The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included herein contain all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. Operating results for the period from January 1, 2024 through March 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

For additional information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K”), filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 14, 2024.

We report financial information on a fiscal quarter basis using a modified four-four-five week calendar. Our fiscal calendar begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. We have elected the first, second and third quarters to end on a Saturday in order to not disrupt business processes. The effects of this election are generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only exist within a reporting year.

We consider the applicability and impact of all recent accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and disclose only those that may have a material impact.

The Company records assets held for sale at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. The following criteria are used to determine if property is held for sale: (i) management has the authority and commits to a plan to sell the property; (ii) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition; (iii) there is an active program to locate a buyer and the plan to sell the property has been initiated; (iv) the sale of the property is probable within one year; (v) the property is being actively marketed at a reasonable sale price relative to its current fair value; and (vi) it is unlikely that the plan to sell will be withdrawn or that significant changes to the plan will be made. The carrying value of assets and liabilities held for sale at March 30, 2024, are $38 million in other current assets and $18 million in accrued liabilities, respectively, and zero in the comparable period. Assets held for sale at March 30, 2024 are actively marketed for sale and are under contract. These assets were sold during the second quarter.

The Company’s segment information is evaluated by our Chief Executive Officer, who is also the CODM, and is consistent with how management reviews and assesses the performance of the business as well as makes investing and resource allocation decisions. We monitor our operations through our two reportable segments: Products and Solutions and ADI Global Distribution, and report Corporate separately.

These operating segments follow the same accounting policies used for the financial statements. We evaluate a segment’s performance on a U.S. GAAP basis, primarily operating income before corporate expenses.

Corporate expenses include costs related to the corporate office such as the executive function, legal, accounting, tax, treasury, corporate development, human resources, and information technology. Additionally, unallocated amounts for non-operating items such as Reimbursement Agreement expense, interest income (expense), other income (expense) and provision for income taxes are reported within Corporate.

The following table represents summary financial data attributable to the segments:

The Company’s CODM does not use segment assets information to allocate resources or to assess performance of the segments and therefore, total segment assets have not been disclosed.

We have two operating segments, Products and Solutions and ADI Global Distribution. Disaggregated revenue information for Products and Solutions is presented by product grouping, while ADI Global Distribution is presented by region.

The following table presents revenue by business line and geographic location, as we believe this presentation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of net revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors:

The following table represents restructuring expense attributable to the segments:

The following table summarizes the status of our restructuring expenses included within accrued liabilities on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Stock Incentive Plan, which consists of the Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan of Resideo Technologies, Inc. and its Affiliates and the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Resideo Technologies, Inc., provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock and other stock-based awards. The maximum aggregate shares of common stock that may be granted under these plans are 19.5 million with 3.2 million available to be granted at March 30, 2024.    

A summary of awards granted as part of our annual long-term compensation follows:

Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax was $14 million and $12 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively.

The following table summarizes the details of our inventories, net:

Our goodwill balance and changes in carrying value by segment are as follows:

Intangible assets amortization expense was $9 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023.

Total operating lease costs are as follows:

The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of our operating lease assets and liabilities:

Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases was as follows:

Long-term debt is comprised of the following:

In March 2021, we entered into eight interest rate swap agreements (“Swap Agreements”) with several financial institutions for a combined notional value of $560 million. The Swap Agreements were entered into to reduce the consolidated interest rate risk associated with variable rate, long-term debt.

The Swap Agreements are adjusted to fair value on a quarterly basis. The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation of derivative instruments in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets as well as the changes in fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss:

The following table summarizes the effect of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income and the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Unrealized gains expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss in the next 12 months are estimated to be $21 million as of March 30, 2024.

The estimated fair value of our financial instruments held, and when applicable, issued to finance our operations, is summarized below. Certain estimates and judgments were required to develop the fair value amounts. The fair value amounts shown below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we would realize upon disposition, nor do they indicate our intent or ability to dispose of the financial instrument. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are required to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There were no changes in the methodologies used in our valuation practices as of March 30, 2024.

The fair values of long-term debt instruments were determined using quoted market prices in inactive markets or discounted cash flows based upon current observable market interest rates and therefore were classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table provides a summary of the carrying amount and fair value of outstanding debt:

The following table provides a summary of the carrying amount and fair value of our interest rate swaps:

There are no Level 1 or Level 3 assets or liabilities for the periods presented. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these amounts.

Accrued liabilities consist of the following:

We are subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign government requirements relating to the protection of the environment and accrue costs related to environmental matters when it is probable that we have incurred a liability related to a contaminated site and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We believe that, as a general matter, our policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and personal injury and that our handling, manufacture, use and disposal of hazardous substances are in accordance with environmental and safety laws and regulations. We have incurred remedial response and voluntary cleanup costs for site contamination and are a party to claims associated with environmental and safety matters, including products containing hazardous substances. Additional claims and costs involving environmental matters are likely to continue to arise in the future.

The Reimbursement Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnification Agreements”) are further described below.

We separated from Honeywell International Inc. (“Honeywell”) on October 29, 2018, becoming an independent publicly traded company as a result of a pro rata distribution of our common stock to shareholders of Honeywell (the “Spin-off”). In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a reimbursement agreement, pursuant to which we have an obligation to make cash payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of payments for certain Honeywell environmental-liability payments (the “Reimbursement Agreement”) which include amounts billed (payments), less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts relating to such liabilities, and less 90% of the net proceeds received by Honeywell in connection with (i) affirmative claims relating to such liabilities, (ii) contributions by other parties relating to such liabilities and (iii) certain property sales (the recoveries). The Reimbursement Agreement extends until the earlier of (1) December 31, 2043; or (2) December 31 of the third consecutive anniversary where the annual reimbursement obligation (including accrued amounts) has been less than $25 million. While the amount payable by us in respect of such liabilities arising in any given year is subject to a cap of $140 million under the Reimbursement Agreement, the estimated liability for resolution of pending and future environmental-related liabilities recorded on our balance sheets are calculated as if we were responsible for 100% of the environmental-liability payments associated with certain sites. Refer to Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into the Tax Matters Agreement with Honeywell, pursuant to which we are responsible and will indemnify Honeywell for certain taxes, including certain income taxes, sales taxes, VAT and payroll taxes, relating to the business for all periods, including periods prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off. In addition, the Tax Matters Agreement addresses the allocation of liability for taxes that are incurred as a result of restructuring activities undertaken to effectuate the Spin-Off.

We are required to indemnify Honeywell for any taxes resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off and related internal transactions to qualify for their intended tax treatment under U.S. federal, state and local income tax law, as well as foreign tax law, where such taxes result from our action or omission not permitted by the Separation and Distribution Agreement between Honeywell and Resideo dated as of October 19, 2018 or the Tax Matters Agreement.

The following table summarizes information concerning the Reimbursement and Tax Matter Agreements’ liabilities:

The liabilities related to the Reimbursement and Tax Matters Agreements are included in the following balance sheet accounts:

For the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, net expenses related to the Reimbursement Agreement were $43 million and $41 million, respectively.

We do not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of indemnification liabilities to be recorded upon future completion of studies, litigation or settlements, and neither the timing nor the amount of the ultimate costs associated with such indemnification liability payments can be determined although they could be material to our consolidated results of operations and operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid.

Independent of our payments under the Reimbursement Agreement, we will have ongoing liability for certain environmental claims, which are part of our ongoing business.

On June 28, 2023, Lisset Tredo, a Company employee, filed a putative class action complaint in the San Diego County Superior Court on behalf of all non-exempt employees in California, in which she alleges violations by the Company of the California Labor Code related to sick leave pay, accurate wage statements, recordkeeping, and pay timing, and on August 28, 2023 she filed a first amended complaint adding a claim under the California Private Attorneys General Act (the “Tredo Lawsuit”). In the Tredo Lawsuit, Tredo seeks alleged unpaid wages, restitution, interest, statutory penalties, civil penalties, attorneys’ fees and costs in an unknown amount. The Company answered the Tredo Lawsuit in which it asserted a general denial of plaintiff’s allegations and asserted various defenses.

We are investigating the allegations and defenses. At the request of plaintiff’s counsel, the parties have agreed to postpone mediation from January 2024 to May 2024, and to stay formal discovery pending the outcome of the mediation. If the case is not resolved at mediation, we intend to defend the matter vigorously; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in such defense. At this stage we are unable to estimate the total costs to defend the matter and have estimated the potential liability to be immaterial to us in the event that we are not successful in our defense.

In the normal course of business, we issue product warranties and product performance guarantees. We accrue for the estimated cost of product warranties and product performance guarantees based on contract terms and historical experience at the time of sale. Adjustments to initial obligations for warranties and guarantees are made as changes to the obligations become reasonably estimable. Product warranties and product performance guarantees are included in accrued and other liabilities. The following table summarizes information concerning recorded obligations for product warranties and product performance guarantees:

For interim periods, income tax is equal to the total of (1) year-to-date pretax income multiplied by the forecasted effective tax rate plus (2) tax expense items specific to the period. In situations where we expect to report losses and where we do not expect to receive tax benefits, we apply separate forecast effective tax rates to those jurisdictions rather than including them in the consolidated forecast effective tax rate.

For the three months ended March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, the net tax expense was $30 million and $24 million, respectively, and consists primarily of interim period tax expense based on year-to-date pretax income multiplied by our forecasted effective tax rate. In addition to items specific to the period, our income tax rate is impacted by the mix of earnings across the jurisdictions in which we operate, non-deductible expenses, and U.S. taxation of foreign earnings.

The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share follows:

Diluted earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method and the average market price of our common stock for the period.

The following potentially dilutive instruments were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share because their effect would have been antidilutive, and in the case of certain PSUs, the contingency has not been satisfied:

The following table represents results of operations on a consolidated basis for the periods indicated:
