As we advance into 2023 we are forecasting solid growth in revenue, earnings and free cash flow, continuing our positive trajectory across our businesses and demonstrating progress on our 2025 goals.”

    BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

    Foundation for Growth

    • Continued growth of RMR – The end-of-period RMR balance was $374 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 revenue payback – With strong customer satisfaction, trailing 12-month gross customer revenue attrition was 12.5%, a 60-basis-point improvement versus the prior year period, and revenue payback ended 2022 at 2.1 years.

    Innovative Offerings

    • ADT+ and ADT Self Setup launch – In early 2023, ADT introduced the new ADT+ app and ADT Self Setup line of DIY smart home security products which seamlessly integrate the security and protection of ADT with the helpful convenience of Google Nest. The ADT+ app was named a CES 2023 Innovation Award Honoree and represents a historic shift in home security. ADT Self Setup enables customers to build and customize the perfect DIY system for their smart home or apartment needs.
    • Enhanced Google offerings – As part of ADT’s partnership with Google, the Company nationally sells, installs, and services a full suite of Google Nest products, including doorbells, cameras, thermostats, and smart displays. During 2022, the attachment rate for the Nest Doorbell was approximately 50% and Nest cameras are currently realizing a 30% increase in cameras per home, helping drive a 26% increase in residential installation revenue per unit as compared to the prior year period.
    • State Farm home protection partnership and equity investment – In 2022, ADT announced the closing of a $1.2 billion equity investment by State Farm in conjunction with flagship partnership to reimagine the homeownership experience through innovation and the application of smart home technology to detect and mitigate property losses. Exclusive offers to State Farm policy holders in select markets are expected to launch in the second quarter of 2023. In addition to its equity investment, State Farm committed up to $300 million to fund product and technology innovation, customer growth, and marketing activities in connection with the partnership.

    Unrivaled Safety

    • Keeping employees safe with SoSecure Pro – ADT introduced an all-new enterprise mobile safety app, SoSecure PRO. SoSecure PRO enables companies to enhance workplace safety for employees on site and on the go. The app features innovative safety tools like location sharing, SOS Call/Chat or Video, Safety Timer, and Voice Activation, helping companies to keep their employees safe.
    • Intelligent autonomous security solutions – EvoGuard by ADT Commercial, unveiled at CES in January, is a new suite of intelligent autonomous guarding solutions and services, currently in development, aimed at helping to cost-effectively enhance corporate security programs, while responding to high turnover rates and ongoing labor shortages in the guarding market.

    Premium Experience

    • ADT Virtual Assistance – The Company completed more than one million Virtual Assistance appointments since the program’s launch in 2021. Nearly 40% of ADT service requests in 2022 were virtual, generating high customer satisfaction at a lower cost to the Company while also reducing the Company’s carbon footprint by eliminating thousands of vehicles trips each day. This program is a meaningful contributor to the Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in the CSB segment.

    Progress on our ESG Journey

    • Giving back in 2022 – In 2022, ADT realigned its charitable giving and volunteerism to focus on creating safer, smarter and more sustainable communities with donations to Requity, a Baltimore-based nonprofit providing vocational education and workforce development, the American Red Cross for Hurricane Ian disaster relief and Habitat for Humanity. In total, ADT donated $850,000 to charity in 2022.
    • ADT’s first annual CDP Climate Change Disclosure – ADT achieved a CDP score at the “Awareness” level, in line with the North American regional average, including the commercial and consumer services sector.

    Adjusted EBITDA Margin (as a % of Total CSB Revenue)  52%  53%      53%  51%    
                             

    Total CSB revenue was $1,117 million for the fourth quarter and $4,379 million for the full year, up 6% versus the prior year for both periods. This performance was driven primarily by an increase in monitoring and related services (M&S) revenue resulting from higher average pricing, subscriber growth initiatives, and improved customer retention.

    CSB Adjusted EBITDA increased 5% to $581 million in the fourth quarter and increased 10% to $2,315 million for the full year 2022. These improvements were driven by higher M&S revenue and improved cost performance. The Company’s Virtual Assistance program allowed ADT to reduce service costs for the full year even as the Company achieved an increase in subscribers and RMR.

    Adjusted EBITDA Margin (as a % of Total Commercial Revenue)  12%  6%      10%  9%    
                             

    Total Commercial revenue was $328 million for the fourth quarter and $1,230 million for the full year, up 15% and 10%, respectively, versus prior year. Improvements were driven by an increase in product and service prices as well as strong installation and sales performance.

    Commercial Adjusted EBITDA increased 137% to $38 million in the fourth quarter and increased 32% to $127 million for the full year 2022. These improvements were driven by higher revenue, which was partially offset by the impact of cost inflation on materials, labor, and fuel.

    Note: Sunpro Solar, now referred to as ADT Solar, was acquired on December 8, 2021. M&S revenue is not applicable to the Solar segment.

    Total Solar revenue for the fourth quarter was $200 million and $786 million for the full year. ADT solar installed over 20,000 systems in 2022, an increase of 18% year over year compared to legacy Sunpro.

    Solar Adjusted EBITDA was $10 million for the fourth quarter and $5 million for the full year 2022. Full year Adjusted EBITDA was negatively impacted by installation delays associated with a third-party lender’s insolvency in the second quarter and cost inefficiencies from lower install throughput.

    BALANCE SHEET, CASH, AND LIQUIDITY

    Net cash provided by operating activities during the fourth quarter of 2022 was $567 million with Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $269 million. For the full year of 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $1,888 million with Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $558 million, up 14% and 20%, respectively, versus the prior year period. The company returned $127 million to shareholders in dividends during 2022.

    At the end of the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company had total debt of $9.8 billion with continued improvements in GAAP and adjusted leverage ratios. The Company ended the year with no outstanding revolver borrowings.

    On Feb. 10, 2023, the Company provided a partial redemption notice to pay off $600 million of the $700 million ADT Notes due 2023, using the $600 million Term Loan A facility which the Company expects to draw down on March 15, 2023. The Company expects to redeem the remaining $100 million of the ADT Notes due 2023 with cash on hand on or before maturity in June 2023. The Company has no other significant debt maturities remaining in 2023.

    DIVIDEND DECLARATION

    Effective Feb. 28, 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 March 16, 2023. This dividend will be paid on April 4, 2023.

    (1)The Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of its 2023 financial outlook for Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share (“Adjusted EPS”), Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow (including interest rate swaps) to net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities, which are their respective corresponding GAAP measures, because the Company is unable to reliably predict or estimate these GAAP measures without unreasonable effort due to their dependence on future uncertainties, such as the adjustments or items discussed below under the heading “Non-GAAP Measures.” Additionally, information that is currently not available to the Company could have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on its future GAAP financial results.
    (2)All variances are year-over-year unless otherwise noted. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow (including interest rate swaps), Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) per share, and Net Leverage Ratio are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Measures” section for the definitions of these terms and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures. 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.
    (3)Amounts may not sum due to rounding.

    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.

    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; and (ix) 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.

    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.

    (1) During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, primarily represents CSB restructuring costs and ADT Solar integration costs.
    (2) Represents net costs associated with replacing cellular technology used in many of our security systems pursuant to a replacement program.
    (3) During the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, primarily represents $16 million of acquisition costs related to the ADT Solar acquisition.
    (4) Includes net settlements related to interest rate swaps with an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception, which is presented within net cash provided by (used in) financing activities.

    Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share, 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).

    During the third quarter of 2021, Net Income (Loss) before special items was renamed Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per share before special items was renamed Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) per share. There has been no change to the calculation of these 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.
