ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
Watsco, Inc. (the "Registrant" or the "Company") is the largest distributor of residential central air conditioners and supplies in the United States, with leading positions in Florida, Texas and California, the three largest air conditioning markets in the country, as well as significant positions in Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Louisiana, Nevada, North Carolina, Latin America and South America. In 1989, the Company embarked on a strategy of establishing a network of distribution facilities across the sunbelt where U.S. population growth is greatest, weather patterns are predictably hot and air conditioning is seen as a necessity. Since initiating this strategy, the Company's revenues have increased from $25 million in 1988 to $331 million in 1995.
The Company estimates that the market for residential central air conditioners and related supplies in the sunbelt was over $7 billion in 1994 and has grown at an annual rate of 5.6% since 1990. The replacement market has increased substantially in size over the past ten years, surpassing the homebuilding market in significance 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 the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI), over 61 million central air conditioner units have been installed in the United States since 1975. Many of the units installed from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s are reaching the end of their useful lives, thus providing a growing replacement market.
The Company focuses on satisfying the needs of the higher margin replacement market, where customers demand immediate, convenient and reliable service. The Company believes that its size and financial resources allow it to provide superior customer service by offering a complete product line of equipment, parts and supplies, multiple warehouse locations and well-stocked inventories. The Company conducts its distribution business through its subsidiaries: Gemaire Distributors, Inc. ("Gemaire"); Heating & Cooling Supply, Inc. ("Heating & Cooling"); Comfort Supply, Inc. ("Comfort Supply"); and Central Air Conditioning Distributors, Inc. ("Central Air Conditioning") (collectively, the "Distribution Operations"). The primary supplier to the Distribution Operations is Rheem Manufacturing Company ("Rheem"), one of the largest manufacturers of residential central air conditioners in the United States, based on the number of units sold.
The Company also sells to the homebuilding market. 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 this segment of the market. Homebuilding remains below the levels of the mid-1970s to mid-1980s in many of the markets the Company serves.
The Company has acquired eight air conditioning distributors since 1989 when the Company began its acquisition strategy to establish a network of distribution branches across the sunbelt. The following is a description of the Company's acquisitions completed in 1995:
Airite, Inc. - In February 1995, the Company acquired Airite, Inc., a wholesale distributor of residential central air conditioners with branches in Shreveport and Monroe, Louisiana and Texarkana, Texas. Airite sells to nearly 400 licensed air conditioning and heating contractors and the Company believes that Airite had 1995 revenues of approximately $4 million.
H.B. Adams, Inc. - In March 1995, the Company acquired certain assets of H.B. Adams, Inc. (now operating as H.B. Adams Distributors, Inc.). H.B. Adams is a wholesale distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration products and operates seven branches in the Tampa, Florida market area, the second largest market for air conditioning equipment in Florida. H.B. Adams had 1995 revenues of approximately $20 million.
Environmental Equipment & Supplies, Inc. - In May 1995, the Company acquired certain assets of Environmental Equipment & Supplies, Inc., a wholesale distributor of air conditioning and heating equipment which sells to nearly 300 licensed air conditioning and heating contractors. Environmental Equipment operates from branches in Fort Smith and Jonesboro, Arkansas and had 1995 revenues of approximately $6 million.
Central Air Conditioning Distributors, Inc. - In October 1995, the Company acquired certain assets of Central Air Conditioning Distributors, Inc., a wholesale distributor of residential central air conditioners and related products. Central Air Conditioning sells to approximately 1,200 licensed air conditioning and heating contractors from five branches in North Carolina and had 1995 revenues of approximately $21 million.
In addition to distributing air conditioning and heating equipment, the Company also produces over 4,000 electronic and mechanical components for air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment through its manufacturing subsidiaries: Watsco Components, Inc., Rho Sigma, Inc. and Cam-Stat, Inc. (the "Manufacturing Operations"). These components are sold to over 5,000 wholesale distributors and original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs").
The Company also owns Dunhill Personnel System, Inc. ("Dunhill"), a national provider of permanent and temporary personnel services to business, professional and service organizations, government agencies, health care providers and other employers.
The Company's principal executive offices are located at 2665 South Bayshore Drive, Suite 901, Coconut Grove, Florida 33133, and its telephone is (305) 858-0828.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On March 6, 1996, the Company completed a public offering in which it sold 1,570,000 shares of Common Stock resulting in net proceeds of approximately $32.6 million. The Company intends to use approximately $14 million of the proceeds to fund the pending acquisition of Three States Supply Company, Inc. discussed below.
Effective March 19, 1996, the Company and Rheem completed a transaction pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Exchange Agreement") whereby the Company acquired Rheem's minority interests in three of the Company's distribution subsidiaries. See "Relationship with Rheem Manufacturing Company" for further discussion.
The Company has signed a letter of intent for the purchase of the net assets and business of Three States Supply Company, Inc., a Memphis, Tennessee-based distributor of building materials used primarily in the heating and air conditioning industry. The completion of the transaction is subject to certain conditions and is expected to occur during April 1996. The purchase price, estimated at $14 million, is subject to adjustment upon the completion of an audit of the net assets and will be funded from a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Watsco's Common Stock completed on March 6, 1996.
Also see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1995 (the "1995 Annual Report").
INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Climate Control segment consists of the Distribution Operations and the Manufacturing Operations. The Distribution Operations distribute residential central air conditioners and related parts and supplies in Florida, California, Texas, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Louisiana, Nevada, North Carolina and Latin America and South America. The Manufacturing Operations make components and equipment which are sold and distributed to the air conditioning, refrigeration and heating industry (see "Climate Control Segment").
In the Personnel Services segment, Dunhill and its subsidiaries provide temporary help and permanent placement services (see "Personnel Services Segment"). The Company also has certain employees and resources which provide services to each of these segments. Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report, incorporated herein by reference under Item 8, contains a table setting forth the revenues and operating income of the Company's two industry segments during the three years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
DISTRIBUTION OPERATIONS
PRODUCTS The Company markets a complete line of residential central air conditioners (primarily under the Rheem brand name) and related parts and supplies and maintains sufficient inventory to meet customers' immediate needs. The Company's strategy is to provide every product a contractor generally would require in order to install or repair a residential or light commercial central air conditioner. Such products include residential central air conditioners ranging from 1-1/2 to 5 tons*, light commercial air conditioners ranging up to 20 tons, insulation, grills, sheet metal and other ductwork, copper tubing, concrete pads and tape. In addition, the Company also sells products such as electric and gas heating units, air-to-air heat pumps and rooftop equipment. Sales of air conditioning and heating equipment accounted for approximately 63% of the distribution operations' revenues for 1995. Sales of parts and supplies (currently numbering approximately 28,000 different inventory items) comprised the remaining portions of revenues. In 1995, purchases of Rheem products represented approximately 58% of the aggregate purchases of the distribution operations. Any significant interruption in the delivery of Rheem's products would inhibit 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 Rheem's products and the ability of Rheem to continue to manufacture products that comply with laws relating to environmental and efficiency standards.
* 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.
DISTRIBUTION AND SALES The Company operates from 70 branch warehouses located in regions of the sunbelt which the Company believes have favorable demographic trends. The Company maintains well-stocked inventories at each warehouse location to meet the immediate need of its customers. This is accomplished by transporting inventory between warehouses daily and either directly delivering products to customers with the Company's fleet of 137 trucks or making the products available for pick-up at the branch nearest to the customer. The company has 111 commissioned salespeople who average 16 years of experience in the residential central air conditioning distribution industry.
MARKETS The Company has been granted exclusive rights under distribution agreements for Rheem brand-name products in each of the most significant market areas and many of the major metropolitan areas in the United States sunbelt including: Florida; the eastern half of Texas (including the Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin metropolitan areas), southern and central California; Arizona; Nevada; western North Carolina (including the Charlotte metropolitan area) and additional territories in Louisiana; Alabama and Arkansas. The Company also has distribution rights for the Rheem brand name or Weatherking brand name (manufactured by Rheem) in substantially all of Central America, South America and the Caribbean.
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 conditioners. In 1995, the Company served over 13,600 customers, with no single customer accounting for more than 2% of consolidated revenues. 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 distribution branches. Management believes that the Company successfully competes with other distributors in the residential and light commercial central air conditioning market primarily on the basis of its experienced sales organization, strong service support, high quality reputation and broad product lines.
RELATIONSHIP WITH RHEEM MANUFACTURING COMPANY The Company is Rheem's largest distributor and believes that it maintains a unique and mutually beneficial relationship with Rheem, one of the largest manufacturers of residential central air conditioning equipment in the United States. Rheem has a well-established reputation of producing high-quality, competitively priced products. The Company believes that Rheem's current product offerings, quality, serviceability and brand-name recognition allow the Company to operate favorably against its competitors. To maintain brand-name recognition, Rheem provides national advertising and participates 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 65% 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 believes Rheem's products have wide acceptance in the replacement market based on their high efficiency and low noise level -- two key homeowner considerations. Additionally, Rheem has demonstrated the flexibility to manufacture products to international specifications to meet export demands.
Rheem acquired minority ownership interests in Gemaire (20%), Comfort Supply (20%) and Heating & Cooling (50%) as a joint venture partner with the Company in the acquisition of each of these subsidiaries. In March 1996, the Company and Rheem restructured their relationship upon completing a transaction pursuant to a Stock Exchange Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Exchange Agreement") whereby the Company acquired Rheem's minority ownership interests of these three subsidiaries in exchange for 964,361 shares of the Company's unregistered Common Stock. Following completion of this transaction, Gemaire, Comfort Supply and Heating & Cooling became wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. Also, Rheem's Chief Executive Officer will become a member of the Company's Board of Directors.
The Exchange Agreement modified certain other agreements with respect to each of the distribution subsidiaries on terms that are favorable to the Company. Previous agreements between the Company and Rheem provided Rheem with the right to "call" from the Company and the Company with the right to "put" to Rheem the Company's ownership interests in Gemaire, Comfort Supply and Heating & Cooling during specified periods according to prescribed valuation formulas. Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the put/call provisions are effectively eliminated because the rights to "put" or "call" become exercisable primarily upon the occurrence of certain insolvency events.
The Company also has distribution agreements with Rheem. The distribution agreements of Gemaire, Comfort Supply and Heating & Cooling extend through 2006 with annual renewals thereafter. These distribution agreements contain provisions limiting the sale of products that are directly competitive with Rheem products. Based on the acceptance of other complimentary, non-competitive equipment products and the Company's additional focus on the sale of parts and supplies, the Company does not believe that such limitations have a material effect on its operations. Except for the limitations set forth in the distribution agreements of Gemaire, Comfort Supply and Heating & Cooling, the Company may distribute other manufacturers' lines of air conditioning equipment.
MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS
The Company's manufacturing operations are highly self-sufficient and include facilities for die-casting, stamping, screw machining, secondary metal working operations and a fully equipped tool room. The Company has not encountered significant problems in obtaining manufacturing materials, consisting primarily of metals and other raw materials, which are readily available from many suppliers.
PRODUCTS The Company produces over 4,000 electronic and mechanical components for air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment. Products include: components, such as line tap and specialty valves, motor compressor protectors, liquid sight glasses and warm air controls; and equipment, such as vacuum pumps and refrigerant recovery systems. Many of the Company's products are patented and compete in the market place based on uniqueness as well as quality and price.
CUSTOMERS The Company's OEM customers include most of the major residential air conditioning manufacturers such as Rheem, Carrier Air Conditioning, Inc., Inter-City Products Corporation and York International (through its Evcon subsidiary). Another significant OEM customer, RV Products, Inc., is the nation's largest manufacturer of air conditioning for recreational vehicles. The Company also sells to wholesale distributors who distribute the Company's products to the aftermarket. In 1995, the Company served over 5,000 domestic and international customers, with no single customer accounting for more than 1% of consolidated revenues.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The Company conducts research and development to improve the quality and performance of its manufactured products and to develop new products and product line improvements. The Company performs research and development both in-house and by extensive field testing of products. The Company's engineering staff, consisting of 11 employees, develops new customized products to end-user specification and continuously improves, supplements and enhances product lines with newly developed products.
PERSONNEL SERVICES SEGMENT
Dunhill, founded in 1952, is one of the nation's best known personnel service networks. Through franchised, licensed, and company-owned offices in 38 states, Puerto Rico and Canada, Dunhill provides permanent placement and temporary help services to businesses, professional and service organizations, government agencies, health care providers, and other employers. Dunhill's operations consist of 114 franchised permanent placement offices and 19 franchised, 5 licensed and 14 company-owned temporary personnel service offices. Dunhill's franchisees operate their businesses autonomously within the framework of the Company'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, administrative and support personnel for permanent employment in a wide variety of industries and positions. The fees paid by employers to Dunhill for its permanent placement services are typically contingent upon the successful placement of an employee and are generally a percentage of the annual compensation to be paid to the new employee.
Dunhill receives an initial fee from all licensees and franchisees, and on-going revenues in the form of royalty fees and commissions from temporary help licensees and franchisees and permanent placement operations. Licenses and franchises are generally granted for 5 and 10 year terms, respectively, and are typically renewable at the option of the licensee or franchisee for additional terms of 5 and 10 years, respectively.
OTHER INFORMATION
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 air conditioner manufacturers who distribute a significant portion of their products through factory-owned distribution organizations. Many of the manufacturers which have distribution organizations are larger than the Company and have substantial financial resources. Competition within any given geographic market is based upon product availability, customer service, price and quality. The Company's manufacturing business has several major competitors, a few of which are larger and have substantial financial resources. Dunhill competes with numerous other large and small national, regional, and local personnel service providers. 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.
EMPLOYEES
The Climate Control segment employed 929 persons and the Personnel Services segment employed 91 persons as of March 21, 1996. The Company believes that its relations with these employees are good.
SEASONALITY
Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment and parts and supplies manufactured and distributed by the Company have historically been seasonal. Demand related to the residential replacement market generally peaks in the third quarter for air conditioners (the Company's principal distribution product) and in the fourth quarter for heating equipment. Demand related to the new construction market varies according to the season, with increased demand generally from March through October.
OTHER
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.
