The global security company Resideo's Q4 2021 numbers were down slightly over the same period the prior year. Resideo Technologies (NYSE: REZI) jumped more than 40% on Thursday after the smart home technology manufacturer posted better-than-expected third-quarter results.
Resideo reported quarterly earnings of 60 cents per share on revenue of $1.36 billion, which bested Wall Street’s consensus estimate for 5 cents per share in earnings on sales of $1.15 billion. Revenue increased 10% year over year.
On Oct. 30, the company paid the previously deferred (April 30) $35 million Honeywell reimbursement agreement payment, as well as the regularly scheduled reimbursement agreement payment of $35 million.
“Our revenue performance and the progress with our ongoing transformation and cost reduction initiatives enabled us to strengthen our liquidity position, and in late October we made all outstanding Reimbursement Agreement payments to Honeywell,” Jay Geldmacher, Resideo’s president and CEO, states in a press release.
“While we are closely monitoring our operations and supply chain for impacts related to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are encouraged by the strong demand trends we are seeing across our end markets as we close out 2020.”
