NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2025

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Consolidation

Watsco, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Watsco,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated in Florida in 1956 and is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry in North America. The accompanying June 30, 2025 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 2024 Annual Report on Form

10-K.

The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include (i) the accounts of Watsco and its wholly owned subsidiaries, (ii) the accounts of five U.S. joint ventures and their subsidiaries with Carrier Global Corporation, which we refer to as Carrier, in which we have an 80% controlling interest and Carrier has a

non-controlling

interest, (iii) the accounts of a Canadian joint venture with Carrier, in which we have a

% controlling interest and Carrier has a

non-controlling

interest, and (iv) a 38.4% investment in Russell Sigler, Inc. (“RSI”), owned by one of the Carrier joint ventures that 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, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. 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 new construction 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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that enhances annual income tax disclosures primarily by disaggregating the existing disclosures related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. Under the new guidance, an entity will be required to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. An entity will also be required to disclose the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign, and by individual jurisdictions equal to or greater than five percent of total income taxes paid. This guidance is effective prospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The disaggregated income tax disclosures will be included in our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Expense Disaggregation

In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance that requires entities to disclose additional information about certain expenses in the notes to the financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

On February 1, 2024, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries acquired CSI, a distributor of HVAC products with annual sales of approximately $

13,000

, operating from

two

locations in Kentucky and Ohio. Consideration for the purchase consisted of $

6,037

in cash,

1,904

shares of Common stock having a fair value of $

752

, and $

562

for repayment of indebtedness, net of cash acquired of $

1,426

. The purchase price resulted in the recognition of $2,469 in goodwill. The tax basis of such goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes over

years.

The results of operations of these acquisitions have been included in the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The pro forma effect of these acquisitions was not deemed significant to our condensed consolidated unaudited 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.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

We have entered into foreign currency forward and option contracts that are either not designated as hedges or did not qualify for hedge accounting. These derivative instruments were effective economic hedges for all of the periods presented. The fair value gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in earnings as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. We had only one foreign currency exchange contract not designated as a hedging instrument at June 30, 2025, the total notional value of which was $13,200. Such contract expired in July 2025.

We recognized (losses) gains of $(590) and $1,743 from foreign currency forward and option contracts not designated as hedging instruments in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We recognized (losses) gains of $(743) and $1,596 from foreign currency forward and option contracts not designated as hedging instruments in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

7.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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

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.

Private equity securities

– other investments in which fair value inputs are unobservable and are therefore classified within Level 3 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.

Certificates of deposit

– these investments consist of certificates of deposit that had varying maturities through March 2025. We classify these investments within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy because fair value is based on indirectly observable market inputs.

8.	SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

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 several factors, which include historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors, and valuations provided by independent third-party actuaries. Management reviews its

13 of 2

Table of Contents

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 $

5,450

and $

6,247

at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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

% and

% of all inventory purchases made during the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Purchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 62% of all inventory purchases made during both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximately $

333,000

and $

204,000

, 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, 2025 and 2024 included approximately $

6,000

, $

22,000

, $

25,000

, and $

40,000

, 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 a 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, 2025 and 2024, fees for services performed were $

11.	SEGMENT REPORTING

We have one operating and reporting segment: HVAC/R distribution. This sole line of business focuses exclusively on the distribution of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration

equ

ipment and related parts and supplies. Our single reportable segment entity is managed on a consolidated basis, with the CEO serving as the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”). On a monthly basis, the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, as reported in the consolidated statements of income, and uses consolidated operating income and net income to assess performance and allocate resources.

Significant expenses within operating income and net income include cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, which are each separately presented in the consolidated statements of income. Other segment items within net income include interest and income taxes. See Note 2 for revenues disaggregated by geographical regions and major product line.

12.	SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 4, 2025, the Act commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill was signed into law, which includes significant changes to federal tax law and other regulatory provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, modifications to the international tax framework, and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, we are required to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment, such as remeasuring the estimated U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities. While we do not expect any material impacts, we are currently evaluating the provisions of the new law and the potential impacts on our consolidated financial statements. Additional disclosures will be provided in future periods as the impact of the legislation is determined.

Company Overview

Watsco, Inc. was incorporated in Florida in 1956, and, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “Watsco,” the “Company,” 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, 2025, we operated from 701 locations in 43 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 28

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.

Tariffs

We continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions and recent U.S. trade policy announcements, which have implications for our supply chain. Many HVAC equipment and component manufacturers, including Carrier and Rheem, source component parts from China and Mexico or assemble significant portions of residential and light-commercial products in Mexico, exposing them to tariff and inflationary pressures. In response, our OEM partners and suppliers have implemented varied price actions. To mitigate these effects, we have taken pricing actions, leveraging our technology platforms to efficiently adapt to changing conditions. While the long-term impact of tariffs remain uncertain, we believe that our focus on the HVAC replacement market remains a stabilizing factor, given the essential role of these products in providing comfort and healthy environments for homeowners and businesses. However, if additional restrictions, amendments to existing trade agreements, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or further tariff increases on goods sourced from or assembled in Mexico and China, significantly raise our product costs, then we may need to increase our prices further, which could lead to reduced sales, customer loss, and potential harm to our business.

Climate Change and Reductions in CO₂e Emissions

We believe that our business plays an important and significant role in the drive to lower CO₂e emissions. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”), heating and air conditioning accounts for roughly half of household energy consumption in the U.S. As such, replacing older, less efficient HVAC systems with higher efficiency systems is one of the most meaningful steps homeowners can take to reduce their electricity costs and carbon footprints.

The overwhelming majority of new HVAC systems that we sell replace systems that likely operate below current minimum efficiency standards in the U.S. and may use more harmful refrigerants that have been, or are being, phased-out. As consumers replace HVAC systems with new, higher-efficiency systems, homeowners will consume less energy, save costs, and reduce their carbon footprints.

The sale of high-efficiency systems has long been a focus of ours, and we have invested in tools and technology intended to capture an increasingly richer sales mix over time. In addition, regulatory mandates will likely periodically increase the required minimum Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio rating, referred to as SEER, thus providing a catalyst for increased sales of higher-efficiency systems. The Company expects these regulations to reduce the carbon footprint of end-users and increase average selling prices over time, subject to customary risks of quality, availability, and performance of new HVAC systems.

The American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020 (the “AIM Act”) granted the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency the authority to regulate hydrofluorocarbon (“HFC”) refrigerants. Although HFCs were introduced as alternatives to ozone-depleting substances like chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons, they are now recognized greenhouse gases that impact climate change due to their high global warming potential (“GWP”). Consequently, a required 85% phasedown of HFC production and consumption over a 15-year period commenced on January 1, 2022. Further regulations were introduced that (1) restrict the use of high-GWP refrigerants in the production of new HVAC systems after December 31, 2024 and (2) established a timeline over which the sales and installation of HVAC systems by distributors and contractors were permitted. The Company, in collaboration with its OEMs and in anticipation of the change, began to transition its inventory to the new lower-GWP HVAC systems (the “A2L Systems”) and phase-out of the higher GWP systems (the “410A Systems”). The regulations permit the sale and installation of matching 410A HVAC systems (i.e., outdoor and indoor components that are installed together) through December 31, 2025, after which only system components may be sold and installed thereafter without limitation or expiration. Currently, it cannot be determined to what degree we will sell through our 410A Systems over the remainder of 2025 or to what extent demand for 410A Systems components will continue beyond 2025. The Company is actively selling these products and will continue to evaluate and assess the ultimate realizability of inventory related to the 410A Systems.

We offer a broad variety of systems that operate above the minimum SEER standards, ranging from base-level efficiency to systems that exceed 20 SEER. Based on estimates validated by independent sources, we averted an estimated 24.5 million metric tons of CO₂e emissions from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2025 through the sale of replacement residential HVAC systems at higher-efficiency standards.

16 of 28

Federal Tax Credits

The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) was intended, in part, to promote the replacement of existing systems in favor of high-efficiency heat pump systems that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as compared to older systems, and thereby combat climate change. According to the DOE, heat pumps can reduce electricity use for heating by approximately 65% as compared to gas furnaces. Programs under the IRA include enhanced tax credits for homeowners who install qualifying HVAC equipment and tax deductions for owners of commercial buildings that are upgraded to achieve defined energy savings. The Act commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill, which was signed into law on July 4, 2025, eliminated the IRA’s previously enacted tax credits for HVAC systems, making such credits unavailable after December 31, 2025.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. At least quarterly, management reevaluates its judgments and estimates, which are based on historical experience, current trends, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Our critical accounting estimates are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025. We believe that there have been no significant changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

New Accounting Standards

Refer to Note 1 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of recently adopted, and to be adopted, accounting standards.

The following narratives reflect our acquisitions of Southern Ice Equipment Distributors, Inc. (“SIE”) in May 2025, Hawkins HVAC Distributors, Inc. (“Hawkins”) in April 2025, W.L. Lashley & Associates, Inc. (“Lashley”) in January 2025, and Commercial Specialists, Inc. (“CSI”) in February 2024.

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, 2025 and 2024, two and three locations, respectively, that we opened during the immediately preceding 12 months were near existing locations and were therefore included in “same-store basis” information.

The table below summarizes the changes in our locations for the 12 months ended June 30, 2025:


	Number of Locations
June 30, 2024		691
Opened		6
Closed		(7	)

December 31, 2024		690
Opened		5
Acquired		10
Closed		(4	)

Second Quarter of 2025 Compared to Second Quarter of 2024

Revenues


	Quarter Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2025		2024		Change
Revenues	$	2,062.4	$	2,139.3	$	(76.9	)	(4	%)

The decrease in revenues for the second quarter of 2025 included $10.2 million attributable to new locations acquired and $7.5 million from other locations opened during the preceding 12 months, offset by $7.1 million from locations closed.


	Quarter Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2025		2024		Change
Same-store sales	$	2,044.7	$	2,132.2	$	(87.5	)	(4	%)

18 of 28

The following table presents our revenues for the second quarter of 2025, as a percentage of sales, by major product lines and the related percentage change in revenues from the prior period:


	% of Sales
	Quarter Ended June 30,
	2025			2024			% Change
HVAC equipment		68	%		71	%		(6	%)
Other HVAC products		28	%		25	%		0	%
Commercial refrigeration products		4	%		4	%		3	%

HVAC equipment sales reflect a 7% decrease in residential products, which is composed of unitary compressor-bearing systems, furnaces, and other indoor components (6% decrease in U.S. markets and a 20% decrease in international markets), and a 5% decrease in sales of commercial HVAC equipment (5% decrease in U.S. markets and a 4% decrease in international markets). The majority component of residential unitary compressor-bearing systems represents “ducted” systems produced by a variety of OEMs. Sales of ducted residential compressor-bearing systems decreased 8% during the second quarter of 2025, reflecting a 16% decrease in unit volume and an 8% increase in average selling price. Domestic sales of residential unitary compressor-bearing systems decreased 8%, reflecting a 17% decrease in units and a 9% increase in average selling price. The lower unit volumes primarily resulted from temperate weather conditions, lower home building activity, and A2L product transition-related impacts on new system installations.

Gross Profit


	Quarter Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2025			2024			Change
Gross profit	$	603.5		$	579.8		$	23.7	4	%
Gross margin		29.3	%		27.1	%

Gross profit margin improved 220 basis-points primarily due the timing and extent of OEM pricing actions as well as margin increases across several product categories attributable to further scaling of our pricing technologies in 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses


	Quarter Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2025			2024			Change
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	339.0		$	319.0		$	20.0	6	%
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues		16.4	%		14.9	%

On a same-store basis, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 6% as compared to 2024, primarily due to increases in headcount, salaries, facilities, and transportation costs partially associated with the A2L product transition, as well as 10 new locations acquired in 2025.

Other Income

Other income of $7.4 million and $8.1 million for the second quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively, represented our share of the net income of Russell Sigler, Inc. (“RSI”), in which we have a 38.4% equity interest.

Interest Income, Net

Interest income, net for the second quarter of 2025 decreased $2.6 million, or 53%, primarily due to lower cash and short-term cash investment balances on hand and lower interest earned on cash and cash equivalents for the 2025 period as compared to the same period in 2024.

Income Taxes


	Quarter Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2025			2024			Change
Income taxes	$	57.4		$	59.1		$	(1.7	)	(3	%)
Effective income tax rate		23.7	%		24.3	%

Income taxes represent a composite of the income taxes attributable to our wholly owned operations and income taxes attributable to our joint ventures with Carrier Global Corporation (“Carrier”), which are primarily taxed as partnerships for income tax purposes; therefore, Carrier is responsible for its proportionate share of income taxes attributable to its share of earnings from these joint ventures. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to higher tax credits in 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.

First Half of 2025 Compared to First Half of 2024

Revenues


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2025		2024		Change
Revenues	$	3,593.5	$	3,704.3	$	(110.8	)	(3	%)

The decrease in revenues for the first half of 2025 included $12.7 million attributable to new locations acquired and $13.4 million from other locations opened during the preceding 12 months, offset by $12.4 million from locations closed.


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2025		2024		Change
Same-store sales	$	3,567.4	$	3,691.9	$	(124.5	)	(3	%)

The following table presents our revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as a percentage of sales, by major product lines and the related percentage change in revenues from the prior period:


	% of Sales
	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2025			2024			% Change
HVAC equipment		68	%		70	%		(4	%)
Other HVAC products		28	%		26	%		(2	%)
Commercial refrigeration products		4	%		4	%		(1	%)

HVAC equipment sales reflect a 3% decrease in residential products, which is composed of unitary compressor-bearing systems, furnaces, and other indoor components (3% decrease in U.S. markets and a 13% decrease in international markets), and an 8% decrease in sales of commercial HVAC equipment (7% decrease in U.S. markets and a 9% decrease in international markets). The majority component of residential unitary compressor-bearing systems represents “ducted” systems produced by a variety of OEMs. Sales of ducted residential compressor-bearing systems decreased 5% during the first half of 2025, reflecting a 12% decrease in unit volume and a 7% increase in average selling price. Domestic sales of residential unitary compressor-bearing systems decreased 4%, reflecting an 11% decrease in units and a 7% increase in average selling price.

Gross Profit


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2025			2024			Change
Gross profit	$	1,033.1		$	1,010.4		$	22.7	2	%
Gross margin		28.7	%		27.3	%

Gross profit margin improved 140 basis-points primarily due to the impact of pricing and sales mix for HVAC equipment in 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2025			2024			Change
Selling, general and administrative expenses	$	661.6		$	628.6		$	33.0	5	%
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues		18.4	%		17.0	%

20 of 28

On a same-store basis, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 5% as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to increases in headcount, salaries, and facilities costs.

Other Income

Other income of $12.5 million and $13.5 million for the first half of 2025 and 2024, respectively, represents our share of the net income of RSI, in which we have a 38.4% equity interest.

Interest Income, Net

Interest income, net for the first half of 2025 increased $0.4 million, or 5%, primarily due to greater interest earned on cash and short-term investments for the 2025 period as compared to the same period in 2024.

Income Taxes


	Six Months Ended June 30,
(in millions)	2025			2024			Change
Income taxes	$	80.5		$	83.8		$	(3.3	)	(4	%)
Effective income tax rate		23.2	%		23.5	%

Income taxes represent a composite of the income taxes attributable to our wholly owned operations and income taxes attributable to our joint ventures with Carrier, 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 decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to higher tax credits combined with lower earnings in 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.

Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.

Net income attributable to Watsco, Inc. for the first half of 2025 decreased $4.7 million, or 2%, compared to the same period in 2024.

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 timing and extent of sales of Common stock under our at-the-market offering program;

•

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 and Class B common stock (collectively “common stock”) repurchases.

Sources and Uses of Cash

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

We believe that the combination of our operating cash flows, cash on hand, available borrowings under our revolving credit agreement, and funds available from sales of our Common stock under our 2024 ATM Program, each of which is described below, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that our current sources of available funds will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements.

As of June 30, 2025, we had $293.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $94.8 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.

21 of 28

Our access to funds under our revolving credit agreement depends on the ability of the syndicate banks to meet their respective funding commitments. Disruptions in the credit and capital markets could adversely affect our ability to draw on our revolving credit agreement and may also adversely affect the determination of interest rates, particularly rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which is one of the base rates under our revolving credit agreement. SOFR has limited historical data and is a secured lending rate. The use of SOFR as a base rate under our revolving credit agreement could give rise to uncertainties and volatility in the benchmark rates applicable to our borrowings under such agreement. Additionally, disruptions in the credit and capital markets could also result in increased borrowing costs or reduced borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreement.

Working Capital

Working capital increased to $2,228.8 million at June 30, 2025 from $2,096.1 million at December 31, 2024 due to: (i) higher inventory balances driven by the seasonal ramp-up in inventories in connection with our selling season and the A2L product transition; (ii) higher accounts receivable; and (iii) lower cash and short-term cash investments consistent with the change in inventory.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in millions):


	2025			2024			Change
Cash flows (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(185.1	)	$	161.4		$	(346.5	)
Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities	$	222.3		$	(217.3	)	$	439.6
Cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities	$	(274.2	)	$	73.8		$	(348.0	)

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

Net cash used in operating activities was higher primarily due to higher inventory balances driven by the seasonal ramp-up in inventories and new products related to the A2L product transition, and the timing of vendor payments, partially offset by a lower increase in accounts receivable in 2025 as compared to 2024.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities increased primarily due to proceeds from certificates of deposit that matured in 2025.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased primarily due to $281.8 million in net proceeds received in March 2024 from the sale of Common stock under our 2021 ATM Program (as defined below), as well as distributions to the non-controlling interest in 2025.

Revolving Credit Agreement

We maintain an unsecured, five-year $600.0 million syndicated multicurrency revolving credit agreement, which may be used for, among other things, funding seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, dividends (if and as declared by our Board of Directors), capital expenditures, stock repurchases, and issuances of letters of credit. The revolving credit facility has a seasonal component from October 1 to March 31, during which the borrowing capacity may be reduced to $500.0 million at our discretion (which effectively reduces fees payable in respect of the unused portion of the commitment). Included in the revolving credit facility are a $125.0 million swingline loan sublimit, a $10.0 million letter of credit sublimit, a $75.0 million alternative currency borrowing sublimit, and an $10.0 million Mexican borrowing subfacility. The revolving credit agreement matures on March 16, 2028.

At June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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, 2025.

At-the-Market Offering Program

On August 6, 2021, we entered into a sales agreement with Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc. (“Baird”), which enabled the Company to issue and sell shares of Common stock in one or more negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for a maximum aggregate offering amount of up to $300.0 million (the “2021 ATM Program”).

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we issued and sold 712,000 shares of Common stock under the 2021 ATM Program for net proceeds of $281.8 million. We used a portion of the proceeds to repay outstanding debt under our revolving credit agreement and purchased short-term cash investments with the remainder. In aggregate, we issued and sold $298.5 million of Common stock under the 2021 ATM Program.

22 of 28

On May 3, 2024, we entered into an amended and restated sales agreement with Baird (the “2024 ATM Program”), which enables the further issuance and sale of Common stock for a maximum aggregate offering amount of up to $400.0 million. At June 30, 2025, $400.0 million was available for sale under the 2024 ATM Program. The offer and sale of shares under the 2024 ATM Program had been registered under the Securities Act pursuant to our automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-282975).

Investment in Unconsolidated Entity

Carrier Enterprise I, one of our joint ventures with Carrier, in which we have an 80% controlling interest, has a 38.4% ownership interest in RSI, an HVAC distributor operating from 36 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 with RSI and its shareholders (the “RSI Shareholders’ Agreement”), consisting of five Sigler second generation family siblings and their affiliates, who collectively own 55.4% of RSI (the “RSI Majority Holders”) and certain next-generation Sigler family members and an employee, who collectively own 6.2% of RSI (the “RSI Minority Holders” and, together with the RSI Majority Holders, the “RSI Shareholders”). Pursuant to the RSI Shareholders’ Agreement, the RSI Shareholders have the right to sell, and Carrier Enterprise I has the obligation to purchase, their respective shares of RSI for a purchase price determined based on the higher of book value or a multiple of EBIT, the latter of which Carrier Enterprise I used to calculate the price for its 38.4% investment held in RSI. The RSI Shareholders may transfer their respective shares of RSI common stock only to members of the Sigler family or to Carrier Enterprise I, and, at any time from and after the date on which Carrier Enterprise I owns 85% or more of RSI’s outstanding common stock, it has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from the RSI Shareholders the remaining outstanding shares of RSI common stock. At June 30, 2025, using the criteria set forth in the RSI Shareholders’ Agreement, the valuation of the RSI Shareholders’ RSI common stock was approximately $460.0 million.

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

We believe that our operating cash flows, cash on hand or funds available for borrowing under our revolving credit agreement, or use of the 2024 ATM Program would be sufficient to purchase any additional ownership interests in RSI for cash pursuant to the agreement described in the preceding paragraph.

Acquisitions

Southern Ice Equipment Distributors, Inc.

On May 1, 2025, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries acquired SIE, a distributor of food service and ice machine equipment, parts and supplies with annual sales of approximately $30.0 million operating from seven locations in Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Texas. Consideration for the purchase consisted of $14.3 million in cash and 7,400 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $3.4 million, net of cash acquired of $0.7 million. The preliminary purchase price resulted in the recognition of $7.8 million in goodwill.

Hawkins HVAC Distributors, Inc.

On April 1, 2025, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries acquired Hawkins, a distributor of commercial HVAC supplies with annual sales of approximately $9.0 million, operating from two locations in North Carolina and South Carolina. Consideration for the purchase consisted of $2.5 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $0.4 million.

W.L. Lashley & Associates, Inc.

On January 3, 2025, Carrier Enterprise I acquired Lashley, a distributor of commercial HVAC supplies with annual sales of approximately $8.0 million, operating from one location in Houston, Texas. Consideration for the purchase consisted of $3.7 million in cash, 1,036 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $0.5 million, and $0.8 million for repayment of indebtedness, net of cash acquired of $0.8 million. Carrier contributed $1.0 million cash to Carrier Enterprise I in connection with the acquisition of Lashley. The preliminary purchase price resulted in the recognition of $3.1 million in goodwill.

23 of 28

Commercial Specialists, Inc.

On February 1, 2024, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries acquired CSI, a distributor of HVAC products with annual sales of approximately $13.0 million, operating from two locations in Kentucky and Ohio. Consideration for the purchase consisted of $6.0 million in cash, 1,904 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $0.8 million, and $0.6 million for repayment of indebtedness, net of cash acquired of $1.4 million. The purchase price resulted in the recognition of $2.5 million in goodwill.

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 $5.70 and $5.15 per share on common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. On July 1, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $3.00 per share on common stock that was paid on July 31, 2025 to shareholders of record as of July 16, 2025. 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, prospects, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

On March 29, 2024, we implemented the Watsco, Inc. Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “DRIP”), under which existing shareholders may, in accordance with the DRIP, acquire up to 300,000 shares of each of Common and Class B common stock, as applicable, by reinvesting all or a portion of the cash dividends paid on such shareholders’ shares of common stock. The DRIP has been registered under the Securities Act pursuant to our automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-282975).

During the quarters ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 16,553 and 4 shares of our common stock, respectively, were issued under the DRIP. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 30,495 and 4 shares of our common stock, respectively, were issued under the DRIP.

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 stock have been repurchased at a cost of $114.4 million since the inception of the program. At June 30, 2025, there were 1,129,087 shares remaining authorized for repurchase under the program.

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 continuously seek to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our internal controls. This results in refinements to processes throughout the Company. However, there were no changes in our 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, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
