As disclosed in the 2026 Annual Report, the Company committed to restructuring plans aimed at improving operational efficiencies across its lines of business.

On July 22, 2025, the Company announced a reduction in force plan (the "Plan") as part of the Company's strategic restructuring plan under its new leadership to better align resources with current business priorities and long-term objectives. The Plan is expected to reduce non-production global workforce by approximately 11%, or approximately 575 employees, and is focused primarily on corporate and management positions. The Company recorded $21,651 in costs relating to the Plan consisting of severance payments, notice period payments in applicable jurisdictions, employee benefits and related costs. The Plan was substantially completed as of March 31, 2026.

Fiscal 2026 Programs

Tijuana

On March 25, 2026, EnerSys announced a plan to close its facility in Tijuana, Mexico, which focused on manufacturing legacy lead acid batteries. Management determined that the closure was appropriate as part of its efforts to optimize its cost structure, maximize near-term advanced manufacturing production tax benefits, and mitigate future risks associated with potential tariffs while reinforcing EnerSys’ commitment to strengthening domestic industrial capacity and supply chain resilience. In connection with this restructuring plan, which is estimated to be substantially complete by December 2027, EnerSys plans to sell the land and buildings and possibly the plant and equipment to other parties. In addition, EnerSys estimates that there will be a reduction of approximately 474 employees upon completion. EnerSys expects to incur a pre-tax charge of approximately $37 million under this restructuring plan when completed, the majority of which is expected to be incurred by the second half of fiscal year 2027, of which $14 million is expected to be non-cash charges primarily from accelerated depreciation. Cash charges of approximately $23 million, include severance and employee retention costs, environmental related expenses and equipment decommissioning, along with contractual releases and legal expenses.

During fiscal 2026, the Company recorded $10,969 in severance costs.

During fiscal 2027, the Company recorded $237 in retention costs and $3,284 in accelerated depreciation of fixed assets.

Sao Paulo

On March 25, 2026, EnerSys announced a plan to close its facility in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Management continually evaluates the Company's footprint and decided to exit this facility that operated under NIS and IMS segments due to the challenging local economic environment. In connection with this closure, which is estimated to be substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2027, the Company estimates there will be a reduction of approximately 141 employees. EnerSys expects to incur a pre-tax charge of approximately $7,500 under this restructuring plan, of which includes cash charges of approximately $4,500, primarily related to severance and employee retention costs, and other cash and non-cash items.

During fiscal 2026, the Company recorded $2,984 in cash charges relating to severance and contract termination costs and $1,767 in non cash charges relating to right of use and fixed asset impairments.

During fiscal 2027, the Company recorded a $2,369 in additional contract termination costs.

Monterrey

On April 1, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to close its facility in Monterrey, Mexico, which focused on manufacturing flooded IMS batteries. Management determined that future demand for traditional IMS flooded cells will decrease as customers transition to maintenance free product solutions in lithium and Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL). Production of products being manufactured in Monterrey, Mexico will be moved to EnerSys’ existing facility in Richmond, Kentucky. The Company expects to incur a pre-tax charge of approximately $13,700 under this restructuring plan when completed, the majority of which was recorded by the end of the 2026 fiscal year, of which $1,500 is expected to be a non-cash charge from fixed asset and inventory charges. Cash charges of approximately $12,200, include severance and employee retention costs, environmental related expenses and equipment decommissioning, along with contractual releases and legal expenses.

During fiscal 2026, the Company recorded cash charges totaling $5,182 primarily relating to severance costs and unusual manufacturing variances of $2,268

During fiscal 2027, the Company recorded $664 in site cleanup and decommissioning equipment and losses on disposal of assets of $2,464.

Fiscal 2023 Programs
Ooltewah

On June 29, 2022, the Company committed to a plan to close its facility in Ooltewah, Tennessee, which produced flooded IMS batteries for electric forklifts. Management determined that future demand for traditional IMS 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 was completed as of the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

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 fiscal 2025, the Company recorded $474 cash charges relating to site cleanup.

During fiscal 2026, the Company recorded a $1,142 gain of the sale of the building.

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 IMS batteries for electric forklifts. Management determined that future demand for the IMS 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.

These actions resulted in the reduction of approximately 200 employees. This program is considered substantially complete as of the end of fiscal 2026.

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 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.
