How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Key Terms

Core sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Free cash flow, Operating leverage

4 terms

Core sales financial

"Core sales excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures, and fluctuations in foreign currency translation."

Core sales are the revenue generated by a company's main, ongoing business activities after removing one-time or unusual items such as proceeds from asset sales, discontinued operations, or temporary boosts. Investors care because core sales show the steady, repeatable demand for a company’s products or services—like judging a store by its regular weekly receipts rather than a single big clearance sale—to better assess growth trends and future earnings potential.

Adjusted EBITDA financial

"the Company provides the computation of Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Company"

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

"defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less expenditures for property and equipment"

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.

Operating leverage financial

"primarily driven by operating leverage on higher shipments"

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.

Item 2.02               Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On October 28, 2026, Generac Holdings Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026. A copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibits) is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In the Press Release, we present certain financial information, specifically Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow, and Core Sales, which are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). We present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow, and Core Sales in the Press Release because these metrics assist us in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow, and Core Sales:

● for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and developing and refining our internal projections for future periods;

● to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies and as a supplemental tool in evaluating our performance against our budget for each period;

● in communications with our board of directors and investors concerning our financial performance;

● to evaluate prior acquisitions in relation to the existing business; and

● to evaluate comparative net sales performance in prior and future periods.

We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a benchmark for the determination of the bonus component of compensation for our senior executives under our management incentive plans.

We believe that the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow, and Core Sales offers additional financial metrics which, when coupled with U.S. GAAP results and the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of our results of operations and the factors and trends affecting our business for securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of our company. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow, and Core Sales are useful to investors for the following reasons:

● Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow, Core Sales, and similar non-GAAP measures are widely used by investors to measure a company’s operating performance without regard to items that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon financing and accounting methods, book values of assets, tax jurisdictions, capital structures and the methods by which assets were acquired; and

● by comparing our Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow, and Core Sales in different historical periods, our investors can evaluate our operating performance excluding the impact of certain items.

Generac Reports Third Quarter 2026 Results

Further momentum in the C&I segment drives significant backlog increase; Residential segment returns to strong growth in the quarter supported by lower power quality mega-trends

WAUKESHA, WISCONSIN (October 28, 2026) – 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, 2026, and provided an update on its outlook for the full year 2026.

Third Quarter 2026 Highlights

● Net sales increased 16% to a record $1.29 billion during the third quarter of 2026 as compared to $1.11 billion in the prior year third quarter. Acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency had a net favorable impact of 1% to sales growth during the quarter.

- Commercial & Industrial (“C&I”) segment external net sales increased approximately 28% to $552 million as compared to $432 million in the prior year.

- Residential segment external net sales increased approximately 9% to $743 million as compared to $682 million in the prior year.

● Net income attributable to the Company during the third quarter was $109 million, or $1.83 per share, as compared to $66 million, or $1.12 per share, for the same period of 2025.

● Adjusted net income attributable to the Company, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $151 million, or $2.54 per share, as compared to $108 million, or $1.83 per share, in the third quarter of 2025.

● Adjusted EBITDA before deducting for noncontrolling interests, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $256 million, or 19.8% of net sales, as compared to $193 million, or 17.3% of net sales, in the prior year.

● Cash flow from operations was $171 million as compared to $118 million in the prior year. Free cash flow, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $132 million as compared to $96 million in the third quarter of 2025.

● As previously disclosed during the quarter, the Company entered into an agreement with Amazon.com, Inc. that included the execution of a long-term supply agreement for backup power generators for Amazon data centers. Initial deliveries are expected to total a combined $2.4 billion in 2027 and 2028.

● The Company is maintaining its full-year 2026 net sales growth guidance in the mid-to-high teens percent range as compared to the prior year. Full-year 2026 adjusted EBITDA margin, before deducting for non-controlling interests, is now expected to be approximately 20.5 to 21.0% as compared to the previous guidance range of 20.0 to 21.0%.

“I’m incredibly proud of our team’s efforts as our third quarter results reflect an all-time record for net sales as we continued to see tremendous momentum in our C&I segment during the third quarter with significant additional commitments from data center customers providing further confidence in our position as a leading provider to this large and rapidly growing market,” said Aaron Jagdfeld, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Following the recently announced agreement with Amazon, along with other wins from both new and existing customers, our backlog for products to be sold to the data center market has now grown to approximately $4.5 billion, and we continue to execute on our previously announced capacity expansion plans that will allow us to capture this generational growth opportunity.”

Jagdfeld continued, “Additionally, our Residential segment returned to strong year-over-year growth during the quarter as the mega-trends around lower power quality supported an impressive increase in shipments of home standby and portable generators relative to the prior year period.”

Additional Third Quarter 2026 Consolidated Highlights

Gross profit margin was 39.9% as compared to 38.3% in the prior year third quarter. The increase was primarily driven by favorable price/cost impacts in the current year quarter, including lower tariff costs, partially offset by unfavorable sales mix.

Operating expenses increased by $31.6 million, or 10%, as compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increased operating expense investments to support future C&I growth, as well as higher marketing spend to drive awareness for our products and additional incentive compensation and intangible amortization expense, partially offset by lower operating expense investment in energy technology solutions.

Provision for income taxes for the current year quarter was $34.2 million, or an effective tax rate of 23.9%, as compared to $11.8 million, or a 15.0% effective tax rate, for the prior year quarter. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by certain favorable discrete tax items in the prior year quarter that did not repeat in the current year.

Cash flow from operations was $171.0 million during the third quarter, as compared to $118.4 million in the prior year. Free cash flow, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $131.7 million as compared to $96.5 million in the third quarter of 2025. This strong increase was primarily driven by higher operating earnings, partially offset by increased capital expenditures.

Third Quarter Business Segment Results

Commercial & Industrial Segment

Commercial & Industrial segment total sales increased approximately 28% to $553.0 million from $432.4 million in the prior year quarter, including an approximate 4% 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, broad-based regional growth internationally was offset by lower shipments to the domestic industrial distributor and telecom channels.

Adjusted EBITDA for the segment, before deducting for noncontrolling interests, was $69.3 million, or 12.5% of C&I total sales, as compared to $43.8 million, or 10.1% of total sales, in the prior year. This margin increase was primarily driven by operating leverage on higher shipments and the net favorable impact of acquisitions/divestitures.

Residential Segment

Residential segment total sales increased approximately 9% to $744.1 million as compared to $685.0 million in the prior year quarter. This increase was primarily driven by strong sales growth for home standby and portable generators compared to the prior year, partially offset by lower shipments of energy storage systems.

Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $200.8 million, or 27.0% of Residential segment total sales, as compared to $160.2 million, or 23.4% of Residential sales, in the prior year. This margin increase was primarily driven by favorable price/cost impacts, operating leverage given higher shipment volumes, and lower operating expense investment in energy technology solutions.

2026 Outlook

The Company is maintaining its full-year 2026 net sales growth guidance in the mid-to-high teens percent range as compared to the prior year, including an approximate 2% favorable impact from the net effect of foreign currency, acquisitions, and divestitures.

Additionally, the Company is maintaining its guidance for net income margin, before deducting for non-controlling interests, of approximately 9.0 to 10.0% for the full-year 2026. The corresponding adjusted EBITDA margin guidance is now expected to be approximately 20.5 to 21.0% as compared to the previous guidance range of approximately 20.0 to 21.0%.

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, divestitures, 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.
