3.   Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

The Company entered into a joint venture with E.A. Juffali & Brothers ("Juffali") on August 7, 2025, based in Bahrain, aiming to expand its footprint in the Middle East region. The joint venture, operating under the name Generac Juffali Generators WLL, will function as a distinct legal entity with ownership interests divided between the Company and Juffali at 51% and 49%, respectively. As the Company holds a controlling financial interest in the joint venture's operating entity, it will consolidate the entity. During the third quarter of 2025, Juffali funded 49% of the total capital contributed to the new legal entity. The issuance date fair value of the 49% noncontrolling interest was $979 and was recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a redeemable noncontrolling interest. This classification is based on Juffali’s right to require redemption of its interest in Generac Juffali Generators under specific triggering circumstances outlined in the joint venture agreement. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is initially recognized at its issuance date fair value and is adjusted each reporting period to reflect the noncontrolling interests’ share of comprehensive income. If the redeemable noncontrolling interest becomes currently redeemable or is probable of becoming currently redeemable, it is then adjusted to the greater of the redemption value or the carrying value, with any redemption value adjustments being recorded directly to retained earnings in the consolidated balance sheets.
