Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

As of March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $438.7 million and net debt as defined by our credit facility was $684.1 million. The net leverage ratio at the end of the fourth quarter was 1.1 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 fourth quarter were $12.8 million, down from $30.2 million in the prior year period. During the fourth quarter, cash from operating activities was $144.0 million, up from $135.2 million in the prior year period. Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $131.2 million, as compared to $105.0 million in the prior year period. The increase in cash from operating activities and the increase in free cash flow were both bolstered by improved primary operating capital during the quarter.

First Quarter and Fiscal Year 2027 Outlook

"We closed fiscal year 2026 with strong financial performance, supported by disciplined execution and the benefits of our diversified portfolio," said Andrea Funk, EnerSys Chief Financial Officer. "Strength in our Data Center, Communications and Aerospace and Defense businesses drove favorable price/mix that eclipsed inflationary cost increases and, along with realignment cost savings, supported our ability to deliver record full-year results. The breadth of our end markets helped offset the ongoing softness in our Motive Power and Transportation markets, where order trends improved sequentially during our fourth quarter."

"We entered fiscal year 2027 with encouraging demand signals. Our first quarter fiscal 2027 outlook reflects typical seasonality, with expected net sales of $915 million to $955 million and adjusted diluted EPS excluding 45X of $1.61 to $1.71. We anticipate continued price/mix strength and benefits from our EnerGize strategic initiatives, as well as strong cash flow generation and disciplined capital allocation, including returning capital to shareholders, which position us to drive earnings growth as demand continues to normalize," concluded Funk.
