READING, Pa., June 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EnerSys (NYSE: ENS), the
world's largest manufacturer, marketer and distributor of industrial
batteries, announced today its fourth fiscal quarter of 2005, basic and
diluted net earnings per share of $0.22 and its fiscal 2005 year pro forma
basic and diluted net earnings per share of $0.83 and $0.82, respectively.
These fourth quarter results are at the top of the $0.20 to $0.22 diluted net
earnings per share preliminary results provided on April 25, 2005. Our pro
forma adjustments primarily relate to the effect of our IPO, the elimination
of our special charges and the elimination of our non-cash Series A
convertible stock dividend.
Pro forma net earnings for our fourth quarter of 2005 were $10.2 million
or $0.22 per share basic and diluted (which are identical to our historical
fourth quarter results discussed below), compared to pro forma net earnings of
$11.9 million, or $0.26 per share basic and diluted in the prior year. Pro
forma net earnings for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005, were $38.2
million or $0.83 per share basic and $0.82 per share diluted, compared to pro
forma net earnings of $36.2 million or $0.79 per share basic and $0.78 per
share diluted in the prior year.
Net earnings for our fourth fiscal quarter of 2005 were $10.2 million, or
$0.22 per share basic and diluted, compared to net earnings of $0.8 million
and net loss available to common shareholders of $6.7 million, or a $0.61 loss
per share basic and diluted, in the prior year's fourth quarter. Net earnings
for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2005 were $32.4 million and net earnings
available to common shareholders were $24.2 million or $0.67 per share basic
and $0.65 per share diluted, compared to net earnings of $4.8 million and a
net loss of $19.9 million available to common shareholders, or a $1.80 loss
per share basic and diluted in the prior fiscal year.
Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 were $285.6 million
compared to $275.4 million in our prior year fourth quarter, or an increase of
3.7%. Our fourth quarter of fiscal 2005 contained four fewer days than the
fourth quarter in the prior year, which reduced fiscal 2005 net sales by
approximately $19 million or 7%. Excluding the favorable impact of foreign
currency translation (primarily from the Euro), our fourth quarter of fiscal
2005 net sales increased approximately 1%. Net sales for the fiscal 2005 year
were $1,083.9 million compared to $969.1 million in our prior year, or an
increase of 11.8%. Excluding the impact of favorable foreign currency
translation (primarily from the Euro), our full year fiscal 2005 net sales
increased approximately 8%.

segments, compared to the fiscal 2004 fourth quarter are as follows (in
millions).

"I am particularly pleased with our solid earnings results for both our
fourth fiscal quarter of 2005 and for the full year, when considering the
significant increase in commodity costs," stated John D. Craig, chairman,
president and chief executive officer. "Our fourth quarter diluted net
earnings per share of $0.22 were at the top of our previous guidance, as sales
continue to expand, our global manufacturing facilities performed cost
effectively and costs continue to be reduced through our savings initiatives.
We anticipate that our fiscal 2006 first quarter diluted net earnings per
share will be between $0.18 and $0.22," said Craig.
This press release contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995), which are based on
management's current expectations and are subject to uncertainties and changes
in circumstances. Our actual results may differ materially from the
forward-looking statements for a number of reasons. For a list of the factors,
which could affect our results, including our earnings estimates, see "Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations," including "Forward-Looking Statements," set forth in our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the third fiscal quarter ended January 2,
2005, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
This press release contains pro forma earnings per share data determined
by methods other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles ("GAAP"). EnerSys' management uses the non-GAAP measures in their
analysis of the company's performance. As described in the footnotes to the
tables and the reconciliation provided below, these measures, as used by
EnerSys, adjust net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP to exclude the
effects of special items, including significant gains or losses that are
unusual in nature or were associated with our IPO, and certain non-cash
charges. Management believes presentations of financial measures excluding the
impact of these items provide useful supplemental information in evaluating
the operating results of our business. These disclosures should not be viewed
as a substitute for net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are
they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be
presented by other companies.
