READING, Pa., June 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EnerSys (NYSE: ENS), the global leader in stored energy solutions for industrial applications, announced today results for its fourth quarter and full year of fiscal 2020, which ended on March 31, 2020.
Net loss attributable to EnerSys stockholders (“Net loss”) for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 was $1.5 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $49.0 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, from highlighted items described in further detail in the tables shown below, reconciling non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts.
Net earnings for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 were $18.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, which included an unfavorable highlighted net of tax impact of $43.6 million, or $1.01 per diluted share from highlighted items described in further detail in the tables shown below, reconciling non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts.
Excluding these highlighted items, adjusted Net earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, on a non-GAAP basis, were $1.11. On March 24, 2020, the Company suspended the guidance provided by it on February 5th, 2020 for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 due to uncertainty surrounding the impact from the COVID-19 virus and the Company's ability to assess its results due to government actions to limit the spread of the virus. On April 21, 2020, the Company provided preliminary and unaudited operating results such as revenues, gross profit, operating expenses and foreign currency losses (pending material adjustments for impairments, taxation and business interruption claim) as well as liquidity related information such as debt and cash on hand. The Company believes the results reported above remain consistent with those reported on April 21, 2020 and any differences are the result of impairments and taxation.
During the fourth quarter, we recorded impairment charges of $44.2 million, resulting from our annual impairment testing of intangible assets, including goodwill, as the fair values of our Asia reporting unit and indefinite-lived intangibles were less than their respective carrying values.
Our third quarter results were impacted by a fire in our Richmond, KY motive power facility in late September, near the end of our second quarter. We estimate the disruption from the fire resulted in $30 million of lost sales to the third quarter. By the beginning of our fourth fiscal quarter, we had largely recovered from the fire operationally, and included in our initial guidance for the fourth quarter a recovery from our business interruption claim of approximately $15 million. The progress of our claim has been slowed by the COVID-19 virus and only $5 million received on April 1, 2020 has been reflected in our reported results for the fourth quarter. We are still pursuing our claim and have received an additional $3.7 million on May 15, 2020, which will be reflected in our first quarter of fiscal 2021 along with any further funds we receive towards our claim prior to our filing that quarterly report.
These earnings compare to the prior year fourth quarter adjusted Net earnings of $1.43 per diluted share. Please refer to the section included herein under the heading “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of the Company’s use of non-GAAP adjusted financial information, which include tables reconciling GAAP and non-GAAP adjusted financial measures for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
Net sales for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 were $781.8 million, a decrease of 2% from the prior year fourth quarter net sales of $796.6 million and a 2% sequential quarterly increase from the third quarter of fiscal 2020 net sales of $763.7 million. The decrease from the prior year quarter was the result of a 3% decrease in organic volume and a 2% decrease in foreign currency translation impact, partially offset by a 3% increase from the NorthStar acquisition. The 2% sequential quarterly increase was primarily from a 2% increase in organic volume and a 1% increase in pricing, partially offset by a 1% decrease in currency translation impact.
The Company’s operating results for its business segments for the fourth quarters of fiscal 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

David M. Shaffer, President and Chief Executive Officer of EnerSys stated “As I noted in our press release on April 21st, the fourth quarter reflected good performance despite the many challenges we faced, including the direct adverse impact COVID-19 had on our factories in China and overall supply chain. Currently, all of our factories, deemed essential critical infrastructure suppliers, remain in operation with some near full capacity while others reflect lower demand, particularly those in our motive power lines of business. We have been able to meet customer demand while maintaining the safety considerations for those in our facilities and as many employees continue to work effectively from home. Orders softened from our OEM motive power and transportation customers due to their forced closures related to COVID. In the near term, additional TPPL production is being allocated to network power, defense and the startup of our premium automotive retail business. We remain optimistic about our upcoming 5G opportunities and have continued significant progress on our new small cell powering solutions. We also continue to win meaningful new defense contracts for our thermal batteries. Meanwhile, we are adjusting our cost structure to adapt to the current environment while generating strong cash flows, protecting our balance sheet and capitalizing on opportunities to increase market share.”
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, ("GAAP"). EnerSys' management uses the non-GAAP measure “adjusted Net earnings” as applicable, in their analysis of the Company's performance. This measure, as used by EnerSys in past quarters and years, adjusts Net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP to reflect changes in financial results associated with the Company's restructuring initiatives and other highlighted charges and income items. Management believes the presentation of this financial measure reflecting these non-GAAP adjustments provides important supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of the Company as distinct from results that include items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results and overall business performance; in particular, those charges that the Company incurs as a result of restructuring activities, impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles and other assets, acquisition activities and those charges and credits that are not directly related to operating unit performance, such as significant legal proceedings, ERP system implementation, amortization of Alpha and NorthStar related intangible assets and tax valuation allowance changes, including those related to the adoption of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the United States and the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV Financing in Switzerland. Because these charges are not incurred as a result of ongoing operations, or are incurred as a result of a potential or previous acquisition, they are not as helpful a measure of the performance of our underlying business, particularly in light of their unpredictable nature and are difficult to forecast.
Income tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments are calculated using the applicable statutory tax rate for the jurisdictions in which the charges (benefits) are incurred, while taking into consideration any valuation allowances. For those items which are non-taxable, the tax expense (benefit) is calculated at 0%.
This non-GAAP disclosure has limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for Net earnings 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 is it necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Management believes that this non-GAAP supplemental information will be helpful in understanding the Company's ongoing operating results. This supplemental presentation should not be construed as an inference that the Company's future results will be unaffected by similar adjustments to Net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP.
Included below is a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted financial measures to reported amounts. Non-GAAP adjusted Net earnings are calculated excluding restructuring and other highlighted charges and credits. The following tables provide additional information regarding certain non-GAAP measures:
