NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2023

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Consolidation

Watsco, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Watsco,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated in Florida in 1956 and is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry in North America. The accompanying June 30, 2023 interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included herein. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form

10-K.

The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of Watsco, all of its wholly owned subsidiaries, the accounts of four

joint ventures with Carrier Global Corporation, which we refer to as Carrier, in which we have a controlling interest, the accounts of Carrier InterAmerica Corporation, in which we have an 80% controlling interest, and Carrier has a 20%

non-controlling

interest, and our 38.1% investment in Russell Sigler, Inc., which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment, and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, profitability can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns, particularly during the Summer and Winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is typically highest in the second and third quarters, and demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the first and fourth quarters. Demand related to the new construction sectors throughout most of the markets we serve tends to be fairly evenly distributed throughout the year and depends largely on housing completions and related weather and economic conditions.

Equity Method Investments

Investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are included in investment in unconsolidated entity in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets. Under this method of accounting, our proportionate share of the net income or loss of the investee is included in other income in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income. The excess, if any, of the carrying amount of our investment over our ownership percentage in the underlying net assets of the investee is attributed to certain fair value adjustments with the remaining portion recognized as goodwill.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Significant estimates include valuation reserves for accounts receivable, net realizable value adjustments to inventories, income taxes, reserves related to loss contingencies and the valuation of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, and long-lived assets. While we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from such estimates.

Diluted earnings per share for our Common stock assumes the conversion of all of our Class B common stock into Common stock as of the beginning of the fiscal year; therefore, no allocation of earnings to Class B common stock is required. At June 30, 2023 and 2022, our outstanding Class B common stock was convertible into 3,232,419 and 2,575,604 shares of our Common stock, respectively.

4. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of the foreign currency translation adjustment associated with our Canadian operations’ use of the Canadian dollar as their functional currency.

The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, was as follows:


Six Months Ended June 30,	2023			2022

5. ACQUISITION

Capitol District Supply Co., Inc.

On March 3, 2023, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries acquired Capitol District Supply Co., Inc., a distributor of air conditioning and heating products with annual sales of approximately $13,000, operating from three locations in New York. Consideration for the purchase consisted of $1,282 in cash, net of cash acquired of $144, and $1,851 for repayment of indebtedness.

The results of operations of this acquisition have been included in the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements from its date of acquisition. The pro forma effect of this acquisition was not deemed significant to the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

6. DEBT

On March 16, 2023, we entered into an unsecured, five-year $600,000 syndicated multicurrency revolving credit agreement, which replaced in its entirety our prior five-year $560,000 unsecured revolving credit agreement that was nearing maturity. Proceeds from the new facility were used to repay the $235,500 outstanding under the prior facility. Additional proceeds may be used for, among other things, funding seasonal working capital needs and other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, dividends (if and as declared by our Board of Directors), capital expenditures, stock repurchases, and issuances of letters of credit. The revolving credit facility has a seasonal component from October 1 to March 31, during which the borrowing capacity may be reduced to $500,000 at our discretion (which effectively reduces fees payable in respect of the unused portion of the commitment). Included in the revolving credit facility are a $125,000 swingline loan sublimit, a $10,000 letter of credit sublimit, a $75,000 alternative currency borrowing sublimit, and an $10,000 Mexican borrowing subfacility. The credit agreement matures on March 16, 2028.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at either Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or Daily Simple SOFR-based rates plus 0.10%, plus a spread which ranges from 100.0 to 137.5 basis-points (Term SOFR and Daily Simple SOFR plus 100.0 basis-points at June 30, 2023), depending on our ratio of total debt to EBITDA, or on rates based on the highest of the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%, the Prime Rate or Term SOFR plus 1.0%, in each case plus a spread which ranges from 0 to 50.0 basis-points (0 basis-points at June 30, 2023), depending on our ratio of total debt to EBITDA. We pay a variable commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitment under the revolving credit agreement, ranging from 12.5 to 27.5 basis-points (12.5 basis-points at June 30, 2023). We paid fees of $580 in connection with entering into the revolving credit agreement, which are being amortized ratably through the maturity of the facility in March 2028.

At June 30, 2023, $342,900 was outstanding under the revolving credit agreement. The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants with respect to consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios, and other customary restrictions. We believe we were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2023.

7. DERIVATIVES

We enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to offset the earnings impact that foreign exchange rate fluctuations would otherwise have on certain monetary liabilities that are denominated in nonfunctional currencies.

Table of Contents

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

We have entered into foreign currency forward and option contracts that are either not designated as hedges or did not qualify for hedge accounting. These derivative instruments were effective economic hedges for all of the periods presented. The fair value gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in earnings as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. The total notional value of our foreign currency exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments at June 30, 2023 was $18,800, and such contracts expired in July 2023.

We recognized losses of $1,658 and $52 from foreign currency forward and option contracts not designated as hedging instruments in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We recognized losses of $2,052 and $375 from foreign currency forward and option contracts not designated as hedging instruments in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments, which consist solely of foreign exchange contracts, included in other current assets in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets. See Note 8.

8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following tables present our assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are measured on a recurring basis:


			Total		Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2023 Using
	Balance Sheet Location		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Derivative financial instruments		Other current assets	$	9		—	$	9		—
Equity securities		Other assets	$	779	$	779		—		—
Private equities		Other assets	$	1,000		—		—	$	1,000

Assets:
Equity securities		Other assets	$	678	$	678		—		—
Private equities		Other assets	$	1,000		—		—	$	1,000

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used for these assets and liabilities, as well as the level of input used to measure fair value:

Derivative financial instruments

– these derivatives are foreign currency forward and option contracts. See Note 7. Fair value is based on observable market inputs, such as forward rates in active markets; therefore, we classify these derivatives within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Equity securities

– these investments are exchange-traded equity securities. Fair values for these investments are based on closing stock prices from active markets and are therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Private equities

– other investment in which fair value inputs are unobservable and are therefore classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

9. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

At-the-Market

Offering Program

On February 25, 2022, we entered into an amended and restated sales agreement with Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, which enables the Company to issue and sell shares of Common stock in one or more negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for a maximum aggregate offering amount of up to $300,000 (the “ATM Program”). The offer and sale of our Common stock pursuant to the ATM Program has been registered under the Securities Act pursuant to our automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form

S-3

(File

No. 333-260758).

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, we

issued and

sold 45,000 shares of Common stock under the ATM Program for net proceeds of $15,179. Direct costs of $375 incurred in connection with the offering were charged against the proceeds from the sale of Common stock and reflected as a reduction of

paid-in

capital. At June 30, 2023, $284,745 remained available for sale under the ATM Program.

Common Stock Dividends

We paid cash dividends of $2.45, $2.20, $4.90, and $4.15 per share on both Common and Class B common stock during the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Restricted Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, a total of 6,047 shares of Common and Class B common stock with an aggregate fair market value of $1,664 were withheld as payment in lieu of cash to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock. These shares were retired upon delivery. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, 8,181 shares of Class B common stock with an aggregate fair market value of $2,179 were withheld as payment in lieu of cash to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock. These shares were retired upon delivery.

Exercise of Stock Options

Cash received from the exercise of stock options during the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, was $4,526, $3,267, $12,694, and $7,222, respectively.

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, 1,737 shares of Common stock with an aggregate fair market value of $595, and 17,392 shares of Common stock with an aggregate fair market value of $5,383, respectively, were withheld as payment in lieu of cash for stock option exercises. These shares were retired upon delivery.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

During the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we received net proceeds of $554 and $541, respectively, for shares of our Common stock purchased under our employee stock purchase plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we received net proceeds of $1,133 and $1,006, respectively, for shares of our Common stock purchased under our employee stock purchase plan.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation, Claims, and Assessments

We are involved in litigation incidental to the operation of our business. We vigorously defend all matters in which we or our subsidiaries are named defendants and, for insurable losses, maintain significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments that may affect us. Although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage and the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, based on the current information available, we do not believe the ultimate liability associated with any known claims or litigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Self-Insurance

Self-insurance reserves are maintained relative to company-wide casualty insurance and health benefit programs. The level of exposure from catastrophic events is limited by the purchase of stop-loss and aggregate liability reinsurance coverage. When estimating the self-insurance liabilities and related reserves, management considers several factors, which include historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors, and valuations provided by independent third-party actuaries. Management reviews its assumptions with its independent third-party actuaries to evaluate whether the self-insurance reserves are adequate. If actual claims or adverse development of loss reserves occur and exceed these estimates, additional reserves may be required. Reserves in the amounts of $10,961 and $12,256 at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, were established related to such programs and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets.

11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

urchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 66% and 60% of all inventory purchases made during

e quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Purchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 65% and 58% of all inventory purchases made during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately $214,000 and $88,000, respectively, was payable to Carrier and its affiliates, net of receivables. We also sell HVAC products to Carrier and its affiliates. Revenues in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 included approximately $32,000, $29,000, $54,000, and $50,000, respectively, of sales to Carrier and its affiliates. We believe these transactions are conducted on terms equivalent to an

arm’s-length

basis in the ordinary course of business.

A member of our Board of Directors is the Senior Chairman of Greenberg Traurig, P.A., which serves as our principal outside counsel for compliance and acquisition-related legal services. During the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, fees for services performed were $58, $97, $71 and $129, respectively, and $25 and $1 was payable at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Company Overview

Watsco, Inc. was incorporated in Florida in 1956, and, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “Watsco,” or “we,” “us,” or “our”) is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration equipment, and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry in North America. At June 30, 2023, we operated from 673 locations in 42 U.S. States, Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico with additional market coverage on an export basis to portions of Latin America and the Caribbean.

Revenues primarily consist of sales of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration equipment, and related parts and supplies. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of selling expenses, the largest components of which are salaries, commissions, and marketing expenses that are variable and correlate to changes in sales. Other significant selling, general and administrative expenses relate to the operation of warehouse facilities, including a fleet of trucks and forklifts, and facility rent, a majority of which we operate under

non-cancelable

operating leases.

Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment, and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, profitability can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns, particularly during the Summer and Winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is typically highest in the second and third quarters, and demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the first and fourth quarters. Demand related to the new construction sectors throughout most of the markets we serve tends to be fairly evenly distributed throughout the year and depends largely on housing completions and related weather and economic conditions.

Climate Change and Reductions in CO

e Emissions

We believe that our business plays an important and significant role in the drive to lower CO

e emissions. According to the United States Department of Energy, heating and air conditioning accounts for roughly half of household energy consumption in the United States. As such, replacing older, less efficient HVAC systems with higher efficiency systems is one of the most meaningful steps homeowners can take to reduce their electricity costs and carbon footprints.

The overwhelming majority of new HVAC systems that we sell replace systems that likely operate below current minimum efficiency standards in the United States and may use more harmful refrigerants that have been, or are being,

phased-out. As

consumers replace HVAC systems with new, higher-efficiency systems, homeowners will consume less energy, save costs, and reduce their carbon footprints.

The sale of high-efficiency systems has long been a focus of ours, and we have invested in tools and technology intended to capture an increasingly richer sales mix over time. In addition, regulatory mandates will likely periodically increase the required minimum Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio rating, referred to as SEER, thus providing a catalyst for greater sales of higher-efficiency systems. Recently enacted regulations increased the current minimum SEER beginning in 2023 (generally, to 14 SEER from 13 SEER in the Northern U.S. and to 15 SEER from 14 SEER for the Southern U.S.).

We offer a broad variety of systems that operate above the minimum SEER standards, ranging from base-level efficiency to systems that exceed 20 SEER. Based on estimates validated by independent sources, we averted an estimated 17.4 million metric tons of CO

e emissions from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2023 through the sale of replacement residential HVAC systems at higher-efficiency standards.

Federal Tax Credits and State Incentives

Demand for higher-efficiency products, such as variable-speed systems and heat pumps, is expected to increase due to the passage of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) in August 2022. This legislation is intended, in part, to promote the replacement of existing systems in favor of high-efficiency heat pump systems that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as compared to older systems, and thereby combat climate change. Programs under the IRA include enhanced tax credits for homeowners who install qualifying HVAC equipment and tax deductions for owners of commercial buildings that are upgraded to achieve defined energy

Table of Contents

savings. The IRA also sets aside $4.3 billion for state-administered consumer rebate programs designed to promote energy savings for low and medium-income households, including HVAC systems. Further details, including qualifying products, specific programs, and other regulatory requirements contemplated by the IRA are being determined and are expected to be launched during 2023.

Economic and Marketplace Dynamics

The global economic recovery from the

COVID-19

pandemic has included challenges such as

inflationary

pressure and supply chain disruptions. Certain of our manufacturers and suppliers continue to experience some level of supply chain disruptions caused by reduced component availability, labor shortages, transportation delays, and other logistical challenges, resulting in longer lead times and constrained availability of HVAC/R products. These challenges were exacerbated by the regulatory transition to higher SEER products that became effective in 2023. Revenues for the first half of 2023 reflected temporary production and availability delays by one of our primary OEM partners. We estimate that revenues were negatively impacted by approximately 4% both during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, in each case due to constrained availability of inventory. Our OEMs are working to improve their supply chains and product availability in order to help us meet our customers’ needs.

We cannot estimate the future impact of supply chain disruptions to the extent that these disruptions become more pronounced than current conditions. We continue to take proactive steps to limit the impact of these disruptions and are working closely with our suppliers to ensure the availability of products. Also, we continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form

10-Q,

which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. At least quarterly, management reevaluates its judgments and estimates, which are based on historical experience, current trends, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Our critical accounting estimates are included in our Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2023. We believe that there have been no significant changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The following narratives reflect our acquisition of Capitol District Supply Co., Inc. (“Capitol”) in March 2023. We did not acquire any businesses during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 or the quarter or six months ended June 30, 2022.

In the following narratives, computations and other information referring to “same-store basis” exclude the effects of locations closed, acquired, or locations opened, in each case during the immediately preceding 12 months, unless such locations are within close geographical proximity to existing locations. At June 30, 2023 and 2022, four and nine locations, respectively, that we opened during the immediately preceding 12 months were near existing locations and were therefore included in “same-store basis” information.

The table below summarizes the changes in our locations for the 12 months ended June 30, 2023:


	Number of Locations
June 30, 2022		673
Opened		4

Revenues	$	2,003.1	$	2,133.8	$	(130.7	)	(6	%)

The decrease in revenues for the second quarter of 2023 included $2.4 million from locations closed, offset by $3.6 million attributable to new locations acquired and $3.1 million from other locations opened during the preceding 12 months.


	Quarters Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2023		2022		Change
Same-store sales	$	1,996.3	$	2,131.3	$	(135.0	)	(6	%)

Table of Contents

The following table presents our revenues, as a percentage of sales, by major product lines and the related percentage change in revenues from the prior period:


	% of Sales						% Change
	2023			2022			2023			2022

HVAC equipment sales reflect a 12% decrease in residential products, which is composed of unitary compressor-bearing systems, furnaces, and other indoor components, (13% decrease in U.S. markets and a 2% decrease in international markets) and an 18% increase in sales of commercial HVAC equipment (17% increase in U.S. markets and a 22% increase in international markets). Domestic sales of unitary compressor-bearing systems declined 12%, reflecting a 21% decrease in units and a 9% increase in average selling price.

Gross Profit


	Quarters Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2023			2022			Change
Gross profit	$	562.6		$	595.5		$	(32.9	)	(6%	)
Gross margin		28.1	%		27.9	%

Gross profit margin improved 20 basis-points primarily due to the timing of price increases in 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses


	Quarters Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2023			2022			Change
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	304.2		$	314.8		$	(10.6	)	(3%	)
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues		15.2	%		14.8	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2023 decreased primarily due to lower revenues. On a same-store basis, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 4% as compared to 2022, primarily due to decreased variable costs commensurate with decreased revenues.

Other Income

Other income of $7.2 million and $6.3 million for the second quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively, represents our share of the net income of Russell Sigler, Inc. (“RSI”), in which we have a 38.1% equity interest.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net for the second quarter of 2023 increased $2.3 million, or 208%, primarily due to a higher effective interest rate and higher average borrowings under our revolving credit facility for the 2023 period as compared to the same period in 2022.

Income Taxes


	Quarters Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2023			2022			Change
Income taxes	$	56.9		$	60.5		$	(3.6	)	(6%	)
Effective income tax rate		24.6	%		23.8	%

Income taxes represent a composite of the income taxes attributable to our wholly owned operations and income taxes attributable to our joint ventures with Carrier Global Corporation (“Carrier”), which are primarily taxed as partnerships for income tax purposes; therefore, Carrier is responsible for its proportionate share of income taxes attributable to its share of earnings from these joint ventures. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to higher state income taxes and lower share-based compensation deductions in 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.

Net income attributable to Watsco, Inc. for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 decreased $19.8 million, or 10%, compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by lower revenues and gross profit and higher interest expense, net, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses, higher other income, and lower income taxes.

First Half of 2023 Compared to First Half of 2022

Revenues


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2023		2022		Change
Revenues	$	3,553.7	$	3,657.3	$	(103.6	)	(3	%)

The decrease in revenues for the first half of 2023 included $4.0 million from locations closed, offset by $4.7 million attributable to new locations acquired and $6.3 million from other locations opened during the preceding 12 months.


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2023		2022		Change
Same-store sales	$	3,542.7	$	3,653.3	$	(110.6	)	(3	%)

The following table presents our revenues, as a percentage of sales, by major product lines and the related percentage change in revenues from the prior period:


	% of Sales						% Change
	2023			2022			2023			2022
HVAC equipment		69	%		69	%		(4	%)		24	%
Other HVAC products		27	%		28	%		(5	%)		27	%
Commercial refrigeration products		4	%		3	%		6	%		30	%

HVAC equipment sales reflect a 9% decrease in residential products, which is composed of unitary compressor-bearing systems, furnaces, and other indoor components, (9% decrease in U.S. markets and a 4% decrease in international markets) and a 21% increase in sales of commercial HVAC equipment (21% increase in U.S. markets and a 21% increase in international markets). Domestic sales of unitary compressor-bearing systems declined 7%, reflecting a 16% decrease in units and a 9% increase in average selling price.

Gross Profit


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2023			2022			Change
Gross profit	$	1,010.8		$	1,045.9		$	(35.1	)	(3%	)
Gross margin		28.4	%		28.6	%

Gross profit margin declined 20 basis-points primarily due to less beneficial pricing actions taken by our HVAC equipment suppliers in 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2023			2022			Change
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	591.2		$	598.1		$	(6.9	)	(1%	)
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues		16.6	%		16.4	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first half of 2023 decreased primarily due to lower variable costs commensurate with the decline in revenues.

Table of Contents

Other Income

Other income of $10.9 million and $10.4 million for the first half of 2023 and 2022, respectively, represents our share of the net income of RSI, in which we have a 38.1% equity interest.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net for the first half of 2023 increased $2.4 million, or 142%, primarily due to a higher effective interest rate, partially offset by lower average outstanding borrowings, in each case under our revolving credit facility, for the 2023 period as compared to the same period in 2022.

Income Taxes


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2023			2022			Change
Income taxes	$	90.6		$	96.1		$	(5.5	)	(6	%)
Effective income tax rate		24.1	%		23.8	%

Income taxes represent a composite of the income taxes attributable to our wholly owned operations and income taxes attributable to our joint ventures with Carrier Global Corporation (“Carrier”), which are primarily taxed as partnerships for income tax purposes; therefore, Carrier is responsible for its proportionate share of income taxes attributable to its share of earnings from these joint ventures. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to higher state income taxes partially offset by higher share-based compensation deductions in 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.

Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.

Net income attributable to Watsco, Inc. for the first half of 2023 decreased $23.0 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by lower revenues and gross profit and higher interest expense, net, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses, higher other income, and lower income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to execute our business strategy and fund operating and investing activities, taking into consideration the seasonal demand for HVAC/R products, which peaks in the months of May through August. Significant factors that could affect our liquidity include the following:

•

cash needed to fund our business (primarily working capital requirements);

•

borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility;

•

the ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms;

•

acquisitions, including joint ventures and investments in unconsolidated entities;

•

dividend payments;

•

capital expenditures; and

•

the timing and extent of common stock repurchases.

Sources and Uses of Cash

We rely on cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreement to fund seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes in the short-term and the long-term, including dividend payments (if and as declared by our Board of Directors), capital expenditures, business acquisitions, and development of our long-term operating and technology strategies. Additionally, we may also generate cash through the issuance and sale of our Common stock.

As of June 30, 2023, we had $162.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $116.2 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. The repatriation of cash balances from our foreign subsidiaries could have adverse tax impacts or be subject to capital controls; however, these balances are generally available to fund the ordinary business operations of our foreign subsidiaries without legal restrictions.

We believe that our operating cash flows, cash on hand, funds available for borrowing under our revolving credit agreement, and funds available from sales of our Common stock under our ATM Program (as defined below), each of which is described below, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that our current sources of available funds will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements.

Our access to funds under our revolving credit agreement depends on the ability of the syndicate banks to meet their respective funding commitments. Disruptions in the credit and capital markets could adversely affect our ability to draw on our revolving credit agreement and may also adversely affect the determination of interest rates, particularly rates based on the Secured Overnight

Table of Contents

Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which is one of the base rates under our revolving credit agreement. SOFR has limited historical data and is a secured lending rate, which could give rise to uncertainties and volatility in the benchmark rates. Additionally, disruptions in the credit and capital markets could also result in increased borrowing costs or reduced borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreement.

Working Capital

Working capital increased to $1,926.6 million at June 30, 2023 from $1,392.2 million at December 31, 2022, due to: (i) higher inventory balances driven by the seasonal

ramp-up

in inventories in connection with our selling season, new inventory requirements pertaining to the transition to higher minimum efficiency levels for residential HVAC systems that went into effect on January 1, 2023, greater inventory carry as a consequence of various supply chain disruptions, and inflation; (ii) higher accounts receivable due to the seasonality of our business; and (iii) the classification of borrowings under our revolving credit agreement as long-term at June 30, 2023, which were offset by an increase in accounts payable consistent with the change in inventory.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in millions):


	2023			2022			Change
Cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(89.2	)	$	73.1		$	(162.3	)
Cash flows used in investing activities	$	(17.6	)	$	(18.9	)	$	1.3
Cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities	$	120.5		$	(42.3	)	$	162.8

The individual items contributing to cash flow changes for the periods presented are detailed in the condensed consolidated unaudited statements of cash flows contained in this Quarterly Report on Form

10-Q.

Operating Activities

The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the timing of vendor payments and lower net income in 2023 as compared to 2022, partially offset by the timing of collections and inventory purchases.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was lower primarily due to lower capital expenditures and higher proceeds from the sale of property and equipment partially offset by cash consideration paid for our acquisition of Capitol in 2023.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased primarily due to higher borrowings under our revolving credit agreement and proceeds from the sale of Common stock used for repayments under our revolving credit agreement, partially offset by an increase in dividends paid in 2023.

Revolving Credit Agreement

On March 16, 2023, we entered into an unsecured, five-year $600.0 million syndicated multicurrency revolving credit agreement, which replaced in its entirety our prior five-year $560.0 million unsecured revolving credit agreement that was nearing maturity. Proceeds from the new facility were used to repay the $235.5 million outstanding under the prior facility. Additional proceeds may be used for, among other things, funding seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, dividends (if and as declared by our Board of Directors), capital expenditures, stock repurchases, and issuances of letters of credit. The revolving credit facility has a seasonal component from October 1 to March 31, during which the borrowing capacity may be reduced to $500.0 million at our discretion (which effectively reduces fees payable in respect of the unused portion of the commitment). Included in the revolving credit facility are a $125.0 million swingline loan sublimit, a $10.0 million letter of credit sublimit, a $75.0 million alternative currency borrowing sublimit, and an $10.0 million Mexican borrowing subfacility. The credit agreement matures on March 16, 2028.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at either Term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR-based rates plus 0.10%, plus a spread which ranges from 100.0 to 137.5 basis-points (Term SOFR and Daily Simple SOFR plus 100.0 basis-points at June 30, 2023), depending on our ratio of total debt to EBITDA, or on rates based on the highest of the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%, the Prime Rate or Term SOFR plus 1.0%, in each case plus a spread which ranges from 0 to 50.0 basis-points (0 basis-points at June 30, 2023), depending on our ratio of total debt to EBITDA. We pay a variable commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitment under the revolving credit agreement, ranging from 12.5 to 27.5 basis-points (12.5 basis-points at June 30, 2023). We paid fees of $0.6 million in connection with entering into the revolving credit agreement, which are being amortized ratably through the maturity of the facility in March 2028.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2023, $342.9 million was outstanding under the revolving credit agreement. The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants with respect to consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios, and other customary restrictions. We believe we were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2023.

At-the-Market

Offering Program

On February 25, 2022, we entered into an amended and restated sales agreement with Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, which enables the Company to issue and sell shares of Common stock in one or more negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for a maximum aggregate offering amount of up to $300.0 million (the “ATM Program”). The offer and sale of our Common stock pursuant to the ATM Program has been registered under the Securities Act pursuant to our automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form

S-3

(File

No. 333-260758).

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, we issued and sold 45,000 shares of Common stock under the ATM Program for net proceeds of $15.2 million. Direct costs of $0.4 million incurred in connection with the offering were charged against the proceeds from the sale of Common stock and reflected as a reduction of

paid-in

capital. At June 30, 2023, $284.7 million remained available for sale under the ATM Program.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entity

Carrier Enterprise I, one of our joint ventures with Carrier, in which we have an 80% controlling interest, has a 38.1% ownership interest in RSI, an HVAC distributor operating from 34 locations in the Western U.S. Our proportionate share of the net income of RSI is included in other income in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income.

Carrier Enterprise I is a party to a shareholders’ agreement (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”) with RSI and its shareholders, consisting of five Sigler second generation family siblings and their affiliates, who collectively own 55.8% of RSI (the “RSI Majority Holders”) and certain next-generation Sigler family members and an employee, who collectively own 3.1% of RSI (the “RSI Minority Holders” and, together with the RSI Majority Holders, the “RSI Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement, the RSI Shareholders have the right to sell, and Carrier Enterprise I has the obligation to purchase, their respective shares of RSI for a purchase price determined based on the higher of book value or a multiple of EBIT, the latter of which Carrier Enterprise I used to calculate the price for its 38.1% investment held in RSI. The RSI Shareholders may transfer their respective shares of RSI common stock only to members of the Sigler family or to Carrier Enterprise I, and, at any time from and after the date on which Carrier Enterprise I owns 85% or more of RSI’s outstanding common stock, it has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from the RSI Shareholders the remaining outstanding shares of RSI common stock. At June 30, 2023, using the criteria set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement, the valuation of the RSI Shareholders’ RSI common stock was approximately $374.0 million. In July 2023, the Company, Carrier Enterprise I and the RSI Majority Holders entered into an agreement that (1) provides Carrier Enterprise I the discretion, but not the obligation, to fund up to 80% of any purchase from the RSI Majority Holders of their RSI shares, as required under the Shareholders’ Agreement, using Watsco Common stock, (2) provides that any such Watsco common stock actually issued would be valued based on the average volume-weighted average price of the Watsco Common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the payment date for the applicable RSI shares and (3) limits the amount of RSI shares that may be collectively sold by the RSI Majority Holders to Carrier Enterprise I under the Shareholders’ Agreement to $125.0 million during any rolling 12-month period. We believe that our operating cash flows, cash on hand, funds available for borrowing under our revolving credit agreement, or use of the ATM Program would be sufficient to purchase any additional ownership interests in

RSI

Acquisitions

On March 3, 2023, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries acquired Capitol, a distributor of air conditioning and heating products with annual sales of approximately $13.0 million, operating from three locations in New York. Consideration for the purchase consisted of $1.3 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $0.1 million, and $1.8 million for repayment of indebtedness.

We continually evaluate potential acquisitions and/or joint ventures and investments in unconsolidated entities. We routinely hold discussions with several acquisition candidates. Should suitable acquisition opportunities arise that would require additional financing, we believe our financial position and earnings history provide a sufficient basis for us to either obtain additional debt financing at competitive rates and on reasonable terms or raise capital through the issuance of equity securities.

Common Stock Dividends

We paid cash dividends of $4.90 and $4.15 per share of Common stock and Class B common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. On July 3, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $2.45 per share of both Common and Class B common stock that was paid on July 31, 2023 to shareholders of record as of July 17, 2023. Future dividends and changes in dividend rates are at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and depend upon factors including, but not limited to, cash flow generated by operations, profitability, financial condition, cash requirements, and future prospects.

Company Share Repurchase Program

In September 1999, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, at management’s discretion, of up to 7,500,000 shares of common stock in the open market or via private transactions. Shares repurchased under the program are accounted for using the cost method and result in a reduction of shareholders’ equity. We last repurchased shares under this plan in 2008. In aggregate, 6,370,913 shares of Common and Class B common stock have been repurchased at a cost of $114.4 million since the inception of the program. At June 30, 2023, there were 1,129,087 shares remaining authorized for repurchase under the program. The IRA includes, among other provisions, a 1% excise tax on stock repurchases effective January 1, 2023. In considering any further stock repurchases under our repurchase program, we intend to evaluate the impact of the IRA’s 1% excise tax.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule

13a-15(e)

under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are, among other things, designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Executive Vice President (“EVP”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate SEC filings.

Our management, with the participation of our CEO, EVP and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based on that evaluation, our CEO, EVP and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at a reasonable assurance level, at and as of such date.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We are continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations and of our internal controls. This results in refinements to processes throughout the Company. However, there were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules

13a-15(f)

and

15d-15(f)

under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

trading arrangement”, as defined in Item 408 of Regulation

S-K.

As previously reported, Carrier Enterprise I is a party to a shareholders’ agreement (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”) with RSI and its shareholders, consisting of five Sigler second generation family siblings and their affiliates, who collectively own 55.8% of RSI (the “RSI Majority Holders”) and certain next-generation Sigler family members and an employee, who collectively own 3.1% of RSI (the “RSI Minority Holders” and, together with the RSI Majority Holders, the “RSI Shareholders”). Pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement, the RSI Shareholders have the right to sell, and Carrier Enterprise I has the obligation to purchase, their respective shares of RSI for a purchase price determined based on the higher of book value or a multiple of EBIT, the latter of which Carrier Enterprise I used to calculate the price for its 38.1% investment held in RSI. At June 30, 2023, using the criteria set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement, the valuation of the

RSI

Shareholders’ RSI common stock was approximately $374.0 million.

On July 28, 2023, the Company, Carrier Enterprise I and the RSI Majority Holders entered into an agreement that (1) provides Carrier Enterprise I the discretion, but not the obligation, to fund up to 80% of any purchase from the RSI Majority Holders of their RSI common stock, as required under the Shareholders’ Agreement, using Watsco Common stock (the “Offered Shares”), (2) provides that any Offered Shares actually issued would be valued based on the average volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Common stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the payment date for the applicable RSI shares and (3) limits the amount of RSI shares that may be collectively sold by the RSI Majority Holders to Carrier Enterprise I under the Shareholders’ Agreement to $125.0 million during any rolling 12-month period. The Company has not issued or sold any Offered Shares, and there is no assurance that the Company will issue and sell any Offered Shares, nor is the number of Offered Shares that may be issued and sold currently determinable.

The Offered Shares that may be issued to the RSI Majority Holders were offered in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company relied on this exemption from registration based in part on representations made by the RSI Majority Holders, including that each RSI Majority Holder is an “accredited investor”, as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.

Additionally, on July 28, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of the assets of an HVAC distribution company, pursuant to which, at closing, the Company would pay $95.0 million, subject to adjustment, to the seller in the form of the Company’s Common stock (the “Purchase Shares”). Based on the closing price of the Company’s Common stock of $359.50 per share, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on August 2, 2023, the Company would issue approximately 264,256 Purchase Shares. Consummation of this transaction is subject to conditions outside of the Company’s and the seller’s control, and no closing date has been established, nor will the precise number of Purchase Shares be determined until, and subject to, the closing of such transaction. The Purchase Shares that may be issued to the seller were offered in reliance on an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company relied on this exemption from registration based in part on representations made by the seller, including that the seller is an “accredited investor”, as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.

The offer and sale of the securities described in this Item 5 have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. This Quarterly Report is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)	6 Months Ended
BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)	Jun. 30, 2023
Basis of Consolidation	Basis of Consolidation Watsco, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Watsco,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated in Florida in 1956 and is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry in North America. The accompanying June 30, 2023 interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included herein. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of Watsco, all of its wholly owned subsidiaries, the accounts of four joint ventures with Carrier Global Corporation, which we refer to as Carrier, in which we have a controlling interest, the accounts of Carrier InterAmerica Corporation, in which we have an 80% controlling interest, and Carrier has a 20% non-controlling interest, and our 38.1% investment in Russell Sigler, Inc., which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment, and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, profitability can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns, particularly during the Summer and Winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is typically highest in the second and third quarters, and demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the first and fourth quarters. Demand related to the new construction sectors throughout most of the markets we serve tends to be fairly evenly distributed throughout the year and depends largely on housing completions and related weather and economic conditions.
Equity Method Investments	Equity Method Investments Investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are included in investment in unconsolidated entity in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets. Under this method of accounting, our proportionate share of the net income or loss of the investee is included in other income in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income. The excess, if any, of the carrying amount of our investment over our ownership percentage in the underlying net assets of the investee is attributed to certain fair value adjustments with the remaining portion recognized as goodwill.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Significant estimates include valuation reserves for accounts receivable, net realizable value adjustments to inventories, income taxes, reserves related to loss contingencies and the valuation of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, and long-lived assets. While we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from such estimates.
