NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements of EnerSys (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 the information and notes required for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K (SEC File No. 001-32253), which was filed on May 28, 2013.

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 2014 end on June 30, 2013, September 29, 2013, December 29, 2013, and March 31, 2014, respectively. The four quarters in fiscal 2013 ended on July 1, 2012, September 30, 2012, December 30, 2012, and March 31, 2013, 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.

The Company also consolidates certain subsidiaries in which the noncontrolling interest party has within its control the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of its interest in the subsidiary. The redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported at their estimated redemption value, and the amount presented in temporary equity is not less than the initial amount reported in temporary equity. Any adjustment to the redemption value impacts retained earnings but does not impact net income or comprehensive income. Noncontrolling interests which are redeemable only upon future events, the occurrence of which is not currently probable, are recorded at carrying value.

Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation for non-cash write-off of assets relating to restructuring.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) finalized the disclosure requirements on how entities should present

financial information about reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU No. 2013-02,

“Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." The standard

requires that companies present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant

amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement line

items affected by the reclassification. If a component is not required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety, companies would instead

cross-reference to the related footnote for additional information. The Company adopted ASU No. 2013-02 as of April 1, 2013, and the

adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated condensed financial statements.

2. Acquisitions

During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company completed the following acquisitions in the Americas, using both cash on hand and borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility.

On October 8, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Purcell Systems Inc., a designer, manufacturer and marketer of thermally managed electronic equipment and battery cabinet enclosures, headquartered in Spokane, Washington, for $119,540, net of cash acquired. The Company acquired tangible and intangible assets, including trademarks, technology, customer relationships and goodwill. Based on preliminary valuations performed, trademarks were valued at $15,000, technology at $5,000, customer relationships at $25,000, and goodwill was recorded at $68,818.

On November 1, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of Quallion, LLC, a manufacturer of lithium ion cells and batteries for medical devices, defense, aviation and space, headquartered in Sylmer, California, for $25,800, net of cash acquired. The Company acquired tangible and intangible assets, in connection with the acquisition, including trademarks, technology, customer relationships and goodwill. Based on preliminary valuations performed, trademarks were valued at $2,000, technology at $3,000, customer relationships at $4,000, and goodwill was recorded at $11,367.

The Company made an initial allocation of the purchase price to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated respective fair values as of the date of acquisition. The valuation of these tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities is preliminary, subject to completion of a formal valuation process and further management review, and may be retrospectively adjusted, if necessary, as additional information becomes available. The fair valuation estimates particularly subject to change are those relating to accounts receivable and identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been allocated to goodwill. The Company expects to finalize the valuations and complete the purchase price allocations by 2014 fiscal year-end.

Total	$	360,839	$	353,941

4. Goodwill Impairment Charge

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances that indicate goodwill is more likely than not impaired. During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company determined that the fair value of its subsidiary in India, which was acquired in fiscal 2012, was less than its carrying amount based on the Company's analysis of the estimated future expected cash flows the Company anticipates from the operations of this subsidiary. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $5,179 for goodwill impairment relating to this subsidiary.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment are as follows:



	Nine months ended December 29, 2013

Balance at December 29, 2013	$	176,856	$	228,690		$	23,938		$	429,484

5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses the following valuation techniques to measure fair value for its financial assets and financial liabilities:



Level 1		Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2		Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3		Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.

The following tables represent the financial assets and (liabilities), measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 29, 2013 and March 31, 2013 and the basis for that measurement:



	Total Fair Value Measurement December 29, 2013		Quoted Price in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Lead forward contracts	$	3,151	$	—	$	3,151	$	—
Foreign currency forward contracts	320		—		320		—
Total derivatives	$	3,471	$	—	$	3,471	$	—

Table of Contents



	Total Fair Value Measurement March 31, 2013			Quoted Price in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Interest rate swap agreements	$	(654	)	$	—	$	(654	)	$	—
Lead forward contracts	(2,832		)	—		(2,832		)	—
Foreign currency forward contracts	(11		)	—		(11		)	—
Total derivatives	$	(3,497	)	$	—	$	(3,497	)	$	—

The fair values of interest rate swap agreements are based on observable prices as quoted for receiving the variable three month LIBOR and paying fixed interest rates and, therefore, were classified as Level 2. At December 29, 2013, the Company had no interest rate swap agreements.

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.

The fair values for foreign currency forward contracts 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.

Financial Instruments

The fair values of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate carrying value due to their short maturities.

The fair value of the Company’s short-term debt approximates its carrying value, as it is variable rate debt and the terms are comparable to market terms as of the balance sheet dates and is classified as Level 2.

The Company’s senior 3.375% convertible notes (“Convertible Notes”), with a face value of $172,500, were issued when the Company’s stock price was trading at $30.19 per share. On December 29, 2013, the Company’s stock price closed at $70.09 per share. The Convertible Notes have a conversion option of $40.33 per share which equates to 24.7953 shares of the Company's common stock per one thousand dollars in principal amount of the Convertible Notes as of January 2, 2014, the date when the the holders were notified that they can submit the Convertible Notes for conversion. The conversion rate may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes and the indenture under which the Convertible Notes were issued. The fair value of these notes represent the trading values based upon quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2. The Convertible Notes were trading at 177% of face value on December 29, 2013, and 126% of face value on March 31, 2013. See Note 11 for further details.

The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s derivatives and Convertible Notes at December 29, 2013 and March 31, 2013 were as follows:



	December 29, 2013						March 31, 2013

(3)	The fair value amounts of the Convertible Notes at December 29, 2013 and March 31, 2013 represent the trading values of the Convertible Notes with a principal value of $172,500.

6. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates, 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 Hedge Forward Contracts

The Company enters into lead hedge forward contracts to fix the price for a portion of its lead purchases. Management considers the lead hedge 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 and the notional amounts at December 29, 2013 and March 31, 2013 were 64.2 million pounds and 56.3 million pounds, respectively.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts 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 December 29, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company had entered into a total of $79,803 and $51,366, respectively, of such contracts.

In the coming twelve months, the Company anticipates that $4,017 of pretax gain relating to lead and foreign currency forward contracts will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) as part of cost of goods sold. This amount represents the current unrealized impact of hedging lead and foreign exchange rates, which will change as market rates change in the future, and will ultimately be realized in the income statement as an offset to the corresponding actual changes in lead costs to be realized in connection with the variable lead cost and foreign exchange rates being hedged.

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

As of March 31, 2013, the Company maintained interest rate swap agreements that converted $65,000 of variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, utilizing the three-month LIBOR, as a floating rate reference. These agreements expired during the first quarter ended June 30, 2013, and the Company had no interest rate swap agreements as of December 29, 2013. The Company recorded expense relating to changes in the fair value of these agreements in the consolidated condensed statements of income, within other (income) expense, net of $7 and $99 during the third quarter and nine months ended December 30, 2012, respectively.

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 December 29, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the notional amount of these contracts was $23,205 and $21,749, respectively. The Company recorded income in the consolidated condensed statements of income within other (income) expense, net of $124 and $2,058 during the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively, and expense of $56 and income of $1,640 for the nine months ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively.

7. Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax provisions consist of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provisions for the third quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013 were based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods.

The effective income tax rates for the third quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013 were (13.5)% and 28.2%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 and 2013 were 15.5% and 28.5%, respectively. The rate decrease in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the prior year periods is primarily due to the reversal of a previously recognized deferred tax valuation allowance related to one of the Company's foreign subsidiaries of $24,925 and changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. The valuation allowance release is the result of an operational restructuring approved during the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

9. Commitments, Contingencies and Litigation

Litigation and Other Legal Matters

The Company is involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of its business, the results of which, in the opinion of management, are not likely to be material to the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes since March 31, 2013.

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 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. See Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full description of environmental issues. There have been no significant changes since March 31, 2013.

Lead Contracts

To stabilize its costs, the Company has entered into contracts with financial institutions to fix the price of lead. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. Under these contracts, at December 29, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company has hedged the price to purchase 64.2 million pounds and 56.3 million pounds of lead, respectively, for a total purchase price of $61,903 and $56,601, respectively.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company quantifies and monitors its global foreign currency exposures. On a selective basis, the Company will enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to reduce the volatility from currency movements that affect the Company. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. The Company’s largest exposure is from the purchase and conversion of U.S. dollar based lead costs into local currencies in EMEA. Additionally, the Company has currency exposures from intercompany and third party trade transactions. To hedge these exposures, the Company has entered into a total of $103,008 and $73,115, respectively, of foreign currency forward contracts with financial institutions as of December 29, 2013 and March 31, 2013.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company is exposed to changes in variable U.S. interest rates on borrowings under its 2011 Credit Facility. On a selective basis, from time to time, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the negative impact that increases in interest rates could have on its outstanding variable rate debt. These agreements expired during the first quarter ended June 30, 2013 and the Company had no interest rate swap agreements at December 29, 2013. At March 31, 2013, such agreements converted $65,000 of variable-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis, utilizing the three-month LIBOR, as a floating rate reference. Fluctuations in LIBOR and fixed rates affect both the Company’s net financial investment position and the amount of cash to be paid or received under these agreements.

3.375% Convertible Notes

The Convertible Notes will mature on June 1, 2038, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. Prior to maturity, the holders may convert their Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time after March 1, 2015 or prior to that date under certain circumstances. When issued, the initial conversion rate was 24.6305 shares per one thousand dollars in principal amount of Convertible Notes, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of $40.60 per share. The conversion rate as of January 2, 2014, the date when the the holders were notified that they can submit the Convertible Notes for conversion was 24.7953 shares of the Company's common stock per one thousand dollars in principal amount of the Convertible Notes due to the cumulative impact of cash dividends paid on the Company's common stock. The conversion price is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. It is the Company’s current intent to settle the principal amount of any conversions in cash, and any additional conversion consideration in cash, shares of EnerSys common stock or a combination of cash and shares.

Holders may convert their Convertible Notes prior to March 1, 2015, at the option of the holder, under the following circumstances: (i) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price (as defined in the indenture for the Convertible Notes) of a share of EnerSys common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price in effect for the Convertible Notes on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, (ii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, or (iii) during the five business-day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the “trading price” (as defined in the indenture for the Convertible Notes) of the Convertible Notes for each day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the “last reported sale price” (as defined in the indenture for the Convertible Notes) of a share of EnerSys common stock and the applicable conversion rate on such day.

At December 31, 2013, the closing price of the Company's common stock exceeded 130% of the conversion price for more than 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending December 31, 2013, thereby satisfying one of the early conversion events and as a result, the Convertible Notes became convertible on demand, and the holders were notified that they can elect to submit the Convertible Notes for conversion, between the notification date of January 2, 2014 and March 31, 2014. The carrying value of the Convertible Notes of $160,923 continues to be reported as long-term debt on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of December 29, 2013 as the Company intends to draw on the $350,000, 2011 Credit Facility to settle the principal amount of any such conversions in cash. No gain or loss was recognized when the debt became convertible. The estimated fair value of the Convertible Notes was approximately $305,325 as of December 29, 2013.

This optional conversion period is reset each quarter and the Company will reassess on the last day of each calendar quarter.

In addition, upon becoming convertible, a portion of the equity component that was recorded upon the issuance of the Convertible Notes was considered redeemable and that portion of the equity was reclassified to temporary equity in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. Such amount was determined based on the cash considerations to be paid upon conversion and the carrying amount of the debt. As the holders of the Convertible Notes will be paid in cash for the principal amount and issued shares or a combination of cash and shares for the remaining value of the Convertible Notes, the reclassification into temporary equity as of December 29, 2013 was $11,577 based on the Convertible Notes principal of $172,500 and the carrying value of $160,923. If a conversion event takes place in the following quarter, this temporary equity balance will be recalculated based on the difference between the Convertible Notes principal and the debt carrying value. If the Convertible Notes are settled during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, an amount equal to the fair value of the liability component immediately prior to the settlement will be deducted from the fair value of the total settlement consideration transferred and allocated to the liability component. Any difference between the amount allocated to the liability and the net carrying amount of the Convertible Notes (including any unamortized debt issue costs and discount) will be recognized in earnings as a gain or loss on debt extinguishment. Any remaining consideration is allocated to the reacquisition of the equity component and will be recognized as a reduction of EnerSys stockholders’ equity.

The Convertible Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equally in right of payment to all of its other senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment with all indebtedness that is contractually subordinated to the notes. The Convertible Notes will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future claims of the Company's (including subsidiaries) creditors, including trade creditors, and will be effectively subordinated to any of our secured indebtedness (including capital leases) to the extent of the value of our assets that secure such indebtedness.

Balance as of December 29, 2013	$	7,279

During the current quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company recorded an increase to redeemable noncontrolling interests of $4,229 to reflect the estimated redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests. Any adjustment to the redemption value impacts retained earnings but does not impact net income. The Company thereafter negotiated with the redeemable noncontrolling interest shareholders to acquire all of their redeemable noncontrolling interest shares of $3,146 for $6,012. The difference between the amount paid and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest was recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and the noncontrolling interest was eliminated as of December 29, 2013.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”) provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of EnerSys. EnerSys and its representatives may, from time to time, make written or verbal forward-looking statements, including statements contained in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and its reports to stockholders. Generally, the inclusion of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “will,” and similar expressions identify statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that are intended to come within the safe harbor protection provided by those sections. All statements addressing operating performance, events, or developments that EnerSys expects or anticipates will occur in the future, including statements relating to sales growth, earnings or earnings per share growth, and market share, as well as statements expressing optimism or pessimism about future operating results, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act. The forward-looking statements are and will be based on management’s then-current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance, and are applicable only as of the dates of such statements.

Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Although we do not make forward-looking statements unless we believe we have a reasonable basis for doing so, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements due to a number of uncertainties and risks, including the risks described in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other unforeseen risks. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, even if subsequently made available on our website or otherwise, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise these statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements for a number of reasons, including the following factors:


•	general cyclical patterns of the industries in which our customers operate;


•	the extent to which we cannot control our fixed and variable costs;


•	the raw materials in our products may experience significant fluctuations in market price and availability;


•	certain raw materials constitute hazardous materials that may give rise to costly environmental and safety claims;


•	legislation regarding the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in our products;


•	risks involved in our operations such as disruption of markets, changes in import and export laws, environmental regulations, currency restrictions and currency exchange rate fluctuations;


•	our ability to raise our selling prices to our customers when our product costs increase;


•	the extent to which we are able to efficiently utilize our global manufacturing facilities and optimize our capacity;


•	general economic conditions in the markets in which we operate;


•	competitiveness of the battery markets throughout the world;


•	our timely development of competitive new products and product enhancements in a changing environment and the acceptance of such products and product enhancements by customers;


•	our ability to adequately protect our proprietary intellectual property, technology and brand names;


•	litigation and regulatory proceedings to which we might be subject;


•	changes in our market share in the geographic business segments where we operate;


•	our ability to implement our cost reduction initiatives successfully and improve our profitability;


•	quality problems associated with our products;


•	our ability to implement business strategies, including our acquisition strategy, manufacturing expansion and restructuring plans;


•	our acquisition strategy may not be successful in locating advantageous targets;


•	our ability to successfully integrate any assets, liabilities, customers, systems and management personnel we acquire into our operations and our ability to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames;


•	our debt and debt service requirements which may restrict our operational and financial flexibility, as well as imposing unfavorable interest and financing costs;


•	our ability to maintain our existing credit facilities or obtain satisfactory new credit facilities;


•	adverse changes in our short and long-term debt levels under our credit facilities;


•	our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable-rate debt;

Table of Contents


•	our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;


•	our ability to maintain good relations with labor unions;


•	credit risk associated with our customers, including risk of insolvency and bankruptcy;


•	our ability to successfully recover in the event of a disaster affecting our infrastructure;


•	terrorist acts or acts of war, could cause damage or disruption to our operations, our suppliers, channels to market or customers, or could cause costs to increase, or create political or economic instability; and


•	the operation, capacity and security of our information systems and infrastructure.

This list of factors that may affect future performance is illustrative, but by no means exhaustive. Accordingly, all forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty.

In the following discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition, certain financial measures may be considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under Securities and Exchange Commission rules. These rules require supplemental explanation and reconciliation, which is provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. EnerSys’ management uses the non-GAAP measures “primary working capital”, “primary working capital percentage” and capital expenditures in its evaluation of business segment cash flow and financial position performance. These disclosures have limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for cash flow determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Management believes that this non-GAAP supplemental information is helpful in understanding the Company’s ongoing operating results.

Overview

EnerSys (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) is the world’s largest manufacturer, marketer and distributor of industrial batteries. We also manufacture, market and distribute products such as battery chargers, power equipment, battery accessories, and outdoor equipment enclosure solutions. Additionally, we provide related aftermarket and customer-support services for our products. We market our products globally to over 10,000 customers in more than 100 countries through a network of distributors, independent representatives and our internal sales force.

We operate and manage our business in three geographic regions of the world—Americas, EMEA and Asia, as described below. Our business is highly decentralized with manufacturing locations throughout the world. More than half of our manufacturing capacity is located outside the United States, and approximately 60% of our net sales were generated outside the United States. The Company has three reportable business segments based on geographic regions, defined as follows:


•	Americas, which includes North and South America, with our segment headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA;


•	EMEA, which includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with our segment headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland; and


•	Asia, which includes Asia, Australia and Oceania, with our segment headquarters in Singapore.

We evaluate business segment performance based primarily upon operating earnings exclusive of highlighted items. Highlighted items are those that the Company deems are not indicative of ongoing operating results, including those charges that the Company incurs as a result of restructuring activities and those charges and credits that are not directly related to ongoing business segment performance. All corporate and centrally incurred costs are allocated to the business segments based principally on net sales. We evaluate business segment cash flow and financial position performance based primarily upon capital expenditures and primary working capital levels (see definition of primary working capital in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below). Although we monitor the three elements of primary working capital (receivables, inventory and payables), our primary focus is on the total amount due to the significant impact it has on our cash flow.

Our management structure, financial reporting systems, and associated internal controls and procedures, are all consistent with our three geographic business segments. We report on a March 31 fiscal year-end. Our financial results are largely driven by the following factors:


•	global economic conditions and general cyclical patterns of the industries in which our customers operate;


•	changes in our selling prices and, in periods when our product costs increase, our ability to raise our selling prices to pass such cost increases through to our customers;


•	the extent to which we are able to efficiently utilize our global manufacturing facilities and optimize our capacity;


•	the extent to which we can control our fixed and variable costs, including those for our raw materials, manufacturing, distribution and operating activities;


•	changes in our level of debt and changes in the variable interest rates under our credit facilities; and


•	the size and number of acquisitions and our ability to achieve their intended benefits.

Table of Contents

We have two primary industrial battery product lines: reserve power products and motive power products. Net sales classifications by product line are as follows:

•

Reserve power products are used for backup power for the continuous operation of critical applications in telecommunications systems, uninterruptible power systems, or “UPS” applications for computer and computer-controlled systems, and other specialty power applications, including security systems, premium starting, lighting and ignition applications, in switchgear, electrical control systems used in electric utilities, large-scale energy storage, energy pipelines, in commercial aircraft, satellites, military aircraft, submarines, ships and tactical vehicles.


•	Motive power products are used to provide power for manufacturing, warehousing and other material handling equipment, primarily electric industrial forklift trucks, mining equipment, diesel locomotive starting and other rail equipment.

During the current quarter, we completed the acquisition of Purcell Systems, Inc., a designer, manufacturer and marketer of thermally managed electronic equipment and battery cabinet enclosures, headquartered in Spokane, Washington. With the acquisition of Purcell Systems, Inc., we will be supplementing our reserve power products with thermally managed cabinets and enclosures for electronic equipment and batteries. We also completed the acquisition of Quallion LLC, a manufacturer of lithium ion cells and batteries for high integrity applications including implantable medical devices, defense, aviation and space, headquartered in Sylmar, California.

Economic Climate

Recent indicators continue to suggest a mixed trend in economic activity among the different geographical regions. The Americas economic activity continues to be strong. Our overall Asia region's economic growth is slowing but has been positively impacted by increased capital spending in telecommunications. The EMEA economy appears to have stabilized and should experience flat to moderate growth.

Volatility of Commodities and Foreign Currencies

Our most significant commodity and foreign currency exposures are related to lead and the euro. Historically, volatility of commodity costs and foreign currency exchange rates have caused large swings in our production costs. As the global economic climate changes, we anticipate that our commodity costs may continue to fluctuate as they have in the past several years. Overall, on a consolidated basis, we have experienced stable trends more recently in our revenue and order rates and commodity cost changes have not been substantial.

Customer Pricing

Our selling prices fluctuated during the last several years to offset the volatile cost of commodities. Approximately 35% of our revenue is currently subject to agreements that adjust pricing to a market-based index for lead. During the current quarter and nine months of fiscal 2014, our selling prices increased slightly, compared to the comparable prior year periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our capital structure and liquidity remain strong. As of December 29, 2013, we had $211.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and $349 million, undrawn and available under all our lines of credit including approximately $120 million of uncommitted credit lines. 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.

The Convertible Notes became convertible at the option of the holders effective January 2, 2014, as described in Note 11. If the Convertible Notes holders would exercise their conversion rights, we would pay the principal amount by drawing on our $350 million 2011 Credit Facility and, at our election, issue shares or pay cash for any remaining value.

Our leverage has increased in fiscal 2014 mainly due to increased acquisitions activity, initiation of quarterly dividend payments and continuation of our share repurchase program. We believe that our strong capital structure and liquidity affords us access to capital for future acquisition and stock repurchase opportunities and continued dividend payments.

Gross profit increased $23.5 million or 16.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and increased $21.3 million or 4.9% in the nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the comparable periods of fiscal 2013. Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales increased 20 basis points in the third quarter but decreased 20 basis points in the nine months of fiscal 2014, when compared to the comparable periods of fiscal 2013. The increase in the current quarter is primarily attributed to higher volume and pricing partially offset by higher commodity costs. The decrease in the nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the prior year nine months is primarily due to higher commodity costs partially offset by higher volume and pricing.

Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 40 basis points in the third quarter and increased 20 basis points in the nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013. Operating expenses, excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, increased $10.1 million or 12.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and increased $18.1 million or 7.8% in the nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the nine months of fiscal 2013. Increase in operating expenses in both the quarter and nine months is primarily due to increased sales volume, acquisitions, acquisition related fees and payroll related expenses. Selling expenses, our main component of operating expenses, were 55.4% and 57.5% of total operating expenses in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2014, respectively, compared to 58.0% and 59.4% of total operating expenses in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013, respectively.

Restructuring charges

Included in our third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2014 operating results are $13.0 million and $14.5 million of restructuring charges, respectively, primarily for staff reductions and write-off of fixed assets and inventory in EMEA and relocating our motive power and a portion of our reserve power manufacturing from Bulgaria to our facilities in Western Europe. Included in our third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013 operating results are $3.7 million and $5.4 million of restructuring charges, respectively, primarily for staff reductions and write-off of fixed assets and inventory in EMEA and Asia.

Goodwill impairment charge

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or earlier upon the occurrence of certain events or substantive changes in circumstances that indicate goodwill is more likely than not impaired. During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we determined that the fair value of our subsidiary in India, which was acquired in fiscal 2012, was less than its carrying amount based on our analysis of the estimated future expected cash flows we anticipate from the operations of this subsidiary. Accordingly, we recorded a non-cash charge of $5,179 for goodwill impairment relating to this subsidiary (see Note 4 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

⁽¹⁾	The percentages shown for the segments are computed as a percentage of the applicable segment’s net sales.

Operating earnings decreased $0.9 million or 1.3% in the third quarter and decreased $10.4 million or 5.4% in the nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013. Operating earnings as a percentage of net sales, decreased 150 basis points in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and decreased 120 basis points in the nine months of fiscal 2014 when compared to the comparable periods of fiscal 2013.

The EMEA segment's operating earnings, excluding restructuring charges discussed above, increased in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013, with the operating margin increasing 200 basis points to 8.5%. Operating earnings, excluding restructuring charges, increased in the nine months of fiscal 2014 in comparison to the comparable period in the prior year, with the operating margin increasing 70 basis points to 7.5%. This improvement in EMEA earnings primarily reflects the increase in organic volume in the third quarter and a positive impact due to restructuring programs in both the current quarter and year to date periods.

The Americas segment had an increase in operating earnings in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013, with the operating margin decreasing 160 basis points to 14.8%. Operating earnings increased slightly in the nine months of fiscal 2014 in comparison to the comparable period in the prior year, with the operating margin decreasing 160 basis points to 14.3%. This decrease in both the quarter and nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the prior year periods is primarily attributable to higher commodity costs and operating expenses and a less favorable product mix, partially offset by higher volume.

Operating earnings, excluding restructuring and goodwill impairment charges, increased in the Asia segment in the third quarter compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013, with the operating margin increasing by 460 basis points to 11.1% primarily due to a significant improvement in organic volume of approximately 34%. Operating earnings decreased in the nine months of fiscal 2014 in comparison to the comparable period in the prior year, with the operating margin decreasing 110 basis points to 9.3%. The decrease in operating margin was primarily due to a less favorable product mix in the nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the comparable prior year period.

Interest expense	$	13.0	0.7	%	$	14.3	0.8	%	$	(1.3	)	(9.1	)%

Interest expense of $4.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 (net of interest income of $0.3 million) was comparable to the interest expense of $4.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 (net of interest income of $0.6 million). Interest expense of $13.0 million in the nine months of fiscal 2014 (net of interest income of $0.7 million) was $1.3 million lower than the interest expense of $14.3 million in the nine months of fiscal 2013 (net of interest income of $1.0 million).

The decrease in interest expense in the nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to the comparable prior year period is primarily due to lower average debt outstanding.

Included in interest expense are non-cash charges for deferred financing fees of $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2014 and $0.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013.

Included in interest expense is non-cash, accreted interest on the Convertible Notes of $1.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively, in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2014 and $1.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively, in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013 (see Note 11 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

Our average debt outstanding (reflecting the reduction of the Convertible Notes discount) was $267.7 million and $213.9 million in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2014, respectively, compared to $249.3 million and $258.8 million in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013. The decrease in the nine months was mainly due to the repayment of outstanding debt under our 2011 Credit Facility and term loans in Asia. The average Convertible Notes discount excluded from our average debt outstanding was $12.6 million and $14.5 million in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2014, respectively, and $20.0 million and $21.7 million, respectively, in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2013.

Other (income) expense, net in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 was an expense of $8.2 million compared to an expense of $1.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Other (income) expense, net in the nine months of fiscal 2014 was an expense of $11.0 million compared to an expense of $0.7 million in the nine months of fiscal 2013. The unfavorable impact in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2014 is mainly attributable to write-offs relating to non-operating assets and other charges of $6.5 million in both the periods, higher foreign currency losses of $1.2 million and $3.8 million, in the current quarter and nine months, respectively, compared to $0.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, in the comparable prior year periods. The prior year's nine months also had insurance recoveries of $1.8 million.

Effective tax rate	15.5%				28.5%				(13.0)%

The Company’s income tax provisions consist of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provisions for the third quarters of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 were based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods.

The effective income tax rates for the third quarters of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 were (13.5)% and 28.2%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the nine months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 were 15.5% and 28.5%, respectively. The rate decrease in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2014 as compared to the comparable prior year periods is primarily due to the reversal of a previously recognized deferred tax valuation allowance related to one of our foreign subsidiaries of $24.9 million and changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. The valuation allowance release is the result of an operational restructuring approved during the third quarter of fiscal 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating activities provided cash of $99.1 million in the nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to $135.5 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2013. In the nine months of fiscal 2014, net earnings of $134.0 million, depreciation and amortization of $38.9 million, non-cash charges relating to write-off of goodwill and other assets of $10.2 million, and restructuring charges of $5.3 million, were partially offset by cash used for the increase in primary working capital of $67.1 million and deferred taxes of $24.9 million, net of currency translation changes. In the first nine months of fiscal 2013, net earnings of $127.3 million and depreciation and amortization of $37.8 million were offset by cash used for the increase in primary working capital of $35.6 million, net of currency translation changes.

Primary working capital for this purpose is trade accounts receivable, plus inventories, minus trade accounts payable. The resulting net amount is divided by the trailing three month net sales (annualized) to derive a primary working capital percentage. Primary working capital was $653.6 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 25.4%) at December 29, 2013, $552.7 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 24.2%) at March 31, 2013 and $611.7 million at December 30, 2012 (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 27.4%). The primary working capital percentage of 25.4% at December 29, 2013 is 120 basis points higher than that for March 31, 2013, and 200 basis points lower than that for the prior year period.

Primary working capital increased during the nine months of fiscal 2014, largely due to an increase in receivables which resulted from higher sales volume, acquisitions and a seasonal increase in days sales outstanding.

Primary working capital and primary working capital percentages at December 29, 2013, March 31, 2013 and December 30, 2012 are computed as follows:



(In Millions)
Balance At	Trade Receivables		Inventory		Accounts Payable			Total		Quarter Revenue Annualized		Primary Working Capital %
December 29, 2013	$	535.0	$	360.8	$	(242.2	)	$	653.6	$	2,572.1	25.4	%
March 31, 2013	448.1		353.9		(249.3		)	552.7		2,288.5		24.2
December 30, 2012	460.1		380.0		(228.4		)	611.7		2,229.3		27.4

Investing activities used cash of $193.7 million in the nine months of fiscal 2014, primarily comprised of acquisitions of $146.2 million and capital expenditures of $48.9 million. In the comparable period in fiscal 2013, investing activities used cash of $37.5 million and primarily comprised of capital expenditures. There were no acquisitions in the prior year period.

Financing activities provided cash of $49.4 million in the nine months of fiscal 2014 primarily due to borrowings and repayments under the 2011 Credit Facility of $213.1 million and $93.3 million, respectively, repurchase of our common stock for $49.6 million and payment of cash dividends to our stockholders of $17.8 million. Taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards, net of option proceeds and related tax benefits resulted in a net outflow of $3.3 million. Net borrowings on short-term debt were $12.3 million. We also acquired the share of noncontrolling interests in one of our foreign subsidiaries for $6.0 million and paid deferred consideration of $4.8 million in connection with an acquisition made in fiscal 2012. In the nine months of fiscal 2013, financing activities used cash of $31.3 million, primarily reflecting borrowings and repayments of $230.5 million and $258.2 million, respectively, under the 2011 Credit Facility. Borrowings on long-term and short-term debt were $5.6 million and $13.2 million, respectively, which were partially offset by repayments of long-term debt of $11.8 million in Asia. In the nine months of fiscal 2013, we repurchased $22.6 million of our common stock. Exercise of stock options and the related tax benefits contributed $13.8 million.

As a result of the above, total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $37.7 million to $211.6 million, respectively, in the nine months of fiscal 2014 compared to an increase of $68.1 million to $228.6 million, respectively, in the comparable period of fiscal 2013.

All obligations under our 2011 Credit Facility are secured by, among other things, substantially all of our U.S. assets. This credit agreement 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 credit agreement. As we believe that we will continue to comply with these covenants and conditions, we believe 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 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a detailed description of debt.

ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market Risks

Our cash flows and earnings are subject to fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and raw material costs. 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 interest rate swap agreements, lead forward purchase contracts and foreign exchange forward contracts to manage the risk associated with our exposures. The Company’s agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions. Those contracts that result in a liability position at December 29, 2013 are $1.1 million (pre-tax), therefore, there is minimal risk of nonperformance by these counterparties. Those contracts that result in an asset position at December 29, 2013 are $4.5 million (pre-tax) and the vast majority of these will settle within one year. The impact on the Company due to nonperformance by the counterparties has been evaluated and not deemed material.

Interest Rate Risks

We are exposed to changes in variable U.S. interest rates on borrowings under our 2011 Credit Facility. On a selective basis, from time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the negative impact that increases in interest rates could have on our outstanding variable rate debt. We had no interest rate swap agreements as of December 29, 2013.

At March 31, 2013, the aggregate notional amount of interest rate swap agreements was $65.0 million. These agreements expired in May 2013.

A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased annual interest expense by approximately $1.5 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 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)
December 29, 2013	$	61.9	64.2	$	0.96	14	%
March 31, 2013	56.6		56.3	1.00		12
December 30, 2012	56.8		57.6	0.99		12


⁽¹⁾	Based on approximate annual lead requirements for the periods then ended.

For the remaining quarter of this fiscal year, we believe substantially all of the cost of our lead requirements is known. This takes into account the hedge contracts in place at December 29, 2013, lead purchased by December 29, 2013 that will be reflected in future costs under our FIFO accounting treatment, 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 $16 million and $44 million in the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2014.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks

We manufacture and assemble our products globally in the Americas, EMEA and Asia. Approximately 60% of our sales and 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 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

Table of Contents

trade transactions. On a selective basis, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and 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.

To hedge these exposures, we have entered into forward contracts with financial institutions to fix the value at which we will buy or sell certain currencies. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. Forward contracts outstanding as of December 29, 2013 and March 31, 2013 were $103.0 million and $73.1 million, respectively. The details of contracts outstanding as of December 29, 2013 were as follows:



Transactions Hedged	$US Equivalent (in millions)		Average Rate Hedged		Approximate % of Annual Requirements (1)
Sell Euros for U.S. dollars	$	29.8	$/€	1.34	16	%
Sell Euros for Polish zloty	39.0		PLN/€	4.25	35
Sell Euros for British pounds	20.6		£/€	0.84	28

Foreign exchange translation adjustments are recorded in the consolidated condensed statements of comprehensive income.

Based on changes in the timing and amount of interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate movements and our actual exposures and hedges, actual gains and losses in the future may differ from our historical results.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, and the following:

Risk of conversion or repurchase of Convertible Notes could adversely affect the Company’s liquidity.

Under the terms of our Convertible Notes, a holder of Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase some or all of the holder’s Convertible Notes for cash upon the occurrence of a fundamental change as defined in the indenture and on each of June 1, 2015, 2018, 2023, 2028 and 2033 at a price equal to 100% of the accreted principal amount of the Convertible Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in each case. Additionally, in the event that holders are permitted to convert their Convertible Notes at their option on any day prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding March 1, 2015, because (1) during the five business-day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the price per $1,000 in original principal amount of the Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the “last reported sale price” (as defined in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes) of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate for the Convertible Notes for such day; (2) during any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2008 (and only during such quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for 20 or more trading days in a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the applicable conversion price in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events, the Company may settle conversions (a) entirely in shares of its common stock, (b) entirely in cash, or (c) in cash for the accreted principal amount of the Convertible Notes and shares of its common stock, or cash and shares of its common stock, for the excess, if any, of the conversion value above the accreted principal amount. As of December 29, 2013, the Company has $172.5 million of Convertible Notes outstanding, and the Convertible Notes have become convertible through March 31, 2014.

It is the Company’s current intent to settle the principal amount of any such conversions in cash, and any additional conversion consideration at the conversion rate then applicable in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares. To the extent that then existing domestic cash balances and cash flow from operations, together with borrowing capacity under then existing credit facilities, are insufficient to satisfy any such settlement or optional put or conversion, the Company may require additional financing from other sources. The Company’s ability to obtain such additional financing in the future will depend in part upon prevailing capital market conditions, as well as conditions in the Company’s business and its operating results; and those factors may affect its efforts to arrange additional financing on terms that are acceptable to the Company. The Convertible Notes will mature on June 1, 2038, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by the Company.
