Item 1A. Risk Factors
We face a variety of risks that are inherent in our business and our industry, including operational, legal and regulatory risks. Such risks could cause our actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements, expectations and historical trends. There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as reflected in the revised risk factors below.
As Previously Disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the period ended March 29, 2025
Enhanced tariff, import/export restrictions, or other trade barriers may have an adverse impact on global economic conditions.
We are subject to certain laws and regulations affecting our international operations which, among other things, provide certain preferential duties and tariffs for qualifying imports subject to compliance with the applicable rules of origin, and other requirements. There have been, and continue to be, uncertainties with respect to the global economy and trade relations between the U.S. and other countries globally. Implementation of more restrictive trade policies or the renegotiation of existing U.S. trade agreements or trade agreements of other countries where we sell, procure, or manufacture large quantities of products and services or procure supplies and other materials incorporated into our products could negatively impact our business results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition. Tariffs, sanctions and other barriers to trade could adversely affect the business of our customers and suppliers, which could in turn negatively impact our net revenue and results of operations. In 2025, the Trump administration implemented or announced tariffs and other trade actions against countries where we manufacture, source, or sell goods including China, Vietnam, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Canada. Given these pronouncements, there is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the U.S. and these countries with respect to trade policies, treaties, tariffs, and customs duties and taxes. If tariffs or duties are expanded, increased, or interpreted by a court or governmental agency to apply to more of our products, then our exposure on such imported products and components could be significant. Additionally, new trade or market access barriers could disrupt our operations. These impacts could have a material effect on our financial results. We and our distribution business suppliers import goods, components, and materials into the U.S. from certain of the regions where such tariffs may apply.
In addition, the U.S. federal government, as well as other governments including the United Kingdom and European Union, have imposed certain restrictions on the licensing, use and import, and export of certain surveillance, networking, telecommunications, and other equipment manufactured by certain of our suppliers based in China for our ADI Global Distribution segment, which may require us to find additional sources of end-user products and result in higher costs. We have in the past had inquiries from the U.S. federal government regarding these sales of certain Chinese made products in the U.S., which inquiries could impact our business reputation. We cannot predict the extent to which the U.S. or other countries will impose new or additional quotas, duties, tariffs, taxes, or other similar restrictions upon the import or export of our products in the future, nor can we predict future trade policy or the terms of any renegotiated trade agreements and their impact on our business. The continuing adoption or expansion of trade restrictions, the occurrence of a trade war, or other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements or policies has the potential to adversely impact demand for our products, our costs, our customers, our suppliers, and the U.S. economy, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
New Risk Factors
We cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in completing the termination of the Indemnification Agreement.
On July 30, 2025, we entered into the Termination Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Termination Agreement, we will make a cash payment of $1,590 million to Honeywell, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2025. Upon this payment, the Indemnification Agreement will be fully terminated, we will no longer be required to make any further payments to Honeywell under the Indemnification Agreement, and the associated affirmative and negative covenants will no longer apply. To fulfill our obligation, we intend to use the proceeds from newly raised debt financing as contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, together with cash on hand. To the extent that we are not able to raise the necessary financing by August 29, 2025, Honeywell may cancel the Termination Agreement and reinstate the Indemnification Agreement. In the event we do not raise the necessary financing by October 30, 2025, we also have the right to cancel the Termination Agreement and reinstate the Indemnification Agreement. Upon termination by either party, we will owe Honeywell $100 million in liquidated damages. While we have entered into the Debt Commitment Letter, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the necessary financing to enable us to fund the termination payment within the time period permitted by the Termination Agreement.
Even if we are able to complete the termination of the Indemnification Agreement, we expect to incur a significant amount of debt to finance the termination payment, which will significantly increase our total debt outstanding and potentially exacerbate the risks relating to having significant debt outstanding as disclosed in the “Risk Factors” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. For example,“The terms of our debt documents may impose restrictions on our business and our operations require substantial capital and we may not be able to obtain additional capital that we need in the future on favorable terms or at all.”
We cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in completing the proposed spin-off of ADI Global Distribution.
We cannot predict the outcome of the process we have begun to pursue a tax-free spin-off of ADI Global Distribution. We cannot provide any assurances regarding the timeframe for completing the ADI Spin-Off, the allocation of assets and liabilities between Resideo and ADI Global Distribution, that the other conditions of the ADI Spin-Off will be met, or that the ADI Spin-Off will be completed at all. Furthermore, the ADI Spin-Off may present financial and operational risks, including (1) the diversion of management attention from existing core businesses, (2) adverse effects (the loss of existing clients and the difficulties associated with securing new clients) from the announcement of the planned or potential activity, and (3) the challenges associated with separating personnel and financial and other systems.
A spin-off of ADI Global Distribution could adversely affect our earnings and cash flows.
ADI Global Distribution contributed 65% of our revenue and 34% of our operating income during the six months ended June 28, 2025 as well as a significant portion of our cash flows. We have begun to pursue a tax-free spin-off of ADI Global Distribution. Although there can be no assurance that this process will result in a consummated transaction, any separation of all or a portion of ADI Global Distribution’s business could adversely affect our earnings and cash flows.
