Item 2.02��������������Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On November 6, 2014, Generac Holdings Inc. (the Company, we, us or our) issued a press release (the Press Release) announcing its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014. 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 and Free Cash Flow which are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP. We present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash Flow 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 and Free Cash Flow:

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 and Free Cash Flow 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 and Free Cash Flow are useful to investors for the following reasons:

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash Flow and similar non-GAAP measures are widely used by investors to measure a companys 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 and Free Cash Flow in different historical periods, our investors can evaluate our operating performance excluding the impact of certain items.

Generac Reports Third Quarter 2014 Results


WAUKESHA, WISCONSIN, (November 6, 2014)  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 third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Third quarter 2014 Highlights

Net sales were $352.3 million during the third quarter of 2014 as compared to $363.3 million in the prior-year third quarter.

-

Residential product sales were $183.7 million during the third quarter as compared to $192.7 million in the prior-year quarter, primarily due to a decline in portable generator sales and, to a lesser extent, shipments of home standby generators.

-

Commercial & Industrial (C&I) product sales were $146.4 million during the third quarter as compared to $151.5 million in the prior-year quarter. Contributions from recent acquisitions and strength in oil & gas markets were more than offset by a decline in shipments to telecom national account customers.

Net income during the third quarter of 2014 was $36.5 million, or $0.52 per share, as compared to $47.1 million, or $0.67 per share, for the same period of 2013. Adjusted net income, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $57.9 million, or $0.83 per share, as compared to $73.7 million, or $1.06 per share, in the third quarter of 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $83.1 million as compared to $100.1 million in the third quarter last year.

Cash flow from operations in the third quarter of 2014 was $57.2 million as compared to $80.9 million in the prior year quarter. Free cash flow, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $47.8 million as compared to $76.7 million in the third quarter of 2013.

For the trailing four quarters, including the third quarter of 2014, net sales were $1.433 billion; net income was $173.7 million; adjusted EBITDA was $348.7 million; cash flow from operations was $247.2 million; and free cash flow was $208.0 million.

On September 1, 2014, the Company acquired Pramac America, LLC, resulting in the ownership of the Powermate trade name and the right to license the DeWalt brand name for certain residential engine powered tools. The transaction also included working capital associated with these products. This acquisition helps to expand the Generac brand portfolio across its residential product platform and increases its product offering in the portable generator category.

As previously announced, on October 1, 2014, the Company acquired MAC, Inc. and its related entities (MAC), a leading manufacturer of premium-grade commercial and industrial mobile heaters within the U.S. and Canada. The acquisition expands the Companys portfolio of mobile power products and provides increased access to the oil & gas market.

Home standby generator sales improved at a solid rate as compared to the second quarter of 2014, as we continue to build awareness and expand our leadership position for this product category. Despite current market conditions where power outage severity has been well below normal, we believe the penetration opportunity that exists for home standby generators remains significant, said Aaron Jagdfeld, President and Chief Executive Officer. Our C&I product sales continued to experience good momentum within the oil & gas market, while capital spending with certain telecom customers was lower in the quarter resulting in reduced shipments to this end market. On the acquisition front, we have been active in recent months by closing two transactions which broaden our residential engine powered tool product line and expand our C&I mobile products platform, while also increasing our exposure to the oil & gas market. We remain focused on our Powering Ahead strategic plan by proactively executing on a number of growth initiatives to drive a new and higher baseline of demand for our products.

Additional Third quarter 2014 Highlights

Residential product sales for the third quarter of 2014 improved on a sequential basis to $183.7 million from $179.6 million in the second quarter of 2014, driven by a solid increase in shipments of home standby generators partially offset by a normal seasonal decline in power washer sales. Residential product sales declined on a year-over-year basis from $192.7 million for the third quarter of 2013 as the prior year was still benefiting from the afterglow period of demand from Superstorm Sandy. Also, the third quarter of 2014 continued to experience a power outage severity environment that remained below normalized levels. These factors resulted in a year-over-year decline in portable generator sales and, to a lesser extent, shipments of home standby generators.

C&I product sales for the third quarter of 2014 were $146.4 million as compared to $151.5 million for the comparable period in 2013. Shipments to telecom national account customers declined in the current year quarter as compared to the prior year primarily resulting from reduced capital spending by certain customers. This decline was partially offset by contributions from recent acquisitions and strength in oil & gas markets.

Gross profit margin for the third quarter of 2014 was 37.0% compared to 38.4% in the prior-year third quarter. The decline was primarily driven by an increase in promotional activities during the current year quarter along with the mix impact from recent acquisitions. These declines were partially offset by a higher mix of home standby generators and lower mix of organic C&I product shipments.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2014 increased $7.3 million, or 14.0%, as compared to the third quarter of 2013. The increase was driven by a $5.6 million favorable adjustment to warranty reserves in the third quarter of 2013 that did not repeat in the current year, along with increased marketing and advertising expenses and the addition of operating expenses associated with recent acquisitions.

Interest expense in the third quarter of 2014 was $12.3 million, which was largely flat as compared to $12.5 million in the prior year. During the third quarter of 2014, a voluntary $50 million pre-payment of term loan debt was made which resulted in the recording of a $1.8 million loss on extinguishment of debt.

2014 Outlook

The Company is revising its prior guidance for revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margins for full year 2014 resulting from a power outage environment that remains well below normalized levels, a reduced level of capital spending with certain telecom customers and the continued overall economic softness in Latin America. For the full-year 2014, the Company now expects net sales to decline in the mid-single digit range over the prior year, and adjusted EBITDA margins are now expected to be in the low-to-mid 20% range. Free cash flow is expected to remain strong for the full year 2014 as a result of this strong margin profile, together with a low cost of debt, favorable tax attributes and capital-efficient operating model.

Although current market conditions were below our expectations in the third quarter of 2014, we believe the numerous long-term growth opportunities that impact our business remain in place, continued Mr. Jagdfeld. With our strong balance sheet and free cash flow generation profile, we are confident in our ability to continue to invest in the future growth of the business, both organically and through acquisitions. In doing this, we expect to drive further penetration of standby generators as well as benefit from being a more balanced and globally-focused company, as we further implement our diversification and international expansion strategies.

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;

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; 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 2013 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, which is substantially the same definition that was contained in the Companys previous credit agreements. 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.
