The following information should be read in conjunction with the information contained in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and the consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included under Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2020.

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 in North America. At December 31, 2020, we operated from 600 locations in 38 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 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.

Impact of the

COVID-19

Pandemic

A novel strain of coronavirus,

COVID-19,

surfaced in December 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared

COVID-19

a pandemic. For certain periods of the pandemic thus far, some U.S. states had been under executive orders requiring that all workers remain at home unless their work was critical, essential, or life-sustaining. We believe that, based on the various standards published to date, the work our employees perform is essential, and as such we continued to operate with certain modifications during these periods. Certain of our locations experienced short-term closures for

COVID-19

employee health concerns or operated at a diminished capacity, which negatively impacted business during March and April of 2020. At the end of the second quarter of 2020, many of the markets in which we operate had begun to ease

COVID-19

restrictions that had been in place earlier in the period. However, during the second half of 2020, viral infections began to increase, resulting in the resumption of restrictions in certain markets in which we operate.

Consistent with broader social trends, we have taken steps to safeguard the health of our employees and customers. This includes creating space between work areas, providing ample personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies, having formal policies for mitigation in the event of cases of illness, utilizing technologies where work duties allow to enable work from home capabilities, and instituting contactless sales and servicing capabilities at many of our locations to create social distancing. As of the date of this filing, all our locations are operating, and due to these precautions, have continued to function effectively, including our internal controls over financial reporting. In light of the continued high rate of viral infections that exists as of the date of this filing, there remains significant uncertainty concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the

COVID-19

pandemic.

In response to the pandemic, we implemented plans intended to preserve adequate liquidity and ensure that our business continued to operate during this uncertain time. In addition, we have taken actions to reduce costs, including reductions in compensation, rent abatement, changes to vendor terms and other austerity measures to curtail discretionary spending in light of the circumstances. Other costs, including hourly wages, overtime, sales commissions, temporary labor, performance-based compensation, advertising, and delivery expenses are expected to vary in correlation with our overall business activity. As restrictions ease and normal economic conditions and operations resume, the various austerity measures to curtail discretionary spending have eased.

With respect to liquidity, we believe that our balance sheet remains strong with $146.1 million in cash, no outstanding borrowings drawn from our $560.0 million credit facility and $1.8 billion of shareholders’ equity as of December 31, 2020. On February 9, 2021, our Board of Directors approved an increase to the quarterly cash dividend per share of Common and Class B common stock to $1.95 per share beginning with the dividend that will be paid in April 2021. 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, and future prospects. During these uncertain times, we believe that our scale, our current debt-free position, conservative leverage ratio, and our historical ability to generate cash flow positions us well as we work through the impacts of the

COVID-19

pandemic.

The full impact of the

COVID-19

pandemic on our financial condition and results of operations will continue to depend on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the pandemic, its impact on our employees, customers, and suppliers, how quickly normal economic conditions and operations resume and whether the pandemic exacerbates other risks disclosed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2020. We will continue to actively monitor the situation and may take further actions that alter our business operations as may be required by federal, state or local authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, suppliers and shareholders.

Joint Ventures with Carrier Global Corporation

On April 3, 2020, United Technologies Corporation completed the

spin-off

of Carrier Corporation into an independent, publicly traded company, named Carrier Global Corporation (“Carrier”).

In 2009, we formed a joint venture with 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. We have an 80% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise I, and Carrier has a 20%

non-controlling

interest. The export division, Carrier InterAmerica Corporation, redomesticated from the U.S. Virgin Islands to Delaware effective December 31, 2019, following which Carrier InterAmerica Corporation became a separate operating entity in which we have an 80% controlling interest and Carrier has a 20%

non-controlling

interest. On August 1, 2019, Carrier Enterprise I acquired substantially all of the HVAC assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of Peirce-Phelps, Inc. (“PPI”), an HVAC distributor operating from 19 locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.

In 2011, we formed a second joint venture with Carrier, in which Carrier contributed 28 of its company-owned locations in the Northeast U.S., and we contributed 14 locations in the Northeast U.S., and we then purchased Carrier’s 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 an 80% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise II, and Carrier has a 20%

non-controlling

interest. Effective May 31, 2019, we purchased an additional 20% ownership interest in Homans Associates II LLC (“Homans”) from Carrier Enterprise II, following which we owned 100% of Homans. Homans previously operated as a division of Carrier Enterprise II and now operates as one of our stand-alone, wholly owned subsidiaries.

In 2012, we formed a third joint venture with Carrier, which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise III. 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 Carrier has a 40%

non-controlling

interest.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated 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 consolidated 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 significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 to our audited consolidated financial statements included with this Annual Report on Form

10-K.

Management believes that the following accounting policies include a higher degree of judgment and/or complexity and, thus, are considered critical accounting policies. Management has discussed the development and selection of critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee has reviewed the disclosures relating to them.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. We typically do not require our customers to provide collateral. Accounting for doubtful accounts contains uncertainty because management must use judgment to assess the collectability of these accounts. When preparing these estimates, management considers several factors, including the aging of a customer’s account, past transactions with customers, creditworthiness of specific customers, historical trends, and other information, including potential impacts of

business and economic conditions. Our business and our customers’ businesses are seasonal. Sales are lowest during the first and fourth quarters, and past due accounts receivable balances as a percentage of total trade receivables generally increase during these quarters. We review our accounts receivable reserve policy periodically, reflecting current risks, trends, and changes in industry conditions.

The allowance for doubtful accounts was $7.1 million and $7.9 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $0.8 million. Accounts receivable balances greater than 90 days past due as a percent of accounts receivable at December 31, 2020 decreased to 1.4% from 1.8% at December 31, 2019. These decreases were primarily attributable to an improvement in the underlying quality of our accounts receivable portfolio at December 31, 2020.

Although we believe the allowance for doubtful accounts is sufficient, a decline in economic conditions could lead to the deterioration in the financial condition of our customers, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments and requiring additional allowances that could materially impact our consolidated results of operations. We believe our exposure to customer credit risk is limited due to the large number of customers comprising our customer base and their dispersion across many different geographical regions. Additionally, we mitigate credit risk through credit insurance programs.

Inventory Valuation Reserves

Inventory valuation reserves are established to report inventories at the lower of cost using the weighted-average and the

first-in,

first-out

methods, or net realizable value. As part of the valuation process, inventories are adjusted to reflect excess, slow-moving, and damaged goods. The valuation process contains uncertainty because management must make estimates and use judgment to determine the future salability of inventories. Inventory policies are reviewed periodically, reflecting current risks, trends, and changes in industry conditions. A reserve for estimated inventory shrinkage is also maintained and reflects the results of cycle count programs and physical inventories. When preparing these estimates, management considers historical results, inventory levels, and current operating trends.

Valuation of Goodwill, Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

The recoverability of goodwill is evaluated at least annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We have one reporting unit that is subject to goodwill impairment testing. In performing the goodwill impairment test, we use a

two-step

approach. The first step compares the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The identification and measurement of goodwill impairment involves the estimation of the fair value of our reporting unit and contains uncertainty because management must use judgment in determining appropriate assumptions to be used in the measurement of fair value. On January 1, 2021, we performed our annual evaluation of goodwill impairment and determined that the estimated fair value of our reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value.

The recoverability of indefinite lived intangibles and long-lived assets are also evaluated on an annual basis or more often if deemed necessary. Indefinite lived intangibles and long-lived assets not subject to amortization are assessed for impairment by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset or long-lived asset to its carrying amount to determine if a write-down to fair value is required. Our annual evaluation did not indicate any impairment of indefinite lived intangibles or long-lived assets.

The estimates of fair value of our reporting unit, indefinite lived intangibles, and long-lived assets are based on the best information available as of the date of the assessment and incorporates management’s assumptions about expected future cash flows and contemplates other valuation techniques. Future cash flows can be affected by changes in the industry, a declining economic environment, or market conditions. There have been no events or circumstances from the date of our assessments that would have had an impact on this conclusion. The carrying amounts of goodwill, intangibles, and long-lived assets were $999.9 million and $1,009.4 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, a decrease of $9.5 million. Although no impairment losses have been recorded to date, there can be no assurance that impairments will not occur in the future. An adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill, intangibles, and long-lived assets could materially adversely impact the consolidated results of operations.

Loss Contingencies

Accruals are recorded for various contingencies including self-insurance, legal proceedings, environmental matters, and other claims that arise in the normal course of business. The estimation process contains uncertainty because accruals are based on judgment, the probability of losses and, where applicable, the consideration of opinions of external legal counsel and actuarially determined estimates. Additionally, we record receivables from third party insurers when recovery has been determined to be probable.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net for 2020 decreased $2.8 million, or 69%, to $1.2 million, primarily as a result of a decrease in average outstanding borrowings and a lower effective interest rate for the 2020 period, as compared to the same period in 2019.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased 14% to $76.6 million and represent a composite of the income taxes attributable to our wholly owned operations and income taxes attributable to the Carrier joint ventures, 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 effective income tax rates attributable to us were 22.0% and 21.2% for 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher state income taxes, offset by greater share-based compensation and lower estimated foreign withholding taxes in 2019 as compared to 2020.

Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.

Net income attributable to Watsco in 2020 increased $23.6 million, or 10%, to $269.6 million. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues and gross profit, and lower interest expense, net.

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 needed to fund our business (primarily working capital requirements);

•

borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility;

•

the ability to attract long-term capital with satisfactory terms;

•

acquisitions, including joint ventures and investments in unconsolidated entities;

•

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 and technology strategies. Additionally, we may also generate cash through the issuance and sale of our Common stock.

As of December 31, 2020, we had $146.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $82.8 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 believe that our operating cash flows, cash on hand, and funds available for borrowing under our revolving credit agreement are 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 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 LIBOR, which is one of the base rates under our revolving credit agreement. LIBOR is the subject of recent proposals for reform that currently provide for the

phase-out

of LIBOR after December 31, 2021. The consequences of these developments with respect to LIBOR cannot be entirely predicted but could result in an increase in the cost of our debt, as it is currently anticipated that lenders will replace LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), which may exceed what would have been the comparable LIBOR rate. Additionally, disruptions in the credit and capital markets could also result in increased borrowing costs and/or reduced borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreement.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our significant contractual obligations at December 31, 2020.


	Payments due by Period (in millions)
Contractual Obligations	2021		2022		2023		2024		2025		Thereafter		Total
Operating leases (1)	$	77.2	$	62.3	$	44.9	$	25.1	$	9.7	$	6.8	$	226.0
Purchase obligations (2)		31.8		—		—		—		—		—		31.8

Total	$	109.0	$	62.3	$	44.9	$	25.1	$	9.7	$	6.8	$	257.8

(1)	Includes imputed interest of $16.2 million. Additional information related to operating leases can be found in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2)

Purchase obligations include amounts committed under purchase orders for goods with defined terms as to price, quantity, and delivery. Purchase orders made in the ordinary course of business that are cancelable are excluded from the above table. Any amounts for which we are liable under purchase orders for goods received are reflected in Accounts Payable in our audited consolidated balance sheets and are excluded from the above table.

We have not included in the contractual obligations table above approximately $5.5 million of net liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits relating to various tax positions we have taken, the timing of which is uncertain.

At December 31, 2020, there were no commercial obligations outstanding under our revolving credit agreement.

Off-Balance

Sheet Arrangements

Refer to Note 16 to our audited consolidated financial statements contained in this Annual Report on Form

10-K,

under the caption

“Off-Balance

Sheet Financial Instruments,” for a discussion of a standby letter of credit and performance bonds for which we were contingently liable at December 31, 2020. Such discussion is incorporated herein by reference.

Purchase of Remaining Ownership Interest in Joint Venture

Effective May 31, 2019, we purchased an additional 20% ownership interest in Homans from Carrier Enterprise II for cash consideration of $32.4 million, which increased our ownership in Homans to 100%. Homans previously operated as a division of Carrier Enterprise II and subsequent to the purchase operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with 17 locations in the Northeastern U.S.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entity

On June 21, 2017, Carrier Enterprise I acquired a 34.9% ownership interest in RSI, an HVAC distributor operating from 30 locations in the Western U.S. for cash consideration of $63.6 million, of which we contributed $50.9 million, and Carrier contributed $12.7 million. Effective June 29, 2018, Carrier Enterprise I acquired an additional 1.4% ownership interest in RSI, which increased Carrier Enterprise I’s ownership interest in RSI to 36.3% for cash consideration of $3.8 million, of which we contributed $3.0 million and Carrier contributed $0.8 million. Effective April 22, 2019, Carrier Enterprise I acquired an additional 1.8% ownership interest in RSI, which increased Carrier Enterprise I’s ownership interest in RSI to 38.1% for cash consideration of $4.9 million, of which we contributed $3.9 million and Carrier contributed $1.0 million.

Carrier Enterprise I is a party to a shareholders’ agreement (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”) with RSI and its shareholders. Pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement, RSI’s 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 either book value or a multiple of EBIT, the latter of which Carrier Enterprise I used to calculate the price paid for its investment in RSI. RSI’s 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 RSI’s shareholders the remaining outstanding shares of RSI common stock. At December 31, 2020, the estimated purchase amount we would be contingently liable for was approximately $200.0 million. We believe that our operating cash flows, cash on hand, and funds available for borrowing under our revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to purchase any additional ownership interests in RSI.

Acquisitions

On November 26, 2019, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of N&S, a distributor of air conditioning, heating and plumbing products operating from seven locations in New York and Connecticut. The purchase price was composed of cash consideration of $12.0 million, the issuance of 22,435 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $3.9 million, net of a discount for lack of marketability, and the repayment of certain indebtedness.

On August 1, 2019, Carrier Enterprise I acquired substantially all the HVAC assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of PPI, an HVAC distributor operating from 19 locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, for $85.0 million less certain average revolving indebtedness. Consideration for the net purchase price consisted of $10.0 million in cash, 372,543 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $58.3 million, net of a discount for lack of marketability, and the repayment of certain average revolving indebtedness. Carrier contributed cash of $17.0 million to Carrier Enterprise I in connection with the acquisition of PPI.

On April 2, 2019, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of DASCO, a distributor of air conditioning and heating products operating from seven locations in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. The purchase price was composed of cash consideration of $16.8 million and the issuance of 50,952 shares of Common stock having a fair value of $6.9 million, net of a discount for lack of marketability.

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 $6.925, $6.40 and $5.60 per share of Common stock and Class B common stock in 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. On January 4, 2021, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $1.775 per share of both Common and Class B common stock that was paid on January 29, 2021 to shareholders of record as of January 15, 2021. On February 9, 2021, our Board of Directors approved an increase to the quarterly cash dividend per share of Common and Class B common stock to $1.95 per share from $1.775 per share, beginning with the dividend that will be paid in April 2021. 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, and future prospects.

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 and Class B common stock have been repurchased at a cost of $114.4 million since the inception of the program. At December 31, 2020, there were 1,129,087 shares remaining authorized for repurchase under the program.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage certain of these exposures, we use derivative instruments, including forward and option contracts and swaps. We use derivative instruments as risk management tools and not for trading purposes.

Foreign Currency Exposure

We are exposed to cash flow and earnings fluctuations resulting from currency exchange rate variations. These exposures are transactional and translational in nature. The foreign currency exchange rates to which we are exposed are the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso. Revenues in these markets accounted for 6% and 2%, respectively, of our total revenues for 2020.

Our transactional exposure primarily relates to purchases by our Canadian operations in currencies other than their local currency. To mitigate the impact of currency exchange rate movements on these purchases, we use foreign currency forward contracts. By entering into these foreign currency forward contracts, we lock in exchange rates that would otherwise cause losses should the U.S. dollar strengthen and gains should the U.S. dollar weaken, in each case against the Canadian dollar. We had only one foreign exchange contract at December 31, 2020, the total notional value of which was $1.0 million, and such contract expired during January 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2020, foreign currency transaction gains and losses did not have a material impact on our results of operations.

We have exposure related to the translation of financial statements of our Canadian operations into U.S. dollars, our functional currency. We do not currently hold any derivative contracts that hedge our foreign currency translational exposure. A 10% change in the Canadian dollar would have had an estimated $2.5 million impact to net income for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

Watsco, Inc.:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Watsco, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 26, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated

financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated

financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated

financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Evaluation of inventory net realizable value adjustments related to excess and slow-moving inventory

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company values its inventory at the lower of cost using weighted-average cost basis and

first-in,

first-out

methods, or net realizable value. The Company adjusts excess, slow-moving, and damaged inventory to their estimated net realizable value. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s inventory balance was $781,299 thousand.

We identified the evaluation of inventory net realizable value adjustments related to excess and slow-moving inventory as a critical audit matter due to the amount of judgment required by the Company in making such estimates. As a result, there was a high degree of subjective auditor judgment in assessing such estimates, specifically as it related to the future salability of inventories.

WATSCO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation

Watsco, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Watsco,” “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. At December 31, 2020, we operated from 600 locations in 38 U.S. states, Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico with additional market coverage on an export basis to portions of Latin America and the Caribbean

On April 3, 2020, United Technologies Corporation completed the

spin-off

of Carrier Corporation into an independent, publicly traded company, now named Carrier Global Corporation, which we refer to as Carrier. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Watsco, all of its wholly owned subsidiaries and the accounts of three joint ventures with Carrier

Carrier InterAmerica Corporation (“CIAC”), the export division of our first joint venture with Carrier, redomesticated from the U.S. Virgin Islands to Delaware effective December 31, 2019, following which CIAC became a separate operating entity in which we have an 80% controlling interest and Carrier has a 20%

non-controlling

interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation

Impact of

COVID-19

Pandemic

A novel strain of coronavirus,

COVID-19,

surfaced in December 2019 and has spread around the world, including to the United States. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared

COVID-19

a pandemic. The

COVID-19

pandemic has impacted and could further impact our operations and the operations of our suppliers and customers as a result of quarantines, facility closures, illnesses, and travel and logistics restrictions. The extent to which the

COVID-19

pandemic continues to impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to the magnitude, duration, spread, severity, and impact of the

COVID-19

pandemic, the effects of the

COVID-19

pandemic on our employees, customers, suppliers, and vendors, and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the

COVID-19

pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience adverse impacts to our business as a result of any economic recession or depression that has occurred as a result of the

COVID-19

pandemic. Therefore, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact at this time.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The functional currency of our operations in Canada is the Canadian dollar. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicable period. The aggregate effect of foreign currency translation is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in our consolidated balance sheets. Our net investment in our Canadian operations is recorded at the historical rate and the resulting foreign currency translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss in our consolidated balance sheets. Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in U.S. dollars are recognized in earnings primarily within cost of sales in our consolidated statements of income.

Our operations in Mexico consider their functional currency to be the U.S. dollar because the majority of their transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars. Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in Mexican pesos are recognized in earnings primarily within selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income.

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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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.

F-12

Table of Contents

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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 consolidated 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.

Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable primarily consist of trade receivables due from customers and are stated at the invoiced amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of customers to make required payments. When preparing these estimates, we consider a number of factors, including the aging of a customer’s account, past transactions with customers, creditworthiness of specific customers, historical trends and other information, including potential impacts of business and economic conditions. Upon determination that an account is uncollectible, the receivable balance is written off. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $7,087 and $7,943, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories consist of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies and are valued at the lower of cost using the weighted-average cost basis and the

first-in,

first-out

methods, or net realizable value. As part of the valuation process, inventories are adjusted to reflect excess, slow-moving and damaged inventories at their estimated net realizable value. Inventory policies are reviewed periodically, reflecting current risks, trends and changes in industry conditions. A reserve for estimated inventory shrinkage is also maintained to consider inventory shortages determined from cycle counts and physical inventories.

Vendor Rebates and Purchase Discounts

We have arrangements with several vendors that provide rebates payable to us when we achieve any of a number of measures, generally related to the volume level of purchases. We account for such rebates as a reduction of inventory until we sell the product, at which time such rebates are reflected as a reduction of cost of sales in our consolidated statements of income. Throughout the year, we estimate the amount of the rebate based on our estimate of purchases to date relative to the purchase levels that mark our progress toward earning the rebates. We continually revise our estimates of earned vendor rebates based on actual purchase levels. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had $13,434 and $12,007, respectively, of rebates recorded as a reduction of inventory. Substantially all vendor rebate receivables are collected within three months immediately following the end of the year. Vendor rebates that are earned based on products sold are credited directly to cost of sales in our consolidated statements of income.

We also have vendors that offer a cash discount when we pay their invoice within a specified period of time. We account for such cash discounts as a reduction of inventory until we sell the product at which time such cash discounts are reflected as a reduction of cost of sales in our consolidated statements of income. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had $12,029 and $10,098, respectively, of cash discounts recorded as a reduction of inventory.

Equity Securities

Investments in equity securities are recorded at fair value using the specific identification method and are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of equity securities and dividend income are recognized in our consolidated statements of income.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are depreciated or amortized over estimated useful lives ranging from

3-40

years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the respective lease terms or estimated useful lives. Machinery, vehicles

and equipment are depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging from

years. Computer hardware and software are depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging from

3-10

years. Furniture and fixtures are depreciated over estimated useful lives ranging from

5-7

years.

F-13

Table of Contents

Operating and Finance Leases

We have operating leases for real property, vehicles and equipment, and finance leases primarily for vehicles. Operating leases are included in operating lease

right-of-use

(“ROU”) assets, current portion of long-term obligations, and operating lease liabilities, net of current portion in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are not considered significant to our consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of income. Finance lease ROU assets at December 31, 2020 and 2019, of $6,232 and $3,150, respectively, are included in property and equipment, net in our consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease liabilities at December 31, 2020 and 2019, of $6,383 and $3,231, respectively, are included in current portion of long-term obligations and finance lease liabilities, net of current portion in our consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the applicable commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement dates of the respective leases in determining the present value of the applicable lease payments.

Operating lease ROU assets also include any lease

pre-payments

made and exclude lease incentives. Certain of our leases include variable payments, which are excluded from lease ROU assets and lease liabilities and expensed as incurred. Our leases have remaining lease terms of

1-9

years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to five years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion, and our lease ROU assets and liabilities reflect only the options we are reasonably certain that we will exercise. Certain real property lease agreements have lease and

non-lease

components, which are generally accounted for as a single lease component. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease payments for short-term leases, which are 12 months or less without a purchase option that is likely to be exercised, are recognized as lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Practical Expedients

We elected the practical expedients related to short-term leases and separating lease components from

non-lease

components for all underlying asset classes.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We test goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of our reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value is determined to be less than the carrying value, an impairment charge would be recognized. On January 1, 2021, we performed our annual evaluation of goodwill impairment and determined that the estimated fair value of our reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value.

Intangible assets primarily consist of the value of trade names and trademarks, distributor agreements, customer relationships and patented and unpatented technology. Indefinite lived intangibles not subject to amortization are assessed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate they may be impaired, by comparing the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying amount to determine if a write-down to fair value is required. Finite lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their respective estimated useful lives.

We perform our annual impairment tests each year and have determined there to be no impairment for any of the periods presented. There were no events or circumstances identified from the date of our assessment that would require an update to our annual impairment tests.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, other than goodwill and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability is evaluated by determining whether the amortization of the balance over its remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows. We measure the impairment loss based on projected discounted cash flows using a discount rate reflecting the average cost of funds and compared to the asset’s carrying value. As of December 31, 2020, there were no such events or circumstances.

Fair Value Measurements

We carry various assets and liabilities at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Fair value measurements are classified based on the following fair value hierarchy:

F-14

Table of Contents


Level 1		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2		Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or model-driven valuations or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3		Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue primarily consists of sales of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment, and related parts and supplies. We generate our revenue primarily from the sale of finished products to customers; therefore, the significant majority of our contracts are short-term in nature and have only a single performance obligation to deliver products; therefore, we satisfy our performance obligation under such contracts when we transfer control of the product to the customer. Some contracts contain a combination of product sales and services, the latter of which is distinct and accounted for as a separate performance obligation. We satisfy our performance obligations for services when we render the services within the agreed-upon service period. Total service revenue is not material and accounted for less than 1% of our consolidated revenues for both 2020 and 2019.

Revenue is recognized when control transfers to our customers when products are picked up or via shipment of products or delivery of services. We measure revenue as the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services, net of any variable considerations (e.g., rights to return product, sales incentives, others) and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Revenue for shipping and handling charges is recognized when products are delivered to the customer.

Product Returns

We estimate product returns based on historical experience and record them on a gross basis on our balance sheets. Substantially all customer returns relate to products that are returned under manufacturers’ warranty obligations. Accrued sales returns at December 31, 2020 and 2019 of $12,739 and $12,181, respectively, were included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

Sales Incentives

We estimate sales incentives expected to be paid over the term of the program based on the most likely amounts. Sales incentives are accounted for as a reduction in the transaction price and are generally paid on an annual basis.

Practical Expedients

We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019

and 2018, were $12,588, $16,587

and $16,520, respectively.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are capitalized to inventories and relieved through cost of sales as inventories are sold. Shipping and handling costs associated with the delivery of products are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Shipping and handling costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019

and 2018, were $55,019, $54,783

and $51,741, respectively.

F-15

Table of Contents

Share-Based Compensation

The fair value of stock option and

non-vested

restricted stock awards are expensed net of estimated forfeitures on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards. Share-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income. Tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of share-based compensation expense are recognized in our provision for income taxes in our consolidated statements of income.

Income Taxes

We record U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes currently payable, as well as deferred taxes due to temporary differences between reporting income and expenses for financial statement purposes versus tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. We and our eligible subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. As income tax returns are generally not filed until well after the closing process for the

December 31 financial statements is complete, the amounts recorded at December 31 reflect estimates of what the final amounts will be when the actual income tax returns are filed for that calendar year. In addition, estimates are often required with respect to, among other things, the appropriate state income tax rates to use in the various states that we and our subsidiaries are required to file, the potential utilization of operating loss carryforwards and valuation allowances required, if any, for tax assets that may not be realizable in the future.

We recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the

“more-likely-than-not”

threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Earnings per Share

We compute earnings per share using the

two-class

method. The

two-class

method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Shares of our

non-vested

restricted stock are considered participating securities because these awards contain a

non-forfeitable

right to dividends irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest. Under the

two-class

method, earnings per common share for our Common and Class B common stock is computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common shareholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common and Class B common stock outstanding for the period. In applying the

two-class

method, undistributed earnings are allocated to Common stock, Class B common stock and participating securities based on the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period.

Diluted earnings per share reflects the dilutive effect of potential common shares from stock options. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options is computed using the treasury stock method, which assumes any proceeds that could be obtained upon the exercise of stock options, would be used to purchase common stock at the average market price for the period. The assumed proceeds include the purchase price the optionee pays, the windfall tax benefit that we receive upon assumed exercise and the unrecognized compensation expense at the end of each period.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity

We have used derivative instruments, including forward and option contracts and swaps, to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The use of these derivative instruments modifies the exposure of these risks with the intent to reduce the risk or cost to us. We use derivative instruments as risk management tools and not for trading purposes. All derivatives, whether designated as hedging relationships or not, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Cash flows from derivative instruments are classified in the consolidated statements of cash flows in the same category as the cash flows from the items subject to the designated hedge or undesignated (economic) hedge relationships. The hedging designation may be classified as one of the following:

No Hedging Designation.

The gain or loss on a derivative instrument not designated as an accounting hedging instrument is recognized in earnings within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Cash Flow Hedge.

A hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability is considered a cash flow hedge. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of a derivative that is designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to earnings as a component of cost of sales in the period for which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in earnings.

F-16

Table of Contents

Fair Value Hedge.

A hedge of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment is considered a fair value hedge. Fair value hedges, both the effective and ineffective portions of the changes in the fair value of the derivative, along with the gain or loss on the hedged item that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in earnings.

See Note 17 for additional information pertaining to derivative instruments.

Loss Contingencies

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Financial Instruments—Credit Losses

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance that modifies the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments, including trade receivables, contract assets, long-term receivables and

off-balance

sheet credit exposures. Under the new standard, an entity will be required to consider a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses, including historical information, current conditions

and a reasonable forecast period, which may result in earlier recognition of certain losses. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this updated standard, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, but the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity also should consider income tax effects from any

4. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for our Common and Class B common stock:


Years Ended December 31,	2020		2019		2018
Basic Earnings per Share:
Net income attributable to Watsco, Inc. shareholders	$	269,579	$	245,950	$	242,932

Weighted-average common shares outstanding - Diluted		35,150,571		34,675,641		34,374,269

Diluted earnings per share for Common and Class B common stock	$	7.01	$	6.50	$	6.49

Diluted earnings per share for our Common stock assumes the conversion of all 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 December 31, 2020, 2019

and 2018, our outstanding Class B common stock was convertible into 2,572,536, 2,574,336

and 2,581,627 shares of our Common stock, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share excluded 19,722, 205,380, and 74,270 shares for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019

and 2018, respectively, related to stock options with an exercise price per share greater than the average market value, resulting in an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share.

6. SUPPLIER CONCENTRATION

Purchases from our top ten suppliers comprised 85%, 83

and 84% of all purchases made in 2020, 2019

and 2018, respectively. Our largest supplier, Carrier and its affiliates, accounted for 63%, 62

and 62% of all purchases made in 2020, 2019

and 2018, respectively. See Note 20. A significant interruption by Carrier, or any of our other key suppliers, in the delivery of products could impair our ability to maintain current inventory levels and could materially impact our consolidated results of operations and consolidated

financial position.

and $16,747, respectively.

8. DEBT

We maintain an unsecured, syndicated multicurrency revolving credit agreement, which we use to fund 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. On April 10, 2020, we increased the aggregate borrowing capacity of our revolving credit agreement from $500,000 to $560,000. The credit facility has a seasonal component from October 1 to March 31, during which the borrowing capacity may be reduced to $460,000 at our discretion, and we effected this reduction in 2020. Included in the credit facility are a $100,000 swingline subfacility, a $10,000 letter of credit subfacility, a $75,000 alternative currency borrowing sublimit and an $8,000 Mexican borrowing sublimit. The credit agreement matures on December 5, 2023.

Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest at either LIBOR-based rates plus a spread, which ranges from 87.5 to 150.0 basis-points (LIBOR plus 87.5 basis-points at December 31, 2020), depending on our ratio of total debt to EBITDA, or on rates based on the highest of the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.5%, the Prime Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.0%, in each case plus a spread which ranges from 0 to 50.0 basis-points (0 basis-points at December 31, 2020), depending on our ratio of total debt to EBITDA. We pay a variable commitment fee on the unused portion of the commitment under the revolving credit agreement, ranging from 7.5 to 20.0 basis-points (7.5 basis-points at December 31, 2020). During 2020, we paid fees of $196 in connection with the increase in the aggregate borrowing capacity of our revolving credit agreement, which are being amortized ratably through the maturity of the facility in December 2023.

At December 31, 2020 there was no outstanding

balance

under the revolving credit agreement. At December 31, 2019 $155,700 was outstanding 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 December 31, 2020.

On December 22, 2017, Public Law

115-97

“An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018”

was enacted. This law is commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”). The TCJA made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code including but not limited to, reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018

and requiring a

one-time

repatriation transition tax on certain undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The TCJA also put in place new tax laws that applied prospectively, which included, but were not limited to, generally eliminating U.S. federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries and a new provision designed to tax U.S. allocated expenses as well as currently taxing certain global intangible

low-taxed

income (“GILTI”) of foreign subsidiaries. GILTI is a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. We have elected to provide for the tax expense related to GILTI in the year the tax is incurred as a period expense.

In 2018, we increased our previously estimated net income tax benefit for the enactment-date effects of the TCJA by $1,819 to $11,774, following the refinement of estimated U.S. federal and state income taxes on previously undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. There were no additional refinements for any enactment-date effects related to the TCJA in 2019 or 2020.

The TCJA

one-time

repatriation transition tax and GILTI liabilities effectively taxed the undistributed earnings previously deferred from U.S. federal and certain state income taxes. As of December 31, 2020, we have accumulated undistributed earnings generated by our foreign subsidiaries of approximately $85,000. Any additional taxes due with respect to such previously taxed earnings, if repatriated, would generally be limited to certain state income taxes and foreign withholding. Deferred taxes have been recorded for foreign withholding taxes on certain earnings of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries expected to be repatriated. We do not intend to distribute the remaining previously taxed foreign earnings and therefore have not recorded deferred taxes for certain state income taxes and foreign withholding on such earnings. The amount of certain state income taxes and foreign withholding that might be payable on the remaining amounts at December 31, 2020 is not practicable to estimate.

Valuation allowances are provided to reduce the related deferred income tax assets to an amount which will, more likely than not, be realized. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had a valuation allowance of $668 and $655, respectively, to reduce our deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be recovered. At December 31, 2020, there were state net operating loss carryforwards of $14,427, which expire in varying amounts from 2021 through 2040. At December 31, 2020, there were foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $10,565, which expire in varying amounts from 2036 through 2040.

These amounts are available to offset future taxable income. There were no federal net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 2020.

We are subject to United States federal income tax, income tax of multiple state jurisdictions and foreign income tax. We are subject to tax audits in the various jurisdictions until the respective statutes of limitations expire. We are no longer subject to United States federal tax examinations for tax years prior to 2016. For the majority of states and foreign jurisdictions, we are no longer subject to tax examinations for tax years prior to 2015.

At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits (excluding the federal benefit received from state positions) was $6,505 and $5,367, respectively. Of these totals, $5,461 and $4,367, respectively, (net of the federal benefit received from state positions) represent the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. Our continuing practice is to recognize penalties within selling, general and administrative expenses and interest related to income tax matters in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of income. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the cumulative amount of estimated accrued interest and penalties resulting from such unrecognized tax benefits was $982 and $855, respectively, and is included in deferred income taxes and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The changes in gross unrecognized tax benefits were as follows:


Balance at December 31, 2017	$	4,225

10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PLANS

Share-Based Compensation Plans

We maintain the 2014 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2014 Plan”) that provides for the award of a broad variety of share-based compensation alternatives such as

non-vested

restricted stock,

non-qualified

stock options, incentive stock options, performance awards, dividend equivalents, deferred stock and stock appreciation rights at no less than 100% of the market price on the date the award is granted. To date, awards under the 2014 Plan consist of

non-qualified

stock options and

non-vested

restricted stock.

Under the 2014 Plan, the number of shares of Common and Class B common stock available for issuance is (i) 2,000,000, plus (ii) 45,421 shares of Common stock or Class B common stock that remained available for grant in connection with awards under the 2001 Plan as of the date our shareholders approved the 2014 Plan plus (iii) shares underlying currently outstanding awards issued under the 2001 Plan, which shares become reissuable under the 2014 Plan to the extent that such underlying shares are not issued due to their forfeiture, expiration, termination or otherwise. A total of 915,752 shares of Common stock, net of cancellations, and 968,166 shares of Class B common stock, had been awarded under the 2014 Plan as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, 161,503 shares of common stock were reserved for future grants under the 2014 Plan. Options under the 2014 Plan vest over two to four years of service and have contractual terms of five years. Awards of

non-vested

restricted stock, which are granted at no cost to the employee, vest upon attainment of a specified age, generally toward the end of an employee’s career at age 62 or older. Vesting may be accelerated in certain circumstances prior to the original vesting date.

Exercise of Stock Options

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during 2020, 2019

and 2018 was $8,753, $4,153

and $3,500, respectively. Cash received from the exercise of stock options during 2020, 2019

and 2018 was $17,608, $11,703

and $5,006, respectively. The tax benefit from stock option exercises during 2020, 2019

and 2018 was $1,586, $626

and $635, respectively. During 2020, 2019

and 2018, 11,455 shares of Common stock with an aggregate fair market value of $2,343, 799 shares of Common stock with an aggregate fair market value of $134 and 7,027 shares of Common stock with an aggregate fair market value of $1,269, respectively, were withheld as payment in lieu of cash for stock option exercises and related tax withholdings. These shares were retired upon delivery.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

The following table provides information on share-based compensation expense:


Years Ended December 31,	2020		2019		2018
Stock options	$	2,447	$	2,440	$	2,014
Non-vested restricted stock		19,682		14,592		13,494

Share-based compensation expense	$	22,129	$	17,032	$	15,508

At December 31, 2020, there was $4,184 of unrecognized pre-tax

compensation expense related to stock options granted under the 2014 Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years. The total fair value of stock options that vested during 2020, 2019

and 2018 was $2,177, $2,055

and $1,607, respectively.

At December 31, 2020, there was $152,187 of unrecognized

pre-tax

compensation expense related to

non-vested

restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 11 years. Of this amount, approximately $57,000 is related to awards granted to our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), of which approximately $4,000, $31,000

and $22,000 vest in approximately 2, 6

and 8 years upon his attainment of age 82, 86

and 88, respectively, and approximately $23,000 is related to awards granted to our President, of which approximately $22,000 and $1,000 vest in approximately 23 and 25 years upon his attainment of age 62 and 64, respectively. In the event that vesting is accelerated for any circumstance, as defined in the related agreements, the remaining unrecognized share-based compensation expense would be immediately recognized as a charge to earnings with a corresponding tax benefit. At December 31, 2020, we were obligated to issue 42,909 shares of

non-vested

restricted stock to our CEO that vest in 8 years and 35,025 shares of

non-vested

restricted stock to our President that vest in 23 years in connection with

2020’s

performance-based incentive compensation

program.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Watsco, Inc. Fourth Amended and Restated 1996 Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) provides for up to 1,500,000 shares of Common stock to be available for purchase by our full-time employees with at least 90 days of service. The ESPP allows participating employees to purchase shares of Common stock at a 5% discount to the fair market value at specified times. During 2020, 2019

and 2018, employees purchased 5,121, 5,676

and 5,151 shares of Common stock at an average price of $171.89, $145.09

and $168.21 per share, respectively. Cash dividends received by the ESPP were reinvested in Common stock and resulted in the issuance of 3,964, 5,087

and 4,338 additional shares during 2020, 2019

and 2018, respectively. We received net proceeds of $1,649, $1,638

and $1,585, respectively, during 2020, 2019

and 2018, for shares of our Common stock purchased under the ESPP. At December 31, 2020, 457,408 shares remained available for purchase under the ESPP.

We have a profit sharing retirement plan for our employees that is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Annual matching contributions are made based on a percentage of eligible employee compensation deferrals. The contribution has historically been made with the issuance of Common stock to the plan on behalf of our employees. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019

and 2018, we issued 25,216, 30,715

and 17,318 shares of Common stock, respectively, to the plan, representing the Common stock discretionary matching contribution of $4,543, $4,274 and $2,945, respectively.

11. PURCHASE OF

REMAINING

OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN JOINT

VENTURE

Effective May 31, 2019, we purchased an additional 20% ownership interest in Homans Associates II LLC (“Homans”) from our second joint venture with Carrier, Carrier Enterprise Northeast, LLC, which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise II, for cash consideration of $32,400, which increased our ownership in Homans to 100%. Homans previously operated as a division of Carrier Enterprise II and subsequent to the purchase operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company with 17 locations in the Northeastern U.S.

12. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITY

On June 21, 2017, our first joint venture with Carrier, Carrier Enterprise, LLC, which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise I, acquired a 34.9% ownership interest in Russell Sigler, Inc. (“RSI”), an HVAC distributor operating from 30 locations in the Western U.S. We have an 80% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise I, and Carrier has a 20%

non-controlling

interest. Carrier Enterprise I acquired its ownership interest in RSI for cash consideration of $63,600, of which we contributed $50,880 and Carrier contributed $12,720. Effective June 29, 2018, Carrier Enterprise I acquired an additional 1.4% ownership interest in RSI, which increased Carrier Enterprise I’s ownership interest in RSI to 36.3% for cash consideration of $3,760, of which we contributed $3,008 and Carrier contributed $752. Effective April 22, 2019, Carrier Enterprise I acquired an additional 1.8% ownership interest in RSI for cash consideration of $4,940, of which we contributed $3,952 and Carrier contributed $988. This acquisition increased Carrier Enterprise I’s ownership interest in RSI to 38.1%.

Carrier Enterprise I is a party to a shareholders’ agreement (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”) with RSI and its shareholders. Pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement, RSI’s 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 either book value or a multiple of EBIT, the latter of which Carrier Enterprise I used to calculate the price paid for its investment in RSI. RSI’s 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 RSI’s shareholders the remaining outstanding shares of RSI common stock. Additionally, Carrier Enterprise I has the right to appoint two of RSI’s six board members. Given Carrier Enterprise I’s 38.1% equity interest in RSI and its right to appoint two out of RSI’s six board members, this investment in RSI is accounted for under the equity method.

13. ACQUISITIONS

15. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

Common stock and Class B common stock share equally in earnings and are identical in most other respects except (i) Common stock is entitled to one vote on most matters and each share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes; (ii) shareholders of Common stock are entitled to elect 25% of the Board of Directors (rounded up to the nearest whole number) and Class B shareholders are entitled to elect the balance of the Board of Directors; (iii) cash dividends may be paid on Common stock without paying a cash dividend on Class B common stock and no cash dividend may be paid on Class B common stock unless at least an equal cash dividend is paid on Common stock and (iv) Class B common stock is convertible at any time into Common stock on a

one-for-one

basis at the option of the shareholder.

Preferred Stock

We are authorized to issue preferred stock with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our Board of Directors. Accordingly, the Board of Directors is empowered, without shareholder approval, to issue preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our Common stock and Class B common stock and, in certain instances, could adversely affect the market price of this stock. We had no preferred stock outstanding at December 31, 2020 or 2019.

Stock Repurchase Plan

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. No shares were repurchased during 2020, 2019 or 2018. We last repurchased shares under this plan during 2008. In aggregate, 6,322,650 shares of Common stock and 48,263 shares of Class B common stock have been repurchased at a cost of $114,425 since the inception of the program. At December 31, 2020, there were 1,129,087 shares remaining authorized for repurchase under the program.

16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Recorded Financial Instruments

Recorded financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, the current portion of long-term obligations and borrowings under our revolving credit agreement. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and the current portion of long-term obligations approximated their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

F-29

Table of Contents

The fair values of variable rate borrowings under our revolving credit agreement also approximate their carrying value based upon interest rates available for similar instruments with consistent terms and remaining maturities.

Off-Balance

Sheet Financial Instruments

At December 31, 2020 and 2019, we were contingently liable under a standby letter of credit for $1,075 and $925, respectively, which was required by a lease for real property. Additionally, at December 31, 2020 and 2019, we were contingently liable under various performance bonds aggregating approximately $11,400 and $10,500, respectively, which are used as collateral to cover any contingencies related to our nonperformance under agreements with certain customers. We do not expect that any material losses or obligations will result from the issuance of the standby letter of credit or performance bonds because we expect to meet our obligations under our lease for real property and to certain customers in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of these instruments is zero.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the customer base and their dispersion across many different geographical regions. We also have access to credit insurance programs which are used as an additional means to mitigate credit risk.

17. DERIVATIVES

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.

Cash Flow Hedging Instruments

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges. The settlement of these derivatives results in reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings for the period in which the settlement of these instruments occurs. The maximum period for which we hedge our cash flow using these instruments is 12 months. Accordingly, at December 31, 2020, all of our open foreign currency forward contracts had maturities of one year or less.

We had on

ly one

foreign currency exchange contract designated as a cash flow hedge at December 31, 2020

, the total notional value of which

was $

1,000

, and such contract subsequently expired during

January 2021

The impact from foreign exchange derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges was as follows:


Years Ended December 31,	2020			2019
Gain (loss) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	1,205		$	(2,001	)
Gain reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings	$	(574	)	$	(482	)

At December 31, 2020, we expected an estimated $402

pre-tax

loss to be reclassified into earnings to reflect the fixed prices obtained from foreign exchange hedging within the next 12 months.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

We have also entered into foreign currency forward and option 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 exchange contract not designated as a hedging instrument at December 31, 2020

, the total notional value of which

was $

4,600

, and such contract subsequently expired during

January 2021

We recognized (losses) gains of $(490), $(540)

and $129 from foreign currency forward and option contracts not designated as hedging instruments in our consolidated statements of income for 2020, 2019

and 2018, respectively.

The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments, which consist solely of foreign exchange contracts, included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. See Note 18.

18. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following tables present our assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are measured on a recurring basis:


		Total		Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2020 Using
	Balance Sheet Location	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Assets:
Equity securities	Other assets	$	6,065	$	6,065		—		—
Liabilities:
Derivative financial instruments	Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	$	101		—	$	101		—


		Total		Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2019 Using

Equity securities	Other assets	$	402	$	402		—		—
Private equities	Other assets	$	2,500		—		—	$	2,500
Liabilities:
Derivative financial instruments	Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	$	1,007		—	$	1,007		—

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:

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.

Derivative financial instruments

– these derivatives are foreign currency forward and option contracts. See Note 17. 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.

Private equities

– investment in Porch.com, Inc. Fair value was based on cost as of December 23, 2019 as inputs for the asset were unobservable, therefore, we classified this investment within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2019. The company went public on December 23, 2020 and accordingly, the fair value was based on the closing stock price from active markets and therefore was transferred to Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy at December 31, 2020.

19. 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 $5,404 and $3,062 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were established related to such programs and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

F-31

Table of Contents

Variable Interest Entity

As of December 31, 2020, in conjunction with our casualty insurance programs, limited equity interests are held in a captive insurance entity. The programs permit us to self-insure a portion of losses, to gain access to a wide array of safety-related services, to pool insurance risks and resources in order to obtain more competitive pricing for administration and reinsurance

and to limit risk of loss in any particular year. The entity meets the definition of Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”); however, we do not meet the requirements to include this entity in the consolidated financial statements. The maximum exposure to loss related to our involvement with this entity is limited to approximately $3,600.

At December 31, 2020, we have a cash deposit of $2,400 with the captive insurance entity as collateral to cover any contingency related to additional risk assessments pertaining to our self-insurance programs. See “Self-Insurance” above for further information on commitments associated with the insurance programs. At December 31, 2020, there were no other entities that met the definition of a VIE.

Purchase Obligations

At December 31, 2020, we were obligated under various

non-cancelable

purchase orders with our key suppliers for goods aggregating approximately $32,000, of which approximately $13,000 is with Carrier and its affiliates.

20. RELATED PARTY

TRANSACTIONS

Purchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 63%, 62%, and 62% of all inventory purchases made during 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, approximately $81,000 and $86,000, 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 consolidated statements of income for 2020, 2019

and 2018 included approximately $103,000, $91,000

and $84,000, respectively, of sales to Carrier and its affiliates. We believe these transactions are conducted on terms equivalent to an

arm’s-length

basis in the ordinary course of business.

A member of our Board of Directors is the Senior Chairman of Greenberg Traurig, P.A., which serves as our principal outside counsel for compliance and acquisition-related legal services. During 2020,

2019

and 2018, fees for services performed were $156, $187, and $131, respectively, and $8 was payable at December 31, 2020.

A member of our Board of Directors is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Moss & Associates LLC, which served as general contractor for the remodeling of our Miami headquarters that was completed in 2018. We paid Moss & Associates LLC $124 for construction services performed during 2018.

Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment and parts and supplies are seasonal. 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 is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year except for dependence on housing completions and related weather and economic conditions.

(2)	Quarterly and year-to-date earnings per share are calculated on an individual basis; therefore, the sum of earnings per share amounts for the quarters may not equal earnings per share amounts for the year.
