Ladies and gentlemen, at this time, I'd like to welcome everyone to the Residual Second Quarter 2021 Earnings. Today's call is being recorded. All participants will be in a listen-only mode until the formal question and answer portion of the call. It is now my pleasure to introduce Mr. Jason Willey, Vice President of Investor Relations. Mr. Willey, you may now begin.
speaker
Jason Willey
Good afternoon, everyone, and thank you for joining us for Residio's second quarter 2021 earnings call. On today's call will be Jay Geldmacher, Residio's chief executive officer, and Tony Trumzo, our chief financial officer. A copy of our earnings release and related presentation materials are available on the investor relations page of our website at investors.residio.com. We would like to remind you that this afternoon's presentation contains forward-looking statements. Statements other than historical facts made during this call may constitute forward-looking statements and are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those described from time to time in Residio's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. We identify the principal risks and uncertainties that affect our performance in our annual report on Form 10-K and other SEC filings. With that, I will now turn the call over to Jay. Thank you, Jason, and good afternoon, everyone. Our Q2 performance reflects positive market trends, the strong position we've built with our customers, and solid execution across the organization. We grew revenue 44% year over year as both products and solutions and ADI continue to benefit from positive residential spending trends, with ADI also seeing a healthier commercial backdrop. Significant improvements in operational execution has allowed us to successfully manage the difficult and dynamic supply chain and logistics environment. Profitability expanded meaningfully year over year in Q2, Both segments leverage higher revenue and continued focus on cost management to deliver improvement in gross margin and operating margin. We continue to make progress with our value and cost engineering programs within products and solutions. Additionally, our investments in technology to improve customer support, sales force effectiveness, and digital tools are showing benefits within both ADI and products and solutions. We continue to manage through significant logistics and supply chain challenges, and these dynamics are creating some headwinds to financial results. While we believe the team continues to do an excellent job delivering for our customers in this environment, our backlog grew in the second quarter and remains at elevated levels. The entire supply chain team, along with senior leadership, including myself, are actively engaged with our suppliers and focused on continuing to ensure that we are able to procure more than our fair share of critical components. Our freight costs are also running well ahead of 2020 levels as the tight supply chain situation and unpredictable ocean freight conditions are necessitating more expediting in air freight. We currently expect challenging component supply and freight dynamics through at least the end of 2021. During the quarter, we continued our strategic work and business transformation efforts. As part of this, we unveiled Resideo's overarching vision and purpose to our employees. This work is grounded in a desire to clearly lay out and articulate what Resideo is, what we stand for, and what we aspire toward. Our vision and purpose will represent and inform our strategies across Resideo. This begins with our vision. We imagine a world where homes and buildings are good for the planet, where technology works to simplify everyday life. In that world, people are healthy, happy, and secure. To help create this future, we work every day to simplify the connected world so people have peace of mind and can focus on what matters most. This is our purpose. Our new vision and purpose will help us align the Resideo culture around common beliefs and aspirations and serve as a galvanizing force in pursuit of our long and short-term objectives. As a follow-on to this work, we will surely be rolling out new core values to the Resideo team. From a business and organizational standpoint, we continue to focus on tightening our collaboration and breaking down silos within products and solutions. During the quarter, we aligned product management into two groups, integrated home and building solutions and OEM and partner solutions. This change better positions us to focus on the needs of our varied customers and allocate resources, particularly software development, to common initiatives across product categories. By improving internal collaboration and thinking more holistically across the home when roadmapping and developing solutions, we expect a new integrated home and building solution structure that better position us for long-term connected home opportunity. During the quarter, we also finalized our decision to relocate our corporate headquarters from Austin, Texas to Scottsdale, Arizona. This move will allow us to consolidate our real estate square footage and better positions us for engagement with key customers and suppliers. The headquarters move and resizing our footprint in Austin are expected to generate ongoing annual savings of approximately $2 million. During Q2, products and solutions saw strong demand across markets, geographies, and trade and OEM channels. This is a continuation of the positive trends we have seen since the middle of 2020, as investments in home and security solutions remain priorities for many individuals. Our execution within products and solutions on new product introduction continues to gain momentum. This includes the release of the latest version of our Pro Series security platform in North America. This release brings improvements, including increased wireless communication range and enhanced panel support for video from cameras and doorbells. We are committed to further enhancements of our security offering, including the rollout of Pro Series to our EMEA customers. At ADI, Q2 performance further demonstrates our leadership in the market. We saw strong year-over-year growth across all major product categories, serving both commercial and residential customers. ADI is performing well in meeting customer demand by focusing on having the products their customers need when and where they need them. ADI's focus on product availability has enabled the business to grab additional sales and deliver strong support to existing and new customers. This is evident in the growth rates ADI has consistently delivered when compared to competitors and the overall industry. ADI is making good progress with the integration of our recent North Polk and Shore View acquisitions. We are already seeing great collaboration and opportunity between the acquired organizations and ADI. We expect the integration of both Northfolk and Shoreview to be completed by year-end. With that, I will turn the call over to Tony to discuss our second quarter performance and 2021 outlook in more detail.
speaker
Jay Geldmacher
Thank you, Jay, and good afternoon, everyone. In the second quarter, we again delivered strong growth in revenue and profitability across Resideo. Consolidated Q2 revenue was $1.5 billion, an increase of 44% compared to Q2 last year, which was negatively impacted by the emergence of COVID-19. Q2 gross margin of 25.8% was up 290 basis points from Q2 2020. Consolidated operating expenses were $260 million in the quarter, up just 7% from last year, despite sharply higher revenue and a $16 million expense related to the pending shareholder litigation settlement we announced on Tuesday. Operating expenses were 18% of total revenue, compared with 24% in Q2 2020. Operating profit for the second quarter was $121 million, or 8.2% of sales, compared to a loss of $6 million last year. Products and solutions second quarter revenue of $598 million was up 50% due to continued strong demand across our major product categories, geographies, and channels. Products and solutions gross profit margin in Q2 was 38.6%, up from 33.9% in the second quarter of 2020. P&S operating profit was $129 million, or 21.6% of sales, compared with $42 million, or 10.6% of sales last year. The improved margin performance was primarily due to fixed cost leverage and productivity improvements net of the negative impact of recent materials price inflation of approximately $8 million, as well as $20 million of higher freight costs year-over-year. Gross profit also benefited from a $7 million reversal of an inventory reserve. Operating expense was up 10% year-over-year due to higher sales commissions and incentive compensation, as well as incremental investment initiatives. ADI Q2 revenue of $879 million increased 39% year-over-year. Demand was strong across commercial and residential markets, with over 30% growth in each of ADI's six largest product categories. ADI's investments in e-commerce and digital selling tools continued to show results, with e-commerce sales up over 65% year over year and accounting for 14% of ADI total sales. ADI's two recent acquisitions contributed $15 million in Q2 revenue. ADI gross profit margin in the second quarter was 17.3%, up from 16% last year. A higher gross margin was a result of better mix, including a higher proportion of private brand sales, improved product line margin resulting from our NVP pricing initiative, and more favorable supplier rebates due to higher volumes. ADI operating profit was $66 million, or 7.5% of sales, up 113% from $31 million, or 4.9% of sales, in Q2 last year. ADI operating profit benefited from higher revenue, partially offset by increased investment activity of approximately $4 million, largely around digital tools and Salesforce effectiveness initiatives. The recent acquisitions were not material to operating profit. Corporate costs for the quarter were $74 million, or 5% of sales, compared with $79 million, or 7.7% of sales in the second quarter of 2020. This reflects a reduction in spend and transformation-related costs of approximately $25 million, as well as the litigation settlement expense this year. The pending settlement reduced Q2 operating income by $16 million, net income by $12 million, and diluted earnings per share by $0.08. Consolidated cash from operations for the second quarter was $94 million, compared with $145 million in the prior year period. Cash from operations last year was affected by unusual COVID-related positive cash flow items including a reduction in working capital and focused cash conservation efforts. We ended Q2 with cash and cash equivalents of $579 million and total outstanding debt of $1.2 billion. Our net debt stood at $615 million compared to $1.1 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2020. As a result of continued strong performance and our current view into the near-term demand environment, we are revising our outlook for the full year and now expect 2021 revenue to be in the range of $5.85 billion to $5.95 billion, implying year-over-year growth in the range of 15% to 17%. Consolidated gross margin is expected to be in the range of 26% to 28%, And GAAP operating profit is expected to be in the range of $535 million to $565 million. For the third quarter of 2021, we expect revenue in the range of $1.5 billion to $1.55 billion. Consolidated gross margin in Q3 is expected to be in the range of 26.5% to 28.5%. and GAAP operating profit is expected to be in the range of $140 million to $150 million. Our revised 2021 revenue outlook anticipates an increase in products and solutions backlog in the second half due to continuing shortages of certain components. We are also forecasting higher costs of goods in the second half of 2021 as a result of an estimated $20 million of additional year-over-year freight costs incremental to volume growth as well as inflation to the cost of certain components of approximately $25 million. Offsetting these higher costs are expected pricing benefits above our typical baseline of approximately $50 million in the second half. Corporate expenses for the year are expected to be approximately $260 million compared with $290 million in 2020. This includes the $16 million litigation settlement in Q2. Also included in our outlook is up to $12 million in one-time leasehold impairment costs related to subleasing our former Austin headquarters office. We expect approximately $7 million of this cost to fall in the third quarter. Additional outlook details can be found on page 10 of our earnings slides. As a reminder, ADI will have five fewer selling days in the fourth quarter compared to Q4 2020. I will now turn the call back to Jay for a few concluding remarks before we take questions.
speaker
Jason Willey
Thanks, Tony. We continue to take advantage of the positive business performance and market momentum to increase our investment in the business. We are focused on building out systems and tools to better understand and support our customers. We believe these investments will better position us for future growth and profitability expansion. While we expect supply and logistics headwinds to continue to create short-term challenges, our teams are focused on ensuring that we deliver for our customers and turn these macro challenges into long-term opportunity for Resideo. This concludes our prepared remarks. Operator, we are now ready for questions.
speaker
Operator
Thank you. If you would like to ask a question at this time, simply press star then the number one on your telephone keypad. If you would like to withdraw your question, press the pound key. Your first question comes from the line of Ian Zuffino with Oppenheimer. Your line is open.
speaker
Ian Zuffino
I agree. you know can you guys just maybe talk a little bit about edi um you know it's positioning in the market now you know you're in an inflationary environment you know do you expect it to benefit from that um similar to maybe some of the other distribution peers um and then how do you think about pricing you know and recouping margins is it you know margin dollar you think about margin percentage you think about um just maybe a discussion on that would be helpful thanks
speaker
Jay Geldmacher
Sure. Good afternoon, Ian. It's Tony. So, you know, thematically in terms of how distribution operations work, yeah, I mean, inflation should be something that, you know, ideally you're able to pass along your costs plus margin on the incremental cost. Our approach at ADI really isn't focused on that. I mean, we're really focused on execution in that business to the extent that we see some benefit because we're passing through price and able to leverage a little bit of margin out of that. We'll certainly take that, but that's not part of the outlook that we're laying out here, and it's kind of not part of the strategy. we do think about that business from the standpoint of margin percentage, because that's always reflective of your execution capabilities in the business. For example, I talked in the script about the MVP pricing initiatives that we've undertaken, about digital selling, about e-commerce. Those kinds of things should support above-market revenue growth. But over time, they should also support some reasonable amount of margin expansion. And that all tracks back to what we talked about at our investor day back in March, where we think this business has a ways to go there. And we talked about the fact we're putting investment against it this year, and that's clearly impacting margins. We knew it would. It was in the guidance. And the returns that we're seeing on those investments, thanks to the ADI team, have been terrific. So we're going to continue to do it.
speaker
Ian Zuffino
Okay, perfect. And then, you know, just another question. Can you just – and I know in your prepared comments you mentioned a lot about technology, leading with technology. I think were the words, maybe not. But either way, can you help us understand what maybe your product lineup looks like as far as, you know, what's out there that you might not talk about that, you know, will be introduced or maybe – the areas where you'll find that, and does that mean you need more M&A, or can you do it with your resources you currently have? Thanks.
speaker
Jay Geldmacher
So I'll start, Jay may have something to offer here too, but we've been pretty clear that we'll talk about new products when they're ready for the market and when they're hitting the markets. We really don't want to get out over our skis on talking about things that are coming some period down the pike. We're really going to be focused on execution in terms of our MPI and driving that and talking about that when it becomes real. for sure, our MPI is going to be more technology-focused because that's how you drive margin and that's how you drive, you know, differentiated product and innovation. So, for sure, I think you're going to see a bias in terms of our R&D and new product introductions to, you know, more innovation and more sort of embedded technology, whether that's sensors or software or AI or anything of that nature, those are the logical trends. In terms of M&A, yes, that's an option we have available to us. That's why we fixed the cap structure. And there may be situations where it's appropriate for us to make acquisitions that contribute to our technology portfolio as opposed to trying to build it ourselves.
speaker
Jason Willey
I'd also add, Ian, this is Jay, that as you know from our discussions over the last year, I brought in an individual by the name of Jeff Frank who heads up our entire innovation ideation area, which has brought a lot to the table in our MPI process, as well as I brought an individual in from the outside who heads up not only, also covers all of global engineering, but he has product management. And as part of that, it's done quite a bit of organizational changes to streamline the MPI process to make it more efficient. We talked about that during the investor day. And what I talked about during our opening comments about the alignment on product management into two groups with the integrated home and building solutions and OMS and partner solutions is another big step there. Because we really do believe that in the area with P&S, in terms of taking a look at things holistically and in a total ecosystem across all the different products we have, we're going to bring more value to our customers and there's more opportunities to bring more products to market. So customers look to us for a complete basket of goods as this particular space evolves and grows. Perfect. Thanks for all the coverage, guys.
speaker
Operator
Your next question comes from Amit Daryanani with Evercore. Your line is open.
speaker
Tony
Hi, this is Michael Fisher. I'm for Amit. I wanted to dig in a little into your comments on some price increases. Is this purely done as a response to, you know, cost inflation you're seeing, or is this more you guys taking a look at the portfolio and maybe identifying some areas where you're not really being properly compensated for the value provided?
speaker
Jay Geldmacher
I'd say yes. It's a combination of both. I mean, there are chunks of our business where it's difficult to move price because contracts are limiting. But in terms of places where we can take critical opportunity to look at what we're bringing in terms of value and driving that through the marketplace, this is an environment where we would focus in those areas in terms of price increases, right? Because you have... you have a market that is generally oriented towards seeing more price inflation. So some of it is strategic in the sense that we feel like we're maybe not getting, you know, fully compensated for the value that we were bringing. And some of it has to do with the fact that people understand that our costs are going up, and they're going up substantially, and, you know, our customers have been – you know, our customers have been partners with us in terms of supporting that, you know, the implications of that for our business.
speaker
Jason Willey
Yeah, and I would say, you know, through this, you know, the challenges that are going on out there in the global supply chain, which, you know, really started towards the very end of last year and, of course, all of this year. And as I mentioned in my comments, it will continue forward and probably into the beginning of 2021. So what Tony phrased, I think, is perfect.
speaker
Tony
Great. Thanks. And then just on revenue guidance, you know, I think if I plug in your 3Q guidance, kind of implies the December quarter revenues may be around flat year over year. Obviously, some pretty tough costs looking against December 20. But I'm just curious, is that, you know, you just maybe being a little bit more cautious given the tough comparison? Or is there something specific you're seeing there?
speaker
Jay Geldmacher
There's nothing specific other than the fact that, you know, we've got a plan for a supply-constrained dynamic with respect to revenue rather than a demand-constrained dynamic with respect to revenue. We have seen our backlog increase, our outlook increase. calls for our backlog to continue to grow. I made a reference a minute ago about our customers partnering with us. I think that's one of the meaningful steps that we've made in the last 12 months is we're very engaged with all of our customers about what's happening in the marketplace, doing everything we possibly can to satisfy their needs. and making them aware of where we have supply constraints that are preventing our ability to drive more revenue.
speaker
Jason Willey
I'd like to add to that. I mean, I really commend the organization of being super close to the customer, and that's really – I mean, it's always important. or, you know, your depth of relationship to your customers to grow together. But during these times, it's even more so. I mean, you can work together to help from the standpoint of making sure you can do the best job you can in supplying to them, but also, you know, dealing with the areas that Tony was talking about. Inclusive of that is the suppliers, how important it is to be working with our suppliers through this and the depth of relationships there. And as I mentioned, It isn't just the supply chain organization. It's myself personally involved, Bill Theodore, Scott Ziffer, the head of engineering, and many others in the organization to help make that happen. And we're doing that.
speaker
Jay Geldmacher
One other thing I mentioned, and it's not trivial from the standpoint of revenue dollars, ADI has five fewer selling days in Q4. Yeah, good point.
speaker
Tony
Great. Thanks for taking my question.
speaker
Operator
Your next question comes from Eric Woodring with Morgan Stanley. Your line is open.
speaker
Eric Woodring
Hi, this is Sabrina Hao on for Eric Woodring. Thanks for taking the question. First, can you just talk at a high level about some of the demand trends you saw in the June quarter by product? So, you know, comfort versus security versus residential thermal. You know, anything that noticeably stuck out to you would be helpful, and then I have a follow-up.
speaker
Jay Geldmacher
The short answer, Sabrina, is there really isn't anything we call out that's differentiated from the portfolio as a whole. We saw strength pretty much everywhere, really across the board. The other comment I'll make is, we're spending less time focused on the comfort RTS and security business lines. And as Jay mentioned, you know, we've taken the business and we've been talking about breaking down silos and really getting collaboration across the business. You know, moving forward, the conversation we're going to have is going to be around the integrated homes and building solutions and the OEM and partner solutions. So it will be a little bit of a different paradigm.
speaker
Eric Woodring
Got it. That's helpful. And just looking into the second half, what's giving you confidence that demand will hold up? Are there any KPIs that you evaluate? And if so, can you help us understand kind of what they are and what you're seeing there?
speaker
Jay Geldmacher
Yeah. I mean, this is mostly a terms business, right? Jay and myself and Scott and Bill and Rob, we look at sales every day. We look at bookings every day. And we are, I think, meaningfully closer to our customers than we were, you know, three, four, five quarters ago. And we're in consistent dialogue with them. Everything we see from all of those indicators is the demand continues to be strong. I mentioned the fact that our outlook calls for us to be – to seeing backlog grow between now and the end of the year. And, you know, that's – it's an indication of the strength in the market that we see. Ideally, we'd be able to satisfy all of that backlog. But in a turned business like this, you're not really going to have kind of – You're not going to see backlog. And things like, you know, new housing starts and those kinds of things, we're going to be affected by them at some level, but on a quarter-by-quarter basis, that's not something that we really track as an indicator of where we see demand headed in the short term.
speaker
Eric Woodring
Great. Thanks so much for the question, for the answers.
speaker
Operator
Again, in order to ask a question, press star 1 on your telephone. Your next question comes from Brian Ruttenberg with Imperial. Your line is open.
speaker
Brian Ruttenberg
Yes, thank you very much. Just have a question on the commercial side of the business, what you're seeing. You know, some of your competitors, obviously a lot of them are seeing dramatic slowdown in new offices. But ADT and alarm, you've probably been monitoring both reported this week, and they're seeing a big rise on the commercial side. Obviously not new office, but everything from churches to schools to everything is on the rise. ADT is calling for market share gains, alarms. Anyway, I want to get your take on what you're seeing on the commercial side of your business and what's hot, what's not.
speaker
Jay Geldmacher
So, yeah, I mean, the things you just referenced are affecting, and it's really ADI, Brian, that is, you know, that's got a significant commercial component to it. You know, that's more commercial than it is residential by a pretty wide margin. And exactly what you just described is what we're seeing. Schools, retail, you know, government, those kinds of things, Those kinds of commercial projects, and you're right, also, that most of them are retrofit, most of them aren't new, are helping that business for sure.
speaker
Jason Willey
Yeah, Brian, and I'll just add to that. I mean, I think it's pretty obvious, but a lot of those types of projects were on hold during COVID when people couldn't get access to those types of facilities. And so one of the drivers is just what Tony said, schools for sure, government, retail installations. And so ADI has definitely benefited by that.
speaker
Jay Geldmacher
Yeah, I mean, one of the remarkable things about ADI during the height of the pandemic was that they posted really strong revenue growth in the face business and now, you know, seeing, uh, seeing commercial kind of come out of that wilderness is definitely, it's definitely been a plus for them. There's not a lot of commercial really on the, uh, on the PNN side. There's some, but there's not a ton.
speaker
Brian Ruttenberg
Right. And just to follow up on that, on the commercial side with ADI, is it, uh, any specific products that are leading the charge, uh, in there, you know, that schools are looking for X versus government versus retail? Is it a total solution? Is it an upgrade of an old system? Can you give me some kind of data point?
speaker
Jay Geldmacher
It's clearly upgrades. But our six largest product lines all grew more than 30% this past quarter. So it's pretty much across the board. Intrusion, fire, video, all of them are showing strong growth.
speaker
Brian Ruttenberg
Okay. Okay. Perfect. Thank you very much.
speaker
Operator
Your next question comes from Paul Dirks with William Gare. Your line is open.
speaker
Paul Dirks
Hi. Good afternoon, and thank you for taking my questions. Sure. Hey, Paul. So a couple for me. First one, on the price increases, can you remind us of the dates of implementation for the different price increases you've instituted and And also, how much of your business is on the long-term contracts that may be subject to a lag here?
speaker
Jay Geldmacher
So the majority of the price increase to date has been in May, June. There's some more pending now, but those have been kind of the two big moves. I don't have a percentage to offer you, but a meaningful amount of our OEM business has effectively negotiated prices in it that don't contemplate price increases for the term of a contract. So, like I said, I don't have a percentage to really offer you, but it's a meaningful chunk.
speaker
Paul Dirks
Got it. That's helpful. And then just on a different note, following up on the ADI discussion, is there any way to quantify some of the share gains that you're achieving here and specifically drilling in on the fact that e-commerce being up so strongly here for the last several quarters and the fact that the benefit there would be to free up the sales associates with the healthier commercial backdrop across verticals? Is there a way that, I mean, perhaps you could just speak to it qualitatively, but if there's a way to quantify the share gains here I'd be interested to know.
speaker
Jay Geldmacher
There's not really an open source or sort of a public source that is looking at share. We have our views as to where the market is growing. We certainly think that we're outgrowing the market at a pretty We think the market was probably flat to down, and we grew that business pretty meaningfully. It feels like we're continuing to do that based on what we see. I wish I had a quantitative measure for you, but we really don't. Yeah, I would agree with that.
speaker
Paul Dirks
All right, fair enough. And then maybe lastly, maybe you could touch upon your conversations with the pro channel, specifically as it relates to labor. We've heard a lot of comments across industries about the significant shortage of labor, and some some places it seems to be getting worse than ever. So I know that's part of your strategy to help enable and empower the pros, but maybe you could talk about what you've observed here in the last 60, 90 days with the channel. And then also, are there any new tools or resources that you're looking to implement here to help keep the channel vibrant?
speaker
Jay Geldmacher
So, um, I think you're right that there are labor constraints with a lot of the contractors. And they have struggled to keep the volume of people that they want. And you're also right that our involvement with the Building Talent Foundation and with some other partnerships with some of our major customers is focused on helping them source talent and really helping them rebuild the pipeline of of technicians that has kind of been depleted over some number of years. I think a bigger factor, frankly, though, is the supply constraint. I think if you had regular flow of goods and we were able to satisfy all of the product demand, then I think you might see sort of the next constraint being, gee, I don't have a crew to go do that job. But I don't think that's the, if you look at it as a Pareto, I don't think that's the driver there. But we are focused on that. I mean, that's a, you know, our view is if we can support growth of technicians and young technicians getting into the, you know, getting into the trades and be a supporter of them early in their career, we get customers for life. And that's something that, again, is new in the past year or so. but we've really been.
speaker
Jason Willey
Yeah, Phil Theodore, who is president of Products and Solutions, has been a big driver of that and done a lot with his organization to make sure that we're deeply involved in training the type of people we're talking about here, and not just the United States, but global training. And then the gentleman who heads up our service organization, he also, that's one of his big focuses. So training is a big deal and is going to help fuel the pipeline for future installers, and then that helps us deepen our relationship even further with the pro-install base. So a lot of benefits in doing that. I'll just add a comment on the labor thing. I mean, as you said, there's many places, many different industries that are all being impacted in different ways and labor shortages. And, you know, we're seeing that in the installer base, like what Tony said, but also we've been seeing it in some of our distribution places also. But, you know, the good news is we're grinding through that and we've been able to help overcome some of those issues. But This training piece that I mentioned before back on the P&S, that's a big deal. And we're going to be sharing more information with you about that because I think it's really meaningful and impactful of what we're doing there.
speaker
Paul Dirks
Very helpful. Thank you, guys.
speaker
Operator
Thank you. There are no further questions at this time. I will now turn the call back to Jay for closing remarks.
speaker
Jason Willey
Thank you very much, Operator. I wanted to close off things today and thank all of the Resideo Global employees for their very hard work and really great execution during Q2 and really the first half of 2021, as well as their really passionate commitment to serve our customers throughout the world. So I want to thank them very, very much as part of my closing remarks. Thank you, everyone, for your participation today, and we look forward to speaking with you over the coming months. Have a good rest of your day.
