Generac Holdings Inc., a prominent player in the energy technology sector, designs and manufactures a variety of power products and solutions, including backup generators and energy storage systems for residential, commercial, and industrial markets.
In its third-quarter earnings report for 2024, Generac reported a significant rebound in sales, driven by increased demand for residential products amid heightened power outage activities. The company also revised its full-year outlook upward, citing strong performance and recent natural disaster events.
Generac’s financial highlights for the third quarter include a 10% increase in net sales to $1.17 billion, with residential product sales soaring by 28% year-over-year. However, commercial and industrial product sales saw a decline of 15%. The company’s net income attributable to shareholders nearly doubled to $114 million, and adjusted EBITDA rose to $232 million, reflecting improved margins and operational efficiency.
The company also reported robust cash flow from operations amounting to $212 million, enabling continued strategic share repurchases. The management updated its 2024 guidance, anticipating overall net sales growth between 5% and 9%, with adjusted EBITDA margins expected to reach 17.5% to 18.5%.
Looking ahead, Generac’s management remains optimistic about sustaining growth, driven by the increasing demand for backup power solutions amid ongoing grid vulnerabilities and the growing adoption of renewable energy sources.
