Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company, through its operating subsidiaries, is one of the world’s largest manufacturers, marketers and distributors of household batteries, specialty batteries and lighting products, and is a leading designer and marketer of automotive fragrance, appearance, performance and air conditioning recharge products. The Company distributes its products to consumers through numerous retail locations worldwide, including mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs, food, drug and convenience stores, electronics specialty stores and department stores, hardware and automotive centers, e-commerce and military stores. The Company sells to its customers through a combination of a direct sales force and exclusive and non-exclusive third-party distributors and wholesalers. The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from the sale of finished product to customers. Sales predominantly contain a single delivery element, or performance obligation, and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer. This typically occurs when finished goods are delivered to the customer or when finished goods are picked up by a customer or customer’s carrier, depending on contract terms. North America sales are generally through large retailers with nationally or regionally recognized brands. Our International sales, which includes Latin America, are comprised of modern trade, developing and distributor market groups. Modern trade, which is most prevalent in Western Europe and more developed economies throughout the world, generally refers to sales through large retailers with nationally or regionally recognized brands. Developing markets generally include sales by wholesalers or small retailers who may not have a national or regional presence. Distributors are utilized in other markets where the Company does not have a direct sales force. Each market's determination is based on the predominant customer type or sales strategy utilized in the market. As discussed in Note 6, Segments, following the completion of the Battery and Auto Care Acquisition integrations in fiscal 2022, the Company has changed its reportable segments to better reflect what the chief operating decision maker is reviewing to make organizational decisions and resource allocations. Therefore, the Company has recast the product and market information for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2021 by recasting the Battery and Auto Care licensing and other sales within each product category, and Latin America within the respective Modern, Developing and Distributors markets as appropriate. Supplemental product and market information is presented below for revenues from external customers for the quarters and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021: For the Quarters Ended March 31, For the Six Months Ended March 31, Net Sales by products 2022 2021 2022 2021 Batteries $ 488.5 $ 515.4 $ 1,190.2 $ 1,224.1 Auto Care 168.9 142.2 275.0 246.9 Lights 28.0 27.5 66.5 62.7 Total Net Sales $ 685.4 $ 685.1 $ 1,531.7 $ 1,533.7 For the Quarters Ended March 31, For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net Sales by markets North America $ 417.7 $ 419.3 $ 926.6 $ 936.2 Modern Markets 115.2 119.6 280.5 294.1 Developing Markets 99.9 94.7 215.3 203.0 Distributors Markets 52.6 51.5 109.3 100.4 Total Net Sales $ 685.4 $ 685.1 $ 1,531.7 $ 1,533.7

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisition	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. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the working capital settlement was finalized, reducing the purchase price by $1.0, of which $0.4 was paid to the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The remaining amount was subsequently settled in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The product formulations acquired 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 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 purchase price allocation: Trade receivables $ 1.3 Inventories 0.1 Goodwill 28.7 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 $ 50.2 The table below identifies the purchased intangible assets of $20.5: Total Weighted Average Useful Lives Proprietary technology $ 19.5 7 Customer relationships 1.0 15 Total Other intangible assets, net $ 20.5 The Company finalized their purchase price accounting in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. 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 was allocated to the Americas segment prior to the Company's reorganization of our reportable segments on October 1, 2021. Refer to Note 7, Goodwill and intangible assets, for additional details. 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 over three performance years. These agreements are not considered a component of the acquisition purchase price but rather as employee compensation arrangements. During the six months ended March 31, 2022 and the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, $1.1 of this earn-out was recorded on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income in Selling, general and administrative expense.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring	Restructuring In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019, the Company began implementing restructuring related integration plans for our manufacturing and distribution networks. These plans include the closure and combination of distribution and manufacturing facilities in order to reduce complexity and realize greater efficiencies in our manufacturing, packaging and distribution processes. All activities within these plans were substantially completed by December 31, 2021, and the Company does not expect to incur additional material charges associated with these plans. In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020, the Company initiated a new restructuring program with a primary focus on reorganizing its global end-to-end supply chain network and ensuring accountability by category. This program included streamlining the Company’s end-to-end supply chain model to enable rapid response to category specific demands and enhancing our ability to better serve our customers. Planning and execution of this program began in fiscal year 2021 and this program was substantially complete by December 31, 2021. The Company does not expect to incur additional material charges associated with this program. The pre-tax expense for charges related to the restructuring plans for the quarters and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are noted in the table below and were reflected in the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income: For the Quarters Ended March 31, For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 2022 2021 2019 Restructuring Program Costs of products sold Severance and related benefit costs $ — $ (0.2) $ (0.1) $ (0.1) Accelerated depreciation & asset write-offs — 1.4 1.2 2.8 Other exit costs (1) — 4.6 2.8 9.7 2019 Restructuring Total $ — $ 5.8 $ 3.9 $ 12.4 2020 Restructuring Program Costs of products sold Severance and related benefit costs $ — $ — $ 0.2 $ — Other restructuring related costs (2) — 1.2 1.1 2.0 Selling, general and administrate expense Severance and related benefit costs — (0.1) 0.1 0.2 Other restructuring related costs (2) — 4.3 — 7.2 2020 Restructuring Total $ — $ 5.4 $ 1.4 $ 9.4 Total restructuring related expense $ — $ 11.2 $ 5.3 $ 21.8 (1) Includes charges primarily related to consulting, relocation, environmental investigatory and mitigation costs, and other facility exit costs. (2) Primarily includes consulting fees for the restructuring program. Although the Company's restructuring costs are recorded outside of segment profit, if allocated to our reportable segments, the restructuring costs noted above for the six months ended March 31, 2022 would be incurred within the Battery & Lights segment in the amounts of $5.1 and the Auto Care segment in the amount of $0.2. If allocated to the Company's new reportable segments in the prior year, $10.5 and $21.1 of the restructuring costs would have been incurred within the Battery & Lights segment for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively. For both the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2021, $0.7 would have been incurred within the Auto Care segment.

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 equivalent (RSE) awards, performance share awards, deferred compensation equity plans and the conversion of the Mandatory convertible preferred stock (MCPS). During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the MCPS were converted to approximately 4.7 million shares of Common stock. For the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2022, the issued common shares are included in the basic weighted average common shares outstanding for the period subsequent to the conversion, and included in the diluted calculation prior to their conversion using the if-converted method and are only included if the conversion would be further dilutive to the calculation. For fiscal 2021 periods prior to the conversion, the shares 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 quarters and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021: (in millions, except per share data) For the Quarters Ended March 31, For the Six Months Ended March 31, Basic net earnings per share 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net earnings/(loss) $ 19.0 $ (10.2) $ 79.0 $ 56.9 Mandatory preferred stock dividends — (4.1) (4.0) (8.1) Net earnings/(loss) attributable to common shareholders $ 19.0 $ (14.3) $ 75.0 $ 48.8 Weighted average common shares outstanding - Basic 70.4 68.4 68.6 68.5 Basic net earnings/(loss) per common share $ 0.27 $ (0.21) $ 1.09 $ 0.71 Diluted net earnings per share Weighted average common shares outstanding - Basic 70.4 68.4 68.6 68.5 Dilutive effect of RSE 0.1 — 0.1 0.1 Dilutive effect of performance shares 0.1 — 0.2 0.1 Dilutive effect of stock based deferred compensation plan 0.1 — 0.1 0.1 Dilutive effect of MCPS 0.9 — — — Weighted average common shares outstanding - Diluted 71.6 68.4 69.0 68.8 Diluted net earnings/(loss) per common share $ 0.27 $ (0.21) $ 1.09 $ 0.71 For the quarter ended March 31, 2022, 0.4 million RSEs were anti-dilutive and not included in the diluted net earnings per share calculation. For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, as our continuing operations was in a loss position, all restricted shares were anti-dilutive and excluded from our dilutive net earnings/(loss) per share calculation. For the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, 0.3 million and 0.1 million RSEs were antidilutive and not included in the diluted net earnings per share calculation. Performance based RSEs of 1.6 million were antidilutive and excluded, as the performance targets for those awards have not been achieved as of March 31, 2022. All performance shares were excluded from the quarter ended March 31, 2021 as our continuing operations were in a loss position. For the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, performance based RSEs of 1.6 million and 1.3 million, respectively, were antidilutive and therefore excluded, as the performance targets for those awards have not been achieved as of the end of the applicable period.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segments	Segments As of October 1, 2021, the Company changed its reportable operating segments from two geographical segments, previously Americas and International, to two product groupings, Battery & Lights and Auto Care. This change came with the completion of the Battery and Auto Care Acquisition integrations in fiscal 2022. The Company changed its reporting structure to better reflect what the chief operating decision maker is reviewing to make organizational decisions and resource allocations. The Company has recast the information for the quarter and six months ended March 31, 2021 to align with this presentation. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment operating profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses (including share-based compensation costs), amortization of intangibles, acquisition and integration activities, including restructuring charges, acquisition earn out, the costs of exiting the Russian market 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 acquisition and integration 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 product segments, varying by country and region of the world. Shared functions include the sales and marketing functions, as well as human resources, 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. Segment sales and profitability for the quarters and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are presented below: For the Quarters Ended March 31, For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net Sales Batteries & Lights $ 516.5 $ 542.9 $ 1,256.7 $ 1,286.8 Auto Care 168.9 142.2 275.0 246.9 Total net sales $ 685.4 $ 685.1 $ 1,531.7 $ 1,533.7 Segment Profit Batteries & Lights $ 95.3 $ 125.4 $ 263.7 $ 305.9 Auto Care 24.3 28.9 24.1 47.2 Total segment profit 119.6 154.3 $ 287.8 $ 353.1 General corporate and other expenses (1) (25.6) (25.8) (47.3) (49.8) Amortization of intangible assets (15.2) (15.3) (30.4) (30.8) Acquisition and integration costs (2) — (16.8) (16.5) (35.1) Acquisition earn out (3) — (1.1) (1.1) (1.1) Interest expense (38.3) (39.1) (75.3) (86.4) Exit of Russian market (4) (14.0) — (14.0) — Loss on extinguishment of debt — (70.0) — (75.7) Other items, net - Adjusted (5) 1.5 0.1 1.3 (0.6) Total earnings/(loss) before income taxes $ 28.0 $ (13.7) $ 104.5 $ 73.6 Depreciation and amortization Batteries & Lights $ 11.7 $ 11.9 $ 23.9 $ 23.9 Auto Care 2.3 1.7 4.3 4.0 Total segment depreciation and amortization $ 14.0 $ 13.6 $ 28.2 $ 27.9 Amortization of intangible assets 15.2 15.3 30.4 30.8 Total depreciation and amortization $ 29.2 $ 28.9 $ 58.6 $ 58.7 (1) Included in SG&A in the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

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 2018 Revolving Credit 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 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.

Senior Notes - On March 8, 2022, the Company completed a bond offering for $300.0 Senior Notes due in 2027 at 6.500% (2027 Notes). The proceeds from the offering were used to repay a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under the 2020 Revolving Facility and to pay fees and expenses related to the offering. The 2027 Notes were sold to qualified institutional buyers and will not be registered under federal or applicable state securities laws. Interest is payable semi-annually in June and December. The 2027 Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed on an unsecured basis by each of the Company's domestic restricted subsidiaries that is a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement.

Interest Rate Swaps - In conjunction with the term loan refinance in December 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with an 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 22, 2024 and by $100.0 each year thereafter until its termination date on December 22, 2027. Refer to Note 11, Financial Instruments and Risk Management, for additional information on the Company's interest rate swap transactions.

The September 30, 2021 balance was all outstanding borrowings on the 2020 Revolving Facility. 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 debt agreements, the lenders may have the right to accelerate the maturity of the debt. Acceleration under one of these debt agreements would trigger cross defaults to other borrowings. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was 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. Capital lease obligations - Subsequent to the quarter, in April 2022 the Company entered into a termination agreement with the landlord of our capital lease in Dixon, IL. The Company terminated the lease agreement, which went into 2028, reducing our capital lease obligations by $9.8. The termination agreement required the Company to pay a termination fee of approximately $4. Since the Company has already vacated the facility as a part of the 2019 restructuring program, the assets associated with the location have been fully depreciated. The termination of this lease, net of the termination fee, brokerage costs and other decommissioning fees will result in a gain of approximately $4 to $5 to be recognized in Other items, net during the third quarter of fiscal 2022. Debt Maturities - Aggregate maturities of long-term debt as of March 31, 2022 are as follows: Long-term debt One year $ 12.0 Two year 12.0 Three year 12.0 Four year 12.0 Five year 12.0 Thereafter 3,547.3 Total long-term debt payments due $ 3,607.3

Equity [Abstract]
Shareholders' Equity	Shareholders' Equity During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, all outstanding shares of the Company's 7.50% Series A MCPS automatically converted into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a rate of 2.1739 shares of the Company's common stock for each share of preferred stock. This resulted in the issuance of approximately 4.7 million shares of common stock. In November 2020, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to 7.5 million shares of its common stock. 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 and an additional approximately 0.5 million shares were delivered upon termination of the agreement on November 18, 2021. The total number of shares delivered was based on the volume-weighted average stock prices (VWAP) of the Company’s common stock during the ASR period of $38.30. The Company paid the full amount of the ASR in fiscal 2021 and recorded $60.0 of treasury stock representing the approximately 1.5 million shares delivered in fiscal 2021 and the remaining $15.0 was recorded as Additional paid in capital. With the delivery of the additional shares in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the $15.0 was reclassified to treasury stock on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet. Future share repurchases, if any, will be determined by the Company based on its evaluation of the market conditions, capital allocation objectives, legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. On November 15, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a cash 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. On January 31, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 of $0.30 per share of common stock, payable on March 16, 2022, to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 22, 2022. During the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, total dividends declared were $42.0 and $41.9, respectively. The payments made of $42.8 and $43.3 during the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, included the cumulative dividends paid upon the vesting of restricted shares during the periods. The Company paid a cash dividend of $1.875 per share of MCPS on October 15, 2021 which had been declared in fiscal 2021. On November 15, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $1.875 per share of MCPS to all shareholders of record as of the close of January 1, 2022, which was paid on January 15, 2022. Subsequent to the end of the fiscal quarter, on May 2, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 of $0.30 per share of common stock, payable on June 17, 2022, to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 25, 2022.

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. In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter 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 March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, 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 of 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 (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The primary currency to which Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar. Interest Rate Risk —The Company has interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. At March 31, 2022, the Company had variable rate debt outstanding of $1,188.0 under the 2020 Term Loan. In December 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap (2020 Interest rate swap) with an 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. 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 March 31, 2022. 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 the forecasted payment of inventory purchases due to short term currency fluctuations. Energizer’s foreign affiliates, which have the largest exposure 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 March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, Energizer had an unrealized pre-tax gain of $2.8 and $5.0, respectively, on these forward currency contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheets. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at March 31, 2022 levels, over the next 12 months, $2.9 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 year 2023. There were 62 open foreign currency contracts at March 31, 2022, with a total notional value of approximately $173. The Company has entered into hedging contracts on future zinc purchases to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with price volatility. The contracts are determined to be cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting. The contract maturities for these hedges extend into the third fiscal quarter of 2023. There were six open contracts at March 31, 2022, with a total notional value of approximately $21. The unrealized pre-tax gain recognized on the zinc contracts was $6.2 and $4.7 at March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively, and was included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet. At March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, Energizer recorded an unrealized pre-tax gain of $50.1 and $11.7, respectively, on the 2020 Interest rate swap agreement, both of which were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet. Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships —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 are expected to be offset by corresponding exchange losses or gains on the underlying exposures, and as such are not subject to significant market risk. There were nine open foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges at March 31, 2022, with a total notional value of approximately $96. The following table provides the Company's estimated fair values as of March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021, and the amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedges for the quarters and the six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively: At March 31, 2022 For the Quarter Ended March 31, 2022 For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2022 Derivatives designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships Estimated Fair Value Asset (1) Gain Recognized in OCI (2) Gain/(Loss) Reclassified From OCI into Income (3)(4) Gain Recognized in OCI (2) Gain/(Loss) Reclassified From OCI into Income (3) (4) Foreign currency contracts $ 2.8 $ 0.9 $ 1.8 $ 0.6 $ 2.8 Interest rate swap 50.1 32.3 (1.7) 36.8 (3.5) Zinc contracts 6.2 3.0 1.9 6.0 4.5 Total $ 59.1 $ 36.2 $ 2.0 $ 43.4 $ 3.8 At September 30, 2021 For the Quarter Ended March 31, 2021 For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2021 Derivatives designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships Estimated Fair Value Asset (1) Gain/(Loss) Recognized in OCI (2) (Loss)/Gain Reclassified From OCI into Income (3)(4) (Loss)/Gain Recognized in OCI (2) Loss Reclassified From OCI into Income (3)(4) Foreign currency contracts $ 5.0 $ 2.6 $ (3.4) $ (5.3) $ (6.0) Interest rate swap 11.7 21.5 (1.8) 16.7 (3.1) Zinc contracts 4.7 (0.7) 0.5 3.8 (0.3) Total $ 21.4 $ 23.4 $ (4.7) $ 15.2 $ (9.4) (1) All derivative assets are presented in Other current assets or Other assets. All derivative liabilities are presented in Other current liabilities or Other liabilities. (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 March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021 and the gains and losses on derivative instruments not classified as cash flow hedges for the quarters and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively: At March 31, 2022 For the Quarter Ended March 31, 2022 For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2022 Estimated Fair Value Asset (1) Gain Recognized in Income (2) Gain Recognized in Income (2) Foreign currency contracts $ 0.5 $ 1.5 $ 3.4 At September 30, 2021 For the Quarter Ended March 31, 2021 For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2021 Estimated Fair Value Liability (1) Gain Recognized in Income (2) Loss Recognized in Income (2) Foreign currency contracts $ — $ 0.3 $ (0.6) (1) All derivative assets and liabilities are presented in Other current assets or Other assets and Other current liabilities or Other liabilities, respectively.

Energizer has the following recognized financial assets 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 March 31, 2022 At September 30, 2021 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 $ 5.3 $ — $ 5.3 $ 5.8 $ (0.6) $ 5.2 Offsetting of derivative liabilities At March 31, 2022 At September 30, 2021 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 $ (2.0) $ — $ (2.0) $ (0.8) $ 0.6 $ (0.2) 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 March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021 that are measured on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy: Level 2 Assets/(Liabilities) at estimated fair value: March 31, September 30, Deferred compensation $ (27.6) $ (25.1) Derivatives - Foreign Currency contracts 2.8 5.0 Derivatives - Foreign Currency contracts (non-hedge) 0.5 — Derivatives - Interest Rate Swap contracts 50.1 11.7 Derivatives - Zinc contracts 6.2 4.7 Net Assets / (Liabilities) at estimated fair value $ 32.0 $ (3.7) Energizer had no Level 1 financial assets or liabilities, other than pension plan assets, and no Level 3 financial assets or liabilities at March 31, 2022 and September 30, 2021. Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents 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 March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2022, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $2,180.0 compared to its carrying value of $2,419.3, and at September 30, 2021, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $2,156.1 compared to its carrying value of $2,152.7. 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.

Legal proceedings/contingencies and other obligations	Legal proceedings/contingencies and other obligations Legal proceedings/contingencies - 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 our legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections and other legal proceedings 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, when taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities. Other obligations - In the ordinary course of business, the Company also enters into supply and service contracts. These contracts can include either volume commitments or fixed expiration dates, termination provisions and other standard contractual considerations. At March 31, 2022, the Company had approximately $28.5 of purchase obligations under these contracts.
