Generac Holdings (GNRC) Tops Q1 EPS by 24c, widens its guidance ranges

025 Outlook
As a result of higher tariff levels, uncertain government policy actions, and a potentially softer global macroeconomic environment, the range of forecasted outcomes for our business has expanded relative to our prior guidance. Due to these factors, the Company is widening its guidance ranges for key financial metrics for the full year 2025. This updated outlook assumes that current tariff levels remain in place for the remainder of the year.
The Company now expects full-year 2025 net sales growth to be between 0 to 7% compared to the prior year, which includes an approximate 1% favorable impact from foreign currency and acquisitions. This compares to our previous guidance range of 3 to 7% net sales growth compared to the prior year as price increases have the potential to be more than offset by lower shipment volumes.
Additionally, the Company now expects net income margin, before deducting for non-controlling interests, to be approximately 6.5 to 8.5% for the full-year 2025. The corresponding adjusted EBITDA margin is now expected to be approximately 17.0 to 19.0% compared to our previous guidance range of 18.0 to 19.0%. This updated guidance range considers the potential impact of unfavorable operating leverage on lower shipment volumes, while the estimated impact of higher tariffs is expected to be fully offset by pricing actions and supply chain initiatives.
The Company continues to expect strong free cash flow for the full year, with free cash flow conversion from adjusted net income between 70 to 90%.
