Accounting Policies [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	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.

Subscriber System Assets, net and Deferred Subscriber Acquisition Costs, net Subscriber system assets represent capitalized equipment and installation costs incurred in connection with transactions in which the Company retains ownership of the security system, which the Company may retrieve upon termination of the contract with the customer. Deferred subscriber acquisition costs represent selling expenses (primarily commissions) that are incremental to acquiring customers. Subscriber system assets and any related deferred subscriber acquisition costs are accounted for on a pooled basis based on the month and year of customer acquisition. The Company depreciates and amortizes these pooled costs using an accelerated method over the estimated life of the customer relationship, which is 15 years.

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. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, investments in money market mutual funds were $263 million and $145 million, respectively. Long-Term Debt Instruments - The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt instruments are determined using broker-quoted market prices, which represent quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities as well as other observable market data, and are classified as Level 2 fair value measurements. The carrying amounts of debt outstanding, if any, under the Company’s first lien revolving credit facility (the “First Lien Revolving Credit Facility”) and its uncommitted receivables securitization financing agreement (the “2020 Receivables Facility”) approximate their fair values as interest rates on these borrowings approximate current market rates.

Company-Owned - In transactions in which the Company provides monitoring and related services but retains ownership of the security system (referred to as Company-owned transactions), the Company’s performance obligations primarily include (i) monitoring and related services, which are recognized when these services are provided to the customer, and (ii) a material right associated with the one-time non-refundable fees in connection with the initiation of a monitoring contract which the customer will not be required to pay again upon a renewal of the contract (referred to as deferred subscriber acquisition revenue). Deferred subscriber acquisition revenue is amortized on a pooled basis over the estimated life of the customer relationship using an accelerated method consistent with the treatment of subscriber system assets and deferred subscriber acquisition costs and is reflected in security installation, product, and other revenue.

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

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: (in thousands) September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Retail installment contract receivables, gross $ 665,339 $ 532,406 Allowance for credit losses (1,339) (890) Retail installment contract receivables, net $ 664,000 $ 531,516 Balance Sheet Classification: Accounts receivable, net $ 229,021 $ 169,242 Other assets 434,979 362,274 Retail installment contract receivables, net $ 664,000 $ 531,516 The allowance for credit losses relates to retail installment contract receivables from outright sales transactions.

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.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

SEGMENT INFORMATION	9 Months Ended
SEGMENT INFORMATION	Sep. 30, 2023
Segment Reporting [Abstract]
SEGMENT INFORMATION	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.

DIVESTITURES	Sep. 30, 2023
Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
DIVESTITURES	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 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.

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.

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.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS	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 Acquisitions (1) 123 — 123 Impairment — (511,176) (511,176) Reclassification to held for sale (2) (15,475) — (15,475) Balance as of September 30, 2023 $ 4,903,899 $ — $ 4,903,899 ________________ (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. 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.

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. 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.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	Sep. 30, 2023
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	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, the Company’s interest rate swaps consisted of the following (in thousands) : Execution Maturity Designation Notional Amount October 2019 September 2026 Not designated $ 2,800,000 March 2023 March 2028 Not designated $ 100,000 April 2023 March 2028 Not designated $ 200,000 Classification and Fair Value of Interest Rate Swaps: (in thousands) September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 94,579 $ 78,110 Other assets 127,413 105,405 Fair value of interest rate swaps - net asset (liability) $ 221,992 $ 183,515 Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Interest Rate Swaps: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (in thousands) 2023 2022 2023 2022 Gain (loss) included in interest expense, net $ 16,380 $ 108,041 $ 38,477 $ 312,603 Cash Flow Hedges Reclassifications out of AOCI: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, ( in thousands ) 2023 2022 2023 2022 Interest expense, net $ 30,008 $ 5,389 $ 40,186 $ 28,656 Income tax (benefit) expense $ (7,245) $ (1,301) $ (9,702) $ (6,915) During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded an additional $25 million to interest expense, net associated with the reclassification from AOCI of historical losses related to certain interest rate swaps for which the Company previously applied hedge accounting but for which the cash flows are probable of not occurring as a result of the partial redemption of the Company’s First Lien Term Loan due 2026 in October 2023, as discussed in Note 8 “Debt”. 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.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	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. 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.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE	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.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	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.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS	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. Apollo Upon initial funding of the Term Loan A Facility in March 2023, the Company incurred fees to Apollo of $1 million related to Apollo’s performance of placement agent services related to such debt. State Farm On October 13, 2022 (the “Closing”), the Company issued and sold in a private placement to State Farm 133,333,333 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a per share price of $9.00 for an aggregate purchase price of $1.2 billion (the “State Farm Strategic Investment”) pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated September 5, 2022. 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”). Additionally at the Closing, the Company received $100 million of the Opportunity Fund, which will be restricted until such time as the Company uses the funds in accordance with the State Farm Development Agreement. The Company’s use of the funds is also subject to approval by State Farm. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the balance in the Opportunity Fund was approximately $97 million and $101 million, respectively, and includes payments of $6 million partially offset by interest earned during 2023.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies	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. Significant Accounting Policies Unless otherwise noted, the Company’s accounting policies discussed below, or included within the respective footnotes herein, do not materially differ from those disclosed in the Amended 2022 Annual Report.
Use of Estimates	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.
Segments	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. 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.

Subscriber System Assets, net and Deferred Subscriber Acquisition Costs, net	Subscriber System Assets, net and Deferred Subscriber Acquisition Costs, net Subscriber system assets represent capitalized equipment and installation costs incurred in connection with transactions in which the Company retains ownership of the security system, which the Company may retrieve upon termination of the contract with the customer. Deferred subscriber acquisition costs represent selling expenses (primarily commissions) that are incremental to acquiring customers.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	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.
Long-Term Debt Instruments	Long-Term Debt Instruments - The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt instruments are determined using broker-quoted market prices, which represent quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities as well as other observable market data, and are classified as Level 2 fair value measurements. The carrying amounts of debt outstanding, if any, under the Company’s first lien revolving credit facility (the “First Lien Revolving Credit Facility”) and its uncommitted receivables securitization financing agreement (the “2020 Receivables Facility”) approximate their fair values as interest rates on these borrowings approximate current market rates.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments - Derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value as either assets or liabilities that are primarily calculated using discounted cash flow models utilizing observable inputs, such as quoted forward interest rates, and incorporate credit risk adjustments to reflect the risk of default by the counterparty or the Company. The resulting fair values are classified as Level 2 fair value measurements. Refer to Note 9 “Derivative Financial Instruments” for the fair values of the Company’s 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.
Retail Installment Contract Receivables, net	Retail Installment Contract Receivables - The fair values of the Company’s retail installment contract receivables are determined using a discounted cash flow model and are classified as Level 3 fair value measurements. 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.
Revenue and Deferred Revenue	Company-Owned - In transactions in which the Company provides monitoring and related services but retains ownership of the security system (referred to as Company-owned transactions), the Company’s performance obligations primarily include (i) monitoring and related services, which are recognized when these services are provided to the customer, and (ii) a material right associated with the one-time non-refundable fees in connection with the initiation of a monitoring contract which the customer will not be required to pay again upon a renewal of the contract (referred to as deferred subscriber acquisition revenue). Deferred subscriber acquisition revenue is amortized on a pooled basis over the estimated life of the customer relationship using an accelerated method consistent with the treatment of subscriber system assets and deferred subscriber acquisition costs and is reflected in security installation, product, and other revenue.
Allowance for Credit Losses	Allowance for Credit Losses The Company evaluates its allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable in pools based on customer type. For each customer pool, the allowance for credit losses is estimated based on the delinquency status of the underlying receivables and the related historical loss experience, as adjusted for current and expected future conditions, if applicable. The allowance for credit losses is not material for the individual pools of customers.
Contract Assets	Contract AssetsContract 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.
Receivables Facility	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.
Earnings 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.
Legal Proceedings	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.
Company as Lessee	Company as Lessee As part of normal operations, the Company leases real estate, vehicles, and equipment.
Company as Lessor	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.
