Overview



We are a leading global designer and manufacturer of a wide range of energy
technology solutions. The Company provides power generation equipment, energy
storage systems, grid service solutions, and other power products serving the
residential, commercial and industrial markets.



Power generation and storage is a key focus of the Company, which differentiates
us from many of our competitors who also have broad operations outside of the
power equipment market. As the only significant market participant with a
primary focus on these products, we maintain one of the leading market positions
in the power equipment market in North America and an expanding presence
internationally. We believe we have one of the widest ranges of products in the
marketplace, including residential, commercial and industrial standby
generators, as well as portable and mobile generators used in a variety of
applications. A key strategic focus for the Company in recent years has been
leveraging our leading position in the growing market for cleaner burning, more
cost effective natural gas-fueled generators to expand into applications beyond
standby power, allowing us to participate in distributed generation projects.
The Company in recent years has been evolving its business model to also focus
on clean energy products, solutions, and services. In 2019, we began providing
energy storage systems as a clean energy solution for residential use that
capture and store electricity from solar panels or other power sources and
help reduce home energy costs while also protecting homes from shorter-duration
power outages. During 2020, we entered the market for grid services by
offering distributed energy optimization and control software that helps support
the operational stability of the world's power grids. We have also been focused
on connecting the equipment we manufacture to the users of that equipment,
helping to drive additional value to our customers and our distribution partners
over the product life cycle. The strategic focus on expanding the connectivity
of our products will broaden our monitoring capabilities and also enable the
increasing utilization of this equipment as distributed energy resources as the
nascent market for grid services expands over the next several years. Overall,
as the traditional centralized utility model evolves over time, we believe that
a cleaner, more decentralized grid infrastructure will build-out, and Generac's
energy technology solutions are strategically positioned to participate in this
future "Grid 2.0".



In addition to power generation and storage solutions, other products that we
design and manufacture include light towers that provide temporary lighting for
various end markets, and a broad and growing product line of outdoor power
equipment for residential and commercial use.

Business Drivers and Operational Factors

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





Business Drivers and Trends


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

Key Mega-trends:   There are some important mega-trends that we believe
represent major themes that will drive significant secular growth opportunities
across our business over the long term. "Grid 2.0," which is the evolution of
the traditional electrical utility model, includes the decentralization and
de-carbonization 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.  Attitudes around global warming and climate change are
shifting, which includes the expectation of more severe weather driving
increased power outage activity.  Natural gas is expected to be a key fuel of
the future with the abundance of supply globally leading to increasing demand
for natural gas generators in applications beyond standby power.  The legacy
infrastructure is in need of a major investment cycle to rebuild and upgrade
aging networks and systems including transportation, water and power.  The
wireless telecommunications infrastructure is shifting to the next generation
"5G" architecture, which will enable new technologies requiring significant
improvement in network uptime through backup power solutions.



The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 has led to a new and emerging
mega-trend that we refer to as "Home as a Sanctuary," where millions of people
are working, learning, shopping, entertaining, and in general, spending more
time at home.  As working adults spend much more time working from home and
school-age children learning from home, they become more sensitive to power
outages due to lost productivity.  These trends combined with ongoing elevated
power outage activity has led to a significant increased awareness, importance
and need for backup power security.  As a result of spending more time at home,
homeowners are also investing more into home improvement projects and outdoor
project activity, which is leading to increased and broad-based demand for home
standby generators as well as chore products used in a variety of property
maintenance applications.



Increasing penetration opportunity.  Many potential customers are still not
aware of the costs and benefits of automatic backup power solutions. We estimate
that penetration rates for home standby generators are only approximately 5% of
the addressable market of homes in the United States. As such, a significant
penetration opportunity exists for residential back-up generators. The decision
to purchase backup power for many light-commercial buildings such as convenience
stores, restaurants and gas stations is more return-on-investment driven, and as
a result these applications have relatively lower penetration rates as compared
to buildings used in code-driven or mission critical applications such as
hospitals, wastewater treatment facilities, 911 call centers, data centers and
certain industrial locations. The emergence of lower cost, cleaner burning
natural gas fueled generators has helped to increase the penetration of standby
generators over the past decade in the light-commercial market. In addition, the
installed base of backup power for telecommunications infrastructure is still
increasing due to a variety of factors including the impending rollout of
next-generation 5G wireless networks enabling new technologies and the growing
importance for critical communications being transmitted over wireless networks.
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 standby generators for residential,
commercial and industrial purposes.



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



Energy storage and monitoring markets developing quickly.   During 2019, we
entered the rapidly developing energy storage, monitoring and management markets
with the acquisitions of Pika Energy and Neurio Technologies, along with the
subsequent introduction of Generac branded products - marketed under the names
PWRcellTM and PWRviewTM. We believe the electric utility landscape will undergo
significant changes in the decade ahead as a result of 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 solar, wind, geothermal, and 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 as attachment rates for energy storage systems on solar
installations have increased significantly over the last couple of years. The
capabilities provided by Pika and Neurio have enabled us to bring an efficient
and intelligent energy-savings solution to the energy storage and monitoring
markets, which enabled us to quickly ramp shipments for these clean energy
solutions during 2020, and which we believe will position Generac as a key
participant going forward. Although different from the emergency backup power
space, we believe this market will develop similarly as the home standby
generator market has over the past two decades given both products can provide
power resiliency to homeowners. We expect to further advance our growing
capabilities for energy storage systems including product development, sourcing,
distribution, and marketing, as we leverage our significant competencies in the
residential standby generator market to accelerate our market position in the
emerging residential energy storage, monitoring, and management markets.

California and Texas markets for backup power increasing.    Over the past two
years, utilities in the state of California have executed a number of Public
Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events in large portions of their service areas.
These events were proactive measures to prevent their equipment from potentially
causing catastrophic wildfires during extreme temperatures and drought
conditions. The occurrence of these events, along with the utilities warning
these actions could continue in the future as they upgrade their transmission
and distribution infrastructure, have resulted in significant awareness and
increased demand for our generators in California, where penetration rates of
home standby generators still stand at only approximately 1%. In addition, the
state of California has mandated that all wireless telecommunications
infrastructure must provide for at least 72 hours of back-up power. We have a
significant focus on expanding distribution in California and are working
together with local regulators, inspectors, and gas utilities to increase their
bandwidth and sense of urgency around approving and providing the infrastructure
necessary for home standby and other backup power products. Our efforts in this
part of the country will also be helpful in developing the market for energy
storage and monitoring where the installed base of solar and other renewable
sources of electricity are some of the highest in the U.S., and the regulatory
environment is increasingly mandating renewable energy on new construction
applications.



In addition, the major outages caused by a winter storm throughout Texas in the
first quarter of 2021 also resulted in significant awareness and increased
demand for our generators in Texas, where penetration rates of home standby
generators stand at approximately 3%. We have a significant focus on expanding
distribution in Texas given the substantial size of the addressable market in
this part of the country.



Impact of residential investment cycle.  The market for residential generators
and energy storage systems is also affected by the residential investment cycle
and overall consumer confidence and sentiment. When homeowners are confident of
their household income, the value of their home and overall net worth, they are
more likely to invest in their home. These trends can have an impact on demand
for residential generators and energy storage systems. Trends in the new housing
market, highlighted by residential housing starts, can also impact demand for
these products. Demand for outdoor power equipment is also impacted by several
of these factors, as well as weather precipitation patterns. Finally, the
existence of renewable energy mandates and investment tax credits and other
subsidies can also have an impact on the demand for 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 markets include non-residential building
construction, durable goods and infrastructure spending, as well as investments
in the exploration and production of oil & gas, as businesses or organizations
either add new locations or make investments to upgrade existing locations or
equipment. These trends can have a material impact on demand for these products.
The capital investment cycle may differ for the various commercial and
industrial end markets that we serve including light commercial, retail, office,
telecommunications, industrial, data centers, healthcare, construction, oil &
gas and municipal infrastructure, among others. The market for these products is
also affected by general economic and geopolitical conditions as well as credit
availability in the various geographic regions that we serve.



Factors Affecting Results of Operations





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:



Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.     As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to
evolve, we continue to work to ensure employee safety, monitor customer demand,
proactively address supply chain or production challenges, and support our
communities during this challenging time. We manufacture and provide essential
products and services to a variety of critical infrastructure customers around
the globe, and as a result, substantially all of our operations and production
activities have been operational during the pandemic. We have implemented
changes in our work practices, maintaining a safe working environment for
production and office employees at our facilities, while enabling other
employees to productively work from home.



The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced various trends we are experiencing today
around supply chain and operations constraints. While we are deemed an
essential, critical infrastructure business and our facilities currently remain
operational, this continues to be a fluid process and subject to change. We have
experienced and may continue to experience increased employee absences at
several of our production facilities. Additionally, we have experienced minor
work stoppages at certain of our foreign manufacturers, none of which have
impacted our ability to satisfy customer demand. If we were to encounter a
significant work stoppage, disruption, or COVID-19 outbreak at one or more of
our locations or suppliers, we may not be able to satisfy customer demand for a
period of time. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the global
supply chain and logistics network, and we are continually monitoring scheduled
material receipts to mitigate any delays. To date, we have not experienced
significant impacts or interruptions to our supply chain as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic, but this could be subject to change if one or more of our
suppliers can no longer operate in this environment. We have maintained business
continuity by utilizing safety stock inventory levels and executing air freight
strategies.  We have experienced inbound and outbound logistics delays and
increased costs, however, the impact to our customers thus far has not been
significant. This could change if freight carriers are delayed or not able to
operate.



We continue to experience a broad-based increase in demand for residential
products, specifically home standby generators, created by a significant
increase in the awareness, importance and need for backup power security as
people are working, learning, shopping, entertaining, and spending more time at
home. Additionally, as economic activity continues to recover across the globe,
we are experiencing a return to growth in our domestic and international C&I
products.



The further extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our business is dependent on
future developments, including the duration of the pandemic, our ability to
operate during the pandemic, actions taken by domestic and foreign governments
to contain the spread of the virus, and the related length of its impact on the
global economy and our customers. Refer to the COVID-19 related risk factor
disclosed in Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

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 over the years have
further expanded our commercial and operational presence outside of the United
States. These international acquisitions, along with our existing global supply
chain, expose us to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and
regulatory tariffs that can also have a material impact on our results of
operations. Additionally, specifically in 2021, there continue to be significant
raw material and other cost pressures, ongoing logistics challenges, and various
supply chain constraints, which are resulting in higher input costs of our
products.



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



Seasonality.  Although there is demand for our products throughout the year, in
each of the past five years, approximately 19% to 21% of our net sales occurred
in the first quarter, 22% to 25% in the second quarter, 26% to 28% in the third
quarter and 27% 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.



During 2020, elevated power outage activity and the emergence of the "Home as a
Sanctuary" trend driven by the COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant increase
in demand for home standby generators. In addition, the major outages throughout
Texas in the first quarter of 2021 also drove elevated demand for back-up
generators. This increased demand has resulted in extended lead times for these
products, and as a result, our net sales during 2021 are expected to be more
level-loaded throughout the year relative to historical seasonal patterns.



Factors influencing interest expense.   Interest expense can be impacted by a
variety of factors, including market fluctuations in LIBOR, interest rate
election periods, interest rate swap agreements, repayments or borrowings of
indebtedness, and amendments to our credit agreements. In connection with our
term loan amendment in December 2019, language was added to the agreement to
include a benchmark replacement rate, selected by the administrative agent and
the borrower, as a replacement to LIBOR that would take affect at the time LIBOR
ceases. Additionally, as part of our ABL Facility amendment in May
2021, language was added to the ABL Facility agreement to include a benchmark
replacement rate, selected by the administrative agent and the borrower, as a
replacement to LIBOR that would take affect at the time LIBOR ceases. During the
six months ended June 30, 2021, interest expense decreased compared to the six
months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to lower LIBOR 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.  On
March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and
Economic Security Act (CARES Act) providing relief to taxpayers due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. We have reviewed and implemented elements of the CARES Act
based on guidance provided by the U.S. Treasury Department. However, the
benefits were not material to our financial results. Despite this, we will
continue to review the CARES Act and any regulations or guidance issued by the
U.S. Treasury Department or by a state which may create an additional tax
expense or benefit. We will update our future tax provisions based on new
regulations or guidance accordingly. We are also monitoring any additional
legislative changes to income tax laws that could increase our effective tax
rate and related tax obligations.



As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $102 million of tax-deductible
goodwill and intangible asset amortization remaining from our acquisition by
CCMP Capital Advisors, LLC in 2006. This remaining balance will fully amortize
in our 2021 tax return, resulting in approximately $26 million of cash tax
savings during 2021. Beginning in 2022, this tax amortization will no longer
exist, resulting in a higher cash tax obligation on a go-forward basis.



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, 2020.

Net sales.    Domestic segment sales increased 70.2% to $784.1 million as
compared to $460.8 million in the prior year quarter, with the impact of
acquisitions contributing approximately $9.8 million of the revenue growth for
the quarter. The current year quarter 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, PWRcellTM energy storage
systems, telecom national account customers and C&I mobile products.



International segment sales increased 57.8% 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 $11.3 million 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 from the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic.



The net sales contribution from all non-annualized recent acquisitions for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $15.8 million.

Gross profit. Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2021 was 36.9% compared to 38.2% in the prior year second quarter. The gross profit margin decrease was primarily driven by higher input costs relating to raw materials, labor, logistics and plant start-up costs, which were partially offset by improved pricing and favorable overhead absorption from higher sales volumes.





Operating expenses.   Operating expenses increased $37.4 million, or 31.3%, as
compared to the prior year second quarter. 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 the Deep Sea
acquisition relative to acquisition related transaction expenses, recurring
operating expenses and amortization expense.



Other expense.  The increase in Other expense, net was driven by a $.8 million
non-cash write-off of original issue discount and deferred financing costs due
to a $50 million voluntary prepayment of our Term Loan which was partially
offset by a reduction in interest expense due to lower LIBOR rates.



Provision for income taxes.   The effective income tax rates for the three
months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were 26.6% and 22.5%, respectively. The
increase in the 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.



Net income attributable to Generac Holdings Inc.    Net income attributable to
Generac Holdings Inc. was $127.0 million as compared to $66.1 million in the
prior year second quarter. The increase was primarily driven by increased sales
volumes and other items noted above.



Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the Domestic segment in the second quarter of 2021 was $203.9 million, or 26.0% of net sales, as compared to $121.3 million, or 26.3% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. The slight margin decrease was driven 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.





Adjusted EBITDA for the International segment in the second quarter of 2021,
before deducting for non-controlling 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
quarter. The improvement in margin was primarily due to improved operating
leverage on the higher sales volumes and the impact of the Deep Sea acquisition.



Adjusted Net Income.   Adjusted Net Income of $153.2 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2021 increased 73.2% from $88.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2020, due to the factors outlined above together with an
increase in the cash income tax rate from approximately 17.0% in the prior year
quarter to approximately 21.0% to 21.5% in the current year quarter.



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 sales increased 76.5% to $1,476.9 million as
compared to $836.8 million in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven
by strong growth in shipments of residential products highlighted by home
standby and portable generators. In addition, PWRcellTM energy storage systems
experienced very robust growth as the Company continues to expand in the clean
energy market, and shipments of chore products also improved at a strong rate as
compared to the prior year. This was supplemented by a return to growth for C&I
products which was led by a substantial increase in shipments for telecom
national account customers and C&I mobile products compared to the prior year.



International segment sales increased 34.7% to $250.5 million as compared to
$186.0 million in the prior year. The growth for the segment was due to an
increase in market activity primarily in the European and Latin American regions
that are seeing a sharp increase in demand as end markets recover from the
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the impact of acquisitions and
foreign currency added $16.5 million of revenue growth.



The net sales contribution from all non-annualized recent acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $22.7 million.

Gross profit.  Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was
38.3% compared to 37.3% in the prior year. The gross profit margin increase was
primarily driven by favorable sales mix from significantly higher shipments of
residential products, along with improved pricing and overhead absorption from
higher sales volumes. These favorable impacts were partially offset by higher
input costs primarily relating to raw materials, labor, logistics and plant
start-up costs.



Operating expenses.   Operating expenses increased $60.6 million, or 26.5%, as
compared to the prior year. 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 relative to
acquisition related transaction expenses, recurring operating expenses and
amortization expense.



Other expense.  The decrease in Other expense, net was driven by a reduction in
interest expense due to lower LIBOR rates, as well as a $3.9 million gain
recorded on the sale of a long-term investment in the first quarter of 2021,
which was partially offset by a $.8 million non-cash write-off of original issue
discount and deferred financing costs due to a $50 million voluntary prepayment
of our Term Loan.



Provision for income taxes.   The effective income tax rates for the six months
ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were 22.7% and 20.7%, respectively. The increase in
the 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 during the current year second quarter.



Net income attributable to Generac Holdings Inc.    Net income attributable to
Generac Holdings Inc. was $276.0 million as compared to $110.6 million in the
prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by increased sales volumes
and related favorable sales mix, and other items noted above.



Adjusted EBITDA.  Adjusted EBITDA for the Domestic segment was $411.0 million,
or 27.8% of net sales, as compared to $204.0 million, or 24.4% of net sales, in
the prior year period. This margin increase was driven by favorable sales mix,
improved pricing and higher operating leverage from the substantial revenue
growth for the segment during the current year, which were partially offset
by higher input costs.



Adjusted EBITDA for the International segment, before deducting for
non-controlling interests, was $20.9 million, or 8.3% of net sales, as compared
to $5.1 million, or 2.8% of net sales, in the prior year period. The improvement
in margin was primarily due to the combination of favorable sales mix, improved
operating leverage on the higher sales volumes, lower operating expenses as a
result of the restructuring activities initiated in the second quarter of 2020,
and the impact of the Deep Sea acquisition.



Adjusted Net Income.   Adjusted Net Income of $305.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2021 increased 113.1% from $143.6 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2020, due to the factors outlined above together with an increase
in the cash income tax rate from approximately 17.0% in the prior year to
approximately 21.0% to 21.5% in the current year.



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 Financial Condition





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



Our credit agreements originally provided for a $1.2 billion term loan B credit
facility (Term Loan) and include a $300.0 million uncommitted incremental term
loan facility. As of June 30, 2021, there was $780 million outstanding under the
Term Loan. Following several amendments, the Term Loan matures on December 13,
2026 and bears interest at rates based upon either a base rate plus an
applicable margin of 0.75% or adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of
1.75%. The Term Loan does not require an Excess Cash Flow payment (as defined in
our credit agreement) if our secured leverage ratio is maintained below 3.75 to
1.00 times. As of June 30, 2021, our secured leverage ratio was 0.79 to 1.00
times, and we are in compliance with all covenants of the Term Loan. There are
no financial maintenance covenants on the Term Loan.



Our credit agreements also provide for a $500.0 million ABL Facility. The ABL
Facility matures May 27, 2026 and bears interest at rates based upon either
a base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.00% to 0.25% or adjusted LIBOR rate
plus an applicable margin of 1.00% to 1.25%, in each case, based on average
availability under the ABL Facility. As of June 30, 2021, there was $50
million outstanding under the ABL Facility, leaving $439.5 million of
availability, net of outstanding letters of credit. We are in compliance with
all covenants of the ABL Facility as of June 30, 2021.



As of June 30, 2021, we had $829.6 million of liquidity comprised
of $390.1 million of cash and equivalents and $439.5 million available under
our ABL Facility. Additionally, we have no maturities on our Term Loan and ABL
Facility until 2026. 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 2018, our Board of Directors approved a $250.0 million stock
repurchase program, which expired in October 2020. In September 2020, our Board
of Directors approved another stock repurchase program, which commenced on
October 27, 2020, and allows for the repurchase of up to $250.0 million of our
common stock over a 24-month period from time to time; in amounts and at prices
we deem appropriate, subject to market conditions and other considerations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, no share repurchases were
made under these plans. Since the inception of all stock repurchase programs
starting in August 2015, we have repurchased 8,676,706 shares of our common
stock for $305.5 million (an average repurchase price of $35.21 per share), all
funded with cash on hand.



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.

Long-term Liquidity



We believe that our cash flow from operations and availability under our ABL
Facility and other short-term lines of credit, combined with our cash on hand,
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 to repurchase shares of our common stock, impacting
the amount available for working capital, capital expenditures and other general
corporate purposes. As we continue to expand our business, we may require
additional capital to fund working capital, capital expenditures or
acquisitions.

short-term borrowings and $53.1 million of long-term borrowings and finance
lease obligations), $40.0 million of taxes paid related to equity awards, $27.2
million as a purchase of additional ownership interest of Pramac, and
$3.8 million of contingent consideration for acquired businesses. These cash
payments were partially offset by proceeds of $57.6 million from short-term
borrowings, $50.0 million from long-term borrowings and $18.6 million from the
exercise of stock options.



Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020
primarily represents $128.2 million of debt repayments ($125.7 million of
short-term borrowings and $2.5 million of long-term borrowings and finance lease
obligations), $11.0 million of taxes paid related to equity awards, and $4.0
million of contingent consideration for acquired businesses. These cash payments
were partially offset by proceeds of $122.5 million from short-term borrowings
and $7.6 million from the exercise of stock options.



Contractual Obligations



There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations since the
February 23, 2021 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2020.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements





There have been no material changes to off-balance sheet arrangements since the
February 23, 2021 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2020. See Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the
condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our off-balance sheet arrangements.



Critical Accounting Policies



As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2020, 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 23, 2021 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Non-GAAP Measures



Adjusted EBITDA



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



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



• for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating


    budget and developing and refining our internal projections for future
    periods;

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

• as a benchmark for the determination of the bonus component of compensation

for our senior executives under our management incentive plan, as described

further in our 2021 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 our company, including our ability to service


    our debt and other cash needs; and


  • by comparing our Adjusted EBITDA in different historical periods, our

investors can evaluate our operating performance excluding the impact of items


    described below.




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



• we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, such as

non-cash write-downs and other charges, non-cash gains, write-offs relating to


    the retirement of debt, severance costs and other restructuring-related
    business optimization expenses;

• we believe to be akin to, or associated with, interest expense, such as

administrative agent fees, revolving credit facility commitment fees and


    letter of credit fees; or


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



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





                                       26

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

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements

for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our

working capital needs;

• Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash

requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;

• although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being

depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and

Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

• several of the adjustments that we use in calculating Adjusted EBITDA, such as

non-cash write-downs and other charges, while not involving cash expense, do


    have a negative impact on the value of our assets as reflected in our
    consolidated balance sheet prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP; and

• other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting


    its usefulness as a comparative measure.




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



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 the following non-cash charges, gains, and other adjustments:
gains/losses on disposals of assets and sales of certain investments, unrealized
mark-to-market adjustments on commodity contracts, and certain foreign currency
related 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; and

? The adjustments for unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on commodity

contracts represent non-cash items to reflect changes in the fair value of

forward contracts that have not been settled or terminated. We believe it is

useful to adjust net income for these items because the charges do not

represent a cash outlay in the period in which the charge is incurred,

although Adjusted EBITDA must always be used together with our U.S. GAAP

statements of comprehensive income and cash flows to capture the full effect


    of these contracts on our operating performance.



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

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





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



(e)  For the six months ended June 30, 2021, represents severance and other
charges related to the consolidation of certain of our facilities. For the three
and six months ended June 30, 2020, represents severance, non-cash asset
write-downs, and other charges to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
and decline in oil prices.

Adjusted Net Income



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



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



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



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.

(b) Represents gains and losses attributable to the disposition of a business or assets occurring in other than ordinary course, as defined in our credit agreement.





(c) Amount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 is based on an
anticipated cash income tax rate of approximately 21.0% to 21.5% for the full

30, 2020 is based on an anticipated cash income tax rate at the time of
approximately 17.0% for the full year ended December 31, 2020. Cash income tax
expense for the respective periods is based on the projected taxable income and
corresponding cash tax rate for the full year after considering the effects of
current and deferred income tax items, and is calculated for each respective
period by applying the derived full year cash tax rate to the period's pretax
income.
