NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2015

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Consolidation

Watsco, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Watsco,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated in Florida in 1956 and is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry in North America. The accompanying September 30, 2015 interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included herein. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements contained in this report include the accounts of Watsco, all of its wholly owned subsidiaries and the accounts of three joint ventures with Carrier Corporation (“Carrier”), in each of which Watsco maintains a controlling interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns, primarily 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 fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction market is fairly consistent during the year, subject to weather and economic conditions, including their effect on the number of housing completions.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the 2015 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or earnings per share as previously reported.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Significant estimates include valuation reserves for accounts receivable, inventories and income taxes, reserves related to self-insurance programs and the valuation of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. While we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from such estimates.

New Accounting Standards

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued a standard on revenue recognition that provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The standard is principle-based and provides a five-step model to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The core principle is that a company will recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this standard by one year. As a result, this standard is effective for our interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance that will require debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, rather than as an asset. This guidance is to be applied retrospectively and will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

Measurement of Inventory

In July 2015, the FASB issued guidance that simplifies the measurement of inventory by replacing the lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test. The guidance applies to all inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out or average cost methods. This guidance must be applied prospectively and will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements.

2.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

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


	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Basic Earnings per Share:
Net income attributable to Watsco, Inc. shareholders	$	57,968	$	54,461	$	146,439	$	127,315
Less: distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to non-vested restricted common stock		4,595		4,106		11,513		9,644

Earnings allocated to Watsco, Inc. shareholders	$	53,373	$	50,355	$	134,926	$	117,671

Weighted-average common shares outstanding - Basic		32,458,906		32,330,888		32,421,350		32,292,559
Basic earnings per share for Common and Class B common stock	$	1.64	$	1.56	$	4.16	$	3.64

Allocation of earnings for Basic:
Common stock	$	48,893	$	46,138	$	123,588	$	107,804
Class B common stock		4,480		4,217		11,338		9,867

	$	53,373	$	50,355	$	134,926	$	117,671

Diluted Earnings per Share:
Net income attributable to Watsco, Inc. shareholders	$	57,968	$	54,461	$	146,439	$	127,315
Less: distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to non-vested restricted common stock		4,592		4,103		11,505		9,635

Earnings allocated to Watsco, Inc. shareholders	$	53,376	$	50,358	$	134,934	$	117,680

Weighted-average common shares outstanding - Basic		32,458,906		32,330,888		32,421,350		32,292,559
Effect of dilutive stock options		39,951		45,051		47,963		52,509

Weighted-average common shares outstanding - Diluted		32,498,857		32,375,939		32,469,313		32,345,068

Diluted earnings per share for Common and Class B common stock	$	1.64	$	1.56	$	4.16	$	3.64

Anti-dilutive stock options not included above		16,332		28,565		58,169		7,788

Diluted earnings per share for our Common stock assumes the conversion of all of our Class B common stock into Common stock as of the beginning of the fiscal year; therefore, no allocation of earnings to Class B common stock is required. At September 30, 2015 and 2014, our outstanding Class B common stock was convertible into 2,724,464 and 2,707,725 shares of our Common stock, respectively.

3.	OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Other comprehensive loss consists of the foreign currency translation adjustment associated with our Canadian operations’ use of the Canadian dollar as its functional currency and changes in the unrealized (losses) gains on cash flow hedging instruments and available-for-sale securities. The tax effects allocated to each component of other comprehensive loss were as follows:


	Quarter Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Foreign currency translation adjustment	$	(14,682	)	$	(11,996	)	$	(31,585	)	$	(12,648	)

Unrealized gain on cash flow hedging instruments		1,294			—			3,192			—
Income tax expense		(348	)		—			(861	)		—

Unrealized gain on cash flow hedging instruments, net of tax		946			—			2,331			—

Reclassification of gain on cash flow hedging instruments into earnings		(356	)		—			(1,910	)		—
Income tax expense		96			—			516			—

Reclassification of gain on cash flow hedging instruments into earnings, net of tax		(260	)		—			(1,394	)		—


Unrealized (loss) gain on available-for-sale securities		(25	)		(9	)		9			(21	)
Income tax benefit (expense)		10			4			(3	)		8

Unrealized (loss) gain on available-for-sale securities, net of tax		(15	)		(5	)		6			(13	)

Other comprehensive loss	$	(14,011	)	$	(12,001	)	$	(30,642	)	$	(12,661	)

The changes in each component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, were as follows:


Nine Months Ended September 30,	2015			2014
Foreign currency translation adjustment:
Beginning balance	$	(23,623	)	$	(11,181	)
Current period other comprehensive loss		(18,853	)		(7,394	)

Ending balance	$	(42,476	)	$	(18,575	)

Cash flow hedging instruments:
Beginning balance	$	168			—
Current period other comprehensive income		1,398			—
Less reclassification adjustment		(837	)		—

Ending balance	$	729			—

Available-for-sale securities:
Beginning balance	$	(292	)	$	(293	)
Current period other comprehensive income (loss)		6			(13	)

Ending balance	$	(286	)	$	(306	)

Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax	$	(42,033	)	$	(18,881	)

4.	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to offset the earnings impact that foreign exchange rate fluctuations would otherwise have on certain monetary liabilities that are denominated in nonfunctional currencies.

Cash Flow Hedging Instruments

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges. The settlement of these derivatives results in reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings for the period in which the settlement of these instruments occur. The maximum period for which we hedge our cash flow using these instruments is 12 months, and accordingly, at September 30, 2015, all of our open foreign currency forward contracts had maturities of one year or less. The total notional value of our foreign currency exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges at September 30, 2015 was $24,900, and such contracts have varying terms expiring through April 2016. At September 30, 2014, our foreign currency forward contracts either were not designated as cash flow hedges or did not qualify for hedge accounting.

The impact from foreign exchange derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges was as follows for the periods indicated:


	Quarter Ended September 30,					Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015			2014		2015			2014
Gain recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	1,294			—	$	3,192			—
Gain reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings	$	(356	)		—	$	(1,910	)		—

At September 30, 2015, we expected an estimated $1,666 pre-tax gain to be reclassified into earnings to reflect the fixed prices obtained from foreign exchange hedging within the next 12 months.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

We have also entered into foreign currency forward contracts that are either not designated as hedges or do not qualify for hedge accounting. These derivative instruments were effective economic hedges for all of the periods presented. The fair value gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in earnings as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. The total notional value of our foreign currency exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments at September 30, 2015 was $14,600, and such contracts have varying terms expiring through November 2015.

We recognized a gain of $955 and $2,127 from foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We recognized a gain of $2,249 and $572 from foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments, which consist solely of foreign currency forward contracts, included in other current assets in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets. See Note 5.


	Asset Derivatives
	September 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments	$	1,137	$	384
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments		268		260

Total asset derivative instruments	$	1,405	$	644

5.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

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


				Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2015 Using
	Balance Sheet Location	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Available-for-sale securities	Other assets	$	275	$	275		—		—
Derivative financial instruments	Other current assets	$	1,405		—	$	1,405		—

				Fair Value Measurements at December 31, 2014 Using
	Balance Sheet Location	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Available-for-sale securities	Other assets	$	266	$	266		—		—
Derivative financial instruments	Other current assets	$	644		—	$	644		—

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used for these assets and liabilities, as well as the level of input used to measure fair value:

Available-for-sale securities – these investments are exchange-traded equity securities. Fair values for these investments are based on closing stock prices from active markets and are therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative financial instruments – these derivatives are foreign currency forward contracts. See Note 4. Fair value is based on observable market inputs, such as forward rates in active markets; therefore, we classify these derivatives within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

There were no transfers in or out of Level 1 and Level 2 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

6.	PURCHASE OF OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN JOINT VENTURE

On July 1, 2014, we exercised our second option to acquire an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise, LLC (“Carrier Enterprise I”) for cash consideration of $87,735, following which we have an 80% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise I. Neither we nor Carrier has any remaining options to purchase additional ownership interests in Carrier Enterprise I, or any of our other joint ventures with Carrier.

DEBT

We maintain an unsecured, syndicated revolving credit agreement that provides for borrowings of up to $600,000. Borrowings are used to fund seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, dividends (if and as declared by our Board of Directors), stock repurchases and issuances of letters of credit. The credit agreement matures on July 1, 2019. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $304,941 and $303,199, respectively, were outstanding under the revolving credit agreement. The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants with respect to consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios, and other customary restrictions. We believe we were in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2015.

At September 30, 2015, $2,353 of short-term borrowings were outstanding under a credit line established by our Mexican subsidiary. This line of credit has a one-year term, maturing on June 15, 2016, is non-committed and provides for borrowings of up to approximately $8,800 (MXN $150,000) for general corporate purposes. No short-term borrowings were outstanding under this credit line at December 31, 2014.

9.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation, Claims and Assessments

We are involved in litigation incidental to the operation of our business. We vigorously defend all matters in which we or our subsidiaries are named defendants and, for insurable losses, maintain significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments that may affect us. Although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage and the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, based on the current information available, we do not believe the ultimate liability associated with any known claims or litigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Self-Insurance

Self-insurance reserves are maintained relative to company-wide casualty insurance and health benefit programs. The level of exposure from catastrophic events is limited by the purchase of stop-loss and aggregate liability reinsurance coverage. When estimating the self-insurance liabilities and related reserves, management considers a number of factors, which include historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and valuations provided by independent third-party actuaries. Management reviews its assumptions with its independent third-party actuaries to evaluate whether the self-insurance reserves are adequate. If actual claims or adverse development of loss reserves occur and exceed these estimates, additional reserves may be required. Reserves in the amounts of $3,687 and $4,630 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, were established related to such programs and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets.

10.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Purchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 62% and 63% of all inventory purchases made during the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Purchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 62% and 61% of all inventory purchases made during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, approximately $82,000 and $61,000, respectively, was payable to Carrier and its affiliates, net of receivables. Our joint ventures with Carrier also sell HVAC products to Carrier and its affiliates. Revenues in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 included $18,389, $11,518, $47,293 and $29,181, respectively, of sales to Carrier and its affiliates. We believe these transactions are conducted at arm’s-length in the ordinary course of business.

11.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On October 23, 2015, our Board of Directors approved an increase to the quarterly cash dividend per share of Common and Class B common stock to $0.85 per share from $0.70 per share beginning with the dividend that will be paid in January 2016.

Company Overview

Watsco, Inc. was incorporated in Florida in 1956, and, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “Watsco,” or “we”, “us” or “our”) is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry in North America. At September 30, 2015, we operated from 567 locations in 37 U.S. States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico with additional market coverage on an export basis to Latin America and the Caribbean.

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

Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns, primarily 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 fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction market is fairly consistent during the year, subject to weather and economic conditions, including their effect on the number of housing completions.

Joint Ventures with Carrier Corporation

In 2009, we formed a joint venture with Carrier Corporation (“Carrier”), which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise I, in which Carrier contributed 95 of its company-owned locations in 13 Sun Belt states and Puerto Rico and its export division in Miami, Florida, and we contributed 15 locations that distributed Carrier products. In July 2012, we exercised our option to acquire an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise I, which increased our ownership interest to 70%; and, on July 1, 2014, we exercised our last remaining option to acquire an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise I, which increased our controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise I to 80%. Neither Watsco nor Carrier has any remaining options to purchase additional ownership interests in Carrier Enterprise I or any of our other joint ventures with Carrier, which are described below.

In 2011, we formed a second joint venture with Carrier and completed two additional transactions. In April 2011, Carrier contributed 28 of its company-owned locations in eight Northeast U.S. States, and we contributed 14 locations in the Northeast U.S. In July 2011, we purchased Carrier’s distribution operations in Mexico, which included seven locations. Collectively, the Northeast locations and the Mexico operations are referred to as Carrier Enterprise II. We have a 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise II, and Carrier has a 40% non-controlling interest.

In 2012, we formed a third joint venture, which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise III, with UTC Canada Corporation, referred to as UTC Canada, an affiliate of Carrier. Carrier contributed 35 of its company-owned locations in Canada to Carrier Enterprise III. We have a 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise III, and UTC Canada has a 40% non-controlling interest.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. At least quarterly, management reevaluates its judgments and estimates, which are based on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Our critical accounting policies are included in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2015. We believe that there have been no significant changes during the quarter ended September 30, 2015 to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

New Accounting Standards

Refer to Note 1 to our condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of new accounting standards.

Third Quarter of 2015 Compared to Third Quarter of 2014

Revenues

Revenues for the third quarter of 2015 increased $42.0 million, or 4%, as compared to the third quarter of 2014, including $1.7 million from locations opened during the preceding 12 months, offset by $12.2 million from locations closed. On a same-store basis, revenues increased $52.5 million, or 5%, as compared to the same period in 2014, reflecting a 5% increase in sales of HVAC equipment (66% of sales), a 3% increase in sales of other HVAC products (29% of sales) and a 2% increase in sales of commercial refrigeration products (5% of sales). The increase in same-store revenues is primarily due to strong demand for the replacement of residential HVAC equipment. Revenues from sales of residential HVAC equipment also benefited from an improved sales mix of higher-efficiency air conditioning and heating systems, which sell at higher unit prices.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2015 increased $11.1 million, or 4%, as compared to the third quarter of 2014, primarily as a result of increased revenues. Gross profit margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 improved 10 basis-points to 24.3% versus 24.2%.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2015 increased $5.6 million, or 3%, primarily due to increased revenues and additional headcount. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of revenues for both the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was 14.9%. Selling, general and administrative expenses included $2.2 million of incremental costs for the third quarter of 2015 in excess of the third quarter of 2014 for ongoing technology initiatives. On a same-store basis, selling, general and administrative expenses increased 4% as compared to the same period in 2014.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, for the third quarter of 2015 decreased 1% to $1.5 million, primarily as a result of a decrease in average outstanding borrowings, partially offset by a higher effective interest rate in 2015, in each case as compared to the same period in 2014.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased to $34.5 million for the third quarter of 2015 as compared to $32.6 million for the third quarter of 2014 and are a composite of the income taxes attributable to our wholly owned operations and income taxes attributable to the Carrier joint ventures, which are primarily taxed as partnerships for income tax purposes. The effective income tax rates attributable to us were 36.7% and 36.8% for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to higher tax credits in 2015 versus 2014 related to income generated by our U.S. subsidiaries.

Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.

Net income attributable to Watsco for the third quarter of 2015 increased $3.5 million, or 6%, as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues and expanded profit margins, as discussed above.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

Revenues

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $141.7 million, or 5%, as compared to the same period in 2014, including $4.4 million from locations opened during the preceding 12 months, offset by $23.6 million from locations closed. On a same-store basis, revenues increased $160.9 million, or 5%, as compared to the same period in 2014, reflecting a 7% increase in sales of HVAC equipment (66% of sales), a 2% increase in sales of other HVAC products (29% of sales) and a 2% increase in sales of commercial refrigeration products (5% of sales). The increase in same-store revenues is primarily due to strong demand for the replacement of residential and commercial HVAC equipment. Revenues from sales of residential HVAC equipment also benefited from an improved sales mix of higher-efficiency air conditioning and heating systems, which sell at higher unit prices.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $43.2 million, or 6%, as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of increased revenues. Gross profit margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 improved 30 basis-points to 24.5% versus 24.2% for the same period in 2014, primarily due to higher realized gross margins for residential HVAC equipment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $14.4 million, or 3%, as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily as a result of increased revenues. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a

percent of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased to 15.7% from 15.9% for the same period in 2014. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to improved leveraging of fixed operating costs as compared to 2014. Selling, general and administrative expenses included $5.4 million of incremental costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 in excess of the same period in 2014 for ongoing technology initiatives. On a same-store basis, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased 4% as compared to 2014.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $0.7 million, or 19%, primarily as a result of an increase in average outstanding borrowings, partially offset by a lower effective interest rate in 2015, in each case as compared to the same period in 2014.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased to $87.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 as compared to $76.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and are a composite of the income taxes attributable to our wholly owned operations and income taxes attributable to the Carrier joint ventures, which are primarily taxed as partnerships for income tax purposes. The effective income tax rates attributable to us were 36.9% and 36.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase was primarily due to higher state income taxes in 2015 versus 2014 related to income generated by our U.S. subsidiaries.

Net Income Attributable to Watsco, Inc.

Net income attributable to Watsco for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $19.1 million, or 15%, as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenues, expanded profit margins and reduced selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues, as discussed above, and by a reduction in the net income attributable to the non-controlling interest related to Carrier Enterprise I following our purchase of an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise I in July 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to execute our business strategy and fund operating and investing activities, taking into consideration the seasonal demand for HVAC/R products, which peaks in the months of May through August. Significant factors that could affect our liquidity include the following:

•

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

•

borrowing capacity under our bank line of credit;

•

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

•

acquisitions, including joint ventures;

•

dividend payments;

•

capital expenditures; and

•

the timing and extent of common stock repurchases.

Sources and Uses of Cash

We rely on cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreement to fund seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including dividend payments, if and as declared by our Board of Directors, capital expenditures, business acquisitions and development of our long-term operating strategies.

As of September 30, 2015, we had $28.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which, $18.6 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. We believe that our operating cash flows, cash on hand and funds available for borrowing under our line of credit will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that our current sources of available funds will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements.

Our access to funds under our line of credit depends on the ability of the syndicate banks to meet their respective funding commitments. Disruptions in the credit and capital markets could adversely affect our ability to draw on our line of credit and may also adversely affect the determination of interest rates, particularly rates based on LIBOR, which is one of the base rates under our line of credit. Disruptions in the credit and capital markets could also result in increased borrowing costs and/or reduced borrowing capacity under our line of credit.

Working Capital

Working capital increased to $983.5 million at September 30, 2015 from $870.3 million at December 31, 2014, reflecting higher levels of accounts receivable and inventories, primarily due to the seasonality of our business.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (in millions):


	2015		2014		Change
Cash flows provided by operating activities	$	99.8	$	41.7	$	58.1
Cash flows used in investing activities	$	(19.9)	$	(8.9)	$	(11.0)
Cash flows used in financing activities	$	(75.0)	$	(35.4)	$	(39.6)

The individual items contributing to cash flow changes for the periods presented are detailed in the condensed consolidated unaudited statements of cash flows contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Operating Activities

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a lower increase in accounts receivable and inventory and higher net income in 2015 as compared to 2014, partially offset by the timing of payments for accrued expenses.

Investing Activities

The increase in net cash used in investing activities was due to higher capital expenditures in 2015.

Financing Activities

The increase in net cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to lower net borrowings under our revolving credit agreement and an increase in dividends paid in 2015 as compared to 2014, partially offset by the exercise of our second option to acquire an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise I for $87.7 million in 2014 and a decrease in distributions to the non-controlling interest in 2015.

Revolving Credit Agreement

We maintain an unsecured, syndicated revolving credit agreement that provides for borrowings of up to $600.0 million. Borrowings are used to fund seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, dividends (if and as declared by our Board of Directors), stock repurchases and issuances of letters of credit. The credit agreement matures on July 1, 2019. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $304.9 million and $303.2 million, respectively, were outstanding under the revolving credit agreement. The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants with respect to consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios, and other customary restrictions. We believe we were in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2015.

Short-Term Debt

At September 30, 2015, $2.4 million of short-term borrowings were outstanding under a credit line established by our Mexican subsidiary. This line of credit has a one-year term maturing on June 15, 2016, is non-committed and provides for borrowings of up to approximately $8.8 million (MXN $150.0 million) for general corporate purposes. No short-term borrowings were outstanding under this credit line at December 31, 2014.

Purchase of Ownership Interest in Joint Venture

On July 1, 2014, we exercised our second option to acquire an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise I for cash consideration of $87.7 million, following which we have an 80% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise I. Neither we nor Carrier has any remaining options to purchase additional ownership interests in Carrier Enterprise I, or any of our other joint ventures with Carrier.

Acquisitions

We continually evaluate potential acquisitions and/or joint ventures and routinely hold discussions with a number of acquisition candidates. Should suitable acquisition opportunities arise that would require additional financing, we believe our financial position and earnings history provide a sufficient basis for us to either obtain additional debt financing at competitive rates and on reasonable terms or raise capital through the issuance of equity securities.

Common Stock Dividends

We paid cash dividends of $2.10 per share and $1.40 per share of Common stock and Class B common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. On October 1, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.70 per share of Common and Class B common stock that was paid on October 30, 2015 to shareholders of record as of

October 15, 2015. On October 23, 2015, our Board of Directors approved an increase to the quarterly cash dividend rate to $0.85 per share from $0.70 per share of Common and Class B common stock beginning with the dividend that will be paid in January 2016.

In September 1999, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, at management’s discretion, of up to 7,500,000 shares of common stock in the open market or via private transactions. Shares repurchased under the program are accounted for using the cost method and result in a reduction of shareholders’ equity. No shares were repurchased during the quarters ended September 30, 2015 or 2014. In aggregate, 6,370,913 shares of Common and Class B common stock have been repurchased at a cost of $114.4 million since the inception of the program.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”) that are, among other things, designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Senior Vice President (“SVP”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure and appropriate SEC filings.

Our management, with the participation of our CEO, SVP and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, and, based on that evaluation, our CEO, SVP and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at a reasonable assurance level, at and as of such date.

However, there were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
