NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2014
(In thousands, except share and per share data)
1. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
Basis of Consolidation
Watsco, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, Watsco, which may be referred to as 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. The accompanying March 31, 2014 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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements contained in this report include the accounts of Watsco, all of its wholly owned subsidiaries and the accounts of three joint ventures with Carrier Corporation (Carrier), in each of which Watsco maintains a controlling interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns during 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 fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction market is fairly consistent during the year, subject to weather and economic conditions, including their effect on the number of housing completions.
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, inventories and income taxes, reserves related to self-insurance programs and the valuation of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. While we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from such estimates.
New Accounting Standards
Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefits
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance that requires the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward rather than as a liability when the uncertain tax position would reduce the net operating loss under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction and the entity intends to use the deferred tax asset for that purpose. This guidance is effective prospectively for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

|
|
|
|
|||||
Diluted earnings per share for Common and Class B common stock |
$ | 0.48 | $ | 0.39 |
Diluted earnings per share for our Common stock assumes the conversion of all of our Class B common stock into Common stock as of the beginning of the fiscal year; therefore, no allocation of earnings to Class B common stock is required. At March 31, 2014 and 2013, our outstanding Class B common stock was convertible into 2,702,815 and 2,705,465 shares of our Common stock, respectively.
Diluted earnings per share excluded 500 shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 related to stock options with an exercise price per share greater than the average market value of our common stock, resulting in an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share. No shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
3. | OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS |
Other comprehensive loss consists of the foreign currency translation adjustment associated with our Canadian operations use of the Canadian dollar as their functional currency and changes in the unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities. The tax effects allocated to each component of other comprehensive loss were as follows:

4. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
We routinely use certain derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency exposure. Although these derivatives were not designated as hedges and/or did not qualify for hedge accounting, they were effective economic hedges for the periods presented. The changes in fair values of economic hedges are recognized in earnings. During 2014 and 2013, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts to offset the earnings impact that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations would otherwise have had on certain monetary liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. The changes in fair values of these foreign currency forward contracts were gains of $76 and $21 for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income. The total notional value of our foreign currency exchange contracts as of March 31, 2014 was $52,500, and such contracts have varying terms expiring through July 2014. See Note 5.
5. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
The following tables present our assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are measured on a recurring basis:

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:
Available-for-sale securities the 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.
Derivative financial instruments the derivatives are foreign currency forward contracts. Fair value is based on observable market inputs, such as forward rates in active markets; therefore, we classify the derivatives within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.
There were no transfers in or out of Level 1 and Level 2 during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

6. | SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY |
Common Stock Dividends
We paid cash dividends of $0.40 and $0.25 per share of Common stock and Class B common stock during the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Non-Vested (Restricted) Stock
During the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we granted 183,025 and 85,543 shares of non-vested (restricted) stock, respectively.
Stock Options
During the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 12,250 and 7,000 stock options, respectively, were exercised for Common stock. Cash received from Common stock issued as a result of stock options exercised during the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, was $683 and $338, respectively.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
During the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, 2,062 and 2,182 shares of Common stock were issued under our employee stock purchase plan for which we received net proceeds of $190 and $159, respectively.
401(k) Plan

Noncontrolling Interest
Of our three joint ventures with Carrier, we have a 70% controlling interest in one and a 60% controlling interest in the other two, while Carrier has either a 30% or 40% noncontrolling interest in such joint ventures, as applicable. The following table reconciles shareholders equity attributable to Carriers noncontrolling interest:

7. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
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.
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 a number of 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 $5,477 and $5,582 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, were established related to such programs and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately $126,000 and $53,000, respectively, was payable to Carrier and its affiliates, net of receivables. Our joint ventures with Carrier also sell HVAC products to Carrier and its affiliates. Revenues in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 include $6,535 and $5,295, respectively, of sales to Carrier and its affiliates. We believe these transactions are conducted at arms-length in the ordinary course of business.

The following information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and notes thereto included under Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, reference should be made to our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Company Overview
Watsco, Inc. was incorporated in Florida in 1956, and, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, Watsco, 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. At March 31, 2014, we operated from 568 locations in 38 U.S. states, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico with additional market coverage on an export basis to 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 facilities, including a fleet of trucks and forklifts and facility rent, which are payable mostly under non-cancelable operating leases.
Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns, primarily 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 fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction market is fairly consistent during the year, subject to weather and economic conditions, including their effect on the number of housing completions.
Joint Ventures with Carrier Corporation
In 2009, we formed a joint venture with Carrier Corporation (Carrier), which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise I, in which Carrier contributed 95 of its company-owned locations in 13 Sun Belt states and Puerto Rico and its export division in Miami, Florida, and we contributed 15 locations that distributed Carrier products. On July 2, 2012, we exercised our option to acquire an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise I, which increased our ownership interest to 70%. We have another option to purchase from Carrier an additional 10% interest in Carrier Enterprise I, which becomes exercisable in July 2014. We intend to exercise our option, following which we would have an 80% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise I.
In 2011, we formed a second joint venture with Carrier and completed two additional transactions. In April 2011, Carrier contributed 28 of its company-owned locations in eight Northeast U.S. states, and we contributed 14 locations in the Northeast U.S. In July 2011, we purchased Carriers distribution operations in Mexico, which included seven locations. Collectively, the Northeast locations and the Mexico operations are referred to as Carrier Enterprise II. We have a 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise II, and Carrier has a 40% noncontrolling interest. Neither we nor Carrier has any options to purchase additional ownership interests in Carrier Enterprise II.
In 2012, we formed a third joint venture, which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise III, with UTC Canada Corporation, referred to as UTC Canada, an affiliate of Carrier. Carrier contributed 35 of its company-owned locations in Canada to Carrier Enterprise III. We have a 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise III, and UTC Canada has a 40% noncontrolling interest. Neither we nor UTC Canada has any options to purchase additional ownership interests in Carrier Enterprise III.
Critical Accounting Policies
Managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these 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.
Our critical accounting policies are included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed on February 27, 2014. We believe that there have been no significant changes during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
New Accounting Standards
Refer to Note 1 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of new accounting standards.

In the following narratives, computations and disclosure information referring to same-store basis exclude the effects of locations acquired or locations opened or closed during the immediately preceding 12 months unless they are within close geographical proximity to existing locations. At March 31, 2014 and 2013, 18 and 61 locations, respectively, were excluded from same-store basis information. The table below summarizes the changes in our locations for the 12 months ended March 31, 2014:

Revenues
Revenues for the first quarter of 2014 increased $48.9 million, or 7%, compared to the first quarter of 2013, including $0.5 million from locations opened during the preceding 12 months, offset by $1.3 million from locations closed. On a same-store basis, revenues increased $49.7 million, or 7%, as compared to the same period in 2013, reflecting an 8% increase in sales of HVAC equipment, a 5% increase in sales of other HVAC products and a 2% increase in sales of commercial refrigeration products. The increase in same-store revenues is primarily due to strong demand for residential HVAC equipment.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 increased $12.6 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2013, primarily as a result of increased revenues. Gross profit margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 improved 10 basis-points to 24.7% versus 24.6% for the same period in 2013.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2014 increased $7.6 million, or 5%, compared to the first quarter of 2013 primarily due to increased revenues. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 decreased to 20.0% versus 20.3% for the same period in 2013. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to improved leveraging of fixed operating costs as compared to 2013. On a same-store basis, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 5% as compared to the same period in 2013.
13 of 18
Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 decreased $0.2 million, or 15%, compared to the same period in 2013, primarily as a result of a decrease in average outstanding borrowings, partially offset by a higher effective interest rate for the 2014 period as compared to the same period in 2013.
Income Taxes
Income taxes increased to $10.1 million for the first quarter of 2014 as compared to $8.3 million for the first quarter of 2013 and are a composite of the income taxes attributable to our wholly owned operations and investments, and income taxes attributable to the Carrier joint ventures, which are taxed as partnerships for income tax purposes. The effective income tax rates attributable to us were 37.0% and 36.75% for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher effective tax rates for income generated by our U.S. subsidiaries.
Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.
Net income attributable to Watsco for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 increased $3.4 million, or 25%, compared to the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues, expanded profit margins and reduced selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues, as discussed above.
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:
| cash necessary to fund our business (primarily working capital requirements); |
| the adequacy of our available bank line of credit; |
| the ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms; |
| acquisitions; |
| dividend payments; |
| capital expenditures; and |
| the timing and extent of common stock repurchases. |
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, including dividend payments, if and as declared by our Board of Directors, capital expenditures, business acquisitions and development of our long-term operating strategies.
At March 31, 2014, we had $19.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which, $16.3 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. We believe that our operating cash flows, cash on hand and funds available for borrowing under our line of credit will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that our current sources of available funds will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements.
Our access to funds under our line of credit depends on the ability of the syndicate banks to meet their respective funding commitments. Disruptions in the capital and credit markets could adversely affect our ability to draw on our line of credit and may also adversely affect the determination of interest rates, particularly rates based on LIBOR, which is one of the base rates under our line of credit. Disruptions in the capital and credit markets could also result in increased borrowing costs and/or reduced borrowing capacity under our line of credit.
Working Capital
Working capital increased to $786.0 million at March 31, 2014 from $777.6 million at December 31, 2013, reflecting higher levels of inventories due to our seasonal buildup of inventory in preparation for our Spring and Summer selling season.

Cash Flows

Cash flows used in financing activities |

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
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the timing of payments for accrued expenses and higher net income for the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013, partially offset by our seasonal buildup of inventory in preparation for the Spring and Summer selling season.
Investing Activities
The decrease in net cash used in investing activities was due to lower capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013.
Financing Activities
The decrease in net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to a decrease in distributions to the noncontrolling interest partially offset by repayments of borrowings under our revolving credit agreement and an increase in dividends paid in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to the first quarter of 2013.
Revolving Credit Agreement
We maintain an unsecured, syndicated revolving credit agreement that provides for borrowings of up to $500.0 million. Borrowings are used to fund seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, dividends (if and as declared by our Board of Directors), stock repurchases and issuances of letters of credit. The credit agreement matures on July 1, 2018. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $226.7 million and $230.0 million were outstanding under the revolving credit agreement, respectively. 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 March 31, 2014.
Acquisitions
On July 1, 2014, we intend to exercise our option to acquire an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise I, following which we would have an 80% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise I. The purchase price for the additional 10% ownership interest is based on a formula included in the Purchase and Contribution Agreement dated May 3, 2009 that will be determined upon the date of exercise. We believe that we will have sufficient capacity under our existing revolving credit agreement to fund the purchase.
We continually evaluate potential acquisitions and/or joint ventures and routinely hold discussions with a number of 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 $0.40 and $0.25 per share of Common stock and Class B common stock during the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. On April 1, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share of Common and Class B common stock that was paid on April 30, 2014 to shareholders of record as of April 15, 2014. On April 14, 2014, our Board of Directors approved an increase in the quarterly cash dividend rate to $0.60 per share from $0.40 per share. The increase will be reflected in our next regular dividend payment in July 2014. Future dividends and/or dividend rate increases will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon such factors as cash flow generated by operations, profitability, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by our Board of Directors.
Company Share Repurchase Program
In September 1999, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, at managements 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. No shares were repurchased during the quarters ended March 31, 2014 or 2013. In aggregate, 6,370,913 shares of Common and Class B common stock have been repurchased at a cost of $114.4 million since the inception of the program. At March 31, 2014, 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 in market risk from the information 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, 2013.
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), Senior Vice President (SVP) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate SEC filings.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO, SVP 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, SVP 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 are continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations and of our internal controls. This results in refinements to processes throughout the Company. However, there were no changes in internal controls 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 March 31, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Information with respect to this item may be found in Note 7 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the caption Litigation, Claims and Assessments, which information is incorporated by reference in this Item 1 of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Information about risk factors for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 does not differ materially from that set forth in Part I, Item 1A, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On March 6, 2014, we issued 18,309 shares of our Common stock to our Profit Sharing Retirement Plan & Trusts (the Plans) representing the employer match under the Plans for the plan year ended December 31, 2013, without registration. This issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 3(a)(2) thereof. The Plans are profit sharing retirement plans that are qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The assets of the Plans are held in a single trust fund for the benefit of our employees, and no Plan holds assets for the benefit of the employees of any other employer. All of the contributions to the Plans from our employees have been invested in assets other than our Common stock. We have contributed all of the Common stock held by the Plans as a discretionary matching contribution, which, at the time of contribution, was lower in value than the employee contributions that the contribution matched.
