WATSCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2026
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
Basis of Consolidation
Watsco, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Watsco,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated in Florida in 1956 and is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry in North America. The accompanying June 30, 2026 interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included herein. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include (i) the accounts of Watsco and its wholly owned subsidiaries, (ii) the accounts of
The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026. Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment, and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, profitability can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns, particularly during the Summer and Winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is typically highest in the second and third quarters, and demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the first and fourth quarters. Demand related to new construction throughout most of the markets we serve tends to be fairly evenly distributed throughout the year and depends largely on housing completions and related weather and economic conditions.
Short-Term Cash Investments
Short-term cash investments consist of certificates of deposit.
Equity Method Investments
Investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are included in investment in unconsolidated entity in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets. Under this method of accounting, our proportionate share of the net income or loss of the investee is included in other income in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income. The excess, if any, of the carrying amount of our investment over our ownership percentage in the underlying net assets of the investee is attributed to certain fair value adjustments with the remaining portion recognized as goodwill.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Significant estimates include valuation reserves for accounts receivable, net realizable value adjustments to inventories, income taxes, reserves related to loss contingencies and the valuation of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, and long-lived assets. While we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from such estimates.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In July 2025, the FASB issued amended guidance to provide the option to elect a practical expedient for the application of the expected credit loss model. Under this practical expedient, an entity can assume that the current conditions it has applied in determining credit loss allowances for current accounts receivable and current contract assets remain unchanged for the remaining life of those assets. This

amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
Expense Disaggregation
In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance that requires entities to disclose additional information about certain expenses in the notes to the financial statements. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
Internal Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued updated guidance on the accounting for internal use software costs. The updated guidance removes all references to project stages to be neutral to different software development methods and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
Interim Reporting
In December 2025, the FASB issued guidance that clarifies the scope and requirements for interim financial statement disclosures. The guidance creates a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose in interim periods any event or change since the previous year end that has had a material effect on the entity. This guidance may be applied prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for interim reporting periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

The results of operations of these acquisitions have been included in the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements from their respective dates of acquisition. The pro forma effect of these acquisitions was not deemed significant to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.
We enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to offset the earnings impact that foreign exchange rate fluctuations would otherwise have on certain monetary liabilities that are denominated in nonfunctional currencies.
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We have entered into foreign currency forward contracts that are either not designated as hedges or did not qualify for hedge accounting. These derivative instruments were effective economic hedges for all of the periods presented. The fair value gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in earnings as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. We had only one foreign currency forward contract not designated as a hedging instrument at June 30, 2026, the total notional value of which was $

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used for these assets and liabilities, as well as the level of input used to measure fair value:
Certificates of deposit – these investments consist of certificates of deposit with varying maturities. We classify these investments within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy because fair value is based on indirectly observable market inputs.
Equity securities – these investments are exchange-traded equity securities. Fair values for these investments are based on closing stock prices from active markets and are therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Private equity securities – other investments in which fair value inputs are unobservable and are therefore classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative financial instruments – these derivatives are foreign currency forward contracts. See Note 6. Fair value is based on observable market inputs, such as forward rates in active markets; therefore, we classify these derivatives within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

Litigation, Claims, and Assessments
We are involved in litigation incidental to the operation of our business. We vigorously defend all matters in which we or our subsidiaries are named defendants and, for insurable losses, maintain significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments that may affect us. Although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage and the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, based on the current information available, we do not believe the ultimate liability associated with any known claims or litigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Since 2009, we have been a party to an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai, China (“Gree”) that, among other things, provides us with exclusive distribution rights for certain Gree-branded products in the United States. A dispute has arisen between Gree and Watsco as to whether the automatic renewal provisions of the Agreement extended the term of the Agreement for an additional 10 years before the prior term was to end in January 2026.
In March 2026, Gree filed a complaint for declaratory judgment in Florida’s Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, seeking a judicial determination that the Agreement did not renew for a successive term and has in fact been terminated. In April 2026, we filed our answer and affirmative defenses to Gree’s complaint, and we interposed counterclaims against Gree to enforce our rights under the Agreement, including seeking a judicial determination that the Agreement renewed for an additional 10-year period and remains in full force and effect, and an award for any damages resulting from Gree’s improper purported termination or non-renewal of the Agreement and Gree’s other related acts. We intend to vigorously prosecute our counterclaims and affirm our position that the Agreement automatically renewed for an additional 10-year period, and to vigorously defend against Gree’s assertion that the Agreement was not renewed.
Any material interruption of the business arrangement with Gree under the Agreement could temporarily affect certain of our subsidiaries and may have an adverse impact on our consolidated financial results. For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2026, less than
Self-Insurance
Self-insurance reserves are maintained relative to company-wide casualty insurance and health benefit programs. The level of exposure from catastrophic events is limited by the purchase of stop-loss and aggregate liability reinsurance coverage. When estimating the self-insurance liabilities and related reserves, management considers several factors, which include historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors, and valuations provided by independent third-party actuaries. Management reviews its assumptions with its independent third-party actuaries to evaluate whether the self-insurance reserves are adequate. If actual claims or adverse development of loss reserves occur and exceed these estimates, additional reserves may be required. Reserves in the amounts of $

Company Overview
Watsco, Inc. was incorporated in Florida in 1956, and, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “Watsco,” the “Company,” or “we,” “us,” or “our”) is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration equipment, and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry in North America. At June 30, 2026, we operated from 723 locations in 43 U.S. States, Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico with additional market coverage on an export basis to portions of Latin America and the Caribbean.
Revenues primarily consist of sales of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration equipment, and related parts and supplies. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of selling expenses, the largest components of which are salaries, commissions, and marketing expenses that are variable and correlate to changes in sales. Other significant selling, general and administrative expenses relate to the operation of warehouse and distribution facilities, including a fleet of trucks and forklifts, and facility rent, a majority of which we operate under non-cancelable operating leases.
Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment, and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, profitability can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns, particularly during the Summer and Winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is typically highest in the second and third quarters, and demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the first and fourth quarters. Demand related to the new construction sectors throughout most of the markets we serve tends to be fairly evenly distributed throughout the year and depends largely on housing completions and related weather and economic conditions.
Tariffs
We continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions and developments in U.S. trade policy, which have implications for the various OEMs and vendors that comprise our supply chain. Many HVAC equipment and component manufacturers, including Carrier Global Corporation (“Carrier”) and Rheem Manufacturing Company, source component parts from China and Mexico or assemble significant portions of residential and light-commercial products in Mexico, exposing them to tariffs and inflationary pressures.
In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating the broad-based tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, providing potential relief from certain tariffs. In April 2026, the Trump Administration modified the Section 232 tariff framework so that tariffs on many imported aluminum, steel, and copper products are calculated on the full customs value of covered products rather than on only the value of the underlying metal content, which in some cases increased the amount of tariffs incurred by OEMs. The Trump Administration further modified the Section 232 tariff regime in June 2026 by temporarily reducing the tariff rate applicable to certain residential HVAC systems and components that qualify as covered derivative products from 25% to 15%, while also making other changes to product coverage and eligibility requirements. Although these changes may provide targeted relief for certain HVAC products, the broader tariff environment remains dynamic and may continue to contribute to cost pressures across portions of our supply chain.
Our OEM partners and suppliers continue to evaluate and implement various pricing actions that impact the cost of the products we procure. To mitigate these effects, we have implemented pricing actions where appropriate to respond to changes in the cost of the products we procure and continue to leverage our technology platforms and operating capabilities to respond efficiently to changing market conditions; however, it may not be possible to pass all of our OEM’s pricing actions through to our customers. While the long-term impact of tariffs and related trade measures remains uncertain, we believe our focus on the HVAC replacement market remains a stabilizing factor, given the essential nature of these products in providing comfort and healthy environments for homeowners and businesses. However, if additional tariffs, trade restrictions, amendments to existing trade agreements, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or further tariff increases on goods sourced from or assembled in Mexico and China, significantly raise our product costs, then we may need to increase our prices further, which could lead to reduced sales, customer loss, and potential harm to our business. We will continue to actively monitor these developments and their implications for our supply chain, product costs, pricing strategy, and overall operations.
Climate Change and Reductions in CO2e Emissions
We believe that our business plays an important and significant role in the drive to lower CO2e emissions. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”), heating and air conditioning accounts for roughly half of household energy consumption in the U.S. As such, replacing older, less efficient HVAC systems with higher efficiency systems is one of the most meaningful steps homeowners can take to reduce their electricity costs and carbon footprints.
17 of 28
Table of Contents
The overwhelming majority of new HVAC systems that we sell replace systems that likely operate below current minimum efficiency standards in the U.S. and may use more harmful refrigerants that have been, or are being, phased out. As consumers replace HVAC systems with new, higher-efficiency systems, homeowners will consume less energy, save costs, and reduce their carbon footprints.
The sale of high-efficiency systems has long been a focus of ours, and we have invested in tools and technology intended to capture an increasingly richer sales mix over time. In addition, regulatory mandates will likely periodically increase the required minimum Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio rating, referred to as SEER, thus providing a catalyst for increased sales of higher-efficiency systems. The Company expects these regulations to reduce the carbon footprint of end-users and increase average selling prices over time, subject to customary risks of quality, availability, and performance of new HVAC systems.
The American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020 granted the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) the authority to regulate hydrofluorocarbon (“HFC”) refrigerants. Although HFCs were introduced as alternatives to ozone-depleting substances like chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons, they are now recognized greenhouse gases that impact climate change due to their high global warming potential (“GWP”). Consequently, a required 85% phasedown of HFC production and consumption over a 15-year period commenced on January 1, 2022 (40% of which was completed in 2024). Further regulations were implemented that (1) restricted the use of high-GWP refrigerants in HVAC systems manufactured after December 31, 2024 (the “410A Systems”) and (2) established a timeline governing the sale and installation of 410A Systems by distributors and contractors. Beginning in late 2024, the Company, in collaboration with its OEMs and in anticipation of these regulatory changes, began transitioning its inventory to the new lower-GWP HVAC systems (the “A2L Systems”) while phasing out its inventory of 410A Systems. The regulations permitted the sale and installation of matching 410A HVAC Systems (i.e., outdoor and indoor components that are installed together) through December 31, 2025, after which the outdoor and indoor components could be separately sold and installed thereafter without limitation or expiration. On October 3, 2025, the EPA proposed changes to this regulation that would eliminate or extend the December 31, 2025 sale and installation deadline of matching 410A Systems beyond that date, thus allowing the continued sale of such matching systems. On May 26, 2026, the EPA issued the final rule which eliminated the prior deadline for the sale and installation of matching 410A Systems effective July 26, 2026, thereby permitting the continued sale and installation of such systems. As of the date of this filing, the Company continues to sell matching 410A Systems and related components.
We offer a broad variety of systems that operate above the minimum SEER standards, ranging from base-level efficiency to systems that exceed 20 SEER. Based on estimates validated by independent sources, we averted an estimated 27.7 million metric tons of CO2e emissions from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2026 through the sale of replacement residential HVAC systems at higher-efficiency standards.
Gree Agreement
Since 2009, we have been a party to an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Gree Electric Appliances, Inc. of Zhuhai, China (“Gree”) that, among other things, provides us with exclusive distribution rights for certain Gree-branded products in the United States. A dispute has arisen between Gree and Watsco as to whether the automatic renewal provisions of the Agreement extended the term of the Agreement for an additional 10 years before the prior term was to end in January 2026.
In March 2026, Gree filed a complaint for declaratory judgment in Florida’s Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, seeking a judicial determination that the Agreement did not renew for a successive term and has in fact been terminated. In April 2026, we filed our answer and affirmative defenses to Gree’s complaint, and we interposed counterclaims against Gree to enforce our rights under the Agreement, including seeking a judicial determination that the Agreement renewed for an additional 10-year period and remains in full force and effect, and an award for any damages resulting from Gree’s improper purported termination or non-renewal of the Agreement and Gree’s other related acts. We intend to vigorously prosecute our counterclaims and affirm our position that the Agreement automatically renewed for an additional 10-year period, and to vigorously defend against Gree’s assertion that the Agreement was not renewed.
Any material interruption of the business arrangement with Gree under the Agreement could temporarily affect certain of our subsidiaries and may have an adverse impact on our consolidated financial results. For the 12-month period ended June 30, 2026, less than 3% of our consolidated revenues were from the sale of Gree-branded products.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The preparation of these condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. At least quarterly, management reevaluates its judgments and estimates, which are based on historical experience, current trends, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

HVAC equipment sales comprise various products including, but not limited to, residential ducted and ductless systems, furnaces, and other indoor components, as well as commercial HVAC systems. Within HVAC equipment, sales of residential products increased 5% (reflecting a 5% increase in U.S. markets and a 1% increase in international markets) and sales of commercial products decreased 8% (reflecting an 8% decrease in U.S. markets and a 7% decrease in international markets). Domestic sales of residential compressor-bearing systems (ducted and ductless) reflect a 2% increase in units and a 2% increase in average selling price. The increase in unit volume was primarily due to stabilization of the HVAC equipment market after A2L product transition-related impacts experienced during 2025.

Income taxes represent a composite of the income taxes attributable to our wholly owned operations and income taxes attributable to our joint ventures with Carrier, which are primarily taxed as partnerships for income tax purposes; therefore, Carrier is responsible for its proportionate share of income taxes attributable to its share of earnings from these joint ventures. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to higher proportional earnings in lower tax jurisdictions in 2026 as compared to 2025.
Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.
Net income attributable to Watsco, Inc. for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 decreased $20.3 million, or 11%, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower gross profit and higher selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower income taxes and a decrease in the net income attributable to the non-controlling interest.

Within HVAC equipment, sales of residential products increased 2% (reflecting a 4% increase in U.S. markets and a 13% decrease in international markets) and sales of commercial products decreased 4% (reflecting a 5% decrease in U.S. markets and a 1% decrease in international markets). Domestic sales of residential compressor-bearing systems (ducted and ductless) reflect a 2% decrease in units and a 4% increase in average selling price. The increase in average selling price was primarily due to the higher proportionate mix of A2L products in 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025.

On a same-store basis, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 1% as compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to higher facilities costs, partially offset by lower salaries.
Other Income
Other income of $13.9 million and $12.5 million for the first half of 2026 and 2025, respectively, represented our share of the net income of RSI, in which Carrier Enterprise I has a 38.4% equity interest.
Interest Income, Net
Interest income, net for the first half of 2026 increased $2.2 million, or 29%, primarily due to higher cash and short-term cash investment balances on hand partially offset by lower interest rates earned on the balances for the 2026 period as compared to the same period in 2025.

Income taxes represent a composite of the income taxes attributable to our wholly owned operations and income taxes attributable to our joint ventures with Carrier, which are primarily taxed as partnerships for income tax purposes; therefore, Carrier is responsible for its proportionate share of income taxes attributable to its share of earnings from these joint ventures. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to lower share-based compensation deductions and reduced tax credits, including purchased tax credits, combined with lower earnings in 2026 as compared to 2025.
Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.
Net income attributable to Watsco, Inc. for the first half of 2026 decreased $21.3 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to lower gross profit and higher selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by lower income taxes and a decrease in the net income attributable to the non-controlling interest.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to execute our business strategy and fund operating and investing activities, taking into consideration the seasonal demand for HVAC/R products, which peaks in the months of May through August. Significant factors that could affect our liquidity include the following:
22 of 28
Table of Contents
Sources and Uses of Cash
We rely on cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreement to fund seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes in the short-term and the long-term, including dividend payments (if and as declared by our Board of Directors), capital expenditures, business acquisitions, and development of our long-term operating and technology strategies. Additionally, we may also generate cash through the issuance and sale of our Common stock.
We believe that the combination of our operating cash flows, cash on hand, short-term cash investments, available borrowings under our revolving credit agreement, and funds available from sales of our Common stock under our 2024 ATM Program, each of which is described below, will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that our current sources of available funds will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements.
As of June 30, 2026, we had $364.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $108.8 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. The repatriation of cash balances from our foreign subsidiaries could have adverse tax impacts or be subject to capital controls; however, these balances are generally available to fund the ordinary business operations of our foreign subsidiaries without legal restrictions. We also had $100.0 million of short-term cash investments as of June 30, 2026, which consisted of a certificate of deposit that matures in September 2026.
Our access to funds under our revolving credit agreement depends on the ability of the syndicate banks to meet their respective funding commitments. Disruptions in the credit and capital markets could adversely affect our ability to draw on our revolving credit agreement and may also adversely affect the determination of interest rates, particularly rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, which is one of the base rates under our revolving credit agreement. Additionally, disruptions in the credit and capital markets could also result in increased borrowing costs or reduced borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreement.
Working Capital
Working capital increased to $2,374.3 million at June 30, 2026 from $2,236.8 million at December 31, 2025, reflecting 25 new locations added by the acquisition of Jackson on June 1, 2026, which added $63.8 million of working capital. Excluding these new locations, working capital increased to $2,310.5 million due to: (i) higher inventory driven by the seasonal ramp-up in inventories in connection with our selling season; and (ii) higher accounts receivable, partially offset by lower cash and short-term cash investments.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in millions):

The individual items contributing to cash flow changes for the periods presented are detailed in the condensed consolidated unaudited statements of cash flows contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was lower primarily due to the timing of vendor payments and a lower increase in inventory, which were partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable due to higher sales in 2026 as compared to 2025 .
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities decreased primarily due to lower net proceeds from certificates of deposit that matured in 2026 as compared to 2025.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities decreased primarily due to the timing of distributions to the non-controlling interest offset by increased dividends in 2026.
Revolving Credit Agreement
We maintain an unsecured, five-year $600.0 million syndicated multicurrency revolving credit agreement, which may be used for, among other things, funding seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, dividends (if and as declared by our Board of Directors), capital expenditures, stock repurchases, and issuances of letters of credit. The revolving credit facility has a seasonal component from October 1 to March 31, during which the borrowing capacity may be reduced to $500.0

million at our discretion (which effectively reduces fees payable in respect of the unused portion of the commitment). Included in the revolving credit facility are a $125.0 million swing line loan sublimit, a $10.0 million letter of credit sublimit, a $75.0 million alternative currency borrowing sublimit, and a $10.0 million Mexican borrowing subfacility. The revolving credit agreement matures on March 16, 2028.
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was no outstanding balance under the revolving credit agreement. The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants with respect to consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios, and other customary restrictions. We believe we were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2026.
At-the-Market Offering Program
In May 2024, we entered into an amended and restated sales agreement with Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc. (the “2024 ATM Program”), which enables the issuance and sale of Common stock for a maximum aggregate offering amount of up to $400.0 million. At June 30, 2026, $400.0 million was available for sale under the 2024 ATM Program. The offer and sale of shares under the 2024 ATM Program have been registered under the Securities Act pursuant to our automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-282975).
Investment in Unconsolidated Entity
Carrier Enterprise I has a 38.4% ownership interest in RSI, an HVAC distributor operating from 36 locations in the Western U.S. Our proportionate share of the net income of RSI is included in other income in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income.
Carrier Enterprise I is a party to a shareholders’ agreement with RSI and its shareholders (the “RSI Shareholders’ Agreement”), consisting of five Sigler second generation family siblings and their affiliates, who collectively own 55.4% of RSI (the “RSI Majority Holders”) and certain next-generation Sigler family members and a RSI employee, who collectively own 6.2% of RSI (the “RSI Minority Holders” and, together with the RSI Majority Holders, the “RSI Shareholders”). Pursuant to the RSI Shareholders’ Agreement, the RSI Shareholders have the right to sell, and Carrier Enterprise I has the obligation to purchase, their respective shares of RSI for a purchase price determined based on the higher of book value or a multiple of EBIT, the latter of which Carrier Enterprise I used to calculate the price for its 38.4% investment held in RSI. The RSI Shareholders may transfer their respective shares of RSI common stock only to members of the Sigler family or to Carrier Enterprise I, and, at any time from and after the date on which Carrier Enterprise I owns 85% or more of RSI’s outstanding common stock, it has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from the RSI Shareholders the remaining outstanding shares of RSI common stock. At June 30, 2026, using the criteria set forth in the RSI Shareholders’ Agreement, the valuation of the RSI Shareholders’ RSI common stock was approximately $472.0 million.
On July 28, 2023, Watsco, Carrier Enterprise I, and the RSI Majority Holders entered into an agreement that (1) provides Carrier Enterprise I the discretion, but not the obligation, to fund up to 80% of any purchase from the RSI Majority Holders of their RSI common stock, as required under the RSI Shareholders’ Agreement, using Watsco Common stock (the “Offered Shares”), (2) provides that any Offered Shares actually issued would be valued based on the average volume-weighted average price of Watsco’s Common stock for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the payment date for the applicable RSI shares, and (3) limits the amount of RSI shares that may be collectively sold by the RSI Majority Holders to Carrier Enterprise I under the RSI Shareholders’ Agreement to $125.0 million during any rolling 12-month period. We have not issued or sold any Offered Shares, and there is no assurance that we will issue and sell any Offered Shares, nor is the number of Offered Shares that may be issued and sold currently determinable.
We believe that our operating cash flows, cash on hand, short-term cash investments, funds available for borrowing under our revolving credit agreement, or proceeds from the sale of Common stock under the 2024 ATM Program would be sufficient should the purchase of any additional ownership interests in RSI be made in cash pursuant to the agreement described in the preceding paragraph.
Acquisitions
Jackson Supply Company
On June 1, 2026, we acquired substantially all the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of Jackson, a distributor of residential HVAC equipment and supplies with annual sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 of approximately $230.0 million, operating from 25 locations across Sunbelt markets in Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Arizona. We formed a new, wholly owned subsidiary, Jackson Supply, LLC, that operates this business. Consideration for the net purchase price consisted of 517,884 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $186.2 million, net of cash acquired of $7.7 million.

Southern Ice Equipment Distributors, Inc.
On May 1, 2025, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries acquired SIE, a distributor of food service and ice machine equipment, parts and supplies, operating from seven locations in Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Texas. Consideration for the purchase consisted of $14.2 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $0.7 million, and 7,400 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $3.1 million, net of a discount for lack of marketability.
Hawkins HVAC Distributors, Inc.
On April 1, 2025, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries acquired Hawkins, a distributor of residential HVAC equipment and supplies, operating from two locations in North Carolina and South Carolina. Consideration for the purchase consisted of $2.5 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $0.4 million.
W.L. Lashley & Associates, Inc.
On January 3, 2025, Carrier Enterprise I acquired Lashley, a distributor of commercial HVAC supplies, operating from one location in Houston, Texas. Consideration for the purchase consisted of $3.7 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $0.8 million, 1,036 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $0.5 million, and $0.8 million for repayment of indebtedness. Carrier contributed $1.0 million cash to Carrier Enterprise I in connection with the acquisition of Lashley.
We continually evaluate potential acquisitions and/or joint ventures and investments in unconsolidated entities. We routinely hold discussions with several acquisition candidates. Should suitable acquisition opportunities arise that would require additional financing, we believe our financial position and earnings history provide a sufficient basis for us to either obtain additional debt financing at competitive rates and on reasonable terms or raise capital through the issuance of equity securities.
Common Stock Dividends
We paid cash dividends of $6.30 and $5.70 per share on common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. On July 1, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $3.30 per share on common stock that was paid on July 31, 2026 to shareholders of record as of July 16, 2026. Future dividends and/or changes in dividend rates are at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and depend upon factors including, but not limited to, cash flow generated by operations, profitability, financial condition, cash requirements, prospects, and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
In March 2024, we implemented the Watsco, Inc. Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “DRIP”), under which existing shareholders may, in accordance with the DRIP, acquire up to an aggregate of 300,000 shares of each of Common and Class B common stock, as applicable, by reinvesting all or a portion of the cash dividends paid on such shareholders’ shares of common stock. The DRIP has been registered under the Securities Act pursuant to our automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-282975). During the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 9,456 and 16,553 shares of our common stock, respectively, were issued under the DRIP. During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 19,346 and 30,495 shares of our common stock, respectively, were issued under the DRIP.
Company Share Repurchase Program
In September 1999, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, at management’s discretion, of up to 7,500,000 shares of common stock in the open market or via private transactions. Shares repurchased under the program are accounted for using the cost method and result in a reduction of shareholders’ equity. We last repurchased shares under this plan in 2008. In aggregate, 6,370,913 shares of common stock have been repurchased at a cost of $114.4 million since the inception of the program. At June 30, 2026, there were 1,129,087 shares remaining authorized for repurchase under the program.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes to the information regarding market risk provided in Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are, among other things, designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Executive Vice President (“EVP”), and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate SEC filings.
25 of 28
Table of Contents
Our management, with the participation of our CEO, EVP, and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based on that evaluation, our CEO, EVP, and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at a reasonable assurance level, at and as of such date.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We continuously seek to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. This results in refinements to processes throughout the Company. However, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
In accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, we have not yet assessed the internal control over financial reporting of Jackson, which represented approximately 4% of our total consolidated assets at June 30, 2026 and approximately 1% of our consolidated revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. From the acquisition date of June 1, 2026 to June 30, 2026, the processes and systems of Jackson did not impact the internal control over financial reporting for our consolidated subsidiaries.
