STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">MIAMI, FLORIDA &#150; (BUSINESS WIRE), October&nbsp;1, 2012 &#150; Watsco, Inc. (NYSE:WSO) announced today that the Company&#146;s Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $5.00 per share,
totaling approximately $172 million, and a quarterly cash dividend of 62 cents per share, both payable on October&nbsp;31, 2012 to shareholders of record at the close of business on October&nbsp;15, 2012. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Watsco has paid dividends for over 35 consecutive years and has paid an increasing dividend over the last 11 years. The special dividend of $5.00
represents approximately two years of dividends based on the current annual dividend rate of $2.48 per share. The Company anticipates it will continue to pay quarterly cash dividends, but on a more moderate basis beginning in 2013, subject to the
Company&#146;s financial position, government tax policy and general economic conditions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Albert H. Nahmad, Watsco&#146;s Chairman&nbsp;&amp;
Chief Executive Officer stated, &#147;Our philosophy for sharing cash flow and the Company&#146;s wealth through dividends continues. In particular, payment of a special dividend of this magnitude recognizes the confidence we have in our Company and
our on-going capability to generate free cash flow. The convergence of our strong balance sheet, a low-cost of capital and the uncertainty of government tax policy beginning next year creates an opportunity to provide immense value to our
shareholders. Our financial position will remain conservative with continued capacity to make investments in our business and build our network.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="font-size:6px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px">&nbsp;</P><center>

and working environments with air conditioning and heating solutions that provide comfort regardless of the outdoor climate. Our solutions also promote healthier indoor spaces by removing pollutants from the indoor air that can lead to asthma,
allergies and reductions in productivity. Furthermore, since heating and cooling accounts for approximately 56% of the energy consumed in a typical United States home, we offer consumers the greatest opportunity to save money on energy by replacing
existing air conditioning and heating systems with more energy efficient and environmentally friendly solutions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There are approximately
89&nbsp;million central air conditioning and heating systems installed in the United States that have been in service for more than 10 years. Older systems often operate below today&#146;s government mandated energy efficiency and environmental
standards. Watsco has an opportunity to accelerate the replacement of these systems at a scale greater than our competitors as the movement toward reducing energy consumption and its environmental impact continues. We operate from more than 575
locations in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico, with additional market coverage on an export basis to Latin America and the Caribbean. As the industry leader, significant growth potential remains given that our current revenue
run-rate is less than 10% of the estimated $35 billion marketplace in the Americas for HVAC/R products. Additional information about Watsco may be found at <U>http://www.watsco.com</U>. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

Watsco&#146;s industry, seasonal nature of sales of Watsco&#146;s products, the ability of the Company to expand its business, insurance coverage risks and final GAAP adjustments. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement

important factors can be found in the documents that Watsco files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. </FONT></P>
