1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business and Organization
ADT Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, “ADT” or the “Company”), provides security, interactive, and smart home solutions to consumer and small business customers in the United States (“U.S.”).
Prior to March 11, 2024, the Company was 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”). Following a registered secondary offering of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) by certain Apollo affiliates (and the Company’s concurrent repurchase from the underwriters of 15 million shares of Common Stock that were the subject of the offering), including the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option which closed on March 19, 2024, Apollo beneficially owns less than 50% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, which includes Common Stock and Class B common stock (“Class B Common Stock”) combined, and less than 50% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, and the Company ceased to be a “controlled company” under the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) rules.
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”);
•comprise the consolidated results of ADT Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated;
•are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, 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; and
•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, 2023 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”).
In addition, the results of companies acquired (if applicable) are included from the effective dates of acquisition. Prior to the sale of its shares in SNTNL LLC (“Canopy”) during the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company used the equity method of accounting to account for its investment in Canopy as it had the ability to exercise significant influence but did not control.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
Discontinued Operations
In January 2024, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) approved a plan to fully exit the residential solar business (the “Solar Business”) (the “ADT Solar Exit”). The ADT Solar Exit represents a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s financial results. As of June 30, 2024, substantially all operations of the Solar Business have ceased, with the results of operations and financial position of the Solar Business classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively, for all periods presented.
In addition, in August 2023, ADT entered into an agreement to divest its commercial business (the “Commercial Business”), which was completed in October 2023 (the “Commercial Divestiture”). As a result, the Commercial Business is presented as a discontinued operation in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) of discontinued operations have not been segregated and are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), respectively, for all periods presented.
Refer to Note 3 “Divestitures” for additional information on discontinued operations.
Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the Company’s continuing operations.
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.
Segment Update
Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, and as a result of the ADT Solar Exit, the Company currently reports its results in a single operating and reportable segment, which reflects the business operations of the Company’s former Consumer and Small Business (“CSB”) segment, 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.
Prior to the third quarter of 2023, the Commercial Business was reflected in the Commercial reportable segment, and prior to the second quarter of 2024, the Solar Business was reflected in the Solar reportable segment.

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.

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.

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 a term loan (the “First Lien Term Loan B due 2030”) and the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company borrowed $260 million and repaid $260 million under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility; and as of June 30, 2024, the available borrowing capacity was $575 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no borrowings or repayments under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility.
Significant amendments to the First Lien Credit Agreement since December 31, 2023 are as follows:
•April 2024 - The Company amended and restated the First Lien Credit Agreement, which reduced the interest rate on the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 from Term SOFR +2.50% to Term SOFR +2.25%.
ADT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
•May 2024 - The Company amended and restated the First Lien Credit Agreement, which included the exchange of $143 million principal amount of loans under the Company’s Term Loan A Facility for its First Lien Term Loan B due 2030. In addition, later that month, the Company further amended and restated the First Lien Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the Company incurred an additional $474 million of outstanding principal under the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 with the proceeds used to pay off the remaining outstanding balance of the Company’s Term Loan A Facility.
Proceeds and repayments of long-term borrowings include the impact of $646 million from the amendments described above. In addition, debt issuance costs, loss on extinguishment of debt, and financing and consent fees were not material as a result of these amendments.
Other than as described above, the loans under the amended and restated First Lien Credit Agreement continue to have the same terms as provided under the existing First Lien Credit Agreement and the parties to the amended and restated First Lien Credit Agreement continue to have the same obligations set forth in the existing First Lien Credit Agreement.
Term Loan A Facility Redemption
Significant activity since December 31, 2023 is as follows:
•May 2024 - The Company exchanged $143 million of loans under its Term Loan A Facility for its First Lien Term Loan B due 2030, as discussed above. In addition, later that month, the Company redeemed the remaining outstanding principal balance of $474 million of its Term Loan A Facility, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, using proceeds under the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030, as discussed above. As a result, the Term Loan A Facility has been terminated.
First Lien Notes due 2024 Redemption
Significant activity since December 31, 2023 is as follows:
•April 2024 - The Company redeemed the remaining outstanding principal balance of $100 million of the First Lien Notes due 2024, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, using proceeds from the Company’s First Lien Revolving Credit 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 (the “SPE”), which then grants a security interest in those retail installment contract receivables as collateral for cash borrowings.
Significant activity since December 31, 2023 is as follows:
•March 2024 - The Company amended the agreement governing the 2020 Receivables Facility, pursuant to which the uncommitted revolving period was extended from March 2024 to April 2024.
•April 2024 - The Company further amended the agreement governing the 2020 Receivables Facility, pursuant to which, among other things, the borrowing capacity was increased from $500 million to $550 million and the uncommitted revolving period was extended from April 2024 to April 2025. In addition, proceeds and repayments of long-term borrowings include the impact of $32 million from the amendments described above.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had an uncommitted available borrowing capacity under the 2020 Receivables Facility of approximately $126 million.
Variable Interest Entity
The SPE meets the definition of a variable interest entity 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.
ADT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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.
The 2020 Receivables Facility did not have a material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the periods presented.
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”).
As of June 30, 2024, the Company has not borrowed any amounts under the Solar Receivable Facility, and given the ADT Solar Exit, the Company does not expect to borrow any amounts under the Solar Receivables Facility. The Solar Receivables Facility’s uncommitted revolving period will expire in August 2024.
6. 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, and other income (expense) depending on the nature of the underlying that the swaps are economically hedging.
•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.
The cash flows associated with interest rate swap contracts that were entered into with the intention of offsetting the economic overhedged position of a portion of our existing interest rate swaps are reflected as cash flows from investing activities.

7. 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company did not have a material change to its unrecognized tax benefits from those disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report. Based on the current status of its income tax audits, the Company expects approximately $29 million of its unrecognized tax benefits will be resolved in the next twelve months.

The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $60 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 32.2%.

8. EQUITY
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock
The Company has two classes of common stock, including Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, shares issued resulted from the vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock option exercises related to share-based compensation awards.
Share Repurchase Plan
On January 24, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors announced a share repurchase plan (the “Share Repurchase Plan”), pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase, through January 29, 2025, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $350 million of shares of the Company's Common Stock under this Share Repurchase Plan.
The Company may effect these repurchases pursuant to one or more open market or private transactions, including pursuant to a plan that qualifies for the affirmative defense provided by Rule 10b5‐1 under the Exchange Act, or pursuant to one or more accelerated share repurchase agreements.
The Company is not obligated to repurchase any of its shares of Common Stock, and the timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on legal requirements, market conditions, stock price, the availability of the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, alternative uses of capital, and other factors.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased and retired 15 million shares of its Common Stock under the Share Repurchase Plan and paid approximately $93 million (or approximately $6.22 per share). Refer to Note 13 “Related Party Transactions” for further information.

9. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
RSUs
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company completed its annual long-term incentive plan equity award to employees and granted approximately 3.9 million RSUs under its 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2018 Plan”) with a grant date fair value of $6.51 equal to the closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. These RSUs are service-based awards with a three-year graded vesting period from the date of grant.
Options
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company granted approximately 6.8 million options under the 2018 Plan. These options are service-based awards with a three-year graded vesting period from the date of grant and have an exercise price of $6.51, which is equal to the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and a contractual term of ten years from the grant date. The weighted-average grant date fair value for the options granted was $2.56.
The Company used a binomial lattice model to determine the grant date fair value for options granted and included the following assumptions:
| | | | | |
| |
Expected exercise term (years) | 7 |
Expected volatility(1) | 49.9% |
Expected dividend yield(2) | 3.4% |
Risk-free interest rate(3) | 4.0% |
_________________(1) Estimated using historical and implied stock price volatility of the Company.
(2) Calculated by taking the annual dividend run-rate and dividing by the stock price at date of grant.
(3) Based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve.
Other
The Company modified certain share-based compensation awards during the second quarter of 2024 and recorded additional share-based compensation expense of $11 million associated with the modifications.

10. 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 excludes approximately 7 million and 9 million unvested shares for the current and prior periods, respectively, as their vesting is contingent upon achievement of certain performance requirements.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contractual Obligations
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s contractual obligations as compared to December 31, 2023, except as discussed below:
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 toward 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 six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, $15 million and $25 million, respectively, of the Google Success Funds were approved for reimbursement to the Company for certain joint marketing and customer acquisition expenses incurred by the Company and primarily recorded as a reduction to advertising expenses, of which the Company received $15 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Google Cloud Agreement Addendum
In December 2023, the Company and Google entered into an addendum to the Company’s existing agreement with Google for using Google cloud services (the “Google Cloud Agreement Addendum”), pursuant to which Google has agreed to provide certain credits, discounts, and other incentives for use of the Google Cloud Platform to the Company, and the Company has
ADT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
committed to purchasing $200 million of Google Cloud Platform services over seven years (through December 2030), with $35 million in the first two years, $65 million in the next two years after that, and $100 million in the last three years of the commitment. The Company may elect to cancel the commitment in return for a cancellation fee of 30% of the total remaining commitment amount and loss of any discounts, remaining credits, or other incentives provided under the Google Cloud Agreement Addendum.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company made purchases toward this commitment of $10 million.
Other Commitments
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with one of its vendors to purchase at least $190 million of security system equipment and components through March 2025. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company increased its commitment by approximately $130 million. This commitment is also satisfied through purchases made by the Company’s dealer network. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, purchases toward this commitment were $100 million.
Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s guarantees primarily relate to standby letters of credit related to its insurance programs and totaled $78 million for both periods, 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 2023 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 or other indemnifications from third-parties 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s accrual for ongoing claims and lawsuits within the scope of an insurance program, including amounts related to the Solar Business, totaled $107 million and $110 million, respectively. The Company’s accrual related to ongoing claims and lawsuits not within the scope of an insurance program is not material.

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.
13. 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
Offering and Share Repurchase
On March 6, 2024, the Company and certain entities managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (the “Selling Stockholders”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and Barclays Capital Inc., as representatives of the underwriters named therein, including Apollo Global Securities, LLC, an affiliate of Apollo (collectively, the “Underwriters”), in connection with the offer and sale by the Selling Stockholders (the “Offering”) of 65 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and, at the option of the Underwriters, up to an additional 9.75 million shares of Common Stock (the “Underwriters’ Option”).
As part of the Offering, the Company purchased 15 million shares of Common Stock under its Share Repurchase Plan from the Underwriters (the “Share Repurchase”). The Company paid approximately $93 million (or approximately $6.22 per share) for the Share Repurchase, which was the same per share price paid by the Underwriters to the Selling Stockholders. The repurchase is reflected as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital and as a financing cash outflow.
The Offering and the Share Repurchase closed on March 11, 2024. On March 15, 2024, the Underwriters exercised the Underwriters’ Option in full, which subsequently closed on March 19, 2024. The Company did not pay any underwriting fees in connection with the Share Repurchase, including on behalf of the Selling Stockholders or otherwise.
All the shares in the Offering were sold by the Selling Stockholders. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the Selling Stockholders in the Offering.
Other
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, other fees incurred to Apollo were not material.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred fees to Apollo of $1 million related to Apollo’s performance of placement agent services related to the initial funding of the Term Loan A Facility.
State Farm
State Farm owns more than 10% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, and as a result, is a related party.
In October 2022, 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”) in connection with State Farm’s strategic investment in ADT. Pursuant to the State Farm Development Agreement, 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”), of which the Company has received $100 million. Amounts held by the Company in the Opportunity Fund will be restricted until the Company uses the funds, as agreed upon with State Farm, in accordance with the State Farm Development Agreement.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance in the portion of the Opportunity Fund held by the Company was $89 million and $94 million, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company made payments from the Opportunity Fund of $7 million and $5 million, respectively. Interest earned on the Opportunity Fund was not material.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Table of Contents
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements about our business, operations, and financial performance based on current plans and estimates that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, which could differ materially from actual results. Factors that could cause such differences are discussed in the sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q titled “Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and Item 1A “Risk Factors.”
To obtain a more comprehensive understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition, and results of operations, the following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our 2023 Annual Report.
BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Our Business
ADT (or “we,” “our,” and “us”), provides security, interactive, and smart home solutions to consumer and small business customers in the U.S.
As of June 30, 2024, we served approximately 6.4 million security monitoring service subscribers.
Our mission is to empower people to protect and connect what matters most with safe, smart, and sustainable solutions, delivered through innovative offerings, unrivaled safety, and a premium experience because we believe that everyone deserves to feel safe.
Basis of Presentation
As a result of the Commercial Divestiture and ADT Solar Exit, we currently report our results as a single operating and reportable segment, which reflects the business operations of our former CSB segment. All financial information presented in this section has been prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with GAAP, excluding any non-GAAP measures, and includes the accounts of ADT Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Results of the Company’s Solar and former Commercial businesses are presented within discontinued operations.
Business Updates
ADT Solar Exit
As discussed in Note 1 “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 3 “Divestitures,” in January 2024, the Board approved a plan to fully exit the Solar Business. The results of operations and financial position of the Solar Business are classified as a discontinued operation in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively, for all periods presented. Additionally, the cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) of the Solar Business have not been segregated and are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred aggregate exit charges of $13 million and $89 million, respectively, which have been recognized within income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, related to (i) $1 million and $36 million, respectively, associated with the write-down and disposition of inventory and asset impairments, (ii) $10 million and $29 million, respectively, associated with the disposition of the existing installation pipeline, (iii) $1 million and $12 million, respectively, associated with employee separation costs, and (iv) $2 million and $12 million, respectively, associated with contract termination and other charges..
We do not expect the remaining charges associated with the ADT Solar Exit to be material.
Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, we paid $18 million, primarily related to employee separation and other restructuring costs, and we may spend an additional $30 million - $50 million associated with expenditures related to the ADT Solar Exit.
The estimated charges and cash expenditures resulting from the ADT Solar Exit could change materially due to various factors including unknown or unforeseen costs.
The Company’s reported operating metrics, gross customer revenue attrition and recurring monthly revenue (as defined and discussed below), were not impacted by the ADT Solar Exit.
Commercial Divestiture
As discussed in Note 1 “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 3 “Divestitures,” we divested our Commercial Business during the fourth quarter of 2023. The results of the Commercial Business are classified as a discontinued operation in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the historical periods presented. Additionally, for periods prior to the Commercial Divestiture, the cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) of the Commercial Business have not been segregated and are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), respectively, for any period presented prior to the Commercial Divestiture.
The Company’s reported operating metrics, gross customer revenue attrition and recurring monthly revenue (as defined and discussed below), have been recast for any period prior to the sale to exclude the Commercial Business.
Income received in connection with the Commercial TSA is recognized in other income (expense), and the expenses incurred by the Company to support the transition are recorded based on the nature of the expense.
FACTORS AFFECTING OPERATING RESULTS
The factors described herein could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and key performance indicators. Unless otherwise noted, our results of operations discussed below relate to continuing operations and may be impacted by the ADT Solar Exit and Commercial Divestiture.
Generally, a significant upfront investment is required to acquire new subscribers that in turn provide ongoing and predictable recurring revenue generated from our monitoring services and other subscriber-based offerings. Although the economics of an installation may vary depending on the customer type, acquisition channel, and product offering, we generally achieve revenue break-even in approximately two years.
New customer additions and customer attrition have a direct impact on our financial results, including revenue, operating income, and cash flows. A portion of our recurring customer base can be expected to cancel its service each year as customers may choose to terminate or not to renew their contracts for a variety of reasons, including relocation, cost, loss to competition, or service issues. Relocations are sensitive to changes in the residential housing market, and fewer relocations generally lead to improvements in gross customer revenue attrition, but fewer new customer additions. Additionally, non-payment disconnects
generally increase in a weaker macroeconomic environment. We have been experiencing fewer relocation disconnects and higher non-pay disconnects largely related to housing market conditions and the weaker macroeconomic environment. We may continue to experience fluctuations in these or other trends in the future as changes in the general macroeconomic environment or housing market develop.
Our results are impacted by the mix of transactions under a Company-owned equipment model versus a customer-owned equipment model (referred to as outright sales), as there are different accounting treatments applicable to each model, as well as the mix, price, and type of offerings sold. Beginning in the second quarter of 2024, a growing number of our direct channel new customer adds are outright sales. As we continue to build our partnership with Google, introduce new or enhance our current offerings, and refine our go-to-market approach, we expect to continue to see a shift toward an increasing proportion of outright sales transactions, which will impact results in future periods when those changes occur. We have experienced an increase in the number of ADT self set-up customers sold under an outright sales model, which typically have lower monthly recurring fees than our professional installations, but we believe these customers will allow us to grow our subscriber base through access to the fast-growing do-it-yourself (“DIY”) market.
We may experience an increase in costs associated with factors such as, but not limited to, (i) offering a wider variety of products and services; (ii) providing a greater mix of interactive and smart home solutions; (iii) replacing or upgrading certain system components or technology due to technological advancements, cybersecurity upgrades, or otherwise; (iv) supply chain disruptions; (v) inflationary pressures on costs such as materials, labor, and fuel; and (vi) other changes in prices, interest rates, or terms from our suppliers, vendors, or third-party lenders.
As part of our response to changes or pressures in the current macroeconomic environment, we have been evaluating, and continue to evaluate, cost-saving opportunities such as leveraging technology, reducing headcount or our physical facilities footprint when appropriate, and reducing non-essential spend. While we have experienced some increase in costs as a result of inflation, we have, for the most part, been able to offset the rising costs through price increases to our customers, as well as cost-saving opportunities.
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
We evaluate our results using certain key performance indicators, including operating metrics such as recurring monthly revenue (“RMR”) and gross customer revenue attrition, as well as the non-GAAP measure Adjusted EBITDA. Computations of our key performance indicators may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Certain operating metrics are approximated, as there may be variations to reported results due to certain adjustments we might make in connection with the integration over several periods of acquired companies that calculated these metrics differently or periodic reassessments and refinements in the ordinary course of business, including changes due to system conversions or historical methodology differences in legacy systems.
End-of-Period RMR (“RMR”)
RMR is generated by contractual recurring fees for monitoring and other recurring services provided to our customers, including contracts monitored but not owned.
We use RMR to evaluate our overall sales, installation, and retention performance. Additionally, we believe the presentation of RMR is useful to investors because it measures the volume of revenue under contract at a given point in time, which is useful for forecasting future revenue performance as the majority of our revenue comes from recurring sources.
Gross Customer Revenue Attrition
Gross customer revenue attrition is defined as RMR lost as a result of customer attrition, net of dealer charge-backs and reinstated customers, excluding contracts monitored but not owned and self-setup/DIY customers. Customer sites are considered canceled when all services are terminated. Dealer charge-backs represent customer cancellations charged back to the dealers because the customer canceled service during the charge-back period, which is generally thirteen months.
Gross customer revenue attrition is calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis, the numerator of which is the RMR lost during the period due to attrition, net of dealer charge-backs and reinstated customers, and the denominator of which is total annualized RMR based on an average of RMR under contract at the beginning of each month during the period, in each case, excluding contracts monitored but not owned and self-setup/DIY customers.
We use gross customer revenue attrition to evaluate our retention and customer satisfaction performance, as well as evaluate subscriber trends by vintage year. Additionally, we believe the presentation of gross customer revenue attrition is useful to investors as it provides a means to evaluate drivers of customer attrition and the impact of retention initiatives.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP measure), and additional information, including a description of the limitations relating to the use of Adjusted EBITDA, are provided under “—Non-GAAP Measures.”

*N/A — Not applicable.
Revenue
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, revenue, as compared to the prior periods, primarily reflects:
•Monitoring and related services (“M&S Revenue”): higher recurring revenue of $25 million and $59 million, respectively, primarily driven by an increase in average prices.
•Security installation, product, and other: (i) an increase in the amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition revenue of $13 million and $26 million, respectively, associated with customers under a Company-owned model, as well as (ii) an increase in installation revenue of $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by a higher volume of outright sales transactions and higher installation revenue per unit associated with new customers under the outright sales transaction model.
The increase in RMR, as compared to the prior period, was primarily driven by an increase in average prices on new and existing subscribers.
Gross customer revenue attrition, as compared to the prior period, remained flat and included higher non-payment disconnects offset by a decrease in voluntary and other disconnects as well as relocations.
Cost of Revenue
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, cost of revenue, as compared to the prior period, reflects an increase in monitoring and related service costs of $9 million primarily due to higher interactive fees and other customer service initiatives.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, cost of revenue, as compared to the prior period, reflects an increase in installation costs of $10 million primarily due to a higher volume of outright sales transactions.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
The increase in SG&A during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the prior period, was primarily driven by:
•an increase in general and administrative costs of $28 million and $35 million, which includes a current year charge and prior year credit related to legal settlements in an aggregate amount of approximately $40 million,
•an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $20 million and $30 million, as a result of an increase in customer delinquencies,
•an increase in share-based compensation costs of $13 million and $8 million, primarily due to certain award modifications and
•an increase in selling costs of $8 million and $21 million, primarily related to the amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition costs and commissions.
Depreciation and Intangible Asset Amortization
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the increase in depreciation and intangible asset amortization, as compared to the prior period, was primarily driven by increases related to acquired customer contracts and subscriber system assets of $6 million and $4 million, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease in depreciation and intangible asset amortization, as compared to the prior period, was primarily driven by a decrease in the amortization of customer relationship intangible assets of $32 million, primarily related to certain assets acquired as part of the acquisition of The ADT Security Corporation in 2016, partially offset by an increase in the amortization of acquired customer contracts and subscriber system assets of $13 million and $5 million, respectively.
Interest Expense, Net
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the increase in interest expense, net, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily driven by a decrease in net unrealized gains of $60 million on our interest rate swaps, partially offset by lower interest expense primarily related to lower principal amounts outstanding on our First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 and our ADT Notes due 2024.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the decrease in interest expense, net, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily driven by lower interest expense primarily related to lower principal amounts outstanding on our First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 and our ADT Notes due 2024, partially offset by a decrease in net unrealized gains of $10 million on our interest rate swaps.
Other Income (Expense)
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the increases in other income (expense), as compared to the prior periods, was primarily due to income received under the Commercial TSA.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, income tax expense was $60 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 32.2%. This primarily represents the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0%, a state tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 5.9%, and an unfavorable impact from dispositions of 5.0%.
During the three months ended June 30, 2023 income tax expense was $67 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 26.9% This primarily represents the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% and a state tax rate, and net of federal benefits, of 5.0%.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, income tax expense was $116 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 28.6%. This primarily represents the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0%, a state tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 5.6%, and an unfavorable impact from dispositions of 2.3%.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, income tax expense was $86 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 27.6%. This primarily represents the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0%, a state tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 6.1%, an unfavorable impact from permanent non-deductible items of 1.5%, partially offset by favorable impacts from federal tax credits of 1.0%.
Deferred Tax Assets
We have a significant amount of deferred tax assets, against which we take valuation allowances that relate to the uncertainty of our ability to utilize these deferred tax assets in future periods. We review periodically those matters that can influence our decision as to whether or not a valuation allowance is appropriate. Among those matters considered are pending and enacted legislation. We will consider each quarter whether any developments to such legislation, together with the other factors we consider, require a valuation allowance.
We believe that our deferred tax assets for disallowed interest under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 163(j) will continue to grow from their current level. There is currently significant uncertainty in the matters we consider when determining whether it is appropriate to take additional valuation allowances. While we have not reported any material changes to our valuation allowances since our 2023 Annual Report, we may determine to do so in subsequent periods. Any material change to our valuation allowance would materially and adversely affect our operating results and may result in a net loss position for any given period.
Net Operating Losses
During 2023, we utilized a significant portion of our net operating losses (“NOLs”) to offset the gain generated from the sale of the Commercial Business. As of December 31, 2023, we disclosed that we expect to utilize our remaining NOLs during 2024. The Company expects to become a federal cash taxpayer in 2025 depending on future losses generated by the business, specifically with regard to the ADT Solar Exit.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
To provide investors with additional information in connection with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA as a non-GAAP measure. This measure is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and it should not be considered as a substitute for net income, income (loss) from continuing operations, operating income, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to measure the operational strength and performance of our business. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful as it provides investors additional information about our operating profitability adjusted for certain non-cash items, non-routine items we do not expect to continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items not core to our operations. Further, we believe Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of operating profitability because we use it for evaluating our business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing our performance against other peer companies using similar measures.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as income (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; (vii) impairment charges; and (viii) non-cash, non-routine, or other adjustments or charges not necessary to operate our business.
There are material limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA as it does not include certain significant items, including interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other adjustments which directly affect our income (loss) from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP measure). These limitations are best addressed by considering the economic effects of the excluded items independently and by considering Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with income (loss) from continuing operations as calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations:

The factors listed below exclude amounts that are outside of our definition of Adjusted EBITDA. Refer to the discussions above under “—Results of Operations” for further details.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024 the decrease in Adjusted EBITDA, as compared to the prior period, was primarily due to:
•higher selling, general, and administrative expenses, excluding commissions, of $45 million including negative impacts from legal settlements of $40 million and higher provision for credit losses of $20 million, partially offset by
•higher M&S Revenue, net of the associated costs, of $18 million and
•higher other income of $15 million, including TSA income.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the increase in Adjusted EBITDA, as compared to the prior period, was primarily due to:
•higher M&S Revenue, net of the associated costs, of $62 million,
•higher other income of $32 million, including TSA income, partially offset by
•higher selling, general, and administrative expenses, excluding commissions, of $60 million, including negative impacts from legal settlements of $40 million and higher provision for credit losses of $30 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity and capital resources primarily consisted of the following:
| | | | | |
(in thousands) | June 30, 2024 |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 37,883 | |
Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents | $ | 111,034 | |
Availability under First Lien Revolving Credit Facility | $ | 575,000 | |
| |
Uncommitted available borrowing capacity under 2020 Receivables Facility | $ | 126,145 | |
| |
Carrying amount of total debt outstanding, including finance leases | $ | 7,724,470 | |
Liquidity
We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, and the issuance of equity and/or debt securities as appropriate given market conditions. Our future cash needs are expected to include cash for operating activities including working capital, principal and interest payments on our debt, capital expenditures, potential dividend payments to our stockholders, potential share repurchases under our Share Repurchase Plan, and from time to time, strategic investments, bulk account purchases, or other initiatives that we may undertake.
We are a highly leveraged company with significant debt service requirements and have both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. We may periodically seek to repay, redeem, repurchase, or refinance our indebtedness, or seek to retire or purchase our outstanding securities through cash purchases in the open market, privately negotiated transactions, a 10b5-1 repurchase plan, or otherwise, and any such transactions may involve material amounts. Cash outflows for interest payments are not consistent between quarters, with larger outflows occurring in the first and third quarters, and may vary as a result of our variable rate debt.
We believe our cash position, available borrowing capacity under our credit agreements, and cash provided by operating activities are, and will continue to be, adequate to meet our operational and business needs in the next twelve months, as well as our long-term liquidity needs.
Material Cash Requirements
There have been no significant changes to our material cash requirements, commitments and contingencies, or off-balance sheet arrangements from those disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report, except as discussed below.
Share Repurchase Plan
On January 24, 2024, our Board of Directors announced the Share Repurchase Plan (the “Share Repurchase Plan”), pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase, through January 29, 2025, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $350 million of shares of our Common Stock under the Share Repurchase Plan. As of June 30, 2024, we have approximately $257 million remaining under the Share Repurchase Plan.
ADT Solar Exit
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we paid $18 million, and we may spend an additional $30 million - $50 million, associated with the ADT Solar Exit.
Other Contractual Obligations
As discussed in Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies,” during the six months ended June 30, 2024, we made purchases toward our $200 million commitment under the Google Cloud Agreement Addendum of $10 million.
In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, purchases toward our commitment to one of our vendors to purchase at least $320 million of security system equipment and components were $100 million.
Long-Term Debt
Significant changes and activity related to our long-term debt since our 2023 Annual Report are discussed below. Refer to Note 5 “Debt” for further discussion on our debt agreements and activity.
First Lien Credit Agreement
In April 2024, we amended and restated the First Lien Credit Agreement, which reduced the interest rate on our First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 from Term SOFR +2.50% to Term SOFR +2.25%.
In May 2024, we amended and restated the First Lien Credit Agreement, which included the exchange of $143 million principal amount of loans under the Company’s Term Loan A Facility for its First Lien Term Loan B due 2030. In addition, later that month, we further amended and restated the First Lien Credit Agreement, pursuant to which we incurred an additional $474 million of outstanding principal under the First Lien Term B Loan due 2030 and used the proceeds used to pay off the remaining outstanding balance of the Term Loan A Facility.
Proceeds and repayments of long-term borrowings include the impact of $646 million from the amendments described above. In addition, loss on extinguishment of debt and financing and consent fees were not material as a result of these amendments.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we borrowed $260 million and repaid $260 million under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility.
Term Loan A Facility Redemption
In May 2024 the Company exchanged $143 million of loans under its Term Loan A Facility for its First Lien Term Loan B due 2030, as discussed above. In addition, later that month, the Company redeemed the remaining outstanding principal balance of $474 million of its Term Loan A Facility, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, using proceeds under the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030, as discussed above. As a result, the Term Loan A Facility has been terminated.
First Lien Notes due 2024 Redemption
In April 2024, we redeemed the remaining outstanding principal balance of $100 million of our First Lien Notes due 2024, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, using proceeds from the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility.
2020 Receivables Facility
In March 2024, we amended the agreement governing the 2020 Receivables Facility, pursuant to which the uncommitted revolving period was extended from March 2024 to April 2024.
In April 2024, we further amended the agreement governing the 2020 Receivables Facility, pursuant to which, among other things, the borrowing capacity was increased from $500 million to $550 million and the uncommitted revolving period was extended from April 2024 to April 2025. In addition, proceeds and repayments of long-term borrowings include the impact of $32 million from the amendments described above.
As of June 30, 2024, the outstanding balance was $424 million.
Solar Receivables Facility
On August 2, 2023, we entered into the Solar Receivables Facility Financing Agreement to finance receivables generated by the installation of residential solar systems, which, among other things, provides for an uncommitted revolving loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million. As of June 30, 2024, we have not borrowed any amounts under the Solar Receivable Facility, and given the ADT Solar Exit, we do not expect to borrow any amounts under the Solar Receivables Facility. The Solar Receivables Facility’s uncommitted revolving period will expire in August 2024.
Debt Covenants
As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all financial covenant and other maintenance tests for all our debt obligations. We do not believe there is a material risk of future noncompliance with our financial covenant and other maintenance tests.
Dividends
During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we declared aggregate dividends of $94 million ($0.055 per share) and $61 million ($0.035 per share) on our Common Stock, respectively, and $6 million ($0.055 per share) and $4 million ($0.035 per share) on our Class B Common Stock, respectively.
On August 1, 2024, we announced a dividend of $0.055 per share to holders of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of record on September 13, 2024, which will be paid on October 4, 2024.
Cash Flow Analysis
The amounts and discussion below include cash flows from both continuing operations and discontinued operations, as appropriate, consistent with the presentation on the Statements of Cash Flows.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Six Months Ended June 30, |
(in thousands) | 2024 | | 2023 | | $ Change |
Net cash provided by (used in): | | | | | |
Operating activities | $ | 927,005 | | | $ | 799,435 | | | $ | 127,570 | |
Investing activities | $ | (632,693) | | | $ | (654,700) | | | $ | 22,007 | |
Financing activities | $ | (275,345) | | | $ | (257,515) | | | $ | (17,830) | |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities, as compared to the prior period, was primarily due to a decrease in cash interest of $98 million primarily related to reduced principal balances on our debt, lower employee-related payments, and the benefit of lower outflows in the current year related to our Solar business. This increase was partially offset by the results of the former Commercial business and proceeds from a legal settlement received in the prior period.
The remainder of the activity related to changes in assets and liabilities due to the volume and timing of other operating cash receipts and payments with respect to when the transactions are reflected in earnings. Refer to the discussions above under “—Results of Operations” for further details.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The decrease in net cash used in investing activities, as compared to the prior period, was primarily due to:
•a decrease in subscriber system assets expenditures of $36 million due to fewer adds partially offset by
•an increase in dealer generated customer accounts and bulk account purchases of $8 million.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The increase in net cash used in financing activities, as compared to the prior period, was primarily due to:
•share repurchases during the current period of $93 million,
•an increase in net repayments on our 2020 Receivables Facility of $60 million, partially offset by
•a decrease in net repayments on our long-term debt of $111 million.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
We disclosed our critical accounting estimates in our 2023 Annual Report, which include estimates prepared in accordance with GAAP that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations.
Critical accounting estimates are based on, among other things, estimates, assumptions, and judgments made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. Our estimates are based on relevant information available at the end of each period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or market conditions.
There were no material changes in our critical accounting estimates since our 2023 Annual Report.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain information that may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are made in reliance on the safe harbor protections provided thereunder.

Any stated or implied outcomes with regards to the foregoing are forward-looking.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentences, any time we use the words “ expects,” “intends,” “will,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “confident,” “continue,” “propose,” “seeks,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “might,” “goals,” “objectives,” “targets,” “planned,” “projects,” and, in each case, their negative or other various or comparable terminology, and similar expressions, we intend to clearly express that the information deals with possible future events and is forward-looking in nature. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
For ADT, particular uncertainties that could cause our actual results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward- looking statements include, without limitation:
•our ability to effectively implement our strategic partnership with, commercialize products with, or utilize any of the amounts invested in us by State Farm or provided by State Farm for research and development or other purposes;
•our ability to keep pace with rapid technological changes, including the development of our next-generation platform, and industry changes;

•our ability to sell our products and services or launch new products and services in highly competitive markets, including the home security and automation market, and to achieve market acceptance with acceptable margins;
•our ability to successfully upgrade obsolete equipment installed at our customers’ premises in an efficient and cost-effective manner;
•changes in law, economic and financial conditions, including tax law changes, changes to privacy requirements, changes to telemarketing, email marketing and similar consumer protection laws, interest volatility, and trade tariffs and restrictions applicable to the products we sell;
•any material changes to the valuation allowances we take with respect to our deferred tax assets;
•the impact of potential information technology, cybersecurity, or data security breaches;

•our ability to successfully implement an equipment ownership model that best satisfies the needs of our customers and to successfully implement and maintain our receivables securitization financing agreement or similar arrangements;
•our ability to successfully pursue alternate business opportunities and strategies;
•our ability to integrate various companies we have acquired in an efficient and cost-effective manner;

•the other factors that are described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our last Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Forward-looking statements and information involve risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in, or reasonably inferred from, such statements, including without limitation, the risks and uncertainties disclosed or referenced under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A in our 2023 Annual Report. Therefore, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Much of the information in this report that looks toward future performance is based on various factors and important assumptions about future events that may or may not actually occur. As a result, our operations and financial results in the future could differ materially and substantially from those we have discussed in the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any forward-looking statement made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise unless required by law.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Our operations expose us to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in interest rates as we have both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. We monitor and manage these financial exposures as an integral part of our overall risk management program. Our policies allow for the use of specified financial instruments for hedging purposes only. Use of derivatives for speculation purposes is prohibited.
There were no material changes in our interest rate risk exposure to that disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level in ensuring information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, there were no changes in our ICFR identified in our management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
During 2023, ADT began a multi-year IT transformation project by which we are migrating much of ADT’s infrastructure to the cloud. The initiative includes certain aspects of our customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning systems. In 2024, we nationally launched our customer relationship management system for our residential pro-install customers, which resulted in changes to our processes and procedures as well as to our internal control over financial reporting; however, we concluded that this launch has not currently materially affected our internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the transition to our new enterprise resource planning system has recently started and is not planned to be implemented until the second half of 2025.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
See Note 11 “Commitments and Contingencies” to the condensed consolidated financial statements under the heading “Legal Proceedings” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for legal proceedings and related matters.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
Our significant business risks are described in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2023 Annual Report and in our other filings with the SEC. The risk factors described in our filings with the SEC and other information may not describe every risk facing the Company. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report, except as discussed below:
While we are no longer a “controlled company,” we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain NYSE corporate governance requirements during a one-year transition period.
Our Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). Prior to March 19, 2024, Apollo controlled more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company with respect to the election of directors, and we were considered a “controlled company” for the purposes of NYSE rules and corporate governance standards. While we were a “controlled company” under NYSE rules, we availed ourselves of applicable “controlled company” exemptions, which exempted us from certain requirements, including the requirements that we have a majority of independent directors on our Board of Directors and that the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”) be comprised entirely of independent directors.
On March 19, 2024, following a registered secondary offering of the Company’s Common Stock by certain Apollo affiliates (and the Company’s concurrent repurchase from the underwriters of 15 million shares of Common Stock that were the subject of the offering), including the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option which closed on that date, Apollo’s combined voting power with respect to the election of directors fell to 49.5%, and we ceased to be a controlled company as of that date. Under NYSE rules, a company that ceases to be a controlled company must comply with the independent board committee requirements as they relate to the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees on the following phase-in schedule: (i) at least one independent committee member at the time the company ceases to be a controlled company; (ii) at least a majority of independent committee members within 90 days of the date the company ceases to be a controlled company; and (iii) all independent committee members within one year of the date the company ceases to be a controlled company. Additionally, the NYSE rules provide a 12-month phase-in period from the date a company ceases to be a controlled company to comply with the majority independent board requirement.
As of the date of this report, we have two independent committee members on each of the Nominating and Corporate Governance and the Compensation Committees of the Board, our Audit Committee is comprised entirely of independent directors and we are in compliance with the phase-in requirements described above. Until we are fully subject to these requirements, our stockholders will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE.
Apollo continues to exert significant influence over us, and its interests may conflict with our interests and the interests of other stockholders.
While we are no longer a “controlled company,” Apollo continues to be able to exert significant influence over us and as of June 30, 2024 had the right to, among other things, nominate 50% of our directors pursuant to the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement, dated December 14, 2018, (the “Stockholders Agreement”) between the Company and Ultimate Parent and the Co-Investors (as defined therein). The interests of Apollo and its affiliates, including funds affiliated with Apollo, could conflict with or differ from our interests or the interests of our other stockholders. For example, the concentration of ownership held by funds affiliated with Apollo could (i) delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of our company, (ii) impede a merger, takeover, or other business combination which may otherwise be favorable for us or that another stockholder may otherwise view favorably or (iii) cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that are not in the best interests of all stockholders. Additionally, Apollo and its affiliates are in the business of making investments in companies and may, from time to time, acquire and hold interests in or provide advice to businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us, or are suppliers or customers of ours. Apollo and its affiliates may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business, and as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us. Any such investment may increase the
potential for the conflicts of interest discussed in this risk factor. So long as funds affiliated with Apollo continue to directly or indirectly own a significant amount of our equity, even if such amount is less than 50%, Apollo and its affiliates will continue to be able to substantially influence or effectively control our ability to enter into corporate transactions.
In addition, we are party to the Stockholders Agreement with Ultimate Parent and the Co-Investor. The Stockholders Agreement specifies that we will not take certain significant actions without the prior consent of Ultimate Parent, including, among other things, hiring or terminating any Executive Officer of our company, designating any new Executive Officer of our company, entering into certain merger, consolidation or other “change of control” transactions or changing the size of our Board. The Stockholders Agreement also specifies that Ultimate Parent has the right to nominate individuals for election to our Board and that we are, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, required to nominate and recommend that each such individual be elected as a director, and the right to designate a member to each committee of our Board. Relatedly, our amended and restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) provide that Ultimate Parent and the Co-Investor have the right, subject to certain conditions, to have their representatives appointed to serve on committees of our Board. Recently, stockholders agreements and bylaw provisions of this nature have been challenged on the basis that they conflict with the Delaware General Corporate Law (“DGCL”). Following the recent decision from the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in West Palm Beach Firefighters’ Pension Fund v. Moelis & Company holding that certain of those types of provisions are invalid under the DGCL, the Board received two demands from purported stockholders requesting that the Board take all action necessary to amend the Stockholders Agreement and the Bylaws to comply with the DGCL. Absent such changes, the purported stockholders threatened to take further action, including possibly commencing litigation. On July 17, 2024, the Governor of Delaware signed into law certain amendments to the DGCL, which became effective August 1, designed to address concerns following the Moelis decision (the “DGCL Amendments”). Among other things, the DGCL Amendments provide that even outside of its certificate of incorporation, a corporation can enter into agreements giving stockholders consent rights or specifying that the corporation, stockholders, or directors will take certain actions or will refrain from taking certain actions. The DGCL Amendments state that they do not apply to or affect any civil action or proceeding completed or pending on or before August 1, in which case the provisions of the DGCL predating the DGCL Amendments apply. As of the latest practicable time prior to filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company is not aware of any such suit having been filed against the Company, but it is possible that any such suit may not yet be publicly available on the court docket.

(1) On January 24, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors announced the Share Repurchase Plan, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase, through January 29, 2025, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $350 million of shares of the Company's Common Stock under this Share Repurchase Plan. The Company may effect these repurchases pursuant to one or more open market or private transactions, including pursuant to a plan that qualifies for the affirmative defense provided by Rule 10b5‐1 under the Exchange Act, or pursuant to one or more accelerated share repurchase agreements. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any of its shares of Common Stock, and the timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on legal requirements, market conditions, stock price, the availability of the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, alternative uses of capital, and other factors.
