Fourth Fiscal Quarter Financial Highlights (Unaudited)

The following is a summary of key fourth fiscal quarter results. All comparisons are with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 unless otherwise stated.

• Net saleswere $457.2 million, down 1.7%: (a)

• Organic net sales decreased 0.6% primarily due to the lapping of prior year hurricane activity in the U.S. offset by distribution gains, the favorable impact of pricing initiatives and the timing of holiday activity. Excluding the year over year impact of hurricanes, organic sales increased 2.3%;

• The impact of the Nu Finish acquisition resulted in increased sales of $2.3 million, or 0.5%;

• Our Argentina operations, deemed to be highly inflationary, had an unfavorable impact on net sales of $2.0 million, or 0.4%; and

• Unfavorable movement in foreign currencies, excluding Argentina, resulted in decreased sales of $5.2 million, or 1.2%.

• Gross margin percentagewas 45.5%, down 50 basis points from the prior year driven primarily by the unfavorable movement in foreign currencies. (a)

• A&P spending was 7.0% of sales, a decrease of 270 basis points, or $13.2 million. Spending in fiscal 2018 was more normalized throughout the fiscal year, while spending in fiscal 2017 was more heavily weighted in the fourth quarter in support of our portfolio optimization and the launch of our improved Energizer Max offering.

• SG&Aspending, excluding acquisition and integration costs, was approximately $88.1 million, a decrease of $10.6 million over the prior year due to lower compensation and broker commission costs driven by lower sales in the current quarter as well as savings from our continuous improvement initiatives. SG&A, excluding acquisition and integration costs, was 19.3% compared to 21.2%, as a percentage of sales in the prior year. (a) (b)

• Earnings before income taxes was negatively impacted by the movement in foreign currencies by approximately $8.4 million in the fourth fiscal quarter, net of hedge impact. This includes $5.6 million from our Argentina operations.

Fiscal 2018 Full Year Financial Highlights (Unaudited)

The following is a summary of key fiscal 2018 full year results. All comparisons are with fiscal 2017 unless otherwise stated.

• Net saleswere $1,797.7 million, up2.4%: (a)

• Organic net sales increased 1.3% reflecting favorable pricing, distribution gains and benefits from our portfolio optimization, slightly offset by the lapping of prior year hurricane activity in the U.S. Excluding the year over year impact of hurricanes, organic sales increased 2.2%;

• The impact of the Nu Finish acquisition resulted in increased sales of $2.3 million, or 0.1%;

• Our Argentina operations had an unfavorable impact on net sales of $1.9 million, or 0.1%; and

• Favorable movement in foreign currencies, primarily generated in the first half of the fiscal year, had a positive impact on net sales of $19.1 million, or 1.1%.

• Gross margin percentagewas 46.2%, essentially flat to the prior year, as the net favorable currency impact for the fiscal year was fully offset by higher commodity costs. (a)

• A&P spending was 6.3% of sales, a decrease of 30 basis points, or $3.2 million, due to slightly higher investments in the prior year to support our portfolio optimization and the launch of our improved Energizer Max offering.

• SG&Aspending, excluding acquisition and integration costs, was approximately $358.8 million, or 20.0% of net sales as compared to $357.3 million, or 20.4% of net sales in the prior year. The improved percentage comparison versus the prior year reflects the improvedtop-line performance due to organic sales growth, as well as cost savings from our continuous improvement initiatives and focus on managing costs. (a) (b)

• Earnings before income taxes was negatively impacted by the movement in foreign currencies by approximately $5.3 million, net of hedge impact. This was driven largely by a negative $11.1 million full year impact from Argentina.

• Income tax rate on a year to date basis was 46.6%. The current year rate includes a $39.1 million charge for the one-time impact of the new U.S. tax legislation passed in December 2017 as well as the impact of $6.0 million related to tax withholding expense for cash movement to fund the acquisition of Spectrum Brands Holdings’ global battery and portable lighting business (Spectrum acquisition). Excluding the impact of ourNon-GAAP adjustments, the year to date tax rate was 23.1% as compared to 28.4% in the prior year. The decrease in the current year is driven primarily by the lower statutory U.S. rate that is now effective for fiscal year 2018 brought about by the tax legislation passed at the end of the calendar year 2017. (a)

• Diluted EPSwas $1.52and Adjusted Diluted EPS was $3.37. (a)

• Net cash from operating activitieswas $228.7 million andAdjusted Free Cash Flow was $237.8 million. (a)

For presentation purposes, the Company has recast Argentina’s prior period operations as well.

Total Segment Profitin the fourth fiscal quarter increased $14.6 million, or 13.8%. Organic growth of $18.3 million, or 17.3%, was primarily driven by lower A&P and SG&A spending in the quarter slightly offset by lowertop-line growth as a result of the lapping of U.S. hurricane volume in the prior year. Adding to the segment profit increase for the quarter was the favorable impact of our Nu Finish acquisition of $0.9 million, or 0.8%. Our Argentina operations had an unfavorable impact on segment profit of $0.7 million, or 0.7%. In addition, foreign currency impacts were unfavorable by $3.9 million, or 3.6%.

Financial Outlook Assumptions for Fiscal Year 2019

The Company is providing the below assumptions related to its financial outlook for fiscal year 2019 and excludes operational results from the Spectrum acquisition. All comparisons are with the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 unless otherwise stated. The outlook provided below takes into account our lapping of hurricane activity in fiscal 2018 that contributed approximately $8 million of net sales and $0.04 to adjusted earnings per share. Our outlook assumes that activity is not expected to repeat.

Net Sales on a reported basis are expected to be up low single digits:

• Organic net sales are expected to be up low single digits;

• Nu Finish acquisition is expected to contribute 30 to 40 basis points of net sales growth;

• Argentina is expected to be a headwind of 30 basis points due to the high inflation;

• Unfavorable movements in foreign currency, excluding Argentina, are expected to negatively impact net sales by 1.0% to 1.5% based on current rates.

Gross margin rates,excluding acquisition and integration costs, are expected to be down approximately 30 to 70 basis points to the current year; primarily the result of currency headwinds.

A&P spending is expected to be at the lower end of our long term outlook range of 6% to 7% of net sales.

SG&A,as a percent of net sales, excluding acquisition and integration costs, is expected to decline on a year over year basis as we continue to recognize the benefits from our continuous improvement initiatives and is expected to be down 20 to 50 basis points.

Earnings before income taxes is expected to be unfavorably impacted by foreign currency headwinds of roughly $25 to $30 million, net of hedge impacts, based on current rates, including $15 million associated with Argentina, which was deemed highly inflationary as of July 1, 2018.

Ex-unusual income tax rateis expected to be in the range of 23% to 25% based on the current expected country mix of earnings and the new tax law changes.

Adjusted Diluted earnings per share for the full fiscal year is expected to be in the range of $3.40 to $3.50.

Capital spending is expected to be in the range of $30 to $35 million.

Adjusted Free cash flow is expected to be roughly flat reflecting the expected foreign currency headwinds and lapping the benefits of hurricanes and asset sales in fiscal year 2018 that are not expected to repeat.

Dividends,as previously announced, increased 3.5% beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Supplemental Schedules

Introduction to the Reconciliation of GAAP andNon-GAAP Measures

For the Quarter and Twelve Months ended September 30, 2018

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). However, management believes that certainnon-GAAP financial measures provide users with additional meaningful comparisons to the corresponding historical or future period. Thesenon-GAAP financial measures exclude items that are not reflective of the Company’son-going operating performance, such as acquisition and integration costs and related items, settlement loss on pension plan termination, gains on sale of real estate and related to the spin, and theone-time impact of the new U.S. tax legislation. In addition, these measures help investors to analyze year over year comparability when excluding currency fluctuations, acquisition activity as well as other company initiatives that are noton-going. We believe thesenon-GAAP financial measures are an enhancement to assist investors in understanding our business and in performing analysis consistent with financial models developed by research analysts. Investors should considernon-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, thesenon-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies due to possible differences in method and in the items being adjusted.

We provide the followingnon-GAAP measures and calculations, as well as the corresponding reconciliation to the closest GAAP measure in the following supplemental schedules:

Segment Profit.This amount represents the operations of our two reportable segments including allocations for shared support functions. General corporate and other expenses, global marketing expenses, R&D expenses, amortization expense, interest expense, other items, net, and charges related to acquisition and integration, settlement loss on pension plan termination, gains on sale of real estate and thespin-off have all been excluded from segment profit.

Adjusted Earnings Before Taxes, Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted EPS. These measures exclude the impact of the costs related to acquisition and integration, settlement loss on pension plan termination, gains on sale of real estate and thespin-off and theone-time impact of the new U.S. tax legislation.

Ex-unusual Tax Rate. This is the tax rate when excluding thepre-tax impact of acquisition and integration, settlement loss on pension plan termination and gains on sale of real estate and thespin-off, as well as the related tax impact for these items, calculated utilizing the statutory rate for where the costs were incurred, as well as theone-time impact of the new U.S. tax legislation.

Organic.This is thenon-GAAP financial measurement of the change in revenue, segment profit or other margins that excludes or otherwise adjusts for the impact of acquisitions, operations in Argentina, and the impact of currency from the changes in foreign currency exchange rates as defined below:

Impact of acquisition.The Company acquired the Nu Finish business on July 2, 2018. This includes the impact of the Nu Finishon-going operations contributed to each respective income statement caption. This does not include the impact of acquisition and integration costs associated with the Nu Finish acquisition or the anticipated Spectrum acquisition.

Change in Argentina operations.The Company is presenting separately all changes in sales and segment profit from our Argentina affiliate due to the designation of the economy as highly inflationary as of July 1, 2018. For presentation purposes, the Company has recast Argentina’s prior period operations as well.

Impact of currency. The Company evaluates the operating performance of our Company on a currency neutral basis. The impact of currency is the difference between the value of current year foreign operations at the current period ending USD exchange rate, compared to the value of the current year foreign operations at the prior period ending USD exchange rate.

Adjusted Comparisons.Detail for adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, and adjusted SG&A as a percent of sales are also supplementalnon-GAAP measure disclosures. These measures exclude the impact of costs related to acquisition and integration.

Free Cash Flow.Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by capital expenditures, net of the proceeds from asset sales.Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Free Cash Flow excluding the cash payments for acquisition and integration costs. These cash payments are net of the statutory tax benefit associated with the payment.

Non-GAAP Outlook.For our fiscal year 2019 outlook, the Company is unable to provide reconciliation to the full year Adjusted EPS range of $3.40 to $3.50 and Adjusted Free Cash flow of approximately $238 million to comparable GAAP measures due to the uncertainty regarding the timing and amount of future acquisition and integration costs and related cash payments. Given the uncertainty of the exact closing date, we are unable to forecast the amount of acquisition and integration costs that will be incurred in fiscal 2019.

Energizer Holdings, Inc.

Supplemental Schedules - Segment Information and Supplemental Sales Data

For the Quarter and Twelve Months ended September 30, 2018

Operations for Energizer are managed via two major geographic reportable segments: Americas and International. Prior to January 1, 2018, the International segment was reported as two separate geographic reportable segments: Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia Pacific. The Company changed its reporting structure to reflect how the Company is managing the operations as well as what the chief operating decision maker is reviewing to make organizational decisions about resource allocation. The prior period segment information has been recast to reflect the current reportable segment structure of the Company.

Energizer’s operating model includes a combination of standalone and shared business functions between the geographic segments, varying by country and region of the world. Shared functions include IT and finance shared service costs. Energizer applies a fully allocated cost basis, in which shared business functions are allocated between segments. Such allocations are estimates, and do not represent the costs of such services if performed on a standalone basis.
