ADI Global Distribution revenue increased 6% on a GAAP basis and 7% on a constant currency basis. Despite aCOVID-19 pandemic-driven revenue slowdown toward the end of the quarter, segment constant currency revenue increased in the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions. Segment Adjusted EBITDA remained flat despite higher revenue,COVID-19 pandemic related employee benefit reductions, and other cost productivity improvements. Unfavorable product line and customer mix as well as commercial investments negatively impacted Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter.
Products & Solutions segment revenue decreased 14% on a GAAP basis and 13% on a constant currency basis, with lower revenue across all lines of business driven by the overlap of a strong prior year quarter, coupled with the impact of theCOVID-19 pandemic. Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased from $81 million in the first quarter of 2019 to $53 million, or 35%, driven primarily by lower revenue and unfavorable product mix relating mainly to new product launches in the Security and Comfort businesses. Cost reduction fromon-going transformation programs coupled withCOVID-19 pandemic related cost actions partially offset the impact of lower revenue on Segment Adjusted EBITDA.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
Resideo has maintained a strong liquidity position throughout the early stages of theCOVID-19 pandemic through several measures, including the draw-down of our $350 million revolving credit facility as a conservative measure. The future trajectory of theCOVID-19 pandemic remains unclear and the company plans to continue its focus on cost reduction and cash flow management measures, including reducing net working capital investment and planned capital spending. In addition, we intend to continue our dialogue with Honeywell regarding the overall relationship, including the deferment of $42 million of second quarter payments related to the Honeywell reimbursement agreement and trademark license agreement that was announced on April 23, 2020.
As of March 31, 2020, the company had cash and cash equivalents on balance sheet of $338 million and was in compliance with its debt covenants.
Financial and Operational Review Update
The work undertaken by Resideo as part of the comprehensive Financial and Operational (F&O) review provided the company with a head start in reacting to theCOVID-19 pandemic, supporting acceleration of cost reduction actions within selling, general and administrative expenses and indirect spend.
Teich continued, “I have been pleased with the progress the management team has made, and while there is still significant uncertainty regarding the depth and duration of the crisis, I believe our F&O action plan has enabled us to more swiftly and decisively address some of the challenges presented by theCOVID-19 pandemic. Based on the progress made to date on our F&O initiatives, we remain confident that the actions we announced in our fourth quarter 2019 earnings release will allow us to achieve $30—$40 million of cost savings in 2020. Consistent with our expectations, there were not material F&O savings in our Q1 financial results.”
