ADT remains on track for continued positive progress across all our businesses and advancing toward our 2025 goals."

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

Foundation for Growth

Continued growth of RMR – The end-of-period RMR balance was $378 million, representing a 4% increase over the prior year period. Approximately 80% of total Consumer and Small Business (CSB) and Commercial revenue was generated from this durable recurring revenue.
Maintaining record customer retention and improving revenue payback – With strong customer satisfaction, trailing 12-month gross customer revenue attrition was 12.5%, a 40-basis-point improvement versus the prior year period, and revenue payback ended the first quarter of 2023 at 2.0 years, reflecting a 0.3x year-over-year improvement.
Record Commercial performance – ADT Commercial delivered record adjusted EBITDA of $41 million and March was the best month in history.

Innovative Offerings

ADT and State Farm begin pilot program – ADT and State Farm's partnership advanced with the launch of the ADT Home Security Program pilot in Indiana, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. State Farm customers can enjoy greater peace of mind and proactive protection against common household perils, with professional smart home security installation and exclusive discounts. The pilot program is expected to expand to nine states by year end 2023.
ADT Self Setup now available – The Company began selling the ADT Self Setup smart home security system for DIY customers in February, which integrates Google Nest smart home products with ADT security and life safety technology, through the convenient control of the new ADT+ app. Since launch, sales of ADT Self Setup have exceeded the Company's expectations.

Unrivaled Safety

Alarm verification – ADT Self Setup customers who subscribe to ADT SMART Monitoring will now receive video from their enrolled Google Nest Cameras during an alarm event. With text verification through ADT Alarm Messenger, the Company has reduced false alarms by more than 50%.
ADT Commercial sells first autonomous guarding solution – ADT Commercial completed its first pilot sale of the EvoGuard brand of autonomous intelligent guarding solutions. EvoGuard is aimed at helping to cost-effectively enhance corporate security programs, while responding to high turnover rates and ongoing labor shortages in the guarding market. ADT anticipates commercialization of the indoor drones later in 2023.

Premium Experience

New ADT+ app – In January, ADT rolled out its new ADT+ app, an integrated platform that allows ADT Self Setup customers to access their enrolled ADT and Google Nest products in one place. The app provides customers with a more advanced and seamless experience across security, life safety, home automation and analytics through a common application.

Virtual Assistance now available for ADT Self Setup – The Company further expanded Virtual Assistance to ADT Self Setup customers, providing DIY customers extra assurance from an ADT professional. Since its launch in 2021, more than 1 million ADT Virtual Assistance appointments have been delivered, creating more convenient customer experiences and reducing expenses related to in-home service and support.

Progress on our ESG Journey

2022 ESG Report highlights advancements – ADT published its 2022 ESG report to highlight progress across the company's ESG pillars. The 2022 report is supplementary to the company's 2021 ESG report.
Building safer gaming communities – In partnership with the Black Collegiate Gaming Association, ADT will secure Alabama State's new gaming lab. This new lab gives students a safe place to innovate and continue making advancements in the continuously growing gaming and technology industries.
Sustainability Business Employee Resource Group – ADT introduced a tenth business employee resource group (BERG) for its employees with a focus on sustainability. The Sustainability BERG aims to empower ADT employees to promote environmental stewardship, social responsibility and good governance.

2023 FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

The Company is reiterating its financial guidance for 2023:

(in millions)
Total Revenue		$6,600 - $6,850

SEGMENT RESULTS ⁽²⁾

CSB

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2023			2022			$ Change		% Change
Monitoring and related services	$	1,029		$	993		$	36	4	%
Security installation, product, and other		104			70			34	49	%
Total CSB revenue	$	1,132		$	1,063		$	70	7	%

Adjusted EBITDA	$	595		$	561		$	34	6	%
Adjusted EBITDA Margin (as a % of Total CSB Revenue)		53	%		53	%

Total CSB revenue was $1,132 million for the first quarter, up 7% versus the prior year. This performance was driven by an increase in monitoring and related services (M&S) revenue resulting from improved customer retention and higher average pricing, which has been aided by our Google partnership.

CSB Adjusted EBITDA increased 6% to $595 million in the first quarter. These improvements were driven by higher M&S revenue and enhanced cost discipline.

Commercial

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2023			2022			$ Change		% Change
Monitoring and related services	$	145		$	128		$	16	13	%
Security installation, product, and other		190			162			28	18	%
Total Commercial revenue	$	335		$	290		$	45	15	%

Adjusted EBITDA	$	41		$	24		$	17	73	%
Adjusted EBITDA Margin (as a % of Total Commercial Revenue)		12	%		8	%

Total Commercial revenue was $335 million for the first quarter, up 15% versus prior year. Improvements were driven by an increase in installation volumes as well as increases in product and service prices.

Commercial Adjusted EBITDA increased 73% to $41 million in the first quarter. These improvements were driven by higher revenue and improved cost performance, which were partially offset by the impact of cost inflation.

Solar

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2023			2022			$ Change			% Change
Solar installation, product, and other	$	145		$	192		$	(47	)	(25	)%
Total Solar revenue	$	145		$	192		$	(47	)	(25	)%

Adjusted EBITDA	$	(11	)	$	17		$	(27	)	N/M
Adjusted EBITDA Margin (as a % of Total Solar Revenue)	(7		)%		9	%
Note: M&S revenue is not applicable to the Solar segment.

Total Solar revenue for the first quarter was $145 million, down 25% versus prior year. This performance was driven by lower install throughput and weaker sales performance.

Solar Adjusted EBITDA was an $11 million loss for the first quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by volume and efficiency-related impacts from lower installation throughput.

The Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $193 million associated with the Solar segment. This charge is a result of current macroeconomic conditions, such as rising interest rates, the impact of financial market conditions on the Company's third-party lenders and customer demand, as well as Solar's underperformance of operating results relative to expectations in the first quarter of 2023. This goodwill impairment charge has been excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.

BALANCE SHEET, CASH, AND LIQUIDITY

	Three Months Ended March 31,
(in millions)	2023		2022			$ Change			% Change
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	307	$	308		$	(1	)	—	%
Adjusted Free Cash Flow	$	—	$	(42	)	$	42		N/M
Adjusted Free Cash Flow (including interest rate swaps)	$	16	$	(55	)	$	71		N/M

Net cash provided by operating activities during the first quarter of 2023 was $307 million, which was flat versus prior year period. Adjusted Free Cash Flow including the benefit of interest rate swaps increased $71 million versus the prior year period as lower subscriber acquisition costs were partially offset by higher technology investment. The company returned $32 million to shareholders in dividends during the first quarter of 2023.

On March 15, 2023, the Company used the proceeds from its Term Loan A Facility to redeem approximately $600 million of the ADT Notes due 2023. The Company intends to redeem the remaining outstanding balance of approximately $100 million of the ADT Notes due 2023 at or prior to maturity in June 2023 using proceeds from our Incremental Term A Loans and cash on hand.

On March 17, 2023, the Company provided a partial redemption notice to pay off $150 million of the $750 million ADT Notes due 2024, and on May 2, 2023 the Company will redeem that amount using cash on hand.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION

Effective May 2, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.035 per share to holders of the Company's Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of record as of June 15, 2023. This dividend will be paid on July 6, 2023.

The operating metrics such as Gross Customer Revenue Attrition, Unit Count, RMR, Gross RMR Additions, and Revenue Payback are approximated as there may be variations to reported results in each period due to certain adjustments the Company might make in connection with the integration over several periods of acquired companies that calculated these metrics differently, or otherwise, including periodic reassessments and refinements in the ordinary course of business. These refinements, for example, may include changes due to systems conversion or historical methodology differences in legacy systems.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

ADT sometimes uses information ("non-GAAP financial measures") that is derived from the consolidated financial statements, but that is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). Under SEC rules, non-GAAP financial measures may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.

The following information includes definitions of our non-GAAP financial measures used in this release, reasons our management believes these measures are useful to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations, additional purposes, if any, for which our management uses the non-GAAP financial measures, and limitations to using these non-GAAP financial measures, as well as reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures. Each non-GAAP financial measure is presented following the corresponding GAAP measure so as not to imply that more emphasis should be placed on the non-GAAP measure. The limitations of non-GAAP financial measures are best addressed by considering these measures in conjunction with the appropriate GAAP measures. In addition, computations of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

With regard to our financial guidance for 2023, the Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation for forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to net income (loss), and Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow (including interest rate swaps) to net cash provided by operating activities, which are the most directly comparable respective GAAP measures. These GAAP measures cannot be reliably predicted or estimated without unreasonable effort due to their dependence on future uncertainties, such as the adjustment of items used in the following reconciliations. Additionally, information about other adjusting items that is currently not available to the Company could have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on its future GAAP financial results.

U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

(Unaudited)

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Reconciliation to GAAP Net Income or Loss

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

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss adjusted for (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of subscriber system assets and other fixed assets and amortization of dealer and other intangible assets; (iv) amortization of deferred costs and deferred revenue associated with subscriber acquisitions; (v) share-based compensation expense; (vi) merger, restructuring, integration, and other; (vii) losses on extinguishment of debt; (viii) radio conversion costs net of any related incremental revenue earned; (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 as it does not reflect certain significant items which directly affect our net income or loss (the most comparable GAAP measure).

The Adjusted EBITDA discussion above is also applicable to Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenue.

Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow including interest rate swaps, and Reconciliation to GAAP Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities

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

We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Free Cash Flow adjusted for net cash flows related to (i) net proceeds from our consumer receivables facility; (ii) financing and consent fees; (iii) restructuring and integration; (iv) integration-related capital expenditures; (v) radio conversion costs net of any related incremental revenue collected; and (vi) other payments or receipts that may mask our operating results or business trends. Adjusted Free Cash Flow including interest rate swaps reflects Adjusted Free Cash Flow plus net cash settlements on interest rate swaps presented within net cash provided by (used in) financing activities.

We believe the presentations of these non-GAAP measures are appropriate to provide investors with useful information about our ability to repay debt, make other investments, and pay dividends. We believe the presentation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow is also a useful measure of our cash flow attributable to our normal business activities, inclusive of the net cash flows associated with the acquisition of subscribers, as well as our ability to repay other debt, make other investments, and pay dividends. Further, Adjusted Free Cash Flow including interest rate swaps is a useful measure of Adjusted Free Cash Flow inclusive of all cash interest.

There are material limitations to using these non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures adjust for cash items that are ultimately within management's discretion to direct, and therefore, may imply that there is less or more cash available than the most comparable GAAP measure. These non-GAAP measures are not intended to represent residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures since debt repayment requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures are not deducted.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share (or, Adjusted EPS), and Reconciliations to GAAP Net Income (Loss) and GAAP Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share

We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for (i) merger, restructuring, integration, and other; (ii) losses on extinguishment of debt; (iii) radio conversion costs net of any related incremental revenue earned; (iv) share-based compensation expense; (v) unrealized gains and losses on interest rate swap contracts not designated as hedges; (vi) other income/gain or expense/loss items such as changes in fair value of certain financial instruments, impairment charges, financing and consent fees, or acquisition-related adjustments; and (vii) the impact these adjusted items have on taxes.

Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) per share is Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of common stock. In periods of GAAP net loss, diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of common stock does not include the assumed conversion of Class B Common Stock and other potential shares, such as share-based compensation awards, to shares of Common Stock as the results would be anti-dilutive.

We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) per share are benchmarks used by analysts and investors who follow the industry for comparison of its performance with other companies in the industry, although our measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.

There are material limitations to using these measures, as they do not reflect certain significant items which directly affect our net income (loss) and related per share amounts (the most comparable GAAP measures).

Leverage Ratios and Reconciliation to GAAP Debt to Net Income (Loss) Leverage Ratio

Net Leverage Ratio is calculated as the ratio of net debt to last twelve months ("LTM") Adjusted EBITDA. Net debt is calculated as total debt excluding the Receivables Facility, including capital leases, minus cash and cash equivalents. Refer to the discussion on Adjusted EBITDA for descriptions of the differences between Adjusted EBITDA and net income (loss), which is the most comparable GAAP measure. We believe Net Leverage Ratio is a useful measure of the Company's credit position and progress towards leverage targets. There are material limitations to using Net Leverage Ratio as the Company may not always be able to use cash to repay debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
