(unaudited)

1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Business

ADT Inc. (formerly named Prime Security Services Parent Inc.) (“the Company” or “ADT Inc.”), a company incorporated in the State of Delaware, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, is a leading provider of monitored security and interactive home and business automation solutions in the United States (or “U.S.”) and Canada. The Company is majority-owned by Prime Security Services TopCo Parent, L.P. (“Ultimate Parent”). Ultimate Parent is owned by Apollo Investment Fund VIII, L.P. and related funds that are directly or indirectly managed by Apollo Global Management, LLC, its subsidiaries, and its affiliates (“Apollo” or the “Sponsor”), and management investors.

On July 1, 2015, the Company acquired Protection One, Inc. and ASG Intermediate Holding Corp. (collectively, the “Formation Transactions”), which were instrumental in the formation of the Company. Prior to the Formation Transactions, the Company was a holding company with no assets or liabilities. On May 2, 2016, the Company acquired The ADT Security Corporation (formerly named The ADT Corporation) (“The ADT Corporation”) (“ADT Acquisition”). The Company primarily conducts business under the ADT brand name.

In January 2018, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) and its common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ADT.”

Significant Accounting Policies

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require the Company to select accounting policies and make estimates that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. The Company’s estimates are based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or market conditions.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The interim results reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements should not be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for future interim periods or the full year. For a more comprehensive understanding of the Company and its interim results, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“2018 Annual Report”), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 11, 2019. The Company’s accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements do not differ from those used for the annual financial statements, unless otherwise noted.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all the footnote disclosures from the annual financial statements.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

The Company has one operating and reportable segment, which is based on the manner in which the Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, evaluates performance and makes decisions about how to allocate resources.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

The following table provides a reconciliation of the amount of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total of the same such amounts shown in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:



(in thousands)	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Cash and cash equivalents	$	95,680	$	363,177
Restricted cash and cash equivalents in prepaid expenses and other current assets	1,178		3,985
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	96,858	$	367,162

Subscriber System Assets, net and Deferred Subscriber Acquisition Costs, net

The Company capitalizes certain costs associated with transactions in which the Company retains ownership of the security system as well as incremental selling expenses related to acquiring customers. These costs include equipment, installation costs, and other incremental costs and are recorded in subscriber system assets, net and deferred subscriber acquisition costs, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These assets embody a probable future economic benefit as they contribute to the generation of future monitoring and related services revenue for the Company.

Subscriber system assets represent capitalized equipment and installation costs incurred in connection with transactions in which the Company retains ownership of the security system. Upon customer termination, the Company may retrieve such assets. Depreciation expense relating to subscriber system assets was $140 million and $136 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is included in depreciation and intangible asset amortization in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The gross carrying amount, accumulated depreciation, and net carrying amount of the Company’s subscriber system assets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:



(in thousands)	March 31, 2019			December 31, 2018
Gross carrying amount	$	4,453,913		$	4,304,279
Accumulated depreciation	(1,535,019		)	(1,396,578		)
Subscriber system assets, net	$	2,918,894		$	2,907,701

Deferred subscriber acquisition costs, net represent incremental selling expenses (primarily commissions) related to acquiring customers. Amortization expense relating to deferred subscriber acquisition costs included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was $18 million and $13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Subscriber system assets and any related deferred subscriber acquisition costs resulting from customer acquisitions are accounted for on a pooled basis based on the month and year of acquisition. The Company amortizes its pooled subscriber system assets and related deferred subscriber acquisition costs using an accelerated method over the estimated life of the customer relationship, which is 15 years.

Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities—Accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 consist of the following:



(in thousands)	March 31, 2019		December 31, 2018
Accrued interest	$	134,530	$	85,046
Payroll-related accruals	68,439		105,089
Other accrued liabilities	223,108		207,944
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	$	426,077	$	398,079

Radio Conversion Costs

In February 2019, the Company received notice from AT&T, the Company’s largest wireless network provider, that it will be retiring its 3G network by the first quarter of 2022, which is also the year the Code-Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) network used to provide services to some of the Company’s customers is being retired. The Company currently provides services to approximately 4 million customer sites that use 3G or CDMA cellular equipment, which number is diminishing on a monthly basis in the ordinary course of business due to attrition, upgrades, and repairs. The Company’s plans to address this three-year transition are not yet finalized, and the impact involves numerous estimates and variables. Among other factors, the Company will look to

reduce any applicable costs to the Company, such as hardware costs currently estimated to be less than $90 per site, by exploring cost-sharing opportunities, working with suppliers, carriers and customers, and to increase revenue by using the transition as an opportunity to sell new products and services in conjunction with replacing the radio and to more rapidly transition customers to the Company’s new Command and Control technology.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt, and derivative financial instruments. Due to their short-term and/or liquid nature, the fair values of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their respective carrying values.

Cash Equivalents - Included in cash and cash equivalents are investments in money market mutual funds, which totaled $7 million and $221 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. These investments are classified as Level 1 for purposes of fair value measurement.

Long-Term Debt Instruments - The fair values of the Company’s debt instruments are determined using broker-quoted market prices, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

The carrying value and fair value of the Company’s long-term debt instruments that are subject to fair value disclosures as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:



	March 31, 2019				December 31, 2018
(in thousands)	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Debt instruments, excluding capital lease obligations	$	9,651,511	$	9,847,788	$	9,952,385	$	9,828,274

Derivative Financial Instruments - Derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These fair values are primarily calculated using discounted cash flow analysis valuation techniques that incorporate observable inputs, such as quoted forward interest rates, and incorporate credit risk adjustments to reflect the risk of default by the counterparty or the Company. The inputs to these valuations are considered Level 2 inputs. Refer to Note 8 “Derivative Financial Instruments” for further discussion.

Guarantees

In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. The Company does not believe such obligations will significantly affect its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no material guarantees other than $57 million and $54 million, respectively, primarily in standby letters of credit related to its insurance programs.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases, and related amendments, require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for substantially all leases and to disclose key information about leasing arrangements and aligns certain underlying principles of the lessor model with the revenue standard. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2019 using the optional transition method, which allows entities to apply the guidance at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, if any, in the period of adoption with no restatement of comparative periods. As part of the adoption, the Company has elected to apply the package of transitional practical expedients under which the Company will not reassess prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs of existing leases as of the date of adoption. Additionally, the Company has elected lessee and lessor practical expedients to not separate non-lease components from lease components. The Company did not elect to apply the hindsight transitional practical expedient to reassess the lease terms of existing lease arrangements as of the date of adoption or the short-term lease recognition exemption.

Upon transition to the guidance as of the date of adoption, the Company recognized operating lease liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, with a corresponding amount of right-of-use assets, net of amounts reclassified from other assets and liabilities that are required to be presented as a component of operating lease liabilities or right-of-use assets. Refer to Note 13 “Leases” further discussion regarding the amount of operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognized as of the date

of adoption. Further, the adoption did not have a material effect on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Cash Flows.

The net impact of the adoption to the line items in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was as follows:



(in thousands)	December 31, 2018		Lease Standard Adoption Adjustment			January 1, 2019
Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	129,811	$	(885	)	$	128,926
Intangible assets, net	7,488,194		(658		)	7,487,536
Other assets	120,279		125,170			245,449

Liabilities
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	398,079		29,460			427,539
Other liabilities	140,604		94,167			234,771

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company expects to have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements, except as otherwise noted in our 2018 Annual Report.

2. Revenue

The Company generates revenue primarily through contractual monthly recurring fees received for monitoring and related services provided to customers. In transactions in which the Company provides monitoring and related services but retains ownership of the security systems, the Company’s performance obligations primarily include monitoring, related services (such as maintenance agreements), and a material right associated with the non-refundable fees received in connection with the initiation of a monitoring contract (referred to as deferred subscriber acquisition revenue) that the customer will not need to pay upon a renewal of the contract. The portion of the transaction price associated with monitoring and related services revenue is recognized when the services are provided to the customer and is reflected in monitoring and related services revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Deferred subscriber acquisition revenue is deferred and recorded as deferred subscriber acquisition revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets upon initiation of a monitoring contract. Deferred subscriber acquisition revenue is amortized on a pooled basis into installation and other revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the estimated life of the customer relationship using an accelerated method consistent with the amortization of subscriber system assets and deferred subscriber acquisition costs associated with the transaction. Amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition revenue was $24 million and $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

In transactions involving security systems that are sold outright to the customer, the Company’s performance obligations generally include monitoring, related services, and the sale and installation of the security systems. For such arrangements, the Company allocates a portion of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative standalone selling price. Revenue associated with the sale and installation of security systems is recognized once installation is complete and is reflected in installation and other revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue associated with monitoring and related services is recognized as those services are provided and is reflected in monitoring and related services revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Customer billings for services not yet rendered are deferred and recognized as revenue as services are provided. These fees are recorded as current deferred revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company expects to satisfy any remaining performance obligations, as well as recognize the related revenue, within the next twelve months. Accordingly, the Company has applied the practical expedient regarding deferred revenue to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations if (i) the contract has an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) the Company recognizes revenue in proportion to the amount it has the right to invoice for services performed.

The following table sets forth the Company’s revenues disaggregated by source:



	For the Three Months Ended

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company paid $54 million, net of cash acquired, related to business acquisitions, which resulted in the preliminary recognition of $23 million of goodwill and $15 million of contracts and related customer relationships. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company paid $36 million, net of cash acquired, related to business acquisitions, which resulted in the recognition of $12 million of goodwill and $13 million of contracts and related customer relationships.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company had $400 million in available borrowing capacity under revolving credit facilities.

Significant changes in the Company’s debt during the three months ended March 31, 2019 were as follows:

Prime Notes

On February 1, 2019, the Company redeemed $300 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 9.250% second-priority senior secured notes due 2023 (“Prime Notes”) for a total redemption price of approximately $319 million, which included the related call premium. The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $22 million related to the call premium and the partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs. The Company redeemed an additional $1 billion aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Prime Notes in April 2019 as part of the Company’s debt refinancing transactions discussed below.

Mizuho Bank Revolving Credit Facility

On February 15, 2019, the Company entered into a first lien revolving credit agreement with an aggregate available commitment of up to $50 million maturing on March 16, 2023 (“Mizuho Bank Revolving Credit Facility”). The Mizuho Bank Revolving Credit Facility was terminated and replaced in April 2019 as part of the Company’s debt refinancing transactions discussed below.

Subsequent Event Debt Refinancing

In April 2019, the Company issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.250% first-priority senior secured notes due 2024 (“First Lien Notes due 2024”) and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.750% first-priority senior secured notes due 2026 (First Lien Notes due 2026”). The proceeds from the First Lien Notes due 2024 and the First Lien Notes due 2026, along with cash on hand and borrowings under a first lien revolving credit facility, were used to (a) repurchase $1 billion aggregate

principal amount of the Prime Notes, (b) repay $500 million aggregate principal amount of the first lien term loan due May 2, 2022 (“First Lien Term B-1 Loan”), and (c) pay fees and expenses associated with the foregoing, including early call premiums on the Prime Notes as well as accrued and unpaid interest on the repurchased Prime Notes and repaid borrowings under the First Lien Term B-1 Loan.

In connection with the $500 million repayment of the First Lien Term B-1 Loan, the Company amended and restated the first lien credit agreement (“First Lien Credit Agreement”) governing the First Lien Term B-1 Loan to (a) authorize the incurrence of the First Lien Notes due 2024 and First Lien Notes due 2026 by amending the Net First Lien Leverage Ratio for the incurrence of pari passu indebtedness to 3.20 to 1.00 (from 2.35 to 1.00), (b) provide for $300 million of additional incremental pari passu debt capacity, (c) increase the borrowing capacity under a first lien revolving credit facility by an additional $50 million, which replaced the Mizuho Bank Revolving Credit Facility, and (d) make several other changes to provide the Company with additional flexibility to de-lever its balance sheet and opportunistically refinance existing indebtedness. Further, as a result of the $500 million repayment, the Company will no longer have a quarterly principal payment obligation on the First Lien Term B-1 Loan.

The First Lien Notes due 2024 will mature on April 15, 2024 with semi-annual interest payment dates of February 15 and August 15, while the First Lien Notes due 2026 will mature on April 15, 2026 with semi-annual interest payment dates of March 15 and September 15, and both may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The First Lien Notes due 2024 and the First Lien Notes due 2026 are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured first-priority basis, by each of the Company’s existing and future direct or indirect wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the First Lien Credit Agreement (as amended). In addition, the indentures governing the First Lien Notes due 2024 and the First Lien Notes due 2026 contain covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things: (i) incur certain liens; (2) enter into sale leaseback transactions; and (3) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. Additionally, upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, the Company must offer to repurchase the notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. The notes also provide for customary events of default.

6. Income Taxes

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company did not have a significant change to its unrecognized tax benefits. The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits relate to tax years that remain subject to audit by the taxing authorities in the U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign jurisdictions. Based on the current status of its income tax audits, the Company does not believe that a significant portion of its unrecognized tax benefits will be resolved in the next twelve months.

Effective Tax Rate

The Company’s income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $22 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.2%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal income tax rate of 21.0% and a 3.1% favorable impact associated with the resolution of open tax years.

The Company’s income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 4.6%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal income tax rate of 21.0%, a 23.4% unfavorable impact of future non-deductible share-based compensation, an 11.0% unfavorable impact of permanent non-deductible expenses primarily associated with the Company’s prior mandatorily redeemable preferred securities, offset by a 16.1% favorable impact of tax adjustments related to prior year state returns filed during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

The effective tax rate reflects the tax impact of permanent items, state tax expense, changes in tax laws, and non-U.S. net earnings. The effective tax rate can vary from period to period due to permanent tax adjustments, discrete items such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws, as well as recurring factors such as changes in the overall effective state tax rate.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Obligations

As of March 31, 2019, there have been no material changes to the Company’s purchase obligations outside the ordinary course of business as compared to December 31, 2018, except as described below.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company amended an agreement with a wireless network provider, which resulted in a fixed purchase obligation totaling approximately $80 million through 2022.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to various claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, including from time to time, contractual disputes, employment matters, product and general liability claims, claims that the Company has infringed on the intellectual property rights of others, claims related to alleged security system failures, and consumer and employment class actions. The Company is also subject to regulatory and governmental examinations, information requests and subpoenas, inquiries, investigations, and threatened legal actions and proceedings. In connection with such formal and informal inquiries, the Company receives numerous requests, subpoenas, and orders for documents, testimony, and information in connection with various aspects of its activities.

The Company records accruals for losses that it believes are probable to occur and are reasonably estimable. These accruals are based on judgment, the probability of losses, and where applicable, the consideration of opinions of internal and/or external legal counsel and actuarially determined estimates. Legal costs in connection with claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business are expensed as incurred. Additionally, the Company records insurance recovery receivables from third-party insurers when recovery has been determined to be probable. The Company’s accrual for ongoing legal proceedings is not material and in most cases the Company has not accrued for any losses as the ultimate outcome or the range of possible loss cannot be estimated.

Environmental Matters

In October 2013, an ADT subsidiary was notified by subpoena that the Office of the Attorney General of California, in conjunction with the Alameda County District Attorney, is investigating whether certain of the subsidiary’s electronic waste disposal policies, procedures, and practices are in violation of the California Business and Professions Code and the California Health and Safety Code. During 2016, Protection One was also notified by the same parties that it was subject to a similar investigation. The investigations have been inactive since December 2016; however, the California authorities recently proposed a settlement conference for late May 2019. The Company is coordinating joint handling of both investigations and continues to fully cooperate with the respective authorities.

Wireless Encryption Litigation

The Company is subject to five class action claims regarding wireless encryption in certain ADT security systems. Jurisdictionally, three of the five cases are in Federal Court (in districts within Illinois, Arizona, and California), and both of the remaining two cases are in Florida State Court (both in Palm Beach County Circuit Court). Each of the five plaintiffs brought a claim under the respective state’s consumer fraud statute alleging that The ADT Corporation and each of its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the ADT Acquisition made misrepresentations and material omissions in its advertising regarding the unencrypted wireless signal pathways in certain security systems monitored by The ADT Corporation. The complaints in all five cases further allege that certain security systems monitored by The ADT Corporation are not secure because the wireless signal pathways are unencrypted and can be easily hacked. In January 2017, the parties agreed to settle all five class action lawsuits. In October 2017, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California entered an order granting preliminary approval of the settlement. Notice to class members was issued in November 2017, and the settlement is currently in the administration process. A fairness hearing regarding the settlement was conducted in February 2018. The Court took the matter under advisement and subsequently stayed the settlement proceedings pending an appellate ruling on a related legal issue. The deadline for filing claims expired in February 2018. Final approval of the settlement remains pending as a result of the stay. The settlement administrator will not pay any claims until the Court enters an order granting final approval of the settlement.

Shareholder Litigation

Five substantially similar shareholder class action lawsuits related to the January 2018 IPO of ADT Inc. common stock were filed in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida in March, April, and May 2018 and have been consolidated for discovery and trial and entitled In re ADT Inc. Shareholder Litigation. The lead plaintiffs seek to represent a class of similarly situated shareholders and assert claims for alleged violations of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). The plaintiffs allege that the Company defendants violated the Securities Act because the registration statement and prospectus used to effectuate the IPO were false and misleading in that they allegedly misled investors with respect to litigation involving the Company, the Company’s efforts to protect its intellectual property, and the competitive pressures faced by the Company. The defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated complaint in October 2018. The Court has not yet set a date for argument on the motions. A similar shareholder class action lawsuit entitled Perdomo v ADT Inc., also related to the January 2018 IPO was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in May 2018, for which the plaintiff filed an Amended

Complaint in January 2019 as directed by the Court. The defendants moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint in March 2019. The motions are fully briefed, and defendants have requested argument on the motions.

California Independent Contractor Litigation

In August 2017, Jabra Shuheiber filed civil litigation in Marin County Superior Court on behalf of himself and two other individuals asserting wage and hour violations against the Company. The action is entitled Jabra Shuheiber v. ADT, LLC (Case Number CV 1702912, Superior Court, Marin County). Mr. Shuheiber was the owner/operator of a sub-contractor, Maximum Protection, Inc. (“MPI”), who employed the other two plaintiffs in the litigation. In August 2018, in response to the California Supreme Court’s decision in Dynamex Operations West, Inc. v. Superior Court of Los Angeles County, counsel for Mr. Shuheiber provided the Company with a proposed amended complaint that modified the wage and hour claims such that they were brought on a class basis. The proposed class is not clearly defined but appears to be composed of two groups of individuals: 1) individual owners of sub-contractors who performed services for the sub-contractor; and 2) individuals with no ownership interest in a sub-contractor who were employed by the sub-contractor and provided services pursuant to a contract between the sub-contractor and the Company. In October 2018, the Company answered Plaintiffs First Amended Complaint and filed a Cross-Complaint against Plaintiff’s sub-contracting company for indemnification pursuant to the term of ADT’s sub-contract.

Los Angeles Alarm Permit Class Action

In June 2013, an ADT subsidiary was served with a class action complaint in California State Court entitled Villegas v. ADT. In this complaint, the plaintiff asserted that the ADT subsidiary violated certain provisions of the California Alarm Act and the Los Angeles Municipal Alarm Ordinance for its alleged failures to obtain alarm permits for its Los Angeles customers and disclose the alarm permit fee in its customer contracts. The plaintiff seeks to recover damages for putative class members who were required to pay enhanced false alarm fines as a result of the ADT subsidiary not obtaining a valid alarm permit at the time of alarm system installation. The case was initially dismissed by the trial court and judgment was entered in the ADT subsidiary’s favor in October 2014, which the plaintiff appealed. In September 2016, the California Appellate Court reversed and remanded the case back to the trial court. In November 2018, the trial court granted the plaintiff’s motion for class certification and certified four subclasses of customers who received fines from the City of Los Angeles on or after May 31, 2010 for a false alarm and for not having an alarm system permit: a pre-March 2009 class of customers installed by the ADT subsidiary; a pre-March 2009 class of customers installed by ADT Authorized Dealers; a post-March 2009 class of customers installed by the ADT subsidiary; and a post-March 2009 class of customers installed by ADT Authorized Dealers.

Tax Sharing Agreement

On September 28, 2012, Johnson Controls International plc (as successor to Tyco International Ltd., “Tyco”) distributed to its public stockholders The ADT Corporation’s common stock (“Separation from Tyco”), and The ADT Corporation became an independent public company. In connection with the Separation from Tyco, The ADT Corporation entered into a tax sharing agreement (“2012 Tax Sharing Agreement”) that governs the rights and obligations of The ADT Corporation, Tyco, and Pentair Ltd. (formerly Tyco Flow Control International, Ltd., “Pentair”) for certain pre-Separation from Tyco tax liabilities, including Tyco’s obligations under a 2007 tax sharing agreement (“2007 Tax Sharing Agreement”) among Tyco, Covidien (“Covidien”), now operating as a subsidiary of Medtronic, and TE Connectivity Ltd. (“TE Connectivity”).

As of March 31, 2019, there have been no material changes to the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement as compared to December 31, 2018.

8. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company's derivative financial instruments primarily consist of LIBOR-based interest rate swap contracts, which were entered into with the objective of managing exposure to variability in interest rates on the Company's debt. All interest rate swaps are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. For the interest rate swaps that are not designated as hedges, the change in fair value is recognized in interest expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges, the change in fair value is recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss and is reclassified into interest expense, net in the same period in which the related interest on debt affects earnings.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company entered into LIBOR-based interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $725 million. Below is a summary of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2019 (in thousands):



Execution	Maturity	Designation	Notional Amount
April 2017	April 2020	Not designated	$	1,000,000
June 2018	April 2022	Cash flow hedge	1,500,000
August 2018	April 2022	Cash flow hedge	1,000,000
January 2019	April 2022	Cash flow hedge	425,000
February 2019	April 2022	Cash flow hedge	300,000
Total notional amount			$	4,225,000

All interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges were highly effective as of March 31, 2019.

The Company's interest rate swaps did not have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.

9. Share-based Compensation

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were no material changes to the Company’s share-based compensation plans other than the issuance of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options granted under the 2018 Omnibus Plan (“2018 Plan”), as discussed below. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, share-based compensation expense totaled $24 million and $49 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company granted approximately 3 million RSUs under the 2018 Plan. These RSUs are primarily service-based awards with a three-year graded vesting period from the date of grant. The fair value of the RSUs is equal to the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, which resulted in a weighted-average grant date fair value of $6.18.

Options

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company granted 9 million options under the 2018 Plan. These options are primarily service-based awards with a three-year graded vesting period from the date of grant and have an exercise price equal to the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, which resulted in a weight-average exercise price of $6.18, and a contractual term of ten years from the grant date.

The Company used the following significant assumptions to estimate the grant date fair value for the options using the Black Scholes valuation approach:



	For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
Risk-free interest rate	2.48% - 2.51%
Expected exercise term (years)	6.0 - 6.5
Expected dividend yield	2.3%
Expected volatility	41%

The risk-free interest rate was based on a U.S. Treasury bond with a zero-coupon rate that is based on the expected exercise term. The stock price volatility was implied based upon an average of historical volatilities of publicly traded companies in industries similar to the Company, as the Company did not have sufficient history to use as a basis for actual stock price volatility, and the Company’s debt to equity ratio. The dividend yield was calculated by taking the annual dividend run-rate and dividing by the stock price at date of grant. The expected average exercise term was calculated using the simplified method, as the Company did not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis to estimate future exercise patterns.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the weighted-average grant date fair value for options granted was $2.11.

10. Equity

In January 2018, the Company completed an IPO in which the Company issued and sold 105,000,000 shares of common stock at an IPO price of $14.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of $1,406 million from the sale of its shares in the IPO after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses. As of March 31, 2018, approximately $5 million of offering expenses had not been paid.

Dividends

In February 2019, the Company approved a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”), which allows stockholders to designate all or a portion of the cash dividends on their shares of common stock for reinvestment in additional shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares issued will be determined based on the volume weighted average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days preceding the dividend payment and adjusted for any discounts, as applicable. The DRIP will terminate upon the earlier of (a) February 27, 2021 and (b) the date upon which an aggregate of 18,750,000 shares of common stock have been issued pursuant to the DRIP. When dividends are declared, the Company records a liability for the portion of the dividends to be settled in cash and records an increase in common stock par value and additional paid-in capital for the portion of dividends to be settled in shares of common stock under the DRIP.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company declared the following dividends on common stock:

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company declared $27 million (or $0.035 per share) in dividends, of which $4 million represents the portion of the dividends settled in cash and $23 million represents the portion of the dividends settled in shares of common stock, which resulted in the issuance of 3 million shares of common stock on April 12, 2019.

On May 7, 2019, the Company announced a dividend of $0.035 per share to common stockholders of record on June 11, 2019, which will be distributed on July 2, 2019.

Share Repurchase Program

In February 2019, the Company approved a share repurchase program which permits the Company to repurchase up to $150 million of the Company’s shares of common stock through February 27, 2021. The Company may effect these repurchases pursuant to one or more trading plans to be adopted in accordance with Securities Exchange Act Rule 10b5‐1, in privately negotiated transactions, in open market transactions, or pursuant to an accelerated share repurchase program. The Company conducts and intends to continue to conduct the share repurchase program in accordance with Securities Exchange Act Rule 10b-18. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any shares of common stock and the timing and amount of any repurchases may vary from quarter to quarter and will depend on legal requirements, market conditions, stock price, alternative uses of capital, and other factors.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company repurchased 3 million shares of common stock for approximately $22 million. All of the shares repurchased were treated as retirements and reduced the number of shares issued and outstanding. In addition, the Company recorded the excess of the purchase price over the par value per share as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

There were no material reclassifications out of AOCI during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

11. Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shares by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the diluted weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and would reflect the potential dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method.

For purposes of the diluted net loss per share calculation, all awards that potentially could be dilutive were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive, therefore, basic net loss per share is equal to diluted net loss per share for each period presented.

The computations of basic and diluted net loss per share for the periods presented are as follows:

12. Related Party Transactions

The Company’s related party transactions primarily relate to management, consulting, and transaction advisory services provided by Apollo and Apollo’s affiliates, as well as monitoring and related services provided to other entities controlled by Apollo. There were no significant related party transactions for the presented periods.

13. Leases

Company as Lessor

The Company is a lessor in certain transactions in which the Company provides monitoring and related services but retains ownership of the security systems as the Company has identified a lease component associated with the right-of-use of the security systems and a non-lease component associated with monitoring and related services. For transactions in which the timing and pattern of transfer is the same for the lease and non-lease components, and the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately, the Company applies the practical expedient to aggregate the lease and non-lease components and accounts for the combined component based upon its predominant characteristic, which is the non-lease component. As a result, the Company accounts for the combined component as a single performance obligation under the applicable revenue guidance and the underlying assets are reflected within subscriber system assets, net in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Certain of the Company’s transactions do not qualify for the practical expedient as the lease component represents a sales-type lease, as such, the Company separately accounts for the lease component and non-lease component. The Company’s sales-type leases are immaterial.

Company as Lessee

The Company leases real estate, vehicles, and equipment with various lease terms and maturities that extend out through 2030 from various counter parties as part of our operations. The Company applies the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components and accounts for the combined component as a lease. Additionally, the Company’s lease assets and liabilities include leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less.

Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which is determined as the non-cancelable period, periods in which termination options are reasonably certain of not being exercised, and periods in which renewal options are reasonably certain of being exercised. Payments that are not fixed at the commencement of a lease are considered variable payments and are expensed as incurred. The discount rate for a lease is determined using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate that coincides with the lease term at the commencement of a lease. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated based on publicly available data for the Company’s debt instruments and other instruments with similar characteristics.

The Company’s leases do not contain material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The Company’s subleases are immaterial.

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements, the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“2018 Annual Report”), which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 11, 2019, to enhance the understanding of our financial

condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations. The following discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements about our business, operations, and financial performance based on current plans and estimates that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the sections of this Quarterly Report titled “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

OVERVIEW

We are a leading provider of monitored security and interactive home and business automation solutions in the United States and Canada. Our monitored security and automation offerings involve the installation and monitoring of security and premises automation systems designed to detect intrusion; control access; sense movement, smoke, fire, carbon monoxide, flooding, temperature, and other environmental conditions and hazards; and address personal emergencies, such as injuries, medical emergencies, or incapacitation. Our products and services include interactive technologies to allow our customers to remotely monitor and manage their residential and commercial environments by adding automation capabilities to our monitored security systems. Through our interactive offerings, customers are able to remotely access information regarding the security of their residential or commercial environment, arm and disarm their security system, adjust lighting or thermostat levels, or view real-time video from cameras covering different areas of their premises via web-enabled devices (such as smart phones, laptops, and tablet computers) and a customized web portal. Additionally, our interactive automation solutions enable customers to create customized schedules or automation for managing lights, thermostats, appliances, and garage doors. The system can also be programmed to perform additional functions such as recording and viewing live video and sending text messages based on triggering events.

Our goal is to extend the concept of security from the physical home or business to cybersecurity and personal on-the-go security and safety. Customers’ increasingly mobile and active lifestyles have created new opportunities for us in the fast-growing market for self-monitored and do-it-yourself (“DIY”) products and services. Our technology also allows us to service our customers via various connected and wearable devices whether they are at home or on-the-go.

In addition, we offer professional monitoring of third-party devices by enabling other companies to integrate solutions into our monitoring and billing platform. This allows us to provide monitoring solutions to customers who do not currently have an installed ADT security system or interactive automation platform.

As of March 31, 2019, we serve over 7 million recurring customers, excluding contracts monitored but not owned. We are one of the largest full-service companies with a national footprint providing both residential and commercial monitored security. We deliver an integrated customer experience by maintaining the industry’s largest sales, installation, and service field workforce, as well as a 24/7 professional monitoring network.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

All financial information presented in this section has been prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of ADT Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

We report financial and operating information in one segment. Our operating segment is also our reportable segment.

FACTORS AFFECTING OPERATING RESULTS

Our subscriber-based business requires significant upfront investment to generate new customers, which in turn provides predictable recurring revenue generated from our monitoring and other services. In order to optimize returns on customer acquisitions and cash flow generation, we focus on the following key drivers of our business: best-in-class customer service; increased customer retention; disciplined, high-quality customer additions; efficient customer acquisition; and reduced costs incurred to provide ongoing services to customers.

Our ability to add new subscribers depends on the overall demand for our products and solutions, which is driven by a number of external factors. The overall economic condition in the geographies in which we operate can impact our ability to attract new customers and grow our business in all customer channels. Growth in our residential customer base can be influenced by the overall state of the housing market. Growth in our commercial and multi-site customer base can be influenced by the rate at which new businesses begin operating or existing businesses grow. The demand for our products and solutions is also impacted by the perceived threat of crime, as well as the quality of the service of our competitors.

The monthly fees that we generate from any individual customer vary based on the level of service we provide to the customer and customer tenure. We offer a wide range of services at various price points from basic burglar alarm monitoring to our full suite of interactive services. Our ability to increase monthly fees at the individual customer level depends on a number of factors,

including our ability to effectively introduce and market additional features and services that increase the value of our offerings to customers, which we believe drives customers to purchase higher levels of service and supports our ability to make periodic adjustments to pricing.

Attrition has a direct impact on the number of customers we monitor and service, as well as our financial results, including revenue, operating income, and cash flows. A portion of our customer base can be expected to cancel its service every year. Customers may choose not to renew or may terminate their contracts for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, relocation, cost, loss to competition, or service issues.

Radio Conversion Costs

We have received notice from the providers of 3G and Code-Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) cellular networks that they will be retiring their 3G and CDMA networks by the first quarter of 2022. We currently provide services to approximately 4 million customer sites that use 3G or CDMA cellular equipment, which number is diminishing on a monthly basis in the ordinary course of business due to attrition, upgrades, and repairs. Our plans to address this three-year transition are not yet finalized, and the impact involves numerous estimates and variables. Among other factors, we will look to reduce any applicable costs to the Company, such as hardware costs currently estimated to be less than $90 per site, by exploring cost-sharing opportunities, working with our suppliers, carriers, and customers, and to increase revenue by using the transition as an opportunity to sell new products and services in conjunction with replacing the radio and to more rapidly transition customers to our new Command and Control technology.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

The following are events that have occurred that significantly impact the comparability of our results of operations in historical or future periods:

Red Hawk Acquisition

On December 3, 2018, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Red Hawk Fire & Security, a leader in commercial fire, life safety, and security services, for total consideration of $318 million and cash paid of $301 million, net of cash acquired (“Red Hawk Acquisition”). We funded the Red Hawk Acquisition from a combination of additional debt financing and cash on hand. This acquisition is intended to accelerate our growth in the commercial security market and expand our product portfolio with the introduction of commercial fire safety related solutions.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

In evaluating our results, we utilize key performance indicators which include non-GAAP measures as well as the operating metrics of recurring monthly revenue, gross customer revenue attrition, and unit and customer count. Our computations of key performance indicators may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Additionally, our operating metric key performance indicators are approximated as there may be variations to reported results in each period due to certain adjustments we might make in connection with the integration over several periods of acquired companies that calculated these metrics differently, or otherwise, including periodic reassessments and refinements in the ordinary course of business. These refinements, for example, may include changes due to systems conversion or historical methodology differences in legacy systems.

Recurring Monthly Revenue (“RMR”)

RMR is generated by contractual recurring fees for monitoring and other recurring services provided to our customers, including contracts monitored but not owned. We believe the presentation of RMR is useful because it measures the volume of revenue under contract at a given point in time.

Gross Customer Revenue Attrition

Gross customer revenue attrition is defined as RMR lost as a result of customer attrition, net of dealer charge-backs and reinstated customers, excluding contracts monitored but not owned and DIY customers. Customer sites are considered canceled when all services are terminated. Dealer charge-backs represent customer cancellations charged back to the dealers because the customer canceled service during the charge-back period, generally twelve to fifteen months.

Gross customer revenue attrition is calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis, the numerator of which is the annualized RMR lost during the period due to attrition, net of dealer charge-backs and reinstated customers, excluding contracts monitored but not

owned and DIY customers, and the denominator of which is total annualized RMR based on an average of RMR under contract at the beginning of each month during the period.

As of January 1, 2019, in conjunction with the acquisition of LifeShield LLC, we will be presenting gross customer revenue attrition excluding existing and new do-it-yourself customers. Trailing twelve-month gross customer revenue attrition including DIY customers as of March 31, 2019 would have been 6 basis points higher. Trailing twelve-month gross customer revenue attrition for the comparison period in the first quarter of 2018 rounds to 13.6% both including and excluding DIY customers.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that we believe is useful to investors to measure the operational strength and performance of our business. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) (the most comparable GAAP measure), and additional information, including a description of the limitations relating to the use of Adjusted EBITDA, are provided under “—Non-GAAP Measures.”

Free Cash Flow

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure that our management employs to measure cash that is available to repay debt, make other investments, and pay dividends. Our definition of Free Cash Flow, a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by operating activities (the most comparable GAAP measure), and additional information, including a description of the limitations relating to the use of Free Cash Flow, are provided under “—Non-GAAP Measures.”

(3)	Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the “—Non-GAAP Measures” section for the definitions of these terms and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures.

Total Revenue

The increase in monitoring and related services revenue was primarily due to incremental revenue from acquisitions of businesses. RMR increased to $349 million as of March 31, 2019 from $337 million as of March 31, 2018, which represents an increase of 4%, of which 2% is due to the Red Hawk Acquisition. The remainder of the increase in RMR was attributable to an increase in contractual monthly recurring fees for monitoring and other recurring services, which resulted from the addition of new customers and improvements in average pricing, partially offset by customer attrition. The improvement in average pricing was driven by the addition of new customers at higher rates, largely due to new subscribers generally selecting higher priced services as compared to our existing customers, as well as price escalations on our existing customer base. Gross customer revenue attrition excluding DIY customers was 13.3% as of March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, gross customer revenue attrition would have been six basis points higher including DIY customers. As of March 31, 2018, gross customer revenue attrition was 13.6% both including and excluding DIY customers. We believe this improvement was a result of a lower rate of disconnects due to high quality customer selection and better customer service levels.

The increase in installation and other revenue was primarily due to $66 million related to revenue from security equipment sold outright to customers, the majority of which is due to incremental revenue associated with acquisitions of businesses. The remaining increase was due to additional amortization of deferred installation revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Cost of Revenue

The increase in cost of revenue was primarily due to an increase of $55 million related to installation costs associated with a higher volume of sales where security-related equipment is sold outright to customers, the majority of which was due to the incremental volume associated with acquisitions of businesses. The remaining increase is primarily due to incremental field service costs associated with acquisition of businesses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The increase in selling, general and administrative was primarily due to $24 million of incremental expenses associated with acquisitions of businesses and $17.5 million from two favorable legal settlements in the first quarter of 2018. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in share-based compensation of approximately $26 million primarily due to certain awards with accelerated vesting conditions that became fully vested in July 2018 as a result of our IPO.

Depreciation and Intangible Asset Amortization

The increase in depreciation and intangible asset amortization expense was primarily due to $23 million associated with the amortization of customer contracts acquired under the ADT Authorized Dealer Program, partially offset by a decrease in amortization expense of $20 million associated with the Protection One trade name, which became fully amortized in June 2018. The remainder of the increase is due to the impact of acquisitions of businesses, capital expenditures, and subscriber system assets.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net is primarily comprised of interest expense on our long-term debt. The decrease in interest expense was primarily driven by the reduction in interest expense of $26 million on our prior mandatorily redeemable preferred securities, which were fully redeemed in July of 2018, and the reduction in interest expense of $12 million on the 9.250% second-priority senior secured notes due 2023 (“Prime Notes”) due to the decrease in principal associated with the partial redemptions of the Prime Notes in February 2019 and 2018. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $21 million in interest expense on our variable-rate debt due to an increase in principal associated with our incremental borrowing of $425 million in December 2018 and an increase in interest rates, including the net impact of our interest rate swaps.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $22 million associated with the partial redemption of the Prime Notes in February 2019, which related to the payment of the call premium and

the partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $62 million associated with the partial redemption of the Prime Notes in February 2018, which related to the payment of the call premium and the partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.

Income Tax Benefit

Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $22 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 25.2%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal income tax rate of 21.0% and a 3.1% favorable impact associated with the resolution of open tax years.

Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $8 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 4.6%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal income tax rate of 21.0%, a 23.4% unfavorable impact of future non-deductible share-based compensation, an 11.0% unfavorable impact of permanent non-deductible expenses primarily associated with our prior mandatorily redeemable preferred securities, offset by a 16.1% favorable impact of tax adjustments related to prior year state returns filed during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 reflect the tax impact of permanent tax adjustments, state tax expense, changes in tax laws, and non-U.S. net earnings. The effective tax rate can vary from period to period due to permanent tax adjustments, discrete items such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws, recurring factors such as changes in the overall effective state tax rate, as well as fluctuations in pre-tax income or loss.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

To provide investors with additional information in connection with our results as determined by GAAP, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow as non-GAAP measures. These measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income, cash flows, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our operating profitability adjusted for certain non-cash items, non-routine items that we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items that are not core to our operations. Further, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of operating profitability because we use it for evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss adjusted for (i) interest, (ii) taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of subscriber system assets and other fixed assets and amortization of dealer and other intangible assets, (iv) amortization of deferred costs and deferred revenue associated with subscriber acquisitions, (v) share-based compensation expense, (vi) merger, restructuring, integration, and other, (vii) losses on extinguishment of debt, (viii) radio conversion costs, (ix) financing and consent fees, (x) foreign currency gains/losses, and (xi) other charges and non-cash items.

There are material limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account certain significant items, including depreciation and amortization, interest, taxes, and other adjustments which directly affect our net income or loss. These limitations are best addressed by considering the economic effects of the excluded items independently, and by considering Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Free Cash Flow

We believe that the presentation of Free Cash Flow is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our ability to repay debt, make other investments, and pay dividends.

We define Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less cash outlays related to capital expenditures. We define capital expenditures to include purchases of property, plant, and equipment; subscriber system asset additions; and accounts purchased through our network of authorized dealers or third parties outside of our authorized dealer network. These items are subtracted from cash flows from operating activities because they represent long-term investments that are required for normal business activities.

Free Cash Flow adjusts for cash items that are ultimately within management’s discretion to direct, and therefore, may imply that there is less or more cash that is available than the most comparable GAAP measure. Free Cash Flow is not intended to represent residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures since debt repayment requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures are not deducted. These limitations are best addressed by using Free Cash Flow in combination with the cash flows as calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $2 million compared to 2018. This increase was primarily due to an increase in monitoring and related services revenue combined with higher revenue from transactions in which security equipment is sold outright to customers, partially offset by the associated costs and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding items outside of our definition of Adjusted EBITDA.

Cash Outlays Related to Capital Expenditures

Dealer generated customer accounts and bulk account purchases, subscriber system assets, and capital expenditures are included in cash flows from investing activities. Refer to the discussions below under “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further details regarding cash flows from investing activities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations, as well as borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and the issuance of equity and/or debt securities as appropriate given market conditions. Our future cash needs are expected to include cash for operating activities, working capital, capital expenditures, strategic investments, periodic principal and interest payments on our debt, and potential dividend payments to our stockholders. We may, from time to time, seek to repay, redeem, repurchase, or refinance our indebtedness, or seek to retire or purchase our outstanding securities through cash purchases in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions or through a 10b5-1 repurchase plan or otherwise, and any such transactions may involve material amounts. We believe our cash position, borrowing capacity available under our revolving credit facilities, and cash provided by operating activities are, and will continue to be, adequate to meet our operational and business needs in the next twelve months as well as our long-term liquidity needs.

We are a highly leveraged company with significant debt service requirements. As of March 31, 2019, we had $96 million in cash and cash equivalents and $400 million in available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facilities. The carrying value of total debt outstanding, including capital lease obligations, was $9,714 million as of March 31, 2019.

Long-Term Debt

Significant changes in the Company’s debt during the three months ended March 31, 2019, were as follows:

Prime Notes

On February 1, 2019, we redeemed $300 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Prime Notes for a total redemption price of approximately $319 million, which included the related call premium. We recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $22 million related to the call premium and the partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs. We redeemed an additional $1 billion aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Prime Notes in April 2019 as part of our debt refinancing transactions discussed below.

Mizuho Bank Revolving Credit Facility

On February 15, 2019, we entered into a first lien revolving credit agreement with an aggregate available commitment of up to $50 million maturing on March 16, 2023 (“Mizuho Bank Revolving Credit Facility”). The Mizuho Bank Revolving Credit Facility was terminated and replaced in April 2019 as part of our debt refinancing transactions discussed below.

Subsequent Event Debt Refinancing

In April 2019, we issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.250% first-priority senior secured notes due 2024 (“First Lien Notes due 2024”) and $750 million aggregate principal amount of 5.750% first-priority senior secured notes due 2026 (First Lien Notes due 2026”). The proceeds from the First Lien Notes due 2024 and the First Lien Notes due 2026, along with cash on hand and borrowings under a first lien revolving credit facility, were used to (a) repurchase $1 billion aggregate principal amount of the Prime Notes, (b) repay $500 million aggregate principal amount of the first lien term loan due May 2, 2022 (“First Lien Term B-1 Loan”), and (c) pay fees and expenses associated with the foregoing, including early call premiums on the Prime Notes as well as accrued and unpaid interest on the repurchased Prime Notes and repaid borrowings under the First Lien Term B-1 Loan.

In connection with the $500 million repayment of the First Lien Term B-1 Loan, we amended and restated the first lien credit agreement (“First Lien Credit Agreement”) governing the First Lien Term B-1 Loan to (a) authorize the incurrence of the First Lien Notes due 2024 and First Lien Notes due 2026 by amending the Net First Lien Leverage Ratio for the incurrence of pari passu indebtedness to 3.20 to 1.00 (from 2.35 to 1.00), (b) provide for $300 million of additional incremental pari passu debt capacity, (c) increase the borrowing capacity under a first lien revolving credit facility by an additional $50 million, which replaced the Mizuho Bank Revolving Credit Facility, and (d) make several other changes to provide us with additional flexibility to de-lever our balance sheet and opportunistically refinance existing indebtedness. Further, as a result of the $500 million repayment, we will no longer have a quarterly principal payment obligation on the First Lien Term B-1 Loan.

Refer to Note 5 “Debt” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

Debt Covenants

As of March 31, 2019, we were in compliance with all financial covenant and other maintenance tests for all our debt obligations.

Dividends

In February 2019, we approved a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) which allows stockholders to designate all or a portion of the cash dividends on their shares of common stock for reinvestment in additional shares of our common stock. The number of shares issued will be determined based on the volume weighted average closing price per share of our common stock for the five trading days preceding the dividend payment and adjusted for any discounts, as applicable. The DRIP will terminate upon the earlier of (a) February 27, 2021 and (b) the date upon which an aggregate of 18,750,000 shares of common stock have been issued pursuant to the DRIP.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we declared the following dividends on common stock:

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we declared $27 million (or $0.035 per share) in dividends, of which $4 million represents the portion of the dividends settled in cash and $23 million represents the portion of the dividends settled in shares of common stock, which resulted in the issuance of 3 million shares of common stock on April 12, 2019.

On May 7, 2019, we announced a dividend of $0.035 per share to common stockholders of record on June 11, 2019, which will be distributed on July 2, 2019.

Share Repurchases

In February 2019, we approved a share repurchase program which permits us to repurchase up to $150 million of our shares of common stock through February 27, 2021. We may effect these repurchases pursuant to one or more trading plans to be adopted in accordance with Securities Exchange Act Rule 10b5‐1, in privately negotiated transactions, in open market transactions or pursuant to an accelerated share repurchase program. We conduct and intend to continue to conduct the share repurchase program in accordance with Securities Exchange Act Rule 10b-18. We are not obligated to repurchase any of our shares of common stock and the timing and amount of any repurchases may vary from quarter to quarter and will depend on legal requirements, market conditions, stock price, alternative uses of capital, and other factors. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we repurchased $22 million of our common stock.

Refer to the discussions below under “Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for further details.

Cash Flow Analysis

The following table is a summary of our cash flow activity for the periods presented:



	For the Three Months Ended
(in thousands)	March 31, 2019			March 31, 2018			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	509,262		$	504,574		$	4,688
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(400,065	)	$	(366,811	)	$	(33,254	)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	$	(380,164	)	$	747,920		$	(1,128,084	)

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in monitoring and related services combined with an increase in transactions in which security equipment is sold outright to customers, partially offset by the associated

costs and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenditures. The remainder of the increase in cash flows provided by operating activities relates to changes in assets and liabilities due to the volume and timing of other operating cash receipts and payments with respect to when the transactions are reflected in earnings.

Refer to the discussions above under “—Results of Operations” for further details.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

We make certain investments in our business that are intended to grow our customer base, enhance the overall customer experience, improve the productivity of our field workforce, and support greater efficiency of our back-office systems and our customer care centers.

The increase in cash flows used in investing activities was primarily due to an increase in cash used for business acquisitions, net of cash acquired, of $18 million. The remainder of the increase is due to the volume and timing of dealer and bulk additions, spend on subscriber system assets, and non-subscriber capital expenditures.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of (i) the repayment of long-term borrowings of $332 million primarily associated with the partial redemption of the Prime Notes, (ii) dividend payments on common stock of $26 million, and (iii) payments of $22 million for the repurchase of common stock.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash provided by financing activities consisted primarily of net proceeds from the IPO of $1,410 million, after deducting related fees, offset by repayment of long-term borrowings of $662 million primarily associated with the partial redemption of the Prime Notes.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

In our 2018 Annual Report, we disclosed our commitments and contractual obligations. There have been no other material changes to these commitments and contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business except for the changes to our long-term debt and an amendment to an agreement with a wireless network provider, which resulted in a fixed purchase obligation totaling approximately $80 million through 2022. Refer to the discussion above under “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for further details regarding significant changes to our long-term debt.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

There have been no material changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements since our 2018 Annual Report.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to select accounting policies and make estimates that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. Management’s estimates are based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or market conditions. In our 2018 Annual Report, we identified our accounting policies that are based on, among other things, estimates and judgments made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties.

Refer to Note 1 “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information about recent accounting adoptions and pronouncements.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report contains certain information that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. While we have specifically identified certain information as being forward-looking in the context of its presentation, we caution you that all statements contained in this report that are not clearly historical in nature, including statements regarding anticipated financial performance, management’s plans and objectives for future operations, business prospects, market conditions, and other matters are forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are contained principally in the sections of this report entitled “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, any time we use the words “expects,” “intends,” “will,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “confident,” “continue,” “propose,” “seeks,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “estimates,”

“forecasts,” “might,” “goals,” “objectives,” “targets,” “planned,” “projects,” and similar expressions, we intend to clearly express that the information deals with possible future events and is forward-looking in nature. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

Forward-looking information involves risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in, or reasonably inferred from, such statements, including without limitation, the risks and uncertainties disclosed in Part II Item 1A. of this report under the heading “Risk Factors.” Therefore, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Much of the information in this report that looks toward future performance of the Company is based on various factors and important assumptions about future events that may or may not actually occur. As a result, our operations and financial results in the future could differ materially and substantially from those we have discussed in the forward-looking statements included in the Quarterly Report. We assume no obligation (and specifically disclaim any such obligation) to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

Refer to Note 8 “Derivative Financial Instruments” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
