Item 2.02               Results of Operations and Financial Condition

 

On April 30, 2015, Generac Holdings Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015. A copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

      The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibits) is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section. The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.

 

Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

In the Press Release, we present certain financial information, specifically Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow and Total Net Debt which are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. We present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow and Total Net Debt in the Press Release because these metrics assist us in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow and Total Net Debt:

 

 

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

 

 

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

 

 

in communications with our board of directors and investors concerning our financial performance; and

 

 

to evaluate prior acquisitions in relation to the existing business.

 

We also use Adjusted EBITDA as a benchmark for the determination of the bonus component of compensation for our senior executives under our management incentive plans.

 

We believe that the disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow and Total Net Debt offers additional financial metrics which, when coupled with U.S. GAAP results and the reconciliation to U.S. GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of our results of operations and the factors and trends affecting our business for securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of our company. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow and Total Net Debt are useful to investors for the following reasons:

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow and Total Net Debt 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; and

 

 

by comparing our Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow and Total Net Debt in different historical periods, our investors can evaluate our operating performance excluding the impact of certain items.

Generac Reports First Quarter 2015 Results

 
WAUKESHA, WISCONSIN, (April 30, 2015) – Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE: GNRC) (the “Company”), a leading designer and manufacturer of power generation equipment and other engine powered products, today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

 

First Quarter 2015 Highlights

 

Net sales were $311.8 million during the first quarter of 2015 as compared to $342.0 million in the prior-year first quarter.

 

 

-

Residential product sales were $156.8 million during the first quarter as compared to $164.0 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to lower portable generator shipments resulting from a decline in power outage severity compared to the prior year.

 

 

-

Commercial & Industrial (C&I) product sales were $133.8 million during the first quarter as compared to $157.4 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to a decline in shipments to telecom national account customers and, to a lesser extent, oil & gas markets.

 

Net income during the first quarter of 2015 was $19.7 million, or $0.28 per share, as compared to $34.7 million, or $0.50 per share, for the same period of 2014. Adjusted net income, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $34.1 million, or $0.49 per share, as compared to $50.7 million, or $0.72 per share, in the first quarter of 2014.

 

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $57.1 million as compared to $77.5 million in the first quarter last year.

 

Cash flow from operations in the first quarter of 2015 was $25.3 million as compared to $36.4 million in the prior year quarter. Free cash flow, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $18.7 million as compared to $31.4 million in the first quarter of 2014.

 

For the trailing four quarters, including the first quarter of 2015, net sales were $1.431 billion; net income was $159.6 million; adjusted EBITDA was $316.9 million; cash flow from operations was $241.9 million; and free cash flow was $205.6 million.

 

During the first quarter of 2015, the Company made a voluntary pre-payment of term loan debt of $50 million. Total liquidity at March 31, 2015 was strong with cash and cash equivalents on hand of $150.1 million and approximately $150 million available on the Company’s ABL revolving credit facility. Total net debt to adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, at the end of the first quarter was 2.8 times.

 

“The first quarter of this year was particularly challenging with several of the end markets we serve performing below our expectations,” said Aaron Jagdfeld, President and Chief Executive Officer. “With an extremely low power outage environment and difficult winter weather, shipments of residential products were weaker than expected. In addition, the rapid decline in oil and gas related investment coupled with continued softness in capital spending in the telecom sector also had a negative impact on our C&I product shipments during the quarter. Despite a softer demand environment in the near term, we remain focused on driving awareness for our products, expanding and developing our distribution, launching innovative new products and controlling costs.”

 

Additional First Quarter 2015 Highlights

 

Residential product sales for the first quarter of 2015 were $156.8 million as compared to $164.0 million for the first quarter of 2014. The decline was primarily driven by a power outage severity environment during the quarter that was well below normalized levels and prior year, resulting in fewer shipments of portable generators. Additionally, although shipments for home standby generators were approximately flat during the quarter, heavy snow and colder temperatures in certain key regions limited growth for the category as installations were slowed by these conditions.

C&I product sales for the first quarter of 2015 were $133.8 million as compared to $157.4 million for the comparable period in 2014. The decline was primarily due to reduced shipments to telecom national account customers in the current year as a result of lower capital spending by certain of these customers and, to a lesser extent, reduced sales into oil & gas markets. Partially offsetting these declines were contributions from recent acquisitions and growth in Latin America.

 

Gross profit margin for the first quarter of 2015 was 32.9% compared to 34.9% in the prior-year first quarter. The decline was driven by a number of factors including a temporary increase in certain costs associated with the slowdown of activity in west coast ports, unfavorable absorption of manufacturing overhead-related costs, mark-to-market adjustments on commodity forward contracts, and the impact from recent acquisitions. These declines were partially offset by a more favorable mix of residential products.

 

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2015 increased $3.5 million, or 6.4%, as compared to the first quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily driven by increased marketing and advertising expenses and the addition of recurring operating expenses associated with recent acquisitions.

 

2015 Outlook Update

 

As a result of current end market conditions, the Company is revising its prior guidance for revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margins for the full year 2015. Net sales for 2015 are now expected to be approximately flat as compared to the prior year, primarily the result of a power outage severity environment that is expected to remain below normal during the first half of the year, with the assumption of a return to more normalized baseline levels of outage activity during the second half. Adjusted EBITDA for 2015 is also expected to be approximately flat as compared to the prior year, resulting in EBITDA margins of approximately 23.0% for the full year. Free cash flow is expected to remain strong for the full year 2015 due to an attractive margin profile, low cost of debt, favorable tax attributes and capital-efficient operating model.

 

“Although market conditions have been difficult so far in 2015, we believe many of these headwinds to be temporary in nature as the numerous long-term growth opportunities that impact our business remain firmly in place,” continued Mr. Jagdfeld. “We have become a more diversified company in recent years, with a strong balance sheet and the capability to generate significant free cash flow, providing us with the flexibility to drive our Powering Ahead strategic plan forward.”

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:

 

 

demand for Generac products;

 

frequency and duration of power outages;

 

availability, cost and quality of raw materials and key components used in producing Generac products;

 

the impact on our results of possible fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates;

 

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;

 

difficulties Generac may encounter as its business expands globally;

 

competitive factors in the industry in which Generac operates;

 

Generac's dependence on its distribution network;

 

Generac's ability to invest in, develop or adapt to changing technologies and manufacturing techniques;

 

loss of key management and employees;

 

increase in product and other liability claims or recalls; and

 

changes in environmental, health and safety laws and regulations.

 

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. 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 our 2014 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.

 

 

Reconciliations to GAAP Financial Metrics

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

The computation of adjusted EBITDA is based on the definition of EBITDA contained in Generac's credit agreement dated as of May 31, 2013. 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, 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. Adjusted net income is defined as net income before 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, and certain other non-cash gains and losses.

 

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 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 our SEC filings for additional discussion of the basis for Generac's reporting of Non-GAAP financial measures.
