(the "Registrant" or the "Company") was incorporated in 1956 and is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies ("HVAC") in the United States. The Company's revenue has increased from $80 million in 1989 to over $1.3 billion in 2000. The Company's distribution network operates from 300 locations in 30 states. The Company also owns Dunhill Staffing Systems, Inc. ("Dunhill"), a national temporary staffing and permanent employment services business, which represents 5% of the Company's total revenue. The Company's principal executive offices are located at 2665 South Bayshore Drive, Suite 901, Coconut Grove, Florida 33133, and its telephone number is (305) 714-4100. The Company's corporate website is www.watsco.com, and e-mail may be sent to the Company at mweber@watsco.com. Residential Central Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Industry According to the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute ("ARI"), the market for residential central air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies in the U.S. is approximately $20 billion with unitary equipment shipments having grown at an annual rate of 6% since 1990. Residential central air conditioners are manufactured primarily by seven major companies that together account for approximately 90% of all units shipped in the U.S. each year. These companies are: Carrier Corporation ("Carrier"), a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation, Goodman Manufacturing Corporation, Rheem Manufacturing Company ("Rheem"), American Standard Companies Inc. ("American Standard"), York International Corporation ("York"), Lennox International, Inc. and Nordyne Corporation ("Nordyne"), a subsidiary of Nortek Corporation. These manufacturers distribute their products through a combination of factory-owned and independent distributors who, in turn, supply the equipment and related parts and supplies to contractors and dealers nationwide that sell to and install the products for the consumer. Residential central air conditioning and heating equipment is sold to both the replacement and the homebuilding (including manufactured housing) markets. The replacement market has increased substantially in size and importance over the past ten years as a result of the aging of the installed base of residential central air conditioners, the introduction of new energy efficient models and the upgrading of existing homes to central air conditioning. According to industry data, over 120 million central air conditioning units and warm air gas furnaces have been installed in the United States in the past 20 years. Many units installed from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s have reached the end of their useful lives, thus providing a growing and substantial replacement market. The mechanical life of this equipment varies by region due to usage and is estimated to range from 8 to 20 years. The Company also sells products to the refrigeration market. Such products include condensing units, compressors, evaporators, valves, walk-in coolers and ice machines for industrial and commercial applications. The Company distributes products manufactured by Copeland Compressor Corporation, a subsidiary of Emerson Electric Co., Tecumseh Products Company, and The Manitowoc Company, Inc. 3
Business Strategy The Company's business strategy includes five primary concepts: (i) implement programs to build market share in existing markets, (ii) complete strategic acquisitions to expand in existing markets or to extend the Company's geographic reach into new markets, (iii) leverage the Company's existing infrastructure by obtaining new or expanded territories from the grant of distribution rights by manufacturers, (iv) over a long-term horizon, implement an e-commerce strategy to improve the level and efficiency of service to existing customers and (v) implement initiatives to streamline operations and reduce the cost structures of acquired businesses. STRATEGY IN EXISTING MARKETS The Company's strategy for growth in existing markets focuses on satisfying the needs of the higher growth, higher margin replacement market, where customers generally demand immediate, convenient and reliable service. In response to this need, the Company's focus is to (i) offer expansive product lines, including all equipment, parts and supplies necessary to install or repair a central air conditioner, furnace or refrigeration system, (ii) maintain multiple warehouse locations in a single metropolitan market for increased customer convenience, (iii) maintain well-stocked inventories to ensure that customer orders are filled in a timely manner, (iv) provide a high degree of technical expertise at the point of sale and (v) develop e-commerce initiatives to further enhance customer service capabilities. The Company believes these concepts provide a competitive advantage over smaller, lesser-capitalized competitors who are unable to commit resources to open additional locations, develop e-commerce business solutions, provide the same variety of products as the Company, maintain the same inventory levels or attract the wide range of expertise that is required to support a diverse product offering. The Company also believes it has a competitive advantage over factory-owned distributors who typically do not maintain extensive inventories of parts and supplies and whose limited number of warehouse locations make it difficult to meet the time-sensitive demands of the replacement market. The Company also sells to the homebuilding and manufactured housing markets. The Company believes that its reputation for reliable, high quality service and its relationships with contractors, who generally serve both the replacement and new construction markets, allow it to compete effectively in these markets. ACQUISITION STRATEGY The Company's acquisition strategy is focused on acquiring businesses that complement the Company's presence in existing markets or establish a presence in new markets. Since 1989, the Company has acquired 42 distributors of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration products, 13 of which operate as primary operating subsidiaries of the Company. The other smaller distributors acquired have been integrated into the Company's primary operating subsidiaries. DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS The Company actively seeks new or expanded territories of distribution from the major equipment manufacturers. During 2000 and 1999, five of the leading equipment manufacturers granted the Company rights to distribute their residential and light commercial equipment in key U.S. markets. OPERATING PHILOSOPHY The Company's operating subsidiaries operate in a manner that recognizes the long-term relationships established between the distributors and their customers. The Company preserves the identity of acquired businesses by retaining their management and sales organizations, maintaining the product brand name offerings previously distributed by them and 4
selectively expanding complementary product offerings. The Company believes this strategy builds on the value of the acquired operations by creating additional sales opportunities. The Company maintains a highly specialized functional support staff at its corporate headquarters to support the individual operating subsidiaries' strategies for growth in their representative markets. Such functional support includes specialists in finance, information technology, accounting, human resources, product procurement, treasury and working capital management, tax planning and risk management. The Company targets certain general and administrative expenses for cost savings initiatives that leverage the Company's overall volume and improve operating efficiencies. In line with this operating philosophy, the Company's subsidiaries initiated restructuring initiatives during 2000 to streamline operations by eliminating certain underperforming locations, reducing market overlap, disposing of inventory related to discontinued product lines and eliminating other nonproductive SKUs. As such, the Company closed 25 branches in 2000 and will close 7 additional branches in 2001. For additional information see Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on January 22, 2001. SUMMARY The following table summarizes the number of distribution locations and states represented at December 31 for each of the last ten years and the Company's consolidated revenue for each year: States Locations Represented Revenue ---------- ----------- ------- ($'s in millions) 1991 31 5 $ 157 1992 32 5 172 1993 47 6 209 1994 50 7 260 1995 69 10 308 1996 101 15 400 1997 268 22 680 1998 308 23 1,062 1999 315 30 1,246 2000 300 30 1,307 INTERNET E-COMMERCE STRATEGY The Company began implementation of its e-commerce strategy in late 1999 which includes the following initiatives: (i) enabling connectivity by customers to the Company's operating subsidiaries operating software and (ii) a web site, ACDoctor.com, which provides homeowners, businesses and HVAC contractors useful information and a variety of services. The first initiative, being implemented by the Company's subsidiaries, allows customers to access the Company's systems on-line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to search for desired products, verify inventory availability, obtain pricing, place orders, check order status, schedule pickup or delivery times and make payments. The second initiative, ACDoctor.com, provides homeowners, businesses and HVAC contractors useful information in areas that broaden the consumer's product knowledge. The site highlights new products and allows homeowners and businesses to locate, select and hire a licensed contractor. ACDoctor.com provides a wide variety of B2B value-added services to contractor customers in an exclusive "members-only" area. The primary functionality of the site provides members with leads from consumers seeking service for their air conditioning and heating systems. As part of their membership subscription, contractors also get their own customized website, which is linked to consumer inquiries for contractor services. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Distribution Operations PRODUCTS The Company sells an expansive line of products and maintains sufficient inventory levels to meet its customers' immediate needs. The Company seeks to provide every product a contractor would generally require when installing or repairing a central air conditioner, furnace or refrigeration system. The products distributed by the Company in its markets consist of: (i) equipment, including residential central air conditioners ranging from 1-1/2 to 5 tons*, light commercial air conditioners ranging up to 20 tons, gas, electric and oil furnaces ranging from 50,000 to 150,000 BTUs, commercial air conditioning and heating equipment and systems ranging from 20 to 400 tons, and other specialized equipment; (ii) parts, including replacement compressors, evaporator coils, thermostats, motors and other component parts; and (iii) supplies, including insulation material, refrigerants, ductwork, grills, registers, sheet metal, tools, copper tubing, concrete pads, tape, adhesives and other ancillary supplies. Sales of air conditioning and heating equipment accounted for approximately 49% of revenue for 2000. Sales of parts and supplies (currently representing over 1,500 different vendors) comprised the remaining revenue. DISTRIBUTION AND SALES The Company currently operates from 300 locations, most of which are located in regions that the Company believes have favorable demographic trends. The Company maintains well-stocked inventories at each warehouse location to meet the immediate needs of its customers. This is accomplished by transporting inventory between locations daily and either directly delivering products to customers with the Company's fleet of 816 trucks or making the products available for pick-up at the location nearest to the customer. The Company has over 400 commissioned salespeople with an average of more than 10 years of experience in the air conditioning, heating and refrigeration distribution industry. - ------------------ * The cooling capacity of air conditioning units is measured in tons. One ton of cooling capacity is equivalent to 12,000 BTUs and is generally adequate to air condition approximately 500 square feet of residential space. 5
MARKETS The Company's network serves 30 states and Puerto Rico from 300 locations. The Company's primary markets include (in order of the number of locations in the state): Florida, Texas, Georgia, California, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Arizona, Missouri and Massachusetts. The Company also serves Nevada, Kansas, Arkansas, Nebraska, Mississippi, Virginia, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Kentucky, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Vermont, Rhode Island and New York. The Company also distributes products on an export basis to portions of Latin America and the Caribbean Basin. CUSTOMERS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE The Company sells to contractors and dealers who service the new construction and replacement markets for residential and light commercial central air conditioning, heating and refrigeration systems. The Company currently serves over 35,000 customers, with no single customer in 2000 accounting for more than 1% of consolidated revenue. The Company focuses on providing products where and when the customer needs them, technical support by phone or on site as required and quick and efficient service at the locations. The Company also provides increased customer convenience through e-commerce, which allows customers to access the Company's systems on-line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to search for desired products, verify inventory availability, obtain pricing, place orders, check order status, schedule pickup or delivery times and make payments. Management believes that the Company successfully competes with other distributors primarily on the basis of its experienced sales organization, strong service support, high quality reputation and broad product lines. KEY EQUIPMENT SUPPLIERS The Company maintains significant relationships with Carrier, Rheem, American Standard, York and Nordyne, each a leading manufacturer of residential central air conditioning and heating equipment in the United States. Each manufacturer has a well-established reputation of producing high-quality, competitively priced products. The Company believes the manufacturers' current product offerings, quality, serviceability and brand-name recognition allow the Company to operate favorably against its competitors. To maintain brand-name recognition, the manufacturers provide national advertising and participate with the Company in cooperative advertising programs and promotional incentives that are targeted to both contractors and homeowners. The Company estimates the replacement market currently accounts for approximately two-thirds of industry sales in the United States and expects this percentage to increase as units installed in the 1970s and 1980s wear out and get replaced or updated to more energy-efficient models. The Company made approximately 46% of its total 2000 purchases from five key equipment suppliers. A significant interruption in the delivery of these products would impair the Company's ability to continue to maintain its current inventory levels and could adversely affect the Company's business. The Company's future results of operations are also materially dependent upon the continued market acceptance of these manufacturers' products and their ability to continue to manufacture products that comply with laws relating to environmental and efficiency standards. However, the Company believes that its sales of other complementary equipment products and continued emphasis to expand the sale of parts and supplies are mitigating factors against such risks. DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS The Company has distribution agreements with each of its key equipment suppliers, either on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, for terms generally ranging from one to ten years. Certain of the distribution agreements contain certain provisions that restrict or limit the sale of competitive products in the markets served. Other than the markets where such restrictions and limitations may apply, the Company may distribute other manufacturers' lines of air conditioning or heating equipment. Staffing Service Business Dunhill, founded in 1952, is one of the nation's best-known staffing service networks. Through franchised, licensed and company-owned offices in 27 states and Canada, Dunhill provides permanent placement and temporary staffing services to businesses (including the Company's operating subsidiaries), professional and service organizations, government agencies, health care providers and other employers. Dunhill's operations primarily consist of 25 company-owned and 13 licensed temporary staffing offices, as well as 80 franchised permanent placement offices and 7 franchised temporary staffing offices. Dunhill's franchisees operate their businesses autonomously within the framework of Dunhill's policies and standards and recruit, employ and pay their own employees, including temporary employees. Dunhill's permanent placement division recruits primarily middle-management, sales, technical and administrative and support personnel for permanent employment in a wide variety of industries and positions. 6
Employees The Company employed over 2,900 persons as of December 31, 2000. The Company believes that its relations with these employees are good. Order Backlog Order backlog is not a material aspect of the Company's business and no material portion of the Company's business is subject to government contracts. Government Regulations and Environmental Matters The Company's operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of materials into the environment. These include laws and regulations implementing the Clean Air Act, relating to minimum energy efficiency standards of HVAC systems and the production, servicing and disposal of certain ozone-depleting refrigerants used in such systems, including those established at the Montreal Protocol in 1992 concerning the phase-out of CFC-based refrigerants. Management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with all applicable federal, state and local provisions relating to the protection of the environment. The Company is also subject to regulations concerning the transport of hazardous materials, including regulations adopted pursuant to the Motor Carrier Safety Act of 1990. BUSINESS RISK FACTORS SUPPLIER CONCENTRATION The Company has distribution agreements with five key equipment suppliers, either on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, for terms generally ranging from one to ten years. Certain of the distribution agreements contain certain provisions that restrict or limit the sale of competitive products in the markets served. Other than the markets where such restrictions and limitations may apply, the Company may distribute other manufacturers' lines of air conditioning or heating equipment. Purchases from these five suppliers comprised 46% of all purchases made in 2000. The Company's largest supplier accounted for 16% of all purchases made in 2000. Any significant interruption by the manufacturers or a termination of a distribution agreement could temporarily disrupt the operations of certain subsidiaries. The Company's future results of operations are also materially dependent upon the continued market acceptance of these manufacturers' products and their ability to continue to manufacture products that comply with laws relating to environmental and efficiency standards. The Company believes that its sales of other complementary equipment products and continued emphasis to expand sales of parts and supplies are mitigating factors against such risks. COMPETITION All of the Company's businesses operate in highly competitive environments. The Company's distribution business competes with a number of distributors and also with several air conditioning and heating equipment manufacturers that distribute a significant portion of their products through their own distribution organizations in certain markets. Competition within any given geographic market is based upon product availability, customer service, price and quality. Competitive pressures or other factors could cause the Company's products or services to lose market acceptance or result in significant price erosion, all of which would have a material adverse effect on the Company's profitability. SEASONALITY Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment and parts and supplies distributed by the Company have historically been seasonal. Furthermore, the Company's results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on the severity or mildness of weather patterns during summer or winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is highest in the second and third quarters with demand for heating equipment usually highest in the fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction sectors throughout most of the Sunbelt markets is fairly even during the year except for dependence on housing completions and related weather and economic conditions. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company operates 300 locations in the U.S. having approximately 5.4 million square feet of space, of which approximately 5.0 million square feet is leased. The Company also leases approximately .5 million square feet of space for additional storage and offices. The Company believes that its facilities are well maintained and adequate to meet its needs. 7
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in litigation incidental to the operation of the Company's business. The Company vigorously defends all matters in which the Company or its subsidiaries are named defendants and, for insurable losses, maintains significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments that may affect the Company. In the opinion of the Company, although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage or the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the ultimate liability associated with any claims or litigation in which the Company or its subsidiaries are involved will not materially affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations. In September 1999, a lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court for the First Judicial District of Jasper County, Mississippi against the Company and a group of companies now operating as a subsidiary of the Company, Kaufman Supply, Inc. ("Kaufman"), and an employee of Kaufman. The lawsuit pertained to a vehicle accident involving a Kaufman vehicle and three individuals who sustained injuries resulting from the accident. In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs alleged that Kaufman and its employee were liable for damages resulting from their injuries and further alleged that Kaufman and its employee were grossly negligent in the operation of the vehicle. Although vigorously defended, the suit was settled at a settlement conference held by the Circuit Court of Jasper County, Mississippi in November 2000. The settlement was funded entirely by the Company's insurance carriers with no financial consequence to the Company or Kaufman. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of the Company's security holders during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2000.
