Supply Chain Tariff Impact
GENERAC HOLDINGS INC. · 2026-08-04 · Importance 40 · Surprise 42 · In source text
Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the United States enacted additional tariffs on goods imported from numerous countries, while certain countries imposed tariffs on U.S. goods; some measures were later modified or delayed. Generac implemented price increases and supply-chain initiatives to mitigate the tariffs, but the resulting price increases created inflationary pressure for consumers and negatively affected demand and margins for certain products. Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s February 20, 2026 decision invalidating tariffs imposed under the IEEPA, Generac received approximately $61 million of tariff refunds during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and recorded a further $28 million receivable deemed probable of collection. Approximately $71 million of the recovery reduced second-quarter 2026 cost of goods sold, with the remainder recorded in inventory.
