Jeff. morning, Good

York A. Ragen

How Jeff. you morning, are doing? Good

Jeffrey Hammond

Hey.

a a So, storm, Aaron, better kind really how relative think to experienced about terms talked just more you think do which to you where I out rates of and where perhaps lot or talk think of close or which going do this added the tools from you're just selling you've in just wanted of to you little differently Sandy color, all kind plays you et these follow early you've as get mean, through about, tools I cetera?

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

debate intense an They Sandy. these have place previously. of came board internally on obviously around tools Jeff, didn't it's because kind in area, XXXX after Yeah, here, of all we

we're a in we put a from we've that years, we data experienced result, – tools four over the these So, place. them seeing very never don't is of out pressure chance of we've some had testament, as since to the that last different data the

we said think we they're dramatically in like above we our said well the they I So, prepared seeing. higher. are – IHCs, I mean, remarks rates were

doing that standby the kind so of our that. and rate kind we conversion of with home have all And represented, on and were that percentage of to IHCs flowed we traditional close math what recalibrate

I first that is have better we'll of So, thing all, one do know I think the visibility. that,

IHCs, – So, are the just a see how PowerPlay leads at given only of business, doubt these because that of not seen? being sales PowerPlay is with go what like the those don't dealers PowerPlay issued? than using the I rates for tools, how on kind in just better the that see close PowerPlay. leading through without for place that least tool, many the pipeline we know for We is, think to from proposals How rates close close least gives tool dealers What use that see indicators get are PowerPlay differ us those we we at does that are historically we've the that rate proposals?

having tool. to for that of should and go with today at tool that those rates leads So, the place least in itself here where were through lead in close we the Sandy better at versus

Sandy put as the our capabilities, the a here at the ability think into I'll factories marketing, well sales expand Wisconsin. and level, other also – targeted make and lot production capacity, tools that we both chain in time and the of comment effort to the after I aside from as supply in our

was of a weeks was purely a occurred focus were standpoint, from dynamic we'll Irma and second, calendar it's seeing, though at the on so And what interesting, calendar from even earlier a event, of did. the Irma Sandy October, three for than Sandy this really Irma we're events. six end mid-September. just standpoint, there

just We quarter. are ability quarters. going to for reflected that be We in more event. the home we're – record we some at coupled sized of going are more appropriately the quicker, we're So standby that or quarter, fourth because believe, window said and shipments be to near the in had fourth six-week levels ramp it's we've to this with size – big our

coming quarter came of a of first If year you the we XXXX, remember, a backlog amount tremendous with of the of Sandy. out into XXXX

the that for huge us going and this quarter so quarter it. that first standby. quarter potentially year fourth quarter, of think exceed And is a XXXX to for rival We was

I the although can't visibility, quote we So, because a plays better see yet, ramp, on conversion statistic better to quite how just to better we'll sales, those it I – think, and ability think, out. have I

Jeffrey Hammond

Puerto And would terrible and Rico, opportunity. long but helpful. we it outages, which you then, devastating thought small Very and sounds mentioned relatively Okay. be

So, is it can more nursing home there? market opportunity industrial, Thanks. (XX:XX) you just is more of that the then portable? on Florida opportunities, opportunity, it also And the kind size

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

– little think an Right. answer it's me first, Yeah, because easier probably of let Florida more tackle there. it's I a – a bit

of more opportunity, of terms upwards known facilities, market been little of be of million In that that there. number estimated set there's a of $XXX a It's of could of the wise. bit kind opportunity just

terms control governor's a it's was this just There's will order I be the so tackle there temperature very Florida as needs backup being legislation Florida the effectively very strategy. well. for crafted that that, recently facilities that going the of emergency think, forward tackled, care critical And stayed start see and going really And timeline. because included and certain around to requirement in the strategy to in beyond that the in a be also it of we're previously, to wasn't element important

will into critical part facilities control it potentially been is to think I backup. necessarily other dictated where not temperature areas spread care of be emergency

into of mean, able I around hampered island the Puerto there really before. not being the step the just logistics we ship devastation it's that it's some opportunity, care dark, nature the come with it's areas But, in in a of very the Rico, unlike going disaster. anything there's nice ends there, from of after experienced support Puerto smaller we're should working it in the will where a and on XX% fruit, already We the obviously that are island of facilities also the think country – world whatever come should and you there's ever to or couple is areas to deliver that a engaging this we've With that lot a lot one So, to And rule comply have Rico, matter Florida Rico, that taking. the not nice a that, probably bear for of already to XXXX. products a critical law Puerto directly really very year, and with partners it ship and we've large recovery of where has still Florida isolated – an to of effort be – really get are project the that's law of people – as for but going mean, only lot up we I Florida in products needed. hampered going of to and more with this but order back got

effort just X.X about being island, really It's got of now, it's inhabitants you've there's think there. hard, the like a it's there huge so, that lot Iowa. of good it's million, million I size X.X work about an a mean I And but done

infrastructure so whatever generators generators, manufacturing, over of of right diesel Rico is diesel the a lot factories, been fit backup actually there's activity is But gas an well the terms market, I not have it's years, can of great the really opportunity, to of a by you for bit the a mean, you're crisscrossed a strategies. really entire in decades. gets is traditionally for reason A ascribed you mean, us, gas over of in and right. point, for it's not gasoline have a So, lot need opportunity small, I terms so island huge adequate island to And we're diesel of There solutions. because probably it's of incredible can a but a us, that, several what the is that power. get a wouldn't now the and or anything generators, didn't on have get. a a also generators and little and decent but We your seeing me, seeing they – it's is requests activity, either, people storm lot then we're moved more like our of pharmaceutical storm we're lot lot other doesn't Puerto for ton last backup for into in – The amazing can it portable large market map the Caribbean large see want kind seeing factories of portable fuel. with islands

So, otherwise. or there a clearly risk manufacturing it's anybody anything for doing

is industrial the historical – well, – averages. think that to rebuilt, have so we're residential as the where certainly I opportunities So, network the in industrial we was temporary remain think there, than basis that's towards in the and and opportunities other Telecommunications, on there And market. right are entire is now numbers just of going places right opportunity, are But the out with It'll see look Puerto Texas, the or that this we really seeing is, demographics grid happened. seen industrial And it's opportunity really else. brought lead frame of well Florida question like something the the these being to real. of some are telecom is the but we're down, how be mean everything exactly commercial everything is that I sustainable? There a different and terms now. to trying some will is the permanent in kind would to grid events above to difficult, rebuilt of Rico rebuilt

upside products to and there year, a that they as also – outage some last also like likely the had certain standby. basically potential outage the of it had receivership major relates being temper there home company last they utility in So, nonetheless a But September. major will when

good very demand seeing there. already were we So,

it's it the in completely being potential all tremendous don't frankly next place But a right in there, difficult, amount several that'll to is shipped out important now on requested the there. there it will is around build years, amount So, being distribution time. ridiculous – of and product either, this of it's logistics, an has but I a of take we it's – point our terms another, about just just that terms a upside island and think, the have over that's of taken what

domain how strategy they that. through kind supply that a able We see four these all heavy here couple But, actually like leading the the to watching terms since test. of to have quickly been the off would next they events the into we've strategies we rapidly in able We'll different But all obviously oriented QX are before, component October, forms. in post-Sandy how through this, watch Portable flow So to normal of close They and to to kind an year – that of following stocks retail event we've have stocking – And now in we're we're of there around – our things years depleted. to of ramp elevated major post we products. of sustain really been production. kind going the and some pre-storm, waiting although It's we translate We in as aggressively types been in generators, just that into do chain. a were to and of mentioned level, is which didn't to because QX with test we of at year portable same get typically rates, I of partners very range with indicators. early to won't is into really end level understand won't mentioned part year, expand the and you demand. allowed we the reason primarily for retailers, that. these generally see a that year because changed to five hadn't been us have safety obviously put look years very you replenished replenishment going a of no activity, tend to if come to generators, demand replenish cadence expect at elevated distribution the

might there that but events, not going isn't much. – to buy it's some really get a reason winter to You ahead

really anniversary expect would events decent would So, they'll expect we in of elevated activity, replen then, these in culminating next we fall. standby home that. levels, QX and to And fairly the

– pretty we have quickly we with to an of constraints, of well, working we're elevated as ramp make how productivity. team but for keep of labor have us expect with said is with able even up weekends, up expectations and and long levels constraints to we going the though were as have some kind And the sense. this happy And be makes able we'll hard overtime actually high so, for right QX production very quality responding operating very busy and and some they really as it the they're to and high we're now, high expectations the we maintain those we environment year, pushing

very point. that we're with this So, at pleased

Ross Gilardi

Brian P. Drab

questions. taking Hey, for good Thanks morning. my

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

Brian. Thanks,

York A. Ragen

Hey, Brian.

Brian P. Drab

opportunity Aaron, exactly pertain number, mentioned reaffirm to? $XXX could in you very that what specific you think, a million did you I just I say Florida? hear And

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

that Groups to groups roughly other will a at clear, into million. to Care estimate machine order Florida. installation, be are cost inclusive cost and comply it's installation and sites, are order, public be way this $XXX of is there estimate that's compliance they X,XXX just be it's those Advocacy to number, about a the of the not in so by that bring the – about with Health the the governor's machine. and of by need just of the these kind the that would our beyond sites the The estimated estimate an with X,XXX this it's sites and estimated There that's Yeah, Florida would

areas So, tailwind think, our business. over thing component us. the the evidence of and country to estimate, C&I type obviously, there's a important obviously time come going to where as impact to I a could in a could be And of we areas is, – more again of other see that's well public more of that's that, same those the we regulation

see like in our we happens this remarks, this major we but after prepared typically C&I this, it out So called business, just – takes events the longer.

First there's the time institution would longer needs the regulations those of with their are on all, to it's there's time regulation, and books, a a residential. businesses if it's lot just get – or comply to cycles see the decision an that with business than with the it's to regulations, comply you a –

for C&I two business much is Whereas the afterglow the afterglow of after compliance longer or backup their So term residential, events, use, extends either a to in the quarters. regulation four on by we of based with strategy. go businesses C&I can kind The investments years with can it major couple years. last

Brian P. Drab

it. Right. Got

something this seeing was just Sandy about don't you'd ended Okay. comment at X following you I if look I does back that? to also million And that at Thanks. look in that And guys if Sandy, say you around, that Street you about at that. then the made at could the – or you talking time average the we Analyst were term that Day, know, recent you combination activity – Is the these a average mentioned event then could recent the type almost in that as of what revenue you is hit million you plus in the major use and generate exceed major forecast this estimate up of event, $XX and event on you the us $XXX X far gave context this of storms that in expect be revenue. rough or the think, comment

demand. a it's or were drove which most out of type other – exactly well hard I one demand opportunity the parse some is or think going on there to that events that? this of above much course $XX how But million what

York A. Ragen

York. is Brian, this

our and up, products residential look predominantly $XXX guidance how as guidance, quarter. a result these is implied of hitting it and increase So at versus you increasing if in major we've statement the the taken about third outages the is million guidance prior that

of market more the of Now, then XX% out there Puerto people Aaron's hours power millions Hurricane sold into the Houston. mean, said week, without a is we XX% second that was portables. some largest I it's which it was didn't – we'll of for of to event, severity, But product with the about what people, think Irma, – flooding But lot the albeit that think severity smaller actual measured XXXX. I outage terms an severity a take unfortunately about there's a more I size that see we Sandy, hit quite event us obviously a wasn't outages and power But Rico, Harvey, Puerto that multiple Maria, of we've for we of was recorded. of the comments limited about shipping out to it Sandy, was distribution. that Rico, with And we're in follow-on

that if demand related was putting but all I So, at increase think to Irma, you three. in it for think $XXX predominantly that was million together look there guidance, all I

Brian P. Drab

I then, think... if that you're you was And that only Yeah. million looking XXXX, only mean $XXX through – and

York A. Ragen

an that – Yeah, impact When baselines. is new and the baseline, standby, year, a new yeah, so guess, we've because higher the you – be... you about events then you about our talk infinitely higher predominantly and could you and awareness talked think have then, on have outage have I that's for higher home home events, standby, if baseline about and and that's higher if we a major impact which what new

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

The compounding effect...

York A. Ragen

then. ...could higher be infinitely

So, it's hard to quantify...

Brian P. Drab

Right.

York A. Ragen

as and new baseline there's if result. impact higher established XXXX ...the a a

Brian P. Drab

it for thinking Sandy, really the mean, Okay. how XXXX Am about home you'd where an expect gauge subsequent million beyond trying to the year? and with next of out played standby much I for the I'm though, impact $XXX for you demand million I year, raised correctly guidance that's $XXX whole

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

Yeah, we I to about, remember XXXX got you a came with my one large with Brian, thing think into that, very backlog. comments

of care the us happened demand that pretty yet, increase weeks the year year. will of the don't have storm from backlog a a the and this ability in current major some ramp at in faster taking that earlier, there'll into we'll lot the a the lot on directly know be so to Irma, impact going event big that situation, fact end so the the probably the six But is of we're And not year. backlog we the be, what storm

So, QX primarily QX, being standby. portables, being home QX; QX

differently. different. going to look a think ramp you it's I and pacing the don't because about just little think, think it I way can't works have of faster, because a – calendar you I to our of – the I it's of So, have think, to ability think going different the to

York A. Ragen

to our impact And teams as evaluating XXXX commercial then, we the speak. are

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

Yeah.

York A. Ragen

our together pulling numbers We're for XXXX.

XXXX. there. So, as hard it's evaluating we'll from speak, We're to comment backlog it we we'll on and it take monitor

Brian P. Drab

Okay. measure – if one the last you outage could? year-over-year of then, sequentially your And that major then, as ignoring just underlying And run thanks. and of it does rate one one, that kind activity you look how events, quick

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

QX through Yeah, baseline are averages reported. the up nicely. I we mean, they And were up

they know remain elevated, and So, I York, don't you got?

York A. Ragen

even of outages mean, if up out it, the just I you baseline were Yeah, quarter. month Irma took for September, which the had in

category. home for standby well that I So, think bodes the

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

Exactly. Yeah.

Brian P. Drab

Right.

you Okay. much. very Thank

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

Thanks, Brian.

Oppenheimer. from line from next comes of the Our Christopher question Glynn

ahead. go Your open. Please line is now

Christopher Glynn

Good Thanks. Yeah. morning.

York A. Ragen

Hey. Good morning, Chris.

Christopher Glynn

Northeast it's And, it's magnitude, wondering notably have you a the assessment, mean, region but Maine, know this or week, I thoughts about been think early outages Connecticut and terms hey, to category the geographically I sensitive just I any if don't awareness. of in

thoughts curious your So, there?

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

that Yeah, power. asked you of example. customers it's another X.X were the interesting it's there obviously, At Chris, that peak million without mean, I it,

the number, exact without if customers this remain that power. As morning want XXX,XXX of X:XX you A.M. it's

it's still points a it's good Maine tell X.X – track very what are, the has very million in closely, top watch I X.X installed -we million, a So – data people. Maine These state actually we it are I point. what you of that we have list they is can closely. Maine. it's the not that your at to mean, state by has only base

So, as I grid when not that you that's this week. windstorms just huge types in and to of we mean due tune backup you there, very the with area pointed an a it's age areas, relative comes with trees, the – the earlier obviously opportunity of had into to need but power kind these rainstorms market other out everything of like the else the play to get have

inventories they've certain unfortunately question levels hand we about keep our with portable So, And their in of are and now, increase country. we've obviously the generator wasn't have stock to obviously to of But your right the the ability there. is Southeast storms to on answer strategic that certain fairly talked most been demand the here. fulfilling down of the of anything simply in the regrettably, is, do that response the stock best retailers, because the depleted. in of We down that part

I will going not that as get it's something in-home the nice there, are horn we'll it into moving to QX. get happen kind further we activity QX and see you're So, in North logistics into around of and now here a as standby think – bump see,

So the that a only many cycles moving we've bit period. this low of it's in It's because year a would several a over it talked be and a we're in into just tailwind, the moves is and years, years, for very cyclical like and to to weather baseline about. said we've a from last activity now active we've active more been been only positive that over going go outage increase that

Christopher Glynn

$XX unchanged, going the a to other Sounds or maybe And think interest looks million indicators are so? item little prior I to and $XX your D&A probably $XX for comp give some million guidance, line be million stale usually interesting. but probably stock then

York A. Ragen

It's slightly or going that $XX to range in maybe be million...

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

A tick lower probably...

York A. Ragen

$XX a lower Yes, million previous. million, tick the than $XX

Christopher Glynn

Charles Brady

guys. morning, good Thanks,

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

Hey, Charley.

York A. Ragen

Good morning.

Charles Brady

Can just want going sales update PowerPlay ask that? how now. through – of the are right the on us I you to much on

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

be of through actually ends events event. than going this so more – haven't we the is thesis, get what you don't nature And up of it runs percentage flow concentrated why reason the we Yeah, like could because there that, that. through that quoted historical disproportionate the level, is of – this our a that, when an was amount the

sales got well, the open of dealers' years So, of it will, get visibility an that's over ground, opportunity, what's just amazing calendar, long taking. viscerally but of it's tool the an can We get We slots dealers or market, gives and we've insight as we've But on biggest he distribute expanded driven just the we the use going Probably see appointment. that if are. the people does a were time the great of we've tool, the proximity of is of rolled open Obviously better it's they the dealer before that we SAT to so to it's – rate. use know dealer customer who you over the into on of the how actually homeowner stress the – has very algorithms does, driven-off to which great. it like – closer schedule algorithm so better she's see kind X,XXX what us can to We either. they the we just normal the because it appointment lags have and dealers calendar the are and which the SAT, important had leads, area computer to can't to leads algorithm things close been how dealers and close overload that, gives we scores the kind homeowner, rates, busy out. a

had manual the flow of algorithm the here, of a of kind and take to of back just because our app PowerPlay some do well we've So we've above and ever unhook what kind lead step leads is amount seen. from distribution

all So, interested center. are in number that that a those a customers we're fashion. can to we're sure timely the to a we've added second customers leads take the of category, call things getting those that that done people We've care of in talking make and to

visibility So, again, to understand going on way the to really really insight, is I good us and PowerPlay a with market. on what's the great the end for the of get tool think leading transaction

Charles Brady

of you it I'm kind did of a backlog, do you factors. work? least to – some just people backlogs today, because to of into work, it But, sense and come guess an because you if have generator what visibility do put like waiting I on kind just the the I'm that have of had Sandy, of the way about XXXX, point the Aaron, talked Sandy do having the a of part Northeast months get early at had, least guess wondering out with to look we that have you months visibility from number slot wondering this demand doesn't months not the kind ability from go installation with actual and got, in pent-up that what you and install sort you've I you are the of And mean, to of I have over any standpoint, guys at a and guy on. there have a

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

so here, Yeah, it's the just a of Charley, doing early, process the of and because doing lot still the so the its right the actual consultation. now the IHC, it's going in – in-home

gas how obviously where know consultation. matures and when see and is you then it see, very we time timeline, you're two actually that's some occur The an it had had and generator I install, the IHC your do couldn't the impacted we because about to what have a occurs, a With point it get the now, inspection. months types inspection, meter not lower issue the noted times to the installs. down, to with kind the be even an and scheduling It's upgrade. do make utility it only installation do actually occurs meter before pitching month companies on a when do actually very see the in viscerally notably next meter was close home pressure, right so, make And see meters, to have of then but companies, just upgrades, rate takes bandwidth, regions Northeast country can dealer sitting to sale home didn't themselves of or activation the we'll meters. here. And – the The bandwidth So, again, enough you somebody's over to putting gas out inspectors lags. when normally different the you occurs, schedule company, Sandy, or then, to around to get an of the a actually the you three to actually different the into the required close Sandy companies it, that the plot had and by the come is. from we and the – has companies to And getting to constraints. about gas on that we permit, the bandwidth talking the a the actually constraint is mean, a time lot of months can –

all chain. throttle happen So, kind of points these along the of

for Florida Florida. most be is will coastal the processes has difficult, real that projects Florida and different of very Now, very regions, notoriously, this. cumbersome estate, in like a which has especially permitting

a to can them still be long. – are of part but after that'll So, as storms, expedite recovery, able sometimes a storm they very it be

around needing things have having tank, there's You certain gas – natural a a not line. propane if

to that has ability propane lot times to and tank buried. of put a the So, it tank be – and procure

the local the come comply to tank have do equipment codes. with schedule and to So to you and bury excavation

typically in environment. in Florida So, normal else in we the longer installs take than anywhere a see country

more Northeast, the do Florida lot installations. a ground freezes, in didn't this Sandy, up So, the do good the can you the thing were year in That's – weather, one difficult now installs once is, with by have round. the we news Sandy we to constrained with it's

you'll see but still with So, be able Florida tank a utility a to for the progress state meter. requirement the in Florida is, the be present what of disconnect installations, that to installs, in we'll those propane permitting there's the

Power to anomaly, lot in – same be potential of or to requirement another requirements, a activity. actually the perform a not licensed Florida that. can but point

a we forward. monitor see there's what based visibility perfect be provide XXXX, But lot we'll I'm going really pieces it. that. those And updated go way forward, just, on into of it guidance into moving you we going go So have close are the so as can and we'll rates don't to we as as describing on

So, of going fourth that's a clear over lot the become here to quarter.

Charles Brady

Yeah. maybe of the That's been in color. with kind you've relative insight. great saw running one appreciate update you one on to for just that maybe Northeast, me. that The expectations? promotion I And just quick traction

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

your the question next is from our line Elliott of comes now And from Sir, open. line Stanley Stifel.

Stanley Stoker Elliott

Thank guys. you question. for Hey, taking the

York A. Ragen

Good morning.

Stanley Stoker Elliott

not question, quick come going Rico, to I Puerto just have of kind from from sure does Mexico there back the you on be exactly would ship to requirements was there? all what U.S., it or EPA A can

Aaron P. Jagdfeld

just either from it's paraphrase you diesel requirement so put six in in like very, I'm a use, this to that Because we're EPA – pretty rule for Europe, certification emission we the now. Yeah, is EPA for a going no in of case, normally moving our so waiver stated world. read generators other kind – of that, really next the levels, emergency target here. we'd place on But basically a EPA for right months, the there's But regulations we levels as or can would some two ship even I right sending products world call areas see hours what they'd another the or from effectively, regions not for of are Mexico certain of levels in that very be other targeted compliant, be other – now, been response has if storm is, because with be thick. obviously and facilities the from been during

that able is take we'll that requirement equipment, a the six-month compliant after island. months. move can't be owner-operator period, that They any environment period so, piece for six off it normal And do a or commission, the by the evidence they out either next of equipment of for There have operating the six-month the that to completely so that the equipment. to equipment in use of non-EPA beyond

as you Now, the downside U.S. I a the is one course of that, the is Rico of that that. think U.S. all Puerto problems that of get alongside and has issue this the is, territory, bigger regulation is, of

UL that so the products limits around supply And well. related as really

to is a EPA think So we here require to in the the specifications, this quite UL, compliant which don't U.S. if to be Underwriters of something is not UL period inspectors easily something that regulations going is a that Laboratories waived equipment UL, is as produce – time. unique I U.S. as for

the So products limits base Puerto but supply it Rico, U.S. UL will supply. manufacturing into

U.S., outside time. supply for U.S. to it going be answer majority that a There is of the come only comes of from the So the market. be limited limited supply could your still the amount from will to question, the some but
