Insights

The Q3 results showcase impressive performance with $1.17 billion in revenue, up 10% year-over-year. Key highlights include 28% growth in residential product sales to $723 million and significant margin expansion, with gross profit margin reaching 40.2%. Net income nearly doubled to $114 million, while adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 19.8%.

Strong cash flow generation is particularly noteworthy, with operating cash flow of $212 million and robust free cash flow of $184 million. The company's share buyback program remains active, with $347 million still available. The increased full-year guidance, projecting 5-9% revenue growth and improved EBITDA margins of 17.5-18.5%, signals management's confidence in continued momentum.

The surge in power outage incidents through 2024 has created a robust demand environment for Generac's residential products. This trend, coupled with grid vulnerability concerns and the transition to renewable energy sources, establishes a strong long-term growth narrative. However, the 15% decline in C&I product sales to $328 million indicates market segmentation challenges.

The international segment's 20% revenue decline highlights geographical risks, particularly in Europe. Yet, domestic market strength, especially in home standby and portable generators, demonstrates the company's core market resilience. The recent impacts of Hurricanes Helene and Milton further validate the growing market opportunity in backup power solutions.

Return to robust overall sales growth with continued margin expansion; increasing 2024 outlook due to recent major outage events

WAUKESHA, Wis., Oct. 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE: GNRC) (“Generac” or the “Company”), a leading global designer and manufacturer of energy technology solutions and other power products, today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2024 and provided an update on its outlook for the full-year 2024.

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights

  • Net sales were $1.17 billion during the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $1.07 billion in the prior-year third quarter, an increase of approximately 10%. Core sales, which excludes both the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency, increased approximately 9% from the prior year period.
    • Residential product sales increased approximately 28% to $723 million as compared to $565 million last year.
    • Commercial & Industrial (“C&I”) product sales decreased approximately 15% to $328 million as compared to $385 million in the prior year.
  • Net income attributable to the Company during the third quarter was $114 million, or $1.89 per share, as compared to $60 million, or $0.97 per share, for the same period of 2023.
  • Adjusted net income attributable to the Company, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $136 million, or $2.25 per share, as compared to $102 million, or $1.64 per share, in the third quarter of 2023.
  • Adjusted EBITDA before deducting for noncontrolling interests, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $232 million, or 19.8% of net sales, as compared to $189 million, or 17.6% of net sales, in the prior year.
  • Cash flow from operations was $212 million during the third quarter, as compared to $140 million in the prior year. Free cash flow, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $184 million as compared to $117 million in the third quarter of 2023.
  • The Company repurchased 690,711 shares of its common stock during the third quarter for approximately $102 million. There is approximately $347 million remaining under the current repurchase program as of September 30, 2024.
  • The Company is updating its overall net sales growth guidance for the full-year 2024 to be 5 to 9% compared to the prior year on an as-reported basis, an increase from the previous guidance range of 4 to 8%. Adjusted EBITDA margin, before deducting for non-controlling interests, is now expected to be 17.5 to 18.5% as compared to the previous expectation of 17.0 to 18.0%.

“Our third quarter results outperformed our expectations as elevated power outage activity drove increased shipments of our residential products and strong execution helped to deliver significant margin expansion,” said Aaron Jagdfeld, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Shipments of home standby and portable generators increased at a very strong rate from the prior year period, more than offsetting expected softness in C&I product sales. As a result, we are updating our full year 2024 guidance to include higher residential product sales with further improvements in adjusted EBITDA margins.”

Jagdfeld continued, “The vulnerability of our nation’s electrical grid has never been more evident with the U.S. experiencing the highest level of power outage hours through the first nine months of the year since we began tracking outage data in 2010. In addition to more volatile weather, the rapid adoption of renewable, intermittent power generation sources and accelerating demand for electricity will likely lead to additional stresses on our aging grid. The elevated outage activity and growing grid related supply-demand imbalances are expected to drive both continued near-term demand as well as long-term awareness of the growing need for backup power products.”

Additional Third Quarter 2024 Consolidated Highlights

Gross profit margin was 40.2% as compared to 35.1% in the prior-year third quarter. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by favorable sales mix and lower input costs.

Operating expenses increased $32.6 million, or 12.0%, as compared to the third quarter of 2023. The growth in operating expenses was primarily driven by increased employee costs to support future growth, additional marketing spend to drive incremental awareness for our products, and higher variable expenses and incentive compensation given higher shipment volumes and profitability. This was partially offset by a $22.1 million provision for certain legal matters that was recorded in the prior year which did not repeat in the current year period.

Provision for income taxes for the current year quarter was $33.5 million, or an effective tax rate of 22.7%, as compared to $19.4 million, or a 24.3% effective tax rate, for the prior year. The decrease in effective tax rate was primarily driven by certain unfavorable discrete tax items in the prior year quarter that did not repeat in the current year.

Cash flow from operations was $212.3 million during the third quarter, as compared to $140.1 million in the prior year. Free cash flow, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $183.7 million as compared to $117.4 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher operating earnings and a greater reduction in primary working capital as compared to the prior year.

Business Segment Results

Domestic Segment

Domestic segment total sales (including inter-segment sales) increased 14% to $1.02 billion as compared to $894.0 million in the prior year, including a slight benefit from acquisitions. This was primarily driven by strong shipments of home standby and portable generators, as well as continued growth in C&I product sales to industrial distributors, partially offset by lower C&I product shipments for telecom, rental, and “beyond standby” applications.

Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $211.6 million, or 20.7% of domestic segment total sales, as compared to $160.3 million, or 17.9% of total sales, in the prior year. This margin improvement was primarily due to favorable sales mix and lower input costs, partially offset by higher operating expense investments to support future growth initiatives.

International Segment

International segment total sales (including inter-segment sales) decreased 20% to $166.7 million as compared to $207.6 million in the prior year quarter, including a slight unfavorable impact from foreign currency. The core total sales decline was primarily due to lower inter-segment sales related to softness in the telecom market and a decline in shipments of portable generators and C&I products in Europe due to weaker market conditions.

Adjusted EBITDA for the segment, before deducting for noncontrolling interests, was $20.3 million, or 12.2% of international segment total sales, as compared to $28.3 million, or 13.6% of total sales, in the prior year. This margin decline was primarily due to reduced operating leverage on lower shipments during the quarter.

2024 Outlook

As a result of higher than previously expected power outage activity, including the impact of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, the Company is increasing its full-year 2024 net sales guidance. The Company now expects full-year 2024 net sales growth between 5 to 9% as compared to the prior year, an increase from the previous outlook of 4 to 8%. By product class, this updated net sales guidance considers an outsized increase in Residential product sales, partially offset by softer market conditions for C&I and Other product sales in certain end markets and geographies.

Additionally, the Company now expects net income margin, before deducting for non-controlling interests, to be approximately 7.0 to 8.0% for the full-year 2024 as compared to the prior expectation of 6.5 to 7.5%. The corresponding adjusted EBITDA margin is now expected to be approximately 17.5 to 18.5% as compared to the previous guidance range of 17.0 to 18.0%.

The Company continues to expect strong operating and free cash flow generation for the full year, with free cash flow conversion from adjusted net income well above 100%.

Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

Core Sales

The Company references core sales to further supplement Generac's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Core sales excludes the impact of acquisitions and fluctuations in foreign currency translation. Management believes that core sales facilitates easier and more meaningful comparison of net sales performance with prior and future periods.

Adjusted EBITDA

To supplement Generac’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides the computation of Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Company, which is defined as net income before noncontrolling interests adjusted for the following items: interest expense, depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets, income tax expense, certain non-cash gains and losses including certain purchase accounting adjustments and contingent consideration adjustments, share-based compensation expense, certain transaction costs and credit facility fees, business optimization expenses, provision for certain legal and regulatory charges, certain specific provisions, mark-to-market gains and losses on a minority investment, and Adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests, as set forth in the reconciliation table below. The computation of Adjusted EBITDA is based primarily on the definition included in our Credit Agreement.

Adjusted Net Income

To further supplement Generac's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides a summary to show the computation of adjusted net income attributable to the Company. Adjusted net income attributable to the Company is defined as net income before noncontrolling interests adjusted for the following items: amortization of intangible assets, amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discount related to the Company's debt, intangible impairment charges, certain transaction costs and other purchase accounting adjustments, business optimization expenses, provision for certain legal and regulatory charges, certain specific provisions, mark-to-market gains and losses on a minority investment, other non-cash gains and losses, and adjusted net income attributable to non-controlling interests.

Free Cash Flow

In addition, the Company references free cash flow to further supplement Generac's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, plus proceeds from beneficial interests in securitization transactions, less expenditures for property and equipment, and is intended to be a measure of operational cash flow taking into account additional capital expenditure investment into the business.

The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Please see the accompanying Reconciliation Schedules and our SEC filings for additional discussion of the basis for Generac's reporting of Non-GAAP financial measures, which includes why the Company believes these measures provide useful information to investors and the additional purposes for which management uses the non-GAAP financial information.
