    BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ADT Inc. (NYSE: ADT), the most trusted brand in smart home and small business security, today reported results for the third quarter of 2022.

    Financial highlights for the third quarter of 2022 are listed below. Variances are on a year-over-year basis unless otherwise noted.

    • Total revenue of $1.6 billion, up 22% or 8% excluding Solar, and end-of-period Recurring Monthly Revenue (RMR) of $372 million, up 4%
    • Record high customer retention with gross customer revenue attrition at 12.6%
    • Record revenue payback of 2.1 years
    • GAAP net loss of $122 million, or a loss of $(0.13) per diluted share, down $13 million
    • Adjusted net income of $83 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, up $137 million
    • Adjusted EBITDA of $620 million, up $66 million or 12%

    “ADT’s strong third quarter results demonstrate our continued momentum – setting records in customer retention, RMR balance and revenue payback,” said ADT President and CEO, Jim DeVries. “Our performance to date validates our progress on key initiatives, outlined earlier this year during our Investor Day, to meaningfully grow revenue, earnings and cash flows, as well as reduce debt. Additionally, we were tremendously excited to announce our partnership with State Farm. A collaboration with such a marquee organization will serve as a significant future growth catalyst for ADT and we look forward to continued positive momentum in 2023.”

    BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

    Foundation for Growth

    • Continued growth of RMR – The end-of-period RMR balance was $372 million, representing a 4% increase over the prior year period. Approximately 80% of total Consumer and Small Business (CSB) and Commercial revenue was generated from this durable recurring revenue.
    • Record customer retention and revenue payback – With strong customer satisfaction, trailing 12-month gross customer revenue attrition was 12.6% and revenue payback was a record 2.1 years at the end of the third quarter. This performance reflects an 80 basis point improvement in attrition versus the prior year period.

    Innovative Offerings

    • State Farm home protection partnership – ADT announced a flagship partnership with State Farm to revolutionize homeownership through innovation in the detection and mitigation of property losses. In addition to its $1.2 billion equity investment, State Farm committed up to $300 million to fund product and technology innovation, customer growth and marketing activities in connection with the partnership.
    • Enhanced Google offerings – As part of ADT’s partnership with Google, the Company nationally sells, installs, and services a full suite of Google Nest products, including doorbells, cameras, and thermostats. During the third quarter of 2022, the attachment rate for the Google doorbell was 51%, helping drive a 22% increase in residential installation revenue per unit as compared to the prior year period. In August, the Company began selling and installing indoor and outdoor Google Nest cameras and is currently realizing a greater than 30% increase in cameras per home.
    • Google increases success fund commitment in support of Company’s partnership with State Farm – Google committed an incremental $150 million, subject to the achievement of certain milestones, raising Google’s total success fund commitment with ADT to $300 million. The incremental funds will advance opportunities to expand access for more customers to smart home innovation and technologies via new sales programs, and other related activities.

    Unrivaled Safety

    • Protecting Uber drivers and riders – ADT partnered with Uber to integrate ADT mobile safety solutions into the Uber app for riders and drivers. Uber users in the United States can now get live help, via phone or text, from ADT professional monitoring agents. Uber joins a growing number of enterprise customers that utilize Safe by ADT to power their app-based mobile safety features.

    Premium Experience

    • ADT Virtual Assistance program – In addition to virtual service, ADT now provides a virtual installation option, offering more flexibility, convenience, and choice to customers. The Virtual Assistance program is generating high customer satisfaction at a lower cost to the Company while also lowering the Company’s carbon footprint by eliminating thousands of vehicle trips each day. This program is a meaningful contributor to the Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion in our CSB segment.

    Progress on our ESG Journey

    • Supporting Hurricane Ian disaster relief – ADT made a $100,000 contribution to the Red Cross in response to the widespread destruction caused by Hurricane Ian. Florida is home to ADT’s headquarters, as well as more than 3,500 employees and hundreds of thousands of customers.

    Monitoring and related services $1,022  $976  $46  5 %

    Total CSB revenue $1,111  $1,036  $75  7 %
             
    Adjusted EBITDA $592  $529  $63  12 %
    Adjusted EBITDA Margin (as a % of Total CSB Revenue)  53 %  51 %    

    Total CSB revenue for the third quarter was $1,111 million. This performance was driven by a $46 million, or 5%, increase in monitoring and related services (M&S) revenue resulting from higher average pricing, subscriber growth initiatives, and improved customer retention.

    CSB Adjusted EBITDA increased 12% to $592 million in the third quarter on higher M&S revenue and improved cost performance. The Company’s Virtual Assistance program allowed ADT to reduce service costs year over year even as the Company achieved an increase in subscribers and RMR.

    Commercial

    (in millions)
    		 Three Months Ended September 30,

    Adjusted EBITDA $34  $26  $9  34 %
    Adjusted EBITDA Margin (as a % of Total Commercial Revenue)  11 %  9 %    

    Total Commercial revenue for the third quarter increased 12% year over year to $314 million. Sales remain strong, and revenues also increased as a result of an increase in product and service prices. However, supply chain delays are driving a growing backlog.

    Commercial Adjusted EBITDA was $34 million in the third quarter, up 34% versus the prior year period driven by increased revenue, which was partially offset by the impact of cost inflation on materials, labor, and fuel.

    Solar

    (in millions)

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

    Total Solar revenue for the third quarter was $179 million driven by the installation of approximately 4,600 systems. Solar Adjusted EBITDA was a $6 million loss, driven primarily by installation delays associated with a third-party lender’s insolvency in the June quarter and cost inefficiencies from lower install throughput.

    BALANCE SHEET, CASH, AND LIQUIDITY

    Net cash provided by operating activities during the third quarter of 2022 was $498 million with Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $145 million. Interest in the quarter was $19 million higher year over year on the Company’s First Lien Term Loan due 2026, which pressured operating and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. However, this key variable rate debt is hedged through interest rate swaps, with a portion of these higher interest payments offset in cash flows from financing activities.

    At the end of the third quarter of 2022, the Company had total debt of $9.8 billion with continued improvements in GAAP and adjusted leverage ratios. During the third quarter, the Company reduced the outstanding balance of its revolving credit facility by $80 million, ending the quarter with no outstanding revolver borrowings.

    On Sept. 15, 2022, through its subsidiaries, the Company entered into a new debt commitment letter for up to $600 million of term loans under a senior secured term loan A facility (the Term Loan A Facility). The facility includes a delayed draw and will have a term of five years from the date of the closing of the Term Loan A Facility. The Company expects to use the proceeds of the Term Loan A Facility together with cash on hand to repay the $700 million of notes due 2023. The Company has no other significant debt maturities remaining in 2023.

    STATE FARM PARTNERSHIP AND TENDER OFFER

    On Sept. 6, 2022, ADT announced a new partnership with State Farm to revolutionize the homeownership experience through innovation in the detection and mitigation of property losses. State Farm invested $1.2 billion to acquire an approximately 15% stake in ADT, after taking into effect the tender offer described below. As part of the equity investment, State Farm obtained a seat on ADT’s Board of Directors and Paul Smith, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, State Farm’s parent entity, has joined the ADT Board of Directors as its representative. In addition to the equity investment, State Farm has committed up to $300 million to fund product and technology innovation, customer growth and marketing activities in connection with the partnership. State Farm funded the first $100 million in October 2022 and the two companies will collaborate to approve initiatives utilizing the funds.

    In connection with State Farm’s equity investment, ADT commenced a tender offer to purchase up to 133,333,333 shares of its outstanding common stock, including shares issuable upon conversion of shares of its Class B common stock, at a purchase price of $9.00 per share, in cash, less applicable withholding taxes and without interest, representing an aggregate purchase price of $1.2 billion. The tender offer effectively eliminated any dilution from State Farm’s equity investment. Following completion of the tender offer, ADT’s three largest shareholders are:

     % of Shares Outstanding
    Apollo Global Management55%
    State Farm15%
    Google6%
    Note: All share percentages are on an as-converted basis.

    The Company funded the tender offer with the proceeds of the State Farm investment and paid the fees and expenses in connection with the tender offer with available cash.

    SPECIAL ITEMS

    During the third quarter of 2022, the Company recognized two notable non-cash special items totaling $307 million. These charges are detailed below.

    • In connection with the tender offer, as described above, the Company recognized a financial instrument on its balance sheet. Changes in fair value of this financial instrument resulted in a pre-tax non-cash charge of $158 million in the third quarter of 2022. The Company expects to recognize a pre-tax non-cash gain of $95 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 from the change in fair value of this financial instrument through the closing of the State Farm transaction.
    • The Company recognized a pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $149 million associated with the Company’s Solar reporting unit. This charge primarily reflects changes in macroeconomic conditions, such as rising interest rates, as well as Solar’s underperformance of operating results in successive quarters relative to expectations.


    DIVIDEND DECLARATION

    Effective Nov. 3, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.035 per share to holders of the Company’s Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of record as of Dec. 15, 2022. This dividend will be paid on Jan. 4, 2023.

    _____________________

    (1)The Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation of its 2022 financial outlook for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities, which are their respective corresponding GAAP measures, because the Company is unable to reliably predict or estimate these GAAP measures without unreasonable effort due to their dependence on future uncertainties, such as the adjustments or items discussed below under the heading “Non-GAAP Measures.” Additionally, information that is currently not available to the Company could have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on its future GAAP financial results.
    (2)All variances are year-over-year unless otherwise noted. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Net Income (Loss) per share, and Net Leverage Ratio are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Measures” section for the definitions of these terms and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures. The operating metrics such as Gross Customer Revenue Attrition, Unit Count, RMR, Gross RMR Additions, and Revenue Payback are approximated as there may be variations to reported results in each period due to certain adjustments the Company might make in connection with the integration over several periods of acquired companies that calculated these metrics differently, or otherwise, including periodic reassessments and refinements in the ordinary course of business. These refinements, for example, may include changes due to systems conversion or historical methodology differences in legacy systems.
    (3)Amounts may not sum due to rounding.

    NON-GAAP MEASURES

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

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

    With regard to our financial guidance for 2022, the Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation for forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow to net income (loss) and net cash provided by operating activities, respectively, which are the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These GAAP measures cannot be reliably predicted or estimated without unreasonable effort due to their dependence on future uncertainties, such as the adjustment of items used in the following reconciliations. Additionally, information about other adjusting items that is currently not available to the Company could have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on its future GAAP financial results.

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

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

    We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss adjusted for (i) interest; (ii) taxes; (iii) depreciation and amortization, including depreciation of subscriber system assets and other fixed assets and amortization of dealer and other intangible assets; (iv) amortization of deferred costs and deferred revenue associated with subscriber acquisitions; (v) share-based compensation expense; (vi) merger, restructuring, integration, and other; (vii) losses on extinguishment of debt; (viii) radio conversion costs net of any related incremental revenue earned; and (ix) other income/gain or expense/loss items such as changes in fair value of certain financial instruments, impairment charges, financing and consent fees, or acquisition-related adjustments.

    There are material limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA as it does not reflect certain significant items which directly affect our net income or loss (the most comparable GAAP measure).

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

    Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and Reconciliation to GAAP Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities

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

    We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Free Cash Flow adjusted for net cash flows related to (i) net proceeds from our consumer receivables facility; (ii) financing and consent fees; (iii) restructuring and integration; (iv) integration-related capital expenditures; (v) radio conversion costs net of any related incremental revenue collected; and (vi) other payments or receipts that may mask our operating results or business trends.

    We believe the presentations of Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are appropriate to provide investors with useful information about our ability to repay debt, make other investments, and pay dividends. In addition, we believe the presentation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow is also a useful measure of our cash flow attributable to our normal business activities, inclusive of the net cash flows associated with the acquisition of subscribers, as well as our ability to repay other debt, make other investments, and pay dividends.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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