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. 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.
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.

3. 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 June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 and the basis for that measurement:

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 June 30, 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 unsecured 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 June 30, 2013, the Company’s stock price closed at $49.04 per share. The Convertible Notes have a conversion option at $40.60 per share. 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 130% of face value on June 30, 2013, and 126% of face value on March 31, 2013.
See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more details.

(3)
The fair value amounts of the Convertible Notes at June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 represent the trading values of the Convertible Notes with a principal value of $172,500.

4. 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 June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 were 90.9 million pounds and 56.3 million pounds, respectively.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The Company purchases lead and other commodities in certain countries where the foreign currency exposure is different from the functional currency of that country. 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 June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company had entered into a total of $71,227 and $51,366, respectively, of such contracts.
In the coming twelve months, the Company anticipates that $3,624 of pretax loss 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 current quarter ended June 30, 2013, and the Company had no interest rate swap agreements as of June 30, 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 $0 and $15 during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, 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. These are not designated as hedging instruments and changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded directly in the consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the notional amount of

these contracts was $10,722 and $21,749, respectively. The Company recorded expense in the consolidated condensed statements of income within other (income) expense, net of $226 and $114 during the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Presented below in tabular form is information on the location and amounts of derivative fair values in the consolidated condensed balance sheets and derivative gains and losses in the consolidated condensed statements of income:

5. Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax provisions consist of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provisions for the first 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 first quarters of fiscal 2014 and 2013 were 27.8% and 29.1%, respectively. The rate decrease in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the prior year quarter is primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions and a reduction in income taxes related to a legal entity reorganization of certain foreign subsidiaries.

6. Warranties
The Company provides for estimated product warranty expenses when the related products are sold, with related liabilities included within accrued expenses and other liabilities. Because warranty estimates are forecasts that are based on the best available information, primarily historical claims experience, claims costs may differ from amounts provided. An analysis of changes in the liability for product warranties is as follows:

7. 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.

Table of Contents

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 June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Company has hedged the price to purchase 90.9 million pounds and 56.3 million pounds of lead, respectively, for a total purchase price of $83,996 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 $81,949 and $73,115, respectively, of foreign currency forward contracts with financial institutions as of June 30, 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 U.S. credit agreement. 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 current quarter ended June 30, 2013 and the Company had no interest rate swap agreements at June 30, 2013 as well as no borrowings under its U.S. credit agreement. 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.

8. Restructuring Plans
During fiscal 2012, the Company announced restructuring plans related to its operations in EMEA, primarily consisting of the transfer of manufacturing of select products between certain of its manufacturing operations and restructuring of its selling, general and administrative operations, which is expected to result in the reduction of approximately 85 employees upon completion. The Company estimates that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $3,600, primarily from cash expenses for employee severance-related payments. The Company recorded restructuring charges of $3,545 through fiscal 2013, with no additional charges during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The Company incurred $3,346 of costs against the accrual through fiscal 2013, with no additional costs incurred against the accrual during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. As of June 30, 2013, the reserve balance associated with these actions is $188. The Company does not expect to be committed to significant additional restructuring charges in fiscal 2014 related to these actions and expects to complete the program in fiscal 2014.
During fiscal 2013, the Company announced a further restructuring related to improving the efficiency of its manufacturing operations in EMEA. The Company estimates that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $8,100, primarily from cash expenses for employee severance-related payments and non-cash expenses associated with the write-off of certain fixed assets and inventory. The Company estimates that these actions will result in the reduction of approximately 130 employees upon completion. During fiscal 2013, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $3,998, consisting of non-cash charges of $1,399 related to the write-off of fixed assets and inventory, along with cash charges related to employee severance and other charges of $2,599. The Company recorded an additional $421 in charges during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. During fiscal 2013, the Company incurred $952 of costs against the accrual, with an additional $1,073 of costs incurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. As of June 30, 2013, the reserve balance associated with these actions is $954. The Company expects to be committed to an additional $2,700 of restructuring charges in fiscal 2014 related to these actions, and expects to complete the program during fiscal 2015.
During fiscal 2013, the Company announced a restructuring related to the closure of its manufacturing facility located in Chaoan, People's Republic of China, pursuant to which the Company will transfer the manufacturing at that location to its other facilities in the People's Republic of China, to improve operational efficiencies. The Company estimates that the total charges related to this action will amount to $3,400. During fiscal 2013, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $2,691, consisting of non-cash charges of $2,290 related to the write-off of fixed assets and inventory, along with cash charges related to employee severance and other charges of $401. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, no additional restructuring charges were accrued. During fiscal 2013, the Company incurred $221 in costs against the accrual, with an additional $92 of costs incurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2014. As of June 30, 2013, the reserve balance associated with this action is $88. The Company expects to be committed to an additional $700 of restructuring related to these actions and expects to complete the restructuring during fiscal 2014.

The aggregate number of common shares that the Company could be obligated to issue upon conversion of its Convertible Notes that the Company sold in May 2008 is 4,248,761. 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 the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares. During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the average price of our common stock at $47.36 per share exceeded the conversion price of $40.60 per share on the Convertible Notes. 606,453 shares relating to the conversion premium ($47.36-$40.60) on the Convertible Notes were included in the diluted earnings per share using the treasury stock method. No contingent shares were included in diluted shares outstanding during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, as the specified conversion price exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common stock, and the inclusion of contingent shares would have been anti-dilutive.

14. Business Segments
The Company has three reportable business segments based on geographic regions, defined as follows:
Americas, which includes North and South America, with segment headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA;
EMEA, which includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa, with segment headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland; and

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;
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” (see definitions in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below) 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 related products such as chargers, power equipment and battery accessories, and we provide related after-market and customer-support services for industrial batteries. We market and sell 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.
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.
Economic Climate
Recent indicators continue to suggest a mixed trend in economic activity among the different geographical regions. The Americas and Asia’s economic expansion continues but at a slower rate. The ongoing financial crisis and austerity measures in Europe are a factor in slowing overall economic growth in this region and leading to declining economic growth rates in many of the Western European countries.
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 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 of fiscal 2014, our selling prices increased slightly.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our capital structure and liquidity remain strong. As of June 30, 2013, we had $240.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, approximately $349 million of undrawn, committed credit lines, and approximately $126 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.

Net sales increased $3.4 million or 0.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from the comparable period in fiscal 2013. This relatively flat trend for the quarter was the result of a combined 1% increase in organic volume and pricing, partially offset by a decrease related to currency translation impact. This was our highest quarterly net sales to date.
Segment sales
The EMEA segment’s net sales decreased $6.1 million or 2.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily due to a decrease of approximately 4% in organic volume partially offset by a 1% increase from pricing.
The Americas segment’s net sales increased $26.7 million or 9.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily due to an increase of approximately 9% in organic volume.
The Asia segment’s net sales decreased $17.2 million or 25.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily due to lower organic volume and pricing of approximately 21% and 4%, respectively. The prior period sales included a large project in Japan which has concluded.

Net sales of our reserve power products in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 increased $3.5 million or 1.2% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Organic volume increased approximately 2% partially offset by foreign currency translation impact of approximately 1%.
Net sales of our motive power products in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 remained relatively flat compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013. An improvement of approximately 1% due to pricing was offset by a decrease in organic volume in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales decreased 150 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013. This decrease is primarily attributed to higher commodity costs.

Operating earnings decreased $7.6 million or 10.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Operating earnings as a percentage of net sales, as shown in the table above, decreased 130 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 when compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
The EMEA segment's operating earnings, excluding the highlighted items discussed above, decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013, with the operating margin decreasing 30 basis points to 7.0%. This decrease is primarily attributable to lower organic volume and higher commodity costs partially offset by the benefits of the restructuring programs.
The Americas segment had a decrease in operating earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013, with the operating margin decreasing 220 basis points to 13.2%. This decrease of operating margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 is primarily attributable to higher commodity costs and a less favorable product mix in the current quarter compared to the prior year first quarter.
Operating earnings decreased in the Asia segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013, with the operating margin decreasing by 280 basis points in the current quarter to 10.3%. The decrease in operating margin was primarily on account of a less favorable product mix in the current quarter compared to the prior year first quarter.

Interest expense of $4.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 (net of interest income of $0.3 million) was $0.4 million lower than the interest expense of $4.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 (net of interest income of $0.2 million).
The decrease in interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the comparable prior year quarter is primarily due to lower average debt outstanding in the current quarter compared to prior year quarter.
Included in interest expense are non-cash charges for deferred financing fees of $0.3 million in both the first quarters of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013.
Included in interest expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and 2013 is non-cash, accreted interest on the Convertible Notes of $1.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).
Our average debt outstanding (reflecting the reduction of the Convertible Notes discount) was $177.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to $266.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. This decrease was mainly due to the repayment of our 2011 Credit Facility and term loans in Asia. The average Convertible Notes discount excluded from our average debt outstanding was $16.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and $23.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Other (income) expense, net in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was $2.3 million compared to $1.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The unfavorable impact in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 is mainly attributable to higher foreign currency losses of $1.8 million in the current quarter compared to $0.7 million in the prior year quarter.

The Company’s income tax provisions consist of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provisions for the first 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 first quarters of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 were 27.8% and 29.1%, respectively. The rate decrease in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the comparable prior year period is primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions and a reduction in income taxes related to a legal entity reorganization of certain foreign subsidiaries.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those discussed under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating activities provided cash of $34.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $24.2 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2013. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, net earnings of $40.4 million and depreciation and amortization of $12.6 million were offset by cash used for the increase in primary working capital of $14.3 million, net of currency translation changes. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, net earnings of $45.6 million and depreciation and amortization of $12.5 million were offset by cash used for the increase in primary working capital of $35.5 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 $559.3 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 23.4%) at June 30, 2013, $552.7 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 24.2%) at March 31, 2013 and $597.5 million at July 1, 2012 (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 25.2%). The primary working capital percentage of 23.4% at June 30, 2013 is 80 basis points lower than that for March 31, 2013, and 180 basis points lower than that for the prior year quarter.

Primary working capital increased slightly during the first quarter of fiscal 2014, largely due to an increase in receivables and a decrease in inventories.

Investing activities used cash of $11.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, primarily comprised of capital expenditures, compared to $16.0 million in the comparable period in fiscal 2013.
Financing activities used cash of $31.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 primarily due to the repurchase of our common stock for $22.0 million and payment of a cash dividend to our stockholders of $6.0 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. Repayments on short-term debt were $0.5 million. In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, financing activities provided cash of $18.5 million, primarily reflecting borrowings and repayments of $122.7 million and $107.2 million, respectively, on our revolver. Borrowings on long-term debt of $6.0 million were offset by repayments on short-term debt of $4.1 million in Asia. Option proceeds and related tax benefits net of taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards, contributed $1.3 million.
As a result of the above, total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $9.3 million to $240.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to an increase of $20.2 million to $180.7 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2013.
All obligations under our 2011 Senior Secured Revolving 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. Since 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 June 30, 2013 are $1.4 million (pre-tax), therefore, there is no risk of nonperformance by these counterparties. Those contracts that result in an asset position at June 30, 2013 are $1.3 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 U.S. credit agreement. 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. Changes in the fair value of these contracts for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and July 1, 2012 have been recorded in the income statement in other (income) expense, net.
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 $0.2 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:

Based on approximate annual lead requirements for the periods then ended.
For the remaining three quarters of this fiscal year, we believe approximately 45% of the cost of our lead requirement is known. This takes into account the hedge contracts in place at June 30, 2013, lead purchased by June 30, 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 $14 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks

We manufacture and assemble our products globally in the Americas, Europe 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 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 June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 were $81.9 million and $73.1 million, respectively. The details of contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2013 were as follows:
