Access earnings results, analyst expectations, report, slides, earnings call, and transcript.
Overview
The earnings call reflects a mixed sentiment with some positive indicators like margin improvements and optimistic guidance, but also challenges such as ERP and HVAC headwinds, which are considered transitory. The Q&A section revealed management's confidence in overcoming these issues and maintaining guidance, which stabilizes sentiment. However, the significant cash used in operating activities and ERP-related costs counterbalance the positives. Given the market cap, the overall sentiment is neutral as the positives and negatives seem to balance each other out, suggesting a stock price movement within -2% to 2%.
Key Financial Performance
Adjusted EBITDA Record high at $229 million, up 21% year-over-year. Increase attributed to benefits from terminating the Honeywell Indemnification agreement and P&S' EBITDA outperformance.
Net Revenue $1.86 billion, up 2% year-over-year, including a 1% favorable impact from currency. Growth driven by volume and price increases across most product families and sales channels.
Gross Margin 29.8%, up 110 basis points year-over-year. Increase driven by margin-accretive activities at ADI and structural operating efficiencies at P&S.
Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS) $0.89, up from $0.59 in the prior period. Increase due to higher net income and a one-time tax benefit from terminating the Honeywell Indemnification agreement.
Products & Solutions (P&S) Net Revenue Grew 2% year-over-year, including a 1% favorable impact from currency. Growth driven by volume and price increases, offset by softer residential HVAC channel performance.
P&S Gross Margin 43%, up 80 basis points year-over-year. Increase attributed to efficient utilization of factories.
P&S Adjusted EBITDA Grew 5% year-over-year, driven by efficiency at the gross margin level and operating leverage.
ADI Net Revenue Grew 2% year-over-year, including a 1% favorable impact from currency. Growth driven by tariff-related pricing and low single-digit growth in most product categories.
ADI Gross Margin 22.6%, up 130 basis points year-over-year. Increase driven by high cross-sell volumes of exclusive brands and mix benefits from higher e-commerce sales.
ADI Adjusted EBITDA Flat year-over-year due to nonrecurring costs associated with ERP system implementation, despite increased margin dollars.
Total Cash Used by Operating Activities $1.571 billion, driven by the termination payment to Honeywell. Adjusted cash provided by operating activities was $19 million, lower than anticipated due to timing of payments and lower cash collections at ADI.

Key Q&A
Q:Can you quantify the impact of the HVAC regulatory change and ERP side on the third quarter and guidance?
A:Management did not provide specific impacts for each but mentioned that both had similar impacts on the business. They believe these headwinds are transitory and mostly behind them now. The HVAC market changes and ERP implementation caused unexpected challenges, but they feel confident about the guidance moving forward.
Q:Will the headwinds from HVAC and ERP end this quarter or bleed into 2026?
A:Management stated that the ERP issues will be resolved by the end of the year, while the HVAC market headwinds may slightly bleed into next year but are expected to be over by the end of the first quarter of 2026.
Q:What would the growth in P&S have been without the HVAC headwinds?
A:Management avoided providing specific growth figures without the HVAC headwinds but emphasized their strong position in the HVAC market with new product introductions like Focus Pro and ElitePRO. They highlighted strong performance in other areas like retail, OEM business, and safety products.
Q:Why are the HVAC headwinds considered transitory, and how do they impact Resideo?
A:The headwinds are due to excess inventory from regulatory changes, causing cash flow issues and market disturbances. Management believes these are transitory because HVAC systems have a replacement cycle, and Resideo is well-positioned with its product offerings. The impact is more on distributors' ability to stock products rather than direct discounting of Resideo's products.
Q:Were P&S gross and operating margins negatively impacted by HVAC?
A:Management clarified that their HVAC margins remain strong and there was no discounting of their products. However, distributors' cash flow issues due to excess inventory indirectly affected stocking levels.
Q:How should investors think about operating margins for each business into Q4 and the next 1-3 years?
A:Management expects continued gross margin expansion despite headwinds. ADI targets double-digit operating margins over the next 3-5 years, while P&S aims for 300-500 basis points of operating margin expansion in the same timeframe. They will provide updated numbers as the businesses become standalone.
Q:Are the 2026 consensus estimates of $7.76 billion in revenue and $3 in earnings achievable?
A:Management stated that these estimates are at the lower end of their initial budgeting process for 2026 and remain comfortable with them despite current headwinds.
Q:What is the quantitative impact of the ERP on Q4 dynamics?
A:The ERP-related SG&A impacts are roughly $15 million, split equally between Q3 and Q4. Revenue impact was greater in Q3 but not significantly higher than in Q4. Management is confident that the ERP impact is transitory.
Q:Can you provide a numerical breakdown of the $40 million EBITDA guide down for Q4?
A:Management indicated that high single-digit millions are due to ERP-related costs, with the rest driven by revenue impacts. The impact is roughly equal across both businesses.
Q:What factors should be considered for 2026 EBITDA guidance?
A:Management highlighted a $70 million step-up in EBITDA from the Honeywell-related indemnity, recovery from transitory impacts, and benefits from new product launches, ERP system improvements, and ongoing investments in omnichannel experiences and synergies.
Q:What is driving the higher project pipeline volume in October compared to July?
A:Management attributed the higher pipeline to strong execution, customer patience during ERP disruptions, and a recovery in customer engagement. They expect to convert the pipeline at historical rates.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided providing specific growth figures for P&S without HVAC headwinds and did not quantify the exact revenue impact of ERP-related issues in Q4.

Positive5-12
The earnings call summary indicates strong financial performance with a 5% revenue increase, improved gross margins, and a 20% increase in net income. Operating cash flow also rose by 15%. These factors suggest a positive outlook. However, the lack of discussion on strategic initiatives and operational updates, coupled with the acknowledgment of risks, tempers the positivity. Given the market cap of approximately $2.8 billion, the stock is likely to see a moderate positive reaction.
