"We continue to experience record sales with broad based growth in all regions of the world and in both of our market segments. I believe that our customers realize the value and the quality of the products and services that we deliver to them every day," stated John D. Craig, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "I am pleased with our earnings in the second quarter, resulting from our increased sales volume and the impact of our investments in support of cost reductions and lower cost manufacturing facilities. Offsetting these improvements, however, are increased commodity costs, especially lead which reached an unprecedented level in our second quarter. We have not yet fully recovered the impact of these cost increases through selling price adjustments."

Craig added, "We anticipate that adjusted diluted net earnings per share for our third fiscal quarter of 2008 will be between $0.25 and $0.29, which excludes the expected additional European restructuring charges of approximately $2 million ($0.03 per share) as described in our press release of May 23, 2007."

This press release contains forward-looking statements (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that are based on management's current expectations and subject to uncertainties and changes in circumstances. The Company's actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements for a number of reasons. For a list of the factors, which could affect the Company's results, including earnings estimates, see "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," including "Forward-Looking Statements," set forth in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted 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 non-GAAP measures in their analysis of the Company's performance. These measures, as used by EnerSys in past quarters and years, adjust net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP to reflect changes in financial results associated with the Company's restructuring initiatives and highlighted charges and income items. Management believes presentations of financial measures reflecting these non-GAAP adjustments provide 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; in particular, the charges that the Company incurs as a result of restructuring activities associated with our acquisitions; and those charges and credits that are not directly related to operating unit performance and are unusual in nature. Because these charges are incurred as a result of an acquisition, they are not a valid measure of the performance of our underlying business. These disclosures have limitations as an analytical tool, should not be viewed as a substitute for net earnings determined in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP, nor are they 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 highlighted charges. The following tables provide additional information regarding certain non-GAAP measures:

This is very interesting.

I like the trends in revenues and EPS.  Nice valuation also, cheap relative to growth imo.

Yep, very reasonable right now, probably not for long. Don't forget to check out the others also though. Sometimes very expensive = very high quality.

Made this weeks IBD 100 at #98.

People really want to own this one..very large volume.

I won't chase her, but maybe a good buying opp if it pulls back to lower 20s...

Is ENS prepping for another move higher now?

Nice upside volume again.

Tryin to run again....At a new high now.

Nice find!

The 3 yr weekly chart is classic break out - and with the market being as spooked, a 38.2 fib retrace back to $19.10 area is possible




More likely, though on the 18 mo. would be a pullback to $20.13 area



Just need to be patient...

I'm going to buy some of this stock soon.  I think it's a gem.

I like the look of the chart...the way the 50 ma is.  Whenever it has a perfect look like that and the fundamentals are good, I think stocks have an enormous tendency to just ride the 50 ma up at a similar distance.  And it just keeps on pushing the stock up. .I see ENS at $40.

You're right bjc. The stock never flinched much through all the turmoil. Rising very nicely.

I hope you're in this one Sully, I neglected to buy.  Wish I did when it dipped to the low 20s like I said when I first posted in this thread!

I have some "skin" in it bjc, but I also procrastinated and then never did buy as much as I intended.

9:49AM Enersys awarded production contract by US Navy for nuclear submarine batteries (ENS) 22.80 -0.14 : Co announces that its EnerSys Energy Products subsidiary has received an initial contract award from the US Navy to produce valve regulated lead acid batteries using its proprietary thin plate pure lead technology. This award represents 100% of the US Navy's requirement under their 2007 solicitation for VRLA submarine batteries in continuation of their effort to retrofit the entire nuclear submarine fleet with VRLA batteries in place of the legacy flooded lead-acid batteries.

ENS posted earnings...after hours it is moving up.
