AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Resideo Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: REZI), a leading global provider of home comfort and security solutions, today announced financial and operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Highlights

Net Revenue of $1.0 billion, down 17% from $1.2 billion in the second quarter 2019
GAAP Net Loss of $76 million; compared to GAAP Net Loss of $11 million in the second quarter 2019
Adjusted Net Income¹ of $21 million, compared to Adjusted Net Income¹ of $63 million in the second quarter 2019
Adjusted EBITDA²of $63 million, down 48% from $122 million in the second quarter 2019
GAAP EPS of negative $0.62; Adjusted EPS³ of $0.17

Second Quarter Performance

Consolidated revenue of $1.0 billion in the second quarter 2020 decreased 17% compared with prior year of $1.2 billion. ADI Global Distribution segment revenue was $631 million, a decrease of 10% compared with revenue of $705 million in the prior year due to branch closures and COVID-related volume decline early in the quarter. Products & Solutions segment revenue was $398 million, a decrease of 26% compared with revenue of $537 million in the prior year driven by lower COVID-related demand early in the quarter and COVID-related production delays due to factory labor and supply chain challenges.

Gross profit percentage for the second quarter 2020 was 23%, compared to 26% from the prior year. The decline in gross profit percentage was attributed to lower revenue across both segments coupled with increased factory costs related to COVID-19 safety measures and unfavorable sales mix. These were partially offset by cost savings from transformation programs.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the second quarter 2020 were $242 million, down 14% from the prior year of $281 million. The decrease was a result of ongoing cost savings from transformation programs, COVID-19 related cost management actions and lower spin-related costs. These were partially offset by increased costs associated with transformation projects, commercial investments in our business and labor inflation.

Resideo's operating loss of $6 million in the second quarter 2020 compared to a prior year operating profit of $42 million. The operating loss was due to lower gross profit, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter 2020 was $63 million, representing a decrease of 48% compared with $122 million in the prior year, as a result of lower revenue and previously mentioned unfavorable sales mix, and increased factory costs partially offset by cost savings from transformation programs.

² Previously presented as Adjusted EBITDA excluding Honeywell reimbursement agreement cash payments (see Table 5 for description of change)
³ Previously presented as Adjusted EPS excluding Honeywell reimbursement agreement cash payments (see Table 5 for description of change)

ADI Global Distribution segment revenue decreased 10% to $631 million in the second quarter 2020 from $705 million in the prior year, because of COVID-19 related branch closures as well as modified/restricted operating activities in certain branches and lower customer activity in our stores across all sales regions. Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased from $47 million in the prior year to $28 million in the second quarter 2020, representing a decrease of 40% year-over-year, primarily due to lower revenue, partially offset by COVID-19 cost management actions.

Products & Solutions segment revenue decreased 26% to $398 million in the second quarter 2020 from $537 million in the prior year. The segment experienced lower revenue across all business lines. Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased from $75 million in the prior year to $35 million in the second quarter 2020, representing a decrease of 53% year-over-year. The decline was driven by previously described impacts as well as investments to support new product launches, and labor and other cost inflation. Cost management efforts and transformation programs helped mitigate volume impacts to segment Adjusted EBITDA.

Year-to-Date Performance

Consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $2.2 billion, down 10% compared with the revenue for the prior year of $2.5 billion. ADI Global Distribution revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1.3 billion, a decrease of 3% compared with revenue of $1.4 billion for the prior year. Products & Solutions revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $873 million, a decrease of 20% compared with $1.1 billion for the prior year.

Gross profit percentage for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 24%, compared to 27% for the prior year. The decline in gross profit percentage was the result of impacts from lower revenue across both segments coupled with increased factory costs related to COVID-19 safety measures and unfavorable sales mix. These were partially offset by cost savings from transformation programs.

SG&A expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $492 million, down 7% from the prior year of $528 million. The decrease was driven by ongoing cost savings from transformation programs, COVID-19 related cost actions, and a decrease in spin-related costs. These were partially offset by transformation related costs, commercial investments, and labor and other cost inflation.

Operating profit of $28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased 78% compared to operating profit of $127 million for the prior year. The decline was a function of the aforementioned impacts partially offset by lower SG&A expenses.

The Company's operating profit percentage was 1% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 5% for the prior year. The margin decline was a result of previously described impacts, but partially offset by lower SG&A expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 the Company reported a GAAP Net Loss of $97 million, or negative $0.79 per share.

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $162 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 declined $87 million, or 35% as compared to $249 million for the prior year. Products & Solutions segment Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $88 million, represented a 44% decline from $156 million for the prior year and ADI Global Distribution segment Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of $74 million, represented a 20% decline from $93 million for the prior year. Both segments' Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were negatively impacted by lower revenues.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

The Company reported cash flows from operations of $71 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $108 million from the prior year. The increase was caused primarily by lower revenue which generated a higher release of working capital resulting in stronger cash flows and a significant increase in accrued liabilities, which included the previously announced $35 million deferral of the Honeywell Reimbursement Agreement payment as well as the $6 million Trademark License Agreement payment. The Company anticipates an increase in working capital and a decline in accrued liabilities in the third quarter as improvement in business activity continues.

Resideo and Honeywell have agreed to further defer, until October 30, 2020, the $35 million Reimbursement Agreement payment initially due April 30, 2020. On July 30, 2020 the Company paid the $6 million Trademark License Agreement payment deferred in the second quarter and made its regularly scheduled Reimbursement Agreement payment due to Honeywell. Resideo remains in ongoing dialogue with Honeywell regarding its overall relationship.

Financial and Operational Review Update

During the second quarter, Resideo made additional progress on its previously announced Financial and Operational review ("F&O"). The Company expects to realize net benefits of approximately $30 million to $40 million in 2020, the majority of which will be realized in the second half of 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share, and other financial measures not compliant with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted for certain items above and may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other companies in our industry, as other companies may define such measures differently. Management believes that, when considered together with reported amounts, these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends and provide useful additional information relating to our operations and financial condition. These metrics should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most comparable GAAP measure. Refer to the tables above in this release for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income and Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share are important indicators of operating performance. They should be read in connection with our financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted net income was previously presented as Adjusted net income excluding Honeywell reimbursement agreement payments (Non-GAAP). Basic adjusted earnings per share (Non-GAAP) and Diluted adjusted earnings per share (Non-GAAP) were previously reduced by the impact of assumed cash payments related to the Honeywell reimbursement agreement. Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP) was previously presented as Adjusted EBITDA excluding Honeywell reimbursement agreement payments (Non-GAAP). The change in presentation was made to more accurately reflect the underlying performance indicators of the business in Adjusted net income and Adjusted EBITDA. The Honeywell reimbursement agreement cash payments are a liquidity measure and will be included within the cash flow and liquidity discussions. Management believes that this presentation more clearly presents underlying operations as the amounts related to the Honeywell reimbursement agreement are recorded in net income are based on when such amounts become probable and reasonably estimable, which will not align with the significant variability in the timing of when the actual cash payment is made.
