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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and sixmonths ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the three and sixmonths ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020 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, 2020.

3. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

On March 1, 2016, the Company acquired a 65% ownership interest in PR Industrial S.r.l. and its subsidiaries (Pramac). The 35% noncontrolling interest in Pramac had an acquisition date fair value of $34,253, and was recorded as a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as the noncontrolling interest holder had within its control the right to require the Company to redeem its interest in Pramac. In February 2019, the Company amended its agreement with the noncontrolling interest holder of Pramac, extending the agreement by five years, allowing the Company to exercise its call option rights in partial increments at certain times during the five year period, and providing that the noncontrolling interest holder no longer holds the right to put its shares to the Company until April 1, 2021. The put and call option price is based on a multiple of earnings, subject to a floor and the terms of the acquisition agreement, as amended. In May 2021, the Company exercised its call option rights and paid a purchase price of $27,164 to purchase an additional 15% ownership interest in Pramac, bringing the Company's total ownership interest in Pramac to 80%. The Company still holds its call option right to purchase the remaining 20% ownership interest in partial increments over the next 3 years.

On February 1, 2019, the Company acquired a 51% ownership interest in Captiva. The 49% noncontrolling interest in Captiva had an acquisition date fair value of $3,165, and was recorded as a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as the noncontrolling interest holder had within its control the right to require the Company to redeem its interest in Captiva. The noncontrolling interest holder has a put option to sell his interest to the Company any time after five years from the date of acquisition, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain circumstances. Further, the Company has a call option that it may redeem any time after five years from the date of acquisition, or earlier upon the occurrence of certain circumstances. The put and call option price is based on a multiple of earnings, subject to the terms of the acquisition.

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:

	*Three Months Ended March 31,*						Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	*2021*			*2020*			2021			2020			2021			2020
Balance at beginning of period	$	66,207		$	61,227		$	63,254		$	59,904		$	66,207		$	61,227
Net income		1,021			(629	)		672			(2,052	)		1,693			(2,681	)
Foreign currency translation		(3,851	)		(2,216	)		2,230			1,597			(1,621	)		(619	)
Purchase of additional ownership interest								(27,164	)		0			(27,164	)		0
Redemption value adjustment		(123	)		1,522			(1,747	)		1,570			(1,870	)		3,092
Balance at end of period	$	63,254		$	59,904		$	37,245		$	61,019		$	37,245		$	61,019

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 not 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.

Interest Rate Swaps

In 2017, the Company entered into twenty interest rate swap agreements, twelve of which were still outstanding as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. In December 2019, in conjunction with the 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 three additional interest rate swap agreements, bringing the total outstanding interest rate swaps to fifteen as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. 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 and losses, net of tax, recognized for the three and sixmonths ended ~~March 31,~~ June 30,2021~~and~~ ~~2020~~ were ~~$14,995~~$(2,752) and ~~$(15,813)~~$12,243, respectively. The amount of losses, net of tax, recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were $(3,596) and $(19,409), respectively. The cash flows of the swaps are recognized as adjustments to interest expense each period. The ineffective portions of the derivatives’ changes in fair value, if any, are immediately recognized in earnings.

Fair Value

The following table presents the fair value of all of the Company’s derivatives:

	March 31, 2021			December 31, 2020			June 30, 2021			December 31, 2020
Commodity contracts	$	797		$	1,386		$	369		$	1,386
Foreign currency contracts		(148	)		(154	)		21			(154	)
Interest rate swaps		(9,476	)		(29,536	)		(13,158	)		(29,536	)

The fair ~~value~~values of the commodity contracts isand foreign currency contracts are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and the fair ~~values~~value of the ~~foreign currency contracts and~~ interest rate swaps ~~are~~is included in other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities ~~respectively,~~ in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The fair value of the commodity contracts is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and the fair values of the foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps are included in other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020. Excluding the impact of credit risk, the fair value of the derivative contracts as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is a liability of ~~$9,017~~$12,983 and $28,667, respectively, which represents the amount the Company would pay to exit all of the agreements on those dates.

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 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 ~~$815,835,~~$766,977, was approximately ~~$832,075~~$781,950 (Level 2) at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, as calculated based on independent valuations whose inputs and significant value drivers are observable.

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.

7. Segment Reporting

The Company has ~~two~~2 reportable segments for financial reporting purposes – Domestic and International. The Domestic segment includes the legacy Generac business (excluding its traditional Latin American export operations), and the acquisitions that are based in the U.S. and Canada, all of which have revenues substantially derived from the U.S. and Canada. The International segment includes the legacy Generac business’ Latin American export operations, and the Ottomotores, Tower Light, Pramac, Motortech, Selmec, and ~~Selmec~~Deep Sea acquisitions, all of which have revenues substantially derived from outside the U.S. and Canada. Both reportable segments design and manufacture a wide range of energy technology solutions and other power products. The Company has multiple operating segments, which it aggregates into the two reportable segments, based on materially similar economic characteristics, products, production processes, classes of customers, distribution methods and regional considerations.

The Company's product offerings consist primarily of power generation equipment, energy storage systems, and other power products geared for varying end customer uses. Residential products and C&I products are each a similar class of products based on similar power output and end customer.

The Company’s credit agreements originally provided for a $1,200,000 term loan B credit facility (Term Loan) and currently include a $300,000 uncommitted incremental term loan facility. The maturity date of the Term Loan is currently December 13, 2026. The Term Loan is guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries, and is secured by associated collateral agreements which pledge a first priority lien on virtually all of the Company’s assets, including fixed assets and intangibles, other than all cash, trade accounts receivable, inventory, and other current assets and proceeds thereof, which are secured by a second priority lien. The Term Loan initially bore interest at rates based upon either a base rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75% or adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75%. Currently, the Term Loan bears interest at rates based upon either a base rate plus an applicable margin of 0.75% or adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75% without a LIBOR floor. The Term Loan agreement has been amended a number of times since inception.

12. Stock Repurchase Program

In September 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $250,000 stock repurchase program, which expired in October 2020. In September 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved another stock repurchase program, which commenced on October 27, 2020, and allows for the repurchase of up to $250,000 of the Company's common stock over a 24-month period. The Company may repurchase its common stock from time to time, in amounts and at prices the Company deems appropriate, subject to market conditions and other considerations. The repurchases may be executed using open market purchases, privately negotiated agreements or other transactions. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the program will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including the market price of the Company’s common stock, general market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements, and compliance with the terms of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness. The repurchases may be funded with cash on hand, available borrowings, or proceeds from potential debt or other capital markets sources. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. There were no share repurchases under the program during the three and sixmonths ended ~~March 31,~~ June 30,2021and 2020. Since the inception of all programs starting in August 2015, the Company has repurchased 8,676,706 shares of its common stock for $305,547 (at an average cost per share of $35.21), all funded with cash on hand.

13. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, exclusive of restricted shares. Except where the result would be anti-dilutive, diluted earnings per share is calculated by assuming the vesting of unvested restricted stock and the exercise of stock options. Refer to Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, “Redeemable Noncontrolling ~~Interest”~~Interest,” for further information regarding the accounting for redeemable noncontrolling interests.

Overview

We are a leading global designer and manufacturer of a wide range of energy technology solutions. The Company provides power generation equipment, energy storage systems, grid service solutions, and other power products serving the residential, ~~light~~ commercial and industrial markets.

Power generation and storage is a key focus of the Company, which differentiates us from many of our competitors who also have broad operations outside of the power equipment market. As the only significant market participant with a primary focus on these products, we maintain one of the leading market positions in the power equipment market in North America and an expanding presence internationally. We believe we have one of the widest ranges of products in the marketplace, including residential, commercial and industrial standby generators, as well as portable and mobile generators used in a variety of applications. A key strategic focus for the Company in recent years has been leveraging our leading position in the growing market for cleaner burning, more cost effective natural gas-fueled generators to expand into applications beyond standby power, allowing us to participate in distributed generation projects. The Company in recent years has been evolving its business model to also focus on clean energy products, solutions, and services. In 2019, we began providing energy storage systems as a clean energy solution for residential use that capture and store electricity from solar panels or other power sources and help reduce home energy costs while also protecting homes from shorter-duration power outages. During 2020, we entered the market for grid services by offering distributed energy optimization and control software that helps support the operational stability of the world's power grids. We have also been focused on connecting the equipment we manufacture to the users of that equipment, helping to drive additional value to our customers and our distribution partners over the product life cycle. The strategic focus on expanding the connectivity of our products will broaden our monitoring capabilities and also enable the increasing utilization of this equipment as distributed energy resources as the nascent market for grid services expands over the next several years. Overall, as the traditional centralized utility model evolves over time, we believe that a cleaner, more decentralized grid infrastructure will build-out, and Generac's energy technology solutions are strategically positioned to participate in this future "Grid 2.0".

In addition to power generation and storage solutions, other products that we design and manufacture include light towers that provide temporary lighting for various end markets, and a broad and growing product line of outdoor power equipment for residential and commercial use.

~~Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business~~

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, 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.

We expect the largest factor impacting our fiscal 2021 performance will be the possibility of 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 increased employee absences at several of 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 impacts or 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, the impact to our business 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 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, 2020.

Business D~~rivers~~Drivers and Operational Factors

In operating our business and monitoring its performance, we pay attention to a number of business drivers and trends as well as operational factors. The statements in this section are based on our current expectations.

Business Drivers and Trends

Our performance is affected by the demand for reliable power generation products, energy storage systems, grid service solutions, and other power products by our customer base. This demand is influenced by several important drivers and trends affecting our industry, including the following:

Key Mega-trends: There are some important mega-trends that we believe represent major themes that will drive significant secular growth opportunities across our business over the long term. “Grid ~~2.0”,~~2.0,” which is the evolution of the traditional electrical utility model, includes the decentralization and de-carbonization 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 severe weather driving increased power outage activity. Natural gas is expected to be a key fuel of the future with the abundance of supply globally leading to increasing demand for natural gas generators in applications beyond standby power. The legacy infrastructure is in need of a major investment cycle to rebuild and upgrade aging networks and systems including transportation, water and power. The wireless telecommunications infrastructure is shifting to the next generation “5G” architecture, which will enable new technologies requiring significant improvement in network uptime through backup power solutions.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 has led to a new and emerging mega-trend that we refer to as “Home as a Sanctuary,” where millions of people are working, learning, shopping, entertaining, and in general, spending more time at home. As working adults spend much more time working from home and school-age children learning from home, they become more sensitive to power outages due to lost productivity. These trends combined with ongoing elevated power outage activity has led to a significant increased awareness, importance and need for backup power security. As a result of spending more time at home, homeowners are also investing more into home improvement projects and outdoor project activity, which is leading to increased and broad-based demand for home standby generators as well as chore products used in a variety of property maintenance applications.

~~Table of Contents~~

Increasing penetration opportunity. Many potential customers are still not aware of the costs and benefits of automatic backup power solutions. We estimate that penetration rates for home standby generators are only approximately 5% of the addressable market of homes in the United States. As such, a significant penetration opportunity exists for residential back-up generators. The decision to purchase backup power for many light-commercial buildings such as convenience stores, restaurants and gas stations is more return-on-investment driven, and as a result these applications have relatively lower penetration rates as compared to buildings used in code-driven or mission critical applications such as hospitals, wastewater treatment facilities, 911 call centers, data centers and certain industrial locations. The emergence of lower cost, cleaner burning natural gas fueled generators has helped to increase the penetration of standby generators over the past decade in the light-commercial market. In addition, the installed base of backup power for telecommunications infrastructure is still increasing due to a variety of factors including the impending rollout of next-generation 5G wireless networks enabling new technologies and the growing importance for critical communications being transmitted over wireless networks. 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 standby generators for residential, commercial and industrial purposes.

Effect of large scale and baseline power disruptions. Power disruptions are an important driver of customer 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 power outage event for standby generators. For example, there have been a number of major outage events that occurred over the past decade that drove strong demand for portable and home standby generators, and the increased awareness of these products contributed to strong revenue growth in both the year they occurred along with the following subsequent year. Major power disruptions are unpredictable by nature and, as a result, our sales levels and profitability may fluctuate from period to period. In addition, there are smaller, more localized power outages that occur frequently across the United States that drive the baseline level of demand for back-up power solutions. The level of baseline power outage activity occurring across the United States can also fluctuate, and may cause our financial results to fluctuate from year to year.

Energy storage and monitoring markets developing quickly. During 2019, we entered the rapidly developing energy storage, monitoring and management markets with the acquisitions of Pika Energy and Neurio Technologies, along with the subsequent introduction of Generac branded products - marketed under the names PWRcell^TM and PWRview^TM. We believe the electric utility landscape will undergo significant changes in the decade ahead as a result of 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 solar, wind, geothermal, and natural gas generators is projected to become more prevalent as will the need to monitor, manage and store this ~~power –~~ power–potentially developing into a significant market opportunity as attachment rates for energy storage systems on solar installations have increased significantly over the last couple of years. The capabilities provided by Pika and Neurio have enabled us to bring an efficient and intelligent energy-savings solution to the energy storage and monitoring markets, which enabled us to quickly ramp shipments for these clean energy solutions during 2020, and which we believe will position Generac as a key participant going forward. Although different from the emergency backup power space, we believe this market will develop similarly as the home standby generator market has over the past two decades given both products can provide power resiliency to homeowners. We expect to further advance our growing capabilities for energy storage systems including product development, sourcing, distribution, and marketing, as we leverage our significant competencies in the residential standby generator market to accelerate our market position in the emerging residential energy storage, monitoring, and management markets.

California ~~market~~and Texas markets for backup power increasing. Over the past two years, utilities in the state of California have executed a number of Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events in large portions of their service areas. These events were proactive measures to prevent their equipment from potentially causing catastrophic wildfires during ~~the dry~~extreme temperatures and ~~windy season of the year.~~drought conditions. The occurrence of these events, along with the utilities warning these actions could continue in the future as they upgrade their transmission and distribution infrastructure, have resulted in significant awareness and increased demand for our generators in California, where penetration rates of home standby generators still stand at only approximately 1%. In addition, the state of California has mandated that all wireless telecommunications infrastructure must provide for at least 72 hours of back-up power. We have a significant focus on expanding distribution in California and are working together with local regulators, inspectors, and gas utilities to increase their bandwidth and sense of urgency around approving and providing the infrastructure necessary for home standby and other backup power products. Our efforts in this part of the country will also be helpful in developing the market for energy storage and monitoring where the installed base of solar and other renewable sources of electricity are some of the highest in the U.S., and the regulatory environment is increasingly mandating renewable energy on new construction applications.

In addition, the major outages caused by a winter storm throughout Texas in the first quarter of 2021 also resulted in significant awareness and increased demand for our generators in Texas, where penetration rates of home standby generators stand at approximately 3%. We have a significant focus on expanding distribution in Texas given the substantial size of the addressable market in this part of the country.

Impact of residential investment cycle. The market for residential generators and energy storage systems is also 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 precipitation patterns. Finally, the existence of renewable energy mandates and investment tax credits and other subsidies can also have an impact on the demand for 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 markets 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 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 as well as credit availability in the various geographic regions that we serve.

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. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, 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 experiencing today around 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 increased employee absences at several of our production facilities. Additionally, we have experienced minor work stoppages at certain of our foreign manufacturers, none of which have impacted our ability to satisfy customer demand. 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 impacts or 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, the impact to our customers thus far has not been significant. This could change if freight carriers are delayed or not able to operate.

We continue to experience a broad-based increase in demand for residential products, specifically home standby generators, created by a significant increase in the awareness, importance and need for backup power security as people are working, learning, shopping, entertaining, and spending more time at home. Additionally, as economic activity continues to recover across the globe, we are experiencing a return to growth in our domestic and international C&I products.

Effect of commodity, currency, ~~and~~ component price ~~fluctuations.~~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 over the years have further expanded our commercial and operational presence outside of the United States. These 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, specifically in 2021, there continue to be significant raw material and other cost pressures, ongoing logistics challenges, and various supply chain constraints, which are resulting in higher input costs of our products.

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. 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 21% of our net sales occurred in the first quarter, 22% to 25% in the second quarter, 26% 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.

During 2020, elevated power outage activity 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. In addition, the major outages throughout Texas in the first quarter of 2021 also drove elevated demand for back-up generators. This increased demand has resulted in extended lead times for these products, and as a result, our net sales during 2021 are expected to be more level-loaded throughout the year relative to historical seasonal patterns.

Factors influencing interest expense. Interest expense can be impacted by a variety of factors, including market fluctuations in LIBOR, interest rate election periods, interest rate swap agreements, repayments or borrowings of indebtedness, and amendments to our credit agreements. In connection with our term loan amendment in December 2019, language was added to the agreement to include a benchmark replacement rate, selected by the administrative agent and the borrower, as a replacement to LIBOR that would take affect at the time LIBOR ceases. ~~We plan~~Additionally, as part of our ABL Facility amendment in May 2021, language was added to ~~work with our lenders in~~ the ~~future~~ABL Facility agreement to ~~amend other LIBOR based debt agreements to add~~include a benchmark replacement rate, selected by the administrative agent and the borrower, as a replacement ~~rate for when~~to LIBOR that would take affect at the ~~use of~~time LIBOR ceases. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, interest expense decreased compared to the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020, primarily due to ~~lower outstanding borrowings and~~ lower LIBOR 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. On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) providing relief to taxpayers due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have reviewed and implemented elements of the CARES Act based on guidance provided by the U.S. Treasury Department. However, the benefits were not material to our financial results. Despite this, we will continue to review the CARES Act and any regulations or guidance issued by the U.S. Treasury Department or by a state which may create an additional tax expense or benefit. We will update our future tax provisions based on new regulations or guidance accordingly. We are also monitoring any additional legislative changes to income tax laws that could increase our effective tax rate and related tax obligations.

As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately $102 million of tax-deductible goodwill and intangible asset amortization remaining from our acquisition by CCMP Capital Advisors, LLC in 2006. This remaining balance will fully amortize in our 2021 tax return, resulting in approximately $26 million of cash tax savings during 2021. Beginning in 2022, this tax amortization will no longer exist, resulting in a higher cash tax obligation 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, 2020.

Net sales. Domestic segment sales increased ~~84.2%~~70.2% to ~~$692.7~~$784.1 million as compared to ~~$376.0~~$460.8 million in the prior year quarter, with the impact of acquisitions contributing approximately $9.8 million of the revenue growth for the quarter. The current year quarter core sales growth was driven by broad-based strength across both residential and C&I products highlighted by very strong growth with home standby generators, PWRcell^TM energy storage systems, telecom national account customers and C&I mobile products.

International segment sales increased 57.8% to $135.8 million as compared to $86.1 million in the prior year quarter, with the impact of acquisitions and foreign currency contributing approximately $11.3 million of the revenue growth for the quarter. The core sales growth for the segment was primarily due to strength in the European and Latin American regions that are seeing a sharp increase in demand as end markets recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The net sales contribution from all non-annualized recent acquisitions for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $15.8 million.

Table of Contents

Gross profit. Gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2021 was 36.9% compared to 38.2% in the prior year second quarter. The gross profit margin decrease was primarily driven by higher input costs relating to raw materials, labor, logistics and plant start-up costs, which were partially offset by improved pricing and favorable overhead absorption from higher sales volumes.

Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased $37.4 million, or 31.3%, as compared to the prior year second quarter. The increase was primarily driven by higher variable expenses from the significant increase in sales volumes, higher employee costs and incentive compensation, and the impact of the Deep Sea acquisition relative to acquisition related transaction expenses, recurring operating expenses and amortization expense.

Other expense. The increase in Other expense, net was driven by a $.8 million non-cash write-off of original issue discount and deferred financing costs due to a $50 million voluntary prepayment of our Term Loan which was partially offset by a reduction in interest expense due to lower LIBOR rates.

Provision for income taxes. The effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were 26.6% and 22.5%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a discrete tax item resulting from a legislative tax rate change in a foreign jurisdiction which revalued deferred tax liabilities by $7.0 million, or approximately 4% tax rate impact, during the current year quarter.

Net income attributable to Generac Holdings Inc. Net income attributable to Generac Holdings Inc. was $127.0 million as compared to $66.1 million in the prior year second quarter. The increase was primarily driven by increased sales volumes and other items noted above.

Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for the Domestic segment in the second quarter of 2021 was $203.9 million, or 26.0% of net sales, as compared to $121.3 million, or 26.3% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. The slight margin decrease was driven by higher input costs in the current year quarter, which were mostly offset by improved pricing and higher operating leverage from the substantial revenue growth for the segment during the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the International segment in the second quarter of 2021, before deducting for non-controlling interests, was $13.7 million, or 10.1% of net sales, as compared to $1.9 million, or 2.2% of net sales, in the prior year quarter. The improvement in margin was primarily due to improved operating leverage on the higher sales volumes and the impact of the Deep Sea acquisition.

Adjusted Net Income. Adjusted Net Income of $153.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased 73.2% from $88.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, due to the factors outlined above together with an increase in the cash income tax rate from approximately 17.0% in the prior year quarter to approximately 21.0% to 21.5% in the current year quarter.

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 ABL credit facility (ABL Facility).

Our credit agreements originally provided for a $1.2 billion term loan B credit facility (Term Loan) and include a $300.0 million uncommitted incremental term loan facility. As of June 30, 2021, there was $780 million outstanding under the Term Loan. Following several amendments, the Term Loan 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 LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 1.75%. The Term Loan does not require an Excess Cash Flow payment (as defined in our credit agreement) if our secured leverage ratio is maintained below 3.75 to 1.00 times. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, our secured leverage ratio was ~~0.92~~0.79 to 1.00 times, and we are in compliance with all covenants of the Term Loan. There are no financial maintenance covenants on the Term Loan.

Our credit agreements also provide for ~~the $300.0~~a $500.0 million ABL Facility. The ABL Facility matures ~~June 12, 2023~~May 27, 2026 and bears interest at rates based upon either a base rate plus an applicable margin of ~~0.125%~~0.00% to 0.25% or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of ~~1.125%~~1.00% to 1.25%, in each case, ~~subject to adjustments~~ based ~~upon~~on average availability under the ABL Facility. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, there was no$50 million outstanding ~~balance~~ under the ABL Facility, leaving ~~$299.6~~$439.5 million of availability, net of outstanding letters of credit. We are in compliance with all covenants of the ABL Facility as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, we had ~~$1,044.4~~$829.6 million of liquidity comprised of ~~$744.8~~$390.1 million of cash and equivalents and ~~$299.6~~$439.5 million available under our ABL Facility. Additionally, we have no maturities on our Term Loan and ABL Facility until ~~December~~ 2026. We believe we have a strong liquidity position that allows us ~~notwithstanding unforeseen impacts of the current COVID-19 pandemic,~~ to execute our strategic plan and provides the flexibility to continue to invest in future growth opportunities.

In September 2018, our Board of Directors approved a $250.0 million stock repurchase program, which expired in October 2020. In September 2020, our Board of Directors approved another stock repurchase program, which commenced on October 27, 2020, and allows for the repurchase of up to $250.0 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 ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 and 2020, no share repurchases were made under these plans. Since the inception of all stock repurchase programs starting in August 2015, we have repurchased 8,676,706 shares of our common stock for $305.5 million (an average repurchase price of $35.21 per share), all funded with cash on hand.

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.

Long-term Liquidity

We believe that our cash flow from operations and availability under our ABL Facility and other short-term lines of credit, combined with our cash on hand, provide us with sufficient capital to continue to grow our business in the future. We may use a portion of our cash flow to pay ~~interest or~~ principal on our outstanding debt, 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 or acquisitions.

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher sales volumes and resulting higher operating earnings in the current year, ~~quarter, coupled with a lower level of working capital investment compared to the prior year quarter.~~ partially offset by higher income taxes paid.

Net cash used in investing activities for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 primarily represents cash payments of ~~$27.5~~$419.0 million related to the acquisition of businesses and $54.2 million related to the purchase of property and equipment, which were offset by cash proceeds on sale of an investment of $4.9 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 primarily represents cash payments of ~~$12.9~~$26.3 million related to the purchase of property and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 primarily represents ~~$45.6~~$126.8 million of debt repayments ($~~44.0~~73.7 million of short-term borrowings and ~~$1.6~~$53.1 million of long-term borrowings and finance lease obligations), ~~$35.9~~$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 ~~$32.2~~$57.6 million from short-term borrowings, $50.0 million from long-term borrowings and ~~$13.0~~$18.6 million from the exercise of stock options.

Net cash used in financing activities for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 primarily represents ~~$26.7~~$128.2 million of debt repayments ($~~25.5~~125.7 million of short-term borrowings and ~~$1.2~~$2.5 million of long-term borrowings and finance lease obligations), ~~$7.7~~$11.0 million of taxes paid related to equity awards, and $4.0 million of contingent consideration for acquired businesses.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations since the February 23, 2021 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There have been no material changes to off-balance sheet arrangements since the February 23, 2021 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. See Note 15, "Commitments and Contingencies," to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for more information on our off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, 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 23, 2021 filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

The computation of Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Generac Holdings Inc. is based on the definition of EBITDA contained in our credit agreement, as amended. 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 ~~2020~~2021 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 Term Loan and ABL Facility, and also 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 ~~(d)~~(e) below why we believe these adjustments are useful in calculating Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of our operating performance.

Table of Contents

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 the significant 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 Term Loan and ABL Facility credit agreements, 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.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Generac Holdings Inc.:

(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, and certain foreign currency 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 prepayment of Term Loan 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 Term Loan and ABL Facility, 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.

~~(d) Represents~~(e) For the six months ended June 30, 2021, represents severance and other ~~non-recurring restructuring~~ charges related to the consolidation of certain of our facilities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, represents severance, non-cash asset write-downs, and other charges to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and decline in oil prices.

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 and 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 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.

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. We also make adjustments to present cash taxes paid as a result of our favorable tax attributes.

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

•

other companies may calculate Adjusted Net Income differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

(c) Amount for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021 is based on an anticipated cash income tax rate of approximately ~~20.5%~~21.0% to 21.5% for the full year ending December 31, 2021. Amount for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2020 is based on an anticipated cash income tax rate at the time of approximately ~~14%~~17.0% for the full year ended December 31, 2020. Cash income tax expense for the respective periods is based on the projected taxable income and corresponding cash tax rate for the full year after considering the effects of current and deferred income tax items, and is calculated for each respective period by applying the derived full year cash tax rate to the period’s pretax income.
