Company Overview

Watsco, Inc. was incorporated in Florida in 1956, and, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “Watsco,” the “Company,” or “we,” “us,” or “our”) is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration equipment, and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry in North America. At March 31, 2026, we operated from 693 locations in 43 U.S. States, Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico with additional market coverage on an export basis to portions of Latin America and the Caribbean.

Revenues primarily consist of sales of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration equipment, and related parts and supplies. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of selling expenses, the largest components of which are salaries, commissions, and marketing expenses that are variable and correlate to changes in sales. Other significant selling, general and administrative expenses relate to the operation of warehouse and distribution facilities, including a fleet of trucks and forklifts, and facility rent, a majority of which we operate under non-cancelable operating leases.

Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment, and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, profitability can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns, particularly during the Summer and Winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is typically highest in the second and third quarters, and demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the first and fourth quarters. Demand related to the new construction sectors throughout most of the markets we serve tends to be fairly evenly distributed throughout the year and depends largely on housing completions and related weather and economic conditions.

Tariffs

We continue to monitor macroeconomic conditions and recent U.S. trade policy announcements, which have implications for the various OEMs and vendors that comprise our supply chain. Many HVAC equipment and component manufacturers, including Carrier Global Corporation (“Carrier”) and Rheem Manufacturing Company, source component parts from China and Mexico or assemble significant portions of residential and light-commercial products in Mexico, exposing them to tariff and inflationary pressures. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating the broad-based tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, providing potential relief from the certain tariff pressures. However, significant uncertainty exists regarding the timing, amount, and scope of any potential tariff refunds following the Supreme Court decision, as well as the possibility of alternative trade policy measures. Additionally, on April 6, 2026, the Section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs were adjusted under a new rule that will change how tariffs are calculated on imported copper, steel, and aluminum products. Under the new rule, tariff rates on most imported copper, steel, and aluminum products will now be calculated on the full value of the imported products, which in some cases will increase the amount of tariff due by the OEMs.

In response, our OEM partners and suppliers have announced or implemented various pricing actions that increase the price of the products we procure. To mitigate these effects, we have taken pricing actions, leveraging our technology platforms to efficiently adapt to changing conditions. While the long-term impact of tariffs remains uncertain, we believe that our focus on the HVAC replacement market remains a stabilizing factor, given the essential role of these products in providing comfort and healthy environments for homeowners and businesses. However, if additional restrictions, amendments to existing trade agreements, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, or further tariff increases on goods sourced from or assembled in Mexico and China, significantly raise our product costs, then we may need to increase our prices further, which could lead to reduced sales, customer loss, and potential harm to our business. We will continue to actively monitor these developments and their implications for our supply chain costs and pricing strategy.

Climate Change and Reductions in CO2e Emissions

We believe that our business plays an important and significant role in the drive to lower CO2e emissions. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”), heating and air conditioning accounts for roughly half of household energy consumption in the U.S. As such, replacing older, less efficient HVAC systems with higher efficiency systems is one of the most meaningful steps homeowners can take to reduce their electricity costs and carbon footprints.

The overwhelming majority of new HVAC systems that we sell replace systems that likely operate below current minimum efficiency standards in the U.S. and may use more harmful refrigerants that have been, or are being, phased-out. As consumers replace HVAC systems with new, higher-efficiency systems, homeowners will consume less energy, save costs, and reduce their carbon footprints.

Table of Contents

The sale of high-efficiency systems has long been a focus of ours, and we have invested in tools and technology intended to capture an increasingly richer sales mix over time. In addition, regulatory mandates will likely periodically increase the required minimum Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio rating, referred to as SEER, thus providing a catalyst for increased sales of higher-efficiency systems. The Company expects these regulations to reduce the carbon footprint of end-users and increase average selling prices over time, subject to customary risks of quality, availability, and performance of new HVAC systems.

The American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020 granted the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) the authority to regulate hydrofluorocarbon (“HFC”) refrigerants. Although HFCs were introduced as alternatives to ozone-depleting substances like chlorofluorocarbons and hydrochlorofluorocarbons, they are now recognized greenhouse gases that impact climate change due to their high global warming potential (“GWP”). Consequently, a required 85% phasedown of HFC production and consumption over a 15-year period commenced on January 1, 2022 (40% of which was completed in 2024). Further regulations were implemented that (1) restricted the use of high-GWP refrigerants in new HVAC systems (the “410A Systems”) manufactured after December 31, 2024 and (2) established a timeline over which the sales and installation of 410A Systems by distributors and contractors were permitted. Beginning in late 2024, the Company, in collaboration with its OEMs and in anticipation of the change, began to transition its inventory to the new lower-GWP HVAC systems (the “A2L Systems”) and phase-out the 410A Systems. The regulations permitted the sale and installation of matching 410A HVAC Systems (i.e., outdoor and indoor components that are installed together) through December 31, 2025, after which the outdoor and indoor components may be separately sold and installed thereafter without limitation or expiration. On October 3, 2025, the EPA proposed changes to this regulation that would eliminate or extend the December 31, 2025 installation deadline of matching 410A Systems beyond that date, thus allowing the continued sale of such matching systems. As of the date of this filing, a final rule has not been issued. On December 23, 2025, the EPA issued an enforcement statement deprioritizing enforcement of the installation ban for affected 410A Systems that became effective on January 1, 2026. The Company continues to sell components of 410A Systems separately as permitted under the regulations and will assess its ability of offering matching 410A Systems once the EPA finalizes the rule change, which is expected in 2026.
