Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Description of Business – Energizer Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Energizer or the Company) is a global manufacturer, marketer and distributor of household batteries, specialty batteries and portable lights under the Energizer®, Eveready® and Rayovac® brand names globally, as well as the Varta® brand name in Latin America and Asia Pacific. Energizer offers batteries using lithium, alkaline, carbon zinc, nickel metal hydride, zinc air and silver oxide constructions. Energizer is also a leading designer and marketer of auto care products in the appearance, fragrance, performance, and air conditioning recharge product categories under the Armor All®, Nu Finish®, Refresh Your Car!®, LEXOL®, Eagle One®, California Scents®, Driven®, Bahama & Co®, STP® and A/C Pro® brand names. On July 1, 2015, Energizer completed its legal separation from our former parent company, Edgewell Personal Care Company (Edgewell), via a tax free spin-off (the Spin-off or Spin). Energizer operates as an independent, publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange trading under the symbol "ENR." On January 2, 2019, Energizer expanded its battery portfolio with the acquisitions of Spectrum Holdings, Inc.’s (Spectrum) global battery, lighting, and portable power business (Battery Acquisition). The Battery Acquisition included the Rayovac and Varta brands (Acquired Battery Business). On January 28, 2019, Energizer further expanded its auto care portfolio with the acquisition of Spectrum's global auto care business (Auto Care Acquisition). The Auto Care Acquisition included the Armor All, STP, and A/C PRO brands (Acquired Auto Care Business). On January 2, 2020, the Company sold the Varta® consumer battery business in the Europe, Middle East and Africa regions, including manufacturing and distribution facilities in Germany (Divestment Business) to VARTA Aktiengesellschaft (VARTA AG) for a contractual purchase price of €180.0, subject to purchase price adjustments (Varta Divestiture). This business was acquired as part of the Battery Acquisition and was required to be divested per regulatory requirements. Pursuant to the terms of the Battery Acquisition agreement, Spectrum also contributed cash proceeds toward this sale. Total cash proceeds received, including related hedging arrangements, net of the final working capital settlement, were $323.1 and the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $141.6. Refer to Note 5, Divestment, for further discussion. Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Energizer and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated. Energizer has no material equity method investments, variable interests or non-controlling interests. As a result of the Varta Divestiture, the respective operations of the Divestment Business, including a loss recorded on divestment, have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income and Statements of Cash Flows for fiscal years 2020 and 2019. There were no operations for the twelve months ended September 30, 2021 and no assets or liabilities associated with this business as of September 30, 2021 or 2020. See Note 5 - Divestment for more information on the discontinued operations.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Energizer’s significant accounting policies, which conform to GAAP and are applied on a consistent basis in all years presented, except as indicated, are described below. Use of Estimates – The preparation of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, Energizer evaluates its estimates, including those related to customer promotional programs and incentives, product returns, bad debts, the carrying value of inventories, intangible and other long-lived assets, income taxes, pensions and other postretirement benefits, share-based compensation, contingencies and acquisitions. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. In regard to ongoing impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, significant deterioration in future cash flow projections, changes in discount rates used in discounted cash flow models or changes in other assumptions used in estimating fair values, versus those anticipated at the time of the initial acquisition, as well as subsequent estimated valuations, could result in impairment charges that may materially affect the financial statements in a given year. Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and marketable securities with original maturities of three months or less. At September 30, 2021 and 2020, Energizer had $238.9 and $459.8, respectively, in available cash, 94.8% and 61.8% of which was outside of the U.S., respectively. The Company has extensive operations, including a significant manufacturing footprint outside of the U.S. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. The repatriation of cash balances from certain of our subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences or be subject to regulatory capital requirements; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations. Our intention is to reinvest these funds indefinitely. Restricted Cash – The Company defines restricted cash as cash that is legally restricted as to withdrawal or usage. There was no restricted cash at September 30, 2021. The amount included in restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2020 represents the net proceeds from the September 2020 bond offering for the $800.0 Senior Notes at 4.375% due in 2029. These funds are net of the bank fees paid at funding. The funds were released on October 16, 2020 and were used to fund the full redemption of the USD 2026 Senior Notes at 6.375%. See Note 13, Debt, for further information. At September 30, 2021 2020 Cash and cash equivalents $ 238.9 $ 459.8 Restricted cash — 790.0 Total Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows $ 238.9 $ 1,249.8 Foreign Currency Translation – Financial statements of foreign operations where the local currency is the functional currency are translated using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during the period for results of operations. Related translation adjustments are reported as a component within accumulated other comprehensive loss in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Effective July 1, 2018, the financial statements for our Argentina subsidiary are consolidated under the rules governing the translation of financial information in a highly inflationary economy. Under U.S. GAAP, an economy is considered highly inflationary if the cumulative inflation rate for a three year period meets or exceeds 100 percent. The Argentina economy exceeded the three year cumulative inflation rate of 100 percent as of June 2018. If a subsidiary is considered to be in a highly inflationary economy, the financial statements of the subsidiary must be remeasured into the Company’s reporting currency (U.S. dollar) and future exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in current earnings, rather than exclusively in the equity section of the balance sheet, until such time as the economy is no longer considered highly inflationary. Financial Instruments and Derivative Securities – Energizer uses financial instruments, from time to time, in the management of foreign currency, interest rate risk and commodity price risks that are inherent to its business operations. Such instruments are not held or issued for trading purposes. Every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) is required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value as either an asset or liability. Changes in fair value of recorded derivatives are required to be recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Foreign exchange instruments, including currency forwards, are used primarily to reduce cash transaction exposures and to manage other translation exposures. Foreign exchange instruments used are selected based on their risk reduction attributes, costs and the related market conditions. The Company has designated certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes as of September 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company has interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. In December 2020, the Company terminated their previously existing interest rate swap agreements and entered into an interest rate swap (2020 interest rate swap) with an effective date on December 22, 2020, that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) at an interest rate of 0.95% on variable debt of $550.0. The notional value increased to $700.0 on January 22, 2021 and will stay at that value through December 22, 2024. The notional value will decrease by $100.0 on December 22, 2024 and by $100.0 each year thereafter until its termination date on December 22, 2027. The notional value of the swap was $700.0 at September 30, 2021. Energizer uses raw materials that are subject to price volatility. The Company may use hedging instruments to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with future purchases of commodities. At September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had derivative contracts for the future purchases of zinc. Cash Flow Presentation – The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are prepared using the indirect method, which reconciles net earnings to cash flow from operating activities. The reconciliation adjustments include the removal of timing differences between the occurrence of operating receipts and payments and their recognition in net earnings. The adjustments also remove cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which are presented separately from operating activities. Cash flows from foreign currency transactions and operations are translated at an average exchange rate for the period. Cash flows from hedging activities are included in the same category as the items being hedged, which is primarily operating activities. Cash payments related to income taxes are classified as operating activities. Cash flows are also distinguished between our continuing operations and our discontinued operations. Trade Receivables, net – Trade receivables are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for trade promotions reflects management's estimate of the amount of trade promotions that customers will take as an invoice reduction, rather than receiving cash payments for the trade allowances earned. See additional discussion on the trade allowances in the revenue recognition discussion further in this note. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company's best estimate of probable losses inherent in the receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information. Receivables that the Company has factored at September 30, 2021 and 2020 are excluded from the Trade receivables, net balance. Bad debt expense is included in Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Trade Receivables, net consists of: September 30, 2021 2020 Trade receivables $ 431.8 $ 447.5 Allowance for trade promotions (136.0) (152.7) Allowance for returns and doubtful accounts (2.9) (2.8) Trade receivables, net $ 292.9 $ 292.0 Trade Receivables Factoring - Energizer enters into various factoring agreements and early pay programs with our customers to sell our trade receivables under non-recourse agreements in exchange for cash proceeds. The Company's current credit agreement allows for Energizer to sell accounts receivable up to a maximum of $500.0 annually. During fiscal years 2021 and 2020, the Company sold $494.8 and $439.5, respectively, of receivables under this program. At September 30, 2021 and 2020, Energizer had $149.7 and $132.9, respectively, of outstanding sold receivables, which are excluded from the Trade receivables, net balance above. In some instances, we may continue to service the transferred receivables after factoring has occurred. However, any servicing of the trade receivable does not constitute significant continuing involvement and we do not carry any material servicing assets or liabilities. These receivables qualify for sales treatment under ASC 860 Transfers and Servicing, and the proceeds for the sale of these receivables is included in net cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, cash from factored receivables collected but not yet due to the bank included in Other current liabilities was $6.3 and $0.5, respectively. Additionally, the fees associated with factoring our receivables were $3.5, $4.7 and $4.9 during the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Any discounts and factoring fees related to these receivables are expensed as incurred in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income in Selling, general and administrative expense. Inventories – Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost generally being determined using average cost or the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The Company records a reserve for excess and obsolete inventory based upon the historical usage rates, sales patterns of its products and specifically-identified obsolete inventory. Capitalized Software Costs – Capitalized software costs are included in Other assets. These costs are amortized using the straight-line method over periods of related benefit ranging from three Property, Plant and Equipment, net – Property, plant and equipment, net is stated at historical costs. Expenditures for new facilities and expenditures that substantially increase the useful life of property, including interest during construction, are capitalized and reported in the Capital expenditures caption in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and gains or losses on the disposition are reflected in earnings. Property, plant and equipment, net held under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line bases over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset and such amortization is included in depreciation expense. Depreciation is generally provided on the straight-line basis by charges to pre-tax earnings at rates based on estimated useful lives. Estimated useful lives range from two twenty-five three Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, when appropriate, changes are made prospectively. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, asset lives may be adjusted and an impairment assessment may be performed on the recoverability of the carrying amounts. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – Energizer reviews long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment, when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the remaining useful life may warrant revision or that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be fully recoverable. Energizer performs undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if impairment exists. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on estimated fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less cost of disposal. Acquisitions – Energizer accounts for the acquisition of a business using the acquisition method of accounting and allocates the cost of an acquired business to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess value of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. During fiscal 2021, Energizer used variations of the income approach in determining the fair value of the amortizable intangible assets acquired as part of an acquisition to acquire a company that specializes in developing formulations for cleaning tasks. The Company utilized multi-period excess earnings methods for determining the fair value of the proprietary technology and customer relationships acquired. Our determination of the fair value of these assets involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to the revenue growth rates and discount rates. Our determination of the fair value of customer relationships also involved assumptions related to customer attrition rates. During fiscal 2019, Energizer used variations of the income approach in determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired in the Battery and Auto Care Acquisitions. Specifically, the Company utilized the multi-period excess earnings method for determining the fair value of the indefinite lived trade names and customer relationships acquired, and the relief from royalty method to determine the fair value of the proprietary technology acquired. Our determination of the fair value of the indefinite lived trade names acquired involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to revenue growth rates and discount rates. Our determination of the fair value of customer relationships acquired involved significant estimates and assumptions related to revenue growth rates, discount rates, and customer attrition rates. Our determination of the fair value of the proprietary technology acquired involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to revenue growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates. Energizer believes that the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions noted above are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates that marketplace participants would use. However, our assumptions are inherently risky and actual results could differ from those estimates. Adverse changes in the judgments, assumptions and estimates used in future measurements of fair value, including discount rates or future operating results and related cash flow projections, could result in an impairment of goodwill or intangible assets that would require a non-cash charge to the consolidated statements of operations and may have a material effect on our financial condition and operating results. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets – Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are not amortized, but are evaluated annually for impairment as part of the Company's annual business planning cycle in the fourth fiscal quarter, or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over expected lives. Such intangibles are also evaluated for impairment including ongoing monitoring of potential impairment indicators. Revenue Recognition – The Company measures revenue as the amount of consideration for which it expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods. Net sales reflect the transaction prices for contracts, which include units shipped at selling list prices reduced by variable consideration as determined by the terms of each individual contract. Discounts are offered to customers for early payment and an estimate of the discount is recorded as a reduction of net sales in the same period as the sale. Our standard sales terms generally include payments within 30 to 60 days and are final with returns or exchanges not permitted unless a special exception is made. Our Auto Care channel terms are longer, in some cases up to 365 days, in which case we use our Trade Receivables factoring program for more timely collection. Reserves are established based on historical data and recorded in cases where the right of return does exist for a particular sale. The Company does not offer warranties on products. Energizer offers a variety of programs, primarily to its retail customers, designed to promote sales of its products. Such programs require periodic payments and allowances based on estimated results of specific programs and are recorded as a reduction to net sales. Methodologies for determining these provisions are dependent on specific customer pricing and promotional practices, which range from contractually fixed percentage price reductions to reimbursement based on actual occurrence or performance. Where applicable, future reimbursements are estimated based on a combination of historical patterns and future expectations regarding specific in-market product performance. Energizer accrues, at the time of sale, the estimated total payments and allowances associated with each transaction. Customers redeem trade promotions in the form of payments from the accrued trade allowances or invoice credits against trade receivables. Additionally, Energizer offers programs directly to consumers to promote the sale of its products. Energizer continually assesses the adequacy of accruals for customer and consumer promotional program costs not yet paid. To the extent total program payments differ from estimates, adjustments may be necessary. Historically, these adjustments have not been material. The Company’s contracts with customers do not have significant financing components or non-cash consideration and the Company does not have unbilled revenue or significant amounts of prepayments from customers. Revenue is recorded net of the taxes we collect on behalf of governmental authorities which are generally included in the price to the customer. Shipping and handling activities are accounted for as contract fulfillment costs and recorded in Cost of products sold. Advertising and Sales Promotion Costs – The Company advertises and promotes its products through national and regional media and expenses such activities as incurred. Advertising costs were $122.5, $115.1, and $96.7 for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2021, 2020, 2019, respectively. Research and Development Costs - The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Income Taxes – Our annual effective income tax rate is determined based on our income, statutory tax rates and the tax impacts of items treated differently for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes. Tax law requires certain items be included in the tax return at different times than the items are reflected in the financial statements. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible in our tax return, and some differences are temporary, reversing over time, such as depreciation expense. These temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company estimates income taxes and the effective income tax rate in each jurisdiction that it operates. This involves estimating taxable earnings, specific taxable and deductible items, the likelihood of generating sufficient future taxable income to utilize deferred tax assets, the portion of the income of foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the U.S. and be taxable and possible exposures related to future tax audits. Deferred tax assets are evaluated on a subsidiary by subsidiary basis to ensure that the asset will be realized. Valuation allowances are established when the realization is not deemed to be more likely than not. Future performance is monitored, and when objectively measurable operating trends change, adjustments are made to the valuation allowances accordingly. To the extent the estimates described above change, adjustments to income taxes are made in the period in which the estimate is changed. The Company operates in multiple jurisdictions with complex tax and regulatory environments, which are subject to differing interpretations by the taxpayer and the taxing authorities. At times, the Company may take positions that management believes are supportable, but are potentially subject to successful challenges by the appropriate taxing authority. The Company evaluates its tax positions and establishes liabilities in accordance with guidance governing accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company reviews these tax uncertainties in light of the changing facts and circumstances, such as the progress of tax audits, and adjusts them accordingly. The Company's policy on accounting for tax on the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) is to treat the taxes due as a period expense when incurred. In general, it is our practice and intention to permanently reinvest the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries and repatriate earnings only when the tax impact is zero or very minimal. No provision has been provided for taxes that would result upon repatriation of our foreign investments to the United States. We intend to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in our foreign subsidiaries to fund local operations, fund strategic growth objectives, and fund capital projects. See Note 7, Income Taxes, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. Share-Based Payments – The Company grants restricted stock equivalents, which generally vest over two Estimated Fair Values of Financial Instruments – Certain financial instruments are required to be recorded at the estimated fair value. Changes in assumptions or estimation methods could affect the fair value estimates; however, we do not believe any such changes would have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Other financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term borrowings, including notes payable, are recorded at cost, which approximates estimated fair value. Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the current presentation. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendment provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR. These updates are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating our contracts and the optional expedients provided by this update, but does not expect any material impact to the financial statements.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Spin Costs	Spin Costs The Company incurred costs associated with the evaluation, planning and execution of the Spin-off. On a project to date basis, the total costs incurred and allocated to Energizer for the Spin-off were $197.6, inclusive of the costs of early debt retirement recorded in fiscal 2015. All spin activity is complete and we do not expect any further costs related to the Spin-off. No spin costs were incurred in the period ending September 30, 2019 or 2018. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded income of $3.8 in spin restructuring which included $2.5 of income in the second quarter reflecting the true up of previously accrued contract termination costs related to the 2016 right-sizing of the corporate headquarters and the first quarter sale of a facility in North America that was previously closed as part of the spin for a gain of $1.3. Energizer does not include the spin restructuring costs in the results of its reportable segments. The estimated impact of allocating such charges to segment results would have impacted the Americas segment by $1.3 and Corporate by $2.5.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions Formulations Acquisition - During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Green Global Holdings, LLC to acquire a North Carolina-based company that specializes in developing formulations for cleaning tasks (Formulations Acquisition). On December 1, 2020, the Formulations Acquisition was completed for a cash purchase price of $51.2. Subsequent to year-end, the working capital settlement was finalized, reducing the purchase price by $0.4 that will be paid to Energizer and the Company will finalize the purchase price accounting with this adjustment in the first fiscal quarter of 2022. The product formulations are both sold to customers directly and licensed to manufacturers. This acquisition is expected to bring significant innovation capabilities in formulations to the Company. The acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The preliminary fair value of proprietary technology acquired and customer relationships were determined by applying the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. The following table outlines the preliminary purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition: Trade receivables $ 1.3 Inventories 0.1 Goodwill 29.7 Other intangible assets, net 20.5 Operating lease assets 0.5 Accounts payable (0.2) Current operating lease liabilities (0.2) Other current liabilities (0.2) Operating lease liabilities (0.3) Net assets acquired $ 51.2 The table below identifies the initial estimate for purchased intangible assets of $20.5: Total Weighted Average Useful Lives Proprietary formulas $ 19.5 7 Customer relationships 1.0 15 Total Other intangible assets, net $ 20.5 The Company will continue to review its allocation of fair value to assets acquired and liabilities assumed for this acquisition, including income tax considerations. The goodwill acquired in this acquisition is attributable to the value the Company expects to achieve from the significant innovation capabilities in formulations that the acquired company will bring to our organization, as well as the workforce acquired. The goodwill has been allocated to the Americas segment. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company entered into incentive compensation agreements with certain key personnel. These agreements allow for potential earn out payments of up to $35.0 based on the achievement of a combination of financial and product development and commercialization performance targets and continued employment with the Company. These agreements are not considered a component of the acquisition purchase price but rather as employee compensation arrangements. The Company has recognized $3.4 of the total potential payments based on estimated earn out achieved at September 30, 2021. This was recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income in Selling, general and administrative expense and in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. FDK Indonesia Acquisition - During fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with FDK Corporation to acquire its subsidiary PT FDK Indonesia, a battery manufacturing facility (FDK Indonesia Acquisition). On October 1, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition for a contractual purchase price of $18.2. After contractual and working capital adjustments, the Company paid cash of $16.9 and a working capital adjustment of $0.7 in fiscal 2021. The acquisition of the FDK Indonesia facility increased the Company's alkaline battery production capacity and allows for the avoidance of future planned capital expenditures. The Company finalized their purchase price accounting in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2021. The FDK Indonesia Acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The fair value of the Property, plant and equipment were estimated using the cost approach. After determining the fair value of the real property acquired, which was greater than the purchase price, the acquisition resulted in a bargain purchase gain of $0.6, which was recorded in Other items, net on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Earnings. No goodwill or intangibles were identified with the purchase. The following table outlines the purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition: Cash and cash equivalents $ 1.7 Trade receivables 4.3 Inventories 7.8 Other current assets 1.1 Property, plant and equipment, net 19.4 Other assets 2.8 Accounts payable (10.7) Other current liabilities (0.5) Deferred tax liabilities (0.8) Other liabilities (6.9) Net assets acquired $ 18.2 Custom Accessories Europe Acquisition - On January 31, 2020, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire Custom Accessories Europe Group International Limited (CAE) for $1.9 in cash. CAE is a well-established marketer of branded automotive accessories throughout the United Kingdom and Europe. CAE partners with major automotive accessory brand owners to identify and develop complimentary brand extensions supported by sourcing and distribution activities. The purchase agreement had earn out payments that could increase the purchase price up to $9.9 if certain financial metrics are achieved over the next three years. During fiscal 2021, CAE achieved the full earnout threshold under the share purchase agreement, resulting in the full consideration of $9.9 to be paid out, including contingent consideration payments of $6.8 during the year. The Company has allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in identified intangible assets for vendor relationships of approximately $8.0, which will be amortized over the three-year lives of the vendor agreements. Battery Acquisition - On January 2, 2019, the Company completed the Battery Acquisition with a contractual purchase price of $2,000.0, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. The acquisition expanded the battery portfolio globally with the addition of a strong value brand. The final cash consideration after contractual and working capital adjustments was $1,962.4 which included $400.0 of cash consideration that was allocated to the Divestment Business discussed below. The Battery Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. During fiscal 2020, the Company completed the valuation analysis for the Battery Acquisition. For purposes of the allocation, the Company determined a fair value adjustment for inventory based on the estimated selling price of finished goods on hand at the closing date less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort of the acquiring entity. The fair value adjustment for the inventory of $14.6 was recorded as expense to Cost of products sold as that inventory was sold in fiscal 2019. The fair values of the Battery Acquisition's Property, plant and equipment were estimated using the market approach for land and variations of the cost approach for the buildings and equipment. The fair values of the Battery Acquisition's identifiable intangible assets were estimated using variations of the income approach. The fair value of acquired trade names acquired and customer relationships was determined by applying the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. The fair value of proprietary technology acquired was determined by applying the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach. The Divestment Business included the valuation of Inventory, Property, plant and equipment and Intangible assets consistent with the valuation methods discussed above. The fair value adjustment for the inventory of $11.2 was recorded as expense in the results from discontinued operations in 2019 as that inventory was sold. Goodwill was also allocated to the Divestment Business. The assets and liabilities of the Divestment Business were included as held for sale on the purchase price allocation. The following table outlines the purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition: Cash and cash equivalents $ 37.8 Trade receivables 54.2 Inventories 80.8 Other current assets 28.2 Assets held for sale 794.6 Property, plant and equipment, net 133.2 Goodwill 496.0 Other intangible assets, net 805.8 Other assets 10.3 Current portion of capital leases (1.2) Accounts payable (39.2) Other current liabilities (19.3) Long-term debt (14.7) Liabilities held for sale (394.6) Other liabilities (9.5) Net assets acquired $ 1,962.4 The table below outlines the purchased identifiable intangible assets of $805.8: Total Weighted Average Useful Lives Trade names $ 587.0 Indefinite Proprietary technology 59.0 6.2 Customer relationships 159.8 15.0 Total Other intangible assets, net $ 805.8 The goodwill acquired in this acquisition is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and the synergies expected to arise with this transaction through network optimization, Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) reductions and procurement efficiencies. The goodwill associated with this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. Auto Care Acquisition - On January 28, 2019, Energizer entered into a definitive acquisition agreement to acquire Spectrum’s global auto care business, including the Armor All, STP, and A/C PRO brands for a contractual purchase price of $1,250.0, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. The contractual purchase price was comprised of $937.5 in cash and $312.5 of newly-issued Energizer common stock to Spectrum. The initial cash paid after contractual and estimated working capital adjustments was $938.7. During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, the Company finalized the working capital adjustments with Spectrum and paid an additional $3.6 of cash. The equity consideration paid to Spectrum was fair valued at $240.5 based on the 5.3 million shares issued to Spectrum at the Energizer closing stock price of $45.55 on January 28, 2019. The final purchase price paid in cash and equity consideration was $1,182.8. The acquisition allowed for the Company to become a global leader in the auto care market and added automotive performance and air conditioning recharge products to its auto care portfolio. The Auto Care Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. During fiscal 2020, the Company completed the valuation analysis for the Auto Care Acquisition. For purposes of the allocation, the Company determined a fair value adjustment for inventory based on the estimated selling price of finished goods on hand at the closing date less the sum of (a) costs of disposal and (b) a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort of the acquiring entity. The fair value adjustment for the inventory was $21.6 and was recorded to Cost of products sold as the respective inventory was sold in fiscal 2019. The fair values of the Auto Care Acquisition's Property, plant and equipment were estimated using variations of the cost approach for the building and equipment. The fair values of the Auto Care Acquisition's identifiable intangible assets were estimated using variations of the income approach. The fair value of trade names acquired and customer relationships was determined by applying the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach. The fair value of proprietary technology acquired was determined by applying the relief-from-royalty method under the income approach. The following table outlines the purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition: Cash and cash equivalents $ 3.3 Trade receivables 39.7 Inventories 98.6 Other current assets 8.9 Property, plant and equipment, net 70.8 Goodwill 274.0 Other intangible assets, net 965.3 Deferred tax assets 4.2 Other assets 1.7 Current portion of capital leases (0.4) Accounts payable (28.6) Other current liabilities (10.9) Long-term debt (31.9) Other liabilities (deferred tax liabilities) (211.9) Net assets acquired $ 1,182.8 The table below outlines the purchased identifiable intangible assets of $965.3: Total Weighted Average Useful Lives Trade names $ 701.6 Indefinite Trade names 15.4 15 Proprietary technology 113.5 9.8 Customer relationships 134.8 15 Total Other intangible assets, net $ 965.3 The goodwill acquired in this acquisition is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and the synergies expected to arise with this transaction through network optimization, SG&A reductions and procurement efficiencies. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)- Pro forma net sales (unaudited), Pro forma net earnings from continuing operations (unaudited), Pro from net earnings from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders (unaudited) and Pro forma diluted net earnings per common share - continuing operations (unaudited) for the twelve months ended September 30, 2019 are shown in the table below. The unaudited pro forma results are presented as if the Battery and Auto Care Acquisitions had occurred on October 1, 2017. Pro forma results for the Formulations, FDK Indonesia and CAE acquisitions are not considered material and, as such, are not included below. The pro forma results are not indicative of the results the Company would have achieved if the acquisitions had occurred that date or indicative of the results of the future operation of the combined company. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon purchase price allocations and include purchase accounting adjustments for the impact of the inventory step up charge, depreciation and amortization expense from the fair value of the intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, interest and financing costs and the impact of the equity consideration completed to fund the acquisitions. Cost synergies that may result from combining Energizer and the Battery and Auto Care Acquisitions are not included in the pro forma table below. For the Year Ended September 30, 2019 Pro forma net sales (unaudited) $ 2,719.4 Pro forma net earnings from continuing operations (unaudited) 159.7 Pro forma mandatory preferred stock dividends (unaudited) 16.2 Pro forma net earnings from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders (unaudited) 143.5 Pro forma diluted net earnings per common share - continuing operations (unaudited) $ 2.02 Pro forma weighted average shares of common stock - Diluted (unaudited) 71.0 The shares included in the above are adjusted to assume that the common stock and Mandatory convertible preferred (MCPS) shares issued for the Auto Care Acquisition occurred as of October 1, 2017. For the period presented, the MCPS conversion was anti-dilutive and not assumed in the calculation. The unaudited pro forma data above includes the following significant adjustments made to account for certain costs to adjust for as if the acquisitions had occurred as of October 1, 2017. The following expenses, which are net of the applicable tax rates, were added to or removed from the net earnings amounts for each respective period: For the Year Ended Expense removed/(additional expense) September 30, 2019 Inventory step up (unaudited) (1) $ 28.5 Acquisition and integration costs (unaudited) (2) 44.3 Interest and ticking fees on escrowed debt (unaudited) (3) 21.6 Gains on escrowed debt (unaudited) (4) (10.5) (1) The inventory step up was removed from fiscal 2019 and recorded in fiscal 2018 as the inventory turn would have occurred in that year. (2) Acquisition and integration costs incurred to obtain legal services, pay investment banking fees and other transaction related expenses were removed from the various periods and recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 when the transaction is assumed to have occurred. (3) Interest and ticking fees from the acquisition related debt were accrued over the periods prior to the acquisition occurring. These fees were removed as they would not have been incurred if the acquisition occurred October 1, 2017. The interest from the new capital structure was included in the results and the pre-tax amount of $200.0 was included in each period. (4) The escrowed debt funds earned interest income and had gains on the non functional currency balances. These gains would not have been realized if the transaction had occurred as of October 1, 2017.

Leases

Leases	12 Months Ended

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at the inception of the contract by determining if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Energizer's portfolio of leases contains certain real estate, equipment, vehicles and office equipment leases. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Additionally, the Company's leases do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company does not account for lease components separately from non-lease components. The discount rate used to calculate present value for both operating and financing leases is Energizer's incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the commencement date, or if available, the rate implicit in the lease. The incremental borrowing rate used is determined based on fully secured borrowings at the time of lease commencement. Many of these agreements contain options to renew or terminate the lease. For calculating lease liabilities, the Company includes these options within the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will execute such options. Some of the leases include variable payments, which primarily are tied to asset usage or sales rather than an index or rate. As such, these variable payments are not included in the calculation of the Company's lease assets and liabilities. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020 the amounts for leases included on our Consolidated Balance Sheet include: Balance Sheet Location September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020 Operating Leases: Operating lease asset $ 112.3 $ 121.9 Operating lease liabilities - current 15.5 14.8 Operating lease liabilities 102.3 111.9 Total Operating Lease Liabilities $ 117.8 $ 126.7 Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years) 16.3 16.2 Weighted-average discount rate 4.1 % 4.2 % Finance Leases: Property, plant and equipment, net $ 37.2 $ 43.9 Current portion of capital leases 2.3 1.7 Long-term debt 42.0 44.1 Total Finance Lease Liabilities $ 44.3 $ 45.8 Weighted Average remaining lease term (in years) 19.8 20.4 Weighted-average discount rate 6.7 % 6.7 % The following table presents the components of lease expense: Twelve Months Ended September 30, 2021 Twelve Months Ended September 30, 2020 Operating lease costs $ 20.3 $ 20.4 Finance lease costs: Amortization of assets 3.2 3.2 Interest on lease liabilities 2.9 3.0 Variable lease costs 3.6 3.9 Total lease costs $ 30.0 $ 30.5 Supplemental cash and non-cash information related to leases: Twelve Months Ended September 30, 2021 Twelve Months Ended September 30, 2020 Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities: Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 18.9 $ 19.3 Operating cash flows from finance leases 2.9 2.9 Financing cash flows from finance leases 1.6 1.4 Non-cash increase in lease assets and lease liabilities: Operating leases (1) (2) $ 5.3 $ 88.4 (1) The fiscal 2021 increase in operating lease assets and liabilities includes normal lease renewals and immaterial lease modifications occurring through the normal course of business. Fiscal year 2020 activity includes a material embedded lease agreement which resulted in operating lease asset and lease liabilities of approximately $34, the renewal of the North America headquarters lease, which resulted in a material lease modification and additional operating lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $17, and the lease commencement for the Company's new battery distribution and packaging center in North America, which resulted in approximately $36 of additional operating lease related assets and lease liabilities. (2) The fiscal 2020 non-cash increase in operating lease assets and liabilities does not include the lease assets and lease liabilities recorded due to the ASC 842 implementation on October 1, 2019. Minimum lease payments under operating and finance leases with non-cancellable terms in excess of one year as of September 30, 2021 are as follows: Operating Leases Finance Leases 2022 $ 19.5 $ 4.8 2023 17.7 4.7 2024 16.8 4.5 2025 15.7 4.6 2026 11.1 4.7 Thereafter 88.4 61.9 Total lease payments 169.2 85.2 Less: Imputed interest (51.4) (40.9) Present value of lease liabilities $ 117.8 $ 44.3

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and intangible assets	Goodwill and intangible assets Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized, but are reviewed annually for impairment of value or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. As part of our business planning cycle, we performed our annual goodwill impairment testing for our reporting units in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. There were no indications of impairment of goodwill noted during this testing or throughout fiscal 2021. The following table represents the change in the carrying amount of goodwill at September 30, 2021 and 2020: Americas International Total Balance at September 30, 2019 $ 861.6 $ 143.2 $ 1,004.8 Battery acquisition 0.7 0.2 0.9 Auto Care acquisition 3.8 0.1 3.9 Cumulative translation adjustment (0.3) 6.7 6.4 Balance at September 30, 2020 $ 865.8 $ 150.2 $ 1,016.0 Formulations acquisition 29.7 — 29.7 Cumulative translation adjustment 0.2 7.9 8.1 Balance at September 30, 2021 $ 895.7 $ 158.1 $ 1,053.8 The Company had indefinite-lived intangible assets of $1,365.7 at September 30, 2021 and $1,365.4 at September 30, 2020.

In addition, there are $12.1 of tax loss carryforwards and credits with no expiration at September 30, 2021. The valuation allowance is primarily attributed to tax loss carryforwards and tax credits outside the U.S. In general, it is our practice and intention to permanently reinvest the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries and repatriate earnings only when the tax impact is zero or very minimal. No provision has been provided for taxes that would result upon repatriation of our foreign investments to the United States. At September 30, 2021, approximately $964 of basis differential in our investment in foreign affiliates was considered indefinitely invested in those businesses. We estimate that the U.S. federal income tax liability that could potentially arise if indefinitely invested basis of foreign subsidiaries were repatriated in full to the U.S. would be significant. While it is not practicable to calculate a specific potential U.S. tax exposure due to changing statutory rates in foreign jurisdictions over time, as well as other factors, we estimate the potential U.S. tax may be in excess of $202, if all unrealized basis differences were repatriated assuming foreign cash was available to do so. The unrecognized tax benefits activity is summarized below: For the Years Ended September 30, 2021 2020 2019 Unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year $ 14.2 $ 12.8 $ 10.9 Additions based on current year tax positions and acquisitions 0.1 0.1 — Additions based on prior year tax positions and acquisitions 2.6 2.8 2.7 Reductions for prior year tax positions — (0.6) — Settlements with taxing authorities/statute expirations (3.4) (0.9) (0.8) Unrecognized tax benefits, end of year $ 13.5 $ 14.2 $ 12.8 Included in the unrecognized tax benefits noted above are $13.5 of uncertain tax positions that would affect Energizer’s effective tax rate, if recognized. Energizer does not expect any significant increases or decreases to their unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of this reporting date. In the Consolidated Balance Sheets, unrecognized tax benefits are classified as Other liabilities (non-current) to the extent that payments are not anticipated within one year. Energizer classifies accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision. The accrued interest and penalties are not included in the table above. Energizer has accrued $6.8 of interest (net of the deferred tax asset of $1.1) and penalties of $3.4 at September 30, 2021, $5.6 of interest (net of the deferred tax asset of $0.8) and penalties of $4.0 at September 30, 2020, and $4.9 of interest (net of the deferred tax asset of $0.7) and penalties of $3.9 at September 30, 2019. Interest was computed on the difference between the tax position recognized in accordance with GAAP and the amount expected to be taken in the Company's tax return. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various cities and states, and more than 60 foreign jurisdictions where Energizer has operations. U.S. federal, state and local income tax returns for tax years ended September 30, 2018 and after remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. There are open examinations in the U.S. and at some of the foreign entities and the status of income tax examinations varies by jurisdiction. At this time, Energizer does not anticipate any material adjustments to its financial statements resulting from tax examinations currently in progress. The Company is contractually indemnified by Spectrum for any tax liability of the Acquired Battery and Auto Care Businesses arising from tax years prior to the acquisitions. The Company is also contractually obligated to pay Spectrum any tax benefit it receives in a tax year after the acquisitions as a result of an indemnification payment made by Spectrum. An indemnification asset and liability, where necessary, has been recorded to reflect this arrangement. The Company has also indemnified VARTA AG for certain tax liabilities that existed as of the divestment date. An indemnification asset or liability, where necessary, has been recorded to reflect these arrangements.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per share	Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is based on the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the average number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of restricted stock equivalents, performance shares and deferred compensation equity plan. Common shares issuable upon conversion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (MCPS) are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share using the if-converted method and are only included if the conversion would be further dilutive to the calculation. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019: For the Years Ended September 30, (in millions, except per share data) 2021 2020 2019 Basic earnings per share Net earnings from continuing operations $ 160.9 $ 46.8 $ 64.7 Mandatory preferred stock dividends (16.2) (16.2) (12.0) Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders 144.7 30.6 52.7 Net loss from discontinued operations, net of tax — (140.1) (13.6) Net earnings / (loss) attributable to common shareholders $ 144.7 $ (109.5) $ 39.1 Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 68.2 68.8 66.4 Basic net earnings per common share from continuing operations $ 2.12 $ 0.44 $ 0.79 Basic net loss per common share from discontinued operations — (2.03) (0.20) Basic net earnings / (loss) per common share $ 2.12 $ (1.59) $ 0.59 Diluted earnings per share Net earnings / (loss) attributable to common shareholders $ 144.7 $ (109.5) $ 39.1 Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 68.2 68.8 66.4 Effect of dilutive restricted stock equivalents 0.2 0.2 0.3 Effect of dilutive performance shares 0.2 0.4 0.4 Effect of stock based deferred compensation plan 0.1 0.1 0.2 Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted 68.7 69.5 67.3 Diluted earnings per common share from continuing operations $ 2.11 $ 0.44 $ 0.78 Diluted loss per common share from discontinued operations — (2.02) (0.20) Diluted net earnings / (loss) per common share $ 2.11 $ (1.58) $ 0.58 For the year ended September 30, 2021, 0.1 restricted stock equivalents were anti dilutive and for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 0.2 restricted stock equivalents were anti-dilutive and not included in the diluted net earnings per share calculations. Performance based restricted stock equivalents of 1.3, 1.1, and 0.9 were excluded for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively, as the performance targets for those shares had not been achieved as of the end of the current period. The Company's MCPS were considered anti-dilutive for all periods and excluded for the calculations of diluted earnings/(loss) per share.

Equity [Abstract]
Shareholders' Equity	Shareholders' Equity The Company's articles of incorporation authorized 300 million shares of common stock and 10 million shares of preferred stock, each with a par value of $0.01 per share. As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company had 72,386,840, common stock issued. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately 2.0 million shares reserved for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan and approximately 68,500 shares reserved for issuance under the deferred compensation plan. On November 12, 2020, the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program for up to 7.5 million shares of its common stock, replacing the prior authorization from July 2015. Under these and previously outstanding authorizations, the Company has repurchased 500,000 shares for $21.3, at an average price of $42.61 per share, 980,000 shares for $45.0, at an average price of $45.93 per share, and 1,036,000 shares for $45.0, at an average price of $43.46 per share, during the twelve months ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 the Company entered into a $75.0 accelerated share repurchase (ASR) program. Under the terms of the agreement, approximately 1.5 million shares were delivered in fiscal 2021 with the remainder to be delivered at termination of the agreement, on or before November 18, 2021. The remaining number of shares to be repurchased will be based on the volume-weighted average stock prices (VWAP) of the Company’s common stock during the ASR period. As of September 30, 2021, $60.0 is recorded as treasury stock representing the approximately 1.5 million shares delivered in fiscal 2021 and the remaining $15.0 is recorded as Additional paid in capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately 5.5 million shares still authorized under this authorization. Future share repurchases, if any, would be made on the open market and the timing and the amount of any purchases will be determined by the Company based on its evaluation of the market conditions, capital allocation objectives, legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2021, total dividends declared to shareholders were $82.6 and $83.9 was paid. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2020, total dividends declared to shareholders were $84.0 and $85.4 was paid. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2019, total dividends declared to shareholders were $82.4 and $83.0 was paid. The dividends paid included amounts on restricted shares that vested in the period. Subsequent to the fiscal year end, on November 15, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a dividend for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 of $0.30 per share of common stock, payable on December 15, 2021, to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2021. Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock - In January 2019, the Company issued 2,156,250 shares of Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (MCPS), with a par value of $0.01 per share and liquidation preference of $100.00 per share. There were 2,156,250 preferred shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and 2020. Each outstanding share of MCPS will convert automatically on the mandatory conversion date, which is expected to be January 15, 2022, into between 1.7892 and 2.1739 shares of common stock, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion will be determined based on the average VWAP per share of common stock over the 20 consecutive trading day period beginning on, and including, the 21st scheduled trading day immediately prior to January 15, 2022. Dividends on the MCPS will be payable on a cumulative basis at an annual rate of 7.50% of the liquidation preference of $100.00 per share of MCPS, and may be paid in cash or, subject to certain limitations, in shares of common stock, or in any combination of cash and shares of common stock. If declared, dividends on the MCPS will be payable quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on April 15, 2019 and ending on, and including, January 15, 2022. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2021, dividends declared and paid to preferred shareholders were $16.2. The payment included an accrued dividend from fiscal 2020 and the final dividend of fiscal 2021 was recorded in Other current liabilities at September 30, 2021 and was paid to the preferred shareholders on October 15, 2021. Subsequent to the end of the fiscal year, on November 15, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $1.875 per share of MCPS, payable on January 15, 2022, to all shareholders of record as of the close of business January 1, 2022. No dividend or distributions may be declared or paid on shares of common stock, and no common stock shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed, or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, unless all accumulated and unpaid dividends for all preceding dividend periods have been declared and paid upon, or a sufficient sum of cash or number of shares of common stock has been set aside for the payment of such dividends upon, all outstanding shares of MCPS. In connection with the offering of the MCPS, the Company entered into capped call transactions with certain counterparties. The capped call options are expected to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s Common Stock, subject to a cap, upon any conversion of MCPS. The Company paid $9.0 for the capped call transactions which reduced the net proceeds received from the MCPS.

Share-Based Payments

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-Based Payments	Share-Based Payments The Board of Directors adopted the Energizer Holdings, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the 2015 Plan) on July 1, 2015, upon completion of the Spin-off. Under the terms of the Plan, stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock equivalents, stock appreciation rights and performance-based stock awards may be granted to directors, officers and employees of the Company. The Plan authorizes a maximum number of 10 million common shares to be awarded. On January 27, 2020, the Company's shareholders approved the Energizer Holdings, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan (Omnibus Plan). The Omnibus Plan replaces and supersedes the 2015 Plan. No new awards will be issued under the 2015 Plan, though the terms of the 2015 Plan will continue to govern all awards granted under that plan. The Omnibus Plan authorizes 6.5 million shares to be awarded, as well as the 0.3 million shares that were still available for grant under the 2015 Plan. Under the Omnibus Plan, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units (time-based or performance-based), other stock awards and cash-based awards may be granted to directors, officers and employees of the Company. For purposes of determining the number of shares available for future issuance under the Omnibus Plan, awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights, will reduce the shares available for future issuance by two for every one share awarded. Stock options and stock appreciation rights reduce the shares available for future issuance on a one-for-one basis. At September 30, 2021, there were 5.8 million shares available for future awards under the Plan. Total compensation cost charged against income for Energizer’s share-based compensation arrangements was $10.2, $24.5 and $27.1 for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and was recorded in SG&A expense. The total income tax benefit recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income for share-based compensation arrangements was $2.3, $4.7 and $5.8 for the years ended September 30, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Restricted Stock Equivalents (RSE) In November 2017, the Company granted RSE awards to a group of key employees which included approximately 100,000 shares that vest ratably over four years. The closing stock price on the date of the grant used to determine the award fair value was $44.20. In November 2018, the Company granted RSE awards to a group of key employees which included approximately 73,000 shares that vest ratably over four years and granted RSE awards to a group of key executives of approximately 55,000 shares that vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant. In addition, the Company granted approximately 190,000 performance shares to a group of key employees and key executives that will vest subject to meeting target amounts for both cumulative adjusted earnings per share and cumulative free cash flow as a percentage of sales over the three year performance period. These performance measures are equally weighted in determining the final share award with the maximum award payout of approximately 380,000 shares. The closing stock price on the date of the grant used to determine the award fair value was $60.25. In November 2019, the Company granted RSE awards to a group of key employees of approximately 134,000 shares that vest ratably over four years and granted RSE awards to a group of key executives of approximately 81,000 shares that vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant. In addition, the Company granted approximately 306,000 performance shares to a group of key employees and key executives that will vest subject to meeting target amounts for both cumulative adjusted earnings per share and cumulative free cash flow as a percentage of sales over the three year performance period. These performance measures are equally weighted in determining the final share award with the maximum award payout of approximately 612,000 shares. The closing stock price on the date of the grant used to determine the award fair value was $43.10. In November 2020, the Company granted RSE awards to a group of key employees of approximately 120,000 shares that vest ratably over four years and granted RSE awards to a group of key executives of approximately 71,000 shares that vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant. In addition, the Company granted approximately 272,000 performance shares to a group of key employees and key executives that will vest subject to meeting target amounts for both cumulative adjusted earnings per share and cumulative free cash flow as a percentage of sales over the three year performance period. These performance measures are equally weighted in determining the final share award with the maximum award payout of approximately 544,000 shares. The closing stock price on the date of the grant used to determine the award fair value was $42.98. The following table summarizes the Company's RSE activity during the current fiscal year (shares in millions): Shares Weighted-Average Nonvested RSE at October 1, 2020 1.9 $ 47.56 Granted 0.9 $ 42.62 Vested (0.5) $ 44.55 Canceled (0.3) $ 45.32 Nonvested RSE at September 30, 2021 2.0 $ 46.44 As of September 30, 2021, there was an estimated $17.2 of total unrecognized compensation costs related to the outstanding RSE awards, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years. The weighted average estimated fair value for RSE awards granted in fiscal 2021 was $37.1. The estimated fair value of RSE awards that vested in fiscal 2021 was $21.7 Subsequent to year-end, in November 2021, the Company granted RSE awards to a group of key employees of approximately 140,000 shares that vest ratably over four years and granted RSE awards to a group of key executives of approximately 113,000 shares that vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Pension Plans	Pension Plans The Company has several defined benefit pension plans covering many of its employees in the U.S. and certain employees in other countries. The plans provide retirement benefits based on various factors including years of service and in certain circumstances, earnings. Most plans are now frozen to new entrants and for additional service. During fiscal year 2019, the Company completed the termination procedures with the Trustees of its Ireland pension plan. The Company has no remaining obligations or risks related to this pension plan. This resulted in a plan settlement to the projected benefit obligation of $8.6 and plan assets of $11.4 and a settlement loss of $3.7 recorded to Other items, net on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The Company also sponsors or participates in a number of other non-U.S. pension arrangements, including various retirement and termination benefit plans, some of which are required by local law or coordinated with government-sponsored plans, which are not significant in the aggregate and, therefore, are not included in the information presented in the following tables. The following tables present the benefit obligation, plan assets and funded status of the plans: September 30, U.S. International 2021 2020 2021 2020 Change in Projected Benefit Obligation Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 541.1 $ 531.3 $ 148.4 $ 145.8 Service cost — — 0.7 0.8 Interest cost 13.0 15.9 1.6 1.5 Actuarial (gain) / loss (8.2) 31.3 (4.5) (2.2) Benefits paid (38.0) (37.4) (5.5) (4.9) Plan settlements (0.5) — — (2.3) Foreign currency exchange rate changes — — 2.4 9.7 Projected Benefit Obligation at end of year $ 507.4 $ 541.1 $ 143.1 $ 148.4 Change in Plan Assets Estimated fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ 491.7 $ 463.5 $ 124.5 $ 122.8 Actual return on plan assets 34.0 62.8 8.5 0.2 Company contributions 2.9 2.8 2.5 1.1 Plan settlements (0.5) — — (2.3) Benefits paid (38.0) (37.4) (5.5) (4.9) Foreign currency exchange rate changes — — 3.1 7.6 Estimated fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 490.1 $ 491.7 $ 133.1 $ 124.5 Funded status at end of year $ (17.3) $ (49.4) $ (10.0) $ (23.9) The following table presents the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity/(Deficit): September 30, U.S. International Amounts Recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets 2021 2020 2021 2020 Noncurrent assets $ 12.8 $ — $ 17.2 $ 10.4 Current liabilities (2.7) (2.4) (0.6) (0.6) Noncurrent liabilities (27.4) (47.0) (26.6) (33.7) Net amount recognized $ (17.3) $ (49.4) $ (10.0) $ (23.9) Amounts Recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Net loss, pre tax $ (141.6) $ (169.1) $ (32.5) $ (42.9) Pre-tax changes recognized in other comprehensive loss for the year ended September 30, 2021 are as follows: Changes in plan assets and benefit obligations recognized in other comprehensive (loss)/income U.S. International Net gain arising during the year $ 19.8 $ 9.7 Effect of exchange rates — (0.7) Amounts recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost Amortization or settlement recognition of net gain 7.7 1.4 Total gain recognized in other comprehensive loss $ 27.5 $ 10.4 Energizer expects to contribute $2.7 to its U.S. plans and $2.6 to its International plans in fiscal 2022. Energizer’s expected future benefit payments for the plans are as follows: For The Years Ending September 30, U.S. International 2022 $ 38.0 $ 5.6 2023 36.7 5.5 2024 38.3 5.7 2025 35.8 5.9 2026 36.2 5.8 2027 to 2031 154.8 30.5 The accumulated benefit obligation for the U.S. plans was $507.4 and $541.1 and for the foreign plans was $141.0 and $146.0 at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The following table shows the plans with an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets at the dates indicated. September 30, U.S. International 2021 2020 2021 2020 Projected benefit obligation $ 30.1 $ 541.1 $ 68.9 $ 74.6 Accumulated benefit obligation 30.1 541.1 66.7 72.2 Estimated fair value of plan assets — 491.7 41.6 40.3 Pension plan assets in the U.S. plan represent approximately 79% of assets in all of the Company's defined benefit pension plans. Investment policy for the U.S. plan includes a mandate to diversify assets and invest in a variety of assets classes to achieve that goal. The U.S. plan's assets are currently invested in several funds representing most standard equity and debt security classes. The broad target allocations are approximately: (a) equities, including U.S. and foreign: 40%, and (b) debt securities, including U.S. bonds: 60%. Actual allocations at September 30, 2021 approximated these targets. The U.S. plan held no shares of Company common stock at September 30, 2021. Investment objectives are similar for non-U.S. pension arrangements, subject to local requirements. Based on the Company's funding position as of October 1, 2021, the broad target allocations were updated to approximately: (a) equities, including U.S. and foreign: 30%, and (b) debt securities, including U.S. bonds: 70% for fiscal 2022. The following table presents plan pension expense: For the Years Ended September 30, U.S. International 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 Service cost $ — $ — $ — $ 0.7 $ 0.8 $ 0.5 Interest cost 13.0 15.9 20.4 1.6 1.5 2.9 Expected return on plan assets (22.4) (24.3) (26.2) (3.2) (3.6) (4.9) Recognized net actuarial loss 7.4 6.5 4.1 1.5 1.5 0.9 Settlement loss on Ireland pension plan termination — — — — — 3.7 Settlement loss recognized on other pension plans 0.2 — — — 0.5 0.4 Net periodic (benefit)/expense $ (1.8) $ (1.9) $ (1.7) $ 0.6 $ 0.7 $ 3.5 The service cost component of the net periodic (benefit)/expense above is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income, while the remaining components are recorded to Other items, net. Amounts expected to be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net period benefit cost during the year ending September 30, 2022 are net actuarial losses of $6.4 for the U.S. Plan and $0.9 for the International plans.

The investment objective for plan assets is to satisfy the current and future pension benefit obligations. The investment philosophy is to achieve this objective through diversification of the retirement plan assets. The goal is to earn a suitable return with an appropriate level of risk while maintaining adequate liquidity to distribute benefit payments. The diversified asset allocation includes equity positions, as well as fixed income investments. The increased volatility associated with equities is offset with higher expected returns, while the long duration fixed income investments help dampen the volatility of the overall portfolio. Risk exposure is controlled by re-balancing the retirement plan assets back to target allocations, as needed. Investment firms managing retirement plan assets carry out investment policy within their stated guidelines. Investment performance is monitored against benchmark indices, which reflect the policy and target allocation of the retirement plan assets.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Defined Contribution Plan	Pension Plans The Company has several defined benefit pension plans covering many of its employees in the U.S. and certain employees in other countries. The plans provide retirement benefits based on various factors including years of service and in certain circumstances, earnings. Most plans are now frozen to new entrants and for additional service. During fiscal year 2019, the Company completed the termination procedures with the Trustees of its Ireland pension plan. The Company has no remaining obligations or risks related to this pension plan. This resulted in a plan settlement to the projected benefit obligation of $8.6 and plan assets of $11.4 and a settlement loss of $3.7 recorded to Other items, net on the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The Company also sponsors or participates in a number of other non-U.S. pension arrangements, including various retirement and termination benefit plans, some of which are required by local law or coordinated with government-sponsored plans, which are not significant in the aggregate and, therefore, are not included in the information presented in the following tables. The following tables present the benefit obligation, plan assets and funded status of the plans: September 30, U.S. International 2021 2020 2021 2020 Change in Projected Benefit Obligation Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 541.1 $ 531.3 $ 148.4 $ 145.8 Service cost — — 0.7 0.8 Interest cost 13.0 15.9 1.6 1.5 Actuarial (gain) / loss (8.2) 31.3 (4.5) (2.2) Benefits paid (38.0) (37.4) (5.5) (4.9) Plan settlements (0.5) — — (2.3) Foreign currency exchange rate changes — — 2.4 9.7 Projected Benefit Obligation at end of year $ 507.4 $ 541.1 $ 143.1 $ 148.4 Change in Plan Assets Estimated fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ 491.7 $ 463.5 $ 124.5 $ 122.8 Actual return on plan assets 34.0 62.8 8.5 0.2 Company contributions 2.9 2.8 2.5 1.1 Plan settlements (0.5) — — (2.3) Benefits paid (38.0) (37.4) (5.5) (4.9) Foreign currency exchange rate changes — — 3.1 7.6 Estimated fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 490.1 $ 491.7 $ 133.1 $ 124.5 Funded status at end of year $ (17.3) $ (49.4) $ (10.0) $ (23.9) The following table presents the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity/(Deficit): September 30, U.S. International Amounts Recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets 2021 2020 2021 2020 Noncurrent assets $ 12.8 $ — $ 17.2 $ 10.4 Current liabilities (2.7) (2.4) (0.6) (0.6) Noncurrent liabilities (27.4) (47.0) (26.6) (33.7) Net amount recognized $ (17.3) $ (49.4) $ (10.0) $ (23.9) Amounts Recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Net loss, pre tax $ (141.6) $ (169.1) $ (32.5) $ (42.9) Pre-tax changes recognized in other comprehensive loss for the year ended September 30, 2021 are as follows: Changes in plan assets and benefit obligations recognized in other comprehensive (loss)/income U.S. International Net gain arising during the year $ 19.8 $ 9.7 Effect of exchange rates — (0.7) Amounts recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost Amortization or settlement recognition of net gain 7.7 1.4 Total gain recognized in other comprehensive loss $ 27.5 $ 10.4 Energizer expects to contribute $2.7 to its U.S. plans and $2.6 to its International plans in fiscal 2022.

The following table shows the plans with an accumulated benefit obligation in excess of plan assets at the dates indicated. September 30, U.S. International 2021 2020 2021 2020 Projected benefit obligation $ 30.1 $ 541.1 $ 68.9 $ 74.6 Accumulated benefit obligation 30.1 541.1 66.7 72.2 Estimated fair value of plan assets — 491.7 41.6 40.3 Pension plan assets in the U.S. plan represent approximately 79% of assets in all of the Company's defined benefit pension plans. Investment policy for the U.S. plan includes a mandate to diversify assets and invest in a variety of assets classes to achieve that goal. The U.S. plan's assets are currently invested in several funds representing most standard equity and debt security classes. The broad target allocations are approximately: (a) equities, including U.S. and foreign: 40%, and (b) debt securities, including U.S. bonds: 60%. Actual allocations at September 30, 2021 approximated these targets. The U.S. plan held no shares of Company common stock at September 30, 2021. Investment objectives are similar for non-U.S. pension arrangements, subject to local requirements. Based on the Company's funding position as of October 1, 2021, the broad target allocations were updated to approximately: (a) equities, including U.S. and foreign: 30%, and (b) debt securities, including U.S. bonds: 70% for fiscal 2022.

The $550.0 of proceeds were used to pay down the remaining balances on the Term Loan A facility due in 2022, Term Loan B facility due in 2025 and the amounts outstanding on the existing Revolving Credit Facility from 2018 (2018 Revolving Facility). The pay down of the Term Loan A and B facilities were deemed to be extinguishments and the Company wrote-off $5.7 of deferred financing fees during the first fiscal quarter of 2021. On January 7, 2021, the Company amended the 2020 Credit Agreement and borrowed an incremental $650.0 on the Term Loan. The Company utilized the proceeds to fund the redemption of the Company’s outstanding $600.0 7.750% Senior Notes due 2027 (2027 Notes) at a redemption price equal to 110.965% of the aggregate principal amount. As a result, the Company paid a redemption premium of $66.6 during the second fiscal quarter of 2021. The Company also wrote off deferred financings fees associated with the 2027 Notes resulting in a total loss on extinguishment recognized in the second fiscal quarter of 2021 of $70.0. The 2020 Revolving Facility replaced the previously outstanding 2018 Revolving Facility. Borrowings under the 2020 Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, LIBOR or the Base Rate (as defined) plus the applicable margin. Borrowings under the Term Loan require quarterly principal payments at a rate of 0.25% of the original principal balance, or $3.0. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, LIBOR or Base Rate (as defined) plus the applicable margin. The 2020 Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $105.0 under the 2020 Revolving Facility and $7.7 of outstanding letters of credit. Taking into account outstanding letters of credit, $287.3 remained available as of September 30, 2021. As of September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, our weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings was 2.5% and 6.7%, respectively. Credit Agreement - Fiscal 2020 Activity - On December 27, 2019, the Company amended the 2018 Credit Agreement and refinanced $365.0 of term loan debt. The amendment established a new $365.0 Term Loan A facility due December 2022, which was used to pay down $300.0 of the existing Term Loan B facility due in 2025 and $65.0 of the existing Term Loan A facility due in 2021. The pay down of the Term Loan B facility was deemed to be an extinguishment and the Company recorded a Loss on extinguishment of debt of $4.2 during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Senior Notes - Fiscal 2021 Activity - On September 30, 2020, the Company completed a bond offering for $800.0 Senior Notes due in 2029 at 4.375% (2029 Notes). On October 16, 2020, the Company used the proceeds from the sale of the 2029 Notes to fund the redemption of all the $750.0 Senior Notes due in 2026 at 6.375% (2026 Notes). Due to the timing of the transaction crossing fiscal years and the Company's obligation to redeem the 2026 Notes, the 2026 Notes were classified as Current maturities of long term debt and the proceeds from the 2029 Notes, net of financing fees paid, were classified as Restricted cash on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2020. The Company paid a redemption premium of $55.9 in the first fiscal quarter of 2021 related to this redemption, and the transaction resulted in a Loss on extinguishment of debt of $68.6, which was recorded on the date of the transaction in fiscal 2020. On June 23, 2021, the Company completed a bond offering for €650 Senior Notes due in 2029 at 3.50% (2029 EUR Notes). The proceeds from the offering, combined with cash on hand, were used to satisfy its outstanding legal obligation on the €650 Senior Notes due in 2026 at 4.625% (2026 EUR Notes). The Company used approximately $45.9 of cash on hand to fund the redemption costs, accrued interest and fees associated with the redemption of the 2026 EUR Notes and issuance of the 2029 EUR Notes. The Company paid a redemption premium of $18.6 during the third quarter of fiscal 2021. The Company also wrote off deferred financing and interest and fees associated with the 2026 EUR Notes resulting in a total loss on extinguishment recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 of $27.6. Senior Notes - Fiscal 2020 Activity - On July 1, 2020, the Company completed a bond offering for $600.0 Senior Notes due in 2028 at 4.750% (2028 Notes). The Company utilized a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2028 Notes to fund the purchase of $488.8 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 5.50% Senior Notes due 2025 (2025 Notes) accepted for purchase pursuant to a cash tender offer. The Company used the remaining net proceeds from such sale, together with cash on hand, to fund the redemption of 2025 Notes not purchased pursuant to the tender offer, at a redemption price equal to 102.750% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. As a result of such redemption, all 2025 Notes that were not tendered and purchased by the Company pursuant to the tender offer were redeemed. The Company paid a total call premium for tendered and called notes of $18.3. The transaction resulted in a Loss on extinguishment of debt of $22.1. The 2028 Notes, 2029 Notes and 2029 EUR Notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers and will not be registered under federal or applicable state securities laws. Interest is payable semi annually on the 2028 Notes and 2029 EUR Notes in June and December and on the 2029 Notes in March and September. The 2028 Notes, 2029 Notes and 2029 EUR Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by certain of the Company's domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness of the Company under its 2020 Credit Agreement. Debt issuance fees paid related to the term loan refinancing and Senior Note offerings were $29.0 and $26.5 during the twelve months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company wrote-off a total of $18.1 and $20.7 of debt issuance fees as a result of the extinguishment activity during fiscal year 2021 and 2020, respectively. Debt issuance fees paid during the twelve months ended September 30, 2019 of $40.1 related to the initial senior notes taken out for the Battery and Auto Care Acquisitions. Interest Rate Swaps - In March 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on $200.0 of Energizer's variable rate debt through June 2022 at an interest rate of 2.03%. In February 2018, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap with an effective date of October 1, 2018, with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on additional variable rate debt at an interest rate of 2.47%. At the effective date, the swap had a notional value of $400.0. Beginning April 1, 2019, the notional amount decreases $50.0 each quarter, and continued to decrease until its termination date of December 31, 2020. In conjunction with the term loan refinance in December 2020, the Company terminated both of these interest rate swaps and entered into a new interest rate swap with the effective date of December 22, 2020, that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) at an interest rate of 0.95% on variable rate debt of $550.0. On January 22, 2021 the notional value increased to $700.0 and will stay at that value through December 22, 2024. The notional value will decrease by $100.0 on December 2024 and by $100.0 each year thereafter until its termination date on December 22, 2027. Notes Payable - The notes payable balance was $105.0 at September 30, 2021 and $3.8 at September 30, 2020. The 2021 balance is comprised of $105.0 of outstanding borrowings on the 2020 Revolving Facility. The 2020 balance was comprised of other borrowings, including those from foreign affiliates. Debt Covenants - The agreements governing the Company's debt contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and provisions relating to events of default. If the Company fails to comply with these covenants or with other requirements of these agreements, the lenders may have the right to accelerate the maturity of the debt. Acceleration under one of these facilities would trigger cross defaults to other borrowings. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was, and expects to remain, in compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with its debt agreements. The counterparties to long-term committed borrowings consist of a number of major financial institutions. The Company consistently monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside ratings agencies. Debt Maturities - Aggregate maturities of long-term debt as of September 30, 2021 were as follows: Long-term debt 2022 $ 12.0 2023 12.0 2024 12.0 2025 12.0 2026 12.0 Thereafter 3,286.7 Total long-term debt payments due $ 3,346.7

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Financial Instruments and Risk Management	Financial Instruments and Risk Management The market risk inherent in the Company's operations creates potential earnings volatility arising from changes in currency rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company's policy allows derivatives to be used only for identifiable exposures and, therefore, the Company does not enter into hedges for trading or speculative purposes where the sole objective is to generate profits. Concentration of Credit Risk – The counterparties to derivative contracts consist of a number of major financial institutions and are generally institutions with which the Company maintains lines of credit. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts through brokers nor does it trade derivative contracts on any other exchange or over-the-counter markets. Risk of currency positions and mark-to-market valuation of positions are strictly monitored at all times. The Company continually monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside rating agencies. While nonperformance by these counterparties exposes Energizer to potential credit losses, such losses are not anticipated. The Company sells to a large number of customers primarily in the retail trade, including those in mass merchandising, drugstore, supermarket and other channels of distribution throughout the world. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. accounted for 13.7%, 14.1%, and 13.8% of total net sales in fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, primarily in North America. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and creditworthiness, but does not generally require collateral. While the competitiveness of the retail industry presents an inherent uncertainty, the Company does not believe a significant risk of loss from a concentration of credit risk exists with respect to accounts receivable. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to commodity price and foreign currency risks. The section below outlines the types of derivatives that existed at September 30, 2021 and 2020, as well as the Company's objectives and strategies for holding these derivative instruments. Commodity Price Risk – The Company uses raw materials that are subject to price volatility. At times, the Company uses hedging instruments to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with future purchases of certain materials and commodities. Foreign Currency Risk – A significant portion of Energizer’s product cost is more closely tied to the U.S. dollar than to the local currencies in which the product is sold. As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar results in margin declines unless mitigated through pricing actions, which are not always available due to the economic or competitive environment. Conversely, a strengthening in currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve margins. The primary currencies to which Energizer is exposed include the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. However, the Company also has significant exposures in many other currencies which, in the aggregate, may have a material impact on the Company's operations. Additionally, Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create nonfunctional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and, to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each period. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in a transaction gain or loss recorded in Other items, net on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The primary currency to which Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar. Interest Rate Risk – Energizer has interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. At September 30, 2021, Energizer had variable rate debt outstanding with a principal balance of $1,299.0 under the 2020 Term Loan and the 2020 Revolving Facility. In March 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (2017 Interest rate swap) with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on $200.0 of Energizer's variable rate debt through June 2022 at an interest rate of 2.03%. In February 2018, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap (2018 Interest rate swap) with an effective date of October 1, 2018, with one major financial institution that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) on additional variable rate debt of $400.0 at an interest rate of 2.47%. Beginning April 1, 2019, the notional amount decreased $50.0 each quarter until its termination date of December 31, 2020. In December 2020, the Company terminated both of these swap arrangements and entered into an interest rate swap (2020 interest rate swap) with an effective date on December 22, 2020, that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) at an interest rate of 0.95% on variable debt of $550.0. The notional value increased to $700.0 on January 22, 2021 and will stay at that value through December 22, 2024. The notional value will decrease by $100.0 on December 22, 2024 and by $100.0 each year thereafter until its termination date on December 22, 2027. The notional value of the swap was $700.0 as September 30, 2021. Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships – The Company has entered into a series of forward currency contracts to hedge the cash flow uncertainty of forecasted payment of inventory purchases due to short term currency fluctuations. Energizer’s primary foreign affiliates, which are exposed to U.S. dollar purchases, have the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar as their local currencies. These foreign currencies represent a significant portion of Energizer's foreign currency exposure. At September 30, 2021 and 2020, Energizer had an unrealized pre-tax gain of $5.0 and loss of $4.9, respectively, included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at September 30, 2021 levels, over the next twelve months, $4.7 of the pre-tax gain included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be recognized in earnings. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal 2023. There were 62 open foreign currency contracts at September 30, 2021, with a total notional value of approximately $219. The Company has a hedging program on zinc purchases. The contracts were determined to be cash flow hedges and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. The contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal 2022. There were 5 open contracts at September 30, 2021, with a total notional value of approximately $10. The pre-tax gain on the zinc contracts of $4.7 and $4.4 was recognized at September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The 2017 Interest rate swap was terminated early in December 2020 and resulted in a $5.6 loss, which was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. This loss will be amortized into interest expense over the remainder of the interest payments associated with the Term Loan through June 2022, the original ending date of the 2017 Interest rate swap. The 2018 Interest rate swap was terminated in December 2020, which is consistent with the end of the original swap agreement. At September 30, 2021, Energizer recorded an unrecognized pre-tax gain of $11.7 on the 2020 Interest rate swap agreement, and at September 30, 2020, the Company recorded an unrealized pre-tax loss of $7.3 on the 2017 and 2018 interest rate swap contracts, both of which were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships - In addition, Energizer enters into foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes to hedge existing balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts would be offset by corresponding exchange losses or gains on the underlying exposures; thus are not subject to significant market risk. There were 6 open foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges at September 30, 2021, with a total notional value of approximately $67. The following table provides the Company's estimated fair values as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedges as of and for the twelve months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively: At September 30, 2021 For the Year Ended September 30, 2021 Derivatives designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships Estimated Fair Value Asset (1) (Loss) / Gain Recognized in OCI (2) (Loss) / Gain Reclassified Foreign currency contracts $ 5.0 $ (0.5) $ (10.4) Interest rate swaps 11.7 9.9 (6.7) Zinc contracts 4.7 4.5 4.2 Total $ 21.4 $ 13.9 $ (12.9) At September 30, 2020 For the Year Ended September 30, 2020 Derivatives designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships Estimated Fair Value (Liability) / Asset (1) (Loss) / Gain Recognized in OCI (2) Gain / (Loss) Reclassified Foreign currency contracts $ (4.9) $ (6.1) $ 3.3 Interest rate swaps (7.3) (6.6) (4.3) Zinc contracts 4.4 3.8 (1.6) Total $ (7.8) $ (8.9) $ (2.6) (1) All derivative liabilities are presented in Other current liabilities or Other liabilities. All derivative assets are presented in Other current assets or Other assets. (2) OCI is defined as other comprehensive income. (3) Gain/(Loss) reclassified to Income was recorded as follows: Foreign currency contracts in Cost of products sold, interest rate contracts in Interest expense, and commodity contracts in Cost of products sold. (4) Each of these hedging relationships has derivative instruments with a high correlation to the underlying exposure being hedged and has been deemed highly effective in offsetting the underlying risk. The following table provides estimated fair values as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the gains on derivative instruments not classified as cash flow hedges as of and for the twelve months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Energizer has the following recognized financial assets and financial liabilities resulting from those transactions that meet the scope of the disclosure requirements as necessitated by applicable accounting guidance for balance sheet offsetting: Offsetting of derivative assets At September 30, 2021 At September 30, 2020 Description Balance Sheet location Gross amounts of recognized assets Gross amounts offset in the Balance Sheet Net amounts of assets presented in the Balance Sheet Gross amounts of recognized assets Gross amounts offset in the Balance Sheet Net amounts of assets presented in the Balance Sheet Foreign Currency Contracts Other Current Assets, Other Assets $ 5.8 $ (0.6) $ 5.2 $ 0.8 $ (0.4) $ 0.4 Offsetting of derivative liabilities At September 30, 2021 At September 30, 2020 Description Balance Sheet location Gross amounts of recognized liabilities Gross amounts offset in the Balance Sheet Net amounts of liabilities presented in the Balance Sheet Gross amounts of recognized liabilities Gross amounts offset in the Balance Sheet Net amounts of liabilities presented in the Balance Sheet Foreign Currency Contracts Other Current Liabilities, Other Liabilities $ (0.8) $ 0.6 $ (0.2) $ (6.0) $ 0.5 $ (5.5) Fair Value Hierarchy – Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets. Under the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy, an entity is required to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, as of September 30, 2021 and 2020 that are measured on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy: Level 2 September 30, 2021 2020 (Liabilities)/Assets at estimated fair value: Deferred Compensation $ (25.1) $ (26.8) Derivatives - Foreign Currency contracts 5.0 (4.9) Derivatives - Foreign Currency contracts (non-hedge) — (0.2) Derivatives - Interest Rate Swaps 11.7 (7.3) Derivatives - Zinc contracts 4.7 $ 4.4 Net Liabilities at estimated fair value $ (3.7) $ (34.8) Energizer had no level 1 financial assets or liabilities, other than pension plan assets, and no level 3 financial assets or liabilities at September 30, 2021 and 2020. Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, carrying amounts on the balance sheets approximate estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of cash was determined based on level 1 inputs and cash equivalents and restricted cash are determined based on level 2 inputs. At September 30, 2021 and 2020, the estimated fair value of the Company's unfunded deferred compensation liability is determined based upon the quoted market prices of investment options that are offered under the plan. The estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts, interest rate swap and zinc contracts, as described above, is the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts, considering first, quoted market prices of comparable agreements, or in the absence of quoted market prices, such factors as interest rates, currency exchange rates and remaining maturities. At September 30, 2021 and 2020, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $2,156.1 and $2,858.3, respectively, compared to its carrying value of $2,152.7 and $2,761.9, respectively. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt is estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The estimated fair value of fixed rate long-term debt has been determined based on level 2 inputs.

Environmental Remediation Obligations [Abstract]
Environmental and Regulatory	Environmental and Regulatory Government Regulation and Environmental Matters – The operations of Energizer are subject to various federal, state, foreign and local laws and regulations intended to protect the public health and the environment. These regulations relate primarily to worker safety, air and water quality, underground fuel storage tanks and waste handling, collection, recycling and disposal. In connection with some sites, Energizer has been identified as a “potentially responsible party” (PRP) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act and may be required to share in the cost of cleanup with respect to certain federal “Superfund” sites. Energizer may also be required to share in the cost of cleanup with respect to state-designated sites or other sites outside of the U.S. Accrued environmental costs at September 30, 2021 were $10.1, of which $3.1 is expected to be spent during fiscal 2022. It is difficult to quantify with certainty the cost of environmental matters, particularly remediation and future capital expenditures for environmental control equipment. Environmental spending estimates could be modified as a result of changes in legal requirements or the enforcement or interpretation of existing requirements. Legal Proceedings – The Company and its affiliates are subject to a number of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions arising out of its operations. Many of these legal matters are in preliminary stages and involve complex issues of law and fact, and may proceed for protracted periods of time. The amount of liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty. The Company and its affiliates are a party to legal proceedings and claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. The Company reviews its legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, the Company believes that its liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, is not reasonably likely to be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	Related Party Transactions On January 28, 2019, the Company completed the Auto Care Acquisition from Spectrum, which included stock consideration of 5.3 million shares of Energizer common stock. In accordance with the terms of our Shareholder Agreement with Spectrum, Spectrum had the right to sell such shares on or after January 28, 2020, including through one or more registered secondary offerings. At September 30, 2020, Spectrum owned 1.7 million shares, or 2.5% of the Company's outstanding common shares. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, Spectrum sold the remainder of their shares, and as such at September 30, 2021 they are no longer considered to be a related party. The transactions between Spectrum and Energizer prior to when Spectrum sold their remaining shares during fiscal 2021 are immaterial. The transactions discussed below cover the time period in which Spectrum was a related party of Energizer Holdings, Inc. in fiscal 2020 and 2019. Following the completion of the Battery and Auto Care Acquisitions, the Company and Spectrum entered into transition service agreements (TSA) and reverse TSA. Under the agreements, Energizer and Spectrum provided each other certain specified back office support services on a transitional basis, including among other things, payroll and other human resource services, information systems as well as accounting support. The charges for the transition services are generally intended to allow the providing company to fully recover the allocated direct costs of providing the services, plus all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, and including a nominal profit. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had exited the majority of the TSA and reverse TSA, and during the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company was out of all agreements. During the twelve months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company paid $2.3 and $0.2, respectively, to Spectrum related to rent for office space at their Middleton, Wisconsin headquarters. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred expense of $8.4 in SG&A and $0.4 in Cost of products sold. The Company also recorded income of $0.9 in Other items, net related to the reverse transaction services agreements provided for the twelve months end period. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2019, the Company incurred expense of $15.3 in SG&A and $1.0 in Cost of products sold. The Company recorded income of $1.4 in Other items, net related to the reverse transaction services agreements provided for the twelve months ended period. Related to these agreements, the Company had a payable to Spectrum of $1.6 in Other current liabilities and a receivable from Spectrum of $30.6 in Other current assets as of September 30, 2020, as well as a receivable from Spectrum in Other assets of $18.4 as of September 30, 2020. The asset balance from Spectrum also included the tax indemnification due from Spectrum under the initial purchase agreements. The Company also entered into a supply agreement with Spectrum, ancillary to the Auto Care Acquisition that became effective upon the consummation of the acquisition. The supply agreement resulted in expense to the Company of $17.8 and $9.8 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company recorded $2.7 in Accounts payable at September 30, 2020 related to these purchases.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments	Segments For the twelve months ended September 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, operations for Energizer are managed via two major geographic reportable segments: Americas and International. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment operating profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses, share-based compensation costs, costs associated with acquisition and integration activities, an acquisition earn out, amortization costs, business realignment activities, research & development costs, settlement loss on pension plan termination, and other items determined to be corporate in nature. Financial items, such as interest income and expense and loss on extinguishment of debt, are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of substantially all acquisition, integration, restructuring and realignment costs from segment results reflects management’s view on how it evaluates segment performance. 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Energizer and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated. Energizer has no material equity method investments, variable interests or non-controlling interests. As a result of the Varta Divestiture, the respective operations of the Divestment Business, including a loss recorded on divestment, have been classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income and Statements of Cash Flows for fiscal years 2020 and 2019. There were no operations for the twelve months ended September 30, 2021 and no assets or liabilities associated with this business as of September 30, 2021 or 2020. See Note 5 - Divestment for more information on the discontinued operations.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates – The preparation of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, Energizer evaluates its estimates, including those related to customer promotional programs and incentives, product returns, bad debts, the carrying value of inventories, intangible and other long-lived assets, income taxes, pensions and other postretirement benefits, share-based compensation, contingencies and acquisitions. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. In regard to ongoing impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets, significant deterioration in future cash flow projections, changes in discount rates used in discounted cash flow models or changes in other assumptions used in estimating fair values, versus those anticipated at the time of the initial acquisition, as well as subsequent estimated valuations, could result in impairment charges that may materially affect the financial statements in a given year.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and marketable securities with original maturities of three months or less. At September 30, 2021 and 2020, Energizer had $238.9 and $459.8, respectively, in available cash, 94.8% and 61.8% of which was outside of the U.S., respectively. The Company has extensive operations, including a significant manufacturing footprint outside of the U.S. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. The repatriation of cash balances from certain of our subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences or be subject to regulatory capital requirements; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations. Our intention is to reinvest these funds indefinitely.
Foreign Currency Translations	Foreign Currency Translation – Financial statements of foreign operations where the local currency is the functional currency are translated using end-of-period exchange rates for assets and liabilities and average exchange rates during the period for results of operations. Related translation adjustments are reported as a component within accumulated other comprehensive loss in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Financial Instruments and Derivative Securities	Financial Instruments and Derivative Securities – Energizer uses financial instruments, from time to time, in the management of foreign currency, interest rate risk and commodity price risks that are inherent to its business operations. Such instruments are not held or issued for trading purposes. Every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) is required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value as either an asset or liability. Changes in fair value of recorded derivatives are required to be recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Foreign exchange instruments, including currency forwards, are used primarily to reduce cash transaction exposures and to manage other translation exposures. Foreign exchange instruments used are selected based on their risk reduction attributes, costs and the related market conditions. The Company has designated certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes as of September 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company has interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. In December 2020, the Company terminated their previously existing interest rate swap agreements and entered into an interest rate swap (2020 interest rate swap) with an effective date on December 22, 2020, that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) at an interest rate of 0.95% on variable debt of $550.0. The notional value increased to $700.0 on January 22, 2021 and will stay at that value through December 22, 2024. The notional value will decrease by $100.0 on December 22, 2024 and by $100.0 each year thereafter until its termination date on December 22, 2027. The notional value of the swap was $700.0 at September 30, 2021.
Cash Flow Presentation	Cash Flow Presentation – The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are prepared using the indirect method, which reconciles net earnings to cash flow from operating activities. The reconciliation adjustments include the removal of timing differences between the occurrence of operating receipts and payments and their recognition in net earnings. The adjustments also remove cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which are presented separately from operating activities. Cash flows from foreign currency transactions and operations are translated at an average exchange rate for the period. Cash flows from hedging activities are included in the same category as the items being hedged, which is primarily operating activities. Cash payments related to income taxes are classified as operating activities.
Trade Receivables, net	Trade Receivables, net – Trade receivables are stated at their net realizable value. The allowance for trade promotions reflects management's estimate of the amount of trade promotions that customers will take as an invoice reduction, rather than receiving cash payments for the trade allowances earned. See additional discussion on the trade allowances in the revenue recognition discussion further in this note. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects the Company's best estimate of probable losses inherent in the receivables portfolio determined on the basis of historical experience, specific allowances for known troubled accounts and other currently available information. Receivables that the Company has factored at September 30, 2021 and 2020 are excluded from the Trade receivables, net balance. Bad debt expense is included in Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.
Inventories	Inventories – Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with cost generally being determined using average cost or the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The Company records a reserve for excess and obsolete inventory based upon the historical usage rates, sales patterns of its products and specifically-identified obsolete inventory.
Capitalized Software Costs	Capitalized Software Costs – Capitalized software costs are included in Other assets. These costs are amortized using the straight-line method over periods of related benefit ranging from three
Property, Plant and Equipment, net	Property, Plant and Equipment, net – Property, plant and equipment, net is stated at historical costs. Expenditures for new facilities and expenditures that substantially increase the useful life of property, including interest during construction, are capitalized and reported in the Capital expenditures caption in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Maintenance, repairs and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and gains or losses on the disposition are reflected in earnings. Property, plant and equipment, net held under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line bases over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset and such amortization is included in depreciation expense. Depreciation is generally provided on the straight-line basis by charges to pre-tax earnings at rates based on estimated useful lives. Estimated useful lives range from two twenty-five three Estimated useful lives are periodically reviewed and, when appropriate, changes are made prospectively. When certain events or changes in operating conditions occur, asset lives may be adjusted and an impairment assessment may be performed on the recoverability of the carrying amounts.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – Energizer reviews long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment, when events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the remaining useful life may warrant revision or that the carrying amount of the long-lived asset may not be fully recoverable. Energizer performs undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine if impairment exists. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on estimated fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less cost of disposal.
Acquisitions	Acquisitions – Energizer accounts for the acquisition of a business using the acquisition method of accounting and allocates the cost of an acquired business to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess value of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. During fiscal 2021, Energizer used variations of the income approach in determining the fair value of the amortizable intangible assets acquired as part of an acquisition to acquire a company that specializes in developing formulations for cleaning tasks. The Company utilized multi-period excess earnings methods for determining the fair value of the proprietary technology and customer relationships acquired. Our determination of the fair value of these assets involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to the revenue growth rates and discount rates. Our determination of the fair value of customer relationships also involved assumptions related to customer attrition rates. During fiscal 2019, Energizer used variations of the income approach in determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired in the Battery and Auto Care Acquisitions. Specifically, the Company utilized the multi-period excess earnings method for determining the fair value of the indefinite lived trade names and customer relationships acquired, and the relief from royalty method to determine the fair value of the proprietary technology acquired. Our determination of the fair value of the indefinite lived trade names acquired involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to revenue growth rates and discount rates. Our determination of the fair value of customer relationships acquired involved significant estimates and assumptions related to revenue growth rates, discount rates, and customer attrition rates. Our determination of the fair value of the proprietary technology acquired involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to revenue growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates. Energizer believes that the fair value assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions noted above are based on reasonable assumptions and estimates that marketplace participants would use. However, our assumptions are inherently risky and actual results could differ from those estimates. Adverse changes in the judgments, assumptions and
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets – Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are not amortized, but are evaluated annually for impairment as part of the Company's annual business planning cycle in the fourth fiscal quarter, or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over expected lives. Such intangibles are also evaluated for impairment including ongoing monitoring of potential impairment indicators.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition – The Company measures revenue as the amount of consideration for which it expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods. Net sales reflect the transaction prices for contracts, which include units shipped at selling list prices reduced by variable consideration as determined by the terms of each individual contract. Discounts are offered to customers for early payment and an estimate of the discount is recorded as a reduction of net sales in the same period as the sale. Our standard sales terms generally include payments within 30 to 60 days and are final with returns or exchanges not permitted unless a special exception is made. Our Auto Care channel terms are longer, in some cases up to 365 days, in which case we use our Trade Receivables factoring program for more timely collection. Reserves are established based on historical data and recorded in cases where the right of return does exist for a particular sale. The Company does not offer warranties on products. Energizer offers a variety of programs, primarily to its retail customers, designed to promote sales of its products. Such programs require periodic payments and allowances based on estimated results of specific programs and are recorded as a reduction to net sales. Methodologies for determining these provisions are dependent on specific customer pricing and promotional practices, which range from contractually fixed percentage price reductions to reimbursement based on actual occurrence or performance. Where applicable, future reimbursements are estimated based on a combination of historical patterns and future expectations regarding specific in-market product performance. Energizer accrues, at the time of sale, the estimated total payments and allowances associated with each transaction. Customers redeem trade promotions in the form of payments from the accrued trade allowances or invoice credits against trade receivables. Additionally, Energizer offers programs directly to consumers to promote the sale of its products. Energizer continually assesses the adequacy of accruals for customer and consumer promotional program costs not yet paid. To the extent total program payments differ from estimates, adjustments may be necessary. Historically, these adjustments have not been material.
Advertising and Sales Promotion Costs	Advertising and Sales Promotion Costs – The Company advertises and promotes its products through national and regional media and expenses such activities as incurred.
Research and Development Costs	Research and Development Costs - The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes – Our annual effective income tax rate is determined based on our income, statutory tax rates and the tax impacts of items treated differently for tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes. Tax law requires certain items be included in the tax return at different times than the items are reflected in the financial statements. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses that are not deductible in our tax return, and some differences are temporary, reversing over time, such as depreciation expense. These temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company estimates income taxes and the effective income tax rate in each jurisdiction that it operates. This involves estimating taxable earnings, specific taxable and deductible items, the likelihood of generating sufficient future taxable income to utilize deferred tax assets, the portion of the income of foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the U.S. and be taxable and possible exposures related to future tax audits. Deferred tax assets are evaluated on a subsidiary by subsidiary basis to ensure that the asset will be realized. Valuation allowances are established when the realization is not deemed to be more likely than not. Future performance is monitored, and when objectively measurable operating trends change, adjustments are made to the valuation allowances accordingly. To the extent the estimates described above change, adjustments to income taxes are made in the period in which the estimate is changed.
Share-Based Payments	Share-Based Payments – The Company grants restricted stock equivalents, which generally vest over two
Estimated Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Estimated Fair Values of Financial Instruments – Certain financial instruments are required to be recorded at the estimated fair value. Changes in assumptions or estimation methods could affect the fair value estimates; however, we do not believe any such changes would have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Other financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term borrowings, including notes payable, are recorded at cost, which approximates estimated fair value.
Recently Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendment provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR. These updates are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating our contracts and the optional expedients provided by this update, but does not expect any material impact to the financial statements.
