Generac cuts 2025 sales outlook to flat after 5% third-quarter sales decline
Generac reported third-quarter 2025 net sales down 5% to $1.11 billion and net income of $66 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, versus $1.89 a year earlier. The company lowered its full-year 2025 net sales growth guidance to approximately flat, citing a significantly weaker power outage environment that reduced seasonal generator demand. Shareholders face a weaker outlook than previously guided, with full-year adjusted EBITDA margin now expected at about 17.0%.
