Second Quarter 2021 Performance

Consolidated revenue of $1.5 billion in the second quarter 2021 increased 44% compared with $1.0 billion in the second quarter 2020, which was negatively impacted by the emergence of COVID-19. Products & Solutions revenue was $598 million, an increase of 50% compared with revenue of $398 million in the prior year comparable period primarily due to strong demand across Products & Solutions' end markets and channels. ADI Global Distribution revenue was $879 million, an increase of 39% compared with revenue of $631 million in the prior year comparable period primarily due to higher volumes as demand improved for products serving both commercial and residential markets.

Gross profit margin for the second quarter 2021 was 25.8%, up 290 basis points compared to 22.9% in the second quarter 2020. Products & Solutions gross profit margin of 38.6% increased 470 basis points from 33.9% in the second quarter 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales volume and productivity improvements partially offset by higher freight costs. ADI Global Distribution gross profit margin was 17.3%, an increase of 130 basis points compared to the prior year comparable period gross profit margin of 16.0%. The increase was primarily a result of improved product line margin and higher purchase rebates partially offset by higher freight costs.

Resideo's operating profit of $121 million in the second quarter 2021 was up $127 million compared to second quarter 2020 operating loss of $6 million. Products & Solutions operating profit of $129 million in the second quarter 2021 increased from $42 million in the second quarter 2020. The increase was primarily the result of higher volumes and improved gross profit margin. ADI Global Distribution operating profit increased to $66 million in the second quarter 2021 from $31 million in the second quarter 2020, primarily due to strong operating expense leverage over the higher revenue. Corporate costs were $74 million in the second quarter 2021, down $5 million from $79 million in the prior year comparable period primarily due to reduced spin related expenses and lower restructuring costs offset by a $16 million expense related to the pending securities class action litigation settlement net of insurance recoveries.

Net income for the second quarter 2021 was $58 million, or $0.39 per diluted common share, compared with a net loss of $76 million, or a loss of $0.62 per diluted common share, in the second quarter 2020.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

The company reported net cash provided by operating activities of $94 million for the second quarter 2021, a decrease of $51 million from the prior year comparable period. The lower operating cash generation was primarily the result of unusual positive cash flow items in 2020 related to COVID-19, including working capital decline and cash conservation efforts. On July 3, 2021, Resideo had cash and cash equivalents of $579 million and total outstanding debt of $1.2 billion.

Outlook

The company today updated its outlook for 2021 and now expects full year revenue to be in the range of $5.85 billion to $5.95 billion, gross profit margin in the range of 26% to 28% and operating profit in the range of $535 million to $565 million.

The company expects third quarter 2021 revenue to be in the range of $1.50 billion to $1.55 billion, gross profit margin in the range of 26.5% to 28.5% and operating profit in the range of $140 million to $150 million.

Management Remarks

"The second quarter was another period of strong market demand and solid execution for Resideo," commented Jay Geldmacher, Resideo's president and CEO. "We experienced positive tailwinds across the residential and commercial markets we serve. The strong demand was accompanied by a continuation of the challenging global logistics and supply chain environments. Our team is focused on aggressively managing these dynamics to ensure Resideo remains well positioned to meet the needs of current and new customers.

"Driven by the strong market conditions and the hard work of the Resideo team, we meaningfully expanded profitability while accelerating investment across the business. At ADI, we continue to roll out tools that enable the business to better understand and serve its customers, particularly through digital channels. Within P&S, we have made investments in infrastructure to improve productivity of the sales organization and to accelerate activity within engineering. We believe these and other investments are helping drive improved near-term results and better position Resideo for future growth and profitability expansion."
