WAUKESHA, Wis., July 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE:GNRC) ("Generac" or the "Company"), a leading global designer and manufacturer of energy technology solutions and other power products, today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2021 and provided an update on its outlook for the full year 2021.

Second Quarter 2021 Highlights

Net sales increased 68% to a record $920 million during the second quarter of 2021 as compared to $547 million in the prior-year second quarter. Core sales growth, which excludes both the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency, increased approximately 64%.
- Residential product sales grew 76% to $600 million as compared to $341 million last year.
- Commercial & Industrial ("C&I") product sales increased 64% to $254 million as compared to $155 million in the prior year.
Net income attributable to the Company during the second quarter was $127 million, or $2.01 per share, as compared to $66 million, or $1.02 per share, for the same period of 2020.
Adjusted net income attributable to the Company, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was a record $153 million, or $2.39 per share, as compared to $88 million, or $1.40 per share, in the second quarter of 2020.
Adjusted EBITDA before deducting for noncontrolling interests, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was a record $218 million, or 23.7% of net sales, as compared to $123 million, or 22.5% of net sales, in the prior year.
Cash flow from operations was $122 million, a record for the second quarter of a year, as compared to $102 million in the prior year. Free cash flow, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was also a second quarter record at $96 million as compared to $89 million for 2020. The increase in cash flow was primarily due to higher net income in the current year quarter, which was partially offset by a higher level of income taxes paid and capital expenditures in the current year relative to the prior year quarter.
On June 1^st, the Company closed on the acquisition of Deep Sea Electronics Limited, an advanced controls designer and manufacturer headquartered in Hunmanby, United Kingdom.
On July 2^nd, the Company closed on the acquisition of Chilicon Power, LLC ("Chilicon"). Based in California, Chilicon is a designer and provider of grid-interactive microinverter and monitoring solutions for the solar market.
The Company achieved a significant milestone by starting production of home standby generators at its new manufacturing facility in Trenton, South Carolina in early July.

"Second quarter results were again exceptional with broad-based growth of 68% leading to all-time record revenue of $920 million. We are particularly proud of achieving this tremendous top-line growth along with a record level of adjusted EBITDA despite numerous supply chain challenges," said Aaron Jagdfeld, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Shipments of home standby generators were almost double compared to the prior year due to incredible demand for these products and our successful capacity-expansion efforts. Our PWRcell^® energy storage systems were also up dramatically compared to the prior year as well as sequentially as these products continued to gain important traction in the rapidly expanding clean energy market. Additionally, shipments of C&I products were up significantly over the prior year as we continue to see demand recover across a number of markets and geographies from the prior-year pandemic lows, with growth of these products now solidly above 2019 levels."

Jagdfeld continued, "We recently announced two strategic acquisitions we believe will enable us to expand our capabilities and accelerate our strategy to continue Generac's transition into an energy technology solutions company. In June, we closed on the acquisition of Deep Sea Electronics, which will improve our expertise and bandwidth for advanced systems controls and help us more quickly develop our product roadmap for the future. In early July, we further added to our suite of clean energy solutions by entering the large and growing microinverter market for solar applications with the acquisition of Chilicon Power."

Additional Second Quarter 2021 Consolidated Highlights

Gross profit margin was 36.9% as compared to 38.2% in the prior-year second quarter. The current quarter's margin performance was impacted by higher input costs relating to raw materials, labor, logistics and plant start-up costs, which was partially offset by improved pricing along with favorable overhead absorption from higher sales volumes.

Operating expenses increased $37.4 million, or 31.3%, as compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher variable expenses from the significant increase in sales volumes, higher employee costs and incentive compensation, and the impact of acquisitions.

Provision for income taxes for the current year quarter was $46.4 million, or an effective tax rate of 26.6%, as compared to $18.5 million, or a 22.5% effective tax rate, for the prior year. The increase in effective tax rate was primarily due to a discrete tax item resulting from a legislative tax rate change in a foreign jurisdiction which revalued deferred tax liabilities by $7.0 million, or approximately 4% tax rate impact, during the current year quarter.

Business Segment Results

Domestic Segment

Domestic segment sales increased 70% to $784.1 million as compared to $460.8 million in the prior year quarter, with the impact of acquisitions contributing approximately 2% of the revenue growth for the quarter. The core sales growth was driven by broad-based strength across both residential and C&I products highlighted by very strong growth with home standby generators, PWRcell^® energy storage systems, telecom national account customers and C&I mobile products.

Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $203.9 million, or 26.0% of net sales, as compared to $121.3 million in the prior year, or 26.3% of net sales. This margin performance was impacted by higher input costs in the current year quarter, which were mostly offset by improved pricing and higher operating leverage from the substantial revenue growth for the segment during the quarter.

International Segment

International segment sales increased 58% to $135.8 million as compared to $86.1 million in the prior year quarter, with the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency contributing approximately 13% of the revenue growth for the quarter. The core sales growth for the segment was primarily due to strength in the European and Latin American regions that are seeing a sharp increase in demand as end markets recover off the prior-year COVID lows.

Adjusted EBITDA for the segment, before deducting for noncontrolling interests, was $13.7 million, or 10.1% of net sales, as compared to $1.9 million, or 2.2% of net sales, in the prior year. The increase in margin was primarily due to improved operating leverage on the higher sales volumes and the impact of the Deep Sea Electronics acquisition.

Updated 2021 Outlook

The Company continues to expand its production of home standby generators at a better-then-expected rate, and demand for PWRcell^® energy storage systems continues to increase combined with additional supply chain execution, which is leading to further increase in the shipment outlook for these products for the full-year 2021. The outlook for C&I products has also improved due to a further broad-based rebound in demand highlighted by a continued pickup in activity from telecom national account customers, overall stronger outlooks for domestic and international markets and the closing of the Deep Sea Electronics acquisition. However, the Company continues to experience higher input costs relative to our previous guidance due to rising commodities and significantly higher logistics costs.

As a result of these factors, the Company is increasing its full-year 2021 net sales growth guidance to now be approximately 47 to 50% compared to the prior year, which includes approximately 3% of favorable impact from acquisitions and foreign currency. This is an increase from the as-reported growth guidance of 40 to 45% previously expected.

Net income margin, before deducting for non-controlling interests, is now expected to be approximately 15.5 to 16.0% for the full-year 2021 as compared to the prior expectation of between 16.0 to 17.0%. The corresponding adjusted EBITDA margin is now expected to be 24.5 to 25.0%, as compared to the previous guidance range of approximately 24.5 to 25.5%.

Operating and free cash flow generation is still expected to be strong, with the conversion of adjusted net income to free cash flow still expected to be approximately 90%.

Forward-looking Information

Certain statements contained in this news release, as well as other information provided from time to time by Generac Holdings Inc. or its employees, may contain forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward looking statements. Forward-looking statements give Generac's current expectations and projections relating to the Company's financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "project," "plan," "intend," "believe," "confident," "may," "should," "can have," "likely," "future," "optimistic" and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events.

Any such forward looking statements are not guarantees of performance or results, and involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the Company's control) and assumptions. Although Generac believes any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect Generac's actual financial results and cause them to differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements, including:

frequency and duration of power outages impacting demand for our products;
availability, cost and quality of raw materials and key components from our global supply chain and labor needed in producing our products;
the impact on our results of possible fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodities, product mix and regulatory tariffs;
the possibility that the expected synergies, efficiencies and cost savings of our acquisitions will not be realized, or will not be realized within the expected time period;
the risk that our acquisitions will not be integrated successfully;
the duration and scope of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain and may or will continue to adversely affect our operations, supply chain, and distribution for certain of our products and services;
difficulties we may encounter as our business expands globally or into new markets;
our dependence on our distribution network;
our ability to invest in, develop or adapt to changing technologies and manufacturing techniques;
loss of our key management and employees;
increase in product and other liability claims or recalls;
failures or security breaches of our networks, information technology systems, or connected products; and
changes in environmental, health and safety, or product compliance laws and regulations affecting our products, operations, or customer demand.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, Generac's actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in any forward-looking statements. In the current environment, some of the above factors have materialized and may or will continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, which may cause actual results to vary from these forward-looking statements. A detailed discussion of these and other factors that may affect future results is contained in Generac's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), particularly in the Risk Factors section of the 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in its periodic reports on Form 10-Q. Stockholders, potential investors and other readers should consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statement made by Generac in this press release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Generac undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Metrics

Core Sales

The Company references core sales to further supplement Generac's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Core sales excludes the impact of acquisitions and fluctuations in foreign currency translation. Management believes that core sales facilitates easier and more meaningful comparison of net sales performance with prior and future periods.

Adjusted EBITDA

The computation of adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Company and adjusted EBITDA margin is based on the definition of EBITDA contained in Generac's credit agreement dated as of May 31, 2013, as amended. To supplement the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Generac provides a summary to show the computation of adjusted EBITDA, which excludes the impact of noncontrolling interests, taking into account certain charges and gains that were recognized during the periods presented.

Adjusted Net Income

To further supplement Generac's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides a summary to show the computation of adjusted net income attributable to the Company. Adjusted net income attributable to the Company is defined as net income before noncontrolling interests 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 the Company's 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 non-controlling interests.

Free Cash Flow

In addition, we reference free cash flow to further supplement Generac's condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, plus proceeds from beneficial interests in securitization transactions, less expenditures for property and equipment, and is intended to be a measure of operational cash flow taking into account additional capital expenditure investment into the business.

The presentation of this additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Please see the accompanying Reconciliation Schedules and our SEC filings for additional discussion of the basis for Generac's reporting of Non-GAAP financial measures, which includes why the Company believes these measures provide useful information to investors and the additional purposes for which management uses the non-GAAP financial information.
