Risk Change Over Time
- Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 1The spin-off of ADI Global Distribution business will impact Resideo's financial results and leverage.
For the six months ended July 4, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025 the ADI business contributed 64% of Resideo's consolidated revenue. For the six months ended July 4, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025 ADI contributed 27% and 28% of Resideo's consolidated Income from operations, respectively. Following the completion of the ADI Spin-Off on August 3, 2026, Resideo is a smaller, less diversified company that no longer benefits from the scale, revenue base, earnings and cash flows of ADI. Additionally, following the ADI Spin-Off, substantially all of Resideo's pre-existing indebtedness remains with Resideo, while ADI's revenue and cash flow contribution have been removed, resulting in a higher leverage profile on a standalone basis for Resideo.
- Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 2In connection with the ADI Spin-Off, Resideo entered into a series of transaction agreements which will, among other things, govern the provision of critical services between ADIG and Resideo.
In connection with the ADI Spin-Off, Resideo and ADIG entered into various transaction agreements that each company will depend on following the ADI Spin-Off, including a separation agreement, transition services agreement, employee matters agreement, tax matters agreement, intellectual property matters agreement, a commercial product purchase agreement and related reorganization documents. Resideo's business could be adversely affected if ADIG or Resideo do not perform these agreements as expected. Copies of these agreements which are deemed material have been filed by Resideo with the SEC, and a summary of the material terms of the agreements can be found in the section entitled "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions-Agreements with Resideo" in ADI's Information Statement, dated July 1, 2026, which was included as Exhibit 99.1 to ADI's Form 10 filed with the SEC on July 1, 2026. For instance, there may be instances where Resideo may rely on ADIG for certain corporate and shared services for a limited period. Even if ADIG does perform under the terms of the transition services agreement, these services may not fully meet Resideo's needs and Resideo's ability to change or reprice them will be limited, and, upon expiration, Resideo may be unable to replace them on comparable terms, which could increase its costs or impair service quality. Resideo is also obligated to provide certain services to ADIG during the transition period, which could divert management attention and resources from Resideo's operations.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 32
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Our stock price has been volatile; stockholder's percentage ownership in our Company may be diluted in the future.
The market price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and may be volatile in the future. The market price of our common stock may be significantly affected by the following factors: actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results; changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to perform in line with such estimates; announcements by us or our competitors of significant technical innovations, acquisitions, divestitures, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, or capital commitments; the potential spin-off of the ADI Global Distribution business; the loss of, or decrease in sales to, one or more key customers; global macroeconomic conditions; and departures of key personnel. A stockholder's percentage ownership in our Company may be diluted in the future because of common stock-based equity awards that we have granted and expect to grant in the future in accordance with our 2018 Stock Incentive Plan for the benefit of certain employees and other service providers, as well as our equity plan for our non-employee directors. In addition, we may issue additional equity as necessary to finance our ongoing operations and future acquisitions. In addition, our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation ("our Certificate") authorizes us to issue, without the approval of our stockholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock, which may have preferences over our common stock with respect to dividends and distributions, as our Board may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of our common stock. Refer to the risk factor "The preferred stock issued in connection with the Snap One transaction has rights, preferences, and privileges that are not held by, and are preferential to, the rights of our common stock and has reduced the relative voting power of the holders of our common stock." Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences that we could assign to holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2The preferred stock issued in connection with the Snap One transaction has rights, preferences, and privileges that are not held by, and are preferential to, the rights of our common stock and has reduced the relative voting power of the holders of our common stock.
In June 2024, we issued 500,000 shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), to CD&R Channel Holdings, L.P. (the "CD&R Stockholder"), an entity affiliated with the investment firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice LLC, pursuant to an Investment Agreement dated April 14, 2024. The proceeds of the issuance were used to partially finance the Snap One transaction. The Preferred Stock is convertible perpetual participating preferred stock of Resideo. Refer to Note 16. Stockholders' Equity of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the material terms of the Preferred Stock, including with respect to conversion rights, voting rights, dividend rights, anti-dilution adjustments and the Company's optional redemption rights. Certain of the preferential rights belonging to the Preferred Stock could result in divergent interests between the holders of the Preferred Stock and our common shareholders. In addition, our obligations to pay regular dividends to the holders of the Preferred Stock (which we may elect to pay in cash or in-kind) or the exercise of any of our optional redemption rights with respect to the outstanding Preferred Stock could, if paid in cash, impact our liquidity and reduce the amount of cash available for working capital, capital expenditures, growth opportunities, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3The CD&R Stockholder holds a significant equity interest in our business and may exercise influence over us, including through its ability to designate up to two directors to our board of directors, and its interests as a preferred equity holder may diverge from, or even conflict with, the interests of our other holders of our common stock.
The CD&R Stockholder beneficially owns shares of our common stock and Preferred Stock, which, taken together on an as-converted basis, represent approximately 19.9% of our total voting power based on CD&R's Schedule 13-D filed November 11, 2025 and total shares outstanding as of December 31, 2025. As a result, the CD&R Stockholder may have the indirect ability to influence our policies and operations. In addition, under the Investment Agreement, the CD&R Stockholder is entitled to appoint up to two directors to our board of directors, subject to specified minimum ownership requirements. Both Nathan K. Sleeper and John Stroup, partners at CD&R, currently serve as directors. With such representation on our board of directors, the CD&R Stockholder has influence over the appointment of management and any action requiring the vote of our board of directors, including significant corporate action such as mergers and sales of substantially all of our assets. Additionally, for so long as the CD&R Stockholder owns Preferred Stock, certain matters will require the approval of the CD&R Stockholder, including: (1) amendments to our certificate of incorporation, the certificate of designations for the Preferred Stock or our bylaws that would alter or change the terms or the powers, preferences, rights, or privileges of the Preferred Stock as to affect them adversely; (2) authorizing, creating, increasing the authorized amount of, or issuing any class or series of equity securities that rank senior to or on party with the Preferred Stock; (3) increasing or decreasing the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock; (4) amending certain debt financing documents to include limitations on our ability to accrue dividends on the Preferred Stock that are more restrictive in any material respect than those set forth in our existing debt financing documents; or (5) adopting any plan of liquidation or filing any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, receivership, or any similar proceeding. The CD&R Stockholder and its affiliates are in the business of making or advising on investments in companies, including businesses that may directly or indirectly compete with certain portions of our business. In addition, the CD&R Stockholder may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings, or other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their overall equity investment and have a negative impact to holders of our common stock as a whole.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4Certain provisions in our governing documents may discourage takeovers.
Several provisions of our governing documents and Delaware law may discourage, delay, or prevent a merger or acquisition. These provisions include: our stockholders are not permitted to act by written consent; advance notice requirements for stockholder nominations and proposals; limitations on the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders and limitations on our ability to enter into business combination transactions. These and other provisions of our governing documents and Delaware law may discourage, delay, or prevent certain types of transactions involving an acquisition or change in control of our Company, including unsolicited takeover attempts, even though the transaction may offer our stockholders the opportunity to sell their shares of our common stock at a price above the prevailing market price.
