READING, Pa., November 11, 2026 — EnerSys (NYSE: ENS), a global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial, infrastructure, and defense applications announced today results for its second quarter fiscal 2027, which ended on October 4, 2026.

“In the second quarter of fiscal year 2027, we delivered gross margin expansion, adjusted operating margin expansion and adjusted EPS growth while continuing to advance our strategic priorities,” said Shawn O’Connell, President and Chief Executive Officer of EnerSys. “Precision Power Solutions delivered more than 20% year-over-year sales growth, supported by strong demand for soldier power and munitions, while Network and Infrastructure Solutions delivered 3% growth against an unusually high second quarter prior year comparison, driven by double-digit growth in data centers. These strong results helped balance the continued pressure in material handling within our Industrial Mobility Solutions and demonstrate the resilience of our diversified portfolio and the operating discipline we are building through our EnerGize strategy.

“We are also seeing encouraging progress as our new products begin reaching customers. During the quarter, we secured our first order for our DataSafe Noir™ lithium solution, began generating sales from our second-generation lithium offering for material handling, and advanced our strategic acquisition plans. These are tangible steps toward expanding our higher-value solutions and converting our product development efforts into profitable growth.

“We recently announced that we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Ultralife, which is a compelling strategic fit for EnerSys and directly advances our strategy to build a broader, more differentiated defense power platform. Building on the success of our recent acquisitions, Ultralife would expand our portfolio of advanced, reliable, high-performance power solutions. Together, we would be better positioned to support U.S. defense and allied forces with leading-edge, cost-effective technologies for the increasingly electrified battlefield of the future. We know the Ultralife business and its team well, and are confident that our shared commitment to engineering, problem solving, and customer focus would create a strong cultural fit. We look forward to combining our strengths to accelerate growth, enhance performance, and deliver greater value to our customers and shareholders.” O’Connell concluded.

The proposed acquisition of Ultralife remains subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals. Until the transaction closes, EnerSys and Ultralife will continue to operate as separate and independent companies.

Summary of Results

Second Quarter Fiscal 2027

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 were $949.9 million, a decrease of 0.1% from the prior year second quarter net sales of $951.3 million and below the range of the second quarter of fiscal 2027 guidance of $955 million to $995 million. The decrease compared to prior year quarter and net sales below the guidance range were the result of foreign currency translation.

Net earnings attributable to EnerSys stockholders (“Net earnings”) for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 were $89.6 million, or $2.42 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $29.3 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, from highlighted items described in further detail in the tables shown below, reconciling non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts.

Net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $68.4 million, or $1.80 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $32.4 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, from highlighted items described in further detail in the tables shown below, reconciling non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts.

Excluding these highlighted items, adjusted Net earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2027, on a non-GAAP basis, were $3.22, compared to the guidance of $3.15 to $3.25 per diluted share for the second quarter given by the Company on August 12, 2026. These earnings compare to the prior year second quarter adjusted Net earnings of $2.65 per diluted share.

Fiscal Year to Date 2027

Net sales for the six months of fiscal 2027 were $1,885.5 million, an increase of 2.2% from the prior year six months net sales of $1,844.3 million. This increase was due to a 1% increase in pricing, and a 1% increase in organic volume.

Net earnings for the six months of fiscal 2027 were $206.1 million, or $5.52 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $50.5 million, or $1.36 per diluted share, from highlighted items described in further detail in the tables shown below, reconciling non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts.

Net earnings for the six months of fiscal 2026 were $125.9 million, or $3.26 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $62.4 million, or $1.62 per diluted share, from highlighted items described in further detail in the tables shown below, reconciling non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts.

Adjusted Net earnings per diluted share for the six months of fiscal 2027, on a non-GAAP basis, were $6.88. This compares to the prior year six months adjusted Net earnings of $4.88 per diluted share. Please refer to the section included herein under the heading “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of the Company’s use of non-GAAP adjusted financial information.

Quarterly Dividend

The Company announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.2875 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable on December 31, 2026, to holders of record as of December 18, 2026.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of October 4, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $275.5 million and net debt as defined by our credit facility was $554.9 million. The net leverage ratio at the end of the second quarter was 0.8 X, down from 1.3 X in the prior year period due to the impact of lower debt and increased earnings. Capital expenditures during the second quarter were $12.4 million, down from $20.9 million in the prior year period. During the second quarter, cash from operating activities was $142.8 million, down from $218.0 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was an inflow of $130.4 million, as compared to an inflow of $197.1 million in the prior year period. The decrease in cash from operating activities and free cash flow were both driven by the receipt of our U.S. federal tax refund in the prior year quarter. Fiscal year to date, cash from operating activities was $372.8 million, up from $219.0 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was an inflow of $348.0 million, as compared to an inflow of $165.1 million in the prior year period. The increase in cash from operating activities and free cash flow were both driven by improved earnings, disciplined capital allocation decisions, and targeted emphasis to optimize primary operating capital, or POC. Please refer to the section included herein under the heading “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of the Company’s use of non-GAAP adjusted financial information, which includes tables reconciling GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted financial measures for the quarters ended October 4, 2026 and September 28, 2025.

The Company also returned approximately $140.3 million to shareholders through $130.0 million in share repurchases and $10.3 million through its quarterly dividend payment in the second quarter.

Third Quarter and Fiscal Year 2027 Outlook

In the third quarter of fiscal 2027, EnerSys expects:

•Net sales: $935M to $975M

•Adjusted diluted EPS: $3.05 to $3.15*

For the full year fiscal 2027, EnerSys expects:

•Capital expenditures ~$70M

Outlook does not reflect any impact from the proposed acquisition of Ultralife, which is expected to close in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2027, or the impact of any IEEPA tariff refunds or customer reimbursements in our income statement. In the quarter, results included a one-time impact of ($2M) or ($0.04) per share from tariff refund adjustments recorded in corporate unallocated and other. Fiscal year to date, results include an impact of $29M or $0.59 per share.

“Our second quarter results demonstrate continued progress in strengthening the earnings power of EnerSys,” said Andrea Funk, EnerSys Chief Financial Officer. “Improved volumes and favorable price/mix in our PPS and NIS segments, balanced the impact of material handling softness within our IMS segment. We again delivered strong free cash flow, with FCF conversion

of 146%. Our focus on operating discipline, cost management and higher-value solutions supports our ability to expand margins while investing in the opportunities ahead.

“Our third quarter outlook reflects continued strength across Aerospace and Defense, Data Centers, and Transportation, with Communications picking up and Material Handling demonstrating early recovery that should transform IMS segment revenue to year-on-year growth. From a margin perspective, we expect IMS to see pressure as Transportation outpaces higher margin Material Handling growth, largely offsetting the margin lift from incremental volume. In PPS and NIS, the project nature of these businesses and related quarter-to-quarter fluctuations create tough comps as both segments delivered exceptionally strong margins in the prior year and prior quarter. For the third quarter, we expect net sales of $935 million to $975 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $3.05 to $3.15. We remain focused on translating demand opportunities across all of our end markets into profitable growth. Disciplined capital allocation remains central to our approach as we invest in growth, pursue strategic acquisitions and return capital to shareholders,” concluded Funk.

*Inclusive of IRC 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Credits.

Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, ("GAAP"). EnerSys' management uses the non-GAAP measures “adjusted Net earnings”, “adjusted diluted EPS”, "reported Net earnings excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit", "adjusted Net earnings excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit", "reported Net earnings (loss) per share excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit", " adjusted diluted EPS excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit", "GM excluding (ex) 45X", "adjusted operating earnings", "adjusted gross profit", "adjusted gross margin", "EBITDA", “adjusted EBITDA”, "adjusted EBITDA per credit agreement", "net debt", "net leverage ratio", "free cash flow", and "adjusted free cash flow conversion" as applicable, in their analysis of the Company's performance. Adjusted Net earnings, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, and adjusted operating earnings measures, as used by EnerSys in past quarters and years, adjusts Net earnings, gross profit, gross margin, and operating earnings determined in accordance with GAAP to reflect changes in financial results associated with the Company's restructuring initiatives and other highlighted charges and income items. Reported Net earnings excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit, adjusted Net earnings excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit, reported Net earnings (loss) per share excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit, adjusted diluted EPS excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit, and GM excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit as used by EnerSys in past quarters and years, adjusted Net earnings, adjusted Net earnings, Net earnings (loss) per share, adjusted diluted EPS, and gross margin to reflect the financial impact of IRC 45X. Adjusted EBITDA is a key performance measure that our management uses to assess our operating performance. Because adjusted EBITDA facilitates internal comparisons of our historical operating performance on a more consistent basis, we use this measure as an overall assessment of our performance, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and for business planning purposes. We calculate adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest income, interest expense, other (income) expense net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude restructuring and exit activities, impairment of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles and other assets, stock-based compensation, acquisition activities and those charges and credits that are not directly related to operating unit performance. EBITDA is calculated as net income before interest income, interest expense, other (income) expense net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define adjusted EBITDA per credit agreement as net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and certain charges or credits as permitted by our credit agreements, that were recorded during the periods presented. We define non-GAAP net debt as total debt, finance lease obligations and letters of credit, net of all cash and cash equivalents, as defined in the Fourth Amended Credit Facility on the balance sheet as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter. We define non-GAAP net leverage ratio as non-GAAP net debt divided by last twelve months adjusted EBITDA per credit agreement. We define free cash flow as net cash provided by or used in operating activities less capital expenditures. We define adjusted free cash flow conversion as free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings. Free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion are used by investors, financial analysts, rating agencies and management to help evaluate the Company’s ability to generate cash to pursue incremental opportunities aimed toward enhancing shareholder value. Management believes the presentation of these financial measures reflecting these non-GAAP adjustments provides important supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of the Company as distinct from results that include items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results and overall business performance; in particular, those charges that the Company incurs as a result of restructuring activities, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles and other assets, acquisition activities and those charges and credits that are not directly related to operating unit performance, such as significant legal proceedings, amortization of intangible assets, tax valuation allowance changes, withholding tax from repatriation of prior period earnings, and impacts of changes or reform to income tax laws. Because these charges are not incurred as a result of ongoing operations, or are incurred as a result of a potential or previous acquisition, they are not as helpful a measure of the performance of our underlying business, particularly in light of their unpredictable nature and are difficult to forecast. Although we exclude the amortization of purchased intangibles from these non-GAAP measures, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.

Income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments are calculated using the applicable statutory tax rate for the jurisdictions in which the charges (benefits) are incurred, while taking into consideration any valuation allowances. For those items which are non-taxable, the tax expense (benefit) is calculated at 0%.

EnerSys does not provide a quantitative reconciliation of the Company’s projected range for adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit for the third quarter of fiscal 2027 to diluted earnings per share, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in reliance on the unreasonable efforts exception provided under Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. EnerSys' adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS ex IRC 45X benefit guidance for the third quarter of fiscal 2027 excludes certain items, including but not limited to certain non-cash, large and/or unpredictable charges and benefits, charges from restructuring and exit activities, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles, stock-based compensation, acquisition and disposition activities, legal judgments, settlements, or other matters, and tax positions, that are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict, can be dependent on future events that are less capable of being controlled or reliably predicted by management and are not part of the Company's routine operating activities. Due to the uncertainty of the occurrence or timing of these future excluded items, management cannot accurately forecast many of these items for internal use and therefore cannot create a quantitative adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS excluding (ex) IRC 45X benefit for the third quarter of fiscal 2027 to diluted earnings per share reconciliation without unreasonable efforts.

These non-GAAP disclosures have limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for operating earnings, Net earnings or net income determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Management believes that this non-GAAP supplemental information will be helpful in understanding the Company's ongoing operating results. This supplemental presentation should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to Net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP.

A reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted operating earnings is set forth in the table below, providing a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted operating earnings to the Company’s reported operating results for its business segments. Corporate and other includes amounts managed on a company-wide basis and not directly allocated to any reportable segments, primarily relating to IRC 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Credits. Also, included are start up costs for exploration of a new lithium plant. Beginning in the current fiscal year, the Company excludes all stock-based compensation expense from adjusted operating earnings. Prior-period adjusted measures have been recast to conform to the current-period presentation.
