SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Aug. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Resideo Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: REZI), a leading global manufacturer and developer of technology-driven products and components that provide critical home comfort, energy management, and safety and security solutions and a leading wholesale distributor of low-voltage security, life safety, audio visual, data com, and other product categories, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to purchase up to $150 million of its common stock over an unlimited time period.

"We are pleased to announce the approval of a share repurchase program by our Board," stated Jay Geldmacher, Resideo's President and CEO. "We continue to see substantial opportunity for value creation at Resideo over the long-term. This includes the unique position we have with our professional channel and within the home. And the substantial opportunity to drive margin and profitability expansion through executing on cost and portfolio optimization opportunities. We do not believe our current share price reflects the quality of the business, progress made transforming the company over the past three years, or the significant additional opportunities that we continue to execute towards. We plan to execute the share repurchase program, taking into consideration market conditions, our business outlook, capital position, and liquidity, all while maintaining our strong balance sheet."

Under the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase up to $150 million of outstanding common stock over an unlimited time period. This authorization represents approximately 6% of Resideo's market capitalization based on the current share price.

During the pendency of the share repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time through various methods, including in open market transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, derivative transactions or otherwise, certain of which may be made pursuant to a trading plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws. The timing, as well as the number and value of shares repurchased under the program, will be determined by the Company at its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including our assessment of the intrinsic value of the Company's common stock, the market price of the Company's common stock, general market and economic conditions, available liquidity, compliance with the Company's debt and other agreements, applicable legal requirements, the nature of other investment opportunities available to the Company, and other considerations. The Company is not obligated to purchase any shares under the repurchase program, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The Company expects to fund the repurchases by using cash on hand and expected free cash flow to be generated in the future.
