Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Current report
We manage our business operations through two business segments, Products and Solutions and ADI Global Distribution. In the second quarter of 2024, we expanded the business through the acquisition of Snap One, which has been incorporated into the ADI Global Distribution business segment. The acquisition expands our distribution into and reach with smart-living products, services, and software.
Current report
Our ADI Global Distribution segment is a leading wholesale distributor of low-voltage products including security, fire, and access control, and participates significantly in the broader related markets of smart home, residential audio-visual, professional audio-visual, power management, networking, data communications, wire and cable, enterprise connectivity, and structured wiring products. In addition, ADI Global Distribution partners with a network of contract manufacturers and joint-development suppliers to produce a full range of proprietary smart-home technology products and solutions under our own exclusive brands. These products may be found in residential and commercial settings and utilize proprietary software platforms such as Control4 and OvrC for project commissioning and remote monitoring.
Current report
For 2025, we anticipate executing our business against a global macro-economic environment that continues to be mixed. Despite some signals that new U.S. residential home building is back to normal levels and the outlook for U.S. repair and remodeling has reverted to modest low-single digit percentage growth, U.S. mortgage rates remain high, the existing U.S. home re-sale market is still soft, and inflation remains persistent globally. We expect these trends to support our 2025 year-over-year revenue outlook of up low-to-mid single-digits.

Results of Operations
Current report
Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $6,761 million, an increase of $519 million, or 8.3%, from the prior year, primarily due to $553 million of revenue from the acquisition of Snap One and higher sales volume of $74 million driven by the ADI Global Distribution segment. The increase was partially offset by $105 million of lower sales from the divestiture of the Genesis business in 2023, and $6 million of unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. The price increases at Product and Solutions were offset by the decreases at ADI Global Distribution, resulting in minimal impact from price on net revenue.

Current report
Gross profit of $1,901 million increased $205 million and gross margin of 28.1% was up 90 basis points (“bps”) from the prior year. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by lower manufacturing costs of 140 bps, favorable impacts from the acquisition of Snap One, net of Genesis divestiture of 80 bps, which was partially offset by net unfavorable price and mix shift of 90 bps and the impact from lower volumes of 30 bps.

We enter into contracts that pertain to products, which are accounted for as separate performance obligations and are typically one year or less in duration. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. For product sales, typically each product sold to a customer represents a distinct performance obligation. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for our products. We recognize the majority of our revenue from performance obligations outlined in contracts with our customers that are satisfied at a point in time, generally when the product has shipped from our facility and control has transferred to the customer. For certain products, it is industry practice that customers take title to products upon delivery, at which time revenue is then recognized. Allowances for cash discounts, volume rebates and other customer incentive programs, as well as gross customer returns, among others, are recorded as a reduction of sales at the time of sale based upon the estimated future outcome. Cash discounts, volume rebates and other customer incentive programs are based upon certain percentages agreed upon with various customers, which are typically earned by the customer over an annual period.
