The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries that are consolidated in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). All intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 have been prepared by the Company and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments except where disclosed) necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operation, and cash flows have been made. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standard updates (ASUs) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). ASUs issued were assessed and have already been adopted in a prior period or determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The measurement period for the valuation of net assets acquired ends as soon as information on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date becomes available, but not to exceed 12 months following the acquisition date. As the Company finalizes valuations, adjustments in purchase price allocations may require a change in the amounts allocated to net assets acquired during the periods in which the adjustments are determined.
Pro forma financial information is not presented for the above acquisitions as the effects of the acquisitions individually and in the aggregate are not material to the Company's results of operations or financial position prior to the acquisition dates.
Summary Purchase Price Allocations
The fair values assigned to certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as of the acquisition dates, are as follows for the 2021 acquisitions:
| Deep Sea | ecobee | All Other | Total | |||||||||||||
| Accounts receivable | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||

3. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

On February 1, 2019, the Company acquired a
For both transactions, the redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at the greater of the initial fair value, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interests’ share of comprehensive income (loss), or the estimated redemption value, with any adjustments to the redemption value impacting retained earnings, but not net income. However, the redemption value adjustments are reflected in the earnings per share calculation, as detailed in Note 13, “Earnings Per Share,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The following table presents the changes in the redeemable noncontrolling interest:

4. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company records all derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which requires derivative instruments to be reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and establishes criteria for designation and effectiveness of hedging relationships. The Company is exposed to market risk such as changes in commodity prices, foreign currencies and interest rates. The Company does hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
The Company periodically utilizes commodity derivatives and foreign currency forward purchase and sales contracts in the normal course of business. Because these contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting, the related gains and losses are recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. These gains and losses are not material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.
Interest Rate Swaps
In 2017, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements, eight of which were still outstanding as of June 30, 2022. In December 2019, in conjunction with an amendment to its term loan, the Company amended those interest rate swaps to remove the LIBOR floor, which also resulted in minor reductions to the future dated swap fixed rates. In March 2020, the Company entered into additional interest rate swap agreements, bringing the total outstanding interest rate swaps to
In June 2022, in conjunction with the amendments to the Company's credit agreements discussed further in Note 11, “Credit Agreements,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company amended its interest rate swaps to match that of the underlying debt and reconfirmed hedge effectiveness. The Company formally documented all relationships between interest rate hedging instruments and the related hedged items, as well as its risk-management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions. These interest rate swap agreements qualify as cash flow hedges and therefore, the effective portions of their gains or losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The amount of gains, net of tax, recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were $

5. Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring basis or nonrecurring basis. ASC 820-10 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the pronouncement establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company believes the carrying amount of its financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term borrowings, revolving facility borrowings, and ABL facility borrowings), excluding Term Loan borrowings, approximates the fair value of these instruments based upon their short-term nature. The fair value of Term Loan borrowings, which have an aggregate carrying value of $
For the fair value of the derivatives measured on a recurring basis, refer to the fair value table in Note 4, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The fair value of all derivative contracts is classified as Level 2. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of derivative contracts, all of which have counterparties with high credit ratings, were based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair value of derivative contracts above considers the Company’s credit risk in accordance with ASC 820-10.
Contingent Consideration
Certain of the Company's business combinations involve potential payment of future consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones or performance targets. As part of purchase accounting, a liability is recorded for the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date. The fair value of the contingent consideration is remeasured at each reporting period, and the change in fair value is recognized within general and administrative expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. This fair value measurement of contingent consideration is categorized as a Level 3 liability, as the measurement amount is based primarily on significant inputs not observable in the market.
The June 30, 2022 fair value is reported as $

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations and projections relating to our 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.
The forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report are based on assumptions that we have made in light of our industry experience and on our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider this report, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and assumptions. Although we believe that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect our actual financial results and cause them to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report include estimates regarding:
| ● |
our business, financial and operating results, and future economic performance; |
| ● |
proposed new product and service offerings; and |
| ● |
management's goals, expectations, objectives, and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. |

| ● | the duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; | |
| ● |
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; |
| ● |
changes in environmental, health and safety, or product compliance laws and regulations affecting our products, operations, or customer demand; and |
|
| ● | significant legal proceedings, claims, lawsuits, or government investigations. |
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of these assumptions prove incorrect, our 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 our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report 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 us in this report speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake 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.
Overview
Generac is a leading energy technology solutions company that provides backup and prime power generation systems for residential and commercial & industrial (C&I) applications, solar + battery storage solutions, energy management devices and controls, advanced power grid software platforms and services, and engine- and battery-powered tools and equipment. We are committed to sustainable, cleaner energy products poised to revolutionize the 21st century electrical grid. As an energy technology company that is “Powering a Smarter World”, our corporate purpose is to lead the evolution to more resilient, efficient, and sustainable energy solutions around the world.
We have a long history of providing power generation products across a variety of applications, and we maintain one of the leading market positions in the power equipment markets in North America and an expanding presence internationally. We believe we have one of the widest ranges of products in the power generation marketplace, including residential and C&I standby generators; as well as portable and mobile generators used in a variety of applications. In recent years, the Company has been evolving its business model to focus on building out a residential and C&I ecosystem of energy technology products, solutions, and services. As part of this evolution, we have made significant investments into rapidly growing new markets such as residential clean energy storage, solar microinverters, and energy monitoring and management devices, all of which are distributed energy resources (DERs) that can be aggregated into virtual power plants (VPPs) within grid services programs. In addition, a key strategic focus has been leveraging our leading position in the growing market for cleaner burning natural gas fueled generators to expand into applications beyond standby power, allowing us to participate in Energy-as-a-Service and microgrid projects for C&I applications.
We have also made investments in next-generation platforms and controls for both residential and C&I applications that facilitate the connection of our products to the grid. Expanding these capabilities will enable the increasing utilization of our equipment as DERs as the nascent market for grid services expands over the next several years. Our growing presence in grid services programs will enhance the value of our power generation and storage products that might otherwise sit idle, as they are now able to be dispatched and orchestrated as part of a distributed energy solution, thereby generating additional return-on-investment for the home or business owner while also delivering value to utilities and energy retailers by helping to balance, support and enhance the reliability of the electrical grid. As the traditional centralized utility model evolves over time, we believe that a more decarbonized, digitized, and decentralized grid infrastructure will build-out, and Generac's energy technology solutions are uniquely and strategically positioned to participate in this next-generation grid referred to as "Grid 2.0".
As our traditional power generation markets continue to grow due to multiple mega-trends that are driving increased penetration of our products, we believe we are in an excellent position to execute on this opportunity given our competitive strengths. In addition, our focus on more resilient, efficient and sustainable energy solutions has dramatically increased our served addressable market, and as a result, we believe that Generac is well-positioned for success over the long term.
Mega-Trends, Strategic Growth Themes, and Additional Business Drivers
In 2021, we unveiled our “Powering A Smarter World” strategic plan, which serves as the framework for the significant investments we have made and will continue to make to capitalize on the long-term growth prospects of Generac. Our enterprise strategy is guided by a number of key mega-trends that we believe will drive several significant strategic growth themes for our business. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for more information on our "Powering A Smarter World" strategic plan.
Key Mega-Trends:
| ● |
"Grid 2.0": which is the evolution of the traditional electrical utility model, includes the decarbonization, digitization, and decentralization 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 volatile and severe weather driving increased power outage activity. |
|
| ● | Natural gas is expected to be an important fuel of the future: as natural gas will remain in demand as a source of reliable power generation for backup power and beyond standby applications. | |
| ● | Legacy infrastructure needs a major investment cycle: to rebuild and upgrade aging networks and systems including transportation, water and power. | |
| ● | Telecommunications infrastructure shifting to next generation: which involves the “5G” architecture that will enable new technologies requiring significant improvement in network uptime through backup power solutions. | |
| ● | Home as a Sanctuary: in recent years, there has been a trend of more people working, shopping, entertaining, aging in place, and generally spending more time at home. As a result of this and the electrification of everything trend, homeowners are becoming increasingly sensitive to power outages due to lost productivity and functionality. These trends combined with ongoing elevated power outage activity has led to significantly increased awareness regarding the importance and need for backup power security. |
Strategic Growth Themes:
Power quality issues continue to increase. Power disruptions are an important driver of consumer 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 outage event for standby generators. Energy storage systems offer similar resiliency advantages to consumers and can benefit from these same awareness drivers, at least for short duration power outages. The optional standby market for C&I power generation is also driven by power quality issues and the related need for back up power. Baseline outage activity in each of the past five years has been above the long-term average as climate change has driven an increase in severe weather activity, while an aging and underinvested electrical grid infrastructure remains highly vulnerable to such activity. Additionally, rapid growth in renewable power sources such as solar and wind is resulting in increased intermittency of supply, further impairing the reliable supply of electricity at a time when demand is starting to increase meaningfully with the electrification of a wide range of consumer and commercial products, including transportation, HVAC systems, and other major appliances. Further, in California, Public Safety Power Shutoff events have taken place whereby public utilities have turned off power supply to their customers under certain circumstances to prevent their transmission equipment from starting wildfires, which we anticipate may continue in the future. Taken together, we expect these factors to continue driving increased awareness of the need for backup power and demand for Generac’s products within multiple categories.
Home standby penetration opportunity is significant. Many potential customers are still not aware of the costs and benefits of automatic backup power solutions. With only approximately 5.5% penetration of the addressable market of homes in the United States (which we define as single-family detached, owner-occupied households with a home value of over $125,000, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau's 2019 American Housing Survey for the United States), we believe there are significant opportunities to further penetrate the residential standby generator market both domestically and internationally. 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 home standby generators. Additionally, Smart Grid Ready capabilities have the potential to turn an asset previously utilized only in emergency power outage situations into a source of recurring revenue for the homeowner and a contributor to grid stability for utilities and grid operators, therefore driving incremental interest in the product category.
Solar, storage, monitoring and management markets developing quickly. During 2019, we entered the rapidly developing energy storage, monitoring and management markets with the introduction of PWRcell™ and PWRview™. In 2021, we expanded our capabilities in the residential solar market with the introduction of the PWRmicro, a grid-interactive microinverter which is expected to be available in 2022. In addition, in 2021, we acquired ecobee, a leader in sustainable home technology solutions. We believe ecobee’s technologies combined with Generac’s product offering will allow us to create a clean, efficient, and reliable home energy ecosystem and platform that will save homeowners money and help grid operators meet the challenges of an electrical grid under increasing stress by providing solutions to better balance supply and demand. We believe the electric utility landscape will undergo significant changes in the decade ahead due to 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 renewable sources such as solar and wind, and cleaner-burning 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. We expect to further advance our growing capabilities in clean energy by increasing our product development, sourcing, distribution, and marketing efforts, as we leverage our significant competencies in the residential standby generator market to accelerate our market position in the emerging residential solar, storage, monitoring and management markets.
Grid services and Energy-as-a-Service open new revenue streams. We expect the evolution of the traditional electrical utility model toward decarbonized, digitized, and decentralized solutions will continue to drive the need for grid operators to access and control distributed energy resources (DERs). This will require highly intelligent software platforms that are able to optimize an increasingly complex supply and demand equation, such as our Concerto™ software platform. As the grid services market matures, Generac will continue to explore new opportunities beyond the traditional software-as-a-service subscription model, including but not limited to the aggregation and sale of power from a fleet of DERs in performance-based contracts, wholesale power market participation, turn-key solutions that combine hardware and software with services, and other monitoring and management services. Additionally, growing interest in our products across a variety of residential and C&I “beyond standby” applications is driving an increase in demand for subscription-like models for end customers, in which Generac will partner with third parties to deliver peace of mind and resiliency solutions while also enabling contributions to grid stability with minimal upfront capital outlays. The significant advancements made in recent years in the connectivity of our products is core to these newer capabilities, which play a key role in the evolution of Generac into an energy technology solutions company.
Natural gas generators driving strong growth. Natural gas will continue to be an important and cleaner transition fuel of the future as the world continues to shift towards lower emission power generation sources. Demand for natural gas generators continues to represent an increasing portion of the overall C&I market, which we believe will continue to grow at a faster rate than traditional diesel fueled generators. We also continue to explore and expand our capabilities within the gaseous generator market, including continuous-duty, prime rated, distributed generation, demand response, microgrids and overall use as a distributed energy resource in areas where grid stability is needed. Many of these applications are made possible by our natural gas generators having Smart Grid Ready capabilities, which allows for end users to participate in grid services programs, helping to offset the purchase price of the equipment over the product’s lifespan. Expanding our natural gas product offering into larger power nodes is also a part of this growth theme in taking advantage of the continuing shift from diesel to natural gas generators.
Rollout of 5G will require improved network quality. As the number of “connected” devices continues to rapidly increase and wireless networks are now being considered critical infrastructure in the United States, network reliability and up-time are necessary for our increasingly connected society. This will require highly resilient cell tower sites across the network, and therefore necessitates the need for backup power sources on site at these cell towers. Generac is the leading supplier of backup power to the telecommunications market in the United States, where approximately half of all existing tower sites have yet to be hardened with backup power. As more mission-critical data is transmitted over wireless networks, we believe this penetration rate must increase considerably to maintain a higher level of reliability across the network. Increased adoption of high-speed wireless networks around the globe may lead to similar demand trends internationally as growing cell tower density and the need for onsite backup power expand the market opportunity for our international telecom operations. We have relationships with key Tier 1 carriers and tower companies globally in addition to having the distribution partners to support the global market from a service standpoint. We believe these factors coupled with Generac’s ability to customize solutions to each customer’s need help us to maintain our strength within the global telecommunications market.
Other Business Drivers
Impact of residential investment cycle. The market for a number of our residential products is 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 patterns. Finally, the existence of renewable energy mandates, investment tax credits and other subsidies can also have an impact on the demand for solar and 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 cycles 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 and market conditions 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 in the countries where we serve, as well as credit availability in those regions.
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. 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 currently experiencing today involving 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 labor shortages and increased employee absences at our production facilities. 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 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, beyond these, the impact to our customers thus far has not been significant. This could change if freight carriers are delayed or not able to operate.
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 continue 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, 2021.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict. In February 2022, Russia commenced military action against Ukraine. In response, the U.S. and certain other countries imposed significant sanctions and export controls against Russia, Belarus and certain individuals and entities connected to Russian or Belarusian political, business, and financial organizations. In March 2022, we announced our suspension of operations and sales in Russia. Our sales to customers in Russia and Ukraine represented less than 1% of our total revenue for the year ended on December 31, 2021, and therefore the impact on our financial results is not expected to be material. However, the situation remains uncertain and it is difficult to predict the impact that the conflict and actions taken in response to the conflict will have on our business; and in particular, the situation could increase our costs, disrupt our supply chain, significantly hinder our ability to find materials or key single-sourced components we need to make certain products, or otherwise adversely affect our business and results of operations.
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 in recent years have increased our use of advanced electronic components and battery cells, as well as further expanded our commercial and operational presence outside of the United States. Our 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, there continues to be significant raw material and other cost pressures, ongoing logistics challenges, and various supply chain constraints, which are resulting in higher input costs and delays for certain of our products that are reducing our margins.
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. We have implemented multiple price increases over the past year to help mitigate the impact of rising costs, and we continued to realize the benefit of these pricing actions in the second quarter with the full realization occurring in the second half of 2022 as the higher pricing continues to work through backlog. 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 22% of our net sales occurred in the first quarter, 22% to 25% in the second quarter, 25% 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.
Elevated power outage activity in recent years 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. This increased demand has resulted in extended lead times for these products, and as a result, our net sales during 2022 are expected to experience an increasing trend on a quarterly basis as we increase our production capacity for home standby generators throughout the year.
Factors influencing interest expense. Interest expense can be impacted by a variety of factors, including market fluctuations in SOFR, interest rate election periods, interest rate swap agreements, repayments or borrowings of indebtedness, and amendments to our credit agreements. In connection with our credit agreement amendment in June 2022, SOFR became the new benchmark interest rate for the new Tranche A Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Facility and all LIBOR provisions to the existing Tranche B Term Loan Facility were replaced with SOFR provisions. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, interest expense increased compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to increased borrowings and higher interest 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. As of December 31, 2021, the tax-deductible goodwill and intangible assets from our acquisition by CCMP Capital Advisors, LLC in 2006 were fully amortized. This will result in a higher cash income tax obligation in 2022 and 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, 2021.

Net sales. Domestic segment total sales (including inter-segment sales) increased 42.1% to $1,126.4 million as compared to $792.9 million in the prior year quarter, with the impact of non-annualized acquisitions contributing $50.0 million of the revenue growth for the quarter. The strong core sales growth was led by home standby generators, while C&I channels also experienced significant year-over-year growth in the quarter, highlighted by national rental equipment and telecom customers and the industrial distributor channel.
International segment total sales (including inter-segment sales) increased 42.8% to $203.3 million as compared to $142.4 million in the prior year quarter, with the net impact of non-annualized acquisitions and foreign currency contributing $13.3 million of the revenue growth for the quarter. The core sales growth for the segment was driven by growth across all major regions as compared to the prior year quarter, most notably in Europe and Latin America.
The net sales contribution from all non-annualized recent acquisitions for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $73.4 million.
Gross profit. Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2022 was 35.4% compared to 36.9% in the prior year second quarter. Gross margins continued to be impacted by higher input costs resulting from supply chain challenges and the overall inflationary environment, including increased commodity prices, logistics costs, and labor. These costs were mostly offset by the growing realization of previously implemented pricing actions and favorable sales mix. The increasing benefit of pricing actions implemented over the past several quarters and projected easing of input costs are expected to result in gross margins continuing to improve in the second half of the year.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased $83.4 million, or 53.2%, as compared to the prior year second quarter, including a $14.8 million increase in acquisition-related amortization expense. The remaining increase was primarily driven by the impact of recurring operating expenses from recent acquisitions, increased employee costs, and additional variable expenses from the significant increase in sales volumes.
Other expense. The increase in Other expense, net was driven by an increase in interest expense due to increased borrowings and higher interest rates in the current year quarter, as well as a $3.7 million non-cash write-off of original issue discount and deferred financing costs due to our credit agreement refinancing during the current year quarter.
Provision for income taxes. The effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 22.5% and 26.6%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a discrete tax item in the prior year quarter resulting from a legislative tax rate change in a foreign jurisdiction that unfavorably revalued deferred tax liabilities by $7.0 million, or approximately 4% tax rate impact to the prior year.
Net income attributable to Generac Holdings Inc. Net income attributable to Generac Holdings Inc. was $156.4 million as compared to $127.0 million in the prior year second quarter. This increase was primarily driven by increased operating earnings due to the factors outlined above.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the Domestic segment in the second quarter of 2022 was $241.9 million, or 21.5% of domestic segment total sales, as compared to $203.9 million, or 25.7% of total sales, in the prior year quarter. This margin performance was primarily impacted by the higher input costs and the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by pricing benefits and favorable sales mix.
Adjusted EBITDA for the International segment in the second quarter of 2022, before deducting for non-controlling interests, was $29.5 million, or 14.5% of international segment total sales, as compared to $13.7 million, or 9.7% of total sales, in the prior year quarter. This strong margin performance was primarily driven by the positive impact of recent acquisitions and improved operating leverage on higher sales volumes.
Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted Net Income of $193.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased 26.3% from $153.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily driven by increased net income due to the factors outlined above, the add-back of amortization of intangible assets, and an increase in GAAP income tax expense relative to cash income tax expense in the prior year.
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 total sales (including inter-segment sales) increased 40.8% to $2,101.4 million as compared to $1,492.4 million in the prior year, with the impact of non-annualized acquisitions contributing $83.7 million of the revenue growth for the quarter. The strong core sales growth was led by home standby generators and PWRcell™ energy storage systems, while C&I channels also experienced significant year-over-year growth, highlighted by national rental equipment and telecom customers and the industrial distributor channel.
International segment total sales (including inter-segment sales) increased 50.1% to $388.8 million as compared to $259.1 million in the prior year, with the net impact of non-annualized acquisitions and foreign currency contributing $39.0 million of the revenue growth for the quarter. The core sales growth for the segment was driven by growth across all major regions as compared to the prior year, most notably in Europe and Latin America.
The net sales contribution from all non-annualized recent acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $138.0 million.
Gross profit. Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 33.7% compared to 38.3% in the prior year. Gross margins were pressured by higher input costs resulting from supply chain challenges and the overall inflationary environment, including increased commodity prices, logistics costs, and labor. These higher costs were partially offset by the lagging realization of previously implemented pricing actions and favorable sales mix. The full realization of pricing actions implemented over the past several quarters and projected easing of input costs are expected to result in gross margins continuing to improve in the second half of the year.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased $156.7 million, or 54.1%, as compared to the prior year, including a $31.9 million increase in acquisition-related amortization expense. The remaining increase was primarily driven by the impact of recurring operating expenses from recent acquisitions, increased employee costs, and additional variable expenses from the significant increase in sales volumes.
Other expense. The increase in Other expense, net was driven by an increase in interest expense due to increased borrowings and higher interest rates in the current year quarter, as well as a $3.7 million non-cash write-off of original issue discount and deferred financing costs due to our credit agreement refinancing during the current year quarter.
Provision for income taxes. The effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were 21.3% and 22.7%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a discrete tax item in the prior year second quarter resulting from a legislative tax rate change in a foreign jurisdiction that unfavorably revalued deferred tax liabilities, increasing the effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 by approximately 1.9%. This adjustment from the prior year was partially offset in the current year by the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions where the Company operates.
Net income attributable to Generac Holdings Inc. Net income attributable to Generac Holdings Inc. was $270.2 million as compared to $276.0 million in the prior year period. This reduction was primarily driven by decreased operating earnings due to the factors outlined above.
Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the Domestic segment was $412.3 million, or 19.6% of domestic segment total sales, as compared to $411.0 million, or 27.5% of total sales, in the prior year period. This margin performance was primarily impacted by the higher input costs and the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by pricing benefits and favorable sales mix.
Adjusted EBITDA for the International segment, before deducting for non-controlling interests, was $55.5 million, or 14.3% of international segment total sales, as compared to $20.9 million, or 8.1% of total sales, in the prior year period. This strong margin performance was primarily driven by the positive impact of recent acquisitions and improved operating leverage on significantly higher sales volumes.
Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted Net Income of $328.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased 7.5% from $305.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily driven by the add-back of amortization of intangible assets partially off-set by decreased net income due to the factors outlined above.
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 new Revolving Facility.
Our credit agreements originally provided for a $1.2 billion term loan B credit facility (Tranche B Term Loan Facility) and include a $300.0 million uncommitted incremental term loan facility. Additionally, our credit agreements also provided for a $500.0 million ABL Facility that was paid off and terminated in June 2022.
In June 2022, we amended and restated the existing credit agreements by entering into a new credit agreement (Amended Credit Agreement) that established a new term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $750 million (Tranche A Term Loan Facility), established a new revolving facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1.25 billion (Revolving Facility), terminated the ABL Facility, and replaced all LIBOR provisions to the existing Tranche B Term Loan Facility with SOFR provisions. Proceeds received from the Tranche A Term Loan Facility were used to repay the total existing outstanding balance on our former ABL Facility, make a $250 million voluntary prepayment on our Tranche B Term Loan Facility, with the remaining funds to be used for future general corporate purposes. As a result of the prepayments, we wrote off $3.5 million of original issue discount and capitalized debt issuance costs during the second quarter of 2022 as a loss on extinguishment of debt in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The Revolving Facility was unfunded at closing.
There are no installment payments required on the Tranche B Term Loan Facility until the maturity date.
The Tranche A Term Loan Facility is repayable in quarterly installments of 0.0% of the original principal amount for each of the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2022 through and including June 30, 2023, 2.5% of the original principal amount for each of the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2023 through and including June 30, 2024, 5.0% of the original principal amount for each of the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2024 through and including June 30, 2025, 7.5% of the original principal amount for each of the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2025 through and including June 30, 2026, and 10% of the original principal amount for each of the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2026 through and including March 31, 2027, with the remaining principal balance due and payable on the maturity date.
As of June 30, 2022, there was $530 million outstanding under the Tranche B Term Loan Facility, $750 million outstanding under the Tranche A Term Loan Facility, and no borrowings outstanding on our Revolving Facility, leaving $1,249.5 million of availability, net of outstanding letters of credit. Our Tranche B Term Loan Facility 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 SOFR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75%, subject to a SOFR floor of 0.0%. Our Tranche A Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Facility mature on June 29, 2027 and initially bear interest at a rate based upon adjusted SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.5% through December 31, 2022, subject to a SOFR floor of 0.0%. Beginning on January 1, 2023, the Tranche A Term Loan Facility and Revolving Facility will bear interest at a rate based upon adjusted SOFR plus an applicable margin between 1.25% and 1.75%, based upon the Company's total leverage ratio and subject to a SOFR floor of 0.0%.
The Tranche B Term Loan Facility does not require an Excess Cash Flow payment (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) if our secured leverage ratio is maintained below 3.75 to 1.00 times. As of June 30, 2022, our secured leverage ratio was 1.09 to 1.00 times, and we are in compliance with all covenants of the Tranche B Term Loan Facility. Additionally, the Tranche A Term Loan Facility and Revolving Facility added certain financial covenants that require us to maintain a total leverage below 3.75 to 1.00 as well as an interest coverage ratio above 3.00 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2022, our total leverage ratio was 1.18 to 1.00 times, and our interest coverage ratio was 25.56 to 1.00. We are also in compliance with all other covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2022.
As of June 30, 2022, we had $1,716.6 million of liquidity comprised of $467.1 million of cash and equivalents and $1,249.5 million available under our Revolving Facility. We believe this strong liquidity position will allow us to execute our strategic plan and provides the flexibility to continue to invest in future growth opportunities.
In September 2020, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program, which commenced on October 27, 2020, and allows for the repurchase of up to $250 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, 2022 and 2021, no share repurchases were made under this plan. Subsequent to the quarter, we repurchased 536,633 shares of our common stock for $123.9 million, all funded with cash on hand. Since the inception of all stock repurchase programs (starting in August 2015), we have repurchased 9,563,339 shares of our common stock for $555.4 million (at an average cost per share of $58.08), all funded with cash on hand. Additionally, on July 29, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved another stock repurchase program, which commenced on August 5, 2022, and allows for the repurchase of up to $500,000 of the Company's common stock over a 24-month period.
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 for more information on our credit agreements and stock repurchase programs.
We have an arrangement with a finance company to provide floor plan financing for selected dealers. This arrangement provides liquidity for our dealers by financing dealer purchases of Generac products with credit availability from the finance company. We receive payment from the finance company after shipment of product to the dealer, and our dealers are given a longer period of time to pay the finance company. If our dealers do not pay the finance company, we may be required to repurchase the applicable inventory held by the dealer. We do not indemnify the finance company for any credit losses they may incur. The amount financed by dealers which remained outstanding was $238.6 million and $115.9 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Long-term Liquidity
We believe that our cash flow from operations and availability under our Revolving Facility and other short-term lines of credit, combined with our cash on hand, provide us with sufficient capital to fund our operations into the future. We may use a portion of our cash flow to pay principal on our outstanding debt, fund acquisitions, 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, acquisitions, or share repurchases.
Cash Flow

The decline in operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to significantly higher working capital investment in the current year given our substantial growth coupled with the challenging supply chain environment.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily represents cash payments of $46.5 million related to the purchase of property and equipment, $11.4 million related to the acquisition of businesses, and $10.2 million for a contribution to an equity method investment, which were partially offset by cash proceeds from the sale of property and equipment of $1.9 million, cash proceeds from beneficial interests in securitization transactions of $1.8 million, and cash proceeds from the sale of an investment of $1.3 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily represents cash payments of $419.0 million related to the acquisition of businesses and $54.2 million related to the purchase of property and equipment, which were partially offset by cash proceeds from the sale of an investment of $4.9 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 primarily represents proceeds of $935.0 million from long-term borrowings, $216.7 million from short-term borrowings, and $10.4 million from the exercise of stock options. These cash proceeds were partially offset by $746.6 million of debt repayments ($208.2 million of short-term borrowings and $538.4 million of long-term borrowings and finance lease obligations), $38.3 million of taxes paid related to equity awards, and $10.3 million for payment of debt issuance costs.
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily represents $126.8 million of debt repayments ($73.7 million of 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.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations since the February 22, 2022 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, except for the amendment and restatement of our credit agreements as discussed in Note 11, “Credit Agreements,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Critical Accounting Policies
As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, 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 22, 2022 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
The computation of Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Generac Holdings Inc. is based on the definition of EBITDA contained in the Amended Credit Agreement. 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 2022 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 Amended Credit Agreement, and 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.
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 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 Amended Credit Agreement, 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, certain foreign currency related adjustments, and certain purchase accounting and contingent consideration 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 prepayments of 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 Amended Credit Agreement, 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) The current year period predominantly represents severance and other non-recurring restructuring charges related to the suspension of operations at certain of our facilities.
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 adjusted for the following items: 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. In addition, for periods prior to 2022, adjusted net income reflects cash income tax expense due to the existence of the tax shield from the amortization of tax-deductible goodwill and intangible assets from the acquisition of the Company by CCMP Capital Advisors, LLC in 2006. Due to the expiration of this tax shield in the fourth quarter of 2021, there is no similar reconciling item starting in 2022.
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.
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 |
| • |

(a) Represents transaction costs incurred directly in connection with any investment, as defined in our credit agreement, equity issuance or debt issuance or refinancing, and certain purchase accounting and contingent consideration adjustments.
(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 at the time of approximately 21.0% to 21.5% for the full year ended December 31, 2021 due to the existence of the tax shield from the amortization of tax-deductible goodwill and intangible assets from our acquisition by CCMP Capital Advisors, LLC in 2006. Due to the expiration of this tax shield in the fourth quarter of 2021, there is no similar reconciling item for the current year period. For comparative purposes to the current year, using the GAAP income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 would result in an adjusted net income per diluted share of $2.25 and $4.67, respectively, on a pro forma basis.
