Organization, Operations and Basis of Presentation | Business Description Resideo Technologies, Inc. (“Resideo” or “the Company”), is a global provider of products, software, solutions and technologies that help homeowners stay connected and in control of their comfort, security and energy use. The Company is a leader in the home heating, ventilation and air conditioning controls and security markets, and a leading global distributor of low-voltage electronic and security products. Separation from Honeywell The Company was incorporated in Delaware on April 24, 2018. The Company separated from Honeywell International Inc. (“Honeywell”) on October 29, 2018, becoming an independent publicly traded company as a result of a pro rata distribution of the Company’s common stock to shareholders of Honeywell (the “Spin-Off”). On October 3, 2018, Exhibit 99.1 to Amendment No. 2 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on October 2, 2018 was declared effective by the SEC. On October 29, 2018, Honeywell’s shareholders of record as of October 16, 2018 (“Record Date”) received one share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, for every six shares of Honeywell’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share, held as of the Record Date, and cash for any fractional shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company began trading “regular way” under the ticker symbol “REZI” on the New York Stock Exchange on October 29, 2018. In connection with the separation, Resideo and Honeywell entered into a Honeywell Reimbursement Agreement (as defined in Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies), a Separation and Distribution Agreement, an Employee Matters Agreement, a Tax Matters Agreement, a Transition Services Agreement, a Trademark License Agreement and a Patent Cross-License Agreement. The agreements govern the relationship between Resideo and Honeywell following the separation and provide for the allocation of various assets, liabilities, rights and obligations. These agreements also include arrangements for transition services to be provided by Honeywell to Resideo and by Resideo to Honeywell. Basis of Presentation Prior to the Spin-Off on October 29, 2018, the Company’s historical financial statements were prepared on a stand-alone combined basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Honeywell. Accordingly, for periods prior to October 29, 2018, these financial statements are presented on a combined basis and for the periods subsequent to October 29, 2018 are presented on a consolidated basis (collectively, the historical financial statements for all periods presented are referred to as “Consolidated and Combined Interim Financial Statements”). The Consolidated and Combined Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Consolidated and Combined Interim Financial Statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they contain all the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP applicable to interim periods. All intracompany transactions have been eliminated for all periods presented. As described in “Note 5. Related Party Transactions with Honeywell” of Notes to unaudited Consolidated and Combined Interim Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q Prior to the Spin-Off, transactions between the Company and Honeywell were reflected in the Combined Balance Sheet as Due from related parties, current or Due to related parties, current. In the unaudited Combined Interim Statement of Cash Flows, the cash flows related to related party notes receivables presented in the Combined Balance Sheet in Due from related parties, current are reflected as investing activities since these balances represent amounts loaned to Honeywell. The cash flows related to related party notes payables presented in the Combined Balance Sheet in Due to related parties, current are reflected as financing activities since these balances represent amounts financed by Honeywell. While the Company was owned by Honeywell, a centralized approach to cash management and financing was used. Prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off, the majority of the Company’s cash was transferred to Honeywell daily and Honeywell funded the Company’s operating and investing activities as needed. Cash transfers to and from Honeywell’s cash management accounts are reflected in the Combined Balance Sheet as Due to and Due from related parties, current and in the unaudited Combined Interim Statement of Cash Flows as net financing activities. The unaudited Combined Interim Financial Statements prior to the Spin-Off include certain assets and liabilities that have historically been held at the Honeywell corporate level but were specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Company. The cash and cash equivalents held by Honeywell at the corporate level were not specifically identifiable to the Company and therefore were not attributed for any of the periods presented. Honeywell third-party debt and the related interest expense were not allocated for any of the periods presented as Honeywell’s borrowings were not directly attributable to the Company. In periods subsequent to the Spin-Off, we may have made and may continue to make adjustments to balances transferred at the Spin-Off, including adjustments to the classification of assets or liabilities transferred. Any such adjustments are recorded directly to equity in Adjustments due to the Spin-Off and are considered immaterial. Prior to the Spin-Off, Honeywell provided certain services, such as legal, accounting, information technology, human resources and other infrastructure support, on behalf of the Company. The cost of these services has been allocated to the Company on the basis of the proportion of net revenue. The Company and Honeywell consider these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the benefits received by the Company. However, the financial information presented in these unaudited Consolidated and Combined Interim Financial Statements may not reflect the consolidated and combined financial position, operating results and cash flows of the Company had the Company been a separate stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the Company had been a stand-alone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure. Both Resideo and Honeywell consider the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefits received by the Company during the periods presented. After the Spin-Off, a number of the above services have continued under a Transition Services Agreement with Honeywell, which the Company expenses as incurred based on the contractual pricing terms. The Company reports its quarterly financial information using a calendar convention; the first, second and third quarters are consistently reported as ending on March 31, June 30 and September 30. It is the Company’s practice to establish actual quarterly closing dates using a predetermined fiscal calendar, which requires its businesses to close their books on the last Saturday of the month in order to minimize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closing on business processes. The effects of this practice are generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only exist within a reporting year. In the event that differences in actual closing dates are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results, the Company will provide appropriate disclosures. Actual closing dates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018, respectively. |
