PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Overview

EnerSys (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) is the world’s largest manufacturer, marketer and distributor of industrial batteries. We also manufacture, market and distribute related products such as chargers, power equipment, outdoor cabinet enclosures and battery accessories, and we provide related after-market and customer-support services for industrial batteries. We market and sell our products globally to over 10,000 customers in more than 100 countries through a network of distributors, independent representatives and our internal sales force.

We operate and manage our business in three geographic regions of the world—Americas, EMEA and Asia, as described below. Our business is highly decentralized with manufacturing locations throughout the world. More than half of our manufacturing capacity is located outside of the United States, and approximately 60% of our net sales were generated outside of the United States. The Company has three reportable segments based on geographic regions, defined as follows:

• Americas, which includes North and South America, with our segment headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA;

• EMEA, which includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with our segment headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland; and

• Asia, which includes Asia, Australia and Oceania, with our segment headquarters in Singapore.

We have two primary product lines: reserve power and motive power products. Net sales classifications by product line are as follows:

• Reserve power products are used for backup power for the continuous operation of critical applications in telecommunications systems, uninterruptible power systems, or “UPS” applications for computer and computer-controlled systems, and other specialty power applications, including security systems, premium starting, lighting and ignition applications, in switchgear, electrical control systems used in electric utilities, large-scale energy storage, energy pipelines, in commercial aircraft, satellites, military aircraft, submarines, ships and tactical vehicles. Reserve power products also include thermally managed cabinets and enclosures for electronic equipment and batteries.

• Motive power products are used to provide power for electric industrial forklifts used in manufacturing, warehousing and other material handling applications as well as mining equipment, diesel locomotive starting and other rail equipment.

Additionally, see Note 22 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on segment reporting.

Fiscal Year Reporting

In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, when we refer to our fiscal years, we state “fiscal” and the year, as in “fiscal 2014”, which refers to our fiscal year ended March 31, 2014. The Company reports interim financial information for 13-week periods, except for the first quarter, which always begins on April 1, and the fourth quarter, which always ends on March 31. The four quarters in fiscal 2014 ended on June 30, 2013, September 29, 2013, December 29, 2013, and March 31, 2014, respectively. The four quarters in fiscal 2013 ended on July 1, 2012, September 30, 2012, December 30, 2012, and March 31, 2013, respectively.

History

EnerSys and its predecessor companies have been manufacturers of industrial batteries for over 125 years. Morgan Stanley Capital Partners teamed with the management of Yuasa, Inc. in late 2000 to acquire from Yuasa Corporation (Japan) its reserve power and motive power battery businesses in North and South America. We were incorporated in October 2000 for the purpose of completing the Yuasa, Inc. acquisition. On January 1, 2001, we changed our name from Yuasa, Inc. to EnerSys to reflect our focus on the energy systems nature of our businesses.

In 2004, EnerSys completed its initial public offering (the “IPO”). The Company’s registration statement (SEC File No. 333-115553) for its IPO was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Company’s common stock commenced trading on the New York Stock Exchange, under the trading symbol “ENS”.

Key Developments

There have been several key stages in the development of our business, which explain to a significant degree our results of operations over the past several years.

6

In March 2002, we acquired the reserve power and motive power business of the Energy Storage Group of Invensys plc. (“ESG”). Our successful integration of ESG provided global scale in both the reserve and motive power markets. The ESG acquisition also provided us with a further opportunity to reduce costs and improve operating efficiency that, among other initiatives, led to closing underutilized manufacturing plants, distribution facilities, sales offices and eliminating other redundant costs, including staff.

During fiscal years 2003 through 2014, we made twenty-five acquisitions around the globe.

In fiscal 2013, we announced our plans to construct a new battery manufacturing facility in Gaoyou City, Jiangsu Province, People’s Republic of China for the production of industrial batteries for Chinese and international markets. The new facility is scheduled to be completed during 2015 and will provide capacity to meet customer demand in these markets.

In fiscal 2014, we completed the acquisition of Purcell Systems, Inc., a designer, manufacturer and marketer of thermally managed electronic equipment and battery cabinet enclosures, headquartered in Spokane, Washington. With the acquisition of Purcell Systems, Inc., we will be supplementing our reserve power products with thermally managed cabinets and enclosures for electronic equipment and batteries. We also completed the acquisition of Quallion LLC, a manufacturer of lithium ion cells and batteries for high integrity applications including implantable medical devices, defense, aviation and space, headquartered in Sylmar, California. In our Asia region, we completed the acquisition of UTS Holdings Sdn. Bhd. and its subsidiaries, a distributor of motive and reserve power battery products and services.

Our Customers

We serve over 10,000 customers in over 100 countries, on a direct basis or through our distributors. We are not overly dependent on any particular end market. Our customer base is highly diverse and no single customer accounts for more than 5% of our revenues.

Our reserve power customers consist of regional customers as well as global customers. These customers are in diverse markets including telecom, UPS, electric utilities, security systems, emergency lighting, premium starting, lighting and ignition applications and space satellites. In addition, we sell our aerospace and defense products in numerous countries, including the governments of the U.S., Germany and the U.K. and to major defense and aviation original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”).

Our motive power products are sold to a large, diversified customer base. These customers include material handling equipment dealers, OEMs and end users of such equipment. End users include manufacturers, distributors, warehouse operators, retailers, airports, mine operators and railroads.

Distribution and Services

We distribute, sell and service reserve and motive power products throughout the world, principally through company-owned sales and service facilities, as well as through independent manufacturers’ representatives. This company-owned network allows us to offer high-quality service, including preventative maintenance programs and customer support. Our warehouses and service locations enable us to respond quickly to customers in the markets we serve. We believe that the extensive industry experience of our sales organization results in strong long-term customer relationships.

Manufacturing and Raw Materials

We manufacture and assemble our products at manufacturing facilities located in the Americas, EMEA and Asia. With a view toward projected demand, we strive to optimize and balance capacity at our battery manufacturing facilities globally, while simultaneously minimizing our product cost. By taking a global view of our manufacturing requirements and capacity, we are better able to anticipate potential capacity bottlenecks and equipment and capital funding needs.

The primary raw materials used to manufacture our products include lead, plastics, steel and copper. We purchase lead from a number of leading suppliers throughout the world. Because lead is traded on the world’s commodity markets and its price fluctuates daily, we periodically enter into hedging arrangements for a portion of our projected requirements to reduce the volatility of our costs.

Competition

The industrial battery market is highly competitive both among competitors who manufacture and sell industrial batteries and among customers who purchase industrial batteries. Our competitors range from development stage companies to large domestic and international corporations. Certain of our competitors produce energy storage products utilizing technologies that

7

we do not possess at this time. We compete primarily on the basis of reputation, product quality, reliability of service, delivery and price. We believe that our products and services are competitively priced.

Americas

We believe that we have the largest market share in the Americas industrial battery market. We compete principally with Exide Technologies, East Penn Manufacturing and New Power in the reserve and motive products markets; and C&D Technologies Inc., NorthStar Battery, SAFT and EaglePicher (OM Group) in the reserve products market.

EMEA

We believe that we have the largest market share in the European industrial battery market. Our primary competitors are Exide Technologies, Hoppecke, FIAMM, SAFT as well as Chinese producers in the reserve products market; and Exide Technologies, Hoppecke and Midac in the motive products market.

Asia

We have a small share of the fragmented Asian industrial battery market. We compete principally with GS-Yuasa, Shin-Kobe and Zibo Torch in the motive products market and Coslight, Amara Raja, Narada, Leoch, Exide Industries and China Shoto in the reserve products market.

Warranties

Warranties for our products vary geographically and by product type and are competitive with other suppliers of these types of products. Generally, our reserve power product warranties range from one to twenty years and our motive power product warranties range from one to seven years. The length of our warranties is varied to reflect regional characteristics and competitive influences. In some cases, our warranty period may include a pro rata period, which is typically based around the design life of the product and the application served. Our warranties generally cover defects in workmanship and materials and are limited to specific usage parameters.

Intellectual Property

We have numerous patents and patent licenses in the United States and other jurisdictions but do not consider any one patent to be material to our business. From time to time, we apply for patents on new inventions and designs, but we believe that the growth of our business will depend primarily upon the quality of our products and our relationships with our customers, rather than the extent of our patent protection.

We believe we are leaders in thin plate pure lead technology ("TPPL"). Some aspects of this technology may be patented in the future. In any event, we believe that a significant capital investment would be required by any party desiring to produce products using TPPL technology for our markets.

We own or possess exclusive and non-exclusive licenses and other rights to use a number of trademarks in various jurisdictions. We have obtained registrations for many of these trademarks in the United States and other jurisdictions. Our various trademark registrations currently have durations of approximately 10 to 20 years, varying by mark and jurisdiction of registration and may be renewable. We endeavor to keep all of our material registrations current. We believe that many such rights and licenses are important to our business by helping to develop strong brand-name recognition in the marketplace. Some of the significant (registered and unregistered) trademarks that we use include: ArmaSafePlus, Cyclon, DataSafe, Deserthog, Douglas Battery, Douglas Legacy, EAS, Energia, EnerSystem, Energy Leader, FlexSure, FIAMM Motive Power, General Battery, Genesis, Hawker, Huada, HUP, Ironclad, LifeGuard, LifePlus, Life Speed, LifeTech, Loadhog, Odyssey, Oerlikon Battery, Oldham, Perfect Plus, PowerGuard, PowerSafe, ProSeries, Purcell Systems, Quallion, Redion, Smarthog, Superhog, Supersafe, TeleData, Waterless, Wi-IQ, Workhog and XFC.

Today, our reserve power batteries are marketed and sold principally under the ABSL, ABSL Space, ArmaSafePlus, Cyclon, DataSafe, Genesis, Hawker, Huada, Odyssey, Oerlikon Battery, PowerSafe, Quallion and SuperSafe brands. Our motive power batteries are marketed and sold principally under the Douglas Battery, Express, Fiamm Motive Power, General Battery, Hawker, Huada and Ironclad brands. We also manufacture and sell related “DC” (Direct Current) power products including chargers, electronic power equipment and a wide variety of battery accessories. Our battery products span a broad range of sizes, configurations and electrical capacities, enabling us to meet a wide variety of customer applications.

8

Seasonality

Our business generally does not experience significant quarterly fluctuations in net sales as a result of weather or other trends that can be directly linked to seasonality patterns, but historically our fourth quarter is our best quarter with higher revenues and generally more working days and our second quarter is the weakest due to the summer holiday season in Western Europe and Americas.

Product and Process Development

Our product and process development efforts are focused on the creation and optimization of new battery products using existing technologies, which, in certain cases, differentiate our stored energy solutions from that of our competition. We allocate our resources to the following key areas:

• the design and development of new products;

• optimizing and expanding our existing product offering;

• waste and scrap reduction;

• production efficiency and utilization;

• capacity expansion without additional facilities; and

• quality attribute maximization.

Employees

At March 31, 2014, we had approximately 9,500 employees. Of these employees, approximately 34% were covered by collective bargaining agreements. Employees covered by agreements that did not exceed twelve months were approximately 13%. The average term of these agreements is two years, with the longest term being four years.

We consider our employee relations to be good. We did not experience any significant labor unrest or disruption of production during fiscal 2014.

Environmental Matters

In the manufacture of our products throughout the world, we process, store, dispose of and otherwise use large amounts of hazardous materials, especially lead and acid. As a result, we are subject to extensive and evolving environmental, health and safety laws and regulations governing, among other things: the generation, handling, storage, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials; emissions or discharges of hazardous materials into the ground, air or water; and the health and safety of our employees. In addition, we are required to comply with the regulation issued from the European Economic Union called Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals or “REACH,” that came into force on June 1, 2007. Under the regulation, companies which manufacture or import more than one ton of a covered chemical substance per year are required to register it in a central database administered by the European Chemicals Agency. REACH requires a registration over a period of 11 years. Compliance with these laws and regulations results in ongoing costs. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations, or to obtain or comply with required environmental permits, could result in fines, criminal charges or other sanctions by regulators. From time to time, we have had instances of alleged or actual noncompliance that have resulted in the imposition of fines, penalties and required corrective actions. Our ongoing compliance with environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and permits could require us to incur significant expenses, limit our ability to modify or expand our facilities or continue production and require us to install additional pollution control equipment and make other capital improvements. In addition, private parties, including current or former employees, can bring personal injury or other claims against us due to the presence of, or their exposure to, hazardous substances used, stored, transported or disposed of by us or contained in our products.

Sumter, South Carolina

We currently are responsible for certain environmental obligations at our former battery facility in Sumter, South Carolina that predate our ownership of this facility. This battery facility was closed in 2001 and is separate from our current metal fabrication facility in Sumter. We have a reserve for this facility that totaled $2.9 million as of March 31, 2014. Based on current information, we believe this reserve is adequate to satisfy our environmental liabilities at this facility.

Environmental and safety certifications

Thirteen of our facilities in the Americas, EMEA and Asia are certified to ISO 14001 standards. ISO 14001 is a globally recognized, voluntary program that focuses on the implementation, maintenance and continual improvement of an

9

environmental management system and the improvement of environmental performance. Two facilities in Europe and one in Africa are certified to OHSAS 18001 standards. OHSAS 18001 is a globally recognized occupational health and safety management systems standard.

Quality Systems

We utilize a global strategy for quality management systems, policies and procedures, the basis of which is the ISO 9001:2008 standard, which is a worldwide recognized quality standard. We believe in the principles of this standard and reinforce this by requiring mandatory compliance for all manufacturing, sales and service locations globally that are registered to the ISO 9001 standard. This strategy enables us to provide consistent quality products and services to meet our customers’ needs.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following risks and uncertainties, as well as others described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, could materially and adversely affect our business, our results of operations and financial conditions and could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and projections. Stockholders are cautioned that these and other factors, including those beyond our control, may affect future performance and cause actual results to differ from those which may, from time to time, be anticipated. There may be additional risks that are not presently material or known. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” All forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf are qualified by the risks described below.

We operate in an extremely competitive industry and are subject to pricing pressures.

We compete with a number of major international manufacturers and distributors, as well as a large number of smaller, regional competitors. Due to excess capacity in some sectors of our industry and consolidation among industrial battery purchasers, we have been subjected to significant pricing pressures. We anticipate continued competitive pricing pressure as foreign producers are able to employ labor at significantly lower costs than producers in the U.S. and Western Europe, expand their export capacity and increase their marketing presence in our major Americas and European markets. Several of our competitors have strong technical, marketing, sales, manufacturing, distribution and other resources, as well as significant name recognition, established positions in the market and long-standing relationships with OEMs and other customers. In addition, certain of our competitors own lead smelting facilities which, during periods of lead cost increases or price volatility, may provide a competitive pricing advantage and reduce their exposure to volatile raw material costs. Our ability to maintain and improve our operating margins has depended, and continues to depend, on our ability to control and reduce our costs. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to control our operating expenses, to raise or maintain our prices or increase our unit volume, in order to maintain or improve our operating results.

The uncertainty in global economic conditions could negatively affect the Company’s operating results.

Our operating results are directly affected by the general global economic conditions of the industries in which our major customer groups operate. Our business segments are highly dependent on the economic and market conditions in each of the geographic areas in which we operate. Our products are heavily dependent on the end markets that we serve and our operating results will vary by geographic segment, depending on the economic environment in these markets. Sales of our motive power products, for example, depend significantly on demand for new electric industrial forklift trucks, which in turn depends on end-user demand for additional motive capacity in their distribution and manufacturing facilities. The uncertainty in global economic conditions varies by geographic segment, and can result in substantial volatility in global credit markets, particularly in the United States, where we service the vast majority of our debt. These conditions affect our business by reducing prices that our customers may be able or willing to pay for our products or by reducing the demand for our products, which could in turn negatively impact our sales and earnings generation and result in a material adverse effect on our business, cash flow, results of operations and financial position.

10

Government reviews, inquiries, investigations, and actions could harm our business or reputation.

 As we operate in various locations around the world, our operations in certain countries are subject to significant governmental scrutiny and may be adversely impacted by the results of such scrutiny. The regulatory environment with regard to our business is evolving, and officials often exercise broad discretion in deciding how to interpret and apply applicable regulations. From time to time, we receive formal and informal inquiries from various government regulatory authorities, as well as self-regulatory organizations, about our business and compliance with local laws, regulations or standards. Any determination that our operations or activities, or the activities of our employees, are not in compliance with existing laws, regulations or standards could result in the imposition of substantial fines, interruptions of business, loss of supplier, vendor or other third-party relationships, termination of necessary licenses and permits, or similar results, all of which could potentially harm our business and/or reputation. Even if an inquiry does not result in these types of determinations, regulatory authorities could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner materially adverse to our business, and it potentially could create negative publicity which could harm our business and/or reputation.

Risk of accelerated conversion or required repurchase of Convertible Notes which could adversely affect the Company’s liquidity.

Under the terms of our senior unsecured 3.375% convertible notes ("Convertible Notes"), a holder of such Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase some or all of the holder’s Convertible Notes for cash upon the occurrence of a fundamental change as defined in the indenture and on each of June 1, 2015, 2018, 2023, 2028 and 2033 at a price equal to 100% of the accreted principal amount of the Convertible Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in each case. Additionally, the holders are permitted to convert their Convertible Notes at their option at any time commencing March 1, 2015 or under any of the following conditions prior to that date: (1) during the five business-day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the price per $1,000 in original principal amount of the Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the “last reported sale price” (as defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes) of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate for the Convertible Notes for such day; (2) during any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2008 (and only during such quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, the Company may settle conversions (a) entirely in shares of its common stock, (b) entirely in cash, or (c) in cash for the accreted principal amount of the Convertible Notes and shares of its common stock, or cash and shares of its common stock, for the excess, if any, of the conversion value above the accreted principal amount. As of April 1, 2014, the Company has $172.5 million of Convertible Notes outstanding, and the Convertible Notes have become convertible through June 30, 2014.

It is the Company’s current intent to settle the principal amount of any such conversions in cash, and any additional conversion consideration at the conversion rate then applicable in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares. To the extent that then existing domestic cash balances and cash flow from operations, together with borrowing capacity under then existing credit facilities, are insufficient to satisfy any such settlement or optional put or conversion, the Company may require additional financing from other sources. The Company’s ability to obtain such additional financing in the future will depend in part upon prevailing capital market conditions, as well as conditions in the Company’s business and its operating results; and those factors may affect its efforts to arrange additional financing on terms that are acceptable to the Company. The Convertible Notes will mature on June 1, 2038, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by the Company.

Reliance on third party relationships and derivative agreements could adversely affect the Company’s business.

We depend on third parties, including suppliers, distributors, lead toll operators, freight forwarders, insurance brokers, commodity brokers, major financial institutions and other third party service providers, for key aspects of our business including the provision of derivative contracts to manage risks of: (a) lead cost volatility, (b) foreign currency exposures and (c) interest rate volatility. Failure of these third parties to meet their contractual, regulatory and other obligations to the Company or the development of factors that materially disrupt our relationships with these third parties could expose us to the risks of business disruption, higher lead costs, unfavorable foreign currency rates and higher expenses, which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our raw materials costs are volatile and expose us to significant movements in our product costs.

Lead is our most significant raw material and is used along with significant amounts of plastics, steel, copper and other materials in our manufacturing processes. We estimate that raw material costs account for over half of our cost of goods sold. The costs of these raw materials, particularly lead, are volatile and beyond our control. Volatile raw material costs can

11

significantly affect our operating results and make period-to-period comparisons extremely difficult. We cannot assure you that we will be able to hedge the costs of our raw material requirements at a reasonable level or, even with respect to our agreements that adjust pricing to a market-based index for lead, pass on to our customers the increased costs of our raw materials.

Our operations expose us to litigation, tax, environmental and other legal compliance risks.

We are subject to a variety of litigation, tax, environmental, health and safety and other legal compliance risks. These risks include, among other things, possible liability relating to product liability matters, personal injuries, intellectual property rights, contract-related claims, government contracts, taxes, health and safety liabilities, environmental matters and compliance with U.S. and foreign laws, competition laws and laws governing improper business practices. We or one of our business units could be charged with wrongdoing as a result of such matters. If convicted or found liable, we could be subject to significant fines, penalties, repayments or other damages (in certain cases, treble damages). As a global business, we are subject to complex laws and regulations in the U.S. and other countries in which we operate. Those laws and regulations may be interpreted in different ways. They may also change from time to time, as may related interpretations and other guidance. Changes in laws or regulations could result in higher expenses and payments, and uncertainty relating to laws or regulations may also affect how we conduct our operations and structure our investments and could limit our ability to enforce our rights.

In the area of taxes, changes in tax laws and regulations, as well as changes in related interpretations and other tax guidance could materially impact our tax receivables and liabilities and our deferred tax assets and tax liabilities. Additionally, in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to examinations by various authorities, including tax authorities. In addition to ongoing investigations, there could be additional investigations launched in the future by governmental authorities in various jurisdictions and existing investigations could be expanded. The global and diverse nature of our operations means that these risks will continue to exist and additional legal proceedings and contingencies will arise from time to time. Our results may be affected by the outcome of legal proceedings and other contingencies that cannot be predicted with certainty.

In the manufacture of our products throughout the world, we process, store, dispose of and otherwise use large amounts of hazardous materials, especially lead and acid. As a result, we are subject to extensive and changing environmental, health and safety laws and regulations governing, among other things: the generation, handling, storage, use, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials; remediation of polluted ground or water; emissions or discharges of hazardous materials into the ground, air or water; and the health and safety of our employees. Compliance with these laws and regulations results in ongoing costs. Failure to comply with these laws or regulations, or to obtain or comply with required environmental permits, could result in fines, criminal charges or other sanctions by regulators. From time to time we have had instances of alleged or actual noncompliance that have resulted in the imposition of fines, penalties and required corrective actions. Our ongoing compliance with environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and permits could require us to incur significant expenses, limit our ability to modify or expand our facilities or continue production and require us to install additional pollution control equipment and make other capital improvements. In addition, private parties, including current or former employees, could bring personal injury or other claims against us due to the presence of, or exposure to, hazardous substances used, stored or disposed of by us or contained in our products.

Certain environmental laws assess liability on owners or operators of real property for the cost of investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous substances at their current or former properties or at properties at which they have disposed of hazardous substances. These laws may also assess costs to repair damage to natural resources. We may be responsible for remediating damage to our properties that was caused by former owners. Soil and groundwater contamination has occurred at some of our current and former properties and may occur or be discovered at other properties in the future. We are currently investigating and monitoring soil and groundwater contamination at several of our properties, in most cases as required by regulatory permitting processes. We may be required to conduct these operations at other properties in the future. In addition, we have been and in the future may be liable to contribute to the cleanup of locations owned or operated by other persons to which we or our predecessor companies have sent wastes for disposal, pursuant to federal and other environmental laws. Under these laws, the owner or operator of contaminated properties and companies that generated, disposed of or arranged for the disposal of wastes sent to a contaminated disposal facility can be held jointly and severally liable for the investigation and cleanup of such properties, regardless of fault.

Changes in environmental and climate laws or regulations, including laws relating to greenhouse gas emissions, could lead to new or additional investment in production designs and could increase environmental compliance expenditures. Changes in climate change concerns, or in the regulation of such concerns, including greenhouse gas emissions, could subject us to additional costs and restrictions, including increased energy and raw materials costs. Additionally, we cannot assure you that we have been or at all times will be in compliance with environmental laws and regulations or that we will not be required to expend significant funds to comply with, or discharge liabilities arising under, environmental laws, regulations and permits, or that we will not be exposed to material environmental, health or safety litigation.

12

Also, the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws in non-U.S. jurisdictions generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to non-U.S. officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. The FCPA applies to companies, individual directors, officers, employees and agents. Under the FCPA, U.S. companies may be held liable for actions taken by strategic or local partners or representatives. The FCPA also imposes accounting standards and requirements on publicly traded U.S. corporations and their foreign affiliates, which are intended to prevent the diversion of corporate funds to the payment of bribes and other improper payments. Certain of our customer relationships outside of the U.S. are with governmental entities and are therefore subject to such anti-bribery laws. Our policies mandate compliance with these anti-bribery laws. Despite meaningful measures that we undertake to facilitate lawful conduct, which include training and internal control policies, these measures may not always prevent reckless or criminal acts by our employees or agents. As a result, we could be subject to criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement, further changes or enhancements to our procedures, policies and controls, personnel changes or other remedial actions. Violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our operations, involve significant management distraction and result in a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

There is also a regulation to improve the transparency and accountability concerning the supply of minerals coming from the conflict zones in and around the Democratic Republic of Congo. New U.S. legislation includes disclosure requirements regarding the use of conflict minerals mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries and procedures regarding a manufacturer’s efforts to prevent the sourcing of such conflict minerals. The implementation of these requirements could affect the sourcing and availability of minerals used in the manufacture of our products. As a result, there may only be a limited pool of suppliers who provide conflict-free metals, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain products in sufficient quantities or at competitive prices. Future regulations may become more stringent or costly and our compliance costs and potential liabilities could increase, which may harm our business.

We are exposed to exchange rate risks, and our net earnings and financial condition may suffer due to currency translations.

We invoice our foreign sales and service transactions in local and foreign currencies and translate net sales using actual exchange rates during the period. We translate our non-U.S. assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates as of the balance sheet dates. Because a significant portion of our revenues and expenses are denominated in foreign currencies, changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies, primarily the euro, British pound, Polish zloty, Chinese renminbi, Mexican peso and Swiss franc may adversely affect our revenue, cost of goods sold and operating margins. For example, foreign currency depreciation against the U.S. dollar will reduce the value of our foreign revenues and operating earnings as well as reduce our net investment in foreign subsidiaries. Approximately 60% of net sales were generated outside of the United States for the last three fiscal years.

Most of the risk of fluctuating foreign currencies is in our EMEA segment, which comprised approximately 40% of our net sales during the last three fiscal years. The euro is the dominant currency in our EMEA operations. In the event that one or more European countries were to replace the euro with another currency, our sales into such countries, or into Europe generally, would likely be adversely affected until stable exchange rates are established.

The translation impact from currency fluctuations on net sales and operating earnings in Americas and Asia segments are not significant, as a substantial majority of these net sales and operating earnings are in U.S. dollars or foreign currencies that have been closely correlated to the U.S. dollar.

If foreign currencies depreciate against the U.S. dollar, it would make it more expensive for our non-U.S. subsidiaries to purchase certain of our raw material commodities that are priced globally in U.S. dollars, while the related revenue will decrease when translated to U.S. dollars. Significant movements in foreign exchange rates can have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition. We periodically engage in hedging of our foreign currency exposures, but cannot assure you that we can successfully hedge all of our foreign currency exposures or do so at a reasonable cost.

We quantify and monitor our global foreign currency exposures. Our largest foreign currency exposure is from the purchase and conversion of U.S. dollar based lead costs into local currencies in Europe. Additionally, we have currency exposures from intercompany financing and trade transactions. On a selective basis, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts to reduce the impact from the volatility of currency movements; however, we cannot be certain that foreign currency fluctuations will not impact our operations in the future.

Our international operations may be adversely affected by actions taken by foreign governments or other forces or events over which we may have no control.

We currently have significant manufacturing and/or distribution facilities outside of the United States, in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, People’s Republic of China, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Tunisia and the United Kingdom. We may face political instability, economic

13

uncertainty, and/or difficult labor relations in our foreign operations. We also may face barriers in the form of long-standing relationships between potential customers and their existing suppliers, national policies favoring domestic manufacturers and protective regulations including exchange controls, restrictions on foreign investment or the repatriation of profits or invested capital, changes in export or import restrictions and changes in the tax system or rate of taxation in countries where we do business. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully develop and expand our international operations and sales or that we will be able to overcome the significant obstacles and risks of our international operations.

Our failure to introduce new products and product enhancements and broad market acceptance of new technologies introduced by our competitors could adversely affect our business.

Many new energy storage technologies have been introduced over the past several years. For certain important and growing markets, such as aerospace and defense, lithium-based battery technologies have a large and growing market share. Our ability to achieve significant and sustained penetration of key developing markets, including aerospace and defense, will depend upon our success in developing or acquiring these and other technologies, either independently, through joint ventures or through acquisitions. If we fail to develop or acquire, and manufacture and sell, products that satisfy our customers’ demands, or we fail to respond effectively to new product announcements by our competitors by quickly introducing competitive products, then market acceptance of our products could be reduced and our business could be adversely affected. We cannot assure you that our lead-acid products will remain competitive with products based on new technologies.

We may not be able to adequately protect our proprietary intellectual property and technology.

We rely on a combination of copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret laws, non-disclosure agreements and other confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to establish, protect and maintain our proprietary intellectual property and technology and other confidential information. Certain of these technologies, especially TPPL technology, are important to our business and are not protected by patents. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary intellectual property and technology and other confidential information, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our intellectual property and proprietary technologies.

Relocation of our customers’ operations could adversely affect our business.

The trend by a number of our North American and Western European customers to move manufacturing operations and expand their businesses in faster growing and low labor-cost markets may have an adverse impact on our business. As our customers in traditional manufacturing-based industries seek to move their manufacturing operations to these locations, there is a risk that these customers will source their energy storage products from competitors located in those territories and will cease or reduce the purchase of products from our manufacturing plants. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively with manufacturing operations of energy storage products in those territories, whether by establishing or expanding our manufacturing operations in those lower-cost territories or acquiring existing manufacturers.

We may fail to implement our cost reduction initiatives successfully and improve our profitability.

We must continue to implement cost reduction initiatives to achieve additional cost savings in future periods. We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve all of the cost savings that we expect to realize from current or future initiatives. In particular, we may be unable to implement one or more of our initiatives successfully or we may experience unexpected cost increases that offset the savings that we achieve. Given the continued competitive pricing pressures experienced in our industry, our failure to realize cost savings would adversely affect our results of operations.

Quality problems with our products could harm our reputation and erode our competitive position.

The success of our business will depend upon the quality of our products and our relationships with customers. In the event that our products fail to meet our customers’ standards, our reputation could be harmed, which would adversely affect our marketing and sales efforts. We cannot assure you that our customers will not experience quality problems with our products.

We offer our products under a variety of brand names, the protection of which is important to our reputation for quality in the consumer marketplace.

We rely upon a combination of trademark, licensing and contractual covenants to establish and protect the brand names of our products. We have registered many of our trademarks in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and in other countries. In many market segments, our reputation is closely related to our brand names. Monitoring unauthorized use of our brand names is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent their unauthorized use, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the U.S. We cannot assure you that our brand

14

names will not be misappropriated or utilized without our consent or that such actions will not have a material adverse effect on our reputation and on our results of operations.

We may fail to implement our plans to make acquisitions or successfully integrate them into our operations.

As part of our business strategy, we have grown, and plan to continue growing, by acquiring other product lines, technologies or facilities that complement or expand our existing business. There is significant competition for acquisition targets in the industrial battery industry. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates or negotiate attractive terms. In addition, we may have difficulty obtaining the financing necessary to complete transactions we pursue. In that regard, our credit facilities restrict the amount of additional indebtedness that we may incur to finance acquisitions and place other restrictions on our ability to make acquisitions. Exceeding any of these restrictions would require the consent of our lenders. We may be unable to successfully integrate any assets, liabilities, customers, systems and management personnel we acquire into our operations and we may not be able to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames. Our failure to execute our acquisition strategy could have a material adverse effect on our business. We cannot assure you that our acquisition strategy will be successful or that we will be able to successfully integrate acquisitions we do make.

Any acquisitions that we complete may dilute stockholder ownership interests in EnerSys, may have adverse effects on our financial condition and results of operations and may cause unanticipated liabilities.

Future acquisitions may involve the issuance of our equity securities as payment, in part or in full, for the businesses or assets acquired. Any future issuances of equity securities would dilute stockholder ownership interests. In addition, future acquisitions might not increase, and may even decrease our earnings or earnings per share and the benefits derived by us from an acquisition might not outweigh or might not exceed the dilutive effect of the acquisition. We also may incur additional debt or suffer adverse tax and accounting consequences in connection with any future acquisitions.

The failure or security breach of critical computer systems could seriously affect our sales and operations.

We operate a number of critical computer systems throughout our business that can fail for a variety of reasons. If such a failure were to occur, we may not be able to sufficiently recover from the failure in time to avoid the loss of data or any adverse impact on certain of our operations that are dependent on such systems. This could result in lost sales and the inefficient operation of our facilities for the duration of such a failure.

We operate a number of critical computer systems throughout our business for the exchange of information both within the company and in communicating with third parties. Despite our efforts to protect the integrity of our systems and network as well as sensitive, confidential or personal data or information, our facilities and systems and those of our third-party service providers may be vulnerable to security breaches, theft, misplaced or lost data, programming and/or human errors that could potentially lead to the compromising of sensitive, confidential or personal data or information, improper use of our systems, software solutions or networks, unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification or destruction of information, defective products, production downtimes and operational disruptions, which in turn could adversely affect our reputation, competitiveness, and results of operations.

Our ability to maintain adequate credit facilities.

Our ability to continue our ongoing business operations and fund future growth depends on our ability to maintain adequate credit facilities and to comply with the financial and other covenants in such credit facilities or to secure alternative sources of financing. However, such credit facilities or alternate financing may not be available or, if available, may not be on terms favorable to us.

Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

As of March 31, 2014, we had $322.3 million of total consolidated debt (including capital lease obligations and net of the discount on the Convertible Notes). This level of debt could:

• increase our vulnerability to adverse general economic and industry conditions, including interest rate fluctuations, because a portion of our borrowings bear, and will continue to bear, interest at floating rates;

• require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to debt service payments, which would reduce the availability of our cash to fund working capital, capital expenditures or other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions;

• limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry;

• restrict our ability to introduce new products or new technologies or exploit business opportunities;

15

• place us at a disadvantage compared with competitors that have proportionately less debt;

• limit our ability to borrow additional funds in the future, if we need them, due to financial and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements;

• have a material adverse effect on us if we fail to comply with the financial and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements; and

• dilute share ownership percentage if the Company’s share price, at the time of conversion, is higher than the Convertible Notes’ conversion price of $40.26 per share and the Company does not settle the Convertible Notes, including any optional conversions, solely in cash.

There can be no assurance that we will continue to declare cash dividends at all or in any particular amounts.

During fiscal 2014, we announced the declaration of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share of common stock for quarters ended June 30, 2013, September 29, 2013, December 29, 2013 and March 31, 2014. On May 7, 2014, we announced a fiscal 2015 first quarter cash dividend of $0.175 per share of common stock. Future payment of a regular quarterly cash dividend on our common shares will be subject to, among other things, our results of operations, cash balances and future cash requirements, financial condition, statutory requirements of Delaware law, compliance with the terms of existing and future indebtedness and credit facilities, and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant. Our dividend payments may change from time to time, and we cannot provide assurance that we will continue to declare dividends at all or in any particular amounts. A reduction in or elimination of our dividend payments could have a negative effect on our share price.

We depend on our senior management team and other key employees, and significant attrition within our management team or unsuccessful succession planning could adversely affect our business.

Our success depends in part on our ability to attract, retain and motivate senior management and other key employees. Achieving this objective may be difficult due to many factors, including fluctuations in global economic and industry conditions, competitors’ hiring practices, cost reduction activities, and the effectiveness of our compensation programs. Competition for qualified personnel can be very intense. We must continue to recruit, retain and motivate senior management and other key employees sufficient to maintain our current business and support our future projects. We are vulnerable to attrition among our current senior management team and other key employees. A loss of any such personnel, or the inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel in the future, could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, certain key members of our senior management team are at or nearing retirement age. If we are unsuccessful in our succession planning efforts, the continuity of our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Holders of Record

As of May 23, 2014, there were approximately 384 record holders of common stock of the Company. Because many of these shares are held by brokers and other institutions on behalf of stockholders, the Company is unable to estimate the total number of stockholders represented by these record holders.

Dividends

During fiscal 2014, we announced and paid our first quarterly cash dividend of $0.125 per share of common stock for the quarters ended June 30, 2013, September 29, 2013, December 29, 2013 and March 31, 2014. On May 7, 2014, we announced our first quarter cash dividend of fiscal 2015 of $0.175 per share of common stock. The declaration of cash dividends on our common stock is at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and any decision to declare a dividend is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, earnings, prospects, financial condition, applicable covenants under our credit agreements and other contractual restrictions, Delaware law and other factors deemed relevant.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, opinions, expectations, anticipations and intentions and beliefs. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in those forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Business” and “Risk Factors,” sections elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the following discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition, certain financial measures may be considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission rules. These rules require supplemental explanation and reconciliation, which is provided in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

EnerSys’ management uses the non-GAAP measures, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, in its computation of compliance with loan covenants. These measures, as used by EnerSys, adjust net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain charges or credits as permitted by our credit agreements, that were recorded during the periods presented.

EnerSys’ management uses the non-GAAP measures, Primary Working Capital and Primary Working Capital Percentage (see definition in “Overview” below) along with capital expenditures, in its evaluation of business segment cash flow and financial position performance.

These non-GAAP disclosures have limitations as analytical tools, should not be viewed as a substitute for cash flow or operating earnings determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. This supplemental presentation should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to operating earnings determined in accordance with GAAP.

Overview

EnerSys (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) is the world’s largest manufacturer, marketer and distributor of industrial batteries. We also manufacture, market and distribute products such as battery chargers, power equipment, battery accessories, and outdoor equipment enclosure solutions. Additionally, we provide related aftermarket and customer-support services for our products. We market our products globally to over 10,000 customers in more than 100 countries through a network of distributors, independent representatives and our internal sales force.

We operate and manage our business in three geographic regions of the world—Americas, EMEA and Asia, as described below. Our business is highly decentralized with manufacturing locations throughout the world. More than half of our manufacturing capacity is located outside the United States, and approximately 60% of our net sales were generated outside the United States. The Company has three reportable business segments based on geographic regions, defined as follows:

• Americas, which includes North and South America, with our segment headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA;

• EMEA, which includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with our segment headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland; and

• Asia, which includes Asia, Australia and Oceania, with our segment headquarters in Singapore.

We evaluate business segment performance based primarily upon operating earnings exclusive of highlighted items. Highlighted items are those that the Company deems are not indicative of ongoing operating results, including those charges that the Company incurs as a result of restructuring activities and those charges and credits that are not directly related to ongoing business segment performance. All corporate and centrally incurred costs are allocated to the business segments based principally on net sales. We evaluate business segment cash flow and financial position performance based primarily upon capital expenditures and primary working capital levels (see definition of primary working capital in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below). Although we monitor the three elements of primary working capital (receivables, inventory and payables), our primary focus is on the total amount due to the significant impact it has on our cash flow.

22

Our management structure, financial reporting systems, and associated internal controls and procedures, are all consistent with our three geographic business segments. We report on a March 31 fiscal year-end. Our financial results are largely driven by the following factors:

• global economic conditions and general cyclical patterns of the industries in which our customers operate;

• changes in our selling prices and, in periods when our product costs increase, our ability to raise our selling prices to pass such cost increases through to our customers;

• the extent to which we are able to efficiently utilize our global manufacturing facilities and optimize our capacity;

• the extent to which we can control our fixed and variable costs, including those for our raw materials, manufacturing, distribution and operating activities;

• changes in our level of debt and changes in the variable interest rates under our credit facilities; and

• the size and number of acquisitions and our ability to achieve their intended benefits.

We have two primary product lines: reserve power products and motive power products. Net sales classifications by product line are as follows:

• Reserve power products are used for backup power for the continuous operation of critical applications in telecommunications systems, uninterruptible power systems, or “UPS” applications for computer and computer-controlled systems, and other specialty power applications, including security systems, premium starting, lighting and ignition applications, in switchgear, electrical control systems used in electric utilities, large-scale energy storage, energy pipelines, in commercial aircraft, satellites, military aircraft, submarines, ships and tactical vehicles. Reserve power products also include thermally managed cabinets and enclosures for electronic equipment and batteries.

• Motive power products are used to provide power for electric industrial forklifts used in manufacturing, warehousing and other material handling applications as well as mining equipment, diesel locomotive starting and other rail equipment.

During fiscal 2014, we completed the acquisition of Purcell Systems, Inc., a designer, manufacturer and marketer of thermally managed electronic equipment and battery cabinet enclosures, headquartered in Spokane, Washington. We also completed the acquisition of Quallion LLC, a manufacturer of lithium ion cells and batteries for high integrity applications including implantable medical devices, defense, aviation and space, headquartered in Sylmar, California. Additionally, we completed the acquisition of UTS Holdings Sdn. Bhd. and its subsidiaries, a distributor of motive and reserve power battery products and services, headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Current Market Conditions

Economic Climate

Recent indicators continue to suggest a mixed trend in economic activity among the different geographical regions. The Americas economic activity continues to strengthen. Our overall Asia region's economic growth is slowing but has been positively impacted by increased capital spending in telecommunications. The EMEA economy appears to have stabilized and should experience flat to moderate growth.

Volatility of Commodities and Foreign Currencies

Our most significant commodity and foreign currency exposures are related to lead and the euro. Historically, volatility of commodity costs and foreign currency exchange rates have caused large swings in our production costs. As the global economic climate changes, we anticipate that our commodity costs may continue to fluctuate as they have in the past several years. Overall, on a consolidated basis, we have experienced stable trends more recently in our revenue and order rates and commodity cost changes have not been substantial.

Customer Pricing

Our selling prices fluctuated during the last several years to offset the volatile cost of commodities. Approximately 35% of our revenue is currently subject to agreements that adjust pricing to a market-based index for lead. During fiscal 2014, our selling prices increased slightly, compared to the comparable prior year periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our financial position is strong and we have substantial liquidity with $240 million of available cash and cash equivalents and undrawn committed and uncommitted credit lines of approximately $360 million at March 31, 2014 to cover

23

short-term liquidity requirements and anticipated growth in the foreseeable future. Our $350 million 2011 senior secured revolving credit facility (“2011 Credit Facility”), which we entered into in March 2011, is committed through September 2018 as long as we continue to comply with its covenants and conditions. The facility includes an early termination provision under which the Company is required to meet a liquidity test in February 2015 related to its capacity to meet certain potential funding obligations of the $172.5 million Convertible Notes in June 2015 at a conversion price of $40.26. It is our current intent to settle the principal amount of any such conversion in cash, and any additional optional conversions in cash, shares of EnerSys common stock or a combination of cash and shares.

Current market conditions related to our liquidity and capital resources are favorable. In August 2013, we amended our 2011 Credit Facility gaining additional flexibility in terms and extending maturity to September 2018. We believe current conditions remain favorable for the Company to have continued positive cash flow from operations that, along with available cash and cash equivalents and our undrawn lines of credit, will be sufficient to fund our capital expenditures, acquisitions and other investments for growth.

The Convertible Notes became convertible at the option of the holders effective January 2, 2014, as described in Note 8. If the Convertible Notes holders would exercise their conversion rights, we would pay the principal amount by drawing on our cash balances and our $350 million 2011 Credit Facility and, at our election, issue shares or pay cash for any remaining value.

Other than the 2011 Credit Facility and the Convertible Notes, we have no other significant amount of long-term debt maturing in the near future.

Our leverage has increased in fiscal 2014 mainly due to increased acquisitions activity, initiation of quarterly dividend payments and continuation of our share repurchase program. We believe that our strong capital structure and liquidity affords us access to capital for future acquisition and stock repurchase opportunities and continued dividend payments.

A substantial majority of the Company’s cash and investments are held by foreign subsidiaries and are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and expected to be utilized to fund local operating activities, capital expenditure requirements and acquisitions. The Company believes that it has sufficient sources of domestic and foreign liquidity.

Cost Savings Initiatives-Restructuring

Cost savings programs remain a continuous element of our business strategy and are directed primarily at further reductions in plant manufacturing (labor and overhead), raw material costs and our operating expenses (primarily selling, general and administrative). In order to realize cost savings benefits for a majority of these initiatives, costs are incurred either in the form of capital expenditures, funding the cash obligations of previously recorded restructuring expenses or current period expenses.

During fiscal 2011, we began further restructuring programs related to our EMEA operations, including distribution, which after completion at the end of fiscal 2013, resulted in the reduction of approximately 60 employees with annual pre-tax savings of $4.0 million.

During fiscal 2012, we announced restructuring programs related to our operations in EMEA, primarily consisting of the transfer of manufacturing of select products between certain of our manufacturing operations and restructuring of our selling, general and administrative operations. These actions, which after completion during the second quarter of fiscal 2014, resulted in the reduction of approximately 85 employees with an estimated annual savings of $6.0 million. Our fiscal 2014 operating results reflected the vast majority of the estimated $6.0 million favorable annualized pre-tax earnings impact of the fiscal 2012 programs.

During fiscal 2013, the Company announced further restructurings related to improving the efficiency of its manufacturing operations in EMEA, primarily consisting of cash expenses for employee severance-related payments and non-cash expenses associated with the write-off of certain fixed assets and inventory. The Company estimates that these actions will result in the reduction of approximately 130 employees upon completion. Our fiscal 2014 operating results reflect approximately $4.0 million of the estimated $7.0 million of favorable annualized pre-tax earnings impact of the fiscal 2013 programs. The Company expects to be committed to an additional $0.7 million of restructuring charges related to these programs during fiscal 2015, and expects to complete the program during fiscal 2015.

During fiscal 2014, the Company announced additional restructuring programs to improve the efficiency of its manufacturing, sales and engineering operations in EMEA including the restructuring of its manufacturing operations in Bulgaria. The restructuring of the Bulgaria operations was announced during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and consists of the transfer of motive power and a portion of reserve power battery manufacturing to the Company's facilities in Western Europe. The Company estimates that the total charges for all actions announced during fiscal 2014 will amount to approximately $26.5 million, primarily from non-cash charges related to the write-off of fixed assets and inventory of approximately $12.0 million, along with cash charges for employee severance-related payments and other charges of $14.5 million. The Company estimates that these actions will result in the reduction of approximately 510 employees upon completion. Our fiscal 2014 operating results reflect approximately $1.0 million of the total estimated $20.0 million of favorable annualized pre-tax earnings impact

24

of the fiscal 2014 programs. The Company expects to be committed to an additional $7.5 million of restructuring charges related to these programs during fiscal 2015, and expects to complete the program during fiscal 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are described in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8. In preparing our financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that, among other things, affect the reported amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions are most significant where they involve levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or matters susceptible to change, and where they can have a material impact on our financial condition and operating performance. We discuss below the more significant estimates and related assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. If actual results were to differ materially from the estimates made, the reported results could be materially affected.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when the earnings process is complete. This occurs when risk and title transfers, collectibility is reasonably assured and pricing is fixed or determinable. Shipment terms to our battery product customers are either shipping point or destination and do not differ significantly between our business segments of the world. Accordingly, revenue is recognized when risk and title is transferred to the customer. Amounts invoiced to customers for shipping and handling are classified as revenue. Taxes on revenue producing transactions are not included in net sales.

We recognize revenue from the service of reserve power and motive power products when the respective services are performed.

Management believes that the accounting estimates related to revenue recognition are critical accounting estimates because they require reasonable assurance of collection of revenue proceeds and completion of all performance obligations. Also, revenues are recorded net of provisions for sales discounts and returns, which are established at the time of sale. These estimates are based on our past experience.

Asset Impairment Determinations

We test for the impairment of our goodwill and indefinite-lived trademarks at least annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that a possible impairment has been incurred. We utilize financial projections, certain cash flow measures, as well as our market capitalization in the determination of the estimated fair value of these assets.

With respect to our other long-lived assets other than goodwill and indefinite-lived trademarks, we test for impairment when indicators of impairment are present. An asset is considered impaired when the undiscounted estimated net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are less than its carrying amount. The impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the impaired asset.

In making future cash flow analyses of goodwill and other long-lived assets, we make assumptions relating to the following:

• the intended use of assets and the expected future cash flows resulting directly from such use;

• industry-specific economic conditions;

• competitor activities and regulatory initiatives; and

• client and customer preferences and patterns.

We believe that an accounting estimate relating to asset impairment is a critical accounting estimate because the assumptions underlying future cash flow estimates are subject to change from time to time and the recognition of an impairment could have a material impact on our financial statements.

Litigation and Claims

From time to time, the Company has been or may be a party to various legal actions and investigations including, among others, employment matters, compliance with government regulations, federal and state employment laws, including wage and hour laws, contractual disputes and other matters, including matters arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims may be brought by, among others, governments, customers, suppliers and employees. Management considers the measurement of litigation reserves as a critical accounting estimate because of the significant uncertainty in some cases relating to the outcome of potential claims or litigation and the difficulty of predicting the likelihood and range of potential liability involved, coupled with the material impact on our results of operations that could result from litigation or other claims.

25

In determining legal reserves, management considers, among other issues:

• interpretation of contractual rights and obligations;

• the status of government regulatory initiatives, interpretations and investigations;

• the status of settlement negotiations;

• prior experience with similar types of claims;

• whether there is available insurance coverage; and

• advice of outside counsel.

Environmental Loss Contingencies

Accruals for environmental loss contingencies (i.e., environmental reserves) are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can reasonably be estimated. Management views the measurement of environmental reserves as a critical accounting estimate because of the considerable uncertainty surrounding estimation, including the need to forecast well into the future. From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings under federal, state and local, as well as international environmental laws in connection with our operations and companies that we have acquired. The estimation of environmental reserves is based on the evaluation of currently available information, prior experience in the remediation of contaminated sites and assumptions with respect to government regulations and enforcement activity, changes in remediation technology and practices, and financial obligations and creditworthiness of other responsible parties and insurers.

Warranty

We record a warranty reserve for possible claims against our product warranties, which generally run for a period ranging from one to twenty years for our reserve power batteries and for a period ranging from one to seven years for our motive power batteries. The assessment of the adequacy of the reserve includes a review of open claims and historical experience.

Management believes that the accounting estimate related to the warranty reserve is a critical accounting estimate because the underlying assumptions used for the reserve can change from time to time and warranty claims could potentially have a material impact on our results of operations.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We encounter risks associated with sales and the collection of the associated accounts receivable. We record a provision for accounts receivable that are considered to be uncollectible. In order to calculate the appropriate provision, management analyzes the creditworthiness of specific customers and the aging of customer balances. Management also considers general and specific industry economic conditions, industry concentration and contractual rights and obligations.

Management believes that the accounting estimate related to the allowance for doubtful accounts is a critical accounting estimate because the underlying assumptions used for the allowance can change from time to time and uncollectible accounts could potentially have a material impact on our results of operations.

Retirement Plans

We use certain assumptions in the calculation of the actuarial valuation of our defined benefit plans. These assumptions include the discount rate, expected long-term rates of return on assets and rates of increase in compensation levels. Changes in these assumptions can result in changes to the pension expense and recorded liabilities. Management reviews these assumptions at least annually. We use independent actuaries to assist us in formulating assumptions and making estimates. These assumptions are updated periodically to reflect the actual experience and expectations on a plan-specific basis, as appropriate.

For benefit plans which are funded, we establish strategic asset allocation percentage targets and appropriate benchmarks for significant asset classes with the aim of achieving a prudent balance between return and risk. We set the expected long-term rate of return based on the expected long-term average rates of return to be achieved by the underlying investment portfolios. In establishing this rate, we consider historical and expected returns for the asset classes in which the plans are invested, advice from pension consultants and investment advisors, and current economic and capital market conditions. The expected return on plan assets is incorporated into the computation of pension expense. The difference between this expected return and the actual return on plan assets is deferred and will affect future net periodic pension costs through subsequent amortization.

We believe that the current assumptions used to estimate plan obligations and annual expense are appropriate in the current economic environment. However, if economic conditions change materially, we may change our assumptions, and the resulting change could have a material impact on the consolidated statements of income and on the consolidated balance sheets.

26

Equity-Based Compensation

We recognize compensation cost relating to equity-based payment transactions by using a fair-value measurement method whereby all equity-based payments to employees, including grants of restricted stock units, stock options and market share units, are recognized as compensation expense based on fair value at grant date over the requisite service period of the awards. We determine the fair value of restricted stock units based on the quoted market price of our common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which uses both historical and current market data to estimate the fair value. The fair value of market share units is estimated at the date of grant using a binomial lattice model. Both models incorporate various assumptions such as the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividend yield and expected life of the awards. When estimating the requisite service period of the awards, we consider many related factors including types of awards, employee class, and historical experience. Actual results, and future changes in estimates of the requisite service period may differ substantially from our current estimates.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate is based on pretax income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. We account for income taxes in accordance with applicable guidance on accounting for income taxes, which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between book and tax bases on recorded assets and liabilities. Accounting guidance also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance, when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

The recognition and measurement of a tax position is based on management’s best judgment given the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. We evaluate tax positions to determine whether the benefits of tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, we recognize the largest amount of the benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement in the financial statements. For tax positions that are not more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, we do not recognize any portion of the benefit in the financial statements. If the more likely than not threshold is not met in the period for which a tax position is taken, we may subsequently recognize the benefit of that tax position if the tax matter is effectively settled, the statute of limitations expires, or if the more likely than not threshold is met in a subsequent period.

We evaluate, on a quarterly basis, our ability to realize deferred tax assets by assessing our valuation allowance and by adjusting the amount of such allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are our forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets.

To the extent we prevail in matters for which reserves have been established, or are required to pay amounts in excess of our reserves, our effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially affected. An unfavorable tax settlement would require use of cash and result in an increase in the effective tax rate in the year of resolution. A favorable tax settlement would be recognized as a reduction in our effective tax rate in the year of resolution.

Overview

Our sales in fiscal 2014 were $2.5 billion, an 8.6% increase from prior year's sales primarily due to improvement in organic volume and acquisitions of approximately 5% and 3%, respectively. Gross margin percentage in fiscal 2014 increased by 40 basis points to 25.4% compared to fiscal 2013, mainly due to organic volume of 5% and improved pricing offsetting increased commodity costs. Our fourth quarter gross margin was the highest compared to other quarters in the fiscal year.

A discussion of specific fiscal 2014 versus fiscal 2013 operating results follows, including an analysis and discussion of the results of our reportable segments.

Net Sales

Net sales by reportable segment were as follows:

	Fiscal 2014				Fiscal 2013				Increase (Decrease)
	In Millions		% Net Sales		In Millions		% Net Sales		In Millions		%
Americas	$	1,267.6	51.2	%	$	1,126.9	49.5	%	$	140.7	12.5	%
EMEA	966.1		39.1		926.2		40.7		39.9		4.3
Asia	240.7		9.7		224.5		9.8		16.2		7.2
Total net sales	$	2,474.4	100.0	%	$	2,277.6	100.0	%	$	196.8	8.6	%

The Americas segment’s revenue increased by $140.7 million or 12.5% in fiscal 2014, as compared to fiscal 2013, primarily due to an increase in organic volume, acquisitions and pricing of approximately 7%, 5% and 1%, respectively, partially offset by a negative currency translation impact of approximately 1%.

The EMEA segment’s revenue increased by $39.9 million or 4.3% in fiscal 2014, as compared to fiscal 2013 primarily due to an increase of 1% each in organic volume and pricing and a 2% increase due to currency translation impact.

28

The Asia segment’s revenue increased by $16.2 million or 7.2% in fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013. Higher organic volume and acquisitions contributed approximately 10% and 2%, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in pricing and currency translation impact of approximately 2% and 3%, respectively.

Net sales by product line were as follows:

	Fiscal 2014				Fiscal 2013				Increase (Decrease)
	In Millions		As % Net Sales		In Millions		As % Net Sales		In Millions		%
Reserve power	$	1,234.5	49.9	%	$	1,119.1	49.1	%	$	115.4	10.3	%
Motive power	1,239.9		50.1		1,158.5		50.9		81.4		7.0
Total net sales	$	2,474.4	100.0	%	$	2,277.6	100.0	%	$	196.8	8.6	%

Sales in our reserve power product line increased in fiscal 2014 by $115.4 million or 10.3% compared to the prior year primarily due to acquisitions, higher organic volume and pricing which contributed approximately 6%, 4% and 1%, respectively, offset by negative currency translation impact of 1%.

Sales in our motive power product line increased in fiscal 2014 by $81.4 million or 7.0% compared to the prior year primarily due to higher organic volume of approximately 6%.

Gross Profit

	Fiscal 2014				Fiscal 2013				Increase (Decrease)
	In Millions		As % Net Sales		In Millions		As % Net Sales		In Millions		%
Gross profit	$	629.6	25.4	%	$	569.4	25.0	%	$	60.2	10.6	%

Gross profit increased $60.2 million or 10.6% in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. Gross profit, excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, increased $63 million or 11.1% in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. This increase is primarily attributed to lower manufacturing costs resulting from higher volume and prior year's restructuring activities along with improved pricing. We have made great efforts to sustain gross margin and continue to focus on a wide variety of sales initiatives, which include improving product mix to higher margin products and obtaining appropriate pricing for products relative to our costs. At the same time, we continue to focus on cost savings initiatives such as relocating production to low cost facilities and implementing more automation in our manufacturing plants.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $32.1 million or 10.3% in fiscal 2014 from fiscal 2013. Operating expenses, excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, increased $33.1 million or 10.6% in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses increased from 13.7% in fiscal 2013 to 13.9% in fiscal 2014 partially as a result of higher payroll related costs, including stock compensation expense.

Restructuring and other exit charges

In fiscal 2014, we recorded $27.4 million of restructuring charges, primarily for staff reductions and write-off of fixed assets and inventory in EMEA including relocating our motive power and a portion of our reserve power manufacturing from

29

Bulgaria to our facilities in Western Europe. Included in these charges are exit charges of $5.6 million related to certain operations in Europe.

In fiscal 2013, we recorded $7.2 million of restructuring charges, primarily for staff reductions and asset write-offs in Europe and Asia.

The fiscal 2013 and 2014 restructuring programs are expected to incur additional restructuring charges of approximately $8.2 million during fiscal 2015.

Legal proceedings charge

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, we recorded a $58.2 million legal proceedings charge in connection with an adverse arbitration result involving disputes between our wholly-owned subsidiary, EnerSys Delaware Inc. (“EDI”), and Altergy Systems (“Altergy”). EDI and Altergy were parties to a Supply and Distribution Agreement (the “SDA”) pursuant to which EDI was, among other things, granted the exclusive right to distribute and sell certain fuel cell products manufactured by Altergy for various applications throughout the United States. Commencing in 2011, various disputes arose and, because of the mandatory arbitration provision in the SDA, an arbitration action was filed by EDI in November 2012 seeking arbitration of claims relating to the SDA. In February 2013, EDI terminated the SDA. Following unsuccessful attempts to resolve their disputes by mediation in July 2013, the parties moved forward with arbitration in August 2013, where each party asserted various claims against the other.

After discovery, a hearing and post-hearing submissions by each party, on May 13, 2014, the arbitration panel issued an award in favor of Altergy. As a result, the arbitration panel concluded that Altergy should recover $58.2 million in net money damages from EDI. On May 13, 2014, Altergy filed a petition with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California seeking to confirm the arbitration panel award as well as post-award, prejudgment interest at the rate of 5.75% and post-judgment interest at the applicable federal statutory rate.

We are currently reviewing our options with our legal counsel to challenge this award, however there can be no assurances that a challenge, if and when made, will ultimately be successful. The full amount of the award was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 with an after tax expense of approximately $35.7 million. Adjustments to the accrual may be made in future periods depending on the outcome of any challenge.

Goodwill impairment charge

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances that indicate goodwill is more likely than not impaired. During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we determined that the fair value of our subsidiary in India, which was acquired in fiscal 2012, was less than its carrying amount based on our analysis of the estimated future expected cash flows we anticipate from the operations of this subsidiary. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash charge of $5.2 million for goodwill impairment relating to this subsidiary (see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

30

Fiscal 2014 operating earnings of $194.4 million were $55.5 million lower than in fiscal 2013 and were 7.9% of sales. Fiscal 2014 operating earnings were favorably affected by organic volume, acquisitions, our continuing cost savings programs and our pricing actions catching up to commodity cost increases in early fiscal 2014. The unfavorable arbitration ruling of $58.2 million offset those other benefits. Fiscal 2014 and 2013 operating earnings included $27.4 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of restructuring charges and $1.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for acquisition activity related expense.

The Americas segment’s operating earnings, excluding the highlighted items discussed above, increased $7.4 million or 4.2% in fiscal 2014, with the operating margin decreasing 120 basis points to 14.1%. This decrease of operating margin in our Americas segment is primarily due to an increase in commodity costs and unfavorable product mix partially offset by improved pricing and volume.

The EMEA segment’s operating earnings, excluding the highlighted items discussed above, increased $20.7 million or 32.6% in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013. Benefits of the restructuring programs on both production and operating expenses and better pricing and customer mix drove the improvements.

Operating earnings in Asia, excluding the highlighted items discussed above, remained flat in fiscal 2014 in comparison to fiscal 2013, with the operating margin as a percentage of sales decreasing by 60 basis points to 8.8%. The decrease in our Asia segment margins in fiscal 2014 was primarily attributable to unfavorable customer mix.

Interest expense	$	17.1	0.7	%	$	18.7	0.8	%	$	(1.6	)	(8.6	)%

Interest expense of $17.1 million in fiscal 2014 (net of interest income of $1.0 million) was $1.6 million lower than the $18.7 million in fiscal 2013 (net of interest income of $1.4 million). The decrease in interest expense in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013 is primarily due to lower average interest rates and lower average debt outstanding, partially offset by increased accreted interest on Convertible Notes.

Our average debt outstanding (including the average amount of the Convertible Notes discount of $13.5 million) was $236.9 million in fiscal 2014, compared to our average debt outstanding (including the average amount of the Convertible Notes discount of $20.8 million) of $246.3 million in fiscal 2013. Our average cash interest rate incurred in fiscal 2014 was 3.5% compared to 4.2% in fiscal 2013.

Included in interest expense is non-cash, accreted interest on the Convertible Notes of $7.6 million in fiscal 2014 and $7.0 million in fiscal 2013. Also included in interest expense are non-cash charges related to amortization of deferred financing fees of $1.1 million in fiscal 2014 and $1.3 million in fiscal 2013.

Other (income) expense, net was expense of $13.6 million in fiscal 2014 compared to expense of $0.9 million in fiscal 2013. The unfavorable impact in fiscal 2014 is mainly attributable to write-offs relating to non-operating assets and other charges of $6.5 million and higher foreign currency losses of $5.8 million compared to foreign currency losses of $1.9 million in fiscal 2013. The prior year also included insurance recoveries of $1.8 million.

The Company’s income tax provisions consist of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The effective income tax rate was 10.4% in fiscal 2014 compared to the fiscal 2013 effective tax rate of 28.4%. The rate decrease in fiscal 2014 as compared to fiscal 2013 is primarily due to the reversal of a previously recognized deferred tax valuation allowance related to one of our foreign subsidiaries of $24.9 million and changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions, which were significantly impacted by a legal proceedings charge recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. The valuation allowance release is the result of an operational restructuring approved during the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

Overview

Our sales in fiscal 2013 were relatively flat at approximately $2.3 billion compared to prior year sales. Acquisitions and improvement in organic volume contributed approximately 2% and 1%, respectively, and were offset by a 3% decrease due to foreign currency translation impact. Despite sales being relatively flat, the gross margin percentage in fiscal 2013 was up 260 basis points at 25.0% versus 22.4% in fiscal 2012, due mainly to lower commodity costs.

A discussion of specific fiscal 2013 versus fiscal 2012 operating results follows, including an analysis and discussion of the results of our reportable segments.

Net Sales

Net sales by reportable segment were as follows:

	Fiscal 2013				Fiscal 2012				Increase (Decrease)
	In Millions		% Net Sales		In Millions		% Net Sales		In Millions			%
Americas	$	1,126.9	49.5	%	$	1,082.8	47.4	%	$	44.1		4.1	%
EMEA	926.2		40.7		995.4		43.6		(69.2		)	(7.0	)
Asia	224.5		9.8		205.2		9.0		19.3			9.4
Total net sales	$	2,277.6	100.0	%	$	2,283.4	100.0	%	$	(5.8	)	(0.3	)%

The Americas segment’s revenue increased by $44.1 million or 4.1% in fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012, primarily due to an increase in organic volume and acquisitions of approximately 3% and 2%, respectively, partially offset by a negative currency translation impact of approximately 1%.

The EMEA segment’s revenue decreased by $69.2 million or 7.0% in fiscal 2013, as compared to fiscal 2012. A negative currency translation impact of approximately 6% combined with a decrease in organic volume and pricing of approximately 2% and 1%, respectively, partially offset by a 2% increase from acquisitions resulted in the decreased revenue.

The Asia segment’s revenue increased by $19.3 million or 9.4% in fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012. Higher organic volume and acquisitions contributed approximately 5% and 7%, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in both pricing and currency translation impact of approximately 1%.

Net sales by product line were as follows:

	Fiscal 2013				Fiscal 2012				Increase (Decrease)
	In Millions		As % Net Sales		In Millions		As % Net Sales		In Millions			%
Reserve power	$	1,119.1	49.1	%	$	1,092.7	47.9	%	$	26.4		2.4	%
Motive power	1,158.5		50.9		1,190.7		52.1		(32.2		)	(2.7	)
Total net sales	$	2,277.6	100.0	%	$	2,283.4	100.0	%	$	(5.8	)	(0.3	)%

Sales in our reserve power product line increased in fiscal 2013 by $26.4 million or 2.4% compared to the prior year primarily due to acquisitions and higher organic volume which contributed approximately 3% each, offset by negative currency translation impact and price decreases of approximately 3% and 1%, respectively.

Sales in our motive power product line decreased in fiscal 2013 by $32.2 million or 2.7% compared to the prior year primarily due to currency translation impact and decrease in organic volume of approximately 3% and 1%, respectively, partially offset by a 1% increase due to acquisitions.

Gross profit	$	569.4	25.0	%	$	512.7	22.4	%	$	56.7	11.0	%

Gross profit increased $56.7 million or 11.0% in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. Gross profit, excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, increased $69 million or 13.4% in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. This increase was primarily attributed to lower commodity costs with pricing declining slightly. We made great efforts to sustain gross margin and continued to focus on a wide variety of sales initiatives, which included improving product mix to higher margin products and obtaining appropriate pricing for products relative to our costs. At the same time, we continued to focus on cost savings initiatives such as relocating production to low cost facilities and implementing more automation in our manufacturing plants.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $14.5 million or 4.9% in fiscal 2013 from fiscal 2012. Operating expenses, excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, increased $25.5 million or 8.6% in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. As a percentage of sales, operating expenses increased from 13.0% in fiscal 2012 to 13.7% in fiscal 2013 partially as a result of higher payroll related costs, including stock compensation expense.

Restructuring Charges

In fiscal 2013, we recorded $7.2 million of restructuring charges, primarily for staff reductions and asset write-offs in Europe and Asia.

In fiscal 2012, we recorded $5.0 million of restructuring charges, primarily for staff reductions in Europe.

The fiscal 2012 and 2013 restructuring programs were expected to incur additional restructuring charges of approximately $4.0 million during fiscal 2014.

(1) The percentages shown for the segments are computed as a percentage of the applicable segment’s net sales.

Fiscal 2013 operating earnings of $249.9 million were $39.1 million higher than in fiscal 2012 and were 11.0% of sales. Fiscal 2013 operating earnings were favorably affected by organic volume, acquisitions, our continuing cost savings programs and lower commodity costs. Fiscal 2013 and 2012 operating earnings included $7.2 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of restructuring charges and $0.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for acquisition activity related expense.

The Americas segment’s operating earnings increased $32.9 million or 23.7% in fiscal 2013, with the operating margin increasing 250 basis points to 15.3%. This increase of operating margin in our Americas segment was primarily due to an increase in organic volumes and decreased commodity costs and better product mix.

The EMEA segment’s operating earnings, excluding the highlighted items discussed above, increased $0.3 million or 0.3% in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012. Benefits of the restructuring programs on both production and operating expenses and lower commodity costs kept operating earnings relatively flat compared to the prior year despite the economic downturn in the region.

Operating earnings in Asia, excluding the highlighted items discussed above, increased 74.3% in fiscal 2013 in comparison to fiscal 2012, with the operating margin as a percentage of sales increasing by 350 basis points to 9.4%. The increase in our Asia segment earnings in fiscal 2013 was primarily attributable to volume increase and better product mix.

Interest expense	$	18.7	0.8	%	$	16.5	0.7	%	$	2.2	13.6	%

Interest expense of $18.7 million in fiscal 2013 (net of interest income of $1.4 million) was $2.2 million higher than the $16.5 million in fiscal 2012 (net of interest income of $0.9 million). The increase in interest expense in fiscal 2013 compared to fiscal 2012 was attributable primarily to higher interest expense on indebtedness in Asia and South America where we made acquisitions and higher bond accretion partially offset by lower average borrowings.

Our average debt outstanding (including the average amount of the Convertible Notes discount of $20.8 million) was $246.3 million in fiscal 2013, compared to our average debt outstanding (including the average amount of the Convertible Notes discount of $27.5 million) of $270.1 million in fiscal 2012. Our average cash interest rate incurred in fiscal 2013 was 4.2% compared to 3.1% in fiscal 2012.

Included in interest expense is non-cash, accreted interest on the Convertible Notes of $7.0 million in fiscal 2013 and $6.4 million in fiscal 2012. Also included in interest expense are non-cash charges related to amortization of deferred financing fees of $1.3 million in both fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012.

Fiscal 2013 included foreign currency losses of $1.9 million, miscellaneous charges of $0.8 million partially offset by insurance recoveries of $1.8 million. Fiscal 2012 included foreign currency losses of $1.5 million and other miscellaneous charges of $1.6 million.

The effective income tax rate was 28.4% in fiscal 2013 compared to the fiscal 2012 effective tax rate of 24.7%. The rate increase in fiscal 2013 as compared to fiscal 2012 was primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions and the increase in non-deductible expenses in certain jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow and Financing Activities

Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, were $240.1 million, $249.3 million and $160.5 million, respectively.

Cash provided by operating activities for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, was $193.6 million, $244.4 million and $204.2 million, respectively.

During fiscal 2014 cash from operating activities was provided primarily from net earnings of $146.7 million, depreciation and amortization of $54.0 million, non-cash charges relating to write-off of goodwill and other assets of $10.2 million, restructuring charges of $11.5 million, a net source of $25.6 million from non-cash interest expense and stock compensation, $90.3 million from other accrued, including the legal proceedings charge of $58.2 million, were partially offset by cash used for the increase in Primary Working Capital of $77.0 million and deferred taxes of $49.7 million, net of currency translation changes.

During fiscal 2013, cash from operating activities was provided primarily from net earnings of $165.0 million, depreciation and amortization of $50.5 million and a net source of $26.4 million from non-cash interest expense, provision for doubtful accounts, deferred taxes, net gains and settlements on derivatives, stock compensation, asset write-offs related to restructuring and losses on disposal of fixed assets. Primary Working Capital improved by $9.9 million and was offset partially by a change in current and other assets, accrued expenses, and other liabilities of $7.4 million.

During fiscal 2012, cash from operating activities was provided primarily from net earnings of $144.0 million, depreciation and amortization of $50.4 million and a net source of $14.5 million from non-cash interest expense, provision for doubtful accounts, deferred taxes, net gains and settlements on derivatives, stock compensation and gains on disposal of fixed assets. Change in current and other assets, accrued expenses, and other liabilities contributed a further $20.2 million, offset by a $24.9 million increase in Primary Working Capital.

As explained in the discussion of our use of “non-GAAP financial measures,” we monitor the level and percentage of Primary Working Capital to sales. Primary Working Capital for this purpose is trade accounts receivable, plus inventories, minus trade accounts payable and the resulting net amount is divided by the trailing three-month net sales (annualized) to derive a Primary Working Capital percentage. Primary Working Capital was $666.9 million (yielding a Primary Working Capital percentage of 25.1%) at March 31, 2014 and $552.7 million (yielding a Primary Working Capital percentage of 24.2%) at March 31, 2013.

Primary Working Capital and Primary Working Capital percentages at March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are computed as follows:

At March 31,	Trade Receivables		Inventory		Accounts Payable			Primary Working Capital		Quarter Revenue Annualized		Primary Working Capital (%)

Cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $232.0 million, $55.1 million and $72.4 million, respectively. Capital expenditures were $62.0 million, $55.3 million and $48.9 million in fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The current year’s capital spending focused primarily on TPPL capacity expansion in EMEA and Americas, completion of our Gaoyou plant in the People’s Republic of China. Our purchases of and investments in businesses were $171.5 million with three significant acquisitions-Purcell Systems Inc., a designer, manufacturer and marketer of thermally managed electronic equipment and battery cabinet enclosures, Quallion, LLC, a manufacturer of lithium ion cells and batteries for medical devices, defense, aviation and space and UTS Holdings Sdn. Bhd. and its subsidiaries, a distributor of motive and reserve power battery products and services. There were no acquisitions during fiscal 2013. Acquisitions were $23.6 million in fiscal 2012.

During fiscal 2014, we borrowed $251.9 million on our revolver and repaid $126.9 million. Borrowings on short-term debt were $8.5 million. During fiscal 2014, we repurchased $69.9 million of our common stock and paid cash dividends to our stockholders of $23.7 million. We also acquired the share of noncontrolling interests in one of our foreign subsidiaries for $6.0 million and paid deferred consideration of $4.8 million in connection with an acquisition made in fiscal 2012.

During fiscal 2013, we borrowed $246.0 million on our revolver and repaid $325.4 million. Borrowings on long-term debt and short-term debt were $5.6 million and $7.4 million, respectively, which were offset by repayments of long-term debt of $16.5 million in Asia. During fiscal 2013, we repurchased $22.6 million of our common stock.

During fiscal 2012, we borrowed $111.6 million on our revolver and repaid $132.2 million. Borrowings financed a portion of our repurchases of common stock of $58.4 million and acquisitions of $23.6 million.

Taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards, net of option proceeds and related tax benefits resulted in a net outflow of $6.3 million in fiscal 2014. The exercise of stock options and the related tax benefits contributed $11.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively, in fiscal 2013 and 2012.

As a result of the above, cash and cash equivalents decreased $9.2 million from $249.3 million at March 31, 2013 to $240.1 million at March 31, 2014.

We currently are in compliance with all covenants and conditions under our credit agreements.

In addition to cash flows from operating activities, we had available committed and uncommitted credit lines of approximately $360 million at March 31, 2014 to cover short-term liquidity requirements. Our 2011 Credit Facility is committed through September 2018, as long as we continue to comply with the covenants and conditions of the credit facility agreement. Included in our available credit lines at March 31, 2014 is $224 million under our 2011 Credit Facility.

37

We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity under our credit facilities will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including normal levels of capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future; however, there can be no assurance that this will be the case.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements during any of the periods covered by this report.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

At March 31, 2014, we had certain cash obligations, which are due as follows:

Due to the uncertainty of future cash outflows, uncertain tax positions have been excluded from the table above.

Under our 2011 Credit Facility and other credit arrangements, we had outstanding standby letters of credit of $1.7 million as of March 31, 2014.

Credit Facilities and Leverage

Our focus on working capital management and cash flow from operations is measured by our ability to reduce debt and reduce our leverage ratios. Shown below are the leverage ratios at March 31, 2014 and 2013, in connection with our 2011 Credit Facility.

The total net debt as defined under our 2011 Credit Facility is $224.9 million for fiscal 2014 and is 0.8 times adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) as described below.

38

The following table provides a reconciliation of net earnings to EBITDA (non-GAAP) and adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) as per our 2011 Credit Facility:

	Fiscal 2014		Fiscal 2013
	(in millions, except ratios)
Net earnings as reported	$	146.7	$	165.0
Add back:
Depreciation and amortization	54.0		50.5
Interest expense	17.1		18.7
Income tax expense	17.0		65.3
EBITDA (non GAAP)(1)	$	234.8	$	299.5
Adjustments per credit agreement definitions(2)	43.9		14.7
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) per credit agreement	$	278.7	$	314.2
Total net debt(3)	$	224.9	$	81.6
Leverage ratios:
Total net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio(4)	0.8 X		0.3 X
Maximum ratio permitted	3.25 X		3.25 X
Consolidated interest coverage ratio(5)	31.2 X		23.2 X
Minimum ratio required	4.5 X		4.5 X

(1) We have included EBITDA (non-GAAP) and adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) because our lenders use it as a key measure of our performance. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net earnings or any other measure of performance under GAAP or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. Our calculation of EBITDA may be different from the calculations used by other companies, and therefore comparability may be limited. Certain financial covenants in our 2011 Credit Facility are based on EBITDA, subject to adjustments, which are shown above. Continued availability of credit under our 2011 Credit Facility is critical to our ability to meet our business plans, we believe that an understanding of the key terms of our credit agreement is important to an investor’s understanding of our financial condition and liquidity risks. Failure to comply with our financial covenants, unless waived by our lenders, would mean we could not borrow any further amounts under our revolving credit facility and would give our lenders the right to demand immediate repayment of all outstanding revolving credit loans. We would be unable to continue our operations at current levels if we lost the liquidity provided under our credit agreements. Depreciation and amortization in this table excludes the amortization of deferred financing fees, which is included in interest expense.

(2) The $43.9 million adjustment to EBITDA in fiscal 2014 primarily related to $16.7 million of non-cash stock compensation, $11.5 million of non-cash restructuring charges and $5.2 million of goodwill impairment charge and $5.0 million non-cash write-off of certain assets. The $14.7 million adjustment to EBITDA in fiscal 2013 primarily relates to non-cash stock compensation expense.

(3) Debt includes capital lease obligations and letters of credit and is net of U.S. cash and cash equivalents and a portion of European cash investments, as defined in the 2011 Credit Facility. In fiscal 2014, the amounts deducted in the calculation of net debt were U.S. cash and cash equivalents and European cash investments of $9 million and $100 million, respectively, and in fiscal 2013, $26 million and $100 million, respectively.

(4) These ratios are included to show compliance with the leverage ratios set forth in our credit facilities. We show both our current ratios and the maximum ratio permitted or minimum ratio required under our 2011 Credit Facility.

(5) As defined in the 2011 Credit Facility, interest expense used in the consolidated interest coverage ratio excludes non-cash interest of $8.8 million and includes $0.7 million of interest rate swap contract settlements for fiscal 2014. For fiscal 2013, interest expense used in the consolidated interest coverage ratio excludes non-cash interest of $8.5 million and includes $3.3 million of interest rate swap contract settlements.

EnerSys Stockholders’ Equity

EnerSys stockholders’ equity increased $77.0 million during fiscal 2014 due to net earnings of $150.3 million; $10.5 million of increases related to stock-based compensation and the exercise of stock options; decrease due to acquisition of noncontrolling interest of $2.9 million; decrease due to repurchase of common shares of $69.9 million and payment of cash dividend of $23.7 million; decrease due to reclass of debt conversion feature of $9.6 million, redemption value adjustment of redeemable noncontrolling interests of $5.0 million; increase due to currency translation adjustments of $30.6 million due primarily to the

39

strengthening of European currencies; decrease due to $1.4 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments; and $2.0 million related to pension liabilities.

EnerSys stockholders’ equity increased $137.2 million during fiscal 2013 due to net earnings of $166.5 million; $26.1 million of increases related to stock-based compensation and the exercise of stock options; acquisition of noncontrolling interest of $0.6 million; decrease due to repurchase of common shares of $22.6 million; currency translation adjustments of $27.2 million due primarily to the weakening of European currencies; $2.0 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments; and $4.2 million related to pension liabilities.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risks

Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and raw material costs. We manage our exposure to these market risks through internally established policies and procedures and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Our policy does not allow speculation in derivative instruments for profit or execution of derivative instrument contracts for which there are no underlying exposures. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes and are not a party to any leveraged derivatives. We monitor our underlying market risk exposures on an ongoing basis and believe that we can modify or adapt our hedging strategies as needed.

Counterparty Risks

We have entered into interest rate swap agreements, lead forward purchase contracts and foreign exchange forward contracts to manage the risk associated with our exposures. The Company’s agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions. Those contracts that result in a liability position at March 31, 2014 are $3.0 million (pre-tax), therefore, there is minimal risk of nonperformance by these counterparties. Those contracts that result in an asset position at March 31, 2014 are $0.7

41

million (pre-tax) and the vast majority of these will settle within one year. The impact on the Company due to nonperformance by the counterparties has been evaluated and not deemed material.

Interest Rate Risks

We are exposed to changes in variable U.S. interest rates on borrowings under our 2011 Credit Facility. On a selective basis, from time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the negative impact that increases in interest rates could have on our outstanding variable rate debt. We had no interest rate swap agreements as of March 31, 2014.

At March 31, 2013, the aggregate notional amount of interest rate swap agreements was $65.0 million. These agreements expired in May 2013.

A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased annual interest expense by approximately $1.6 million on the variable rate portions of our debt.

Commodity Cost Risks—Lead Contracts

We have a significant risk in our exposure to certain raw materials. Our largest single raw material cost is for lead, for which the cost remains volatile. In order to hedge against increases in our lead cost, we have entered into contracts with financial institutions to fix the price of lead. A vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. We had the following contracts outstanding at the dates shown below:

Date	$’s Under Contract		# Pounds Purchased	Average Cost/Pound		Approximate % of  Lead Requirements (1)
	(in millions)		(in millions)
March 31, 2014	$	86.5	89.9	$	0.96	19	%
March 31, 2013	56.6		56.3	1.00		12
March 31, 2012	56.6		60.0	0.94		12

(1) Based on the fiscal year lead requirements for the period then ended.

We estimate that a 10% increase in our cost of lead would have increased our annual cost of goods sold by approximately $58 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks

We manufacture and assemble our products globally in the Americas, EMEA and Asia. Approximately 60% of our sales and expenses are transacted in foreign currencies. Our sales revenue, production costs, profit margins and competitive position are affected by the strength of the currencies in countries where we manufacture or purchase goods relative to the strength of the currencies in countries where our products are sold. Additionally, as we report our financial statements in U.S. dollars, our financial results are affected by the strength of the currencies in countries where we have operations relative to the strength of the U.S. dollar. The principal foreign currencies in which we conduct business are the Euro, Swiss franc, British pound, Polish zloty, Chinese renminbi and Mexican peso.

We quantify and monitor our global foreign currency exposures. Our largest foreign currency exposure is from the purchase and conversion of U.S. dollar based lead costs into local currencies in Europe. Additionally, we have currency exposures from intercompany financing and trade transactions. On a selective basis, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and option contracts to reduce the impact from the volatility of currency movements; however, we cannot be certain that foreign currency fluctuations will not impact our operations in the future.

42

To hedge these exposures, we have entered into forward contracts with financial institutions to fix the value at which we will buy or sell certain currencies. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. Forward contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2014 were $92.8 million. The details of contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2014 were as follows:

Transactions Hedged	$US Equivalent (in millions)		Average Rate Hedged		Approximate % of Annual Requirements (1)
Sell Euros for U.S. dollars	$	34.3	$/€	1.37	19	%
Sell Euros for Polish zloty	22.0		PLN/€	4.23	20
Sell Euros for British pounds	18.6		£/€	0.83	24
Sell JPY for U.S. dollars	6.6		¥/$	102.18	76
Sell U.S. dollars for Mexican pesos	4.4		MXN/$	13.24	50
Sell Australian dollars for Euros	2.1		€/AUD	1.54	12
Sell Australian dollars for U.S. dollars	1.5		$/AUD	0.89	13
Other	3.3
Total	$	92.8

(1) Based on the fiscal year currency requirements for the year ended March 31, 2014.

Foreign exchange translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in EnerSys’ stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests.

Based on changes in the timing and amount of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate movements and our actual exposures and hedges, actual gains and losses in the future may differ from our historical results.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of EnerSys

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EnerSys as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2014. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of EnerSys at March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), EnerSys’ internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework) and our report dated May 28, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

We have audited EnerSys’ internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework) (the COSO criteria). EnerSys’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As indicated in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management's assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Purcell Systems, Inc., Quallion, LLC, and UTS Holdings Sdn. Bhd. and its subsidiaries, all of which were acquired during fiscal 2014, which are included in the fiscal 2014 consolidated financial statements of EnerSys and constituted 9.9% of total assets as of March 31, 2014 and 2.8% of net sales for the year then ended.  Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of EnerSys also did not include an evaluation of internal control over financial reporting of those businesses that were acquired during fiscal 2014.

In our opinion, EnerSys maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2014, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of EnerSys as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2014 of EnerSys and our report dated May 28, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2014

(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

EnerSys (the “Company”) and its predecessor companies have been manufacturers of industrial batteries for over 125 years. EnerSys is a global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications. The Company manufactures, markets and distributes industrial batteries and related products such as chargers, outdoor cabinet enclosures, power equipment and battery accessories, and provides related after-market and customer-support services for industrial batteries.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries and any partially owned subsidiaries that the Company has the ability to control. Control generally equates to ownership percentage, whereby investments that are more than 50% owned are generally consolidated, investments in affiliates of 50% or less but greater than 20% are generally accounted for using the equity method, and investments in affiliates of 20% or less are accounted for using the cost method. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company also consolidates certain subsidiaries in which the noncontrolling interest party has within its control the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of its interest in the subsidiary. The redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported at their estimated redemption value, and the amount presented in temporary equity is not less than the initial amount reported in temporary equity. Any adjustment to the redemption value impacts retained earnings but does not impact net income or comprehensive income. Noncontrolling interests which are redeemable only upon future events, the occurrence of which is not currently probable, are recorded at carrying value.

Foreign Currency Translation

Results of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using average exchange rates during the periods. The assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates as of the balance sheet dates. Gains or losses resulting from translating the foreign currency financial statements are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in EnerSys’ stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests.

Transaction gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes on transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the applicable subsidiary are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income, within “Other (income) expense, net”, in the year in which the change occurs.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete. This occurs when risk and title transfers, collectibility is reasonably assured and pricing is fixed or determinable. Shipment terms are either shipping point or destination and do not differ significantly between the Company’s business segments. Accordingly, revenue is recognized when risk and title are transferred to the customer. Amounts invoiced to customers for shipping and handling are classified as revenue. Taxes on revenue producing transactions are not included in net sales.

The Company recognizes revenue from the service of its products when the respective services are performed.

Accruals are made at the time of sale for sales returns and other allowances based on the Company’s historical experience.

Freight Expense

Amounts billed to customers for outbound freight costs are classified as sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Costs incurred by the Company for outbound freight costs to customers, inbound and transfer freight are classified in cost of goods sold.

Warranties

The Company’s products are warranted for a period ranging from one to twenty years for reserve power batteries and for a period ranging from one to seven years for motive power batteries. The Company provides for estimated product warranty expenses when the related products are sold. The assessment of the adequacy of the reserve includes a review of open claims and historical experience.

52

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to potential concentration of credit risk consist principally of short-term cash investments and trade accounts receivable. The Company invests its cash with various financial institutions and in various investment instruments limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution or entity. The Company has bank deposits that exceed federally insured limits. In addition, certain cash investments may be made in U.S. and foreign government bonds, or other highly rated investments guaranteed by the U.S. or foreign governments. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited by a large, diversified customer base and its geographic dispersion. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and requires collateral, such as letters of credit, in certain circumstances.

Accounts Receivable

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. The allowance is based on management’s estimate of uncollectible accounts, analysis of historical data and trends, as well as reviews of all relevant factors concerning the financial capability of its customers. Accounts receivable are considered to be past due based on how payments are received compared to the customer’s credit terms. Accounts are written off when management determines the account is uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The cost of inventory consists of material, labor, and associated overhead.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost and include expenditures that substantially increase the useful lives of the assets. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: 10 to 33 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment.

Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Interest on capital projects is capitalized during the construction period.

Business Combinations

The purchase price of an acquired company is allocated between tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquired business based on their estimated fair values, with the residual of the purchase price recorded as goodwill. The results of operations of the acquired business are included in the Company’s operating results from the date of acquisition.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived trademarks are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or circumstances occur indicating that a possible impairment may have been incurred. Goodwill is tested for impairment by determining the fair value of the Company’s reporting units. These estimated fair values are based on financial projections, certain cash flow measures, and market capitalization. The indefinite-lived trademarks are tested for impairment by comparing the carrying value to the fair value based on current revenue projections of the related operations, under the relief from royalty method. Any excess carrying value over the amount of fair value is recognized as impairment. Any impairment would be recognized in full in the reporting period in which it has been identified.

Finite-lived assets such as customer relationships, patents, and non-compete agreements are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years. The Company reviews the carrying values of these assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable based on undiscounted estimated cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. The Company continually evaluates the reasonableness of the useful lives of these assets.

53

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets to be held and used for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, based on undiscounted estimated cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. The factors considered by the Company in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and other economic factors. In assessing the recoverability of the carrying value of a long-lived asset, the Company must make assumptions regarding future cash flows and other factors. If these estimates or the related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record an impairment loss for these assets.

Environmental Expenditures

The Company records a loss and establishes a reserve for environmental remediation liabilities when it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability exists and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Reasonable estimates involve judgments made by management after considering a broad range of information including: notifications, demands or settlements that have been received from a regulatory authority or private party, estimates performed by independent engineering companies and outside counsel, available facts existing and proposed technology, the identification of other potentially responsible parties, their ability to contribute and prior experience. These judgments are reviewed quarterly as more information is received and the amounts reserved are updated as necessary. However, the reserves may materially differ from ultimate actual liabilities if the loss contingency is difficult to estimate or if management’s judgments turn out to be inaccurate. If management believes no best estimate exists, the minimum probable loss is accrued.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes derivative instruments to mitigate volatility related to interest rates, lead prices and foreign currency exposures. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and measures those instruments at fair value. Changes in the fair value of those instruments are reported in AOCI if they qualify for hedge accounting or in earnings if they do not qualify for hedge accounting. Derivatives qualify for hedge accounting if they are designated as hedge instruments and if the hedge is highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the asset or liability hedged. Effectiveness is measured on a regular basis using statistical analysis and by comparing the overall changes in the expected cash flows on the lead and foreign currency forward contracts with the changes in the expected all-in cash outflow required for the lead and foreign currency purchases. This analysis is performed on the initial purchases quarterly that cover the quantities hedged. Accordingly, gains and losses from changes in derivative fair value of effective hedges are deferred and reported in AOCI until the underlying transaction affects earnings.

The Company has commodity, foreign exchange and interest rate hedging authorization from the Board of Directors and has established a hedging and risk management program that includes the management of market and counterparty risk. Key risk control activities designed to ensure compliance with the risk management program include, but are not limited to, credit review and approval, validation of transactions and market prices, verification of risk and transaction limits, portfolio stress tests, sensitivity analyses and frequent portfolio reporting, including open positions, determinations of fair value and other risk management metrics.

Market risk is the potential loss the Company and its subsidiaries may incur as a result of price changes associated with a particular financial or commodity instrument. The Company utilizes forward contracts, and swaps as part of its risk management strategies, to minimize unanticipated fluctuations in earnings caused by changes in commodity prices, interest rates and/or foreign currency exchange rates. All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value, unless they qualify for Normal Purchase Normal Sale.

Credit risk is the potential loss the Company may incur due to the counterparty’s non-performance. The Company is exposed to credit risk from interest rate, foreign currency and commodity derivatives with financial institutions. The Company has credit policies to manage their credit risk, including the use of an established credit approval process, monitoring of the counterparty positions and the use of master netting agreements.

The Company has elected to offset net derivative positions under master netting arrangements. The Company does not have any positions involving cash collateral (payables or receivables) under a master netting arrangement as of March 31, 2014 and 2013.

The Company does not have any credit-related contingent features associated with its derivative instruments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company uses the following valuation techniques to measure fair value for its financial assets and financial liabilities:

Level 1	Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2	Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3	Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate carrying value due to their short maturities.

The fair value of the Company’s $350,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (“2011 Credit Facility”) and short-term debt approximate their carrying value, as they are variable rate debt and the terms are comparable to market terms as of the balance sheet dates and are classified as Level 2.

The fair value amounts of the Company’s $172,500 senior unsecured 3.375% convertible notes (“Convertible Notes”) represent the trading values of the Convertible Notes which is based upon quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The Company and its subsidiaries use, as appropriate, a market approach (generally, data from market transactions), an income approach (generally, present value techniques and option-pricing models), and/or a cost approach (generally, replacement cost) to measure the fair value of an asset or liability. These valuation approaches incorporate inputs such as observable, independent market data and/or unobservable data that management believes are predicated on the assumptions market participants would use to price an asset or liability. These inputs may incorporate, as applicable, certain risks such as nonperformance risk, which includes credit risk.

Lead contracts, foreign currency contracts and interest rate contracts generally use an income approach to measure the fair value of these contracts, utilizing readily observable inputs, such as forward interest rates (e.g., London Interbank Offered Rate—“LIBOR”) and forward foreign currency exchange rates (e.g., GBP and euro) and commodity prices (e.g., London Metals Exchange), as well as inputs that may not be observable, such as credit valuation adjustments. When observable inputs are used to measure all or most of the value of a contract, the contract is classified as Level 2. Over-the-counter (OTC) contracts are valued using quotes obtained from an exchange, binding and non-binding broker quotes. Furthermore, the Company obtains independent quotes from the market to validate the forward price curves. OTC contracts include forwards, swaps and options. To the extent possible, fair value measurements utilize various inputs that include quoted prices for similar contracts or market-corroborated inputs.

When unobservable inputs are significant to the fair value measurement, a contract is classified as Level 3. Additionally, Level 2 fair value measurements include adjustments for credit risk based on the Company’s own creditworthiness (for net liabilities) and its counterparties’ creditworthiness (for net assets). The Company assumes that observable market prices include sufficient adjustments for liquidity and modeling risks. The Company did not have any contracts that transferred between Level 2 and Level 3 as well as Level 1 and Level 2.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach, which requires deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates to measure the effect of temporary differences between book and tax bases on recorded assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets, if it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be recognized.  The need to establish valuation allowances against deferred tax assets is assessed quarterly. The primary factors used to assess the likelihood of realization are forecasts of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets.

The Company has not recorded United States income or foreign withholding taxes related to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because the Company currently plans to keep these amounts permanently invested overseas. 

The Company recognizes tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in its Consolidated Statement of Income.

With respect to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company evaluates tax positions to determine whether the benefits of tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position.

55

For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company recognizes the largest amount of the benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. For tax positions that are not more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, the Company does not recognize any portion of the benefit. If the more likely than not threshold is not met in the period for which a tax position is taken, the Company may subsequently recognize the benefit of that tax position if the tax matter is effectively settled, the statute of limitations expires, or if the more likely than not threshold is met in a subsequent period.

Deferred Financing Fees

Debt issuance costs that are incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance of debt are deferred and amortized to interest expense over the life of the underlying indebtedness, adjusted to reflect any early repayments.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for the award of an equity instrument based on the grant-date fair value of the award, with such cost recognized over the applicable vesting period.

Market Share Units

The fair value of the market share units is estimated at the date of grant using a binomial lattice model with the following assumptions: a risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, time to maturity and expected volatility. These units vest and are settled in common stock on the third anniversary of the date of grant. Market share units are converted into between zero and two shares of common stock for each unit granted at the end of a three-year performance cycle. The conversion ratio is calculated by dividing the average closing share price of the Company’s common stock during the ninety calendar days immediately preceding the vesting date by the average closing share price of the Company’s common stock during the ninety calendar days immediately preceding the grant date, with the resulting quotient capped at two. This quotient is then multiplied by the number of market share units granted to yield the number of shares of common stock to be delivered on the vesting date. The Company recognizes compensation expense using the straight-line method over the life of the market share units.

Restricted Stock Units

The fair value of restricted stock units is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. These awards generally vest, and are settled in common stock, at 25% per year, over a four-year period from the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense using the straight-line method over the life of the restricted stock units.

Stock Options

The fair value of the options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model utilizing assumptions based on historical data and current market data. The assumptions include expected term of the options, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, and dividend yield. The expected term represents the expected amount of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, based on historical and forecasted exercise behavior. The risk-free rate is based on the rate at the grant date of zero-coupon U.S. Treasury Notes with a term equal to the expected term of the option. Expected volatility is estimated using historical volatility rates based on historical weekly price changes over a term equal to the expected term of the options. The Company’s dividend yield is based on historical data. The Company recognizes compensation expense using the straight-line method over the vesting period of the options.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net earnings attributable to EnerSys stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. At March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company had outstanding stock options, restricted stock units, market share units and Convertible Notes, which could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future.

56

Segment Reporting

A segment for reporting purposes is based on the financial performance measures that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to assess segment performance and to make decisions about a public entity’s allocation of resources. Based on this guidance, the Company reports its segment results based upon the three geographical regions of operations.

• Americas, which includes North and South America, with segment headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA,

• EMEA, which includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with segment headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, and

• Asia, which includes Asia, Australia and Oceania, with segment headquarters in Singapore.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) finalized the disclosure requirements on how entities should present financial information about reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." The standard requires that companies present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. If a component is not required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety, companies would instead cross-reference to the related footnote for additional information. The Company adopted ASU No. 2013-02 as of April 1, 2013, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Acquisitions

In fiscal 2014, the Company completed two acquisitions in the Americas and one in Asia, using both cash on hand and borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility.

On October 8, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Purcell Systems, Inc., a designer, manufacturer and marketer of thermally managed electronic equipment and battery cabinet enclosures, headquartered in Spokane, Washington, for $119,540, net of cash acquired. The Company acquired tangible and intangible assets, including trademarks, technology, customer relationships and goodwill. Based on preliminary valuations performed, trademarks were valued at $16,800, technology at $7,900, customer relationships at $35,700, and goodwill was recorded at $54,145. The useful life of technology and customer lists were estimated at 10 and 13 years, respectively. Trademarks were considered to be indefinite-lived assets.

On October 28, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Quallion, LLC, a manufacturer of lithium ion cells and batteries for medical devices, defense, aviation and space, headquartered in Sylmar, California, for $25,800, net of cash acquired. The Company acquired tangible and intangible assets, in connection with the acquisition, including trademarks, technology, customer relationships and goodwill. Based on preliminary valuations performed, trademarks were valued at $500, technology at $4,400, customer relationships at $3,400, and goodwill was recorded at $13,502. The useful life of technology and customer relationships were estimated at 20 and 14 years, respectively. Trademarks were considered to be indefinite-lived assets.

On January 27, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of UTS Holdings Sdn. Bhd. and its subsidiaries, a distributor of motive and reserve power battery products and services, headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for $25,332, net of cash acquired. The Company acquired tangible and intangible assets, including trademarks, customer relationships and goodwill. Based on initial valuations performed, trademarks were valued at $1,294, customer relationships at $2,586 and goodwill was recorded at $9,254. The average life of customer relationships were estimated at 10 years and trademarks were considered to be indefinite-lived assets.

The Company made an initial allocation of the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. The valuation of these tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities is preliminary, subject to completion of a formal valuation process and further management review, and may be retrospectively adjusted, if necessary, as additional information becomes available. The excess of the

57

purchase price over the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been allocated to goodwill.

The results of these acquisitions have been included in the Company’s results of operations from the dates of their respective acquisitions. Pro forma earnings and earnings per share computations have not been presented as these acquisitions are not considered material. Net sales and net earnings attributable to EnerSys stockholders, related to the fiscal 2014 acquisitions were $68,231 and $2,126, respectively, during fiscal 2014.

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances that indicate goodwill is more likely than not impaired. During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company determined that the fair value of its subsidiary in India, which was acquired in fiscal 2012, was less than its carrying amount based on the Company's analysis of the estimated future expected cash flows the Company anticipates from the operations of this subsidiary. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $5,179 for goodwill impairment relating to this subsidiary.

The Company estimated tax-deductible goodwill to be approximately $28,126 and $10,444 as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

2011 Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

The Company is party to a $350,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (“2011 Credit Facility”) which matures in September 2018. This facility includes an early termination provision under which the Company is required to meet a liquidity test in February 2015 related to its capacity to meet certain potential obligations related to the Convertible Notes in June 2015. Borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate based, at the Company’s option, upon (i) LIBOR plus an applicable percentage (currently 1.25%), (ii) the greater of the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% or the prime rate, or one-month LIBOR plus 1.0%, plus an applicable percentage (currently 0.25%). The interest rate at the end of March 31, 2014 was 1.39%. There are no prepayment penalties on loans under the 2011 Credit Facility. The Company had $125,000 revolver borrowings outstanding under its 2011 Credit Facility as of March 31, 2014. These borrowings were primarily utilized to fund new acquisitions. The Company had no borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2013.

Obligations under the 2011 Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s existing and future acquired assets, including substantially all of the capital stock of the Company’s United States subsidiaries that are guarantors under the credit facility, and 65% of the capital stock of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are owned by the Company’s United States companies.

Amendment to 2011 Credit Facility

In August 2013 and December 2013, the Company amended its 2011 Credit Facility. The key amendments to the agreement were extending the maturity until September 2018, and increasing flexibility for entering into acquisitions and joint ventures, divestitures, stock buybacks and cash dividend payments. The Company incurred $853 in deferred financing fees in connection with the amendments.

Senior Unsecured 3.375% Convertible Notes

On May 28, 2008, the Company completed a registered offering of $172,500 aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured 3.375% Convertible Notes Due 2038 (“Convertible Notes”) (see prospectus and supplemental indenture dated May 28, 2008). The Company received net proceeds of $168,200 after the deduction of commissions and offering expenses. The Company used all of the net proceeds to repay a portion of its then existing senior secured credit facility.

The Convertible Notes are general senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured obligations and are junior to any of the Company’s future secured obligations to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such obligations. The Convertible Notes are not guaranteed, and are structurally subordinate in right of payment to, all of the (i) existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries and (ii) preferred stock of the Company’s subsidiaries to the extent of their respective liquidation preferences.

The Convertible Notes require the semi annual payment of interest in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year beginning December 1, 2008, at 3.375% per annum on the principal amount outstanding. The Convertible Notes will accrete principal beginning on June 1, 2015 and will bear contingent interest, if any, beginning with the six-month interest period commencing on June 1, 2015 under certain circumstances.

The Convertible Notes will mature on June 1, 2038, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Prior to maturity, the holders may convert their Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time after March 1, 2015 or prior to that date under certain circumstances. When issued, the initial conversion rate was 24.6305 shares per one thousand dollars in principal amount of Convertible Notes, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of $40.60 per share. The conversion rate as of April 1, 2014, the date when the the holders were notified that they can submit the Convertible Notes for conversion was 24.8385 shares of the Company's common stock per one thousand dollars in principal amount of the Convertible Notes or $40.26 per share, due to the cumulative impact of cash dividends paid on the Company's common stock. Based on this conversion rate, the number of shares to be delivered upon conversion is 4,284,641. The conversion price is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. It is the Company’s current intent to settle the principal amount of any conversions in cash, and any additional conversion consideration in cash, shares of EnerSys common stock or a combination of cash and shares.

At any time after June 6, 2015, the Company may at its option redeem the Convertible Notes, in whole or in part, for cash, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest.

Holders may convert their Convertible Notes prior to March 1, 2015, at the option of the holder, under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price (as defined in the indenture for the Convertible Notes) of a share of EnerSys common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price in effect for the Convertible Notes on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, (ii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, or (iii) during the five business-day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” (as defined in the indenture for the Convertible Notes) of the Convertible Notes for each day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the “last reported sale price” (as defined in the indenture for the Convertible Notes) of a share of EnerSys common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such day.

At March 31, 2014, the closing price of the Company's common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price for more than 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending March 31, 2014, thereby satisfying one of the early conversion events and as a result, the Convertible Notes became convertible on demand, and the holders were notified that they can elect to submit the Convertible Notes for conversion, between the notification date of April 1, 2014 and June 30, 2014. The carrying value of the Convertible Notes of $162,887 continues to be reported as long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2014 as the Company intends to draw on the $350,000, 2011 Credit Facility to settle the principal amount of any such conversions in cash and issue shares or a combination of cash and shares for the remaining value of the

62

Convertible Notes. No gain or loss was recognized when the debt became convertible. The estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes was approximately $301,875 as of March 31, 2014.

This optional conversion period is reset each quarter and the Company will reassess on the last day of each calendar quarter.

In addition, upon becoming convertible, a portion of the equity component that was recorded upon the issuance of the Convertible Notes was considered redeemable and that portion of the equity was reclassified to temporary equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Such amount was determined based on the cash considerations to be paid upon conversion and the carrying amount of the debt. As the holders of the Convertible Notes will be paid in cash for the principal amount and issued shares or a combination of cash and shares for the remaining value of the Convertible Notes, the reclassification into temporary equity as of March 31, 2014 was $9,613 based on the Convertible Notes principal of $172,500 and the carrying value of $162,887. If a conversion event takes place in the following quarter, this temporary equity balance will be recalculated based on the difference between the Convertible Notes principal and the debt carrying value. If the Convertible Notes are settled during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, an amount equal to the fair value of the liability component immediately prior to the settlement will be deducted from the fair value of the total settlement consideration transferred and allocated to the liability component. Any difference between the amount allocated to the liability and the net carrying amount of the Convertible Notes (including any unamortized debt issue costs and discount) will be recognized in earnings as a gain or loss on debt extinguishment. Any remaining consideration is allocated to the reacquisition of the equity component and will be recognized as a reduction of EnerSys stockholders’ equity.

The following represents the principal amount of the liability component, the unamortized discount, and the net carrying amount of our Convertible Notes as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

	March 31, 2014			March 31, 2013
Principal	$	172,500		$	172,500
Unamortized discount	(9,613		)	(17,227		)
Net carrying amount	$	162,887		$	155,273

As of March 31, 2014, the remaining discount will be amortized over a period of 14 months. 

The effective interest rate on the liability component of the Convertible Notes was 8.50%. The amount of interest cost recognized for the amortization of the discount on the liability component of the Convertible Notes was $7,614, $7,001 and $6,435, respectively, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

The Company paid $8,490, $10,056 and $8,933, net of interest received, for interest during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company’s financing agreements contain various covenants, which, absent prepayment in full of the indebtedness and other obligations, or the receipt of waivers, would limit the Company’s ability to conduct certain specified business transactions including incurring debt, mergers, consolidations or similar transactions, buying or selling assets out of the ordinary course of business, engaging in sale and leaseback transactions, paying dividends and certain other actions. The Company is in compliance with all such covenants.

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following tables represent the financial assets and (liabilities), measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 and the basis for that measurement:

	Total Fair Value Measurement March 31, 2014			Quoted Price in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Interest rate swap agreements	$	—		$	—	$	—		$	—

Foreign currency forward contracts	(11		)	—		(11		)	—
Total derivatives	$	(3,497	)	$	—	$	(3,497	)	$	—

The fair values of interest rate swap agreements are based on observable prices as quoted for receiving the variable three-month LIBOR and paying fixed interest rates and, therefore, were classified as Level 2. At March 31, 2014, the Company had no interest rate swap agreements.

The fair values of lead forward contracts are calculated using observable prices for lead as quoted on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”) and, therefore, were classified as Level 2.

The fair values for foreign currency forward contracts are based upon current quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2 based on the nature of the underlying market in which these derivatives are traded.

Financial Instruments

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate carrying value due to their short maturities.

The fair values of the Company’s short-term debt approximates its carrying value, as it is variable rate debt and the terms are comparable to market terms as of the balance sheet dates and is classified as Level 2.

The Company's senior 3.375% Convertible Notes, with a face value of $172,500, were issued when the Company’s stock price was trading at $30.19 per share. On March 31, 2014, the Company’s stock price closed at $69.29 per share. The Convertible Notes have a conversion option of $40.26 per share which equates to 24.8385 shares of the Company's common stock per one thousand dollars in principal amount of the Convertible Notes as of April 1, 2014, the date when the the holders were notified that they can submit the Convertible Notes for conversion. The conversion rate may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes and the indenture under which the Convertible Notes were issued. The fair value of these notes represent the trading values based upon quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2. The Convertible Notes were trading at 175% of face value on March 31, 2014, and 126% of face value on March 31, 2013. See Note 8 for further details.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s derivatives and Convertible Notes at March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

	March 31, 2014						March 31, 2013
	Carrying Amount			Fair Value			Carrying Amount			Fair Value

12. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, under established procedures and controls. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes. The Company’s agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions and the Company anticipates performance by counterparties to these contracts and therefore no material loss is expected.

Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships

Lead Hedge Forward Contracts

The Company enters into lead hedge forward contracts to fix the price for a portion of its lead purchases. Management considers the lead hedge forward contracts to be effective against changes in the cash flows of the underlying lead purchases. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year and the notional amounts at March 31, 2014 and 2013 were 89.9 million pounds and 56.3 million pounds, respectively.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of the Company’s foreign currency exposures for lead as well as well as other foreign currency exposures so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the underlying foreign currency denominated exposures. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had entered into a total of $70,332 and $51,366, respectively, of such contracts.

In the coming twelve months, the Company anticipates that $3,600 of net pretax loss relating to lead and foreign currency forward contracts will be reclassified from AOCI as part of cost of goods sold. This amount represents the current unrealized impact of hedging lead and foreign exchange rates, which will change as market rates change in the future, and will ultimately be realized in the income statement as an offset to the corresponding actual changes in lead costs to be realized in connection with the variable lead cost and foreign exchange rates being hedged.

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

As of March 31, 2013, the Company maintained interest rate swap agreements that converted $65,000 of variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, utilizing the three-month LIBOR, as a floating rate reference. These agreements expired in May 2013, and the Company had no interest rate swap agreements as of March 31, 2014.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge foreign currency fluctuations on intercompany loans and foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. These are not designated as hedging instruments and changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded directly within other (income) expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the notional amount of these contracts was $22,461 and $21,749, respectively.

Presented below in tabular form is information on the location and amounts of derivative fair values in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and derivative gains and losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income:

United States	$	47,753	$	107,191	$	87,597
Foreign	115,994		123,042		103,662
Earnings before income taxes	$	163,747	$	230,233	$	191,259

Income taxes paid by the Company for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $76,644, $64,210 and $38,482, respectively.

The following table sets forth the tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities:

	March 31,
	2014			2013
Deferred tax assets:
Accounts receivable	$	1,204		$	660

Total deferred tax liabilities	121,621			100,378
Net deferred tax liabilities	$	(5,787	)	$	(39,605	)

The Company has approximately $8,993 in United States federal net operating loss carryforwards, all of which are limited by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, with expirations between 2024 and 2033. The Company has approximately

69

$187,310 of foreign net operating loss carryforwards, of which $160,809 may be carried forward indefinitely and $26,501 expire between 2018 and 2022. In addition, the Company also had approximately $36,333 of state net operating loss carryforwards with expirations between 2015 and 2034.

As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the federal valuation allowance was $1,750 and $0, respectively. The increase related to a capital loss deferred tax asset recorded in the current fiscal year that is not expected to be realized. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the valuation allowance associated with the state tax jurisdictions was $1,974 and $1,761, respectively. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the valuation allowance associated with certain foreign tax jurisdictions was $19,859 and $52,781, respectively, a decrease of $32,922, of which, $22,281 resulted in a decrease to tax expense. The remaining decrease is primarily related to currency fluctuations, the sale of one of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, and an offset to adjustments to foreign net operating losses for which a full valuation allowance was recorded. The $22,281 net decrease to tax expense includes a decrease of $25,950 due to the reversal of a previously recognized deferred tax valuation allowance related to one of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, and an increase of $3,669 primarily related to net operating loss carryforwards generated in the currrent year.

A reconciliation of income taxes at the statutory rate to the income tax provision is as follows:

	Fiscal year ended March 31,
	2014			2013			2012
United States statutory income tax expense (at 35%)	$	57,311		$	80,581		$	66,962
Increase (decrease) resulting from:
State income taxes, net of federal effect	(647		)	3,742			1,592
Nondeductible expenses, domestic manufacturing deduction and other	5,124			7,664			1,587
Effect of foreign operations	(24,277		)	(27,883		)	(20,028		)
Valuation allowance	(20,531		)	1,171			(2,821		)
Income tax expense	$	16,980		$	65,275		$	47,292

The effective income tax rate for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were 10.4%, 28.4% and 24.7%, respectively.

At March 31, 2014, the Company has not recorded United States income or foreign withholding taxes on approximately $688,870 of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that could be subject to taxation if remitted to the United States because the Company currently plans to keep these amounts permanently invested overseas. It is not practical to calculate the income tax expense that would result upon repatriation of these earnings.

70

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

March 31, 2011	$	10,645
Increases related to current year tax positions	5,032
Increases related to prior year tax positions	182
Decreases related to prior year tax positions due to foreign currency translation	(28		)
Lapse of statute of limitations	(2,886		)
March 31, 2012	12,945
Increases related to current year tax positions	6,296
Increases related to prior year tax positions	969
Increases related to prior year tax positions due to foreign currency translation	245
Lapse of statute of limitations	(3,970		)
March 31, 2013	16,485
Increases related to current year tax positions	207
Increases related to prior year tax positions	2,877
Decreases related to prior tax positions due to foreign currency translation	(68		)
Decreases related to prior year tax positions	(14,835		)
Lapse of statute of limitations	(923		)
March 31, 2014	$	3,743

All of the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2014 and 2013, if recognized, would be included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and have a favorable impact on both the Company’s net earnings and effective tax rate.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010.

While the net effect on total unrecognized tax benefits cannot be reasonably estimated, approximately $240 is expected to reverse in fiscal 2015 due to expiration of various statute of limitations.

The Company recognizes tax related interest and penalties in income tax expense in its Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had an accrual of $522 and $680, respectively, for interest and penalties.

14. Retirement Plans

Defined Benefit Plans

The Company provides retirement benefits to substantially all eligible salaried and hourly employees. The Company uses a measurement date of March 31 for its pension plans.

Net periodic pension cost for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, includes the following components:

	United States Plans									International Plans
	Fiscal year ended March 31,									Fiscal year ended March 31,

Assumptions

Significant assumptions used to determine the net periodic benefit cost for the US and International plans were as follows:

	United States Plans						International Plans
	Fiscal year ended March 31,						Fiscal year ended March 31,
	2014		2013		2012		2014	2013	2012
Discount rate	4.0	%	4.8	%	5.7	%	2.5-4.4%	2.5-5.5%	4.0-5.5%

Rate of compensation increase	N/A		N/A		N/A		2.0-4.0	2.0-4.0	2.0-4.0

73

Significant assumptions used to determine the projected benefit obligations for the US and International plans were as follows:

	United States Plans				International Plans
	March 31,				March 31,
	2014		2013		2014	2013
Discount rate	4.5	%	4.0	%	3.0-4.6%	2.5-4.4%
Expected return on plan assets	7.8		8.0		3.5-7.0	4.0-7.0
Rate of compensation increase	N/A		N/A		2.0-4.0	2.0-4.0

N/A = not applicable

The United States plans do not include compensation in the formula for determining the pension benefit as it is based solely on years of service.

The expected long-term rate of return for the Company’s pension plan assets is based upon the target asset allocation and is determined using forward looking assumptions in the context of historical returns and volatilities for each asset class, as well as correlations among asset classes. The Company evaluates the rate of return assumptions for each of its plans on an annual basis.

Pension Plan Investment Strategy

The Company’s investment policy emphasizes a balanced approach to investing in securities of high quality and ready marketability. Investment flexibility is encouraged so as not to exclude opportunities available through a diversified investment strategy.

Equity investments are maintained within a target range of 40%-75% of the total portfolio market value. Investments in debt securities include issues of various maturities, and the average quality rating of bonds should be investment grade with a minimum quality rating of “B” at the time of purchase.

The Company periodically reviews the asset allocation of its portfolio. The proportion committed to equities, debt securities and cash and cash equivalents is a function of the values available in each category and risk considerations. The plan’s overall return will be compared to and expected to meet or exceed established benchmark funds and returns over a three to five year period.

The objectives of the Company’s investment strategies are: (a) the achievement of a reasonable long-term rate of total return consistent with an emphasis on preservation of capital and purchasing power, (b) stability of annual returns through a portfolio risk level, which is appropriate to conservative accounts, and (c) reflective of the Company’s willingness to forgo significantly above-average rewards in order to minimize above-average risks. These objectives may not be met each year but should be attained over a reasonable period of time.

The fair values presented above were determined based on valuation techniques to measure fair value as discussed in Note 1.

(a) US equities include companies that are well diversified by industry sector and equity style (i.e., growth and value strategies). Active and passive management strategies are employed. Investments are primarily in large capitalization stocks and, to a lesser extent, mid- and small-cap stocks.

(b) International equities are invested in companies that are traded on exchanges outside the U.S. and are well diversified by industry sector, country and equity style. Active and passive strategies are employed. The vast majority of the investments are made in companies in developed markets with a small percentage in emerging markets.

(c) Fixed income consists primarily of investment grade bonds from diversified industries.

The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $2,898 to its pension plans in fiscal 2015.

Estimated future benefit payments under the Company’s pension plans are as follows:

	Pension Benefits
2015	$	2,697
2016	2,653

As of March 31, 2014, 2,174,313 shares are available for future grants. The Company’s management equity incentive plans are intended to provide an incentive to employees and non-employee directors of the Company to remain in the service of the Company and to increase their interest in the success of the Company in order to promote the long-term interests of the Company. The plans seek to promote the highest level of performance by providing an economic interest in the long-term performance of the Company. The Company settles employee share-based compensation awards with newly issued shares.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are routinely defendants in or parties to many pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. These actions and proceedings are generally based on alleged violations of environmental, anti-competition, employment, contract and other laws. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Company and its subsidiaries. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to regulatory and governmental examinations, information gathering requests, inquiries, investigations, and threatened legal actions and proceedings. In connection with formal and informal inquiries by federal, state, local and foreign agencies, such subsidiaries receive numerous requests, subpoenas and orders for documents, testimony and information in connection with various aspects of their activities.

In view of the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of such litigation, regulatory and governmental matters, particularly where the claimants seek very large or indeterminate damages or where the matters present novel legal theories or involve a large number of parties, the Company generally cannot predict what the eventual outcome of the pending matters will be, what the timing of the ultimate resolution of these matters will be, or what the eventual loss, fines or penalties related to each pending matter may be.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company establishes an accrued liability for litigation, regulatory and governmental matters when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. As a litigation, regulatory or governmental matter develops, the Company, in conjunction with any outside counsel handling the matter, evaluates on an ongoing basis whether such matter presents a loss contingency that is probable and estimable. When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Company does not establish an accrued liability. If, at the time of evaluation, the loss contingency related to a litigation, regulatory or governmental matter is not both probable and estimable, the matter will continue to be monitored for further developments that would make such loss contingency both probable and estimable. Once the loss contingency related to a litigation, regulatory or governmental matter is deemed to be both probable and estimable, the Company will establish an accrued liability with respect to such loss contingency and record a corresponding amount of litigation-related expense. The Company continues to monitor the matter for further developments that could affect the amount of the accrued liability that has been previously established.

Altergy

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded a $58,184 legal proceedings charge in connection with an adverse arbitration result involving disputes between the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, EnerSys Delaware Inc. (“EDI”), and Altergy Systems (“Altergy”). EDI and Altergy were parties to a Supply and Distribution Agreement (the “SDA”) pursuant to which EDI was, among other things, granted the exclusive right to distribute and sell certain fuel cell products manufactured by Altergy for various applications throughout the United States. Commencing in 2011, various disputes arose and, because of the mandatory arbitration provision in the SDA, an arbitration action was filed by EDI in November 2012 seeking arbitration of claims relating to the SDA. In February 2013, EDI terminated the SDA. Following unsuccessful attempts to resolve their disputes by mediation in July 2013, the parties moved forward with arbitration in August 2013, where each party asserted various claims against the other.

After discovery, a hearing and post-hearing submissions by each party, on May 13, 2014, the arbitration panel issued an award in favor of Altergy. As a result, the arbitration panel concluded that Altergy should recover $58,184 in net money damages from EDI. On May 13, 2014, Altergy filed a petition with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California seeking to confirm the arbitration panel award as well as post-award, prejudgment interest at the rate of 5.75% and post-judgment interest at the applicable federal statutory rate.

We are currently reviewing our options with our legal counsel to challenge this award, however there can be no assurances that a challenge, if and when made, will ultimately be successful. The full amount of the award was recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 with an after tax expense of approximately $35,667. Adjustments to the accrual may be made in future periods depending on the outcome of any challenge.

EnerSys Sarl Litigation

In fiscal 2009, the Court of Commerce in Lyon, France ruled that the Company’s French subsidiary, EnerSys Sarl, which was acquired by the Company in 2002, was partially responsible for a 1999 fire in a French hotel under construction. The Company’s portion of damages was assessed at €2,700 or $4,200, which was duly recorded and paid by the Company, but the ruling was appealed. In a subsequent ruling by the Court of Appeal of Lyon, France, portion of damages was reduced, entitling the Company to a refund of the monies paid of €671 or $900, which has been recorded and collected in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company further appealed the ruling to the French Supreme Court, which on March 14, 2012, ruled in the Company’s favor and ordered the case back to the Court of Appeal of Lyon to further review certain aspects of the original decision in the case, including the assessment of damages. The Court of Appeal of Lyon heard arguments on April 9, 2013 and ruled in the Company’s favor on June 11, 2013, entitling the Company to a refund of the monies paid of €2,000, or $2,756. One of the parties to the litigation that is adverse to the Company has appealed this ruling to the French Supreme Court, with a ruling expected in the 4th quarter of fiscal 2015. While the Company intends to pursue these matters vigorously, there can be no assurances as to the outcome of the matter. Additionally, the Company recorded no accrual or receivable based upon the June 2013 ruling of the Court of Appeal of Lyon, but adjustments may be made in future periods depending on the outcome of the appeal to the French Supreme Court.

Environmental Issues

As a result of its operations, the Company is subject to various federal, state and local, as well as international environmental laws and regulations and is exposed to the costs and risks of registering, handling, processing, storing, transporting, and disposing of hazardous substances, especially lead and acid. The Company’s operations are also subject to federal, state, local and international occupational safety and health regulations, including laws and regulations relating to exposure to lead in the workplace.

The Company is responsible for certain cleanup obligations at the former Yuasa battery facility in Sumter, South Carolina that predates its ownership of this facility. This manufacturing facility was closed in 2001 and is separate from the Company’s current metal fabrication facility in Sumter. The Company has established a reserve for this facility. As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the reserves related to this facility were $2,915. Based on current information, the Company’s management believes these reserves are adequate to satisfy the Company’s environmental liabilities at this facility.

Collective Bargaining

At March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately 9,500 employees. Of these employees, approximately 34% were covered by collective bargaining agreements. Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements that did not exceed twelve months were approximately 13%. The average term of these agreements is two years, with the longest term being four years.

Lead Contracts

To stabilize its costs, the Company has entered into contracts with financial institutions to fix the price of lead. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. Under these contracts, at March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has hedged the price to purchase approximately 89.9 million pounds and 56.3 million pounds of lead, respectively, for a total purchase price of $86,494 and $56,601, respectively.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company quantifies and monitors its global foreign currency exposures. On a selective basis, the Company will enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to reduce the volatility from currency movements that affect the Company. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. The Company’s largest exposure is from the purchase and conversion of U.S. dollar based lead costs into local currencies in EMEA. Additionally, the Company has currency exposures from intercompany and third-party trade transactions. To hedge these exposures, the Company has entered into a total of $92,793 and $73,115, respectively, of foreign currency forward contracts with financial institutions as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company is exposed to changes in variable U.S. interest rates on borrowings under its 2011 Credit Facility. On a selective basis, from time to time, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the negative impact that increases in interest rates could have on its outstanding variable rate debt. These agreements expired in May 2013 and the Company had no interest rate swap agreements at March 31, 2014. At March 31, 2013, such agreements converted $65,000 of variable-rate debt

82

to a fixed-rate basis utilizing the three-month LIBOR as a floating rate reference. Fluctuations in LIBOR and fixed rates affect both the Company’s net financial investment position and the amount of cash to be paid or received under these agreements.

Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. With the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 framework). Our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of entities that were acquired ( Purcell Systems, Inc., Quallion, LLC, and UTS Holdings Sdn. Bhd. and its subsidiaries ) during fiscal 2014, which are included in the fiscal 2014 consolidated financial statements and constituted 9.9% of total assets as of March 31, 2014 and 2.8% of net sales for the year then ended.

Based on this evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2014.

The attestation report called for by Item 308(b) of Registration S-K is included herein as “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm,” which appears in Item 8 in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
