The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023 , the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 , the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 , and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 have been prepared by the Company and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments except where disclosed) 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 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 disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with 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, 2022 .
New Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standard updates (ASUs) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). ASUs issued were assessed and have already been adopted in a prior period or determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
2 . Acquisitions
Fiscal 2023 Acquisitions
On February 1, 2023, the Company acquired REFUstor, headquartered in Pfullingen, Germany. REFUstor is a developer and supplier of battery storage hardware products, advanced software, and platform services for the commercial and industrial market.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of REFUstor from the date of acquisition through June 30, 2023. The Company recorded its preliminary purchase price allocation for REFUstor during the first quarter of 2023, based on its estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Purchase accounting will be finalized prior to March 31, 2024, and there have not been any material changes to the balances acquired as of June 30, 2023. Pro forma and other financial information are not presented as the effects of the REFUstor acquisition are not material to the Company's results of operations or financial position prior to the acquisition date.
Fiscal 2022 Acquisitions
On June 30, 2022, the Company acquired EEC. Headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts, EEC is an industrial generator distributor as well as a provider of data center and telecom facility design, build, maintenance, and repair services.
On October 3, 2022, the Company acquired Blue Pillar, an industrial IoT platform developer that designs, deploys, and manages industrial IoT network software solutions to enable distributed energy generation monitoring and control.

4 . Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company records all derivatives in accordance with 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 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 for the periods presented.
Interest Rate Swaps
In 2017, the Company entered into interest rate sw ap agreements, the final four of which expired in May 2023. In March 2020, the Company entered into additional interest rate swap agreements which were still outstanding as of June 30, 2023 .
In June 2022, in conjunction with the amendments to the Company's credit agreements discussed further in Note 11, “Credit Agreements,” the Company amended its interest rate swaps to match that of the underlying debt and reconfirmed hedge effectiveness. 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 their gains or losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The amount of gains/(losses), net of tax recognized, for the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2023,

June 30, 2023
and

is an asset of $
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 revolving facility borrowings), excluding Term Loan borrowings, approximates the fair value of these instruments based on their short-term nature. The fair value of the Term Loan B borrowing, which has a net carrying value o
f $
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 the derivative contracts above considers the Company’s credit risk in accordance with ASC 820 - 10.
Contingent Consideration
Certain of the Company's business combinations involve potential payment of future consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones. As part of purchase accounting, a liability is recorded for the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date. The fair value of the contingent consideration is remeasured at each reporting period, and the change in fair value is recognized within general and administrative expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fair value measurement of contingent consideration is typically categorized as a Level 3 liability, as the measurement amount is based primarily on significant inputs that are not observable in the market.
At
June 30, 2023,
the fair value of contingent consideration is

7 . Segment Reporting
The Company has reportable segments for financial reporting purposes – Domestic and International. The Domestic segment includes the legacy Generac business (excluding its traditional Latin American export operations), and the acquisitions that are based in the U.S. and Canada, all of which have revenues substantially derived from the U.S. and Canada. The International segment includes the legacy Generac business’ Latin American export operations and the Company's various international acquisitions, all of which have revenues substantially derived from outside the U.S. and Canada. Both reportable segments design and manufacture a wide range of energy technology solutions 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, organizational structure, and regional considerations.

Residential products consist primarily of automatic home standby generators ranging in output from 7.5kW to 150kW, portable generators, energy storage systems, energy management devices and solutions, and other outdoor power equipment. These products are predominantly sold through independent residential dealers, national and regional retailers, e-commerce merchants, electrical/HVAC/solar wholesalers, solar installers, and outdoor power equipment dealers. The residential products revenue consists of the sale of the product to our distribution partners, which they in turn sell or rent 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 product's revenues are transferred to the customer at a point in time.
C&I products consist of larger output stationary generators used in C&I applications with power outputs up to 3,250kW. Also included in C&I products are mobile generators, light towers, energy storage systems, mobile heaters, mobile pumps, and related controllers for power generation equipment. These products are sold globally through industrial 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 they in turn sell or rent 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.
The Other product class consists primarily of aftermarket service parts and product accessories sold to our customers, the amortization of extended warranty deferred revenue, remote monitoring and grid services subscription revenue, as well as certain installation and maintenance service revenue. The aftermarket service parts and product accessories are generally transferred to the customer at a point in time, while the extended warranty revenue and subscription revenue are recognized over the life of the contract. Other service revenue is recognized when the service is performed.

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 to 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:

13. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the common shareholders 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, as well as the satisfaction of certain contingent consideration conditions as of the end of the period. Refer to Note 3, “Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements, for further information regarding the accounting for redeemable noncontrolling interests within earnings per share.

The Company disputes the allegations in the complaint, including that PHS can seek consequential damages or amounts greater than the $
On October 28, 2022, Daniel Haak filed a putative class action lawsuit against Generac Power in the Middle District of Florida. The complaint alleges breaches of warranty, tort-based, and unjust enrichment claims against Generac Power relating to the sale and performance of certain clean energy products, and seeks to recover damages, including consequential damages, that the plaintiff and putative class allegedly incurred. Generac Power disputes the allegations and intends to vigorously defend against the claims in the complaint, including that plaintiff and the putative class can seek consequential damages.
Eight additional putative class actions were filed by consumers of Generac clean energy products between November 21, 2022 and July 5, 2023. These complaints assert claims for breaches of warranty, tort-based, statutory, and unjust enrichment claims against Generac Power and/or the Company and seek to recover damages, including consequential damages, that plaintiffs and putative classes allegedly incurred. In some of these cases, the Company as well as Generac Power has been named as a defendant. The cases were filed in or removed to the federal district courts for the Eastern District of Wisconsin ( Basler, et al. v. Generac Power Systems, Inc. , Case No. 22 -cv- 01386; Dillon v. Generac Power Systems, Inc. , Case No. 23 -cv- 00034; Kates v. Generac Power Systems, Inc., et al., Case No. 23 -cv- 00892; and Zukas, et al., v.

On March 3, 2023, the plaintiff in the Moon case filed a motion (the “MDL Motion”) to transfer that case and other pending putative class actions seeking relief for alleged harm purportedly arising in connection with a Generac clean energy product, to a proposed multidistrict litigation. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued orders that ultimately resulted in all of the putative class actions being coordinated and consolidated for pretrial proceedings before the Honorable Lynn S. Adelman in the Eastern District of Wisconsin. On July 19, 2023, Judge Adelman issued an order giving plaintiffs in these actions 45 days to file a consolidated master complaint and Generac Power and the Company 60 days thereafter to respond to the consolidated master complaint. Generac Power and the Company intend to vigorously defend against the consolidated master complaint.
On December 1, 2022, Oakland County Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association and Oakland County Employees’ Retirement System filed a putative securities class action lawsuit against the Company and certain of its officers in the Eastern District of Wisconsin. On January 20, 2023, the California Ironworkers Field Pension Trust filed a related putative securities class action, also in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. Both complaints assert claims for alleged violation of federal securities law related to disclosures of quality issues in Generac Power’s clean energy product, reliance on channel partners, and accounting for warranty reserves. The plaintiffs seek to represent a class of individuals who purchased or otherwise acquired common stock between April 29, 2021 and November 1, 2022 and seek unspecified compensatory damages and other relief on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of the Company’s stock. On March 14, 2023, the court consolidated the two actions. On May 30, 2023, the court appointed a lead plaintiff. On July 31, 2023, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated complaint. The Company disputes the allegations in the operative consolidated complaint and intends to vigorously defend against the claims in the consolidated class action.
On February 3, 2023, a purported Company shareholder filed a shareholder derivative action against certain of the Company’s officers and directors in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. The complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of the Company and certain other relief, such as certain reforms to corporate governance practices. The complaint (in which the Company is named as a nominal defendant) generally alleges, among other things, breaches of fiduciary duties in connection with the oversight of the Company’s public statements and legal compliance, and that the Company was damaged as a result of the breaches of fiduciary duties, and the defendants were unjustly enriched. The complaint also alleges, among other things, violations of Sections 14 (a), 10 (b) and 20 (a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of corporate assets. On March 6, 2023, a second shareholder derivative action, making substantially similar allegations, was filed in the same court against certain of the Company’s officers and directors. The complaint (in which the Company is named as a nominal defendant) asserts a single claim for breach of fiduciary duty and seeks unspecified damages on behalf of the Company and certain other relief. On May 2, 2023, the court consolidated the two actions. On May 30, 2023, the court entered an order staying the consolidated action.
Between March 20, 2023 and April 11, 2023, three shareholder derivative actions were filed in the Circuit Court of Waukesha County, Wisconsin. The complaints (in which the Company is named as a nominal defendant) assert breaches of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment, among other claims, based generally on alleged misrepresentations in the Company’s public statements and filings relating to the Company’s clean energy product, reliance on channel partners, and accounting for warranty reserves, among other allegations. Each complaint seeks unspecified damages on behalf of the Company and certain other relief, including certain corporate governance reforms. On June 1, 2023, the court entered an order consolidating the three actions, appointing lead plaintiffs’ counsel, and staying the consolidated actions. The Company disputes the allegations in the shareholder derivative actions and intends to vigorously defend against the claims in the complaints.

Spartronics Vietnam, Inc. , Case No. 23 -cv- 00660 -MWB (M.D. Pa.)). Generac Power denies the allegations in the complaints, including that Generac Power is responsible for Spartronics purchasing practices, and will seek dismissal of the actions in favor of arbitration, as required by Generac Power’s supply agreement with Spartronics, and intends to pursue available claims in connection with the arbitration.
In the opinion of management, it is presently unlikely that any legal or regulatory proceedings pending against or involving the Company will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, in many of these matters, it is inherently difficult to determine whether a loss is probable or to estimate the size or range of the possible loss given the variety and potential outcomes of actual and potential claims, the uncertainty of future rulings, the behavior or incentives of adverse parties, and other factors outside the control of the Company. Accordingly, the Company’s loss reserves may change from time to time, and actual losses could exceed the amounts reserved by an amount that could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.

Overview
Generac is a leading energy technology solutions company that provides backup and prime power generation systems for residential and commercial and industrial (C&I) applications, solar and battery storage solutions, energy management devices and energy services, advanced power grid software platforms, and engine and battery-powered tools and equipment. As an energy technology solutions company that is “Powering a Smarter World”, our corporate purpose is to lead the evolution to more resilient, efficient, and sustainable energy solutions around the world.
We have a long history of providing power generation products across a variety of applications, and we maintain one of the leading market positions in the power equipment markets in North America and an expanding presence internationally. We believe we have one of the widest ranges of products in the power generation marketplace, including residential, commercial and industrial standby generators; as well as portable and mobile generators used in a variety of applications. In recent years, the Company has been evolving its business model to focus on building out an ecosystem of energy technology products, solutions, and services for home and business purposes. As part of this evolution, we have made significant investments into rapidly growing markets such as residential clean energy storage, solar module-level power electronics (MLPE), and energy monitoring and management devices, all of which are distributed energy resources (DERs) that can be aggregated into virtual power plants (VPPs) within grid services programs. In addition, we have been leveraging our leading position in the growing market for natural gas fueled generators to expand into applications beyond standby power, allowing us to participate in Energy-as-a-Service and microgrid projects for C&I customers. We believe natural gas represents a cleaner transition fuel to more renewable and energy storage sources compared to diesel.
We have also made investments in next-generation platforms and controls for both residential and C&I applications that facilitate the connection of our products to the grid. Expanding these capabilities will enable the increasing utilization of our equipment as DERs as the nascent market for grid services expands over the next several years. Our growing presence in grid services programs will enhance the value of our power generation and storage products that might otherwise sit idle, as they are now able to be dispatched and orchestrated as part of a distributed energy solution, thereby generating additional return-on-investment for the home or business owner while also delivering value to utilities and grid operators by helping to balance, support and enhance the reliability of the electrical grid. As the traditional centralized utility model evolves over time, we believe that a more decarbonized, digitized, and decentralized grid infrastructure will develop, and Generac’s energy technology solutions are uniquely and strategically positioned to participate in this next-generation grid referred to as “Grid 2.0”.
As our traditional power generation markets remain strong due to multiple mega-trends that are driving increased penetration of our products, we believe we are in an excellent position to execute on this opportunity given our competitive strengths. In addition, our focus on more resilient, efficient and sustainable energy solutions has dramatically increased our served addressable market, and as a result, we believe that Generac is well-positioned for success over the long term.
Mega-Trends, Strategic Growth Themes, and Additional Business Drivers
In 2021, we unveiled our “Powering A Smarter World” strategic plan, which serves as the framework for the significant investments we have made and will continue to make to capitalize on the long-term growth prospects of Generac. Our enterprise strategy is based on the combination of several key mega-trends that we believe will drive several significant strategic growth themes for our business. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for more information on our "Powering A Smarter World" strategic plan.
Key Mega-Trends:
|
● |
“Grid 2.0 ”: which is the evolution of the traditional electrical utility model as supply/demand imbalances are created due to the accelerating adoption of renewable energy generation and the “electrification of everything” in society’s energy consumption. It includes the decarbonization, digitization, and decentralization of the grid and a migration toward distributed energy resources that is expected to drive demand for a variety of clean energy and grid services solutions going forward. |
|
● |
Impact of climate change: which includes the expectation of more volatile and severe weather driving increased power outage activity, and more global regulation accelerating renewable investments. | |
| ● |
Natural gas as an important transition fuel to the future:
as natural gas will remain in demand as a source of cleaner, reliable power generation for backup power and beyond standby applications, compared to diesel fuel.
|
|
| ● | Legacy infrastructure needs a major investment cycle: to rebuild and upgrade aging networks and systems including transportation, water and power. | |
| ● | Telecommunications infrastructure shifting to next generation: which involves the “5G” architecture that will enable new technologies requiring significant improvement in network uptime through backup power solutions. | |
| ● | Home as a Sanctuary: in recent years, there has been a trend of more people working, shopping, entertaining, aging in place, and generally spending more time at home. As a result of this and the “electrification of everything” trend, homeowners are becoming increasingly sensitive to power outages due to lost productivity and functionality. These trends combined with ongoing elevated power outage activity has led to significantly increased awareness regarding the importance and need for backup power security. |
Strategic Growth Themes:
Power quality issues continue to increase . Power disruptions are an important driver of consumer 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 outage event. Energy storage systems offer similar resiliency advantages to consumers and can benefit from these same awareness drivers, at least for short duration power outages. The optional standby market for C&I power generation is also driven by power quality issues and the related need for backup power. Attitudes around climate change have shifted and undergone increased global focus, and an aging and underinvested electrical grid infrastructure remains highly vulnerable to the expectation of more volatile and severe weather. Additionally, rapid growth in renewable power sources such as solar and wind is resulting in increased intermittency of supply, further impairing the reliable supply of electricity at a time when demand is starting to increase meaningfully with the electrification of a wide range of consumer and commercial products, including transportation, HVAC systems, and other major appliances. These developments are causing a growing supply/demand imbalance for grid operators across Nor th America, which has led to recent high-profile examples of rolling blackouts necessary to maintain grid integrity. In fact, the North American Electric Reliability Corporation has labeled significant portions of the continent as being at high risk of resource adequacy shortfalls during normal seasonal peak conditions in the 2023-2027 period due in part to these supply/demand dynamics. Further, in California, Public Safety Power Shutoff events have occurred whereby public utilities are turning off power supply to their customers under certain circumstances to prevent their transmission equipment from starting wildfires, which we anticipate may continue in the future. Taken together, we expect these factors to continue driving increased awareness and demand for Generac’s products within multiple categories.
Home standby penetration opportunity is significant . Many potential customers are still not aware of the costs and benefits of automatic backup power solutions. With only approximately 5.75% penetration of the addressable market of homes in the United States (which we define as single-family detached, owner-occupied households with a home value of over $150,000, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau's 2021 American Housing Survey for the United States), we believe there are significant opportunities to further penetrate the residential standby generator market both domestically and internationally. We believe by expanding our distribution network, continuing to develop our product lines, and targeting our marketing efforts, we can continue to build awareness and increase penetration for our home standby generators. Additionally, Smart Grid Ready capabilities have the potential to turn an asset previously utilized only in emergency power outage situations into a source of recurring revenue for the homeowner and a contributor to grid stability for utilities and grid operators, therefore driving incremental interest in the product category.
Solar, storage, and energy management markets developing quickly . We believe the electric utility landscape will undergo significant changes in the decade ahead due to rising utility rates, grid instability and power quality issues, environmental concerns, and the continuing performance and cost improvements in renewable energy and batteries. On-site power generation from renewable sources such as solar and wind, and cleaner-burning natural gas generators, is projected to become more prevalent as will the need to monitor, manage, and store this power – potentially developing into a significant market opportunity. We expect to further advance our capabilities in clean energy by increasing our product development, sourcing, distribution, and marketing efforts, as we leverage our significant competencies in the residential standby generator market to augment our market position in the emerging residential solar, storage, monitoring and management markets. Additionally, these markets are receiving an increasing level of regulatory and legislative support, most notably from the Inflation Reduction Act that was passed in 2022. This legislation includes significant subsidies and investment tax credits for consumers and business over the coming decade and provides necessary opportunity for long-term, value-creating investments for market participants.
Grid services and Energy-as-a-Service open new revenue streams . We expect the evolution of the traditional electrical utility model toward decarbonized, digitized, and decentralized solutions will continue to drive the need for grid operators to access and control DERs. This will require highly intelligent software platforms that are able to optimize an increasingly complex supply and demand equation, such as our Concerto software platform. As the grid services market matures, Generac will continue to explore opportunities beyond the traditional software-as-a-service subscription model, including but not limited to the aggregation and sale of power from a fleet of DERs in performance-based contracts, wholesale power market participation, turn-key solutions that combine hardware and software with services, and other monitoring and management services. Additionally, growing interest in our C&I products across a variety of “beyond standby” applications is driving an increase in demand for subscription-like models for end customers, in which Generac will partner with third parties to deliver peace of mind and resiliency solutions while also enabling contributions to grid stability with minimal upfront capital outlays. The significant advancements made in recent years in the connectivity of our products is core to these newer capabilities, which play a key role in the evolution of Generac into an energy technology solutions company.
Natural gas generators driving growth . We believe natural gas will continue to be an important and cleaner transition fuel of the future, in comparison to diesel, as the world continues to shift towards lower emission power generation sources. Demand for natural gas generators continues to represent an increasing portion of the overall C&I market, which we believe will continue to grow at a faster rate than traditional diesel fueled generators. We also continue to explore and expand our capabilities within new gaseous generator market opportunities, including continuous-duty, prime rated, distributed generation, demand response, microgrids and overall use as a distributed energy resource in areas where grid stability is needed. Many of these applications are made possible by our natural gas generators having Smart Grid Ready capabilities, which allows for end users to participate in available grid services programs, helping to offset the purchase price of the equipment over the product’s lifespan. Expanding our natural gas product offering into larger power nodes is also a part of this growth theme in taking advantage of the continuing shift from diesel to natural gas generators.
Rollout of 5G will require improved network quality . As the number of “connected” devices continues to rapidly increase and wireless networks are now being considered critical infrastructure in the United States, network reliability and up-time are necessary for our increasingly connected society. This will require highly resilient cell tower sites across the network, and therefore necessitates the need for backup power sources on site at these cell towers. Generac is the leading supplier of backup power to the telecommunications market in the United States, where approximately half of all existing tower sites have yet to be hardened with backup power. As more mission-critical data is transmitted over wireless networks, we believe this penetration rate must increase considerably to maintain a higher level of reliability across the network. Increased adoption of high-speed wireless networks around the globe may lead to similar demand trends internationally as growing cell tower density and the need for onsite backup power expand the market opportunity for our international telecom products. We have relationships with key Tier 1 carriers and tower companies globally in addition to having the distribution partners to support the global market from a service standpoint. We believe these factors coupled with Generac’s ability to customize solutions to each customer’s needs help us to maintain our strength within the global telecommunications market.
Other Business Drivers
Impact of residential investment cycle. The market for a number of our residential products is 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 and energy storage systems. Trends in the new housing market, highlighted by residential housing starts, can also impact demand for these products. We are experiencing softer than expected consumer spending for home improvement, and expect this softness to continue for the remainder of 2023, negatively impacting our outlook for residential products. Demand for outdoor power equipment is also impacted by several of these factors, as well as weather patterns. Finally, the existence of renewable energy mandates, investment tax credits and other subsidies, which have become even more prevalent with the recent passing of the Inflation Reduction Act, can also have an impact on the demand for solar and energy storage systems.
Impact of business capital investment and other economic 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 cycles 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 and market conditions 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 in the countries where we serve, as well as credit availability in those regions.
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, component price fluctuations, and resource availability. 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. Acquisitions in recent years have increased our use of advanced electronic components and battery cells, as well as further expanded our commercial and operational presence outside of the United States. Our international acquisitions, along with our existing global supply chain, expose us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and regulatory tariffs that can also 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. We have implemented multiple price increases over the past couple of years to help mitigate the impact of rising costs, and we continued to realize the benefit of these pricing actions in the first half of 2023. 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 19% to 25% of our net sales occurred in the first quarter, 22% to 28% in the second quarter, 24% to 28% in the third quarter and 23% to 31% in the fourth quarter, with different seasonality depending primarily 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. For Residential products, we are currently experiencing higher field inventories for home standby generators that resulted in lower orders from our channel partners in the first half of 2023 and this headwind is expected to impact the second half of 2023 as well.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict. In February 2022, Russia commenced military action against Ukraine. In response, the U.S. and certain other countries imposed significant sanctions and export controls against Russia, Belarus and certain individuals and entities connected to Russian or Belarusian political, business, and financial organizations. In March 2022, we announced our suspension of operations and sales in Russia. Our sales to customers in Russia and Ukraine represented less than 1% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021, and therefore the impact on our financial results has not been and is not expected to be material. However, the situation remains uncertain, and it is difficult to predict the impact that the conflict and actions taken in response to the conflict will have on our business. In particular, the situation could increase our costs, disrupt our supply chain, significantly hinder our ability to find materials or key single-sourced components we need to make certain products, or otherwise adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Factors influencing interest expense. Interest expense can be impacted by a variety of factors, including market fluctuations in SOFR, interest rate election periods, interest rate swap agreements, repayments or borrowings of indebtedness, and amendments to our credit agreements. In connection with our credit agreement amendment in June 2022, SOFR became the new benchmark interest rate for the new Tranche A Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Facility, and all LIBOR provisions in the existing Tranche B Term Loan Facility were replaced with SOFR provisions. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 , interest expense increased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 , primarily due to increased borrowings and higher interest rates. Refer to Note 11, “Credit Agreements,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.
Factors influencing provision for income taxes and cash income taxes paid. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a significantly lower benefit from equity compensation coupled with lower year-over-year pre-tax book income in the current year. On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act (the Act). The Act in part provides funding and tax incentives for certain clean energy products and projects. While the Act did not impact the current quarter results, we will continue to review the Act and any regulations or guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department or by a state which may provide a tax benefit or expense. We will update our future tax provisions based on new regulations or guidance accordingly.
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, 2022 .

Net sales. Domestic segment total sales (including inter-segment sales) declined $311.2 million or 27.6% to $815.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, with the impact of acquisitions contributing approximately 3% revenue growth for the quarter. The decline in sales was driven by lower residential product shipments, primarily due to a decline in home standby and clean energy shipments, partially offset by growth in smart thermostat sales. The overall weakness in residential products was partially offset by continued strength in C&I products, highlighted by an increase in shipments to direct customers for “beyond standby” applications, industrial distributors, and the national rental equipment channel.
International segment total sales (including inter-segment sales) increased $20.4 million or 10.1% to $223.7 million, with the net impact of acquisitions and foreign currency contributing approximately 4% revenue growth for the quarter. The sales growth for the segment was primarily driven by strength in nearly all regions around the world.
In addition, total contribution from non-annualized acquisitions for second quarter of 2023 was $32.2 million, including $30.5 million for the domestic segment and $1.7 million for the international segment.
Gross profit. Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2023 was 32.8% compared to 35.4% in the prior year second quarter. This decline in margin was primarily due to the significant impact of unfavorable sales mix, partially offset by higher pricing and lower input costs.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased $2.3 million or 1.0%, as compared to the prior year second quarter. The increase was primarily driven by increased employee, marketing and promotion costs and the impact of recurring operating expenses from recent acquisitions, mostly offset by lower variable operating expenses.
Other Expense. The increase in other expense, net was driven primarily by higher interest expense due to higher borrowings and interest rates than the prior year quarter. The increase was partially offset by a $3.7 million non-cash write-off of original issue discount and deferred financing costs due to a $250 million prepayment of our Tranche B Term Loan Facility in the prior year quarter.
Provision for income taxes. The effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were 25.9% and 22.5%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a lower benefit from equity compensation in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year.
Net income attributable to Generac Holdings Inc. Net income attributable to Generac Holdings Inc. was $45.2 million compared to $156.4 million in the prior year second quarter. This decrease was primarily driven by decreased operating earnings due to the factors outlined above.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the Domestic segment in the second quarter of 2023 was $103.2 million, or 12.7% of total domestic segment sales, as compared to $241.9 million, or 21.5%, in the prior year quarter. This margin decline was primarily driven by the significant impact of unfavorable sales mix and reduced operating leverage on lower shipments. The impact of acquisitions and continued investments for future growth also negatively affected margins during the quarter. These headwinds were partially offset by favorable price and cost benefits.
Adjusted EBITDA for the international segment in the second quarter of 2023, before deducting for non-controlling interests, was $33.3 million, or 14.9% of international total sales, as compared to $29.5 million, or 14.5% of total sales, in the prior year quarter. This stronger margin performance was primarily driven by favorable price and cost benefits.
Adjusted Net Income . Adjusted Net Income of $67.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased 63.5% from $185.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This decrease was primarily driven by lower net income due to the factors outlined above, together with the impact of various add-backs in the current and prior year quarters.
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. Domestic segment total sales (including inter-segment sales) declined $566.1 million or 26.9% to $1,535.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, with the impact of acquisitions contributing approximately 3% revenue growth for the six month period. The decline in sales was driven primarily by lower home standby and clean energy product shipments. This decline was partially offset by strong C&I product sales growth across all channels, highlighted by national rental equipment, industrial distributors, telecom and other direct customers for "beyond standby" applications.
International segment total sales (including inter-segment sales) increased $51.4 million or 13.2% to $440.2 million, with the net impact of acquisitions and foreign currency contributing approximately 2% revenue growth for the six month period. The sales growth for the segment was primarily driven by strength in nearly all regions around the world.
In addition, total contribution from non-annualized acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $59.5 million, including $56.3 million for the domestic segment and $3.2 million for the international segment.
Gross profit. Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 31.8% compared to 33.7% in the prior year comparable period. This decline in margin was primarily due to the significant impact of unfavorable sales mix, partially offset by higher pricing and lower input costs.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $24.3 million or 5.4%, as compared to the prior year comparable period, including a $5.8 million provision for a regulatory matter with the CPSC (see Note 15, “Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information). The remaining increase was primarily driven by increased marketing, promotion and employee costs as well as recurring operating expenses from recent acquisitions, offset by lower variable operating expenses.
Other Expense. The increase in other expense, net was driven primarily by higher interest expense due to higher borrowings and interest rates compared to the prior year comparable period. The increase was partially offset by a $3.7 million non-cash write-off of original issue discount and deferred financing costs due to a $250 million prepayment of our Tranche B Term Loan Facility in the prior year period.
Provision for income taxes. The effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were 28.5% and 21.3%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a significantly lower benefit from equity compensation on a lower pre-tax earnings base in the current period compared to the prior year comparable period.
Net income attributable to Generac Holdings Inc. Net income attributable to Generac Holdings Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $57.6 million as compared to $270.2 million in the prior year comparable period. This decrease was primarily driven by decreased operating earnings due to the factors outlined above.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the Domestic segment in the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $170.9 million or 11.1% of total domestic segment sales as compared to $412.3 million or 19.6% in the prior year comparable period. This lower margin performance was primarily driven by the significant impact of unfavorable sales mix and reduced operating leverage on lower shipments. The impact of acquisitions and investments for future growth also negatively affected margins during the period. These headwinds were partially offset by favorable price and cost benefits.
Adjusted EBITDA for the international segment in the six months ended June 30, 2023, before deducting for non-controlling interests, was $65.8 million, or 14.9% of international segment total sales, as compared to $55.5 million or 14.3% of total sales, in the prior year comparable period. This stronger margin performance was primarily driven by favorable price and cost benefits and improved operating leverage on higher sales volume.
Adjusted Net Income . Adjusted Net Income of $107.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased 65.8% from $313.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 . This decrease was primarily driven by lower net income due to the factors outlined above, together with the impact of various add-backs in the first six months of the current and prior years.
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 materials and components, 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 revolving credit facility.
Our credit agreements originally provided for a $1.2 billion term loan B credit facility (Tranche B Term Loan Facility) and currently include a $300.0 million uncommitted incremental term loan facility. Additionally, our credit agreements provided for a $500.0 million ABL facility (ABL Facility) that was paid off and terminated in June 2022.
In June 2022, we amended and restated our existing credit agreements (Amended Credit Agreement) resulting in a new term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million (Tranche A Term Loan Facility), established a new revolving facility with an available borrowing amount of $1.25 billion (Revolving Facility), terminated the ABL Facility, and replaced all LIBOR provisions in the existing Tranche B Term Loan Facility with SOFR provisions. Proceeds received from the Tranche A Term Loan Facility were used to repay the total existing outstanding balance on our former ABL Facility and make a $250 million voluntary prepayment on the Tranche B Term Loan Facility, with the remaining funds to be used for future general corporate purposes. As a result of these prepayments, we wrote off $3.5 million of original issue discount and capitalized debt issuance costs during the second quarter of 2022 as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Revolving Facility was unfunded at closing.
As of June 30, 2023, there wa s $530 million outstanding under the Tranche B Term Loan Facility, $750 mi llion outstanding under the Tranche A Term Loan Facility, and $250 million of borrowings on our Revolving Facility, leaving $ 999.9 m illion of availability, net of outstanding letters of credit. Our Tranche B Term Loan Facility bears interest at rates based on either a base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.75% or adjusted SOFR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75%, subject to a SOFR floor of 0.0%. Beginning on January 1, 2023, the Tranche A Term Loan Facility and Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate based on adjusted SOFR plus an applicable margin between 1.25% and 1.75%, based on our total leverage ratio and subject to a SOFR floor of 0.0%. At June 30, 2023, the interest rates for the Tranche A Term Loan Facility, Revolving Facility, and Tranche B Term Loan Facility were 6.49%, 6.49%, and 7.01%, respectively. See Note 4, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and Item 7A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on interest rate swaps that are currently outstanding and partially offset the above interest expense.
The Tranche B Term Loan Facility matures on December 13, 2026, while the Tranche A Term Loan Facility and Revolving Facility mature on June 29, 2027. The Tranche A Term Loan Facility principal is repayable in quarterly installments beginning in September 2023. Payments on the Revolving Facility are not due until 2027. Principal payments are due on these facilities as follows:

The Tranche B Term Loan Facility does not require an Excess Cash Flow payment (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) if our net secured leverage ratio is maintained below 3.75 to 1.00 times. As of June 30, 2023, our net secured leverage ratio was 2.52 to 1.00 times. The Tranche A Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Facility added certain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a total leverage ratio below 3.75 to 1.00 as well as an interest coverage ratio above 3.00 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s total leverage ratio was 2.66 to 1.00 times, and the Company's interest coverage ratio was 7.00 to 1.00. The Company was in compliance with all other covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2023.
As of June 30, 2023, we had $1,192.7 million of available liquidity, comprised of $ 192.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $ 999.9 million available under our Revolving Facility, net of outstanding letters of credit. As of June 30, 2023, total liquidity is reduced to $798.3 million under the Company's most restrictive debt covenants, and consists of $192.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $605.5 million available under our Revolving Facility. We believe we have a strong liquidity position that allows us to execute our strategic plan and provides the flexibility to continue to invest in future growth opportunities.
In September 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program, which commenced on October 27, 2020, and allowed for the repurchase of up to $250 million of the Company's common stock over a 24-month period. That program was exhausted in the third quarter of 2022. In July 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved another stock repurchase program, which commenced on August 5, 2022, and allows for the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company's common stock over a 24-month period. 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, general market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements, and compliance with the terms of the Company’s outstanding credit agreements. 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. There were no share repurchases under the program during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Since the inception of all stock repurchase programs (starting in August 2015), the Company has repurchased 11,748,713 shares of common stock for $777,379 (at an average cost per share of $66.17).
See Note 11, “Credit Agreements,” and Note 12, "Stock Repurchase Program," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our credit agreements and stock repurchase program.
We have an arrangement with a finance company to provide floor plan financing for selected dealers. This arrangement provides liquidity for our dealers by financing dealer purchases of products with credit availability from the finance company. We receive payment from the finance company after shipment of product to the dealer, and our dealers are given a longer period of time to pay the finance company. If our dealers do not pay the finance company, we may be required to repurchase the applicable inventory held by the dealer. We do not indemnify the finance company for any credit losses they may incur. Total dealer purchases financed under this arrangement accounted for approximately 11% and 16% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The amount financed by dealers which remained outstanding wa s$166.9 million and $212.2 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Long-term L iquidity
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, and availability under our Revolving Facility and other short-term lines of credit will provide us with sufficient capital to continue to grow our business in the future. We may use a portion of our cash flow to pay principal on our outstanding debt, as well as repurchase shares of our common stock, impacting the amount available for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, 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 increase in operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily represents a significantly lower investment in working capital as compared to the prior year, partially offset by lower operating earnings.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily represents cash payments of $53.9 million related to the purchase of property and equipment, $16.2 million for the acquisition of REFUstor, $6.6 million for a tax equity investment, and a $2.0 million minority investment in Rolling Energy Resources, an electric vehicle load management platform.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily represents cash payments of $46.5 million related to the purchase of property and equipment, $11.4 million related to the acquisition of businesses, and $10.2 million for a tax equity investment, which were partially offset by cash proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $1.9 million, cash proceeds from beneficial interests in securitization transactions of $1.8 million, and cash proceeds from the sale of an investment of $1.3 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily represents proceeds of $318.0 million from long-term borrowings, $46.0 million from short-term borrowings, and $6.2 million from the exercise of stock options. These cash proceeds were partially offset by $104.8 million in cash payments used to purchase the remaining ownership interest in Pramac, $181.7 million of debt repayments ($21.1 million of short-term borrowings and $160.6 million of long-term borrowings and finance lease obligations), and $9.2 million of taxes paid related to equity awards.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily represents proceeds of $935.0 million from long-term borrowings, $216.7 million from short-term borrowings, and $10.4 million from the exercise of stock options. These cash proceeds were partially offset by $746.6 million of debt repayments ($208.2 million of short-term borrowings and $538.4 million of long-term borrowings and finance lease obligations), $38.3 million of taxes paid related to equity awards, and $10.3 million for payment of debt issuance costs.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations since the February 22, 2023 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, except for the Revolving Facility draws as discussed in Note 11, “Credit Agreements,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Critical A ccounting P olicies and Estimates
As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, 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; and income taxes.
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies since the February 22, 2023 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Non-GAAP M easures
Adjusted EBITDA
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, which is defined as net income before noncontrolling interest adjusted for the following items: interest expense, depreciation expense, amortization of intangible assets, income tax expense, certain non-cash gains and losses including certain purchase accounting and contingent consideration adjustments, share-based compensation expense, losses on extinguishment of debt, certain transaction costs and credit facility fees, business optimization expenses, certain specific provisions, and adjusted EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests, as set forth in the reconciliation table below.
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 2023 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. |
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 the 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 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 (f) 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 capital 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 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 Amended Credit Agreement, this discretion may be viewed as an additional limitation on the use of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool.
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.

(a) Represents gains/losses on the disposition of assets and sales of certain investments, unrealized mark-to-market adjustments on commodity contracts, certain foreign currency related adjustments, and certain purchase accounting and contingent consideration adjustments. We believe that adjusting net income for these non-cash charges and gains is useful for the following reasons:
| • |
The gains/losses on disposals of assets and sales of certain investments 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. |
| • |
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. |
|
| • | Purchase accounting and contingent consideration related adjustments relate to the acquisition of businesses and the accounting related to those acquisitions. |
(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 write-off of original issue discount and capitalized debt issuance costs due to voluntary debt prepayment.
(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.
(f) The amount recorded in the first quarter of 2023 represents a provision of $5.8 million for a matter with the CPSC concerning the imposition of civil fines for allegedly failing to timely submit a report under the CPSA in relation to certain portable generators that were subject to a voluntary recall previously announced on July 29, 2021. On May 25, 2023, the Company and the CPSC entered into a final mutual settlement agreement resolving this matter.
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 adjusted for the following items: amortization of intangible assets, amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discount related to our debt, intangible impairment charges (if any), certain transaction costs and other purchase accounting adjustments, losses on extinguishment of debt, business optimization and other charges, certain specific provisions, certain other non-cash gains and losses or charges, 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 the 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.
Similar to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income 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 Net Income 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 Net Income does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; |
|
• |
although amortization is a non-cash charge, the assets being amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted Net Income does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and |
|
• |
other companies may calculate Adjusted Net Income differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. |
