(Unaudited)

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Founded in 1959, Generac Holdings Inc. (the Company) is a leading designer and manufacturer of energy solutions and other power products. As an industry leader serving residential, light commercial and industrial markets, the Company’s products and solutions are available globally through a broad network of independent dealers, distributors, retailers, wholesalers and equipment rental companies, as well as sold direct to certain end user customers.

Over the years, the Company has executed a number of acquisitions that support its strategic plan (as discussed in Item 1 of the Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended December 31, 2018). A summary of acquisitions affecting the reporting periods presented include:

In June 2018, the Company acquired Selmec Equipos Industriales, S.A. de C.V. (Selmec), headquartered in Mexico City, Mexico. Selmec is a designer and manufacturer of industrial generators ranging from 10kW to 2,750kW. Selmec offers a market-leading service platform and specialized engineering capabilities, together with robust integration, project management and remote monitoring services.

In February 2019, the Company acquired a majority share of Captiva Energy Solutions Private Limited (Captiva). Captiva, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Kolkata, India, specializes in customized industrial generators.

In March 2019, the Company acquired Neurio Technology Inc. (Neurio), founded in 2005 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. Neurio is a leading energy data company focused on metering technology and sophisticated analytics to optimize energy use within a home or business.

In April 2019, the Company acquired Pika Energy, Inc. (Pika), founded in 2010 and located in Westbrook, Maine. Pika is a manufacturer of battery storage technologies that capture and store solar or grid power for homeowners and businesses and is also a manufacturer of advanced power electronics, software and controls for smart energy storage and management.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries that are consolidated in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). All intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 have been prepared by the Company and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operation and cash flows have been made. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Standards Accounting Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016 - 13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326 ) : Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which represents a new credit loss standard that will change the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other financial instruments. Specifically, this guidance will require entities to utilize a new “expected loss” model as it relates to trade and other receivables. In addition, entities will be required to recognize an allowance for estimated credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities, regardless of the length of time that a security has been in an unrealized loss position. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact that the adoption of this guidance may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

6

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

On April 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018 - 15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. This guidance was issued to address the diversity in practice related to the accounting for costs of implementation activities performed in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The Company adopted this standard prospectively, impacting all implementation costs incurred after adoption. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016 - 02, Leases . This guidance was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet and by disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted this standard using the modified retrospective approach as of the date of adoption, meaning no prior period balances were impacted by the adoption. Additionally, the Company elected to adopt the standard using the package of practical expedients permitted under the standard’s transition guidance, which allowed the Company to carryforward its historical lease classifications, and embedded lease and initial direct cost assessments. The adoption of the standard had a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet primarily related to the recognition of right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. However, the adoption did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income and statement of cash flows. Refer to Note 9, “Leases,” for further information regarding the Company’s leases.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018 - 02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . This guidance was issued to address the impact of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from the 2017 U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) on items recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). This guidance allows companies to reclassify to retained earnings the stranded tax effects lodged in AOCI as a result of the Tax Act. Upon adoption of the ASU, the Company elected to not reclassify the stranded income tax effects from AOCI to retained earnings.

There are several new accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB. Each of these pronouncements, as applicable, has been or will be adopted by the Company. Management does not believe any of these accounting pronouncements has had or will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2 . Acquisitions

Acquisition of Pika

On April 26, 2019, the Company acquired Pika for a purchase price, net of cash acquired, of $ 49,068 . The acquisition purchase price was funded solely through cash on hand.

The Company recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation during the second quarter of 2019 based upon its estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. As a result, the Company recorded approximately $ 55,986 of intangible assets, including $ 23,286 of goodwill recorded in the Domestic segment, as of the acquisition date. The goodwill ascribed to the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Pika from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2019. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on a preliminary valuation performed to determine the fair value of the net assets as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation is subject to further analysis and review, primarily around the review and final valuation of acquired intangible assets.

Acquisition of Neurio

On March 12, 2019, the Company acquired Neurio for a purchase price of $ 59,071 , net of cash acquired and inclusive of a deferred payment of $ 7,922 which was made during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The acquisition purchase price was funded solely through cash on hand.

The Company recorded a preliminary purchase price allocation in the second quarter of 2019 based upon its estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. As a result, the Company recorded approximately $ 58,511 of intangible assets, including $ 24,011 of goodwill recorded in the Domestic segment, as of the acquisition date. Substantially all of the goodwill ascribed to this acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Neurio from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2019. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price is based on a preliminary valuation performed to determine the fair value of the net assets as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation is subject to further analysis and review, primarily around the review and final valuation of acquired intangible assets.

7

Acquisition of Selmec

On June 1, 2018, the Company acquired Selmec for a purchase price of $ 79,972 , net of cash acquired and inclusive of estimated earnout payments of $ 14,902 . The acquisition purchase price was funded solely through cash on hand.

The Company finalized the Selmec purchase price allocation during the second quarter of 2019 based upon its estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. As a result, the Company recorded approximately $ 79,826 of intangible assets, including approximately $ 46,196 of goodwill recorded in the International segment, as of the acquisition date. The goodwill ascribed to the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of Selmec from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2019.

Overall, the net sales contribution from all non-annualized acquisitions to the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 was $ 4,814 and $ 32,018 , respectively.

3. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

On March 1, 2016, the Company acquired a 65 % ownership interest in PR Industrial S.r.l. and its subsidiaries (Pramac). The 35 % noncontrolling interest in Pramac had an acquisition date fair value of $ 34,253 , and was recorded as a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as the noncontrolling interest holder had within its control the right to require the Company to redeem its interest in Pramac. In February 2019, the Company amended its agreement with the noncontrolling interest holder of Pramac, extending the agreement by five years, allowing the Company to exercise its call option rights in partial increments at certain times during the five year period, and providing that the noncontrolling interest holder no longer holds the right to put its shares to the Company until April 1, 2021.

The redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at the greater of the initial fair value, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interests’ share of comprehensive income (loss), or the estimated redemption value, with any adjustments to the redemption value impacting retained earnings, but not net income. However, the redemption value adjustments are reflected in the earnings per share calculation, as detailed in Note 14, “Earnings Per Share,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The following table presents the changes in the redeemable noncontrolling interest:

Balance at end of period

$ 56,564 $ 59,897 $ 56,564 $ 59,897

4 . Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company records all derivatives in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 815, Derivatives and Hedging , which requires derivative instruments to be reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The Company is exposed to market risk such as changes in commodity prices, foreign currencies and interest rates. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The Company periodically utilizes commodity derivatives and foreign currency forward purchase and sales contracts in the normal course of business. Because these contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting, the related gains and losses are recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. These gains and losses are not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

8

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements in October 2013 and one interest rate swap agreement in May 2014, all of which expired in July 2018. In 2017, the Company entered into twenty interest rate swap agreements, sixteen of which are still outstanding as of September 30, 2019. The Company formally documented all relationships between interest rate hedging instruments and the related hedged items, as well as its risk-management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions. These interest rate swap agreements qualify as cash flow hedges and therefore, the effective portions of the gains or losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amount of losses, net of tax, recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $( 2,721 ) and $( 14,898 ), respectively. The amount of gains, net of tax, recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $ 1,626 and $ 10,403 , respectively. The cash flows of the swaps are recognized as adjustments to interest expense each period. The ineffective portions of the derivatives’ changes in fair value, if any, are immediately recognized in earnings.

Fair Value

The following table presents the fair value of all of the Company’s derivatives:

Commodity contracts

$ ( 172 ) $ ( 160 )

Foreign currency contracts

( 302 ) ( 117 )

Interest rate swaps

( 11,826 ) 8,307

The fair value of the commodity and foreign currency contracts is included in other accrued liabilities, and the fair value of the interest rate swaps is included in other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2019. The fair values of the commodity and foreign currency contracts are included in other accrued liabilities, and the fair value of the interest rate swaps is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018. Excluding the impact of credit risk, the fair value of the derivative contracts as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is a liability of $ 12,498 and an asset of $ 8,220 , respectively, which represent the amount the Company would pay/receive upon exit of the agreements on those dates.

5 . Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 - 10, Fair Value Measurement , defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring basis or nonrecurring basis. ASC 820 - 10 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the pronouncement establishes a three -tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1 ) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2 ) inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3 ) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company believes the carrying amount of its financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term borrowings and ABL facility borrowings), excluding Term Loan borrowings, approximates the fair value of these instruments based upon their short-term nature. The fair value of Term Loan borrowings, which have an aggregate carrying value of $ 861,231 , was approximately $ 881,198 (Level 2 ) at September 30, 2019, as calculated based on independent valuations whose inputs and significant value drivers are observable.

For the fair value of the derivatives measured on a recurring basis, refer to the fair value table in Note 4, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The fair value of all derivative contracts is classified as Level 2. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of derivative contracts, all of which have counterparties with high credit ratings, were based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair value of derivative contracts above considers the Company’s credit risk in accordance with ASC 820 - 10.

7 . Segment Reporting

The Company has two reportable segments for financial reporting purposes - Domestic and International. The Domestic segment includes the legacy Generac business and the acquisitions that are based in the U.S. and Canada, all of which have revenues that are substantially derived from the U.S. and Canada. The International segment includes the Ottomotores, Tower Light, Pramac, Motortech and Selmec businesses, all of which have revenues that are substantially derived from outside of the U.S and Canada. Both reportable segments design and manufacture a wide range of power generation equipment and other power products. The Company has multiple operating segments, which it aggregates into the two reportable segments, based on materially similar economic characteristics, products, production processes, classes of customers, distribution methods and regional considerations.

10

The Company's product offerings consist primarily of power generation equipment and other power products geared for varying end customer uses. Residential products and commercial & industrial (C&I) products are each a similar class of products based on similar power output and end customer. The breakout of net sales between residential, C&I, and other products by reportable segment is as follows:

Residential products consist primarily of automatic home standby generators ranging in output from 6kW to 60kW, portable generators, energy storage solutions, power washers and other outdoor power equipment. These products are sold through independent residential dealers, national and regional retailers, e-commerce merchants, electrical/HVAC/solar wholesalers and outdoor power equipment dealers. The residential products revenue consists of the sale of the product to our distribution partners, which in turn sell or rent the product to the end consumer, including installation and maintenance services. In some cases, residential products are sold direct to the end consumer. Substantially all of the residential products revenues are transferred to the customer at a point in time.

C&I products consist of larger output stationary generators used in various C&I applications and fueled by diesel, natural gas, liquid propane and bi-fuel, with power outputs ranging from 10kW up to 3,250kW for single engine sets. Also included in C&I products are mobile generators, light towers, mobile heaters and mobile pumps. These products are sold through industrial power generation distributors and dealers, equipment rental companies and equipment distributors. The C&I products revenue consists of the sale of the product to our distribution partners, which in turn sell or rent the product to the end customer, including installation and maintenance services. In some cases, C&I products are sold direct to the end customer. Substantially all of the C&I products revenues are transferred to the customer at a point in time.

11

Other products consist primarily of aftermarket service parts and product accessories sold to our dealers, and the amortization of extended warranty deferred revenue. The aftermarket service parts and product accessories are generally transferred to the customer at a point in time, while the extended warranty revenue is recognized over the life of the contract.

In accordance with ASU 2014 - 09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , extended warranty revenues are reported within net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Previously, these amounts were reported net within selling and service expense on the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, in amounts that were not material. To report extended warranty in accordance with ASU 2014 - 09, the net sales and gross profit amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2018 have been revised by $ 2,873 and $ 2,449 , respectively, and the net sales and gross profit amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 have been revised by $ 7,962 and $ 6,604 , respectively, from the amounts previously reported in the Company’s third quarter 2018 Form 10 -Q, with equal offsets to selling and service expenses. The revisions impacted the Domestic segment and the Other product class. There was no impact to income from operations, net income or comprehensive income, earnings per share, the condensed consolidated balance sheets, the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, or the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Management evaluates the performance of its segments based primarily on Adjusted EBITDA, which is reconciled to Income before provision for income taxes below. The computation of Adjusted EBITDA is based on the definition contained in the Company’s credit agreements.

Total property and equipment included capital leases of $ 20,158 at December 31, 2018, primarily comprised of buildings and improvements. Amortization of capital leases is recorded within depreciation expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The initial measurement of capital leases is accounted for as a non-cash item in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Refer to Note 9, “Leases,” for further information regarding the Company’s accounting for leases under ASC 842, Leases , in 2019.

9. Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. The Company recognizes a right of use ("ROU") asset and lease liability at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As the Company’s leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rate is used to determine the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is a collateralized rate determined based on the lease term, the Company’s credit rating, and other market information available at the commencement date. The ROU asset also includes any lease payments made prior to the commencement date and is reduced by any lease incentives. The lease term may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, while lease expense for finance leases is recognized as depreciation and interest expense using the effective interest method. The Company’s variable lease expense generally consists of property tax and insurance payments that are variable in nature, however, these amounts are immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company has lease agreements with both lease and nonlease components, which it elected to account for as a single lease component. However, the Company did not elect to apply the recognition exception for short-term leases. The Company is applying these elections to all asset classes.

The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, office space, warehouses, automobiles, machinery and computer equipment globally under both finance and operating leases. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of up to 20 years, of which certain leases, primarily within the buildings and improvements asset class, include options to extend the leases for up to 10 additional years. Further, the Company leases certain buildings from a noncontrolling interest holder, which the Company has determined to be arms’ length transactions.

13

The Company is a lessor of one building that it leases to a third party. The lease income related to this arrangement is not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company records its operating lease cost and amortization of finance lease ROU assets within cost of goods sold or operating expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income depending on the cost center of the underlying asset. The Company records its finance lease interest cost within interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Additionally, the Company sells extended warranty coverage for certain products, which it accounts for as a service warranty. The sales of extended warranties are recorded as deferred revenue, and typically have a duration of five to ten years. The deferred revenue related to extended warranty coverage is amortized over the duration of the extended warranty contract period, following the standard warranty period, using the straight-line method. Revenue is recognized on extended warranty contracts when the revenue recognition criteria are met, resulting in ratable recognition over the contract term. The amortization of deferred revenue is recorded to net sales in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The following is a tabular reconciliation of the deferred revenue related to extended warranty coverage:

The Company’s credit agreements originally provided for a $ 1,200,000 term loan B credit facility (Term Loan) and currently include a $ 300,000 uncommitted incremental term loan facility. The maturity date of the Term Loan is May 31, 2023. The Term Loan is guaranteed by all of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, and is secured by associated collateral agreements which pledge a first priority lien on virtually all of the Company’s assets, including fixed assets and intangibles, other than all cash, trade accounts receivable, inventory, and other current assets and proceeds thereof, which are secured by a second priority lien. The Term Loan initially bore interest at rates based upon either a base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75 % or adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75 %, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75 %. The Term Loan agreement has been amended a number of times since inception.

In June 2018, the Company amended the Term Loan, which further reduced the applicable margin rates to base rate plus a fixed applicable margin of 0.75 % or adjusted LIBOR rate plus a fixed applicable margin of 1.75 %.

The Term Loan does not require an Excess Cash Flow payment if the Company’s secured leverage ratio is maintained below 3.75 to 1.00 times. As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s net secured leverage ratio was 1.61 to 1.00 times, and the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Term Loan. There are no financial maintenance covenants on the Term Loan.

The Company’s credit agreements also originally provided for a senior secured ABL revolving credit facility (ABL Facility). Borrowings under the ABL Facility are guaranteed by all of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, and are secured by associated collateral agreements which pledge a first priority lien on all cash, trade accounts receivable, inventory, and other current assets and proceeds thereof, and a second priority lien on all other assets, including fixed assets and intangibles of the Company and certain domestic subsidiaries. ABL Facility borrowings initially bore interest at rates based upon either a base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.00 % or adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.00 %, in each case, subject to adjustments based upon average availability under the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility agreement has been amended a number of times since inception.

17

In June 2018, the Company amended the ABL Facility; increasing it from $ 250,000 to $ 300,000 and extending the maturity date to June 12, 2023. In addition, the ABL Facility amendment modified the pricing by reducing certain applicable interest rates to either a base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.375 % or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.375 %.

As of September 30, 2019, there was $ 28,479 outstanding under the ABL Facility, leaving $ 271,171 of availability, net of outstanding letters of credit.

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, short-term borrowings consisted of borrowings by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries on local lines of credit and the ABL Facility, which totaled $ 66,985 and $ 45,583 , respectively.

13 . Stock Repurchase Program

In August 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $ 200,000 stock repurchase program, which the Company completed in the third quarter of 2016. In October 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved another $ 250,000 stock repurchase program, which expired in the fourth quarter of 2018. In September 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved another stock repurchase program, which commenced in October 2018, and under which the Company may repurchase an additional $ 250,000 of its common stock over the following 24 months. The Company may repurchase its common stock from time to time, in amounts and at prices the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions and other considerations. The repurchases may be executed using open market purchases, privately negotiated agreements or other transactions. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the program will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common stock and general market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements, and compliance with the terms of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness. The repurchases may be funded with cash on hand, available borrowings or proceeds from potential debt or other capital markets sources. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company repurchased 560,000 shares of its common stock for $ 25,656 , funded with cash on hand. There were no share repurchases during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Since the inception of the above noted programs, the Company has repurchased 8,676,706 shares of its common stock for $ 305,547 , all funded with cash on hand.

1 4 . Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, exclusive of restricted shares. Except where the result would be anti-dilutive, diluted earnings per share is calculated by assuming the vesting of unvested restricted stock and the exercise of stock options. Refer to Note 3, “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest” for further information regarding the accounting for redeemable noncontrolling interests.

The following table reconciles the numerator and the denominator used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share:

1 5 . Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 22.8 % and 23.3 %, respectively. Both years were impacted by certain discrete tax items driven by US tax reform legislation, the Tax Act as well as the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions where the Company operates.

16. Benefit Plans

In June 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved a resolution to terminate the Company’s defined benefit pension plan (the Pension Plan). After this approval, during the second quarter of 2019, the Company commenced the plan termination process.  In the third quarter of 2019, the Company received regulatory approval and amended the Pension Plan to provide eligible participants the choice of a lump sum or annuity payment.  While there are many factors that may impact the timing of the plan termination, the Company expects to complete the lump sum payments and the transfer of the remaining Pension Plan assets to a third -party administrator during the fourth quarter of 2019. Termination of the Pension Plan will not result in a reduction of benefits to plan participants.  The decision to terminate the Pension Plan follows the Company’s decision in 2008 to freeze benefits being accrued under the previous noncontributory salaried and hourly pension plans, which were merged into one plan effective December 31, 2018. Upon settlement of the pension liability, the Company will reclassify any related pension losses currently recorded in AOCL, to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had unrecognized losses related to the Pension Plan of $ 10,541 recorded in AOCL. The Company will recognize this loss upon termination of the Pension Plan, adjusted for the total required payout to plan participants which will be determined based on employee elections and market conditions present at the time of termination.

1 7 . Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has an arrangement with a finance company to provide floor plan financing for certain dealers. The Company receives payment from the finance company after shipment of product to the dealer. The Company participates in the cost of dealer financing up to certain limits and has agreed to repurchase products repossessed by the finance company, but does not indemnify the finance company for any credit losses they incur. The amount financed by dealers which remained outstanding under this arrangement at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was approximately $ 52,217 and $ 47,200 , respectively.

In the normal course of business, the Company is named as a defendant in various lawsuits in which claims are asserted against the Company. In the opinion of management, the liabilities, if any, which may result from such lawsuits are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Overview

We are a leading global designer and manufacturer of a wide range of energy solutions and other power products serving the residential, light commercial and industrial markets. Power products and solutions are our primary focus, which differentiates us from our main competitors that also have broad operations outside of the power equipment market. As the only significant market participant focused predominantly on these products, we have one of the leading market positions in the power equipment market in North America and an expanding presence internationally. We believe we have one of the widest ranges of products in the marketplace, including residential, commercial and industrial standby generators, as well as portable and mobile generators used in a variety of applications. Other power products that we design and manufacture include battery storage systems to augment alternative energy sources; light towers which provide temporary lighting for various end markets; commercial and industrial mobile heaters and pumps used in the oil & gas, construction and other industrial markets; and a broad product line of outdoor power equipment for residential and commercial use.

Business D rivers and O perational F actors

In operating our business and monitoring its performance, we pay attention to a number of business drivers and trends as well as operational factors. The statements in this section are based on our current expectations.

Busine ss D rivers and T rends

Our performance is affected by the demand for reliable power generation products, mobile product solutions and other power products by our customer base. This demand is influenced by several important drivers and trends affecting our industry, including the following:

Increasing penetration opportunity . Many potential customers are still not aware of the costs and benefits of automatic backup power solutions. We estimate that penetration rates for home standby generators are only approximately 4.5% of U.S. single-family detached, owner-occupied households with a home value of over $100,000, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau's 2017 American Housing Survey for the United States. The decision to purchase backup power for many light-commercial buildings such as convenience stores, restaurants and gas stations is more return-on-investment driven and as a result, these applications have relatively lower penetration rates as compared to buildings used in code-driven or mission critical applications such as hospitals, wastewater treatment facilities, 911 call centers, data centers and certain industrial locations. The emergence of lower cost, cleaner burning natural gas-fueled generators has helped to increase the penetration of standby generators over the past decade in the light-commercial market. In addition, the installed base of backup power for telecommunications infrastructure is still increasing due to the growing importance for uninterrupted voice and data services, in particular as 5G networks roll-out. We believe by expanding our distribution network, continuing to develop our product line and targeting our marketing efforts, we can continue to build awareness and increase penetration for our standby generators for residential, commercial and industrial purposes.

Table of Contents

Effect of large scale and baseline power disruptions . Power disruptions are an important driver of customer awareness for back-up power and have historically influenced demand for generators, both in the United States and internationally. Increased frequency and duration of major power outage events, that have a broader impact beyond a localized level, increases product awareness and may drive consumers to accelerate their purchase of a standby or portable generator during the immediate and subsequent period, which we believe may last for six to twelve months following a major power outage event for standby generators. For example, the major outage events that occurred during the second half of 2017 drove strong demand for portable and home standby generators, and the increased awareness of these products contributed to strong revenue growth in both 2017 and 2018. In addition, demand for home standby generators is currently increasing in the California market due to the threat of utility shut-offs that could cause major power outage events in the future. Major power disruptions are unpredictable by nature and, as a result, our sales levels and profitability may fluctuate from period to period. In addition, there are smaller, more localized power outages that occur frequently across the United States that drive the baseline level of demand for back-up power solutions. The level of baseline power outage activity occurring across the United States can also fluctuate, and may cause our financial results to fluctuate from year to year.

Impact of residential investment cycle . The market for residential generators is also affected by the residential investment cycle and overall consumer confidence and sentiment. When homeowners are confident of their household income, the value of their home and overall net worth, they are more likely to invest in their home. These trends can have an impact on demand for residential generators. Trends in the new housing market highlighted by residential housing starts can also impact demand for our residential generators. Demand for outdoor power equipment is also impacted by several of these factors, as well as weather precipitation patterns.

Impact of business capital investment cycles. The global market for our commercial and industrial products is affected by different capital investment cycles, which can vary across the numerous regions around the world in which we participate. These markets include non-residential building construction, durable goods and infrastructure spending as well as investments in the exploration and production of oil & gas, as businesses or organizations either add new locations or make investments to upgrade existing locations or equipment. These trends can have a material impact on demand for these products. The capital investment cycle may differ for the various commercial and industrial end markets that we serve including light commercial, retail, office, telecommunications, industrial, data centers, healthcare, construction, oil & gas and municipal infrastructure, among others. The market for these products is also affected by general economic and geopolitical conditions as well as credit availability in the geographic regions that we serve. In addition, we believe demand for our mobile power products will continue to benefit from a secular shift towards renting versus buying this type of equipment.

Factors A ffecting R esults of O perations

We are subject to various factors that can affect our results of operations, which we attempt to mitigate through factors we can control, including continued product development, expanded distribution, pricing, cost control and hedging. Certain operational and other factors that affect our business include the following:

Effect of commodity, currency and component price fluctuations. Industry-wide price fluctuations of key commodities, such as steel, copper and aluminum, along with other components we use in our products, as well as changes in labor costs required to produce our products, can have a material impact on our results of operations. Also, acquisitions in recent years have further expanded our commercial and operational presence outside of the United States. These international acquisitions, along with our existing global supply chain, expose us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and regulatory tariffs that can have a material impact on our results of operations.

We have historically attempted to mitigate the impact of any inflationary pressures through improved product design and sourcing, manufacturing efficiencies, price increases and select hedging transactions. Our results are also influenced by changes in fuel prices in the form of freight rates, which in some cases are accepted by our customers and in other cases are paid by us.

Seasonality. Although there is demand for our products throughout the year, in each of the past five years approximately 20% to 24% of our net sales occurred in the first quarter, 22% to 25% in the second quarter, 24% to 28% in the third quarter and 27% to 29% in the fourth quarter, with different seasonality depending on the occurrence, timing and severity of major power outage activity in each year. Major outage activity is unpredictable by nature and, as a result, our sales levels and profitability may fluctuate from period to period. The seasonality experienced during a major power outage, and for the subsequent quarters following the event, will vary relative to other periods where no major outage events occurred. We maintain a flexible production and supply chain infrastructure in order to respond to outage-driven peak demand.

Factors influencing interest expense and cash interest expense. Interest expense can be impacted by a variety of factors, including market fluctuations in LIBOR, interest rate election periods, interest rate swap agreements, repayments or borrowings of indebtedness, and amendments to our credit agreements. Interest expense increased slightly during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to increased short term borrowings and higher interest rates, partially offset by lower interest rate spreads resulting from Term Loan and ABL Facility amendments in June 2018 and new interest rate swaps beginning in July 2018. Refer to Note 12, “Credit Agreements,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Factors influencing provision for income taxes and cash income taxes paid. We had approximately $347 million of tax-deductible goodwill and intangible asset amortization remaining as of December 31, 2018 related to our acquisition by CCMP Capital Advisors, LLC in 2006 that we expect to generate aggregate cash tax savings of approximately $90 million through 2021, assuming continued profitability of our U.S. business and a combined federal and state tax rate of 26%. The recognition of the tax benefit associated with these assets for tax purposes is expected to be $122 million annually through 2020 and $102 million in 2021, which generates annual cash tax savings of $32 million through 2020 and $26 million in 2021. Based on current business plans, we believe that our cash tax obligations through 2021 will be significantly reduced by these tax attributes, after which our cash tax obligation will increase. Other domestic acquisitions have resulted in additional tax deductible goodwill and intangible assets that will generate tax savings, but are not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions. Over the years, we have executed a number of acquisitions that support our strategic plan. A summary of the recent acquisitions can be found in Note 1, “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and in Item 8 (Note 1, “Description of Business”) of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Recent Updates

The Company recently completed two acquisitions – Neurio Technology, Inc. (“Neurio,” acquired on March 12, 2019) and Pika Energy, Inc. (“Pika,” acquired on April 26, 2019). Neurio is a leading energy data company focused on metering technology and sophisticated analytics to optimize energy use within a home or business. Pika is a manufacturer of energy storage technologies that capture and store solar or grid power for homeowners or business owners. Together, these acquisitions provide the Company with the technology to enter the rapidly developing market for energy management and storage. By combining Generac’s strong distribution, brand, and market creation capabilities with Neurio’s valuable energy monitoring technologies and Pika’s expertise in energy storage, we believe we are well positioned to offer a new, differentiated line of products and solutions to help homeowners and business owners reduce their overall energy costs.

Further information on these recent acquisitions can be found in Note 1, “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation,” and Note 2, “Acquisitions” to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Net sales. The increase in Domestic sales for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to strong growth in shipments of home standby generators, as well as strong C&I stationary generator shipments primarily driven by natural gas and telecom related products. The overall Domestic segment growth was partially offset by lower shipments of C&I mobile products. Core sales growth for the Domestic segment, which excludes the impact of the Neurio and Pika acquisitions, was approximately 8.5%.

International sales for the three months ended September 30, 2019 decreased 3.1% compared to the prior year quarter. Core sales for the International segment, which excludes the impact of the Captiva acquisition and the unfavorable impact of currency, was approximately flat compared to the prior year.

Overall, the net sales contribution from non-annualized recent acquisitions to the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $4.8 million.

Gross profit. Gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2019 was 36.2% compared to 35.6% in the prior year third quarter. Pricing actions, favorable sales mix and lower realized commodity and currency input costs were partially offset by increased regulatory tariffs.

Operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by additional employee headcount related to strategic initiatives, higher marketing and promotional spend, recurring operating expenses from recent acquisitions and higher intangible amortization expenses.

Other expense. The increase in Other expense, net was primarily driven by an increase in interest expense.

Provision for income taxes. The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 21.1% and 20.8%, respectively. Both years were impacted by certain discrete tax items driven by US tax reform legislation, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 as well as the earnings mix of the Company in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

23

Table of Contents

Net income attributable to Generac Holdings Inc . The slight decrease was primarily driven by the incremental earnings from the previously mentioned sales growth, offset by additional operating expense investment.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the Domestic segment was $121.2 million, or 24.3% of net sales, as compared to $117.1 million, or 25.7% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. Pricing initiatives and favorable sales mix, improved commodity and currency input costs, and fixed operating cost leverage were more than offset by increased regulatory tariffs and higher operating expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA for the International segment, before deducting for non-controlling interests, was $4.7 million, or 4.6% of net sales, as compared to $7.4 million, or 6.9% of net sales, in the prior year. Unfavorable sales mix and incremental operating expense investment contributed to the decline.

Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted Net Income of $90 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased 1.0% from $89.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, due to the factors outlined above.

See “Non-GAAP Measures” for a discussion of how we calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income and the limitations on their usefulness.

Net sales. The increase in Domestic sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to strong growth in shipments of home standby generators, as well as strong C&I stationary generator shipments, compared to the prior year period. Additionally, the Pika and Neurio acquisitions provided a modest contribution in 2019. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in sales of portable generators and C&I mobile products.

The increase in International sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to continued market share gains and further execution of synergies in certain markets around the world. This increase in sales was also driven by the Selmec and Captiva acquisitions, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign currency impact.

Overall, the net sales contribution from all non-annualized recent acquisitions to the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $32.0 million.

Gross profit. Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 35.7% compared to 35.7% in the prior year period. The gross profit margin was impacted by a favorable sales mix shift towards higher margin home standby generator sales and price increases implemented since the prior year period, fully offset by the impact of recent acquisitions and the realization of higher input costs, including regulatory tariffs, logistics costs, labor rates, and commodities.

Operating expenses. The increase in Operating expenses was primarily driven by incremental variable operating expense on the strong sales growth, recurring operating expenses from recent acquisitions, an increase in employee headcount related to strategic initiatives, higher marketing and promotional spend and higher intangible amortization expenses.

Other expense. The decrease in Other expense, net was primarily due to the $1.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt recorded in the second quarter of 2018 resulting from a $50.0 million voluntary prepayment of Term Loan debt that did not repeat in the current year, as well as an increase in investment income compared to prior year.

Provision for income taxes. The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 22.8% and 23.3%, respectively. Both years were impacted by certain discrete tax items driven by US tax reform legislation, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 as well as the earnings mix of the Company in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Net income attributable to Generac Holdings Inc. The increase was primarily driven by higher operating earnings as outlined above and a lower effective tax rate recorded during the current year period.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the Domestic segment was $306.7 million, or 23.9% of net sales, as compared to $273.2 million in the prior year, or 23.9% of net sales. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the current year benefited from favorable sales mix, pricing initiatives, and fixed operating cost leverage on the higher sales volumes. These favorable impacts were offset by higher input costs, including regulatory tariffs, increased employee costs, higher marketing and promotional spend, and recurring operating expenses from recent acquisitions.

Adjusted EBITDA for the International segment, before deducting for non-controlling interests, was $18.2 million, or 5.5% of net sales, as compared to $25.3 million in the prior year, or 8% of net sales. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA margin as compared to the prior year was primarily due to unfavorable sales mix, higher input costs, and incremental operating expense investments.

Adjusted Net Income . Adjusted Net Income of $221.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased 8.5% from $204.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 due to the factors outlined above, partially offset by an increase in cash income tax expense.

See “Non-GAAP Measures” for a discussion of how we calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income and the limitations on their usefulness.

Liquidity and F inancial Condition

Our primary cash requirements include payment for our raw material and component supplies, salaries and benefits, facility and lease costs, operating expenses, interest and principal payments on our debt and capital expenditures. We finance our operations primarily through cash flow generated from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under our ABL Facility.

Our credit agreements originally provided for a $1.2 billion Term Loan and include a $300.0 million uncommitted incremental term loan facility. The Term Loan matures on May 31, 2023, and bears interest at rates based upon either a base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.75% or adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75%. The Term Loan does not require an Excess Cash Flow payment if the Company’s secured leverage ratio is maintained below 3.75 to 1.00 times. As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s secured leverage ratio was 1.61 to 1.00 times, and the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Term Loan. There are no financial maintenance covenants on the Term Loan.

Our credit agreements also provide for the $300.0 million ABL Facility. The maturity date of the ABL Facility is June 12, 2023. As of September 30, 2019, there were $28.5 million of borrowings outstanding and $271.2 million of availability under the ABL Facility, net of outstanding letters of credit. We are in compliance with all covenants of the ABL Facility as of September 30, 2019.

In August 2015, our Board of Directors approved a $200.0 million stock repurchase program, which we completed in the third quarter of 2016. In October 2016, our Board of Directors approved a new $250.0 million stock repurchase program, which expired in the fourth quarter of 2018. In September 2018, the Board of Directors approved another stock repurchase program, which commenced in October 2018, and under which we may repurchase an additional $250.0 million of common stock over 24 months from time to time; in amounts and at prices we deem appropriate, subject to market conditions and other considerations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we repurchased 560,000 shares of our common stock for $25.7 million. There were no share repurchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Since the inception of all programs, we have repurchased 8,676,706 shares of our common stock for $305.5 million, all funded with cash on hand.

See Note 12, “Credit Agreements” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Long-term L iquidity

We believe that our cash flow from operations and availability under our ABL Facility and other short-term lines of credit, combined with our favorable tax attributes (which result in a lower cash tax rate as compared to the U.S. statutory tax rate) provide us with sufficient capital to continue to grow our business in the future. We will use a portion of our cash flow to pay interest and principal on our outstanding debt as well as repurchase shares of our common stock, impacting the amount available for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. As we continue to expand our business, we may require additional capital to fund working capital, capital expenditures or acquisitions.

The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by higher working capital investments, partially offset by an increase in operating earnings as compared to the prior year period.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily represents cash payments of $120.9 million related to the acquisition of businesses and $45.4 million related to the purchase of property and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily represents cash payments of $71.9 million related to the acquisition of businesses and $25.6 million for the purchase of property and equipment.

Table of Contents

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily represents cash proceeds of $68.8 million from short-term borrowings and $8.0 million from the exercise of stock options. These cash proceeds were partially offset by $48.5 million of debt repayments ($45.4 million of short-term borrowings and $3.1 million of long-term borrowings and finance lease obligations) and $5.7 million of taxes paid for the exercise of equity awards.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily represents $63.6 million of debt repayments ($51.1 million of long-term borrowings and $12.5 million of short-term borrowings), $25.7 million cash used for the repurchase of our common stock, and $2.8 million of taxes paid for the exercise of equity awards. These payments were partially offset by cash proceeds of $79.8 million from borrowings ($51.4 million long-term and $28.3 million short-term) and $5.2 million from the exercise of stock options.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations since the February 26, 2019 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Off- B alance S heet A rrangements

There have been no material changes to off-balance sheet arrangements since the February 26, 2019 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Critical A ccounting P olicies

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies since the February 26, 2019 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, in preparing the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that have an impact on the asset, liability, revenue and expense amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information disclosures of the Company, including information about contingencies, risk and financial condition. The Company believes, given current facts and circumstances, its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, adhere to U.S. GAAP, and are consistently applied. Inherent in the nature of an estimate or assumption is the fact that actual results may differ from estimates and estimates may vary as new facts and circumstances arise. The Company makes routine estimates and judgments in determining net realizable value of accounts receivable, inventories, property and equipment, prepaid expenses, product warranties and other reserves. Management believes the Company’s most critical accounting estimates and assumptions are in the following areas: goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessment; business combinations and purchase accounting; defined benefit pension obligations and income taxes.

Non-GAAP M easures

Adjusted EBITDA

The computation of Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Generac Holdings Inc. is based on the definition of EBITDA contained in our credit agreement, as amended. To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we provide the computation of Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Company, taking into account certain charges and gains that were recognized during the periods presented.

We view Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of our performance. We present Adjusted EBITDA not only due to its importance for purposes of our credit agreements but also because it assists us in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis as it excludes items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA:

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

to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business;

as a benchmark for the determination of the bonus component of compensation for our senior executives under our management incentive plan, as described further in our 2019 Proxy Statement;

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

in communications with our Board of Directors and investors concerning our financial performance.

27

Table of Contents

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of the Company. Management believes the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA offers an additional financial metric that, when coupled with results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of our results of operations and the factors and trends affecting our business. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors for the following reasons:

Adjusted EBITDA 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;

investors can use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the overall operating performance of our company, including our ability to service our debt and other cash needs; and

by comparing our Adjusted EBITDA in different historical periods, our investors can evaluate our operating performance excluding the impact of items described below.

The adjustments included in the reconciliation table listed below are provided for under our Term Loan and ABL Facility, and also are presented to illustrate the operating performance of our business in a manner consistent with the presentation used by our management and Board of Directors. These adjustments eliminate the impact of a number of items that:

we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, such as non-cash write-downs and other charges, non-cash gains, write-offs relating to the retirement of debt, severance costs and other restructuring-related business optimization expenses;

we believe to be akin to, or associated with, interest expense, such as administrative agent fees, revolving credit facility commitment fees and letter of credit fees; or

are non-cash in nature, such as share-based compensation.

We explain in more detail in footnotes (a) through (e) below why we believe these adjustments are useful in calculating Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of our operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA does not represent, and should not be a substitute for, net income or cash flows from operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations are:

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

several of the adjustments that we use in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, such as non-cash write-downs and other charges, while not involving cash expense, do have a negative impact on the value of our assets as reflected in our consolidated balance sheet prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP; and

other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

Furthermore, as noted above, one of our uses of Adjusted EBITDA is as a benchmark for determining elements of compensation for our senior executives. At the same time, some or all of these senior executives have responsibility for monitoring our financial results, generally including the adjustments in calculating Adjusted EBITDA (subject ultimately to review by our Board of Directors in the context of the Board's review of our quarterly financial statements). While many of the adjustments (for example, transaction costs and credit facility fees), involve mathematical application of items reflected in our financial statements, others involve a degree of judgment and discretion. While we believe all of these adjustments are appropriate, and while the quarterly calculations are subject to review by our Board of Directors in the context of the Board's review of our quarterly financial statements and certification by our Chief Financial Officer in a compliance certificate provided to the lenders under our Term Loan and ABL Facility credit agreements, this discretion may be viewed as an additional limitation on the use of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool.

28

Table of Contents

Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only supplementally.

Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Generac Holdings Inc.

$ 125,044 $ 123,020 $ 321,245 $ 292,852

(a)   Represents the following non-cash charges: transactional foreign currency gains/losses and certain purchase accounting related adjustments, gains/losses on disposals of assets and unrealized mark-to-market adjustments on commodity contracts. We believe that adjusting net income for these non-cash charges is useful for the following reasons:

The purchase accounting adjustments represent non-cash items to reflect fair value at the date of acquisition, and therefore do not reflect our ongoing operations;

The gains/losses on disposals of assets result from the sale of assets that are no longer useful in our business and therefore represent gains or losses that are not from our core operations; and

The adjustments for unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on commodity contracts represent non-cash items to reflect changes in the fair value of forward contracts that have not been settled or terminated. We believe it is useful to adjust net income for these items because the charges do not represent a cash outlay in the period in which the charge is incurred, although Adjusted EBITDA must always be used together with our U.S. GAAP statements of comprehensive income and cash flows to capture the full effect of these contracts on our operating performance.

(b)  Represents share-based compensation expense to account for stock options, restricted stock and other stock awards over their respective vesting periods.

(c) Represents the non-cash write-off of original issue discount and deferred financing costs due to a voluntary prepayment of Term Loan debt.

(d) Represents transaction costs incurred directly in connection with any investment, as defined in our credit agreement, equity issuance or debt issuance or refinancing, together with certain fees relating to our senior secured credit facilities, such as administrative agent fees and credit facility commitment fees under our Term Loan and ABL Facility, which we believe to be akin to, or associated with, interest expense and whose inclusion in Adjusted EBITDA is therefore similar to the inclusion of interest expense in that calculation.

(e) Represents severance and other non-recurring restructuring charges related to the consolidation of certain of our facilities. These charges represent expenses that are not from our core operations and do not reflect our ongoing operations.

Adjusted Net Income

To further supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we provide the computation of Adjusted Net Income attributable to the Company, which is defined as net income before noncontrolling interest and provision for income taxes adjusted for the following items: cash income tax expense, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discount related to our debt, intangible impairment charges, certain transaction costs and other purchase accounting adjustments, losses on extinguishment of debt, business optimization expenses, certain other non-cash gains and losses, and adjusted net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, as set forth in the reconciliation table below.

We believe Adjusted Net Income is used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of our company’s operations. Management believes the disclosure of Adjusted Net Income offers an additional financial metric that, when used in conjunction with U.S. GAAP results and the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of our ongoing results of operations, and the factors and trends affecting our business.

The adjustments included in the reconciliation table listed below are presented to illustrate the operating performance of our business in a manner consistent with the presentation used by investors and securities analysts. Similar to the Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation, these adjustments eliminate the impact of a number of items we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance or cash flows, such as amortization costs, transaction costs and write-offs relating to the retirement of debt. We also make adjustments to present cash taxes paid as a result of our favorable tax attributes.

Amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are based on an anticipated cash income tax rate of approximately 15% for the full year ended 2018. Cash income tax expense for the respective periods is based on the projected taxable income and corresponding cash tax rate for the full year after considering the effects of current and deferred income tax items, and is calculated for each respective period by applying the derived full year cash tax rate to the period’s pretax income.
