NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)


1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments except those otherwise described herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, unless otherwise disclosed. Operating results for the three and nine months ended January 2,July 3, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022.2023.

The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at March 31, 20212022 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s 20212022 Annual Report on Form 10-K (SEC File No. 001-32253), which was filed on May 26, 202125, 2022 (the “2021“2022 Annual Report”).

EnerSys (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 2023 end on July 3, 2022, endOctober 2, 2022, January 1, 2023, and March 31, 2023, respectively. The four quarters in fiscal 2022 ended on July 4, 2021, October 3, 2021, January 2, 2022, and March 31, 2022, respectively. The four quarters in fiscal 2021 ended on July 5, 2020, October 4, 2020, January 3, 2021, and March 31, 2021, 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 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 adopted the standard in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's 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 including its variants (“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.

Service revenues for the nine months of fiscal 2022 and 2021 amounted to $260,588 and $216,666,$82,518, respectively.

A small portion of the Company's customer arrangements oblige 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 hours, costs incurred and units of production. Revenues recognized over time for the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 20222023 and 20212022 amounted to $49,058$57,004 and $37,975,$40,904, respectively. Revenues recognized over time for the nine monthsof fiscal 2022 and 2021 amounted to $133,569 and $109,152, respectively.

On January 2,July 3, 2022, the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was approximately $144,588,$187,522, of which, the Company estimates that approximately $59,599$159,653 will be recognized as revenue in fiscal 2022, $68,629 in fiscal 2023, $12,510$24,579 in fiscal 2024, and $3,850$3,290 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 January 2,July 3, 2022, the current and non-current portion of contract liabilities were $31,293$27,733 and $1,416,$1,266, respectively. As of March 31, 2021,2022, the current and non-current portion of contract liabilities were $15,992$27,870 and $2,072,$1,387, respectively. Revenues recognized during the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 20222023 and 20212022 that were included in the contract liability at the beginning of the quarter, amounted to $4,890$4,590 and $6,785, respectively. Revenues recognized during the nine months of fiscal 2022 and 2021 that were included in the contract liability at the beginning of the quarter, amounted to $6,722 and $12,110,$3,596, respectively.

Amounts representing work completed and not billed to customers represent contract assets and were $50,257$66,643 and $46,451$59,924 as of January 2,July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2021,2022, 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 January 2,July 3, 2022, the right of return asset related to the value of inventory anticipated to be returned from customers was $4,604$4,605 and refund liability representing amounts estimated to be refunded to customers was $8,119.$8,053.

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.

Short term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not presented on the balance sheet and expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

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- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 20212022 Annual Report.

The fair values for foreign currency forward contracts and net investment hedges 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 Second 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.

In fiscal 2020, the Company issued its 4.375% Senior Notes due December 15, 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), with an original face value of $300,000. The Company's 5.00% Senior Notes due April 30, 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), with an original face value of $300,000, were issued in fiscal 2016. The fair value of the 2027 Notes and 2023 Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) represent the trading values based upon quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2. The 2027 Notes were trading at approximately 104%88% and 102%95% of face value on January 2,July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2021,2022, respectively. The 2023 Notes were trading at approximately 103%99% and 105%101% of face value on January 2,July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2021,2022, respectively.

Non-recurring fair value measurements

On June 29, 2022, the Company committed to a plan to close its facility in Ooltewah, Tennessee, which focused on manufacturing flooded motive power batteries for electric forklifts. Management determined that future demand for traditional motive power flooded cells will decrease as customers transition to maintenance free product solutions in lithium and Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL). As a result, the Company concluded that the carrying value of the asset group was not recoverable and recorded during the current quarter of fiscal 2023 a write-off of $7,300 of the fixed assets, for which there is expected to be no salvageable value. The valuation technique used to measure the fair value of fixed assets was a combination of the income and market approaches. The inputs used to measure the fair value of these fixed assets under the income approach were largely unobservable and accordingly were classified as Level 3.


7. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest, 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 January 2,July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2021,2022, the Company has hedged the price to purchase approximately 48.055.5 million pounds and 54.554.0 million pounds of lead, respectively, for a total purchase price of $49,869$54,078 and $50,567,$56,768, 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 January 2,July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2021,2022, the Company had entered into a total of $28,622$33,463 and $26,033,$29,676, respectively, of such contracts.

Derivatives in Net Investment Hedging Relationships

Net Investment Hedges

On December 23, 2021, the Company entered into cross currency fixed interest rate swap agreements, with aggregate notional amounts of $300,000, to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between U.S. Dollarsdollars and Euros.euros. These swaps mature on December 15, 2027 and qualify for hedge accounting as a net investment hedging instrument, which allows the swaps to be remeasured to foreign currency translation adjustment within AOCI (“Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”) to offset the translation risk from those investments. Balances in the foreign currency translation adjustment accounts remain until the sale or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity, upon which they are recognized as a component of income (expense).

Impact of Hedging Instruments on AOCI

In the coming twelve months, the Company anticipates that $5,919$1,714 of pretax gainloss relating to lead, foreign currency forward contracts and net investment hedges will be reclassified from AOCI as part of cost of goods sold and interest expense. This amount represents the current net unrealized impact of hedging lead, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, which will change as market rates change in the future. This amount will ultimately be realized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income as an offset to the corresponding actual changes in lead, foreign exchange rates and interest costs resulting from variable lead cost, foreign exchange and interest rates 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 January 2,July 3, 2022 and March 31, 2021,2022, the notional amount of these contracts was $25,802$51,256 and $28,995,$22,990, 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:

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20212022 (our “2021“2022 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, including global supply chain disruptions;
general cyclical patterns of the industries in which our customers operate;
global economic trends, competition and geopolitical risks, including impacts from the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the related sanctions and other measures, changes in the rates of investment or economic growth in key markets we serve, or an escalation of sanctions, tariffs or other trade tensions between the U.S. and China or other countries, and related impacts on our global supply chains and strategies;
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 energy or certain hazardous substances in our products;
risks involved in our operations such as supply chain issues, 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;
changes in macroeconomic and market conditions and market volatility, (including developments and volatility arising from the COVID-19 pandemic), including inflation, interest rates, the value of securities and other financial assets, transportation costs, costs and availability of electronic components, lead, plastic resins, steel, copper and other commodities used by us, and the impact of such changes and volatility on our financial position and business;
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 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;
29

Table of Contents
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;
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;facilities or other borrowings;
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;
risks related to the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate and other reference rates, including increased expenses and the effectiveness of hedging strategies;
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;
delays or cancellations in shipments;
occurrence of natural or man-made disasters or calamities, including health emergencies, the spread of infectious diseases, pandemics, vaccine mandates, outbreaks of hostilities or terrorist acts, or the effects of climate change, and our ability to deal effectively with damages or 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 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 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.

Economic Climate

The economic climate in North America, China and China experiencedEMEA began to slow in the first half of calendar 2022 after experiencing strong growth during calendar 20212021. All regions are experiencing a rise in inflation and is expected to grow strong in calendar 2022. EMEA’s economy grew moderately faster than normal in calendar 2021 and is forecasted to do the same in 2022. EMEA’s economic growth has been moreare being negatively impacted by the war in Ukraine. Interest rates are expected to continue to increase in the U.S. and the euro zone will see increased interest rates in the second half of 2022, the region’s first increase in 11 years. China’s slowing economy is facing further headwinds caused by continued COVID-19 pandemic during calendar 2021. Inflation has increased in all regions during calendar 2021.lockdowns due to rising cases and its zero-Covid approach.

EnerSys is experiencing supply chain disruptions and cost spikes in certain materials such as plastic resins and electronic components along with transportation and related logistics challenges and broad-based cost increases. In addition, somecertain locations are experiencing difficulty meeting hiring goals. Generally, our mitigation efforts and the recent economic recovery,ongoing lean initiatives, have tempered the impact of the pandemic-related challenges. The overall market demand remains robust.

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. AsSince the beginning of fiscal year 2023, we have experienced a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,steady decline in lead cost dropped into the low 70 centsprices from just above $1.10 per pound during our first fiscal quarter of 2021 and has currently rallied to just below $1.10$0.90 per pound, which is above the pre-COVID-19 levels.pound. We are experiencing increasing costs in some of our other raw materials such as plastic resins, steel, copper, acid, separator paper and electronics and increased freight and energy 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 now subject to agreements that adjust pricing to a market-based index for lead. Customer pricing changes generally lag movements in lead prices and other costs by approximately six to nine months. In fiscal 2022,2023, customer pricing has increased due to leadcertain commodity prices and other costs having increased throughout the year.

Based on current commodity markets, we will likelyexpect to see year over yearcontinued headwinds from increasing commodity prices, labor and energy costs with some related increaseincreases in our selling prices in the upcoming year. As we concentrate more on energy systems and non-lead chemistries, the emphasis on lead willis expected to continue to decline.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we entered into a second amendment to the Amended Credit Facility (as amended, the “Second Amended Credit Facility”). As a result, the Second Amended Credit Facility, now scheduled to mature on September 30, 2026, consists of a $130.0 million senior secured term loan (the “Second Amended Term Loan”), a CAD 106.4 million ($84.2 million) term loan and an $850.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Second Amended Revolver”). This amendment resulted in a decrease of the Amended Term Loan by $150.0 million and an increase of the Amended Revolver by $150.0 million.

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 $397$383 million of available cash and cash equivalents and available and undrawn committed credit lines of approximately $571$353 million at January 2,July 3, 2022, availability subject to 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.

Our 5% Senior Notes mature on April 30, 2023, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. We expect to refinance the redemption of the 2023 Notes with borrowings under the Second Amended Credit Facility.

During the current quarter, the Company repurchased 1,093,561358,365 shares of common stock for approximately $83.0 million. Between January 3, 2022 through February 9, 2022, the Company repurchased 446,969 shares for approximately $33.1$22.9 million.

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 Company’s income tax provision consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provision for the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 20222023 and 20212022 was based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 20222023 and March 31, 2021,2022, 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 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 were effective January 1, 2020. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.9 million during the nine months of fiscal 2021.

The consolidated effective income tax rates for the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 were 15.7% and 2021 were 15.3% and 11.9%16.0%, respectively and were 14.2% and 13.7% for the nine months of fiscal 2022 and 2021, respectively. The rate increasedecrease in the thirdfirst quarter compared to the prior quarter is primarily due to Hagen, Germany exit charges and changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. The rate increase in the nine monthsof fiscal 2022 compared to the prior year period is primarily due to changes in mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions.

Foreign income as a percentage of worldwide income is estimated to be 79%77% for fiscal 20222023 compared to 67%87% for fiscal 2021.2022. The foreign effective income tax rate for the nine monthsfirst quarter of fiscal 2023 and 2022 were 11% and 2021 were 10.2% and 5.0%9%, respectively. Income from the Company's Swiss subsidiary comprised a substantial portion of our overall foreign mix of income for both fiscal 20222023 and fiscal 20212022 and were taxed at an effective income tax rate of approximately 9% and 8% in both periods.

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 $989.9$1,131.5 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of
29.3%31.5%) at January 2,July 3, 2022, $797.9$1,042.0 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 24.5%28.7%) at March 31, 20212022 and $793.9$851.5 million at January 3,July 4, 2021 (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 26.4%26.1%). The primary working capital percentage of 29.3%31.5% at January 2,July 3, 2022 is 480280 basis points higher than that for March 31, 20212022 and 290540 basis points higher than that for January 3,July 4, 2021. The large increase in primary working capital dollars, compared to March 31, 2022 and the nine monthsfirst quarter of fiscal 20212022, reflects the increase in all components of inventory due to strategic investment, supply chain delays, new products and higher inventory costs from higher raw material costs, manufacturing and freight costs and to address the high backlog of customer orders. In addition, trade receivables increased due to higher revenue during the current nine months of fiscal 2022, as compared to a COVID-19 restricted revenue in the prior year. The increase in primary working capital dollarspayables decreased compared to March 31, 2021 is primarily2022, due to seasonal reduction. Trade payables increased inventory levels for similar reasons as stated above, as well as trade receivable increasein the current quarter compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022 due to higher seasonal days sales outstanding atin the current fiscal quarter end.quarter.

Compliance with Debt Covenants

On July 15, 2021, we entered into a second amendment to our Amended Credit Facility that resulted in the extension of the maturity date for the Second Amended Credit Facility to September 30, 2026, resetting of the principal amortization with respect to the Amended Term Loan, refinancing and reducing the existing Amended Term Loan, increasing the revolving line of credit limit, and certain other modifications.

All obligations under our Second Amended Credit Facility are secured by, among other things, substantially all of our U.S. assets. The Second 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 Second Amended Credit Facility and Senior 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 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 20212022 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.

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, foreign exchange forward and purchased option contracts and cross currency fixed interest rate swaps to manage the risk associated with our exposures to fluctuations resulting from changes in raw material costs, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company’s agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions. Those contracts that result in a liability position at January 2,July 3, 2022 are $6.1 million (pre-tax). Those contracts that result in an asset position at January 2,July 3, 2022 are $1.1$23.5 million (pre-tax). The impact on the Company due to nonperformance by the counterparties has been evaluated and not deemed material.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company entered into cross currency fixed interest rate swap agreements, with aggregate notional amounts of $300 million, to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between U.S. Dollarsdollars and Euros.euros. These swaps mature on December 15, 2027. Depending on the movement in the exchange rates between U.S. Dollarsdollars and Euroseuros at maturity, the Company may owe the counterparties an amount that is different from the original notional amount of $300 million.

Excluding the cross currency fixed interest rate swap agreements, the vast majority of these contracts will settle within one year.

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.

Table of Contents

A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased annual interest expense, by approximately $6.3approximately $8.3 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:

July 4, 202148.7 50.0 0.97 

(1) Based on the fiscal year lead requirements for the periods then ended.

For the remaining one quarterthree quarters of this fiscal year, we believe approximately 100%46% of the cost of our lead requirements is known. This takes into account the hedge contracts in place at January 2,July 3, 2022, lead purchased by January 2,July 3, 2022 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 $19 million and $52$23 million in the thirdfirst quarter and nine monthsof fiscal 2022, respectively.2023.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks

We manufacture and assemble our products globally in the Americas, EMEA and Asia. Approximately 40% of our sales and related 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, Canadian dollar, Brazilian Real 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. During the currentthird quarter of fiscal year 2022, we also entered into cross currency fixed interest rate swap agreements, to hedge our net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between U.S. Dollarsdollars and Euros.euros.

At January 2,July 3, 2022 and January 3,July 4, 2021, we estimate that an unfavorable 10% movement in the exchange rates would have adversely changed our hedge valuations by approximately $42.2$36.7 million and $3.8$3.6 million, respectively.
