GENERAC HOLDINGS INC. 8-K

What Happened
Generac Holdings, Inc. (GNRC) furnished a press release on February 11, 2026 reporting its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 (Exhibit 99.1). The filing highlights both GAAP results and several non‑GAAP measures the company uses to evaluate performance and communicate with investors.

Key Details

• Press release dated February 11, 2026, covers results for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
• Non‑GAAP metrics disclosed: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Free Cash Flow, and Core Sales.
• Company states these metrics are used for budgeting, performance evaluation, board and investor communications, acquisition assessment, and comparing sales across periods.
• Adjusted EBITDA is cited as a benchmark for determining senior executive bonuses. The 8‑K notes the information is being furnished (not “filed”) and should not be incorporated by reference into registration statements unless expressly stated.

Why It Matters
Investors should read the attached press release to see the actual revenue, earnings and reconciliations between GAAP and the non‑GAAP measures (the filing explains why Generac presents those measures). Non‑GAAP figures like Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow can provide additional context on operating performance, but they are calculated differently than GAAP numbers—review the reconciliations to understand adjustments and how they affect comparisons and executive compensation.
