(Neutral)
Tags

Generac (NYSE: GNRC) reported second quarter 2026 net sales of $1.17 billion, up 11% year over year, driven by a 29% increase in Commercial & Industrial (C&I) sales to $556 million, while Residential sales declined 2% to $617 million.

Net income attributable to the company rose to $143 million ($2.40 per diluted share) from $74 million ($1.25). Adjusted net income was $174 million ($2.91 per share), and adjusted EBITDA reached $291 million, or 24.8% of sales, versus 17.7% a year ago, including a pre-tax $71 million benefit from tariff refunds. Operating cash flow increased to $121 million and free cash flow to $63 million.

Generac highlighted rapid growth in data center demand, citing a global supply agreement with a hyperscale customer that commits nearly $700 million of 2027 volume and a second global supply agreement signed June 24. Data center product backlog has expanded to approximately $1.6 billion. For 2026, the company maintained net sales growth guidance in the mid-to-high teens and raised net income margin guidance to 9.0–10.0% and adjusted EBITDA margin guidance to 20.0–21.0%, largely reflecting tariff refunds.

Key Terms

adjusted ebitda, free cash flow, hyperscale, operating leverage
4 terms
adjusted ebitda financial
"Adjusted EBITDA before deducting for noncontrolling interests"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
View in glossary
hyperscale technical
"global supply agreement with a leading hyperscale data center operator"
Hyperscale describes the ability of a system or operation to grow rapidly and handle extremely large amounts of work or data. It’s like a massive factory that can quickly expand its production capacity to meet soaring demand. For investors, hyperscale indicates a business’s potential to scale efficiently, often leading to increased growth and profitability.
operating leverage financial
"drives robust sales increase and operating leverage during the quarter"
Operating leverage measures how much a company's profits are affected by changes in sales volume. When a business has high operating leverage, small increases in sales can lead to much larger increases in profit, much like a lever amplifies force. It matters to investors because it indicates how sensitive a company's earnings are to fluctuations in sales, affecting risk and potential returns.

Further C&I segment acceleration drives robust sales increase and operating leverage during the quarter; Rapidly increasing data center backlog provides visibility to significant 2027 growth

WAUKESHA, Wis., July 29, 2026 (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 second quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provided an update on its outlook for the full year 2026.

Second Quarter 2026 Highlights

  • Net sales increased 11% to $1.17 billion during the second quarter of 2026 as compared to $1.06 billion in the prior year second quarter. Acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency had a net favorable impact of 2% to sales growth during the quarter.
    • Commercial & Industrial (“C&I”) segment external net sales increased approximately 29% to $556 million as compared to $431 million in the prior year.
    • Residential segment external net sales decreased approximately 2% to $617 million as compared to $631 million in the prior year.
  • Net income attributable to the Company during the second quarter was $143 million, or $2.40 per share, as compared to $74 million, or $1.25 per share, for the same period of 2025.
  • Adjusted net income attributable to the Company, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $174 million, or $2.91 per share, as compared to $97 million, or $1.65 per share, in the second quarter of 2025.
  • Adjusted EBITDA before deducting for noncontrolling interests, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $291 million, or 24.8% of net sales, as compared to $188 million, or 17.7% of net sales, in the prior year.
  • Net income, adjusted net income, and adjusted EBITDA all include a pre-tax impact of approximately $71 million related to tariff refunds that were recorded during the current year quarter.
  • Cash flow from operations was $121 million as compared to $72 million in the prior year. Free cash flow, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $63 million as compared to $14 million in the second quarter of 2025.
  • As previously disclosed during the quarter, the Company signed a global supply agreement with a leading hyperscale data center operator to supply backup power generators for the company's data center infrastructure. In addition, product specific terms related to this agreement were recently finalized, which committed nearly $700 million of volume for 2027.
  • On June 24th, the Company secured a global supply agreement with a second hyperscale customer and is currently negotiating final product specific terms for 2027 and 2028 volumes.
  • During the quarter, the Company completed the previously disclosed acquisition of Enercon, headquartered in East Peoria, Illinois, and acquired an additional facility in Belvidere, Illinois, significantly expanding capacity for large megawatt generator packaging.
  • The Company is maintaining its full-year 2026 net sales growth guidance of mid-to-high teens percent range as compared to the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin, before deducting for non-controlling interests, is now expected to be approximately 20.0 to 21.0%, reflecting an approximate 1.5% impact from tariff refunds for the full year 2026. This is an increase from the previous guidance range of 18.5 to 19.5%.

“Second quarter results reflect continued momentum in our C&I segment driven by strong data center market revenue as we continue to ramp production for large megawatt backup generators,” said Aaron Jagdfeld, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We continued to solidify our position as a leading provider to the data center market by securing a global supply agreement with a second hyperscale customer during the quarter. In addition, we increased our backlog for both hyperscale and non-hyperscale customers as we have received approximately $1 billion in additional orders from both new and existing customers since our prior update. In total, our backlog for products serving the data center market has now increased to approximately $1.6 billion as of today, which does not include any committed volumes from the second hyperscale customer. To address this accelerating demand, we are investing aggressively in incremental production and packaging capacity for large megawatt generators and are planning to add further capacity as our pipeline of opportunities materializes.”

Additional Second Quarter 2026 Consolidated Highlights

Gross profit margin was 44.5% as compared to 39.3% in the prior year second quarter. The increase was primarily driven by tariff refunds which contributed approximately 6% to gross margin during the quarter. Additionally, unfavorable sales mix and higher input costs were partially offset by favorable price realization.

Operating expenses increased by $6.4 million, or 2%, as compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increased operating expense investments to support future C&I growth and higher intangible amortization, partially offset by lower legal expenses in the current year.

Provision for income taxes for the current year quarter was $46.7 million, or an effective tax rate of 24.6%, as compared to $15.4 million, or a 17.2% effective tax rate, for the prior year. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily related to a non-recurring favorable discrete item in the prior year period that did not repeat in the current year.

Cash flow from operations was $121.2 million during the second quarter, as compared to $72.2 million in the prior year. Free cash flow, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $62.9 million as compared to $14.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. This strong increase in free cash flow during the quarter was primarily driven by higher operating earnings, including cash receipts from tariff refunds.

Second Quarter Business Segment Results

Commercial & Industrial Segment

Commercial & Industrial segment total sales increased approximately 29% to $556.5 million from $430.6 million in the prior year quarter, including an approximate 6% net favorable impact to sales growth from the combination of acquisitions, divestitures, and foreign currency. The core total sales growth for the segment was primarily driven by ramping revenue from products sold into the global data center market. In addition, increased shipments to rental and telecom channel customers were more than offset by a decrease in shipments to the domestic industrial distributor channel.

Adjusted EBITDA for the segment, before deducting for noncontrolling interests, was $81.5 million, or 14.6% of C&I total sales, as compared to $53.3 million, or 12.4% of total sales, in the prior year. This margin increase was primarily driven by an impact from tariff refunds of approximately 2%, as well as the favorable impact of acquisitions/divestitures and improved operating leverage, offset by an unfavorable sales mix shift and strategic operating expense investments to support future growth.

Residential Segment

Residential segment total sales decreased approximately 2% to $621.3 million as compared to $634.7 million in the prior year quarter. This modest sales decrease was primarily driven by lower energy storage system and portable generator shipments compared to the prior year, mostly offset by growth in home standby generator sales.

Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $215.4 million, or 34.7% of Residential segment total sales, as compared to $146.4 million, or 23.1% of Residential sales, in the prior year. This increase was primarily driven by tariff refunds which impacted margins by approximately 9%, as well as favorable sales mix and operational efficiencies resulting in lower operating expenses.

2026 Outlook

Total net sales growth is still expected to be in the mid-to-high teens percent range as compared to the prior year, which includes an approximate 2% favorable impact from the net effect of foreign currency, acquisitions, and divestitures. C&I segment sales are now expected to grow in the low 30% range during the year as a result of continued significant momentum in the data center market, and Residential segment sales are now projected to increase in the high-single digit range from the prior year.

Additionally, the Company now expects net income margin, before deducting for non-controlling interests, to be approximately 9.0 to 10.0% for the full-year 2026, as compared to the previous guidance of 8.0 to 9.0%. The corresponding adjusted EBITDA margin is now expected to be approximately 20.0 to 21.0%, as compared to the previous guidance of 18.5 to 19.5%. This increased outlook is primarily due to the tariff refund included in the second quarter, which is expected to have an approximate 1.5% impact for the full year 2026.

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 (loss) before noncontrolling interests adjusted for the following items: interest expense, depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets, income tax expense (benefit), 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 not part of the ordinary routine litigation or regulatory matters incidental to the Company’s business, such as large suits and settlements, class action lawsuits, government inquiries and certain intellectual property litigation. The adjustments to net income (loss) 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 (loss) 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, 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.
