RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

PART I.

Item 1. Business

In this Annual Report on Form 10-K, unless the context otherwise dictates, references to “Resideo”, “the Company”, “we,” “us” or “our” means Resideo Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

This Annual Report includes industry and market data that we obtained from various third-party industry and market data sources. While we believe the projections of the industry sources referenced in this Annual Report are reasonable, forecasts based upon such data involve inherent uncertainties, and actual results are subject to change based upon various factors beyond our control. All such industry data is available publicly or for purchase and was not commissioned specifically for us. While we are not aware of any misstatements regarding any market, industry or similar data presented herein, forecasts based upon such data involve inherent uncertainties, and actual results regarding the subject matter of such forecasts are subject to change based upon various factors, including those beyond our control and those discussed under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in this Annual Report.

On October 29, 2018, we separated from Honeywell International Inc. (“Honeywell”), becoming an independent publicly traded company as a result of a pro rata distribution of our common stock to shareholders of Honeywell (the “Spin-Off”). Our common stock began trading “regular way” under the ticker symbol “REZI” on the NYSE on October 29, 2018.

Description of Business

Resideo is a leading global manufacturer and developer of technology-driven products and solutions that provide critical comfort, residential thermal and security solutions to over 150 million homes globally. We are also the leading wholesale distributor of low-voltage security products including intrusion, access control and video products and participate significantly in the broader related markets of smart home, fire, power, audio, ProAV, networking, communications, wire and cable, enterprise connectivity, and structured wiring products. In our newly established Vision and Purpose, we imagine a world where homes and buildings are good for the planet, where technology works to simplify everyday life. In that world, people are healthy, happy, and secure. To create this future, we work every day to simplify the connected world so people have peace of mind and can focus on what matters most.

We have a global footprint serving commercial and residential end markets. Our primary focus is on the professional channel where we are a trusted partner to over 110,000 professional installers. Our global scale, breadth of product offerings, innovation heritage, and differentiated service and support has enabled our trusted relationship with professional installers and has been a key driver of our success. Leveraging our underlying strengths, we are transforming our business with a strategy that includes operational improvements, product innovation, and investments to drive future growth and value creation. We believe our significant presence in the home, both on the wall and behind the wall, positions us well for the value and convenience consumers will expect out of the connected home in the future.

We operate in large markets that sit at the intersection of multiple secular growth trends. We believe the increased desire for critical comfort, residential thermal, and security solutions in the home, combined with the long-term impacts of working from home, are driving investment in the home both in terms of time and dollars. We believe our total addressable market represents approximately a $122 billion inclusive of $32 billion for our comfort, residential thermal solutions and security, and $90 billion for distribution of low-voltage security products and additional adjacent products, including intrusion and smart home, fire, video surveillance, access control, power, audio and video, ProAV, networking, communications, wire and cable, enterprise connectivity and structured wiring. At the same time, the ability to better understand the functioning of a home through sensors, systems and controls, and connectivity has created a large and fast-growing connected home market. According to Statista, the global connected home market is expected to grow at a 17% compounded annual growth rate from $68 billion in 2019 to $208 billion in 2026. To date, we believe this market has been primarily composed of point products and services from a wide variety of industry participants, creating significant complexity for consumers. Given this complexity, we believe a significant opportunity exists to provide products, solutions and services to consumers and professional installers that integrate the disparate sensors, systems and controls inside the home, and enable differentiated insight.

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

We deliver value to our customers via two business segments, Products & Solutions and ADI Global Distribution, which respectively contributed 42.2% and 57.8% of our net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Products & Solutions: Our comfort, residential thermal, and security products and solutions have a presence in over 150 million homes globally and benefit from the trusted, well-established Honeywell Home brand as well as key branded offerings such as Resideo, Braukmann, and others. Our offerings include temperature and humidity control, thermal water and air solutions, as well as security panels, sensors, peripherals, wire and cable, communications devices, video cameras, awareness solutions, cloud infrastructure, installation and maintenance tools, and related software. We are a leading player across the majority of our product categories with 15 million systems installed annually. Through our whole home presence on the wall and behind the wall, we are an enabler of home connectivity with approximately 9.4 million connected customers. Our connected solutions harness this data to provide control, visibility, insights, and alerts to the end user. Our comprehensive product suite has also allowed us to develop and sustain a long-standing partnership with professional installers who have relied on our selection and availability of products and configured solutions to help them succeed for over 100 years. Our broad portfolio of innovative products is delivered through a comprehensive network of over 110,000 professional contractors, more than 3,000 distributors and over 1,200 original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), as well as major retailers and online merchants.

ADI Global Distribution: Our ADI Global Distribution segment is the leading wholesale distributor of low-voltage security products including intrusion, access control and video products, and participates significantly in the broader related markets of smart home, fire, access control, power, audio, ProAV, networking, communications, wire and cable, enterprise connectivity, and structured wiring products. Through nearly 200 stocking locations in 16 countries, ADI Global Distribution distributes more than 350,000 products from over 1,000 manufacturers to a customer base of over 100,000 contractors and is recognized for superior customer service. We believe this global footprint gives us distinct scale and network advantages in our core products over our competitors. Further, we believe our customers derive great value from the advice and recommendations of our knowledgeable design specialists, allowing our customers to better meet the technical and systems integration expertise requirements to install and service professional security systems. We continue to be a leader in the industry with value-added services including presales system design, 24/7 order pick-up, and the selective introduction of new product categories such as professional audio-visual.

Competition

Our industries and markets are highly competitive in both our Products & Solutions and ADI Global Distribution segments, where we compete with global, national, regional and local providers for our products, services and solutions, including manufacturers, distributors, service providers, retailers and online commerce providers, as well as newer entrants to the market with non-traditional business and customer service models or disruptive technologies and products, including cable, telecommunications, and large technology companies competing in the connected home space.

Factors influencing our competitive position in the industry include product and service innovation, our reputation and the reputation of our brands, sales and marketing programs, product performance, reliability and warranty, quality and breadth of product training and events, product availability, speed and accuracy of delivery, service and price, technical support, and credit availability.

Business Strategy

Our management team has significant experience and a track record of leading tech-enabled businesses, developing best-in-class products, and executing organizational change. This team is focused on ingraining a culture of continuous improvement into our organization with the goal of lowering costs, increasing margins and positioning the Company for growth. Leveraging our presence in the home and its relationship with professional installers, management has repositioned the Products & Solutions business to enhance focus and collaboration across business lines and drive products and services innovation.

With ongoing transformation underway, we believe we are well positioned to execute on our growth strategy across both of our segments. Our strategy in Products & Solutions is focused on accelerating our product innovation,

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

expanding our presence in the home and buildings, and over time, enabling connected ecosystems and services grounded in relationships with professional installers. Our ADI Global Distribution growth strategy is focused on increasing our omni channel presence to grow our customer base, expanding into adjacent growth markets, and continuing to enhance our value-add services to support our professional installers’ efficiency and profitability.

Materials and Suppliers

Purchased materials in our manufacture of products include copper, steel, aluminum, plastics, printed circuit boards, semiconductors, and passive electronics. Purchased materials cover a wide range of supplier value-add, from raw materials and single components to subassemblies and complete finished goods, and there are considerable expenditures on both commercial off-the-shelf and make-to-print items. Although execution of material substitutions or supplier changes may be resource intensive and can cause delays and other inefficiencies, alternatives usually exist in the event that a supplier becomes unable to provide material. Raw material price fluctuations, the ability of key suppliers to meet quality and delivery requirements, and catastrophic events can increase the cost and effect the supply of our products and services, and impact our ability to meet commitments to customers. During 2021, we experienced global shortages in key materials and components in certain instances impacting our ability to supply certain products as well as materials price inflation and increased freight costs. In 2022, material prices and availability are likely to fluctuate throughout the year and could affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Manufacturing

Our Products & Solutions business operate manufacturing and distribution facilities throughout the world, including sites in Mexico, Czech Republic, Hungary, the United States, Germany, United Kingdom, Netherlands and China. A significant percentage of our Products & Solutions revenue is derived from products manufactured in our own facilities, with the remainder being “buy to sell” (finished products purchased directly from other manufacturers) or sourced from third-party contract manufacturers. Major activities and competencies in our manufacturing operations include printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, surface mount technologies (SMT), automatic and manual assembly and test, electrotechnical assembly and test, die casting and machining, calibration and final test. We source raw materials and commodities, electronic components and assemblies, and mechanical components and assemblies from a wide range of third-party suppliers worldwide.

Regulatory and Environmental Compliance and Regulatory Capital Expenditures

We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign government requirements relating to environmental health and safety protection standards and permitting, labeling and other requirements regarding, among other things, electronic and wireless communications, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, handling, and disposal of hazardous or toxic materials, remediation of environmental contamination, data privacy, consumer protection, licensing, working conditions for and compensation of our employees and others. Our businesses may also be affected by changes in governmental regulation of energy efficiency and conservation standards, product safety regulations, and consumer privacy and protection regulations. These and other laws and regulations impact the manner in which we conduct our business, and changes in legislation or government policies can affect our worldwide operations, both favorably and unfavorably. For a more detailed description of the various laws and regulations that affect the Company’s business, see Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The Company’s efforts to comply with numerous federal, state, and local laws and regulations applicable to its business and products often results in capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2021, we have recorded a liability for environmental investigation and remediation of approximately $22 million related to sites owned and operated by Resideo. The Company makes capital expenditures to design and upgrade its products to comply with or exceed standards applicable to the industries in which it competes. The Company’s ongoing environmental compliance programs also results in capital expenditures. Regulatory and environmental considerations are a part of all significant capital expenditure decisions; however, expenditures in 2021 related solely to regulatory compliance were not material. It is management’s opinion that the amount of any future capital expenditures related to compliance with any individual regulation or grouping of related regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our financial results or competitive position in any one year. See Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of environmental matters.

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Human Capital

As of December 31, 2021, we employed approximately 13,300 employees in 32 countries. About 3,300 employees were located in the United States, and the remaining ~10,000 employees were located primarily in Mexico, the Czech Republic and the United Kingdom. Approximately 170 employees in the U.S. were subject to collective bargaining, with ~1,000 additional employees outside of the U.S. subject to collective bargaining. We believe overall our relations with our workforce are good.

Health and Safety: The Company’s commitment to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all employees continued throughout 2021. The continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has meant our previously developed strategies to protect our employees and customers have remained in place. These actions included formation of a response team, contact tracing and tracking of exposure and positive cases, enhanced cleaning protocols, moving to work from home where possible, suspension of most business travel and in-person meetings, the purchase of face coverings, gloves, hand sanitizer, and hand held scanning devices, installation of thermal scanners at our manufacturing sites, installation of floor demarcations and plastic shields in our ADI branches and on manufacturing lines, weekly internal audits, leasing of additional vans to permit distancing where we provide transportation to employees, daily symptom self-assessments, enhanced employee benefits, and policies requiring face coverings and physical distancing. In addition, we took several actions to promote employees obtaining the COVID-19 vaccine, including a social media campaign, providing a donation to a non-profit for each employee who reported they had been vaccinated, providing schedule flexibility and paid time off to employees to obtain the vaccine, providing transportation to vaccine clinics and holding vaccine clinics for employees at certain sites. In the United States, we also tracked status and prepared for implementation of executive orders regarding vaccinations and weekly testing. For a more detailed description of the potential impact of COVID on the Company’s business, see Item 1A. Risk Factors.

At the end of 2021 our global Total Case Incident Rate or “TCIR” (the number of occupational injuries and illnesses per 100 employees) was 0.48, which was significantly lower than the North American Industry Classification System injury rate for Automatic Environmental Controls of 1.4 (as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). We monitor our safety through a balanced scorecard of key performance indicators. In addition to reactive incident management investigation and root cause analysis indicators, we measure and analyze the data generated from our hazard observation, designated HSE inspections by line managers and internal audit programs by accredited HSE lead auditors to provide insights and intelligence that help us proactively mitigate issues before they result in incidents.

Total Rewards: Our primary reward strategy is ensuring “pay-for-performance” on an annual basis, as well as over the long term, which drives a mindset of accountability and productivity. Our compensation guiding principles are to structure compensation that is simple, aligned and balanced. We structure and administer our rewards programs in a manner consistent with good governance practices. We believe that the interests of employees must be aligned with our shareholders. We provide comprehensive, competitive and contemporary benefits that recognize the diversity of our workforce and are designed to meet the varying needs of our employees and promote choice. Our package includes paid time off, flexible work schedules, education assistance programs and more.

These actions reinforce our culture that values employees and seeks to attract and retain the talent that we need to win in the market. We believe the combination of our competitive pay-for-performance compensation programs and our comprehensive benefit programs demonstrate our commitment to a compelling total rewards value proposition for our employees.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: The Company is committed to creating a diverse, equitable and inclusive working environment. We maintain employee resource groups (ERGs) across six categories: Women, LGBTQIA+, Black, Latino, Veterans, and People with Differing Abilities. Each ERG is sponsored and supported by a senior leader of the company and our ERGs have held conversations with our executive leadership to discuss ideas for improving our culture of inclusion. Each ERG has increased membership in 2021. Our corporate functions and business units continue to track progress with respect to our diversity and inclusion initiatives.

Diversity is a core component of our recruiting strategy. Our diversity outreach includes contacting various categories of diversity job boards, including HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges and Universities). Diversity is a key component of service level agreements we maintain with our RPO (recruiting process outsourcing) partners to

6

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

ensure they are accountable and meet our sourcing standards. This year we rolled out diverse slate guidelines for our career level 5+ roles requiring that interview slates include female and/or racially/ethnically diverse candidates, except in rare circumstances. We partnered with an RPO vendor to deliver training on mitigating bias in hiring for our people managers.

Talent Acquisition, Management and Development: We have a robust recruiting model to attract all levels of talent across the regions where we operate. In 2021, our average time to fill open roles was 44 days, and we hired 4,000 employees, of which approximately 2,600 were production workers. We continue to leverage our virtual interviewing platforms and onboarding experience to mitigate COVID-19 risk. Internally, strategic talent reviews and succession planning occur on an annual basis, globally and across all business areas.

In 2021, we launched another cycle of our Employee Voice Survey. This survey allows each function in our company to see its ratings across three levers: Motivation, Ability, and Knowledge of Expectations. Our score for the 2021 cycle was 7.6 on a 10-point scale, with an employee Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 26, an increase of 3 points over last year, on a scale ranging from -100 to +100 (based on industry standards for employee NPS, any score above 10 is considered good). Each sub-organization is tasked with creating an action plan based on feedback received.

Managers and their team members continue to participate in quarterly “Pulse” conversations to set performance expectations and monitor and evaluate performance. People managers at Resideo are strongly encouraged to give frequent, informal feedback so that employees are always clear on their performance level. We strongly believe in the importance of the role that people managers play and continue to provide quarterly people manager trainings. In 2021, we also created a Learning Community for our people managers, which is a space for them to easily access a multitude of trainings that can help them enhance their skills.

To better support the development of our employees, we invested in a new mentorship platform that makes more effective pairings, provides developmental resources for both mentors and mentees, and facilitates a natural progression of a mentoring relationship through detailed session agendas. Our program has just under 400 members in paired mentorships, and the standard mentorship length is 6 months – 1 year.

In order to better assist our employees in developing a career plan at Resideo, we have launched an interactive Career Navigator. This resource includes an opportunity map for employees to learn more about different functions and sub-functions as well as which skills and competencies are required to succeed in them.

We believe that making investments in our future leaders will improve our bench strength and have partnered with CrossLead to develop the Resideo Leadership Academy (RLA). Up and coming leaders have been chosen to participate in this program, which will officially launch in the second quarter of 2022. Participants will learn from our executive leaders and CrossLead instructors, following the “Team of Teams” methodology taught by CrossLead. Participants in this program will also work on group 'stretch' projects together that solve important company needs while simultaneously allowing them to put their learnings from the RLA into practice.

Culture: In 2021, we redefined our culture to better fit our current workforce and company strategy. We updated our vision and purpose statements and identified new leadership competencies. We moved from our previous four 'Energies' to 'Values,':

Start with the Customer: We understand our customers’ needs and pride ourselves on delivering exceptional experiences.

Act as One Team: We work together toward common goals, engaging from a place of humility and respect.

Pioneer the Future: We embrace change, boldly step into the unknown, and relentlessly foster innovation to fuel our growth.

Make a Difference: We care about the long-lasting, positive impact we make on each other, our customers, our communities, and the planet.

7

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

In order to effectively operationalize these new values into our culture, we overhauled our internal and external materials to reflect these new changes, incorporated these values into our staffing materials and processes, re-vamped our recognition program, and created leadership materials for the transition.

Seasonality

Our Products & Solutions business experiences a moderate level of seasonality. Sales activity is generally highest in the fall and early winter months, reflecting increased customer purchases of heating related products with the highest sales at the end of the third quarter and throughout the fourth quarter in the majority of our geographical markets.

Research and Development and Intellectual Property

We have software centers of excellence in Austin, Texas; Bengaluru, India; and Melville, New York, along with major product design centers in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Latin America. In addition, our laboratories are certified to meet various industry standards, such as FCC and UL, enabling us to test and certify products internally. We also have a user experience design group that consists of researchers and product and user experience designers aligned with development sites with the primary studios in Golden Valley, Minnesota. As of December 31, 2021, we employed approximately 926 engineers.

Our deep domain expertise, proprietary technology and brands are protected by a combination of patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, non-disclosure agreements, and contractual provisions. We own approximately 2,300 worldwide active patents and pending patent applications to protect our research and development investments in new products and services. We have and will continue to protect our products and technology by asserting our intellectual property rights against third-party infringers. See Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information. We also have a significant trademark license with Honeywell in connection with our use of the Honeywell Home trademark as well as certain intellectual property licensed by Honeywell to us in connection with the Spin-Off. For a more detailed description of the various intellectual property rights and relationships that affect the Company’s business, see Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider all of the information in this Form 10-K and each of the risks described below, which we believe are the material risks that we face.

Any of these risks, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and the actual outcome of matters as to which forward-looking statements are made in this Form 10-K.

The following risk factors are not necessarily presented in order of relative importance and should not be considered to represent a complete set of all potential risks that could affect us.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We operate in highly competitive markets; we may have competition for acquisitions and may not achieve our integration goals with acquired businesses.

We operate in highly competitive markets in both our Products & Solutions and ADI Global Distribution segments and compete directly with global, national, regional, and local providers of our products, services and solutions including manufacturers, distributors, service and software providers, retailers, and online commerce providers. The most significant competitive factors we face are product and service innovation, reputation of our Company and brands, sales and marketing programs, product performance, warranty, quality of product training and events, product availability, speed and accuracy of delivery, price, customer and technical support, and furnishing of customer credit, with the relative importance of these factors varying among our segments and their respective products and services.

In addition to current competitive factors, there have been, and in the future, there may be new market entrants with non-traditional business, new business and customer service models or disruptive technologies and products, resulting in increased competition and changing business dynamics. Examples of these include cable, telecommunications and large technology companies competing in the connected home and home security spaces, utilities expanding their role in the provision of home energy services, OEMs vertically integrating, and the expansion of direct-to-consumer, retail and e-tail distribution in competition with our ADI Global Distribution business. Existing or future competitors may seek to gain or retain market share by reducing prices, or shifting business models to a software-based model, and we may be required to lower prices or may lose business, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Also, to the extent that we do not meet changing customer preferences or demands or other market changes, or if one or more of our competitors introduces new products or services, becomes more successful with private label products, online offerings or establishes exclusive supply relationships, our ability to attract and retain customers could be adversely affected.

To remain competitive, we will need to invest continually in product and services development, marketing, customer service and support, manufacturing and our distribution networks. We may not have sufficient resources to continue to make such investments and we may be unable to maintain our competitive position including due to the fact that our competitors and potential competitors may have greater brand recognition, resources, access to capital, including greater research and development or sales and marketing funds, more customers, lower costs and more advanced technology platforms, particularly with our products and services in connected services and in new geographic regions. It is possible that competitive pressures resulting from consolidation, including customers taking manufacturing or distribution in house, purchasing directly from a manufacturer instead of from ADI Global Distribution, moving to a competitor, partnering with third parties and consolidation amongst our customers, could affect our growth and profit margins.

Some of our competitors may also be able to deliver their service solutions more quickly to market than we can by capitalizing on technology developed in connection with their substantial existing service models. In addition,

9

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

some of our competitors have significant bases of customer adoption in other services and in online content, which they could use as a competitive advantage in the growing connected home solutions services market or otherwise in our product or distribution businesses. The expansion by large technology companies into connected home solutions, could result in pricing pressure, a shift in customer preferences towards the services of these companies and a reduction in our market share. In addition, in order to successfully compete, our products often need to integrate with the platforms of our competitors, who may be able to focus more on their own solutions versus ours, which may make it difficult to compete for the consumer market.

Our Products & Solutions business' offerings are primarily sold through a network of professional contractors, distributors, OEMs, retailers and online merchants. Growth of the retail markets and greater e-tail distribution alternatives relative to the professional installation markets may negatively impact our sales and margins, which could negatively affect our cash flow and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and cash flows.

With respect to our ADI Global Distribution business, if retail outlets, including online commerce or big box stores increase their participation in wholesale distribution markets, or if buying patterns for our products become more retail or e-commerce based through these outlets than they currently are, our ADI Global Distribution business may not be able to effectively compete, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Technology in our markets is changing rapidly and our future results and growth are largely dependent upon our ability to develop and successfully market new technologies and products and develop and protect the intellectual property related thereto as well as defend against the intellectual property threats of others.

Technology in our markets changes constantly, as new technologies and enhancements to existing technologies continue to be introduced both in our traditional and connected product markets. Our future results depend upon a number of factors, including our ability to (i) identify emerging technological trends, (ii) develop and maintain competitive products, in part by adding innovative features that differentiate our products from those of our competitors and prevent commoditization of our products, as well as through the use of intellectual property protections such as patents and trade secrets, (iii) grow our market share, (iv) develop, manufacture and bring compelling new products to market quickly and cost-effectively, (v) find and effectively partner with and continue to partner with home connected device platforms and (vi) attract, develop and retain individuals with the requisite technical expertise and understanding of customers’ needs to develop new technologies and introduce new products. Our inability to predict the growth of and respond in a timely way to customer preferences and other developments could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We rely on a combination of patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, trade secrets and other proprietary rights, as well as contractual arrangements, including licenses, to establish, maintain and protect our intellectual property rights. Our intellectual property rights may not be sufficient to permit us to take advantage of some business opportunities. As a result, we may be required to change our plans or acquire necessary intellectual property rights, which could be costly. Furthermore, our ability to enforce our intellectual property rights in emerging markets may be limited by legal or practical considerations that have not historically affected our business in markets with more established intellectual property protection systems.

Our industry experiences significant intellectual property litigation and we could become involved in costly and lengthy litigation involving patents or other intellectual property rights which could adversely affect our business. We have received allegations of patent infringement from third parties, including both operating companies and non-practicing entity patent holders, as well as communications from customers requesting indemnification for allegations brought by third parties. These have resulted in ongoing patent litigation relating to our combustion and comfort products and may continue to result in new litigation. These proceedings could subject us to significant liability, harm our ability to compete, and can divert our management’s time and attention. Often, we receive offers to license patents for our use. Such offers typically relate to various technologies including electronics, the “internet of things”, “connected homes”, power systems, controls, and software, as well as, the use of certain wireless networking methods, and the design of specific products. We believe that we will be able to access any necessary rights through licensing, cross-licensing, or other mutually beneficial arrangements, although to the extent we are required but unable to enter into such arrangements on acceptable economic terms, it could adversely impact us, requiring us to take specific actions including ceasing using, selling or manufacturing certain products, services or processes or incurring significant costs and time delays to develop alternative technologies or re-design products.

Our operations depend upon third-party technologies, software, and intellectual property. Failure to renew contracts with existing providers or licensors of technology, software, intellectual property or connectivity solutions, or to contract with other providers or licensors on commercially acceptable terms or at all, as well as any failure by such third-party provider to provide such technology solutions may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We could also be subjected to claims of infringement regardless of our lack of involvement in the development of the licensed technology. Although a third-party licensor is typically obligated to indemnify us if the licensed technology infringes on another party’s intellectual property rights, such indemnification is typically limited in amount and may be worthless if the licensor becomes insolvent.

We rely on certain suppliers of products, materials and components and are otherwise subject to raw material price and supply variability with our suppliers which may impact our ability to meet commitments to customers and cause us to incur significant liabilities.

Both of our business segments depend on third parties for the supply of certain materials and components for products we manufacture and those manufactured on our behalf, or sold through our ADI Global Distribution business, some of which are supplied by single or limited source suppliers/manufacturers. Our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows have been and could continue to be adversely affected by disruptions in supply from our third-party suppliers and manufacturers, whether due to work stoppages, component failures, material inflation, natural disasters, pandemics, economic, political, financial or labor concerns, weather conditions affecting products or shipments or transportation disruptions or other reasons, or if suppliers lack sufficient quality control or if there are significant changes in their financial or business condition or otherwise. For example, there is currently a global semiconductor supply shortage. While our supply chain team has been diligently working to help ensure surety of supply, we have experienced instances where our third-party suppliers and manufacturers have failed to deliver materials, products, parts and components on time and at reasonable prices, and we have had and could continue to have difficulties fulfilling our orders or stocking our distribution centers on similar terms or at all. Sales and profits could decline, and our commercial reputation could be damaged if these trends continue. Our ability to manage inventory and meet delivery requirements has been and may continue to be constrained by our suppliers’ inability to scale production and adjust delivery of long-lead-time products during times of volatile demand. Our inability to fill our supply needs would jeopardize our ability to fulfill obligations which could, in turn, result in reduced sales and profits, contract penalties or terminations, and damage to customer relationships. In addition, terminations of supply or services agreements or a change in terms or conditions of sale from one or more of our key manufacturers could negatively affect our ADI Global Distribution’s operating margins, net revenue or the level of capital required to fund operations.

11

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Manufacturers who currently distribute their products through our ADI Global Distribution business may decide to shift to or substantially increase their existing distribution with other distributors, their own dealer networks, or directly to resellers or end-users. This could result in more intense competition as distributors strive to secure distribution rights with these manufacturers, which could have an adverse impact on our ADI Global Distribution business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, our ADI Global Distribution business may not be able to acquire from manufacturers certain product lines that we are interested in adding to our distribution business, and if even we are able to add products, they may not result in sales as expected and may not be profitable to the overall business.

Our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and stock price may be materially adversely impacted by pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies, such as the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.

Our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and stock price may be adversely affected by pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 (including newly discovered variants) virus pandemic as described in this Annual Report, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. This outbreak has negatively impacted and could continue to negatively impact the global economy. While we endeavor to continue to comply with all applicable health and sanitation and legal requirements, it is possible we may fail to keep up with ever changing required health and safety protocols. We cannot ensure uninterrupted operations in geographical areas impacted by COVID-19, and similar to many employers could experience a decline in the number of available workers, which could impact productivity. Deterioration in economic conditions could reduce our sales and profitability. Any financial distress of our customers due to deterioration in economic conditions or lack of continued governmental funding and support of our customers could result in reduced sales and decreased collectability of accounts receivable which could negatively impact our results of operations. The COVID-19 outbreak has had, and could continue to have, an impact on our ability to obtain certain of the raw materials, parts and components we need to manufacture our products as our suppliers face disruptions in their businesses, and disruptions to other aspects of our business. We depend greatly on our suppliers for items that are essential to the manufacturing of our products. If our suppliers fail to meet our manufacturing needs, it could delay our production and our product shipments to customers and negatively affect our operations. While we are considered as an essential product and service provider pursuant to laws, rules and regulations in the majority of regions in which we operate, which has generally provided us with the ability to continue to operate during the COVID-19 pandemic, we may be subject to changing laws, rules and regulations, and limitations on the scope of essential businesses, which may impact our ability to operate in such regions. In addition, we have in the past and may continue in the future during the pendency of the coronavirus pandemic, been subject to government inspections of our manufacturing facilities to confirm compliance with government regulations related to employee health and safety at our sites.

To the extent the COVID-19 outbreak adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section.

Market and economic conditions may adversely affect the economic conditions of our customers, demand for our products and services and our results of operations.

As a global provider of comfort, residential thermal, and security products, services and technologies for the home, as well as a worldwide wholesale distributor of low-voltage electronics products, as well as smart home, fire, power, audio and ProAV, networking, communications, wire and cable, enterprise connectivity, and structured wiring products, our business is affected by the performance of the global new and repair and remodel construction industry. Our markets are sensitive to changes in the regions in which we operate and are also influenced by cyclical factors such as interest rates, inflation, availability of financing, consumer spending habits and confidence, housing market changes, employment rates and other macroeconomic factors over which we have no control, and which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Failure to achieve and maintain a high level of product and service quality could damage our reputation with customers and negatively impact our results.

Product and service quality issues could result in a negative impact on customer confidence in our Company, our products and our brand image. If our offerings do not meet applicable legal and safety standards or our customers’ expectations regarding safety or quality, or if our products are improperly designed, manufactured, packaged, or labeled, or are otherwise alleged to cause harm or injury, we may need to recall those items, experience increased warranty costs or lost sales and increased costs and be exposed to legal, financial and reputational risks including litigation and government enforcement action, as well as product liability claims. Such actions may damage our relationship with our customers which may result in a loss of market share; additionally, the financial expenses related to such events may not be covered by our insurance or may be subject to deductibles. We may not be able to obtain indemnity or reimbursement from our suppliers or other third parties for the warranty costs or liabilities associated with our products and there can be no assurance that we will have adequate reserves to cover any recalls, repair and replacement costs. A significant product recall, warranty claim, or product liability case, especially with respect to our security and life safety-related products or services, could also result in adverse publicity, damage to our reputation, and a loss of consumer confidence in our products and services. We have in the past experienced, and may in the future experience, product recalls and litigation related to our products or services, none of which have been material to date.

We may from time to time pursue acquisitions. Our business may be adversely affected if we cannot consummate acquisitions on satisfactory terms, or if we cannot effectively integrate acquired companies or assets

We have in the past and may from time to time in the future continue to pursue and consummate acquisitions of companies or assets. Our ability to consummate any future acquisitions will be partially dependent upon the availability of suitable acquisition candidates at favorable prices and upon advantageous terms and conditions. We may not be able to find suitable acquisition candidates to purchase or may be unable to acquire desired businesses or assets on economically acceptable terms or may be unable to receive necessary regulatory approvals or support.

We regularly engage in discussions with respect to potential acquisition and investment opportunities. The consummation of any particular acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to raise the capital necessary to fund such acquisition which may not be available to us at all or on economically advantageous terms. In addition, if we consummate an acquisition, our capitalization and results of operations may change significantly. Future acquisitions could result in margin dilution and further could result in the incurrence of additional debt and contingent liabilities and an increase in interest and amortization expenses or periodic impairment charges related to goodwill and other intangible assets as well as significant charges relating to integration costs.

Acquisitions involve risks that the businesses acquired will not perform in accordance with expectations and that business judgments concerning the value, strengths and weaknesses of businesses acquired will prove incorrect. We may not be successful in effectively identifying all risks of an acquired business, integrating the acquired business, product or technology into our existing business and operations or realizing the benefits expected at acquisition. Our due diligence may fail to identify all of the liabilities or challenges of an acquired business, product or technology, including issues related to intellectual property, product quality or product architecture, regulatory compliance practices, revenue recognition or other accounting practices or employee or customer issues. We may not be able to achieve the operational synergies or savings nor any growth targets identified in acquisition diligence. The successful integration of future acquisitions may also require substantial attention from our senior management and the management of the acquired business, which could decrease the time that they have to service, attract customers and develop new products and services or attend to other acquisition opportunities.

We may not be able to retain or expand relationships with certain significant customers.

A number of our customers contribute significantly to our net revenue and operating income. Consolidation or change of control, particularly among our OEM customers (and in certain instances, their authorized dealers), or a decision by any one or more of our customers to outsource all or most manufacturing work to a single equipment manufacturer, or partner with third parties may continue to concentrate our business in a limited number of customers and expose us to increased risks relating to dependence on a smaller number of customers. We generally have to qualify, and are required to maintain our status, as a supplier for each of our OEM customers. A significant failure or inability to comply with customer specifications and manufacturing requirements or delays or other problems with

13

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

existing or new products or inability to meet price requirements could result in financial penalties, cancelled orders, increased costs, loss of sales, market share shift, loss of customers or potential breaches of customer contracts, which have had and could in the future have an adverse effect on our profitability and results of operations. By virtue of certain customers’ size and the significant portion of revenue that we derive from them, they are able to exert significant influence in the negotiation of our commercial agreements and the conduct of our business with them. If we are unable to retain and expand our business with these customers on favorable terms, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be adversely affected.

Failure to increase productivity through sustainable operational improvements, as well as an inability to successfully execute transformation programs or to effectively manage our workforce, may reduce our profitability or adversely impact our businesses.

Our profitability and margin growth are dependent upon our ability to drive sustainable improvements. In addition, we seek productivity and cost savings benefits through our ongoing transformation and other programs, such as consolidation and outsourcing of manufacturing operations or facilities, transitions to cost-competitive regions, workforce optimizations, product line rationalizations and divestitures, and other cost-saving initiatives. Risks associated with these actions include delays in execution of the planned initiatives, additional unexpected costs, asset impairments, realization of fewer than estimated productivity improvements, and adverse effects on employee morale leading to reduced production and unanticipated departures. We may not realize the full operational or financial benefits we expect and the recognition of these benefits may be delayed and these actions may potentially disrupt our operations. In addition, organizational changes, attrition, labor relations difficulties, or work stoppages could have an adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

We are subject to the economic, political, health, epidemic, regulatory, foreign exchange and other risks of international operations.

Our international revenues represented approximately 28% of our net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021. Our international geographic footprint subjects us to many risks including: exchange control regulations; wage and price controls; antitrust/competition and environmental regulations; employment regulations; foreign investment laws; monetary and fiscal policies and protectionist measures that may prohibit acquisitions or joint ventures, establish local content requirements, or impact trade volumes; import, export and other trade restrictions (such as embargoes); violations by our employees of anti-corruption laws (despite our efforts to mitigate these risks); changes in regulations regarding transactions with state-owned enterprises; nationalization of private enterprises; natural and man-made disasters, hazards and losses; backlash from foreign labor organizations related to our restructuring actions; violence, civil and labor unrest; acts of terrorism; health epidemics; and our ability to hire and maintain qualified staff and maintain the safety of our employees in these regions. Additionally, certain of the markets in which we operate have adopted increasingly strict data privacy and data protection requirements or may require local storage and processing of data or similar requirements.

Instabilities and uncertainties arising from the global geopolitical environment can negatively impact our business. The implementation of more restrictive trade policies or the renegotiation of existing trade agreements in the U.S. or other countries where we sell or manufacture large quantities of products and services or procure supplies and other materials incorporated into our products could negatively impact our business results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. For example, a government’s adoption of “buy national” policies or retaliation by another government against such policies, such as tariffs or quotas, could have a negative impact on our results of operations.

Tariffs, sanctions and other barriers to trade could adversely affect the business of our customers and suppliers, which could in turn negatively impact our net revenue and results of operations. Instabilities and uncertainties arising from the global geopolitical environment, along with the cost of compliance with increasingly complex regulations worldwide, can impair our flexibility in modifying product, marketing, pricing or other strategies for growing our businesses, as well as our ability to improve productivity and maintain acceptable operating margins.

As a result of our global presence, a portion of our net revenue are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar, whereas a significant amount of our payment obligations, including pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement, and our debt obligations are denominated in U.S. Dollars, which exposes us to foreign exchange risk. We monitor and may seek to reduce such risk through hedging activities; however, foreign

14

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

exchange hedging activities bear a financial cost and may not always be available to us or be successful in eliminating such volatility. Finally, we generate significant amounts of cash outside of the United States that is invested with financial counterparties. While we employ comprehensive controls regarding global cash management to guard against cash or investment loss and to ensure our ability to fund our operations and commitments, a material disruption to the counterparties with whom we transact business could expose us to financial loss.

We operate in many diverse regions that require modifications to our products based on local building codes, regulations, standards, certifications and other factors, which may impact our cost to serve and profitability as we continue our penetration into these regions.

We rely on a dependable IT infrastructure and network operations that have adequate cyber-security functionality to produce and sell our products and solutions and manage our business.

The efficient operation of our business requires substantial investment in technology infrastructure systems, including enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) systems, information systems, supply chain management systems, digital commerce systems and connected solutions platforms and network operations and systems. The failure to acquire, implement, maintain and upgrade as required, these systems may impact our ability to respond effectively to changing customer expectations, manage our business, scale our solutions effectively or impact our customer service levels, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage and negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Repeated or prolonged interruptions of service, due to problems with our systems or third- party technologies, whether or not in our control, could have a significant negative impact on our reputation and our ability to sell products and services. Our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows may be adversely affected if our information systems fail or do not allow us to transmit accurate information. Failure to properly or adequately address these issues, including the failure to fund upgrades and improvements to our systems, could impact our ability to perform necessary business operations, which could adversely affect our reputation, competitive position, business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Our ability to keep our business operating is highly dependent on the proper and efficient operation of our data centers, networks, and data backup systems. In addition, a significant portion of our employees are and have been engaged in remote work from their homes during COVID-19; this further exposes our information technology systems to potential cyber interference and disruption of work activities based on availability and performance of Internet access in the regions in which our employees reside.

15

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Our information technology (“IT”) and engineering systems contain sensitive information, including personal data, trade secrets, and other proprietary information. In addition, our connected products potentially expose our business and customers to cybersecurity threats. As a result, we are subject to systems interruption and service and product failures, not only resulting from the failures of our products or services but also from the failures of third-party service providers, natural disasters, power shortages or terrorist attacks, and cyber or other security threats. There is no assurance that the comprehensive security measures we have put in place to protect our IT and engineering systems, services, and products against unauthorized access and disclosure of personal data or confidential or trade secret information will be effective in every case.

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, cybersecurity threats and incidents, none of which, to our knowledge, have been material to date. The potential consequences of a material cyber or other security incident such as a ransomware attack include financial loss, reputational and brand impact, negative media coverage, loss of customers, litigation with third parties, including class-action litigation, regulatory investigations or actions, theft of intellectual property, fines, diminution in the value of our investment in research, development and engineering, regulatory reporting for data breaches, and increased cyber and other security protection and remediation costs due to the increasing sophistication and proliferation of threats, which in turn could adversely affect our competitiveness, business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. In addition, damages, fines and claims arising from such incidents may not be covered by, or may exceed the amount of any insurance available or may not be insurable.

Failure to increase productivity through sustainable operational improvements, as well as an inability to successfully execute transformation programs or to effectively manage our workforce, may reduce our profitability or adversely impact our businesses.

Our profitability and margin growth are dependent upon our ability to drive sustainable improvements. In addition, we seek productivity and cost savings benefits through our ongoing transformation and other programs, such as consolidation and outsourcing of manufacturing operations or facilities, transitions to cost-competitive regions, workforce optimizations, product line rationalizations and divestitures, and other cost-saving initiatives. Risks associated with these actions include delays in execution of the planned initiatives, additional unexpected costs, asset impairments, realization of fewer than estimated productivity improvements, and adverse effects on employee morale leading to reduced production and unanticipated departures. We may not realize the full operational or financial benefits we expect and the recognition of these benefits may be delayed and these actions may potentially disrupt our operations. In addition, organizational changes, attrition, labor relations difficulties, or work stoppages could have an adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

We are subject to risks associated with the Reimbursement Agreement, pursuant to which we are required to make substantial cash payments to Honeywell, measured in substantial part by reference to estimates by Honeywell of certain of its liabilities.

In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into the Reimbursement Agreement, described in Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In each calendar quarter, our ability to pay dividends and repurchase capital stock, or take other material corporate actions, in such calendar quarter will be restricted until any amounts payable under the Reimbursement Agreement in such quarter are paid to Honeywell and we will be required to use available restricted payment capacity under our debt agreements to make payments in respect of any such amounts. Payment of deferred amounts and certain other amounts could cause the amount we are required to pay under the Reimbursement Agreement in respect of liabilities arising in any given calendar year to exceed $140 million. All amounts payable under the Reimbursement Agreement are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries that act as guarantors under our principal credit agreement, subject to certain exceptions. Under the Reimbursement Agreement, we are subject to certain of the affirmative and negative covenants that are substantially similar to those presently included in our principal credit agreement. Further, pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement, our ability to (i) amend or enter into waivers under our principal credit agreement or our indenture, (ii) enter into another credit agreement or our indenture or make amendments or waivers thereto, or (iii) enter into or amend or waive any provisions under other agreements, in each case, in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of Honeywell under the Reimbursement Agreement, may be subject to Honeywell’s prior written consent. The covenants contained in the Reimbursement Agreement and/or the consent right described in the preceding sentence may significantly limit our ability to engage in many types of significant transactions on favorable terms (or at all),

16

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

including, but not limited to, equity and debt financings, liability management transactions, refinancing transactions, mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and other strategic transactions. The Reimbursement Agreement may have material adverse effects on our liquidity and cash flows and on our results of operations, regardless of whether we experience a decline in net revenue. The Reimbursement Agreement may also require us to accrue significant long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet, the amounts of which will be dependent on factors outside our control, including Honeywell’s responsibility to manage and determine the outcomes of claims underlying the liabilities. This may have a significant negative impact on the calculation of key financial ratios and other metrics that are important to investors, rating agencies and securities analysts in evaluating our creditworthiness, and the value of our securities. Although we will have access to information regarding these liabilities as we may reasonably request for certain purposes, as well as the ability to participate in periodic standing meetings with Honeywell’s remediation management team responsible for management of the underlying claims, the payment obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement relate to legal proceedings, costs and remediation efforts that we will not control, and we accordingly do not expect to be able to make definitive decisions regarding settlements or other outcomes that could influence our potential related exposure.

Regulations and societal actions to respond to global climate change could negatively affect our business.

Responses to climate change may cause a shift away from fossil fuels to alternative power sources such as electricity or alternative fuels such as natural gas/hydrogen mixtures. Many of our thermal solutions are designed for application with oil and gas systems. A shift away from fossil fuels could affect our OEM customers’ business and result in a loss of business for them and for us. If we fail to adapt our solutions to alternative power sources, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Similarly, regulations to drive higher fuel efficiency and requirements to support varying fuel mix could shift business away from us if we fail to adapt our solutions to address these needs in a timely manner.

Risks Relating to Legal and Regulatory Matters

Failure to comply with the broad range of standards, laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate may result in exposure to substantial disruptions, costs and liabilities.

The laws and regulations impacting us impose complex, stringent and costly compliance activities, including but not limited to environmental, health, and safety protection standards and permitting, labeling and other requirements regarding, among other things, electronic and wireless communications, air emissions, wastewater discharges, the use, handling, and disposal of hazardous or toxic materials, remediation of environmental contamination, data security, data protection and data privacy, consumer protection and working conditions, and benefits for and compensation of our employees. We may also be affected by future standards, laws or regulations, including those imposed in response to energy, climate change, product functionality, geopolitical, corporate social responsibility, privacy or similar concerns. We expect that the growth of our business may depend on our development of new technologies in response to legislation and regulations related to efficiency standards, safety, privacy and security, and environmental concerns. These standards, laws, or regulations may further impact our costs of operation, the sourcing of raw materials, and the manufacture and distribution of our products and place restrictions and other requirements or impediments on the products and solutions we can sell in certain geographical locations. The net revenue and margins of our business are directly impacted by government regulations, including safety, performance and product certification regulations, particularly those driven by customer demands and national approvals, as well as changes in trade agreements, tariffs, and environmental and energy efficiency standards. We may develop unexpected legal contingencies or matters that exceed, or are excluded from, insurance coverage. We are subject to and in the future may be subject to various claims, including legal claims arising in the normal course of business. Such claims may include without limitation employment and benefits claims, product recall, personal injury, network security, breaches of or other non-compliance with data security, data protection or data privacy regulations, or property damage claims resulting from the use of our products, services, or solutions, as well as exposure to hazardous materials, contract disputes, or intellectual property disputes. The actual costs of resolving legal claims may be substantially higher or lower than the level of insurance coverage we hold and/or the amounts accrued for such claims or may be excluded from coverage. In the event of unexpected future developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolutions of such matters could be unfavorable.

17

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Various laws and regulations apply to the collection, processing, transfer, disposal, disclosure and security of personal data and other types of regulated data. The interpretation and application of many privacy and data protection laws and regulations around the world may be inconsistent with our existing data management practices or the features of our products and services. Any such new laws or regulations, any changes to existing laws and regulations and any such interpretation may affect demand for our products and services, impact our ability to effectively transfer data across borders in support of our business operations, or increase the cost of providing our products and services. Additionally, any actual or perceived breach of such laws or regulations may subject us to claims and may lead to administrative, civil or criminal liability, as well as reputational harm. We could also be required to fundamentally change our business activities and practices, or modify our products and services, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Claims or lawsuits related to data security, data protection or data privacy initiated by governmental bodies, customers or other third parties, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly regulatory proceedings, litigation, penalties and fines, or require us to change our business practices, sometimes in expensive ways, or other potential liabilities. Unfavorable publicity regarding our privacy practices could injure our reputation, harm our ability to keep existing customers or attract new customers or otherwise adversely affect our business, assets, revenue, brands, and reputation.

Changes in laws, regulations or government enforcement of policies concerning the environment, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or new technology or information related to individual contaminated sites owned or operated by Resideo, the establishment of stricter state or federal toxicity standards with respect to certain contaminants, or the imposition of new clean-up requirements or remedial techniques, could require us to incur additional currently unanticipated costs in the future that would have a negative effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

We are currently subject to laws and regulations regarding labor, employment and benefits matters, including consultation requirements, and may be subject in the future to government investigations and/or claims, allegations and/or work stoppages in these areas that may have a negative effect on our business operations and/or financial results.

We cannot predict with certainty the outcome of litigation matters, government proceedings, and other contingencies and uncertainties.

In the ordinary course of business, we may make certain commitments, including representations, warranties and indemnities relating to current and past operations, and issue guarantees of third-party obligations. We are also subject to various lawsuits, investigations and disputes arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to public disclosure and reporting, commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability, prior acquisitions and divestitures, labor and employment matters, employee benefit plans, intellectual property, and environmental, health and safety matters.

We have incurred, and may continue to incur, significant costs in connection with some or all of these matters, including in connection with the class action and related derivative lawsuits described in Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, we are currently subject to investigations and inquiries by governmental agencies (including the SEC) relating to these matters, which may result in fines or penalties which may not be covered by insurance. We may face future governmental inquiries and investigations on these and other issues.

On July 30, 2021, the Company executed a term sheet with plaintiffs’ representatives setting forth an agreement in principle to settle the claims alleged in the class action. The total amount to be paid in settlement of the claims as set forth in the agreement in principle is $55 million. Insurance recoveries of approximately $39 million are expected to be made related to the settlement. The settlement is subject to, among other things, court review and approval and other customary conditions. The claim settlement payment and related insurance recoveries have been paid to an escrow account pending final court approval of the Securities Litigation. A motion to approve the settlement was taken under advisement by the court on January 27, 2022 and remains under review by the court.

18

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Our potential liabilities are subject to change over time due to new developments, and we may become subject to or be required to pay damage awards or settlements that could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. If we were required to make payments in addition to the settlement payments noted above, such payments could be significant and could exceed the amounts we have accrued with respect thereto, adversely affecting our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. While we maintain or may otherwise have access to insurance for certain risks, certain risks may be excluded and the amount of our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover the total amount of all insured claims, legal fees, costs and liabilities and we may have to satisfy high insurance retentions. The incurrence of significant liabilities for which there is no or insufficient insurance coverage (or where there is available insurance but high retention levels) could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

As described in Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we are subject to potentially material liabilities related to the investigation and cleanup of environmental hazards and to claims of personal injuries or property damages that may arise from hazardous substance releases and exposures. These liabilities arise out of our current and past operations and the operations and properties of predecessor companies (including off-site waste disposal). We are also subject to potentially material liabilities related to compliance of Resideo owned sites with the requirements of various federal, state, local, and foreign governments that regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and the generation, handling, storage, treatment, and disposal of and exposure to hazardous substances. If we are found to be in violation of these laws and regulations, we may be subject to substantial fines, criminal sanctions, trade restrictions, product recalls, public exposure and be required to install costly equipment or make operational changes to achieve compliance with such laws and regulations.

Risks related to the Spin-Off and our relationships with Honeywell

The Spin-Off was generally intended to be a tax-free transaction for our shareholders, but any failure to comply with the relevant tax requirements could result in certain of our shareholders incurring substantial tax liabilities. In addition, we may have material payment obligations to Honeywell under the Tax Matters Agreement, including upon the resolution of pending or future disputes with Honeywell regarding the appropriate allocation of tax liabilities incurred in connection with the Spin-Off.

Completion of the Spin-Off was conditioned on Honeywell’s receipt of separate written opinions from Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton and KPMG to the effect that the Spin-Off should qualify for non-recognition of gain and loss under Section 355 and related provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The opinions assume that the Spin-Off was completed according to the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.

If the distribution made in connection with the Spin-Off were determined not to qualify for non-recognition of gain or loss under Section 355 and related provisions of the Code, then a U.S. Holder who received our common stock in the Spin-Off generally would be treated as receiving a distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of our common stock received. In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into the Tax Matters Agreement with Honeywell described in Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We presently have, and in the future may have, disputes with Honeywell regarding the allocation of tax related liabilities between us and Honeywell under the Tax Matters Agreement. While we maintain reserves for potential liabilities arising under the Tax Matters Agreement, to the extent we are obligated to indemnify Honeywell for tax related liabilities in respect of matters that are not reserved or in excess of reserved amounts, including upon resolution of any dispute with Honeywell, such payments could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and cash flows.

19

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

We have certain business conflicts of interest with Honeywell with respect to our past and ongoing relationships. In addition, the agreements that we entered into with Honeywell in connection with the Spin-Off impose significant restrictions on us and our subsidiaries and limit our ability to engage in actions that may be in our long-term best interests, and we may from time to time have disputes with Honeywell under such agreements that could have a material impact on our business and operations.

Conflicts of interest may or have arisen with Honeywell in a number of areas relating to our past and ongoing relationships, including:

•labor, tax, employee benefit, indemnification and other matters arising from our separation from Honeywell;

•intellectual property matters;

•employee recruiting and retention;

•interpretations of contractual arrangements; and

•business combinations involving our Company.

We may not be able to resolve any potential conflicts, and, even if we do so, the resolution may be less favorable to us than if we were dealing with a party other than our former parent company.

The agreements that we entered into with Honeywell in connection with the Spin-Off may impose significant restrictions on us and our subsidiaries and limit our ability to engage in actions that may be in our long-term best interests. As described in more detail in Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Reimbursement Agreement imposes material restrictions on our business and operations, including limitations or impediments on our ability to separate or otherwise divest businesses and modify or waive the terms of certain agreements in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of Honeywell under the Reimbursement Agreement. In addition, the Trademark Agreement is terminable by Honeywell under certain circumstances, including if we fail to comply with all material obligations, including the payment obligations, set forth in the Reimbursement Agreement. The Trademark Agreement also automatically terminates upon the occurrence of a change of control of Resideo that is not approved by Honeywell, and automatically terminates as to any subsidiary of Resideo upon it ceasing to be a wholly owned subsidiary of Resideo. Any termination of the Trademark Agreement could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, and reputation. In addition, the provisions of the Trademark Agreement in respect of a change of control of Resideo or the sale of any interests in any subsidiary of Resideo may impact our ability to enter into transactions that are otherwise in the best interests of our stockholders.

We and Honeywell also have had and may in the future have disputes under the agreements and related exhibits entered into in connection with the Spin-Off. In addition, because of their former positions with Honeywell, certain of our executive officers and directors, including the chairman of the Board, own equity interests in Honeywell. Continuing ownership of Honeywell shares and equity awards could appear to create potential conflicts of interest if our Company and Honeywell face decisions that could have implications for both our Company and Honeywell.

The terms of our debt documents may impose restrictions on our business and our operations require substantial capital and we may not be able to obtain additional capital that we need in the future on favorable terms or at all.

The terms of our varied indebtedness include a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and limit our ability to engage in actions that may be in our long-term best interests, including actions such as incurring additional indebtedness, paying dividends, making investments or acquisitions, selling or transferring certain assets and other corporate actions. If market changes, economic downturns, or other negative events occur, our ability to comply with these covenants may be impaired and waivers from our lenders may not be provided. A breach of any of these covenants could result in an event of default under the terms of our indebtedness giving lenders the right to accelerate the repayment of such debt, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Additionally, we might not have, or be able to obtain, sufficient funds to make these accelerated payments, and lenders could then proceed against any collateral. Any subsequent replacement of the agreements governing such indebtedness, or any new indebtedness could have similar or greater restrictions. As a result of these restrictions, we may be limited in how we conduct our business and pursue our strategy, unable to raise additional debt financing to operate during general economic or business downturns or unable to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities.

20

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Notwithstanding that we completed a follow-on equity offering and a refinance of our debt obligations, we may require additional capital in the future to finance our growth and development, upgrade and improve our manufacturing capabilities, implement further marketing and sales activities, fund ongoing research and development activities, satisfy regulatory and environmental compliance obligations and national approvals requirements, satisfy obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement, fund acquisitions and meet general working capital needs. If our access to capital were to become constrained significantly, or if costs of capital increased significantly, due to lowered credit ratings, increased interest rates, prevailing business conditions, financial leverage, the volatility of the capital markets, decreased investor interest or other factors, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected and our ability to fund future development and acquisition activities could be impacted.

We believe that we have adequate capital resources to meet our projected operating needs, capital expenditures and other cash requirements, including payments to Honeywell under the Reimbursement Agreement. However, we may need additional capital resources in the future and if we are unable to obtain sufficient resources for our operating needs, capital expenditures and other cash requirements for any reason, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock and the Securities Market

Our stock price has been volatile; stockholder’s percentage ownership in our Company may be diluted in the future.

Our stock price may be volatile. The market price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and may be volatile in the future. The market price of our common stock may be significantly affected by the following factors: actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in line with such estimates; announcements by us or our competitors of significant technical innovations, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; the loss of, or decrease in sales to, one or more key customers; and departures of key personnel.

A stockholder’s percentage ownership in our Company may be diluted in the future because of common stock-based equity awards that we have granted and expect to grant in the future in accordance with our 2018 Stock Incentive Plan for the benefit of certain employees and other service providers, as well as our equity plan for our non-employee directors. In addition, we may issue additional equity as necessary to finance our ongoing operations and future acquisitions.

In addition, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (our “Certificate”) authorizes us to issue, without the approval of our stockholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock, which may have preferences over our common stock with respect to dividends and distributions, as our Board may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of our common stock. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences that we could assign to holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of our common stock. In addition, we may pursue acquisition opportunities for which the consideration thereof may consist partially or entirely of newly issued shares of our common stock and such transactions would dilute the voting power and/or reduce the value of our common stock.

Certain provisions in our governing documents may discourage takeovers.

Several provisions of our Charter Documents and Delaware law may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition. These include, among others, our staggered board that remains in effect until our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders; our stockholders are not permitted to act by written consent; we have established advance notice requirements for stockholder nominations and proposals; we limit the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders and we have limitations on our ability to enter into business combinations transactions.

These and other provisions of our Charter Documents and Delaware law may discourage, delay or prevent certain types of transactions involving an actual or a threatened acquisition or change in control of our Company, including unsolicited takeover attempts, even though the transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their shares of our common stock at a price above the prevailing market price.

General Risk Factors

21

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

We depend on the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel, and our failure to attract and retain such personnel could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Due to the complex nature of our business, our future performance is highly dependent upon the continued services of our employees and management who have significant industry expertise, including our engineering and design personnel and trained sales force. Our performance is also dependent on the development of additional personnel and the hiring of new qualified engineering, design, manufacturing, marketing, sales and management personnel for our operations. Competition for qualified personnel in our markets is intense, many locations in which we operate have seen increases in employee resignations, competition for talent, and increases in wages, and we may not be successful in attracting or retaining qualified personnel. The loss of key employees, our inability to attract new qualified employees or adequately train employees, or the delay in hiring key personnel could negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our effective tax rate will be affected by factors including changes in tax rules, and in the interpretation and application of those rules, in the countries in which we operate.

Our future results of operations could be adversely affected by changes in the effective tax rate as a result of a change in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in tax laws, regulations and judicial rulings (or changes in the interpretation thereof), changes in generally accepted accounting principles, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in the amount of earnings permanently reinvested offshore, the results of audits and examinations of previously filed tax returns and continuing assessments of our tax exposures, and various other governmental enforcement initiatives. Our tax expense includes estimates of tax reserves and reflects other estimates and assumptions, including assessments of our future earnings which could impact the valuation of our deferred tax assets. Changes in tax laws or regulations, including multi-jurisdictional changes enacted in response to the guidelines provided by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development to address base erosion and profit shifting will increase tax uncertainty and may adversely impact our provision for income taxes.

If we fail to maintain proper and effective internal controls, our ability to produce accurate and timely financial statements could be impaired and investors’ views of us could be harmed.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures. If we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identify deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses, the market price of shares of common stock could decline and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would require additional financial and management resources.

Even if we were to conclude, and our auditors were to concur, that our internal controls over financial reporting provided reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting might not prevent or detect fraud or misstatements. This, in turn, could have an adverse impact on trading prices for our shares of common stock, and could adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets.

22

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

If our goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets become impaired, we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings.

We test, at least annually, the carrying value of goodwill for impairment, as discussed in Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report. We review other intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The estimates and assumptions about future results of operations and cash flows made in connection with the impairment testing could differ from future actual results of operations and cash flows. If the assumptions used in our analysis are not realized or if there was an adverse change in facts and circumstances, it is possible that an impairment charge may need to be recorded in the future. If the fair value of the Company’s reporting units falls below its carrying amount because of reduced operating performance, market declines, changes in the discount rate, or other conditions, charges for impairment may be necessary. Any such charges may have a material negative impact on our results of operations. There were no impairment charges taken during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

We may be required to make significant cash contributions to our defined benefit pension plans.

We sponsor defined benefit pension plans under which certain eligible Company employees will earn pension benefits. We have plans in several countries including the U.S., the terms of which require that such qualified defined benefit pension plans maintain certain capitalization levels. Changes in discount rates and actual asset returns different than our anticipated asset returns can result in significant non-cash actuarial gains or losses. With regard to cash pension contributions, funding requirements for our pension plans are largely dependent upon interest rates, actual investment returns on pension assets and the impact of legislative or regulatory changes related to pension funding obligations. Our pension plan contributions may be material and could adversely impact our financial condition, cash flow, and results of operations. We may need to make pension plan contributions in future periods sufficient to satisfy funding requirements.

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various lawsuits, investigations and disputes arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability, prior acquisitions and divestitures, employee matters, intellectual property, and environmental, health and safety matters. We recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. We continually assess the likelihood of adverse judgments of outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of possible losses (taking into consideration any insurance recoveries), based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. We do not currently believe that such matters are material to our results of operations.

PART II.

Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “REZI”. On February 14, 2022, there were 36,479 holders of record of our common stock and the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $24.37 per share. As of February 14, 2022, 145,018,673 shares of our Common Stock and 0 shares of our preferred stock were outstanding.

As described in Item 1. Business of this Form 10-K, on October 29, 2018, Honeywell completed the separation of Resideo Technologies, Inc. as a result of a pro rata distribution of our common stock to shareholders of Honeywell (the “Spin-Off”). Following the Spin-Off, our authorized capital stock consisted of 700,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

Dividends

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock and we currently do not intend to pay cash dividends. We currently expect to retain any future earnings to fund the operation and expansion of our business and pay back debt obligations. The Board’s decision regarding any future payment of dividends will depend on the consideration of many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, sufficiency of distributable reserves, opportunities to retain future earnings for use in the operation of our business and to fund future growth, capital requirements, debt service obligations, obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, and other factors that the Board deems relevant. Additionally, the terms of the indebtedness we incurred in connection with the Spin-Off, obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement and other amounts owed to Honeywell under the Tax Matters, Trademark License and Patent Cross-License Agreements, will limit our ability to pay cash dividends.

Stock Performance

The following graph shows a comparison through December 31, 2021 of the cumulative total returns for (i) our common stock, (ii) the S&P MidCap 400 Total Return Index and (iii) the S&P 400 Industrials assuming an initial investment of $100 on the Spin-Off date and reinvestment of all dividends. The returns in the graph are not intended to forecast or be indicative of possible future performance of our common stock.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(In millions, except per share amounts)

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to help you understand the results of operations and financial condition of Resideo Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Resideo” or “the Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) for the three years ended December 31, 2021 and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Overview and Business Trends

We are a leading global manufacturer and distributor of technology driven products and solutions that help homeowners and businesses stay connected and in control of their comfort, security and energy use. We are a leader in the home heating, ventilation and air conditioning controls and security markets. We have a global footprint serving commercial and residential end-markets. We manage our business operations through two operating segments, Products & Solutions and ADI Global Distribution. Our Products & Solutions segment offerings include temperature and humidity control, thermal and combustion solutions, water and air solutions, as well as security panels, sensors, peripherals, wire and cable, communications devices, video cameras, awareness solutions, cloud infrastructure, installation and maintenance tools and related software. Our ADI Global Distribution business is the leading wholesale distributor of low-voltage security products including intrusion, access control and video products and participates significantly in the broader related markets of smart home, fire, power, audio, ProAV, networking, communications, wire and cable, and data communications. The Products & Solutions segment, consistent with our industry, has a higher gross and operating profit margin profile in comparison to the ADI Global Distribution segment.

Our financial performance is influenced by several macro factors such as repair and remodeling activity, residential and non-residential construction, employment rates, and overall macro environment. The global outbreak of a novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) in 2020 created economic disruption, and we experienced constrained supply and slowed customer demand, as well as temporary closures of several of our ADI Global Distribution branches, that adversely impacted business, results of operations, and overall financial performance. Although there remains uncertainty as to the continuing implications of COVID-19, customer demand improved throughout 2021 and ongoing cost actions and transformation efforts contributed to the Company’s operations and overall financial performance. However, we are experiencing global shortages in key materials and components in certain instances impacting our ability to supply certain products as well as labor shortages, materials price inflation, and increased freight costs.

During 2021, the Products & Solutions segment revenue increased 16% compared to 2020, driven by strong growth across all business segments as well as sales price increases. Operating profit increased 33% compared to 2020 and was positively impacted by higher revenue, a decrease in restructuring related expenses, favorable changes in sales mix, lower charges related to obsolete and surplus inventory, transformation program cost savings, and other cost reduction efforts totaling $324 million. These impacts were partially offset by increased material costs, increased freight costs, increased labor incentives expense, investments to support research and development, as well as labor inflation totaling $190 million.

Our ADI Global Distribution business revenue increased 15% compared to 2020. Throughout 2021, the business continued its strong performance, achieving solid growth in the U.S. and Canada, including the impact from the 2020 Herman ProAV acquisition and 2021 acquisitions of Norfolk Wire & Electronics and Shoreview Distribution; as well as in EMEA, and through the expansion of key product lines. ADI Global Distribution accelerated the adoption of digital tools, which is reflected in strong e-commerce growth. Operating profit grew 38% compared to 2020, driven by sales volume, favorable sales mix, pricing, and productivity totaling $108 million, partially offset by commercial investments, and other cost inflation of $34 million.

Current Period Highlights

Net revenue increased $775 million, or 15% in 2021 compared to 2020, primarily due to volume and sales price increases. Gross profit increased 19% compared to 2020. Gross profit as a percent of net revenue increased to 27% in 2021 compared to 26% in 2020. The primary items driving the increase in gross profit percentage were an approximately 200 basis point (“bps”) benefit from sales price increases and sales mix and an approximately 100 bps

26

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

benefit resulting from higher revenue volume. These benefits were partially offset by an approximately 100 bps impact from increased freight costs and an approximately 100 bps impact from increased material costs.

Research and development expense for 2021 was $86 million, an increase of $9 million, or 12% from $77 million for 2020. The increase was driven by investments to support new product launches, labor inflation and other items totaling $17 million. These increases were partially offset by transformation program cost savings, lower restructuring related expenses, and other cost reductions totaling $8 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $916 million, a decrease of $9 million or 1% from $925 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was driven by lower Spin-Off and restructuring related expenses, transformation program cost savings, and other cost reductions totaling $140 million. These decreases were partially offset by commercial investments, the pending securities class action litigation settlement net of insurance recoveries, increased labor incentives expense, foreign currency translation, impairment charges resulting from the relocation of our Austin, Texas corporate headquarters location to a lower cost site, increased stock-based compensation expense, and labor inflation and other items totaling $131 million.

Net income for 2021 was $242 million compared to $37 million for 2020, an increase of 554% year over year.

We ended 2021 with $779 million in cash and cash equivalents. Net cash provided by operating activities was $315 million for the year. At December 31, 2021, accounts receivable were $876 million, inventories were $740 million, accounts payable were $883 million, and there were no borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Recent Developments

Amended and Restated Credit Facilities and Senior Notes

On February 12, 2021, we entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the “A&R Credit Agreement”). The A&R Credit Agreement provides for (i) a seven-year senior secured term B loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $950 million (the “A&R Term B Facility”) and (ii) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (the “A&R Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facilities, the “A&R Senior Credit Facilities”).

On February 16, 2021, we redeemed $140 million in principal amount of the Senior Notes at a redemption price of 106.125% of par plus accrued interest.

On August 26, 2021, we redeemed the remaining $260 million in principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2026 at a redemption price of 105.594% of par plus accrued interest and we issued $300 million in principal amount 4% senior unsecured notes due in 2029.

As a result of the Senior Notes redemption and the execution of the A&R Credit Agreement, debt extinguishment costs of $41 million were incurred in the year ended December 31, 2021 and recorded in Other expense, net.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared COVID-19 a pandemic in March 2020. The broader implications of COVID-19 on our results of operations and overall financial performance remain uncertain, as viruses constantly change through mutation, with new variants of the COVID virus occurring and expected to continue over time. As new information emerges it may have an impact on potential restrictions globally in areas including travel, freight, shipping and commercial operations. As there remains uncertainty around the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we address and evaluate the impacts frequently. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K for further discussion of the possible impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

27

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

U.S. and international government responses to the COVID-19 outbreak have included “shelter in place,” “stay at home” and similar types of orders. In the United States, Canada and certain other countries globally, these orders exempted certain products and services needed to maintain continuity of operations of critical infrastructure sectors as determined by the federal government. If additional lockdown orders are put in place or if any of the applicable exemptions are curtailed or revoked in the future, that could adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition. Furthermore, to the extent these exemptions do not extend to our key suppliers and customers, this could also adversely impact our business, operating results, and financial condition. Finally, we are incurring increased costs associated with other employee safety measures.

Our visibility toward future performance is more limited than is typical due to the uncertainty surrounding the duration and ultimate impact of COVID-19 and its variants, and the mitigation measures that are implemented by governmental authorities. We also expect business conditions to remain challenging, with global shortages in key materials and components, in certain instances impacting our ability to supply certain products, as well as labor shortages, materials price inflation, and increased freight costs. In response to these challenges, we will continue to focus on those factors that we can control: closely managing and controlling our expenses; aligning our production schedules with demand in a proactive manner as there are changes in market conditions to minimize our cash operating costs; and pursuing further improvements in the productivity and effectiveness of our manufacturing, selling and administrative activities.

Basis of Presentation

Our financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis (collectively, the “Consolidated Financial Statements”). The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Reclassification

The prior year Consolidated Statements of Operations were reclassified to present Research and development expenses as a separate line item within the statements. Research and development expenses were formerly included within Selling, general and administrative expenses.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements to conform to the classification adopted in the current period.

Components of Operating Results

Net Revenue

We manage our global business operations through two operating segments, Products & Solutions and ADI Global Distribution:

Products & Solutions: We generate the majority of our Products & Solutions net revenue primarily from residential end-markets. Our Products & Solutions segment includes traditional products, as well as connected products, which we define as any device with the capability to be monitored or controlled from a remote location by an end-user or service provider. Our products are sold through a network of HVAC, plumbing, security, and electrical distributors including our ADI Global Distribution business, OEMs, and service providers such as HVAC contractors, security dealers and plumbers. We also sell some products via retail and online channels.

ADI Global Distribution: We generate revenue through the distribution of low-voltage electronic and security products, as well as smart home, fire, power, audio and ProAV, networking, communications, wire and cable, and data communications that are delivered through a comprehensive network of professional contractors, distributors and OEMs, as well as major retailers and online merchants. In addition to our own security products, ADI Global Distribution distributes products from industry-leading manufacturers and carries a line of private label products. We sell these products to contractors that service non-residential and residential end-users. 14% of ADI Global Distribution’s net revenue is supplied by our Products & Solutions Segment. Management estimates that in 2021 approximately two-thirds of ADI Global Distribution’s net revenue was attributed to non-residential end markets and one-third to residential end markets.

28

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Cost of Goods Sold

Products & Solutions: Cost of goods sold includes costs associated with raw materials, assembly, shipping and handling of those products, costs of personnel-related expenses, equipment associated with manufacturing support, logistics and quality assurance, non-research and development engineering costs, and costs of certain intangible assets.

ADI Global Distribution: Cost of goods sold consists primarily of inventory-related costs and includes labor and personnel-related expenses.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expense includes expenses related to development of new products as well as enhancements and improvements to existing products that substantially change the product. These expenses are primarily related to employee compensation and consulting fees.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expense includes trademark royalty expenses, sales incentives and commissions, professional fees, legal fees, promotional and advertising expenses, personnel-related expenses, including stock compensation expense and pension benefits.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net consists primarily of Reimbursement Agreement expenses. For further information see Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the Reimbursement Agreement. Other expense, net also includes debt extinguishment costs incurred as a result of the redemption of our Senior Notes due 2026 and the execution of the A&R Credit Agreement as well as foreign exchange gains and losses and other non-operating related expenses or income.

Interest Expense

Interest expense consists of interest on our short and long-term obligations, including our senior notes, term credit facilities, and revolving credit facilities, and any realized gains or losses from our interest rate swaps. Interest expense on our obligations includes contractual interest, amortization of the debt discount and amortization of deferred financing costs.

Tax Expense

Provision for income taxes includes both domestic and foreign income taxes at the applicable statutory tax rates adjusted for U.S. taxation of foreign earnings, non-deductible expenses and other permanent differences.

The following discussions of year-over-year changes represent 2021 compared to 2020.

Net Revenue

	Years Ended December 31,
	2021			2020
Net revenue	$	5,846		$	5,071
% change compared with prior period		15	%		2	%

Net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $5,846 million, an increase of $775 million, or 15% from the year ended December 31, 2020, which was negatively impacted by the emergence of COVID-19. The increase is mainly due to volume and sales price increases.

A discussion of net revenue by segment can be found in the Review of Business Segments section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Cost of Goods Sold

	Years Ended December 31,
	2021			2020
Cost of goods sold	$	4,285		$	3,758
% change compared with prior period		14	%		1	%
Gross profit percentage		27	%		26	%

30

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $4,285 million, an increase of $527 million, or 14%, from $3,758 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This increase in cost of goods sold was driven by higher revenue volumes, increased material costs, increased freight costs, foreign currency translation, and labor inflation totaling $650 million. These increased costs were partially offset by favorable changes in sales mix, lower charges related to obsolete and surplus inventory, decreased restructuring related costs, transformation programs cost savings, and other cost savings totaling $123 million.

Gross profit percentage was 27% for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to 26% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The primary items driving the increase in gross profit percentage were an approximately 200 bps benefit from sales price increases and sales mix and an approximately 100 bps benefit resulting from higher revenue volume. These benefits were partially offset by an approximately 100 bps unfavorable impact from increased freight costs and an approximately 100 bps unfavorable impact from increased material costs.

Research and Development Expense

	Years Ended December 31,
	2021			2020
Research and development expenses	$	86		$	77
% of revenue		1	%		2	%

Research and development expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $86 million, an increase of $9 million, or 12%, from $77 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was driven by investments to support new product launches, labor inflation and other items totaling $17 million. These increases were partially offset by transformation program cost savings, lower restructuring related expenses, and other costs reductions totaling $8 million.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

	Years Ended December 31,
	2021			2020
Selling, general and administrative expense	$	916		$	925
% of revenue		16	%		18	%

Selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $916 million, a decrease of $9 million, or 1%, from $925 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was driven by lower Spin-Off and restructuring related expenses, transformation program cost savings, and other cost reductions totaling $140 million. These decreases were partially offset by commercial investments, the pending securities class action litigation settlement net of insurance recoveries, increased labor incentives expense, foreign currency translation, impairment charges resulting from the relocation of our Austin, Texas corporate headquarters location to a lower cost site, increased stock-based compensation expense, and labor inflation and other items totaling $131 million.

Other Expense, Net

	Years Ended December 31,
	2021		2020
Other expense, net	$	158	$	147

31

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Other expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $158 million, an increase of $11 million, or 7%, from $147 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Other expense, net increased $41 million from debt extinguishment costs incurred as a result of the redemption of our Senior Notes due 2026 and the execution of the A&R Credit Agreement and $2 million in other non-operating expense, partially offset by an $11 million decrease in non-operating pension related expense, a $9 million reduction in the accruals related to the Tax Matters Agreement, an $8 million gain in sales of businesses, and $4 million of favorable foreign exchange impact.

Tax Expense

	Years Ended December 31,
	2021			2020
Tax expense	$	111		$	64
Effective tax rate		31	%		64	%

Our effective income tax rate is impacted by the mix of earnings across jurisdictions in which we operate, by U.S. taxation of foreign earnings, and by non-deductible expenses. Indemnification costs paid under the Reimbursement Agreement are generally non-deductible expenses for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Income tax expense of $111 million in 2021 includes $1 million of discrete tax expense. Excluding discrete tax expense of $1 million, the overall effective tax rate was 30%.

Income tax expense increased in fiscal 2021 primarily due to an increase in pre-tax earnings. The decrease in the overall effective tax rate for 2021 is primarily driven by the effect higher earnings, compared with the prior year, have on the tax rate impact of non-deductible indemnification costs.

Review of Business Segments

Products & Solutions

	2021			2020			% Change
Total revenue	$	2,841		$	2,488
Less: Intersegment revenue		373			367
External revenue		2,468			2,121			16	%
Operating profit	$	541		$	407			33	%
Operating profit percentage		22	%		19	%

Products & Solutions revenue increased 16% mainly due to increased volume driven by strong growth across all business lines as well as sales price increases. Operating profit increased from $407 million to $541 million or 33%. Operating profit increased 33% and was positively impacted by higher revenue, a decrease in restructuring related expenses, favorable changes in sales mix, lower charges related to obsolete and surplus inventory, transformation program cost savings, and other cost reduction efforts totaling $324 million. These impacts were partially offset by increased material costs, increased freight costs, increased labor incentives expense, investments to support research and development, as well as labor inflation totaling $190 million.

ADI Global Distribution

	2021			2020			% Change
External revenue	$	3,378		$	2,950			15	%
Operating profit	$	268		$	194			38	%
Operating profit percentage		8	%		7	%

ADI Global Distribution revenue increased 15%, highlighted by strong growth in the U.S. and Canada, as well as EMEA. Operating profit increased 38% and was favorably impacted by favorable changes in sales mix, higher revenue, and other expense productivity totaling $108 million. These positive impacts were partially offset by commercial investments, increased freight costs, and increased labor incentives expense, as well as labor inflation totaling $34 million.

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Corporate

	2021		2020		% Change
Corporate costs	$	250	$	290		14	%

Corporate costs for 2021 were $250 million, a decrease of $40 million, or 14%, from $290 million in 2020.The decrease was driven by lower Spin-Off and restructuring related expenses, transformation programs cost savings, and other cost reductions totaling $95 million. These decreases were partially offset by the pending securities class action litigation settlement net of insurance recoveries, increased consulting expense, impairment charges resulting from the relocation of our Austin, Texas corporate headquarters location to a lower cost site, increased labor incentives expense, increased stock-based compensation expense, foreign currency translation, and labor inflation totaling $55 million.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Our liquidity is primarily dependent on our ability to continue to generate positive cash flows from operations, supplemented by external sources of capital as needed. Additional liquidity may also be provided through access to the financial capital markets and a committed global credit facility. The following is a summary of our liquidity position:

•As of December 31, 2021, total cash and cash equivalents were $779 million, of which 25% were held by foreign subsidiaries. At December 31, 2021, there were no borrowings and no letters of credit issued under our $500 million Revolving Credit Facility.

•Historically, we have delivered positive cash flows from operations. Operating cash flows from continuing operations were $315 million, $244 million and $23 million for the three years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Liquidity

Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the rate of sales growth, market acceptance of our products, the timing and extent of research and development projects, potential acquisitions of companies or technologies and the expansion of our sales and marketing activities. While we may elect to seek additional funding at any time, we believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and availability under our credit facilities are sufficient to meet our capital requirements through at least the next 12 months and the longer term. We may enter into acquisitions or strategic arrangements in the future which also could require us to seek additional equity or debt financing.

On February 6, 2022, we entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement to acquire First Alert, Inc. a leading provider of home safety products, for $593 million. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is anticipated to be completed in our first quarter of 2022. We intend to fund this acquisition with a combination of cash on hand, and incremental borrowings under our term loan facility. For additional information see Note 23. Subsequent Events of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Credit Agreement

On February 12, 2021, we entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A. as administrative agent (the “A&R Credit Agreement”). This agreement effectively replaced our previous senior secured credit facilities.

See Note 18. Long-Term Debt of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Senior Notes due 2029

On August 26, 2021, we issued $300 million in principal amount 4% senior unsecured notes due in 2029 (the “Senior Notes due 2029”). The Senior Notes due 2029 are senior unsecured obligations of Resideo guaranteed by Resideo’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries and rank equally with all of Resideo’s senior unsecured debt and senior to all of Resideo’s subordinated debt.

See Note 18. Long-Term Debt of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Reimbursement Agreement

In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into the Reimbursement Agreement, pursuant to which we have an obligation to make cash payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of payments for certain Honeywell environmental-liability payments, which include amounts billed, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts relating to such liabilities, and less 90% of the net proceeds received by Honeywell in connection with (i) affirmative claims relating to such liabilities, (ii) contributions by other parties relating to such liabilities and (iii) certain property sales. The amount payable by us in respect of such liabilities arising in any given year is subject to a cap of $140 million. During 2020 and 2021, we entered into amendments with Honeywell. See Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-K for a further discussion of the Reimbursement Agreement and amendments. The amount paid during the year ended December 31, 2021 was $140 million.

See Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

Cash Flow Summary for the Years Ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019

Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, as reflected in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements are summarized as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2021			2020			2019
Cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities	$	315		$	244		$	23
Investing activities		(65	)		(103	)		(112	)
Financing activities		20			253			(53	)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		(8	)		1			(1	)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	262		$	395		$	(143	)

2021 compared with 2020

Cash provided by operating activities for 2021 increased by $71 million, due to higher earnings, offset by an increase in working capital balances as accounts receivable balances were higher due to strong revenue growth, inventories were higher due to higher costs and volumes required to support higher revenues, and lower accounts payable attributable to managing vendor supply chain issues and the timing of certain vendor payments.

Cash used for investing activities for 2021 decreased by $38 million, primarily due to a 2021 decrease of $24 million cash paid for acquisitions compared to 2020, a $7 million decrease in capital expenditures, and a $7 million decrease in other investing activities.

Cash provided by financing activities for 2021 decreased by $233 million. The decrease was primarily due to $279 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common stock received in 2020, partially offset by $31 million of net proceeds resulting from the A&R Credit Agreement and redemption of the Senior Notes due 2026, $14 million of decreased debt repayments, and $1 million of other financing activities.

Contractual Obligations and Probable Liability Payments

Our material cash requirements include the following contractual obligations.

Long-term debt and interest payments

As of December 31, 2021, remaining maturities on our notes and term loan were $1,230 million, with $10 million payable within 12 months. See Note 18. Long-term Debt and Credit Agreement to Notes to Consolidated

Reimbursement Agreement Payments

In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into the Reimbursement Agreement with Honeywell. As of December 31, 2021, $597 million was deemed probable and reasonably estimable, however, it is possible we could pay $140 million per year (exclusive of any late payment fees up to 5% per annum) until the earlier of: (1) December 31, 2043; or (2) December 31 of the third consecutive year during which the annual reimbursement obligation (including in respect of deferred payment amounts) has been less than $25 million. For further discussion on the Reimbursement Agreement refer to Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Environmental Liability Payments

We make environmental liability payments for sites which we own and are directly responsible for. As of December 31, 2021, $22 million was deemed probable and reasonably estimable.

Operating Leases

We have operating lease arrangements for the majority of our manufacturing sites, offices, engineering and lab sites, stocking locations, warehouses, automobiles, and certain equipment. As of December 31, 2021, we had operating lease payment obligations of $179 million, with $39 million payable within 12 months.

Purchase obligations

We enter into purchase obligations with various vendors in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2021, we had purchase obligations of $103 million, with $34 million payable within 12 months.

Capital Expenditures

We believe our capital spending in recent years has been sufficient to maintain efficient production capacity, to implement important product and process redesigns and to expand capacity to meet increased demand. Productivity projects have freed up capacity in our manufacturing facilities and are expected to continue to do so. We expect to continue investing to expand and modernize our existing facilities and to create capacity for new product development.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in any off-balance sheet financial arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, net revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America is based on the selection and application of accounting policies that require us to make significant estimates and assumptions about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be critical to the understanding of our Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from our estimates and assumptions, and any such differences could be material to our Consolidated Financial Statements. As there remains uncertainty around the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we intend to address and evaluate the impacts frequently. See Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-K for a discussion of the accounting policies.

Revenue — Product and service revenues are recognized when we transfer control of the promised products or services to the customer, in an amount we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Each distinct performance obligation within a contract is identified, and a contract’s transaction price is then allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied.

35

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

In the sale of products, the terms of a contract or the historical business practice can give rise to variable consideration due to, but not limited to, discounts, rebates, and the right of return. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount that will be received from customers and reduces revenues recognized accordingly. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.

Reimbursement Agreement — In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into the Reimbursement Agreement further described in the Capital Resources and Liquidity section.

Through the Reimbursement Agreement, we are subject to a number of environmental claims, remediation and potential, hazardous exposure or toxic tort claims. We continually assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes related to the Reimbursement Agreement, as well as potential amounts or ranges of probable losses, and recognize a liability, if any, for these contingencies based on a thorough analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and Honeywell, and, if applicable, other experts. Such analysis includes making judgments concerning matters such as the costs associated with environmental matters, the outcome of negotiations, the number and cost of pending and future claims related to the sites covered by the Reimbursement Agreement, and the impact of evidentiary requirements. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time, we do not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of the Reimbursement Agreement liabilities to be recorded upon future completion of studies, litigations or settlements, and neither the timing nor the amount of the ultimate costs associated with environmental matters can be determined. Expenses related to the indemnification are presented within Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of management’s judgment applied in the recognition and measurement of our environmental liabilities.

Goodwill — We perform goodwill impairment testing annually on the first day of the fourth quarter of each year or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level. We have two reporting units, Products & Solutions and ADI Global Distribution. In determining if goodwill is impaired, we compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its’ carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value provided the loss recognized does not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. As of December 31, 2021, the Products & Solutions and ADI Global Distribution reporting units had estimated fair values in excess of carrying value of at least 90% and 20%, respectively, and we concluded that our goodwill was not impaired as of the 2021 annual impairment test.

For the 2021 annual impairment test, we determined the fair value of each reporting unit using a weighting of fair values derived from the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management’s estimates of operating results, taking into consideration industry and market conditions. The discount rate used is based on the weighted-average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business-specific characteristics and the uncertainty related to the business’s ability to execute on the projected cash flows. The terminal value is estimated using a constant growth method which requires an assumption about the expected long-term growth rate. The estimates are based on historical data and experience, industry projections, economic conditions, and management’s expectations. Under the market approach, we estimate the fair value based on market multiples of cash flow and earnings derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting unit and considering a reasonable control premium. The weight assigned to the multiples requires judgement in qualitatively and quantitatively evaluating the size, profitability, and the nature of the business activities of the reporting units as compared to the comparable publicly traded companies. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates.

We believe the estimates and assumptions used in the calculations are reasonable. In addition, the extent to which COVID-19 may adversely impact our business depends on future developments, which are uncertain and unpredictable, depending upon the severity and duration of the outbreak, and the effectiveness of actions taken globally to contain or mitigate its effects. Any resulting financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time

36

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

but may adversely affect our business and financial results. It is possible that into 2022, macroeconomic conditions may have unexpected impacts on our business. If there was an adverse change in facts and circumstances, then an impairment charge may be necessary in the future. Should the fair value of the Company’s reporting units fall below its carrying amount because of reduced operating performance, market declines, changes in the discount rate, or other conditions, charges for impairment may be necessary. The Company monitors its reporting units to determine if there is an indicator of potential impairment.

Income Taxes — We utilize the asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. We recognize income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which we have a presence. For each jurisdiction, we estimate the actual amount of income taxes currently payable or receivable, as well as deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Future tax benefits of net operating loss and credit carryforwards are also recognized as deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply in the years in which they are expected to be realized. We evaluate the recoverability of our deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future profitability and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize our net deferred tax assets.

At December 31, 2021, we recorded net deferred tax assets of $57 million. The assets included $49 million for the value of net operating loss and credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance of $63 million was recorded to reduce the tax assets to the net value management believed was more likely than not to be realized. In the event our operating performance deteriorates, future assessments could conclude that a larger valuation allowance will be needed to further reduce deferred tax assets.

In addition, we operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. We accrue for the estimated additional tax and interest that may result from tax authorities disputing uncertain tax positions. We believe we made adequate provisions for income taxes for all years that are subject to audit based upon the latest information available. The Company maintains a reserve for uncertain tax benefits that are currently unresolved and routinely monitors the potential impact of such situations. The liability for unrecognized tax benefits, accrued interest and penalties was $16 million as of December 31, 2021.

Pension — We have defined benefit plans covering certain employees. The benefits are accrued over the employees’ service periods. We use actuarial methods and assumptions in the valuation of defined benefit obligations and the determination of net periodic pension income or expense. Differences between actual and expected results or changes in the value of defined benefit obligations and plan assets, if any, are not recognized in earnings as they occur but rather systematically over subsequent periods when net actuarial gains or losses are in excess of 10% of the greater of the fair value of plan assets or the plan’s projected benefit obligation.

A 25 basis point increase in the discount rate would result in a decrease of approximately $3 million to the net periodic benefit cost for 2021, while a 25 basis point decrease in the discount rate would result in an increase of approximately $3 million. The resulting impact on the pension benefit obligation would be a decrease of $20 million and an increase of $22 million, respectively.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, which could affect operating results, financial position and cash flows. We manage our exposure to these market risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

As of December 31, 2021, $943 million of our total debt, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs, of $1,243 million carried variable interest rates. In March 2021, eight interest rate swap agreements were entered into with various financial institutions for a combined notional amount of $560 million (“the Swap Agreements”). The Swap Agreements effectively converted a portion of our variable interest rate obligations based on three-month LIBOR with a minimum rate of 0.50% per annum to a base fixed weighted average rate of 0.9289% over a term of three to five years. For more information on the Swap Agreements, see Note 19. Derivative Instruments of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-K. The fair market value of our fixed-rate financial instruments and Swap Agreements are sensitive to changes in interest rates. At December 31, 2021, an increase in interest rate by 100 basis points would have an approximate $4 million impact on our annual interest expense, while a decrease in interest rate is not possible due to the interest rate floor on our variable rate debt.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risks from changes in currency exchange rates. While we primarily transact with customers in the U.S. Dollar, we also transact in foreign currencies, primarily including the Euro, Canadian Dollar, British Pound, Indian Rupee, and Mexican Peso. These exposures may impact total assets, liabilities, future earnings and/or operating cash flows. Our exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from transactions arising from international trade, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, and international financing activities between subsidiaries. We rely primarily on natural offsets to address our exposures and may supplement this approach from time to time by entering into forward and option hedging contracts. As of December 31, 2021, we have no outstanding hedging arrangements.

Commodity Price Risk

While we are exposed to commodity price risk, we attempt to pass through significant changes in component and raw material costs to our customers. In limited situations, we may not be fully compensated for such changes in costs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Resideo Technologies, Inc.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Resideo Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, of the Company and our report dated February 15, 2022, 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 included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Resideo Technologies, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Resideo Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flow, and equity, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 15, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 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 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 financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the 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.

Honeywell Reimbursement Agreement—Refer to Note 17 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into the Honeywell Reimbursement Agreement (the “Reimbursement Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company has an obligation to make cash payments to Honeywell with respect to certain environmental claims associated with specified properties contaminated through historical business operations. The Company’s obligation is equal to 90% of payments for certain Honeywell environmental liability payments, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts, plus certain other recoveries relating to such liabilities, as defined by the Reimbursement Agreement. The amount payable by the Company under this agreement is subject to an annual limit of $140 million.

42

The Company records its obligation under the Reimbursement Agreement based on the underlying environmental remediation liabilities of specified Honeywell sites which are recorded when a remediation liability is determined to be probable, and the related costs can be reasonably estimated. The determination of the amount of future costs associated with environmental remediation requires judgments and estimates by management. Furthermore, information the Company uses to evaluate the estimates is obtained from Honeywell under the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement.

Given the subjectivity in estimating the remediation costs for environmental matters and judgments made by management related to those estimates, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s estimates and assumptions requires a high degree of auditor judgment.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the Company’s obligation under the Reimbursement Agreement and evaluation of the Company’s evidence supporting its estimates included the following, among others:

•We tested the effectiveness of controls related to remediation costs for environmental matters, including management’s controls over the recording of and changes to the liability for the Company’s obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement.

•We read the Reimbursement Agreement and evaluated the Company’s compliance with it to the extent it has the potential to affect the Company’s related liability.

•We performed searches of third-party sources to identify potential liabilities related to the specified sites that may not have been included in the estimates.

•We tested the completeness and accuracy of the recognition of the Company’s liability for obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement through the following procedures:

–For a selection of incremental charges to the Honeywell Environmental liability (increases), obtained supporting documentation related to the valuation of the liability from management, including, but not limited to, regulatory records of decision, feasibility studies, and third-party engineering estimates.

–For a selection of payments related to the Honeywell Environmental liability (decreases), obtained supporting documentation related to the original invoice and proof of payment.

–Made inquiries of internal and external legal counsel regarding environmental matters.

–Performed searches of public domain sources to identify new remediation sites attributable to the Company or any additional remediation activities required by federal, state, or international authorities that may not have been included in the estimates.

Note 1. Organization, Operations and Basis of Presentation

Business Description

Resideo Technologies, Inc. (“Resideo” or “the Company”), is a leading manufacturer and developer of technology-driven products that provide critical comfort, residential thermal and security solutions to homes globally. The Company is also the leading wholesale distributor of low-voltage security products including intrusion, access control and video products and participates significantly in the broader related markets of smart home, fire, power, audio, ProAV, networking, communications, wire and cable, and data communications. The Company has a global footprint serving commercial and residential end markets.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on April 24, 2018. The Company separated from Honeywell International Inc. (“Honeywell”) on October 29, 2018, becoming an independent publicly traded company as a result of a pro rata distribution of the Company’s common stock to shareholders of Honeywell (the “Spin-Off”).

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis (collectively, the “Consolidated Financial Statements”). The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated for all periods presented.

The Company reports financial information on a fiscal quarter basis using a “modified” 4-4-5 calendar (modified in that the fiscal year always begins on January 1 and ends on December 31) that requires its businesses to close their first, second and third quarter books on a Saturday in order to minimize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closing on business processes. The effects of this practice are generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only exist within a reporting year. In the event that differences in closing dates are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results, the Company will provide appropriate disclosures.

Reclassification

The prior year Consolidated Statements of Operations were reclassified to present research and development expenses as a separate line item within the statements. Research and development expenses were formerly included within Selling, general and administrative expenses. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the classification adopted in the current period.

Issuance of Common Stock through Public Offering

On November 17, 2020, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) which provided for the offer and sale by the Company of 17,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at the public offering price of $15.00 per share (the “Offering”). The Offering closed on November 20, 2020. On December 14, 2020, the Company completed the closing of the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 2,550,000 shares of common stock of the Offering price of $15.00 per share as allowed in the Underwriting Agreement. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $279 million, after deducting underwriting discounts of $13 million and offering expenses payable by the Company of $1 million.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Principles—The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following is a description of Resideo’s significant accounting policies.

Principles of Consolidation—The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Resideo Technologies, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments having an original maturity of three months or less.

Accounts Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount as a result of transactions with customers. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses as a result of customers’ inability to make required payments. The Company estimates anticipated losses from doubtful accounts based on days past due as measured from the contractual due date and historical collection history. The Company also takes into consideration changes in economic conditions that may not be reflected in historical trends, for example customers in bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization. Receivables are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when they are determined to be uncollectible. Such determination includes analysis and consideration of the particular conditions of the account, including time intervals since last collection, customer performance against agreed upon payment plans, solvency of customer and any bankruptcy proceedings.

Inventories—Inventories in the Products & Solutions business are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, including direct material costs and direct and indirect manufacturing costs, or net realizable value. Inventories in the ADI Global Distribution business are stated at average cost. Reserves are maintained for obsolete and surplus items.

Property, Plant and Equipment—Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting, the straight-line method of depreciation is used over the estimated useful lives of 10 to 50 years for buildings and improvements, 3 to 16 years for machinery and equipment and 3 to 10 years for tooling equipment.

Goodwill—The Company performs goodwill impairment testing annually, on the first day of the fourth quarter each year or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level. The Company has two reporting units, Products & Solutions and ADI Global Distribution. The Company performs its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value provided the loss recognized does not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. For the 2021 annual impairment test, the Company used a weighting of fair values derived from the income approach and market approach. Under the income approach, the Company calculates the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The income approach requires the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, assumed terminal value, and appropriate discount rates. Under the market approach, the Company utilizes the public company guideline method.

The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in the calculations are reasonable. In addition, the extent to which COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s business depends on future developments, which are uncertain and unpredictable, depending upon severity and duration of the outbreak, and the effectiveness of actions taken globally to contain or mitigate its effects. Any resulting financial impact cannot be estimated reasonably at this time but may adversely affect the Company’s business and financial results. It is possible that into 2022, macroeconomic conditions may have unexpected impacts on the Company’s business. If there were an adverse change in facts and circumstances, then an impairment charge may be necessary in the future. Should the fair value of the Company’s reporting units fall below its carrying amount because of reduced operating performance, market declines,

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In millions, unless otherwise noted)

changes in the discount rate, or other conditions, charges for impairment may be necessary. The Company monitors its reporting units to determine if there is an indicator of potential impairment.

Other Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets—Other intangible assets with determinable lives consist of customer lists, technology, patents and trademarks and software intangibles and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 3 to 15 years. They are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets are measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.

Warranties and Guarantees—Expected warranty costs for products sold are recognized based on an estimate of the amount that eventually will be required to settle such obligations. These accruals are based on factors such as past experience, length of the warranty and various other considerations. Costs of product recalls, which may include the cost of the product being replaced as well as the customer’s cost of the recall, including labor to remove and replace the recalled part, are accrued as part of the warranty accrual at the time an obligation becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. These estimates are adjusted from time to time based on facts and circumstances that impact the status of existing claims.

Leases—Effective January 1, 2019, arrangements containing leases are evaluated as an operating or finance lease at lease inception. For operating leases, the Company recognizes an operating right-of-use asset and operating lease liability at lease commencement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

Since an implicit rate of return is not readily determinable for the Company’s leases, an incremental borrowing rate is used in determining the present value of lease payments and is calculated based on information available at the lease commencement date. The incremental borrowing rate is determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow funds on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The Company references a market yield curve consistent with the Company’s credit rating which is risk-adjusted to approximate a collateralized rate in the currency of the lease. These rates are updated on a quarterly basis for measurement of new lease obligations. Most leases include renewal options; however, generally it is not reasonably certain that these options will be exercised at lease commencement. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components for its real estate and automobile leases.

Revenue Recognition—Product and service revenues are recognized when or as the Company transfers control of the promised products or services to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services.

In the sale of products, the terms of a contract or the historical business practice can give rise to variable consideration due to, but not limited to, discounts and rebates. The Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount that will be received from customers and reduces revenues recognized accordingly. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company.

Sales, use and value added taxes collected by the Company and remitted to various government authorities were not recognized as revenues and are reported on a net basis.

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers were included in Cost of goods sold.

Royalty—In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company and Honeywell entered into a 40-year Trademark License Agreement (“the Trademark Agreement”) that authorizes the Company’s use of certain licensed trademarks in the operation of Resideo’s business for the advertising, sale and distribution of certain licensed products. In exchange, the Company pays a royalty fee of 1.5% of net revenue of the licensed products to Honeywell which is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Reimbursement Agreement—In connection with the Spin-Off the Company entered into an Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement with Honeywell (the “Reimbursement Agreement”), pursuant to which it has an obligation to make cash payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of payments, which include amounts billed, with respect to certain environmental claims, remediation and, to the extent arising after the Spin-Off, hazardous exposure or toxic tort claims, in each case, including consequential damages (the “liabilities”) in respect of specified Honeywell properties contaminated through historical business operations prior to the Spin-Off (“Honeywell Sites”), including the legal and other costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts relating to such liabilities, and less 90% of the net proceeds received by Honeywell in connection with (i) affirmative claims relating to such liabilities, (ii) contributions by other parties relating to such liabilities and (iii) certain property sales. The amount payable in respect of such liabilities arising in any given year is subject to a cap of $140 million. Reimbursement Agreement expenses are presented within Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and within Accrued liabilities and Obligations payable under Indemnification Agreements in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For additional information, see Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies.

Environmental—The Company accrues costs related to environmental matters when it is probable that it has incurred a liability related to a contaminated site and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Environmental costs for the Company’s owned sites are presented within Cost of goods sold for operating sites. For additional information, see Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies.

Tax Indemnification Agreement—The Tax Matters Agreement provides that Resideo is required to indemnify Honeywell for any taxes (and reasonable expenses) resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off and related internal transactions to qualify for their intended tax treatment under U.S. federal, state and local income tax law, as well as foreign tax law, where such taxes result from (a) breaches of covenants and representations the Company makes and agrees to in connection with the Spin-Off, (b) the application of certain provisions of U.S. federal income tax law to these transactions or (c) any other action taken or omission made (other than actions expressly required or permitted by the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement or other ancillary agreements) after the consummation of the Spin-Off that gives rise to these taxes. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company had an indemnity outstanding to Honeywell for past and potential future tax payments of $128 million and $139 million, respectively. See Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies.

Research and Development—The Company conducts research and development activities, which consist primarily of the development of new products as well as enhancements and improvements to existing products that substantially change the product. Research and development costs primarily relate to employee compensation and consulting fees which are charged to expense as incurred.

Advertising Costs—The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $22 million, $25 million and $46 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Defined Contribution Plans—The Company sponsors various defined contribution plans with varying terms depending on the country of employment. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 the Company recognized compensation expense related to the defined contribution plans of $19 million, $18 million, and $18 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans—The principal awards issued under Resideo’s stock-based compensation plans, which are described in Note 5. Stock-Based Compensation Plans, are restricted stock units. The cost for such

52

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In millions, unless otherwise noted)

awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Some awards are issued with a market condition which are valued on the grant date utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model. Stock options are also issued under Resideo’s stock-based compensation plans and are valued on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model and the Monte Carlo simulation model require estimates of future stock price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and forfeitures.

For all stock-based compensation, the fair value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods (generally the vesting period of the equity award) and is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant to recognize expense for those awards that are expected to vest and are based on historical forfeiture rates.

Pension—The Company disaggregates the service cost component of net benefit costs and reports those costs in the same line item or items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other non-service components of net benefit costs are required to be presented separately from the service cost component and outside of income from operations.

The Company has recorded the service cost component of pension expense in Costs of goods sold and Selling, general and administrative expenses based on the classification of the employees it relates to. The remaining components of net benefit costs within pension expense, primarily interest costs and expected return on plan assets, are recorded in Other expense, net. The Company recognizes net actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the fair value of plan assets or the plans’ projected benefit obligation (the corridor) annually in the fourth quarter each year. This adjustment known as the mark to market adjustment is reported in Other expense, net.

Foreign Currency Translation—Assets and liabilities of operations outside the United States with a functional currency other than U.S. Dollars are translated into U.S. Dollars using year-end exchange rates. Revenue, costs and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the year. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Income Taxes—Significant judgment is required in evaluating tax positions. The Company establishes additional reserves for income taxes when, despite the belief that tax positions are fully supportable, there remain certain positions that do not meet the minimum recognition threshold. The approach for evaluating certain and uncertain tax positions is defined by the authoritative guidance which determines when a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are examined by various federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years in determining the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. The Company continually assesses the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjusts the income tax provision, the current tax liability and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a change in estimate become known.

Earnings Per Share—Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding. For additional information, see Note 10. Earnings Per Share.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and the effects of changes are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Estimates are used when accounting for stock-based compensation, pension benefits, indemnification liabilities, goodwill and intangible assets, and valuation allowances for accounts receivable, inventory, deferred tax assets, and the amounts of revenue and expenses reported during the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recent accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have an immaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation — Retirement Benefits — Defined Benefit Plans — General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which amends the current disclosure requirements regarding defined benefit pensions and other post retirement plans and allows for the removal of certain disclosures, while adding certain new disclosure requirements. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material financial statement impact.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). This ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by, among other things, eliminating certain existing exceptions related to the general approach in ASC 740 relating to franchise taxes, reducing complexity in the interim-period accounting for year-to-date loss limitations and changes in tax laws, and clarifying the accounting for transactions outside of business combinations that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The Company early adopted the provisions of this guidance on January 1, 2020. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material financial statement impact.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which is optional guidance related to reference rate reform that provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance along with its subsequent clarifications, is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and is applicable for the Company’s A&R Senior Credit Facilities and Swap Agreements, which use LIBOR as a reference rate. The A&R Senior Credit Facilities include a transition clause to a new reference rate in the event LIBOR is discontinued and Swap Agreements will be amended to match the new reference rate. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance, but do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 18. Long-term Debt and Credit Agreement for further details on the Company’s Swap Agreements and A&R Senior Credit Facilities.

obligations outlined in contracts with its customers that are satisfied at a point in time. Approximately 3% of the Company’s revenue is satisfied over time. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, contract assets and liabilities were not material.

The timing of satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment. For some contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment.

The Company has applied the practical expedient to not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which it recognizes revenue in proportion to the amount it has the right to invoice for services performed.

Note 4. Segment Financial Data

The Company monitors its business operations through two operating segments, Products & Solutions and ADI Global Distribution and reports Corporate separately from the two operating segments.

Products & Solutions—The Products & Solutions business is a leading global provider of products, software solutions and technologies that help homeowners stay connected and in control of their comfort, security and energy use.

ADI Global Distribution—The ADI Global Distribution business is the leading wholesale distributor of low-voltage security products including intrusion, access control and video products and participates significantly in the broader related markets of smart home, fire, access control, power, audio, ProAV, networking, communications, wire and cable, and data communications.

Corporate—Corporate includes expenses associated with legal, finance, information technology, human resources, strategy and communications related to the Corporate office as well as supporting the operating segments, but do not relate directly to revenue-generating activities.

Segment information is consistent with how management reviews the businesses, makes investing and resource allocation decisions and assesses operating performance.

Note 5. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

On October 29, 2018, the Board adopted, and Honeywell, as the Company’s sole shareholder, approved, the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan of Resideo Technologies, Inc. and its Affiliates and the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Resideo Technologies, Inc. as may be amended from time to time (together, the “Stock Incentive Plan”). On or about December 21, 2018, the Board adopted the Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan of Resideo Technologies, Inc. and its Affiliates. The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. The maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued under awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan is 16 million. As of December 31, 2021, 6,357,544 shares of the Company’s common stock were available to be granted under the Stock Incentive Plan.

Summary of Restricted Stock Unit Activity

Restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards entitle the holder to receive one share of common stock for each unit when the units vest. RSUs are issued to certain key employees and to non-employee directors. RSUs typically become fully vested over periods ranging from one to seven years and are payable in Resideo common stock upon vesting.

Performance stock unit (“PSU”) awards entitle the holder to receive a specified number of common stock, dependent on Company financial metrics or market conditions, for each unit when the units vest. PSUs are issued to certain key employees. PSUs typically become fully vested over a period of three years and are payable in Resideo common stock upon vesting. For the year ended December 31, 2019, PSUs were issued with the shares awarded per unit being evenly based on Net revenue and adjusted EBITDA performance. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, PSUs were issued with the shares awarded per unit being based on the difference in performance between the total stockholders’ return of the Company against that of the S&P 400 Industrials Index.

The fair values estimated from the Monte Carlo simulation for PSUs issues during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were calculated using the following assumptions:

	December 31,
	2021	2020
Expected volatility	47.43%		33.70	%
Risk-free interest rate %	0.20%		0.80	%

As of December 31, 2021, there was approximately $19 million and $11 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs and PSUs granted under the Stock Incentive Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years and 2.0 years, respectively. The fair value of RSUs that vested during the year ended December 31, 2021 is $48 million.

Summary of Stock Option Activity

Stock option awards entitle the holder to purchase shares of common stock at a specific price when the options vest. Stock options typically vest over three years from the date of grant and expire seven years from the grant date.

The fair value of stock options was calculated using the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:

	December 31,
	2021	2020	2019
Expected stock price volatility	34%	31% - 37%	30% - 32%
Expected term of options	5 years	4.5 years	4.5 years
Expected dividend yield	—	—	—
Risk-free interest rate	0.77%	0.25% - 1.41%	2.22% - 2.47%

The aggregate intrinsic value disclosed below represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2021, and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money service-based stock options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2021. This amount is subject to change based on changes to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock.

As of December 31, 2021, the total undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign affiliates was $1.9 billion, of which $6 million was not considered indefinitely reinvested. While these earnings would not be subject to incremental U.S. tax, if the Company were to actually distribute these earnings, they could be subject to additional foreign income taxes and/or withholding taxes payable in foreign jurisdictions. Thus, the Company provides for foreign income taxes payable upon future distributions of the earnings not considered indefinitely reinvested annually. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the tax charge related to earnings that are not considered indefinitely reinvested is not material. The remaining $1.9 billion of earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. Determination of the unrecognized deferred foreign income tax liability related to these undistributed earnings is not practicable due to the complexities associated with this hypothetical calculation.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $189 million. $171 million of foreign net operating losses can be carried forward indefinitely with the remainder expiring between 2022 and 2031.

As of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 there were $16 million, $10 million, and $6 million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively, that if recognized would be recorded as a component of Income tax expense. The change in unrecognized tax benefits resulted in increases of $6 million, $4 million, and $4 million to tax expense in 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The increase in unrecognized tax benefits were largely driven by tax positions taken during the respective years.

The Company does not anticipate significant changes in total unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction, all states, and various local and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s US federal returns are no longer subject to income tax examinations for taxable years before 2017. With limited exception, state, local, and foreign income tax returns for taxable years before 2016 are no longer subject to examination.

(In millions, unless otherwise noted)

Diluted Earnings Per Share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method and the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period. For the year ended December 31, 2021, average options and other rights to purchase approximately 0.2 million shares of common stock were outstanding, all of which were anti-dilutive during the year ended December 31, 2021, and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share. Additionally, an average of approximately 0.6 million shares of performance-based unit awards are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2021 as the contingency has not been satisfied at December 31, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2020, average option and other rights to purchase approximately 2.8 million shares of common stock were outstanding, all of which were anti-dilutive during the year ended December 31, 2020, and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share. Additionally, an average of approximately 0.2 million shares of performance-based unit awards are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2020 as the contingency has not been satisfied at December 31, 2020.

integrated into the ADI Global Distribution segment. The aggregate purchase price paid for these acquisitions was $11 million.

In February 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of privately held Herman ProAV, a leading provider and distributer of professional audio-visual products, procurement services and labor resources to systems integrators in the commercial audio-visual industry. The purchase price paid for this acquisition was approximately $36 million and the Company recognized goodwill and intangible assets of $4 million and $18 million, respectively. This acquisition was integrated into and builds upon ADI Global Distribution’s product portfolio and expands its presence in the pro-AV market.

These acquisitions have an immaterial financial statement impact on both an individual basis and when considered in the aggregate. Pro-forma disclosures are not provided as the acquisitions have an immaterial financial statement impact.

Note 15. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — Net

Goodwill as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 for Products & Solutions was $2,010 million and $2,037 million, respectively. The decrease primarily relates to foreign currency translation adjustments. Goodwill as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 for ADI Global Distribution was $651 million and $654 million, respectively. The carrying value of goodwill increased by $5 million due to acquisitions during the year which was offset by foreign currency translation adjustments.

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign government requirements relating to the protection of the environment. It believes that, as a general matter, its policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and personal injury and that its handling, manufacture, use and disposal of hazardous substances are in accordance with environmental and safety laws and regulations. The Company has incurred remedial response and voluntary cleanup costs for site contamination and is a party to claims associated with environmental and safety matters, including products containing hazardous substances. Additional claims and costs involving environmental matters are likely to continue to arise in the future.

Liabilities for environmental costs were $22 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, environmental expenses related to these liabilities were not material.

Obligations Payable Under Indemnification Agreements

The indemnification and reimbursement agreement (the “Reimbursement Agreement”) and the tax matters agreement (the “Tax Matters Agreement”) (collectively, the “Indemnification Agreements”) are further described below.

Reimbursement Agreement

In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into the Reimbursement Agreement pursuant to which the Company has an obligation to make cash payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of payments for certain Honeywell environmental-liability payments, which include amounts billed (“payments”), less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts relating to such liabilities, and less 90% of the net proceeds received by Honeywell in connection with (i) affirmative claims relating to such liabilities, (ii) contributions by other parties relating to such liabilities and (iii) certain property sales (the “recoveries”). The amount payable by the Company in respect of such liabilities arising in respect of any given year is subject to a cap of $140 million.

Payments in respect of the liabilities arising in a given year will be made quarterly throughout such year on the basis of an estimate of the liabilities and recoveries provided by Honeywell. Following the end of any such year, Honeywell will provide the Company with a calculation of the amount of payments and the recoveries actually received.

Payment amounts under the Reimbursement Agreement will be deferred to the extent that a specified event of default has occurred and is continuing under certain indebtedness, including under the A&R Credit Agreement, or the payment thereof causes the Company to not be compliant with certain financial covenants in certain indebtedness, including the Company’s A&R Credit Agreement on a pro forma basis, including the maximum total leverage ratio (ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA, which excludes any amounts owed to Honeywell under the Reimbursement Agreement), and the minimum interest coverage ratio.

The obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement will continue until the earlier of: (1) December 31, 2043; or (2) December 31 of the third consecutive year during which the annual reimbursement obligation (including in respect of deferred payment amounts) has been less than $25 million.

In 2021 and 2020, the Company and Honeywell entered into several amendments to the Reimbursement Agreement. These amendments included modifications of certain covenants in Exhibit G to conform to the amended covenants included in the Credit Agreement First Amendment, deferment of certain payments under the Reimbursement Agreement to later in the year, and amendment of Exhibit G to, among other things, permit sale and leaseback transaction. An aggregate amount of up to $150 million would be permitted thereunder so long as the same conditions that are applicable under the Credit Agreement are satisfied. On February 12, 2021 the covenants in Exhibit G of the Reimbursement Agreement were amended and restated in their entirety to substantially conform to the affirmative and negative covenants contained in the A&R Credit Agreement.

(1)Reduction in indemnification liabilities relates to a provision in the Reimbursement Agreement that reduces the obligation due to Honeywell for any proceeds received by Honeywell from a property sale of a site under the agreement.

(2)Reimbursement Agreement liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable, however, it is possible the Company could pay $140 million per year (exclusive of any late payment fees up to 5% per annum) until the earlier of (1) December 31, 2043; or (2) December 31 of the third consecutive year during which the annual reimbursement obligation (including in respect of deferred payment amounts) has been less than $25 million.

Reimbursement Agreement liabilities are included in the following balance sheet accounts:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2021		2020
Accrued liabilities	$	140	$	140
Obligations payable under Indemnification Agreements		457		451
	$	597	$	591

The Company does not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of indemnification liabilities to be recorded upon future completion of studies, litigation or settlements, and neither the timing nor the amount of the ultimate costs associated with such indemnification liability payments can be determined although they could be material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid.

Independent of the Company’s payments under the Reimbursement Agreement, the Company will have ongoing liability for certain environmental claims which are part of the Company’s going forward business.

Tax Matters Agreement

In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into the Tax Matters Agreement with Honeywell pursuant to which it is responsible and will indemnify Honeywell for certain taxes, including certain income taxes, sales taxes, VAT and payroll taxes, relating to the business for all periods, including periods prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off. In addition, the Tax Matters Agreement addresses the allocation of liability for taxes that are incurred as a result of restructuring activities undertaken to effectuate the Spin-Off.

The Company is required to indemnify Honeywell for any taxes resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off and related internal transactions to qualify for their intended tax treatment under U.S. federal, state and local income tax law, as well as foreign tax law, where such taxes result from action or omission of the Company not permitted by the Separation and Distribution Agreement or the Tax Matters Agreement.

As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company had an indemnity liability owed to Honeywell for future tax payments of $128 million and $139 million, respectively, which is included in Obligations payable under Indemnification Agreements.

Trademark Agreement

The Company and Honeywell entered into a 40-year Trademark License Agreement (the “Trademark Agreement”) that authorizes the Company’s use of certain licensed trademarks in the operation of Resideo’s business for the advertising, sale and distribution of certain licensed products. In exchange, the Company will pay a royalty fee of 1.5% on net revenue to Honeywell related to such licensed products which is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, royalty fees were $21 million, $26 million, and $27 million, respectively.

Other Matters

The Company is subject to lawsuits, investigations, and disputes arising out of the conduct of its business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability, prior acquisitions and divestitures, employee matters, intellectual property, and environmental, health, and safety matters. The Company recognizes a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. The Company continually assesses the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of possible losses (taking into consideration any insurance recoveries), based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. No such matters are material to the Company's unaudited financial statements.

The Company, the Company’s former CEO Michael Nefkens, the Company’s former CFO Joseph Ragan, and the Company’s former CIO Niccolo de Masi are named defendants of a class action securities suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota styled In re Resideo Technologies, Inc. Securities Litigation, 19-cv-02863 (the “Securities Litigation”). The complaint, as amended, asserts claims under Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, broadly alleging, among other things, that the defendants (or some of them) made false and misleading statements regarding, among other things, Resideo’s business, performance, the efficiency of its supply chain, operational and administrative issues resulting from the spin-off from Honeywell, certain business initiatives, and financial guidance in 2019.

On July 30, 2021, the Company executed a term sheet with plaintiffs’ representatives setting forth an agreement in principle to settle the claims alleged in the complaint, as amended. The total amount to be paid in settlement of the claims as set forth in the agreement in principle is $55 million. Insurance recoveries of approximately $39 million are expected related to the settlement. The claim settlement payment and related insurance recoveries have been paid to an escrow account pending final court approval of the Securities Litigation. On August 18, 2021, the Company and plaintiffs’ representative executed a definitive Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement reflecting the terms of the agreement in principle and other customary terms and conditions (the “Settlement”), including court approval of the Settlement. No objections to the Settlement were filed with the court. On January 27, 2022, the court held a final hearing to consider whether the Settlement is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Settlement class and took a motion for approval of the Settlement under advisement. The Company intends to vigorously pursue approval of the Settlement, but there can be no assurance that court approval will be granted.

As a result of the redemption of the Senior Notes due 2026 (defined below) and the execution of the A&R Credit Agreement (defined below), debt extinguishment costs of $41 million were incurred and recorded in Other expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the A&R Credit Agreement and Senior Notes due 2029.

Senior Notes Redemptions

On February 16, 2021 the Company redeemed $140 million in principal amount of the 6.125% senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes due 2026”) at a redemption price of 106.125% of par plus accrued interest. On August 26, 2021, the Company redeemed the remaining $260 million in principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2026 at a redemption price of 105.594% of par plus accrued interest.

Senior Notes due 2029

On August 26, 2021, the Company issued $300 million in principal amount 4% senior unsecured notes due in 2029 (the “Senior Notes due 2029”). The Senior Notes due 2029 are senior unsecured obligations of Resideo guaranteed by Resideo’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries and rank equally with all of Resideo’s senior unsecured debt and senior to all of Resideo’s subordinated debt.

RESIDEO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In millions, unless otherwise noted)

The Company may, at its option, redeem the Senior Notes due 2029 in whole (at any time) or in part (from time to time), at varying prices based on the timing of the redemption.

The Senior Notes due 2029 limit the Company and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional secured indebtedness and issue preferred stock; enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions; incur liens; and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets. These covenants are subject to a number of limitations and exceptions. Additionally, upon certain events constituting a change of control together with a ratings downgrade, the holders of the Senior Notes due 2029 have the right to require the Company to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes due 2029 at a purchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to (but not including) the date of purchase.

Credit Agreement

On February 12, 2021, the Company entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A. as administrative agent (the “A&R Credit Agreement”). This agreement effectively replaced the Company’s previous senior secured credit facilities.

The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a (i) seven-year senior secured term B loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $950 million (the “A&R Term B Facility”) and (ii) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (the “A&R Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facilities, the “A&R Senior Credit Facilities”).

The Company is obligated to make quarterly principal payments throughout the term of the A&R Term B Facility according to the amortization provisions in the A&R Credit Agreement.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the A&R Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on the unused portion of the A&R Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the A&R Credit Agreement can be prepaid at the Company’s option without premium or penalty other than a 1.00% prepayment premium that may be payable in connection with certain repricing transactions within a certain period of time after the closing date. Up to $75 million may be utilized under the A&R Revolving Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit to the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The A&R Senior Credit Facilities are subject to an interest rate and interest period which the Company will elect. If the Company chooses to make a base rate borrowing on an overnight basis, the interest rate will be based on the highest of (1) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” in the United States, (2) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate, plus 0.5% and (3) the one month adjusted LIBOR rate, plus 1.00% per annum. For the A&R Term Loan B Facility, the applicable LIBOR rate will not be less than 0.50% per annum. The applicable margin for the A&R Term B Facility is 2.25% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and 1.25% per annum (for base rate loans). The applicable margin for the A&R Revolving Credit Facility varies from 2.25% per annum to 1.75% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and 1.25% to 0.75% per annum (for base rate loans) based on the Company’s leverage ratio.

The A&R Credit Agreement contains certain financial maintenance covenants and affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type. All obligations under the A&R Senior Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and substantially all of the direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company that are organized under the laws of the United States (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The A&R Senior Credit Facilities are secured on a first priority basis by the equity interests of each direct subsidiary of the Company, as well as the tangible and intangible personal property and material real property of the Company and each of the Guarantors.

Note 19. Derivative Instruments

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage exposure to interest rate risks. The Company does not use interest rate swap agreements for speculative or trading purposes. The gain or loss on the interest rate swaps that qualify as derivatives is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently recognized as Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the hedged exposure affects earnings. If the related debt or the interest rate swap is terminated prior to maturity, the fair value of the interest rate swap recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss may be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on an assessment of the agreements at the time of termination.

In March 2021, the Company entered into eight interest rate swap agreements (the “Swap Agreements”) with several financial institutions for a combined notional value of $560 million. The effect of the Swap Agreements is to convert a portion of the Company’s variable interest rate obligations based on three-month LIBOR with a minimum rate of 0.50% per annum to a base fixed weighted average rate of 0.9289% over terms ranging from three to five years. The Swap Agreements are adjusted to fair value on a quarterly basis. Contract gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and amounts reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings were not material for any of the periods presented. Amounts expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months were not material as of December 31, 2021.

Note 20. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The FASB’s accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB’s guidance classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; and

Level 3 Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Credit and Market Risk—The Company continually monitors the creditworthiness of its customers to which it grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The terms and conditions of credit sales are designed to mitigate or eliminate concentrations of credit risk with any single customer.

Foreign Currency Risk Management—The Company conducts its business on a multinational basis in a wide variety of foreign currencies. It is exposed to market risks from changes in currency exchange rates. These exposures may impact future earnings and/or operating cash flows. The exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from transactions arising from international trade, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, and international financing activities between subsidiaries. The Company relies primarily on natural offsets to address the exposures and may supplement this approach from time to time by entering into forward and option hedging contracts. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no forward or option hedging contracts.

Senior Notes and Credit Agreement—As of December 31, 2021, the Company assessed the amount recorded under the A&R Term B Facility, the Senior Notes due 2029, and the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company determined that the Revolving Credit Facility approximated fair value. The A&R Term B Facility and the Senior Notes due 2029’s fair values are approximately $943 million and $294 million, respectively. The fair values of the debt are based on the quoted inactive prices and are therefore classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments—The fair value of the Swap Agreements at December 31, 2021 was not material. The estimated fair value is based on Level 2 inputs primarily including the forward LIBOR curve available to swap dealers. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables - net, and accounts payables contained in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value.

Note 21. Pension

The Company sponsors multiple funded and unfunded U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. Pension benefits for many of its U.S. employees are provided through non-contributory, qualified and non-qualified defined benefit plans. It also sponsors defined benefit pension plans which cover non-U.S. employees who are not U.S. citizens, in certain jurisdictions, principally Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, India, Switzerland, and the Netherlands.

The following tables summarize the balance sheet impact, including the benefit obligations, assets and funded status associated with the pension plans.

The benefit obligation generated a global net actuarial gain of $38 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. A global increase in discount rates over the course of the year was the main driver, generating a total gain of $34 million across all plans. In addition, experience gains amounted to $6 million globally, ($2 million U.S. and $4 million Non-U.S.) and demographic assumptions gains were $3 million (driven primarily by the introduction of new demographic tables in Switzerland). These gains were partially offset by losses on other financial assumptions of approximately $5 million, primarily as a result of higher pension increase assumption in Germany.

Actual return on plan assets for the year ended December 31, 2021 was higher than expected driven by return-seeking asset performance exceeding expectations leading to an additional asset gain of $9 million globally, for a total asset return of $27 million globally.

The discount rate for the U.S. pension plans reflects the current rate at which the associated liabilities could be settled at the measurement date of December 31. To determine discount rates for the U.S. pension plans, the Company uses a modeling process that involves matching the expected cash outflows of its benefit plans to a yield curve constructed from a portfolio of high-quality, fixed income debt instruments. The Company uses the single weighted-average yield of this hypothetical portfolio as a discount rate benchmark.

The expected rate of return on U.S. plan assets of 4.7% is a long-term rate based on historical plan asset returns over varying long-term periods combined with current market conditions and broad asset mix considerations. The Company reviews the expected rate of return on an annual basis and revises it as appropriate.

For non-U.S. benefit plans, actuarial assumptions reflect economic and market factors relevant to each country.

The following amounts relate to pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations exceeding the fair value of plan assets.

The Company employs an investment approach whereby a mix of equities and fixed income investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of plan liabilities and plan funded status. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of equity and fixed income investments. Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks, as well as growth, value and small and large capitalizations. Other assets such as real estate and hedge funds may be used to improve portfolio diversification.

The non-U.S. investment policies are different for each country as local regulations, funding requirements, and financial and tax considerations are part of the funding and investment allocation process in each country.

A majority of the U.S. pension plan assets as of December 31, 2021 do not have published pricing and are valued using Net Asset Value (“NAV”) which approximates fair value. NAV by asset category and fair value by asset category are as follows for December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Corporate Bonds and Government Bonds held as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are valued either by using pricing models, bids provided by brokers or dealers, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows and as such include adjustments for certain risks that may not be observable such as credit and liquidity risks. Other investments as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and Insurance Contracts are classified as Level 3 as there are neither quoted prices nor other observable inputs for pricing. Insurance Contracts are issued by insurance companies and are valued at cash surrender value, which approximates the contract fair value. Other investments consist of a collective pension foundation that is valued and allocated by the plan administrator.

The Company utilizes the services of retirement and investment consultants to actively manage the assets of the Company’s pension plans. The Company has established asset allocation targets and investment guidelines based on the guidance of the consultants. The Company’s target allocations are 54% fixed income investments, 28% global equity investments, 9% global real estate investments and 9% cash and other investments.

The Company’s general funding policy for qualified defined benefit pension plans is to contribute amounts at least sufficient to satisfy regulatory funding standards. In 2021, it was not required to make contributions to the U.S. pension plans, and no contributions were made. There is no requirement to make any contributions to the U.S. pension plans in 2022. In 2021, contributions of $3 million were made to the non-U.S. pension plans to satisfy regulatory funding requirements. In 2022, the Company expects to make contributions of cash and/or marketable securities of approximately $3 million to the non-U.S. pension plans to satisfy regulatory funding standards. Contributions for both the U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans do not reflect benefits paid directly from Company assets.

Benefit payments, including amounts to be paid from Company assets, and reflecting expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid as follows:

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud have been or will be detected.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the assistance of other members of our management, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based upon such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013).

Based on this assessment, management determined that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021.

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization, Operations and Basis of Presentation

Note 1. Organization, Operations and Basis of Presentation

Business Description

Resideo Technologies, Inc. (“Resideo” or “the Company”), is a leading manufacturer and developer of technology-driven products that provide critical comfort, residential thermal and security solutions to homes globally. The Company is also the leading wholesale distributor of low-voltage security products including intrusion, access control and video products and participates significantly in the broader related markets of smart home, fire, power, audio, ProAV, networking, communications, wire and cable, and data communications. The Company has a global footprint serving commercial and residential end markets.

The Company was incorporated in Delaware on April 24, 2018. The Company separated from Honeywell International Inc. (“Honeywell”) on October 29, 2018, becoming an independent publicly traded company as a result of a pro rata distribution of the Company’s common stock to shareholders of Honeywell (the “Spin-Off”).

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis (collectively, the “Consolidated Financial Statements”). The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated for all periods presented.

The Company reports financial information on a fiscal quarter basis using a “modified” 4-4-5 calendar (modified in that the fiscal year always begins on January 1 and ends on December 31) that requires its businesses to close their first, second and third quarter books on a Saturday in order to minimize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closing on business processes. The effects of this practice are generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only exist within a reporting year. In the event that differences in closing dates are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results, the Company will provide appropriate disclosures.

Reclassification

The prior year Consolidated Statements of Operations were reclassified to present research and development expenses as a separate line item within the statements. Research and development expenses were formerly included within Selling, general and administrative expenses. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the classification adopted in the current period.

Issuance of Common Stock through Public Offering

On November 17, 2020, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) which provided for the offer and sale by the Company of 17,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company at the public offering price of $15.00 per share (the “Offering”). The Offering closed on November 20, 2020. On December 14, 2020, the Company completed the closing of the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 2,550,000 shares of common stock of the Offering price of $15.00 per share as allowed in the Underwriting Agreement. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $279 million, after deducting underwriting discounts of $13 million and offering expenses payable by the Company of $1 million.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Principles—The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following is a description of Resideo’s significant accounting policies.

Principles of Consolidation—The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Resideo Technologies, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments having an original maturity of three months or less.

Accounts Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount as a result of transactions with customers. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses as a result of customers’ inability to make required payments. The Company estimates anticipated losses from doubtful accounts based on days past due as measured from the contractual due date and historical collection history. The Company also takes into consideration changes in economic conditions that may not be reflected in historical trends, for example customers in bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization. Receivables are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when they are determined to be uncollectible. Such determination includes analysis and consideration of the particular conditions of the account, including time intervals since last collection, customer performance against agreed upon payment plans, solvency of customer and any bankruptcy proceedings.

Inventories—Inventories in the Products & Solutions business are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, including direct material costs and direct and indirect manufacturing costs, or net realizable value. Inventories in the ADI Global Distribution business are stated at average cost. Reserves are maintained for obsolete and surplus items.

Property, Plant and Equipment—Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting, the straight-line method of depreciation is used over the estimated useful lives of 10 to 50 years for buildings and improvements, 3 to 16 years for machinery and equipment and 3 to 10 years for tooling equipment.

Goodwill—The Company performs goodwill impairment testing annually, on the first day of the fourth quarter each year or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level. The Company has two reporting units, Products & Solutions and ADI Global Distribution. The Company performs its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value provided the loss recognized does not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. For the 2021 annual impairment test, the Company used a weighting of fair values derived from the income approach and market approach. Under the income approach, the Company calculates the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The income approach requires the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, assumed terminal value, and appropriate discount rates. Under the market approach, the Company utilizes the public company guideline method.

The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in the calculations are reasonable. In addition, the extent to which COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s business depends on future developments, which are uncertain and unpredictable, depending upon severity and duration of the outbreak, and the effectiveness of actions taken globally to contain or mitigate its effects. Any resulting financial impact cannot be estimated reasonably at this time but may adversely affect the Company’s business and financial results. It is possible that into 2022, macroeconomic conditions may have unexpected impacts on the Company’s business. If there were an adverse change in facts and circumstances, then an impairment charge may be necessary in the future. Should the fair value of the Company’s reporting units fall below its carrying amount because of reduced operating performance, market declines,

changes in the discount rate, or other conditions, charges for impairment may be necessary. The Company monitors its reporting units to determine if there is an indicator of potential impairment.

Other Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets—Other intangible assets with determinable lives consist of customer lists, technology, patents and trademarks and software intangibles and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 3 to 15 years. They are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets are measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.

Warranties and Guarantees—Expected warranty costs for products sold are recognized based on an estimate of the amount that eventually will be required to settle such obligations. These accruals are based on factors such as past experience, length of the warranty and various other considerations. Costs of product recalls, which may include the cost of the product being replaced as well as the customer’s cost of the recall, including labor to remove and replace the recalled part, are accrued as part of the warranty accrual at the time an obligation becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. These estimates are adjusted from time to time based on facts and circumstances that impact the status of existing claims.

Leases—Effective January 1, 2019, arrangements containing leases are evaluated as an operating or finance lease at lease inception. For operating leases, the Company recognizes an operating right-of-use asset and operating lease liability at lease commencement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

Since an implicit rate of return is not readily determinable for the Company’s leases, an incremental borrowing rate is used in determining the present value of lease payments and is calculated based on information available at the lease commencement date. The incremental borrowing rate is determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow funds on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The Company references a market yield curve consistent with the Company’s credit rating which is risk-adjusted to approximate a collateralized rate in the currency of the lease. These rates are updated on a quarterly basis for measurement of new lease obligations. Most leases include renewal options; however, generally it is not reasonably certain that these options will be exercised at lease commencement. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components for its real estate and automobile leases.

Revenue Recognition—Product and service revenues are recognized when or as the Company transfers control of the promised products or services to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services.

In the sale of products, the terms of a contract or the historical business practice can give rise to variable consideration due to, but not limited to, discounts and rebates. The Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount that will be received from customers and reduces revenues recognized accordingly. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company.

Sales, use and value added taxes collected by the Company and remitted to various government authorities were not recognized as revenues and are reported on a net basis.

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers were included in Cost of goods sold.

Royalty—In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company and Honeywell entered into a 40-year Trademark License Agreement (“the Trademark Agreement”) that authorizes the Company’s use of certain licensed trademarks in the operation of Resideo’s business for the advertising, sale and distribution of certain licensed products. In exchange, the Company pays a royalty fee of 1.5% of net revenue of the licensed products to Honeywell which is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Reimbursement Agreement—In connection with the Spin-Off the Company entered into an Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement with Honeywell (the “Reimbursement Agreement”), pursuant to which it has an obligation to make cash payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of payments, which include amounts billed, with respect to certain environmental claims, remediation and, to the extent arising after the Spin-Off, hazardous exposure or toxic tort claims, in each case, including consequential damages (the “liabilities”) in respect of specified Honeywell properties contaminated through historical business operations prior to the Spin-Off (“Honeywell Sites”), including the legal and other costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts relating to such liabilities, and less 90% of the net proceeds received by Honeywell in connection with (i) affirmative claims relating to such liabilities, (ii) contributions by other parties relating to such liabilities and (iii) certain property sales. The amount payable in respect of such liabilities arising in any given year is subject to a cap of $140 million. Reimbursement Agreement expenses are presented within Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and within Accrued liabilities and Obligations payable under Indemnification Agreements in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For additional information, see Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies.

Environmental—The Company accrues costs related to environmental matters when it is probable that it has incurred a liability related to a contaminated site and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Environmental costs for the Company’s owned sites are presented within Cost of goods sold for operating sites. For additional information, see Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies.

Tax Indemnification Agreement—The Tax Matters Agreement provides that Resideo is required to indemnify Honeywell for any taxes (and reasonable expenses) resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off and related internal transactions to qualify for their intended tax treatment under U.S. federal, state and local income tax law, as well as foreign tax law, where such taxes result from (a) breaches of covenants and representations the Company makes and agrees to in connection with the Spin-Off, (b) the application of certain provisions of U.S. federal income tax law to these transactions or (c) any other action taken or omission made (other than actions expressly required or permitted by the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement or other ancillary agreements) after the consummation of the Spin-Off that gives rise to these taxes. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company had an indemnity outstanding to Honeywell for past and potential future tax payments of $128 million and $139 million, respectively. See Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies.

Research and Development—The Company conducts research and development activities, which consist primarily of the development of new products as well as enhancements and improvements to existing products that substantially change the product. Research and development costs primarily relate to employee compensation and consulting fees which are charged to expense as incurred.

Advertising Costs—The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $22 million, $25 million and $46 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Defined Contribution Plans—The Company sponsors various defined contribution plans with varying terms depending on the country of employment. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 the Company recognized compensation expense related to the defined contribution plans of $19 million, $18 million, and $18 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans—The principal awards issued under Resideo’s stock-based compensation plans, which are described in Note 5. Stock-Based Compensation Plans, are restricted stock units. The cost for such

awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Some awards are issued with a market condition which are valued on the grant date utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model. Stock options are also issued under Resideo’s stock-based compensation plans and are valued on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model and the Monte Carlo simulation model require estimates of future stock price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and forfeitures.

For all stock-based compensation, the fair value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods (generally the vesting period of the equity award) and is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant to recognize expense for those awards that are expected to vest and are based on historical forfeiture rates.

Pension—The Company disaggregates the service cost component of net benefit costs and reports those costs in the same line item or items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other non-service components of net benefit costs are required to be presented separately from the service cost component and outside of income from operations.

The Company has recorded the service cost component of pension expense in Costs of goods sold and Selling, general and administrative expenses based on the classification of the employees it relates to. The remaining components of net benefit costs within pension expense, primarily interest costs and expected return on plan assets, are recorded in Other expense, net. The Company recognizes net actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the fair value of plan assets or the plans’ projected benefit obligation (the corridor) annually in the fourth quarter each year. This adjustment known as the mark to market adjustment is reported in Other expense, net.

Foreign Currency Translation—Assets and liabilities of operations outside the United States with a functional currency other than U.S. Dollars are translated into U.S. Dollars using year-end exchange rates. Revenue, costs and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the year. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Income Taxes—Significant judgment is required in evaluating tax positions. The Company establishes additional reserves for income taxes when, despite the belief that tax positions are fully supportable, there remain certain positions that do not meet the minimum recognition threshold. The approach for evaluating certain and uncertain tax positions is defined by the authoritative guidance which determines when a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are examined by various federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years in determining the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. The Company continually assesses the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjusts the income tax provision, the current tax liability and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a change in estimate become known.

Earnings Per Share—Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding. For additional information, see Note 10. Earnings Per Share.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and the effects of changes are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Estimates are used when accounting for stock-based compensation, pension benefits, indemnification liabilities, goodwill and intangible assets, and valuation allowances for accounts receivable, inventory, deferred tax assets, and the amounts of revenue and expenses reported during the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recent accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have an immaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation — Retirement Benefits — Defined Benefit Plans — General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which amends the current disclosure requirements regarding defined benefit pensions and other post retirement plans and allows for the removal of certain disclosures, while adding certain new disclosure requirements. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material financial statement impact.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). This ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by, among other things, eliminating certain existing exceptions related to the general approach in ASC 740 relating to franchise taxes, reducing complexity in the interim-period accounting for year-to-date loss limitations and changes in tax laws, and clarifying the accounting for transactions outside of business combinations that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The Company early adopted the provisions of this guidance on January 1, 2020. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material financial statement impact.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which is optional guidance related to reference rate reform that provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance along with its subsequent clarifications, is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and is applicable for the Company’s A&R Senior Credit Facilities and Swap Agreements, which use LIBOR as a reference rate. The A&R Senior Credit Facilities include a transition clause to a new reference rate in the event LIBOR is discontinued and Swap Agreements will be amended to match the new reference rate. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance, but do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 18. Long-term Debt and Credit Agreement for further details on the Company’s Swap Agreements and A&R Senior Credit Facilities.

(1)EMEA represents Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

(2)APAC represents Asia and Pacific countries.

A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. For product sales, typically each product sold to a customer represents a distinct performance obligation. The Company recognizes the majority of its revenue from performance

obligations outlined in contracts with its customers that are satisfied at a point in time. Approximately 3% of the Company’s revenue is satisfied over time. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, contract assets and liabilities were not material.

The timing of satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment. For some contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment.

The Company has applied the practical expedient to not disclose the value of remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which it recognizes revenue in proportion to the amount it has the right to invoice for services performed.

Compensation Related Costs [Abstract]

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Note 5. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

On October 29, 2018, the Board adopted, and Honeywell, as the Company’s sole shareholder, approved, the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan of Resideo Technologies, Inc. and its Affiliates and the 2018 Stock Incentive Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Resideo Technologies, Inc. as may be amended from time to time (together, the “Stock Incentive Plan”). On or about December 21, 2018, the Board adopted the Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan of Resideo Technologies, Inc. and its Affiliates. The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, restricted stock, other stock-based awards and cash-based awards. The maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued under awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan is 16 million. As of December 31, 2021, 6,357,544 shares of the Company’s common stock were available to be granted under the Stock Incentive Plan.

Summary of Restricted Stock Unit Activity

Restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards entitle the holder to receive one share of common stock for each unit when the units vest. RSUs are issued to certain key employees and to non-employee directors. RSUs typically become fully vested over periods ranging from one to seven years and are payable in Resideo common stock upon vesting.

Performance stock unit (“PSU”) awards entitle the holder to receive a specified number of common stock, dependent on Company financial metrics or market conditions, for each unit when the units vest. PSUs are issued to certain key employees. PSUs typically become fully vested over a period of three years and are payable in Resideo common stock upon vesting. For the year ended December 31, 2019, PSUs were issued with the shares awarded per unit being evenly based on Net revenue and adjusted EBITDA performance. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, PSUs were issued with the shares awarded per unit being based on the difference in performance between the total stockholders’ return of the Company against that of the S&P 400 Industrials Index.

The fair values estimated from the Monte Carlo simulation for PSUs issues during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were calculated using the following assumptions:

	December 31,
	2021	2020
Expected volatility	47.43%		33.70	%
Risk-free interest rate %	0.20%		0.80	%
Expected term (in years)	2.86		2.79
Dividend yield	0%		0	%

The following table summarizes RSU and PSU and activity related to the Stock Incentive Plan during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019:

	PSUs					RSUs
	Number of Performance Stock Units			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share		Number of Restricted Stock Units			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share

Non-vested as of December 31, 2021		1,317,560		$	22.06		3,477,133		$	19.52

As of December 31, 2021, there was approximately $19 million and $11 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs and PSUs granted under the Stock Incentive Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years and 2.0 years, respectively. The fair value of RSUs that vested during the year ended December 31, 2021 is $48 million.

Summary of Stock Option Activity

Stock option awards entitle the holder to purchase shares of common stock at a specific price when the options vest. Stock options typically vest over three years from the date of grant and expire seven years from the grant date.

The fair value of stock options was calculated using the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes model:

	December 31,
	2021	2020	2019
Expected stock price volatility	34%	31% - 37%	30% - 32%
Expected term of options	5 years	4.5 years	4.5 years
Expected dividend yield	—	—	—
Risk-free interest rate	0.77%	0.25% - 1.41%	2.22% - 2.47%

The aggregate intrinsic value disclosed below represents the total intrinsic value (the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2021, and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money service-based stock options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 31, 2021. This amount is subject to change based on changes to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock.

The following table summarizes stock option activity related to the Stock Incentive Plan during the year ended December 31, 2021:

	Stock Options
	Number of Stock Options			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Contractual Life (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in millions)
Stock Options outstanding as of January 1, 2019		-		$	-		-	$	-

Restructuring Charges

Note 7. Restructuring Charges

During 2021, the Company did not have any new restructuring programs. Restructuring expense for December 31, 2021 was not material. During 2019, the Company retained industry experts in supply chain optimization and organizational excellence to assist in a comprehensive financial and operational review which was

focused on product cost and gross margin improvement, and general and administrative expense simplification. Certain restructuring actions were implemented under this program as well as previous programs. Product & Solutions segment restructuring expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $19 million, and $26 million, respectively. ADI Global Distribution segment restructuring expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $6 million, and $4 million, respectively.

The Company maintains a valuation allowance of $63 million against a portion of non-U.S. deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances principally relate to foreign net operating loss carryforwards.

As of December 31, 2021, the total undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign affiliates was $1.9 billion, of which $6 million was not considered indefinitely reinvested. While these earnings would not be subject to incremental U.S. tax, if the Company were to actually distribute these earnings, they could be subject to additional foreign income taxes and/or withholding taxes payable in foreign jurisdictions. Thus, the Company provides for foreign income taxes payable upon future distributions of the earnings not considered indefinitely reinvested annually. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the tax charge related to earnings that are not considered indefinitely reinvested is not material. The remaining $1.9 billion of earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested. Determination of the unrecognized deferred foreign income tax liability related to these undistributed earnings is not practicable due to the complexities associated with this hypothetical calculation.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $189 million. $171 million of foreign net operating losses can be carried forward indefinitely with the remainder expiring between 2022 and 2031.

As of December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 there were $16 million, $10 million, and $6 million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively, that if recognized would be recorded as a component of Income tax expense. The change in unrecognized tax benefits resulted in increases of $6 million, $4 million, and $4 million to tax expense in 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The increase in unrecognized tax benefits were largely driven by tax positions taken during the respective years.

The Company does not anticipate significant changes in total unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction, all states, and various local and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s US federal returns are no longer subject to income tax examinations for taxable years before 2017. With limited exception, state, local, and foreign income tax returns for taxable years before 2016 are no longer subject to examination.

Earnings Per Share

Note 10. Earnings Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in millions except shares in thousands and per share data):

	Years Ended December 31,
	2021		2020		2019
Net income	$	242	$	37	$	36
Shares used in computing basic earnings per share		144,036		125,348		122,722
Effect of dilutive securities:
Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents		4,412		976		516
Shares used in computing diluted earnings per share		148,448		126,324		123,238
Earnings per share:
Basic	$	1.68	$	0.30	$	0.29
Diluted	$	1.63	$	0.29	$	0.29

Diluted Earnings Per Share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year plus the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents using the treasury stock method and the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period. For the year ended December 31, 2021, average options and other rights to purchase approximately 0.2 million shares of common stock were outstanding, all of which were anti-dilutive during the year ended December 31, 2021, and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share. Additionally, an average of approximately 0.6 million shares of performance-based unit awards are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2021 as the contingency has not been satisfied at December 31, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2020, average option and other rights to purchase approximately 2.8 million shares of common stock were outstanding, all of which were anti-dilutive during the year ended December 31, 2020, and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share. Additionally, an average of approximately 0.2 million shares of performance-based unit awards are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2020 as the contingency has not been satisfied at December 31, 2020.

At December 31, 2021, the interest rate for the A&R Term B Facility (defined below) was 2.75%. At December 31, 2020, the interest rate for the Five-year variable rate term loan A due 2023 and the Seven-year variable term loan B due 2025 was 2.51%. At December 31, 2021 there were no borrowings and no letters of credit issued under the A&R Revolving Credit Facility (defined below).

As a result of the redemption of the Senior Notes due 2026 (defined below) and the execution of the A&R Credit Agreement (defined below), debt extinguishment costs of $41 million were incurred and recorded in Other expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the A&R Credit Agreement and Senior Notes due 2029.

Senior Notes Redemptions

On February 16, 2021 the Company redeemed $140 million in principal amount of the 6.125% senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes due 2026”) at a redemption price of 106.125% of par plus accrued interest. On August 26, 2021, the Company redeemed the remaining $260 million in principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2026 at a redemption price of 105.594% of par plus accrued interest.

Senior Notes due 2029

On August 26, 2021, the Company issued $300 million in principal amount 4% senior unsecured notes due in 2029 (the “Senior Notes due 2029”). The Senior Notes due 2029 are senior unsecured obligations of Resideo guaranteed by Resideo’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries and rank equally with all of Resideo’s senior unsecured debt and senior to all of Resideo’s subordinated debt.

The Company may, at its option, redeem the Senior Notes due 2029 in whole (at any time) or in part (from time to time), at varying prices based on the timing of the redemption.

The Senior Notes due 2029 limit the Company and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional secured indebtedness and issue preferred stock; enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions; incur liens; and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets. These covenants are subject to a number of limitations and exceptions. Additionally, upon certain events constituting a change of control together with a ratings downgrade, the holders of the Senior Notes due 2029 have the right to require the Company to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes due 2029 at a purchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to (but not including) the date of purchase.

Credit Agreement

On February 12, 2021, the Company entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A. as administrative agent (the “A&R Credit Agreement”). This agreement effectively replaced the Company’s previous senior secured credit facilities.

The A&R Credit Agreement provides for a (i) seven-year senior secured term B loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $950 million (the “A&R Term B Facility”) and (ii) a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million (the “A&R Revolving Credit Facility” and, together with the Term Loan Facilities, the “A&R Senior Credit Facilities”).

The Company is obligated to make quarterly principal payments throughout the term of the A&R Term B Facility according to the amortization provisions in the A&R Credit Agreement.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under the A&R Revolving Credit Facility, the Company is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee based on the unused portion of the A&R Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under the A&R Credit Agreement can be prepaid at the Company’s option without premium or penalty other than a 1.00% prepayment premium that may be payable in connection with certain repricing transactions within a certain period of time after the closing date. Up to $75 million may be utilized under the A&R Revolving Credit Facility for the issuance of letters of credit to the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The A&R Senior Credit Facilities are subject to an interest rate and interest period which the Company will elect. If the Company chooses to make a base rate borrowing on an overnight basis, the interest rate will be based on the highest of (1) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” in the United States, (2) the greater of the federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate, plus 0.5% and (3) the one month adjusted LIBOR rate, plus 1.00% per annum. For the A&R Term Loan B Facility, the applicable LIBOR rate will not be less than 0.50% per annum. The applicable margin for the A&R Term B Facility is 2.25% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and 1.25% per annum (for base rate loans). The applicable margin for the A&R Revolving Credit Facility varies from 2.25% per annum to 1.75% per annum (for LIBOR loans) and 1.25% to 0.75% per annum (for base rate loans) based on the Company’s leverage ratio.

The A&R Credit Agreement contains certain financial maintenance covenants and affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type. All obligations under the A&R Senior Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by the Company and substantially all of the direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company that are organized under the laws of the United States (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The A&R Senior Credit Facilities are secured on a first priority basis by the equity interests of each direct subsidiary of the Company, as well as the tangible and intangible personal property and material real property of the Company and each of the Guarantors.

Derivative Instruments

Note 19. Derivative Instruments

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage exposure to interest rate risks. The Company does not use interest rate swap agreements for speculative or trading purposes. The gain or loss on the interest rate swaps that qualify as derivatives is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently recognized as Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the hedged exposure affects earnings. If the related debt or the interest rate swap is terminated prior to maturity, the fair value of the interest rate swap recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss may be recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations based on an assessment of the agreements at the time of termination.

In March 2021, the Company entered into eight interest rate swap agreements (the “Swap Agreements”) with several financial institutions for a combined notional value of $560 million. The effect of the Swap Agreements is to convert a portion of the Company’s variable interest rate obligations based on three-month LIBOR with a minimum rate of 0.50% per annum to a base fixed weighted average rate of 0.9289% over terms ranging from three to five years. The Swap Agreements are adjusted to fair value on a quarterly basis. Contract gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and amounts reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings were not material for any of the periods presented. Amounts expected to be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months were not material as of December 31, 2021.

Financial Instruments And Fair Value Measures [Abstract]

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures

Note 20. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The FASB’s accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The FASB’s guidance classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 Observable inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; and

Level 3 Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the Company to develop assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Credit and Market Risk—The Company continually monitors the creditworthiness of its customers to which it grants credit terms in the normal course of business. The terms and conditions of credit sales are designed to mitigate or eliminate concentrations of credit risk with any single customer.

Foreign Currency Risk Management—The Company conducts its business on a multinational basis in a wide variety of foreign currencies. It is exposed to market risks from changes in currency exchange rates. These exposures may impact future earnings and/or operating cash flows. The exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from transactions arising from international trade, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, and international financing activities between subsidiaries. The Company relies primarily on natural offsets to address the exposures and may supplement this approach from time to time by entering into forward and option hedging contracts. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had no forward or option hedging contracts.

Senior Notes and Credit Agreement—As of December 31, 2021, the Company assessed the amount recorded under the A&R Term B Facility, the Senior Notes due 2029, and the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company determined that the Revolving Credit Facility approximated fair value. The A&R Term B Facility and the Senior Notes due 2029’s fair values are approximately $943 million and $294 million, respectively. The fair values of the debt are based on the quoted inactive prices and are therefore classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments—The fair value of the Swap Agreements at December 31, 2021 was not material. The estimated fair value is based on Level 2 inputs primarily including the forward LIBOR curve available to swap dealers. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables - net, and accounts payables contained in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value.

Commitments and Contingencies

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign government requirements relating to the protection of the environment. It believes that, as a general matter, its policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and personal injury and that its handling, manufacture, use and disposal of hazardous substances are in accordance with environmental and safety laws and regulations. The Company has incurred remedial response and voluntary cleanup costs for site contamination and is a party to claims associated with environmental and safety matters, including products containing hazardous substances. Additional claims and costs involving environmental matters are likely to continue to arise in the future.

Liabilities for environmental costs were $22 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, environmental expenses related to these liabilities were not material.

Obligations Payable Under Indemnification Agreements

The indemnification and reimbursement agreement (the “Reimbursement Agreement”) and the tax matters agreement (the “Tax Matters Agreement”) (collectively, the “Indemnification Agreements”) are further described below.

Reimbursement Agreement

In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into the Reimbursement Agreement pursuant to which the Company has an obligation to make cash payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of payments for certain Honeywell environmental-liability payments, which include amounts billed (“payments”), less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts relating to such liabilities, and less 90% of the net proceeds received by Honeywell in connection with (i) affirmative claims relating to such liabilities, (ii) contributions by other parties relating to such liabilities and (iii) certain property sales (the “recoveries”). The amount payable by the Company in respect of such liabilities arising in respect of any given year is subject to a cap of $140 million.

Payments in respect of the liabilities arising in a given year will be made quarterly throughout such year on the basis of an estimate of the liabilities and recoveries provided by Honeywell. Following the end of any such year, Honeywell will provide the Company with a calculation of the amount of payments and the recoveries actually received.

Payment amounts under the Reimbursement Agreement will be deferred to the extent that a specified event of default has occurred and is continuing under certain indebtedness, including under the A&R Credit Agreement, or the payment thereof causes the Company to not be compliant with certain financial covenants in certain indebtedness, including the Company’s A&R Credit Agreement on a pro forma basis, including the maximum total leverage ratio (ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated EBITDA, which excludes any amounts owed to Honeywell under the Reimbursement Agreement), and the minimum interest coverage ratio.

The obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement will continue until the earlier of: (1) December 31, 2043; or (2) December 31 of the third consecutive year during which the annual reimbursement obligation (including in respect of deferred payment amounts) has been less than $25 million.

In 2021 and 2020, the Company and Honeywell entered into several amendments to the Reimbursement Agreement. These amendments included modifications of certain covenants in Exhibit G to conform to the amended covenants included in the Credit Agreement First Amendment, deferment of certain payments under the Reimbursement Agreement to later in the year, and amendment of Exhibit G to, among other things, permit sale and leaseback transaction. An aggregate amount of up to $150 million would be permitted thereunder so long as the same conditions that are applicable under the Credit Agreement are satisfied. On February 12, 2021 the covenants in Exhibit G of the Reimbursement Agreement were amended and restated in their entirety to substantially conform to the affirmative and negative covenants contained in the A&R Credit Agreement.

The following table summarizes information concerning the Company’s Reimbursement Agreement liabilities:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2021			2020			2019
Beginning balance	$	591		$	585		$	616
Accruals for indemnification liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable		146			146			179

Indemnification payment		(140	)		(140	)		(139	)
Ending balance(2)	$	597		$	591		$	585

(1)Reduction in indemnification liabilities relates to a provision in the Reimbursement Agreement that reduces the obligation due to Honeywell for any proceeds received by Honeywell from a property sale of a site under the agreement.

(2)Reimbursement Agreement liabilities deemed probable and reasonably estimable, however, it is possible the Company could pay $140 million per year (exclusive of any late payment fees up to 5% per annum) until the earlier of (1) December 31, 2043; or (2) December 31 of the third consecutive year during which the annual reimbursement obligation (including in respect of deferred payment amounts) has been less than $25 million.

Reimbursement Agreement liabilities are included in the following balance sheet accounts:

	Years Ended December 31,
	2021		2020
Accrued liabilities	$	140	$	140
Obligations payable under Indemnification Agreements		457		451
	$	597	$	591

The Company does not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of indemnification liabilities to be recorded upon future completion of studies, litigation or settlements, and neither the timing nor the amount of the ultimate costs associated with such indemnification liability payments can be determined although they could be material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid.

Independent of the Company’s payments under the Reimbursement Agreement, the Company will have ongoing liability for certain environmental claims which are part of the Company’s going forward business.

Tax Matters Agreement

In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into the Tax Matters Agreement with Honeywell pursuant to which it is responsible and will indemnify Honeywell for certain taxes, including certain income taxes, sales taxes, VAT and payroll taxes, relating to the business for all periods, including periods prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off. In addition, the Tax Matters Agreement addresses the allocation of liability for taxes that are incurred as a result of restructuring activities undertaken to effectuate the Spin-Off.

The Company is required to indemnify Honeywell for any taxes resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off and related internal transactions to qualify for their intended tax treatment under U.S. federal, state and local income tax law, as well as foreign tax law, where such taxes result from action or omission of the Company not permitted by the Separation and Distribution Agreement or the Tax Matters Agreement.

As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company had an indemnity liability owed to Honeywell for future tax payments of $128 million and $139 million, respectively, which is included in Obligations payable under Indemnification Agreements.

Trademark Agreement

The Company and Honeywell entered into a 40-year Trademark License Agreement (the “Trademark Agreement”) that authorizes the Company’s use of certain licensed trademarks in the operation of Resideo’s business for the advertising, sale and distribution of certain licensed products. In exchange, the Company will pay a royalty fee of 1.5% on net revenue to Honeywell related to such licensed products which is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, royalty fees were $21 million, $26 million, and $27 million, respectively.

Other Matters

The Company is subject to lawsuits, investigations, and disputes arising out of the conduct of its business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability, prior acquisitions and divestitures, employee matters, intellectual property, and environmental, health, and safety matters. The Company recognizes a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. The Company continually assesses the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of possible losses (taking into consideration any insurance recoveries), based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. No such matters are material to the Company's unaudited financial statements.

The Company, the Company’s former CEO Michael Nefkens, the Company’s former CFO Joseph Ragan, and the Company’s former CIO Niccolo de Masi are named defendants of a class action securities suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota styled In re Resideo Technologies, Inc. Securities Litigation, 19-cv-02863 (the “Securities Litigation”). The complaint, as amended, asserts claims under Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, broadly alleging, among other things, that the defendants (or some of them) made false and misleading statements regarding, among other things, Resideo’s business, performance, the efficiency of its supply chain, operational and administrative issues resulting from the spin-off from Honeywell, certain business initiatives, and financial guidance in 2019.

On July 30, 2021, the Company executed a term sheet with plaintiffs’ representatives setting forth an agreement in principle to settle the claims alleged in the complaint, as amended. The total amount to be paid in settlement of the claims as set forth in the agreement in principle is $55 million. Insurance recoveries of approximately $39 million are expected related to the settlement. The claim settlement payment and related insurance recoveries have been paid to an escrow account pending final court approval of the Securities Litigation. On August 18, 2021, the Company and plaintiffs’ representative executed a definitive Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement reflecting the terms of the agreement in principle and other customary terms and conditions (the “Settlement”), including court approval of the Settlement. No objections to the Settlement were filed with the court. On January 27, 2022, the court held a final hearing to consider whether the Settlement is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the Settlement class and took a motion for approval of the Settlement under advisement. The Company intends to vigorously pursue approval of the Settlement, but there can be no assurance that court approval will be granted.

Certain current or former directors and officers of the Company were defendants in a consolidated derivative action in the District Court for the District of Delaware under the caption In re Resideo Technologies, Inc. Derivative Litigation, 20-cv-00915 (the “Federal Derivative Action”). On September 21, 2021, the parties filed a stipulation requesting that the Federal Derivative Action be transferred to the District of Minnesota, where Securities Litigation is pending. The court ordered the transfer of the Federal Derivative Action on September 23, 2021. On September 1, 2021, an additional shareholder derivative complaint was filed by Riviera Beach, part of the leadership group in the Federal Derivative Action, and City of Hialeah Employees Retirement System against certain current or former directors and officers of the Company in the District of Minnesota, alleging substantially that the same facts and making substantially the same claims against the same defendants as in the Federal Derivative Action, and additionally referencing board materials obtained through a demand made pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware Code Title 8 (the “Riviera Beach Action”). On December 1, 2021, the Federal Derivative Action and the Riviera Beach Action were consolidated into a single action under the caption: In re Resideo Technologies, Inc. Derivative Litigation, 21-cv-01965 (the “Consolidated Federal Derivative Action”). The Consolidated Federal Derivative Action is currently stayed pending entry of a final judgement in the Securities Litigation.

On June 25, 2021, the Bud & Sue Frashier Family Trust U/A DTD 05/05/98, filed a shareholder derivative complaint against certain current or former directors and officers of the Company in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Bud & Sue Frashier Trust U/A DTD 05/05/98 v. Fradin, 2021-0556 (“Delaware Chancery Derivative Action”). The Delaware Chancery Derivative Action alleges substantially the same facts and makes substantially the same claims as the Federal Derivative Action, and additionally references board materials obtained through a demand made pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware Code Title 8. The Delaware Chancery Derivative Action remains stayed by agreement of the parties. The Company intends to defend this action vigorously, but there can be no assurance that the defense will be successful.

Warranties and Guarantees

In the normal course of business, the Company issues product warranties and product performance guarantees. It accrues for the estimated cost of product warranties and product performance guarantees based on contract terms and historical experience at the time of sale. Adjustments to initial obligations for warranties and guarantees are made as changes to the obligations become reasonably estimable. Product warranties and product performance guarantees are included in Accrued liabilities.

Purchase Commitments

The Company’s unconditional purchase obligations include purchase commitments with suppliers and other obligations entered in to during the normal course of business regarding the purchase of goods and services. As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s estimated minimum obligations associated with unconditional purchase obligations, which are not recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet, were $34 million in 2022, $34 million in 2023, $31 million in 2024 and $2 million in 2025. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, purchases related to these obligations were $22 million, $22 million and $24 million, respectively.

The benefit obligation generated a global net actuarial gain of $38 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. A global increase in discount rates over the course of the year was the main driver, generating a total gain of $34 million across all plans. In addition, experience gains amounted to $6 million globally, ($2 million U.S. and $4 million Non-U.S.) and demographic assumptions gains were $3 million (driven primarily by the introduction of new demographic tables in Switzerland). These gains were partially offset by losses on other financial assumptions of approximately $5 million, primarily as a result of higher pension increase assumption in Germany.

Actual return on plan assets for the year ended December 31, 2021 was higher than expected driven by return-seeking asset performance exceeding expectations leading to an additional asset gain of $9 million globally, for a total asset return of $27 million globally.

Amounts recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) associated with pension plans at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

Significant actuarial assumptions used in determining the benefit obligations and net periodic benefit (income) cost for benefit plans are presented in the following table as weighted averages.

	U.S. Plans							Non-U.S. Plans
		2021		2020		2019			2021		2020		2019
Actuarial assumptions used to determine benefit obligations as of December 31:

Expected annual rate of compensation increase		3.5	%	3.4	%	3.4	%		2.4	%	2.4	%	2.4	%

The discount rate for the U.S. pension plans reflects the current rate at which the associated liabilities could be settled at the measurement date of December 31. To determine discount rates for the U.S. pension plans, the Company uses a modeling process that involves matching the expected cash outflows of its benefit plans to a yield curve constructed from a portfolio of high-quality, fixed income debt instruments. The Company uses the single weighted-average yield of this hypothetical portfolio as a discount rate benchmark.

The expected rate of return on U.S. plan assets of 4.7% is a long-term rate based on historical plan asset returns over varying long-term periods combined with current market conditions and broad asset mix considerations. The Company reviews the expected rate of return on an annual basis and revises it as appropriate.

For non-U.S. benefit plans, actuarial assumptions reflect economic and market factors relevant to each country.

The following amounts relate to pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations exceeding the fair value of plan assets.

	December 31,
	U.S. Plans				Non-U.S. Plans
		2021		2020		2021		2020

The Company utilized a third-party investment management firm to serve as its Outsourced Chief Investment Officer; however, the Company has appointed an internal fiduciary committee that monitors adherence to the investment guidelines the firm will follow.

The Company employs an investment approach whereby a mix of equities and fixed income investments are used to maximize the long-term return of plan assets for a prudent level of risk. Risk tolerance is established through careful consideration of plan liabilities and plan funded status. The investment portfolio contains a diversified blend of equity and fixed income investments. Furthermore, equity investments are diversified across U.S. and non-U.S. stocks, as well as growth, value and small and large capitalizations. Other assets such as real estate and hedge funds may be used to improve portfolio diversification.

The non-U.S. investment policies are different for each country as local regulations, funding requirements, and financial and tax considerations are part of the funding and investment allocation process in each country.

A majority of the U.S. pension plan assets as of December 31, 2021 do not have published pricing and are valued using Net Asset Value (“NAV”) which approximates fair value. NAV by asset category and fair value by asset category are as follows for December 31, 2021 and 2020:

	U.S. Plans
	December 31, 2021				December 31, 2020

Corporate Bonds and Government Bonds held as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are valued either by using pricing models, bids provided by brokers or dealers, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows and as such include adjustments for certain risks that may not be observable such as credit and liquidity risks. Other investments as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and Insurance Contracts are classified as Level 3 as there are neither quoted prices nor other observable inputs for pricing. Insurance Contracts are issued by insurance companies and are valued at cash surrender value, which approximates the contract fair value. Other investments consist of a collective pension foundation that is valued and allocated by the plan administrator.

The Company utilizes the services of retirement and investment consultants to actively manage the assets of the Company’s pension plans. The Company has established asset allocation targets and investment guidelines based on the guidance of the consultants. The Company’s target allocations are 54% fixed income investments, 28% global equity investments, 9% global real estate investments and 9% cash and other investments.

The Company’s general funding policy for qualified defined benefit pension plans is to contribute amounts at least sufficient to satisfy regulatory funding standards. In 2021, it was not required to make contributions to the U.S. pension plans, and no contributions were made. There is no requirement to make any contributions to the U.S. pension plans in 2022. In 2021, contributions of $3 million were made to the non-U.S. pension plans to satisfy regulatory funding requirements. In 2022, the Company expects to make contributions of cash and/or marketable securities of approximately $3 million to the non-U.S. pension plans to satisfy regulatory funding standards. Contributions for both the U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans do not reflect benefits paid directly from Company assets.

Benefit payments, including amounts to be paid from Company assets, and reflecting expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid as follows:

	U.S. Plans		Non-U.S. Plans
2022	$	15	$	3
2023	$	15	$	2
2024	$	16	$	3

2026	$	18	$	3
2027-2031	$	96	$	23

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2021

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Accounting Principles

Accounting Principles—The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following is a description of Resideo’s significant accounting policies.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation—The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Resideo Technologies, Inc. and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments having an original maturity of three months or less.

Accounts Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts—Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount as a result of transactions with customers. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses as a result of customers’ inability to make required payments. The Company estimates anticipated losses from doubtful accounts based on days past due as measured from the contractual due date and historical collection history. The Company also takes into consideration changes in economic conditions that may not be reflected in historical trends, for example customers in bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization. Receivables are written-off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when they are determined to be uncollectible. Such determination includes analysis and consideration of the particular conditions of the account, including time intervals since last collection, customer performance against agreed upon payment plans, solvency of customer and any bankruptcy proceedings.

Inventories

Inventories—Inventories in the Products & Solutions business are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, including direct material costs and direct and indirect manufacturing costs, or net realizable value. Inventories in the ADI Global Distribution business are stated at average cost. Reserves are maintained for obsolete and surplus items.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment—Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting, the straight-line method of depreciation is used over the estimated useful lives of 10 to 50 years for buildings and improvements, 3 to 16 years for machinery and equipment and 3 to 10 years for tooling equipment.

Goodwill

Goodwill—The Company performs goodwill impairment testing annually, on the first day of the fourth quarter each year or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level. The Company has two reporting units, Products & Solutions and ADI Global Distribution. The Company performs its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value provided the loss recognized does not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

Determining the fair value of a reporting unit involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. For the 2021 annual impairment test, the Company used a weighting of fair values derived from the income approach and market approach. Under the income approach, the Company calculates the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The income approach requires the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, assumed terminal value, and appropriate discount rates. Under the market approach, the Company utilizes the public company guideline method.

The Company believes the estimates and assumptions used in the calculations are reasonable. In addition, the extent to which COVID-19 may adversely impact the Company’s business depends on future developments, which are uncertain and unpredictable, depending upon severity and duration of the outbreak, and the effectiveness of actions taken globally to contain or mitigate its effects. Any resulting financial impact cannot be estimated reasonably at this time but may adversely affect the Company’s business and financial results. It is possible that into 2022, macroeconomic conditions may have unexpected impacts on the Company’s business. If there were an adverse change in facts and circumstances, then an impairment charge may be necessary in the future. Should the fair value of the Company’s reporting units fall below its carrying amount because of reduced operating performance, market declines,

changes in the discount rate, or other conditions, charges for impairment may be necessary. The Company monitors its reporting units to determine if there is an indicator of potential impairment.

Other Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets

Other Intangible Assets and Long-lived Assets—Other intangible assets with determinable lives consist of customer lists, technology, patents and trademarks and software intangibles and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 3 to 15 years. They are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets are measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the asset is considered to be impaired, the amount of any impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the impaired asset.

Warranties and Guarantees

Warranties and Guarantees—Expected warranty costs for products sold are recognized based on an estimate of the amount that eventually will be required to settle such obligations. These accruals are based on factors such as past experience, length of the warranty and various other considerations. Costs of product recalls, which may include the cost of the product being replaced as well as the customer’s cost of the recall, including labor to remove and replace the recalled part, are accrued as part of the warranty accrual at the time an obligation becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. These estimates are adjusted from time to time based on facts and circumstances that impact the status of existing claims.

Leases

Leases—Effective January 1, 2019, arrangements containing leases are evaluated as an operating or finance lease at lease inception. For operating leases, the Company recognizes an operating right-of-use asset and operating lease liability at lease commencement based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

Since an implicit rate of return is not readily determinable for the Company’s leases, an incremental borrowing rate is used in determining the present value of lease payments and is calculated based on information available at the lease commencement date. The incremental borrowing rate is determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest the Company would have to pay to borrow funds on a collateralized basis over a similar term. The Company references a market yield curve consistent with the Company’s credit rating which is risk-adjusted to approximate a collateralized rate in the currency of the lease. These rates are updated on a quarterly basis for measurement of new lease obligations. Most leases include renewal options; however, generally it is not reasonably certain that these options will be exercised at lease commencement. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components for its real estate and automobile leases.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition—Product and service revenues are recognized when or as the Company transfers control of the promised products or services to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services.

In the sale of products, the terms of a contract or the historical business practice can give rise to variable consideration due to, but not limited to, discounts and rebates. The Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount that will be received from customers and reduces revenues recognized accordingly. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company.

Sales, use and value added taxes collected by the Company and remitted to various government authorities were not recognized as revenues and are reported on a net basis.

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers were included in Cost of goods sold.

Royalty

Royalty—In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company and Honeywell entered into a 40-year Trademark License Agreement (“the Trademark Agreement”) that authorizes the Company’s use of certain licensed trademarks in the operation of Resideo’s business for the advertising, sale and distribution of certain licensed products. In exchange, the Company pays a royalty fee of 1.5% of net revenue of the licensed products to Honeywell which is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Reimbursement Agreement

Reimbursement Agreement—In connection with the Spin-Off the Company entered into an Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement with Honeywell (the “Reimbursement Agreement”), pursuant to which it has an obligation to make cash payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of payments, which include amounts billed, with respect to certain environmental claims, remediation and, to the extent arising after the Spin-Off, hazardous exposure or toxic tort claims, in each case, including consequential damages (the “liabilities”) in respect of specified Honeywell properties contaminated through historical business operations prior to the Spin-Off (“Honeywell Sites”), including the legal and other costs of defending and resolving such liabilities, less 90% of Honeywell’s net insurance receipts relating to such liabilities, and less 90% of the net proceeds received by Honeywell in connection with (i) affirmative claims relating to such liabilities, (ii) contributions by other parties relating to such liabilities and (iii) certain property sales. The amount payable in respect of such liabilities arising in any given year is subject to a cap of $140 million. Reimbursement Agreement expenses are presented within Other expense, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and within Accrued liabilities and Obligations payable under Indemnification Agreements in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For additional information, see Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies.

Environmental

Environmental—The Company accrues costs related to environmental matters when it is probable that it has incurred a liability related to a contaminated site and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Environmental costs for the Company’s owned sites are presented within Cost of goods sold for operating sites. For additional information, see Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies.

Tax Indemnification Agreement

Tax Indemnification Agreement—The Tax Matters Agreement provides that Resideo is required to indemnify Honeywell for any taxes (and reasonable expenses) resulting from the failure of the Spin-Off and related internal transactions to qualify for their intended tax treatment under U.S. federal, state and local income tax law, as well as foreign tax law, where such taxes result from (a) breaches of covenants and representations the Company makes and agrees to in connection with the Spin-Off, (b) the application of certain provisions of U.S. federal income tax law to these transactions or (c) any other action taken or omission made (other than actions expressly required or permitted by the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement or other ancillary agreements) after the consummation of the Spin-Off that gives rise to these taxes. As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company had an indemnity outstanding to Honeywell for past and potential future tax payments of $128 million and $139 million, respectively. See Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies.

Research and Development

Research and Development—The Company conducts research and development activities, which consist primarily of the development of new products as well as enhancements and improvements to existing products that substantially change the product. Research and development costs primarily relate to employee compensation and consulting fees which are charged to expense as incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising Costs—The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs totaled $22 million, $25 million and $46 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Defined Contribution Plans

Defined Contribution Plans—The Company sponsors various defined contribution plans with varying terms depending on the country of employment. For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 the Company recognized compensation expense related to the defined contribution plans of $19 million, $18 million, and $18 million, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Stock-Based Compensation Plans—The principal awards issued under Resideo’s stock-based compensation plans, which are described in Note 5. Stock-Based Compensation Plans, are restricted stock units. The cost for such

awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. Some awards are issued with a market condition which are valued on the grant date utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model. Stock options are also issued under Resideo’s stock-based compensation plans and are valued on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model and the Monte Carlo simulation model require estimates of future stock price volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and forfeitures.

For all stock-based compensation, the fair value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods (generally the vesting period of the equity award) and is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant to recognize expense for those awards that are expected to vest and are based on historical forfeiture rates.

Pension

Pension—The Company disaggregates the service cost component of net benefit costs and reports those costs in the same line item or items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other non-service components of net benefit costs are required to be presented separately from the service cost component and outside of income from operations.

The Company has recorded the service cost component of pension expense in Costs of goods sold and Selling, general and administrative expenses based on the classification of the employees it relates to. The remaining components of net benefit costs within pension expense, primarily interest costs and expected return on plan assets, are recorded in Other expense, net. The Company recognizes net actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the fair value of plan assets or the plans’ projected benefit obligation (the corridor) annually in the fourth quarter each year. This adjustment known as the mark to market adjustment is reported in Other expense, net.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation—Assets and liabilities of operations outside the United States with a functional currency other than U.S. Dollars are translated into U.S. Dollars using year-end exchange rates. Revenue, costs and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the year. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes—Significant judgment is required in evaluating tax positions. The Company establishes additional reserves for income taxes when, despite the belief that tax positions are fully supportable, there remain certain positions that do not meet the minimum recognition threshold. The approach for evaluating certain and uncertain tax positions is defined by the authoritative guidance which determines when a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are examined by various federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years in determining the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. The Company continually assesses the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjusts the income tax provision, the current tax liability and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a change in estimate become known.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share—Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding. For additional information, see Note 10. Earnings Per Share.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates—The preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures in the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed, and the effects of changes are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Estimates are used when accounting for stock-based compensation, pension benefits, indemnification liabilities, goodwill and intangible assets, and valuation allowances for accounts receivable, inventory, deferred tax assets, and the amounts of revenue and expenses reported during the period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recent accounting standards updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have an immaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation — Retirement Benefits — Defined Benefit Plans — General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, which amends the current disclosure requirements regarding defined benefit pensions and other post retirement plans and allows for the removal of certain disclosures, while adding certain new disclosure requirements. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a material financial statement impact.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). This ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by, among other things, eliminating certain existing exceptions related to the general approach in ASC 740 relating to franchise taxes, reducing complexity in the interim-period accounting for year-to-date loss limitations and changes in tax laws, and clarifying the accounting for transactions outside of business combinations that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The Company early adopted the provisions of this guidance on January 1, 2020. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material financial statement impact.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which is optional guidance related to reference rate reform that provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance along with its subsequent clarifications, is effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and is applicable for the Company’s A&R Senior Credit Facilities and Swap Agreements, which use LIBOR as a reference rate. The A&R Senior Credit Facilities include a transition clause to a new reference rate in the event LIBOR is discontinued and Swap Agreements will be amended to match the new reference rate. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance, but do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 18. Long-term Debt and Credit Agreement for further details on the Company’s Swap Agreements and A&R Senior Credit Facilities.
