(2)Revenue Recognition

The Company, through its operating subsidiaries, is one of the world’s largest manufacturers, marketers and distributors of household batteries, specialty batteries and lighting products, and is a leading designer and marketer of automotive fragrance, appearance, performance and air conditioning recharge products. The Company distributes its products to consumers through numerous retail locations worldwide, including mass merchandisers and warehouse clubs, food, drug and convenience stores, electronics specialty stores and department stores, hardware and automotive centers, e-commerce and military stores. The Company sells to its customers through a combination of a direct sales force and exclusive and non-exclusive third-party distributors and wholesalers.

The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from the sale of finished product to customers. Sales predominantly contain a single delivery element, or performance obligation, and revenue is recognized at a single point in time when title, ownership and risk of loss pass to the customer. This typically occurs when finished goods are delivered to the customer or when finished goods are picked up by the carrier at origin or the customer, depending on contract terms.

The Company aggregates revenue by market, which is determined based on the predominant customer type or sales strategy utilized in the market. North America sales are generally through large retailers with nationally or regionally recognized brands.

Our International sales are comprised of modern trade, developing and distributor market groups. Modern trade, which is most prevalent in Western Europe and more developed economies throughout the world, generally refers to sales through large retailers with nationally or regionally recognized brands. Developing markets generally include sales by wholesalers or small retailers who may not have a national or regional presence. Distributors are utilized in other markets where the Company does not have a direct sales force.

Global Professional sales are "business to business" sales and include sales to original equipment manufacturers as well as industrial, medical, office and hearing aid distributors. These sales are evaluated outside of the geographic markets in which they originate. The quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2024 was recast to breakout Global Professional Market sales from the previously reported geographic market.

Supplemental product and market information is presented below for revenues from external customers for the quarters and the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

(3)Acquisitions

APS NV Acquisition - On September 24, 2024 the Company entered into a share purchase agreement to acquire all the shares of Advanced Power Solutions NV (APS NV) for a contractual purchase price of EUR 26.8, to be adjusted for closing net debt and working capital (APS NV Acquisition). On May 2, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition and the initial cash consideration transferred was EUR 13.3 (USD$15.2), after the preliminary working capital and net debt adjustments. The acquisition provides the Company with additional production capacity in Europe as well as an expanded customer base.

The APS NV Acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. After determining the preliminary fair value of the real property acquired, the allocation of the initial purchase price for the acquisition did not result in the identification of intangible assets or goodwill.

The following table outlines the preliminary purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition:

Cash and cash equivalents$2.5

Net assets acquired$15.2

The Company will continue to review the allocation of fair value to assets acquired and liabilities assumed for this acquisition, including income tax considerations.

Centralsul Acquisition -On May 8, 2024, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of Centralsul Ltda. (Centralsul), an auto appearance and fragrance manufacturer and distributor based in Southern Brazil (Centralsul Acquisition), which is expected to increase the Company's Auto Care presence in the region. The share purchase agreement (SPA) included a contractual purchase price of approximately $15, which was adjusted by Centralsul's outstanding debt, an indemnity holdback and working capital adjustments resulting in an initial cash payment of $10.6. The Company finalized the working capital adjustment in the first fiscal quarter of 2025 and paid an additional $0.1. The indemnity holdback is approximately $2 and will be used to satisfy any indemnification claims or paid out over a contractual timeline through 2027. The first indemnity holdback payment of $0.5 occurred in the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The SPA includes a potential earnout payment of up to approximately $5, as of the date of acquisition, if certain financial metrics are achieved during calendar year 2025. If achieved, the earnout will be paid in the second fiscal quarter of 2026.

The purchase price of the acquisition including the estimated earnout is $16.5. The Company has allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and has recognized goodwill of $14.6, which is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and the established distribution footprint of the Centralsul business in the region. The goodwill has been allocated to the Auto Care segment and is not deductible for tax purposes.

Belgium Acquisition-On October 27, 2023, the Company acquired certain battery manufacturing assets in Belgium from Advanced Power Solutions Belgium NV (APS Belgium) for a contractual purchase price of EUR 3.5 (Belgium Acquisition). The Company also acquired certain raw materials from APS Belgium, procured by APS Belgium on the Company's behalf to facilitate the transition, for a total acquisition purchase price of $11.6 (including value added taxes). The Company assumed a building lease as part of the acquisition and acquired these assets to provide a battery manufacturing location in Europe. The Company has recorded $0.7 of goodwill in the Battery & Lights segment, which is attributable to the workforce acquired. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

Pro Forma Financial Information- Pro forma results for the APS NV, Centralsul and Belgium Acquisitions were not considered material and, as such, are not included.

Acquisition and Integration Costs - In fiscal 2025, the Company recorded $1.3 and $4.8 of acquisition and integration costs in SG&A during the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, primarily related to legal fees and other costs associated with these acquisitions. Included in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 was expense of $0.3 and $1.1, respectively, for a purchase price earnout adjustment associated with the Centralsul Acquisition.

In fiscal 2024, the Company recorded $1.6 and $4.9 of acquisition and integration costs during the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Costs of good sold included $0.2 and $3.1 recorded in the quarter and nine months ended

June 30, 2024, respectively. The majority of this was recorded in the first fiscal quarter as the Company was awaiting the receipt of the raw materials procured on the Company's behalf by APS as part of the Belgium Acquisition. These costs were offset by $1.0 of income during the nine months ended June 30, 2024, recorded in Other items, net, from producing inventory for APS under a transaction services agreement (TSA) entered into at the closing of the transaction. No further income is expected from this TSA. The Company also recorded $1.4 and $2.8 of legal and diligence fees in Selling, general and administrative expenses related to acquisition and integration activities during the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

(4)Restructuring

Project Momentum Restructuring -In November 2022, the Board of Directors approved a profit recovery program, Project Momentum, which includes an enterprise-wide restructuring focused on recovering operating margins, optimizing our manufacturing, distribution and global supply chain networks, and enhancing our organizational efficiency throughout the Company. In July 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved an expansion to the Project Momentum profit recovery program and delegated authority to the Company's management to determine the final actions with respect to the plan. The expansion of this program included an additional year, which will allow for additional optimization of our battery manufacturing, distribution and global supply chain networks, further review of our global real estate footprint and the implementation of IT systems that will allow us to streamline our organization and fully execute the program.

Following the Belgium Acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company expanded the Project Momentum program and increased the savings and cost expectations, partially due to the impact the expanded manufacturing capacity had on the Company's battery network. It is estimated that the Company will incur total pre-tax exit-related cash operating costs associated with the program of over $180, non-cash costs of approximately $30, and capital expenditures of $80 to $90 by the end of fiscal 2025.

The pre-tax expense for charges related to the restructuring for the quarters and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are noted in the table below, and were reflected in the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income:

Costs are included in SG&A in the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

Although the Company's restructuring costs are recorded outside of segment profit, if allocated to our reportable segments, the pre-tax restructuring and related costs for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2025 would be incurred within the Battery & Lights segment in the amounts of $7.1 and $41.5 respectively, and the Auto Care segment in the amount of $0.9 and $4.4, respectively. For the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2024, the pre-tax restructuring and related costs would have been incurred within the Battery & Lights segment in the amount of $15.7 and $56.9, respectively and the Auto Care segment in the amount of $3.1 and $7.7, respectively.

(5)Segments

Operations for Energizer are managed viatwo product segments: Batteries & Lights and Auto Care. Segment performance is evaluated based on segment operating profit, exclusive of general corporate expenses (including share-based compensation costs), amortization of intangibles, impairment of intangible assets, acquisition and integration activities, restructuring and related costs, network transition costs, FY23 & FY24 production credits, litigation matters, and other items determined to be corporate in nature. Financial items, such as interest income and expense and the loss on extinguishment/modification of debt are managed on a global basis at the corporate level. The exclusion of these costs from segment results reflects management’s view on how it evaluates segment performance.

Energizer’s operating model includes a combination of standalone and shared business functions between the product segments, varying by country and region of the world. Shared functions include the sales and marketing functions, as well as human resources, IT and finance shared service costs. Energizer applies a fully allocated cost basis, in which shared business functions are allocated between segments. Such allocations are estimates, and may not represent the costs of such services if performed on a standalone basis.

Segment sales and profitability for the quarters and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are presented below:

(6) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is based on the average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the average number of shares used for the basic earnings per share calculation, adjusted for the dilutive effect of restricted stock unit (RSU) awards, performance share awards and deferred compensation equity plans.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share for the quarters and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

(in millions, except per share data)For the Quarters Ended June 30,For the Nine Months Ended June 30,

Diluted net earnings/(loss) per common share$2.13$(0.61)$2.80$(0.13)

For the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2025 there were 0.7 million and 0.3 million antidilutive RSU shares, respectively, that were excluded from the diluted net earnings per share calculation. Performance based RSU shares of 1.1 million and 0.9 million were excluded for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as the performance targets for those awards have not been achieved as of the end of the applicable periods.

For the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2024, the Company was in a net loss position and all of the 1.2 million

outstanding RSU and 1.8 million performance based RSU shares were excluded from the diluted weighted average shares

outstanding calculation as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

(7)Income Taxes

Production tax credits under the Inflationary Reduction Act -On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law. The IRA includes multiple incentives to promote clean energy and energy storage manufacturing among other provisions. The tax credits are available from calendar year 2023 to 2032 subject to phase out beginning in calendar year 2030. In December 2024, the United States Treasury issued final regulations related to the Section 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit ("production credit"), which provided updated definitions and additional guidance and examples on production credits. The production credit is a refundable tax credit for battery cells and modules manufactured in the United States, as well as a credit for electrode active material and other components produced for batteries.

Refundable tax credits are accounted for by analogy to government grants, as the taxpayer can realize the benefit regardless of whether or not they have an income tax liability. Therefore, these amounts are not considered income taxes and fall outside the scope of Topic 740, Income Tax.

The Company accounts for government assistance that is not subject to the scope of ASC 740 using a grant accounting model, by analogy to International Accounting Standards 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, and recognizes such grants when the Company has reasonable assurance that it will comply with the grant’s conditions and that the grant will be received.

Following the final regulations on Section 45X that became effective in December 2024, the Company began reviewing the potential applicability to our batteries and various components produced in the United States for application of the production credits. The Company achieved reasonable assurance over our ability to claim the production credits during the third quarter of fiscal 2025 and recognized an estimated $112.4 reduction to Cost of products sold within the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Income for the tax credit on production and sales retroactive to January 1, 2023. The credit was also reflected on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet as a reduction of income tax payable within Other current liabilities and any credit generated in excess of those liabilities is reflected in Other current assets or Other assets depending on the estimated timing of the refund or future utilization. The credit recognized in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 included an estimated $33.9 for the credit related to fiscal 2025 production and an additional $78.5 retroactive adjustment to the beginning of the effective date of the IRA, January 1, 2023.

The effective tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2025 was 6.5% and 11.5%, respectively as compared to a benefit of 23.8% and expense of 66.7% for the prior year comparative periods, respectively. The current year rates are impacted by the retroactive and current year production credits recorded in the current period.

The prior year rate was significantly impacted by the pre-tax impairment loss of $110.6 recorded in the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2024, which resulted in an income tax benefit in the prior year quarter. The nine months ended June 30, 2024 pre-tax results included the December 2023 Argentina Reform currency exchange and related losses of $22.0, which were not deductible for tax purposes and did not result in a statutory tax benefit. This partially offset the full year benefit resulting in the income tax expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2024.

Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law on July 4, 2025. The Company is reviewing the impacts of the new legislation, including any potential adjustments to future production credits, but does not expect significant changes.

(8)Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life are not amortized, but are evaluated annually for impairment as part of our annual business planning cycle in the fourth fiscal quarter, or when indicators of a potential impairment are present.

The following table sets forth goodwill by segment as of October 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025:

Batteries & LightsAuto CareTotal
Balance at October 1, 2024$897.9$148.1$1,046.0
Centralsul Acquisition—0.10.1
Cumulative translation adjustment3.90.14.0
Balance at June 30, 2025$901.8$148.3$1,050.1

Energizer had indefinite-lived intangible assets of $640.9 at June 30, 2025 and $641.6 at September 30, 2024. The difference between the periods is driven by foreign currency adjustments.

Indefinite-lived Intangible Asset Impairment

During the third quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company determined a triggering event had occurred due to missed branded sales forecasts and elevated weighted average cost of capital. As a result, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis. The result of the impairment analysis indicated the carrying values of the Rayovac and Varta trade names were greater than their fair values, resulting in indefinite-lived intangible asset non-cash impairments of $85.2 and $25.4 for the Rayovac and Varta trade names, respectively.

The quantitative estimated fair value of the Rayovac trade name was determined using the multi-period excess earnings method, which requires significant assumptions, including estimates related to revenue growth rates, gross margin rates, operating expenses (SG&A, R&D, and A&P) and discount rates. The projections for the Rayovac fair value model were generated using the brand's historical performance and long-term category projections, to determine forecasted cash flows and operating data. Specifically, revenue growth assumptions were based on historical trends and management’s expectations for future growth of the category. Gross margin rate assumptions were based on historical trends, management's cost cutting strategies, and a market place participant's production capabilities. Operating expenses were based on historical trends. The discount rate used in the trade name fair value estimate was 11.5% and was based on a weighted-average cost of capital utilizing industry market data of similar companies. The new carrying value for the Rayovac trade name is $337.0.

The quantitative estimated fair value of the Varta trade name was determined using the relief from royalty model, which requires significant assumptions, including estimates related to revenue growth rates, royalty rates, and discount rates. The revenue projections for the Varta fair value model were based on the brand's historical performance and long-term category projections. Royalty rate assumptions were determined based on branded profit levels and research of external royalty rates by third-party experts. The discount rate used in the trade name fair value estimate was 11% and was based on a weighted-average cost of capital utilizing industry market data of similar companies. The new carrying value for the Varta trade name was $11.6 as of the date of the impairment. Following the impairment, the Varta trade name was converted to a definite lived intangible asset with a 15 year useful life. The conversion increased annual amortization by approximately $0.8.

These fair value measurements fell within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, see Note 12, Financial Instruments and Risk Management.

Changes in the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets could result in impairment charges in future periods, which could be material. Additionally, certain factors have the potential to create variances in the estimated fair values of our indefinite-lived intangible assets, which also could result in material impairment charges. These factors include (i) failure to achieve forecasted revenue growth rates, (ii) failure to achieve cost cutting and margin improvement initiatives the Company is implementing, (iii) failure to meet forecasted operating expenses, or (iv) increases in the discount rate.

The Company will complete its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessment during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

(1) Changes in the USD balance of the Euro denominated 3.50% Senior Notes due in 2029 is due to movements in the currency rate year-over-year.

Credit Agreement - During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company pre-paid $22.0 of the Senior Secured Term Loan due in 2027. During the three and nine months ended 2024, the Company pre-paid $6.0 and $141.0, respectively, of the Senior Secured Term Loan due in 2027.

On March 19, 2025, the Company entered into an amended and restated agreement which extended the term of its $760 Senior Secured Term Loan (Term Loan) to 2032 and its $500 Revolving Credit Facility (Revolving Facility) to 2030. The transaction was leverage neutral and the Company paid debt issuance costs of $8.0 as of June 30, 2025 and recorded a Loss on extinguishment/modification of debt during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 of $5.2 on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. On the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Cash Flows, the financing cash inflows and outflows associated with this transaction were determined on a lender-by-lender basis for the Term Loan.

Borrowings under the Term Loan require quarterly principal payments at a rate of 0.25% of the original principal balance, or $1.9. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the option of the Company, an adjusted rate based on the Secured Overnight Finance Rate (SOFR) or the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) then in effect plus the applicable margin. The Term Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus the applicable margin. The Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative and restrictive covenants.

The Company has an interest rate swap that fixes the variable benchmark component (SOFR) at an interest rate of 1.042% on variable rate debt of $600.0. The notional value of the swap decreases by $100.0 each year on December 22nd, until its termination date on December 22, 2027. Refer to Note 12, Financial Instruments and Risk Management, for additional information on the Company's interest rate swap transactions.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $120.0 outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility and $7.6 of outstanding letters of credit. Taking into account outstanding letters of credit, $372.4 remained available under the Revolving Facility as of June 30, 2025. At both June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company's weighted average interest rate on short-term borrowings was 6.2% and 7.3%, respectively.

The prepayment during the first quarter along with the Term Loan and Revolving Facility refinancing during the second quarter resulted in a net Loss on extinguishment/modification of debt of $5.3 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025. The prepayments of the Term Loan along with a reprice of the Term Loan during fiscal 2024 resulted in a net Loss on extinguishment/modification of debt for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2024 of $1.2 and $2.1, respectively, recorded on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

Notes payable - The Company had $134.6 in Notes payable at June 30, 2025 and $2.1 at September 30, 2024. The June 30, 2025 balance was comprised of $120.0 outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Facility as well as $14.6 other borrowings, including those from foreign affiliates. The September 30, 2024, balance was comprised of other borrowings, including those from foreign affiliates, withno outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Facility.

Debt Covenants -The agreements governing the Company's debt contain certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative, negative and financial covenants and provisions relating to events of default. If the Company fails to comply with these covenants or with other requirements of these debt agreements, the lenders may have the right to accelerate the maturity of the debt. Acceleration under one of these debt agreements would trigger cross defaults to other borrowings. As of June 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the provisions and covenants associated with its debt agreements.

The counterparties to long-term committed borrowings consist of a number of major financial institutions. The Company consistently monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside ratings agencies.

Debt Maturities - Aggregate maturities of long-term debt as of June 30, 2025 are as follows:

Long-term debt
One year$7.6
Two year7.6
Three year891.3
Four year1,565.1

Total long-term debt payments due$3,201.2

(10)Supply Chain Financing

The Company has a voluntary Supplier Financing Program (the program) in collaboration with certain financial institutions that offers participating suppliers access to a third-party service which allows them to view scheduled payments online and enables them the ability to request payment of their invoices from the financial institutions earlier than the negotiated terms with the Company. The Company is not a party to the negotiations or agreements reached between participating suppliers and third-party financial institutions. The Company's obligations, including the amounts due and payment terms, remain unaffected by our suppliers’ decision to participate in the program. The Company does not provide any form of guarantee or assume any liability in connection with the agreements between our suppliers and the third-party financial institutions involved in the program.

As of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, the Company had $55.9 and $52.5, respectively, of outstanding supplier obligations confirmed as valid under the program which are included within Accounts payable on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheets.

(11)Pension Plans

The Company has several defined benefit pension plans covering many of its employees in the U.S. and certain employees in other countries. The plans provide retirement benefits based on various factors including years of service and in certain circumstances, earnings. Most plans are now frozen to new entrants and for additional service.

The Company’s net periodic pension cost for these plans are as follows:

The service cost component of the net periodic cost above is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income, while the remaining components are recorded to Other items, net.

The Company also sponsors or participates in a number of other non-U.S. pension arrangements, including various retirement and termination benefit plans, some of which are required by local law or coordinated with government-sponsored plans, which are not significant in the aggregate and, therefore, are not included in the information presented above.

(12)Financial Instruments and Risk Management

The market risk inherent in the Company's operations creates potential earnings volatility arising from changes in currency rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company's policy allows derivatives to be used only for identifiable exposures and, therefore, the Company does not enter into hedges for trading or speculative purposes where the sole objective is to generate profits.

Concentration of Credit Risk—The counterparties to derivative contracts consist of a number of major financial institutions and are generally institutions with which the Company maintains lines of credit. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts through brokers nor does it trade derivative contracts on any other exchange or over-the-counter markets. Risk of currency positions and mark-to-market valuation of positions are strictly monitored at all times.

The Company continually monitors positions with, and credit ratings of, counterparties both internally and by using outside rating agencies. While nonperformance by these counterparties exposes Energizer to potential credit losses, such losses are not anticipated.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to commodity price and foreign currency risks. The section below outlines the types of derivatives that existed at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, as well as the Company's objectives and strategies for holding these derivative instruments.

Commodity Price Risk—The Company uses raw materials that are subject to price volatility. At times, the Company uses hedging instruments to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with future purchases of certain materials and commodities.

Foreign Currency Risk—A significant portion of Energizer’s product cost is more closely tied to the U.S. dollar than to the local currencies in which the product is sold. As such, a weakening of currencies relative to the U.S. dollar results in margin declines unless mitigated through pricing actions, which are not always available due to the economic or competitive environment. Conversely, a strengthening in currencies relative to the U.S. dollar can improve margins. The primary currencies to which Energizer is exposed include the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar. However, the Company also has significant exposures in many other currencies which, in the aggregate, may have a material impact on the Company's operations.

Additionally, Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries enter into internal and external transactions that create nonfunctional currency balance sheet positions at the foreign subsidiary level. These exposures are generally the result of intercompany purchases, intercompany loans and, to a lesser extent, external purchases, and are revalued in the foreign subsidiary’s local currency at the end of each period. Changes in the value of the non-functional currency balance sheet positions in relation to the foreign subsidiary’s local currency results in a transaction gain or loss recorded in Other items, net on the Consolidated (Condensed) Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. The primary currency to which Energizer’s foreign subsidiaries are exposed is the U.S. dollar.

Interest Rate Risk—The Company has interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. At June 30, 2025, the Company had variable rate debt outstanding of $880.0 under the Term Loan and Revolving Facility.

The Company has an interest rate swap that fixes the variable benchmark component (SOFR) at an interest rate of 1.042% on variable rate debt of $600.0. The notional value of the swap decreases by $100.0 each year on December 22nd, until its termination date on December 22, 2027. The notional value of the swap was $600.0 at June 30, 2025.

Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedging Relationships—The Company has entered into a series of forward currency contracts to hedge the cash flow uncertainty of the forecasted payment of inventory purchases due to short term currency fluctuations. Energizer’s foreign affiliates, which have the largest exposure to U.S. dollar purchases, have the Euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Australian dollar as their local currencies. These foreign currencies represent a significant portion of Energizer's foreign currency exposure. At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, Energizer had an unrealized pre-tax loss of $7.7 and $4.6, respectively, on these forward currency contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheets. Assuming foreign exchange rates versus the U.S. dollar remain at June 30, 2025 levels, over the next 12 months, $7.5 of the pre-tax loss included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be recognized in earnings. Contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal year 2026. There were 58 open foreign currency contracts at June 30, 2025, with a total notional value of approximately $152.

The Company has entered into hedging contracts on future zinc purchases to reduce exposure to variability in cash flows associated with price volatility. The contracts are determined to be cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting. The contract maturities for these hedges extend into fiscal 2026. There were 16 open contracts at June 30, 2025, with a total notional value of approximately $31. The Company had an unrealized pre-tax loss of $0.8 and gain of $4.0 on these hedges at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, and was included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet.

At June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, Energizer recorded an unrealized pre-tax gain of $29.8 and $39.8, respectively, on the Interest rate swap agreement, both of which were included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated (Condensed) Balance Sheet.

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships—Energizer enters into foreign currency derivative contracts, which are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes, to hedge existing balance sheet exposures. Any gains or losses on these contracts are expected to be offset by corresponding exchange losses or gains on the underlying exposures, and as such are not subject to significant market risk. There were eight open foreign currency derivative contracts which are not designated as cash flow hedges at June 30, 2025, with a total notional value of approximately $141.

The following table provides the Company's estimated fair values as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, and the amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments classified as cash flow hedges for the quarter and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively:

Fair Value Hierarchy—Accounting guidance on fair value measurements for certain financial assets and liabilities requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions or external inputs from inactive markets.

Under the fair value accounting guidance hierarchy, an entity is required to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, as of June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024 that are measured on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy:

Level 2
(Liabilities)/Assets at estimated fair value:June 30,2025September 30,2024
Deferred compensation$(19.5)$(21.7)
Derivatives - Foreign Currency contracts(7.7)(4.6)
Derivatives - Foreign Currency contracts (non-hedge)2.42.9
Derivatives - Interest Rate Swap29.839.8
Derivatives - Zinc contracts(0.8)4.0
Net Assets at estimated fair value$4.2$20.4

Energizer had no Level 1 or Level 3 financial assets or liabilities, other than pension plan assets, at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024. The Company does measure certain assets and liabilities, such as Goodwill and Other intangibles, at fair value on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. During the third fiscal quarter of 2024, the Company identified a triggering event, which resulted in a fair value assessment on some of our indefinite-lived intangibles. The Company recorded indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges of $110.6, as the fair values measured for the Rayovac and Varta trade name intangible assets were lower than the carrying values. These losses were recorded as Impairment of intangible assets in the Consolidated (Condensed) Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. Refer to Note 8 Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional information.There were no Level 3 fair value measurement gains or losses recognized during the quarters or nine months ended June 30, 2025.

Due to the nature of cash and cash equivalents, carrying amounts on the balance sheets approximate estimated fair value. The estimated fair value of cash was determined based on Level 1 inputs and cash equivalents and restricted cash are determined based on Level 2 inputs.

At June 30, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Company's unfunded deferred compensation liability is determined based upon the quoted market prices of investment options that are offered under the plan. The estimated fair value of foreign currency contracts, interest rate swap and zinc contracts, as described above, is the amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the contracts, considering first, quoted market prices of comparable agreements, or in the absence of quoted market prices, such factors as interest rates, currency exchange rates and remaining maturities.

At June 30, 2025, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $2,354.3 compared to its carrying value of $2,441.2, and at September 30, 2024, the fair market value of fixed rate long-term debt was $2,305.5 compared to its carrying value of $2,398.8. The estimated fair value of the long-term debt is estimated using yields obtained from independent pricing sources for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The estimated fair value of fixed rate long-term debt has been determined based on Level 2 inputs.

(15)Legal proceedings/contingencies and other obligations

Legal proceedings/contingencies -In 2023, three purported class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and Wal-Mart Inc. in the Northern District of California alleging that the defendants conspired to inflate the prices of certain Energizer battery and lighting products (the “Products”) charged by the Company to other retailers and to prevent other retailers from charging consumers prices below Wal-Mart’s pricing, in violation of antitrust and consumer protection laws. The matters were filed on behalf of putative classes of entities that purchased the Products directly from Energizer, persons who purchased the Products directly from a Wal-Mart brick-and-mortar store, and persons who indirectly purchased the Products (other than for resale). All three lawsuits have been consolidated. The plaintiffs seek, among other things, monetary damages, costs and disbursements, reasonable attorneys’ fees, as well as injunctive relief. The Company has not recorded any accruals in its consolidated financial statements as the likelihood of a loss from these cases is not probable nor estimable at this time. The Company believes that it has substantial defenses against the claims and intends to vigorously defend against them.

In addition to the matter above, the Company and its affiliates are subject to a number of legal proceedings in various jurisdictions arising out of its operations. Many of these legal matters are in preliminary stages and involve complex issues of law and fact, and may proceed for protracted periods of time. The amount of liability, if any, from these proceedings cannot be determined with certainty. The Company and its affiliates are a party to legal proceedings and claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. The Company reviews its legal proceedings and claims, regulatory reviews and inspections and other legal proceedings on an ongoing basis and follows appropriate accounting guidance when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Based upon present information, the Company believes that its liability, if any, arising from such pending legal proceedings, asserted legal claims and known potential legal claims which are likely to be asserted, is not reasonably likely to be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, when taking into account established accruals for estimated liabilities.

Other obligations- In the ordinary course of business, the Company also enters into supply and service contracts. These contracts can include either volume commitments or fixed expiration dates, termination provisions and other standard contractual considerations. At June 30, 2025, the Company had approximately $3.3 of purchase obligations under these contracts.
