This press release includes certain “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Resideo management believes the use of such non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EPS, and Adjusted Cash Provided by Operations, assists investors in understanding the ongoing operating performance of Resideo by presenting the financial results between periods on a more comparable basis. See reconciliations of U.S. GAAP results to adjusted results in the accompanying tables.
Products and Solutions First Quarter 2026 Highlights
Net revenue of $706 million, up 9% compared to 2025Gross margin of 41.8%, up 40 basis points compared to 2025Income from operations of $128 million, compared to $136 million in 2025Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $177 million, or 25.1% of revenue, compared to $158 million, or 24.3% of revenue in 2025
P&S delivered net revenue of $706 million in the first quarter 2026, up 9% compared to first quarter 2025, including a favorable impact of approximately 200 basis points from foreign currency. Revenue grew year-over-year across substantially all our sales channels and product families. Revenue growth was driven by a combination of price realization, primarily in our OEM and security channels, and by customer demand for our new products, primarily in our retail and electrical distribution channels.
Gross margin was 41.8%, compared to 41.4% in first quarter 2025 due primarily to the continued achievement of structural operating efficiencies. Research and development expenses increased $9 million due primarily to investments supporting new product launches to drive future growth. Selling, general and administrative expenses were up $18 million driven primarily by a one-time litigation settlement. Restructuring expenses increased $7 million as we strategically optimize our global manufacturing footprint. Income from operations of $128 million in first quarter 2026 was down from $136 million in first quarter 2025 due primarily to the one-time litigation settlement and restructuring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA(1) grew 12% year-over-year to $177 million compared to $158 million in 2025.
ADI Global Distribution First Quarter 2026 Highlights
Net revenue of $1,206 million, up 8% compared to 2025Gross margin of 21.2%, down 40 basis points compared to 2025Income from operations of $34 million, compared to $34 million in 2025Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $66 million, or 5.5% of revenue, compared to $72 million or 6.4% of revenue in 2025
ADI first quarter 2026 net revenue of $1,206 million was up 8% year-over-year, and reflects average daily sales growth of 1% year-over-year and four extra sales days in the current quarter. Both growth metrics include an approximate 1% favorable impact from foreign currency. Net revenue growth was driven by demand in the security, professional audio-visual, and data communications categories, partially offset by the residential audio-visual category due primarily to a continued soft U.S. residential market. E-commerce revenue grew 12% year-over-year, driven primarily by greater customer adoption. Exclusive Brands revenue also grew 7% year-over-year driven by positive momentum for our new products.
Gross margin was 21.2%, compared to 21.6% in first quarter 2025 due primarily to higher fuel costs for freight and unfavorable product sales mix. Research and development expenses increased $4 million due primarily to investments supporting new product launches that are intended to drive future growth. Selling, general and administrative were up $13 million driven primarily by higher variable costs during the four extra sales days. Income from operations of $34 million in first quarter 2026 was consistent with first quarter 2025 results. Adjusted EBITDA(1) decreased 8% to $66 million compared to $72 million in 2025.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
Net cash used by operating activities was $145 million in first quarter 2026, compared to cash used in operating activities of $65 million in first quarter 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by business separation activities, higher cash interest paid, and working capital dynamics. At April 4, 2026, Resideo had cash and cash equivalents of $438 million and total outstanding debt of $3.23 billion.
Outlook
The Company re-affirms its full year 2026 outlook and initiates its outlook for the second quarter 2026.

Forward-Looking Statements
This release and the related conference call contain “forward-looking statements.” All statements, other than statements of fact, that address activities, events or developments that we or our management intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Although we believe forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, such statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may cause the actual results or performance of the Company to differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, (1) our ability to achieve our outlook regarding the second quarter 2026 and full year 2026, (2) our ability to recognize the expected savings from, and the timing and impact of, our existing and anticipated cost reduction actions, and our ability to optimize our portfolio and operational footprint, (3) the amount of our obligations and nature of our contractual restrictions pursuant to, and disputes that have or may hereafter arise under the agreements we entered into with Honeywell in connection with the spin-off of Resideo from Honeywell, (4) the ability of Resideo to drive increased customer value and financial returns and enhance strategic and operational capabilities, (5) risks and uncertainties relating to tariffs that have been or may be imposed by the United States and other governments, (6) risks related to our anticipated separation of Resideo Technologies’ Products & Solutions and ADI Global Distribution businesses into two independent publicly traded companies, including the timing thereof and that we may experience operational or other disruptions as a result of the separation and the planning therefor, and (7) the other risks described under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other periodic filings we make from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results, developments, and business decisions may differ from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date of this press release and we caution investors not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
This press release includes certain “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and in accordance with Regulation G thereunder. Management believes the use of such non-GAAP financial measures assists investors in understanding the ongoing operating performance of the Company by presenting financial results between periods on a more comparable basis. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an alternative to reported results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Readers should also consider the limitations associated with these non-GAAP financial measures, including the potential lack of comparability of these measures from one company to another.
We have included reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP at the end of this release. A reconciliation of the forecasted range for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings Per Share for the second quarter of 2026 and for the full year 2026 are not included in this release due to the number of variables in the projected range and because we are currently unable to quantify accurately without unreasonable efforts certain amounts that would be required to be included in the U.S. GAAP measure or the individual adjustments for such reconciliation. In addition, we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. However, for the second quarter of 2026 and full year 2026 respectively, we anticipate the following expenses in our GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation: depreciation and amortization of $53 million and $212 million, interest expense, net of $46 million and $181 million, and stock-based compensation expense of $14 million and $58 million.

Xiamen Builds Multi-Dimensional Development Platform to Smooth the Path for Hong Kong and Macao Talent to Pursue Dreams in the City
Published
1 hour agoon
August 1, 2026By
XIAMEN, China, July 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a news report by Hong Kong Ta Kung Wen Wei Media Group Limited:
The seventh annual Xiamen Talent Service Month, held without interruption, has officially kicked off. Centered on this year’s theme for young talent — “Young • Talented • Future-oriented” — the event features over 40 supporting activities, creating a platform for domestic and overseas young talent exchanges and development that reaches out globally and connects closely with Hong Kong and Macao. From top-level collaborative announcements to offline on-the-ground matchmaking, the initiative deepens Xiamen–Hong Kong sci–tech synergy in all dimensions, attracting young innovators from Hong Kong and Macao to put down roots in the island city.
On July 9, the launching ceremony of the “2026 Xiamen Talent Service Month” was officially held in Xiamen, Fujian, China. More than 200 participants gathered on site, including industry experts from home and abroad, research institutes, young entrepreneurs, and representatives of Hong Kong and Macao talent. The ceremony showcased the latest achievements of young researchers in science and technology, unveiled multiple youth talent development programs, and premiered the city’s talent promotional video “Stride into Youth, Strive in Xiamen”, extending a sincere invitation to young talent from Hong Kong, Macao, and around the world to start businesses, pursue innovation, and realize their dreams in Xiamen.
Xiamen has been consistently expanding its network of international talent service stations, including those in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, and proactively engaging with top-notch sci–tech innovation resources in Hong Kong and Macao. At the ceremony, the “Hong Kong Young Scientists Xiamen Science and Technology Service Program” was unveiled as a major initiative, becoming a key lever to deepen sci–tech integration between Hong Kong and Xiamen and bring in innovative forces from Hong Kong. In its first phase, the program has joined forces with four cutting-edge innovation platforms: the State Key Laboratory of Display and Optoelectronics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), the State Key Laboratory of Emerging Infectious Diseases at the University of Hong Kong, the Jockey Club Innovative Laboratory for Future Energy Systems at City University of Hong Kong, and the Physics Artificial Intelligence Research Center at HKUST. The collaboration focuses on industry–university joint technological breakthroughs, transfer and commercialization of research outcomes, and co–establishment of joint laboratories. Mr. Lin Yanhong, Assistant Director of the HKUST State Key Laboratory of Display and Optoelectronics, noted that the laboratory has already worked with Xiamen “Double-Hundred Plan” talent enterprise StarCent Integrated Technology to overcome the industry bottleneck of “difficulty in balancing small size and high optical power.” He added that the program will continue to organize Hong Kong young scientists to bring high-quality research projects to Xiamen for follow–up landing and implementation.
Concurrently, Xiamen launched the “International Youth Sci–Tech Envoys Exchange Program,” which builds an open and collaborative international network for young sci–tech innovators through talent development programs, joint research initiatives, and BRICS sci–tech innovation cooperation. Tan Kah Kee Innovation Laboratory introduced the “30+ Entrepreneurship Talent Project,” selecting key youth sci–tech innovation projects worldwide in fields such as hydrogen energy, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and next–generation displays, providing top–tier research facilities and incubation support for young research teams at home and abroad. All districts and municipal departments are rolling out a rich array of supporting activities, fostering a sustained “every month is a service month” atmosphere for talent attraction and improving the whole–chain service system for bringing in, nurturing, retaining, and utilizing young talent from both within and outside China.
As a key on–site activity under the “Hong Kong Young Scientists Xiamen Science and Technology Service Program,” the “Young • Talented • Future-oriented — Hong Kong Young Scientists Xiamen Tour & Tong’an Youth Talent Integration and Innovation Event” opened successfully on the morning of July 21. Thirty–two young Ph.D. holders and postdoctoral researchers from HKUST’s key laboratories and the Hong Kong Young Scientists Association gathered in Xiamen, Fujian, China, for a two–way, in–depth sci–tech dialogue between the two cities.
At the event, multiple municipal and district authorities jointly held a dedicated policy briefing. On the one hand, they presented Xiamen’s talent policies, sci–tech innovation support measures, and investment–promotion regulations, delivering comprehensive and detailed policy information to the attending Hong Kong young doctors. On the other hand, with a focus on key industrial sectors such as optoelectronics, new energy, and new materials, they gave a full picture of Xiamen’s well–developed industrial innovation chain, showcasing the city’s appealing ecosystem for young professionals to live and work in. During the achievement–sharing and project roadshow segment, Xiamen talent enterprise StarCent Integrated Technology shared practical experience in commercializing research results, while five Hong Kong young doctors presented high–potential sci–tech projects in optoelectronic displays, new materials, and new energy frontiers, detailing their core technologies, mature research outcomes, and industrialization plans in Xiamen. On–site government bodies, enterprises, and research institutions engaged in targeted matchmaking with the Hong Kong teams, exploring diverse cooperation opportunities.
During their stay in Xiamen, the Hong Kong young scientist delegation conducted field visits to frontline industries, touring leading companies such as Meitu, Hithium, and Contemporary Amperex Technology (Xiamen) to gain first–hand insights into industry development and enterprise needs. They also visited high–end research facilities including the Xiamen Science City Incubator and Tan Kah Kee Innovation Laboratory, experiencing firsthand Xiamen’s comprehensive industrial support, innovation platforms, and youth entrepreneurship nurturing systems.
In addition, our reporter learned that the “Gathering Talent in Fujian, Attracting the World — 2026 Global Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition” is being hosted by Xiamen.
Since its registration announcement in May, the competition has drawn widespread attention from overseas innovators and entrepreneurs. Aligned with Fujian Province’s “555X” industrial system, the competition features three tracks — electronic information, biotechnology, and advanced manufacturing — and offers special talent policy support, aiming to discover and cultivate outstanding talent and projects. A total of 1,756 overseas talents from 53 countries and regions worldwide registered, with 1,184 meeting the eligibility criteria, including 142 from Hong Kong and Macao, of whom 60% hold doctoral degrees. The submitted projects are concentrated in frontier fields such as artificial intelligence, high–end medical devices, and new materials, closely matching Fujian’s key development industries. During the registration period, the organizing committee also held a dedicated promotional event in Hong Kong to help talent better understand the competition and prepare thoroughly.
Currently, the organizing committee is accelerating the preliminary rounds and will hold the finals in Xiamen in September during the China International Fair for Investment and Trade, accompanied by supporting activities including investment–financing matchmaking and industrial site visits, so as to connect participating talent teams with landing resources and expand their development opportunities. The committee sincerely invites Hong Kong and Macao talent to keep following the competition’s progress, actively engage in project matchmaking, and share in Fujian’s innovation–driven development opportunities.
Young people are the core driving force behind scientific and technological innovation. From the launch ceremony of the Xiamen Talent Service Month, which unveiled a long–term Xiamen–Hong Kong sci–tech cooperation mechanism, to the simultaneous provincial–level “Gathering Talent in Fujian, Attracting the World” Global Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition that creates new talent–attraction channels, and to the dedicated events that seamlessly connect policy briefings, project roadshows, and industrial site visits — this series of initiatives has broken down multiple barriers between talent, industry, research, competitions, and commercialization across the two cities. It truly achieves the goal of “gathering talent through competitions, attracting wisdom through talent, empowering through wisdom, and boosting industry through innovation.” Leveraging international talent service stations, cross–border sci–tech cooperation programs, regular talent exchange activities, and provincial–level entrepreneurship competition platforms, Xiamen continues to build a one–stop, multi–dimensional development platform for Hong Kong and Macao youth, smoothing the passage for outstanding talents from Hong Kong and Macao to pursue their dreams and careers in Xiamen. Backed by a strong industrial foundation, high–quality talent policies, comprehensive research facilities, and an inclusive urban environment, Xiamen is deepening collaborative development for talent from both home and abroad, and eagerly looks forward to welcoming more young scientists from Hong Kong and Macao to settle and grow in the city, joining hands to create a future of scientific and technological innovation.

GreenCore Solutions Corp. (GSC) Launches — Agency Partner Program (APP) — AI Agents for Agency CPG Clients
Published
5 hours agoon
August 1, 2026By
At 9.5 million AI Agent transactions a month, GSC leads the market — the right choice for white-label B2B in CPG and retail grocery, the accounts agencies already know well. Agencies are the known experts of the CPG space, and B2B just went agentic — 4–6x the B2C market. Let’s do B2B together: your brand, under 10 days to live.
VANCOUVER, BC, LONDON and SYDNEY, Aug. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ –GreenCore Solutions Corp. (GSC) today announced the GSC Agency Partner Program (APP) — a white-label partner program that lets advertising agencies power their Beauty & Personal Care (BPC) clients in consumer packaged goods (CPG) B2B agentic procurement. Under APP, GSC white-labels its AI Agents, the CPG Knowledge Graph, and per-client telemetry beneath the agency’s own brand: the agency keeps its accounts, its rate card, and its name on every surface, while GSC runs the managed services on the back end. The program opens a new recurring B2B revenue line for agencies — and a procurement edge at the retail grocery gates — for the clients they already own.
For fifty years, agencies monetized the consumer half of commerce. The other half just changed sides first: Gartner’s Strategic Predictions for 2026 projects that by 2028, 90% of B2B buying will be AI-agent intermediated, pushing over $15 trillion of B2B spend through agent exchanges — with traditional SEO and PPC giving way to agent engine optimization as products become machine-readable and procurement shifts to autonomous machine-to-machine transactions. Cloudflare Radar confirms the traffic has already turned: agentic traffic passed human traffic on the open internet in June 2026 and stands at roughly 60% today. AI agents do not read advertisements. APP gives agencies the successor product line.
What Agencies White-Label
Every APP partner operates on the production estate GSC already runs at scale: the CPG Knowledge Graph — 2 billion resolved datapoints spanning 38,350 BPC brands, 15,495 makers, and 15,688 retail grocery banners with 3.29 million points of sale across 50 global markets — carrying 9.5 million+ inbound AI Agent transactions a month, an estimated 15–20% of the world’s agentic grocery procurement traffic. Agencies receive an agency-branded partner portal, agent JSONs and ghost headers carrying their own name, machine-readable catalog feeds, and client dashboards streaming the per-client agent telemetry the Web 2.0 measurement stack cannot see. GSC never appears client-side.
Four MCP Servers, Two Open Protocols
APP runs on the protocols SAP, Google, and Microsoft standardized on for agentic commerce — MCP and A2A — through four MCP servers: the Catalog MCP (the CPG Knowledge Graph, live at mcp.cpgknowledgegraph.ai), the Procurement MCP (the retail grocery gate, with a human command on every purchase order via GSC Navigator), the Telemetry MCP (per-client agent traffic and transactions), and the Partner MCP (each agency’s own agent card and endpoint — the agency itself, discoverable in the agent economy under its own brand). Buying agents meet the program on its dedicated machine surface, gsc-agency.io — an AI Agent surface, not a website for humans.
Book → Brand → Market → Live
Onboarding is a conversation, not a construction project. Agencies map their BPC and CPG client book against the graph — most clients are very likely already mapped — take delivery of their white-label identity, and choose their level: local, regional, or global, across 50 markets in the Americas, UK, EU, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific. The first client is live in the agentic B2B procurement market in under 10 days, billed on the agency’s paper at the agency’s rate card. Against a global 3:1 shortage of the AI software engineering specialists this stack requires, the build-or-partner math is short: DIY waits; partners ship. And everything lands with sustainability and local delivery built in — hyperscale-grade security on Microsoft Azure, served from GSC’s in-region sovereign nodes, at up to 80% lower token use and energy than the generalist norm.
“Agencies are the masters of audiences — and GSC arrives holding a new one: 9.5 million agent transactions a month,” said Matthew Keddy, CEO, GreenCore Solutions Corp. (GSC). “We arm your agency with fleets of B2B AI Agents — CPG and Beauty & Personal Care (BPC), straight to retail grocery procurement, where grocery spends over $2 trillion a year. Come to the B2B side: bring your best and brightest, put our AI Agent Stack under your brand, and expand your agentic portfolio — your agency, your accounts, your clients, with GSC working the back end quietly. Here’s the audience. Call us — we’ll meet you. 3.29 million retail points of sale across 15,688 banners are waiting — partner local, regional, or global.”
Availability
The GSC Agency Partner Program launches as a limited, exclusive market run for advertising agencies with Beauty & Personal Care and CPG client portfolios — starting in London, UK (uk.gsc-agency.ai); Paris, France (eu.gsc-agency.ai); and Mexico City, Mexico (latam.gsc-agency.ai) — partnering at local, regional, or global level across 50 markets. Placements are limited per market. Agencies start the conversation at gsc-agency.ai for more insights. Thousands of GSC AI Agents stand pre-positioned on Microsoft Azure, in each region — ready for APP fleets from day one.

OneGov Launches “Pro”: A Dedicated Research Desk on Every Seat for Government Affairs Teams
Published

July 31, 2026By
New tier brings AI Deep Research, policy dossiers, and committee intelligence to legislative professionals across all 50 states and Congress
AUSTIN, Texas, July 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OneGov, the 50-state legislative intelligence platform, today announced the launch of OneGov Pro, a new tier built for government affairs teams that need to go deeper than tracking. Pro turns the everyday work of a research analyst — the kind that used to take a week of desk work — into cited answers and briefing-ready dossiers the same afternoon.
“Everything in OneGov, plus a research desk for teams that go deeper,” is how the company frames it. Where the core platform tracks bills, members, and committees across every state, Pro layers on the heaviest research and monitoring tools — on every seat.
A dedicated research analyst, on retainer
At the center of Pro are two flagship capabilities:
Deep Research — AI-powered, citation-backed answers to hard policy questions across every state and Congress. Ask the questions that used to take days; get research-grade answers with sources in seconds.Policy Dossiers — comprehensive, AI-generated issue briefs on any policy area, produced in minutes rather than weeks.
Pro extends well beyond research. The tier also includes:
AI Committee Intelligence — search committee summaries in natural language to surface emerging trends and policy risks, with saved and scheduled recurring queries.Statutes & Regulations monitoring — search state statutes and administrative rules, with automatic rulemaking alerts when proposed rules match tracked bill keywords.Lobbyist and company tracking — alerts the moment lobbyists capture testimony or change clients, plus monitoring of the organizations connected to your issues.Scheduled branded reports, shared workspaces, in-app team chat, a live-action feed window, and integrations with Slack, Google Drive, Outlook, OneDrive, Claude, and Codex.Predictive Voting (Beta) — AI vote forecasting built on district demographics, member history, and past voting patterns.
Basic coverage. Pro intelligence.
OneGov Pro is an optional per-seat upgrade — teams can mix standard and Pro seats, so the people doing the deepest work get the deepest tools without changing everyone’s plan.
“Great government affairs teams have always had a research analyst they wish they could clone. Pro is that analyst — on every seat. Ask the hard question in the morning and have a cited, briefing-ready answer in minutes, across all 50 states and Congress.” — William Fish, Founder & CEO, OneGov
