Insights

Generac's Q1 shows robust 15% residential growth but the company lowered full-year guidance, citing tariff and economic uncertainty.

Generac's Q1 2025 results showcase a company with strong current performance but increasing uncertainty about the future. Net sales increased 6% to $942 million, exceeding internal expectations primarily due to residential product strength which surged 15% to $494 million. This growth was likely fueled by execution on higher demand created by elevated power outage activity in 2024, as noted by CEO Aaron Jagdfeld.

The profitability metrics show substantial improvement. Net income jumped 69% to $44 million ($0.73 per share), while adjusted net income rose 42% to $75 million ($1.26 per share). Gross profit margin expanded impressively to 39.5% from 35.6% in Q1 2024, driven by favorable sales mix and lower input costs.

However, the outlook contains concerning signals. Management revised full-year 2025 net sales growth guidance downward to 0-7% from the previous 3-7%, introducing the possibility of flat year-over-year sales. Similarly, adjusted EBITDA margin expectations were lowered to 17.0-19.0% from 18.0-19.0%. Management explicitly cited trade policy uncertainty, tariff impacts, and macroeconomic concerns as the driving factors.

Cash flow metrics weakened considerably, with operating cash flow declining to $58.2 million from $111.9 million and free cash flow dropping to $27.2 million from $85.1 million. The company attributed this mainly to working capital increases, including replenishment of residential product inventories. Despite this cash flow reduction, Generac maintained its share repurchase program, buying back 716,685 shares for approximately $97 million.

Significant residential energy technology sales growth offset by C&I weakness; management focused on mitigating tariff impacts through pricing and supply chain initiatives.

Generac's Q1 results reveal divergent performance across its energy technology portfolio. Home standby generators showed robust growth, with overall residential product sales increasing 15% year-over-year. This strength reflects the continued consumer response to power reliability concerns following elevated outage activity in 2024. Energy technology solutions also experienced significant growth, demonstrating increasing market acceptance of Generac's expanded clean energy offerings.

In contrast, Commercial & Industrial product sales declined 5% to $337 million. This decrease was primarily driven by lower shipments to national rental accounts and reduced "beyond standby" applications. However, there were bright spots within the C&I segment, including growth in shipments to national telecom customers and industrial distributors, suggesting uneven demand across commercial sectors.

The tariff concerns highlighted by management are particularly relevant for an energy technology manufacturer like Generac, which relies on global supply chains for key components. CEO Aaron Jagdfeld outlined a three-pronged approach to addressing these challenges: higher pricing, supply chain initiatives, and cost reduction efforts. This suggests potential supply chain restructuring and possibly accelerated localization of manufacturing to mitigate tariff impacts.

Importantly, management's commentary about "lower power quality and higher power prices" continuing as secular trends indicates their belief in the long-term demand drivers for their residential and commercial backup power solutions, despite near-term uncertainty. The company's global footprint shows mixed results, with strong residential performance in Latin America offset by softness in C&I shipments across most global markets.

04/30/2025 - 06:00 AM

WAUKESHA, Wis., April 30, 2025 (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 first quarter ended March 31, 2025 and provided an update on its outlook for the full-year 2025.

First Quarter 2025 Highlights

Net sales increased 6% to $942 million during the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $889 million in the prior-year first quarter. The net effect of acquisitions and foreign currency had a slight favorable impact during the quarter.
- Residential product sales increased approximately 15% to $494 million as compared to $429 million last year.
- Commercial & Industrial (“C&I”) product sales decreased approximately 5% to $337 million as compared to $354 million in the prior year.
Net income attributable to the Company during the first quarter was $44 million, or $0.73 per share, as compared to $26 million, or $0.39 per share, for the same period of 2024.
Adjusted net income attributable to the Company, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $75 million, or $1.26 per share, as compared to $53 million, or $0.88 per share, in the first quarter of 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA before deducting for noncontrolling interests, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $150 million, or 15.9% of net sales, as compared to $127 million, or 14.3% of net sales, in the prior year.
Cash flow from operations was $58 million as compared to $112 million in the prior year. Free cash flow, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $27 million as compared to $85 million in the first quarter of 2024.
The Company repurchased 716,685 shares of its common stock during the first quarter for approximately $97 million. There is approximately $250 million remaining under the current repurchase program as of March 31, 2025.
The Company is updating its overall net sales growth guidance for the full-year 2025 to be 0 to 7% over the prior year as compared to the previous guidance range of 3 to 7%. Adjusted EBITDA margin, before deducting for non-controlling interests, is now expected to be 17.0 to 19.0% as compared to the previous guidance range of 18.0 to 19.0%.

“First quarter results exceeded our expectations as a result of continued strong growth in residential product sales,” said Aaron Jagdfeld, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Home standby generator shipments increased at a robust rate during the quarter as we executed on the continued higher demand created by elevated outage activity in 2024, and residential energy technology sales also grew significantly from the prior year. In addition, continued strong gross margins led adjusted EBITDA well ahead of our prior expectations.”

Jagdfeld continued, “While near-term visibility has been impacted by trade policy and macroeconomic uncertainty, we remain confident in our enterprise strategy and believe the secular trends of lower power quality and higher power prices will continue well into the future. As we attempt to mitigate the significant impact of tariffs in the immediate term, we are taking specific actions across the organization through higher pricing, various supply chain initiatives, and other cost reduction efforts over the coming quarters.”

Additional First Quarter 2025 Consolidated Highlights

Gross profit margin was 39.5% as compared to 35.6% in the prior-year first quarter. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by favorable sales mix and realization of lower input costs.

Operating expenses increased $38.8 million, or 15.6%, as compared to the first quarter of 2024. The growth in operating expenses was primarily driven by increased employee costs to support future growth across the business, higher marketing spend to drive incremental awareness for our products, and ongoing operating expenses related to recent acquisitions.

Provision for income taxes for the current year quarter was $14.2 million, or an effective tax rate of 24.3%, as compared to $12.0 million, or a 31.2% 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 period that did not repeat in the current year.

Cash flow from operations was $58.2 million during the first quarter, as compared to $111.9 million in the prior year. Free cash flow, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $27.2 million as compared to $85.1 million in the first quarter of 2024. The change in free cash flow was primarily driven by an increase in working capital during the current year quarter, which included the replenishment of certain residential product finished goods inventories, partially offset by higher operating earnings.

Business Segment Results

Domestic Segment

Domestic segment total sales (including inter-segment sales) increased approximately 9% to $782.3 million as compared to $720.5 million in the prior year, including an approximate 2% benefit from acquisitions. The 7% core total sales increase was primarily driven by higher sales of home standby generators and energy technology solutions, as well as growth in C&I product shipments to national telecom customers and industrial distributors. This growth was partially offset by lower C&I product sales to national rental accounts and other direct customers for “beyond standby” applications.

Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $122.5 million, or 15.7% of domestic segment total sales, as compared to $99.2 million, or 13.8% of total sales, in the prior year. This margin improvement was primarily driven by favorable sales mix and lower input costs, partially offset by increased operating expense investments to support future growth.

International Segment

International segment total sales (including inter-segment sales) decreased slightly to $185.5 million from $186.7 million in the prior year quarter, including an approximate 5% unfavorable impact from foreign currency. The approximate 5% core total sales growth for the segment was primarily driven by strength in residential product shipments in Latin America as well as higher inter-segment sales to the U.S. market, partially offset by softer C&I shipments in most global end markets that we serve.

Adjusted EBITDA for the segment, before deducting for noncontrolling interests, was $27.0 million, or 14.6% of international segment total sales, as compared to $28.0 million, or 15.0% of total sales, in the prior year. This slight margin decline was primarily driven by unfavorable sales mix and higher operating expenses during the quarter.

2025 Outlook

As a result of higher tariff levels, uncertain government policy actions, and a potentially softer global macroeconomic environment, the range of forecasted outcomes for our business has expanded relative to our prior guidance. Due to these factors, the Company is widening its guidance ranges for key financial metrics for the full year 2025. This updated outlook assumes that current tariff levels remain in place for the remainder of the year.

The Company now expects full-year 2025 net sales growth to be between 0 to 7% compared to the prior year, which includes an approximate 1% favorable impact from foreign currency and acquisitions. This compares to our previous guidance range of 3 to 7% net sales growth compared to the prior year as price increases have the potential to be more than offset by lower shipment volumes.

Additionally, the Company now expects net income margin, before deducting for non-controlling interests, to be approximately 6.5 to 8.5% for the full-year 2025. The corresponding adjusted EBITDA margin is now expected to be approximately 17.0 to 19.0% compared to our previous guidance range of 18.0 to 19.0%. This updated guidance range considers the potential impact of unfavorable operating leverage on lower shipment volumes, while the estimated impact of higher tariffs is expected to be fully offset by pricing actions and supply chain initiatives.

The Company continues to expect strong free cash flow for the full year, with free cash flow conversion from adjusted net income between 70 to 90%.

Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

Core Sales

The Company references core sales to further supplement Generac's 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 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. The provision for legal and regulatory charges adjusts for matters that are significant and are not part of the ordinary routine litigation or regulatory matters incidental to the Company’s business, such as class action lawsuits, government inquiries, and certain intellectual property litigation. The adjustments to net income in computing Adjusted EBITDA are 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 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 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.
