Forward guidance

For Q1 2025, EnerSys expects net sales in the range of $860M to $900M and adjusted diluted earnings per share in the range of $1.93 to $2.03. For fiscal year 2025, net sales are projected to be between $3,675M and $3,825M, with adjusted diluted earnings per share ranging from $8.55 to $8.95.

Tailwinds

  • Volume growth driven by maintenance-free products in Motive Power.
  • Increase in transportation aftermarket sales.
  • First revenues from Fast Charge and Storage.
  • Expect to see some cost improvements and benefits from operational efficiencies flowing through to our bottom line.
  • The need for intelligent energy storage and management systems will only increase as the demand for electricity is significantly outpacing the capacity of the global grid infrastructure.

Headwinds

  • Seasonally lower volume in Motive Power is expected in Q1 2025.
  • Continued telecom and broadband spending pauses in Energy Systems.
  • Only moderate recovery in telecom and broadband markets to begin to occur towards the end of the fiscal year.
  • The IRS has not yet finalized guidance related to section 45X, which could materially increase or decrease the quantity of our U.S. produced batteries that qualify for this credit.
  • Managing business prudently to navigate the temporary spending pauses by telecom and broadband customers.
