Energizer holdings announces price increases across its global battery portfolio.

Energizer Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ENR) announced plans to execute broad-based price increases across its global battery business, including its alkaline, lithium, carbon zinc and rechargeable products.

The Company has notified customers in the U.S. and Canada of the increases, which are necessary to offset significant cost inflation, such as commodities, freight and labor.

The Company will implement these actions through list price changes, which will be phased in throughout fiscal 2022. The Company expects to realize the full benefit of these changes in the back half of fiscal 2022, with increasing benefit between the first and second quarters.

Combined with the recently announced price increases in auto care, the Company has now announced price increases in over 85% of its North American business. Similar price increases are expected to be announced in its international business over the balance of the year.

The Company believes that these price increases, combined with its ongoing continuous improvement efforts, will be sufficient to offset the cost inflation it expects to experience in fiscal 2022.

Based on the anticipated timing of implementation, battery pricing actions will not have an impact on the Company’s full year fiscal 2021 outlook that was disclosed with its second quarter financial results, which included the following metrics:

  • Net sales growth of 5% to 7%;
  • Adjusted gross margin rate flat versus fiscal 2020;
  • Adjusted diluted net earnings of $3.30 to $3.50;
  • Adjusted Free Cash Flow at the low-end of previously stated range of $325 to $350 million; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $620 to $640 million.

Additionally, the Company announced that it will participate in group investor meetings taking place at the RBC Capital Markets Global Consumer and Retail Conference, and expects to discuss these price increases in these meetings.
