CASE ALLEGATIONS: Generac designs, manufactures, and sells power generation equipment, energy storage systems, and other power products for the residential, light commercial, and industrial markets worldwide. In April 2019, Generac acquired Pika Energy Inc. for an undisclosed sum, which accelerated the company’s expansion in the home energy-storage market. The component acquired in the Pika Energy transaction was the SnapRS, an inline disconnect device designed to rapidly shut down power to individual solar panels as required by the National Electric Code. In early 2020, Generac and a Mooresville, North Carolina company now known as Pink Energy (formerly PowerHome Solar) formed a partnership to market Pink Energy solar installations with Generac batteries and system components.
The Generac class action lawsuit alleges that throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (a) Generac had been suffering substantial declines in demand for its legacy generator product offerings, causing Generac to slash product prices by nearly 20% and engage in a massive acquisition spree in an attempt to offset waning demand; (b) SnapRS components being marketed and sold through a partnership with Generac suffered from serious product defect and safety issues; (c) Generac was exposed to significant impending warranty liability related to Generac’s participation in the sale of SnapRS components; and (d) as a result, the strength of Generac’s business metrics and financial prospects had been grossly overstated and materially misrepresented throughout the Class Period.
