Key Points
- Generac Holdings Inc (GNRC) reported strong growth in global C&I product sales, with a 9% increase during the quarter, driven by domestic telecom and industrial distributor channels as well as international markets.
- The company's backlog for large megawatt generators in the data center market doubled to over $300 million in the last 90 days, indicating significant momentum and future growth potential.

- The ecobee segment delivered another profitable quarter with significant gross margin improvement and operating leverage, supporting a growing high-margin recurring revenue stream.
- Generac's residential dealer network expanded to nearly 9,400, reflecting continued strength in contractor interest and growing demand for backup power solutions.
- Overall net sales decreased by 5% year-over-year to $1.11 billion, with residential net sales declining 13% due to a weaker power outage environment.
- Home standby and portable generator shipments were below seasonal expectations, impacted by the lowest third quarter of total outage hours since 2015.
- Gross profit margin decreased to 38.3% from 40.2% in the prior year, primarily due to unfavorable sales mix and higher tariffs.
