Key Developments

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

In March 2002, we acquired the reserve power and motive power business of the Energy Storage Group of Invensys plc. (“ESGI”). Our successful integration of ESGI provided global scale in both the reserve and motive power markets. The ESGI acquisition also provided us with a further opportunity to reduce costs and improve operating efficiency.

Between fiscal years 2003 through 2026, we made thirty-seven acquisitions around the globe. There were no significant acquisitions in fiscal 2023 or 2024. On July 26, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the equity of Bren-Tronics Defense LLC for $206.4 million in cash consideration, as set forth in the stock purchase agreement. Bren-Tronics Defense LLC, headquartered in Commack, New York, is a leading manufacturer of highly reliable portable power solutions, including small and large format lithium batteries and charging solutions, for military and defense applications. The financial results contributed from this business are reported within our Specialty line of business.

Our Customers

Environmental Matters and Climate Change Impacts

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

Environmental and safety certifications

Twenty-six of our facilities in the Americas, EMEA and APAC are certified to ISO 14001. ISO 14001 is a globally recognized, voluntary program that focuses on the implementation, maintenance and continual improvement of an environmental management system and the improvement of environmental performance. Thirteen facilities in EMEA and APAC are certified to ISO 45001. The ISO 45001 is a globally recognized occupational health and safety management systems standard.

Climate change impacts

The potential impact of climate change on our operations is uncertain. The changing climate may result in new and erratic weather patterns, increases in the frequency or severity of storms, increased and decreased temperatures and rising sea levels. As discussed elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including in Item 1A. Risk Factors, our operating results are significantly influenced by weather, and major changes in historical weather patterns could have a notable impact on our future operating results. For example, if climate change results in drier weather and more accommodating temperatures over a significant period of time, we may be able to increase our productivity, which could positively impact our revenues and gross margins. Conversely, if climate change results in a greater amount of rainfall, snow, ice or other less accommodating weather conditions, we could experience reduced productivity, which could negatively impact our revenues and gross margins. Further, while an increase in severe weather events, such as hurricanes, tropical storms, blizzards and ice storms, can create a greater amount of emergency restoration service work (an area of potential revenue generation), it often also can result in delays or

other negative consequences for our manufacturing operations, or challenges to the consistent delivery of materials from our supply chain or of our products to distributors, which could negatively impact our financial results. Climate change may also affect the conditions in which we operate, and in some cases, expose us to potentially increased liabilities associated with those environmental conditions. Concerns about climate change could also result in new regulations, regulatory actions or requirements to invest in energy efficiency, any of which could result in increased costs associated with our operations. We are aware of the various regulatory developments on climate (and other sustainability-related) disclosures from multiple jurisdictions, including the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). While we are following the progression of these rules, we are pleased to note that we are well prepared to meet their conditions at or before EnerSys would be required to do so. We have released comprehensive Sustainability Reports since 2022, which are aligned with GRI, SASB and most recently ISSB, standards. For FY25 we also published a comprehensive index aligned with CSRD standards Included in these reports, we announced key, measurable environmental, social, and governance goals and objectives aimed at advancing progress in sustainability, reducing our environmental footprint and creating an inclusive and empowering workplace for all employees. We also issued our third Task Force of Climate Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) Report in May 2025. As part of our growing sustainability commitment, we announced during fiscal year 2022 that we joined the United Nations Global Compact, Alliance to Save Energy, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Plants Program (through which we committed to reducing our energy intensity by 25% over the next 10 years (from a calendar year 2020 baseline)and the United Nations CEO Water Mandate. Since calendar 2023, we have submitted to the CDP. In 2025 this includes section on Climate Change, Water and Supply chain. We have conducted and published a climate risk analysis and have published our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions annually. We have set net-neutral goals for Scopes 1 (2040) and 2 (2050) and have marked consistent decreases in both overall carbon emissions as well as carbon intensity. In October, 2024, we published our Climate Action Plan Roadmap, detailing our plans to achieve our Scope 1 and 2 related climate goals. For fiscal year 2026, sustainability metrics were incorporated into the annual goals of our CEO and certain elements of employee compensation.

We strive to operate our facilities in a manner that protects the environment and the health and safety of our employees, customers and communities. We have established required sustainability training for identified employees and incorporate climate and other sustainability considerations into our formal decision-making processes. We have implemented company-wide environmental, health and safety policies and practices, which includes monitoring, training and communication of these policies.

Quality Systems

We utilize a global strategy for quality management systems, policies and procedures, the basis of which is ISO 9001:2015, a worldwide recognized quality standard. We believe in the principles of this standard and reinforce the same by requiring mandatory certification to the ISO 9001 standard for all manufacturing locations globally. We also focus on plant certifications that serve specific industries such as AS9100 (Aerospace), ISO 13485:2016 (Medical Devices), ISO/TS 22163:2017 (Rail), IATF 16949:2016 (Automotive) and ISO 19443 (Nuclear). We have also acquired our first Lithium-Ion product certification in accordance with ISO 26262 (Product Safety).

This strategy enables us to provide consistent quality products and services to meet our customers’ needs.

Human Capital Management

EnerSys believes that human capital management, including attracting, developing and retaining a high-quality workforce, is critical to our long-term success. We are committed to fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration and continuous learning, driving sustainable growth and long-term value creation for our shareholders, employees and stakeholders alike.

Creating a positive employee experience throughout the talent lifecycle is key to a highly stable and engaged workforce and a critical element in meeting strategic business goals. Our Board of Directors, through the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, retains oversight of our human capital management process, including talent development, employee retention, material aspects of employee compensation, as well as our People Index as an indicator of cultural health. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reports on human capital matters at each regularly scheduled Board of Directors meeting.
