What Went Well and What Went Wrong

What Went Well

  • Products & Solutions gross margin rose to 41.4% (+190 bps YoY), marking the eighth consecutive quarter of expansion; operating income increased to $136M (21.0% margin) on new product adoption (FocusPRO thermostats, BRK safety products) .

  • Management message on tariffs: “we believe Resideo will be able to essentially mitigate the cost impact of any tariffs,” backed by 98% USMCA-compliant Mexico sourcing for P&S and phased price increases across segments .

What Went Wrong

  • GAAP diluted EPS was a loss of $(0.02), driven by a $47M YoY increase in the Honeywell Reimbursement Agreement expense (accrual $90M, non-cash increase $55M in the quarter) despite cash payments remaining capped at $35M per quarter .
  • ADI operating income fell to $34M (3.0% margin) from $49M YoY, as higher SG&A/R&D (including Snap costs) offset margin gains; adjusted EBITDA margin ticked down to 6.4% (from 6.7%) .
  • Cash used in operations of $65M reflected seasonal working capital headwinds (higher receivables and early supplier payments for discounts), pressuring near-term cash metrics .

Management Commentary

  • CEO: “Resideo was at or above the high end of the range for all the metrics we provided for our quarterly financial outlook… Total adjusted earnings per share grew 34% year-over-year to $0.63.”
  • CEO on tariffs: “we believe Resideo will be able to essentially mitigate the cost impact of any tariffs” .
  • P&S President: “eighth consecutive quarter of year-over-year gross margin expansion… demand for our FocusPRO thermostat and BRK products” .
  • ADI President: “integration of Snap One continues to progress nicely, and we are ahead of our year 2 synergy goals… e-commerce structurally accretive” .
  • CFO: “we are reaffirming our 2025 outlook… phased price increases… goal is to essentially offset the tariff costs and maintain gross profit dollars” .

Q&A Highlights

  • Pricing/tariffs: Management will phase price increases at ADI and P&S to fully mitigate tariff impacts; sees prudent supplier actions and customer communication to preserve demand .
  • Demand sensitivity: Minimal evidence of buy-ahead or hesitancy; demand improved in commercial categories into April and early May, supporting outlook .
  • Consolidated price/mix: CFO noted top-line upside from pricing could be “relatively small” at P&S, more at ADI, phased through the year, with guidance held due to uncertainty .
  • Cycle view: P&S tied to housing turnover; existing home sales still depressed (~4M vs ~5M healthy) but broader remodeling and new home sales are supportive; content per new home is increasing .
  • Margin leverage: CFO expects ongoing gross margin accretion over the next few years driven by structural improvements and new products, without specific targets .

Estimates Context

  • Q1 2025 results beat Wall Street consensus across EPS, revenue, and adjusted EBITDA, with the largest surprise on EPS due to strong execution and gross margin expansion. See Financial Results table for detailed beats and surprise percentages. Values retrieved from S&P Global.*

Where estimates may need to adjust:

  • Raise EPS and EBITDA trajectories for FY 2025 to reflect better-than-expected Q1 and tariff mitigation plan; watch ADI pricing actions and P&S new product cadence potential for incremental top-line .

Key Takeaways for Investors

  • Gross margin expansion appears durable (28.9% total; P&S 41.4%) on structural efficiencies and accretive mix (e-commerce, Exclusive Brands), supporting multiple re-rating if sustained .
  • Tariff risk mitigated: 98% of P&S Mexico goods USMCA-compliant; phased pricing and supply chain actions aim to offset costs—reducing estimate volatility for 2025 .
  • Snap One integration is an upside lever: synergy capture ahead of plan, cross-selling broadening margins and revenue opportunities at ADI .
  • Near-term trading: Q2 guidance supports continuity; beats plus reaffirmed FY outlook are positive sentiment drivers; watch updates on tariff implementation cadence/pricing to gauge incremental tailwinds .
  • GAAP EPS will remain volatile due to Honeywell Reimbursement accruals despite cash caps; investors should anchor on adjusted EPS and cash generation trajectory .
  • 2H seasonality expected to be stronger; align positioning for product launches (FocusPRO retail, First Alert smart alarm with Google Home) that can bolster volumes/mix .
  • Cash discipline intact; temporary Q1 working capital usage should normalize across the year per guidance for $345–$405M cash from operations .
