WATSCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2021

(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”) w a s 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, 2021 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 disclosu r es 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 2020 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, the accounts of Carrier InterAmerica Corporation, of which we have an 80% controlling interest and Carrier has a 20% non-controlling interest, and our 38.1% investment in Russell Sigler, Inc. (“RSI”), 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, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. 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.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

Since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic in March 2020, it has impacted our operations and the operations of our customers and suppliers. Although we learned to navigate COVID-19 while maintaining our operations in all material respects, the pandemic continued to impact our business and operating results throughout 2020. However, as economic activity has been recovering, the impact of the pandemic on our business has been more reflective of greater economic and marketplace dynamics, which include supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, rather than pandemic-related issues such as location closures, mandated restrictions and employee illness. Notwithstanding the recent resurgence of economic activity, in light of variant strains of the virus that have emerged, the COVID-19 pandemic could once again impact our operations and the operations of our customers and suppliers as a result of quarantines, location closures, illnesses, and travel restrictions. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the resumption of high levels of infection and hospitalization, new variants of the virus, the resulting impact on our employees, customers, suppliers, and vendors, and the remedial actions and any stimulus measures adopted by federal, state, and local governments, and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions are impacted . Therefore, we cannot reasonably

estimate the future impact at this time .

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, 2021 and 2020, our outstanding Class B common stock was convertible into 2,569,236 and 2,575,482 shares of our

Common stock, respectively.

Acme Refrigeration of Baton Rouge LLC

On May 7, 2021, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Acme Refrigeration of Baton Rouge LLC, a distributor of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration products, operating from 18 locations in Louisiana and Mississippi, for $22,855 less certain average revolving indebtedness. Consideration for the net purchase price consisted of $18,051 in cash, 8,492 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $2,551, and $3,141 for repayment of indebtedness, net of cash acquired of $1,340.

Temperature Equipment Corporation

On April 9, 2021, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities comprising the HVAC distribution business of Temperature Equipment Corporation, an HVAC distributor operating from 32 locations in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri and Wisconsin. We formed a new, stand-alone joint venture with Carrier, TEC Distribution LLC (“TEC”), that operate s this business. We have an 80% controlling interest in TEC , and Carrier has a 20% non-controlling interest. Consideration for the purchase was paid in cash, consisting of $105,200 paid to Temperature Equipment Corporation (Carrier contributed $21,040

and w e contributed $ 84,160) and $ 1,497 for repayment o

f

indebtedness.

The preliminary purchase

price resulted in the recognition of $ 37,282 in goodwill and intangibles. The fair value of the identified intangible assets was $ 19,900 and consisted of $ 15,700 in trade names and distribution rights, and $ 4,200 in customer relationships to be amortized over an

18-year

period. The tax basis of such goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes over 15 years.

The

table below presents the allocation of the total consideration to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the acquisition of our 80 %

controlling interest in TEC based on their respective preliminary fair values as of April 9, 2021:

Accounts receivable $ 33,315
Inventories 71,395
Other current assets 962
Property and equipment 2,590
Operating lease <br>right-of-use<br> assets 53,829
Goodwill 17,382
Intangibles 19,900
Accounts payable (25,393 )
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities (19,237 )
Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion (48,046 )
Total $ 106,697

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 these acquisitions were not deemed significant to the consolidated financial statements.

6. 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. At June 30, 2021, no foreign currency forward contracts were designated as cash flow hedges.

The impact from foreign exchange derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges was as follows:

Quarter Ended<br> June 30, Six Months Ended<br> June 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020
(Loss) gain recorded in accumulated other comprehensive los<br>s $ (6 ) $ (1,606 ) $ 97 $ 1,867
(Gain) loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings $ (28 ) $ (406 ) $ 305 $ (249 )

At June 30, 2021, no pre-tax gain (loss) is expected to be reclassified into earnings related to foreign exchange hedging within the next 12 months.

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 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. We had only one foreign currency exchange contract not designated as a hedging instrument at June 30, 2021, the total notional value of which was $5,000, and such contract subsequently expired in July 2021.

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

Fair Value Measurements<br> at June 30, 2021 Using
Balance Sheet Location Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Assets:
Equity securities Other assets $ 1,579 $ 1,579 $ — $ —

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:

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.

Derivative financial instruments – these derivatives are foreign currency forward and option contracts. See Note 6. 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.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized a realized gain of $3,815 recorded in our condensed consolidated unaudited statement of income attributable to the sale of certain equity securities.

8. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock Dividends

We paid cash dividends of $1.95, $1.775, $3.725, and $3.375 per share of both Common stock and Class B common stock during the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021, 2,965 shares of Common stock with an aggregate fair market value of $863 were withheld as payment in lieu of cash for stock option exercises. These shares were retired upon delivery. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2020, 4,873 shares of Common stock with an aggregate fair market value of $853 were withheld as payment in lieu of cash for stock option exercises. These shares were retired upon delivery.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we received net proceeds of $841 and $828, respectively, for shares of our Common stock purchased under our employee stock purchase plan.

9. 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 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 $7,478 and $5,404 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, were established related to such programs and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Purchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 72% and 63% of all inventory purchases made during the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Purchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 67% and 60% of all inventory purchases made during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. At June 30, 2021 a nd December 31, 2020, approximately $150,000 and $81,000, 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, 2021 and 2020 included approximately $33,000, $33,000, $56,000, and $55,000, 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, 2021 and 2020, fees to this firm for services performed were $32, $0, $98 and $0, respectively. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $1 and $8, respectively, was payable to this firm.

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, 2021, we operated from 655 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.

15 of 24

Table of Contents

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.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

For certain periods of the COVID-19 pandemic thus far, some U.S. states had been under executive orders requiring that all workers remain at home unless their work was critical, essential, or life-sustaining. We believe that, based on the various standards published to date, the work our employees perform is essential, and as such we continued to operate with certain modifications during these periods.

Although we have learned to navigate COVID-19 while maintaining our operations in all material respects, the pandemic continued to impact our business and operating results throughout 2020. Some of our locations experienced short-term closures for COVID-19 employee health concerns or operated at a diminished capacity, which negatively impacted our business during March and April of 2020. At the end of the second quarter of 2020, many of the markets in which we operate had begun to ease the COVID-19 restrictions that had been in place earlier in the period. However, during the second half of 2020, viral infections began to increase, resulting in the resumption of restrictions in certain markets in which we operate, which negatively impacted our operations.

During this period, we took steps to safeguard the health of our employees and customers. This included creating additional space between work areas, providing personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies, establishing policies for mitigation in the event of cases of illness, utilizing technologies where work duties enable working from home, and instituting contactless sales and servicing capabilities at many of our locations. As of the date of this filing, all of our locations are operating, and, due to these precautions, have been functioning effectively, including our internal controls over financial reporting.

In response to the pandemic, we implemented plans intended to preserve adequate liquidity and ensure that our business continued to operate during this uncertain time. In addition, we took actions to reduce costs, including reductions in compensation, rent abatement, changes to vendor terms and other austerity measures to curtail discretionary spending in light of the circumstances in 2020.

However, as economic activity has been recovering, the impact of the pandemic on our business has been more reflective of greater economic and marketplace dynamics, which include supply chain disruptions and labor shortages, rather than pandemic-related issues such as location closures, mandated restrictions and employee illness. As restrictions have eased and normal economic conditions have largely resumed, our various austerity measures to curtail discretionary spending have eased. During these uncertain times, we believe that our scale, our currently low debt level, conservative leverage ratio, and our historical ability to generate cash flow positions us well as we work through the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Notwithstanding the recent resurgence of economic activity, in light of variant strains of the virus and the continued high rate of viral infections that exists as of the date of this filing, there remains significant uncertainty concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition and results of operations will continue to depend on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the pandemic, its impact on our employees, customers and suppliers, the extent to which normal economic and operating conditions are impacted, and whether the pandemic exacerbates the risks disclosed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. We intend to continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders.

Joint Ventures with Carrier Global Corporation

In 2009, we formed a joint venture with 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. The export division, Carrier InterAmerica Corporation, redomesticated from the U.S. Virgin Islands to Delaware effective December 31, 2019, following which Carrier InterAmerica Corporation became a separate operating entity in which we have an 80% controlling interest and Carrier has a 20% non-controlling interest. On August 1, 2019, Carrier Enterprise I acquired substantially all of the HVAC assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of Peirce-Phelps, Inc., an HVAC distributor operating from 19 locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.

Table of Contents

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 own 100% of Homans. Homans previously operated as a division of Carrier Enterprise II and now operates as one of our stand-alone, wholly owned subsidiaries.

In 2012, we formed a third joint venture with Carrier, which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise III. 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 Carrier has a 40% non-controlling interest.

On April 9, 2021, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities comprising the HVAC distribution business of Temperature Equipment Corporation, an HVAC distributor operating from 32 locations in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri and Wisconsin. We formed a new, stand-alone joint venture with Carrier, TEC Distribution LLC (“TEC”), that operates this business. We have an 80% controlling interest in TEC, and Carrier has a 20% 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 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 policies are included in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021. We believe that there have been no significant changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The following narratives reflect our acquisitions of Acme Refrigeration of Baton Rouge LLC (“ACME”) in May 2021, and TEC in April 2021.

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, 2021 and 2020, one and three locations, respectively, that we opened were near existing locations and were therefore included in “same-store basis” information.

Second Quarter of 2021 Compared to Second Quarter of 2020

Revenues

Revenues for the second quarter of 2021 increased $494.3 million, or 36%, including $104.8 million attributable to the new locations acquired and $1.9 million from other locations opened during the preceding 12 months, offset by $1.3 million from locations closed. Sales of HVAC equipment (71% of sales) increased 35%, sales of other HVAC products (26% of sales) increased 33% and sales of commercial refrigeration products (3% of sales) increased 45%. On a same-store basis, revenues increased $388.9 million, or 29%, as compared to the same period in 2020, reflecting a 29% increase in sales of HVAC equipment (71% of sales), which included a 28% increase in sales of residential HVAC equipment (27% increase in U.S. markets) and a 32% increase in sales of commercial HVAC equipment, a 25% increase in sales of other HVAC products (26% of sales) and a 45% increase in sales of commercial refrigeration products (3% of sales). For HVAC equipment, the increase in revenues was primarily due to strong demand for residential HVAC equipment, the 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 15% increase in volume and a 12% increase in the average selling price, as well as higher sales of commercial HVAC equipment.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 increased $158.7 million, or 50%, primarily as a result of increased revenues. Gross profit margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 improved 220 basis-points to 25.8% versus 23.6% for the same period in 2020, primarily due to the impact of pricing and mix for HVAC equipment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2021 increased $72.6 million, or 37%, primarily due to increased revenues and newly acquired locations. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues for the second quarter of 2021 increased to 14.4% versus 14.3% for the same period in 2020. On a same-store basis, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 28% as compared to the same period in 2020, primarily due to increased performance-based compensation costs commensurate with the increase in revenue and profitability in 2021 and easing of short-term austerity measures taken during the second quarter of 2020 to reduce costs and curtail discretionary spending in response to the pandemic.

Other Income

Other income of $5.5 million and $4.1 million for the second quarters of 2021 and 2020, respectively, represents our share of the net income of Russell Sigler, Inc. (“RSI”).

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net for the second quarter of 2021 increased $0.2 million, or 58%, primarily as a result of an increase in average outstanding borrowings and a higher effective interest rate, in each case under our revolving credit facility, as compared to the same period in 2020.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased to $44.2 million for the second quarter of 2021, as compared to $24.7 million for the second quarter of 2020 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 23.4% and 22.1% for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher state income taxes and proportionately higher income in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to tax credits and share-based compensation deductions in the second quarter of 2020.

Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.

Net income attributable to Watsco, Inc. for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 increased $57.5 million, or 66%, compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues and expanded profit margins, partially offset by higher income taxes and an increase in the net income attributable to the non-controlling interest.

First Half of 2021 Compared to First Half of 2020

Revenues

Revenues for the first half of 2021 increased $622.2 million, or 26%, including $104.8 million attributable to the new locations acquired and $3.2 million from other locations opened during the preceding 12 months, offset by $3.0 million from locations closed. Sales of HVAC equipment (69% of sales) increased 27%, sales of other HVAC products (28% of sales) increased 23%, and sales of commercial refrigeration products (3% of sales) increased 28%. On a same-store basis, revenues increased $517.2 million, or 22%, as compared to the same period in 2020, reflecting a 23% increase in sales of HVAC equipment (69% of sales), which included a 24% increase in sales of residential HVAC equipment (23% increase in U.S. markets) and a 16% increase in sales of commercial HVAC equipment, a 19% increase in sales of other HVAC products (27% of sales) and a 28% increase in commercial refrigeration products (4% of sales). For HVAC equipment, the increase in revenues was primarily due to strong demand for residential HVAC equipment, the 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 15% increase in volume and an 8% increase in the average selling price, as well as higher sales of commercial HVAC equipment.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the first half of 2021 increased $205.9 million, or 36%, primarily as a result of increased revenues. Gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2021 improved 190 basis-points to 25.9% versus 24.0% for the same period in 2020, due to the impact of pricing and mix for HVAC equipment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first half of 2021 increased $86.9 million, or 22%, primarily due to increased revenues. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased to 16.2% versus 16.8% for the same period in 2020 primarily due to increased leverage on fixed costs driven by increased revenues and actions taken to improve operating efficiencies. On a same-store basis, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 17% as compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to increased performance-based compensation costs commensurate with increased revenues and profitability.

Other Income

Other income of $10.2 million and $5.1 million for the first half of 2021 and 2020, respectively, represents our share of the net income of RSI.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net for the first half of 2021 decreased $0.5 million, or 50%, primarily as a result of a decrease in average outstanding borrowings and a lower effective interest rate, in each case under our revolving credit facility, as compared to the same period in 2020.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased to $59.9 million for the first half of 2021, as compared to $32.9 million for the first half of 2020 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 23.0% and 21.8% for the first half of 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher state income taxes and proportionately higher income in 2021 as compared to tax credits and share-based compensation deductions in 2020.

Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.

Net income attributable to Watsco, Inc. for the first half of 2021 increased $82.1 million, or 70%, compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues and expanded profit margins, partially offset by higher income taxes and an increase in the net income attributable to the non-controlling interest.

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, 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, 2021, we had $96.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $80.6 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, and funds available for borrowing under our revolving credit agreement are 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 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 after December 31, 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 which may exceed what would have been the comparable LIBOR rate. Additionally, disruptions in the credit and capital markets could also result in increased borrowing costs and/or reduced borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreement.

Working Capital

Working capital increased to $1,206.8 million at June 30, 2021, reflecting 50 new locations added by acquisitions in 2021, which in aggregate added $105.2 million of working capital. Excluding these new locations, working capital increased 10% to $1,101.6 million at June 30, 2021 from $997.3 million at December 31, 2020, primarily due to higher accounts receivable consistent with overall increased sales, the seasonality of our business, and higher levels of inventory in support of stronger business conditions.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in millions):

2021 2020 Change
Cash flows provided by operating activities $ 81.9 $ 261.3 $ (179.4 )
Cash flows used in investing activities $ (131.5 ) $ (8.0 ) $ (123.5 )
Cash flows used in financing activities $ (1.0 ) $ (247.3 ) $ 246.3

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 higher accounts receivable driven by increased sales and higher levels of inventory in support of strong business conditions in 2021 as compared to 2020.

Table of Contents

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was higher primarily due to cash consideration paid for the acquisitions of TEC and ACME.

Financing Activities

The decrease in net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to increased uses of cash and borrowings to fund working capital and acquisitions in 2021 versus 2020 (funded by our revolving credit agreement) and offset by $21.0 million in proceeds from the non-controlling interest for its contribution to the acquisition of TEC in 2021 and an increase in dividends paid in 2021.

Revolving Credit Agreement

We maintain an unsecured, 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. On April 10, 2020, we increased the aggregate borrowing capacity of our revolving credit agreement from $500.0 million to $560.0 million. The credit facility has a seasonal component from October 1 to March 31, during which the borrowing capacity may be reduced to $460.0 million at our discretion (which effectively reduces fees payable in respect of the unused portion of the commitment), and we effected this reduction in 2020. 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 June 30, 2021 $114.2 million was outstanding under the revolving credit agreement. At December 31, 2020 there was no outstanding balance 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, 2021.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entity

Carrier Enterprise I has a 38.1% ownership interest in RSI, an HVAC distributor operating from 30 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. 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 June 30, 2021, the estimated purchase amount we would be contingently liable for was approximately $299.0 million. We believe that our operating cash flows, cash on hand, and funds available for borrowing under our revolving credit agreement would be sufficient to purchase any additional ownership interests in RSI.

Acquisitions

On May 7, 2021, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of ACME, a distributor of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration products, operating from 18 locations in Louisiana and Mississippi, for $22.9 million less certain average revolving indebtedness. Consideration for the net purchase price consisted of $18.1 million in cash, 8,492 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $2.6 million, and $3.1 million repayment of indebtedness, net of cash acquired of $1.3 million.

On April 9, 2021, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities comprising the HVAC distribution business of Temperature Equipment Corporation, an HVAC distributor operating from 32 locations in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri and Wisconsin. We formed a new, stand-alone joint venture with Carrier, TEC, that operates this business. We have an 80% controlling interest in TEC, and Carrier has a 20% non-controlling interest. Consideration for the purchase was paid in cash, consisting of $105.2 million paid to Temperature Equipment Corporation (Carrier contributed $21.0 million and we contributed $84.2 million) and $1.5 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 $3.725 and $3.375 per share of Common stock and Class B common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. On July 1, 2021, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $1.95 per share of both Common and Class B common stock that was paid on July 30, 2021 to shareholders of record as of July 15, 2021. 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 June 30, 2021, there were 1,129,087 shares remaining authorized for repurchase under the program.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes to the information regarding market risk provided in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

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, 2021 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 ACME or TEC, which collectively represented approximately 8% of our total consolidated assets at June 30, 2021 and approximately 4% of our consolidated revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. From the respective acquisition dates of May 7, 2021 and April 9, 2021 to June 30, 2021, the processes and systems of ACME and TEC did not impact the internal controls over financial reporting for our other consolidated subsidiaries.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Information with respect to this item may be found in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the caption “Litigation, Claims and Assessments,” which information is incorporated by reference in this Item 1 of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Information about risk factors for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 does not differ materially from that set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

On May 7, 2021, we issued 8,492 shares of unregistered Common stock in connection with an asset purchase agreement to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of ACME. See Note 5 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof. ACME represented to the Company that it was an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and that it was acquiring the shares for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act.
