Notes to Condensed Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements

September 30, 2025

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

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 September 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 offive 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 20% non-controlling interest, (iii) the accounts of a Canadian joint venture with Carrier, in which we have a 60% controlling interest and Carrier has a 40% 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 nine months ended September 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.

Short-Term Cash Investments

Short-term cash investments consist of certificates of deposit.

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

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.

Measurement of Credit Losses

In July 2025, the FASB issued amended guidance to provide the option to elect a practical expedient for the application of the expected credit loss model. Under this practical expedient, an entity can assume that the current conditions it has applied in determining credit loss allowances for current accounts receivable and current contract assets remain unchanged for the remaining life of those assets. This amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Internal Use Software

In September 2025, the FASB issued updated guidance on the accounting for internal use software costs. The updated guidance removes all references to project stages to be neutral to different software development methods and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Other comprehensive income (loss) consists of the foreign currency translation adjustment associated with our Canadian operations’ use of the Canadian dollar as their functional currency.

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.

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 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 forward contract not designated as a hedging instrument at September 30, 2025, the total notional value of which was$11,300. Such contract expired in October 2025.

We recognized (losses) gains of$(517) and$1,312 from foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We recognized (losses) gains of$(1,260) and$2,908 from foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

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:

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

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 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.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

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 an aggregate of 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 of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to our automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-282975).

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 $400,000. At September 30, 2025, $400,000 was available for sale under the 2024 ATM Program. The offer and sale of shares under the 2024 ATM Program have been registered under the Securities Act pursuant to our automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-282975).

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 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$5,738 and$6,247 at September 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.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Purchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 61% of all inventory purchases made during both the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Purchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 61% and 62% of all inventory purchases made during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximately$108,000 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 included approximately$42,000,$24,000,$67,000, and$64,000, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, fees for services performed were$12,$28,$121, and$229, respectively, and$23 and$32 was payable at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

SEGMENT REPORTING

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