  15. Thesis #2: Seasonal Trends

  16. Misperception Due to Sandy, from its low in September to its peak in November, GNRC stock jumped 80%

  17. Misperception • Generac’s rise often outlasts the winter season as the subsequent quarterly earnings reflects good earnings and boosts investor’s confidence • During the Q3 Conference Call, CFO York Ragen said that the “afterglow can last between six and twelve months after this type of event [Sandy].”

  18. Misperception: VAR • Tavia, representative for Home Depot (general) – It was a “first come, first serve” basis in which “some stores didn’t even try to log” in the generators when they arrived since “there was no time.” • Dennis, representative for Home Depot (Milton, NJ) – Has worked there for 13 years and never had this degree of demand. People traveled from around the state for the portable generators and 1000 were sold out as soon as they got in. • Christine, representative for Lowe’s (general) – There is still a demand even after generators were sold out and they are still in the process of restocking

  19. Misperception

  25. Thesis #3: VAR

  26. Thesis #3 • In New Jersey, which suffered greatly due to Sandy, lawmakers are pushing for four varied proposals that would require all gas stations to be equipped with back-up generators.

  27. Thesis #3: VAR • Mike Harris, IR for GNRC • After Katrina, FCC pushed to have cell towers have back up-generators but lost steam • After Sandy, there was a resurge • Devon Lander, represents NY Assemblyman Steve Englebright • Governor is in favor of a bill that would require all new gas stations to have a back-up generator • Existing ones might need one based on criteria

  28. Conclusion • Strong organic growth and expansion • 15 % CAGR from 2000 to 2011 • Acquired Magnum and Ottomotores • Seasonal trends • Positive correlation with winter • Aftermath of Sandy is still tangible • Strong tailwinds • Expectations to beat earnings • Shift from diesel to natural gas • Increased blackouts due to aging power grid • Potential bills in NY, NJ, and from the FCC
