Tom Surran: Thank you, Chris, and thanks to everyone for joining us today. Before I speak about the quarter, the entire team would like to thank Jay Geldmacher for his service as CEO over the last 6 years. During his tenure, Jay applied his operational and technical expertise to help Resideo to get where we are today, both strategically and operationally. Jay led us through two major acquisitions, the recent spin, and provided a steady hand through a dynamic market condition. Jay's interactions with customers, partners, and employees have created a tremendous company culture and strong, enduring relationships that will benefit Resideo for a long time. Also, earlier today, we announced Shane Harrison as Resideo's next CFO. I had the opportunity to work with Shane during our time together at FLIR, so I know firsthand the kind of leader we are bringing into Resideo. Shane is highly capable, dedicated, and execution-oriented.

I also know him to be a person of high integrity and someone who works extremely well with others. Shane will be joining us on 1 September. As you are aware, we completed the ADI Global Distribution spin-off on 3 August. As in prior releases, our discussion of the Q2 results, however, will be at times on a consolidated basis as the Products and Solutions and ADI business segments both operated under Resideo in the second fiscal quarter of 2026. As usual, we will also discuss the results of each segment on a segmented accounting basis.

Speaker #2: As usual, we will also discuss the results of each segment on a segmented accounting basis. As has been the case in the past, these segmented results do not include a full allocation of corporate costs borne by the business as a whole.

Tom Surran: As has been the case in the past, these segmented results do not include a full allocation of corporate costs borne by the business as a whole. Finally, there is also information in our earnings material that refers to Resideo's standalone results, which are presented as if the ADI spin-off was completed on 1 January 2026, and include adjustment to certain financial line items to reflect management's estimates of what our results would have been. We have provided a bridge from P&S segmented results to Resideo's standalone results in our earnings release. Starting with our Q3 financial statements, we will classify ADI as discontinued operations for that quarter and all prior periods.

Tom Surran: I will discuss Resideo's consolidated Q2 results before I hand the call over to Chris to speak about the balance sheet, cash flow, and ADI. Chris will then hand the call back to me to speak about the Products and Solutions segment results and Resideo's 2026 standalone outlook. In the Q2, we were pleased with the continued execution demonstrated by the entire team as we exceeded the high end of the Q2 outlook ranges for all metrics, both the consolidated and business segment level. Total revenue grew 2% year over year to just under $2 billion, a new quarterly record. Total adjusted EBITDA grew 19% year over year to $249 million, another new quarterly record. Adjusted EBITDA includes the favorable impact of $27 million of tariff refunds during the quarter, primarily received by ADI. Total adjusted earnings per share grew 26% year over year to $0.83.

Speaker #2: Chris will then hand the call back to me to speak about the Products and Solutions segment results, and Resideo's 2026 standalone outlook.

Speaker #2: Overall, we are pleased with both the top and bottom line performance for RESIDEO in the second quarter. Now let me hand the call over to Chris to discuss the balance sheet, cash flow, and ADI.

Tom Surran: Overall, we are pleased with both the top and bottom line performance for Resideo in the Q2. Now let me hand the call over to Chris to discuss the balance sheet, cash flow, and ADI.

Speaker #3: Thanks, Thomas.

Chris Lee: Thanks, Tom. Total reported cash provided by operating activities in the Q2 was $148 million versus the $200 million generated in the same period last year. The year-over-year decrease was driven primarily by approximately $45 million in payments for non-recurring business separation activities and settlements, including the termination of the Indemnification and Reimbursement Agreement. There was also a $20 million use of cash for higher cash interest paid. The decrease was partially offset by higher net income and less cash taxes paid. Consistent with our Investor Day messaging, Resideo started de-leveraging on 3 August, paying down $900 million of outstanding principal under the Term Loan B credit facility. We expect to make an additional repayment of approximately $200 million on the Term Loan B credit facility in the Q3, following completion of the post-closing cash adjustment under the separation agreement with ADI.

Speaker #3: Thanks, Chris. The products and solutions segment continued its strong operational execution, despite soft housing trends and inflationary input costs. The team achieved another quarter of year-over-year revenue growth in the 13th consecutive quarter of year-over-year gross margin expansion.

Tom Surran: Thanks, Chris. The Products and Solutions segment continued its strong operational execution despite soft housing trends and inflationary input costs. The team achieved another quarter of year-over-year revenue growth and the 13th consecutive quarter of year-over-year gross margin expansion. Product and Solutions reported revenue growth of 4% year over year, including an approximate 35 basis point favorable impact from currency. Revenue grew across substantially all of our sales channels and product families, driven primarily by volume from customer demand. Let me walk through our performance by primary sales channel. First, in the retail channel, we experienced another quarter of strong year-over-year revenue growth, driven primarily by increased volumes for higher value products. Adoption of our combination smoke and CO detectors and our new thermostats continues to be strong and ahead of our expectations.

Speaker #3: Adoption of our combination smoke and CO detectors and our new thermostats continues to be strong and ahead of our expectations. Our point-of-sale volumes at our key accounts continue to be strong and are supported by healthy levels of channel inventory.

Tom Surran: Our point of sales volumes at our key accounts continues to be strong and is supported by healthy levels of channel inventory. In the OEM combustion channel, also reported as energy category, posted its seventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth against a tough comparison. Growth was driven primarily by continued demand for higher priced products, primarily in EMEA. In the HVAC distribution channel, revenue returned to year-over-year growth. Revenue growth was driven primarily by volume, led by another quarter of strong customer adoption of the Honeywell Home ElitePRO, our new premium smart thermostat. Demand continues to exceed our expectations and has resulted in our increased presence in the high-end connected segment of the market. In addition, our new dehumidification and water filtration products increase our category penetration and continues the positive momentum generated from the execution of our strategy.

Speaker #3: Conditions in the residential HVAC market remain stable versus last quarter. Our channel inventory remained healthy and increased modestly from the prior quarter. The electrical distribution channel had another quarter of year-over-year revenue growth, driven primarily by volume.

Tom Surran: Conditions in the residential HVAC market remained stable versus last quarter. Our channel inventory remained healthy and increased modestly from the prior quarter. The electrical distribution channel had another quarter of year-over-year revenue growth, driven primarily by volume. We saw continued demand for our BRK-branded, non-connected safety products, primarily in the maintenance, repair, and operations market, but also the manufactured housing market. Our content per new residential built home remained stable quarter over quarter amidst a continued soft market for new home builds. Revenue from the security distribution channel was flat year over year, given the continued soft market for security installs related to the resale of existing homes. OEM security sales were down slightly year over year due to reduced volumes with a large OEM security customer. This was in line with our expectations for the quarter and with our strategy to focus on higher-margin branded business.

Speaker #3: We saw continued demand for our BRK-branded non-connected safety products, primarily in the maintenance, repair, and operations market, but also in the manufactured housing market.

Speaker #3: Our content per new residential built home remained stable quarter over quarter amidst a continued soft market for new home builds.

Speaker #3: OEM security sales were down slightly year-over-year due to reduced volumes with a large OEM security customer. This was in line with our expectations for the quarter and with our strategy to focus on higher margin branded business.

Speaker #3: Moving on to profitability, our gross margin percentage was 43.6%, up 70 basis points year-over-year and up 100 basis points sequentially. Gross margin expansion was driven by volume increases, favorable manufacturing and supply chain variances, and tariff refunds.

Tom Surran: Moving on to profitability. Our gross margin percentage was 43.6%, up 70 basis points year over year, and up 100 basis points sequentially. Gross margin expansion was driven by volume increases, favorable manufacturing and supply chain variances, and tariff refunds, partially offset by product sales mix. We also incurred inflationary input costs, which we do not believe are permanent, but are only partially offset by the price actions we announced last quarter. P&S segmented adjusted EBITDA grew 6% year over year due primarily to higher gross profit dollars. As discussed at our recent Investor Day, R&D continues to be approximately 5% of total segmented revenue as we invest behind new product launches and speed to market. Operating expenses increased due primarily to higher legal settlement costs.

Speaker #3: Partially offset by product sales mix. We also incurred inflationary input costs which we do not believe are permanent but are only partially offset by the price actions we announced last quarter.

Speaker #3: P&S segmented adjusted EBITDA grew 6% year-over-year due primarily to higher gross profit dollars. As discussed at our recent investor day, R&D continues to be approximately 5% of total segmented revenue as we invest behind new product launches and speed to market.

Speaker #3: Operating expenses increased due primarily to higher legal settlement costs. Before I provide our full year 2026 and third quarter financial outlook for standalone RESIDEO, let me walk you through some of our current market perspectives and assumptions.

Tom Surran: Before I provide our full year 2026 and Q3 financial outlook for standalone Resideo, let me walk you through some of our current market perspectives and assumptions. First, we believe Resideo can continue its steady execution through a residential macroeconomic environment that is persistently soft. We also anticipate continued demand for our products and year-over-year revenue growth across all channels other than OEM Security during the H2 2026. We anticipate some continued weakness in the OEM Security channel. Our current outlook reflects lower volumes from a large OEM Security customer, which we expect will result in $40 to $50 million less revenue in the H2 2026 versus the same period in the prior year. Input costs, such as memory, metals, printed circuit boards, semiconductor, and shipping, continue to increase at a pace greater than originally expected due to dynamic global conditions.

Speaker #3: First, we believe Resideo can continue its steady execution through a residential macroeconomic environment that is persistently soft. We also anticipate continued demand for our products and year-over-year revenue growth across all channels, other than OEM security, during the second half of 2026.

Speaker #3: We anticipate some continued weakness in the OEM security channel. Our current outlook reflects lower volumes from a large OEM security customer, which we expect will result in $40 to $50 million less revenue in the second half of 2026 versus the same period in the prior year.

Speaker #3: Input costs such as memory, metals, printed circuit boards, semiconductor, and shipping continue to increase at a pace greater than originally expected due to dynamic global conditions.

Speaker #3: While we proactively instituted price increases during the second quarter, our outlook incorporates a slight headwind to gross margin due to higher input costs anticipated in the second half of the year compared to the most recent quarter.

Tom Surran: While we proactively instituted price increases during the Q2, our outlook incorporates a slight headwind to gross margin due to higher input costs anticipated in the H2 of the year compared to the most recent quarter. We do not anticipate material cost increases related to tariffs after conducting our assessment on the recent trade actions announced by the US administration on 24 July. We also do not anticipate receiving any material tariff refunds for the remainder of 2026. Due to our corporate accounting calendar, there is one extra day in the Q3 2026 and four fewer days in the Q4 2026, both versus the same period last year. Now, as to our outlook. We are initiating our outlook for Resideo on a standalone basis.

Speaker #3: We do not anticipate material cost increases related to tariffs after conducting our assessment of the recent trade actions announced by the U.S. administration on July 24.

Speaker #3: We also do not anticipate receiving any material tariff refunds for the remainder of 2026. Due to our corporate accounting calendar, there is one extra day in the third quarter of 2026 and four fewer days in the fourth quarter of 2026, both versus the same period last year.

Speaker #3: Now, as to our outlook, we are initiating our outlook for Resideo on a standalone basis. Starting in the third quarter of 2026, Resideo will no longer consolidate its former ADI Global Distribution segment, and results for that segment for all periods prior to the ADI spin-off date will be reflected as discontinued operations.

Tom Surran: Starting in Q3 2026, Resideo will no longer consolidate its former ADI Global Distribution segment, and results for that segment for all periods prior to the ADI spin-off date will be reflected as discontinued operations. Our outlook is presented as if we had operated as a standalone company for H1 2026, coupled with our standalone outlook for the remainder of the year. This outlook includes sales to ADI as an external customer and approximately $80 million of full-year corporate costs allocated to standalone Resideo. The full year of sales to ADI are anticipated to be approximately $175 million. In our earnings press release, earnings presentation, and financial data workbook, all of which can be found on our website, we have included a revenue and EBITDA bridge from reported segment results to a standalone basis.

Speaker #3: Our outlook is presented as if we had operated as a standalone company for the first half of '26, coupled with our standalone outlook for the remainder of the year.

Speaker #3: This outlook includes sales to ADI as an external customer and approximately $80 million of full-year corporate costs allocated to standalone Resideo. The full year of sales to ADI are anticipated to be approximately $175 million.

Speaker #3: In our earnings press release, earnings presentation, and financial data workbook — all of which can be found on our website — we have included a revenue and EBITDA bridge from reported segment results to a standalone basis.

Speaker #3: During this short transition period, the standalone outlook we are providing is for revenue and adjusted EBITDA only. We intend to provide our outlook for adjusted earnings per share and cash from operations upon completion of certain activity, including the post-closing cash adjustment under the separation agreement with ADI, that is to be calculated in the coming week.

Tom Surran: During this short transition period, the standalone outlook we are providing is for revenue and adjusted EBITDA only. We intend to provide our outlook for adjusted earnings per share and cash from operations upon completion of certain activities, including the post-closing cash adjustment under the separation agreement with ADI that is to be calculated in the coming weeks. We intend to once again provide outlook on these metrics, starting with our Q3 earnings call. With that, our standalone outlook for 2026 is as follows. Revenue in the range of $2.9 to $2.95 billion. Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $605 to $625 million. Our standalone outlook for Q3 2026 is as follows: revenue in the range of $705 to $730 million, and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $145 to $155 million.

Speaker #3: We intend to once again provide outlook on these metrics starting with our third quarter earnings call. With that, our standalone outlook for 2026 is as follows.

Speaker #3: Revenue in the range of $2.9 to $2.95 billion. Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $605 to $625 million. And our standalone outlook for the third quarter of 2026 is as follows.

Speaker #3: Revenue in the range of 705 to 730 million dollars. And adjusted EBITDA in the range of 145 to 155 million dollars. Looking forward, I'd like to reiterate some of our key themes from our recent investor day.

Tom Surran: Looking forward, I would like to reiterate some of our key themes from our recent Investor Day. The new Resideo is focused on its mission as a pure-play building technologies company. We believe we have tremendous market momentum from the recent introduction of new differentiated products that strengthen our customer value proposition, and in turn will fuel the near and medium-term financial targets we laid out today and at our Investor Day. Those targets reflect a business with higher gross and operating margins than the historical Resideo, coupled with continued strong cash flow generation. We are very excited about the launch of new products in H2 2026, including our new smoke and CO detector platform and our new video surveillance and intrusion security products, to name a few.

We believe we have tremendous market momentum from the recent introduction of new differentiated products that strengthen our customer value proposition and in turn will fuel the near and medium-term financial targets we laid out today and at our investor day.

Speaker #3: Those targets reflect a business with higher gross and operating margins than the historical RESIDEO, coupled with continued strong cash flow generation. We're very excited about the launch of new products in the second half of 2026, including our new smoke and CO detector platform and our new video surveillance and intrusion security products, to name a few.

Speaker #3: And as we discussed at length during our Investor Day, we have several levers we are pulling that are intended to strategically optimize our operations throughout the remainder of this year and beyond.

Tom Surran: As we discussed at length during our Investor Day, we have several levers we are pulling that are intended to strategically optimize our operations throughout the remainder of this year and beyond. With our track record of execution, our stellar team, and our focused go-forward strategy, I am extremely confident in our profitable growth path ahead. Now let us open the call for questions. Operator?

Speaker #3: With our track record of execution, our stellar team, and our focused go-forward strategy, I am extremely confident in our profitable growth path ahead.

Speaker #3: Now, let's open the call for questions. Operator.

Operator: The first question comes from the line of Erik Woodring with Morgan Stanley. Your line is now open.

Speaker #2: Super guys, thank you very much for taking my question and congrats again on the spin. Tom, I just want to make sure we're doing kind of a like-for-like comparison here.

Erik Woodring: Super, guys. Thank you very much for taking my question, and congrats again on the spin. Tom, I just want to make sure we are doing kind of a like-for-like comparison here. If I go back to last quarter, the guide for Resideo whole co 2026 revenue growth was 5% year over year at the midpoint. There were remarks that P&S and ADI revenue would grow at roughly the same rates. Again, call it around 5% year over year. I think if I take your new standalone P&S revenue guidance of $2.925 billion at the midpoint and compare it to standalone revs in 2025, we are now getting to P&S revenue growth of 2% year over year in 2026. First, can you just comment, is that math correct? Then if so, why are we guiding down relative to 90 days ago after just beating the Q2?

Speaker #2: So, if I go back to last quarter, the guide for Resideo whole co 2026 revenue growth was 5% year over year at the midpoint.

Speaker #2: There were remarks that PNS and ADI revenue would grow at roughly the same rates. Again, call it around 5% year over year. I think if I take your new standalone PNS revenue guidance of 2.925 billion at the midpoint and compare it to standalone revs in 2025, we're now getting to PNS revenue growth of 2% year over year in 2026.

Speaker #2: So first, can you just comment is that math correct? And then if so, why are we guiding down relative to 90 days ago after just beating the second quarter?

Speaker #2: What is changing about the second half? And then a quick follow-up, please.

Erik Woodring: What is changing about the H2? Then a quick follow-up, please.

Speaker #3: Okay. So the math is a little bit off. So I'd have to go through exactly how you did your calculations, but no, the assumption what was said was that the things would the two segments would have similar growth for the year.

Tom Surran: Well, the math is a little bit off. I would have to go through exactly how you did your calculations, but no. The assumption, what was said was that the two segments would have similar growth for the year. We did not specify that it was P&S coming up in its revenue growth versus ADI coming down. But the projection that we have for P&S, A, the growth is higher than the number 2% that you have stated. Overall for the year, it is almost 3%. Now, in terms of how, if you want to talk about exactly your math, we can go through that. But generally, that is in line with what our expectations have been. In the H2, we do have the issues that we described about OEM security, which were something that came about in the mid part of the year.

Speaker #3: We did not specify that it was PNS coming up in its revenue growth versus ADI coming down. But the projection that we have for PNS, the growth is higher than the number—2%—that you stated.

Speaker #3: So overall for the year, it's almost 3%. Now, in terms of how if you want to talk about exactly your math, we can go through that.

Speaker #3: But generally, that's in line with what our expectations had been. Now, in the second half of the year, we do have the issues that we described about OEM security.

Speaker #3: Which were something that came about in the mid part of the year. It's business we've talked about before. It's one that's determined by a third party.

Tom Surran: It's business we've talked about before. It's one that's determined by a third party. We have to respond to that.

Speaker #3: And so, we have to respond to that.

Speaker #2: Hey, Eric, it's Chris. The one other thing I like to add is if you look at the first half performance for products and solutions at the segment level, we outperformed our expectations given growth across most channels.

Chris Lee: Hey, Erik, it's Chris. The one other thing I'd like to add is if you look at the H1 performance for Products and Solutions at the segment level, we outperformed our expectations given growth across most channels. We still anticipate growth in the H2 of the year across many of our channels, with the exception of the OEM security channel, like Tom just mentioned.

Speaker #2: And we still anticipate growth in the second half of the year across many of our channels, with the exception of the OEM security channel, like Tom just mentioned.

Speaker #2: Okay. All right. We could do the math offline, but I appreciate all that color, guys. Thank you. And then just a quick follow-up. Tom or Chris, can you maybe help us better understand how to think about the linearity of gross margins over the next six months or two quarters?

Erik Woodring: Okay. All right. We can do the math offline, but I appreciate all that color, guys. Thank you. Just a quick follow-up, Tom or Chris. Can you maybe help us better understand how to think about the linearity of gross margins over the next six months or two quarters? There's a number of moving pieces when we think about seasonality, input cost inflation, pricing, mix, market softness, NPI. Just any way that you can help us understand how to think about that trajectory would be super helpful. Thanks, guys.

Speaker #2: There are just a number of moving pieces when we think about seasonality, input cost inflation, pricing/mix, market softness, and NPI. Any way that you can help us understand how to think about that kind of trajectory would be super helpful.

Speaker #2: Thanks, guys.

Speaker #3: Yeah. So I think, in terms of the input costs that we've talked about, the biggest challenge for us is Q3. So we've always said it was never going to be linear.

Tom Surran: Yeah. I think because of the input cost that we've talked about, the biggest challenge for us is Q3. We always said it was never going to be linear, and it's going to be step function. I think Q3 we're going to see probably the most of these temporary input costs going up before all of the pricing catches up to it. So it's probably going to hit us most in Q3. But we're not talking massive here. Most of this is going to be recovered by pricing, but there will be some. I'm not sure that we will get gross profit for a 14th consecutive quarter. It's well within the possibility, but it's not something we're focused on right now just because of those activities.

Speaker #3: And it's going to be still functional. And I think Q3, we're going to see probably that most of these temporary input costs are going up before all of the pricing catches up to it.

Speaker #3: So, it's probably going to hit us most in Q3. But we're not talking massive here. I mean, most of this is going to be recovered by pricing.

Speaker #3: But there will be some. I'm not sure that we will get gross profit for the 14th consecutive quarter. It's well within the possibility, but it's not something we're focused on right now, just because of those activities.

Speaker #2: And one other thing to mention, Eric, remember last quarter when we talked about the price increase that we were implementing in Q2. We did implement that price increase, but we also said it would have a lag impact because of certain customer provisions that we have with certain customers in terms of a notice period.

Chris Lee: And one other thing to mention, Erik. Remember last quarter when we talked about the price increase that we were implementing in Q2. We did implement that price increase, but we also said it would have a lag impact because of certain customer provisions that we have with certain customers in terms of a notice period. So, while we have increased pricing, and as Tom just said, the price increase is helping to offset some of the inflationary costs, it is not a dollar for dollar offset.

Speaker #2: So, while we have increased pricing and, as Tom just said, the price increase is helping to offset some of the inflationary costs, it's not a dollar-for-dollar offset.

Speaker #2: Okay, awesome. Thank you guys very much. I really appreciate the color.

Erik Woodring: Okay. Awesome. Thank you guys very much. I really appreciate the color.

Speaker #1: The next question comes from the line of Dan Stroudemeyer with Jefferies. Your line is now open.

Operator: The next question comes from the line of Dan Stratemeyer with Jefferies. Your line is now open.

Speaker #4: Hey, gentlemen. Congratulations again, Tom. Congratulations on your first call as a CEO. Let me follow up on Eric's question and ask it a little bit differently, but maybe tie it back in.

Dan Stratemeyer: Hey, gentlemen. Congratulations again, Tom. Congratulations on your first call as a CEO. Let me follow up on Erik's question and ask it a little bit differently, but maybe tie it back in. Tom, can you help us understand the cadence and sort of the number. Actually, not the exact number, but looking at your NPIs that are going to be coming out over the next 18 months, it is obviously being a big part of your growth, your growth margin expansion. How would you compare what you have upcoming over the next 12, 18 months to what you rolled out over the last 18 months, and maybe like the magnitude of what is coming versus what already came out. And then to Erik's question, I think someone also asked this at the Investor Day.

Dan Stratemeier: Hey, gentlemen. Congratulations again, Tom. Congratulations on your first call as a CEO. Let me follow up on Erik's question and ask it a little bit differently, but maybe tie it back in. Tom, can you help us understand the cadence and sort of the number. Actually, not the exact number, but looking at your NPIs that are going to be coming out over the next 18 months, it is obviously being a big part of your growth, your growth margin expansion. How would you compare what you have upcoming over the next 12, 18 months to what you rolled out over the last 18 months, and maybe like the magnitude of what is coming versus what already came out.

Speaker #4: Tom, can you help us understand the cadence and, not the exact number, but the sort of number of NPIs that are going to be coming out over the next 18 months?

Speaker #4: It's obviously been a big part of your growth, your growth margin expansion. How would you compare what you have upcoming over the next 12 to 18 months to what you rolled out over the last 18 months, and maybe the magnitude of what's coming versus what already came out?

Speaker #4: And then to Eric's question, I think someone also asked us at the investor day, when you had your build-up to your five-year CAGRs and your projections at the investor day, you only had one to one and a half percent pricing.

Dan Stratemeier: And then to Erik's question, I think someone also asked this at the Investor Day. When you had your build up to your 5-year CAGRs, and your projections at the Investor Day, you only had 1% to 1.5% pricing. Seemingly, there is a lot of inflationary pressures, and it seems like 1% and a 1.5% seems low or out of place, especially with the mix of new products coming in. Can you just help us understand the pricing philosophy and how you came to that 1% to 1.5% number? Then I have a follow-up.

Dan Stratemeyer: When you had your build up to your 5-year CAGRs, and your projections at the Investor Day, you only had 1% to 1.5% pricing. Seemingly, there is a lot of inflationary pressures, and it seems like 1% and a 1.5% seems low or out of place, especially with the mix of new products coming in. Can you just help us understand the pricing philosophy and how you came to that 1% to 1.5% number? Then I have a follow-up.

Speaker #4: Seemingly there's a lot of inflationary pressures. And it seems like one in a one and a half percent seems low or out of place, especially with the mix of new products coming in.

Speaker #4: Can you just help us understand the pricing philosophy and how you came to that one to one and a half percent number? And I have a follow-up.

Speaker #3: Sure. Sure, Dan. Thank you. So, let's go with the NPI. We're pretty excited about the second half of the year, but for instance, on our smoke and CO detector platform that we're introducing, that product will first go into the American market, replacing the eighth edition ULL products that are out there.

Tom Surran: Sure. Sure, Dan. Thank you. Let us deal with the NPI. We are pretty excited about the H2 of the year, but for instance, on our smoke and CO detector platform that we are introducing. That product will first go into the American market, replacing the eighth edition UL products that are out there. It has a better cost profile to it. It will have a better margin profile to it. We think it performs well. We think it will continue to drive revenue growth, but it is really about creating that global platform that allows us to build even further out. Second, we are introducing the ProSeries platform to the marketplace and bringing that all the way across all of our products. That is going to be very important. It is a major effort. It does not necessarily in and of itself drive revenue immediately, but long-term, it is a very key part of our strategy.

Speaker #3: It has a better cost profile to it. It'll have a better margin profile as well. We think it performs well; we believe it'll continue to drive revenue growth, but it's really about creating that global platform that allows us to build even further out.

Speaker #3: Second, we're introducing the Fordix platform to the marketplace. And bringing that all the way across all of our products, that's going to be very important.

Tom Surran: Second, we are introducing the ProSeries platform to the marketplace and bringing that all the way across all of our products. That is going to be very important. It is a major effort. It does not necessarily in and of itself drive revenue immediately, but long-term, it is a very key part of our strategy.

Speaker #3: It's a major effort. It doesn't necessarily in and of itself drive revenue immediately, but long-term it's a very key part of our strategy. Some of the security products that will be built out or brought to the market, I think that they will help drive the revenue.

Tom Surran: Some of the security products that will be built out or brought to the market, I think that they will help drive the revenue. I think the best thing to think about overall is excluding OEM security products, we are expecting revenue growth across all of the other product areas. That is the first piece. The cadence of the NPI, we are seeing momentum. Generally, yes, we are continuing to see more products coming out with shorter development cycles, and we continue to have a very healthy pipeline for thereafter. In terms of your second question, the pricing. You are right.

Speaker #3: But I think the best thing to think about overall is excluding OEM security products where you're expecting revenue growth across all of the other product areas.

Speaker #3: So that's the first piece. And with the cadence of the NPI, we are seeing momentum. So generally, yes, we are continuing to see more products coming out with shorter development cycles, and we have a very healthy pipeline thereafter.

Speaker #3: In terms of your second question, the pricing. So you're right. If we experience the conditions that we do have experienced recently, memory costs going up four X, metal costs going up 35%, and now these shortages of things like low thermal expansion fiberglass driving printed circuit boards and all of these shocks from the data centers.

Tom Surran: If we experience the conditions that we do have experienced recently, memory costs going up 4x, metal costs going up 35%, and now these shortages of things like low thermal expansion fiberglass driving printed circuit boards and all of these shocks from the data centers, 100% that that would be These are significant costs. They are able to be currently absorbed by pricing offsets and certain other efforts to try to reduce the cost of our products, but they do have an impact. That said, we do not believe that these will be long-term cost increases. Some of it will stick, but I think long-term, we will see these basically roll back up. We are seeing more memory coming online from some of the suppliers related to especially the generations and the geometries that we consume. We kind of have a good visibility of what will be happening.

Speaker #3: 100%. That would be these are significant costs. They're able to be currently absorbed by pricing offsets and certain other efforts to try to reduce the cost of our products.

Speaker #3: But they do have an impact. That said, we do not believe that these will be long-term cost increases. Some of it will stick, but I think long term we will see these basically roll back off.

Speaker #3: We're seeing more memory coming online from some of the suppliers, especially related to the generations and the geometries that we consume. We kind of have a good visibility of what will be happening.

Speaker #3: These prices are going to start unwinding. As the competition comes to the marketing capacity comes available. So I don't think that we're going to see a long-term shortage on thermal expansion fiber.

Tom Surran: These prices are going to start unwinding as the competition comes to the market and as capacity comes available. I don't think that we're going to see a long-term shortage on thermal expansion fiber. I don't think we're going to see a long-term contraction in the memory supply market. Metals and fuel, those are shocks from what's going on in the world. Those things, yes, they impact the short term, but over a five-year term, they shouldn't be considered a trend.

Speaker #3: I don't think we're going to see a long-term contraction in the memory supply market. Metals and fuel, those are shocks from what's going on in the world.

Speaker #3: So those things, yes, they impact the short term, but over a five-year term, they shouldn't be considered a trend.

Speaker #4: All right. Great. There was one line in there at the end that caught my attention, which was: "strategically optimize our operations throughout the remainder of the year."

Dan Stratemeyer: All right, great. You threw one line in there at the end that caught my attention, which was strategically optimize our operations throughout the remainder of the year. What does that mean? What's the magnitude of it? Can you help us understand the drivers of that, if you don't mind, please?

Dan Stratemeier: All right, great. You threw one line in there at the end that caught my attention, which was strategically optimize our operations throughout the remainder of the year. What does that mean? What's the magnitude of it? Can you help us understand the drivers of that, if you don't mind, please?

Speaker #4: What does that mean? What's the magnitude of it? Can you help us understand the drivers of that, if you don't mind, please?

Speaker #3: So yeah, we have to be a little careful in terms of discussing some of these things—there are certain sensitivities. But we've spoken about always reviewing our manufacturing footprint and our costs.

Tom Surran: Yeah, we have to be a little. In terms of discussing some of these things, there are certain sensitivities. But we've spoken about always reviewing our manufacturing footprint and our costs. How can we optimize those things to reduce our product costs and pass that on both onto customers as well as improve our margins? That's something we're actively doing. We're looking at all of our operations worldwide to take those actions that we think will benefit the company long term.

Speaker #3: How can we optimize those things to reduce our product costs and we can pass that out both on to the customers as well as approval margins?

Speaker #3: And that's something we're actively doing. We're looking at all of our operations worldwide to take those actions that we think will benefit the company long term.

Speaker #4: And is this, like, above and beyond what you've already always been doing?

Dan Stratemeyer: Is this above and beyond what you've already always been doing?

Dan Stratemeier: Is this above and beyond what you've already always been doing?

Speaker #3: Yes, yeah. Again, Dan, just in terms of this, this is a long-term plan. So when we talk about this, we're talking about things that we want to do over the next five years.

Tom Surran: Yes. Again, Dan, just in terms of this is a long-term plan. When we talk about this, we are talking about things that we want to do over the next 5 years and thereafter, actually. But certainly in the next 5 years, we have specific actions that we want to take that will make a material impact to the company, and we are executing. We talked about the closing of the Tianjin facility. We talked about the closing of the Juarez. We are reviewing our manufacturing program footprint. We are optimizing our product manufacturing and the execution in all of our factories.

Speaker #3: And thereafter, actually. But certainly, in the next five years, we have specific actions that we want to take that will make a material impact to the company.

Speaker #3: And we are executing. I mean, we talked about the closing of the TNGN facility. We talked about the closing of the Latte. We're reviewing our manufacturing footprint.

Speaker #3: We're optimizing our product manufacturing. And the execution in all of our factories.

Speaker #4: Yeah. And then just to pile on, I mean, this also is thematic to the replatforming that we've talked about, moving from tens or hundreds down to one to a handful by product line.

Chris Lee: Yeah, just to pile on, this also is thematic to the re-platforming that we have talked about, moving from tens or hundreds down to one to a handful by product line. I think these are all levers that are really under our control. I think that is important to understand, and ties back into what Tom said, of this is part of the long-term plan.

Speaker #4: And I think these are all levers that are really under our control. And so I think that's important to understand and ties back into what Tom said of this is part of the long-term plan.

Speaker #3: Yeah, those actions improve the efficiency of our operations, but they in and of themselves are only to do that. So, we talked about platforming, but there are other actions related to the efficiency of our operations.

Tom Surran: Yeah, those actions improve the efficiency of our operations, but they in and of themselves are only to do that. We talked about platform, but there is other actions related to the efficiency of our operations.

Speaker #1: The next question comes from the line of Ian Zafino with Oppenheimer & Co. Your line is now open.

Operator: The next question comes from the line of Ian Zaffino with Oppenheimer & Co. Your line is now open.

Speaker #2: I agree. Thank you very much. Just wanted to drill down a little bit on the AR and HVAC. Maybe help us understand kind of what maybe what the environment is and that you saw in the second quarter.

Ian Zaffino: Hi, great. Thank you very much. Just wanted to drill down a little bit on the HVAC for a minute. Maybe help us understand kind of maybe what the environment is and that you saw in Q2. Then how do we think about the rest of the year? I know we had some softness last year. So what's sort of the magnitude of maybe the comp benefit we should get? What is the timing of that? Then also just kind of what happened in Q2. Thanks.

Speaker #2: And then, how do we think about the rest of the year? I know we had a little bit of softness last year, so what's sort of the magnitude of the comp benefit we should get?

Speaker #2: What is the timing of that? And then also, just kind of what happened in the second quarter? Thanks.

Speaker #3: Sure. So second quarter for us, we were relatively flat year over year. We believe the general market was down. So we believe that our volume since our sales, revenue dollars represented increased volume.

Tom Surran: Sure. So Q2 for us, we were relatively flat year over year. We believe the general market was down. So we believe that our volume, since our sales revenue dollars represented increased volume, but flat revenue. We believe that we did well in the marketplace and our position in the marketplace. When we look forward, what happened last year related to a transition related to the gases and refrigerants used in the marketplace and the inventory that had been built up in the channel and some shocks related to that. We don't see anything like that happening this year. In terms of, I think what we're going to see is kind of a more normalized marketplace. I don't expect large growth right now in HVAC because there's no fundamental drivers for that.

Speaker #3: With flat revenue, we believe that we did well in the marketplace and in our position in the marketplace. When we look forward, what happened last year related to the transition involving the gases and refrigerants used in the marketplace, as well as inventory that had been built up in the channel and some shocks related to that.

Speaker #3: We don't see anything like that happening this year. In terms of, I think what we're going to see is kind of a more normalized marketplace.

Speaker #3: I don't expect large growth right now in HVAC because there are no fundamental drivers for that. But I think, really, it's on us to create great value products that are able to increase the volumes and our share in the market.

Tom Surran: But I think really it's on us to create great value products that are able to increase the volumes and our share in the market.

Speaker #4: And look, as we talked about and Tom's prepared remarks, I mean, the adoption of our new products, be it the thermostat, be it the dehumidification product, be it the water filtration product, continues to be positive.

Chris Lee: Look, as we talked about in Tom's prepared remarks, the adoption of our new products, be it the thermostat, be it the dehumidification product, be it the water filtration product, continues to be positive, and we're going to continue that NPI focus, as Tom mentioned. When you combine that with pretty healthy channel inventory, I think we're well positioned.

Speaker #4: And we're going to continue that NPI focus as Tom mentioned. And when you combine that with pretty healthy channel inventory, I think we're well positioned.

Speaker #2: Okay. And then, can you maybe just talk about—so, to that question, I always have another question that comes up. But what are we thinking about as far as comps going into the back half of the year, and comps in that context?

Ian Zaffino: Okay. Can you maybe just talk about, as a follow-up to that question, I just have another question after that. What are we thinking about as far as comps going into the back half of the year, and your confidence in that? Also, can you maybe just give us a broader discussion on price versus volume? I know you said that a lot of the gains in the quarter were volume. There are references to price benefits on the gross margin side. Just trying to understand what is actually going on. Thanks.

Speaker #2: And then also, can you maybe just give us a broader discussion on price versus volume? I know you said that a lot of the gains in the quarter were volume, and there's reference to price benefits on the gross margin side.

Speaker #2: So just trying to understand what's actually going on. Thanks.

Speaker #3: Okay, so you broke up a bit there, Ian. I didn't catch all of it, but you were talking about the comps for the—

Tom Surran: Okay. You broke up a bit there, Ian. I did not catch all of it, but you were talking about the comps? Comps for?

Ian Zaffino: Yeah, the comps in HVAC.

Speaker #2: Yeah, the comp in HVAC.

Speaker #4: Second half.

Tom Surran: H2.

Chris Lee: Of the who?

Speaker #3: Up to who?

Speaker #2: Correct.

Ian Zaffino: Correct.

Chris Lee: Our expected H2 versus last year's.

Speaker #4: Our expected second half versus last year. Yep.

Tom Surran: Prior year.

Chris Lee: Yep.

Speaker #3: Okay. We expect growth in the second half of the year in our HVAC market. In summary, and in terms of price and volume, looking at that, you made a comment—I just want to correct a perception that you thought the improvement in gross profitability was because of pricing.

Tom Surran: Okay. We expect growth in the H2 of the year in our HVAC market, in summary. In terms of price and volume, looking at that, you made a comment I just want to correct a perception that you thought that the improvement in gross profitability was because of pricing. I would not say that was a correct assumption. If you look at actually what happened in the prior quarter, price was not a contributor to margin at all.

Speaker #3: I would not say that was a correct assumption. If you look at what actually happened in the prior quarter, price was not a contributor to margin.

Speaker #3: At all.

Speaker #2: Okay, thanks. And then, just on the HVAC again, is this a benefit in the third quarter and the fourth quarter, or primarily in the fourth quarter?

Ian Zaffino: Okay, thanks. Then just on the HVAC again, is this a benefit in Q3 and Q4? Is it primarily in Q4? Maybe can you quantify it for us?

Speaker #2: Maybe can you quantify it for us?

Chris Lee: Hey, Ian. I think we provided a guidance in totality. We do not get down to the product level or channel level type of guidance. Look, I think Q3 of last year, those numbers are out there. You can set your estimates on what you think the growth is going to be. But I think what Tom just said is, the market is still a little bit muted.

Speaker #4: Hey, Ian, I think we've provided the guidance in totality. We don't get down to the product level or channel level type of guidance. Look, I think Q3 of last year, those numbers are out there.

Speaker #4: You can set your estimates on what you think the growth is going to be, but I think what Tom just said is the market is still a little bit muted.

Speaker #2: Okay. Thank you.

Ian Zaffino: Okay. Thank you.

Speaker #1: The next question comes from the line of Tomosano with J.P. Morgan. Your line is now open.

Operator: The next question comes from the line of Tomo Sano with J.P. Morgan. Your line is now open.

Operator: The next question comes from the line of Tomo Sano with JPMorgan. Your line is now open.

Speaker #5: Hello, Tom. Chris, congrats on the spin.

Tomo Sano: Hello, Tom, Chris. Congrats on the spin.

Speaker #4: Thank you.

Tom Surran: Thank you.

Speaker #3: Thank you, Tomo.

Chris Lee: Thank you, Tomo.

Speaker #5: Thank you.

Tomo Sano: Thank you.

Speaker #3: Nice having you on the call.

Chris Lee: Nice having you on the call.

Speaker #5: Could you talk about—thank you, thank you very much—could you talk about P&S gross margin again? If you look at the 70 basis point year-over-year change, could you break down a little bit more color—contribution from volume, manufacturing, supply chain, execution, productivity, mix, and pricing, and so on?

Tomo Sano: Thank you. Thank you very much. Could you talk about P&S gross margin again? If you look at the 70 basis point year-over-year, could you break down a little bit more color contribution from volume manufacturing, supply chain, executions, productivity mix, and pricing and so on? Tom, if you could add some color, what would you believe you did better than expected? Thank you.

Speaker #5: And Tom, if you could add some color what would you believe you did better than expected? Thank you.

Speaker #3: We haven't really gone into that level of detail in discussing our margins. I did disclose, and just talked about, the fact that pricing was not the contributor.

Tom Surran: We haven't really gone into that level of detail in discussing our margins. I did disclose and just talked about the fact that pricing was not the contributor. The volume in itself is a major contributor. If you really look at what happened in the profitability of the business, it was the execution and the efficiency of the operation. It's really the conversion cost and the conversion efficiency that drove the gross profit improvement. In the period, there were these inflationary costs that were offset generally by a little bit of tariff refund. Most of the pricing and inflationary costs will actually start hitting us Q3, Q4. In Q2, though, net was somewhat everything offset each other. All these one-time events kind of offset all of it. So we saw at the net of it, a pretty natural level of gross profitability.

Speaker #3: The volume in itself was a major contributor. If you really look at what happened in the profitability of the business, it was the execution and the efficiency of the operation.

Speaker #3: So, it’s really the conversion cost and the conversion efficiency that drove the gross profit improvement. And in the period, there were these inflationary costs that were generally offset by a little bit of tariff refund.

Speaker #3: Most of the pricing and inflationary costs will actually start hitting us Q3, Q4. In Q2, though, it net, net, net was somewhat everything offset each other.

Speaker #3: All these kind of one-time events kind of offset all of it. So we saw, at the net of it, a pretty natural level of gross profitability.

Speaker #3: And so, what really drove the improvement was the efficiency of the operations.

Tom Surran: What really drove the improvement was the efficiency of the operations.

Speaker #5: Thank you. And then follow-up is approach channel health. Tom, if you could talk about approach channel health, how should we look at a second quarter performance in the second half expectations?

Tomo Sano: Thank you. My follow-up is pro channel health. Tom, if you could talk about pro channel health, how should we look at the Q2 performance and the H2 expectations? If you could give us more color on active pros, retention, install time reductions, and any color appreciated. Thank you.

Speaker #5: If you could give a little more color on active process, retention, install time, reductions, and any additional detail would be appreciated. Thank you.

Speaker #3: Sure. The second half, so the pro—I think you're the pro—buys through all of the channels that we have. And really, all of our revenue is driven by the pro.

Tom Surran: Sure. The pro buys through all of the channels that we have. All of our revenue is driven by the pro. We do have some retail products. We believe that the primary customer, even at retail, is a professional. I think you are talking about the distribution channels probably more so than the retail channel. We expect in the H2 of the year for there to be growth in the distribution channel overall. I think we expect continued performance in retail as well. I think the one channel which we mentioned before that we expect the headwinds is that OEM security channel.

Speaker #3: We do have some retail products. We believe that the primary customer, even at retail, is a professional. So, I think you're talking about the distribution channels, probably more so than the retail channel.

Speaker #3: We expect, in the second half of the year, for there to be growth in the distribution channel overall. So, I think we expect continued performance in retail as well.

Speaker #3: I think the one channel which we mentioned before that we expect the headwinds is that OEM security channel.

Speaker #5: Thank you. I appreciate it.

Tomo Sano: Thank you. I appreciate it.

Tom Surran: Hope that answered. Okay, Tomo. Nice talking.

Speaker #3: Okay, Toma. Nice talking.

Speaker #1: The next question comes from the line of Jay Goldberg with D2D Advisory. Your line is now open.

Operator: The next question comes from the line of Jay Goldberg with D2D Advisory. Your line is now open.

Speaker #6: Hi, guys. Thanks for taking my question. I just want to follow up on a few comments that you made on the last questions and also in your prior remarks.

Jay Goldberg: Hi, guys. Thanks for taking my question. I just wanted to follow up on a few comments that you just on the last questions, and also you made in the prior remarks. I was hoping you would give us more color on what you are seeing in the end market. I get that OEM security is not good, but it sounds like some of the other end markets are looking much more positive, and I was hoping you could talk about those. Thanks.

Speaker #6: I was hoping you'd give us more color on what you're seeing in the end market. I get that OEM security is not good, but it sounds like some of the other end markets are looking much more positive.

Speaker #6: And I was hoping you could talk about those. Thanks.

Speaker #3: Sure. Thanks, Jay. And I also have you on the call. Okay. So, we think the market is kind of being a continuation of what we've seen today.

Tom Surran: Sure. Thanks, Jay. Nice to also have you on the call. We think the market is being a continuation of what we have seen today. We are not expecting the rising tide for the market to drive our performance. We are going to execute to drive our performance. Whether it is the housing market, we are certainly not seeing much change in the sales of existing homes. We are not seeing any improvement in the new home construction levels. When we look generally into the market of what people are expecting in the either HVAC or security market, it is fairly muted, and I think that is probably the best characterization we can put on it right now. Our goal is to out-execute the market, and that is what we are trying to do, and that is what we expect to do in the H2, again, with the exception of the OEM security market.

Speaker #3: We're not expecting the rising tide of the market to drive our performance. We're going to execute to drive our performance. And so whether it's the housing market, we're certainly not seeing much change in the sales of existing homes.

Speaker #3: We're not seeing any improvement in the new home construction levels. When we look generally into the market at what people are expecting in either the HVAC or security market, it's fairly muted.

Speaker #3: And I think that's probably the best characterization we can put on it right now. Our goal is to out-execute the market, and that's what we're trying to do.

Tom Surran: Our goal is to out-execute the market, and that is what we are trying to do, and that is what we expect to do in the H2, again, with the exception of the OEM security market.

Speaker #3: And that's what we expect to do in the second half, again, with the exception of the OEM security.

Speaker #4: And again, just to be clear, the lean into the OEM security—the commentary is about a large customer. So let's not paint the entirety of the opportunity in that channel negatively.

Chris Lee: Again, just to be clear, the lean into the OEM security, the commentary is about a large customer. Let us not paint the entirety of the opportunity in that channel negatively. It is one customer who is large that we are talking about.

Speaker #4: It's one customer who's large that we're talking about.

Speaker #6: Got it. That's it for me. Thank you.

Jay Goldberg: Got it. That is it for me. Thank you.

Speaker #1: The next question comes from the line of Dan Stradimeyer with Jefferies. Your line is now open.

Operator: The next question comes from the line of Dan Stratemeyer with Jefferies. Your line is now open.

Speaker #7: Hey guys, thanks for the follow-up. Just a question on the OEM customer. Is this like a one-off? What's the overall relationship like, I guess, with that customer?

Dan Stratemeyer: Hey, guys, thanks for the follow-up. Just a question on the OEM customer. Is this like a one-off? What is the overall relationship like, I guess, with that customer going forward?

Dan Stratemeier: Hey, guys, thanks for the follow-up. Just a question on the OEM customer. Is this like a one-off? What is the overall relationship like, I guess, with that customer going forward?

Speaker #7: Going forward.

Tom Surran: Dan, this is Tom responding. The relationship with the customer, I think, is healthy. I think they just have a different direction they are going. They are pursuing vertical integration. I think the products that we offer to them are still well accepted in the marketplace. I think that they like the product. I think they are just trying to do something different with their own business model. In terms of, you asked a little bit about the outlook. It sounded like you were trying to understand the trend. This clearly is going to have an impact, Q3 somewhat, Q4 more so. As we go into Q1 of next year, it will be a little more like the Q3 level, and by Q2, we would expect it to plateau. But long term, this is not a strategic business for us.

Speaker #3: Yeah, Dan, this is Tom responding. So, the relationship with the customer, I think, is healthy. I think they just have a different direction they're going.

Speaker #3: They're pursuing vertical integration. I think the products that we offer to them are still well accepted in the marketplace. I think that they like the product.

Speaker #3: I think they're just trying to do something different with their own business model. In terms of—you asked a little bit about the outlook. It sounded like you were trying to understand the trend.

Speaker #3: This clearly is going to have an impact in Q3 somewhat, Q4 more so. And then, as we go into kind of Q1 of next year, it'll be a little more like the Q3 level, and then by Q2, we would expect it to kind of plateau.

Speaker #3: But long-term, this is not a strategic business for us. This is a lower-margin business that's not branded Resideo, First Alert, or Honeywell Home.

Tom Surran: This is a lower margin business that is not branded Resideo or First Alert or Honeywell Home. It is sold by a third party, and it competes in a market where we create our own products. It competes in the general market with our own branded offerings. We expect this to have a little bit of a stairstep. We are under contractual obligations to execute with this, and we are going to do our best to provide great products to this customer, and the relationship is healthy. In terms of how we get along and everything is very positive on that. There are no problems at all related to that. It is just a strategic decision they have made in how they want to execute their business.

Speaker #3: It's sold by a third party, and it competes in a market where we create our own products that compete in the general market with our own branded offering.

Speaker #3: So we expect this to kind of have a little bit of a stair step. We are under contractual obligations to execute with this, and we're going to do our best to provide great products to this customer. The relationship is healthy.

Speaker #3: In terms of how we get along, everything is very positive on that. There are no problems at all related to that. It's just a strategic decision they've made in how they want to execute their business.

Speaker #4: And just one other point to cut, Dan—just one other point to clarify. This activity that Tom just mentioned is already baked into our medium-term financial targets that we presented at Investor Day.

Chris Lee: Dan, just one other point to clarify. This activity that Tom just mentioned is already baked into our medium-term financial targets that we presented at Investor Day.

Speaker #6: Oh, that's helpful. Thank you. So this is sort of separate, then, from your refresh that I believe is gaining momentum in your security line of branded products.

Dan Stratemeyer: Oh, that is helpful. Thank you. This is sort of separate then from your refresh that I believe is gaining momentum in your security line of branded products. We should think about this as completely separate than that, correct?

Dan Stratemeier: Oh, that is helpful. Thank you. This is sort of separate then from your refresh that I believe is gaining momentum in your security line of branded products. We should think about this as completely separate than that, correct?

Speaker #6: We should think about this completely separate from that, correct?

Tom Surran: Totally separate, Dan.

Speaker #3: Totally separate. Yeah, Dan, you got it. Totally separate.

Dan Stratemeyer: I apologize for.

Dan Stratemeier: I apologize for.

Tom Surran: Yeah, Dan, you got it. Totally separate.

Speaker #6: Okay, understood. Thank you, guys. Sorry for the follow-up. I appreciate it.

Dan Stratemeyer: Okay. Understood. Thank you, guys. Sorry for the follow-up. I appreciate it.

Dan Stratemeier: Okay. Understood. Thank you, guys. Sorry for the follow-up. I appreciate it.

Speaker #3: No, no, no. That was great. Thank you, Dan.
