Management Remarks

“2021 was a year of record performance for Resideo as both ADI and Products & Solutions delivered double digit revenue growth and operating margin expansion,” commented Jay Geldmacher, Resideo’s President and CEO. “The team executed through a challenging supply chain environment, stepping up to deliver for our customers. This operational execution and early returns on our transformation efforts and investments resulted in meaningful growth in earnings and cash generation.”

“As we look to 2022, we expect to build on the strong 2021 performance with continued growth and margin expansion. At ADI we are focused on accelerating the momentum in our digital initiatives and continuing our expansion into adjacent audio visual and data communications categories. Within Products & Solutions we now have the foundation in place to build on our product and channel leadership to drive innovation and new revenue streams and we are excited about the opportunities created by our pending acquisition of First Alert.”

Products & Solutions 2021 Highlights

• Record revenue of $2.5 billion, up 16% compared to 2020

• Operating profit of $541 million, up 33% compared to 2020

• Foundational investment in people, productivity tools and processes to support the long-term growth of the business

Products & Solutions delivered record revenue of $2.5 billion in 2021, up 16% compared to 2020. Demand was strong across all key product areas and channels driven by security and energy products and our OEM partners. Operating profit for 2021 was $541 million, or 21.9% of revenue, up 33% compared to 2020 and representing a 270 basis point expansion in operating margin. Revenue in the fourth quarter 2021 declined 6%, reflecting ongoing supply chain challenges as underlying demand trends remained solid.

The results come against a backdrop of significant supply chain, logistics and cost inflation challenges throughout the year. These challenges impacted the business’ ability to fully meet strong customer demand, drove significant additional costs for components and freight, and required significant resource reallocation, negating some of the financial impact of our transformation efforts and volume expansion. While Products & Solutions implemented several price increases during 2021, these price movements did not fully offset input and logistics cost increases for the full year. Cost pressures from materials and price realization came more into balance during the fourth quarter, although lower volumes weighed on gross margin during the period.

Underpinning the strong financial performance was significant progress on foundational organizational and systems work. This included investments in sales operations and business development, significant systems consolidations, introduction of a comprehensive integrated business planning process, and digital efforts to consolidate and refresh our web presence. Products & Solutions also launched Pro PERKS loyalty program with our professional security dealers and HVAC contractors. These core investments are providing better visibility into our key customers and partners, and allowing for better alignment of investment and capital allocation decisions with the long-term strategy.

Innovation and new product development remain a key focus of investment activity and major activities in 2021 included significant enhancements to Pro Series for the general security market, expanded thermostat portfolio breadth and refreshed hydronic products in Europe.

ADI Global Distribution 2021 Highlights

• Record revenue of $3.4 billion, up 15% compared to 2020

• Operating profit of $268 million, up 38% compared to 2020

• E-commerce sales growth of 47%, accounting for 15% of ADI total sales

• Completed acquisition and integration of Norfolk Wire & Cable and Shoreview Distribution

ADI closed 2021 strong with fourth quarter 2021 revenue up 8% on a daily sales average basis and flat on a reported basis compared with 2020, reflecting five fewer selling days in fourth quarter 2021. For full year 2021, revenue expanded by 15% driven by strong demand across key product categories and within commercial and residential end markets. As the year progressed, vendor supply issues became more prevalent, particularly in categories such as video surveillance and intrusion, which resulted in elevated backlog at year end.

Operating profit of $268 million for 2021 was up 38% from $194 million in 2020. ADI delivered approximately 100 basis points of gross margin expansion for the year, reflecting investment and execution on pricing initiatives, which have provided the ADI sales team more real-time insight and the ability to price more efficiently. Gross margin was also favorably impacted by the current inflationary pricing environment, particularly during the second half of the year.

ADI continued to expand its investments in digital initiatives in 2021. This included e-commerce experience, pricing optimization and salesforce effectiveness tools. These investments drove touchless sales to over $1 billion for the year, or over 30% of total ADI sales, half of which were through e-commerce. With this omni-channel expansion ADI is better positioned to serve customers how and where they want to transact, whether in-person or online. This move to more digital interactions also frees sales associates for more consultative and value-add interactions. The positive impacts of this are seen in the total sales generated per sales associate, which expanded to over $2 million per sales head in 2021, up 14% compared with 2020.

Full Year 2021 Performance

Consolidated revenue for the full year 2021 was $5.8 billion, up 15% compared with consolidated revenue for the prior year of $5.1 billion. Gross profit margin for the full year 2021 was 26.7%, compared to 25.9% for the prior year. Operating profit of $559 million for the full year 2021 increased 80% compared to operating profit of $311 million for the prior year. Corporate costs decreased 14% to $250 million from $290 million in 2020, despite $16 million associated with the proposed settlement of securities class action litigation and $9 million of facility exit costs. For the full year 2021, the company reported net income of $242 million, or $1.63 per diluted common share. This compares to net income of $37 million, or $0.29 per diluted common share for the prior year.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Performance

Consolidated revenue of $1.45 billion in the fourth quarter 2021 decreased 3% compared with the prior year of $1.50 billion. Gross profit margin for the fourth quarter 2021 was 27.2%, compared to 28.2% in the prior year. Resideo’s operating profit of $141 million in the fourth quarter 2021 compared to a prior year operating profit of $152 million. Total Corporate costs were $54 million, down from $73 million in the prior year primarily due to impacts from transformation program cost savings and reduction of spin-off costs. Net income for the fourth quarter 2021 was $67 million, or $0.45 per diluted common share, compared with $59 million, or $0.44 per diluted common share, in the prior year.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

Resideo reported net cash provided by operating activities of $315 million for full year 2021, an increase of $71 million from the prior year. This improvement was primarily due to higher net income partially offset by higher working capital balances driven by strong revenue growth. At December 31, 2021, Resideo had cash and cash equivalents of $779 million and total outstanding debt of $1.2 billion.

Outlook

The company expects full year 2022 revenue to be in the range of $5.95 billion to $6.20 billion, gross profit margin in the range of 27.0% to 28.0% and operating profit in the range of $610 million to $650 million.

The company expects first quarter 2022 revenue to be in the range of $1.425 billion to $1.475 billion, gross profit margin in the range of 27.5% to 28.5% and operating profit in the range of $140 million to $150 million.
