Segment_note

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
Segment note	'
	Segment note
	Operations for the Company are managed via two segments - Personal Care (Wet Shave, Skin Care, Feminine Care and Infant Care) and Household Products (Battery and Portable Lighting products). In October 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of the Stayfree pad, Carefree liner and o.b. tampon feminine care brands in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean from Johnson & Johnson (the feminine care acquisition) and the financial performance related to these brands is included in the Company’s Personal Care segment and within the Feminine Care product category. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses, share-based compensation costs, costs associated with most restructuring initiatives including the 2013 restructuring detailed below, acquisition integration or business realignment activities, and amortization of intangible assets. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of the above mentioned items from segment results reflects management's view on how it evaluates segment performance.
	The Company's operating model includes a combination of stand-alone and combined business functions between the Personal Care and Household Products businesses, varying by country and region of the world. Shared functions include product warehousing and distribution, various transaction processing functions, and in some countries, a combined sales force and management. The Company applies an allocated cost basis, in which the costs of shared segment business functions are allocated between the segments. Such allocations are estimates, and do not represent the costs of such services if performed on a stand-alone basis.
	Effective October 1, 2013, the Company centralized certain corporate administrative functions across the organization as part of the 2013 restructuring project. A portion of these costs were previously reported at the segment level, but are now reported within General corporate and other expenses. Periods prior to this change have not been adjusted to conform to this current presentation.
	For the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded $28.0 and $75.1, respectively, in pre-tax restructuring charges related to its 2013 restructuring as compared to $22.7 and $109.1, respectively, in the prior year quarter and nine months. The 2013 restructuring charges were reported on a separate line in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Condensed). In addition, pre-tax costs of $2.6 and $8.1, for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and $2.1 and $3.2 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, associated with certain information technology enablement activities related to the Company's restructuring initiatives were included in Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Condensed). Additionally, pre-tax costs of $0.4 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014, and $4.7 for both the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2013, associated with obsolescence charges related to the restructuring, were included in Cost of products sold on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Condensed). These information technology and inventory obsolescence costs are considered part of the total project costs incurred for the restructuring initiative. See Note 4 to the Condensed Financial Statements.
	As announced on April 30, 2014, the Company is pursuing a plan to separate the Household Products and Personal Care divisions into two independent, publicly traded companies.  As a result, the Company is incurring incremental costs to evaluate, plan and execute the transaction.  For both the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014, $7.0 of pre-tax charges were recorded in SG&A on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Condensed). See Note 2 to the Condensed Financial Statements.
	In connection with the feminine care acquisition, the Company recorded a pre-tax inventory valuation adjustment of $8.0 representing the increased fair value of the inventory based on the estimated selling price of the finished goods acquired at the close date less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort of the acquiring entity. For the nine months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded $8.0 within Cost of products sold based upon the write-up and subsequent sale of inventory acquired in the feminine care acquisition. For the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014, the Company also recorded pre-tax acquisition/integration costs of $1.5 and $7.4, respectively. These amounts are not reflected in the Personal Care segment, but rather are presented as a separate line item below segment profit, as it is a non-recurring item directly associated with the feminine care acquisition. Such presentation reflects management’s view on how segment results are evaluated.
	In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company approved and communicated changes to its U.S. pension plan, which is the most significant of the Company's pension obligations. Effective January 1, 2014, the pension benefit earned to date by active participants under the legacy Energizer U.S. pension plans was frozen and future service benefits are no longer being accrued under these retirement programs. For the nine months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a non-cash, pre-tax curtailment gain of $37.4 as a result of this plan change. The pension curtailment gain was reported on a separate line in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Condensed).
	For the nine months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded expense of approximately $6 related to the devaluation of its net monetary assets in Venezuela as a result of accounting for the translation of this affiliate under the accounting rules governing a highly inflationary economy. The net monetary assets in Venezuela were valued using the revised official exchange rate of 6.30 Venezuelan Bolivar Fuerte to one U.S. dollar at June 30, 2013. The devaluation impact of approximately $6 was included in Other financing items, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Condensed), and was not considered in the evaluation of segment profit. However, normal operating results in Venezuela, such as sales, gross profit and segment profit, have and may further be negatively impacted by translating at less favorable exchange rates and by the impact of unfavorable economic conditions in the country. These operating results remain part of the reported segment totals. The negative segment impact of the Venezuela devaluation and the unfavorable economic impact on operating results are discussed separately when considered relevant and material to understanding the year-over-year comparatives. See Note 5 to the Condensed Financial Statements.

Proposed Spin-off Transaction	'
	Proposed Spin-off Transaction
	On April 28, 2014, the Board of Directors authorized management to pursue a plan to separate the Company’s Household Products and Personal Care divisions into two independent, publicly traded companies. The separation is planned as a tax-free spin-off to the Company’s shareholders and is expected to be completed in the second half of fiscal year 2015. The proposed separation is subject to further due diligence as appropriate and customary conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals, an opinion of counsel regarding the tax-free nature of the separation, the effectiveness of a Form 10 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and final approval by the Company's Board of Directors.
	We continue to analyze the potential spin-off and expect to file a Form 10 registration statement with the SEC in early calendar 2015.
	The Company is incurring incremental costs to evaluate, plan and execute the transaction.   For both the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014, $7.0 of pre-tax charges were incurred and recorded in SG&A on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Condensed).

Acquisition of Feminine Care Brands	'
	Acquisition of Feminine Care Brands
	In October 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of the Stayfree pad, Carefree liner and o.b. tampon feminine care brands in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean from Johnson & Johnson for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $187.1, inclusive of a $1.8 working capital adjustment, which was finalized and settled in April 2014. The Company financed the feminine care acquisition with approximately $135 of available foreign cash and $50 obtained from borrowings under the Company’s available committed bank facilities. Liabilities assumed as a result of the feminine care acquisition are limited primarily to certain employee benefit obligations. The Company combined these acquired brands within its existing feminine care business in the Personal Care segment. Combining these complementary businesses with our existing feminine care products provides the Company with brands in each of the key feminine hygiene categories. There are no contingent payments, options or commitments associated with the feminine care acquisition.
	As of March 31, 2014, the purchase price allocation for the feminine care acquisition was complete. We have determined the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for purposes of allocating the purchase price,
	in accordance with accounting guidance for business combinations. The Company estimated a fair value adjustment for inventory based on the estimated selling price of the finished goods acquired at the closing date less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort of the acquiring entity. The fair value adjustment for the acquired equipment was established using both a cost and market approach. The fair values of the identifiable intangible assets were estimated using various valuation methods including discounted cash flows using both an income and cost approach.
	The allocation of the purchase price was as follows:
	Inventories	$	44.4
	Goodwill	28
	Intangible assets	39.3
	Other assets	5.1
	Property, plant and equipment,net	95.1
	Other liabilities	(4.5		)
	Pension/Other post-retirement benefits	(20.3		)
	Net assets acquired	$	187.1
	The purchased amortizable identifiable intangible assets are as follows:
		Total			Estimated Life
	Customer relationships	$	6.1		20 years
	Technology and patents	3			7 years
	Total	$	9.1
	Remaining intangible assets acquired are indefinite-lived intangible assets related to the acquired tradenames and will be fully allocated to the Personal Care segment.
	Goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes and amortized over 14 to 15 years, depending on the statutory jurisdiction.
	Proforma revenue and operating results for the feminine care acquisition are not included as they are not considered material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

	Restructuring
	In November 2012, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an enterprise-wide restructuring plan and delegated authority to the Company's management to determine the final actions with respect to this plan.
	As previously disclosed, the primary objectives of the 2013 Restructuring included reduction in workforce, consolidation of G&A functional support across the organization, reduced overhead spending, creation of a center-led purchasing function, and rationalization and streamlining of the Household Products operations facilities, product portfolio and marketing organization.
	In January 2014, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an expansion of scope of the previously announced 2013 restructuring project and delegated authority to the Company's management to determine the final actions with respect to the plan. As a result of the expanded scope of the Company's restructuring efforts, incremental costs will be incurred to successfully execute the program. Total project restructuring costs are estimated to increase from the original outlook of $250 to approximately $350.
	For the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded pre-tax expense related to the 2013 restructuring plan. The Company does not include the 2013 restructuring costs in the results of its reportable segments. The estimated impact of allocating such charges to segment results would have been as follows:

	Venezuela
	Effective January 1, 2010 and continuing through the third fiscal quarter of 2014, the financial statements for our Venezuela subsidiary are consolidated under the rules governing the translation of financial information in a highly inflationary economy based on the use of the blended National Consumer Price Index in Venezuela. Under GAAP, an economy is considered highly inflationary if the cumulative inflation rate for a three year period meets or exceeds 100 percent. If a subsidiary is considered to be in a highly inflationary economy, the financial statements of the subsidiary must be re-measured into our reporting currency (U.S. dollar) and future exchange gains and losses from the re-measurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in current earnings, rather than exclusively in the equity section of the balance sheet, until such times as the economy is no longer considered highly inflationary.
	On February 13, 2013, the Venezuela government devalued the Bolivar Fuerte relative to the U.S. dollar. The revised official exchange rate moved from 4.30 per U.S. dollar to an exchange rate of 6.30 per U.S. dollar. The Central Government also suspended the alternate currency market administered by the central bank known as SITME that made U.S. dollars available at a rate higher than the previous official rate, generally in the range of 5.50 per U.S. dollar. In addition, the Venezuela government also established a new auction-based exchange rate market program, referred to as SICAD.  SICAD allows entities in specific sectors to bid for U.S. dollars to be used for specified import transactions.
	As a result of the devaluation noted above and the elimination of the SITME market, the Company valued its net monetary assets at March 31, 2013 using the revised official rate of 6.30 per U.S. dollar. Thus, the Company recorded a devaluation charge of approximately $6 during the second fiscal quarter of 2013, due primarily to the devaluation of local currency cash balances. This charge was included in Other financing items, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Condensed).
	In fiscal 2014, the Company’s overall results in Venezuela are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements at the official exchange rate equal to 6.30 per U.S. dollar.
	On January 24, 2014, the Venezuelan government issued Exchange Agreement No. 25, which stated the rate of exchange established in the most recent SICAD 1 auction will be used for payments related to international investments, royalties and the use and exploitation of patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises and technology.
	On March 10, 2014, the Venezuelan government announced the inception of the SICAD II program as an additional mechanism to purchase foreign currency. The SICAD II program does not supersede the Cadivi/Cencoex System for essential imports (currently at 6.30 per U.S. dollar) nor the SICAD I (equal to 10.60 per U.S. dollar as of June 30, 2014). Thus far, the Company has not utilized either SICAD auction system. We continue to monitor these situations, including the impact restrictions may have on our future business operations. At this time, the Company is unable to predict with any degree of certainty how recent and future developments in Venezuela will affect our Venezuela operations.
	During the third fiscal quarter of 2014, the Company received additional payments at the 6.30 per U.S. dollar rate for household and personal care products previously imported in accordance with the Non National Production Certificate (CNP) executed between the Company and the Venezuela government.
	At June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $73 in net monetary assets in Venezuela at the official exchange rate of 6.30 to one U.S. dollar.  Depending on the ultimate transparency and liquidity of the SICAD I and II markets, it is possible that the Company may need to remeasure a portion or substantially all of its net monetary balances at a rate other than 6.30. To the extent that the SICAD I or II rates are higher than the official exchange rate at the time our net monetary balances are remeasured, this could result in an additional devaluation charge, which could be material. In addition, operating results translated using a rate higher than the official exchange rate of 6.30 to one U.S. dollar would result in a reduction in earnings, which could be material.
	Transactions executed through SICAD I auctions as of June 30, 2014 were at a rate of 10.60 Bolivares Fuertes to one U.S. dollar. If the Company were to revalue at this rate, the estimated devaluation charge of its net monetary assets as compared to the official exchange rate of 6.30 to one U.S. dollar would equal approximately $30.
	Transactions executed through SICAD II auctions as of June 30, 2014 were at a rate of 49.98 Bolivares Fuertes to one U.S. dollar. If the Company were to revalue its net monetary assets at this rate, the estimated devaluation charge as compared to the official exchange rate of 6.30 to one U.S. dollar would equal approximately $64.
	Net sales for Venezuela represented 1.3% of consolidated net sales for both the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014.

	Total compensation costs charged against income for the Company’s share-based compensation arrangements were $6.4 and $23.7 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and $7.9 and $22.4 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and were recorded in SG&A. The total income tax benefit recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Condensed) for share-based compensation arrangements was $2.3 and $8.8 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, and $3.0 and $8.4 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
	Restricted Stock Equivalents (RSE) - (In whole dollars and total shares)
	In November 2013, the Company granted RSE awards to a group of key employees which included approximately 179,800 shares that vest ratably over four years or upon death or change of control. At the same time, the Company granted two RSE awards to a group of key executives. One grant includes approximately 39,800 shares and vests, in most cases, on the third anniversary of the date of grant or upon death or change of control. The second grant includes approximately 238,600 shares, which vests on the date that the Company publicly releases its earnings for its 2016 fiscal year, contingent upon achievement of performance targets with respect to adjusted cumulative earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted return on invested capital, weighted equally, and subject to adjustment based on relative total shareholder return during the three year performance period based on a relevant group of industrial and consumer goods companies. In addition, the terms of the performance awards provide that the awards vest upon death and in some instances upon change of control and potential pro rata vesting for retirement based on age and service requirements. The total performance awards expected to vest will be amortized over the vesting period. The closing stock price on the date of the grant used to determine the award estimated fair value was $101.56. The awards that are contingent upon achievement of performance targets have a 5% fair value premium added to the closing stock price on the date of the grant based on a simulation of outcomes under the relative total shareholders' return metric required by the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") section 718.

	Basic earnings per share is based on the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the average number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock equivalents.
	The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

	The Company had indefinite-lived intangible assets of $1,735.7 ($1,653.8 in Personal Care and $81.9 in Household Products) at June 30, 2014, an increase of $31.8 from September 30, 2013 due to the feminine care acquisition of $30.2 and changes in foreign currency translation rates. Estimated amortization expense for amortizable intangible assets for the remainder of fiscal 2014 and the years ending September 30, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 is approximately $4.0, $15.9, $15.9, $15.6, $8.1 and $6.8, respectively, and $60.4 thereafter.
	Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized, but reviewed annually for impairment of value or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The Company continuously monitors changing business conditions, which may indicate that the remaining useful life of goodwill and other intangible assets may warrant revision or carrying amounts may require adjustment. As part of the fiscal 2013 testing, no impairment was indicated. However, the indicated fair values resulting from the Company's discounted cash flow analysis for two brands, Playtex and Wet Ones, were relatively close to the carrying values of approximately 107% (approximately $650) for the Playtex brand and approximately 109% of the carrying value (approximately $200) for the Wet Ones brand. Key assumptions included in the testing of these brand values were a discount rate of 7.5% and a terminal growth rate of 2.0%. As of June 30, 2014, there were no events or circumstances that were considered to be potential indicators of impairment for goodwill or the indefinite-lived intangible assets. As in the past, the Company plans to complete its annual testing for fiscal 2014 in the fourth fiscal quarter, in conjunction with the completion of the annual planning cycle.
	The acquired goodwill and intangible assets related to the feminine care acquisition have been included in the disclosures above. For purposes of the allocation, the fair values of the identifiable intangible assets were estimated using various valuation methods including discounted cash flows using both an income and cost approach. See Note 3 to the Condensed Financial Statements for further information on the feminine care acquisition valuation.

	Pension plans and other postretirement benefits
	The Company has several defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all of its employees in the United States (U.S.) and certain employees in other countries. The plans provide retirement benefits based on years of service and on earnings. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company approved and communicated changes to its U.S. pension plan, which is the most significant of the Company's pension obligations. Effective January 1, 2014, the pension benefit earned to date by active participants under the legacy Energizer U.S. pension plan were frozen and future service benefits are no longer being accrued under this retirement program. For the nine months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a non-cash, pre-tax curtailment gain of $37.4 ($23.5 after-tax) as a result of this plan change. The pension curtailment gain was reported on a separate line in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Condensed).
	In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company finalized and communicated a decision to discontinue certain post-retirement medical and life insurance benefits in the U.S. The communication was provided to all eligible participants of the impacted plans and advised that the Company would discontinue all benefits associated with the impacted plans effective December 31, 2013.
	The Company also sponsors or participates in a number of other non-U.S. pension arrangements, including various retirement and termination benefit plans, some of which are required by local law or coordinated with government-sponsored plans, which are not significant in the aggregate and, therefore, are not included in the information presented below.
	As a result of the feminine care acquisition, the Company assumed certain pension and post-retirement obligations of approximately $20 related to the plans in place.
	The Company’s net periodic benefit cost for these plans are as follows:

	Less current portion	80		140
	Total long-term debt	$	1,918.90	$	1,998.80
	The Company’s total borrowings were $2,341.4 at June 30, 2014, including $342.5 tied to variable interest rates. The Company maintains total committed debt facilities of $2,616.4. The Company's Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, which matures in 2016, currently provides for revolving credit loans and the issuance of letters of credit in an aggregate amount of up to $450. The Company had $175.0 outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and $262.8 available as of June 30, 2014, taking into account outstanding borrowings and $12.2 of outstanding letters of credit.
	Advances under the Company's $150 receivables securitization program, as amended, are not considered debt for purposes of the Company’s debt compliance covenants, but are included in total debt on the balance sheet. At June 30, 2014, there was $143.5 outstanding under this facility.
	In addition, the Company had outstanding international borrowings, recorded within Notes payable, of $24.0 as of June 30, 2014.
	Under the terms of the Company’s credit agreement, the ratio of the Company’s indebtedness to its earnings before interest taxes depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as defined in the agreement and detailed below, cannot be greater than 4.0 to 1, and may not remain above 3.5 to 1 for more than four consecutive quarters. If and so long as the ratio is above 3.5 to 1 for any period, the Company is required to pay additional interest expense for the period in which the ratio exceeds 3.5 to 1. The interest rate margin and certain fees vary depending on the indebtedness to EBITDA ratio. Under the Company’s private placement note agreements, indebtedness to EBITDA may not be greater than 4.0 to 1; if the ratio is above 3.5 to 1 for any quarter, the Company is required to pay additional interest on the private placement notes of 0.75% per annum for each quarter until the ratio is reduced to not more than 3.5 to 1. In addition, under the credit agreement, the ratio of its current year earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), as defined in the agreement, to total interest expense must exceed 3.0 to 1. Under the credit agreement, EBITDA is defined as net earnings, as adjusted to add-back interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, all of which are determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the credit agreement allows certain non-cash charges such as stock award amortization and asset write-offs including, but not limited to, impairment and accelerated depreciation, to be “added-back” in determining EBITDA for purposes of the indebtedness ratio. Severance and other cash charges incurred as a result of restructuring and realignment activities as well as expenses incurred in acquisition integration activities are included as reductions in EBITDA for calculation of the indebtedness ratio. In the event of an acquisition, EBITDA is calculated on a pro forma basis to include the trailing twelve-month EBITDA of the acquired company or brands. Total debt is calculated in accordance with GAAP, but excludes outstanding borrowings under the receivable securitization program. EBIT is calculated in a fashion identical to EBITDA except that depreciation and amortization are not “added-back”. Total interest expense is calculated in accordance with GAAP.
	The Company’s ratio of indebtedness to its EBITDA was 2.5 to 1, and the ratio of its EBIT to total interest expense was 5.8 to 1, as of June 30, 2014. In addition to the financial covenants described above, the credit agreements and the note purchase agreements contain customary representations and affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on liens, sales of assets, subsidiary indebtedness, mergers and similar transactions, changes in the nature of the business of the Company and transactions with affiliates. If the Company fails to comply with the financial covenants referred to above or with other requirements of the credit agreement or private placement note agreements, the lenders would have the right to accelerate the maturity of the debt. Acceleration under one of these facilities would trigger cross defaults on other borrowings.
	Aggregate maturities of long-term debt, including current maturities, at June 30, 2014 are as follows: $80.0 in one year, $220.0 in two years, $290.0 in three years, $310.0 in four years, zero in five years and $1,100.0 thereafter. At this time, the Company intends to repay only scheduled debt maturities over the course of the next fiscal year.
	At June 30, 2014, substantially all of the Company's cash balances were located outside the U.S. Given our extensive international operations, a significant portion of our cash is denominated in foreign currencies. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. The repatriation of cash balances from certain of our subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences or be subject to regulatory capital requirements; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations. U.S. income taxes have not been provided on certain undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries. Our intention is to reinvest these earnings outside the U.S. indefinitely.
	The counterparties to deposits consist of a number of major financial institutions. The Company consistently monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside ratings agencies.

All shares were purchased in the open market under the Company's current authorization from its Board of Directors. The Company has approximately five million shares remaining under the above noted Board authorization to repurchase its common stock in the future. Future share repurchases, if any, would be made on the open market, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in such amounts and at such times as the Company deems appropriate based upon prevailing market conditions, business needs and other factors.

	Financial Instruments and Risk Management
	At times, the Company enters into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price risks. The section below outlines the types of derivatives that existed at June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, as well as the Company’s objectives and strategies for holding derivative instruments.
	Commodity Price Risk The Company uses raw materials that are subject to price volatility. At times, the Company has used, and may in the future use, hedging instruments to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with future purchases of certain materials and commodities. At June 30, 2014, there were no open derivative or hedging instruments for future purchases of raw materials or commodities.
	Foreign Currency Risk A significant share of the Company’s sales are tied to currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency.  As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can have a negative impact to reported earnings.  Conversely, strengthening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve reported results. The primary currencies to which the Company is exposed include the Euro, the Japanese Yen, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar.
	Additionally, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create non-functional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each period. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in an exchange gain or loss recorded in Other financing items, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Condensed). The primary currency to which the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar.
	Venezuela Currency Risk See Note 5 to the Condensed Financial Statements for further information on Venezuela currency risk.
	Interest Rate Risk The Company has interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. At June 30, 2014, the Company had $342.5 of variable rate debt outstanding, which was primarily outstanding borrowings under the Company's receivable securitization program and its Revolving Credit Agreement.
	Cash Flow Hedges At June 30, 2014, the Company maintains a cash flow hedging program related to foreign currency risk. These derivative instruments have a high correlation to the underlying exposure being hedged and have been deemed highly effective for accounting purposes in offsetting the associated risk.
	The Company enters into a series of forward currency contracts to hedge the cash flow uncertainty of forecasted inventory purchases due to currency fluctuations. These transactions are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The Company had an unrealized pre-tax loss of $4.7 and unrealized pre-tax gain of $1.5 at June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively, on these forward currency contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Condensed). Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at June 30, 2014 levels over the next twelve months, approximately $4.6 of the pre-tax loss included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2014, is expected to be included in earnings. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal year 2016. There were 78 open foreign currency contracts at June 30, 2014 with a total notional value of approximately $308.
	Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships The Company holds a share option with a major financial institution to mitigate the impact of changes in certain of the Company’s deferred compensation liabilities, which are tied to the Company’s common stock price. The contract is renewed on an annual basis and will expire again in November 2014. Period activity related to the share option is classified in the same category in the cash flow statement as the period activity associated with the Company’s deferred compensation liability, which is cash flow from operations.
	The Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes to hedge balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts are expected to be offset by exchange gains or losses on the underlying exposures, thus they are not subject to significant market risk. The change in estimated fair value of the foreign currency contracts for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014 resulted in expense of $8.5 and income of $2.2, respectively, and income of $4.3 and $6.5 for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and was recorded in Other financing items, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income (Condensed). There were 14 open foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges at June 30, 2014, with a total notional value of approximately $282.
	The following table provides estimated fair values as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, and the amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedges for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

	Foreign Currency Contracts		Other Current Liabilities, Other Liabilities		$	9.3			$	(0.8	)		$	8.5			$	8.6			$	(0.2	)	$	8.4
	The net amounts of derivative assets and liabilities are reconciled to the individual line item amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (Condensed).
	Fair Value Hierarchy Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories:
	Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
	Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.
	Under the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy, an entity is required to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 that are measured on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy:
		Level 2
		June 30,				September 30,
		2014				2013
	Assets/(Liabilities) at estimated fair value:
	Deferred Compensation	$	(165.0	)		$	(167.6	)
	Derivatives - Foreign Currency Contracts	(4.6		)		(1.7		)
	Share Option	5.1				7.7
	Net Liabilities at estimated fair value	$	(164.5	)		$	(161.6	)
	At June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company had no level 1 or level 3 financial assets or liabilities.
At June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $2,118.3 and $2,262.3, respectively, compared to its carrying value of $1,998.9 and $2,138.8, respectively. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt is estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The estimated fair value of fixed rate long-term debt has been determined based on level 2 inputs.
Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings, including notes payable, carrying amounts on the balance sheets approximate fair value. The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents and short-term borrowings have been determined based on level 2 inputs.
At June 30, 2014, the estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts, is the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts, considering first, quoted market prices of comparable agreements, or in the absence of quoted market prices, such factors as interest rates, currency exchange rates and remaining maturities. The estimated fair value of the deferred compensation liability is determined based upon the quoted market prices of the Energizer Common Stock Unit Fund as well as other investment options that are offered under the plan.

	On April 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (the revised standard). The revised standard changes today’s guidance and, in many cases, is expected to result in fewer disposals being presented as discontinued operations. The guidance is to be applied prospectively to all new disposals of components and new classifications as held for sale beginning in 2015 for most entities, with early adoption allowed in 2014. We will evaluate the effects of this standard on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows as applicable.
	On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2104-09, Revenue for Contracts with customers, which provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers to improve comparability within industries, across industries, and across capital markets. The standard is effective for public companies for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company’s first reporting date with the new standard will be December 31, 2017. The effects of this standard on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are not yet known.

	The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to a number of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions arising out of the operations of the Company's businesses. Many of these legal matters are in preliminary stages and involve complex issues of law and fact, and may proceed for protracted periods of time. The amount of liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty. However, based upon present information, the Company believes that its liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, are not reasonably likely to be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities.

	Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information - (Unaudited)
	The Company's notes issued in May 2011 and May 2012 (collectively the "Notes") are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Company's existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries that are guarantors of any of the Company's credit agreements or other indebtedness for borrowed money (the “Guarantors”). The Guarantors are 100% owned either directly or indirectly by the Company and jointly and severally guarantee the Company's obligations under the Notes and substantially all of the Company's other outstanding indebtedness. The Company's subsidiaries organized outside of the U.S. and certain domestic subsidiaries, which are not guarantors of any of the Company's other indebtedness, (collectively, the “Non-Guarantors”) do not guarantee the Notes. The subsidiary guarantee with respect to the Notes is subject to release upon sale of all of the capital stock of the Subsidiary Guarantor; if the guarantee under the Company's credit agreements and other indebtedness for borrowed money is released or discharged (other than due to payment under such guarantee); or when the requirements for legal defeasance are satisfied or the obligations are discharged in accordance with the indenture.
	Set forth below are the condensed consolidating financial statements presenting the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Parent Company (Energizer Holdings, Inc.), the Guarantors on a combined basis, the Non-Guarantors on a combined basis and eliminations necessary to arrive at the information for the Company as reported, on a consolidated basis. Eliminations represent adjustments to eliminate investments in subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions between or among the Parent Company, the Guarantor and the Non-Guarantor subsidiaries.

(a) Trade receivables, net for the Non-Guarantors includes $272.1 at June 30, 2014 of U.S. trade receivables sold from the Guarantors to Energizer Receivables Funding Corp ("ERF"), a 100% owned, special purpose subsidiary, which is a non-guarantor of the Notes. These receivables are used by ERF to securitize the borrowings under the Company's receivable securitization facility. The trade receivables are short-term in nature (on average less than 90 days). As payment of the receivable obligation is received from the customer, ERF remits the cash to the Guarantors in payment for the purchase of the receivables. Cost and expenses paid by ERF related to the receivable securitization facility are re-billed to the Guarantors by way of intercompany services fees.
(b) Intercompany activity includes notes that bear interest due from the Guarantors to the Parent Company. Interest rates on these notes approximate the interest rates paid by the Parent on third party debt. Additionally, other intercompany activities include product purchases between Guarantors and Non-Guarantors, charges for services provided by the parent and various subsidiaries to other affiliates within the consolidated entity and other intercompany activities in the normal course of business.

Schedule of Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Recurring Basis [Table Text Block]	'
	Fair Value Hierarchy Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories:
	Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
	Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.
	Under the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy, an entity is required to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, as of June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 that are measured on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy:

(a) Trade receivables, net for the Non-Guarantors includes $272.1 at June 30, 2014 of U.S. trade receivables sold from the Guarantors to Energizer Receivables Funding Corp ("ERF"), a 100% owned, special purpose subsidiary, which is a non-guarantor of the Notes. These receivables are used by ERF to securitize the borrowings under the Company's receivable securitization facility. The trade receivables are short-term in nature (on average less than 90 days). As payment of the receivable obligation is received from the customer, ERF remits the cash to the Guarantors in payment for the purchase of the receivables. Cost and expenses paid by ERF related to the receivable securitization facility are re-billed to the Guarantors by way of intercompany services fees.
(b) Intercompany activity includes notes that bear interest due from the Guarantors to the Parent Company. Interest rates on these notes approximate the interest rates paid by the Parent on third party debt. Additionally, other intercompany activities include product purchases between Guarantors and Non-Guarantors, charges for services provided by the parent and various subsidiaries to other affiliates within the consolidated entity and other intercompany activities in the normal course of business.

[1]	Trade receivables, net for the Non-Guarantors includes $272.1 at June 30, 2014 of U.S. trade receivables sold from the Guarantors to Energizer Receivables Funding Corp ("ERF"), a 100% owned, special purpose subsidiary, which is a non-guarantor of the Notes. These receivables are used by ERF to securitize the borrowings under the Company's receivable securitization facility. The trade receivables are short-term in nature (on average less than 90 days). As payment of the receivable obligation is received from the customer, ERF remits the cash to the Guarantors in payment for the purchase of the receivables. Cost and expenses paid by ERF related to the receivable securitization facility are re-billed to the Guarantors by way of intercompany services fees.
[2]	Trade receivables, net for the Non-Guarantors includes $221.4 at September 30, 2013 of U.S. trade receivables sold from the Guarantors to Energizer Receivables Funding Corp ("ERF"), a 100% owned, special purpose subsidiary, which is a non-guarantor of the Notes. These receivables are used by ERF to securitize the borrowings under the Company's receivable securitization facility. The trade receivables are short-term in nature (on average less than 90 days). As payment of the receivable obligation is received from the customer, ERF remits the cash to the Guarantors in payment for the purchase of the receivables. Cost and expenses paid by ERF related to the receivable securitization facility are re-billed to the Guarantors by way of intercompany services fees.
[3]	Intercompany activity includes notes that bear interest due from the Guarantors to the Parent Company. Interest rates on these notes approximate the interest rates paid by the Parent on third party debt. Additionally, other intercompany activities include product purchases between Guarantors and Non-Guarantors, charges for services provided by the parent and various subsidiaries to other affiliates within the consolidated entity and other intercompany activities in the normal course of business.
