1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business and Organization

ADT Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a leading provider of security, interactive, and smart home solutions serving consumer, small business, and commercial customers in the United States (“U.S.”). With the acquisition of Compass Solar Group, LLC (now named ADT Solar LLC) (“ADT Solar”) (the “ADT Solar Acquisition”) in December 2021, the Company is now also a leading provider of residential solar and energy storage solutions. The Company primarily conducts business under the ADT brand name.

ADT Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware in May 2015 as a holding company with no assets or liabilities. In July 2015, the Company acquired Protection One, Inc. and ASG Intermediate Holding Corp. (collectively, the “Formation Transactions”), which were instrumental in the commencement of the Company’s operations. In May 2016, the Company acquired The ADT Security Corporation (formerly named The ADT Corporation) (“The ADT Corporation”) (the “ADT Acquisition”).

The Company is majority-owned by Prime Security Services TopCo (ML), L.P., which is majority-owned by Prime Security Services TopCo Parent, L.P. (“Ultimate Parent”). Ultimate Parent is majority-owned by Apollo Investment Fund VIII, L.P. and its related funds that are directly or indirectly managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, “Apollo” or the “Sponsor”).

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of ADT Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results of companies acquired are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

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 herein should not be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for future interim periods or the full year.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all the footnote disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements. 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, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2022.

Segments

The Company organizes its segments based on customer type and reports results in three operating and reportable segments, which are Consumer and Small Business (“CSB”), Commercial, and Solar, based on the manner in which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), evaluates performance and makes decisions about how to allocate resources. The accounting policies of the Company’s reportable segments are the same as those of the Company.

Refer to Note 3 “Segment Information” for additional information on the Company’s segments.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to select accounting policies and make estimates that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. 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.

COVID-19 Pandemic

During March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus as a pandemic (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”). While responses have varied by individuals, businesses, and state and local governments, the COVID-19 Pandemic, including recent variants, caused certain notable impacts on general economic conditions, including temporary and permanent closures of many businesses, increased governmental regulations, supply chain disruptions, and changes in consumer spending. To protect its employees and serve its customers, the Company implemented and is continuously evolving certain measures, such as (i) detailed protocols for infectious disease safety for employees, (ii) employee daily wellness checks, and (iii) certain work from home actions, including for the majority of the Company’s call center professionals.

The Company considered the on-going and pervasive economic impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the assessment of its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, as well as certain accounting estimates, as of and for the periods presented. However, the evolving and uncertain nature of the COVID-19 Pandemic, as well as the evolving nature of the regulatory environment which may require vaccines or vaccine boosters or other actions that could impact the Company’s employee base or impose additional costs on the business, could materially impact the Company’s estimates and financial results in future reporting periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, amends ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and clarifies the scope and guidance of Topic 848 to allow derivatives impacted by the reference rate reform to qualify for certain optional expedients and exceptions for contract modifications and hedge accounting. The guidance is optional and is effective for a limited period of time through December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, this guidance had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. However, the Company will continue to evaluate this guidance in subsequent periods.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”), eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 also requires public business entities to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. It should also be applied prospectively, with an option to apply a modified retrospective transition method in relation to the recognition and measurement of troubled debt restructurings, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, in which case the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unless otherwise noted, the Company’s accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements as discussed below, or included within the respective footnotes herein, do not materially differ from those disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are cash and cash equivalents that are restricted for a specific purpose and cannot be presented within the general cash and cash equivalents account. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents	10,667		8,824
Ending balance	$	28,071	$	33,277

Subscriber System Assets and Deferred Subscriber Acquisition Costs

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 termination of the contract with the customer, the Company may retrieve such assets. Deferred subscriber acquisition costs represent selling expenses (primarily commissions) that are incremental to acquiring customers.

The Company records subscriber system assets and deferred subscriber acquisition costs in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as these assets embody a probable future economic benefit for the Company through the generation of future monitoring and related services revenue.

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

Subscriber system assets reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets includes:

Radio Conversion Costs

The Company commenced a program in 2019 to replace the 3G and Code-Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) cellular equipment used in many of its security systems to prepare for the retirement of the 3G and CDMA networks during 2022. From inception of this program through March 31, 2022, the Company incurred $298 million of radio conversion costs, net of related incremental radio conversion revenue.

Radio conversion costs and radio conversion revenue are reflected in selling, general, and administrative expenses and monitoring and related services revenue, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)		2022		2021
Radio conversion costs		$	18,133	$	69,669
Radio conversion revenue		$	8,193	$	10,940

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, accounts receivable, retail installment contract receivables, 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 amounts.

Cash Equivalents - Included in cash and cash equivalents as applicable from time to time are investments in money market mutual funds. These investments are classified as Level 1 fair value measurements, which represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

The Company had no material investments in money market mutual funds as of March 31, 2022, or December 31, 2021.

Long-Term Debt Instruments - The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt instruments were determined using broker-quoted market prices, which represent quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities as well as other observable market data. The resulting fair values are classified as Level 2 fair value measurements. The carrying amounts of debt outstanding, if any, under the Company’s revolving credit facility and receivables facility approximate fair values as interest rates on these borrowings approximate current market rates.

The total carrying amount and fair value of long-term debt instruments subject to fair value disclosures were as follows:


	March 31, 2022				December 31, 2021
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Long-term debt instruments, excluding finance lease obligations	$	9,771,351	$	9,802,804	$	9,599,610	$	10,043,877

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 models utilizing 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 resulting fair values are classified as Level 2 fair value measurements.

Refer to Note 7 “Derivative Financial Instruments” for the fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Subsequent Event - Canopy Investment

In April 2022, the Company closed on its previously announced transaction with Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) to form a new entity, Canopy, which will combine ADT’s professional security monitoring and Ford’s AI-driven video camera technology to help customers strengthen security of new and existing vehicles across automotive brands. ADT and Ford expect to invest approximately $100 million collectively during the next three years, of which ADT will contribute 40%. As part of the initial funding at closing, the Company’s initial contribution totaled approximately $11 million.

2. REVENUE AND RECEIVABLES

Revenue

The Company allocates transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling price, which is determined using observable internal and external pricing, profitability, and operational metrics.

The following table presents the Company’s disaggregated revenue:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)		2022		2021
CSB:
Monitoring and related services		$	993,028	$	951,248

Contract termination charges are assessed in accordance with the terms of the contract when customers terminate a contract early and are recognized in monitoring and related services revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations when collectability is probable.

Company-Owned - In transactions in which the Company provides monitoring and related services but retains ownership of the security system (referred to as Company-owned transactions), the Company’s performance obligations primarily include (i) monitoring and related services and (ii) a material right associated with the one-time non-refundable fees in connection with the initiation of a monitoring contract which the customer will not be required to pay again upon a renewal of the contract (referred to as deferred subscriber acquisition revenue). Since March 2021, substantially all new CSB transactions have taken place under a Company-owned model.

The portion of the transaction price associated with monitoring and related services is recognized when these services are provided to the customer and is reflected in monitoring and related services revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The portion of the transaction price associated with the material right is deferred upon initiation of a monitoring contract and reflected as deferred subscriber acquisition revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred subscriber acquisition revenue is amortized on a pooled basis over the estimated life of the customer relationship using an accelerated method consistent with the treatment of subscriber system assets and deferred subscriber acquisition costs.

Amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition revenue is reflected in installation, product, and other revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)		2022		2021
Amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition revenue		$	53,423	$	37,159

Customer-Owned - In transactions involving security systems sold outright to the customer (referred to as outright sales), the Company’s performance obligations generally include the sale and installation of the system and any monitoring and related services.

The portion of the transaction price associated with the sale and installation of a system is recognized either at a point in time or over time based upon the nature of the transaction and contractual terms and is reflected in installation, product, and other revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For revenue recognized over time, progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation is primarily measured using a cost-to-cost measure of progress method. The cost input driving revenue recognition for these contracts is based primarily on contract cost incurred to date compared to total estimated contract cost. This measure of progress method includes forecasts based on the best information available and reflects the Company’s judgment to faithfully depict the value of the services transferred to the customer. Approximately half of installation, product, and other revenue generated by the Commercial segment is recognized over time.

The portion of the transaction price associated with monitoring and related services is recognized when services are provided to the customer and is reflected in monitoring and related services revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Solar - In transactions within our Solar business, the Company’s performance obligations generally include the sale and installation of a solar system, and may also include additional performance obligations such as roofing services or the sale and installation of additional products such as batteries. Revenue is recognized when control over the products and services are transferred to the customer and is reflected in installation, product, and other revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company also enters into agreements with third-party lenders in order to access loan products for the Company’s Solar customers. These lenders have the exclusive right to determine if a loan application will be accepted or rejected, and the Company is not a party to the loan agreement. There are no guarantees related to the repayment of the loan, and as such, there is no liability associated with these arrangements.

These lenders remit the loan amount, net of fees related to obtaining favorable interest rates for customers, to the Company once the loan is approved or upon installation. These fees are recorded as a reduction of installation, product, and other revenue and were approximately $38 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Product Sales

Revenue and cost of revenue from product and system sales included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)		2022		2021
Installation, product, and other		$	300,850	$	202,746
Cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately below)		$	220,565	$	160,186

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents customer billings for services not yet rendered and is primarily related to recurring monitoring and related services. In addition, payments received for the sale and installation of a system after the agreement is signed but before performance obligations are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue.

These amounts 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 when performance obligations are satisfied. 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.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent unconditional rights to consideration from customers in the ordinary course of business and are generally due in one year or less. The Company’s accounts receivable are recorded at amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses not expected to be recovered. The allowance for credit losses is recognized at inception and reassessed each reporting period.

The Company evaluates its allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable in pools based on customer type. For each customer pool, the allowance for credit losses is estimated based on the delinquency status of the underlying receivables and the related historical loss experience, as adjusted for current and expected future conditions, if applicable. The allowance for credit losses is not material for the individual pools of customers.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2022		2021
Beginning balance	$	54,032	$	68,342
Provision for credit losses	20,457		14,322

Ending balance	$	55,727	$	66,830

________________

(1)Recoveries were not material for the periods presented. As such, the Company presented write-offs, net of recoveries.

Retail Installment Contract Receivables

The Company’s retail installment contract option allows qualifying residential customers to pay the fees due at installation over a 24-, 36-, or 60-month interest-free period and is available for security system transactions occurring under both Company-owned and customer-owned models. The financing component of retail installment contract receivables is not significant.

The Company’s retail installment contract receivables are recorded at amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses not expected to be recovered. The allowance for credit losses is recognized at inception and reassessed each reporting period. The allowance for credit losses relates to retail installment contract receivables from outright sales transactions and is not material.

Upon origination of a retail installment contract, the Company utilizes external credit scores to assess customer credit quality and determine eligibility. In addition, customers are required to enroll in the Company’s automated payment process in order to enter into a retail installment contract.

Subsequent to origination, the Company monitors the delinquency status of retail installment contract receivables as the key credit quality indicator. As of March 31, 2022, the current and delinquent billed retail installment contract receivables were not material.

Refer to Note 6 “Debt” for further discussion regarding the Receivables Facility.

Contract Assets

Contract assets represent the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. The contract asset is reclassified to accounts receivable when the Company’s right to the consideration becomes unconditional as additional services are performed and billed. The Company has the right to bill customers as services are provided over time, which generally occurs over the course of a 24-, 36-, or 60-month period. The financing component of contract assets is not significant.

The Company records an allowance for credit losses against its contract assets for amounts not expected to be recovered. The allowance is recognized at inception and is reassessed each reporting period. The allowance for credit losses on contract assets was not material for the periods presented.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

As discussed in Note 1 “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” the Company reports results in three operating and reportable segments based on the manner in which the CODM evaluates performance and makes decisions about how to allocate resources.

The Company organizes its segments based on customer type as follows:

•CSB - The CSB segment primarily includes (i) revenue and operating costs from the sale, installation, servicing, and monitoring of integrated security and automation systems, as well as other related offerings; (ii) other operating costs associated with support functions related to these operations; and (iii) general corporate costs and other income and expense items not included in the Commercial and Solar segments. Customers in the CSB segment are comprised of residential homeowners, small business operators, and other individual consumers.

•Commercial - The Commercial segment primarily includes (i) revenue and operating costs from the sale, installation, servicing, and monitoring of integrated security and automation systems, fire detection and suppression systems, and other related offerings; (ii) other operating costs associated with support functions related to these operations; and (iii) dedicated corporate costs and other income and expense items. Customers in the Commercial segment are comprised of larger businesses with more expansive facilities (typically larger than 10,000 square feet) and/or multi-site operations, which often require more sophisticated integrated solutions.

•Solar - The Solar segment primarily includes (i) revenue and operating costs from the design and installation of solar and related solutions and services; (ii) other operating costs associated with support functions related to these operations; and (iii) dedicated corporate costs and other income and expense items. Customers in the Solar segment are comprised of residential homeowners who purchase solar and energy storage solutions, energy efficiency upgrades, and roofing services.

The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA, which is the segment profit measure, to evaluate segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined 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, net; and (ix) other income/gain or expense/loss items such as impairment charges, financing and consent fees, or acquisition-related adjustments.

The CODM does not review the Company's assets by segment; therefore, such information is not presented.

The following table presents total revenue by segment and a reconciliation to consolidated total revenue:

4. ACQUISITIONS

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, total consideration related to business acquisitions was not material.

ADT Solar Acquisition

In December 2021, the Company acquired ADT Solar, a leading solar installer in the U.S.

Total consideration was approximately $750 million, which consisted of cash paid of $142 million, net of cash acquired, and approximately 75 million unregistered shares of the Company’s common stock, par value of $0.01 per share, with a fair value of $569 million, including $40 million related to approximately 5 million shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued in various increments over the twelve-month period subsequent to the acquisition date. The total fair value of $569 million was based on the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock on December 8, 2021, the acquisition date, adjusted for the impact of contractual restrictions on the ability for the holders to sell their shares.

There were no material adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Receivables Facility

Under the Receivables Facility, the Company obtains financing by selling or contributing certain retail installment contract receivables to the Company’s wholly-owned consolidated bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity (“SPE”), which then grants a security interest in those retail installment contract receivables as collateral for cash borrowings.

The Receivables Facility permits up to $400 million of uncommitted financing secured by the Company’s retail installment contract receivables owned by the SPE and has a scheduled termination date for the uncommitted revolving period of October 2022.

The Company services the transferred retail installment contract receivables and is responsible for ensuring the related collections are remitted to a segregated bank account in the name of the SPE. On a monthly basis, the segregated account is utilized to make required principal, interest, and other payments due under the Receivables Facility. The segregated account is considered restricted cash, and any outstanding balance is reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company received proceeds of $47 million under the Receivables Facility and repaid $21 million, which are reflected as cash flows from financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had an uncommitted available borrowing capacity under the Receivables Facility of $175 million and $201 million, respectively.

The Receivables Facility did not have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Variable Interest Entity

The SPE borrower under the Receivables Facility is a separate legal entity with its own creditors who will be entitled, prior to and upon the liquidation of the SPE, to be satisfied out of the SPE’s assets prior to any assets of the SPE becoming available to the Company (other than the SPE). Accordingly, the assets of the SPE are not available to pay creditors of the Company (other than the SPE), although collections from the transferred retail installment contract receivables in excess of amounts required to repay amounts then due and payable to the SPE’s creditors may be released to the Company and subsequently used by the Company (including to pay other creditors). The SPE’s creditors under the Receivables Facility have legal recourse to the transferred retail installment contract receivables owned by the SPE, and to the Company for certain performance and operational obligations relating to the Receivables Facility, but do not have any recourse to the Company (other than the SPE) for the payment of principal and interest on the advances under the Receivables Facility.

The SPE meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which the Company is the primary beneficiary as it has the power to direct the SPE’s activities and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the SPE. As such, the SPE’s assets, liabilities, and financial results of operations are consolidated in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the SPE’s assets and liabilities primarily consisted of unbilled retail installment contract receivables, net, as discussed in Note 2 “Revenue and Receivables,” of $341 million and $299 million, respectively, and borrowings under the Receivables Facility, as presented above.

SOFR Transition

By June 2023, LIBOR will be replaced with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (the “SOFR Transition Date”), at which point the applicable benchmark for all existing and new issuances with a variable rate debt component will be based on SOFR. The First Lien Term Loan due 2026 and First Lien Revolving Credit Facility are and will continue to be based on LIBOR until the SOFR Transition Date. However, any modification, such as a repricing entered into after December 31, 2021, will require transition to SOFR. Additionally, any new issuances with a variable rate debt component entered into after December 31, 2021 will utilize SOFR per the terms of the credit agreement.

In April 2022, the Receivables Facility was amended to provide for an interim early transition to SOFR for the period beginning April 2022.

7. 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 swap contracts are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.

For interest rate swap contracts that are:

•Not designated as cash flow hedges: Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in interest expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

•Designated as cash flow hedges: Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reclassified into interest expense, net, in the same period in which the related interest on debt affects earnings.

For interest rate swap contracts that have been de-designated as cash flow hedges and for which forecasted cash flows are:

•Probable or reasonably possible of occurring: Unrealized gains and losses previously recognized as a component of AOCI are reclassified into interest expense, net, in the same period in which the related interest on variable-rate debt affects earnings through the original maturity date of the related interest rate swap contracts.

•Probable of not occurring: Unrealized gains and losses previously recognized as a component of AOCI are immediately reclassified into interest expense, net.

The cash flows associated with interest rate swap contracts that included an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception are reflected as cash flows from financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Beginning in March 2020, the Company de-designated interest rate swap contracts previously designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $3.0 billion. As the forecasted cash flows are probable or reasonably possible of occurring, unrealized losses previously recognized as a component of AOCI are reclassified into interest expense, net.

The Company’s interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 consisted of the following (in thousands):

As of March 31, 2022, approximately $25 million of AOCI associated with previously designated cash flow hedges is estimated to be reclassified to interest expense, net, within the next twelve months.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company paid $13 million and $14 million, respectively, related to settlements on interest rate swap contracts that included an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception.

8. INCOME TAXES

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. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company did not have a material change to its unrecognized tax benefits. Based on the current status of its income tax audits, the Company does not believe a significant portion of its unrecognized tax benefits will be resolved in the next twelve months.

Effective Tax Rate

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 state tax rate.

The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $20 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 27.4%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory rate of 21.0%, a state statutory tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 6.7%, and a 2.6% favorable impact of share-based compensation, offset by a 2.7% unfavorable impact of permanent items.

The Company’s income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $15 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 23.3%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory rate of 21.0%, a state statutory tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 2.8%, and a 2.8% favorable impact of share-based compensation, partially offset by a 1.6% unfavorable impact of state legislative changes.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) were signed into law in March 2021 and March 2020, respectively, and included significant corporate income tax and payroll tax provisions intended to provide economic relief to address the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

During 2020, the Company recognized favorable cash flow impacts related to the accelerated refund of previously generated alternative minimum tax credits, as well as from the deferral of remittance of certain 2020 payroll taxes, with 50% of the deferred amount due by the end of 2021, and the remainder due by the end of 2022. The Company also recognized a benefit from an increase in the interest expense limitation from 30% to 50% for tax years 2019 and 2020.

Delayed Effective Dates for Tax Law Changes under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

Certain changes to U.S. federal tax law included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act had a delayed effective date and have taken effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021. These changes include a limitation on net business interest expense deductions under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 163(j) no longer being increased by deductions for depreciation, amortization or depletion, and, under IRC Section 174, specified research and experimentation expenditures being capitalized and amortized.

9. EQUITY

Common Stock and Class B Common Stock

The Company has two classes of common stock, including common stock (“Common Stock”) and Class B common stock (“Class B Common Stock”), both of which entitle stockholders to one vote per share except as described below.

The Company’s Common Stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ADT” since the Company’s initial public offering in January 2018.

Class B Common Stock was issued in September 2020 to Google LLC (“Google”) in a private placement pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated July 31, 2020 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Each share of Class B Common Stock has equal status and rights to dividends as a share of Common Stock. The holders of Class B Common Stock have one vote for each share of Class B Common Stock held on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally except for voting on the election, appointment, or removal of directors of the Company. Additionally, each share of Class B Common Stock will immediately become convertible into one share of Common Stock, at the option of the holder, subject to certain timing and restrictions.

Dividends

Dividends declared on common stock during the periods presented were as follows (in thousands, except per share data):


			Common Stock				Class B Common Stock
Declaration Date	Record Date	Payment Date	Per Share		Aggregate		Per Share		Aggregate
Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
3/1/2022	3/17/2022	4/4/2022	$	0.035	$	29,842	$	0.035	$	1,916

Subsequent Event - On May 5, 2022, the Company announced a dividend of $0.035 per share to holders of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of record on June 16, 2022, which will be distributed on July 5, 2022.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

There were no material reclassifications out of AOCI. Refer to Note 7 “Derivative Financial Instruments” for AOCI reclassifications associated with cash flow hedges.

Restricted Stock Units

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company granted approximately 6.2 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under its 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2018 Plan”). These RSUs are 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 $7.88.

The RSUs’ retirement provisions allow awards to continue to vest in accordance with the granted terms in its entirety when a participant reaches retirement eligibility, as long as 12 months of service have been provided since the grant date.

RSUs are entitled to dividend equivalent units (unless otherwise stipulated in the applicable award agreement), which are granted as additional RSUs and are subject to the same vesting and forfeiture conditions as the underlying RSUs.

11. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company applies the two-class method for computing and presenting net income (loss) per share for each class of common stock, which allocates current period net income (loss) to each class of common stock and participating securities based on (i) dividends declared and (ii) participation rights in the remaining undistributed earnings (losses).

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) allocated to each class of common stock by the related weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. In addition, basic weighted-average shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2022 includes approximately 5 million shares of Common Stock to be issued in various increments throughout 2022 in connection with the ADT Solar Acquisition. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to all securities representing potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period for each class of common stock.

Potential shares of Common Stock include (i) incremental shares of Common Stock calculated using the treasury stock method for share-based compensation awards, (ii) incremental shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Class B Common Stock, and (iii) incremental shares of Common Stock calculated using the treasury stock method for warrants to purchase additional shares of Common Stock issued in connection with a business combination. There were no potential shares of Class B Common Stock during the periods presented.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the computation of diluted earnings per share for Common Stock excludes potentially dilutive securities whose effect would have been anti-dilutive in the amounts of approximately 17 million shares from share-based compensation awards and approximately 0.1 million warrants to purchase additional shares of Common Stock.

Approximately 9 million unvested shares are excluded from the basic and diluted earnings per share computations, as their vesting is contingent upon achievement of certain performance requirements, which have not been met as of March 31, 2022.

The computations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share under the two-class method for each class of common stock are as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022				2021
	Common Stock		Class B Common Stock		Common Stock		Class B Common Stock
Allocation of net income (loss) - basic	$	48,510	$	3,135	$	(44,673)	$	(3,221)

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contractual Obligations

There have been no material changes to the Company’s contractual obligations as compared to December 31, 2021, except as discussed below:

Google Commercial Agreement

The Company and Google entered into a Master Supply, Distribution, and Marketing Agreement (the “Google Commercial Agreement”), pursuant to which Google has agreed to supply the Company with certain Google devices as well as certain Google video and analytics services (“Google Devices and Services”), for sale to the Company’s customers. Subject to customary termination rights related to breach and change of control, the Google Commercial Agreement has an initial term of seven years from the date that the Google Devices and Services are successfully integrated into the Company’s end-user security and automation platform. Further, subject to certain carve-outs, the Company has agreed to exclusively sell Google Devices and Services to its customers.

If the integrated Google Devices and Services are not launched by June 30, 2022, Google has the contractual right to require the Company, with certain exceptions, to exclusively offer the Google Devices and Services without integration for all new professional installations and for existing customers who do not have ADT Pulse or ADT Control interactive services, until such integration has been made. The Company has already begun providing Google video services and devices and will continue to do so on a non-integrated basis as of June 30, 2022, and is working closely with Google toward an integrated solution.

Other Obligations

In 2021, the Company entered into agreements for potential future customer account purchases from two distinct third parties, assuming certain conditions are met, over the course of those agreements. As of March 31, 2022, remaining commitments for those potential future customer account purchases could total approximately $33 million through January 2023.

Guarantees

In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. The Company’s guarantees primarily relate to standby letters of credit related to its insurance programs and totaled $86 million and $76 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company does not believe such obligations will materially affect its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

During March 2022, the Company entered into an unsecured Credit Agreement with Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company, as administrative agent and issuing lender (the “Issuing Lender”), together with other lenders party thereto, pursuant to which the Company may request the Issuing Lender to issue one or more letters of credit for its own account or the account of its subsidiaries, in an aggregate face amount not to exceed $75 million at any one time.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to various claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, which include contractual disputes; worker’s compensation; employment matters; product, general, and auto 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. There have been no material changes to these matters from those disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report except as described below.

ADT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The Company records accruals for losses that are probable and reasonably estimable. These accruals are based on a variety of factors such as judgment, probability of loss, opinions of internal and external legal counsel, and actuarially determined estimates of claims incurred but not yet reported based upon historical claims experience. 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 has not accrued for any losses for which the likelihood of loss cannot be assessed or the range of possible loss cannot be estimated.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s accrual for ongoing claims and lawsuits within the scope of an insurance program totaled $89 million and $90 million, respectively. The Company’s accrual related to ongoing claims and lawsuits not within the scope of an insurance program is not material.

Unauthorized Access by a Former Technician

In April 2020, after investigating a customer inquiry, the Company self-disclosed that a former technician based in Dallas, Texas had, during service visits, added his personal email address to approximately 200 of the Company’s customers’ accounts, which provided this employee with varying levels of unauthorized personal access to such customers’ in-home security systems. In response, the Company initiated an affirmative outreach effort to notify all customers affected by this activity and to address their concerns. Since the disclosure, seven lawsuits have been filed against the Company, and the Company intervened in an eighth lawsuit filed against the former technician. Four of these lawsuits were originally filed as putative class actions and four as individual claims. One of the individual claims and one of the putative class actions subsequently settled.

In May 2020, the Company was served with a class action complaint in a case captioned Shana Doty v. ADT LLC and filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. By an amended complaint, the plaintiff asserted causes of action on behalf of herself and other Company customers similarly situated, and sought to recover damages for breach of contract, negligence, intrusion upon seclusion, violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, negligent hiring, supervision and retention, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The Company moved to dismiss the plaintiff’s amended complaint. In December 2020, the federal district court dismissed the causes of action for intrusion upon seclusion and violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and further ruled that plaintiff may not seek to hold the Company vicariously liable for any intentional torts committed by the former technician. In December 2021, the Company moved for summary judgment on Plaintiff’s remaining claims. In January 2022, plaintiff filed a notice withdrawing motion for class certification and dismissing class allegations. The case will now proceed as an individual action and is in discovery. In March 2022, the court entered an order on the Company’s summary judgment motion and dismissed Plaintiff’s claims for gross negligence, negligent hiring, supervision and retention, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The court also limited Plaintiff’s damages to $500 for the breach of contract and negligence claims under the limitation of liability terms contained in the customer’s contract. The Company’s motion was denied as to plaintiff’s claim that the Company violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The case is set for trial in September 2022.

In June 2020, the Company was served with a class action complaint in a case captioned Alexia Preddy v. ADT LLC and filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. By an amended complaint, the plaintiff asserted causes of action on behalf of herself and others similarly situated as individuals residing in homes of Company customers, and sought to recover damages for negligence, intrusion upon seclusion, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, negligent hiring, supervision and retention, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The Company moved to dismiss the plaintiff’s amended complaint and to compel arbitration. In December 2020, the federal district court granted the Company’s motion to compel arbitration. The case is stayed and administratively closed and is proceeding in arbitration as an individual claim. An arbitration hearing is currently set for August 2022.

In April 2021, the Company was served with a class action complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on behalf of Randy Doty, the husband of the plaintiff in Shana Doty v. ADT LLC. The claims alleged in the complaint are substantially similar to the claims asserted in Alexa Preddy v. ADT LLC, the case which has been stayed pending arbitration. In July 2021, the federal district court dismissed the claim for intrusion upon seclusion and ruled that the plaintiff cannot proceed on theories of vicarious liability for the technician’s intentional torts. As with the Shana Doty matter, plaintiff filed a notice withdrawing motion for class certification and dismissing class allegations. The case is proceeding as an individual action, which has been consolidated with the Shana Doty v. ADT LLC case, and a ruling is pending on the Company’s motion for summary judgment. This case is also set for trial in September 2022.

Following the November 2021 abandonment of their class action allegations, the lawyers in the Doty and Preddy cases filed a new complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on behalf of seven different customers and fourteen members of their respective households. The case is captioned Stefanie Bryant, et al. v. ADT LLC. The claims alleged in the new complaint are substantially similar to the claims asserted in Alexa Preddy v. ADT LLC, Shana Doty v. ADT LLC, and Randy Doty v. ADT LLC.

The Company may also be subject to future legal claims.

13. LEASES

Company as Lessee

As part of normal operations, the Company leases real estate, vehicles, and equipment from various counterparties with lease terms and maturities through 2030. For these transactions, 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 right-of-use assets and lease liabilities include leases with initial lease terms of 12 months or less.

The Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities primarily represent lease payments fixed at the commencement of a lease and variable lease payments dependent on an index or rate. Lease payments are recognized as lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which is determined as the non-cancelable period, including periods in which termination options are reasonably certain of not being exercised and periods in which renewal options are reasonably certain of being exercised. The discount rate is determined using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate coinciding 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.

Lease payments that are neither fixed nor dependent on an index or rate and vary because of changes in usage or other factors are included in variable lease costs. Variable lease costs are recorded in the period in which the obligation is incurred and primarily relate to fuel, repair, and maintenance payments as they vary based on the usage of leased vehicles and buildings.

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

Company as Lessor

The Company is a lessor in certain Company-owned transactions as the Company has identified a lease component associated with the right-of-use of the security system and a non-lease component associated with the monitoring and related services.

For transactions in which (i) the timing and pattern of transfer is the same for the lease and non-lease components and (ii) 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 transaction based upon its predominant characteristic, which is the non-lease component. The Company accounts for the combined component as a single performance obligation under the applicable revenue guidance and recognizes the underlying assets within subscriber system assets, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For transactions that do not qualify for the practical expedient as the lease component represents a sales-type lease, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components separately. The Company’s sales-type leases are not material.

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company’s related party transactions primarily relate to products and services received from, or monitoring and related services provided to, other entities controlled by Apollo, as well as management, consulting, and transaction advisory services provided by Apollo to the Company. There were no significant related party transactions during the periods presented other than as described below:

Sunlight Financial LLC

ADT Solar uses Sunlight Financial LLC (“Sunlight”), a related party controlled by Apollo, to access certain loan products for ADT Solar customers, as discussed in Note 2 “Revenue and Receivables.” The Company is not a party to these loan agreements. Sunlight remits the loan amount, net of financing fees, to the Company once the loan is approved or upon installation. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company incurred $15 million of financing fees based on approximately $100 million of loan proceeds remitted by Sunlight to the Company.

Intrado Corporation

The Company uses Intrado Corporation (“Intrado”), a related party controlled by Apollo, for certain technology and communications services in the ordinary course of business. The Company is party to an agreement with Intrado for the provision of certain emergency response and telecommunication services, which includes commitments of approximately $4 million through 2025. Intrado fees totaled approximately $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Rackspace US, Inc.

During October 2020, the Company entered into a master services agreement with Rackspace US, Inc., a related party controlled by Apollo, for the provision of cloud storage, equipment, and services to facilitate the implementation of the Company’s cloud migration strategy for certain applications. The master services agreement includes a minimum purchase commitment of $50 million over a seven year term. As of March 31, 2022, total purchases under this agreement since inception were approximately $9 million, with approximately $3 million occurring during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

INTRODUCTION

To obtain a more comprehensive understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations, the following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”), which was filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2022.

The following discussion and analysis contains 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 these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q titled “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and Item 1A “Risk Factors.”

OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Business Overview

ADT Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” and “ADT”), is a leading provider of security, interactive, and smart home solutions serving residential, small business, and commercial customers in the U.S. With the acquisition of Compass Solar Group, LLC (now named ADT Solar LLC) (“ADT Solar”) (the “ADT Solar Acquisition”) in December 2021, we are now also a leading provider of residential solar and energy storage solutions. Our mission is to empower people to protect and connect to what matters most - their families, homes, and businesses - by delivering safe, smart, and sustainable lifestyle-driven solutions through professionally installed, DIY, and mobile or other digital-based offerings supported by our 24/7 professional monitoring services.

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 includes the accounts of ADT Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. We report financial and operating information in the following three segments:

•Consumer and Small Business - The Consumer and Small Business (“CSB”) segment primarily includes the sale, installation, servicing, and monitoring of integrated security and automation systems and other related offerings to residential homeowners, small business operators, and other individual consumers, as well as general corporate costs and other income and expense items not included in another segment.

•Commercial - The Commercial segment primarily includes the sale, installation, servicing, and monitoring of integrated security and automation systems, fire detection and suppression systems, and other related offerings to larger businesses and/or multi-site operations, which often require more sophisticated integrated solutions, as well as dedicated corporate and other costs.

•Solar - The Solar segment primarily includes the design and installation of solar and related solutions and services to residential homeowners who purchase solar and energy storage solutions, energy efficiency upgrades, and roofing services, as well as dedicated corporate and other costs.

Our chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) uses Adjusted EBITDA, which is the segment profit measure, to evaluate segment performance. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), and additional information, including a description of the limitations relating to the use of Adjusted EBITDA, are provided under “—Non-GAAP Measures.”

Refer to Note 3 “Segment Information” for additional information on the Company’s segments.

COVID-19 Pandemic Update

During March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus as a pandemic (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”). While responses have varied by individuals, businesses, and state and local governments, the COVID-19 Pandemic, including recent variants, caused certain notable impacts on general economic conditions, including temporary and permanent closures of many businesses, increased governmental regulations, supply chain disruptions, and changes in consumer spending. To protect our employees and serve our customers, we have implemented and are continuously evolving certain measures, such as (i) detailed protocols for infectious disease safety for employees, (ii) employee daily wellness checks, and (iii) certain work from home actions, including for the majority of our call center professionals.

We believe our overall recurring revenue and highly variable subscriber acquisition cost model provides a solid financial foundation for strong cash flow generation despite the impact from the COVID-19 Pandemic. We anticipate maintaining sufficient liquidity and capital resources to continue (i) providing essential services, (ii) satisfying our debt requirements, and (iii) having the ability to return capital to our stockholders in the form of a regular quarterly dividend during this challenging macroeconomic environment.

We considered the on-going and pervasive economic impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic in our assessment of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, as well as certain accounting estimates as of and for the periods presented. However, the evolving and uncertain nature of the COVID-19 Pandemic, as well as the evolving nature of the regulatory environment which may require vaccines or vaccine boosters or other actions that could impact our employee base or impose additional costs on our business, could materially impact our estimates and financial results in future reporting periods.

FACTORS AFFECTING OPERATING RESULTS

We have been focused on building the right platform for growth, which includes: improving customer satisfaction, increasing our recurring monthly revenue through customer acquisition, improving customer retention, reducing our revenue payback period, increasing the value of our offerings to customers through new products and services, and increasing the rate at which new customers opt for our interactive services.

In December 2021, we completed the ADT Solar Acquisition, which expanded our offerings and allowed us to enter the residential solar market. Consumer acceptance of solar energy and battery storage as the future of energy technology is growing. We believe solar is the next logical extension for our offerings, which provides us with the ability to offer an integrated home experience and increase our share in both markets.

Our ability to add new customers depends on the overall demand for our products and services, 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. Other factors include the following:

•Growth in our residential and small business customer base can be influenced by the overall state of the housing market, the perceived threat of crime, significant life events such as the birth of a child or opening of a new business, or incentives provided by insurance carriers.

•Growth in our commercial customer base can be influenced by the rate at which new businesses begin operations or existing businesses grow, as well as applicable building codes and insurance policies. In addition, changes in the market or competition, such as the acquisition or disposition of similar businesses by our competitors, may impact our ability to compete.

•Growth in our solar customer base can be influenced by the availability of rebates, tax credits, and other financial incentives, as well as traditional energy prices and grid reliability.

The demand for our products and services is also impacted by the price and quality of our products and services compared to those of our competitors.

As of March 31, 2022, we served approximately 6.7 million subscribers. Although our subscriber-based offerings require significant upfront investment to generate new customers, they also provide ongoing and predictable recurring revenue generated from our monitoring and other services. While the economics of an installation can vary depending on the customer acquisition channel, type of customer, and product offering, we generally achieve revenue break-even in less than two and a half years, which remains relatively consistent period-over-period.

We believe advancements in technology, younger generations of consumers, and shifts to de-urbanization have increased consumer interest in smart home offerings and other mobile technology applications; and we have made significant progress toward increasing the variety of our offerings to accommodate these changing interests. As a result of this, we may experience an increase in costs associated with items such as (i) offering a wider variety of products and services, (ii) providing more

interactive and smart home solutions, (iii) replacing or upgrading certain system components due to technological advancements or otherwise, and (iv) rising costs due to supply chain disruptions, inflation, other changes in prices or terms from our vendors, or rising labor costs. We have implemented certain actions across our business segments such as our virtual service support program in July 2021, which provides customers the ability to live video stream with our skilled technicians to troubleshoot and resolve service issues. This reduces the cost for us to provide certain services, and it also provides customers with more options for receiving service that best fits their lifestyles.

In addition, our results are impacted by the mix of transactions under a Company-owned model versus a customer-owned model due to the different accounting treatment applicable to each model. As we introduce new products and services, enhance our current offerings, continue building our partnership with Google LLC (“Google”), seek to satisfy consumer preferences, and refine our go-to-market approach, we expect to see a shift toward more outright sales, which will impact results in future periods.

Attrition has a direct impact on 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 as customers may choose not to renew or may terminate their contracts for a variety of reasons, including relocation, cost, loss to competition, or service issues. In addition, customers who we are not able to effectively transition prior to the applicable network sunset date, as discussed below, will experience a loss of signal, which could impact attrition in the future.

Prior to 2020, new customer additions and our disconnect rates on residential customers were typically higher during the second and third calendar quarters of each year relative to the first and fourth quarters due to several factors, such as the timing of household moves. We believe the COVID-19 Pandemic affected these seasonal trends beginning in 2020. We also believe the lower volume of customer relocations we experienced during 2020 and our use of temporary pricing and retention initiatives for existing customers helped counterbalance any increase in gross customer revenue attrition as a result of changes in consumer or business spending caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic. In addition, we believe uncertainties around the economic environment and COVID-19 Pandemic have increased consumer and business awareness of the need for security. We are currently unable to determine whether there will be any ongoing impact on our seasonality, and we may continue to experience fluctuations in certain trends, such as relocations, in the future.

We have not sought or requested government assistance as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, but we did experience a favorable cash flow impact during 2020 and other benefits associated with certain income tax and payroll tax provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), including the deferral of remittance of certain 2020 payroll taxes. We paid the majority of the first 50% of the deferred amount during the fourth quarter of 2021, with the remainder due by the end of 2022.

The factors described herein could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and key performance indicators.

Other Events and Updates

•Radio Conversion Costs - During 2019, we commenced a program to replace the 3G and Code-Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) cellular equipment used in many of our security systems as a result of the cellular network providers notifying us they will be retiring their 3G and CDMA networks beginning in February 2022. As of the start of the 3G sunset process in February 2022, we had converted substantially all of our remaining 3G customers. For those customers we are not or were not able to transition prior to or since the completion of the applicable network sunset, the loss of signal to the systems and certain services we provide may impact our ability to bill and/or collect from these customers in the future. Until the cellular network providers complete the applicable sunset processes, we cannot estimate the impact of the conversion on our attrition rate.

We do not expect the remaining radio conversion costs and related incremental revenue to be material.

•Google - The Company and Google entered into a Master Supply, Distribution, and Marketing Agreement (the “Google Commercial Agreement”), pursuant to which Google has agreed to supply the Company with certain Google devices as well as certain Google video and analytics services (“Google Devices and Services”) for sale to the Company’s customers. Subject to customary termination rights related to breach and change of control, the Google Commercial Agreement has an initial term of seven years from the date that the Google Devices and Services are successfully integrated into our end-user security and automation platform. Further, subject to certain carve-outs, we have agreed to exclusively sell Google Devices and Services to our customers.

If the integrated Google Devices and Services are not launched by June 30, 2022, Google has the contractual right to require us, with certain exceptions, to exclusively offer the Google Devices and Services without integration for all new professional installations and for existing customers who do not have ADT Pulse or ADT Control interactive services, until such integration has been made. The Company has already begun providing Google video services and devices and will continue to do so on a non-integrated basis as of June 30, 2022 and is working closely with Google toward an integrated solution. The Company launched the Google Nest doorbell during the first quarter of 2022, rolled out mesh Wi-Fi during the second quarter of 2022, and expects to launch Google indoor and outdoor cameras by the end of the third quarter of 2022.

The Google Commercial Agreement further specifies each party shall contribute $150 million towards the joint marketing of devices and services; customer acquisition; training of our employees on the sales, installation, customer service, and maintenance of the product and service offerings; and technology updates for products included in such offerings. Each party is required to contribute such funds in three equal tranches, subject to the attainment of certain milestones.

•Canopy Investment - In April 2022, we closed on our previously announced transaction with Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) to form a new entity, Canopy, which will combine ADT’s professional security monitoring and Ford’s AI-driven video camera technology to help customers strengthen security of new and existing vehicles across automotive brands. ADT and Ford expect to invest approximately $100 million collectively during the next three years, of which ADT will contribute 40%. As part of the initial funding at closing, our contribution totaled approximately $11 million.

Updates Related to Existing and Potential Tax Legislation

Delayed Effective Dates for Tax Law Changes under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

Certain changes to U.S. federal tax law included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act had a delayed effective date and have taken effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021. These changes include a limitation on net business interest expense deductions under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 163(j) no longer being increased by deductions for depreciation, amortization or depletion, and, under IRC Section 174, specified research and experimentation expenditures being capitalized and amortized. These items could result in increased taxable income and acceleration of net operating loss utilization, which could impact our tax expense and ultimately, our net income or loss.

Potential Federal Tax Legislation

The White House released its fiscal year 2023 budget in March 2022, which includes a proposal to raise the corporate tax rate to 28%. If the proposed tax rate increase is passed, the Company would need to revalue its deferred tax liabilities, which could further increase the Company’s effective tax rate. The fiscal year 2023 budget also includes a provision that would reinstate current deductibility for IRC Section 174 research and experimentation expenditures that became subject to capitalization and amortization beginning this year.

As discussed in our 2021 Annual Report, we had a significant amount of deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2021, against which we take valuation allowances that relate to the uncertainty of our ability to utilize these deferred tax assets in future periods. These valuation allowances were not material in 2021. We review periodically those matters that can influence our decision as to whether or not a valuation allowance is appropriate. Among those matters considered are pending and enacted legislation such as the updates described above. We will consider each quarter whether any developments to such legislation, together with the other factors we consider, require a valuation allowance. We believe that our deferred tax assets will grow meaningfully during 2022 and in subsequent years from their December 31, 2021 level. There is currently significant uncertainty in the matters we consider when determining whether it is appropriate to take additional valuation allowances and while we have not reported any material changes to our valuation allowances during the first quarter of 2022, we may determine to do so in any of the remaining quarters in 2022 and in subsequent years. Any material change to our valuation allowance that we have to take would materially and adversely affect our operating results and may result in a net loss position for any given period.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

In evaluating our results, we utilize key performance indicators, which include the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA, as well as certain other operating metrics such as recurring monthly revenue (“RMR”) and gross customer revenue attrition. Computations of our key performance indicators may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Certain operating metrics 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 conversions or historical methodology differences in legacy systems.

Adjusted EBITDA

We believe the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA 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.”

Recurring Monthly Revenue

RMR is generated by contractual recurring fees for monitoring and other recurring services provided to our customers.

We use RMR to evaluate our overall sales, installation, and retention performance. Additionally, we believe the presentation of RMR is useful because it measures the volume of revenue under contract at a given point in time. RMR is also a useful measure for forecasting future revenue performance as the majority of our revenue comes from recurring sources.

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, which is generally thirteen months.

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

We use gross customer revenue attrition to evaluate our retention and customer satisfaction performance, as well as evaluate subscriber trends by vintage year. Additionally, we believe the presentation of gross customer revenue attrition is useful as it provides a means to evaluate drivers of customer attrition and the impact of retention initiatives.

N/A — Not applicable.

Monitoring and Related Services Revenue (“M&S Revenue”):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2022		2021		$ Change
CSB	$	993,028	$	951,248	$	41,780
Commercial	128,268		111,518		16,750
Total M&S Revenue(1)	$	1,121,296	$	1,062,766	$	58,530

_________________

(1) M&S Revenue is not applicable to our Solar segment.

The increase in total M&S Revenue was primarily attributable to higher recurring revenue in CSB, which was driven by (i) improvements in average pricing as new and existing customers selected higher priced interactive and other services and (ii) an increase in the number of active subscribers since the prior year primarily due to investments in subscriber growth. The increase in Commercial was driven by higher recurring revenue primarily due to an increase in average prices and higher revenue per service call.

Total RMR was approximately $365 million and $349 million as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in RMR was primarily due to RMR added since 2021 and reflects growth initiatives and improvements in average pricing.

Gross customer revenue attrition was 12.9% and 13.1% as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in gross customer revenue attrition was primarily attributable to lower voluntary and non-payment disconnects as a result of customer retention initiatives.

Installation, Product, and Other Revenue:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2022		2021		$ Change
CSB	$	69,561	$	87,357	$	(17,796)
Commercial	161,909		154,581		7,328
Solar	191,981		—		191,981
Total installation, product, and other revenue	$	423,451	$	241,938	$	181,513

Total installation, product, and other revenue increased primarily due to revenue from Solar installations, which includes a reduction of approximately $30 million from the amortization of purchase accounting adjustments, as a result of the ADT Solar Acquisition in December 2021. The decrease in CSB was driven by a lower volume of outright sales transactions partially offset by additional amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition revenue as a result of our transition to a predominately Company-owned model, which was completed during March 2021.

Cost of Revenue:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2022		2021		$ Change
CSB	$	171,180	$	193,371	$	(22,191)
Commercial	203,184		187,795		15,389
Solar	135,404		—		135,404
Total cost of revenue	$	509,768	$	381,166	$	128,602

Total cost of revenue increased primarily due to cost of revenue from Solar installations as a result of the ADT Solar Acquisition in December 2021. The decrease in CSB was driven by a decrease in installation costs due to a lower volume of outright sales transactions as a result of our transition to a predominately Company-owned model, which was completed during March 2021. In addition, CSB field service and call center costs remained relatively flat despite rising costs and providing service to a larger number of customers, including a higher mix of interactive services. CSB field service and call center costs also reflected cost savings primarily due to the virtual service program implemented in 2021. The increase in Commercial cost of revenue was driven by an increase in field service and call center costs primarily due to higher prices on parts, labor, and fuel.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses:

The increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses was primarily driven by higher selling, general, and administrative expenses of approximately $76 million as a result of the ADT Solar Acquisition in December 2021. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in radio conversion costs of $52 million primarily due to a decrease in the number of conversions as we approach the end of the program, as well as a decrease in advertising costs primarily due to our efforts to optimize our advertising model.

Depreciation and Intangible Asset Amortization:

Depreciation and intangible asset amortization remained relatively flat and primarily reflected increases in (i) amortization of customer contracts acquired under the ADT Authorized Dealer Program as a result of customer contract additions through our Authorized Dealer Network and from other third parties and (ii) depreciation of subscriber system assets as a result of an increase in Company-owned transactions, partially offset by a decrease in the amortization of customer relationships acquired as part of the acquisition of The ADT Security Corporation in 2016 (the “ADT Acquisition”).

The majority of the remaining net book value of customer relationships acquired in the ADT Acquisition will be amortized during 2022 with the remainder amortized during 2023.

Merger, Restructuring, Integration, and Other:

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, merger, restructuring, integration, and other was not material.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, merger, restructuring, integration, and other primarily included an $18 million impairment charge in CSB due to lower than expected benefits from our developed-technology intangible asset acquired during November 2020.

Interest Expense, net:

The decrease in interest expense, net, was primarily driven by unrealized gains on interest rate swap contracts not designated as cash flow hedges of $145 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $107 million during the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in the forward London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).

Income Tax Benefit (Expense):

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $20 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 27.4%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory rate of 21.0%, a state statutory tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 6.7%, and a 2.6% favorable impact of share-based compensation, partially offset by a 2.7% unfavorable impact of permanent items.

Income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $15 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 23.3%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0%, a state statutory tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 2.8%, and a 2.8% favorable impact of share-based compensation, partially offset by a 1.6% unfavorable impact of state legislative changes.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

To provide investors with additional information in connection with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP measure. This measure is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and it should not be considered as a substitute for net income, operating income, 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 the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful as it provides investors additional information about our operating profitability adjusted for certain non-cash items, non-routine items we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items 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 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, net; and (ix) other income/gain or expense/loss items such as impairment charges, financing and consent fees, or acquisition-related adjustments.

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 (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 or loss as calculated in accordance with GAAP.

The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss):


	Three Months Ended March 31,

(1) During 2022, primarily represents the amortization of the customer backlog intangible asset, which was fully amortized as of March 2022, related to the ADT Solar Acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDA in total and by segment was as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)		2022		2021		$ Change
CSB		$	560,545	$	519,478	$	41,067
Commercial		23,630		22,653		977
Solar		16,822		—		16,822
Adjusted EBITDA		$	600,997	$	542,131	$	58,866

The explanations below exclude amounts outside of our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, as applicable.

The increase in total Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to CSB, which was driven by an increase in M&S Revenue and a decrease in advertising costs, partially offset by (i) an increase in general and administrative expenses and (ii) a decrease in installation revenue, net of the associated installation costs and commissions, as discussed above.

Commercial Adjusted EBITDA remained relatively flat and primarily included an increase in M&S Revenue, offset by (i) an increase in field service and call center costs and (ii) an increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Solar Adjusted EBITDA primarily reflects installation revenue, net of the associated installation costs and commissions, partially offset by selling, general, and administrative expenses.

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

Cash and cash equivalents	$	17,404
Availability under First Lien Revolving Credit Facility	$	405,000
Uncommitted available borrowing capacity under Receivables Facility	$	175,024
Carrying amount of total debt outstanding	$	9,861,667

Liquidity

We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations, borrowings under our first lien revolving credit facility (the “First Lien Revolving Credit Facility”) and our uncommitted receivables securitization financing agreement (the “Receivables Facility”), 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 are a highly leveraged company with significant debt service requirements. We may periodically 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, privately negotiated transactions, 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 First Lien Revolving Credit Facility and Receivables Facility, 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.

By June 2023, LIBOR will be replaced with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) (the “SOFR Transition Date”), at which point the applicable benchmark for all existing and new issuances with a variable rate debt component will be based on SOFR. Our first lien term loan facility (the “First Lien Term Loan due 2026”) and First Lien Revolving Credit Facility are and will continue to be based on LIBOR until the SOFR Transition Date. However, any modification, such as a repricing entered into after December 31, 2021, will require transition to SOFR. Additionally, any new issuances with a variable rate debt component entered into after December 31, 2021 will utilize SOFR per the terms of the credit agreement. In April 2022, the Receivables Facility was amended to provide for an interim early transition to SOFR for the period beginning April 2022. The impact of the transition to SOFR is not expected to be material.

Material Cash Requirements

There have been no material changes to our short-term or long-term material cash requirements, or our commitments and contractual obligations from those disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report, except as discussed below:

Customer Account Purchases

In 2021, we entered into agreements for potential future customer account purchases from two distinct third parties, assuming certain conditions are met, over the course of those agreements. As of March 31, 2022, we expect that remaining commitments for those potential future customer account purchases could total approximately $33 million through January 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there have been no material changes to our off-balance sheet arrangements as disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report, except as discussed below:

During March 2022, we entered into an unsecured Credit Agreement with Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company, as administrative agent and issuing lender (the “Issuing Lender”), together with other lenders party thereto, pursuant to which we may request the Issuing Lender to issue one or more letters of credit for its own account or the account of its subsidiaries, in an aggregate face amount not to exceed $75 million at any one time.

Long-Term Debt

There have been no material changes to our long-term debt from those disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report, except as discussed below:

First Lien Credit Agreement

As of March 31, 2022, we had $170 million in outstanding borrowings under our First Lien Revolving Credit Facility; and during the three months ended March 31, 2022, we borrowed $280 million and repaid $135 million.

Receivables Facility

As of March 31, 2022, we had an outstanding balance of $225 million under the Receivables Facility; and during the three months ended March 31, 2022, we received proceeds of $47 million and repaid $21 million.

Debt Covenants

As of March 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all financial covenant and other maintenance tests for all our debt obligations. We do not believe there is a material risk of future noncompliance with our financial covenant and other maintenance tests as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, or otherwise.

Dividends

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we declared aggregate dividends of $30 million ($0.035 per share) on our Common Stock and $2 million ($0.035 per share) on our Class B Common Stock.

In comparison, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, we declared aggregate dividends of $27 million ($0.035 per share) on our Common Stock and $2 million ($0.035 per share) on our Class B Common Stock.

On May 5, 2022, we announced a dividend of $0.035 per share to holders of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of record on June 16, 2022, which will be distributed on July 5, 2022.

Cash Flow Analysis


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2022		2021		$ Change
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	308,072	$	359,334	$	(51,262)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	(405,123)	$	(399,112)	$	(6,011)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	91,845	$	(40,685)	$	132,530

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to:

•an increase in payments related to our annual incentive compensation plan of $49 million due to a partial payment in the prior year, and

•timing of payments to and receipts from vendors primarily related to accounts payable and inventory.

These activities were partially offset by:

•a decrease in payments related to radio conversion costs, net of the related incremental revenue, of $39 million, and

•a decrease in cash interest of $11 million from various refinancing transactions of our long-term debt.

The remainder of the activity related 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

Cash flows used in investing activities remained relatively flat and included an increase in subscriber system assets expenditures as a result of an increase in Company-owned transactions and our growth initiatives, partially offset by a decrease in dealer generated customer accounts and bulk account purchases primarily as a result of fewer accounts purchased from third parties in 2022 as compared to 2021.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities primarily consisted of (i) $145 million of net proceeds under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) $26 million of net proceeds under the Receivables Facility, partially offset by $32 million of dividend payments on common stock and $13 million of payments related to interest rate swap contracts that included an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, net cash used in financing activities primarily consisted of (i) $29 million of dividend payments on common stock and (ii) $14 million of payments on interest rate swap contracts that included an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception, partially offset by $22 million of net proceeds under the Receivables Facility.

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 amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. 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.

We disclosed our accounting policies and critical accounting estimates in our 2021 Annual Report, which 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 pronouncements and adoptions.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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; outcomes of regulatory proceedings; market conditions; our ability to successfully respond to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 Pandemic; our strategic partnership and ongoing relationship with Google; the expected timing of product commercialization with Google or any changes thereto; the successful internal development, commercialization, and timing of our next generation platform and innovative offerings; the successful commercialization of our joint venture with Ford; our recent acquisition of ADT Solar; 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 sentences, 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, in each case, their negative or other various or comparable terminology, 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. For ADT, particular uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements include, without limitation:

•our ability to keep pace with rapid technological changes, including the development of our next-generation platform, and industry changes;

•our ability to effectively implement our strategic partnership with or utilize any of the amounts invested in us by Google;

•the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our employees, our customers, our suppliers and our ability to carry on our normal operations;

•the impact of supply chain disruptions;

•our ability to maintain and grow our existing customer base;

•our ability to sell our products and services or launch new products and services in highly competitive markets, including the home security and automation market, the commercial fire and security markets, and the solar market, and to achieve market acceptance with acceptable margins;

•our ability to successfully upgrade obsolete equipment installed at our customers’ premises in an efficient and cost-effective manner;

•changes in law, economic and financial conditions, including tax law changes, changes to privacy requirements, changes to telemarketing, email marketing and similar consumer protection laws, interest volatility, and trade tariffs and restrictions applicable to the products we sell;

•our ability to successfully pursue alternate business opportunities and strategies;

•our ability to integrate various companies we have acquired in an efficient and cost-effective manner;

•the amount and timing of our cash flows and earnings, which may be impacted by customer, competitive, supplier and other dynamics and conditions;

•our ability to maintain or improve margins through business efficiencies;

•and the other factors that are described in this report under the heading “Risk Factors.”

Forward-looking statements and information involve 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 or referenced under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A in our 2021 Annual Report. 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 this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. 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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Our operations expose us to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates as we have both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. We monitor and manage these financial exposures as an integral part of our overall risk management program. Our policies allow for the use of specified financial instruments for hedging purposes only. Use of derivatives for speculation purposes is prohibited.

There were no material changes in our interest rate risk exposure to that disclosed in our 2021 Annual Report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
