EnerSys Announces Workforce Reduction as Part of Strategic Organizational Realignment to Support Future Growth
'Today's actions, while difficult, are necessary for EnerSys to remain competitive in our markets,' said Shawn O'Connell, President and Chief Executive Officer of EnerSys. 'We've spent the past six months listening, evaluating, and testing how we can best serve our customers, deliver stronger returns, and build a more agile organization. This decision reflects our commitment to those priorities, ensuring we have the right structure in place to operate more efficiently, optimize cross-functional collaboration, and deliver even greater value - for our customers and shareholders.
'EnerSys is powered by an incredible team, and this decision in no way reflects the dedication or contributions of the individuals impacted,' Mr. O'Connell added. 'We are committed to supporting our employees through this transition with care and respect.'
The Company expects the separations to be substantially complete by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026, subject to local law requirements. Combined with other non-headcount-related actions, these changes are expected to result in approximately $80 million in annualized savings beginning in fiscal year 2026. This estimate is comprised of approximately $70 million in savings, representing a reduction of over 10% of the Company's fiscal 2025 operating expenses as well as an estimated $10 million reduction in cost of goods sold. The Company expects to realize approximately $30 million to $35 million of savings in fiscal year 2026, with material benefits beginning in the third fiscal quarter. Estimated savings exclude one-time charges related to the restructuring, which are anticipated in the range of $15 million to $20 million with the majority occurring in the second and third quarter of fiscal 2026, primarily for severance and other related costs.
This action is part of a broader strategic plan that will be discussed during the Company's regularly scheduled fiscal first quarter 2026 earnings report, which is scheduled to be published August 6, 2025 after market close, followed by the Company's earnings conference call scheduled for August 7, 2025 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

FFAI Marks Fourth Anniversary of Nasdaq Listing with Commitment to Accelerate FX Product Execution and Delivery, Uphold 'Stockholders First' Principle, and Continue the Counterattack Against Potential Illegal Short Selling
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) ('Faraday Future', 'FF' or the 'Company'), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced the celebration of its fourth anniversary as a publicly listed company on Nasdaq. Marking this milestone, the Company reaffirmed its commitment to driving breakthroughs in both its business and capital fundamentals. FF also pledged to accelerate the execution and delivery of products under its second brand, FX, while advancing its dual-brand strategy. Upholding its 'Stockholders First' philosophy, the Company remains focused on delivering greater value to stockholders by expediting efforts to win the Counterattack Against Potential Illegal Short Selling and maximizing stockholder interests. Faraday Future Marks Fourth Anniversary with a Reversal in Both Business and Capital Fundamentals Since its successful listing in 2021, FF has remained focused on disruptive innovation in the intelligent electric mobility ecosystem and is now advancing from the AIEV era to the next-generation EAI EV era. Following the return of the founding team—including Founder YT Jia—in April this year, the Company has implemented a comprehensive 'Ten Punch Combo' transformations, achieving a qualitative leap across key areas such as product development and delivery, manufacturing, supply chain, brand building, organizational governance, and system and capability buildup. On July 17, FF successfully unveiled in Downtown Los Angeles the FX Super One, alongside the Super EAI F.A.C.E. (Front AI Communication Ecosystem), and the FF EAI Embodied AI Agent 6x4 Architecture. The debut of the FX Super One made a striking market impression, fundamentally redefining the traditional luxury executive mobility experience long dominated by models such as the Cadillac Escalade. Compared to where the Company stood at the time of its IPO four years ago, FF has now achieved a dual turnaround in both business and capital fundamentals. The Company has established a strategic framework centered around dual home markets and dual DNA in U.S. and China, while also deploying its 'Third Pole' in Middle East. Through consistent delivery on its promises, more transparent communications, and a proactive and pragmatic corporate culture, FF has regained a vote of confidence from its stockholders. Since its debut, the FX Super One has attracted significant market attention, with over 10,000 paid pre-orders from both B2B and B2C customers. FF continues to refine its Co-Creation Ecosystem Online Direct Sales system, expand its multi-channel sales strategy, and elevate brand influence. The Company's 'B2B2C' co-creation ecosystem model now covers five core sectors: FX Par (Partners), car rental companies, live e-commerce MCN agencies, real estate brokerages, and home office industry. On July 21, the Company also announced a strategic partnership with HabitTrade, a global multi-market brokerage and digital asset infrastructure platform. Through this collaboration, FF seeks to build an integrated ecosystem combining EAI mobility, Web3, blockchain technology, crypto, and stablecoin applications. This initiative aims to bridge Web2 and Web3, connect on-chain and off-chain value flows, and expand the convergence between the real and virtual economies—creating new value for both users and the industry. In addition, the Company recently completed a new round of financing commitment totaling $105 million, which is expected to nearly cover the launch requirements of the FX Super One. Global institutional investor BlackRock has increased its holdings in FFAI for four consecutive quarters, reaching 5.39 million shares, signaling growing recognition and confidence among top-tier capital in the outlook of both FF and FX. Initial Victory in the Counterattack Against Potential Illegal Short Selling; FF Reaffirms Its Commitment to Protecting Stockholder Interests Since the appointment of Founder YT Jia as FF's Co-CEO, the Company has achieved initial success in its efforts to combat potential illegal short selling. The Company previously issued a public update on the identified illegal short selling and online market manipulation targeting FFAI, noting that certain individuals and online accounts involved had issued public apologies and taken down all content suspected of contributing to such manipulative activities. Recently, the Company identified additional indications of potential illegal short selling and the deliberate dissemination of false or misleading information aimed at disrupting the market. FF has issued a legal letter to the parties involved and reserves all rights to pursue legal remedies. On the occasion of its fourth anniversary as a publicly listed company, FF reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the 'Stockholders First' philosophy and its effort to continue to closely monitor the market for signs of potential illegal short selling and will take all necessary legal and regulatory actions to defend the rights and interests of its stockholders. Any attempts to undermine FFAI or harm investor interests will be met with appropriate consequences. FF also calls on regulators and the broader investment community to remain vigilant against such bad-faith efforts to distort capital markets. The Company urges collective resistance against the malicious attacks and defamatory campaigns launched by irresponsible entities targeting innovative enterprises.

Nordic Enterprises Embrace Hybrid, Multicloud Strategies
Digital transformation, changing regulations, sustainability goals drive adoption of flexible, cloud-based IT solutions, ISG Provider Lens® report says STOCKHOLM, July 23, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nordic enterprises are increasingly investing in hybrid and multicloud environments, optimizing flexibility, scalability, cost and compliance, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm. The 2025 ISG Provider Lens® Private/Hybrid Cloud — Data Center Services report for the Nordics highlights environmental sustainability as a key focus for Nordic companies' data center strategies, which emphasize renewable energy and efficiency. Enterprises are taking advantage of the region's abundant green energy production while deploying innovations such as cooling systems enhanced with AI. "Renewable energy in the Nordics costs up to 50 percent less than the European average," said Rakesh Parameshwara, ISG lead for Banking, Financial and Insurance in the U.K., Ireland and Nordics. "This is a significant catalyst for ongoing investment in data center expansion and outsourcing." Cloud platforms ease AI integration, enabling Nordic enterprises to deploy generative AI tools and large language models to enhance operations. To meet the rising demand for real-time data processing and manage the influx of IoT devices, companies also are embracing edge computing infrastructure. This approach helps them handle advanced AI workloads and carry out digital transformation initiatives. Nordic enterprises are looking to hybrid clouds to integrate on-premises infrastructure with public and private cloud environments. This approach enhances operational efficiency by securing critical workloads and optimizes costs through on-demand services. Firms are also leveraging multicloud services to integrate offerings from multiple vendors, reducing the risk of vendor lock-in. Providers that excel in advanced automation and orchestration to efficiently manage hybrid environments are in high demand in the region. Nordic enterprises are prioritizing innovation and digital transformation, focusing on cybersecurity, talent development and collaboration with technology partners. They are capitalizing on the robust regional connectivity and proximity to European hubs to optimize latency-sensitive applications using edge computing. Nordic enterprises are also adopting comprehensive data strategies and ethical AI deployment to address siloed data and governance challenges. In these initiatives, they are working to ensure security and compliance with robust AI regulatory frameworks. Hybrid cloud deployment for AI is most common in the region's finance, healthcare and public sectors. "Nordic firms are embracing hybrid and edge computing to enhance AI capabilities and manage real-time data," said Meenakshi Srivastava, lead analyst, ISG Provider Lens Research, and lead author of the report. "This strategy improves their ability to manage complex AI tasks and supports expansive digital transformation efforts." The report also explores other cloud trends in the Nordics, including the growing use of scalable, high-density infrastructure options offered by colocation providers and the rise of hyperscaler partnerships for integrated offerings. For more insights into the cloud-related challenges faced by Nordic enterprises, along with ISG's advice for addressing them, see the ISG Provider Lens® Focal Points briefing here.
