6.   Segment Reporting

 

The Company has two reportable segments for financial reporting purposes – domestic and international. The domestic segment includes the legacy Generac business and all historical acquisitions based in the U.S. and Canada, all of which have revenues substantially derived from the U.S. and Canada. The international segment includes all historical acquisitions not based in the U.S and Canada, 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, organizational structure, and regional considerations. Intersegment sales are at an appropriate transfer price. 

 

The Company's product offerings consist primarily of power generation equipment, energy storage systems, energy management devices & solutions, and other power products geared for varying end customer uses. While Residential products and Commercial & Industrial (C&I) products include similar products, they differ based on power output and end customer. The composition of net sales between residential, C&I, and other products & services by reportable segment is as follows:

Residential products consist primarily of automatic home standby generators ranging in output from 7.5kW to 150kW, portable generators, residential energy storage systems, energy management devices & solutions, and other outdoor power equipment. These products are predominantly sold through independent residential dealers, national and regional retailers, e-commerce merchants, electrical/HVAC/solar wholesalers, solar installers, and outdoor power equipment dealers. The residential products revenue consists of the sale of the product to the Company's distribution partners, who in turn sell the product to the end consumer, sometimes including installation and maintenance services. In some cases, residential products are sold directly to the end consumer. Substantially all of the residential products' revenues are recorded at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer.

 

C&I products consist of larger output stationary generators used in C&I applications, with power outputs up to 3,250kW. Also included in C&I products are mobile generators, light towers, C&I battery energy storage systems, mobile heaters, mobile pumps, and related controls for power generation equipment. These products are sold globally through industrial distributors and dealers, Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) companies, equipment rental companies, and equipment distributors. The C&I products revenue consists of the sale of the product to the Company's distribution partners, who in turn sell or rent the product to the end customer, sometimes including installation and maintenance services. In some cases, C&I products are sold directly to the end customer. Substantially all of the C&I products' revenues are recorded at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer.

 

Other consists primarily of aftermarket service parts and product accessories sold to the Company's distribution partners, the amortization of extended warranty deferred revenue, remote monitoring and grid services subscription revenue, as well as certain design, build, installation, and maintenance service revenue. The aftermarket service parts and product accessories are generally transferred to the customer at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer, while the extended warranty and subscription revenue are recognized over the life of the contract. Other service revenue is recognized when the service is performed, sometimes after certain milestones are met.

 

The Company views Adjusted EBITDA as a key measure of the Company's performance. The computation of Adjusted EBITDA is based primarily on the definition that is contained in the Company’s credit agreements. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA not only due to its importance for purposes of the Company's credit agreements, but also because it assists the Company in comparing performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis as it excludes items the Company's management does not believe are indicative of the Company's core operating performance. The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is Aaron Jagdfeld, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). He uses Adjusted EBITDA, along with the Company's management:

 

 

for planning purposes, including the preparation of the Company's annual operating budget and developing and refining internal projections for future periods;
 to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of the Company's business;
 as a target for the determination of the bonus component of compensation for the Company's senior executives under the Company's management incentive plan, as described further in the Company's Proxy Statement;
 to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's business strategies and as a tool in evaluating the Company's performance against the Company's budget for each period; and
 in communications with the Company's Board of Directors and investors concerning the Company's financial performance.

 

The table below presents sales (external and intersegment), significant segment expenses, other segment items, and Adjusted EBITDA by reportable segment, reconciled to consolidated income before provision for income taxes.
