7.   Segment Reporting

 

On March 25, 2026, the Company announced its plan to reorganize its two reportable segments, effective March 31, 2026 (the Reorganization). The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is Aaron Jagdfeld, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The Reorganization reflects a change in how the CODM evaluates the Company’s operations and performance to better align reporting with the way the business is managed. Prior to the Reorganization, the Company's reportable segments were Domestic and International. As a result of the Reorganization, the Company's new reportable segments are Residential and Commercial & Industrial (C&I).  While Residential and C&I include similar products, they differ based on power output and end customer. 

 

The Residential segment consists of the former Domestic segment, excluding the domestic C&I operations.  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 and 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. Residential segment revenue consists of product sales to the Company's distribution partners, who in turn sell the product to the end consumer, sometimes including installation and maintenance services. The Residential segment revenue also includes sales of products and services related to aftermarket service parts, the amortization of extended warranty deferred revenue, and remote monitoring subscription revenue. In some cases, residential products are sold directly to the end consumer. The majority of Residential segment revenues are recorded at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer. The remaining revenue, primarily related to extended warranty and other services, is recognized over the period the related services are performed.

 

The C&I segment consists of the operations of the former International segment with the addition of the domestic Commercial & Industrial operations. Commercial & Industrial 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. C&I segment revenue consists of product sales to the Company's distribution partners, who in turn sell or rent the product to the end customer, sometimes including installation and maintenance services. The C&I segment revenue also includes sales of products and services related to aftermarket service parts and product accessories sold to the Company's distribution partners, grid services subscription revenue, as well as certain installation and maintenance service revenue. In some cases, C&I products are sold directly to the end customer. C&I segment revenues are recorded at either a point in time when control is transferred to the customer, or if the performance obligation is satisfied over time, then revenue is recognized using a method that reflects the performance under the contract. 

 

Segment financial information for the prior periods has been recast to conform to the current presentation.

 

 The composition of net sales between Residential and Commercial & Industrial reportable segments is as follows:

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 CODM 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.
