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 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K (SEC File No. 001-32253), which was filed on May 30, 2017 (the “2017 Annual Report”).
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.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts
with Customers (Topic 606)” providing guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB voted to delay the effective date for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permissible one year earlier. The standard permits the use of either modified retrospective or full retrospective transition methods. The Company has developed an implementation plan, which
is currently in the assessment phase. The Company has not selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of the standard will have on the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). This update requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification
will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. This update is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, using a modified retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In
October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory. ASU 2016-16 requires that an entity recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs. This update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company early adopted the standard on a modified retrospective basis during the first quarter of fiscal 2018 through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings of $137, as of the beginning of the period of adoption.
In
March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07,“Compensation—Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)” which requires an entity to report the service cost component of pension and other postretirement benefit costs in the same line item as other compensation costs. The other components of net (benefit) cost will be required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.
The following tables represent the financial assets and (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 2, 2017 and March 31, 2017, and the basis for that measurement:
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 within the fair value hierarchy, as described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Company's consolidated financial statements included in its 2017 Annual Report.
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 and borrowings under the 2011 Credit Facility (as defined in Note 9), approximate their respective carrying value, as they are variable rate debt and the terms are comparable to market terms as of the balance sheet dates and are classified as Level 2.
The
Company's 5.00% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”), with an original face value of $300,000, were issued in April 2015. The fair value of these Notes represent the trading values based upon quoted market prices and are classified as Level 2. The Notes were trading at approximately 103% and 101% of face value on July 2, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively.

(2)
The fair value amount of the Notes at July 2, 2017 and March 31,
2017 represent the trading value of the instruments.
4. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company utilizes derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange 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.
The Company enters into lead forward contracts
to fix the price for a portion of its lead purchases. Management considers the lead 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. At July 2, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company has hedged the price to purchase approximately 61.5 million pounds and 45.0 million pounds of lead, respectively,
for a total purchase price of $61,038 and $46,550, respectively.
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and options 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 July 2, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had entered into a total of $44,073 and $30,751, respectively, of such contracts.
In
the coming twelve months, the Company anticipates that $1,722 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 net 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 Consolidated Condensed Statement of Income 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
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 July 2, 2017
and March 31, 2017, the notional amount of these contracts was $13,018 and $13,560, 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:
The Company’s income tax provision consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provision for the first quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017 was based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods. The Company’s
effective income tax rate with respect to any period may be volatile based on the mix of income in the tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates and the amount of the Company's consolidated income before taxes.
The consolidated effective income tax rates were 20.7% and 24.4%, respectively, for the first
quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017. The rate decrease in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017 is primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions.
Foreign income as a percentage of worldwide income is estimated to be 61% for fiscal 2018 compared to 55% for fiscal 2017. The foreign effective income tax rates for the first
quarter of fiscal 2018 and 2017 were 11.6% and 14.4%, respectively. The rate decrease compared to the prior year period is primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. Income from the Company's Swiss subsidiary comprised a substantial portion of the Company's overall foreign mix of income and is taxed at an effective income tax rate of approximately 6%.
6. Warranty
The
Company provides for estimated product warranty expenses when the related products are sold, with related liabilities included within accrued expenses and other liabilities. As 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:
In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are routinely defendants in or parties to many pending and threatened legal actions and proceedings, including actions brought on behalf of various classes of claimants. These actions and proceedings are generally based on alleged violations of environmental, anticompetition, employment, contract and other laws. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for substantial
monetary damages are asserted against the Company and its subsidiaries. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to regulatory and governmental examinations, information gathering requests, inquiries, investigations, and threatened legal actions and proceedings. In connection with formal and informal inquiries by federal, state, local and foreign agencies, such subsidiaries receive numerous requests, subpoenas and orders for documents, testimony and information in connection with various
aspects of their activities.
European Competition Investigations
Certain of the Company’s European subsidiaries have received subpoenas and requests for documents and, in some cases, interviews from, and have had on-site inspections conducted by, the competition authorities of Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands relating to conduct and anticompetitive practices of certain industrial battery participants. The Company is responding to inquiries related to these matters. The
Company settled the Belgian regulatory proceeding in February 2016 by acknowledging certain anticompetitive practices and conduct and agreeing to pay a fine of $1,962, which was paid in March 2016. As of July 2, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had a reserve balance of $1,955 and $1,830, respectively, relating to the Belgian regulatory proceeding. The change in the reserve balance between July 2, 2017 and March 31,
2017 was solely due to foreign currency translation impact.
In June 2017, the Company settled a portion of its previously disclosed proceeding involving the German competition authority relating to conduct involving the Company's motive power battery business and agreed to pay a fine of $14,393, which was paid on July 11, 2017. As of July 2, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the
Company had a reserve balance of $14,393 and 13,463, respectively, relating to this matter. Also in June 2017, the German competition authority issued a fining decision related to the Company's reserve power battery business, which constitutes the remaining portion of the previously disclosed German proceeding. The Company is appealing this decision, including payment of the proposed fine of $11,415, and believes that the reserve power matter does not, based on current facts and circumstances, require an accrual. The Company is not required to escrow any portion of this fine
during the appeal process.
In July 2017, the Company settled the Dutch regulatory proceeding and agreed to pay a fine of $10,785, which is payable by August 11, 2017. For the Dutch regulatory proceeding, the Company had reserved $10,785 and $10,258, respectively, as of July 2, 2017 and March 31, 2017.
As of July 2, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had a total reserve balance of $27,133 and $25,551, respectively, in connection with these remaining investigations and other related legal matters, included in accrued expenses on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The foregoing estimate of losses is based upon currently available information for these proceedings. However, the precise scope, timing and
time period at issue, as well as the final outcome of the investigations or customer claims, remain uncertain. Accordingly, the Company’s estimate may change from time to time, and actual losses could vary.
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 registering, 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.
The Company is responsible for certain cleanup obligations at the former Yuasa battery facility in Sumter, South Carolina, that predates its ownership of this facility. This manufacturing facility was closed in 2001 and the Company established a reserve for this facility, which was $1,117 and $1,123 as of July 2,
2017 and March 31, 2017. Based on current information, the Company’s management believes this reserve is adequate to satisfy the Company’s environmental liabilities at this facility. This facility is separate from the Company’s current metal fabrication facility in Sumter.
To stabilize
its lead costs and reduce volatility from currency movements, the Company enters into contracts with financial institutions. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year. Please refer to Note 4 - Derivative Financial Instruments for more details.
8. Restructuring and Other Exit Charges
During fiscal 2016, the Company announced
restructurings to improve efficiencies primarily related to its motive power assembly and distribution center in Italy and its sales and administration organizations in EMEA. In addition, the Company announced a further restructuring related to its manufacturing operations in Europe. The Company estimates that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $6,600 primarily from cash charges for employee severance-related payments and other charges. The Company estimates that these actions will result in the reduction of approximately 130 employees upon completion. In fiscal 2016, the
Company recorded restructuring charges of $5,232 and recorded an additional $1,251 during fiscal 2017. The Company incurred $2,993 in costs against the accrual in fiscal 2016 and incurred an additional $3,037 against the accrual during fiscal 2017. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $100 and incurred $133 against the accrual. As of July 2,
2017, the reserve balance associated with these actions is $379. The Company expects no further restructuring charges related to these actions and expects to complete the program during fiscal 2018.
During fiscal 2017, the Company announced restructuring programs to improve efficiencies primarily related to its motive power production in EMEA. The Company estimates that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $4,800, primarily from cash charges for employee severance-related payments
and other charges. The Company estimates that these actions will result in the reduction of approximately 45 employees upon completion. During fiscal 2017, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $3,104 and incurred $749 in costs against the accrual. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $733 and incurred $930 against the accrual. As of July 2,
2017, the reserve balance associated with these actions is $2,218. The Company expects to be committed to an additional $1,000 in restructuring charges related to this action in fiscal 2018, when it expects to complete this program.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company announced a restructuring primarily to complete the transfer of equipment and clean-up of its manufacturing facility located in Jiangdu, the People’s Republic of China, which stopped production during fiscal 2016. This program was completed during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The total cash charges for
these actions amounted to $779. During fiscal 2017, the Company recorded charges of $779 and incurred $648 in costs against the accrual. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recorded charges of $0 and incurred $129 in costs against the accrual.
A roll-forward of the restructuring reserve is as follows:
The Company's $300,000 5.00% Senior Notes due 2023 bear interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum. Interest is payable semiannually in arrears on April 30 and October 30 of each year, commencing on October 30, 2015. The Notes will mature on April 30, 2023, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased in full. The Notes are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”), jointly and severally,
by each of its subsidiaries that are guarantors under the 2011 Credit Facility (the “Guarantors”). The Guarantees are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Guarantors.
2011 Credit Facility
The Company is party to a $500,000 senior secured revolving credit facility and a $150,000 senior secured incremental term loan (the “Term Loan”) that matures on September 30, 2018, comprising the “2011 Credit Facility”. The quarterly installments payable
on the Term Loan were $1,875 beginning June 30, 2015 and $3,750 beginning June 30, 2016 with a final payment of $108,750 on September 30, 2018. The 2011 Credit Facility may be increased by an aggregate amount of $300,000 in revolving commitments and/or one or more new tranches of term loans, under certain conditions. Both revolver loans and the Term Loan under the 2011 Credit Facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at a rate per annum equal to either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus between 1.25%
and 1.75% (currently 1.25% and based on the Company's consolidated net leverage ratio) or (ii) the Base Rate (which is the highest of (a) the Bank of America prime rate, and (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate) plus between 0.25% and 0.75% (based on the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio). Obligations under the 2011 Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the Company’s existing and future acquired assets, including substantially all of the capital stock of the Company’s

Summarized financial information related to the Company's reportable segments for the first quarter ended July 2, 2017 and July 3,
2016 is shown below:
On August 4, 2017, the Company refinanced its existing 2011 Credit Facility comprising of a $500,000 senior secured revolving credit facility and a $150,000 senior secured incremental term loan that matures on September 30, 2018, with a new facility that includes a $600,000 senior secured revolving
credit facility and a $150,000 senior secured term loan, with a maturity date of September 30, 2022.
On August 9, 2017, the Company also announced the establishment of a new $100,000 stock repurchase authorization, with no expiration date. This authorization is in addition to the existing stock repurchase program, established in connection with the dilutive effects of previously granted equity-based awards.

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 cabinet enclosures. 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 50% 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 Zug, Switzerland;
and
•
Asia, which includes Asia, Australia and Oceania, with our segment headquarters in Singapore.
We have two primary product lines: reserve power 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 medical and 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. Reserve power products also include thermally managed cabinets and enclosures for electronic equipment and batteries.
•
Motive power products are used
to provide power for electric industrial forklifts used in manufacturing, warehousing and other material handling applications as well as 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. North America and EMEA are experiencing limited economic growth. Our Asia region continues to grow faster than any other region in which we do business, but at a slower pace than a few years ago.
Volatility of Commodities and Foreign Currencies
Our most
significant commodity and foreign currency exposures are related to lead and the euro, respectively. 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 and foreign currency exposures may continue to fluctuate as they have in the past several years. Over the past year, on a consolidated basis, we have experienced rising commodity costs.
Customer Pricing
Our selling prices fluctuated during the last several years to offset the volatile cost of commodities. Approximately 30% of our revenue is currently subject to agreements that adjust pricing to a market-based index for lead. During the first quarter
of fiscal 2018, our selling prices increased due to increased commodity costs, compared to the comparable prior year period.
We believe that our financial position is strong, and we have substantial liquidity with $543 million of available cash and cash equivalents and available and undrawn credit lines of approximately $422 million at July 2,
2017 to cover short-term liquidity requirements and anticipated growth in the foreseeable future.
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.
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.
Net
sales increased $22.0 million or 3.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017. This increase for the first quarter was the result of a 4% increase in pricing and a 1% increase in organic volume, partially offset by a 1% decrease due to foreign currency translation impact.
The Americas segment’s net sales increased $24.9 million or 7.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily
due to a 5% increase in organic volume and a 3% increase in pricing.
The EMEA segment’s net sales increased $2.0 million or 1.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily due to a 5% increase in pricing, partially offset by a 3% decrease in organic volume and a 1% decrease due to foreign currency translation impact.
The Asia segment’s net sales decreased $4.9 million or 6.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the first
quarter of fiscal 2017, primarily due to a 8% decrease in organic volume and a 2% decrease in foreign currency translation impact, partially offset by a 3% increase in pricing.
Net
sales of our reserve power products in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 increased $9.2 million or 3.1% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase was primarily due to a 4% increase in pricing, partially offset by a 1% decrease due to foreign currency translation impact.
Net sales of our motive power products in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 increased by $12.8 million or 4.2% compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The increase was primarily due to a 4% increase in pricing and a 1% increase
in organic volume, partially offset by a 1% decrease due to foreign currency translation impact.
Gross
profit decreased $3.2 million or 2.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 150 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017. The decrease in the gross profit margin in the current quarter is primarily due to an increase in lead cost of approximately $34 million, partially offset by price recoveries and cost saving initiatives.
Operating
expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 160 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Operating expenses, excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, decreased $5.7 million or 6.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding the impact of the $6.3 million write-off of previously capitalized costs relating to the ERP system implementation in our Americas region during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, operating expenses were comparable to
prior year quarter. Selling expenses, our main component of operating expenses, were 53.4% of total operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, compared to 53.1% of total operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
Restructuring charges
Included in our first quarter of fiscal 2018 operating results are $0.8 million relating to restructuring charges in EMEA consisting of cash charges primarily relating to severance. Included in our first quarter of fiscal 2017 operating results were restructuring
charges in Americas, EMEA and Asia of $0.9 million, $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, primarily for our Cleveland, Ohio charger manufacturing facility in the U.S., motive power assembly and distribution center in Italy as well as our European manufacturing operations, along with costs to complete the transfer of equipment and clean-up of our manufacturing facility located in Jiangdu, the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”).
Operating earnings increased $3.6 million or 5.4% in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Operating earnings, as a percentage of net sales, increased 20 basis points in
the first quarter of fiscal 2018, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding the impact of the $6.3 million write-off of previously capitalized costs relating to the ERP system implementation in our Americas region during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, operating earnings in the current quarter decreased 90 basis points due to an increase in lead cost, partially offset by price recoveries and cost saving initiatives.
The Americas segment's operating earnings, excluding restructuring charges, increased 200 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, compared
to the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Excluding the impact of the $6.3 million write-off of previously capitalized costs relating to the ERP system implementation in our Americas region during the first quarter of fiscal 2017, operating earnings in the current quarter increased by 10 basis points due to higher organic volume and pricing offset by higher lead costs.
The EMEA segment's operating earnings, excluding restructuring charges discussed above, decreased 330 basis points in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017 primarily
due to delayed pricing recovery on unfavorable lead impact, partially offset by benefits from cost reduction programs.
Operating earnings decreased 100 basis points in the Asia segment in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017 primarily due to slow down in the telecom spending in the PRC.
Interest
expense of $5.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 (net of interest income of $0.7 million) was the same as the interest expense of $5.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 (net of interest income of $0.4 million) as the increase in interest rates in the current quarter impacted both interest expense and income for a zero impact in the current quarter. Our average debt outstanding was $630.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, compared to $636.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
Included
in interest expense are non-cash charges for deferred financing fees of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in the first quarters of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017.
Other (income) expense, net in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was an expense of $2.9 million compared to expense of $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. Foreign currency impact resulted in a loss of $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, compared to the foreign currency losses of $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
As
a result of the above, earnings before income taxes in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 increased $2.0 million, or 3.3%, compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017.
The
Company’s income tax provision consists of federal, state and foreign income taxes. The tax provision for the first quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017 was based on the estimated effective tax rates applicable for the full years ending March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, respectively, after giving effect to items specifically related to the interim periods. Our effective income tax rate with respect to any period may be volatile based on the mix of income in the tax jurisdictions in which we operate and the amount of our consolidated income before taxes.
The
consolidated effective income tax rates were 20.7% and 24.4%, respectively, for the first quarters of fiscal 2018 and 2017. The rate decrease in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017 is primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions.
Foreign income as a percentage of worldwide income is estimated to be 61% for fiscal 2018
compared to 55% for fiscal 2017. The foreign effective income tax rates for the current quarter of fiscal 2018 and 2017 were 11.6% and 14.4%, respectively. The rate decrease compared to the prior year period is primarily due to changes in the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. Income from our Swiss subsidiary comprised a substantial portion of our overall foreign mix of income and is taxed at an effective income tax rate of approximately 6%.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Except as discussed in the following paragraph, 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 2017 Annual Report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating activities provided cash of $21.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018
compared to $67.6 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2017. In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, cash provided by operating activities was primarily from net earnings of $48.3 million, depreciation and amortization of $13.2 million, stock-based compensation of $5.2 million, provision of doubtful accounts of $0.5 million and non-cash interest of $0.3 million. Cash provided by operating activities were partially offset by the increase in primary working capital of $25.5 million, net of currency translation changes, accrued expenses of $15.2 million, comprising primarily of payroll related expenses and income taxes and prepaid and other current assets of $4.2 million, comprising primarily of prepaid taxes.
In the first quarter of fiscal
2017, cash provided by operating activities was primarily from net earnings of $44.6 million, depreciation and amortization of $13.8 million, non-cash charges relating to write-offs relating to restructuring and ERP implementation of $7.0 million, stock-based compensation of $5.1 million, provision of doubtful accounts of $0.9 million and non-cash interest of $0.3 million. Also contributing to our cash provided from operating activities was the decrease in primary working capital of $2.5 million, net of currency translation changes, compared to the decrease in primary working capital of $31.0 million in the prior year quarter.
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 $661.9 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 26.6%) at July 2, 2017, $624.8 million (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 24.9%) at March 31, 2017 and $586.5 million at July 3, 2016 (yielding a primary working capital percentage of 24.4%). The primary working capital percentage of 26.6% at July 2,
2017 is 170 basis points higher than that for March 31, 2017, and is 220 basis points higher than that for the prior year period. Primary working capital percentage increased during the current quarter of fiscal 2018 largely due to higher inventory levels and accounts receivable. The reason for the increase in inventory is partially due to rising lead costs, slower inventory turns and a weaker U.S. dollar. Accounts receivable is higher mainly due to increased volume and higher selling prices.
Investing activities used cash of $16.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and primarily consisted of capital expenditures of $13.1 million, and acquisitions of $3.0 million.
Investing activities used cash of $19.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and were primarily comprised of capital expenditures of $7.5 million, and acquisitions of $12.4 million.
Financing activities provided cash of $17.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 primarily due to revolver borrowings of $112.1 million and repayments of $62.1 million, purchase of treasury stock of $21.2 million, repayment of our Term Loan of $3.8
million, payment of cash dividends to our stockholders of $7.6 million, and payment of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards of $7.4 million. Net borrowings on short-term debt were $6.7 million and proceeds from stock options were $0.6 million.
Financing activities used cash of $23.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 primarily due to revolver borrowings and repayments of $84.3 million and $79.3 million, respectively, repayment of our Term Loan of $3.8 million, payment of cash dividends to our stockholders of $7.6 million, and payment of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards of $7.6 million. Net borrowings on short-term debt were $9.5 million.
As a result of the above, total cash and cash equivalents increased by $42.7 million to $543.0
million, in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to an increase by $16.3 million to $413.6 million, in the comparable period of fiscal 2017.
All obligations under our 2011 Credit Facility are secured by, among other things, substantially all of our U.S. assets. The 2011 Credit Facility 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. We believe that we will continue to comply with these covenants and conditions, and 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 2017 Annual Report and Note 9 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a detailed description of our debt.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
A table of our obligations is contained in Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations — Contractual Obligations of our 2017 Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2017. As of July 2, 2017, we had no significant changes to our contractual obligations table contained in our 2017 Form 10-K.
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 lead forward purchase contracts and foreign exchange forward and purchased option contracts to manage the risk associated with our exposures to fluctuations resulting from changes in raw material costs and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s agreements are with creditworthy financial institutions. Those contracts that result in a liability position at July 2, 2017 are $1.7
million (pre-tax). Those contracts that result in an asset position at July 2, 2017 are $3.1 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 credit agreements as well as short term borrowings in our foreign
subsidiaries.
A 100 basis point increase in interest rates would have increased interest expense, on an annualized basis, by approximately $3.4 million on the variable rate portions of our debt.
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 forward 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:
(1)Based
on approximate annual lead requirements for the periods then ended.
For the remaining three quarters of this fiscal year, we believe approximately 46% of the cost of our lead requirements is known. This takes into account the hedge contracts in place at July 2, 2017, lead purchased by July 2, 2017 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 $17 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks
We manufacture and assemble our products globally in the Americas, EMEA and Asia. Approximately 50% 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 intercompany and third party trade transactions. On a selective basis, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts and purchase 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.
We hedge approximately 10% - 15% of the nominal amount of our known foreign exchange transactional exposures. We primarily enter into foreign currency exchange contracts to reduce the earnings and cash flow impact of the variation of non-functional currency denominated receivables and payables. The vast majority of such contracts are for a period not extending beyond one year.
Gains and losses resulting from hedging instruments offset the foreign exchange gains or
losses on the underlying assets and liabilities being hedged. The maturities of the forward exchange contracts generally coincide with the settlement dates of the related transactions. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in the same period as gains and losses on the hedged items. We also selectively hedge anticipated transactions that are subject to foreign exchange exposure, primarily with foreign currency exchange contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815.
At July 2,
2017 and July 3, 2016, we estimate that an unfavorable 10% movement in the exchange rates would have adversely changed our hedge valuations by approximately $4.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
