EnerSys Provides Update on IRC Section 45X Tax Credit Benefits and Updated Guidance for Its Fiscal Third Quarter 2024

EnerSys (NYSE: ENS) the global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications is providing a one time update to a portion of its previously issued fiscal third quarter 2024 outlook following the December 14, 2023 issuance of proposed regulations by the U.S. Department of the Treasury regarding the Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit - Section 45X of the Internal Revenue Code. The proposed regulations provide additional clarification on the methodology for calculating capacities of batteries that qualify for tax credits. EnerSys believes the impact of the proposed regulations will result in more of its product sales than previously anticipated to qualify for the related tax credits.

As a result, the Company now expects the annual tax credits that are recorded as a reduction to cost of goods sold and not subject to taxation to be in the range of approximately $120 million to $160 million. This represents an ongoing annual increase to our anticipated tax credits of approximately $35 million to $45 million compared to the previously communicated annual range of approximately $80 million to $120 million. The Company expects to continue to receive credits with regard to its qualifying U.S. production volumes through December 31, 2032.

Based on the proposed regulations from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Company now expects its third quarter fiscal 2024 adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of $2.50 to $2.60, which reflects an adjustment – including retroactive impacts for the incremental IRC 45X tax benefits attributable to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023 through the third quarter of fiscal 2024, as well as absorbing sustained capex pauses from telecom and broadband customers. This compares to the previously communicated range of $1.80 to $1.90.

EnerSys President & CEO David M. Shaffer stated, “EnerSys’s eligibility for Section 45X credits emphasizes the critical role our products play in helping to drive the global energy transition. We remain highly focused on executing on our strategic initiatives to achieve our long-term goals. We are pleased that the proposed regulations provide further support to EnerSys’s domestic investments in technology and operations in order to provide efficient, innovative solutions for our customers.”

The Company is continuing to evaluate the proposed regulations with its advisors and will provide more details during its regularly scheduled third quarter fiscal 2024 earnings results conference call to be held in February 2024.

Section 45X was created under Section 13502 of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the "IRA" or the "Act") and signed into law on August 16, 2022. Section 45X provides Advanced Manufacturing Production Credits (“Credit(s)”) for battery cells and battery modules produced in the United States (U.S.) with an energy density of not less than 100 watt-hours per liter. Credits will be determined based on sales of qualifying products produced in the U.S. from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2032. See Section 13502 of the IRA for more information on Section 45X - https://www.congress.gov/117/plaws/publ169/PLAW-117publ169.pdf
