NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments except those otherwise described herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, unless otherwise disclosed. Operating results for the current quarter ended July 2, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024.
The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at March 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K (SEC File No. 001-32253), which was filed on May 25, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”).
EnerSys (the “Company”) reports interim financial information for 13-week periods, except for the first quarter, which always begins on April 1, and the fourth quarter, which always ends on March 31. The four quarters in fiscal 2024 end on July 2, 2023, October 1, 2023, December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2024, respectively. The four quarters in fiscal 2023 ended on July 3, 2022, October 2, 2022, January 1, 2023, and March 31, 2023, respectively.
The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and any partially owned subsidiaries that the Company has the ability to control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions take into account historical and forward looking factors that the Company believes are reasonable, and the Company’s estimates and assumptions may evolve as conditions change. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Examples of significant estimates include the allowance for credit losses, the recoverability of property, plant and equipment, the incremental borrowing rate for lease liabilities, the recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets, fair value measurements, including those related to financial instruments, goodwill and intangible assets, valuation allowances on tax assets, pension and postretirement benefit obligations, contingencies and the identification and valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations.

2. Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenues by reportable segments are presented in Note 16 and are consistent with how we organize and manage our operations, as well as product line net sales information.
Service revenues related to the work performed for the Company’s customers by its maintenance technicians generally represent a separate and distinct performance obligation. Control for these services passes to the customer as the services are performed.
A small portion of the Company's customer arrangements oblige the Company to create customized products for its customers that require combining both products and services into a single performance obligation because the individual products and services that are required to fulfill the customer requirements do not meet the definition for a distinct performance obligation. These customized products generally have no alternative use to the Company and the terms and conditions of these arrangements give the Company the enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, including a reasonable profit margin. For these arrangements, control transfers over time and the Company measures progress towards completion by selecting the input or output method that best depicts the transfer of control of the underlying goods and services to the customer for each respective arrangement. Methods used by the Company to measure progress toward completion include labor hours, costs incurred and units of production. Revenues recognized over time for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023 amounted to $58,654 and $57,004, respectively.
On July 2, 2023, the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was approximately $149,294, of which, the Company estimates that approximately $119,987 will be recognized as revenue in fiscal 2024, $29,242 in fiscal 2025, and $18 in fiscal 2026, $23 in fiscal 2027, and $24 thereafter.
Any payments that are received from a customer in advance, prior to the satisfaction of a related performance obligation and billings in excess of revenue recognized, are deferred and treated as a contract liability. Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized are classified as current or non-current based on the timing of when recognition of revenue is expected. As of July 2, 2023, the current and non-current portion of contract liabilities were $29,822 and $974, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, the current and non-current portion of contract liabilities were $34,594 and $1,437, respectively. Revenues recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023 that were included in the contract liability at the beginning of the quarter, amounted to $12,391 and $4,590, respectively.
Amounts representing work completed and not billed to customers represent contract assets and were $56,177 and $48,616 as of July 2, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.
The Company uses historic customer product return data as a basis of estimation for customer returns and records the reduction of sales at the time revenue is recognized. At July 2, 2023, the right of return asset related to the value of inventory anticipated to be returned from customers was $4,748 and refund liability representing amounts estimated to be refunded to customers was $8,317.
3. Accounts Receivable

|  | July 2, 2023 |  | March 31, 2023
Accounts receivable |  | $ | 575,531 |  |  | $ | 646,592 |
Allowance for doubtful accounts |  | 9,033 |  |  | 8,775 |
Accounts receivable, net |  | $ | 566,498 |  |  | $ | 637,817 |

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement (RPA), under which the Company continuously sells its interest in designated pools of trade accounts receivables, at a discount, to a special purpose entity, which in turn sells certain of the receivables to an unaffiliated financial institution ("unaffiliated financial institution") on a monthly basis. The Company may sell certain US-originated accounts receivable balances up to a maximum amount of $150,000. In return for these sales, the Company receives a cash payment equal to the face value of the receivables and is charged a fee of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 85 basis points against the sold receivable balance. The program is conducted through EnerSys Finance LLC ("EnerSys Finance"), an entity structured to be bankruptcy remote, and matures in December 2025. The Company is deemed the primary beneficiary of EnerSys Finance as the Company has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity from the transfer of the trade accounts

receivables into the special purpose entity. Accordingly, EnerSys Finance is included in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.
Receivables sold to unaffiliated financial institutions under the program are excluded from “Accounts receivable, net” on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, and cash receipts are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. The purchase price is received in cash when the receivables are sold, and fees charged relating to this balance are recorded to other (income) expense. Certain unsold receivables held by EnerSys Finance serve as collateral to unaffiliated financial institutions. These unsold receivables are included in “Accounts receivable, net” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company continues servicing the receivables which were sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee from EnerSys Finance under the program.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company sold $182,391 of accounts receivables for approximately $182,391 in proceeds to an unaffiliated financial institution, of which $183,352 were collected as of July 2, 2023. Total collateralized accounts receivables of approximately $228,154 were held by EnerSys Finance at July 2, 2023.
Any accounts receivables held by EnerSys Finance would likely not be available to other creditors of the Company in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings relating to the Company until the outstanding balances under the RPA are satisfied. Additionally, the financial obligations of EnerSys Finance to the unaffiliated financial institutions under the program are limited to the assets it owns and there is no recourse to the Company for receivables that are uncollectible as a result of the insolvency of EnerSys Finance or its inability to pay the account debtors.

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following tables represent the financial assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 2, 2023 and March 31, 2023, and the basis for that measurement:

|  | Total Fair Value Measurement July 2, 2023 |  | Quoted Price in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) |  | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |  | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

Total derivatives |  | $ | (16,088) |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | (16,088) |  |  | $ | — |

The fair values of lead forward contracts are calculated using observable prices for lead as quoted on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”) and, therefore, were classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 1- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2023 Annual Report.
The fair values for foreign currency forward contracts and net investment hedges are based upon current quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2 based on the nature of the underlying market in which these derivatives are traded.
The fair value of interest rate swap agreements are based on observable prices as quoted for receiving the variable one month term SOFR and paying fixed interest rates and, therefore, were classified as Level 2.
Financial Instruments
The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximate carrying value due to their short maturities.
The fair value of the Company’s short-term debt and borrowings under the Third Amended Credit Facility (as defined in Note 11), approximate their respective carrying value, as they are variable rate debt and the terms are comparable to market terms as of the balance sheet dates and are classified as Level 2.
In fiscal 2020, the Company issued its 4.375% Senior Notes due December 15, 2027 (the “2027 Notes”), with an original face value of $300,000. The fair value of the 2027 Notes represents the trading values based upon quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2. The 2027 Notes were trading at approximately 92% and 92% of face value on July 2, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

(2)The fair value amount of the Senior Notes at July 2, 2023 and March 31, 2023 represent the trading value of the instruments.
Non-recurring fair value measurements
On June 29, 2022, the Company committed to a plan to close its facility in Ooltewah, Tennessee, which focused on manufacturing flooded motive power batteries for electric forklifts. Management determined that future demand for traditional motive power flooded cells will decrease as customers transition to maintenance free product solutions in lithium and Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL). As a result, the Company concluded that the carrying value of the asset group was not recoverable and recorded during the first quarter of fiscal 2023 a write-off of $7,300 of the fixed assets, for which there is expected to be no salvageable value. The valuation technique used to measure the fair value of fixed assets was a combination of the income and market approaches. The inputs used to measure the fair value of these fixed assets under the income approach were largely unobservable and accordingly were classified as Level 3.
6. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company utilizes derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest, under established procedures and controls. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes. The Company’s agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions and the Company anticipates performance by counterparties to these contracts and therefore no material loss is expected.
Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships
Lead Forward Contracts
The Company enters into lead forward contracts to fix the price for a portion of its lead purchases. Management considers the lead forward contracts to be effective against changes in the cash flows of the underlying lead purchases. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. At July 2, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company has hedged the price to purchase approximately 55.0 million pounds and 50.0 million pounds of lead, respectively, for a total purchase price of $52,137 and $47,921, respectively.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and options to hedge a portion of the Company’s foreign currency exposures for lead, as well as other foreign currency exposures so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the underlying foreign currency denominated exposures. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. As of July 2, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company had entered into a total of $44,760 and $45,823, respectively, of such contracts.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
11

Table of Contents
The Company is exposed to changes in variable interest rates on borrowings under our credit agreement. On a selective basis, from time to time, it enters into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the negative impact that increases in interest rates could have on our outstanding variable rate debt. At July 2, 2023 and March 31, 2023 such agreements effectively convert $200,000 of our variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, utilizing the one-month term SOFR, as a floating rate reference. Fluctuations in SOFR and fixed rates affect both our net financial investment position and the amount of cash to be paid or received by us under these agreements.
Derivatives in Net Investment Hedging Relationships
Net Investment Hedges
The Company uses cross currency fixed interest rate swaps to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and Euro.
On December 23, 2021, the Company entered into cross currency fixed interest rate swap agreements, with aggregate notional amounts of $300,000, to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between U.S. dollars and euros. On September 29, 2022, the Company terminated its $300,000 cross-currency fixed interest rate swap contracts, originally entered into on December 23, 2021, and received a net settlement of $43,384.
On September 29, 2022, the Company entered into cross-currency fixed interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $150,000, maturing on December 15, 2027. The cross-currency fixed interest rate swap contracts qualify for hedge accounting as a net investment hedging instrument, which allows for them to be remeasured to foreign currency translation adjustment within AOCI (“Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”) to offset the translation risk from those investments. Balances in the foreign currency translation adjustment accounts remain until the sale or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity, upon which they are recognized as a component of income (expense).
Impact of Hedging Instruments on AOCI
In the coming twelve months, the Company anticipates that $5,069 of pretax (gain) relating to lead, foreign currency forward contracts and net investment hedges will be reclassified from AOCI as part of cost of goods sold and interest expense. This amount represents the current net unrealized impact of hedging lead, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, which will change as market rates change in the future. This amount will ultimately be realized in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income as an offset to the corresponding actual changes in lead, foreign exchange rates and interest costs resulting from variable lead cost, foreign exchange and interest rates hedged.
Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to economically hedge foreign currency fluctuations on intercompany loans and foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. These are not designated as hedging instruments and changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded directly in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. As of July 2, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the notional amount of these contracts was $75,798 and $102,558, respectively.

7. Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax provision consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provision for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023 was based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods. The Company’s effective income tax rate with respect to any period may be volatile based on the mix of income in the tax jurisdictions, in which the Company operates, changes in tax laws and the amount of the Company's consolidated earnings before taxes.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was enacted. The IRA includes multiple incentives to promote clean energy, and energy storage manufacturing among other provisions with tax credits available from 2023 to 2032, subject to phase down beginning in 2030. In particular the IRA creates a refundable tax credit, pursuant to Section 45X of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), for battery cells and battery modules manufactured or assembled in the United States and sold to third parties. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the IRA impact resulted in a reduction of our costs of goods sold and income tax payable. There is a possibility that additional clarification guidance is issued with respect to the Section 45X credit qualifications. Amounts recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements are based on Management's judgement and best estimate utilizing the most current guidance. The Company will continue to evaluate the effects of IRA as more guidance is issued and the relevant implications to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from management’s current estimate.
The consolidated effective income tax rates for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023 were 9.2% and 15.7%. The rate decrease in the first quarter compared to the prior year quarter is primarily due to the impact of the IRA. In addition, there was a discrete foreign exchange tax benefit related to undistributed earnings which was offset by the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions.
Foreign income as a percentage of worldwide income is estimated to be 51% for fiscal 2024 compared to 77% for fiscal 2023. T his reduction is primarily due to the impact of the IRA. The foreign effective tax rates for the current quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023 were 12% and 11%, respectively. Income from the Company's Swiss subsidiary comprised a substantial portion of the Company's overall foreign mix of income for both fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 and were taxed at an effective income tax rate of approximately 8% and 9%, respectively.

9. Commitments, Contingencies and Litigation
Litigation and Other Legal Matters
In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are routinely defendants in or parties to pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. These actions and proceedings are generally based on alleged violations of environmental, anticompetition, employment, contract and other laws. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Company and its subsidiaries. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to regulatory and governmental examinations, information gathering requests, inquiries, investigations, and threatened legal actions and proceedings. In connection with formal and informal inquiries by federal, state, local and foreign agencies, the Company and its subsidiaries receive numerous requests, subpoenas and orders for documents, testimony and information in connection with various aspects of their activities.
European Competition Investigations
Certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries had received subpoenas and requests for documents and, in some cases, interviews from, and have had on-site inspections conducted by, the competition authorities of Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands relating to conduct and anticompetitive practices of certain industrial battery participants. For additional information regarding these matters, see Note 19 - Commitments, Contingencies and Litigation to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the 2023 Annual Report. As of July 2, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Company did not have a reserve balance related to these matters.
The precise scope, timing and time period at issue, as well as the final outcome of the investigations or customer claims, remain uncertain. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate may change from time to time, and actual losses could vary.
Environmental Issues
As a result of its operations, the Company is subject to various federal, state, and local, as well as international environmental laws and regulations and is exposed to the costs and risks of registering, handling, processing, storing, transporting, and disposing of hazardous substances, especially lead and acid. The Company’s operations are also subject to federal, state, local and international occupational safety and health regulations, including laws and regulations relating to exposure to lead in the workplace. The Company believes that it has adequate reserves to satisfy its environmental liabilities.
Lead, Foreign Currency Forward Contracts and Swaps
To stabilize its lead costs and reduce volatility from currency and interest rate movements, the Company entered into contracts with financial institutions. The vast majority of lead and foreign currency contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. The Company also entered into a cross currency fixed interest rate swap agreement, maturing on December 15, 2027, to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and Euro. The Company also entered into floating to fixed interest rate swap agreements maturing on September 30, 2026, to hedge its exposure to variable interest rates. Please refer to Note 6 - Derivative Financial Instruments for more details.

A substantial portion of these plans are complete with an estimated $432 remaining to be incurred by the end of fiscal 2024, mainly related to plans started in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. Restructuring and exit charges for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 by reportable segments are as follows:

|  | Quarter ended July 2, 2023
|  | Energy Systems |  | Motive Power |  | Specialty |  | Total
Restructuring charges |  | $ | 488 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 488 |

Exit Charges
Fiscal 2023 Programs
Sylmar
In November 2022, the Company committed to a plan to close its facility in Sylmar, California, which manufactures specialty lithium batteries for aerospace and medical applications. Management determined to close the site upon the expiration of its lease on the property and to redirect production through consolidation into existing locations. The Company currently estimates total charges in the exit to amount to $9,460. Cash charges are estimated to total $5,700 primarily relating to severance and other costs to leave the site. Non-cash charges are estimated to be $3,760 relating to fixed assets, inventory, and contract assets. The plan is expected to be completed in fiscal 2024.
During fiscal 2023, the Company recorded cash charges of $1,682 related primarily related to severance costs and non-cash charges totaling $417 primarily relating to contract assets.
During the current quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded cash charges of $4,017 primarily related to severance costs, relocation expenses, and manufacturing variances and non-cash charges totaling $245. The Company also recorded a non-cash write off relating to inventories of $3,098, which was reported in cost of goods sold.
Ooltewah
On June 29, 2022, the Company committed to a plan to close its facility in Ooltewah, Tennessee, which produced flooded motive power batteries for electric forklifts. Management determined that future demand for traditional motive power flooded cells will decrease as customers transition to maintenance free product solutions in lithium and TPPL. The Company currently estimates that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $18,500. Cash charges for employee severance related payments, cleanup related to the facility, contractual releases and legal expenses are estimated to be $9,200 and non-cash charges from inventory and fixed asset write-offs are estimated to be $9,300. These actions will result in the reduction of approximately 165 employees. The plan is expected to be completed in calendar 2023.
During fiscal 2023, the Company recorded cash charges relating to severance and manufacturing variances of $2,735 and non-cash charges of $7,261 relating to fixed asset write-offs. The Company also recorded a non-cash write off relating to inventories of $1,613, which was reported in cost of goods sold.
During the current quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded cash charges relating to site clean up and decommissioning equipment of $881.
Fiscal 2021 Program
Hagen, Germany
In fiscal 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to close substantially all of its facility in Hagen, Germany, which produced flooded motive power batteries for electric forklifts. Management determined that future demand for the motive power batteries produced at this facility was not sufficient, given the conversion from flooded to maintenance free batteries by customers, the existing number of competitors in the market, as well as the near term decline in demand and increased uncertainty from the pandemic. The Company plans to retain the facility with limited sales, service and administrative functions along with related personnel for the foreseeable future.
The Company currently estimates that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $60,000, of which cash charges for employee severance related payments, cleanup related to the facility, contractual releases and legal expenses were estimated to be $40,000 and non-cash charges from inventory and equipment write-offs were estimated to be $20,000. The majority of these charges were recorded as of January 1, 2023. These actions resulted in the reduction of approximately 200 employees.
During fiscal 2021, the Company recorded cash charges relating to severance of $23,331 and non-cash charges of $7,946 primarily relating to fixed asset write-offs.
During fiscal 2022, the Company recorded cash charges primarily relating to severance of $8,069 and non-cash charges of $3,522 primarily relating to fixed asset write-offs. The Company also recorded a non-cash write off relating to inventories of $960, which was reported in cost of goods sold.
During fiscal 2023, the Company recorded cash charges of $2,207 relating to primarily to site cleanup and $562 of non-cash charges relating to accelerated depreciation of fixed assets.
During the current quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded cash charges of $485 relating primarily to site cleanup and $143 of non-cash charges relating to accelerated depreciation of fixed assets.

Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2020. The 2027 Notes mature on December 15, 2027, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased in full and are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company. They are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by certain of its subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Fourth Amended Credit Facility (defined below). These guarantees are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of such guarantors.
The Company may redeem, prior to September 15, 2027, all or a portion of the 2027 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a “make whole” premium to, but excluding, the redemption date. The Company may redeem, on or after September 15, 2027, all or a portion of the 2027 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

2017 Credit Facility and Subsequent Amendments
In fiscal 2018, the Company entered into a credit facility (the “2017 Credit Facility”). The 2017 Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on September 30, 2022, initially comprised a $600,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (“2017 Revolver”) and a $150,000 senior secured term loan (“2017 Term Loan”). The Company utilized the borrowings from the 2017 Credit Facility to repay its pre-existing credit facility.
In fiscal 2019, the Company amended the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Amended Credit Facility”) to fund the Alpha acquisition. The Amended Credit Facility consisted of $449,105 senior secured term loans (the “Amended Term Loan”), including a CAD 133,050 ($99,105) senior secured term loan and a $700,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Amended Revolver”). The amendment resulted in an increase of the 2017 Term Loan and the 2017 Revolver by $299,105 and $100,000, respectively.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company entered into a second amendment to the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Second Amended Credit Facility”). The Second Amended Credit Facility, scheduled to mature on September 30, 2026, consists of a $130,000 senior secured term loan (the “Second Amended Term Loan”), a CAD 106,440 ($84,229) senior secured term loan and an $850,000 senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Second Amended Revolver”). The second amendment resulted in a decrease of the Amended Term Loan by $150,000 and an increase of the Amended Revolver by $150,000.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company entered into a third amendment to the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Third Amended Credit Facility”). The Third Amended Credit Facility provides a new incremental delayed-draw senior secured term loan up to $300,000 (the “Third Amended Term Loan”), which shall be available to draw at any time until March 15, 2023. Once drawn, the funds will mature on September 30, 2026, the same as the Company's Second Amended Term loan and Second Amended Revolver. In connection with the agreement, the Company incurred $1,161 in third party administrative and legal fees recognized in interest expense and capitalized $1,096 in charges from existing lenders as a deferred asset. During the fourth quarter, the Company drew $300,000 in the form of the Third Amended Term Loan. Additionally, the Company derecognized the capitalized deferred asset and recognized the $1,096 as deferred financing costs.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Fourth Amended Credit Facility”). The Fourth Amended Credit Facility replaces the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) in the calculation of interest for both the Second Amended Revolver and the Second Amended Term Loan.
Subsequent to the fourth amendment, the quarterly installments payable on the Second Amended Term Loan are 2,630 beginning December 31, 2022, 3,945 beginning December 31, 2024 and 5,261 beginning December 31, 2025 with a final payment of 157,817 on September 30, 2026. The Fourth Amended Credit Facility may be increased by an aggregate amount of $350,000 in revolving commitments and /or one or more new tranches of term loans, under certain conditions. Both the Second Amended Revolver and the Second Amended Term Loan bear interest, at the Company's option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the SOFR or Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) plus (i) Term SOFR plus between 1.125% and 2.25% (currently 1.25% and based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio) or (ii) the U.S. Dollar Base Rate (which equals, for any day a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, (b) Bank of America “Prime Rate” and (c) the Eurocurrency Base Rate plus 1%; provided that, if the Base Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero) (iii) the CDOR Base Rate equal to the higher of (a) Bank of America “Prime Rate” and (b) average 30-day CDOR rate plus 0.50%.

The quarterly installments payable on the Third Amended Term Loan are $3,750 beginning June 30, 2023, $5,625 beginning December 31, 2024 and $7,500 beginning December 31, 2025 with a final payment of $232,500 on September 30, 2026. The Third Amended Term Loan bears interest, at the Company's option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) SOFR plus 10 basis points plus (i) Term SOFR plus between 1.375% and 2.50% (currently 1.50% and based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio) or (ii) the U.S. Dollar Base Rate plus between 0.375% and 1.50%, which equals, for any day a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%, (b) Bank of America “Prime Rate” and (c) the Term SOFR plus 1%; provided that, if the Base Rate shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed zero). Until the funds were drawn on March 13, 2023, the Company paid a commitment fee of 0.175% to 0.35% at a rate per annum on the unused portion.
Obligations under the Fourth Amended Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s existing and future acquired assets, including substantially all of the capital stock of the Company’s United States subsidiaries that are guarantors under the Fourth Amended Credit Facility and up to 65% of the capital stock of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that are owned by the Company’s United States subsidiaries.
The Fourth Amended Credit Facility allows for up to two temporary increases in the maximum leverage ratio to 4.50x from 4.00x to 4.25x for a four quarter period following an acquisition larger than $250,000. Effective with the Fourth Amended Credit Facility, the maximum leverage ratio increased from 3.50x to 4.25x effective to the last day of the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 and decreasing subsequently to 4.00x.
As of July 2, 2023, the Company had $115,000 outstanding under the Second Amended Revolver, $498,782 under the Second Amended Term Loan, and $300,000 outstanding under the Third Amended Term Loan.

The economic climate in North America, China and EMEA slowed in calendar 2022 after experiencing strong growth during calendar 2021. All regions are experiencing a rise in inflation and are being negatively impacted by the war in Ukraine. We expect interest rates to continue to increase in the U.S. and the Euro zone. China’s slowing economy is facing further headwinds caused by continued high COVID-19 infection rates.
EnerSys is experiencing supply chain disruptions and cost spikes in certain materials such as plastic resins and electronic components along with transportation and related logistics challenges and broad-based cost increases. In addition, certain locations are experiencing difficulty meeting hiring and labor retention goals. Generally, our mitigation efforts and ongoing lean initiatives, have tempered the impact of the pandemic-related challenges. The overall market demand remains robust.
Volatility of Commodities and Foreign Currencies
Our most significant commodity and foreign currency exposures are related to lead and the Euro, respectively. Historically, volatility of commodity costs and foreign currency exchange rates have caused large swings in our production costs. Since the beginning of fiscal year 2023, we have experienced a range in lead prices from just above $1.10 per pound to approximately $0.85 per pound. We are experiencing elevated costs in some of our other raw materials such as plastic resins, steel, copper, acid, separator paper and electronics and elevated freight and increased energy costs. However, these increased costs have moderated during fiscal year 2024.
Customer Pricing
Our selling prices fluctuated during the last several years to offset the volatile cost of commodities. Approximately 25% of our revenue is now subject to agreements that adjust pricing to a market-based index for lead. Customer pricing changes generally lag movements in lead prices and other costs by approximately six to nine months. In fiscal 2023 and 2024, customer pricing has increased due to certain commodity prices and other costs having increased throughout the year.
Based on current commodity markets, it is difficult to predict with certainty whether commodity prices will be higher or lower in fiscal 2024 versus fiscal 2023. However, given the lag related to increasing our selling prices for inflationary cost increase, on average our selling prices should be higher in fiscal 2024 versus fiscal 2023. As we concentrate more on energy systems and non-lead chemistries, the emphasis on lead is expected to continue to decline.

Primary Operating Capital
As part of managing the performance of our business, we monitor the level of primary operating capital, and its ratio to net sales. We define primary operating capital as accounts receivable, plus inventories, minus accounts payable. The resulting net amount is divided by the trailing three month net sales (annualized) to derive a primary operating capital percentage. We believe these three elements included in primary operating capital are most operationally driven, and this performance measure provides us with information about the asset intensity and operating efficiency of the business on a company-wide basis that management can monitor and analyze trends over time. Primary operating capital was $1,032.6 million (yielding a primary operating capital percentage of 28.4%) at July 2, 2023, $1,057.0 million (yielding a primary operating capital percentage of 26.7%) at March 31, 2023 and $1,131.5 million at July 3, 2022 (yielding a primary operating capital percentage of 31.5%). The primary operating capital percentage of 28.4% at July 2, 2023 worsened by 170 basis points compared to March 31, 2023 and improved 310 basis points compared to July 3, 2022. The increase in primary operating capital percentage at July 2, 2023 compared to March 31, 2023 was primarily due to a reduction in sales compared to the fourth fiscal quarter of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in primary operating capital percentage at July 2, 2023 compared to July 3, 2022 was primarily from the sale of $150.0 million in accounts receivables through a Receivables Purchase Agreement (RPA) entered into during the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
Primary operating capital and primary operating capital percentages at July 2, 2023, March 31, 2023 and July 3, 2022 are computed as follows:

($ in Millions) |  | July 2, 2023 |  | March 31, 2023 |  | July 3, 2022
Accounts receivable, net |  | $ | 566.5 |  |  | $ | 637.8 |  |  | $ | 697.1 |

Total primary operating capital |  | $ | 1,032.6 |  |  | $ | 1,057.0 |  |  | $ | 1,131.5 |
Trailing 3 months net sales |  | $ | 908.6 |  |  | $ | 989.9 |  |  | $ | 899.0 |
Trailing 3 months net sales annualized |  | $ | 3,634.4 |  |  | $ | 3,959.6 |  |  | $ | 3,595.9 |
Primary operating capital as a % of annualized net sales |  | 28.4 | % |  | 26.7 | % |  | 31.5 | %

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our financial position is strong, and we have substantial liquidity to cover short-term liquidity requirements and anticipated growth in the foreseeable future, with $258 million of available cash and cash equivalents and available and undrawn committed credit lines of approximately $733 million at July 2, 2023, availability subject to credit agreement financial covenants.
A substantial majority of the Company’s cash and investments are held by foreign subsidiaries and are considered to be indefinitely reinvested and expected to be utilized to fund local operating activities, capital expenditure requirements and acquisitions. The Company believes that it has sufficient sources of domestic and foreign liquidity.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we entered into a second amendment to the Amended Credit Facility (as amended, the “Second Amended Credit Facility”). As a result, the Second Amended Credit Facility, now scheduled to mature on September 30, 2026, consists of a $130.0 million senior secured term loan (the “Second Amended Term Loan”), a CAD 106.4 million ($84.2 million) term loan and an $850.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Second Amended Revolver”). This amendment resulted in a decrease of the Amended Term Loan by $150.0 million and an increase of the Amended Revolver by $150.0 million.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company entered into a third amendment to the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Third Amended Credit Facility”). The Third Amended Credit Facility provided new incremental delayed-draw senior secured term loan up to $300 million (the “Third Amended Term Loan”), which was available to draw until March 15, 2023. During the fourth quarter, the Company drew $300 million in the form of the Third Amended Term Loan. The funds will mature on September 30, 2026, the same as the Company's Second Amended Term loan and Second Amended Revolver. In connection with the agreement, the Company incurred $1.2 million in third party administrative and legal fees recognized in interest expense and capitalized $1.1 million in charges from existing lenders as a deferred asset. Additionally, the Company derecognized the capitalized deferred asset and recognized the $1.1 million as deferred financing costs.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Fourth Amended Credit Facility”). The Fourth Amended Credit Facility replaces the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) in the calculation of interest for both the Second Amended Revolver and the Second Amended Term Loan.
We believe that our strong capital structure and liquidity affords us access to capital for future acquisitions, stock repurchase opportunities and continued dividend payments.
Results of Operations
Net Sales
Net sales increased $9.6 million or 1.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023. This increase was the result of an 9% increase in pricing offset by an 8% decrease in organic growth.

Net sales of our Energy Systems segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 increased $16.0 million or 3.9% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023. This increase was due to a 12% increase in pricing/mix partially offset by a 7% decrease in organic growth and a 1% decrease in foreign currency translation impact. This increase in sales was driven by improvement in pricing partially offset by soft volumes in Europe and Asia.
Net sales of our Motive Power segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 decreased by $17.1 million or 4.6% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023. This decrease was primarily due to a 14% decrease in organic growth partially offset by an 8% increase in pricing/mix and a 1% increase from an acquisition. We continue to benefit from improved pricing and favorable sales mix, partially offset by a return to normal sales patterns to pre-COVID-19 levels.
Net sales of our Specialty segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 increased by $10.7 million or 8.7% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The increase was primarily due to a 7% increase in pricing/mix and a 1% increase in both organic volume and foreign currency translation. This increase in net sales was primarily driven by improved pricing/mix and strong demand in primarily the transportation sector, limited by TPPL capacity in our Missouri plants.

Exit Charges
Fiscal 2023 Program s
Sylmar
In November 2022, the Company committed to a plan to close its facility in Sylmar, California, which manufactures specialty lithium batteries for aerospace and medical applications. Management determined to close the site upon the expiration of its lease on the property and to redirect production through consolidation into existing locations. The Company currently estimates total charges in the exit to amount to $9.5 million. Cash charges are estimated to total $5.7 million primarily relating to severance and other costs to leave the site. Non-cash charges are estimated to be $3.8 million relating to fixed assets, inventory, and contract assets. The plan is expected to be completed in fiscal 2024.

Table of Contents
During fiscal 2023, the Company recorded $1.7 million primarily related to severance costs and non-cash charges totaling $0.4 million primarily relating to contract assets.
During the current quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded cash charges of $4.0 million primarily related to severance costs, relocation expenses, and manufacturing variances and non-cash charges totaling $0.3 million. The Company also recorded a non-cash write off relating to inventories of $3.1 million, which was reported in cost of goods sold.
Ooltewah
On June 29, 2022, the Company committed to a plan to close its facility in Ooltewah, Tennessee, which produced flooded motive power batteries for electric forklifts. Management determined that future demand for traditional motive power flooded cells will decrease as customers transition to maintenance free product solutions in lithium and TPPL. The Company currently estimates that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $18.5 million. Cash charges for employee severance related payments, cleanup related to the facility, contractual releases and legal expenses are estimated to be $9.2 million and non-cash charges from inventory and fixed asset write-offs are estimated to be $9.3 million. These actions will result in the reduction of approximately 165 employees. The plan is expected to be completed in calendar 2023.
During fiscal 2023, the Company recorded cash charges relating primarily to severance and manufacturing variances of $2.8 million and non-cash charges of $7.3 million relating to fixed asset write-offs.

During the current quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded cash charges relating to site clean up and decommissioning equipment of $0.9 million.
Fiscal 2021 Programs
Hagen, Germany
In fiscal 2021, we committed to a plan to close substantially all of our facility in Hagen, Germany, which produced flooded motive power batteries for electric forklifts. Management determined that future demand for the motive power batteries produced at this facility was not sufficient, given the conversion from flooded to maintenance free batteries by customers, the existing number of competitors in the market, as well as the near term decline in demand and increased uncertainty from the pandemic. We plan to retain the facility with limited sales, service and administrative functions along with related personnel for the foreseeable future.
We currently estimate that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $60.0 million of which cash charges for employee severance related payments, cleanup related to the facility, contractual releases and legal expenses were estimated to be $40.0 million and non-cash charges from inventory and equipment write-offs were estimated to be $20.0 million. The majority of these charges have been recorded as of October 2, 2022. These actions resulted in the reduction of approximately 200 employees.
During fiscal 2021, the Company recorded cash charges relating to severance of $23.3 million and non-cash charges of $7.9 million primarily relating to fixed asset write-offs.
During fiscal 2022, the Company recorded cash charges, primarily relating to severance of $8.1 million and non-cash charges of $3.5 million primarily relating to fixed asset write-offs. The Company also recorded a non-cash write off relating to inventories of $1.0 million, which was reported in cost of goods sold.
During fiscal 2023, the Company recorded cash charges of $2.2 million relating primarily to site cleanup and $0.6 million of non-cash charges relating to accelerated depreciation of fixed assets.
During the current quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded cash charges of $0.5 million relating primarily to site cleanup and $0.1 million of non-cash charges relating to accelerated depreciation of fixed assets.

The Company’s income tax provision consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provision for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023 was based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods. Our effective income tax rate with respect to any period may be volatile based on the mix of income in the tax jurisdictions, in which we operate, changes in tax laws and the amount of our consolidated earnings before taxes.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was enacted. The IRA includes multiple incentives to promote clean energy, and energy storage manufacturing among other provisions with tax credits available from 2023 to 2032, subject to phase down beginning in 2030. In particular the IRA creates a refundable tax credit, pursuant to Section 45X of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), for battery cells and battery modules manufactured or assembled in the United States and sold to third parties. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the IRA impact resulted in a reduction of our costs of goods sold and income tax payable. There is a possibility that additional clarification guidance is issued with respect to the Section 45X credit qualifications. Amounts recognized in the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements are based on Management's judgement and best estimate utilizing the most current guidance. The Company will continue to evaluate the effects of IRA as more guidance is issued and the relevant implications to our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from management’s current estimate.
The consolidated effective income tax rates for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023 were 9.2% and 15.7%, respectively. The rate decrease in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the prior year period is primarily due to the impact of the IRA. In addition, there was a discrete foreign exchange tax benefit related to undistributed earnings which was offset by the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions.
Foreign income as a percentage of worldwide income is estimated to be 51% for fiscal 2024 compared to 77% for fiscal 2023. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of the IRA. The foreign effective tax rates for the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and 2023 were 12.0% and 11.0%, respectively. Income from the Company's Swiss subsidiary comprised a substantial portion of the Company's overall foreign mix of income for both fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 and were taxed at an effective income tax rate of approximately 8% and 9%, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flow and Financing Activities
Operating activities provided cash of $74.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to $71.9 million of cash used in the first quarter of fiscal 2023, with the increase in operating cash resulting mainly due to net earnings and activity in accounts receivable, inventory, and accounts payable. Accounts receivable decreased or provided cash of $73.2 million due to lower sales in the current quarter compared to the previous quarter. Inventory increased or used cash of $11.0 million due to lower inventory turns as compared to the previous quarter. Accounts payable decreased or used cash of $39.3 million due to seasonal reduction.

Financing activities used cash of $135.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, we borrowed $80.0 million under the Second Amended Revolver and repaid $216.4 million of the Second Amended Revolver.

Currency translation had a negative impact of $3.0 million on our cash balance in the first quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the negative impact of $22.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, principal currencies in which we do business such as the Euro, Polish zloty, Swiss Franc and British pound generally strengthened versus the U.S. dollar.

Compliance with Debt Covenants
During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, we entered into a second amendment to the Amended Credit Facility (as amended, the “Second Amended Credit Facility”). As a result, the Second Amended Credit Facility, now scheduled to mature on September 30, 2026, consists of a $130.0 million senior secured term loan (the “Second Amended Term Loan”), a CAD 106.4 million ($84.2 million) term loan and an $850.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Second Amended Revolver”). This amendment resulted in a decrease of the Amended Term Loan by $150.0 million and an increase of the Amended Revolver by $150.0 million.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company entered into a third amendment to the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Third Amended Credit Facility”). The Third Amended Credit Facility provided new incremental delayed-draw senior secured term loan up to $300 million (the “Third Amended Term Loan”), which was available to draw until March 15, 2023. During the fourth quarter, the Company drew $300 million in the form of the Third Amended Term Loan. The funds will mature on September 30, 2026, the same as the Company's Second Amended Term loan and Second Amended Revolver. In connection with the agreement, the Company incurred $1.2 million in third party administrative and legal fees recognized in interest expense and capitalized $1.1 million in charges from existing lenders as a deferred asset. Additionally, the Company derecognized the capitalized deferred asset and recognized the $1.1 million as deferred financing costs.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the 2017 Credit Facility (as amended, the “Fourth Amended Credit Facility”). The Fourth Amended Credit Facility replaces the London Interbank Offered Rate

(“LIBOR”) with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) in the calculation of interest for both the Second Amended Revolver and the Second Amended Term Loan.
All obligations under our Fourth Amended Credit Facility are secured by, among other things, substantially all of our U.S. assets. The Fourth Amended Credit Facility contains various covenants which, absent prepayment in full of the indebtedness and other obligations, or the receipt of waivers, limit our ability to conduct certain specified business transactions, buy or sell assets out of the ordinary course of business, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, pay dividends and take certain other actions. There are no prepayment penalties on loans under this credit facility.
We are in compliance with all covenants and conditions under our Fourth Amended Credit Facility and Senior Notes. We believe that we will continue to comply with these covenants and conditions, and that we have the financial resources and the capital available to fund the foreseeable organic growth in our business and to remain active in pursuing further acquisition opportunities. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2023 Annual Report and Note 11 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a detailed description of our debt.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
A table of our obligations is contained in Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Contractual Obligations of our 2023 Annual Report. As of July 2, 2023, we had no significant changes to our contractual obligations table contained in our 2023 Annual Report.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risks
Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in raw material costs, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We manage our exposure to these market risks through internally established policies and procedures and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Our policy does not allow speculation in derivative instruments for profit or execution of derivative instrument contracts for which there are no underlying exposures. We do not use financial instruments for trading purposes and are not a party to any leveraged derivatives. We monitor our underlying market risk exposures on an ongoing basis and believe that we can modify or adapt our hedging strategies as needed.
Counterparty Risks
We have entered into lead forward purchase contracts, foreign exchange forward and purchased option contracts, interest rate swaps, and cross currency fixed interest rate swaps to manage the risk associated with our exposures to fluctuations resulting from changes in raw material costs, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company’s agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions. Those contracts that result in a liability position at July 2, 2023 are $20.4 million (pre-tax). Those contracts that result in an asset position at July 2, 2023 are $5.0 million (pre-tax). The impact on the Company due to nonperformance by the counterparties has been evaluated and not deemed material.
We hedge our net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and Euro. On September 29, 2022, we terminated our cross-currency fixed interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $300 million and executed cross-currency fixed interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $150 million, maturing on December 15, 2027. Depending on the movement in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and Euro at maturity, the Company may owe the counterparties an amount that is different from the notional amount of $150 million.
Excluding our cross currency fixed interest rate swap agreements, the vast majority of these contracts will settle within one year.
Interest Rate Risks
We are exposed to changes in variable U.S. interest rates on borrowings under our credit agreements as well as short-term borrowings in our foreign subsidiaries.
36

Table of Contents
A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased annual interest expense, by approximately $4.5 million on the variable rate portions of our debt.
Commodity Cost Risks – Lead Contracts
We have a significant risk in our exposure to certain raw materials. Our largest single raw material cost is for lead, for which the cost remains volatile. In order to hedge against increases in our lead cost, we have entered into forward contracts with financial institutions to fix the price of lead. A vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. We had the following contracts outstanding at the dates shown below:

Date |  | $’s Under Contract (in millions) |  | # Pounds Purchased (in millions) |  | Average Cost/Pound |  | Approximate % of Lead Requirements (1)
July 2, 2023 |  | $ | 52.1 |  |  | 55.0 |  |  | $ | 0.95 |  |  | 9 | %
March 31, 2023 |  | 47.9 |  |  | 50.0 |  |  | 0.96 |  |  | 8 |
July 3, 2022 |  | 54.1 |  |  | 55.5 |  |  | 0.97 |  |  | 8 |

(1) Based on the fiscal year lead requirements for the periods then ended.
For the remaining quarters of this fiscal year, we believe approximately 46% of the cost of our lead requirements is known. This takes into account the hedge contracts in place at July 2, 2023, lead purchased by July 2, 2023 that will be reflected in future costs under our FIFO accounting policy, and the benefit from our lead tolling program.
We estimate that a 10% increase in our cost of lead would have increased our cost of goods sold by approximately $19 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks
We manufacture and assemble our products globally in the Americas, EMEA and Asia. Approximately 40% of our sales and related expenses are transacted in foreign currencies. Our sales revenue, production costs, profit margins and competitive position are affected by the strength of the currencies in countries where we manufacture or purchase goods relative to the strength of the currencies in countries where our products are sold. Additionally, as we report our financial statements in U.S. dollars, our financial results are affected by the strength of the currencies in countries where we have operations relative to the strength of the U.S. dollar. The principal foreign currencies in which we conduct business are the Euro, Swiss franc, British pound, Polish zloty, Chinese renminbi, Canadian dollar, Brazilian real and Mexican peso.
We quantify and monitor our global foreign currency exposures. Our largest foreign currency exposure is from the purchase and conversion of U.S. dollar based lead costs into local currencies in Europe. Additionally, we have currency exposures from intercompany financing and intercompany and third party trade transactions. On a selective basis, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and purchase option contracts to reduce the impact from the volatility of currency movements; however, we cannot be certain that foreign currency fluctuations will not impact our operations in the future.
We hedge approximately 5% - 10% of the nominal amount of our known foreign exchange transactional exposures. We primarily enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the earnings and cash flow impact of the variation of non-functional currency denominated receivables and payables. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year.
Gains and losses resulting from hedging instruments offset the foreign exchange gains or losses on the underlying assets and liabilities being hedged. The maturities of the forward exchange contracts generally coincide with the settlement dates of the related transactions. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in the same period as gains and losses on the hedged items. We also selectively hedge anticipated transactions that are subject to foreign exchange exposure, primarily with foreign currency exchange contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with Topic 815 - Derivatives and Hedging. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, we also entered into cross-currency fixed interest rate swap agreements, to hedge our net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and Euro.
At July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, we estimate that an unfavorable 10% movement in the exchange rates would have adversely changed our hedge valuations by approximately $27.7 million and $36.7 million, respectively.
