2. Acquisition

Bren-Tronics

On July 26, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the equity of Bren-Tronics Defense LLC for the aggregate purchase price consideration of $206,024 net of cash and restricted cash acquired subject to final purchase price adjustments as set forth in the stock purchase agreement. Bren-Tronics Defense LLC, headquartered in Commack, New York, is a leading manufacturer of highly reliable portable power solutions, including small and large format lithium batteries and charging solutions, for military and defense applications. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination by applying the acquisition method of accounting.

The following table summarizes the provisional fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition:

The amounts above represent the Company's provisional fair value estimates related to the acquisition as of July 26, 2024 and are subject to subsequent adjustments as additional information is obtained during the applicable measurement period. The primary areas of estimates that are not yet finalized include certain tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the identifiable intangible assets. The purchase price was allocated to the tangible assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their acquisition date estimated fair values. The fair value of trade receivables acquired is $10,325, with gross contractual amounts being $10,325. The Company currently expects all to be collectible. The identifiable intangible assets consist of trademarks, customer relationships, and developed technology which were assigned fair values of $4,200, $63,100 and $23,200, respectively. The trade names and trademarks, customer relationships and developed technology are being amortized on a straight-line basis over weighted average useful lives of 6,13 and 12 years, respectively.

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company believes the goodwill related to the acquisition was attributable to the value of the assembled workforce as well as the collective experience of the management team with regards to its operations, customers, and industry. All acquired goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

The results of the Bren-Tronics acquisition have been included in the Company’s results of operations in the Specialty operating segment from the date of acquisition. Pro forma earnings and earnings per share computations have not been presented as this acquisition is not considered material.

3. Revenue Recognition

The Company’s revenues by reportable segments are presented in Note 18 and are consistent with how we organize and manage our operations, as well as product line net sales information.

Service revenues related to the work performed for the Company’s customers by its maintenance technicians generally represent a separate and distinct performance obligation. Control for these services passes to the customer as the services are performed.

A portion of the Company's customer arrangements oblige the Company to create customized products for its customers that require combining both products and services into a single performance obligation because the individual products and services that are required to fulfill the customer requirements do not meet the definition for a distinct performance obligation. These customized products generally have no alternative use to the Company and the terms and conditions of these arrangements give the Company the enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date, including a reasonable profit margin. For these arrangements, control transfers over time and the Company measures progress towards completion by selecting the input or output method that best depicts the transfer of control of the underlying goods and services to the customer for each respective arrangement. Methods used by the Company to measure progress toward completion include labor hours, costs incurred and units of production. Revenues recognized over time for the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 amounted to$46,197 and $68,707, respectively. Revenues recognized over time for the nine months of fiscal 2025 and 2024 amounted to $148,049 and $196,173, respectively.

On December 29, 2024, the aggregate transaction price allocated to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was approximately $123,137, of which, the Company estimates that approximately $42,573 will be recognized as revenue in fiscal 2025, $68,853 in fiscal 2026, and $11,711 in fiscal 2027.

Any payments that are received from a customer in advance, prior to the satisfaction of a related performance obligation and billings in excess of revenue recognized, are deferred and treated as a contract liability. Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized are classified as current or non-current based on the timing of when recognition of revenue is expected. As of December 29, 2024, the current and non-current portion of contract liabilities were $32,902 and $629, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the current and non-current portion of contract liabilities were $27,649 and $960, respectively. Revenues recognized during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024 that were included in the contract liability at the beginning of the quarter, amounted to $6,829 and $10,072, respectively. Revenues recognized during the nine months of fiscal 2025 and 2024 that were included in the contract liability at the beginning of the year, amounted to $9,713 and $17,600, respectively.

Amounts representing work completed and not billed to customers represent contract assets and were $70,652 and $55,363 as of December 29, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company uses historic customer product return data as a basis of estimation for customer returns and records the reduction of sales at the time revenue is recognized. At December 29, 2024, the right of return asset related to the value of inventory anticipated to be returned from customers was $4,300 and refund liability representing amounts estimated to be refunded to customers was $7,175.

4. Accounts Receivable

During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement ("RPA"), under which the Company continuously sells its interest in designated pools of trade accounts receivables, at a discount, to a special purpose entity, which in turn sells certain of the receivables to an unaffiliated financial institution ("unaffiliated financial institution") on a monthly basis. The Company may sell certain US-originated accounts receivable balances up to a maximum amount of $150,000. In return for these sales, the Company receives a cash payment equal to the face value of the receivables and is charged a fee of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 85 basis points against the sold receivable balance. The program is conducted through EnerSys Finance LLC ("EnerSys Finance"), an entity structured to be bankruptcy remote, and matures in December 2025. The Company is deemed the primary beneficiary of EnerSys Finance as the Company has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity from the transfer of the trade accounts receivables into the special purpose entity. Accordingly, EnerSys Finance is included in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Receivables sold to unaffiliated financial institutions under the program are excluded from “Accounts receivable, net” on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, and cash receipts are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. The purchase price is received in cash when the receivables are sold, and fees charged relating to this balance are recorded to other (income) expense. Certain unsold receivables held by EnerSys Finance serve as collateral to unaffiliated financial institutions. These unsold receivables are included in “Accounts receivable, net” in the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. The Company continues servicing the receivables which were sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee from EnerSys Finance under the program.

During the third quarter and the nine months of fiscal 2025, the Company sold $192,796 and $575,011, respectively, of accounts receivables for approximately $192,796 and $575,011, respectively, in proceeds to an unaffiliated financial institution, of which $192,796 and $575,011, respectively, were collected as of December 29, 2024. During the third quarter and nine months of fiscal 2024, the Company sold $156,398 and $513,161, respectively, of accounts receivables for approximately $156,398 and $513,161, respectively, in net proceeds to an unaffiliated financial institution, of which$180,446 and $542,931, respectively, were collected as of December 31, 2023. Total collateralized accounts receivables of approximately $359,804 were held by EnerSys Finance at December 29, 2024.

Any accounts receivables held by EnerSys Finance would likely not be available to other creditors of the Company in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings relating to the Company until the outstanding balances under the RPA are satisfied. Additionally, the financial obligations of EnerSys Finance to the unaffiliated financial institutions under the program are limited to the assets it owns and there is no recourse to the Company for receivables that are uncollectible as a result of the insolvency of EnerSys Finance or its inability to pay the account debtors.
