NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2005

(In thousands, except share data)

(Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2004, which has been derived from Watsco, Inc. and its subsidiaries’ (collectively, “Watsco”, which may be referred to as we, us or our) audited consolidated financial statements, and the March 31, 2005 unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements herein. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the December 31, 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All amounts, except for per share data, are expressed in thousands of dollars.

 

The results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2005. Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment and parts and supplies distributed by Watsco have historically been seasonal with revenues generally increasing during the months of May through August. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is highest in the second and third quarters.

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include valuation reserves for accounts receivable, inventory and income taxes, reserves for self-insurance programs and valuation of goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

2. Stock-Based Compensation

 

The intrinsic value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, is applied in accounting for stock options under fixed plans. As such, compensation expense would be recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 123,” established preferred accounting and mandatory disclosure requirements using a fair value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, we elected to continue to apply the intrinsic value-based method of accounting described above and have adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148. Had compensation cost for the stock-based compensation plans been determined based on the fair value method at the grant dates for awards under the stock option plans consistent with the method of SFAS No. 123, pro forma net income and earnings per share would be as follows for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:

3. Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

All highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents at December 31, 2004 included $11,500 of municipal securities with put options of 35 days or less, which were considered to be cash equivalents for purposes of the condensed consolidated financial statements. No individual municipal security equaled or exceeded 2% of total assets and such securities were investment grade and collateralized by a letter of credit issued by the remarketing agent. At March 31, 2005, no municipal securities were included in cash and cash equivalents as Watsco held no such securities.

 

4. Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings per share of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding, including any vested restricted shares. Shares included in the basic calculation of earnings per share only include outstanding Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, as there were no vested restricted shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is obtained by dividing net income by the weighted-average outstanding Common and Class B Common shares adjusted for the dilutive effects of outstanding stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock using the treasury stock method. The following summarizes the Common and Class B Common shares used to calculate earnings per share of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock including the potentially dilutive impact of stock options and restricted shares, calculated using the treasury method, as included in the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004:

 

     2005

   2004

Weighted-average Common and Class B Common shares outstanding for basic earnings per share

   25,934,671    25,313,464

Dilutive shares resulting from:

         

Stock options

   1,114,694    1,001,276

Restricted shares of common stock

   504,392    414,364
    
  

Shares for diluted earnings per share

   27,553,757    26,729,104
    
  

 

Diluted earnings per share excluded 7,500 shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, related to stock options with an exercise price per share greater than the average market value, resulting in an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share. In addition, for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, 70,000 and 5,000 shares of restricted stock, respectively, were considered anti-dilutive and excluded from the earnings per share calculation.

 

5. Derivative Financial Instrument

 

Periodically, we have entered into interest rate swap agreements to reduce our exposure to market risks from changing interest rates under our revolving credit agreement. Under the terms of the swap agreements, we agree to

 

7 of 19


Table of Contents

exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest amounts calculated by reference to the notional principal amount. Any differences paid or received on our interest rate swap agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense over the life of each swap, thereby adjusting the effective interest rate on the underlying obligation. Financial instruments are not held or issued for trading purposes. In order to obtain hedge accounting treatment, any derivatives used for hedging purposes must be designated as, and effective as, a hedge of an identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract.

 

At March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2004, one interest rate swap agreement was in effect with a notional value of $30,000 maturing in 2007. The swap agreement exchanges the variable rate of 90-day LIBOR to fixed interest rate payments of 6.25%. The interest rate swap was effective as a cash flow hedge and no charge to earnings was required for hedge ineffectiveness during the quarters ended March 31, 2005 or 2004. The negative fair value of the derivative financial instrument was $1,721 and $2,471 at March 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively, and is included, net of accrued interest, in deferred income taxes and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

At March 31, 2005 and 2004, $908, net of deferred tax benefits of $560 and $2,388 net of deferred tax benefits of $1,402 was recorded in other comprehensive loss (“OCL”) associated with the cash flow hedge. During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, we recognized a decrease in unrealized losses in OCL relating to the cash flow hedge of $435, net of income tax expense of $269. During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, we recognized an increase in unrealized losses in OCL associated with the cash flow hedge of $211, net of income tax benefit of $127.

 

The change in OCL during the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, reflected the reclassification of $172, net of income tax benefit of $106 and $241, net of income tax benefit of $146, respectively, of unrealized losses from accumulated OCL to current period earnings (recorded in interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of income). The net unrealized loss recorded in accumulated OCL will be reclassified to earnings on a quarterly basis as interest payments occur. As of March 31, 2005, approximately $700 in unrealized losses on the derivative instrument accumulated in OCL is expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months using a current three month LIBOR-based average receive rate (3.96% at March 31, 2005).

 

6. Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income consists of net income and changes in the unrealized (losses) gains on available-for-sale securities and the effective portion of a cash flow hedge as further discussed in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The components of comprehensive income for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are as follows:

 

     2005

   2004

 

Net income

   $ 9,148    $ 6,629  

Changes in unrealized gains (losses) on available-for - sale securities arising during the period, net of income tax (expense) benefit of $(1) and $11, respectively
