The Bren-Tronics acquisition contributed positively to the company's performance, particularly in the Aerospace and Defense markets.

The company anticipates some short-term headwinds from stranded tariffs and shifting customer order patterns. Motive Power orders were pressured in Q4, with a 14% decline in Motive Power Americas orders year-on-year.

Q: Can you explain the EPS growth in the Q1 guidance despite flat revenues? A: Shawn O'Connell, President and COO, explained that the EPS growth is driven by favorable price/mix and the accretive benefit from the Bren-Tronics acquisition. Andrea Funk, CFO, added that despite lower volumes in Motive Power, the EPS is expected to be flat year-over-year due to these factors, offsetting pressures from FX and stranded tariff costs. Q: Why is EnerSys pausing full-year guidance despite order recovery? A: Andrea Funk, CFO, stated that the pause in guidance is due to the uncertainty surrounding reciprocal tariff negotiations. David Shaffer, CEO, added that they want to ensure clarity on these tariffs before providing full-year guidance, as they could have both positive and negative impacts. Q: What is the status of the Section 45X tax refund, and are there any delays? A: Andrea Funk, CFO, mentioned that other companies have received their refunds, and EnerSys is experiencing a delay due to IRS staffing issues. They expect to receive the refund soon, with interest accruing in the meantime. Q: What are EnerSys' plans for inorganic growth given the current economic environment? A: Shawn O'Connell, President and COO, stated that EnerSys is well-positioned with a strong balance sheet to pursue acquisitions. They see opportunities in Aerospace and Defense and are looking for targets that fit their ROIC model, despite current market uncertainties. Q: Can you provide more details on the Energy Systems segment and potential network expansions? A: Shawn O'Connell, President and COO, noted that there is a recovery in network expansions, driven by the need to address technical debt and AI traffic processing. Investments are being made in upgrading macro sites and central offices, although it's not yet at the scale of past major build-outs.
