Third Quarter 2021 Performance

Consolidated revenue of $1.5 billion in the third quarter 2021 increased 10% compared with $1.4 billion in the third quarter 2020. Products & Solutions revenue was $631 million, an increase of 10% compared with revenue of $572 million in the prior year comparable period primarily due to volume and price increases. ADI Global Distribution revenue was $865 million, an increase of 9% compared with revenue of $790 million in the prior year comparable period reflecting growth in North America from volume and price increases and $16 million in revenue contribution from recent acquisitions.

Gross profit margin for the third quarter 2021 was 27.8%, up 60 basis points compared to 27.2% in the third quarter 2020. Products & Solutions gross profit margin of 40.9% decreased 140 basis points from 42.3% in the third quarter 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to increased material and freight costs, partially offset by price increases and customer rebate favorability. ADI Global Distribution gross profit margin was 18.5%, an increase of 200 basis points compared to the prior year comparable period gross profit margin of 16.5%. The increase was a result of improved product line margin primarily due to pricing initiatives.

Resideo's operating profit of $167 million in the third quarter 2021 was up $36 million compared to third quarter 2020 operating profit of $131 million. Operating profit margin expanded to 11.2% from 9.6% in the prior year comparable period. Products & Solutions operating profit of $157 million in the third quarter 2021 increased from $141 million in the third quarter 2020. The increase reflects solid cost management and reduced restructuring costs. ADI Global Distribution operating profit increased to $73 million in the third quarter 2021 from $56 million in the third quarter 2020, reflecting improved gross margin, partially offset by increased investment activity. Corporate costs were $63 million in the third quarter 2021, down $3 million from $66 million in the prior year comparable period primarily due to reduced spin and restructuring costs partially offset by a $9 million impairment charge related to the Austin, Texas office relocation.

Net income for the third quarter 2021 was $68 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share, compared with net income of $75 million, or $0.60 per diluted common share, in the third quarter 2020.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

The company reported net cash provided by operating activities of $104 million for the third quarter 2021, an increase of $83 million from the prior year comparable period. The higher operating cash generation was primarily the result of better operating profitability and more favorable working capital trends. On October 2, 2021, Resideo had cash and cash equivalents of $686 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 $5.83 billion to $5.88 billion, gross profit margin in the range of 26.5% to 27.0% and operating profit in the range of $558 million to $568 million.

The company expects fourth quarter 2021 revenue to be in the range of $1.44 billion to $1.49 billion, gross profit margin in the range of 27% to 28% and operating profit in the range of $140 million to $150 million.

Management Remarks

"We delivered another quarter of strong growth and profitability expansion as we continue to execute on our business transformation," commented Jay Geldmacher, Resideo's president and CEO. "End customer demand remains healthy across our businesses, but our ability to fully meet this demand is being constrained by ongoing supply chain and logistics challenges.

"We have made significant progress on our transformation efforts, with a number of benefits visible in our results. Our revenue growth is well outpacing our spending, even as we invest in key long-term growth initiatives. ADI delivered meaningful expansion in gross and operating margin aided by ongoing investments in tools to support pricing and digital transactions. Within Products & Solutions, supply constraints and inflationary pressures are muting progress on productivity enhancements."
