Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations
Resideo Technologies, Inc. (“Resideo”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is a global manufacturer, developer and distributor of technology-driven sensing and controls products and solutions that help homeowners and businesses stay connected and in control of their comfort, security, energy use, and smart living. We are a leader in the home heating, ventilation and air conditioning controls markets, smoke and carbon monoxide detection home safety and fire suppression products markets, and security markets. Our global footprint serves residential and commercial end-markets.
Basis of Consolidation and Reporting
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits arising from consolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation.
We report financial information on a fiscal quarter basis using a modified four-four-five week calendar. Our fiscal calendar begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. We have elected the first, second, and third quarters to end on a Saturday in order to not disrupt business processes. The effects of this election are generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only exist within a reporting year.
Reclassification
For the purposes of comparability, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period classification. Refer to Note 4. Segment Financial Data for additional information on reclassified corporate expenses to the segments.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
We consider the following policies to be beneficial in understanding the judgment involved in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements and the uncertainties that could impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
(a)Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, provisions for expected credit losses and inventory reserves, revenue recognition, accounting for income taxes, accounting for business combinations and dispositions, valuation of reporting units for purposes of assessing goodwill for impairment, valuation of long-lived asset groups for impairment testing, the useful lives of long-lived assets, accruals for employee benefits, stock-based compensation, pension benefits, indemnification liabilities, deferred taxes, warranties, and certain contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience, market participant fair value considerations, projected future cash flows, and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(b)Business Combinations—Our acquisitions are accounted for under ASC 805, Business Combinations. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of acquired companies are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets from the acquisition date, adjusted to reflect their fair value. Intangible assets are measured and recognized at fair value and amortized over their estimated useful lives. We recognize goodwill equal to the difference between the purchase price and identifiable assets and liabilities. Acquisition-related costs are recognized as incurred.
We estimate the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date utilizing either a cost or income approach. Determining the fair value of acquired intangibles involves significant estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, forecasted revenue growth rates, customer attrition rate, market-participant discount rates, the assumed royalty rates, and income tax rates. The valuation of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities resulting from an acquisition is subject to management review and may change materially between the preliminary allocation and end of the purchase price allocation period of one year.
Customer relationships are valued using the multi-period excess earnings method. The multi-period excess earnings method estimates the discounted net earnings attributable to the customer relationships that were acquired after considering items such as possible customer attrition. Estimated useful lives were determined based on the length and trend of projected cash flows. The length of the projected cash flow period was determined based on the expected attrition of the customer relationships, which is based on our historical experience and future expectations for renewing and extending similar customer relationships.
Technology and trade names are valued using the relief from royalty method to estimate the cost savings that will accrue to the Company, which would otherwise have to pay royalties or license fees on revenue earned by using the asset. The useful lives of the assets were determined based on management’s estimate of the period of time the technology or name will be in use.
(c)Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash—Cash and cash equivalents may consist of cash on hand, money market instruments, time deposits, and highly liquid investments. All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted as to the withdrawal or use under terms of certain contractual agreements are recorded in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and primarily relate to collateral to support certain bank guarantees. Restricted cash for the periods presented was not material. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
(d)Accounts Receivable, net of Allowance for Credit Losses—Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, presented net of allowance for credit losses and do not bear interest. We review the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on an ongoing basis using historical collection trends and aging of receivables. Management also periodically evaluates individual customers’ financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions to make adjustments to the allowance when it is considered necessary. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Allowance for credit losses was not material as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
(e)Concentration of Credit Risk—Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counterparties failed to perform as contracted. Market risk represents our exposure to changes associated with our international operations as we generate revenue and incur expenses in various currencies. We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our customers to which we grant credit terms in the normal course of business. The terms and conditions of credit sales are designed to mitigate or eliminate concentrations of credit risk with any single customer. Management does not believe we are exposed to any significant concentrations of credit risk that arise from cash and cash equivalent investments or accounts receivable.
(f)Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost being determined using the moving-average method or first in, first out (“FIFO”) method. Inventory reserves are maintained for obsolete and surplus items.
The following table summarizes the details of our inventory, net:
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | 2024 | 2023 |
| Raw materials | $171 | $221 |
| Work in process | 14 | 18 |
| Finished products | 1,052 | 702 |
| Total inventories, net | $1,237 | $941 |
(g)Property, Plant and Equipment—Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting purposes the straight-line method of depreciation is used over the estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the underlying lease. Depreciation is recognized in cost of sales, research and development, and selling, general and administrative expenses based on the nature and use of the underlying assets.
The following table summarizes the details of our property, plant and equipment, including useful lives:
| December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | 2024 | 2023 | Useful Lives |
| Machinery and equipment | $618 | $659 | 3-16 years |
| Buildings and improvements | 339 | 314 | 5-50 years |
| Construction in progress | 80 | 85 | NA |
| Land | 9 | 10 | NA |
| Gross property, plant and equipment | 1,046 | 1,068 | |
| Accumulated depreciation | (636) | (678) | |
| Total property, plant and equipment, net | $410 | $390 | |
NA = Not applicable; assets categorized as construction in progress and land are not depreciated.
Depreciation expense was $64 million, $59 million and $59 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
(h)Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—We assess the recoverability of the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount or related group of assets may not be recoverable. We perform an impairment test primarily utilizing the replacement cost method (a Level 3 valuation method) for the fair value of property, plant and equipment. If the expected undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.
(i)Goodwill and Intangible Assets—We review the carrying values of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying values may not be recoverable as well as annually, on the first day of the fourth quarter. The fair value calculated during the goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test uses the market approach in combination with the income approach for the reporting units and the relief from royalty method for the indefinite-lived intangible assets, respectively. The fair value is a Level 3 valuation based on certain unobservable inputs including estimated future cash flows and discount rates aligned with market-based assumptions, that would be utilized by market participants in valuing these assets or prices of similar assets. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we record a goodwill impairment loss as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Refer to Note 9. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net to Consolidated Financial Statements.
(j)Restructuring—We enter into various restructuring initiatives, optimization projects, strategic transactions, and other business activities that may include the recognition of exit or disposal costs. Exit or disposal costs are typically costs of termination benefits, such as severance, and costs associated with the closure or consolidation of operating facilities. Impairment of property and equipment and other current or long-term assets as a result of a restructuring initiative is recognized as a reduction of the appropriate asset. Refer to Note 6. Restructuring to Consolidated Financial Statements.
(k)Derivatives—We have interest rate swap agreements and an interest rate cap agreement. Our interest rate swap agreements effectively modify our exposure to interest rate risk by converting floating rate debt to a fixed rate for the term of the swap agreements, reducing the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. These agreements involve the receipt of floating rate amounts in exchange for fixed rate interest payments over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. Our interest rate cap agreement protects us from increases in interest rates above the capped rate.
Our interest rate derivative agreements are designated as cash flow hedges with hedge effectiveness assessed at inception and quarterly thereafter. To the extent the hedging relationship is highly effective, the unrealized gains or losses on the swaps and interest rate cap are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings within interest expense, net when the payments occur. We classify our cash flows related to interest rate swap agreements as operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The fair values of the interest rate derivatives are reflected as an other asset or liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the change in fair value is reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The fair values of the interest rate derivatives are estimated as the net present value of projected cash flows based upon forward interest rates at the balance sheet date. We do not offset fair value amounts recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheets for presentation purposes. Refer to Note 12. Derivative Financial Instrumentsto Consolidated Financial Statements.
(l)Warranties and Guarantees—Expected warranty costs for products sold are recognized based on an estimate of the amount that eventually will be required to settle such obligations. These accruals are based on factors such as historical experience, warranty period, and various other considerations. Costs of product recalls, which may include the cost of the replacing the product as well as the customer’s cost of the recall, including labor to remove and replace the recalled part, are accrued as part of the warranty accrual when an obligation becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. We periodically adjust these provisions to reflect actual experience and other facts and circumstances that impact the status of existing claims. Refer to Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies to Consolidated Financial Statements.
(m)Leases—Included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets are certain operating leases which are reported as a component of other assets and other liabilities with the short-term portion of the lease liability reported as a component of accrued liabilities. The leased assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. An incremental borrowing rate is used to calculate the present value of the remaining lease payments.
Each contract is reviewed at inception to determine if it contains a lease and whether the lease qualifies as an operating or financing lease. For short-term leases (leases with a term of 12 months or less), right-of-use assets or lease liabilities are not recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In determining the lease term, we consider the probability of exercising renewal or early termination options. In addition to the monthly base rent, we are often charged separately for common area maintenance, utilities, and taxes, which are considered a non-lease component. These non-lease component payments are expensed as incurred and are not included in operating lease assets or liabilities.
Right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable in accordance with our long-lived asset impairment assessment policy. We perform an impairment test primarily utilizing the income method to estimate the fair value of right-of-use assets, which incorporates Level 3 inputs such as internal business plans, real estate market capitalization and rental rates, and discount rates. Refer to Note 10. Leases to Consolidated Financial Statements.
(n)Revenue Recognition—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. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price (“SSP”). Judgment is required to determine the SSP for each distinct performance obligation that is not sold separately. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, the primary method used to estimate the SSP is the expected cost plus an estimated-margin approach. For services, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period in an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those services as the customer receives such services on a consistent basis throughout the contract period. 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.
Revenue is adjusted for variable consideration, which includes customer volume rebates and prompt payment discounts. We measure variable consideration by estimating expected outcomes using analysis and inputs based upon anticipated performance, historical data, and current and forecasted information. Customer returns are recorded as a reduction to sales on an actual basis throughout the year and also include an estimate at the end of each reporting period for future customer returns related to sales recorded prior to the end of the period. We generally estimate customer returns based upon the time lag that historically occurs between the sale date and the return date, while also factoring in any new business conditions that might impact the historical analysis such as new product introduction. Measurement of variable consideration is reviewed by management periodically and revenue is adjusted accordingly. We do not have significant financing components.
Sales, use, and value added taxes collected and remitted to various government authorities were not recognized as revenue and are reported on a net basis. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in cost of goods sold. Refer to Note 5. Revenue Recognitionto Consolidated Financial Statements.
(o)Royalty—In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a 40-year Trademark License Agreement (the “Trademark Agreement”) with Honeywell that authorizes our use of certain licensed trademarks in the operation of Resideo’s business for the advertising, sale, and distribution of certain licensed products. In exchange, we pay a royalty fee of 1.5% of net revenue of the licensed products to Honeywell, which is recorded in selling, general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 15. Commitments and Contingenciesto Consolidated Financial Statements.
(p)Reimbursement Agreement—In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a Reimbursement Agreement pursuant to which we have an obligation to make cash payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of payments, which include amounts billed, with respect to certain environmental claims, remediation and, to the extent arising after the Spin-Off, hazardous exposure or toxic tort claims, in each case, including consequential damages (the liabilities) in respect of specified Honeywell properties contaminated through historical business operations prior to the Spin-Off (Honeywell Sites), including the legal and other costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts relating to such liabilities, and less 90% of the net proceeds received by Honeywell in connection with (i) affirmative claims relating to such liabilities, (ii) contributions by other parties relating to such liabilities, and (iii) certain property sales. The amount payable in respect of such liabilities arising in any given year is subject to a cap of $140 million. Reimbursement Agreement expenses are presented within other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the liability is presented within Obligations payable under Indemnification Agreements in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies to Consolidated Financial Statements.
(q)Environmental—We accrue costs related to environmental matters when it is probable that we have incurred a liability related to a contaminated site and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Environmental costs for our owned, operating sites are presented within cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies.
(r)Tax Indemnification Agreement—The Tax Matters Agreement provides that Resideo is required to indemnify Honeywell for any taxes (and reasonable expenses) resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off and related internal transactions to qualify for their intended tax treatment under U.S. federal, state and local income tax law, as well as foreign tax law, where such taxes result from (a) breaches of covenants and representations we make and agree to in connection with the Spin-Off, (b) the application of certain provisions of U.S. federal income tax law to these transactions or (c) any other action taken or omission made (other than actions expressly required or permitted by the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement or other ancillary agreements) after the consummation of the Spin-Off that gives rise to these taxes. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had an indemnity outstanding to Honeywell for past and potential future tax payments of $91 million and $97 million, respectively. Refer to Note 15. Commitments and Contingenciesto Consolidated Financial Statements.
(s)Research and Development—We conduct research and development activities, which consist primarily of the development of new products and solutions as well as enhancements and improvements to existing products that substantially change the product. Research and development costs primarily relate to employee compensation and consulting fees, which are expensed as incurred.
(t)Defined Contribution Plans—We sponsor various defined contribution plans with varying terms depending on the country of employment. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we recognized compensation expense related to the defined contribution plans of $23 million, $22 million, and $22 million, respectively.
(u)Stock-Based Compensation Plans—The principal awards issued under our stock-based compensation plans, which are described in Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation Plans, are restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance stock units (“PSUs”) and stock option awards. The cost for such awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Some awards are issued with a market condition, which are valued on the grant date utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model. Stock options are also issued under our stock-based compensation plans and are valued on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model and the Monte Carlo simulation model require estimates of future stock price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate, and forfeitures.
For all stock-based compensation, the fair value of the award is recognized as expense over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award) and is included in either selling, general and administrative expenses or restructuring, impairment, and extinguishment costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations depending on whether the expense relates to our restructuring programs. Our time-based restricted stock awards are typically subject to graded vesting over a service period, while our performance- or market-based awards are typically subject to cliff vesting at the end of the service period.
(v)Pension—We disaggregate the service cost component of net benefit costs and report those costs in the same line item or items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other non-service components of net benefit costs are required to be presented separately from the service cost component and outside of income from operations.
We have recorded the service cost component of pension expense in costs of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses based on the classification of the employees it relates to. The remaining components of net benefit costs within pension expense, primarily interest costs and expected return on plan assets, are recorded in other expense, net. We recognize net actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the fair value of plan assets or the plans’ projected benefit obligation (the “corridor”) annually in the fourth quarter of each year. This adjustment is reported in other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 7. Pension Plans to Consolidated Financial Statements.
(w)Fair Value Accounting—We classify and disclose assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value in one of the following three categories:
Level 1—quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 2—observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data
Level 3—unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data
Financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
(x)Foreign Currency Translation and Remeasurement—Assets and liabilities of operations outside the U.S. with a functional currency other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates. Revenue, costs, and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the year. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency remeasurement and transaction gains and losses are included in other expense (income).
(y)Advertising Costs—Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, total advertising costs totaled $41 million, $37 million, and $43 million, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expense.
(z)Income Taxes—Significant judgment is required in evaluating tax positions. We established additional reserves for income taxes when, despite the belief that tax positions are fully supportable, there remain certain positions that do not meet the minimum recognition threshold. The approach for evaluating certain and uncertain tax positions is defined by the authoritative guidance, which determines when a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. In the normal course of business, the Company and our subsidiaries are examined by various federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. We regularly assess the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years in determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. We continually assess the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjust the income tax provision, the current tax liability and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a change in estimate become known. Refer to Note 17. Income Taxesto Consolidated Financial Statements.
(aa)Accounting Pronouncements—We consider the applicability and impact of all recent accounting standards updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have an immaterial impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU requires entities to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company adopted annual requirements under ASU 2023-07 on January 1, 2024 which has been incorporated into Note 4. Segment Financial Datato Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosure (Topic 220): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU requires entities to disaggregate operating expenses into specific categories, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization, to provide enhanced transparency into the nature and function of expenses. The guidance is effective for annual reporting years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently assessing the impact of adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the requirements on our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures
On June 14, 2024, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity of Snap One Holdings Corp. (“Snap One”), a leading provider of smart-living products, services, and software to professional integrators, for an aggregate purchase price of $1.4 billion. This acquisition aligns with our strategic objective to expand our distribution network, market presence, and product portfolio within the smart home and audio-visual sectors, enhancing our competitive positioning in the industry. The business is included within the ADI Global Distribution segment.
The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, and the fair value of the total purchase consideration transferred was $1,405 million, which included $17 million of non-cash share-based compensation award conversions.
The following table presents the preliminary purchase price allocation at fair values as of the date of acquisition. The valuation was completed, however, purchase price allocations may be subject to future adjustments for acquired working capital balances and income tax assets and liabilities within the one-year measurement period.
| (in millions) | |
|---|---|
| Assets acquired: | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $47 |
| Accounts receivable | 49 |
| Inventories | 240 |
| Other current assets | 27 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 63 |
| Goodwill (1) | 405 |
| Intangible assets (2) | 770 |
| Other assets | 69 |
| Total assets acquired | 1,670 |
| Liabilities assumed: | |
| Accounts payable | 48 |
| Accrued liabilities | 70 |
| Other liabilities (3) | 147 |
| Total liabilities assumed | 265 |
| Net assets acquired | $1,405 |
(1)Of the $405 million of goodwill from the acquisition, $90 million is expected to be tax deductible. Goodwill is comprised of expected synergies for the combined operations and the assembled workforce acquired in the acquisition.
(2) Includes customer relationships of $590 million, technology of $110 million, and trademarks of $70 million with weighted average useful lives of 12,7, and 10 years, respectively.
(3) Includes $58 million of deferred tax liabilities.
The Company expensed approximately $34 million of costs related to the acquisition of Snap One during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and consisted primarily of advisory, insurance, and legal fees. The Company assumed $21 million of seller success fees which were paid upon the closing of the acquisition.
Snap One’s contribution in the period post-acquisition for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $553 million of revenue and an immaterial impact to operating income.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information
On a pro forma basis, assuming the acquisition occurred at the beginning of 2023, Resideo’s net revenue for years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 would have been $7,222 million and $7,303 million, respectively. Snap One’s contribution to unaudited pro forma operating income is not materially different on a pro forma basis than the amounts reported for both periods. Acquisition-related costs of $34 million would have been reported in 2023 on a pro forma basis. The pro forma results are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the combined company would have been if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023, nor are they indicative of future results of operations.
Genesis Cable—On October 16, 2023, we sold the Genesis Cable business in a cash transaction for $86 million, subject to working capital and other closing adjustments. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $18 million in other expenses, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, which includes $5 million of divestiture related costs. The divested business did not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on our operations and financial results, and, as such, it was not presented as discontinued operations.
Sfty AS—On August 9, 2023, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Sfty AS, a developer of cloud-based services providing alerts to multifamily homes and property managers with smoke, carbon monoxide, and water leak detection products. We report Sfty AS’s results within the Products and Solutions segment. We completed the accounting for the acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2023, which did not result in any material adjustments.
BTX Technologies, Inc.— On January 23, 2023, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of BTX Technologies, Inc., a leading distributor of professional audio, video, data communications, and broadcast equipment. We report BTX Technologies, Inc.’s results within the ADI Global Distribution segment. We completed the accounting for the acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2023, which did not result in any material adjustments.
Teknique Limited—On December 23, 2022, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Teknique Limited, a developer and producer of edge-based, artificial intelligence-enabled video camera solutions. We report Teknique Limited’s results within the Products and Solutions segment. Purchase consideration included cash and a note payable with the former owner. We completed the accounting for the acquisition during the fourth quarter of 2023, which did not result in any material adjustments.
Electronic Custom Distributors, Inc.—On July 5, 2022, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of Electronic Custom Distributors, Inc., a regional distributor of residential audio, video, automation, security, wire, and telecommunication products. We report Electronic Customer Distributors, Inc.’s results within the ADI Global Distribution segment. We completed the accounting for the acquisition during the first quarter of 2023, which did not result in any adjustments.
First Alert, Inc.—On March 31, 2022, we acquired 100% of the outstanding equity of First Alert, Inc. (“First Alert”), a leading provider of home safety products, for consideration of $615 million. We report First Alert, Inc.’s results within the Products and Solutions segment. We completed the accounting for the acquisition during the first quarter of 2023, which did not result in any adjustments.

The business is included within the ADI Global Distribution segment and is expected to strengthen our global distribution portfolio in the data communications category with an assortment of copper and fiber cabling and connectivity, connectors, racking solutions, and network equipment. We completed the accounting for the acquisition during the first quarter of 2023, which did not result in any adjustments.
Pro forma results of operations for the acquisitions that occurred in 2022 and 2023 have not been presented as the impacts on our consolidated financial results were not material.
Note 4. Segment Financial Data
We monitor our operations throughtwo reportable segments: Products and Solutions and ADI Global Distribution, with Corporate reported separately. We identified these segments because we have organized our business and reporting structure into Products and Solutions and ADI Global Distribution. Segment information is evaluated by our Chief Executive Officer who is also the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM uses income from operations to evaluate the performance of the overall business, make investing decisions, and allocate resources predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process and the monthly results review, which includes variance analysis against the forecast, the budget and the prior year. Disaggregated assets by segment are not used to allocate resources or to assess performance of the segments and therefore, segment assets have not been disclosed. Capital expenditures for each segment are reviewed by the CODM. The accounting policies used to derive segment results are substantially the same as those used in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Products and Solutions—Our products and solutions for comfort, energy management, safety, and security benefit from trusted, well-established branded offerings such as Honeywell Home, First Alert, Resideo, Braukmann, BRK, and others. Our offerings include temperature and humidity control, water and air solutions, smoke and carbon monoxide detection home safety products, residential and small business security products, video cameras, other home-related lifestyle convenience solutions, cloud infrastructure, installation and maintenance tools, and related software.
ADI Global Distribution—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. The Snap One business expands our reach in smart-living products, services, and software to professional installers and is included in the ADI Global Distribution segment from the acquisition date of June 14, 2024.
Corporate—On January 1, 2024, certain corporate functions were decentralized into the operating segments aligning with the business strategy. Certain functional expenses related to information technology, finance, tax, business development, and research and development are now recorded within the Products and Solutions and ADI Global Distribution segments. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, $49 million and $51 million of corporate expenses have been reclassified into the Products and Solutions segment while $32 million and $34 million of corporate expenses have been reclassified into the ADI Global Distribution segment, decreasing reported income from operations to conform to the current year presentation.
Corporate expenses include costs related to the corporate functions such as the executive function, legal, accounting, tax, treasury, corporate development, human resources, investor relations, and information technology. Additionally, unallocated amounts for non-operating items such as Reimbursement Agreement expense, interest income (expense), other income (expense), and provision for income taxes are reported within Corporate.

Note 5. Revenue Recognition
Disaggregated Revenue
We havetwo operating segments: Products and Solutions and ADI Global Distribution. Disaggregated revenue information for Products and Solutions is presented by product grouping, while ADI Global Distribution is presented by region.
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. We recognize the majority of our revenue from performance obligations outlined in contracts with our customers that are satisfied at a point in time. Approximately 2% of our revenue is satisfied over time. We have contract liabilities of $40 million as of December 31, 2024, which mainly relate to deferred revenues assumed through the acquisition of Snap One. As of December 31, 2023, contract liabilities were not material. Additionally, contract assets were not material as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The timing of satisfaction of performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment. For some contracts, we may be entitled to receive an advance payment.
We have applied the practical expedient to not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected term ofone year or less or (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue in proportion to the amount we have the right to invoice for services performed.
The following table presents revenue by business line and geographic location, as we believe this presentation best depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of net revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors:

Note 6. Restructuring
The following table details restructuring expense by segment. Restructuring expenses are presented in restructuring, impairment and extinguishment costs within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
| Years Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 |
| Products and Solutions | $14 | $24 | $20 |
| ADI Global Distribution | 19 | 7 | 2 |
| Corporate | 8 | 3 | 4 |
| Restructuring expenses | 41 | 34 | 26 |
| Impairment and extinguishment costs | 11 | 8 | 9 |
| Restructuring, impairment and extinguishment costs | $52 | $42 | $35 |
We took restructuring actions, including capturing synergies from our recent Snap One acquisition, to align our cost structure based on our strategic objectives and our outlook of market conditions. The intent of these actions is to lower costs, increase margins, and position us for long-term growth. We expect to fully execute on our restructuring programs over the next 12 to 36 months, and we may incur future additional restructuring expenses associated with these plans or new plans. We are unable at this time to make a good faith determination of cost estimates, or ranges of cost estimates, associated with future phases of the programs or the total costs we may incur in connection with these programs.
The following table summarizes the status of our restructuring expenses included within accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts associated with impairment and extinguishment costs are not included in the table below because those amounts are charged directly against the relevant assets and debt, respectively.

(1) Usage primarily relates to cash payments and shares issued associated with employee termination costs.
Note 7. Pension Plans
Pension benefits for some U.S. employees are provided through non-contributory, qualified, and non-qualified defined benefit plans, which are currently frozen. We also sponsor defined benefit pension plans for non-U.S. employees in Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, India, Austria, and France.
The following table summarizes the balance sheet impact, including the benefit obligations, assets, and funded status associated with the pension plans:

(2)Settlement accounting was triggered during the year resulting in a remeasurement of our U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan.
(3)The amounts recognized in accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $2 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023. The amounts recognized in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $100 million and $117 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Actuarial losses and prior service costs recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with pension plans at December 31, 2024 and 2023 are immaterial, and therefore, any amortization into net periodic pension cost over the next fiscal year are also immaterial.
The components of net periodic benefit (income) cost, excluding service costs, are included in Other expenses, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 and are as follows:
| U.S. Plans | Non-U.S. Plans | |||||

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | |

| Expected annual rate of compensation increase | 3.5% | 3.5% | 3.2% | 2.7% | 2.6% | 2.4% |
| Actuarial assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost (income) for the year ended December 31: | ||||||
| Discount rate - benefit obligation | 5.7% | 5.0% | 5.2% | 3.0% | 3.0% | 3.4% |
| Interest crediting rate | 6.0% | 6.0% | 6.0% | 0.4% | 2.2% | 2.5% |
| Expected rate of return on plan assets | 5.5% | 5.3% | 5.3% | 1.1% | 3.4% | 1.3% |
| Expected annual rate of compensation increase | 3.5% | 3.5% | 3.5% | 2.5% | 2.7% | 2.6% |
The U.S. pension plan discount rate reflects the rate at which the associated liabilities could be settled at December 31 and was determined from a modeling process that involves matching the expected cash outflows of its benefit plans to a yield curve constructed from a portfolio of high-quality, fixed income debt instruments. We use the single weighted-average yield of this hypothetical portfolio as a discount rate benchmark.
The expected rate of return on U.S. plan assets of 5.5% is a long-term rate based on historical plan asset returns over varying long-term periods combined with current market conditions and broad asset mix considerations. We review the expected rate of return on an annual basis and revise it as appropriate. For non-U.S. benefit plans, actuarial assumptions reflect economic and market factors relevant to each country.
The following amounts relate to pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations exceeding the fair value of plan assets at December 31, 2024 and 2023.
| U.S. Plans | Non-U.S. Plans | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 |
| Projected benefit obligation | $209 | $234 | $97 | $106 |
| Accumulated benefit obligation | $207 | $230 | $89 | $96 |
| Fair value of plan assets | $181 | $197 | $23 | $25 |
The amounts related to pension plans with projected benefit obligations exceeding the fair value of the plan assets at December 31, 2024 and 2023 are not materially different from the table above.
We utilized a third-party investment management firm to serve as our Outsourced Chief Investment Officer; however, we have appointed an internal investment committee that monitors adherence to the investment guidelines the firm will follow. We employ an investment approach whereby a mix of equities and fixed income investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of plan liabilities and plan funded status. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of equity and fixed income investments. Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks, as well as growth, value, and small and large capitalizations. Other assets such as real estate and hedge funds may be used to improve portfolio diversification. The non-U.S. investment policies are different for each country as local regulations, funding requirements, and financial and tax considerations are part of the funding and investment allocation process in each country.
A majority of the U.S. pension plan assets as of December 31, 2024 do not have published pricing and are valued using Net Asset Value (“NAV”). As a practical expedient, assets valued using NAV have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. NAV and fair value by asset category are as follows for December 31, 2024 and 2023:
| U.S. Plans NAV | ||

Government bonds and corporate bonds held as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are valued either by using pricing models, bids provided by brokers or dealers, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows and as such include adjustments for certain risks that may not be observable such as credit and liquidity risks. Real estate, insurance contracts, and other investments as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and are classified as Level 3 as there are neither quoted prices nor other observable inputs for pricing. Insurance contracts are issued by insurance companies and are valued at cash surrender value, which approximates the contract fair value. Other investments consist of a collective pension foundation that is valued and allocated by the plan administrator.
We utilize the services of retirement and investment consultants to actively manage the assets of our pension plans. We have established asset allocation targets and investment guidelines based on the guidance of the consultants. Our target allocations are 37% fixed income investments,33% global equity investments,12% global real estate investments, and 18% cash and other investments.
Our general funding policy for qualified defined benefit pension plans is to contribute amounts at least sufficient to satisfy regulatory funding standards. In 2024, we were not required nor did we make any material contributions to the U.S. pension plans and do not expect to make any material contributions in 2025.
Benefit payments are expected to be approximately $18 million per year through 2029 and $82 million in aggregate from 2030 to 2034 for our U.S. pension plans and $3 million per year through 2028, $6 million in 2029, and $23 million in aggregate from 2030 to 2034 for our non-U.S. pension plans.
Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
The Stock Incentive Plan, which consists of the Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan of Resideo Technologies, Inc. and its Affiliates and the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Resideo Technologies, Inc., provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock, and other stock-based awards.
During 2024, the Stock Incentive Plan was amended to increase the number of shares of our common stock available for issuance by 3.5 million shares and an additional 4.8 million shares associated with the Snap One acquisition resulting in an aggregate of 27.8 million shares available for issuance. At December 31, 2024,9.2 million shares of our common stock are available to be granted under the Stock Incentive Plan.
Our stock-based compensation expense, net of tax was $64 million, $43 million, and $48 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022.
Restricted Stock Unit and Performance Stock Unit Activity
RSUs are issued to certain key employees and to non-employee directors. These awards entitle the holder to receive one share of our common stock for each unit upon vesting. RSUs typically become fully vested over athree-year period following the grant date; however, RSU awards granted to our non-employee directors have aone-year service period. We measure stock-based compensation expense based on the estimated fair value of the award at the grant date.
PSUs are issued to certain key employees. These awards entitle the holder to receive a specified number of our common stock, dependent on our financial metrics or market conditions, for each unit upon vesting. PSUs typically become vested at the end of athree-year period and are payable in our common stock. PSUs granted in 2023 and 2024 were issued with the shares awarded per unit being based on the difference in performance between the total stockholders’ return of our common stock against that of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. PSUs granted prior to 2023 were issued with the shares awarded per unit being based on the difference in performance between the total stockholders’ return of our common stock against that of the S&P 400 Industrials Index.
The fair values estimated from the Monte Carlo simulation for PSUs issued during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were calculated using the following assumptions:
| Years Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|

Stock Option Activity
Stock option awards entitle the holder to purchase shares of our common stock at a specific price when the options vest. Stock options typically vest over 3 years from the date of grant and expire 7 years from the grant date. There were no stock options granted to employees during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, 2023, or 2022.

A&R Senior Credit Facilities
The A&R Credit Agreement provides for an initial seven-year senior secured Term B loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $950 million with a maturity date of February 2028. In March 2022, we amended the A&R Credit Agreement adding $200 million in additional term loans. In June 2023, we amended the A&R Credit Agreement to replace the interest rate reference rate of LIBOR with the secured overnight financing rate. Included in the A&R Term B Facility is afive-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate capacity of $500 million (the A&R Revolving Credit Facility and, together with the A&R Term B Facility, the “A&R Senior Credit Facilities”).
In May 2024, the A&R Term B Facility was amended to (i) reduce the interest rate margin from 2.25% to 2.00%, (ii) eliminate the SOFR credit spread adjustment, and (iii) reduce the SOFR floor from 0.50% to 0%.
In June 2024, we further amended the A&R Credit Agreement to add $600 million of term loans with a maturity date of May 2031 to partially finance our acquisition of Snap One. We also extended the term of our A&R Revolving Credit Facility for a newfive-year term.
In July 2024, we issued $600 million in aggregate principal of 6.500% Senior Notes due 2032 (“Senior Notes due 2032”). The Senior Notes due 2032 mature on July 15, 2032 and are senior unsecured obligations guaranteed by the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries. The issue price of the Senior Notes due 2032 was equal to 100% of the principal amount. The net proceeds from the Senior Notes due 2032 were used to repay $596 million principal amount of outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s A&R Term B Facility.
In December 2024, the A&R Term B Facility was further amended to reduce the interest rate margin from 2.00% to 1.75%.
We are obligated to make quarterly principal payments throughout the term of the A&R Term B Facility according to the amortization provisions in the A&R Credit Agreement. In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the A&R Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on the unused portion of the
A&R Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the A&R Credit Agreement can generally be prepaid at our option without premium or penalty; however, as part of the December 2024 repricing, we would be required to pay a 1% premium if we voluntarily prepay the term loans within the first six months following the repricing. Up to $75 million may be utilized under the A&R Revolving Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit to us or any of our subsidiaries.
The A&R Credit Agreement contains certain financial maintenance covenants and affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type. All obligations under the A&R Senior Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by us and substantially all of the direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of ours that are organized under the laws of the U.S. (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The A&R Senior Credit Facilities are secured on a first priority basis by the equity interests of each direct subsidiary of ours, as well as the tangible and intangible personal property and material real property of ours and each of the Guarantors.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the weighted average interest rate for the A&R Term B Facility, excluding the effect of the interest rate swaps, was 6.13% and 7.72%, respectively and there wereno borrowings andno letters of credit issued under the A&R Revolving Credit Facility.
We entered into certain interest rate swap agreements in March 2021, which were amended in June 2023, to transition from a hedge of LIBOR-based cash flows to a hedge of SOFR-based cash flows. These interest rate swap agreements effectively convert a portion of our variable-rate debt to fixed rate debt. Additionally, we assumed an interest rate cap in connection with the Snap One acquisition, which caps the interest on a portion of our variable rate debt and acts as a cash flow hedge of our variable rate debt. Refer to Note 12.Derivative Financial Instrumentsto Consolidated Financial Statements.
Senior Notes
In August 2021, we issued $300 million in principal amount of 4.00% Senior Notes due 2029 (“Senior Notes due 2029”).
As noted above, in July 2024, we issued $600 million in aggregate principal of Senior Notes due 2032. We may, at our option, redeem the Senior Notes due 2032 in whole (at any time) or in part (from time to time), at varying prices based on the timing of the redemption.
The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Resideo guaranteed by Resideo’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries and rank equally with all of Resideo’s senior unsecured debt and senior to all of Resideo’s subordinated debt. The Senior Notes limit us and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional secured indebtedness; enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions; incur liens; and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to a number of limitations and exceptions. Additionally, upon certain events constituting a change of control together with a ratings downgrade, the holders of the Senior Notes have the right to require us to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to (but not including) the date of purchase.
Note 12. Derivative Financial Instruments
In March 2021, we entered into eight interest rate swap agreements (“Swap Agreements”) with several financial institutions for a combined notional value of $560 million. The Swap Agreements were entered into to reduce the consolidated interest rate risk associated with variable rate long-term debt and designated as cash flow hedges.
During 2023, we modified two of the Swap Agreements, each with a notional value of $70 million, by blending the asset positions of the original interest rate swap agreements into new interest rate swap agreements and extending the term of our hedged positions to February 2027. The new pay-fixed interest rate swap agreements qualify as hybrid instruments in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging, consisting of financing components and embedded at-market derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges. The amounts remaining in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the modified interest rate swap agreements were amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the effective period of the original interest rate swap agreements, or May 2024. The financing components are accounted for at amortized cost over the life of the swap while the embedded at-market derivatives are accounted for at fair value. We also amended the Swap Agreements to transition from a hedge of LIBOR-based cash flows to a hedge of SOFR-based cash flows with a minimum rate of 0.39% per annum to a base fixed weighted average rate of 1.13% over the remaining terms. We designated the Swap Agreements as cash flow hedges of the variability in expected cash outflows for interest payments.
In connection with our acquisition of Snap One, we assumed an interest rate cap which has a current notional value of $344 million and a strike rate of 4.79%, which effectively caps SOFR on the notional amount at that rate (the “Interest Rate Cap”). We are required to pay a premium of $7 million at the maturity date of December 31, 2025. The Interest Rate Cap qualifies as a hybrid instrument consisting of a financing component and an embedded at-market derivative that was designated as a cash flow hedge on our A&R Term B Facility as of the Snap One acquisition date.
The Swap Agreements and Interest Rate Cap (referred to collectively as “interest rate derivatives”) are adjusted to fair value on a quarterly basis. The following tables summarizes the fair value and presentation of derivative instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as well as the changes in fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss:
| Fair Value of Derivative Assets | ||||

| Gains reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income | Interest expense, net | (1) | (42) |
| Gains recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, end of year | $8 | $25 | |
Unrealized gains expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss in the next 12 months are estimated to be $7 million as of December 31, 2024.
Note 13. Fair Value
The estimated fair value of our financial instruments held, and when applicable, issued to finance our operations, is summarized below. Certain estimates and judgments are required to develop the fair value amounts. The fair value amounts shown below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we would realize upon disposition nor do they indicate our intent or ability to dispose of the financial instrument. There were no material changes in the methodologies used in our valuation practices as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The fair values of long-term debt instruments were determined using quoted market prices in inactive markets or discounted cash flows based upon current observable market interest rates and therefore were classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy.
The following table provides a summary of the carrying amount and fair value of outstanding debt:
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |||

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there wereno borrowings andno letters of credit issued under the A&R Revolving Credit Facility. Refer to Note 11. Long-Term Debtto Consolidated Financial Statements.
Foreign Currency Risk Management—We conduct business on a multinational basis in a wide variety of foreign currencies. We are exposed to market risks from changes in currency exchange rates. These exposures may impact future earnings and/or operating cash flows. The exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from international trade transactions, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, and international financing activities between subsidiaries. We rely on natural offsets to address these market risk exposures. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had no forward or option hedging contracts.
Interest Rate Risk—We have exposure to movements in interest rates associated with cash and borrowings. We may enter into various interest rate protection agreements in order to limit the impact of movements in interest rates.
The following table provides a summary of the carrying amount and fair value of our interest rate derivatives:
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |||

There are no Level 1 or Level 3 assets or liabilities for the periods presented above. The fair values of derivative financial instruments have been determined based on market value equivalents at the balance sheet date, taking into account the current interest rate environment and therefore were classified as Level 2 measurements in the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 12. Derivative Financial Instrumentsto Consolidated Financial Statements.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental Matters
We are subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign government requirements relating to the protection of the environment and accrue costs related to environmental matters when it is probable that we have incurred a liability related to a contaminated site and the amount can be reasonably estimated. We believe that, as a general matter, our policies, practices, and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and personal injury and that our handling, manufacture, use and disposal of hazardous substances are in accordance with environmental and safety laws and regulations. We have incurred remedial response and voluntary cleanup costs for site contamination and are a party to claims associated with environmental and safety matters, including products containing hazardous substances. Additional claims and costs involving environmental matters are likely to continue to arise in the future.
Environment-related expenses for sites owned and operated by us are presented within cost of goods sold for operating sites. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, environmental expenses related to these operating sites were not material. Liabilities for environmental costs were $22 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Obligations Payable Under Indemnification Agreements
The Reimbursement Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnification Agreements”) are further described below.
Reimbursement Agreement
In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into a reimbursement agreement, pursuant to which we have an obligation to make cash payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of payments for certain Honeywell environmental-liability payments (the “Reimbursement Agreement”), which include amounts billed (payments), less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts relating to such liabilities, and less 90% of the net proceeds received by Honeywell in connection with (i) affirmative claims relating to such liabilities, (ii) contributions by other parties relating to such liabilities and (iii) certain property sales (the recoveries). The Reimbursement Agreement extends until the earlier of (1) December 31, 2043; or (2) December 31 of the third consecutive anniversary where the annual reimbursement obligation (including accrued amounts) has been less than $25 million. While the amount payable by us in respect of such liabilities arising in any given year is subject to a cap of $140 million under the Reimbursement Agreement, the estimated liability for resolution of pending and future environmental-related liabilities recorded on our balance sheets are calculated as if we were responsible for 100% of the environmental-liability payments associated with certain sites.
Payments in respect of the liabilities arising in a given year will be made quarterly throughout such year on the basis of an estimate of the liabilities and recoveries provided by Honeywell. Following the end of any such year, Honeywell will provide us with a calculation of the amount of payments and the recoveries actually received.
Payment amounts under the Reimbursement Agreement will be deferred to the extent that a specified event of default has occurred and is continuing under certain indebtedness, including under the A&R Credit Agreement, or the payment thereof causes us not to be compliant with certain financial covenants in certain indebtedness, including the A&R Credit Agreement on a pro forma basis, including the maximum total leverage ratio (ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA, which excludes any amounts owed to Honeywell under the Reimbursement Agreement), and the minimum interest coverage ratio.
On February 12, 2021, the covenants in Exhibit G of the Reimbursement Agreement were amended and restated in their entirety to substantially conform to the affirmative and negative covenants contained in the A&R Credit Agreement.
Tax Matters Agreement
In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into the Tax Matters Agreement with Honeywell, pursuant to which we are responsible and will indemnify Honeywell for certain taxes, including certain income taxes, sales taxes, VAT, and payroll taxes, relating to the business for all periods, including periods prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off. In addition, the Tax Matters Agreement addresses the allocation of liability for taxes that are incurred as a result of restructuring activities undertaken to effectuate the Spin-Off.
We are required to indemnify Honeywell for any taxes resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off and related internal transactions to qualify for their intended tax treatment under U.S. federal, state and local income tax law, as well as foreign tax law, where such taxes result from our action or omission not permitted by the Separation and Distribution Agreement between Honeywell and Resideo dated as of October 19, 2018 or the Tax Matters Agreement.
The following table summarizes information concerning the Reimbursement and Tax Matter Agreements’ liabilities:
| (in millions) | Reimbursement Agreement | Tax Matters Agreement | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginning balance, January 1, 2023 | $614 | $106 | $720 |

| Payments to Honeywell | (140) | (4) | $(144) |
| Balance as of December 31, 2024 | $723 | $91 | $814 |
The liabilities related to the Reimbursement and Tax Matter Agreements are included in the following balance sheet accounts:
| Years Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | 2024 | 2023 |
| Accrued liabilities | $140 | $140 |
| Obligations payable under Indemnification Agreements | 674 | 609 |
| Total indemnification liabilities | $814 | $749 |
For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, net expenses related to the Reimbursement Agreement were $211 million, $178 million and $157 million respectively, and are recorded in other expense, net.
We do not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of indemnification liabilities to be recorded upon future completion of studies, litigation, or settlements, and neither the timing nor the amount of the ultimate costs associated with such indemnification liability payments can be determined although they could be material to our consolidated results of operations and operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid.
Independent of our payments under the Reimbursement Agreement, we will have ongoing liability for certain environmental claims, which are part of our ongoing business.
Trademark Agreement
We entered into a 40-year Trademark Agreement with Honeywell that authorizes our use of the Honeywell Home trademark in the operation of our business for the advertising, sale and distribution of certain licensed products. In exchange, we pay Honeywell a royalty fee of 1.5% based on net revenue related to such licensed products, which is recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, royalty fees were $18 million, $18 million, and $23 million, respectively.
Other Matters
We are subject to lawsuits, investigations and disputes arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability, acquisitions and divestitures, employee matters, intellectual property, and environmental, health, and safety matters. We recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. We continually assess the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of possible losses, based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. No such matters are material to our financial statements.
Warranties and Guarantees
In the normal course of business, we issue product warranties and product performance guarantees. We accrue for the estimated cost of product warranties and product performance guarantees based on contract terms and historical experience at the time of sale. Adjustments to initial obligations for warranties and guarantees are made as changes to the obligations become reasonably estimable. Product warranties and product performance guarantees are included in accrued and other liabilities. The following table summarizes information concerning recorded obligations for product warranties and product performance guarantees:
| December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 |

(1)A valuation allowance brings the net deferred tax effect of the allowed step-up of intangible assets recorded under Switzerland tax reform to the amount more likely than not to be realized.
Valuation allowance
In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We evaluate our ability to realize the tax benefits associated with deferred tax assets by analyzing the relative impact of all the available positive and negative evidence regarding our forecasted taxable income using both historical and projected future operating results, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in prior carry-back years (if permitted), and the availability of tax planning strategies. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of certain types of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. In making this assessment, we consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, our ability to carry back the deferred tax asset, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies. A valuation allowance is recorded in each jurisdiction when it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax asset will not be realized. Changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances typically impact income tax expense.
We maintain a valuation allowance of $86 million against a portion of deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances principally relate to foreign net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2024, we have deferred tax assets relating to foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $53 million. These tax losses can be carried forward to offset the income tax liabilities on future income in these countries. Cumulative tax losses of $48 million can be carried forward indefinitely, while the remaining $5 million of tax losses must be used during tax years 2024 to 2044.
The rollforward of the valuation allowance on deferred taxes is as follows for the periods indicated:
| Years Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 |
| Beginning balance | $75 | $63 | $63 |
| Additions / (Subtractions) | 11 | 12 | — |
| Ending balance | $86 | $75 | $63 |
As of December 31, 2024, our total undistributed earnings of foreign affiliates were $1.8 billion, of which $1.4 billion was not considered indefinitely reinvested. While these earnings would not be subject to incremental U.S. tax, if we were to actually distribute these earnings, they could be subject to additional foreign income taxes and/or withholding taxes payable in foreign jurisdictions. Thus, we provide for foreign income taxes payable upon future distributions of the earnings not considered indefinitely reinvested annually. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the tax charge related to earnings that are not considered indefinitely reinvested is not material. Determination of the unrecognized deferred foreign income tax liability related to these undistributed earnings is not practicable due to the complexities associated with this hypothetical calculation.
Uncertain tax positions
The table below sets forth the changes to our gross unrecognized tax benefit as a result of uncertain tax positions, excluding interest and penalties for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022. We do not anticipate that the total unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months.
| Years Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (in millions) | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 |
| Unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year | $22 | $22 | $16 |
| Decreases related to positions taken on items from prior years | — | (1) | — |
| Increases related to positions taken in the current year | 8 | 5 | 6 |
| Decreases due to expiration of statutes of limitations | (6) | (4) | — |
| Unrecognized tax benefits at end of year | $24 | $22 | $22 |
Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, are potential benefits of $24 million and $22 million, respectively, that if recognized would affect the effective tax rate.
We report accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized no net expense for interest and penalties for unrecognized tax benefits and had net accumulated accrued interest and penalties of $2 million as of December 31, 2024. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized a net expense for interest and penalties of $1 million relating to unrecognized tax benefits and had net accumulated accrued interest and penalties of $3 million as of December 31, 2023.
Open tax periods
We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, all states, and various local and foreign jurisdictions. Our U.S. federal tax returns are no longer subject to income tax examinations for taxable years before 2021. With limited exception, state, local, and foreign income tax returns for taxable years before 2020 are no longer subject to examination.
Note 18. Earnings Per Share
The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share follows:

| Less: preferred stock dividends | 19 | — | — |
| Less: undistributed income allocated to preferred stockholders | 6 | — | — |
| Net income available to common stockholders | $91 | $210 | $283 |

| Earnings per common share: | |||
| Basic | $0.62 | $1.43 | $1.94 |
| Diluted | $0.61 | $1.42 | $1.90 |
Diluted earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the year plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method and the average market price of our common stock for the period.
The following potentially dilutive instruments, presented as a weighted average of the instruments outstanding, were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per common share because their effect would have been antidilutive, and in the case of certain PSUs, the contingency has not been satisfied.

Note 20. Stockholders’ Equity
Share Repurchase Program
On August 3, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $150 million of our common stock over an unlimited time period (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Under the Share Repurchase Program, we may repurchase common stock from time-to-time through various methods, including in open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, derivative transactions, or otherwise, certain of which may be made pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The Share Repurchase Program can be modified or terminated by our Board of Directors at any time.
The timing, as well as the number and value of common stock repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program, will be determined at our discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including our assessment of the intrinsic value and market price of our common stock, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with our debt and other agreements, applicable legal requirements, the nature of other investment opportunities available to us, and other considerations.
During the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased 0.1 million shares of common stock in the open market at a total cost of $1 million. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased 2.6 million of common stock in the open market at a total cost of $41 million. Common stock repurchases are recorded at cost and presented as a reduction to stockholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $108 million of authorized repurchases remaining under the Share Repurchase Program.
Preferred Stock
On June 14, 2024, in connection with our acquisition of Snap One, we issued 500,000 shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) to an entity affiliated with the investment firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC (“CD&R”) for an aggregate purchase price of $500 million pursuant to an investment agreement dated April 15, 2024. In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock, we incurred direct and incremental expenses of $18 million which reduce the Preferred Stock carrying value.
The Preferred Stock is convertible perpetual participating preferred stock of the Company, with an initial conversion price equal to $26.92, and accrues dividends at a rate of 7% per annum, payable in cash or in kind. The Preferred Stock votes on an as-converted basis together with common stockholders. The Preferred Stock had an aggregate liquidation preference of $500 million as of December 31, 2024. Preferred Stock dividends accumulated during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 were $19 million. The Company paid $12 million of dividends to preferred stockholders in cash during twelve months ended December 31, 2024, and Preferred Stock dividends payable totaling $7 million were included in accrued liabilities as of December 31, 2024.
The Preferred Stock can be converted into our common stock at the holder’s option at any time. We can also force conversion of all (but not less than all) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock if at any time our common stock trading price exceeds 200% of the then-effective conversion price for at least 20 out of 30 trailing trading days. Following the third anniversary of the closing date, we have the option to redeem the Preferred Stock for an aggregate redemption price equal to two times the sum of the Accumulated Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) plus any interim accrued and unpaid dividends (calculated at 1X instead of 2X) on such share of Preferred Stock in effect at the time of redemption. In the event of a change of control, we will have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to 150% of the sum of the Accumulated Amount plus any interim accrued and unpaid dividends (calculated at 100% instead of 150%) on such share of Preferred Stock in effect at the time of such purchase.
