, systems and management personnel we acquire into our operations and our ability to realize related revenue synergies, strategic gains, and cost savings may be significantly harder to achieve, if at all, or may take longer to achieve;

•potential goodwill impairment charges, future impairment charges and fluctuations in the fair values of reporting units or of assets in the event projected financial results are not achieved within expected time frames;

Table of Contents

•our debt and debt service requirements which may restrict our operational and financial flexibility, as well as imposing unfavorable interest and financing costs;

•our ability to maintain our existing credit facilities or obtain satisfactory new credit facilities;

•adverse changes in our short and long-term debt levels under our credit facilities;

•our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable-rate debt;

•our ability to attract and retain qualified management and personnel;

•our ability to maintain good relations with labor unions;

•credit risk associated with our customers, including risk of insolvency and bankruptcy;

•our ability to successfully recover in the event of a disaster affecting our infrastructure, , supply chain, or our facilities, such as the Richmond, Kentucky facility, including, but not limited to, satisfactory resolution of insurance coverage and claims for both property damage, business interruption and other insurable losses, strategy for business interruption and revenue loss;

•occurrence of natural or man-made disasters or calamities, including health emergencies, the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics, outbreaks of hostilities or terrorist acts, or ~~acts~~the effects of ~~war, could cause damage~~climate change, and our ability to deal effectively with damages or ~~disruption to our operations, our suppliers, channels to market or customers, or could cause costs to increase, or create political or economic instability;~~disruptions caused by the foregoing; and

•the operation, capacity and security of our information systems and infrastructure.

This list of factors that may affect future performance is illustrative, but by no means exhaustive. Accordingly, all forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty.

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~~SEC 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” 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.

~~Alpha Acquisition~~

On December 7, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Alpha Technologies Services, Inc. (“ATS”) and Alpha Technologies Ltd. (“ATL”), resulting•Motive Power - power for electric industrial forklifts used in ATS and ATL becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (the “share purchase”). Additionally, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Alpha Technologies Inc. and certain assets of Altair Advanced Industries, Inc.manufacturing, warehousing and other ~~affiliates of ATS~~material handling applications as well as mining equipment, diesel locomotive starting and ~~ATL (all such sellers, together with ATS~~other rail equipment; and ~~ATL, “Alpha”),~~

•Specialty - premium starting, lighting and ignition applications in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of certain restructuring agreements (collectively, the “asset acquisition” and together with the share purchase, the “acquisition”). Based in Bellingham, Washington, Alpha is a global industry leader in the comprehensive commercial-gradetransportation, energy solutions for ~~broadband, telecom, renewable, industrial~~satellites, military aircraft, submarines, ships and ~~traffic customers around the world. The initial purchase consideration for the acquisition was $750.0 million of which $650.0 million was paid in cash~~other tactical vehicles as well as medical and the balance was settled by issuing 1,177,630 shares of EnerSys common stock. These shares were issued out of the Company's treasury stock and were valued at $84.92 per share, which was based on the thirty-day volume weighted average stock price of the Company’s common stock at closing, in accordance with the purchase agreement. The 1,177,630 shares had a closing date fair value of $93.3 million, based upon the December 7, 2018 closing date spot rate of $79.20. The total purchase consideration, consisting of cash paid of $650.0 million, shares valued at $93.3 million and adjustment for working capital (due from seller of $0.8 million) was $742.5 million.security systems.

~~The results of operations of Alpha have been included in the Company’s Americas segment.~~

~~NorthStar Acquisition~~

On September 30, 2019, we completed the acquisition of NorthStar, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, for $78.0 million in cash consideration and the assumption of $104.5 million in debt, which was funded using existing cash and credit facilities. NorthStar, through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, manufactures and distributes thin plate pure lead (TPPL) batteries and battery enclosures.

Economic Climate

~~Recent indicators suggest a slowdown in~~The COVID-19 pandemic has weakened economic activity ~~among all~~around the ~~different geographical regions~~world. EnerSys’ lines of business have been affected by varying degrees around the world. Our Motive Power business has been our most impacted segment as many industrial manufacturing plants around the world were closed or operated on reduced production levels. We expect the Motive Power business to recover as COVID-19 imposed restrictions are eased and the general economy recovers.

Our Energy Systems business has been less impacted as telecommunications and broadband operators either harden their networks to make them more robust or increase bandwidth to handle the increased demand for remote data caused by the work and school from home initiatives. While the pandemic may have caused a delay in ~~which~~full scale deployment of 5G telecom networks, we ~~do business.~~are seeing a number of companies starting their 5G deployments and feel the pandemic has reinforced the need for 5G.

Within the Specialty business, lower demand in the truck original equipment manufacturer (OEM) market has been partially offset by increased demand in aftermarket retail and distribution, while defense activity remains high.

Volatility of Commodities and Foreign Currencies

Our most significant commodity and foreign currency exposures are related to lead and the Euro, respectively. Historically, volatility of commodity costs and foreign currency exchange rates have caused large swings in our production costs. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and a forecasted global economic ~~climate changes,~~recession, we anticipate that our commodity costs will be lower in the near future and foreign currency exposures may continue to fluctuate as they have in the past several years. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in our fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal 2020, we have experienced declining commodity costs.

Customer Pricing

Our selling prices fluctuated during the last several years to offset the volatile cost of commodities. Approximately 30% of our revenue is currently subject to agreements that adjust pricing to a market-based index for lead. ~~During~~Selling prices rose for the most part of fiscal ~~2019, our selling prices rose~~2018 in response to increased lead and other commodity ~~costs. Lead prices rose for the most part of fiscal 2018,~~costs, peaked in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and then declined sequentially in every quarter in fiscal 2019. In ~~the first half of our~~ fiscal 2020, our selling prices ~~declined~~continued to decline in response to declining commodity ~~costs.~~costs, including lead. Based on current commodity markets, we will likely see continued year over year benefits in fiscal 2021 from declining commodity costs, with some related reduction in our selling ~~prices in the upcoming year.~~prices.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our financial position is strong and we have substantial liquidity to cover short-term liquidity requirements and anticipated growth in the foreseeable future, with ~~$425~~$384 million of available cash and cash equivalents and available and undrawn credit lines of approximately ~~$426~~$701 million at ~~September 29, 2019~~July 5, 2020, availability subject to ~~cover short-term liquidity requirements and anticipated growth in the foreseeable future.~~Credit Agreement financial covenants.

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.

We believe that our strong capital structure and liquidity affords us access to capital for future acquisition and stock repurchase opportunities and continued dividend payments.

The ~~increase~~decrease in interest expense in the ~~second~~first quarter ~~and six months~~ of fiscal ~~2020~~2021 is primarily due to lower average interest rates partially offset by higher average debt.

The Company’s income tax provision consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provision for the ~~second~~first quarter of fiscal ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019~~2020 was based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, ~~2020~~2021 and March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods. Our effective income tax rate with respect to any period may be volatile based on the mix of income in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, change in tax laws and the amount of our consolidated ~~income~~earnings before taxes.

On May 19, 2019, a public referendum held in Switzerland approved the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV (Old-Age and Survivors Insurance) Financing (TRAF) as adopted by the Swiss Federal Parliament on September 28, 2018. The Swiss tax reform measures are effective January 1, 2020. Certain provisions of the TRAF were enacted during the current quarter. Significant changes in the tax reform include the abolishment of preferential tax regimes for holding companies, domicile companies and mixed companies at the cantonal level. The transitional provisions of the TRAF allow companies to elect tax basis adjustments to fair value, which is used for tax depreciation and amortization purposes resulting in a deduction over the transitional period. We recorded a deferred tax asset of ~~$21.0~~$22.5 million during ~~the second quarter of~~ fiscal 2020 related to the amortizable ~~goodwill, subject to final negotiations~~goodwill. Based on further discussions with the Swiss ~~federal and cantonal~~ tax ~~authority.~~authority, we recorded an additional income tax benefit of $1.9 million during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.

The consolidated effective income tax rates for the ~~second quarters~~first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 were 15.4% and ~~2019 were (29.5)% and 18.6%~~17.0%, ~~respectively and were (4.0)% and 19.1% for the six months of fiscal 2020 and 2019,~~ respectively. The rate decrease in the ~~second~~first quarter ~~and six months~~ of fiscal

~~2020~~ 2021 compared to the comparable prior year ~~periods~~quarter is primarily due to Swiss tax reform and changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions.

Foreign income as a percentage of worldwide income is estimated to be ~~72%~~69% for fiscal ~~2020~~2021 compared to ~~68%~~64% for fiscal ~~2019.~~2020. The foreign effective income tax rates for the ~~six months~~first quarter of fiscal 2021 and 2020 were 9% and ~~2019 were (2.4)% and 11.1%~~11.5%, respectively. The rate decrease compared to the prior year period is primarily due to Swiss tax reform and changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. Income from the Company's Swiss subsidiary comprised a substantial portion of our overall foreign mix of income and is taxed at an effective income tax rate of approximately 6% in both the current and prior year quarter of fiscal ~~2020~~2021 and fiscal ~~2019.~~2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow Analysis

Operating activities provided cash of ~~$105.1~~$116.6 million in the ~~six months~~first quarter of fiscal ~~2020~~2021 compared to ~~$84.0~~$30.4 million in the comparable period of fiscal ~~2019.~~2020, the increase in operating cash resulting primarily from a reduction of $67.0 million in our primary working capital, net of currency translation changes. Primary working capital is discussed in further detail below. In the ~~six months~~first quarter of fiscal 2021, net earnings were $35.2 million, depreciation and amortization $23.7 million, non-cash charges relating to exit charges $0.5 million, stock-based compensation $5.1 million and non-cash interest of $0.5 million. Accrued expenses decreased by $18.6 million primarily for payments of interest of $8.1 million, selling expense accruals of $6.3 million and warranties of $4.1 million. Prepaid and other current assets provided a source of funds of $2.7 million, from the receipt of $15.0 million towards the insurance receivable relating to the Richmond plant claim in fiscal 2020 offset by related accruals of $9.3 million, the receipt of a working capital adjustment claim of $2.0 million, relating to an acquisition made several years ago, partially offset by an increase in contract assets of $5.7 million.

Table of Contents

In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, cash provided by operating activities of $30.4 million was primarily from net earnings of ~~$111.3~~$48.6 million, depreciation and amortization of ~~$41.1 million, non-cash charges relating to restructuring, exit and other charges of $10.0~~$20.7 million, stock-based compensation of ~~$8.9 million, provision for doubtful debts of $3.2~~$3.9 million and non-cash interest of ~~$0.8 million, partially offset by deferred taxes of $21.0 million resulting from the Swiss Tax Reform.~~$0.4 million. Cash provided by earnings as adjusted for non-cash items were partially offset by the increase in primary working capital of ~~$6.9~~$23.6 million, net of currency translation changes. Accrued expenses decreased by ~~$18.5~~$16.3 million primarily for payments of $7.3 million related to the German competition authority matter (See Note 10 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) and $6.1 million paid to the seller in connection with the Alpha acquisition, for certain reimbursable pre-acquisition items. Prepaid and other current assets increased by $18.2 million, primarily due to contract assets of $8.0 million, $4.0 million receivable from the Seller (Alpha) and insurance receivable of $1.9 million relating to the Richmond plant claim. Other liabilities decreased by $10.0 million due to income taxes.

In the six months of fiscal 2019, cash provided by operating activities was primarily from net earnings of $93.4 million, depreciation and amortization of $27.3 million, stock-based compensation of $9.1 million, non-cash charges relating to write-off of assets of $1.1 million, non-cash interest of $0.6 million and provision for deferred taxes of $0.8 million. Cash provided by earnings as adjusted for non-cash items were partially offset by the increase in primary working capital of $22.3 million, net of currency translation changes, and an outflow of $4.2 million relating to prepaid assets and $20.6 million relating to accrued expenses for income tax payments.

As explained in the discussion of our use of “non-GAAP financial measures,” we monitor the level and percentage of primary working capital to sales. 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 ~~$815.3~~$776.6 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 27.5%) at July 5, 2020, $833.5 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 26.7%) at ~~September 29,~~March 31, 2020 and $838.6 million at June 30, 2019 ~~$835.6 million~~ (yielding a primary working capital percentage of ~~26.2%) at~~ ~~March 31, 2019~~ ~~and $666.0 million at~~ ~~September 30, 2018~~ ~~(yielding a primary working capital percentage of 25.2%~~26.9%). The primary working capital percentage of ~~26.7%~~27.5% at ~~September 29, 2019~~July 5, 2020 is 5080 basis points higher than that for March 31, ~~2019,~~2020, and ~~150~~60 basis points higher than that for the prior year period. The ~~increase~~large decrease in primary working capital dollars, compared to the prior year ~~period is primarily due to~~periods reflects the ~~inclusion~~decrease in all the three components of ~~the Alpha~~ primary working capital, ~~components, while the increase of 50 basis points increase from March 31, 2019 is primarily due to the build up of inventories partially offset by a decrease in~~mainly accounts receivable and ~~payable, due~~accounts payable. Sales declined sequentially, from our fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 by $76.9 million, as a direct adverse impact from COVID-19. Lower inventories reflect the Company's lower order levels and concerted efforts to ~~lower seasonal sales.~~keep inventory levels down.

Primary working capital and primary working capital percentages at ~~September 29, 2019~~, July 5, 2020, March 31, ~~2019~~2020 and ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018~~2019 are computed as follows:

As a result of the above, total cash and cash equivalents increased by ~~$125.6~~$57.4 million to ~~$424.8~~$384.4 million, in the ~~six months~~first quarter of fiscal ~~2020~~2021 compared to ~~an increase~~a decrease by ~~$23.1~~$37.1 million to ~~$545.2~~$262.1 million, in the comparable period of fiscal ~~2019.~~2020.

~~Debt and~~ Compliance with Debt Covenants

In fiscal 2019, we amended our then existing credit facility (as amended, the “Amended Credit Facility”). The Amended Credit Facility consists of $449.1 million senior secured term loans (the “Amended 2017 Term Loan”), including a CAD 133.0 million ($99.1 million) term loan and a $700.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Amended 2017 Revolver”). The Amended Credit Facility has a maturity date of September 30, 2022.

During the current quarter, we borrowed on the Amended 2017 Revolver and repatriated additional funds from our international subsidiaries to finance the acquisition of NorthStar, which was completed subsequent to the end of the quarter.

All obligations under our Amended Credit Facility are secured by, among other things, substantially all of our U.S. assets. The Amended Credit Facility 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 agreement~~Amended Credit Facility and ~~our 5.00%~~ Senior ~~Notes due 2023.~~Notes. We believe that we will continue to comply with these covenants and conditions, and 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 810 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report and Note 12 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a detailed description of our debt.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

A table of our obligations is contained in Part II, Item 7,7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Contractual Obligations of our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report for the year ended March 31, ~~2019.~~2020. As of ~~September 29, 2019, except for presentation changes resulting from the adoption of ASC 842 effective our first quarter of fiscal~~July 5, 2020, we had no significant changes to our contractual obligations table contained in our ~~2019~~2020 Annual Report.



ITEM 3.			QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risks

Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in raw material costs, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. 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 lead forward purchase contracts and foreign exchange forward and purchased option contracts to manage the risk associated with our exposures to fluctuations resulting from changes in raw material costs and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions. Those contracts that result in a liability position at ~~September 29, 2019~~July 5, 2020 are ~~$0.8~~$0.2 million (pre-tax). Those contracts that result in an asset position at ~~September 29, 2019~~July 5, 2020 are ~~$1.5~~$0.3 million (pre-tax) and the vast majority of these will settle within one year. 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 as well as short-term borrowings in our foreign subsidiaries.

A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased interest expense, on an annualized basis, by approximately ~~$8.7~~$5.4 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 forward 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)
July 5, 2020	$	19.3	24.0	$	0.80	4	%

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

For the remaining ~~two~~three quarters of this fiscal year, we believe approximately ~~64%~~36% of the cost of our lead requirements is known. This takes into account the hedge contracts in place at ~~September 29, 2019~~,July 5, 2020, lead purchased by ~~September 29, 2019~~July 5, 2020 that will be reflected in future costs under our FIFO accounting policy, 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 ~~$15 million and $32~~$14 million in the ~~second~~first quarter ~~and six months~~ of fiscal ~~2020.~~2021.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks

We manufacture and assemble our products globally in the Americas, EMEA and Asia. Approximately 40% 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 intercompany and third party trade transactions. On a selective basis, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and purchase 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.

We hedge approximately 5% - 10% of the nominal amount of our known foreign exchange transactional exposures. We primarily enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the earnings and cash flow impact of the variation of non-functional currency denominated receivables and payables. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year.

Gains and losses resulting from hedging instruments offset the foreign exchange gains or losses on the underlying assets and liabilities being hedged. The maturities of the forward exchange contracts generally coincide with the settlement dates of the related transactions. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in the same period as gains and losses on the hedged items. We also selectively hedge anticipated transactions that are subject to foreign exchange exposure, primarily with foreign currency exchange contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with Topic 815 - Derivatives and Hedging.

At ~~September 29,~~July 5, 2020 and June 30, 2019, ~~and September 30, 2018,~~ we estimate that an unfavorable 10% movement in the exchange rates would have adversely changed our hedge valuations by approximately ~~$3.5~~$1.3 million and ~~$2.5~~$2.7 million, respectively.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our 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, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. We completed the ~~Alpha~~NorthStar acquisition on ~~December 7, 2018~~September 30, 2019, and are in the process, but have not yet concluded our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting including ~~Alpha.~~this recent acquisition. Accordingly, pursuant to the SEC's general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted from the scope of an assessment in the year of acquisition, the scope of our assessment of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures does not include ~~Alpha. For the second quarter and six months of fiscal 2020, Alpha~~NorthStar. NorthStar accounted for ~~$146.0 million~~7.4% of total assets as of July 5, 2020 and ~~$297.1 million, respectively,~~4.8% of ~~our total~~ net sales ~~and as of September 29, 2019 had total assets of $949.2 million.~~for the first quarter ended July 5, 2020.

(b) Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) and determined that there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter to which this report relates that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
