WATSCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2019
(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 September 30, 2019 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 2018 Annual Report on Form
10-K.
The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements contained in this report include the accounts of Watsco, all of its wholly owned subsidiaries and the accounts of three joint ventures with Carrier Corporation (“Carrier”), in each of which Watsco maintains a controlling interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment, and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns, primarily 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 fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction market is generally evenly distributed throughout the year, subject to weather and economic conditions, including their effect on the number of housing completions.
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, inventories and income taxes, reserves related to loss contingencies and the valuation of goodwill, indefinite
-
lived intangible assets and long-lived intangible assets. While we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from such estimates. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Leases
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on accounting for leases, which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets for the rights and obligations created by those leases. In July 2018, the FASB issued updated guidance that provides an additional transition method of adoption that allows entities to initially apply the standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The adoption of this standard and its related amendments (collectively, the “New Lease Standard”) on January 1, 2019 did not result in the recognition of a cumulative adjustment to opening retained earnings under the additional transition method, nor did it have a significant impact on our consolidated statements of income or cash flows. See Note 2.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Intangibles—Goodwill and Other
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this updated standard, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, but the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity also should consider income tax effects from any
tax-deductible
goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if any. This guidance is effective prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.9 of 26

LEASES |
Adoption of New Lease Standard
We adopted the New Lease Standard on January 1, 2019 using the additional transition method described in Note 1 to these condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements. Results for reporting periods beginning on and after January 1, 2019 are presented under the New Lease Standard. Prior periods have not been restated. The New Lease Standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of
right-of-use
(“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while accounting for finance leases remained substantially unchanged.Practical Expedients
We elected the package of practical expedients
that
did not require us to reassess (1) whether existing contracts contain embedded leases, (2) the lease classification of existing leases, and (3) whether initial direct costs for existing leases would qualify for capitalization under the New Lease Standard. We also elected the practical expedients related to short-term leases and separating lease components from non-lease
components for all underlying asset classes.Operating and Finance Leases
We have operating leases for real property, vehicles and equipment, and finance leases primarily for vehicles. Operating leases are included in operating lease 2,960 are included in property and equipment, net in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheet. Finance lease liabilities at September 30, 2019 of $3,047 are included in current portion of
right-of-use
assets, current portion of long-term obligations, and operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. Finance leases are not considered significant to our consolidated balance sheet or consolidated statement of income. Finance lease ROU assets at September 30, 2019 of $other
long-term obligations and other long-term obligations, net of current portion in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheet.ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement dates of the respective leases in determining the present value of the applicable lease payments.
Operating lease ROU assets also include any lease expensed as incurred. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 -10 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years . The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion, and our lease ROU assets and liabilities reflect only the options we are reasonably certain that we will exercise. Certain real property lease agreements have lease and
pre-payments
made and exclude lease incentives. Certain of our leases include variable payments, which are excluded from lease ROU assets and lease liabilities andnon-lease
components, which are generally accounted for as a single lease component. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease payments for short-term leases, which are 12 months or less without a purchase option that is likely to be exercised, are recognized as lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term.The components of operating lease expense were as follows:

PURCHASE OF OWNERSHIP INTEREST FROM JOINT VENTURE |
Effective May 31, 2019, we purchased an additional 20 % ownership interest in Homans Associates II LLC (“Homans”) from Carrier Enterprise Northeast, LLC (“Carrier Enterprise II”) for cash consideration of $32,400 , which increased our ownership in Homans to 100 %. Homans previously operated as a division of Carrier Enterprise II and subsequent to the purchase operates as a stand-alone subsidiary of the Company with 16 locations in the Northeastern U.S.

Effective June 29, 2018, Carrier Enterprise I acquired an additional 1.4 % ownership interest in RSI, which increased Carrier

re with Carrier, Carrier Enterprise, LLC, which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise I, acquired a non-controlling
interest. Carrier Enterprise I acquired its ownership interest in RSI for cash consideration of $Enterprise I’s ownership interest in RSI to 36.3 % for cash consideration of $3,760 that was paid on July 5, 2018, of which we contributed $3,008 and Carrier contributed $752 . Effective April 22, 2019, Carrier Enterprise I acquired an additional 1.8 % ownership interest in RSI for cash consideration of $4,940 , of which we contributed $3,952 and Carrier contributed $988 . This acquisition increased Carrier Enterprise I’s ownership interest in RSI to 38.1 %.
Carrier Enterprise I is a party to a
shareholders’
agreement (the “Shareholders
’
Agreement”) with RSI and its shareholders. Pursuant to the Shareholders
’
Agreement, RSI’s 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 either book value or a multiple of EBIT, the latter of which Carrier Enterprise I used to calculate the price paid for its investment in RSI. RSI’s 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
% or more of RSI’s outstanding common stock, it has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from RSI’s shareholders the remaining outstanding shares of RSI common stock. Additionally, Carrier Enterprise I has the right to appoint two of RSI’s six board members. Given Carrier Enterprise I’s
% voting equity interest in RSI and its right to appoint
out of RSI’s
board members, this investment in RSI is accounted for under the equity method.

ACQUISITION S |
On April 2, 2019, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Dunphey & Associates Supply Co., Inc., a distributor of air conditioning and heating products operating from seven locations in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. The purchase price was composed of cash consideration of $16,781 and the issuance of 50,952 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $7,450 .
On August 1, 2019, Carrier Enterprise I acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of Peirce-Phelps, Inc. (“PPI”), an HVAC distributor operating from 19 locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, for $85,000 less certain average revolving indebtedness. Consideration for the net purchase price consisted of $10,000 in cash372,543 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $58,638
,
and the payment of certain average revolving indebtedness
.
Carrier contributed cash of $17,000 to Carrier Enterprise I in connection with the acquisition of PPI.
The preliminary fair value estimate of working capital acquired of approximately $59,000 consists mainly of inventory and accounts receivable partially offset by accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities. We expect to finalize certain procedures related to the opening balance sheet and adjustments to estimates of fair value of net assets acquired by December 31, 2019. Any acquired goodwill as a result of this acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes.
The results of operations of these acquisitions have been included in the consolidated financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The pro forma effect of the
se
acquisitions were not deemed significant to the consolidated financial statements. 9 . |
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.
Cash Flow Hedging Instruments
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges. The settlement of these derivatives results in reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings for the period in which the settlement of these instruments occurs. The maximum period for which we hedge our cash flow using these instruments is 12 months. Accordingly, at September 30, 2019, all our open foreign currency forward contracts had maturities of one year or less . The total notional value of our foreign currency exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges at September 30, 2019 was $40,400 , and such contracts have varying terms expiring through June 2020 .
The impact from foreign exchange derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges was as follows:

to be reclassified into earnings to reflect the fixed prices obtained from foreign exchange hedging within the next 12 months.14 of 26
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We have also 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 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 September 30, 2019 was $12,300 , and such contracts have varying terms expiring through November 2019 .
We recognized 128 and $108 175 and $299 from foreign currency forward and option contracts not designated as hedging instruments in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

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 a number of factors, which include historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors4,022 and $2,311 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, were established related to such programs and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets.
,
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 $1 3 . |

The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, including the notes thereto, included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q.
In addition, reference should be made to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto,
and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2018.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 September 30, 2019, we operated from 603 locations in 38 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, results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns, primarily 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 fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction market is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year and depends largely on housing completions and weather and economic conditions.
Joint Ventures with Carrier Corporation
In 2009, we formed a joint venture with Carrier Corporation (“Carrier”), which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise I, in which Carrier contributed 95 of its company-owned locations in 13 Sun Belt states and Puerto Rico, and its export division in Miami, Florida, and we contributed 15 locations that distributed Carrier products. We have an 80% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise I, and Carrier has a 20%
non-controlling
interest.In 2011, we formed a second joint venture with Carrier, in which Carrier contributed 28 of its company-owned locations in the Northeast U.S., and we contributed 14 locations in the Northeast U.S., and we then purchased Carrier’s distribution operations in Mexico, which included seven locations. Collectively, the Northeast locations and the Mexico operations are referred to as Carrier Enterprise II. We have an 80% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise II, and Carrier has a 20% non-controlling interest. Effective May 31, 2019, we purchased an additional 20% ownership interest in Homans Associates II LLC (“Homans”) from Carrier Enterprise II, following which we owned 100% of Homans. Homans previously operated as a division of Carrier Enterprise II and now operates as one of our stand-alone-subsidiaries.
In 2012, we formed a third joint venture, which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise III, with UTC Canada Corporation, referred to as UTC Canada, an affiliate of Carrier. Carrier contributed 35 of its company-owned locations in Canada to Carrier Enterprise III. We have a 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise III, and UTC Canada has a 40%
non-controlling
interest.Critical Accounting Policies
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 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 policies are included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form
10-K,
as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2019. We believe that there have been no significant changes during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2018.New Accounting Standards

The following narratives reflect our acquisition of the HVAC distribution business of Peirce-Phelps, Inc. (“PPI”) in August 2019, Dunphey & Associates Supply Co., Inc. (“DASCO”) in April 2019, Alert Labs Inc. (“Alert Labs”) in August 2018, and our acquisition of an HVAC distributor in November 2018 as well as the purchase of additional 1.8% and 1.4% ownership interests in Russell Sigler, Inc. (“RSI”) in April 2019 and June 2018, respectively, and the purchase of an additional 20% ownership interest in Homans effective May 31, 2019.
In the following narratives, computations and other information referring to “same-store basis” exclude the effects of locations closed, acquired, or locations opened, unless they are within close geographical proximity to existing locations, during the immediately preceding 12 months. At September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, 10 and 8 locations opened 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 September 30, 2019:

Third Quarter of 2019 Compared to Third Quarter of 2018
Revenues
Revenues for the third quarter of 2019 increased $98.9 million, or 8%, including $58.7 million from locations opened and acquired during the preceding 12 months, offset by $4.2 million from locations closed. Sales of HVAC equipment (68% of sales) increased 8%, sales of other HVAC products (29% of sales) increased 11% and sales of commercial refrigeration products (3% of sales) increased 1%. On a same-store basis, revenues increased $44.4 million, or 3%, as compared to the same period in 2018, reflecting a 4% increase in sales of HVAC equipment (69% of sales), which included a 6% increase in residential HVAC equipment, a 2% increase in sales of other HVAC products (27% of sales) and 1% increase of commercial refrigeration products (4% of sales). For residential HVAC equipment, the increase in revenues was primarily due to strong demand for the replacement of residential HVAC equipment, realization of price increases and a higher mix of high-efficiency air conditioning and heating systems, which sell at higher unit prices, resulting in a 4% increase in volume and a 2% increase in the average selling price.
19 of 26
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2019 increased $15.7 million, or 5%, primarily as a result of increased revenues. Gross profit margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 declined 60 basis-points to 24.0% versus 24.6% for the same period in 2018, primarily due to the benefit of
mid-year
pricing actions taken by our HVAC equipment suppliers in 2018, which did not recur in 2019.Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2019 increased $12.5 million, or 6%, primarily due to increased revenues. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 decreased to 15.3% versus 15.5% for the same period in 2018. Selling, general and administrative expenses included $1.5 million of additional costs for 2019 in excess of 2018 for ongoing technology initiatives, driven in part by our acquisition of Alert Labs in August 2018. On a same-store basis, selling, general and administrative expenses were flat as compared to the same period in 2018.
Other Income
Other income of $3.5 million and $3.7 million for the third quarters of 2019 and 2018, respectively, represented our share of the net income of RSI.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net for the third quarter of 2019 increased $0.4 million, or 37%, primarily as a result of increase in average outstanding borrowings, partially offset by a lower effective interest rate due to higher interest income for the 2019 period, as compared to the same period in 2018.
Income Taxes
Income taxes decreased to $24.2 million for the third quarter of 2019, as compared to $24.4 million for the third quarter of 2018, and represent a composite of the income taxes attributable to our wholly owned operations and income taxes attributable to the Carrier joint ventures, 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 effective income tax rates attributable to us were 22.2% and 23.3% for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the refinement of estimated global intangible
low-taxed
income (“GILTI”) of foreign subsidiaries in the third quarter of 2019 due to the finalization of federal and state income tax regulations.Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.
Net income attributable to Watsco for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 increased $4.3 million, or 5%, compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues and gross profit, reduced selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues and a decrease in net income attributable to the
non-controlling
interest related to our purchase of the additional 20% interest in Homans.Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Revenues
Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $142.7 million, or 4%, including $85.6 million from locations opened and acquired during the preceding 12 months, offset by $10.4 million from locations closed. Sales of HVAC equipment (68% of sales) increased 8%, sales of other HVAC products (28% of sales) increased 3% and sales of commercial refrigeration products (4% of sales) decreased 1%. On a same-store basis, revenues increased $67.5 million, or 2%, as compared to the same period in 2018, reflecting a 3% increase in sales of HVAC equipment (68% of sales), which included a 4% increase in residential HVAC equipment, a 1% decrease in sales of other HVAC products (28% of sales) and a 1% decrease in commercial refrigeration products (4% of sales). For residential HVAC equipment, the increase in same-store revenues was primarily due to realization of price increases and a higher mix of high-efficiency air conditioning and heating systems, which sell at higher unit prices, and demand for the replacement of residential HVAC equipment, resulting in a 2% increase in the average selling price and a 2% increase in volume.
20 of 26
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $25.8 million, or 3%, primarily as a result of increased revenues. Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 declined 30 basis-points to 24.2% versus 24.5% for the same period in 2018, primarily due to the benefit of
mid-year
pricing actions taken by our HVAC equipment suppliers in 2018, which did not recur in 2019.Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $24.0 million, or 4%, primarily due to increased revenues. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues remained consistent at 15.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. Selling, general and administrative expenses included $4.3 million of additional costs for 2019 in excess of 2018 for ongoing technology initiatives, driven in part by our acquisition of Alert Labs in August 2018. On a same-store basis, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 1% as compared to the same period in 2018.
Other Income
Other income of $7.9 million and $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, represented our share of the net income of RSI.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $1.0 million, or 44%, primarily as a result of an increase in average outstanding borrowings, partially offset by a lower effective interest rate due to higher interest income for the 2019 period, as compared to the same period in 2018.
Income Taxes
Income taxes decreased to $60.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $63.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, and represent a composite of the income taxes attributable to our wholly owned operations and income taxes attributable to the Carrier joint ventures, 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 effective income tax rates attributable to us were 22.1% and 23.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to lower estimated foreign withholding taxes and the refinement of estimated GILTI of foreign subsidiaries in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to the finalization of federal and state income tax regulations.
Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.
Net income attributable to Watsco for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 increased $5.3 million, or 3%, compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues and gross profit, a reduction in income taxes, and a decrease in net income attributable to the
non-controlling
interest related to our purchase of the additional 20% interest in Homans, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expense as discussed above.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. |
21 of 26
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, 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 September 30, 2019, we had $60.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $43.9 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 or other restrictions.
We believe that our operating cash flows, cash on hand, and funds available for borrowing under our revolving credit agreement are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs in 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 LIBOR, which is one of the base rates under our revolving credit agreement. LIBOR is the subject of recent proposals for reform that currently provide for the
phase-out
of LIBOR by 2021. The consequences of these developments with respect to LIBOR cannot be entirely predicted but could result in an increase in the cost of our debt, as it is currently anticipated that lenders will replace LIBOR with an alternative rate that may exceed what would have been the comparable LIBOR rate. Disruptions in the credit and capital markets, including the expected transition from LIBOR, could also result in increased borrowing costs and/or reduced borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreement.Working Capital
Working capital increased to $1,148.5 million at September 30, 2019 from $1,084.2 million at December 31, 2018, reflecting higher levels of accounts receivable and inventories, primarily due to new locations opened and acquired, as well as additional inventory acquired in anticipation of the transition to new energy conservation standards for residential furnace fans that became effective on July 3, 2019. These increases were partially offset by the timing of accounts payable and accrued liabilities as well as the current portion of lease liabilities recognized as current liabilities as a result of the adoption of the New Lease Standard on January 1, 2019.

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 increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the comparative timing of payments for accrued expenses and other current liabilities in 2019 versus 2018.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was higher primarily due to cash consideration paid for those acquisitions described above.
Financing Activities
The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to lower net proceeds under our revolving credit agreement, the purchase of an additional 20% ownership interest in Homans for $32.4 million and an increase in dividends paid, partially offset by $17.0 million in proceeds from the
non-controlling
interest for their contribution to the acquisition of the HVAC distribution business of PPI in 2019.22 of 26
Revolving Credit Agreement
We maintain an unsecured, $500.0 million syndicated multicurrency revolving credit agreement, which we use to fund 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 credit facility has a seasonal component from October 1 to March 31, during which the borrowing capacity was reduced to $400.0 million at our discretion. Included in the credit facility are a $100.0 million swingline subfacility, a $10.0 million letter of credit subfacility, a $75.0 million alternative currency borrowing sublimit and an $8.0 million Mexican borrowing sublimit. The credit agreement matures on December 5, 2023.
At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $169.3 million and $135.2 million, respectively, were 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 September 30, 2019.
Purchase of Additional Ownership Interest from Joint Venture
Effective May 31, 2019, we purchased an additional 20% ownership interest in Homans from Carrier Enterprise II for cash consideration of $32.4 million, which increased our ownership in Homans to 100%. Homans previously operated as a division of Carrier Enterprise II and subsequent to the purchase operates as a stand-alone subsidiary of the Company with 16 locations in the Northeastern U.S.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entity
On June 21, 2017, Carrier Enterprise I acquired a 34.9% ownership interest in RSI, an HVAC distributor operating from 30 locations in the Western U.S. for cash consideration of $63.6 million, of which we contributed $50.9 million, and Carrier contributed $12.7 million. Effective June 29, 2018, Carrier Enterprise I acquired an additional 1.4% ownership interest in RSI, which increased Carrier Enterprise I’s ownership interest in RSI to 36.3%. Total cash consideration of $3.8 million was paid on July 5, 2018, of which we contributed $3.0 million and Carrier contributed $0.8 million. Effective April 22, 2019, Carrier Enterprise I acquired an additional 1.8% ownership interest in RSI, which increased Carrier Enterprise I’s ownership interest in RSI to 38.1% for cash consideration of $4.9 million, of which we contributed $3.9 million and Carrier contributed $1.0 million.
Carrier Enterprise I is a party to a shareholders’ agreement (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”) with RSI and its shareholders. Pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement, RSI’s 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 either book value or a multiple of EBIT, the latter of which Carrier Enterprise I used to calculate the price paid for its investment in RSI. RSI’s 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 RSI’s shareholders the remaining outstanding shares of RSI common stock. At September 30, 2019, the estimated purchase amount we would be contingently liable for was approximately $131.0 million. We believe that our operating cash flows, cash on hand, and funds available for borrowing under our revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to purchase any additional ownership interests in RSI.
Acquisitions
On April 2, 2019, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of DASCO, a distributor of air conditioning and heating products operating from seven locations in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. The purchase price was composed of cash consideration of $16.8 million and the issuance of 50,952 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $7.5 million.
On August 1, 2019, Carrier Enterprise I acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of PPI, an HVAC distributor operating from 19 locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, for $85 million less certain average revolving indebtedness. Consideration for the net purchase price consisted of $10.0 million in cash, 372,543 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $58.6 million and the payment of certain average revolving indebtedness. Carrier contributed cash of $17.0 million to Carrier Enterprise I in connection with the acquisition of PPI. The preliminary fair value estimate of working capital acquired of approximately $59.0 million consists mainly of inventory and accounts receivable partially offset by accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities. We expect to finalize certain procedures related to the opening balance sheet and adjustments to estimates of fair value of net assets acquired by December 31, 2019. Any acquired goodwill as a result of this acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes.
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.
23 of 26
Common Stock Dividends
We paid cash dividends of $4.80 and $4.15 per share of Common stock and Class B common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. On October 1, 2019, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $1.60 per share of both Common and Class B common stock that was paid on October 31, 2019 to shareholders of record as of October 15, 2019. Future dividends and/or 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 September 30, 2019, there were 1,129,087 shares remaining authorized for repurchase under the program.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |

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 September 30, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, we have not yet assessed the internal control over financial reporting of PPI or DASCO, which collectively represented approximately 6% of our total consolidated assets at September 30, 2019 and approximately 2% of our consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. From the respective acquisition dates of August 1, 2019 and April 2, 2019 to September 30, 2019, the processes and systems of PPI and DASCO did not impact the internal controls over financial reporting for our other consolidated subsidiaries.PART II.
