WAUKESHA, Wis., Aug. 02, 2023 (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, 2023 and provided an update on its outlook for the full year 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Highlights

Net sales decreased 23% to $1.00 billion during the second quarter of 2023 as compared to $1.29 billion in the prior-year second quarter. Core sales growth, which excludes both the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency, decreased approximately 26%.
- Residential product sales declined 44% to $499 million as compared to $896 million last year.
- Commercial & Industrial ("C&I") product sales increased 24% to $384 million as compared to $309 million in the prior year.
Net income attributable to the Company during the second quarter was $45 million, or $0.70 per share, as compared to $156 million, or $2.21 per share, for the same period of 2022.
Adjusted net income attributable to the Company, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $68 million, or $1.08 per share, as compared to $185 million, or $2.86 per share, in the second quarter of 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA before deducting for noncontrolling interests, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $137 million, or 13.6% of net sales, as compared to $271 million, or 21.0% of net sales, in the prior year.
Cash flow from operations was $83 million during the second quarter, as compared to $24 million in the prior year. Free cash flow, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $54 million as compared to $6 million in the second quarter of 2022. The increase in free cash flow was due to significantly lower working capital investment in the current year quarter, partially offset by lower operating earnings, higher interest payments, and higher capital expenditures.

"As expected, overall second quarter sales declined from a strong prior year comparable period that included the significant benefit of excess backlog reduction for home standby generators," said Aaron Jagdfeld, President and Chief Executive Officer. "While leading indicators of end market demand remain strong and we continue to make progress in reducing field inventory levels, residential product sales were modestly lower than our expectations in the quarter as a softer consumer environment for home improvement impacted shipments of home standby generators and chore products. However, global C&I product shipments remained strong at all-time record levels and were better than expected with broad-based growth across nearly all regions and channels."

Jagdfeld continued, "While our expectations for the consumer environment are now softer than previously projected, we believe the long-term mega-trends that are driving awareness for backup power solutions are as compelling as ever. Homeowners and businesses are increasingly sensitive to the growing energy supply-demand imbalances and intensifying impacts of extreme weather, and to address these opportunities, we are further investing in the build out of our suite of products and solutions to position ourselves as a leader in energy technology."

Additional Second Quarter 2023 Consolidated Highlights

Gross profit margin was 32.8% as 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 increased $2.3 million, or 1.0%, as compared to the second quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by increased employee and marketing costs and the impact of recurring operating expenses from recent acquisitions, mostly offset by lower variable operating expenses.

Provision for income taxes for the current year quarter was $15.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 25.9%, as compared to $45.8 million, or a 22.5% effective tax rate, for the prior year. 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.

Business Segment Results

Domestic Segment

Domestic segment total sales (including inter-segment sales) decreased 28% to $815.3 million as compared to $1.13 billion in the prior year quarter, with the impact of acquisitions contributing approximately 3% revenue growth for the quarter. The decline in core 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.

Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $103.2 million, or 12.7% of total sales, as compared to $241.9 million in the prior year, or 21.5% of total sales. 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.

International Segment

International segment total sales (including inter-segment sales) increased 10% to $223.7 million as compared to $203.3 million in the prior year quarter, with the net impact of acquisitions and foreign currency contributing approximately 4% revenue growth for the quarter. The core sales growth for the segment was highlighted by strength in nearly all regions around the world.

Adjusted EBITDA for the segment, before deducting for noncontrolling interests, was $33.3 million, or 14.9% of total sales, as compared to $29.5 million, or 14.5% of total sales, in the prior year. This stronger margin performance was primarily driven by favorable price and cost benefits.

2023 Outlook Update

As a result of the softer-than-expected consumer environment, the Company now anticipates lower residential product sales during the second half relative to prior expectations. Partially offsetting this lower outlook, C&I product sales are now expected to grow at a mid-teens rate during 2023 compared to the previous guidance of a mid to high-single digit increase. Accordingly, the Company now anticipates its full-year 2023 net sales to decline between -10 to -12% as compared to the prior year, which includes approximately 2% of net favorable impact from acquisitions and foreign currency. This compares to the previous guidance range of a decline between -6 to -10%.

Additionally, due to the revised sales outlook, the Company now expects net income margin, before deducting for non-controlling interests, to be approximately 6.0 to 7.0% for the full-year 2023 compared to the previous guidance range of 7.5 to 8.5%. The corresponding EBITDA margin is now expected to be approximately 15.5 to 16.5% compared to the previous guidance range of 17.0 to 18.0%.

Operating and free cash flow generation are still expected to return to strong levels for the full year, with conversion of adjusted net income to free cash flow expected to be well over 100%.

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;
fluctuations in cost and quality of raw materials required to manufacture our products;
availability of both labor and key components from our manufacturing operations and global supply chain, including single-sourced components and contract manufacturers, needed in producing our products;
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 impact on our results of possible fluctuations in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodities, product mix, logistics costs and regulatory tariffs;
difficulties we may encounter as our business expands globally or into new markets;
our dependence on our distribution network;
our ability to remain competitive by investing in, developing or adapting to changing technologies and manufacturing techniques, as well as protecting our intellectual property rights;
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;
changes in laws and regulations regarding environmental, health and safety, product compliance, or international trade that affect our products, operations, or customer demand;
significant legal proceedings, claims, lawsuits or government investigations; and
changes in durable goods spending by consumers and businesses or other macroeconomic conditions, impacting demand for our products.

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 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 2022 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

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company provides the computation of Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Company, which is defined as net income 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 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.

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 adjusted for the following items: amortization of intangible assets, amortization of deferred financing costs and original issue discount related to the Company's debt, intangible impairment charges, certain transaction costs and other purchase accounting adjustments, losses on extinguishment of debt, business optimization and other charges, certain specific provisions, 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.
