Basis of Presentation - The accompanying Consolidated (Condensed) Financial Statements include the accounts of Energizer and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated. Energizer has no material equity method investments, variable interests or non-controlling interests.

The accompanying Consolidated (Condensed) Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The year-ended September 30, 2022 Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet was derived from the audited financial statements included in Energizer's Report on Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of our operations, financial position and cash flows have been included. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current presentation. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other quarter or for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for Energizer for the year ended September 30, 2022 included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K dated November 15, 2022.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements – In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2020-04, ASC 848 was amended by ASU 2021-01 Scope, and ASU 2022-06 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (collectively ASC 848). Topic 848 provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR. These updates are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2024. The Company has adopted the provisions of these updates on October 1, 2022 and has applied the guidance prospectively to contract modifications that were entered into for the purpose of establishing a new reference rate during the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Refer to notes 8 and 11 for additional information. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to the Company's financial statements.

(2) Revenue Recognition

The Company, through its operating subsidiaries, is one of the world’s largest manufacturers, marketers and distributors of household batteries, specialty batteries and lighting products, and is a leading designer and marketer of automotive fragrance, appearance, performance and air conditioning recharge products. The Company distributes its products to consumers through numerous retail locations worldwide, including mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs, food, drug and convenience stores, electronics specialty stores and department stores, hardware and automotive centers, e-commerce and military stores. The Company sells to its customers through a combination of a direct sales force and exclusive and non-exclusive third-party distributors and wholesalers.

The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from the sale of finished product to customers. Sales predominantly contain a single delivery element, or performance obligation, and revenue is recognized at a single point in time

when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer. This typically occurs when finished goods are delivered to the customer or when finished goods are picked up by the carrier at origin or the customer, depending on contract terms.

North America sales are generally through large retailers with nationally or regionally recognized brands.

Our International sales, which includes Latin America, are comprised of modern trade, developing and distributor market groups. Modern trade, which is most prevalent in Western Europe and more developed economies throughout the world, generally refers to sales through large retailers with nationally or regionally recognized brands. Developing markets generally include sales by wholesalers or small retailers who may not have a national or regional presence. Distributors are utilized in other markets where the Company does not have a direct sales force. Each market's determination is based on the predominant customer type or sales strategy utilized in the market.

Supplemental product and market information is presented below for revenues from external customers for the quarters and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

(3) Acquisitions

Formulations Acquisition - During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Green Global Holdings, LLC to acquire a North Carolina-based company that specializes in developing formulations for cleaning tasks (Formulations Acquisition). The Formulations Acquisition was completed for a cash purchase price of $51.2. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the working capital settlement was finalized, reducing the purchase price by $1.0, of which $0.4 was paid to the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and the remaining $0.6 was settled in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The product formulations acquired are both sold to customers directly and licensed to manufacturers.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The fair value of proprietary technology acquired and customer relationships were determined by applying the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach.

	Total		Weighted Average Useful Lives
Proprietary technology	$	19.5	7
Customer relationships	1.0		15
Total Other intangible assets, net	$	20.5

The Company finalized their purchase price accounting in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The goodwill acquired in this acquisition is attributable to the value the Company expects to achieve from the significant innovation capabilities in formulations that the acquired company will bring to our organization, as well as the workforce acquired. The goodwill was allocated to the Americas segment prior to the Company's reorganization of our reportable segments on October 1, 2021. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company entered into incentive compensation agreements with certain key personnel. These agreements are not considered a component of the acquisition purchase price but rather as employee compensation arrangements. During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, $1.1 of this earn-out was recorded on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income in Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A). No amounts have been recognized for the second or third performance years under the agreements at June 30, 2023. Subsequent to the quarter, on July 7, 2023, the Company terminated these agreements and no further earn out amounts will be paid.

Pro Forma Financial Information- Pro forma results for the Formulations Acquisition were not considered material and, as such, are not included.

Acquisition and Integration Costs- Acquisition and integration costs incurred during fiscal year 2022 relate to the Formulations Acquisition, and the Battery and Auto Care Acquisitions which occurred in fiscal year 2019. The Company incurred pre-tax acquisition and integration costs of $16.5 in the nine months ended June 30, 2022. There were no acquisition and integration costs incurred during the nine months ended June 30, 2023.

(4) Restructuring

Project Momentum Restructuring - In November 2022, the Board of Directors approved a profit recovery program, Project Momentum, which includes an enterprise-wide restructuring focused on recovering operating margins, optimizing our manufacturing, distribution and global supply chain networks, and enhancing our organizational efficiency throughout the Company.

In July 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved an expansion to the Project Momentum profit recovery program and delegated authority to the Company's management to determine the final actions with respect to the plan. The expansion of this program will include an additional year, which will allow for additional optimization of our battery manufacturing, distribution and global supply chain networks, further review of our global real estate footprint and the implementation of IT systems that will allow us to streamline our organization and fully execute the program. Based on the expanded scope and additional year, incremental costs will be incurred to successfully execute the program. It is estimated that the Company will incur total pre-tax exit-related cash operating costs associated with these plans of approximately $95 to $110, non-cash costs of approximately $12, and capital expenditures of $50 to $60 through the end of fiscal 2025.

2019 Restructuring Program - In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019, the Company began implementing restructuring related integration plans for our manufacturing and distribution networks. These plans included the closure and combination of distribution and manufacturing facilities in order to reduce complexity and realize greater efficiencies in our manufacturing, packaging and distribution processes. All activities within these plans were substantially completed by December 31, 2021, and the Company does not expect to incur additional material charges associated with these plans.

Part of this plan was the exit of our Dixon, IL leased packaging facility, which the Company vacated during the first

quarter of fiscal 2022. In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company entered into a termination agreement with the

landlord. Since the Company has already vacated the facility as a part of the 2019 restructuring program, most

assets associated with the location have already been fully depreciated. The termination of this lease resulted in a

gain of $4.5 recognized in Other items, net during the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

2020 Restructuring Program - In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020, the Company initiated a new restructuring program with a primary focus on reorganizing its global end-to-end supply chain network and ensuring accountability by category. This program included streamlining the Company’s end-to-end supply chain model to enable rapid response to category specific demands and enhancing our ability to better serve our customers. This program was substantially complete by December 31, 2021. The Company does not expect to incur additional material charges associated with this program.

(5) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is based on the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the average number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of restricted stock unit (RSU) awards, performance share awards, deferred compensation equity plans and the conversion of the Mandatory convertible preferred stock (MCPS).

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, the MCPS were converted to approximately 4.7 million shares of

Common stock and are no longer outstanding for fiscal 2023. For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, the issued common shares are included in the basic weighted average common shares outstanding for the period subsequent to the conversion, and included in the diluted calculation prior to their conversion using the if-converted method and are only included if the conversion would be further dilutive to the calculation.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

(in millions, except per share data)	For the Quarters Ended June 30,				For the Nine Months Ended June 30,

Diluted net earnings per common share	$	0.44	$	0.73	$	1.67	$	1.82

For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, there were no antidilutive RSU shares and for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, 0.4 million RSU were anti-dilutive and not included in the diluted net earnings per share calculation. For the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 0.1 million and 0.4 million RSU, respectively, were antidilutive and not included in the diluted net earnings per share calculation.

Performance based RSU shares of 1.3 million and 1.6 million were excluded for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, as the performance targets for those awards have not been achieved as of the end of the applicable periods. For the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, performance based RSU of 1.3 million and 1.6 million, respectively, were excluded as the performance targets for those awards have not been achieved as of the end of the applicable periods.

(6) Segments

Operations for Energizer are managed via two product segments: Batteries & Lights and Auto Care. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment operating profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses (including share-based compensation costs), amortization of intangibles, acquisition and integration activities, restructuring and related costs, acquisition earn out, the costs of the May 2022 flooding of our Brazilian manufacturing facility, costs of exiting the Russian market and other items determined to be corporate in nature. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, (loss)/gain on extinguishment of debt and the gain on finance lease termination,are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of restructuring costs and acquisition and integration costs from segment results reflects management’s view on how it evaluates segment performance.

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

Credit Agreement - During the first first six months of fiscal 2023, the Company pre-paid $125.0 of the Senior Secured Term Loan due in 2027 (Term Loan). During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company pre-paid an additional $41.0 of Term Loan. The Company wrote off deferred financing fees of $0.3 and $1.4 during the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as a result of these early payments. Subsequent to the quarter, the Company pre-paid an additional $20.0 of the Term Loan.

In February 2023, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to transition the interest reference rate from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to the Secured Overnight Finance Rate (SOFR). There were no other changes to the Company's Credit Agreement or timing of cash flows. The amendment was entered into because the LIBOR rate historically used was no longer published after June 30, 2023. The Company utilized expedients within ASC 848 to conclude that this amendment should be treated as a non-substantial modification of the existing contract resulting in no impact to the Company's financial statements.

On December 31, 2021, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to increase the 2020 Revolving Facility to $500.0, from the original $400.0 revolving credit facility.

Borrowings under the Term Loan require quarterly principal payments at a rate of 0.25% of the original principal balance, or $3.0. Borrowings under the 2020 Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, SOFR or the Base Rate (as defined) plus the applicable margin. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus the applicable margin. The Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the 2020 Revolving Facility and $7.1 of outstanding letters of credit. Taking into account outstanding letters of credit, $492.9 remained available under the 2020 Revolving Facility as of June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company's weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings was 7.3% and 4.7%, respectively.

Senior Notes - During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company retired $16.3 of the 4.750% Senior Notes due in 2028 and $8.7 of the 4.375% Senior Notes due in 2029 for a cash cost of $21.6. The Company wrote off $0.3 of deferred financing fees as a result of these transactions.

The prepayment of the Term Loan during the quarter resulted in a net Loss on extinguishment of debt for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 of $0.3 recorded on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The retirement of Senior Notes and prepayment of the Term Loan during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 resulted in a net Gain on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 of $1.7 recorded on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

On March 8, 2022, the Company completed a bond offering for $300.0 Senior Notes due in 2027 at 6.500% (2027 Notes). The proceeds from the offering were used to repay a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under the 2020 Revolving Facility and to pay fees and expenses related to the offering. Debt issuances fees paid associated with the 2027 Notes and Credit Agreement were $7.6 in the nine months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest Rate Swaps - In December 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with an effective date of December 22, 2020, that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) at an interest rate of 0.95% on variable rate debt of $550.0. On January 22, 2021, the notional value increased to $700.0 and will stay at that value through December 22, 2024. The notional value will decrease by $100.0 on December 22, 2024 and by $100.0 each year thereafter until its termination date on December 22, 2027.

In February 2023, the Company amended the 2020 Interest rate swap to coincide with the amended credit agreement, effectively fixing the variable benchmark component (SOFR) at an interest rate of 1.042%. There were no other changes to the interest rate swap agreement or expected timing of cash flows associated with the swap. The Company utilized expedients within ASC 848 to conclude that this modification should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing swap agreement, resulting in no impact on the Company's financial statements.

Refer to Note 11, Financial Instruments and Risk Management, for additional information on the Company's interest rate swap transactions.

Notes payable - The Company had $5.3 in Notes payable at June 30, 2023 and $6.4 at September 30, 2022. The balances are comprised of other borrowings, including those from foreign affiliates. At June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the 2020 Revolving Facility.

Debt Covenants - The agreements governing the Company's debt contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and provisions relating to events of default. If the Company fails to comply with these covenants or with other requirements of these debt agreements, the lenders may have the right to accelerate the maturity of the debt. Acceleration under one of these debt agreements would trigger cross defaults to other borrowings. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with its debt agreements.

The counterparties to long-term committed borrowings consist of a number of major financial institutions. The Company consistently monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside ratings agencies.

Debt Maturities - Aggregate maturities of long-term debt as of June 30, 2023 are as follows:

	Long-term debt
One year	$	12.0
Two year	12.0
Three year	12.0
Four year	12.0
Five year	1,842.7
Thereafter	1,500.4
Total long-term debt payments due	$	3,391.1

(9) Pension Plans

The Company has several defined benefit pension plans covering many of its employees in the U.S. and certain employees in other countries. The plans provide retirement benefits based on various factors including years of service and in certain circumstances, earnings. Most plans are now frozen to new entrants and for additional service.

The Company also sponsors or participates in a number of other non-U.S. pension arrangements, including various retirement and termination benefit plans, some of which are required by local law or coordinated with government-sponsored plans, which are not significant in the aggregate and, therefore, are not included in the information presented above.

(10) Shareholders' Equity

During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, all outstanding shares of the Company's MCPS automatically converted into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a rate of 2.1739 shares of the Company's common stock for each share of preferred stock. This resulted in the issuance of approximately 4.7 million shares of common stock.

In November 2020, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to 7.5 million shares of its common stock. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company entered into a $75.0 accelerated share repurchase (ASR) program. Under the terms of the agreement, approximately 1.5 million shares were delivered in fiscal 2021 and an additional approximately 0.5 million shares were delivered upon termination of the agreement on November 18, 2021. The total number of shares delivered was based on the volume-weighted average stock prices (VWAP) of the Company’s common stock during the ASR period of $38.30. The Company paid the full amount of the ASR in fiscal 2021 and recorded $60.0 of treasury stock representing the approximately 1.5 million shares delivered in fiscal 2021 and the remaining $15.0 was recorded as Additional paid in capital. With the delivery of the additional shares, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the $15.0 was reclassified to treasury stock on the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity.

Future share repurchases, if any, will be determined by the Company based on its evaluation of the market conditions, capital allocation objectives, legal and regulatory requirements and other factors.

(11) Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The market risk inherent in the Company's operations creates potential earnings volatility arising from changes in currency rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company's policy allows derivatives to be used only for identifiable exposures and, therefore, the Company does not enter into hedges for trading or speculative purposes where the sole objective is to generate profits.

Concentration of Credit Risk—The counterparties to derivative contracts consist of a number of major financial institutions and are generally institutions with which the Company maintains lines of credit. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts through brokers nor does it trade derivative contracts on any other exchange or over-the-counter markets. Risk of currency positions and mark-to-market valuation of positions are strictly monitored at all times.

The Company continually monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside rating agencies. While nonperformance by these counterparties exposes Energizer to potential credit losses, such losses are not anticipated.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to commodity price and foreign currency risks. The section below outlines the types of derivatives that existed at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, as well as the Company's objectives and strategies for holding these derivative instruments.

Commodity Price Risk—The Company uses raw materials that are subject to price volatility. At times, the Company uses hedging instruments to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with future purchases of certain materials and commodities.

Foreign Currency Risk—A significant portion of Energizer’s product cost is more closely tied to the U.S. dollar than to the local currencies in which the product is sold. As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar results in margin declines unless mitigated through pricing actions, which are not always available due to the economic or competitive environment. Conversely, a strengthening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve margins. The primary currencies to which Energizer is exposed include the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. However, the Company also has significant exposures in many other currencies which, in the aggregate, may have a material impact on the Company's operations.

ENERGIZER HOLDINGS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED (CONDENSED) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In millions - Unaudited)

Additionally, Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create nonfunctional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and, to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each period. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in a transaction gain or loss recorded in Other items, net on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The primary currency to which Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar.

Interest Rate Risk—The Company has interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. At June 30, 2023, the Company had variable rate debt outstanding of $1,007.0 under the 2020 Term Loan and the 2020 Revolving Facility.

In December 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap (2020 Interest rate swap), that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) at an interest rate of 0.95% on variable rate debt of $550.0. The notional value increased to $700.0 on January 22, 2021 and will stay at that value through December 22, 2024. The notional value will decrease by $100.0 on December 22, 2024 and by $100.0 each year thereafter until its termination date on December 22, 2027. The notional value of the swap was $700.0 at June 30, 2023.

In February 2023, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to transition the interest reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR. The amendment was entered into because the LIBOR rate historically used was no longer published after June 30, 2023. The Company also amended the 2020 Interest rate swap to coincide with the amended credit agreement, effectively fixing the variable benchmark component (SOFR) at an interest rate of 1.042%. There were no other changes to the interest rate swap agreement or expected timing of cash flows associated with the swap. The Company utilized expedients within ASC 848 to conclude that this modification should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing swap agreement, resulting in no impact on the Company's financial statements.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships—The Company has entered into a series of forward currency contracts to hedge the cash flow uncertainty of the forecasted payment of inventory purchases due to short term currency fluctuations. Energizer’s foreign affiliates, which have the largest exposure to U.S. dollar purchases, have the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar as their local currencies. These foreign currencies represent a significant portion of Energizer's foreign currency exposure. At June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, Energizer had an unrealized pre-tax loss of $3.0 and an unrealized pre-tax gain of $16.3, respectively, on these forward currency contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheets. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at June 30, 2023 levels, over the next 12 months, $2.9 of the pre-tax loss included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be recognized in earnings. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal year 2024. There were 68 open foreign currency contracts at June 30, 2023, with a total notional value of approximately $180.

The Company has entered into hedging contracts on future zinc purchases to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with price volatility. The contracts are determined to be cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting. The contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal 2025. There were 18 open contracts at June 30, 2023, with a total notional value of approximately $52. The unrealized pre-tax loss recognized on the zinc contracts was $7.5 and $6.1 at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, and was included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet.

At June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, Energizer recorded an unrealized pre-tax gain of $77.1 and $86.4, respectively, on the 2020 Interest rate swap agreement, both of which were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet.

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships—Energizer enters into foreign currency derivative contracts, which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, to hedge existing balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts are expected to be offset by corresponding exchange losses or gains on the underlying exposures, and as such are not subject to significant market risk. There were six open foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges at June 30, 2023, with a total notional value of approximately $73.

Fair Value Hierarchy—Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.

Under the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy, an entity is required to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 that are measured on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy:

	Level 2
(Liabilities)/Assets at estimated fair value:	June 30, 2023		September 30, 2022
Deferred compensation	$	(21.9)	$	(24.6)
Derivatives - Foreign Currency contracts	(3.0)		16.3
Derivatives - Foreign Currency contracts (non-hedge)	(0.8)		(0.6)
Derivatives - Interest Rate Swap contracts	77.1		86.4
Derivatives - Zinc contracts	(7.5)		(6.1)
Net Assets at estimated fair value	$	43.9	$	71.4

Energizer had no Level 1 financial assets or liabilities, other than pension plan assets, and no Level 3 financial assets or liabilities at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022. The Company does measure certain assets and

liabilities, such as Goodwill and Other intangibles, at fair value on a non-recurring basis using level 3 inputs. There were no level 3 fair value measurement gains or losses recognized during the quarters and nine months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents carrying amounts on the balance sheets approximate estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of cash was determined based on level 1 inputs and cash equivalents and restricted cash are determined based on Level 2 inputs.

At June 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Company's unfunded deferred compensation liability is determined based upon the quoted market prices of investment options that are offered under the plan. The estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts, interest rate swap and zinc contracts, as described above, is the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts, considering first, quoted market prices of comparable agreements, or in the absence of quoted market prices, such factors as interest rates, currency exchange rates and remaining maturities.

At June 30, 2023, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $2,065.3 compared to its carrying value of $2,384.1, and at September 30, 2022, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $1,795.7 compared to its carrying value of $2,337.1. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt is estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The estimated fair value of fixed rate long-term debt has been determined based on Level 2 inputs.

proceedings and claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. The Company reviews our legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, the Company believes that its liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, is not reasonably likely to be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, when taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities.

Other obligations - In the ordinary course of business, the Company also enters into supply and service contracts. These contracts can include either volume commitments or fixed expiration dates, termination provisions and other standard contractual considerations. At June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $11.3 of purchase obligations under these contracts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures provide users with additional meaningful comparisons to the corresponding historical or future period, and are used for management incentive compensation. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude items that are not reflective of the Company's on-going operating performance, such as restructuring and related costs, acquisition and integration costs, an acquisition earn out, the loss/(gain) on extinguishment of debt, the costs of the May 2022 flooding of our Brazilian manufacturing facility, the gain on finance lease termination, and the costs of exiting the Russian market. In addition, these measures help investors to analyze year over year comparability when excluding currency fluctuations as well as other Company initiatives that are not on-going. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are an enhancement to assist investors in understanding our business and in performing analysis consistent with financial models developed by research analysts. Investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, the comparable GAAP measures. In addition, these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures used by other companies due to possible differences in methods and in the items being adjusted.

We provide the following non-GAAP measures and calculations, as well as the corresponding reconciliation to the closest GAAP measure:

Segment Profit. This amount represents the operations of our two reportable segments including allocations for shared support functions. General corporate and other expenses, intangible amortization expense, interest expense, loss/(gain) on extinguishment of debt, other items, net, restructuring and related costs, the charges related to acquisition and integration costs, the costs of the flooding of our Brazilian manufacturing facility, the gain on finance lease termination, the costs of exiting the Russian market and an acquisition earn out have all been excluded from segment profit.

31

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share (EPS). These measures exclude the impact of the costs related to restructuring activities, acquisition and integration, an acquisition earn out, the costs of the flooding of our Brazilian manufacturing facility, the gain on finance lease termination, the costs of exiting the Russian market and the loss/(gain) on extinguishment of debt.

Non-GAAP Tax Rate. This is the tax rate when excluding the pre-tax impact of restructuring activities, acquisition and integration, an acquisition earn out, costs of exiting the Russian market, the costs of the flooding of our Brazilian manufacturing facility, the gain on finance lease termination, and the loss/(gain) on extinguishment of debt, as well as the related tax impact for these items, calculated utilizing the statutory rate for where the impact was incurred.

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

Change in Russia Operations. The Company exited the Russian market in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 due to the increased global and economic and political uncertainty resulting from the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. This adjusts for the change in Russian sales and segment profit from the prior year post exit.

Change in Argentina Operations. The Company is presenting separately all changes in sales and segment profit from our Argentina affiliate due to the designation of the economy as highly inflationary as of July 1, 2018.

Impact of currency. The Company evaluates the operating performance of our Company on a currency neutral basis. The Impact of Currency is the change in foreign currency exchange rates year-over-year on reported results, which is calculated by comparing the value of current year foreign operations at the current period USD exchange rate versus the value of current year foreign operations at the prior period USD exchange rate. The impact of currency also includes gains/(losses) of currency hedging programs, and it excludes hyper-inflationary markets.

Adjusted Selling, General & Administrative Expense (SG&A) and Gross Margin as a percent of sales. Detail for adjusted gross margin and adjusted SG&A as a percent of sales are also supplemental non-GAAP measures. These measures exclude the impact of costs related to restructuring activities, acquisition and integration, an acquisition earn out, the costs of the flooding of our Brazilian manufacturing facility, and the costs of exiting the Russian market.

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

We continue to monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our businesses and the overall economy. Uncertainty regarding any future impact of the pandemic on our businesses remains, and such impacts will ultimately depend on the length and severity of the pandemic, among other factors.

Macroeconomic Environment

An inflationary environment marked by higher manufacturing costs as well as increased commodity costs is expected to continue in fiscal 2023. While we did not experience significant disruptions in our operations so far in fiscal 2023, the risks of future negative impacts due to transportation, logistical or supply constraints and higher commodity costs for certain raw materials remain present, and the Company continues to experience corresponding incremental costs and gross margin pressures.

Exit of Russian Market

During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company exited the Russian market due to global economic and political uncertainty related to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the resultant sanctions imposed on Russia.

While neither Russia nor Ukraine constitutes a material portion of our business, a significant escalation or expansion of economic disruption or the conflict's current scope could disrupt our supply chain, broaden inflationary costs, and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Our Russian subsidiary comprised approximately one percent of our business.

32

With the decision to exit the Russian market, the Company terminated the employment of all our Russian colleagues and reviewed our Russian assets for impairment. Exiting the Russian market resulted in the impairment of inventory recorded to Cost of products sold of $0.7, impairment of other assets and severance recorded to SG&A of $5.8, and currency impacts recorded in Other items, net of $7.5 in the second quarter of fiscal 2022.

Brazil Manufacturing Plant Flood

In May 2022, the Company's Jaboatao, Brazil battery manufacturing facility had severe flooding due to historic levels of rain in the area. The plant was not operational for the month of June, however some production began again in July. The Company has an insurance policy with an approximate $10 deductible. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded costs related to the flood of $9.9 in Cost of products sold, primarily related to damaged inventory at the plant. Based on the insurance plan deductible, the Company anticipates that further losses from the damage should be minimal.

Restructuring Costs

Project Momentum Restructuring Program

In November 2022, the Board of Directors approved a profit recovery program, Project Momentum, which includes an enterprise-wide restructuring focused on recovering operating margins, optimizing our manufacturing, distribution and global supply chain networks, and enhancing our organizational efficiency across the Company. In July 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved an expansion of this program to include an additional year, which will allows for additional optimization of our battery manufacturing, distribution and global supply chain networks, further review of our global real estate footprint and the implementation of IT systems that will allow us to streamline our organization and fully execute the program and increased the savings by $50 annually.

The restructuring component of the program is now expected to generate $115 to $130 of annual pre-tax savings, and the Company estimates that it will incur one-time cash operating costs of $95 to $110, non-cash costs of $12, and capital expenditures of $50 to $60 over the three year program. Additionally, along side the restructuring component of the program, Project Momentum includes continuous improvement and working capital initiatives that are designed to strengthen our balance sheet, focus on cash flow, and generate P&L savings of approximately $15 to $20 annually. Total expected pre-tax savings of Project Momentum are between $130 and $150 by the end of fiscal year 2025, with approximately $45 to $50 of those savings to be recognized in fiscal year 2023.

In the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2023, the total Project Momentum restructuring and related pre-tax costs were $9.1 and $23.2, respectively. The expenses primarily consisted of severance and other benefit related costs, accelerated depreciation, asset write-offs, consulting costs, IT enablement and other exit related costs. These costs were reflected within Cost of products sold, SG&A and Other items, net on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

Although the Company's Project Momentum restructuring costs are recorded outside of segment profit, if allocated to our reportable segments, the restructuring and related costs for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2023 would be incurred within the Battery & Lights segment in the amounts of $8.3 and $20.9 and the Auto Care segment in the amount of $0.8 and $2.3, respectively.

Project Momentum restructuring and related costs since inception are $24.1. Through the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company has realized $32.0 of the Project Momentum restructuring program savings, primarily within Cost of products sold and SG&A on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

33

Refer to Note 4, Restructuring, to the Consolidated (Condensed) Financial Statements for additional discussion on the Company's restructuring costs.

2019 and 2020 Restructuring Programs

In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019, the Company began implementing restructuring related integration plans for our manufacturing and distribution networks. These plans include the closure and combination of distribution and manufacturing facilities in order to reduce complexity and realize greater efficiencies in our manufacturing, packaging and distribution processes. All activities within this plan were substantially complete by December 31, 2021.

Part of this plan was the exit of our Dixon, IL leased packaging facility, which the Company vacated during the first quarter of fiscal 2022. In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company entered into a termination agreement with the landlord. The Company terminated the lease agreement, which went into 2028, reducing our capital lease obligations by $9.8. The termination agreement required the Company to pay a termination fee of $4.0, as well as decommissioning costs and brokerage fees. Since the Company has already vacated the facility as a part of the 2019 restructuring program, most assets associated with the location have already been fully depreciated. The termination of this lease resulted in a gain of $4.5 recognized in Other items, net during the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020, the Company initiated a new restructuring program with a primary focus on reorganizing our global end-to-end supply chain network and ensuring accountability by category. This program included streamlining the Company’s end-to-end supply chain model to enable rapid response to category specific demands and enhancing our ability to better serve our customers. Planning and execution of this program began in fiscal year 2021, and all activities within this program were substantially complete by December 31, 2021.

The Pre-tax gain on capital lease termination of $4.5 recorded in Other items, net was the only restructuring item recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The total pre-tax expense related to the 2019 and 2020 restructuring plans for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.8. The expense consisted of charges for employee severance, retention, related benefit costs, accelerated depreciation, asset write-offs, relocation, environmental investigatory and mitigation costs, consulting costs and other exit costs, offset by the gain on capital lease termination in fiscal 2022. The costs were reflected in Cost of products sold and SG&A on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

Although the Company's 2019 and 2020 restructuring program costs are recorded outside of segment profit, if allocated to our reportable segments, the restructuring costs noted above for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 would be incurred within the Battery & Lights segment in the amounts of $0.6 and the Auto Care segment in the amount of $0.2.

Total pre-tax charges relating to the 2019 restructuring program and 2020 restructuring program since inceptions were $60.6 and $19.4, respectively. Fiscal 2022 marked the conclusion of the 2019 and 2020 Restructuring programs. The full amount of savings from these projects of approximately $55 to $60 are now included within our annual run-rate cost structure. The primary impact of the savings were reflected in Cost of products sold. We do not expect to incur additional material charges for these programs.

Refer to Note 4, Restructuring, to the Consolidated (Condensed) Financial Statements for additional discussion on the Company's restructuring costs.

Acquisition and Integration Costs

Acquisition and integration costs incurred during fiscal year 2022 relate to the Formulations Acquisition, and the Battery and Auto Care Acquisitions which occurred in fiscal year 2019. The Company incurred pre-tax acquisition and integration costs of $16.5 in the nine months ended June 30, 2022. There were no acquisition and integration costs incurred during the nine months ended June 30, 2023.

Pre-tax acquisition and integration costs recorded in Costs of products sold were $6.0 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, primarily related to the facility exit and restructuring related costs, discussed in Note 4, Restructuring.

34

Pre-tax acquisition and integration costs recorded in SG&A were $9.4 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and primarily related to the integration of the acquired information technology systems, consulting costs, and retention-related compensation costs.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $1.1 of pre-tax acquisition and integration related costs in research and development related to severance and Research & development expense (R&D) asset write-offs.

Net sales were $699.4 for the third fiscal quarter of 2023, a decrease of $28.6 as compared to the prior year quarter. Organic Net sales decreased 2.7%, primarily driven by the following items:

•Volume declines across battery impacted organic revenue by approximately 4.5% due to weaker performance at a number of non-tracked retail customers during the quarter and general economic headwinds impacting category performance;

•Volume declines from our auto care business of approximately 3.0%, largely due to cooler weather in the quarter negatively impacting refrigerant sales, and

•Volume declines of approximately 1.5% from the planned exit of low margin business and a decline in our sales to device manufacturers due to their delay of new product launches.

•Partially offsetting the declines was the continued benefit of global pricing actions in both the battery and auto care businesses contributing approximately 6.5% to organic sales.

37

Net sales were $2,148.6 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, a decrease of $111.1 as compared to the prior year period. Organic Net sales decreased 2.1%, primarily driven by the following items:

•Approximately 8.0% of the decline to organic sales was due to lower battery volumes driven by the timing of holiday orders, category declines from higher retail pricing and general economic conditions impacting category performance and weaker performance at several non-tracked customers;

•Volume declines of approximately 2.5% across the auto care business due to lower volumes from category declines from higher retail pricing and general economic conditions impacting category performance, cooler spring weather negatively impacting our refrigerant sales, and retailer inventory management; and

•Volume declines of approximately 1.5% from the planned exit of low margin business and a decline in our sales to device manufacturers due to their delay of new product launches.

•Partially offsetting these declines was the continued benefit of global pricing actions in both the battery and auto care businesses which increased organic sales by approximately 10.0%.

Gross margin percentage on a reported basis for the third fiscal quarter of 2023 was 37.9%, compared to 39.0% in the prior year. Excluding $6.5 of restructuring costs in the current year and Brazilian flood damage of $9.9 in the prior year quarter, adjusted gross margin was 38.8% compared to 40.4% in the prior year, a decrease of 160 basis points.

Gross margin percentage on a reported basis for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 was 38.0%, compared to 36.9% in the prior year. Excluding $12.5 of restructuring costs in the current year and prior year costs $0.7 to exit the Russian market, Brazilian flood damage of $9.9 and $6.0 in acquisition and integration costs, adjusted gross margin was 38.6% compared to 37.6% in the prior year, an increase of 100 basis points.

Current year impact of restructuring costs	(0.9)	%	(0.6)	%
Gross margin - FY'23 Reported	37.9	%	38.0	%

For the quarter, the Gross margin decline was largely driven by higher operating costs, including raw materials, timing of inventory builds in the prior year, ongoing inflationary trends and adverse currency impacts. The decline was partially offset by the continued benefit of the pricing initiatives, Project Momentum savings of $10.7 and the benefit of exiting lower margin battery business.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Gross margin increase was largely driven by the continued benefit of pricing initiatives and Project Momentum savings of $27.9, as well as the positive impact from exiting lower margin business. These benefits were partially offset by higher operating costs, including raw material costs, consistent with ongoing inflationary trends, as well as adverse currency impacts. Higher ocean freight costs also impacted the nine months ended June 30, 2023.

SG&A was $116.1 in the third fiscal quarter of 2023, or 16.6% of Net sales, as compared to $118.9, or 16.3% of Net sales, in the prior year period. Included in the third fiscal quarter of 2023 results were restructuring and related costs of $2.8. Excluding restructuring, adjusted SG&A was $113.3, or 16.2% of Net sales in the third fiscal quarter of 2023, as compared to $118.9, or 16.3% of Net sales in the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by Project Momentum savings, favorable currency impacts and lower environmental costs this period due to a charge taken in the prior year related to a legacy facility that has been sold by the Company. These declines were partially offset by higher compensation expense and factoring fees in the current year.

SG&A was $354.8 in the nine months ended June 30, 2023, or 16.5% of Net sales, as compared to $364.4, or 16.1% of Net sales, in the prior year period. Included in the nine months ended June 30, 2023 results were restructuring and related costs of $10.9 and included in the nine months ended June 30, 2022 results were costs of exiting the Russian market of $5.8, integration costs of $9.4 and acquisition earn out costs of $1.1. Excluding restructuring and integration costs, costs of exiting the Russian market, and the acquisition earn out, adjusted SG&A was $343.9, or 16.0% of Net sales in the nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $348.1, or 15.4% of Net sales in the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by Project Momentum savings, favorable currency impacts and lower environmental costs this period due to a charge taken in the prior year related to a legacy facility that has been sold by the Company. These decreases were partially offset by higher compensation expense and factoring fees in the current year.

Advertising and sales promotion expense (A&P) was $37.6, or 5.4% of net sales, in the third fiscal quarter of 2023, as compared to $38.5, or 5.3% of Net sales, in the third fiscal quarter of 2022. A&P was $109.4, or 5.1% of net sales, in the nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $109.8, or 4.9% of Net sales, in the prior year comparative period.

R&D was $8.8, or 1.3% of Net sales, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $8.5, or 1.2% of Net sales, in the prior year comparative period. R&D was $24.4, or 1.1% of Net sales, for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $25.3, or 1.1% of Net sales, in the prior year comparative period, which included integration costs of $1.1.

Interest expense was $42.2 for the third fiscal quarter of 2023 compared to $41.1 for the prior year comparative period. For the nine months ended June 30, 2023 interest expense was $127.1 as compared to $116.4 for the prior year comparative period. The increased interest expense was due to higher interest rates in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022, partially offset by lower average outstanding debt in the current period.

Loss/(gain) on extinguishment of debt was a loss of $0.3 for the third fiscal quarter of 2023, and relates to the Company's repayment of $41.0 outstanding on the term loan. For the nine months ended June 30, 2023 the gain on extinguishment of debt was $1.7 and related to the Company's retirement of $25.0 of outstanding Senior Notes at a discount and the repayment of $166.0 outstanding on the term loan in the current year.

Other items, net was expense of $5.2 and a benefit of $3.5 for the third fiscal quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Other items, net was expense of $4.6 and $2.7 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Segment Results

Operations for Energizer are managed via two product segments: Batteries & Lights and Auto Care. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment operating profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses (including share-based compensation costs), amortization of intangibles, acquisition and integration activities, restructuring and related costs, acquisition earn out, the costs of the May 2022 flooding of our Brazilian manufacturing facility, costs of exiting the Russian market and other items determined to be corporate in nature. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, (loss)/gain on extinguishment of debt and the gain on finance lease termination, are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of restructuring and related costs and acquisition and integration costs from segment results reflects management’s view on how it evaluates segment performance.

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

Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2023

Battery & Lights reported Net Sales decreased 3.8% as compared to the prior year. Organic net sales decreased $11.0, or 2.1%, for the third fiscal quarter. The organic decrease was due to weaker performance at a number of non-tracked retail customers during the quarter and general economic headwinds impacting category performance (approximately 7.5%), as well as from the planned exit of low margin business and a decline in our sales to device

manufacturers due to their delay of new product launches (approximately 1.0%). This was partially offset by the continued benefits of global pricing actions (approximately 6.5%).

Auto Care reported and organic Net sales decrease of $8.3, or 4.2%, for the third fiscal quarter. The decrease was driven by deceased volumes largely due to cooler weather in the quarter negatively impacting refrigerant sales (approximately 10.5%), decreased distribution in North America (approximately 1.0%), and was partially offset by the continued benefits of global pricing actions (approximately 7.5%).

Results for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2023

Battery & Lights reported Net sales decreased 5.6% as compared to the prior year. Organic net sales decreased $38.5, or 2.2%, for the nine months ended June 30, 2023. The organic decrease was driven by the timing of holiday orders, category declines from higher retail pricing and general economic conditions impacting category performance and weaker performance at several non-tracked customers (approximately 10.5%), as well as from the planned exit of low margin business and a decline in our sales to device manufacturers due to their delay of new product launches (approximately 1.5%). This was partially offset by the continued benefits of global pricing actions (approximately 10.0%).

Auto Care reported Net sales decreased 2.5%, as compared to the prior year. Organic Net sales decreased $8.9, or 1.9%. The organic decrease in Net sales was due to lower volumes from category declines from higher retail pricing and general economic conditions impacting category performance, cooler spring weather negatively impacting our refrigerant sales, and retailer inventory management (approximately 11.0%). This was partially offset by the continued benefits of global pricing actions (approximately 9.0%).

Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2023

Global reported segment profit decreased 10.5% as compared to the prior year. Organic profit decrease was $12.2, or 7.8%. The organic decrease was driven by the organic net sales decline discussed above, lower gross margin due to higher operating costs and the timing of inventory build in the prior year, partially offset by reduced SG&A compared to the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Energizer’s primary future cash needs will be centered on operating activities, working capital, strategic investments and debt reductions. We believe that our future cash from operations, together with our access to capital markets, will provide adequate resources to fund our operating and financing needs. Our access to, and the availability of, financing on acceptable terms in the future will be affected by many factors, including: (i) our financial condition and prospects, (ii) for debt, our credit rating, (iii) the liquidity of the overall capital markets and (iv) the current state of the economy. There can be no assurances that we will continue to have access to capital markets on terms acceptable to us. See the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 15, 2022 for additional information.

42

Cash is managed centrally with net earnings reinvested locally and working capital requirements met from existing liquid funds. At June 30, 2023, Energizer had $202.4 of cash and cash equivalents, approximately 81% of which was held outside of the U.S. Given our extensive international operations, a significant portion of our cash is denominated in foreign currencies. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. The repatriation of cash balances from certain of our subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences or be subject to regulatory capital requirements; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations.

In December 2020, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement which provided for a 5-year $400.0 revolving credit facility (2020 Revolving Facility) and a $1,200.0 Term Loan due December 2027. In December 2021, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to increase the 2020 Revolving Facility to $500.0.

In February 2023, the Company amended this Credit Agreement and the existing interest rate swap to transition the interest reference rate from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to the Secured Overnight Finance Rate (SOFR). There were no other changes to the Company's Credit Agreement or timing of cash flows. The amendment was entered into because the LIBOR rate historically used was no longer published after June 30, 2023. The Company utilized expedients within ASC 848 to conclude that this amendment should be treated as a non-substantial modification of the existing contract, resulting in no impact to the Company's financial statement.

Borrowings under the Term Loan require quarterly principal payments at a rate of 0.25% of the original principal balance, or $3.0. Borrowings under the 2020 Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, SOFR or the Base Rate (as defined) plus the applicable margin. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus the applicable margin.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased $16.3 of the 4.750% Senior Notes due in 2028 and $8.7 of the 4.375% Senior Notes due in 2029 at a total discount of $3.4. The Company also paid down $175.0 of the Term Loan. The extinguishment of this debt, less the write-off of associated deferred financing fees, resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended June 30, 2023 of $0.3 and a gain for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 of $1.7. Subsequent to the quarter, the Company pre-paid an additional $20.0 of the Term Loan.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowing under the 2020 Revolving Facility and $7.1 of outstanding letters of credit. Taking into account outstanding letters of credit, $492.9 remained available under the 2020 Revolving Facility as of June 30, 2023. The Company is in compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with its debt agreements, and expects to remain in compliance throughout the next twelve months.

Operating Activities

Cash flow from operating activities was $296.3 in the nine months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to cash flow used by operating activities of $106.2 in the prior year period. This change in cash flows of $402.5 was primarily driven by working capital changes year over year of approximately $414. The working capital change of approximately $414 was primarily a result of the following:

•Approximately $101 is due to collections of accounts receivable, net of trade spend, in the current year compared to the prior year. The Company had reduced its factoring at the end of fiscal year 2022 compared to the prior year, which resulted in higher collections in the first quarter of fiscal 2023;

•Approximately $230 of less inventory investment compared to the prior year as the Company was proactively building safety stock in the prior year and reduced the investment in the current year as inventory levels return to a more normalized level; and

•Approximately $108 due to changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities driven by timing of payments.

43

Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities was $34.7 and $78.9 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and consisted of the following:

•Capital expenditures of $35.4 and $65.8 in the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively;

•Proceeds from assets sales were $0.7 and $0.5 in the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively;

•Acquisitions of intangible assets of $14.6 relating to the auto care appearance trade names and formulas acquired in Latin America during the nine months ended June 30, 2022; and

•Acquisitions, net of cash acquired and working capital settlements was an inflow of $1.0 from the Formulations Acquisition working capital settlement in fiscal 2022.

Investing cash outflows of approximately $55 to $65 are anticipated in fiscal 2023 for capital expenditures relating to maintenance, product development and cost reduction investments, including Project Momentum capital initiatives.

Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities was $261.2 for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to cash from financing activities of $158.4 in the prior fiscal year period. For the nine months ended June 30, 2023, cash used by financing activities consists of the following:

•Payments of debt with maturities greater than 90 days of $197.0, primarily related to the early retirement of Senior notes of $21.6 and the term loan principal payments of $175.0;

•Net increase in debt with original maturities of 90 days or less of $2.5 primarily related to international borrowings;

•Dividends paid on common stock of $64.8 (see below); and

•Taxes paid for withheld share-based payments of $1.9.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, cash from financing activities consisted of the following:

•Cash proceeds from the issuance of debt with original maturities greater than 90 days of $300.0 relating to the new Senior Note due in 2027 issuance the second quarter of fiscal 2022;

•Payments of debt with original maturities greater than 90 days of $10.6, primarily related to the quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan;

•Net decrease in debt with original maturities of 90 days or less of $43.8 primarily related to borrowing under our 2020 Revolving Facility;

•Payments to terminate finance lease obligations of $5.1 related to the termination of our Dixon, IL. packaging facility lease;

•Debt issuance costs of $7.6 relating to the amendment of the Credit Agreement in December 2021 and the issuance of the $300 Senior Note due in 2027;

•Dividends paid on common stock of $64.1;

•Dividends paid on mandatory convertible preferred stock (MCPS) of $8.1; and

•Taxes paid for withheld share-based payments of $2.3.

44

Dividends

On November 7, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 of $0.30 per share of common stock, payable on December 16, 2022. On January 30, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2023 of $0.30 per share of common stock, payable on March 16, 2023. On May 1, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 of $0.30 per share of common stock, payable on June 13, 2023.

Subsequent to the end of the fiscal quarter, on July 30, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 of $0.30 per share of common stock, payable on September 15, 2023, to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 22, 2023.

Share Repurchases

In November 2020, the Company's Board of Directors put in place an authorization for the Company to acquire up to 7.5 million shares of its common stock. The Company has 5.0 million shares remaining under this authorization.

Future share repurchases, if any, will be determined by the Company based on its evaluation of the market conditions, capital allocation objectives, legal and regulatory requirements and other factors. Share repurchases may be effected through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including repurchase plans that satisfy the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The timing, declaration, amount and payment of future dividends to shareholders or repurchases of the Company’s Common stock will fall within the discretion of our Board of Directors. The Board’s decisions regarding the payment of dividends or repurchase of shares will depend on many factors, such as our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, covenants associated with certain of our debt service obligations, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.

Other Matters

Environmental Matters

Accrued environmental costs at June 30, 2023 were $14.0. It is difficult to quantify with certainty the cost of environmental matters, particularly remediation and future capital expenditures for environmental control equipment. Total environmental capital expenditures and operating expenses are not expected to have a material effect on our total capital and operating expenditures, earnings or competitive position. However, current environmental spending estimates could be modified as a result of changes in our plans or our understanding of underlying facts, changes in legal requirements, including any requirements related to global climate change, or other factors.

Contractual Obligations

The Company believes it has sufficient liquidity to fund its operations and meet its short-term and long-term obligations. The Company's material future obligations include the contractual and purchase commitments described below.

The Company has a contractual commitment to repay its long-term debt of $3,391.1 based on the defined terms of our debt agreements. Within the next twelve months, the Company is obligated to pay $12.0 of this total debt. Our interest commitments based on the current debt balance and SOFR rate on drawn debt at June 30, 2023 is $807.1, with $152.4 expected within the next twelve months. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement that fixed the variable benchmark component (SOFR) on $700.0 of variable rate debt. Refer to Note 8, Debt, for further details.

The Company has an obligation to pay a mandatory transition tax of $16.7. The first payment of $3.6 is due in the second quarter of fiscal 2024.

Additionally, Energizer has material future purchase commitments for goods and services which are legally binding and that specify all significant terms including price and/or quantity. Total future commitments for these obligations over the next 5 years is $11.3. Of this amount, $6.6 is due within the next twelve months. Refer to Note 14, Legal proceeding/contingencies and other obligations, for additional details.

45

Energizer is also party to various service and supply contracts that generally extend approximately one to three months. These arrangements are primarily individual, short-term purchase orders for routine goods and services at market prices, which are part of our normal operations and are reflected in historical operating cash flow trends. These contracts can generally be canceled at our option at any time. We do not believe such arrangements will adversely affect our liquidity position.

Finally, Energizer has operating and financing leases for real estate, equipment, and other assets that include future minimum payments with initial terms of one year or more. Total future operating and finance lease payments at June 30, 2023 are $144.9 and $66.7, respectively. Within the next twelve months, operating and finance lease payments are expected to be $19.4 and $2.5, respectively.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions

The market risk inherent in the Company's financial instruments’ positions represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in currency rates, commodity prices and interest rates. The following risk management discussion and the estimated amounts generated from the sensitivity analysis are forward-looking statements of market risk assuming certain adverse market conditions occur. The Company's derivatives are used only for identifiable exposures, and we have not entered into hedges for trading purposes where the sole objective is to generate profits.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships

A significant share of Energizer's product cost is more closely tied to the U.S. dollar than to the local currencies in which the product is sold. As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar results in margin declines unless mitigated through pricing actions, which are not always available due to the economic or competitive environment. Conversely, strengthening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve reported results. The primary currencies to which Energizer is exposed include the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. However, the Company also has significant exposures in many other currencies which, in the aggregate, may have a material impact on the Company's operations.

The Company has entered into a series of forward currency contracts to hedge the cash flow uncertainty of forecasted payment of inventory purchases due to short term currency fluctuations. Energizer’s foreign affiliates, which have the largest exposure to U.S. dollar purchases, have the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar as their local currencies. These foreign currencies represent a significant portion of Energizer's foreign currency exposure. At June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, Energizer had unrealized pre-tax loss of $3.0 and an unrealized pre-tax gain of $16.3, respectively, on these forward currency contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges, included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheets. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at June 30, 2023 levels over the next twelve months, $2.9 of the pre-tax loss included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2023 is expected to be recognized in earnings. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal year 2024.

Derivatives Not Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships

Energizer's foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create nonfunctional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each period. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in an exchange gain or loss recorded in Other items, net on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The primary currency to which Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar.

The Company enters into foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes to hedge balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts are expected to be offset by exchange gains or losses on the underlying exposures, thus they are not subject to significant market risk.

46

The change in estimated fair value of the foreign currency contracts for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2023 resulted in a loss of $1.6 and $1.0, respectively. The change in estimated fair value of the foreign currency contracts for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2022 resulted in a gain of $1.9 and $5.3, respectively. These gains and losses were recorded in Other items, net on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

Commodity Price Exposure

The Company uses raw materials that are subject to price volatility. At times, the Company uses hedging instruments to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with future purchases of certain materials and commodities.

The Company has entered into hedging contracts on future zinc purchases to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with price volatility. The contracts are determined to be cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting. The contract maturity for these hedges extend into fiscal 2025. There were 18 open contracts at June 30, 2023, with a total notional value of approximately $52. The pre-tax unrealized loss on the zinc contracts was $7.5 and $6.1 for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, and was included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet.

Interest Rate Exposure

The Company has interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. At June 30, 2023, Energizer had variable rate debt outstanding of $1,007.0 under the 2020 Term Loan and the 2020 Revolving Facility.

In December 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap (2020 Interest rate swap) with an effective date of December 22, 2020, that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) at an interest rate of 0.95% on variable rate debt of $550.0. The notional value increased to $700.0 on January 22, 2021, and will stay at that value through December 22, 2024. The notional value will decrease by $100.0 on December 22, 2024 and by $100.0 each year thereafter until its termination date on December 22, 2027.

In February 2023, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to transition the interest reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR. The amendment was entered into because the LIBOR rate historically used was no longer published after June 30, 2023. The Company also amended the 2020 Interest rate swap to coincide with the amended credit agreement, effectively fixing the variable benchmark component (SOFR) at an interest rate of 1.042%. There were no other changes to the interest rate swap agreement or expected timing of cash flows associated with the swap. The Company utilized expedients within ASC 848 to conclude that this modification should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing swap agreement, resulting in no impact on the Company's financial statements.

At June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, Energizer recorded a unrealized pre-tax gain of $77.1 and $86.4 on the 2020 Interest rate swap, respectively. For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, our weighted average interest rate on variable rate debt, inclusive of the interest rate swap, was 4.58%.

Argentina Currency Exposure and Hyperinflation

Effective July 1, 2018, the financial statements for our Argentina subsidiary were consolidated under the rules governing the translation of financial information in a highly inflationary economy. Under U.S. GAAP, an economy is considered highly inflationary if the cumulative inflation rate for a three year period meets or exceeds 100 percent. The Argentina economy exceeded the three year cumulative inflation rate of 100 percent as of June 2018. If a subsidiary is considered to be in a highly inflationary economy, the financial statements of the subsidiary must be remeasured into the Company’s reporting currency (U.S. dollar) and future exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are reflected in current earnings, rather than exclusively in the equity section of the balance sheet, until such time as the economy is no longer considered highly inflationary. It is difficult to determine what continuing impact the use of highly inflationary accounting for Argentina may have on our consolidated financial statements as such impact is dependent upon movements in the applicable exchange rates between the local currency and the U.S. dollar and the amount of monetary assets and liabilities included in our affiliates' balance sheet.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

47

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a comprehensive set of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately and within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Energizer's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on that evaluation performed, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023, to provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of these objectives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to report material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company's reports.

The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have also determined in their evaluation that there was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company and its affiliates are subject to a number of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions arising out of its operations. Many of these legal matters are in preliminary stages and involve complex issues of law and fact, and may proceed for protracted periods of time. The amount of liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty. We are a party to legal proceedings and claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. We review our legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follow appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. We establish accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and we disclose the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. We do not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, the Company believes that its liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, is not reasonably likely to be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, when taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 15, 2022, contains a detailed discussion of risk factors that could materially adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition. There have been no material changes to the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 5. Other Information

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.

Energizer Holdings, Inc. (Company), through its subsidiary, Energizer Brands, LLC, entered into a Separation Transition Agreement, dated August 4, 2023 (Agreement), with Susan K. Drath, the Company’s Chief Human Capital Officer. Pursuant to the Agreement, Ms. Drath’s employment with the Company will end effective March 31, 2024 (Separation Date) and she will support the orderly transition of her responsibilities through the Separation Date (Transition Period). Ms. Drath will cease to serve as the Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer effective as of December 31, 2023 and thereafter will serve as a Special Advisor to the Company through the Separation Date.

49

Pursuant to the Agreement, which includes a release of claims, and provided Ms. Drath otherwise complies with the terms of the Agreement, during the Transition Period, Ms. Drath will continue to receive payment of her base salary and will remain eligible to participate in the Company’s benefit plans and programs in effect during the Transition Period. Additionally, in consideration for her waiver of her right to receive a cash bonus payment pursuant to the Company’s Executive Bonus Plan for the plan year ending September 30, 2023 and the restricted stock units (RSUs) and performance-based RSUs (PSUs) previously granted to Ms. Drath that were otherwise scheduled to vest in 2023, Ms. Drath will receive payments in the aggregate amount of approximately $237,042 and a payment equal to the amount Ms. Drath would have been due for fiscal 2023 based on performance achievement under the Bonus Plan, subject to her remaining employed through the Separation Date.

Following the Separation Date, subject to Ms. Drath remaining employed through such date and her execution of a release of claims, she will be entitled to receive severance payments in an aggregate amount of approximately $1,130,718, payable no later than December 31, 2024.

If Ms. Drath’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause prior to the Separation Date, Ms. Drath will remain entitled to receive all payments under the Agreement. The Agreement contains customary confidentiality, cooperation and non-disparagement provisions, which are perpetual, and non-competition and non-solicitation provisions.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which will be filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company, through its operating subsidiaries, is one of the world’s largest manufacturers, marketers and distributors of household batteries, specialty batteries and lighting products, and is a leading designer and marketer of automotive fragrance, appearance, performance and air conditioning recharge products. The Company distributes its products to consumers through numerous retail locations worldwide, including mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs, food, drug and convenience stores, electronics specialty stores and department stores, hardware and automotive centers, e-commerce and military stores. The Company sells to its customers through a combination of a direct sales force and exclusive and non-exclusive third-party distributors and wholesalers.

The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from the sale of finished product to customers. Sales predominantly contain a single delivery element, or performance obligation, and revenue is recognized at a single point in time

when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer. This typically occurs when finished goods are delivered to the customer or when finished goods are picked up by the carrier at origin or the customer, depending on contract terms.

North America sales are generally through large retailers with nationally or regionally recognized brands.

Our International sales, which includes Latin America, are comprised of modern trade, developing and distributor market groups. Modern trade, which is most prevalent in Western Europe and more developed economies throughout the world, generally refers to sales through large retailers with nationally or regionally recognized brands. Developing markets generally include sales by wholesalers or small retailers who may not have a national or regional presence. Distributors are utilized in other markets where the Company does not have a direct sales force. Each market's determination is based on the predominant customer type or sales strategy utilized in the market.

Supplemental product and market information is presented below for revenues from external customers for the quarters and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

Acquisition

Acquisitions

Formulations Acquisition - During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Green Global Holdings, LLC to acquire a North Carolina-based company that specializes in developing formulations for cleaning tasks (Formulations Acquisition). The Formulations Acquisition was completed for a cash purchase price of $51.2. During the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the working capital settlement was finalized, reducing the purchase price by $1.0, of which $0.4 was paid to the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and the remaining $0.6 was settled in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The product formulations acquired are both sold to customers directly and licensed to manufacturers.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The fair value of proprietary technology acquired and customer relationships were determined by applying the multi-period excess earnings method under the income approach.

The following table outlines the purchase price allocation:

Trade receivables	$	1.3
Inventories	0.1
Other intangible assets, net	20.5
Operating lease assets	0.5
Accounts payable	(0.2)
Current operating lease liabilities	(0.2)
Other current liabilities	(0.2)
Operating lease liabilities	(0.3)
Total identifiable net assets	$	21.5
Goodwill	28.7
Net assets acquired	$	50.2

The table below identifies the purchased intangible assets of $20.5:

	Total		Weighted Average Useful Lives
Proprietary technology	$	19.5	7
Customer relationships	1.0		15
Total Other intangible assets, net	$	20.5

The Company finalized their purchase price accounting in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The goodwill acquired in this acquisition is attributable to the value the Company expects to achieve from the significant innovation capabilities in formulations that the acquired company will bring to our organization, as well as the workforce acquired. The goodwill was allocated to the Americas segment prior to the Company's reorganization of our reportable segments on October 1, 2021. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company entered into incentive compensation agreements with certain key personnel. These agreements are not considered a component of the acquisition purchase price but rather as employee compensation arrangements. During the nine months ended June 30, 2022, $1.1 of this earn-out was recorded on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income in Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A). No amounts have been recognized for the second or third performance years under the agreements at June 30, 2023. Subsequent to the quarter, on July 7, 2023, the Company terminated these agreements and no further earn out amounts will be paid.

Pro Forma Financial Information- Pro forma results for the Formulations Acquisition were not considered material and, as such, are not included.

Acquisition and Integration Costs- Acquisition and integration costs incurred during fiscal year 2022 relate to the Formulations Acquisition, and the Battery and Auto Care Acquisitions which occurred in fiscal year 2019. The Company incurred pre-tax acquisition and integration costs of $16.5 in the nine months ended June 30, 2022. There were no acquisition and integration costs incurred during the nine months ended June 30, 2023.

Pre-tax acquisition and integration costs recorded in Costs of products sold were $6.0 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, primarily related to the facility exit and restructuring related costs, discussed in Note 4, Restructuring.

Pre-tax acquisition and integration costs recorded in SG&A were $9.4 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 and primarily related to the integration of the acquired information technology systems, consulting costs, and retention-related compensation costs.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $1.1 of pre-tax acquisition and integration related costs in research and development (R&D) related to severance and R&D asset write-offs.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Restructuring

Restructuring

Project Momentum Restructuring - In November 2022, the Board of Directors approved a profit recovery program, Project Momentum, which includes an enterprise-wide restructuring focused on recovering operating margins, optimizing our manufacturing, distribution and global supply chain networks, and enhancing our organizational efficiency throughout the Company.

In July 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved an expansion to the Project Momentum profit recovery program and delegated authority to the Company's management to determine the final actions with respect to the plan. The expansion of this program will include an additional year, which will allow for additional optimization of our battery manufacturing, distribution and global supply chain networks, further review of our global real estate footprint and the implementation of IT systems that will allow us to streamline our organization and fully execute the program. Based on the expanded scope and additional year, incremental costs will be incurred to successfully execute the program. It is estimated that the Company will incur total pre-tax exit-related cash operating costs associated with these plans of approximately $95 to $110, non-cash costs of approximately $12, and capital expenditures of $50 to $60 through the end of fiscal 2025.

2019 Restructuring Program - In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2019, the Company began implementing restructuring related integration plans for our manufacturing and distribution networks. These plans included the closure and combination of distribution and manufacturing facilities in order to reduce complexity and realize greater efficiencies in our manufacturing, packaging and distribution processes. All activities within these plans were substantially completed by December 31, 2021, and the Company does not expect to incur additional material charges associated with these plans.

Part of this plan was the exit of our Dixon, IL leased packaging facility, which the Company vacated during the first

quarter of fiscal 2022. In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company entered into a termination agreement with the

landlord. Since the Company has already vacated the facility as a part of the 2019 restructuring program, most

assets associated with the location have already been fully depreciated. The termination of this lease resulted in a

gain of $4.5 recognized in Other items, net during the third quarter of fiscal 2022.

2020 Restructuring Program - In the fourth fiscal quarter of 2020, the Company initiated a new restructuring program with a primary focus on reorganizing its global end-to-end supply chain network and ensuring accountability by category. This program included streamlining the Company’s end-to-end supply chain model to enable rapid response to category specific demands and enhancing our ability to better serve our customers. This program was substantially complete by December 31, 2021. The Company does not expect to incur additional material charges associated with this program.

The pre-tax expense for charges related to the restructuring plans for the quarters and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are noted in the table below, and were reflected in the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income:

(3) Primarily includes consulting and legal fees for the restructuring program.

(4) Relates to expenses for new IT systems that are enabling the Company to complete restructuring initiatives. Costs are included in SG&A in the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

Although the Company's restructuring costs are recorded outside of segment profit, if allocated to our reportable segments, the pre-tax restructuring and related costs for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2023 would be incurred within the Battery & Lights segment in the amounts of $8.3 and $20.9 and the Auto Care segment in the amount of $0.8 and $2.3, respectively. For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the gain would have been incurred within the Battery & Lights segment. For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, the pre-tax restructuring and related costs would have been incurred within the Battery & Lights segment in the amount of $0.6 and the Auto Care segment in the amount of $0.2.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings per share

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is based on the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the average number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of restricted stock unit (RSU) awards, performance share awards, deferred compensation equity plans and the conversion of the Mandatory convertible preferred stock (MCPS).

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2022, the MCPS were converted to approximately 4.7 million shares of

Common stock and are no longer outstanding for fiscal 2023. For the nine months ended June 30, 2022, the issued common shares are included in the basic weighted average common shares outstanding for the period subsequent to the conversion, and included in the diluted calculation prior to their conversion using the if-converted method and are only included if the conversion would be further dilutive to the calculation.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

(in millions, except per share data)	For the Quarters Ended June 30,				For the Nine Months Ended June 30,

Diluted net earnings per common share	$	0.44	$	0.73	$	1.67	$	1.82

For the quarter ended June 30, 2023, there were no antidilutive RSU shares and for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, 0.4 million RSU were anti-dilutive and not included in the diluted net earnings per share calculation. For the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 0.1 million and 0.4 million RSU, respectively, were antidilutive and not included in the diluted net earnings per share calculation.

Performance based RSU shares of 1.3 million and 1.6 million were excluded for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, as the performance targets for those awards have not been achieved as of the end of the applicable periods. For the nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, performance based RSU of 1.3 million and 1.6 million, respectively, were excluded as the performance targets for those awards have not been achieved as of the end of the applicable periods.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segments

Segments

Operations for Energizer are managed via two product segments: Batteries & Lights and Auto Care. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment operating profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses (including share-based compensation costs), amortization of intangibles, acquisition and integration activities, restructuring and related costs, acquisition earn out, the costs of the May 2022 flooding of our Brazilian manufacturing facility, costs of exiting the Russian market and other items determined to be corporate in nature. Financial items, such as interest income and expense, (loss)/gain on extinguishment of debt and the gain on finance lease termination,are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of restructuring costs and acquisition and integration costs from segment results reflects management’s view on how it evaluates segment performance.

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

(1) Changes in the USD balance of the Euro denominated 3.50% Senior Notes due in 2029 is due to movements in the currency rate year-over-year.

Credit Agreement - During the first first six months of fiscal 2023, the Company pre-paid $125.0 of the Senior Secured Term Loan due in 2027 (Term Loan). During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company pre-paid an additional $41.0 of Term Loan. The Company wrote off deferred financing fees of $0.3 and $1.4 during the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as a result of these early payments. Subsequent to the quarter, the Company pre-paid an additional $20.0 of the Term Loan.

In February 2023, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to transition the interest reference rate from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to the Secured Overnight Finance Rate (SOFR). There were no other changes to the Company's Credit Agreement or timing of cash flows. The amendment was entered into because the LIBOR rate historically used was no longer published after June 30, 2023. The Company utilized expedients within ASC 848 to conclude that this amendment should be treated as a non-substantial modification of the existing contract resulting in no impact to the Company's financial statements.

On December 31, 2021, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to increase the 2020 Revolving Facility to $500.0, from the original $400.0 revolving credit facility.

Borrowings under the Term Loan require quarterly principal payments at a rate of 0.25% of the original principal balance, or $3.0. Borrowings under the 2020 Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, SOFR or the Base Rate (as defined) plus the applicable margin. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus the applicable margin. The Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the 2020 Revolving Facility and $7.1 of outstanding letters of credit. Taking into account outstanding letters of credit, $492.9 remained available under the 2020 Revolving Facility as of June 30, 2023. As of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, the Company's weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings was 7.3% and 4.7%, respectively.

Senior Notes - During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company retired $16.3 of the 4.750% Senior Notes due in 2028 and $8.7 of the 4.375% Senior Notes due in 2029 for a cash cost of $21.6. The Company wrote off $0.3 of deferred financing fees as a result of these transactions.

The prepayment of the Term Loan during the quarter resulted in a net Loss on extinguishment of debt for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 of $0.3 recorded on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The retirement of Senior Notes and prepayment of the Term Loan during the first three quarters of fiscal 2023 resulted in a net Gain on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 of $1.7 recorded on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

On March 8, 2022, the Company completed a bond offering for $300.0 Senior Notes due in 2027 at 6.500% (2027 Notes). The proceeds from the offering were used to repay a portion of the indebtedness outstanding under the 2020 Revolving Facility and to pay fees and expenses related to the offering. Debt issuances fees paid associated with the 2027 Notes and Credit Agreement were $7.6 in the nine months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest Rate Swaps - In December 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with an effective date of December 22, 2020, that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) at an interest rate of 0.95% on variable rate debt of $550.0. On January 22, 2021, the notional value increased to $700.0 and will stay at that value through December 22, 2024. The notional value will decrease by $100.0 on December 22, 2024 and by $100.0 each year thereafter until its termination date on December 22, 2027.

In February 2023, the Company amended the 2020 Interest rate swap to coincide with the amended credit agreement, effectively fixing the variable benchmark component (SOFR) at an interest rate of 1.042%. There were no other changes to the interest rate swap agreement or expected timing of cash flows associated with the swap. The Company utilized expedients within ASC 848 to conclude that this modification should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing swap agreement, resulting in no impact on the Company's financial statements.

Refer to Note 11, Financial Instruments and Risk Management, for additional information on the Company's interest rate swap transactions.

Notes payable - The Company had $5.3 in Notes payable at June 30, 2023 and $6.4 at September 30, 2022. The balances are comprised of other borrowings, including those from foreign affiliates. At June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 the Company had no outstanding borrowings on the 2020 Revolving Facility.

Debt Covenants - The agreements governing the Company's debt contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and provisions relating to events of default. If the Company fails to comply with these covenants or with other requirements of these debt agreements, the lenders may have the right to accelerate the maturity of the debt. Acceleration under one of these debt agreements would trigger cross defaults to other borrowings. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with its debt agreements.

The counterparties to long-term committed borrowings consist of a number of major financial institutions. The Company consistently monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside ratings agencies.

Debt Maturities - Aggregate maturities of long-term debt as of June 30, 2023 are as follows:

	Long-term debt
One year	$	12.0
Two year	12.0
Three year	12.0
Four year	12.0

Shareholders' Equity

During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, all outstanding shares of the Company's MCPS automatically converted into shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a rate of 2.1739 shares of the Company's common stock for each share of preferred stock. This resulted in the issuance of approximately 4.7 million shares of common stock.

In November 2020, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to 7.5 million shares of its common stock. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company entered into a $75.0 accelerated share repurchase (ASR) program. Under the terms of the agreement, approximately 1.5 million shares were delivered in fiscal 2021 and an additional approximately 0.5 million shares were delivered upon termination of the agreement on November 18, 2021. The total number of shares delivered was based on the volume-weighted average stock prices (VWAP) of the Company’s common stock during the ASR period of $38.30. The Company paid the full amount of the ASR in fiscal 2021 and recorded $60.0 of treasury stock representing the approximately 1.5 million shares delivered in fiscal 2021 and the remaining $15.0 was recorded as Additional paid in capital. With the delivery of the additional shares, in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the $15.0 was reclassified to treasury stock on the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity.

Future share repurchases, if any, will be determined by the Company based on its evaluation of the market conditions, capital allocation objectives, legal and regulatory requirements and other factors.

On November 7, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 of $0.30 per share of common stock, payable on December 16, 2022, to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 28, 2022.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The market risk inherent in the Company's operations creates potential earnings volatility arising from changes in currency rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company's policy allows derivatives to be used only for identifiable exposures and, therefore, the Company does not enter into hedges for trading or speculative purposes where the sole objective is to generate profits.

Concentration of Credit Risk—The counterparties to derivative contracts consist of a number of major financial institutions and are generally institutions with which the Company maintains lines of credit. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts through brokers nor does it trade derivative contracts on any other exchange or over-the-counter markets. Risk of currency positions and mark-to-market valuation of positions are strictly monitored at all times.

The Company continually monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside rating agencies. While nonperformance by these counterparties exposes Energizer to potential credit losses, such losses are not anticipated.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to commodity price and foreign currency risks. The section below outlines the types of derivatives that existed at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, as well as the Company's objectives and strategies for holding these derivative instruments.

Commodity Price Risk—The Company uses raw materials that are subject to price volatility. At times, the Company uses hedging instruments to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with future purchases of certain materials and commodities.

Foreign Currency Risk—A significant portion of Energizer’s product cost is more closely tied to the U.S. dollar than to the local currencies in which the product is sold. As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar results in margin declines unless mitigated through pricing actions, which are not always available due to the economic or competitive environment. Conversely, a strengthening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve margins. The primary currencies to which Energizer is exposed include the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. However, the Company also has significant exposures in many other currencies which, in the aggregate, may have a material impact on the Company's operations.

Additionally, Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create nonfunctional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and, to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each period. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in a transaction gain or loss recorded in Other items, net on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The primary currency to which Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar.

Interest Rate Risk—The Company has interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. At June 30, 2023, the Company had variable rate debt outstanding of $1,007.0 under the 2020 Term Loan and the 2020 Revolving Facility.

In December 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate swap (2020 Interest rate swap), that fixed the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) at an interest rate of 0.95% on variable rate debt of $550.0. The notional value increased to $700.0 on January 22, 2021 and will stay at that value through December 22, 2024. The notional value will decrease by $100.0 on December 22, 2024 and by $100.0 each year thereafter until its termination date on December 22, 2027. The notional value of the swap was $700.0 at June 30, 2023.

In February 2023, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to transition the interest reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR. The amendment was entered into because the LIBOR rate historically used was no longer published after June 30, 2023. The Company also amended the 2020 Interest rate swap to coincide with the amended credit agreement, effectively fixing the variable benchmark component (SOFR) at an interest rate of 1.042%. There were no other changes to the interest rate swap agreement or expected timing of cash flows associated with the swap. The Company utilized expedients within ASC 848 to conclude that this modification should be accounted for as a continuation of the existing swap agreement, resulting in no impact on the Company's financial statements.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships—The Company has entered into a series of forward currency contracts to hedge the cash flow uncertainty of the forecasted payment of inventory purchases due to short term currency fluctuations. Energizer’s foreign affiliates, which have the largest exposure to U.S. dollar purchases, have the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar as their local currencies. These foreign currencies represent a significant portion of Energizer's foreign currency exposure. At June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, Energizer had an unrealized pre-tax loss of $3.0 and an unrealized pre-tax gain of $16.3, respectively, on these forward currency contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheets. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at June 30, 2023 levels, over the next 12 months, $2.9 of the pre-tax loss included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be recognized in earnings. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal year 2024. There were 68 open foreign currency contracts at June 30, 2023, with a total notional value of approximately $180.

The Company has entered into hedging contracts on future zinc purchases to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with price volatility. The contracts are determined to be cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting. The contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal 2025. There were 18 open contracts at June 30, 2023, with a total notional value of approximately $52. The unrealized pre-tax loss recognized on the zinc contracts was $7.5 and $6.1 at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively, and was included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet.

At June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, Energizer recorded an unrealized pre-tax gain of $77.1 and $86.4, respectively, on the 2020 Interest rate swap agreement, both of which were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet.

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships—Energizer enters into foreign currency derivative contracts, which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, to hedge existing balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts are expected to be offset by corresponding exchange losses or gains on the underlying exposures, and as such are not subject to significant market risk. There were six open foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges at June 30, 2023, with a total notional value of approximately $73.

The following table provides the Company's estimated fair values as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, and the amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedges for the quarters and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

Fair Value Hierarchy—Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.

Under the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy, an entity is required to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, as of June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 that are measured on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy:

	Level 2
(Liabilities)/Assets at estimated fair value:	June 30, 2023		September 30, 2022
Deferred compensation	$	(21.9)	$	(24.6)
Derivatives - Foreign Currency contracts	(3.0)		16.3
Derivatives - Foreign Currency contracts (non-hedge)	(0.8)		(0.6)
Derivatives - Interest Rate Swap contracts	77.1		86.4
Derivatives - Zinc contracts	(7.5)		(6.1)
Net Assets at estimated fair value	$	43.9	$	71.4

Energizer had no Level 1 financial assets or liabilities, other than pension plan assets, and no Level 3 financial assets or liabilities at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022. The Company does measure certain assets and

liabilities, such as Goodwill and Other intangibles, at fair value on a non-recurring basis using level 3 inputs. There were no level 3 fair value measurement gains or losses recognized during the quarters and nine months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents carrying amounts on the balance sheets approximate estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of cash was determined based on level 1 inputs and cash equivalents and restricted cash are determined based on Level 2 inputs.

At June 30, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Company's unfunded deferred compensation liability is determined based upon the quoted market prices of investment options that are offered under the plan. The estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts, interest rate swap and zinc contracts, as described above, is the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts, considering first, quoted market prices of comparable agreements, or in the absence of quoted market prices, such factors as interest rates, currency exchange rates and remaining maturities.

At June 30, 2023, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $2,065.3 compared to its carrying value of $2,384.1, and at September 30, 2022, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $1,795.7 compared to its carrying value of $2,337.1. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt is estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The estimated fair value of fixed rate long-term debt has been determined based on Level 2 inputs.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Legal proceedings/contingencies and other obligations

Legal proceedings/contingencies and other obligationsLegal proceedings/contingencies - The Company and its affiliates are subject to a number of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions arising out of its operations. Many of these legal matters are in preliminary stages and involve complex issues of law and fact, and may proceed for protracted periods of time. The amount of liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty. The Company and its affiliates are a party to legal

proceedings and claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. The Company reviews our legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, the Company believes that its liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, is not reasonably likely to be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, when taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities.

Other obligations - In the ordinary course of business, the Company also enters into supply and service contracts. These contracts can include either volume commitments or fixed expiration dates, termination provisions and other standard contractual considerations. At June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $11.3 of purchase obligations under these contracts.
