EnerSys announced that it has realigned its previous four operating segments into a three-segment operating model designed to better serve customers and enhance organizational focus, beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027.

"The realignment and renaming of our segments reinforces our position as a leading provider of end-to-end stored energy solutions for our diverse, growing, specialized end markets," said Shawn O'Connell, President and Chief Executive Officer of EnerSys. "Our updated segment names, with an emphasis on solutions, highlights our focus on supporting our customers beginning from the design and implementation process, and continuing through to managing data, uptime, and system performance. The Company's guidance for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027, ending June 28, 2026, and issued on May 20, 2026, is unchanged and not impacted by the segment realignment.
