Basis of Consolidation

Watsco, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Watsco,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated in Florida in 1956 and is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry in North America. The accompanying September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 interim condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included herein. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 20162017 Annual Report on FormForm 10-K.

The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements contained in this report include the accounts of Watsco, all of its wholly owned subsidiaries and the accounts of three joint ventures with Carrier Corporation (“Carrier”), in each of which Watsco maintains a controlling interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.2018. Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment, and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns, primarily during the Summer and Winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is typically highest in the second and third quarters, and demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction market is fairly consistent duringgenerally evenly distributed throughout the year, subject to weather and economic conditions, including their effect on the number of housing completions.

Equity Method Investments

Investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Under this method of accounting, our proportionate share of the net income or loss of the investee is included in other income in our consolidated statements of income.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the 2017 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or earnings per share as previously reported.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Significant estimates include valuation reserves for accounts receivable, inventories and income taxes, reserves related to self-insurance programs and the valuation of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets. While we believe that these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from such estimates.

NewRecently Adopted Accounting Standards

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued a standard on revenue recognition that provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The standard is principle-based and provides a five-step model to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. ThisIn 2015 and 2016, the FASB issued several updates to this standard. The adoption of this standard may be applied using eitherand its related amendments (collectively, the “New Revenue Standard”) on January 1, 2018 did not result in the recognition of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflectingcumulative adjustment to opening retained earnings under the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients or (ii) a modified retrospective approach, with the cumulative effect of initially adopting the standard recognized at the date of adoption, which requires additional footnote disclosures. This standard is effective for our interim and annual reporting periods beginningnor did it have a significant impact on January 1, 2018.

Based on our initial assessment, we expect similar performance obligations to result under this guidance as compared with deliverables and separate units of accounting currently identified. As a result, we expect the timing of our revenue recognition to generally remain the same. We continue to evaluate the impact the standard has on our determination of whether we act as principal or agent in certain vendor arrangements, representing less than 3% of our consolidated revenues, as well as analyze certain customer incentives. While we have not yet completed our evaluation process, at this time we have not identified any material impacts to our consolidated net income, balance sheet or cash flows.flow. See Note 2.

Financial Instruments

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance related to certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. Most prominent among the changes to the standard is the requirement that changes in the fair value of equity investments, with certain exceptions, be recognized through net income rather than other comprehensive income. This guidance must be applied using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings and became effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. A cumulative-effect adjustment captured the previously held unrealized losses of $301 related to our equity investment carried at fair value. See Note 4.

Measurement of InventoryStock Compensation

In July 2015,May 2017, the FASB issued guidance that simplifiesto clarify when to account for a change to the measurementterms or conditions of inventory by replacinga share-based payment award as a modification. Under the lowernew guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions or the classification of costthe award (as equity or market test withliability) changes as a lowerresult of cost and net realizable value test. The guidance applies to all inventory that is measured usingfirst-in,first-outthe change in terms or average cost methods.conditions. This guidance must be applied prospectively and became effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.2017. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Classification of Deferred Taxes

In November 2015, the FASB issued guidance that requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. This guidance may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively and became effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2017 using the prospective approach did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on accounting for leases, which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. This guidance will be applied using a modified retrospective approach and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this guidance on January 1, 2019. While we are still evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements, including the option to elect certain practical expedients, we expect that, upon adoption, theright-of-use assets and lease liabilities recorded could be material to our consolidated balance sheets. However, we do not expect a material impact toon our consolidated statements of income.

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other

In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under this updated standard, an entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, but the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. An entity also should consider income tax effects from anytax-deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if any. This guidance is effective prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Stock Compensation

In May 2017, the FASB issued guidance to clarify when to account for a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award as a modification. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. This guidance is effective prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact toon our consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives and Hedging

In August 2017, the FASB issued guidance to simplify the accounting for hedging derivatives. This guidance is effective prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact toon our consolidated financial statements.

Adoption of New Revenue Standard

We adopted the New Revenue Standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The New Revenue Standard did not have an impact on the amount and timing of our revenue recognition; however, certain payments to customers were reclassified from expense to a reduction from revenues resulting in an immaterial impact to the individual financial statement line items of our condensed consolidated unaudited statement of income. Results for reporting periods beginning on and after January 1, 2018 are presented under the New Revenue Standard, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue primarily consists of sales of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment and related parts and supplies. We generate our revenue primarily from the sale of finished products to customers, therefore, the significant majority of our contracts are short-term in nature and have a single performance obligation to deliver products, in which our performance obligation is satisfied when control of the product is transferred to the customer. Some contracts contain a combination of product sales and services which are distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Our performance obligations for services are satisfied when the services are rendered within the arranged service period. Total service revenue is not material and accounted for less than 1% of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.

Revenue is recognized when control transfers to our customers via shipment of products or delivery of services. We measure revenue as the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services, net of any variable considerations (e.g., rights to return product, sales incentives, others) and any taxes collected from customers and subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Revenue for shipping and handling charges is recognized when products are delivered to or picked up by the customer.

Product Returns

We estimate product returns based on historical experience and record them on a gross basis. Substantially all customer returns relate to products that are returned under warranty obligations underwritten by manufacturers. Accrued sales returns of $11,414 at March 31, 2018 were included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheet.

Sales Incentives

We estimate sales incentives expected to be paid over the term of the contract based on the most likely amount. Contract liabilities related to sales incentives are accounted for as a reduction in the transaction price and are generally paid on an annual basis. Accrued sales incentives of $6,260 and $13,001 as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, were included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets.

Disaggregation of Revenues

The following table presents our revenues disaggregated by primary geographical regions and major product lines within our single reporting segment:

Practical Expedients

We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for our Common and Class B common stock:

Diluted earnings per share for our Common stock assumes the conversion of all of our Class B common stock into Common stock as of the beginning of the fiscal year; therefore, no allocation of earnings to Class B common stock is required. At September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, our outstanding Class B common stock was convertible into 2,709,1942,599,496 and 2,716,3202,709,311 shares of our Common stock, respectively.

Diluted earnings per share excluded 9,228 and 16,067 shares for the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, 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.

We maintain an unsecured, syndicated revolving credit agreement, that provides for borrowings of up to $600,000. Borrowings are usedwhich we use to fund seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, dividends (if and as declared by our Board of Directors), capital expenditures, stock repurchases and issuances of letters of credit. TheEffective February 5, 2018, we decreased the borrowing capacity under this credit agreement matures on July 1, 2019.from $600,000 to $300,000. Included in the credit facility are a $90,000 swingline subfacility, a $10,000 letter of credit subfacility and a $75,000 multicurrency borrowing sublimit. On January 24, 2017, we entered into an amendment to thisThe credit agreement which reduced the letter of credit subfacility from $50,000 to $10,000 and modified certain definitions.matures on July 1, 2019.

At September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016, $284,7002017, $91,000 and $235,294,$21,800, respectively, were outstanding under the revolving credit agreement. The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants with respect to consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios, and other customary restrictions. We believe we were in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.

In 2011,On February 13, 2017, we formed a joint venture with Carrier Corporation (“Carrier”),purchased an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise Northeast LLC, which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise II.II, for cash consideration of $42,688, which increased our controlling interest from 70% to 80%. Carrier Enterprise II was formed in 2011 as a joint venture with Carrier. Carrier Enterprise II had sales of approximately $500,000$545,000 in 20162017 from 4140 locations in the northeastern United States and 1214 locations in Mexico. We initially owned a 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise II. On November 29, 2016, we purchased an additional 10% ownership interest for cash consideration of $42,909, and, on February 13, 2017, we purchased an additional 10% ownership interest for cash consideration of $42,688, which together increased our controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise II to 80%.

On June 21, 2017, our first joint venture with Carrier, Carrier Enterprise, LLC, which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise I, acquired an approximately 35% ownership interest in Russell Sigler, Inc. (“RSI”), an HVAC distributor with annual sales of approximately $650,000 operating from 30 locations in the Western U.S. We have an 80% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise I, and Carrier has a 20%non-controlling interest. Carrier Enterprise I acquired its ownership interest in RSI for cash consideration of $63,600, of which we contributed $50,880 and Carrier contributed $12,720. Carrier Enterprise I entered into a shareholders agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”) with RSI and RSI’s other shareholders. Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, RSI’s shareholders have the right to sell, and Carrier Enterprise I has the obligation to purchase, their respective shares of RSI for a purchase price determined based on either book value or EBIT, the latter of which Carrier Enterprise I used to calculate the price paid for its investment in RSI. RSI’s shareholders may transfer their respective shares of RSI common stock only to members of the Sigler family or to Carrier Enterprise I, and, at any time from and after the date on which Carrier Enterprise I owns 85% or more of RSI’s outstanding common stock, it has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from RSI’s shareholders the remaining outstanding shares of RSI common stock. Additionally, Carrier Enterprise I has the right to appoint two of RSI’s six board members. Given Carrier Enterprise I’s 35% voting equity interest in RSI and its right to appoint two out of RSI’s six board members, this investment in RSI is accounted for under the equity method.

We enter into foreign currency forward and option contracts to offset the earnings impact that foreign exchange rate fluctuations would otherwise have on certain monetary liabilities that are denominated in nonfunctional currencies.

Cash Flow Hedging Instruments

We enter into foreign currency forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges. The settlement of these derivatives results in reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings for the period in which the settlement of these instruments occurs. The maximum period for which we hedge our cash flow using these instruments is 12 months. Accordingly, at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, all of our open foreign currency forward contracts had maturities of one year or less. The total notional value of our foreign currency exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was $29,200,$34,200, and such contracts have varying terms expiring through JuneDecember 2018.

The impact from foreign exchange derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges was as follows:

At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we expected an estimated $2,001$276pre-tax lossgain to be reclassified into earnings to reflect the fixed prices obtained from foreign exchange hedging within the next 12 months.

11 of 24

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

We have also entered into foreign currency forward and option contracts that are either not designated as hedges or did not qualify for hedge accounting. These derivative instruments were effective economic hedges for all of the periods presented. The fair value gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in earnings as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. The total notional value of our foreign currency exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was $7,900,$15,450, and such contracts have varying terms expiring through November 2017.August 2018.

We recognized a (loss) gainlosses of $(502)$371 and $75$583 from foreign currency forward and option contracts not designated as hedging instruments in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the quarters ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, respectively. We recognized losses of $912 and $389 from foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments in our condensed consolidated unaudited statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments, which consist solely of foreign currency forwardexchange contracts, included in other current assets and accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets. See Note 8.

The following tables present our assets and liabilities carried at fair value that are measured on a recurring basis:

The following is a description of the valuation techniques used for these assets and liabilities, as well as the level of input used to measure fair value:

Available-for-sale securities – the investments are exchange-traded equity securities. Fair values for these investments are based on closing stock prices from active markets and are therefore classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative financial instruments – these derivatives are foreign currency forward and option contracts. See Note 7. Fair value is based on observable market inputs, such as forward rates in active markets; therefore, we classify these derivatives within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

There were no transfers in or out of Level 1 and Level 2 during the nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.

At-the-Market Offering Program

On August 23, 2017, we entered into a sales agreement with Robert W. Baird & Co. Inc. (the “Agent”), which we refer to as the Sales Agreement, pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our Common stock, from time to time, having a maximum aggregate offering price of up to $250,000 through the Agent. Sales, if any, may be made in one or more negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933. The offering of shares in accordance with the Sales Agreement has been registered pursuant to our automatically effective shelf registration statement onForm S-3 (FileNo. 333-207831).

We intend to use the net proceeds, if any, from the sale of shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement for general corporate purposes, which may include, without limitation, the acquisition of complementary businesses, the repayment of outstanding indebtedness, capital expenditures and working capital. The Sales Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants. We believe we were in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2017.

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2017, we sold 35,000 shares of Common stock under the Sales Agreement for net proceeds of $5,391, after $49 of compensation paid to the Agent. Direct costs of $285 incurred in connection with the offering were charged against the proceeds from the sale of Common stock and were accounted for as a reduction ofpaid-in capital. At September 30, 2017, $244,560 remained available for sale under the Sales Agreement.

Common Stock Dividends

We paid cash dividends of $1.25 $0.85, $3.35 and $2.55$1.05 per share of Common stock and Class B common stock during the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016, respectively.

Litigation, Claims and Assessments

In December 2015, a purported Watsco shareholder, Nelson Gaskins (the “Plaintiff”), filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the “Court”) against Watsco’s Board of Directors. The Company was a nominal defendant. The lawsuit alleged breach of fiduciary duties regarding CEO incentive compensation and sought to recover alleged excessive incentive compensation and unspecified damages. The Court dismissed this action, and the Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit (the “Appellate Court”). In May 2017, the Appellate Court dismissed the Plaintiff’s appeal and the action with prejudice. Neither the Plaintiff nor the Plaintiff’s lawyers received any payment from, or on behalf of, Watsco or its Directors in connection with this lawsuit and the related appeal.

We are involved in litigation incidental to the operation of our business. We vigorously defend all matters in which we or our subsidiaries are named defendants and, for insurable losses, maintain significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments that may affect us. Although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage and the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, based on the current information available, we do not believe the ultimate liability associated with any known claims or litigation will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Self-Insurance

Self-insurance reserves are maintained relative to company-wide casualty insurance and health benefit programs. The level of exposure from catastrophic events is limited by the purchase of stop-loss and aggregate liability reinsurance coverage. When estimating the self-insurance liabilities and related reserves, management considers a number of factors, which include historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and valuations provided by independent third-party actuaries. Management reviews its assumptions with its independent third-party actuaries to evaluate whether the self-insurance reserves are adequate. If actual claims or adverse development of loss reserves occur and exceed these estimates, additional reserves may be required. Reserves in the amounts of $2,757$2,363 and $2,951$2,344 at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively, were established related to such programs and are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our condensed consolidated unaudited balance sheets.

Purchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 62% of all inventory purchases made during both the quarters ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 2016. Purchases from Carrier and its affiliates comprised 62% of all inventory purchases made during both the nine months

Company Overview

Watsco, Inc. was incorporated in Florida in 1956, and, together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “Watsco,” or “we,” “us”“us,” or “our”) is the largest distributor of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration equipment, and related parts and supplies (“HVAC/R”) in the HVAC/R distribution industry in North America. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we operated from 562563 locations in 37 U.S. States, Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico with additional market coverage on an export basis to portions of Latin America and the Caribbean.

15 of 22

Revenues primarily consist of sales of air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration equipment, and related parts and supplies. Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of selling expenses, the largest components of which are salaries, commissions, and marketing expenses that are variable and correlate to changes in sales. Other significant selling, general and administrative expenses relate to the operation of warehouse facilities, including a fleet of trucks and forklifts, and facility rent, which are payable mostly undernon-cancelable operating leases.

Sales of residential central air conditioners, heating equipment, and parts and supplies are seasonal. Furthermore, results of operations can be impacted favorably or unfavorably based on weather patterns, primarily during the Summer and Winter selling seasons. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is typically highest in the second and third quarters, and demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the fourth quarter. Demand related to the new construction market is fairly consistent duringgenerally evenly distributed throughout the year, subject to weather and economic conditions, including their effect on the number of housing completions.

Joint Ventures with Carrier Corporation

In 2009, we formed a joint venture with Carrier Corporation (“Carrier”), which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise I, in which Carrier contributed 95 of its company-owned locations in 13 Sun Belt states and Puerto Rico, and its export division in Miami, Florida, and we contributed 15 locations that distributed Carrier products. In July 2012, we exercised our option to acquire an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise I, which increased our ownership interest to 70%; and, on July 1, 2014, we exercised our last remaining option to acquire an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise I, which increased our controlling interest to 80%. Neither Watsco nor Carrier has any remaining options to purchase additional ownership interests in Carrier Enterprise I or any of our other joint ventures with Carrier, which are described below.

In 2011, we formed a second joint venture with Carrier and completed two additional transactions. In April 2011, Carrier contributed 28 of its company-owned locations in the Northeast U.S., and we contributed 14 locations in the Northeast U.S. In July 2011, we purchased Carrier’s distribution operations in Mexico, which included seven locations. Collectively, the Northeast locations and the Mexico operations are referred to as Carrier Enterprise II. On November 29, 2016, we purchased an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise II, and, on February 13, 2017, we again purchased an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise II, which together increased our controlling interest to 80%.

In 2012, we formed a third joint venture, which we refer to as Carrier Enterprise III, with UTC Canada Corporation, referred to as UTC Canada, an affiliate of Carrier. Carrier contributed 35 of its company-owned locations in Canada to Carrier Enterprise III. We have a 60% controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise III, and UTC Canada has a 40%non-controlling interest.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on FormForm 10-Q, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. At least quarterly, management reevaluates its judgments and estimates, which are based on historical experience, current trends, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Our critical accounting policies are included in our 20162017 Annual Report on FormForm 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2017.March 1, 2018. We believe that there have been no significant changes during the quarter ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 to the critical accounting policies disclosed in our Annual Report on FormForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to execute our business strategy and fund operating and investing activities, taking into consideration the seasonal demand for HVAC/R products, which peaks in the months of May through August. Significant factors that could affect our liquidity include the following:

Sources and Uses of Cash

We rely on cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreement to fund seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including dividend payments if and as(to the extent declared by our Board of Directors,Directors), capital expenditures, business acquisitions, and development of our long-term operating and technology strategies. Additionally, we may generate cash through the issuance and sale of our Common stock.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we had $66.7$58.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which $54.0$55.2 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. The repatriation of cash balances from our foreign subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences or be subject to capital controls; however, these balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund the ordinary business operations of our foreign subsidiaries.

We believe that our operating cash flows, cash on hand, and funds available for borrowing under our revolving credit agreement and funds available from sales of our Common stock under ourat-the-market offering program will beare sufficient to meet our liquidity needs in the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that our current sources of available funds will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements.

Our access to funds under our revolving credit agreement depends on the ability of the syndicate banks to meet their respective funding commitments. Disruptions in the credit and capital markets could adversely affect our ability to draw on our revolving credit agreement and may also adversely affect the determination of interest rates, particularly rates based on LIBOR, which is one of the base rates under our revolving credit agreement. Disruptions in the credit and capital markets could also result in increased borrowing costs and/or reduced borrowing capacity under our revolving credit agreement.

Working Capital

Working capital increased to $978.5$994.0 million at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 from $925.3$920.9 million at December 31, 2016,2017, reflecting higher levels of accounts receivable and inventories, primarily due to the seasonality of our business.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the nine monthsquarters ended September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017 and 2016:(in millions):

The individual items contributing to cash flow changes for the periods presented are detailed in the condensed consolidated unaudited statements of cash flows contained in this Quarterly Report on FormForm 10-Q.

Operating Activities

NetThe increase in net cash provided byused in operating activities increasedwas primarily due to the timing of payments for accounts payableaccrued expenses and other current liabilities, and from a buildup of inventory in anticipation of future demand related to the restoration and replacement activities after the natural disasters experienced in certain of our largest markets during August and September, partially offset by a lower increase in accounts receivable primarily driven by timinghigher net income for the first quarter of collections during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2018.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased primarilywas lower due to the purchase of an ownership interest in RSI for $63.6 million and an increasea decrease in capital expenditures in 2017.2018.

Financing Activities

Revolving Credit Agreement

We maintain an unsecured, syndicated revolving credit agreement, that provides for borrowings of up to $600.0 million. Borrowings are usedwhich we use to fund seasonal working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions, dividends (if and as declared by our Board of Directors), capital expenditures, stock repurchases, and issuances of letters of credit. TheEffective February 5, 2018, we decreased the borrowing capacity under this credit agreement matures on July 1, 2019.from $600.0 million to $300.0 million. Included in the credit facility are a $90.0 million swingline subfacility, a $10.0 million letter of credit subfacility and a $75.0 million multicurrency borrowing sublimit. On January 24, 2017, we entered into an amendment to thisThe credit agreement which reduced the letter of credit subfacility from $50.0 million to $10.0 million and modified certain definitions. matures on July 1, 2019.

The revolving credit agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants with respect to consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios, and other customary restrictions. We believe we were in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.

Purchase of Additional Ownership Interest in Joint Venture

On November 29, 2016, we purchased an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise II for cash consideration of

$42.9 million, and, on February 13, 2017, we purchased an additional 10% ownership interest in Carrier Enterprise II for cash consideration of $42.7 million, which together increased our controlling interest in Carrier Enterprise II to 80%. We used borrowings under our revolving credit agreement to finance these acquisitions.this acquisition.

Investment in Unconsolidated Entity

On June 21, 2017, Carrier Enterprise I acquired an approximately 35% ownership interest in RSI, an HVAC distributor operating from 30 locations in the Western U.S., for cash consideration of $63.6 million, of which we contributed $50.9 million, and Carrier contributed $12.7 million. Carrier Enterprise I entered into a shareholders agreement (the “Shareholders Agreement”) with RSI and RSI’s otherits shareholders. Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, RSI’s shareholders have the right to sell, and Carrier Enterprise I has the obligation to purchase, their respective shares of RSI for a purchase price determined based on either book value or a multiple of EBIT, the latter of which Carrier Enterprise I used to calculate the price paid for its investment in RSI. RSI’s shareholders may transfer their

respective shares of RSI common stock only to members of the Sigler family or to Carrier Enterprise I, and, at any time from and after the date on which Carrier Enterprise I owns 85% or more of RSI’s outstanding common stock, it has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from RSI’s shareholders the remaining outstanding shares of RSI common stock. We believe that our operating cash flows, cash on hand, and funds available for borrowing under our revolving credit agreement will be sufficient to purchase any additional ownership interests in RSI.
