Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business EnerSys (the “Company”) and its predecessor companies have been manufacturers of industrial batteries for over 125 years. EnerSys is a global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications. The Company manufactures, markets and distributes industrial batteries and related products such as chargers, outdoor cabinet enclosures, power equipment and battery accessories, and provides related after-market and customer-support services for industrial batteries. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated 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. Control generally equates to ownership percentage, whereby investments that are more than 50% owned are generally consolidated, investments in affiliates of 50% or less but greater than 20% are generally accounted for using the equity method, and investments in affiliates of 20% or less are accounted for using the cost method. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company also consolidates certain subsidiaries in which the noncontrolling interest party has within its control the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of its interest in the subsidiary. The redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported at their estimated redemption value, and the amount presented in temporary equity is not less than the initial amount reported in temporary equity. Any adjustment to the redemption value impacts retained earnings but does not impact net income or comprehensive income. Noncontrolling interests which are redeemable only upon future events, the occurrence of which is not currently probable, are recorded at carrying value. Foreign Currency Translation Results of foreign operations of subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the periods. The assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates as of the balance sheet dates. Gains or losses resulting from translating the foreign currency financial statements are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in EnerSys’ stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests. Transaction gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the applicable subsidiary are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income, within “Other (income) expense, net”, in the year in which the change occurs. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete. This occurs when risk and title transfers, collectibility is reasonably assured and pricing is fixed or determinable. Shipment terms are either shipping point or destination and do not differ significantly between the Company’s business segments. Accordingly, revenue is recognized when risk and title are transferred to the customer. Amounts invoiced to customers for shipping and handling are classified as revenue. Taxes on revenue producing transactions are not included in net sales. The Company recognizes revenue from the service of its products when the respective services are performed. Accruals are made at the time of sale for sales returns and other allowances based on the Company’s historical experience. Freight Expense Amounts billed to customers for outbound freight costs are classified as sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Costs incurred by the Company for outbound freight costs to customers, inbound and transfer freight are classified in cost of goods sold. Warranties The Company’s products are warranted for a period ranging from one to twenty years for reserve power batteries and for a period ranging from one to seven years for motive power batteries. The Company provides for estimated product warranty expenses when the related products are sold. The assessment of the adequacy of the reserve includes a review of open claims and historical experience. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that subject the Company to potential concentration of credit risk consist principally of short-term cash investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company invests its cash with various financial institutions and in various investment instruments limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution or entity. The Company has bank deposits that exceed federally insured limits. In addition, certain cash investments may be made in U.S. and foreign government bonds, or other highly rated investments guaranteed by the U.S. or foreign governments. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited by a large, diversified customer base and its geographic dispersion. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and requires collateral, such as letters of credit, in certain circumstances. Accounts Receivable The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. The allowance is based on management’s estimate of uncollectible accounts, analysis of historical data and trends, as well as reviews of all relevant factors concerning the financial capability of its customers. Accounts receivable are considered to be past due based on how payments are received compared to the customer’s credit terms. Accounts are written off when management determines the account is uncollectible. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of inventory consists of material, labor, and associated overhead. Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost and include expenditures that substantially increase the useful lives of the assets. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: 10 to 33 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Interest on capital projects is capitalized during the construction period. Business Combinations The purchase price of an acquired company is allocated between tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquired business based on their estimated fair values, with the residual of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of the acquired business are included in the Company’s operating results from the date of acquisition. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and indefinite-lived trademarks are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that a possible impairment may have been incurred. Goodwill is tested for impairment by determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting units. These estimated fair values are based on financial projections, certain cash flow measures, and market capitalization. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the Company must perform the second step of the impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the reporting unit's fair value is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that calculates the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss. The indefinite-lived trademarks are tested for impairment by comparing the carrying value to the fair value based on current revenue projections of the related operations, under the relief from royalty method. Any excess carrying value over the amount of fair value is recognized as impairment. Any impairment would be recognized in full in the reporting period in which it has been identified. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using a weighting of fair values derived from both the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, the Company calculates the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate used is based on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the business's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. The market approach estimates fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable publicly-traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit. The weighting of the fair value derived from the market approach ranges from 0% to 50% depending on the level of comparability of these publicly-traded companies to the reporting unit. In order to assess the reasonableness of the calculated fair values of its reporting units, the Company also compares the sum of the reporting units' fair values to its market capitalization and calculates an implied control premium (the excess of the sum of the reporting units' fair values over the market capitalization). The Company evaluates the control premium by comparing it to control premiums of recent comparable market transactions. Finite-lived assets such as customer relationships, patents, and non-compete agreements are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years. The Company reviews the carrying values of these assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable based on undiscounted estimated cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. The Company continually evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets to be held and used for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, based on undiscounted estimated cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. The factors considered by the Company in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and other economic factors. In assessing the recoverability of the carrying value of a long-lived asset, the Company must make assumptions regarding future cash flows and other factors. If these estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record an impairment loss for these assets. Environmental Expenditures The Company records a loss and establishes a reserve for environmental remediation liabilities when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability exists and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Reasonable estimates involve judgments made by management after considering a broad range of information including notifications, demands or settlements that have been received from a regulatory authority or private party, estimates performed by independent engineering companies and outside counsel, available facts existing and proposed technology, the identification of other potentially responsible parties, their ability to contribute and prior experience. These judgments are reviewed quarterly as more information is received and the amounts reserved are updated as necessary. However, the reserves may materially differ from ultimate actual liabilities if the loss contingency is difficult to estimate or if management’s judgments turn out to be inaccurate. If management believes no best estimate exists, the minimum probable loss is accrued. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company utilizes derivative instruments to mitigate volatility related to interest rates, lead prices and foreign currency exposures. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of those instruments are reported in AOCI if they qualify for hedge accounting or in earnings if they do not qualify for hedge accounting. Derivatives qualify for hedge accounting if they are designated as hedge instruments and if the hedge is highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the asset or liability hedged. Effectiveness is measured on a regular basis using statistical analysis and by comparing the overall changes in the expected cash flows on the lead and foreign currency forward contracts with the changes in the expected all-in cash outflow required for the lead and foreign currency purchases. This analysis is performed on the initial purchases quarterly that cover the quantities hedged. Accordingly, gains and losses from changes in derivative fair value of effective hedges are deferred and reported in AOCI until the underlying transaction affects earnings. The Company has commodity, foreign exchange and interest rate hedging authorization from the Board of Directors and has established a hedging and risk management program that includes the management of market and counterparty risk. Key risk control activities designed to ensure compliance with the risk management program include, but are not limited to, credit review and approval, validation of transactions and market prices, verification of risk and transaction limits, portfolio stress tests, sensitivity analyses and frequent portfolio reporting, including open positions, determinations of fair value and other risk management metrics. Market risk is the potential loss the Company and its subsidiaries may incur as a result of price changes associated with a particular financial or commodity instrument. The Company utilizes forward contracts, options, and swaps as part of its risk management strategies, to minimize unanticipated fluctuations in earnings caused by changes in commodity prices, interest rates and/or foreign currency exchange rates. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value, unless they qualify for the Normal Purchase Normal Sale exemption. Credit risk is the potential loss the Company may incur due to the counterparty’s non-performance. The Company is exposed to credit risk from interest rate, foreign currency and commodity derivatives with financial institutions. The Company has credit policies to manage their credit risk, including the use of an established credit approval process, monitoring of the counterparty positions and the use of master netting agreements. The Company has elected to offset net derivative positions under master netting arrangements. The Company does not have any positions involving cash collateral (payables or receivables) under a master netting arrangement as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 . The Company does not have any credit-related contingent features associated with its derivative instruments. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company uses the following valuation techniques to measure fair value for its financial assets and financial liabilities: Level 1 Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The Company and its subsidiaries use, as appropriate, a market approach (generally, data from market transactions), an income approach (generally, present value techniques and option-pricing models), and/or a cost approach (generally, replacement cost) to measure the fair value of an asset or liability. These valuation approaches incorporate inputs such as observable, independent market data and/or unobservable data that management believes are predicated on the assumptions market participants would use to price an asset or liability. These inputs may incorporate, as applicable, certain risks such as nonperformance risk, which includes credit risk. Lead contracts, foreign currency contracts and interest rate contracts generally use an income approach to measure the fair value of these contracts, utilizing readily observable inputs, such as forward interest rates (e.g., London Interbank Offered Rate—“LIBOR”) and forward foreign currency exchange rates (e.g., GBP and euro) and commodity prices (e.g., London Metals Exchange), as well as inputs that may not be observable, such as credit valuation adjustments. When observable inputs are used to measure all or most of the value of a contract, the contract is classified as Level 2. Over-the-counter (OTC) contracts are valued using quotes obtained from an exchange, binding and non-binding broker quotes. Furthermore, the Company obtains independent quotes from the market to validate the forward price curves. OTC contracts include forwards, swaps and options. To the extent possible, fair value measurements utilize various inputs that include quoted prices for similar contracts or market-corroborated inputs. When unobservable inputs are significant to the fair value measurement, the asset or liability is classified as Level 3. Additionally, Level 2 fair value measurements include adjustments for credit risk based on the Company’s own creditworthiness (for net liabilities) and its counterparties’ creditworthiness (for net assets). The Company assumes that observable market prices include sufficient adjustments for liquidity and modeling risks. The Company did not have any contracts that transferred between Level 2 and Level 3 as well as Level 1 and Level 2. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach, which requires deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates to measure the effect of temporary differences between book and tax bases on recorded assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be recognized. The need to establish valuation allowances against deferred tax assets is assessed quarterly. The primary factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are forecasts of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. The Company has not recorded United States income or foreign withholding taxes related to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because the Company currently plans to keep these amounts indefinitely invested overseas. The Company recognizes tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in its Consolidated Statement of Income. With respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company evaluates tax positions to determine whether the benefits of tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company recognizes the largest amount of the benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. For tax positions that are not more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company does not recognize any portion of the benefit. If the more likely than not threshold is not met in the period for which a tax position is taken, the Company may subsequently recognize the benefit of that tax position if the tax matter is effectively settled, the statute of limitations expires, or if the more likely than not threshold is met in a subsequent period. Deferred Financing Fees Debt issuance costs that are incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance of debt are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the life of the underlying indebtedness, adjusted to reflect any early repayments. Stock-Based Compensation Plans The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award, with such cost recognized over the applicable vesting period. Market condition-based awards The Company grants two types of market condition-based awards - market share units and performance market share units. The fair value of the market share units is estimated at the date of grant using a binomial lattice model with the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, time to maturity and expected volatility. These units vest and are settled in common stock on the third anniversary of the date of grant. Market share units are converted into between zero and two shares of common stock for each unit granted at the end of a three-year performance cycle. The conversion ratio is calculated by dividing the average closing share price of the Company’s common stock during the ninety calendar days immediately preceding the vesting date by the average closing share price of the Company’s common stock during the ninety calendar days immediately preceding the grant date, with the resulting quotient capped at two . This quotient is then multiplied by the number of market share units granted to yield the number of shares of common stock to be delivered on the vesting date. The fair value of the performance market share units is estimated at the date of grant using a Monte Carlo Simulation. A participant may earn based on the total shareholder return (the "TSR") of the Company's common stock over a three-year period ranging from 0% to 200% of the number of performance market share units granted. The awards will cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. The TSR is calculated by dividing the sixty or ninety calendar day average price at end of the period (as applicable) and the reinvested dividends thereon by such sixty or ninety calendar day average price at start of the period. The maximum number of awards earned is capped at 200% of the target award. Additionally, no payout will be awarded in the event that the TSR at the vesting date reflects less than a 25% return from the average price at the grant date. Performance market share units are similar to the market share units except that the targets are more difficult to achieve and may be tied to TSR as compared to a peer group. The Company recognizes compensation expense using the straight-line method over the life of the market share units and performance market share units except for those issued to certain retirement-eligible participants, which are expensed on an accelerated basis. Restricted Stock Units The fair value of restricted stock units is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. These awards generally vest, and are settled in common stock, at 25% per year, over a four -year period from the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense using the straight-line method over the life of the restricted stock units. Stock Options The fair value of the options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing assumptions based on historical data and current market data. The assumptions include expected term of the options, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, and dividend yield. The expected term represents the expected amount of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, based on historical and forecasted exercise behavior. The risk-free rate is based on the rate at the grant date of zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Notes with a term equal to the expected term of the option. Expected volatility is estimated using historical volatility rates based on historical weekly price changes over a term equal to the expected term of the options. The Company’s dividend yield is based on historical data. The Company recognizes compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period of the options except for those issued to certain retirement-eligible participants, which are expensed on an accelerated basis. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net earnings attributable to EnerSys stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. At March 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company had outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, market share units and performance market share units, which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. The Convertible Notes, prior to their extinguishment on July 17, 2015, had a dilutive impact on the EPS for the fiscal years of 2016, 2015 and 2014. Segment Reporting A segment for reporting purposes is based on the financial performance measures that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to assess segment performance and to make decisions about a public entity’s allocation of resources. Based on this guidance, the Company reports its segment results based upon the three geographical regions of operations. • Americas , 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. New Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” providing guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB voted to delay the effective date for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permissible one year earlier. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method upon adoption. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this newly issued guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” The update simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of debt liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update and amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. For public companies, this update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and is to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption of this revised guidance is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company has elected to early adopt the revised guidance and as such debt issuance costs are now presented as a direct reduction of long-term debt on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, as further reflected in Note 8. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-011, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330).” This update requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. This update will be effective for the Company for all annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. This update will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (Topic 805).” The amendments in this update require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments in this update require that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of the adoption of this newly issued guidance on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (Topic 740).” This update simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes, by requiring that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as non-current in a classified statement of financial position. The current requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets of a tax-paying component of an entity be offset and presented as a single amount is not affected by the amendments in this update. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company early adopted ASU 2015-17 on a retrospective basis, and deferred taxes previously classified as components of current assets and current liabilities were reclassified to non-current assets and non-current liabilities, respectively, as of March 31, 2015 (see Note 13). In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 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 |

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company conducted step one of the annual goodwill impairment test which indicated that the fair values of three of its reporting units - Purcell and Quallion/ABSL US in the Americas and it's South Africa joint venture in the EMEA operating segment - were less than their respective carrying values, requiring the Company to perform step two of the goodwill impairment analysis. Based on the aforementioned analysis, the implied fair value of goodwill was lower than the carrying value of the goodwill for the Purcell and Quallion/ABSL US reporting units in the Americas operating segment and the South Africa joint venture in the EMEA operating segment. The Company recorded a non-cash charge of $31,411 related to goodwill impairment in the Americas and EMEA operating segment, $3,420 related to impairment of indefinite-lived trademarks in the Americas and $1,421 related to impairment of fixed assets in the EMEA operating segment for an aggregate charge of $36,252 under the caption "Impairment of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles and fixed assets" in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The key factors contributing to the impairments in both fiscal years were that the reporting units in the Americas were recent acquisitions that have not performed to management's expectations. In the case of Purcell, the impairment was the result of lower estimated projected revenue and profitability in the near term caused by reduced levels of capital spending by major customers in the telecommunications industry. In the case of Quallion/ABSL US, the impairment was the result of lower estimated projected revenue and profitability in the near term caused by delays, both in introducing new products and in programs serving the aerospace and defense markets. In the case of the South Africa joint venture, declining business conditions in South Africa resulted in negative cash flows. In fiscal 2015 , as a result of failing step one of the annual goodwill impairment test, the Company performed step two of the goodwill impairment analysis and thereby recorded a non-cash charge of $20,371 related to goodwill impairment in the Americas and EMEA operating segments and $3,575 related to impairment of indefinite-lived trademarks in the Americas. In fiscal 2014, the Company determined that the fair value of its subsidiary in India, which was acquired in fiscal 2012, was less than its carrying amount based on the Company's analysis of the estimated future expected cash flows the Company anticipated from the operations of this subsidiary. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $5,179 for goodwill impairment relating to this subsidiary. The Company estimated tax-deductible goodwill to be approximately $20,766 and $24,446 as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. |

This change in accounting principle was implemented retrospectively as of March 31, 2015. Debt issuance costs that are incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance of debt are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the contractual term of the underlying indebtedness. The Company has reclassified debt issuance costs as a direct reduction to the related debt obligation on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2015 . 5.00% Senior Notes On April 23, 2015, the Company issued $300,000 in aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”). The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum accruing from April 23, 2015. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on April 30 and October 30 of each year, commencing on October 30, 2015. The Notes will mature on April 30, 2023, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased in full. The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”), jointly and severally, by each of its subsidiaries that are guarantors under the 2011 Credit Facility (the "Guarantors"). The Guarantees are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantors. The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were used primarily to repay and retire in full the principal amount of the Company’s senior 3.375% convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”), as discussed below, as well as, fund the accelerated share repurchase program discussed in Note 15. 2011 Senior Secured Credit Facility The Company is party to a $350,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (as amended, the "2011 Credit Facility"), as well as, an Incremental Commitment Agreement pursuant to which certain banks agreed to provide incremental term loan commitments of $150,000 and incremental revolving commitments of $150,000 . Pursuant to these changes, the 2011 Credit Facility is now comprised of a $500,000 senior secured revolving credit facility and a $150,000 senior secured incremental term loan (the "Term Loan") that matures on September 30, 2018. The Term Loan is payable in quarterly installments of $1,875 beginning June 30, 2015 and $3,750 beginning June 30, 2016 with a final payment of $108,750 on September 30, 2018. The 2011 Credit Facility may be increased by an aggregate amount of $300,000 in revolving commitments and/or one or more new tranches of term loans, under certain conditions. Both revolving loans and the Term Loan under the 2011 Credit Facility will bear interest, at the Company's option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus between 1.25% and 1.75% (currently 1.25% and based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio) or (ii) the Base Rate (which is the highest of (a) the Bank of America prime rate, and (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate) plus between 0.25% and 0.75% (based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio). Obligations under the 2011 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 credit facility, and 65% of the capital stock of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are owned by the Company’s United States companies. There are no prepayment penalties on loans under the 2011 Credit Facility. The Company had $170,000 revolver borrowings and $142,500 Term Loan borrowings outstanding under its 2011 Credit Facility as of March 31, 2016 . The current portion of the Term Loan of $15,000 is classified as long-term debt as the Company expects to refinance the quarterly payments with revolver borrowings under its 2011 Credit Facility. Senior Unsecured 3.375% Convertible Notes The Company's 3.375% Convertible Notes, with an original face value of $172,500 , were issued when the Company’s stock price was trading at $30.19 per share. On March 31, 2015 , the Company’s stock price closed at $64.24 per share. On May 7, 2015, the Company filed a notice of redemption for all of the Convertible Notes with a redemption date of June 8, 2015 at a price equal to $1,000.66 per $1,000 original principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equal to 100% of the accreted principal amount of the Convertible Notes being repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest. Holders were permitted to convert their Convertible Notes at their option on or before June 5, 2015. Ninety-nine percent of the Convertible Notes holders exercised their conversion rights on or before June 5, 2015, pursuant to which, on July 17, 2015, the Company paid $172,388 , in aggregate, towards the principal balance including accreted interest, cash equivalent of fractional shares issued towards conversion premium and settled the conversion premium by issuing, in the aggregate, 1,889,431 shares of the Company's common stock from its treasury shares, thereby resulting in the extinguishment of all of the Convertible Notes as of that date. There was no impact to the income statement from the extinguishment as the fair value of the total settlement consideration transferred and allocated to the liability component approximated the carrying value of the Convertible Notes. The remaining consideration allocated to the equity component resulted in an adjustment to equity of $84,140 . The following represents the principal amount of the liability component, the unamortized discount, and the net carrying amount of our Convertible Notes as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively: March 31, 2016 2015 Principal $ — $ 172,266 Unamortized discount — (1,330 ) Net carrying amount $ — $ 170,936 The amount of interest cost recognized for the amortization of the discount on the liability component of the Convertible Notes was $1,330 , $8,283 and $7,614 , respectively, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . The Company paid $15,176 , $10,088 and $8,490 , net of interest received, for interest during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The Company’s financing agreements contain various covenants, which, absent prepayment in full of the indebtedness and other obligations, or the receipt of waivers, would limit the Company’s ability to conduct certain specified business transactions including incurring debt, mergers, consolidations or similar transactions, buying or selling assets out of the ordinary course of business, engaging in sale and leaseback transactions, paying dividends and certain other actions. The Company is in compliance with all such covenants. Short-Term Debt As of March 31, 2016 and 2015 , the Company had $22,144 and $19,715 , respectively, of short-term borrowings from banks. The weighted-average interest rates on these borrowings were approximately 8% and 10% for fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Letters of Credit As of March 31, 2016 and 2015 , the Company had $2,693 and $3,862 , respectively, of standby letters of credit. Deferred Financing Fees In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company incurred $5,031 in debt issuance costs. Amortization expense, relating to debt issuance costs, included in interest expense was $1,464 , $1,263 , and $1,141 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Debt issuance costs, net of accumulated amortization, totaled $6,279 and $2,712 as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Available Lines of Credit As of March 31, 2016 and 2015 , the Company had available and undrawn, under all its lines of credit, $472,187 and $464,733 , respectively, including $144,112 and $141,533 , respectively, of uncommitted lines of credit as of March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 . |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following tables represent the financial assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 and the basis for that measurement: Total Fair Value Quoted Price in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Lead forward contracts $ (499 ) $ — $ (499 ) $ — Foreign currency forward contracts (988 ) — (988 ) — Total derivatives $ (1,487 ) $ — $ (1,487 ) $ — Total Fair Value Quoted Price in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Lead forward contracts $ (341 ) $ — $ (341 ) $ — Foreign currency forward contracts 4,155 — 4,155 — Total derivatives $ 3,814 $ — $ 3,814 $ — 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 as described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. 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, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate carrying value due to their short maturities. The fair value of the Company’s short-term debt and borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility (as defined in Note 8), 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 Company's 5.00% Senior Notes due 2023, with an original face value of $300,000 , were issued in April 2015. The fair values of these Notes represent the trading values based upon quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2. The Notes were trading at approximately 96% of face value on March 31, 2016 . The Company's 3.375% Convertible Notes, with an original face value of $172,500 , were issued when the Company’s stock price was trading at $30.19 per share. On March 31, 2015 , the Company’s stock price closed at $64.24 per share. On July 17, 2015, the Company paid $172,388 , in aggregate, towards the principal balance including accreted interest, cash equivalent of fractional shares issued towards conversion premium and settled the conversion premium by issuing, in the aggregate, 1,889,431 shares of the Company's common stock from its treasury shares, thereby resulting in the extinguishment of all of the Convertible Notes as of that date. The fair value of the Convertible Notes as of March 31, 2015 , which were trading at 161% as of that date, represented the trading values based upon quoted market prices at and were classified as Level 2. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s derivatives, the Notes and Convertible Notes (as defined in Note 8) at March 31, 2016 and 2015 were as follows: March 31, 2016 March 31, 2015 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Financial assets: Derivatives (1) $ — $ — $ 4,155 $ 4,155 Financial liabilities: Notes (2) 300,000 288,000 — — Convertible Notes (2) (3) — — 170,936 277,348 Derivatives (1) $ 1,487 $ 1,487 $ 341 $ 341 (1) Represents lead and foreign currency forward contracts (see Note 12 for asset and liability positions of the lead and foreign currency forward contracts at March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 ). (2) The fair value amount of the Notes at March 31, 2016 and the Convertible Notes at March 31, 2015 represents the trading value of the instruments. (3) The carrying amount of the Convertible Notes at March 31, 2015 represents the $172,266 principal balance, less the unamortized debt discount (see Note 8 for further details). Non-recurring fair value measurements The valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets is based on information and assumptions available to the Company at the time of acquisition, using income and market approaches to determine fair value. The Company tests goodwill and other intangible assets annually for impairment, or when indications of potential impairment exist (see Note 1). Goodwill is tested for impairment by determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting units. The unobservable inputs used to measure the fair value of the reporting units include projected growth rates, profitability, and the risk factor premium added to the discount rate. The remeasurement of goodwill is classified as a Level 3 fair value assessment due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company-specific information. The inputs used to measure the fair value of other intangible assets were largely unobservable and accordingly were also classified as Level 3. The fair value of trademarks, is based on the royalties saved that would have been paid to a third party had the Company not owned the trademark. For fiscal 2016 , the Company used royalty rates ranging between 0.5% - 2.5% based on comparable market rates, and used discount rates ranging between 16.0% - 24.0% . For fiscal 2015 , the Company used royalty rates ranging between 1.0% - 2.5% based on comparable market rates, and used discount rates ranging between 19.0% - 23.5% . The fair value of other indefinite-lived intangibles was estimated using the income approach, based on cash flow projections of revenue growth rates, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. In connection with the annual impairment testing conducted as of December 28, 2015 for fiscal 2016 , indefinite-lived trademarks associated with Purcell and Quallion/ABSL US were recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at $10,000 and $990 , respectively, and the remeasurement resulted in an aggregate impairment charge of $3,420 . In connection with the annual impairment testing conducted as of December 29, 2014 for fiscal 2015 , indefinite-lived trademarks associated with Purcell and Quallion/ABSL US were recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at $13,300 and $1,070 , respectively, and the remeasurement resulted in an aggregate impairment charge of $3,575 . These charges are included under the caption "Impairment of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles and fixed assets" in the Consolidated Statements of Income. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Financial Instruments | 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 and the notional amounts at March 31, 2016 and 2015 were 27.4 million pounds and 91.6 million pounds, 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 March 31, 2016 and 2015 , the Company had entered into a total of $18,206 and $75,878 , respectively, of such contracts. In the coming twelve months, the Company anticipates that $601 of net pretax gain 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 Statement 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.

Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income tax expense is composed of the following: Fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 2015 2014 Current: Federal $ 29,082 $ 12,299 $ 41,256 State 4,750 3,044 2,845 Foreign 17,034 20,585 22,627 Total current 50,866 35,928 66,728 Deferred: Federal (3,706 ) 25,113 (18,410 ) State 124 1,771 (4,088 ) Foreign 2,829 5,002 (27,250 ) Total deferred (753 ) 31,886 (49,748 ) Income tax expense $ 50,113 $ 67,814 $ 16,980 Earnings before income taxes consists of the following: Fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 2015 2014 United States $ 64,235 $ 76,327 $ 47,753 Foreign 117,702 173,012 115,994 Earnings before income taxes $ 181,937 $ 249,339 $ 163,747 Income taxes paid by the Company for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 were $44,625 , $42,404 and $76,644 , respectively. The following table sets forth the tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities: March 31, 2016 2015 Deferred tax assets: Accounts receivable $ 1,450 $ 907 Inventories 6,596 5,855 Net operating loss carryforwards 50,094 46,069 Accrued expenses 25,436 28,830 Other assets 22,551 21,279 Gross deferred tax assets 106,127 102,940 Less valuation allowance (25,416 ) (20,063 ) Total deferred tax assets 80,711 82,877 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment 25,302 23,851 Other intangible assets 65,879 65,432 Convertible Notes — 30,012 Other liabilities 2,008 4,267 Total deferred tax liabilities 93,189 123,562 Net deferred tax liabilities $ (12,478 ) $ (40,685 ) As described in Note 1, the Company early adopted ASU 2015-17 on a retrospective basis effective March 31, 2016. As a result, the Company reclassified $31,749 and $1,583 of deferred tax assets and liabilities, respectively, from current deferred taxes resulting in non-current net deferred tax assets and liabilities of $36,516 and $77,201 , respectively in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2015. The Company has approximately $1,977 in United States federal net operating loss carryforwards, all of which are limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, with expirations between 2023 and 2027. The Company has approximately $159,088 of foreign net operating loss carryforwards, of which $120,353 may be carried forward indefinitely and $38,735 expire between 2019 and 2024. In addition, the Company also had approximately $38,142 of state net operating loss carryforwards with expirations between 2017 and 2036. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015 , the federal valuation allowance was $1,050 . As of March 31, 2016 and 2015 , the valuation allowance associated with the state tax jurisdictions was $656 and $608 , respectively. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015 , the valuation allowance associated with certain foreign tax jurisdictions was $23,710 and $18,404 , respectively. The change includes an increase of $6,262 to tax expense primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards generated in the current year that the Company believes are not more likely than not to be realized, and a decrease of $956 primarily related to currency fluctuations. A reconciliation of income taxes at the statutory rate to the income tax provision is as follows: Fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 2015 2014 United States statutory income tax expense (at 35%) $ 63,678 $ 87,269 $ 57,311 Increase (decrease) resulting from: State income taxes, net of federal effect 3,282 3,206 (647 ) Nondeductible expenses, domestic manufacturing deduction and other (3,796 ) 8,666 5,124 Goodwill impairment 6,475 5,194 1,760 Effect of foreign operations (25,788 ) (38,313 ) (26,037 ) Valuation allowance 6,262 1,792 (20,531 ) Income tax expense $ 50,113 $ 67,814 $ 16,980 The effective income tax rates for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 were 27.5% , 27.2% and 10.4% , respectively. The 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 and the amount of our consolidated income before taxes. The fiscal 2016 foreign effective income tax rate on foreign pre-tax income of $117,702 was 16.9% . The fiscal 2015 foreign effective income tax rate on foreign pre-tax income of $173,012 was 14.8% . The fiscal 2014 foreign effective income tax rate on foreign pre-tax income of $115,994 was (4.0)% . Income from the Company's Swiss subsidiary comprised a substantial portion of our overall foreign mix of income for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 and is taxed at approximately 7% . At March 31, 2016 , the Company has not recorded United States income or foreign withholding taxes on approximately $878,225 of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that could be subject to taxation if remitted to the United States because the Company currently plans to keep these amounts indefinitely invested overseas. It is not practical to calculate the income tax expense that would result upon repatriation of these earnings. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: March 31, 2013 $ 16,485 Increases related to current year tax positions 207 Increases related to prior year tax positions 2,877 Decreases related to prior tax positions due to foreign currency translation (68 ) Decreases related to prior year tax positions (14,835 ) Lapse of statute of limitations (923 ) March 31, 2014 3,743 Increases related to current year tax positions 3,241 Increases related to prior year tax positions 9 Decreases related to prior tax positions due to foreign currency translation (85 ) Decreases related to prior year tax positions settled (2,695 ) Lapse of statute of limitations (101 ) March 31, 2015 4,112 Increases related to current year tax positions 422 Increases related to prior year tax positions 470 Decreases related to prior tax positions due to foreign currency translation — Decreases related to prior year tax positions (2,315 ) Lapse of statute of limitations (314 ) March 31, 2016 $ 2,375 All of the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2016 , if recognized, would be included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and have a favorable impact on both the Company’s net earnings and effective tax rate. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2013. While the net effect on total unrecognized tax benefits cannot be reasonably estimated, approximately $178 is expected to reverse in fiscal 2017 due to expiration of various statute of limitations. The Company recognizes tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in its Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015 , the Company had an accrual of $310 and $170 , respectively, for interest and penalties. |

ended March 31, Fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 2015 2014 2016 2015 2014 Discount rate 3.8 % 4.5 % 4.0 % 1.25-3.4% 3.0-4.6% 2.5-4.4% Expected return on plan assets 7.0 7.8 7.8 3.2-6.5 4.4-7.0 4.0-7.0 Rate of compensation increase N/A N/A N/A 1.5-3.75 2.0-4.0 2.0-4.0 Significant assumptions used to determine the projected benefit obligations for the U.S. and International plans were as follows: United States Plans International Plans March 31, March 31, 2016 2015 2016 2015 Discount rate 3.9 % 3.8 % 1.8-3.7% 1.25-3.4% Expected return on plan assets 7.0 7.0 3.3-6.5 3.2-6.5 Rate of compensation increase N/A N/A 1.5-4.0 1.5-3.75 N/A = not applicable The United States plans do not include compensation in the formula for determining the pension benefit as it is based solely on years of service. The expected long-term rate of return for the Company’s pension plan assets is based upon the target asset allocation and is determined using forward looking assumptions in the context of historical returns and volatilities for each asset class, as well as, correlations among asset classes. The Company evaluates the rate of return assumptions for each of its plans on an annual basis. Pension Plan Investment Strategy The Company’s investment policy emphasizes a balanced approach to investing in securities of high quality and ready marketability. Investment flexibility is encouraged so as not to exclude opportunities available through a diversified investment strategy. Equity investments are maintained within a target range of 40% - 75% of the total portfolio market value for the U.S. plans and with a target of approximately 65% for international plans. Investments in debt securities include issues of various maturities, and the average quality rating of bonds should be investment grade with a minimum quality rating of “B” at the time of purchase. The Company periodically reviews the asset allocation of its portfolio. The proportion committed to equities, debt securities and cash and cash equivalents is a function of the values available in each category and risk considerations. The plan’s overall return will be compared to and expected to meet or exceed established benchmark funds and returns over a three to five year period. The objectives of the Company’s investment strategies are: (a) the achievement of a reasonable long-term rate of total return consistent with an emphasis on preservation of capital and purchasing power, (b) stability of annual returns through a portfolio risk level, which is appropriate to conservative accounts, and (c) reflective of the Company’s willingness to forgo significantly above-average rewards in order to minimize above-average risks. These objectives may not be met each year but should be attained over a reasonable period of time. The following table represents our pension plan investments measured at fair value as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 and the basis for that measurement: March 31, 2016 United States Plans International Plans Total Fair Value Measurement Quoted Price In Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total Fair Value Measurement Quoted Price In Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Asset category: Cash and cash equivalents $ 928 $ 928 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Equity securities US (a) 7,324 7,324 — — — — — — International (b) 1,015 1,015 — — 21,439 — 21,439 — Fixed income (c) 2,572 2,572 — — 10,875 — 10,875 — Total $ 11,839 $ 11,839 $ — $ — $ 32,314 $ — $ 32,314 $ — March 31, 2015 United States Plans International Plans Total Fair Value Measurement Quoted Price In Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Total Fair Value Measurement Quoted Price In Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Asset category: Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,248 $ 1,248 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Equity securities US (a) 7,282 7,282 — — 3,431 3,431 — — International (b) 1,075 1,075 — — 18,646 18,646 — — Fixed income (c) 2,774 2,774 — — 12,324 12,324 — — Total $ 12,379 $ 12,379 $ — $ — $ 34,401 $ 34,401 $ — $ — The fair values presented above were determined based on valuation techniques to measure fair value as discussed in Note 1. (a) US equities include companies that are well diversified by industry sector and equity style (i.e., growth and value strategies). Active and passive management strategies are employed. Investments are primarily in large capitalization stocks and, to a lesser extent, mid- and small-cap stocks. (b) International equities are invested in companies that are traded on exchanges outside the U.S. and are well diversified by industry sector, country and equity style. Active and passive strategies are employed. The vast majority of the investments are made in companies in developed markets with a small percentage in emerging markets. (c) Fixed income consists primarily of investment grade bonds from diversified industries. The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $2,145 to its pension plans in fiscal 2017. Estimated future benefit payments under the Company’s pension plans are as follows: Pension Benefits 2017 $ 2,703 2018 2,481 2019 2,751 2020 3,157 2021 3,526 Years 2022-2026 21,036 Defined Contribution Plan The Company maintains defined contribution plans primarily in the U.S. and U.K. Eligible employees can contribute a portion of their pre-tax and/or after-tax income in accordance with plan guidelines and the Company will make contributions based on the employees’ eligible pay and/or will match a percentage of the employee contributions up to certain limits. Matching contributions charged to expense for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 were $6,730 , $7,174 and $6,311 , respectively. |

Stockholders' Equity and Noncontrolling Interests | Stockholders’ Equity and Noncontrolling Interests Preferred Stock and Common Stock The Company’s certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”). At March 31, 2016 and 2015 , no shares of Preferred Stock were issued or outstanding. The Board of Directors of the Company has the authority to specify the terms of any Preferred Stock at the time of issuance. The following demonstrates the change in the number of shares of common stock outstanding during fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 , 2015 and 2016 , respectively: Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2013 47,840,204 Purchase of treasury stock (1,191,145 ) Shares issued as part of equity-based compensation plans, net of equity awards surrendered for option price and taxes 293,067 Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2014 46,942,126 Purchase of treasury stock (3,274,829 ) Shares issued as part of equity-based compensation plans, net of equity awards surrendered for option price and taxes 401,291 Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2015 44,068,588 Purchase of treasury stock (3,216,654 ) Shares issued from treasury stock to settle conversion premium on Convertible Notes 1,889,431 Shares issued as part of equity-based compensation plans, net of equity awards surrendered for option price and taxes 448,137 Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2016 43,189,502 Treasury Stock In fiscal 2016 and 2015 , the Company purchased 3,216,654 shares of its common stock for $178,244 and 3,274,829 shares for $205,362 , respectively. Of the shares purchased in fiscal 2016 , 2,961,444 were acquired through an accelerated share repurchase program ("ASR") for a total cash investment of $166,392 at an average price of $56.19 . At March 31, 2016 and 2015 , the Company held 10,923,274 and 9,596,051 shares as treasury stock, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments, Contingencies and Litigation | Commitments, Contingencies and Litigation Litigation and Other Legal Matters In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are routinely defendants in or parties to many pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. These actions and proceedings are generally based on alleged violations of environmental, anti-competition, employment, contract and other laws. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Company and its subsidiaries. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to regulatory and governmental examinations, information gathering requests, inquiries, investigations, and threatened legal actions and proceedings. In connection with formal and informal inquiries by federal, state, local and foreign agencies, such subsidiaries receive numerous requests, subpoenas and orders for documents, testimony and information in connection with various aspects of their activities. European Competition Investigations Certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries have received subpoenas and requests for documents and, in some cases, interviews from, and have had on-site inspections conducted by the competition authorities of Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands relating to conduct and anticompetitive practices of certain industrial battery participants. The Company is responding to inquiries related to these matters. The Company settled the Belgian regulatory proceeding in February 2016 by acknowledging certain anticompetitive practices and conduct and agreeing to pay a fine of $1,962, which was paid in March 2016 and as of March 31, 2016 , the Company had a reserve balance of $2,038 in connection with these remaining investigations and other related legal charges. For the Dutch and German regulatory proceedings, the Company does not believe that such an estimate can be made at this time given the early stages of these proceedings. The foregoing estimate of losses is based upon currently available information for these proceedings. However, the precise scope, timing and time period at issue, as well as the final outcome of the investigations, remains uncertain. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate may change from time to time, and actual losses could vary. Altergy In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded a $58,184 legal proceedings charge in connection with an adverse arbitration result involving disputes between the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, EnerSys Delaware Inc. (“EDI”), and Altergy Systems (“Altergy”). In accordance with the final term sheet, EDI paid Altergy $40,000 in settlement of this award. Altergy paid $2,000 to purchase EDI’s entire equity interest in Altergy. Since the full amount of the initial award of $58,184 was recorded in fiscal 2014, the Company reversed approximately $16,233 , net of professional fees, from this previously recorded legal proceedings charge in fiscal 2015 and $799 in fiscal 2016. The Company also included the $2,000 received in exchange for its equity interest in Altergy in the Consolidated Statements of Income in Other (income) expense, net in fiscal 2015. The Company had previously written off the carrying value of the investment of $5,000 in fiscal 2014. Environmental Issues As a result of its operations, the Company is subject to various federal, state and local, as well as international environmental laws and regulations and is exposed to the costs and risks of registering, handling, processing, storing, transporting, and disposing of hazardous substances, especially lead and acid. The Company’s operations are also subject to federal, state, local and international occupational safety and health regulations, including laws and regulations relating to exposure to lead in the workplace. The Company is responsible for certain cleanup obligations at the former Yuasa battery facility in Sumter, South Carolina that predates its ownership of this facility. This manufacturing facility was closed in 2001 and is separate from the Company’s current metal fabrication facility in Sumter. The Company has established a reserve for this facility. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015 , the reserves related to this facility were $1,123 and $2,902 , respectively. Based on current information, the Company’s management believes these reserves are adequate to satisfy the Company’s environmental liabilities at this facility. Collective Bargaining At March 31, 2015, the Company had approximately 9,400 employees. Of these employees, approximately 29% were covered by collective bargaining agreements. Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements that did not exceed twelve months were approximately 7% of the total workforce. The average term of these agreements is two years, with the longest term being three years. The Company considers its employee relations to be good and did not experience any significant labor unrest or disruption of production during fiscal 2016. Lead Contracts To stabilize its costs, the Company has entered into contracts with financial institutions to fix the price of lead. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. Under these contracts, at March 31, 2016 and 2015 , the Company has hedged the price to purchase approximately 27.4 million pounds and 91.6 million pounds of lead, respectively, for a total purchase price of $21,628 and $76,143 , respectively. Foreign Currency Forward Contracts The Company quantifies and monitors its global foreign currency exposures. On a selective basis, the Company will enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to reduce the volatility from currency movements that affect the Company. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. The Company’s largest exposure is from the purchase and conversion of U.S. dollar based lead costs into local currencies in EMEA. Additionally, the Company has currency exposures from intercompany financing and intercompany and third-party trade transactions. To hedge these exposures, the Company has entered into a total of $29,362 and $102,124 , respectively, of foreign currency forward contracts with financial institutions as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Other The Company has various purchase and capital commitments incident to the ordinary conduct of business. In the aggregate, such commitments are not at prices in excess of current market. |

Summary of Significant Accoun34
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Mar. 31, 2016 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Description of Business | Description of Business EnerSys (the “Company”) and its predecessor companies have been manufacturers of industrial batteries for over 125 years. EnerSys is a global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications. The Company manufactures, markets and distributes industrial batteries and related products such as chargers, outdoor cabinet enclosures, power equipment and battery accessories, and provides related after-market and customer-support services for industrial batteries. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated 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. Control generally equates to ownership percentage, whereby investments that are more than 50% owned are generally consolidated, investments in affiliates of 50% or less but greater than 20% are generally accounted for using the equity method, and investments in affiliates of 20% or less are accounted for using the cost method. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company also consolidates certain subsidiaries in which the noncontrolling interest party has within its control the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of its interest in the subsidiary. The redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported at their estimated redemption value, and the amount presented in temporary equity is not less than the initial amount reported in temporary equity. Any adjustment to the redemption value impacts retained earnings but does not impact net income or comprehensive income. Noncontrolling interests which are redeemable only upon future events, the occurrence of which is not currently probable, are recorded at carrying value. |
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation Results of foreign operations of subsidiaries, whose functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the periods. The assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates as of the balance sheet dates. Gains or losses resulting from translating the foreign currency financial statements are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in EnerSys’ stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests. Transaction gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the applicable subsidiary are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income, within “Other (income) expense, net”, in the year in which the change occurs. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete. This occurs when risk and title transfers, collectibility is reasonably assured and pricing is fixed or determinable. Shipment terms are either shipping point or destination and do not differ significantly between the Company’s business segments. Accordingly, revenue is recognized when risk and title are transferred to the customer. Amounts invoiced to customers for shipping and handling are classified as revenue. Taxes on revenue producing transactions are not included in net sales. The Company recognizes revenue from the service of its products when the respective services are performed. Accruals are made at the time of sale for sales returns and other allowances based on the Company’s historical experience. |
Freight Expense | Freight Expense Amounts billed to customers for outbound freight costs are classified as sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Costs incurred by the Company for outbound freight costs to customers, inbound and transfer freight are classified in cost of goods sold. |
Warranties | Warranties The Company’s products are warranted for a period ranging from one to twenty years for reserve power batteries and for a period ranging from one to seven years for motive power batteries. The Company provides for estimated product warranty expenses when the related products are sold. The assessment of the adequacy of the reserve includes a review of open claims and historical experience. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that subject the Company to potential concentration of credit risk consist principally of short-term cash investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company invests its cash with various financial institutions and in various investment instruments limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution or entity. The Company has bank deposits that exceed federally insured limits. In addition, certain cash investments may be made in U.S. and foreign government bonds, or other highly rated investments guaranteed by the U.S. or foreign governments. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited by a large, diversified customer base and its geographic dispersion. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and requires collateral, such as letters of credit, in certain circumstances. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. The allowance is based on management’s estimate of uncollectible accounts, analysis of historical data and trends, as well as reviews of all relevant factors concerning the financial capability of its customers. Accounts receivable are considered to be past due based on how payments are received compared to the customer’s credit terms. Accounts are written off when management determines the account is uncollectible. |
Inventories | Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of inventory consists of material, labor, and associated overhead. |
Property, Plant, and Equipment | Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost and include expenditures that substantially increase the useful lives of the assets. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: 10 to 33 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Interest on capital projects is capitalized during the construction period. |
Business Combinations | Business Combinations The purchase price of an acquired company is allocated between tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquired business based on their estimated fair values, with the residual of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of the acquired business are included in the Company’s operating results from the date of acquisition. |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill and indefinite-lived trademarks are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that a possible impairment may have been incurred. Goodwill is tested for impairment by determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting units. These estimated fair values are based on financial projections, certain cash flow measures, and market capitalization. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. In the first step, the Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the Company must perform the second step of the impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. In the second step, the reporting unit's fair value is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that calculates the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss. The indefinite-lived trademarks are tested for impairment by comparing the carrying value to the fair value based on current revenue projections of the related operations, under the relief from royalty method. Any excess carrying value over the amount of fair value is recognized as impairment. Any impairment would be recognized in full in the reporting period in which it has been identified. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using a weighting of fair values derived from both the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, the Company calculates the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate used is based on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the business's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. The market approach estimates fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable publicly-traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit. The weighting of the fair value derived from the market approach ranges from 0% to 50% depending on the level of comparability of these publicly-traded companies to the reporting unit. In order to assess the reasonableness of the calculated fair values of its reporting units, the Company also compares the sum of the reporting units' fair values to its market capitalization and calculates an implied control premium (the excess of the sum of the reporting units' fair values over the market capitalization). The Company evaluates the control premium by comparing it to control premiums of recent comparable market transactions. Finite-lived assets such as customer relationships, patents, and non-compete agreements are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years. The Company reviews the carrying values of these assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable based on undiscounted estimated cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. The Company continually evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets to be held and used for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, based on undiscounted estimated cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. The factors considered by the Company in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and other economic factors. In assessing the recoverability of the carrying value of a long-lived asset, the Company must make assumptions regarding future cash flows and other factors. If these estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record an impairment loss for these assets. |
Environmental Expenditures | Environmental Expenditures The Company records a loss and establishes a reserve for environmental remediation liabilities when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability exists and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Reasonable estimates involve judgments made by management after considering a broad range of information including notifications, demands or settlements that have been received from a regulatory authority or private party, estimates performed by independent engineering companies and outside counsel, available facts existing and proposed technology, the identification of other potentially responsible parties, their ability to contribute and prior experience. These judgments are reviewed quarterly as more information is received and the amounts reserved are updated as necessary. However, the reserves may materially differ from ultimate actual liabilities if the loss contingency is difficult to estimate or if management’s judgments turn out to be inaccurate. If management believes no best estimate exists, the minimum probable loss is accrued. |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments The Company utilizes derivative instruments to mitigate volatility related to interest rates, lead prices and foreign currency exposures. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of those instruments are reported in AOCI if they qualify for hedge accounting or in earnings if they do not qualify for hedge accounting. Derivatives qualify for hedge accounting if they are designated as hedge instruments and if the hedge is highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the asset or liability hedged. Effectiveness is measured on a regular basis using statistical analysis and by comparing the overall changes in the expected cash flows on the lead and foreign currency forward contracts with the changes in the expected all-in cash outflow required for the lead and foreign currency purchases. This analysis is performed on the initial purchases quarterly that cover the quantities hedged. Accordingly, gains and losses from changes in derivative fair value of effective hedges are deferred and reported in AOCI until the underlying transaction affects earnings. The Company has commodity, foreign exchange and interest rate hedging authorization from the Board of Directors and has established a hedging and risk management program that includes the management of market and counterparty risk. Key risk control activities designed to ensure compliance with the risk management program include, but are not limited to, credit review and approval, validation of transactions and market prices, verification of risk and transaction limits, portfolio stress tests, sensitivity analyses and frequent portfolio reporting, including open positions, determinations of fair value and other risk management metrics. Market risk is the potential loss the Company and its subsidiaries may incur as a result of price changes associated with a particular financial or commodity instrument. The Company utilizes forward contracts, options, and swaps as part of its risk management strategies, to minimize unanticipated fluctuations in earnings caused by changes in commodity prices, interest rates and/or foreign currency exchange rates. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value, unless they qualify for the Normal Purchase Normal Sale exemption. Credit risk is the potential loss the Company may incur due to the counterparty’s non-performance. The Company is exposed to credit risk from interest rate, foreign currency and commodity derivatives with financial institutions. The Company has credit policies to manage their credit risk, including the use of an established credit approval process, monitoring of the counterparty positions and the use of master netting agreements. The Company has elected to offset net derivative positions under master netting arrangements. The Company does not have any positions involving cash collateral (payables or receivables) under a master netting arrangement as of March 31, 2016 and 2015 . The Company does not have any credit-related contingent features associated with its derivative instruments. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company uses the following valuation techniques to measure fair value for its financial assets and financial liabilities: Level 1 Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The Company and its subsidiaries use, as appropriate, a market approach (generally, data from market transactions), an income approach (generally, present value techniques and option-pricing models), and/or a cost approach (generally, replacement cost) to measure the fair value of an asset or liability. These valuation approaches incorporate inputs such as observable, independent market data and/or unobservable data that management believes are predicated on the assumptions market participants would use to price an asset or liability. These inputs may incorporate, as applicable, certain risks such as nonperformance risk, which includes credit risk. Lead contracts, foreign currency contracts and interest rate contracts generally use an income approach to measure the fair value of these contracts, utilizing readily observable inputs, such as forward interest rates (e.g., London Interbank Offered Rate—“LIBOR”) and forward foreign currency exchange rates (e.g., GBP and euro) and commodity prices (e.g., London Metals Exchange), as well as inputs that may not be observable, such as credit valuation adjustments. When observable inputs are used to measure all or most of the value of a contract, the contract is classified as Level 2. Over-the-counter (OTC) contracts are valued using quotes obtained from an exchange, binding and non-binding broker quotes. Furthermore, the Company obtains independent quotes from the market to validate the forward price curves. OTC contracts include forwards, swaps and options. To the extent possible, fair value measurements utilize various inputs that include quoted prices for similar contracts or market-corroborated inputs. When unobservable inputs are significant to the fair value measurement, the asset or liability is classified as Level 3. Additionally, Level 2 fair value measurements include adjustments for credit risk based on the Company’s own creditworthiness (for net liabilities) and its counterparties’ creditworthiness (for net assets). The Company assumes that observable market prices include sufficient adjustments for liquidity and modeling risks. The Company did not have any contracts that transferred between Level 2 and Level 3 as well as Level 1 and Level 2. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach, which requires deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates to measure the effect of temporary differences between book and tax bases on recorded assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be recognized. The need to establish valuation allowances against deferred tax assets is assessed quarterly. The primary factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are forecasts of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. The Company has not recorded United States income or foreign withholding taxes related to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because the Company currently plans to keep these amounts indefinitely invested overseas. The Company recognizes tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in its Consolidated Statement of Income. With respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company evaluates tax positions to determine whether the benefits of tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company recognizes the largest amount of the benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. For tax positions that are not more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company does not recognize any portion of the benefit. If the more likely than not threshold is not met in the period for which a tax position is taken, the Company may subsequently recognize the benefit of that tax position if the tax matter is effectively settled, the statute of limitations expires, or if the more likely than not threshold is met in a subsequent period. |
Deferred Financing Fees | Deferred Financing Fees Debt issuance costs that are incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance of debt are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the life of the underlying indebtedness, adjusted to reflect any early repayments. |
Stock-Based Compensation Plans | Stock-Based Compensation Plans The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award, with such cost recognized over the applicable vesting period. Market condition-based awards The Company grants two types of market condition-based awards - market share units and performance market share units. The fair value of the market share units is estimated at the date of grant using a binomial lattice model with the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, time to maturity and expected volatility. These units vest and are settled in common stock on the third anniversary of the date of grant. Market share units are converted into between zero and two shares of common stock for each unit granted at the end of a three-year performance cycle. The conversion ratio is calculated by dividing the average closing share price of the Company’s common stock during the ninety calendar days immediately preceding the vesting date by the average closing share price of the Company’s common stock during the ninety calendar days immediately preceding the grant date, with the resulting quotient capped at two . This quotient is then multiplied by the number of market share units granted to yield the number of shares of common stock to be delivered on the vesting date. The fair value of the performance market share units is estimated at the date of grant using a Monte Carlo Simulation. A participant may earn based on the total shareholder return (the "TSR") of the Company's common stock over a three-year period ranging from 0% to 200% of the number of performance market share units granted. The awards will cliff vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. The TSR is calculated by dividing the sixty or ninety calendar day average price at end of the period (as applicable) and the reinvested dividends thereon by such sixty or ninety calendar day average price at start of the period. The maximum number of awards earned is capped at 200% of the target award. Additionally, no payout will be awarded in the event that the TSR at the vesting date reflects less than a 25% return from the average price at the grant date. Performance market share units are similar to the market share units except that the targets are more difficult to achieve and may be tied to TSR as compared to a peer group. The Company recognizes compensation expense using the straight-line method over the life of the market share units and performance market share units except for those issued to certain retirement-eligible participants, which are expensed on an accelerated basis. Restricted Stock Units The fair value of restricted stock units is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. These awards generally vest, and are settled in common stock, at 25% per year, over a four -year period from the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense using the straight-line method over the life of the restricted stock units. Stock Options The fair value of the options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing assumptions based on historical data and current market data. The assumptions include expected term of the options, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, and dividend yield. The expected term represents the expected amount of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, based on historical and forecasted exercise behavior. The risk-free rate is based on the rate at the grant date of zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Notes with a term equal to the expected term of the option. Expected volatility is estimated using historical volatility rates based on historical weekly price changes over a term equal to the expected term of the options. The Company’s dividend yield is based on historical data. The Company recognizes compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period of the options |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net earnings attributable to EnerSys stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. At March 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company had outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, market share units and performance market share units, which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. |
