NOTE: These ratios include EnerSys and its consolidated subsidiaries. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges was computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges for the periods indicated, where “earnings” consist of (1) earnings from operations before income taxes plus (2) fixed charges, and “fixed charges” consist of (a) interest, whether expensed or capitalized, on all indebtedness, including non-cash interest accreted on Convertible Notes of $6,436 and $5,917, respectively, in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, (b) amortization of premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness, and (c) an interest component representing one-third of total operating lease rental expense, which is that portion deemed to be interest. Interest related to uncertain tax positions is included in the tax provision in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and is excluded from the computation of fixed charges.
