WAUKESHA, Wis., Feb. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Generac Holdings Inc. (NYSE:GNRC) ("Generac" or the "Company"), a leading global designer and manufacturer of energy technology solutions and other power products, today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2025 and initiated its outlook for the full-year 2026.Fourth Quarter 2025 HighlightsNet sales decreased 12% to $1.09 billion during the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to $1.23 billion in the prior year fourth quarter. Acquisitions and foreign currency had a slight favorable impact of 1% during the quarter.Residential product sales decreased approximately 23% to $572 million as compared to $743 million last year. Continued weakness in power outage activity resulted in lower shipments of home standby and portable generators as compared to a much stronger outage environment in the prior year period.Commercial & Industrial ("C&I") product sales increased approximately 10% to $400 million as compared to $363 million in the prior year. This growth was primarily due to higher revenue from products sold to data center customers.Net loss attributable to the Company during the fourth quarter was ($24) million, or ($0.42) per share, as compared to net income of $117 million, or $2.15 per share, for the same period of 2024. The current quarter includes a $104.5 million provision for the settlement of a legal matter.Adjusted net income attributable to the Company, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $95 million, or $1.61 per share, as compared to $168 million, or $2.80 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2024.Adjusted EBITDA before deducting for noncontrolling interests, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $185 million, or 17.0% of net sales, as compared to $265 million, or 21.5% of net sales, in the prior year.Cash flow from operations was $189 million as compared to $339 million in the prior year. Free cash flow, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $130 million as compared to $286 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.Full-Year 2025 HighlightsNet sales decreased 2% to $4.21 billion during 2025 as compared to $4.30 billion in 2024. Acquisitions and foreign currency had a slight favorable impact of 1% during the year.Residential product sales decreased 7% to $2.27 billion as compared to $2.43 billion in the prior year.C&I product sales increased 5% to $1.46 billion as compared to $1.39 billion in the prior year.Net income attributable to the Company during 2025 was $160 million, or $2.69 per share, as compared to $316 million, or $5.39 per share for 2024.Adjusted net income attributable to the Company, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $376 million, or $6.34 per share, as compared to $438 million, or $7.27 per share, in 2024.Adjusted EBITDA before deducting for noncontrolling interests, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, for 2025 was $716 million, or 17.0% of net sales, as compared to $789 million, or 18.4% of net sales, in the prior year.Cash flow from operations was $438 million as compared to $741 million in the prior year. Free cash flow, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $268 million as compared to $605 million for 2024.The Company repurchased approximately 1.1 million shares of its common stock during 2025 for $148 million. Additionally, on February 9, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program that allows for the repurchase of up to $500 million of the Company's common stock over the next 24 months, replacing the remaining balance of the previous program.2026 HighlightsOn January 5th, the Company completed the acquisition of Allmand, a leading manufacturer of mobile power equipment for C&I markets, headquartered in Holdrege, Nebraska.The Company is initiating its full-year 2026 net sales growth guidance to be in the mid-teens percent range as compared to the prior year, which includes a 1% favorable impact from the net effect of foreign currency and completed acquisitions and divestitures. Adjusted EBITDA margin, before deducting for non-controlling interests, is expected to be approximately 18.0 to 19.0%."Although our fourth quarter results reflect a softer outage environment and lower shipments of home standby and portable generators, our momentum in the data center end market has further accelerated as we continue to develop our position as a key supplier to multiple hyperscale customers which are expected to add significant volumes to our backlog over the next several quarters," said Aaron Jagdfeld, President and Chief Executive Officer. "As a result, we are focused on dramatically increasing our capacity and capabilities for large megawatt generators, including the purchase of an additional manufacturing facility in Wisconsin in the fourth quarter and ongoing investments in our existing facilities around the world. These opportunities and investments put us well on our way to doubling our C&I product sales in the years ahead."Additional Fourth Quarter 2025 Consolidated HighlightsGross profit margin was 36.3% as compared to 40.6% in the prior-year fourth quarter. The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by unfavorable sales mix and a certain inventory provision in the current year quarter, as disclosed in the reconciliation schedules attached to this release. In addition, higher input costs and lower manufacturing absorption were mostly offset by increased price realization.Operating expenses increased to $405.4 million, or 34%, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $104.5 million provision for the settlement of a legal matter, as disclosed in the reconciliation schedules attached to this release.The Company had a ($3.7) million tax benefit for the current year quarter, or an effective tax rate of 13.4%, compared to a $27.3 million tax expense for the prior year, or an 18.9% effective tax rate. The lower effective tax rate was driven primarily by the impact of certain favorable discrete tax items and their impact on a lower pre-tax income in the current year.Cash flow from operations was $189 million during the fourth quarter, as compared to $339 million in the prior year. Free cash flow, as defined in the accompanying reconciliation schedules, was $130 million as compared to $286 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The change in free cash flow was primarily driven by a significant reduction in net working capital in the prior year which did not repeat and lower operating income in the current year, partially offset by lower cash tax payments. Fourth Quarter Business Segment ResultsDomestic SegmentDomestic segment total sales (including inter-segment sales) decreased approximately 17% to $889 million as compared to $1.07 billion in the prior year. This sales decrease was primarily driven by weaker home standby and portable generator shipments as a result of the lower power outage environment in the current year together with a strong prior year comparison which included multiple major landed hurricanes. This was partially offset by strength in residential energy technology sales and increased revenue from products sold to data center customers.Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was $151.5 million, or 17.0% of domestic segment total sales, as compared to $242.8 million, or 22.7% of total sales, in the prior year. This decline was primarily driven by unfavorable sales mix, higher input costs, and operating deleverage on lower sales volumes, partially offset by increased price realization.International SegmentInternational segment total sales (including inter-segment sales) increased approximately 12% to $209.2 million from $187.5 million in the prior year quarter, including an approximate 6% favorable impact from foreign currency. The core total sales growth for the segment was primarily driven by higher revenue for data center customers and an increase in global shipments for our controls product offering, partially offset by lower inter-segment sales.Adjusted EBITDA for the segment, before deducting for noncontrolling interests, was $33.7 million, or 16.1% of international segment total sales, as compared to $22.5 million, or 12.0% of total sales, in the prior year. This margin increase was primarily driven by favorable sales mix and improved price/cost realization.2026 OutlookThe Company is initiating guidance for full-year 2026 that anticipates strong net sales growth in the mid-teens percent range as compared to the prior year, which includes a 1% favorable impact from the net effect of foreign currency and completed acquisitions and divestitures. C&I product sales are expected to increase in the 30% range during the year, primarily due to increased revenue from products sold to data center customers and the recent acquisition of Allmand. Residential product sales are projected to increase in the 10% range from the prior year, driven by higher home standby generator price realization and increased shipments assuming a return to power outage activity in line with the longer-term baseline average for the remainder of the year.Additionally, the Company expects net income margin, before deducting for non-controlling interests, to be approximately 8.0 to 9.0% for the full-year 2026. The corresponding adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be approximately 18.0 to 19.0%.Conference Call and WebcastGenerac management will hold a conference call at 10:00 a.m. EST on Wednesday, February 11, 2026 to discuss 2025 operating results.

National luxury prices stabilize as buyers weigh the prestige of historic coastal enclaves against the modern scale of emerging Mountain and Sun Belt marketsAUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. luxury housing market opened 2026 with a stabilizing trend in pricing, defined by a fundamental difference in what luxury means from one region to the next. While national entry-level luxury prices held steady at $1.19 million, Realtor.com® January Luxury Housing Report highlights how the definition of luxury is shifting between established legacy markets and new growth hubs.According to the report, the national 90th-percentile luxury threshold remained essentially unchanged from a year ago (-0.6%). However, the report reveals a clear distinction in what buyers receive for their investment. In legacy markets like San Francisco and San Jose, the typical luxury home dates back to the mid-1970s. Meanwhile, in emerging markets like Heber, Utah, and Boise, Idaho, the luxury segment is driven almost entirely by brand-new construction."The age of luxury inventory in a given city tells a story of that market's lifecycle," said Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com®. "In legacy coastal metros, we're seeing the results of maturity, where the most desirable luxury neighborhoods reached full build-out decades ago, leaving little room for new construction. Conversely, in the Mountain West and Sun Belt, we're seeing active expansion, where the luxury tier is being defined by a new wave of development designed to meet modern preferences for scale and customization."January data suggests the broader luxury segment is entering a seasonal baseline, with the entry-level tier showing the most stability.National Luxury Overview PricingJanuary 2026Monthly ChangeYoY ChangeLuxury Threshold 90th Percentile$1,193,0850.0 %-0.6 %High-End Luxury Threshold 95th Percentile$1,912,7900.5 %-3.0 %Ultra Luxury Threshold 99th Percentile$5,635,0281.87 %-4.3 %Million-Dollar Listing Share12.0 %0.0pp-0.3ppLegacy Luxury: Paying for Postcodes, Not Square Footage In the nation's oldest luxury markets, location and pedigree remain the primary drivers of value. These markets represent long-established high-end locations where luxury is defined by mature neighborhoods and architecture that has retained value through decades of scarcity.San Francisco-Oakland tops the list with a median luxury build year of 1974, followed closely by San Jose (1977). In these established metros, homes in the $1 million to $2 million range are often more compact, averaging between 1,600 and 2,000 square feet, which is well below the national luxury average of 2,931 square feet. Despite the older housing stock, these markets move with speed; in San Jose, luxury homes sold in a median of just 19 days this January."In these legacy markets, buyers are often paying for the postcode and proximity to global economic hubs rather than brand-new finishes," said Anthony Smith, senior economist at Realtor.com®. "Value is driven by the fact that there is simply a scarcity of land to develop. These properties represent a finite resource, allowing them to remain competitive and well-supported even in seasonal lulls."Markets with the Oldest Luxury HomesRankArea10% Most Expensive Listings Start at:Median Year Built for Top 10%Median Days on Market for Top 10%Median Days on Market for Top 10% YoYMedian Square Feet $1M – $2M0USA$1,193,0852003921.7 %2,9311San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, Calif.$2,499,000197478-13.1 %1,8632San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif.$3,150,000197719-65.5 %1,6843New York-Newark-Jersey City, N.Y.-N.J.$2,999,3141990Full story available on Benzinga.com
