1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business and Organization

ADT Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “ADT” or the “Company”), provides security, interactive, and smart home solutions to consumer and small business customers, as well as residential solar and energy storage solutions, in the United States (“U.S.”). As discussed below, on October 2, 2023, the Company divested its Commercial Business (as defined below), which provided security and other solutions to commercial customers.

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 included herein have been prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The financial statements included herein comprise the consolidated results of ADT Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The results of companies acquired are included from the effective dates of acquisition; and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company uses the equity method of accounting to account for an investment in which it has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control.

As discussed below under the heading “Commercial Divestiture,” beginning in the third quarter of 2023, the Company presented its Commercial Business as discontinued operations.

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 for a fair statement of 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, 2022 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Certain information and footnote disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted as appropriate. 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 Amended 2022 Annual Report (as defined and discussed below).

Restatement

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 10, 2023, in connection with the preparation of the Company’s second quarter 2023 condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company identified errors in the non-cash goodwill impairment losses associated with its Solar reporting unit and related tax impacts recognized during the third quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023 as a result of the Company not applying the simultaneous equation method prescribed by Accounting Standards Update 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”). As a result, on July 27, 2023, the Company filed an Amendment No. 1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Amended 2022 Annual Report”), which was originally filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023 (the “Original 2022 Annual Report”). The Company also restated its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended September 30, 2022, and March 31, 2023, by filing amendments to the respective original Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q with the SEC on July 27, 2023.

Commercial Divestiture

On August 7, 2023, ADT, Iris Buyer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of GTCR LLC (“GTCR”), and, solely for certain purposes set forth in the Commercial Purchase Agreement (as defined below), Fire & Security Holdings, LLC (“F&S Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of ADT, entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Commercial Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which GTCR agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of F&S Holdings, which directly or indirectly held all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in the subsidiaries of ADT that operated ADT’s commercial business (the “Commercial Business”) (the “Commercial Divestiture”).

On October 2, 2023, the Company completed the previously announced Commercial Divestiture for a total purchase price of approximately $1,613 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, and received net proceeds of approximately $1,585 million, excluding transaction costs.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, the Company presented its Commercial Business as a discontinued operation as the Commercial Divestiture met all of the held for sale criteria for the disposal group and represented a strategic shift that has and will continue to have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial statements. The change is reflected in all periods presented. Additionally, the cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) of the Commercial Business have not been segregated and are included in the interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), respectively, for all periods presented.

Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the Company’s continuing operations.

Refer to Note 5 “Divestitures” for additional information.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these 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.

The Company considered recent impacts from macroeconomic conditions such as inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, the uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, and supply chain disruptions, as well as any on-going impacts from the COVID-19 Pandemic (as defined below), 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.

COVID-19 Pandemic - During March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus as a pandemic (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”). As of September 30, 2023, the impact to the Company, as well as its response plan, has not materially changed from that described in the Amended 2022 Annual Report.

Segments

The Company has historically reported results for three operating and reportable segments organized based on customer type: Consumer and Small Business (“CSB”), Commercial, and Solar. As a result of the Commercial Divestiture, results of the Commercial Business are classified as discontinued operations and thus excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Accordingly, the Company now reports its results in two operating and reportable segments, CSB and Solar, with the change reflected in all periods presented. Prior to the third quarter of 2023, the Commercial Business was reflected in the Commercial reportable segment.

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.

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

Retail Installment Contract Receivables, net

For security system transactions occurring under both Company-owned and customer-owned equipment models, 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 there is no significant financing component.

Upon origination of a retail installment contract, the Company utilizes external credit scores to assess customer credit quality and determine eligibility. Subsequent to origination, the Company monitors the delinquency status of retail installment contract receivables as the key credit quality indicator.

The balance of unbilled retail installment contract receivables comprises:

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, retail installment contract receivables, net, used as collateral for borrowings under the 2020 Receivables Facility were $594 million and $506 million, respectively. Refer to Note 8 “Debt” for further discussion regarding the 2020 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, which generally occurs over the course of a 24-, 36-, or 60-month period as additional services are performed and billed. The financing component of contract assets is not significant.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, contract assets recognized were not material.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company’s segments are 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.

As discussed in Note 1 “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” effective in the third quarter of 2023, the Company reports results in two operating and reportable segments: CSB and Solar. Prior to the third quarter of 2023, the Commercial Business was reflected in the Commercial reportable segment. Certain allocated shared costs that were previously included in the Commercial reportable segment that do not qualify to be presented within discontinued operations are now reflected in the CSB reportable segment consistent with other unallocated corporate and other costs as discussed below. There have been no other changes to the Company’s segments from that disclosed in the Amended 2022 Annual Report.

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

•CSB - Customers in the CSB segment are comprised of owners and renters of residential properties, small business operators, and other individual consumers. The CSB segment includes the sale, installation, servicing, and monitoring of integrated security and automation systems and other related offerings.

•Solar - Customers in the Solar segment are comprised of residential homeowners. The Solar segment includes the sale and installation of solar systems, energy storage solutions, roofing services, and other related offerings.

The CSB and Solar segments include the respective revenue and operating costs related to the activities noted above, other operating costs associated with support functions related to these operations, and certain dedicated corporate costs and other income and expense items. The CSB segment includes general corporate costs and other income and expense items not included in the Solar segment.

The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which is the Company’s segment profit measure, to evaluate segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income or loss from continuing operations 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 items such as separation costs; (vii) losses on extinguishment of debt; (viii) radio conversion costs, net; (ix) adjustments related to acquisitions, such as contingent consideration and purchase accounting adjustments, or dispositions; (x) impairment charges; and (xi) other income/gain or expense/loss items such as changes in fair value of certain financial instruments or financing and consent fees.

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

The remaining balance primarily included ADT Solar purchase accounting adjustments and net radio conversion costs, offset by gain on sale of a business.

4. ACQUISITIONS

There was no acquisition activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, total consideration for continuing and discontinued operations related to acquisitions was approximately $31 million, including approximately $15 million in shares of the Company’s common stock. This resulted in the recognition of approximately $24 million of goodwill.

5. DIVESTITURES

The Company may decide to divest a portion of its business for various reasons, including efforts to focus on its other businesses. The Company presents discontinued operations for components of the business that are either disposed of through sale (or qualify as held for sale), abandonment, or spin-off if these actions also represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s financial results.

Commercial Divestiture

As discussed in Note 1 “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” as a result of the Commercial Divestiture, the disposal group met the established held for sale criteria, and the Company classified the assets and

ADT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

liabilities related to the Commercial Business as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods presented.

The Commercial Divestiture supports the Company’s strategic journey and strengthens its financial profile. Furthermore, the Commercial Divestiture represents a strategic shift that has and will continue to have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial statements, and therefore, the results of operations of the Commercial Business are classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented.

As the agreed upon sale price was substantially higher than the carrying value of the Commercial Business, the Company did not record any impairment or adjustments when recognizing the disposal group at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

As discussed in Note 3 “Segment Information,” the Commercial Business was previously reflected in the Commercial reportable segment.

On October 2, 2023, the Company completed the Commercial Divestiture, and received net proceeds of approximately $1,585 million, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments as set forth in the Commercial Purchase Agreement. In addition, the Company will recognize a significant gain on sale, which will be recognized in income (loss) from discontinued operations during the fourth quarter of 2023.

The Company used a portion of the net proceeds to redeem approximately $1.3 billion of the Company’s first lien term loan facility due 2026 (the “First Lien Term Loan due 2026”). The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds and cash on hand to redeem $500 million of the Company’s outstanding 5.250% First-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “First Lien Notes due 2024”) during the Company’s fourth quarter of 2023. Refer to Note 8 “Debt” for further discussion.

Refer to Note 13 “Net Income (Loss) per Share” for basic and diluted earnings per share information for discontinued operations.

Transition Services Agreement

In connection with the Commercial Divestiture, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA”), pursuant to which the Company and the Commercial Business will provide certain transitional services relating to ongoing support and other administrative functions to each other for a transitional period of up to 24 months after the closing of the Commercial Divestiture. TSA fees charged to the Commercial Business represent charges for internal labor as well as certain third-party costs identified in connection with providing such services. Income from the TSA will be recognized in other income (expense), and expenses incurred by the Company to support the transition will be recorded based on the nature of the expense.

ADT Brand License and Intellectual Property (“IP”) Rights

The Company and GTCR entered into an agreement granting GTCR a license to continue to use the ADT brand and other Company trademarks for a period of twelve months to transition from Company branding (the “Brand License”). The Company has also agreed to a covenant not to assert a claim against GTCR for infringement of Company's patents as of the Commercial Divestiture for products and services that were used in the Commercial Business prior to the Commercial Divestiture, and has provided GTCR with a paid-up, irrevocable, non-assignable (with limited exceptions) license to continue to use certain software and other Company IP in the same manner.

Other Divestitures

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to sell substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities of its Vintage Security business (the “Vintage Security Divestiture”). As a result, the disposal group was classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2023, and the assets and liabilities of the Vintage Security business were reflected as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023. The results of operations of the Vintage Security business are reflected in the CSB segment and did not meet the criteria to be presented as a discontinued operation. On October 2, 2023, the Company completed the Vintage Security Divestiture for net proceeds of approximately $36 million, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments.

ADT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(Unaudited)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, proceeds related to disposal activities totaled approximately $27 million, resulting in a gain on sale of approximately $10 million recognized in SG&A.

6. EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS

Canopy Investment

In April 2022, the Company and Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) formed the entity, SNTNL LLC (“Canopy”). Canopy meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) because the Company holds a variable interest through its 40% investment in Canopy’s preferred class of equity (the “Canopy Investment”) and fees received under various commercial agreements between the Company and Canopy. The Company is not the primary beneficiary, and therefore, does not consolidate Canopy’s assets, liabilities, and financial results of operations. As a result, the Company accounts for its investment in Canopy under the equity method of accounting.

The impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of the Canopy Investment or the commercial agreements was not material during the periods presented.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Canopy Investment’s carrying amount was approximately $5 million and $7 million, respectively, and is presented in other assets. The balance primarily reflects the initial contribution, plus an additional investment of approximately $5 million during the first quarter of 2023, as well as the Company’s proportionate share of Canopy’s cumulative net earnings or losses.

Subsequent event - In October 2023, the Company began discussions with Ford to sell its shares in Canopy, in accordance with the terms of the agreement between the Company and Ford, which includes a put right under which the Company is entitled to recover its full equity investment in Canopy plus a premium. The sale of ADT’s equity investment in Canopy is expected to close by the first quarter of 2024, after which the Company will no longer hold an investment in Canopy.

7. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Changes in the carrying amounts of goodwill by reportable segment were as follows:


(in thousands)	CSB		Solar		Total
Balance as of December 31, 2022	$	4,919,251	$	511,176	$	5,430,427

________________

(1) Includes the impact of measurement period adjustments which were not material during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

(2) Relates to the presentation of Vintage Security as held for sale as discussed in Note 5 “Divestitures.”

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had accumulated goodwill impairment losses of $712 million and $201 million, respectively, associated with the Company’s Solar reporting unit.

Solar Goodwill Impairment

During the first and second quarters of 2023, the Company performed interim impairment quantitative assessments on the Solar reporting unit as a result of triggering events as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 and recorded goodwill impairment charges of $242 million and $181 million during the first and second quarters of 2023, respectively. These triggering events resulted from the then-current macroeconomic conditions, including the impact of rising interest rates, as well as ADT Solar’s continued underperformance of operating results in each quarter relative to expectations. As a result and as previously disclosed, the Solar reporting unit was considered at risk for future impairment following the impairments in the first and second quarters of 2023.

ADT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

In addition, the Company concluded there was a triggering event as of September 30, 2023, related to its Solar reporting unit as a result of continued deterioration of industry conditions and macroeconomic decline, as well as the Company’s recent plan to significantly reduce the footprint of its Solar reporting unit, including certain existing underperforming branches and related headcount reductions. As a result, the Company determined that the remaining balance of goodwill was not recoverable and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $88 million in the third quarter of 2023. Following the impairments during 2023, the balance of goodwill in the Solar reporting unit was zero. The Company also assessed the recoverability of other long-lived assets related to its Solar business, and impairment charges recorded were not material.

The fair value of the Solar reporting unit is estimated using the income approach, which includes significant assumptions such as forecasted revenue, Adjusted EBITDA margins, and discount rates, as well as other assumptions including operating expenses and cash flows. In developing these assumptions, the Company relies on various factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and other market data. Examples of events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying judgments and factors may include such items as a prolonged downturn in the business environment, changes in economic conditions that significantly differ from the Company’s assumptions in timing or degree, volatility in equity and debt markets resulting in higher discount rates, and unexpected regulatory changes. There are inherent uncertainties related to these judgments and factors that may ultimately impact the estimated fair value determinations.

Additionally, during the first quarter of 2023, the Company retired approximately $1.7 billion of customer relationship intangible assets that became fully amortized. These assets were originally acquired as part of the 2016 acquisition of The ADT Security Corporation (formerly named The ADT Corporation) (“The ADT Corporation”) (the “ADT Acquisition”).

(1) Interest rate as of September 30, 2023. During June 2023, the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) replaced the forward London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) as the applicable benchmark rate for all remaining existing and future issuances of the Company’s debt instruments with a variable rate component. Interest on the 2020 Receivables Facility is primarily based on SOFR +0.95% and Cost of Funds (“COF”) +0.85%.

(2) Other debt primarily consists of vehicle loans at various interest rates and maturities.

(3) Refer to Note 15 “Leases” for additional information regarding the Company’s finance leases.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenant and other maintenance tests for all of its debt obligations.

Significant changes in the Company’s debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were as follows:

First Lien Credit Agreement

The Company’s first lien credit agreement, dated as of July 1, 2015 (together with subsequent amendments and restatements, the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), contains the First Lien Term Loan due 2026 and the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no borrowings under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility; and as of September 30, 2023, the Company had $575 million in available borrowing capacity.

ADT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company borrowed $480 million and repaid $505 million under its First Lien Revolving Credit Facility.

Subsequent Event - In October 2023, the Company redeemed approximately $1.3 billion of the First Lien Term Loan due 2026 using net proceeds from the Commercial Divestiture.

Further, the Company refinanced the remaining outstanding balance of the First Lien Term Loan due 2026 with a new $1,375 million 7-year term loan B due 2030 (the “First Lien Term Loan B due 2030”) through an amendment to the existing First Lien Credit Agreement.

The First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 requires scheduled quarterly amortization payments, commencing on March 31, 2024, equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030, with the remaining balance payable at maturity. The Company may make voluntary prepayments on the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 at any time prior to maturity at par, subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium in the event of certain specified refinancing events at any time during the first six months after the Closing Date. The First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a term SOFR rate (“Term SOFR”) with a floor of zero or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the rate of interest per annum last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the United States and (iii) the one-month adjusted term SOFR plus 1.00% per annum (“Base Rate”), in each case, plus an applicable margin of 2.50% per annum for Term SOFR loans and 1.50% per annum for Base Rate loans. The Company has elected the Term SOFR alternative to apply to borrowings of the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030.

Other than as described above, the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 continues to have the same terms as provided under the existing First Lien Credit Agreement.

Term Loan A Facility

On March 14, 2023, Prime Security Services Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of the Company, Prime Security Services Borrower, LLC (“Prime Borrower”), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Holdings, and The ADT Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Prime Borrower (together with Prime Borrower, the “Term Loan A Borrowers”), entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan A Credit Agreement”) with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, pursuant to which such lenders provided the Term Loan A Borrowers with an aggregate principal amount of $600 million of term loans (the “Closing Date Term Loan A Loans”) under a senior secured term loan A facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”).

Also on March 14, 2023, Holdings, the Term Loan A Borrowers, the subsidiary loan parties thereto, Barclays Bank PLC, and the lender party thereto entered into an amendment to the Term Loan A Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the lender party thereto agreed, at the option of the Term Loan A Borrowers and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions, to provide the Term Loan A Borrowers with an aggregate principal amount of $50 million of incremental term loans (the “Incremental Term Loan A Loans”) under the Term Loan A Facility on or before the scheduled maturity date of the Company’s 4.125% senior notes due June 15, 2023 (the “ADT Notes due 2023”). On June 15, 2023, the Company borrowed the Incremental Term Loan A Loans and used the proceeds to complete the redemption of approximately $50 million of the ADT Notes due 2023. The Incremental Term Loan A Loans have the same terms as, and constitutes one class with, the Closing Date Term Loan A Loans.

The Term Loan A Facility has a maturity date of March 14, 2028, subject to a springing maturity of 91 days prior to the maturity date of certain long-term indebtedness of Prime Borrower and its subsidiaries if, on such date, the aggregate principal amount of such indebtedness equals or exceeds $100 million.

The Term Loan A Facility requires scheduled amortization payments in annual amounts equal to 5.00% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A Facility, payable quarterly, with the balance payable at maturity. The Term Loan A Borrowers may make voluntary prepayments under the Term Loan A Facility at any time prior to maturity at par.

Borrowings under the Term Loan A Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at Prime Borrower’s option, either (a) a term SOFR rate plus an adjustment of 0.10% (“Term SOFR”) or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the rate of interest per annum last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the U.S., and (iii) the one-month adjusted term SOFR plus 1.00% per annum, in each case, plus an applicable margin of 2.50% per annum for SOFR loans and 1.50% per annum for base rate loans, subject to adjustments based on certain specified

net first lien leverage ratios. Prime Borrower has elected the Term SOFR alternative to apply to borrowings under the Term Loan A Facility.

Indebtedness incurred under the Term Loan A Facility is guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured first-priority basis, by Holdings, on a limited recourse basis, and by substantially all of Prime Borrower’s wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries, and is secured by a pledge of Prime Borrower’s capital stock directly held by Holdings and by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of Prime Borrower and the subsidiary guarantors, in each case subject to certain permitted liens and exceptions. The Term Loan A Facility is subject to customary mandatory prepayment provisions, covenants, and restrictions, including a financial maintenance covenant requiring the Term Loan A Facility Borrowers to comply as of the last day of each fiscal quarter with a specified maximum consolidated net first lien leverage ratio.

Fees associated with the Term Loan A Facility were not material during the periods presented.

ADT Notes due 2023 Redemption

On March 15, 2023, the Company used the proceeds from the Closing Date Term Loan A Loans to redeem approximately $600 million of the ADT Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes Partial Redemption”) for a total redemption price of approximately $600 million, excluding any accrued and unpaid interest. Loss on extinguishment of debt was not material.

On June 15, 2023, the Company redeemed the remaining outstanding balance of approximately $100 million of the ADT Notes due 2023 using $50 million of proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan A Loans and cash on hand.

First Lien Notes due 2024 Partial Redemption

On May 2, 2023, the Company redeemed $150 million principal amount of the $750 million outstanding First Lien Notes due 2024 for a redemption price of $150 million, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, using cash on hand. Loss on extinguishment of debt was not material.

Subsequent Event - In October 2023, the Company issued a notice of redemption to redeem approximately $500 million principal amount of the outstanding First Lien Notes due 2024 by the end of 2023 using remaining net proceeds from the Commercial Divestiture and cash on hand.

2020 Receivables Facility

Under the 2020 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.

In March 2023, the Company amended the agreement governing the 2020 Receivables Facility, pursuant to which, among other things, the borrowing capacity was increased from $400 million to $500 million and the uncommitted revolving period was extended from May 2023 to March 2024.

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an uncommitted available borrowing capacity under the 2020 Receivables Facility of approximately $77 million.

The 2020 Receivables Facility did not have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the periods presented.

Variable Interest Entity

The SPE meets the definition of a 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 Company consolidates the SPE’s assets, liabilities, and financial results of operations.

The SPE’s assets and liabilities primarily consist of a portion of the Company’s unbilled retail installment contract receivables, net, as discussed in Note 2 “Revenue and Receivables,” and borrowings under the 2020 Receivables Facility, as presented above.

Solar Receivables Facility

On August 2, 2023, Compass Solar Group, LLC (“Compass”) and ADT Solar Finance LLC (“ADT Solar Finance”), each an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ADT Inc. entered into a Receivables Financing Agreement with Mizuho Bank, Ltd. (the “Solar Receivables Financing Agreement”) to finance receivables generated by the installation of residential solar systems. The Solar Receivables Financing Agreement, among other things, provides for an uncommitted revolving loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million, which loans are secured by substantially all the assets of ADT Solar Finance (the “Solar Receivables Facility”). The Solar Receivables Financing Agreement has an initial revolving period of one year (which may be extended by agreement of the parties) followed by an amortization period of 300 months to maturity where all collections on the receivables during such period will be applied to prepay the loan until reduced to zero, which will occur only if the Solar Receivables Financing Agreement is not mutually extended on a revolving basis. The interest rate under the Solar Receivables Financing Agreement is the sum of (x) term SOFR (plus a credit adjustment spread of 0.1%) plus (y) 1.0% (increased to 3.5% after the termination date) or, with respect to loans funded by a Conduit Lender (as defined in the Solar Receivables Financing Agreement), the sum of (x) the applicable rate set forth in the Receivables Financing Agreement plus (y) 1.0% (increased to 3.5% after the termination date).

In connection with such Solar Receivables Financing Agreement, certain other agreements relating to the transaction were entered into, including ADT Solar Finance’s limited liability company agreement, a Receivables Sale Agreement between Compass and ADT Solar Finance, pursuant to which Compass sells such receivables from time to time to ADT Solar Finance, a Performance Support Agreement entered into by ADT Inc., pursuant to which ADT Inc. guaranteed certain obligations under the Solar Receivables Financing Agreement and related transaction documents and certain account control agreements and security agreements, were also entered into.

As of September 30, 2023, we have not borrowed any amounts under the Solar Receivable Facility.

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's derivative financial instruments primarily consist of interest rate swap contracts, which were entered into with the objective of managing exposure to variability in interest rates on the Company's debt. As of July 2023, SOFR is the applicable benchmark for all of the Company's interest rate swap contracts. 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.

•Designated as cash flow hedges: Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) 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.

Interest Rate Swaps:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $300 million to partially hedge the Term Loan A Facility.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, AOCI, net of tax, related to previously designated cash flow hedges was $15 million and $46 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2023, AOCI associated with previously designated cash flow hedges that is estimated to be reclassified to interest expense, net, within the next twelve months is not material.

10. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023, 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 discussion below is based on the continuing operations of the Company.

ADT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The Company’s income tax benefit (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $(39) million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 186.5%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory rate of 21.0%, a state statutory tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 34.0%, and unfavorable impacts related to the Solar goodwill impairment, non-deductible executive compensation, non-U.S. earnings, and other items, partially offset by favorable impacts from federal tax credits, impacts from dispositions and acquisitions, and losses from equity method investee and other items.

The Company’s income tax benefit (expense) for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $16 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 8.6%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory rate of 21.0%, a state statutory tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 6.0%, and favorable impacts from research and development (“R&D”) credits and other items, partially offset by an unfavorable impact related to the fair value adjustment of the Forward Contract.

The Company’s income tax benefit (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $12 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 8.0%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory rate of 21.0%, a state statutory tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 21.4%, and unfavorable impacts related to the Solar goodwill impairment, non-deductible executive compensation, and non-U.S. earnings and other items, partially offset by favorable impacts from federal tax credits, losses from equity method investee, impacts from dispositions and acquisitions and other items.

The Company’s income tax benefit (expense) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $(38) million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 749.5%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0%, a state statutory tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 5.1%, as well as unfavorable impacts related to the fair value adjustment of the Forward Contract, prior year return adjustments, and other items, partially offset by favorable impacts from R&D credits, changes in the Company’s valuation allowances, legislative changes, and other items.

11. 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”).

12. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company completed its annual long-term incentive plan equity award to employees and granted approximately 6.6 million RSUs under its 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2018 Plan”) with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $7.60 equal to the closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. These RSUs are service-based awards with a three-year graded vesting period from the date of grant.

Share-based compensation expense included in discontinued operations was approximately $6 million and $12 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and approximately $3 million and $10 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

13. 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 dividends declared and participation rights in the remaining undistributed earnings or 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. 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 and excludes potentially dilutive securities whose effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Common Stock:

Potential shares of Common Stock include (i) incremental shares related to the vesting or exercise of share-based compensation awards, warrants, and other options to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock calculated using the treasury stock method and (ii) incremental shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Class B Common Stock. Additionally, the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for Common Stock exclude approximately 9 million unvested shares as their vesting is contingent upon achievement of certain performance requirements.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s contractual obligations as compared to December 31, 2022, except as discussed below:

Repurchase of Solar Loans

As of September 30, 2023, the liability related to certain loans provided to customers within the Company’s Solar business that the Company may be required to repurchase from third party lenders was approximately $16 million. This liability is partially offset by a net receivable of $6 million related to the amount the Company ultimately expects to recover from any loans required to be repurchased, either through ongoing loan payments from the customer or proceeds from subsequent resale of the loans.

Google Commercial Agreement

In July 2020, 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.

The Google Commercial Agreement also specifies that each party shall contribute $150 million towards joint marketing, customer acquisition, training of the Company’s employees, and product technology updates related to the Google Devices and Services. In August 2022, the Company and Google executed an amendment to the Google Commercial Agreement, pursuant to which Google has agreed to commit an additional $150 million to fund growth, data and insights, product innovation and technology advancements, customer acquisition, and marketing, as mutually agreed by the Company and Google, (together with the initial amounts, the “Google Success Funds”).

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, $27.5 million and $40 million, respectively, of the Google Success Funds were reimbursed to the Company for certain joint marketing expenses incurred by the Company.

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 $79 million and $93 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company does not believe such obligations will materially affect its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to various claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, which include among other things commercial general liability claims, automobile liability claims, contractual disputes, worker’s compensation claims, labor law and employment claims, claims that the Company infringed on the intellectual property of others, 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 Amended 2022 Annual Report.

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, is less than probable, or the range of possible loss cannot be estimated.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s accrual for ongoing claims and lawsuits within the scope of an insurance program totaled $110 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.

(1)Includes both continuing and discontinued operations.

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.

16. 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 affiliated with Apollo, and, from time to time, management, consulting, and transaction advisory services provided by Apollo to the Company, as well as transactions between the Company and State Farm. There were no notable related party transactions during the periods presented other than as described below.

State Farm owns approximately 15% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (assuming conversion of Class B Common Stock), and as a result, is a related party.

At the Closing, the Company, ADT LLC (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), and State Farm entered into a Development Agreement (the “State Farm Development Agreement”) pursuant to which State Farm committed up to $300 million to fund certain initiatives as agreed to between the Company and State Farm related to the partnership (the “Opportunity Fund”).

The master services agreement included a minimum purchase commitment of $50 million over a seven year term, which the Company has met through spend with Rackspace as well as other parties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, fees incurred to Rackspace were not material.

Canopy

Canopy is considered a related party under GAAP as the Company accounts for its investment in Canopy under the equity method of accounting. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company made an additional equity investment of approximately $5 million in Canopy.

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

BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Our Business

ADT Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” and “ADT”), provides security, interactive, and smart home solutions to consumer and small business customers, as well as residential solar and energy storage solutions, in the U.S. As discussed in Note 1 “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” we divested our Commercial Business on October 2, 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, we served approximately 6.4 million security monitoring service subscribers, excluding commercial subscribers that were part of the Commercial Divestiture.

Our mission is to empower people to protect and connect what matters most with safe, smart, and sustainable solutions, delivered through innovative offerings, unrivaled safety, and a premium experience because we believe that everyone deserves to feel safe.

Basis of Presentation

As of the third quarter of 2023, and following the Commercial Divestiture, we report financial and operating information for our two segments: CSB and Solar. All financial information presented in this section has been prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP, excluding our non-GAAP measures, and includes the accounts of ADT Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

We considered recent impacts from macroeconomic conditions such as inflationary pressures, rising interest rates, the uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, and supply chain disruptions, as well as any on-going impacts from the COVID-19 Pandemic, in the assessment of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, as well as certain accounting estimates, as of and for the periods presented.

Business Updates

Google

During the first quarter of 2023, we introduced our new ADT+ app for our self-setup line of do-it-yourself (“DIY”) smart home security products, including Google Nest offerings. We expect to introduce our ADT+ app for professional installations through a phased rollout in the fourth quarter along with a new interactive platform and hardware lineup.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, $15 million and $40 million, respectively of the first tranche of the Google Success Funds were approved for reimbursement to the Company for Google’s portion of certain joint marketing expenses incurred by us, and we received cash of $27.5 million and $40 million, respectively.

Refer to Note 14 “Commitments and Contingencies” for further information on the Google Commercial Agreement.

State Farm

In connection with the State Farm Development Agreement, State Farm committed up to $300 million to an Opportunity Fund, of which we received $100 million upon closing of the transaction.

Refer to Note 16 “Related Party Transactions” for further information on the State Farm Strategic Investment.

Commercial Divestiture

As discussed in Note 1 “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 5 “Divestitures,” on October 2, 2023, GTCR acquired all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the entities comprising our Commercial Business for a total purchase price of approximately $1,613 million in cash, subject to certain customary adjustments as set forth in the Commercial Purchase Agreement and received net proceeds of approximately $1,585 million.

The results of the Commercial Business are reported as a discontinued operation for current and historical periods through the date of sale. Additionally, the cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) of the Commercial Business have not been segregated and are included in the interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), respectively, for all periods presented.

The Company’s reported operating metrics, gross customer revenue attrition and recurring monthly revenue (as defined and discussed below), have been presented for the current period and recast for prior periods to reflect only the CSB segment.

As discussed in Note 8 “Debt,” in October 2023, we used a portion of the net proceeds from the Commercial Transaction to redeem approximately $1.3 billion of the First Lien Term Loan due 2026. The remaining net proceeds along with cash on hand are expected to be used for debt redemption and repayments of the First Lien Notes due 2024 during the fourth quarter of 2023, which will reduce future cash interest payments accordingly.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2023, income expected to be received in connection with the TSA will be recognized in other income (expense). The expenses expected to be incurred by the Company to support the transition will be recorded based on the nature of the expense.

We expect to record a significant gain on the sale, which will be recognized in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax during the fourth quarter of 2023.

Further, we expect to utilize a significant portion of our existing net operating losses (“NOLs”) to offset an expected gain in connection with the sale of the Commercial Business. We believe that we will utilize our remaining NOLs during 2024. Thereafter, without additional NOLs, we expect to begin paying federal cash taxes as such taxes are incurred.

Unless otherwise noted, our results of operations discussed below relate to continuing operations and will be impacted by the Commercial Divestiture.

Solar Restructuring

On November 2, 2023, the Company announced a plan to close a significant number of branches that operate our Solar business along with the associated headcount reductions as a result of continued macroeconomic and industry pressures and the continued underperformance of the Solar business.

In addition, the Company concluded there was a triggering event as of September 30, 2023, related to its Solar reporting unit as a result of continued deterioration of industry conditions and macroeconomic decline, as well as the Company’s recent plan to significantly reduce the footprint of its Solar reporting unit. As a result, the Company determined that the remaining balance of goodwill was not recoverable and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $88 million in the third quarter of 2023. Following the impairments during 2023, the balance of goodwill in the Solar reporting unit was zero. The Company also assessed the recoverability of other long-lived assets related to its Solar business, and impairment charges recorded were not material. In addition, we expect to incur severance and other costs in connection with these current plans, which we do not expect to be material.

FACTORS AFFECTING OPERATING RESULTS

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

Generally, a significant upfront investment is required to acquire new CSB subscribers that in turn provide ongoing and predictable recurring revenue generated from our monitoring services and other subscriber-based offerings. Although the economics of an installation may vary depending on the customer type, acquisition channel, and product offering, we generally achieve revenue break-even in less than two and a half years.

Our CSB results are impacted by the mix of transactions under a Company-owned equipment model versus a customer-owned equipment model (referred to as outright sales), as there are different accounting treatments applicable to each model, as well as the mix, price, and type of offerings sold. As we continue to build our partnership with Google, introduce new or enhance our current offerings, and refine our go-to-market approach, we expect to see a shift toward an increasing proportion of outright sales transactions, which will impact results in future periods when those changes occur. We also expect an increase in the proportion of ADT self set-up customers, which typically have lower monthly recurring fees than our professional installations but will allow us to grow our subscriber base through access to the fast-growing do-it-yourself (“DIY”) market.

Additionally, in our Solar business, we are exploring options for our customers seeking greater flexibility and accessibility in their rooftop solar financing. For example, during the third quarter of 2023, we entered into an agreement with SunPower Financial to offer lease and power purchase agreement (“PPA”) financing options to new Solar customers.

Advances in technology are also helping us to improve our products and services and reduce our costs. For example, our innovative virtual service support program (the “Virtual Assistance Program”), which we launched for our residential customers in July 2021, provides our customers the ability to troubleshoot and resolve certain service issues through a live video stream with our skilled technicians. This provides customers with more options for receiving certain services that best fit their lifestyles while reducing the cost for us to provide these services and lowering our carbon footprint by eliminating thousands of vehicle trips each day.

We may experience an increase in costs associated with factors such as (i) offering a wider variety of products and services; (ii) providing a greater mix of interactive and smart home solutions; (iii) replacing or upgrading certain system components or technology due to technological advancements, cybersecurity upgrades, or otherwise; (iv) supply chain disruptions; (v) inflationary pressures on costs such as materials, labor, and fuel; and (vi) other changes in prices, interest rates, or terms from our suppliers, vendors, or third-party lenders. Changes in interest rates or terms from third-party lenders that provide loan products to our Solar customers are impacted by factors such as the Federal Reserve increasing the risk-free interest rate or other developments in the financial markets, and we expect these third-party costs to continue to increase in future periods. Refer to Note 7 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and Critical Accounting Estimates below for further discussion.

New customer additions and customer attrition have a direct impact on our financial results, including revenue, operating income, and cash flows. A portion of our recurring customer base can be expected to cancel its service each year as customers may choose to terminate or not to renew their contracts for a variety of reasons, including relocation, cost, loss to competition, or service issues. Relocations are sensitive to changes in the residential housing market, and fewer relocations generally lead to improvements in gross customer revenue attrition, but fewer new customer additions. Additionally, non-payment disconnects generally increase in a weaker macroeconomic environment. During 2022 and through the third quarter of 2023, we experienced fewer relocation disconnects and higher non-pay disconnects largely related to housing market conditions and the weaker macroeconomic environment. We may continue to experience fluctuations in these or other trends in the future as changes in the general macroeconomic environment or housing market develop.

As part of our response to changes or pressures in the macroeconomic environment, we have been evaluating, and continue to evaluate, cost saving opportunities such as reducing headcount or our physical facilities footprint when appropriate, and reducing non-essential spend. While we have experienced some increase in costs as a result of inflation, we have, for the most part, been able to offset the rising costs through price increases to our customers, as well as cost saving opportunities.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

We evaluate our results using certain key performance indicators, including operating metrics such as recurring monthly revenue (“RMR”) and gross customer revenue attrition, as well as the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA. 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 due to certain adjustments we might make in connection with the integration over several periods of acquired companies that calculated these metrics differently or periodic reassessments and refinements in the ordinary course of business, including changes due to system conversions or historical methodology differences in legacy systems.

RMR

RMR is generated by contractual recurring fees for monitoring and other recurring services provided to our CSB customers, including contracts monitored but not owned.

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

Gross Customer Revenue Attrition

Gross customer revenue attrition for our CSB segment 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 self-setup/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 self-setup/DIY customers.

We use gross customer revenue attrition to evaluate our CSB 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 to investors as it provides a means to evaluate drivers of customer attrition and the impact of retention initiatives.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations (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.”

CSB:

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the increases in revenue, as compared to the prior period, included:

•Monitoring and related services revenue (“M&S Revenue”): higher recurring revenue of $32 million primarily driven by an increase in average prices.

•Security installation, product, and other: (i) an increase in installation revenue of $22 million primarily driven by a higher volume of outright sales transactions and higher installation revenue per unit, as well as (ii) an increase in the amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition revenue of $16 million as a result of a higher population of existing customers under a Company-owned model.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the increases in revenue, as compared to the prior period, included:

•M&S Revenue: higher recurring revenue of $96 million primarily driven by an increase in average prices.

•Security installation, product, and other: (i) an increase in installation revenue of $68 million primarily driven by a higher volume of outright sales transactions and higher installation revenue per unit, as well as (ii) an increase in the amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition revenue of $52 million as a result of a higher population of existing customers under a Company-owned model.

Solar:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the decrease in revenue, as compared to the prior period, was primarily due to fewer sales and installations as a result of prior cost reduction efforts, delays in certain operational initiatives, and impacts from macroeconomic conditions, including higher interest rates.

In addition, the decrease in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the prior period was impacted by the amortization of purchase accounting adjustments of $30 million related to a customer backlog intangible asset, which was recorded as a reduction to revenue during the first quarter of 2022.

In addition, future revenue in the segment may be impacted by the restructuring discussed above.

RMR and Gross Customer Revenue Attrition:

As of September 30, 2023, our ending RMR balance was $350 million, up $11 million or 3% compared to the prior period, primarily driven by an increase in average prices on new and existing subscribers.

Gross customer revenue attrition was 12.9% as of September 30, 2023, flat compared to September 30, 2022, reflecting a decrease in relocations, offset primarily by higher non-payment disconnects.

CSB:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, cost of revenue, as compared to the prior period, included an increase in installation costs due to a higher volume of outright sales transactions.

Solar:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the decrease in cost of revenue, as compared to the prior period, was primarily due to fewer sales and installations as discussed above.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the decrease in SG&A, as compared to the prior period, was primarily driven by:

•a decrease of $22 million in Solar, primarily due to recent cost reduction initiatives, and

•a decrease of $13 million in general and administrative expenses in CSB, partially offset by

•an increase of $14 million in the allowance for credit losses primarily related to residential customers.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the decrease in SG&A, as compared to the prior period, was primarily driven by:

•a decrease of $86 million in Solar, primarily due to recent cost reduction initiatives,

•a decrease of $28 million in advertising costs, primarily due to utilization of a portion of the Google Success Funds, and

•a decrease of $26 million in general and administrative expenses in CSB primarily related to a legal settlement, partially offset by

•a decrease of $26 million in radio conversion costs due to the wind down of the replacement program,

•an increase of $38 million in selling costs primarily related to the amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition costs and commissions, and

•an increase of $32 million in the allowance for credit losses primarily related to residential customers.

Depreciation and Intangible Asset Amortization

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the decrease in depreciation and intangible asset amortization, as compared to the prior period, was primarily driven by a decrease in the amortization of customer relationship intangible assets of $65 million and $245 million, respectively, primarily related to certain assets acquired as part of the ADT Acquisition.

During the first quarter of 2023, the remaining customer relationship intangible assets acquired as part of the ADT Acquisition became fully amortized.

Merger, restructuring, integration, and other

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the increase in merger, restructuring, integration, and other, as compared to the prior period, was driven by an increase in restructuring costs of approximately $7 million primarily related to severance benefits and third-party costs of approximately $4 million primarily related to the strategic optimization of our Solar business operations following the acquisition of ADT Solar.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the increase in merger, restructuring, integration, and other, as compared to the prior period, was driven by increases in restructuring costs of approximately $19 million primarily related to severance benefits and third-party costs of approximately $18 million primarily related to the strategic optimization of our Solar business operations following the acquisition of ADT Solar.

Goodwill Impairment

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded goodwill impairment charges associated with our Solar reporting unit of $88 million and $511 million, respectively, compared to $201 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Refer to Note 1 “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” Note 7 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” and the section “—Critical Accounting Estimates” below for further discussion.

Interest Expense, net

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the increase in interest expense, net, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily driven by a decrease in unrealized gains of $92 million and $274 million, respectively on our interest rate swaps not designated as cash flow hedges. Additionally, during the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $25 million of expense associated with the reclassification from AOCI of historical losses related to certain interest rate swaps as those cash flows are probable of not occurring as a result of the partial redemption of our First Lien Term Loan due 2026 in October 2023.

In addition, the increase in interest expense, net, included higher interest expense primarily related to our First Lien Term Loan due 2026 offset by interest rate swap settlements.

Other income (expense)

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, other income (expense) primarily included the change in fair value of a contingent forward purchase contract related to the tender offer in connection with the State Farm Transaction of approximately $158 million.

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, income tax benefit (expense) impacted our annual effective tax rate primarily as a result of the Solar goodwill impairment charges.

Refer to Note 10 “Income Taxes” for details on our effective tax rate.

Deferred Tax Assets

We have a significant amount of deferred tax assets, against which we take valuation allowances that relate to the uncertainty of our ability to utilize these deferred tax assets in future periods. 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. 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 for disallowed interest under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 163(j) will continue to grow from their current level. There is currently significant uncertainty in the matters we consider when determining whether it is appropriate to take additional valuation allowances. While we have not reported any material changes to our valuation allowances since our Amended 2022 Annual Report, we may determine to do so in subsequent periods. Any material change to our valuation allowance would materially and adversely affect our operating results and may result in a net loss position for any given period.

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.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, the Company presented its Commercial Business as a discontinued operation. Prior periods have been recast to reflect the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations to conform with the current period presentation. In addition, certain costs previously reflected in the Commercial segment that do not qualify to be presented as discontinued operations are now reflected in the CSB segment.

Adjusted EBITDA

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to measure the operational strength and performance of our business. 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 income or loss from continuing operations 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 items such as separation costs; (vii) losses on extinguishment of debt; (viii) radio conversion costs, net; (ix) adjustments related to acquisitions, such as contingent consideration and purchase accounting adjustments, or dispositions; (x) impairment charges; and (xi) other income/gain or expense/loss items such as changes in fair value of certain financial instruments or financing and consent fees.

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 income (loss) from continuing operations:

CSB:

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the increases, as compared to the prior periods, were primarily due to:

•higher M&S Revenue, net of the associated costs, of $26 million,

•lower general and administrative expenses of $13 million,

•and higher installation revenue, net of the associated costs and commissions, of $7 million,

•partially offset by higher provision for credit losses of $14 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the increases, as compared to the prior periods, were primarily due to:

•higher M&S Revenue, net of the associated costs, of $106 million,

•lower advertising costs of $28 million,

•lower general and administrative expenses of $26 million,

•and higher installation revenue, net of the associated costs and commissions, of $11 million,

•partially offset by higher provision for credit losses of $32 million.

Solar:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, the decreases, as compared to the prior periods, were primarily due to:

•lower installation revenue, net of the associated costs and commissions, of $50 million and $154 million, partially offset by

•lower general and administrative expenses, of $26 million and $72 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity and capital resources primarily consisted of the following:


(in thousands)	September 30, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	238,582
Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents	$	117,482
Availability under First Lien Revolving Credit Facility	$	575,000

Uncommitted available borrowing capacity under 2020 Receivables Facility	$	76,953
Uncommitted available borrowing capacity under Solar Receivables Facility	$	300,000
Carrying amount of total debt outstanding	$	9,667,701

Liquidity

We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, and the issuance of equity and/or debt securities as appropriate given market conditions. Our future cash needs are expected to include cash for operating activities including working capital, principal and interest payments on our debt, capital expenditures, potential dividend payments to our stockholders, and from time to time, strategic investments or other initiatives that we may undertake.

We are a highly leveraged company with significant debt service requirements and have both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. All of our remaining variable rate debt instruments previously based on LIBOR are now based on SOFR, and we do not anticipate any material impacts from the SOFR transition. 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. Cash outflows for interest payments are not consistent between quarters, with larger outflows occurring in the first and third quarters, and may vary as a result of our variable rate debt.

As of September 30, 2023, our next debt maturity will occur in April 2024 with respect to the remaining outstanding balance of $600 million of our First Lien Notes due 2024. We issued a notice to redeem approximately $500 million of the First Lien Notes due 2024 by the end of 2023 using the remaining net proceeds from the Commercial Divestiture and cash on hand, with the rest to be redeemed in 2024 prior to maturity.

We are closely monitoring the impact of recent developments in the financial markets and banking industry, inflationary pressures, and changes in interest rates on our cash position. However, we believe our cash position, available borrowing capacity under our credit agreements, 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.

Material Cash Requirements

There have been no significant changes to our material cash requirements, commitments and contingencies, or off-balance sheet arrangements from those disclosed in our Amended 2022 Annual Report.

Repurchase of Solar Loans

As of September 30, 2023, the liability related to certain loans provided to customers within our Solar business that we may be required to repurchase from third party lenders was approximately $16 million. This liability is partially offset by a net receivable of $6 million related to the amount we ultimately expect to recover from any loans required to be repurchased, either through ongoing loan payments from the customer or proceeds from subsequent resale of the loans.

Long-Term Debt

Significant changes and activity related to our long-term debt since our Amended 2022 Annual Report are discussed below. Refer to Note 8 “Debt” for further discussion on our debt agreements and activity.

First Lien Term Loan due 2026

In October 2023, the Company redeemed approximately $1.3 billion of the First Lien Term Loan due 2026 using net proceeds from the Commercial Divestiture.

Further, during October 2023, we refinanced the remaining outstanding balance of the First Lien Term Loan due 2026 with a new $1,375 million 7-year term loan B due 2030 (the “First Lien Term Loan B due 2030”) through an amendment to the existing First Lien Credit Agreement.

Term Loan A Facility

In March 2023, we borrowed an aggregate principal amount of $600 million of term loans under the Term Loan A Facility, and in June 2023, we borrowed an additional aggregate principal amount of $50 million of Incremental Term Loan A Loans.

ADT Notes due 2023 Redemption

In March 2023, we used the proceeds from the Term Loan A Facility to redeem approximately $600 million of the ADT Notes due 2023 for a total redemption price of approximately $600 million, excluding accrued and unpaid interest. On June 15, 2023, we redeemed the remaining outstanding balance of approximately $100 million of the ADT Notes due 2023 using $50 million of proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan A Loans and cash on hand.

First Lien Notes due 2024 Partial Redemption

On May 2, 2023, we redeemed $150 million principal amount of the $750 million outstanding First Lien Notes due 2024 for a redemption price of $150 million, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, using cash on hand.

During 2023, we issued a notice to redeem $500 million principal amount of the outstanding First Lien Notes due 2024 by the end of 2023 using remaining net proceeds from the Commercial Divestiture and cash on hand.

2020 Receivables Facility

In March 2023, we amended the agreement governing the 2020 Receivables Facility, pursuant to which, among other things, the borrowing capacity was increased from $400 million to $500 million and the uncommitted revolving period was extended from May 2023 to March 2024.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we received proceeds of $212 million and repaid $145 million, and as of September 30, 2023, the outstanding balance was $423 million.

Solar Receivables Facility

On August 2, 2023, we entered into the Solar Receivables Facility Financing Agreement to finance receivables generated by the installation of residential solar systems, which, among other things, provides for an uncommitted revolving loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million. As of September 30, 2023, we have not borrowed any amounts under the Solar Receivable Facility.

Debt Covenants

As of September 30, 2023, 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.

Dividends

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we declared aggregate dividends of $91 million ($0.035 per share) and $90 million ($0.035 per share) on our Common Stock, respectively, and $6 million ($0.035 per share) on our Class B Common Stock during each period.

On November 2, 2023, we announced a dividend of $0.035 per share to holders of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of record on December 14, 2023, which will be paid on January 9, 2024.

Cash Flow Analysis


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2023		2022		$ Change
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	1,245,694	$	1,321,069	$	(75,375)
Investing activities	$	(988,081)	$	(1,208,790)	$	220,709
Financing activities	$	(275,129)	$	(85,772)	$	(189,357)

The discussion below includes cash flows from both continuing operations and discontinued operations consistent with the presentation on the Statements of Cash Flows.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities, as compared to the prior period, was primarily due to:

•an increase in cash interest of $124 million primarily related to our First Lien Term Loan due 2026, and

•an increase in payroll tax payments of $26 million primarily related to deferrals of such payments in 2020 under the CARES Act.

During 2023, we also received approximately $19 million related to a legal settlement and approximately $40 million of the Google Success Funds.

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

The decrease in net cash used in investing activities, as compared to the prior period, was primarily due to:

•a decrease in cash paid for dealer generated customer account and bulk account purchases of $115 million primarily related to fewer bulk purchases and lower volume,

•a decrease in subscriber system assets expenditures of $92 million due to fewer adds,

•a decrease in net cash paid of $23 million primarily related to other investments, and

•a decrease in cash paid for the acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired, of $13 million as a result of activity during the prior year, partially offset by

•a decrease in proceeds from the sale of a business of $27 million due to activity during the prior year.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The change in cash flows from financing activities, as compared to the prior period, was primarily due to:

•an increase in net repayments of long-term borrowings of approximately $191 million primarily as a result of the ADT Notes due 2023 Redemption and ADT Notes due 2024 Partial Redemption in 2023, partially offset by borrowings under the Term Loan A Facility in 2023, and

•an increase in net repayments under the 2020 Receivables Facility of $63 million, partially offset by

•proceeds from interest rate swap contracts that included an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception of $59 million during 2023 compared to payments of $27 million during 2022.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We disclosed our critical accounting estimates in our Amended 2022 Annual Report, which include estimates prepared in accordance with GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations.

Critical accounting estimates are based on, among other things, estimates, assumptions, and judgments made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. Our estimates are based on relevant information available at the end of each period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or market conditions.

There were no material changes in our critical accounting estimates since our Amended 2022 Annual Report, except as discussed below:

Goodwill Impairment

We perform our annual goodwill impairment test on October 1 of each year or more often if events occur or circumstances change which indicate it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Under a quantitative approach, we estimate the fair value of a reporting unit and compare it to the reporting unit’s carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

During the first and second quarters of 2023, we performed interim impairment quantitative assessments on the Solar reporting unit as a result of triggering events as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023 and recorded goodwill impairment charges of $242 million and $181 million during the first and second quarters of 2023, respectively. These triggering events resulted from the then-current macroeconomic conditions, including the impact of rising interest rates, as well as ADT Solar’s continued underperformance of operating results in each quarter relative to expectations. As a result, the Solar reporting unit was considered at risk for future impairment following the impairments in the first and second quarters of 2023.

In addition, we concluded there was a triggering event as of September 30, 2023, related to the Solar reporting unit as a result of continued deterioration of industry conditions and macroeconomic decline, as well as the Company’s recent plan to significantly reduce the footprint of its Solar reporting unit, including certain existing underperforming branches and related headcount reductions. As a result, we determined that the remaining balance of goodwill was not recoverable and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $88 million in the third quarter of 2023. Following the impairments during 2023, the balance of goodwill in the Solar reporting unit was zero. The Company also assessed the recoverability of other long-lived assets related to its Solar business, and impairment charges recorded were not material.

Refer to Note 7 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

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 Part I, Item 1A in our Amended 2022 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 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. Any forward-looking statement made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise unless 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 Amended 2022 Annual Report, except as discussed below.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we borrowed $650 million under our variable-rate Term Loan A Facility, and we used the proceeds to redeem approximately $650 million of our fixed-rate ADT Notes due 2023. Additionally, during March 2023 and April 2023, we entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $300 million to partially hedge the Term Loan A Facility.

As of September 30, 2023, we had $3.1 billion notional amount of interest rate swaps used to manage interest rate exposure on our variable-rate debt, including our First Lien Term Loan due 2026, First Lien Term Loan A Facility, and 2020 Receivables Facility. In October 2023, we repaid approximately $1.3 billion of our variable-rate First Lien Term Loan due 2026 and refinanced the remaining outstanding balance with a new First Lien Term Loan due 2030. As a result, we will monitor and manage these financial exposures as an integral part of our overall risk management program.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

As a result of the material weakness in ICFR as previously disclosed in the Company’s Amended 2022 Annual Report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuring information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Remediation Plan

Upon identification of the material weakness, management developed and implemented a remediation plan, which includes updating our procedures regarding the recognition of the tax impacts related to goodwill impairments to specifically review the considerations of all tax impacts caused by the recognition of such goodwill impairments in accordance with relevant accounting guidance.

Our management believes the measures described above and others that have been implemented will remediate the material weakness that we have identified. However, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until there has been appropriate time for us to conclude through testing that the controls are operating effectively.

As management continues to evaluate and improve the Company’s ICFR, we may decide to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify certain of the remediation measures identified.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the remediation steps discussed above, during the three months ended September 30, 2023, there were no changes in our ICFR identified in our management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

See Note 14 “Commitments and Contingencies” to the condensed consolidated financial statements under the heading “Legal Proceedings” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for legal proceedings and related matters.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Our significant business risks are described in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Amended 2022 Annual Report and in our other filings with the SEC. The risk factors described in our filings with the SEC and other information may not describe every risk facing the Company. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Amended 2022 Annual Report, except as discussed below:

Risks Related to the Commercial Divestiture

We may not achieve some or all of the strategic and financial benefits that we expect to achieve from the Divestiture which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Although we believe the Commercial Divestiture will place us in a better position to prioritize investments in CSB and make strategic decisions with respect to Solar that we intend to drive profitable, capital-efficient revenue growth for the long-term, there can be no assurance that we will achieve such benefits. We are using the net after-tax cash proceeds of approximately $1.5 billion for significant debt reduction and have already used $1.3 billion of the net proceeds for debt reduction. There may, however, be a delay in our ability to use the remaining proceeds to repay a portion of our indebtedness which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and may adversely affect our credit ratings and cost of capital, as well as our ability to execute on our strategic priorities, objectives, goals, and medium-term target framework. Moreover, we may not be able to achieve the other anticipated benefits of the Commercial Divestiture, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. The anticipated benefits are based on a number of assumptions, some of which may prove incorrect, and could be affected by factors beyond our control, including, without limitation, general economic conditions, increased operating costs, regulatory developments and other risks described in these risk factors and within Item IA of Part I of our Amended 2022 Annual Report.

The Commercial Divestiture increases the risk of damage to our brand and reputation which may materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

In connection with the Commercial Divestiture, we have agreed to provide transitional services to GTCR for a period of up to 24 months and to license our ADT Commercial brand for 12 months. These arrangements allow for the use of our trademarks, certain intellectual property and limited use of the ADT Commercial brand, which may cause us to incur unanticipated costs and liabilities and which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, GTCR’s ability to use the ADT Commercial brand may increase the risk of damage to the brand for our remaining businesses, which could negatively impact our reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

ADT will be a less diversified business following the Commercial Divestiture, which may adversely affect ADT’s results of operations and financial condition.

Prior to the Commercial Divestiture, ADT had three business segments, CSB, Commercial, and Solar. The Commercial Divestiture resulted in ADT being a smaller, less diversified company more focused on consumers, potentially making ADT more vulnerable to changing market, regulatory, and economic conditions following the Commercial Divestiture, particularly those affecting consumers and small businesses. Additionally, ADT has announced it is taking a series of steps to rationalize its Solar business, including exiting underperforming branches and streamlining the cost structure. A smaller Solar business increases ADT’s dependence on CSB, and any trends or uncertainties affecting the CSB segment will more directly affect ADT’s results of operations and financial condition in the future. Macroeconomic headwinds or changes in consumer preferences could have a greater impact on our business following the Commercial Divestiture which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Risks Related to the Rationalization of the ADT Solar Business

ADT announced plans to rationalize the ADT Solar business, which includes exiting underperforming branches and streamlining ADT Solar’s cost structure, which are subject to uncertainties and risks that may materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

On November 2, 2023, we announced a series of steps to rationalize the ADT Solar business, significantly reducing the number of ADT Solar branches in light of continued operational challenges and underperformance of operating results relative to expectations. In connection with the ADT Solar rationalization, we anticipate incurring severance and other costs, which are not expected to be material.

The ADT Solar rationalization activity may result in business disruptions and may not produce the full efficiency and cost reduction benefits anticipated. Furthermore, the benefits may be realized later than expected and the cost of implementing these measures may be greater than anticipated. If these measures are not successful, we may need to undertake additional cost reduction efforts with respect to ADT Solar, including, among other things, a further reduction of branches or ceasing operations, which could result in future charges. Moreover, the ADT Solar rationalization plan may cause business disruptions with customers, which could make our brand less attractive to consumers, and ADT Solar may not be more efficient or effective than prior to the implementation of the rationalization plan. The ADT Solar rationalization activities, including the related charges and the impact of the related workforce reduction, which may include potential legal claims by impacted employees, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. The ADT Solar rationalization activities may also involve continued financial involvement in the discontinued branches, such as by causing us to continue to incur expenses to maintain services for completed installations and to complete those installations which have not yet been completed, or through continuing guarantees, indemnities or other financial obligations, such as a requirement by lenders that we repay outstanding loan amounts for jobs that have not achieved permission to operate in a timely manner, both within and outside of the markets impacted. The incurrence of any such cost or action could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
