Generac Holdings (GNRC) Tops Q2 EPS by 4c
Generac Holdings (NYSE: GNRC) reported Q2 EPS of $0.69, $0.04 better than the analyst estimate of $0.65. Revenue for the quarter came in at $395.4 million versus the consensus estimate of $383.43 million.
2017 Outlook Update
The Company is increasing its prior guidance for revenue growth for full-year 2017, which is primarily due to an improved outlook for domestic mobile products, as well as higher international segment sales from a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar. Full year net sales are now expected to increase between 6 to 8% as compared to the prior year, with core organic growth of between 2 to 3%. As a result of an unfavorable shift in sales mix and foreign currency impacts, the Company is revising its prior guidance for net income and adjusted EBITDA margins for the full year 2017. Net income margins, before deducting for non-controlling interests, are now expected to be between 7.0 to 7.5%, while adjusted EBITDA margins, also before deducting for non-controlling interests, are now expected to be approximately 18.5% for the full year 2017.
The top-line guidance assumes no material changes in the current macroeconomic environment and also assumes a power outage severity level for the remainder of the year similar to that experienced during 2016 excluding the impact of Hurricane Matthew. Operating and free cash flow generation is expected to seasonally increase during the second half, with the conversion of adjusted net income expected to be over 90% for the full year.
