Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, accounts receivable, retail installment contract receivables (“RICs”), accounts payable, debt, and derivatives. Due to their short-term and/or liquid nature, the fair values of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their respective carrying amounts.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash Equivalents - Included in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, as applicable from time to time, are investments in money market mutual funds. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 fair value measurements, which represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, investments in money market mutual funds were $50 million and $90 million, respectively.
Long-Term Debt Instruments - The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt instruments are determined using broker-quoted market prices, which represent quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities as well as other observable market data, and are classified as Level 2 fair value measurements. The carrying amounts of debt outstanding, if any, under the Company’s first lien revolving credit facility (the “First Lien Revolving Credit Facility”) and the 2020 Receivables Facility approximate their fair values as interest rates on these borrowings approximate current market rates. Refer to Note 6 “Debt.”

Derivative Financial Instruments - Derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value as either assets or liabilities that are primarily calculated using discounted cash flow models utilizing observable inputs, such as quoted forward interest rates, and incorporate credit risk adjustments to reflect the risk of default by the counterparty or the Company. The resulting fair values are classified as Level 2 fair value measurements.
Refer to Note 7 “Derivative Financial Instruments” for the fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments.
Retail Installment Contract Receivables - The fair values of the Company’s RICs are determined using a discounted cash flow model and are classified as Level 3 fair value measurements. Refer to Note 2 “Revenue and Receivables.”

The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price, which is determined using observable internal and external pricing, profitability, and operational metrics.
Customer-Owned Transactions - In transactions involving security systems sold outright to the customer (referred to as outright sales), the Company’s performance obligations generally include the sale and installation of the security system, which is primarily recognized at a point in time based upon the nature of the transaction and contractual terms, and any monitoring and related services, which are recognized when these services are provided to the customer.
Company-Owned Transactions - In transactions in which the Company provides monitoring and related services but retains ownership of the security system, the Company’s performance obligations primarily include (i) monitoring and related services, which are recognized when these services are provided to the customer, and (ii) a material right associated with the one-time non-refundable fees in connection with the initiation of a monitoring contract which the customer will not be required to pay again upon a renewal of the contract (referred to as deferred subscriber acquisition revenue).
Deferred subscriber acquisition revenue is amortized on a pooled basis over the estimated life of the customer relationship using an accelerated method consistent with the treatment of subscriber system assets and deferred subscriber acquisition costs.
Remaining Performance Obligations
As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s total remaining unsatisfied performance obligations relating to the provision of monitoring and related services are as follows (in thousands):

Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company evaluates its allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable in pools based on customer type. For each customer pool, the allowance for credit losses is estimated based on the delinquency status of the underlying receivables and the related historical loss experience, as adjusted for current and expected future conditions, if applicable. The allowance for credit losses is not material for the individual pools of customers.

The contract asset is reclassified to accounts receivable as additional services are performed and billed, which is when the Company’s right to the consideration becomes unconditional.
The Company has the right to bill customers as services are provided over time, which generally occurs over the course of a 12-, 24-, 36-, or 60-month period as additional services are performed and billed. There is no significant financing component.

(Unaudited)
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company borrowed and repaid $198 million under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility. As of September 30, 2025, the available borrowing capacity was $800 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company borrowed and repaid $325 million under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility.
Significant activity since December 31, 2024 is as follows:
•March 2025 - The Company amended and restated the First Lien Credit Agreement, which provided for the issuance of a new $600 million first lien seven-year term loan (the “First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032”) (subject to a springing maturity of 91 days prior to the maturity date of certain long-term indebtedness of Prime Security Services Borrower, LLC and its subsidiaries if, on such date, the aggregate principal amount of such indebtedness equals or exceeds $1 billion), and received net proceeds of $597 million. Loans under the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032 are treated as a separate class from the existing loans under the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030. The First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032 requires scheduled quarterly amortization payments, which commenced on June 30, 2025, equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032, with the remaining balance payable at maturity. The Company may make voluntary prepayments on the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032 at any time prior to maturity at par, however, such prepayment will be subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium in the event of certain specified refinancing events during the first six months after the most recent amendment. Additionally, the Company used the net proceeds to redeem $500 million of the First Lien Notes due 2026.
•July 2025 - The Company amended and restated the First Lien Credit Agreement, which provided for the issuance of $550 million of incremental borrowings under the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032, and received net proceeds of $545 million. These incremental borrowings have the same terms as existing loans under the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032. Additionally, the Company used the net proceeds and cash on hand to redeem $550 million of the First Lien Notes due 2026.
Debt issuance costs incurred as a result of the transactions above were not material during the period.
Other than as described above, the term 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.
Subsequent Events - In October 2025, the Company amended and restated the First Lien Credit Agreement, which provided for the issuance of $300 million of incremental borrowings under the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032. The Company used the proceeds to partially redeem the Second Lien Notes due 2028. Also in October 2025, the Company partially redeemed $200 million of the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 with proceeds from the Term Loan A due 2030.
Term Loan A due 2030
Subsequent event - In October 2025, the Company entered into a term loan credit agreement for an aggregate principal amount of $325 million of term loans under a senior secured term loan A facility (the “Term Loan A due 2030”). The Company used a portion of the proceeds to redeem $200 million of the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 and intends to use the remaining proceeds for additional debt redemption.
First Lien Notes due 2033
Subsequent event - In October 2025, the Company issued $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.875% first-priority senior secured notes due 2033 (the “First Lien Notes due 2033”). The Company used the proceeds to redeem the majority of the Second Lien Notes due 2028.

First Lien Notes due 2026 Partial Redemptions
Significant activity since December 31, 2024 is as follows:
•March 2025 - The Company redeemed $500 million of the First Lien Notes due 2026, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, for a total redemption price of $506 million, which includes a make-whole payment, using proceeds from the Company’s March 2025 issuance of the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032.
•July 2025 - The Company redeemed $550 million of the First Lien Notes due 2026, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, for a total redemption price of $554 million, which includes a make-whole payment, using proceeds from the Company’s July 2025 issuance of the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032 and cash on hand.
Loss on extinguishment of debt was not material during the period.
Second Lien Notes due 2028 Redemption
Subsequent event - In October, 2025, the Company redeemed the Second Lien Notes due 2028, using proceeds from the First Lien Notes due 2033, incremental borrowings under the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032, and cash on hand.
2020 Receivables Facility
Under the 2020 Receivables Facility, the Company obtains financing by selling or contributing certain RICs to the Company’s wholly-owned consolidated bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity (the “SPE”), which then grants a security interest in those RICs as collateral for cash borrowings.
Significant activity since December 31, 2024 is as follows:
•March 2025 - The Company amended the agreement governing the 2020 Receivables Facility to extend the uncommitted revolving period to March 2026, reduce the interest rate on outstanding borrowings, and increase the advance rate on pledged collateral.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had an uncommitted available borrowing capacity under the 2020 Receivables Facility of approximately $109 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.
The SPE’s assets and liabilities primarily consist of a portion of the Company’s unbilled RICs, net, as discussed in Note 2 “Revenue and Receivables,” and borrowings under the 2020 Receivables Facility, as presented above.
The impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations from the 2020 Receivables Facility was primarily due to the allowance for credit losses and interest expense.
7. 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. SOFR is the applicable benchmark for all of the Company's interest rate swap contracts. All interest rate swap contracts are reported at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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.
Table of Contents
ADT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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 certain of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts that were entered into with the intention of offsetting the economic overhedged position of a portion of the Company’s existing interest rate swaps are reflected as cash flows from investing activities.
The cash flows associated with certain of the Company’s 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 certain of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges are reflected as cash flows from operating activities.
The Company’s derivative instruments were entered into with the objective of reducing the variability in future expected interest payments on a portion of the Company’s First Lien Term Loan Bs or their replacement. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges were highly effective at inception and are expected to continue to be highly effective.
The Company’s interest rate swaps consist of the following (notional amounts in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Execution | | Maturity | | Designation | | September 30, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 | |

8. INCOME TAXES
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits relate to tax years that remain subject to audit by the taxing authorities in the U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign jurisdictions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded an increase to its unrecognized tax benefits of $11 million related to prior year tax positions. Based on the current tax statutes and current status of its income tax audits, the Company does not expect unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly in the next twelve months.
Effective Tax Rate
The effective tax rate can vary from period to period due to permanent tax adjustments, discrete items such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws, as well as recurring factors such as changes in the overall state tax rate. The discussion below is based on the continuing operations of the Company.
The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $55 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 27.7%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory rate of 21.0%, a state tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 5.2%, and an unfavorable impact from a non-deductible goodwill impairment charge of 1.5%.
The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $50 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 27.6%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% and a state tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 6.2%.
The Company’s income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $165 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 26.6%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory rate of 21.0%, and a state tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 5.2%.
The Company’s income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $167 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 28.3%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0%, a state tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 5.8%, and an unfavorable impact from dispositions of 1.6%.
Other Tax Matters
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, some of which may be favorable in 2025 to cash taxes. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on future periods.

The 2025 Share Repurchase Plan allowed the Company to purchase Common Stock, from time to time, in one or more open market or privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 or Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, or pursuant to one or more accelerated share repurchase agreements, subject to certain requirements and other factors. The Company was not obligated to repurchase any of its shares of Common Stock, and the timing and amount of any repurchases depended 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.
In March 2025, the Company repurchased, and subsequently retired, 20 million shares of its Common Stock under the 2025 Share Repurchase Plan for $152 million (or $7.62 per share) in connection with a secondary offering of the Company’s Common Stock by Apollo. Refer to Note 14 “Related Party Transactions” for further information.
Additionally, in March 2025, the Company repurchased, and subsequently retired, an additional 18 million shares in the open market pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act in multiple transactions for $140 million (or $7.79 per share).
Throughout the second quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased, and subsequently retired, 12 million shares in the open market pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act under the 2025 Share Repurchase Plan in multiple transactions for a total of $96 million (or $8.14 per share).
In July 2025, the Company repurchased, and subsequently retired, 11 million shares of its Common Stock under the 2025 Share Repurchase Plan for $93 million (or $8.31 per share) in connection with a secondary offering of the Company’s Common Stock by Apollo. The Company also repurchased, and subsequently retired, an additional 2 million shares in the open market pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act under the 2025 Share Repurchase Plan in multiple transactions for a total of $19 million (or $8.45 per share).

10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
RSUs
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company completed its annual long-term incentive plan equity award (the “2025 Annual Grant”) to employees and granted approximately 3.4 million RSUs under its 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2018 Plan”), with a grant date fair value of $7.59, which is 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 2025, the Company granted approximately 8.3 million options under the 2018 Plan as part of the 2025 Annual Grant. These options are service-based awards with a three-year graded vesting period from the date of grant and have an exercise price of $7.59, 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 during the period was $2.65.
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) | 6 - 7 |
Expected volatility(1) | 41.7% |
Expected dividend yield(2) | 2.9% |
Risk-free interest rate(3) | 4.2% |
_________________(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.

During the first quarter of 2025, the Company modified certain share-based compensation awards and recorded additional share-based compensation expense of $11 million associated with these modifications.
11. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company applies the two-class method for computing and presenting earnings per share for each class of common stock, which allocates current period income (losses) to each class of common stock and participating securities based on dividends declared and participation rights in the remaining undistributed earnings or losses.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the income (losses) allocated to each class of common stock by the related weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings 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 for the periods presented exclude unvested shares of approximately 4 million and 7 million, respectively, as their vesting is contingent upon achievement of certain performance requirements.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contractual Obligations
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s contractual obligations as compared to December 31, 2024, except as discussed below:
Google Commercial Agreement
In July 2020, the Company and Google LLC (“Google”) entered into a Master Supply, Distribution, and Marketing Agreement (as amended, the “Google Commercial Agreement”), which, among other things, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025, $20 million of the Google Success Funds were reimbursed to the Company primarily for certain joint marketing and customer acquisition expenses incurred by the Company, substantially all of which was recorded as a reduction to advertising expenses.

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 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.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company continues to work to meet this commitment.
Other Commitments
The Company is party to an agreement with one of its vendors to purchase at least $370 million of security system equipment and components through December 2025. This commitment is also satisfied through purchases made by the Company’s dealer network.
As of December 31, 2024, the remaining amount under this commitment was $172 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, purchases toward this commitment were approximately $140 million.
Guarantees
In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s guarantees primarily relate to standby letters of credit related to its insurance programs and totaled $48 million and $74 million, 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 related to alleged alarm system failures, 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 the disclosures in the Company’s 2024 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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s accrual for ongoing claims and lawsuits within the scope of an insurance program, including certain amounts related to discontinued operations, totaled $90 million and $94 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.
14. 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, certain transactions with Apollo or State Farm. There were no notable related party transactions during the periods presented other than as described below.
Apollo
March 2025 Offering and Share Repurchase
On March 3, 2025, the Company and certain entities managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (the “Selling Stockholders”) entered into an underwriting agreement with Barclays Capital Inc. and Citigroup Capital Markets Inc., as representatives of the underwriters named therein, including Apollo Global Securities, LLC, an affiliate of Apollo (collectively, the “March 2025 Underwriters”), in connection with the offer and sale by the Selling Stockholders of 70 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock (plus an additional 10.5 million shares at the option of the March 2025 Underwriters) (the “March 2025 Offering”).
As part of the March 2025 Offering, the Company repurchased, and subsequently retired, 20 million shares of its Common Stock under its 2025 Share Repurchase Plan from the March 2025 Underwriters (the “March 2025 Share Repurchase”) for an aggregate purchase price of $152 million (or approximately $7.62 per share), which was the same per share price paid by the March 2025 Underwriters to the Selling Stockholders. The repurchase is reflected as a reduction to additional paid-in-capital and as a financing cash outflow.
The March 2025 Offering and the March 2025 Share Repurchase closed on March 4, 2025. On March 7, 2025, the March 2025 Underwriters exercised the March 2025 Underwriters’ Option in full, which subsequently closed on March 11, 2025.
June 2025 Apollo Sale
During the second quarter of 2025, the Selling Stockholders sold an aggregate of 45 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the open market at a price of $8.27 per share (the “June 2025 Apollo Sale”). Immediately following the June 2025 Apollo Sale, Apollo owned less than 25% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and, as a result, the Company’s Amended and Restated Management Investor Rights Agreement terminated. The consent rights described in Section 4.1 of the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement also terminated following the June 2025 Apollo Sale. Additionally, the margin loan as defined and discussed in the 2024 Annual Report was paid off in full following the June 2025 Apollo Sale.
July 2025 Offering and Share Repurchase
During the third quarter of 2025, the Selling Stockholders sold 71 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock (plus an additional 10.65 million shares at the option of the underwriters) (the “July 2025 Offering”). In connection with the July 2025 Offering, the Company repurchased, and subsequently retired, 11 million shares of its Common Stock under the 2025 Share Repurchase Plan for an aggregate purchase price of $93 million (or approximately $8.31 per share).
March 2024 Offering and Share Repurchase
During the first quarter of 2024, the Selling Stockholders sold 65 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock (plus an additional 9.75 million shares at the option of the underwriters) (the “March 2024 Offering”). In connection with the March 2024 Offering, the Company repurchased, and subsequently retired, 15 million shares of its Common Stock under the 2024 Share Repurchase Plan for an aggregate purchase price of $93 million (or approximately $6.22 per share).
The shares in the above offerings were sold by the Selling Stockholders; and the Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares by the Selling Stockholders. In addition, the Company did not pay any underwriting fees, including on behalf of the Selling Stockholders or otherwise.

Other Transactions with Apollo
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, other fees incurred to Apollo were not material.
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 received $100 million during 2022. Amounts held by the Company in the Opportunity Fund are restricted until the Company uses the funds, as agreed upon with State Farm, in accordance with the State Farm Development Agreement.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance of the portion of the Opportunity Fund held by the Company was $82 million and $85 million, respectively, which is presented in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents and the corresponding liability is presented in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company made payments from the Opportunity Fund of $6 million and $10 million, respectively. Interest earned on the Opportunity Fund was not material.
Subsequent event - The State Farm Development Agreement expired on October 13, 2025. On October 24, 2025, the Company repaid to State Farm substantially all of the balance of the Opportunity Fund held by the Company. State Farm has no obligation to fund the Opportunity Fund in the future. In addition, the Company ended its State Farm partnership programs in existing states in connection with the expiration of the State Farm Development Agreement.
Fleet Management Agreement
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor affiliated with Apollo for fleet management and related services through 2030. The impact to the Company was not material during the periods presented.

INTRODUCTION
The following section 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.”
The discussion and analysis below focuses on significant or material items to the Company. 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 2024 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.
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
We report our results as a single operating and reportable 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 our former Solar and Commercial businesses are presented within discontinued operations for current and historical periods, as applicable.
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
We evaluate our results using certain key performance indicators, including operating metrics such as recurring monthly revenue and gross customer revenue attrition, as well as GAAP total revenue and the non-GAAP measures Adjusted Earnings per Share (“Adjusted EPS”) and Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”), both from continuing operations.
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.
Total Revenue
Management and the Board use total revenue, which is calculated in accordance with GAAP, to evaluate the performance of employees (including members of management) and the Company as a whole, as well as to allocate resources. Refer to the section titled “Results of Operations—Revenue” for additional information.
End-of-Period Recurring Monthly Revenue (“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 set-up/do-it-yourself (“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 set-up/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 EPS
Adjusted EPS (from continuing operations) is a non-GAAP measure. Our definition of Adjusted EPS, a reconciliation of Adjusted EPS to diluted income (loss) from continuing operations per share (the most directly comparable GAAP measure), and additional information, including a description of the limitations relating to the use of Adjusted EPS, are provided under “Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Measures.”
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA (from continuing operations) is a non-GAAP measure. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA, a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations (the most directly comparable GAAP measure), and additional information, including a description of the limitations relating to the use of Adjusted EBITDA, are provided under “Results of Operations—Non-GAAP Measures.”
TRENDS, UNCERTAINTIES, AND FACTORS AFFECTING OPERATING RESULTS
The information described herein could have a material 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.
Subscribers
As of September 30, 2025, we served approximately 6.3 million security monitoring service subscribers (including approximately 200 thousand subscribers associated with the Multifamily business that was divested on October 1, 2025). Generally, a significant upfront investment is required to acquire new subscribers that in turn provide ongoing and predictable recurring revenue (RMR) generated from our monitoring services and other subscriber-based offerings. Although the economics of each installation may vary depending on the customer type, acquisition channel, and product and service offerings, we generally achieve revenue break-even in approximately two years.
New subscriber additions and customer attrition have a direct impact on our financial results, including revenue, operating income, and cash flows. A portion of our recurring subscriber base can be expected to cancel its service each year for a variety of reasons, including relocation, cost, loss to competition, or service issues, or we may disconnect service due to non-payment. For example, a 1% change in customer attrition typically has approximately a $40 million impact on recurring revenue on an annualized basis.
As of September 30, 2025, gross customer revenue attrition was 13.0%, as compared to 12.8% in the prior year, driven by higher non-payment and voluntary disconnects partially offset by fewer relocations.
Relocations are sensitive to changes in the residential housing market, and fewer relocations generally lead to improvements in customer attrition, but fewer subscriber additions. Additionally, non-payment disconnects generally increase in a weaker macroeconomic environment. We may experience fluctuations in these or other trends in the future as changes in the general macroeconomic environment or housing market develop.
Revenue and Offerings
The mix, price, offerings, sales and distribution channel, and equipment ownership of transactions impacts our results. For example, our results are impacted by the mix of transactions accounted for 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 discussed in Note 2 “Revenue and Receivables.” Historically, the majority of professional installation transactions occurred under a Company-owned model. However, since the second quarter of 2024, a growing percentage of our direct channel new subscriber adds are outright sales in connection with the national launch of our new ADT+ platform. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we have experienced an increase in both security installation, product, and other revenue and related costs due to the transition to our ADT+ platform, in which the equipment is sold outright to the customer. Currently, approximately 25% of new direct subscribers are outright sales. As we continue to roll out ADT+ to additional subscribers including add-ons, upgrades, and resales, build our partnership with Google, introduce additional Google products into our offerings, launch new or enhance our current offerings, and refine our go-to-market approach, we expect outright sales to continue to be an increasing proportion of our direct channel transactions in future periods, which is expected to result in an increase in security installation, product, and other revenue and cost of revenue recognized in the statements of operations.
Changes in our recurring revenue base, including subscriber count, price escalations, or change in offerings, can also impact our results. As of September 30, 2025, RMR was $362 million, as compared to $359 million in the prior year, driven by an increase in average prices.
Additionally, the mix of professional installation solutions versus self set-up solutions may impact our results in future periods, as professional installation solutions typically have higher contractual fees than our self set-up solutions as a result of differences in pricing, offer tactics, and level of products and services. We currently expect that the majority of our sales will continue to be professional installation solutions.
Other Costs
We may also experience an increase in other costs associated with factors such as (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 or other impacts such as tariffs or trade restrictions; (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.
Macroeconomic and Other Trends and Uncertainties
We are currently monitoring, and will continue to monitor, macroeconomic trends and uncertainties such as key components of inflation, the status and effects of recently implemented or threatened tariffs and other trade restrictions, as well as potential changes to these tariffs or the imposition of reciprocal or other tariffs or trade restrictions by other countries. Any of these may have negative consequences for our supply chain due to price increases from our vendors or suppliers. At this time, we do not anticipate material negative impacts that cannot be mitigated through arrangements with our vendors and suppliers, price increases to our customers, or other actions but there is no guarantee that we will be able to successfully mitigate the negative effects of any such macroeconomic trends and uncertainties. We are also unable at this time to determine any future negative impacts from reduced consumer spending as a result of inflationary or other pressures or uncertainty that may result from the imposition of current or future tariffs or other trade restrictions.
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 cost-saving opportunities, as well as price increases to our customers.
In addition, hurricanes, wildfires, and other natural disasters impacting certain areas in which we operate may result in service, sales, and installation disruptions to certain of our customers. As such, we evaluate the financial and business impacts these events have or may have in the future. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we did not experience any material losses related to natural disasters.
Other Tax Matters
As a result of Apollo selling shares of our Common Stock (as discussed in Note 14 “Related Party Transactions”) and our share repurchase program, an ownership change (as defined under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code) occurred during the second quarter of 2025. Generally, an ownership change occurs when the aggregate ownership of certain shareholders shifts, for federal income tax purposes, by more than 50 percentage points in total over a rolling three-year period. An ownership change imposes annual limitations on a corporation’s ability to utilize its tax attributes to offset future U.S. taxable income. Our tax attributes that are subject to the limitations primarily consist of disallowed interest carryforwards. However, the limitation as a result of the ownership change significantly exceeded the value of these attributes. As such, we currently do not expect a material impact to our results from this ownership change.
On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was signed into law, which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, some of which we expect may be favorable in 2025 to cash taxes. We are currently evaluating the impact of the OBBBA on future periods.

* Not applicable.
Revenue
The three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year periods, primarily reflects:
•Monitoring and related services revenue (“M&S Revenue”): higher recurring revenue of $15 million and $47 million, respectively, primarily driven by an increase in average prices of $27 million and $85 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in volume of $9 million and $33 million, respectively.
•Security installation, product, and other revenue: higher installation revenue of $32 million and $141 million, respectively, primarily driven by a higher mix of professionally installed systems under the outright sales model at higher average prices in connection with the transition to our ADT+ platform.
Cost of Revenue
The three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year periods, primarily reflects:
•Monitoring and related services costs (“M&S Costs”): an increase in M&S Costs of $7 million and $21 million, respectively, primarily due to higher interactive fees.
•Security installation, product, and other costs: an increase in installation and product costs of $22 million and $107 million, respectively, primarily due to a higher mix of professionally installed outright sales transactions.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
The three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflects:
•goodwill impairment of $12 million associated with the Multifamily Divestiture,
•an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $9 million primarily as a result of an increase in outright sales revenue and customer delinquencies, and
•an increase in the amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition costs of $8 million partially offset by
•a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $14 million primarily as a result of cost savings initiatives.
The nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflects:
•a decrease in general and administrative costs of $55 million primarily as a result of $20 million related to a legal settlement in the prior year, as well as cost savings initiatives, partially offset by
•an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $25 million primarily as a result of an increase in outright sales revenue and customer delinquencies and
•an increase in the amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition costs of $21 million.
Depreciation and Intangible Asset Amortization
The three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year periods, primarily reflects an increase in the amortization of acquired customer contracts of $9 million and $18 million, respectively.
Interest Expense, Net
The three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflects unrealized losses on our interest rate swaps of $11 million in the current year as compared to $58 million in the prior year.
The nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year period, primarily reflects a decrease in interest rates on our long-term debt.
Other Income (Expense)
The three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year periods, primarily reflects lower Commercial TSA income of $14 million and $35 million, respectively.
Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $55 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 27.7%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory rate of 21.0%, a state tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 5.2%, and an unfavorable impact from a non-deductible goodwill impairment charge of 1.5%.
The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $50 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 27.6%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% and a state tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 6.2%.
The Company’s income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $165 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 26.6%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory rate of 21.0%, and a state tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 5.2%.
The Company’s income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $167 million, resulting in an effective tax rate for the period of 28.3%. The effective tax rate primarily represents the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0%, a state tax rate, net of federal benefits, of 5.8%, and an unfavorable impact from dispositions of 1.6%.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
To provide investors with additional information in connection with our results as determined in accordance with GAAP, we disclose the following non-GAAP measures. These measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as a substitute for net income, income (loss) from continuing operations, operating income, or their respective per share amounts as applicable, or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Adjusted EPS
We define Adjusted EPS as diluted income (loss) from continuing operations per share adjusted for the per share amounts related to (i) share-based compensation expense; (ii) merger, restructuring, integration, and other items; (iii) impairment charges; (iv) unrealized (gains) or losses on interest rate swaps; (v) other non-cash or non-routine adjustments not necessary to operate our business; and (vi) the impact these items have on taxes.
The diluted weighted average shares outstanding used in Adjusted EPS is equal to diluted weighted average shares outstanding of Common Stock calculated in accordance with GAAP.
We believe Adjusted EPS is a benchmark used by analysts and investors in our industry to compare our performance against the performance of other companies, although this measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. We believe the presentation of Adjusted EPS is useful to investors as it provides additional information about how our management evaluates the business. Beginning in 2025, management and the Board also use Adjusted EPS to evaluate the performance of employees (including members of management) and the Company as a whole, as well as to allocate resources.
There are material limitations to using Adjusted EPS as it does not include certain significant items, including the adjustments discussed above, which directly affect our diluted income (loss) from continuing operations per share (the most comparable GAAP measure). These limitations are best addressed by considering the economic effects of the excluded items independently and by considering Adjusted EPS in conjunction with diluted income (loss) from continuing operations per share as calculated in accordance with GAAP.
The table below reconciles Adjusted EPS to diluted income (loss) from continuing operations per share of Common Stock:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

________________(1) Represents a goodwill impairment charge associated with the Multifamily Divestiture. Refer to Note 5 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”
(2) Represents unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps presented in interest expense, net and other income (expense).
(3) Represents the tax impact on adjustments using the federal and state blended statutory rate.
(4) Amounts may not sum in this table due to rounding.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the increase in Adjusted EPS, as compared to the prior year periods, was primarily due to (i) increases of approximately $0.02 and $0.07 per share, respectively, due to increases in revenue, net of the related costs including the allowance for credit losses, (ii) increases of approximately $0.02 and $0.06 per share, respectively, due to lower general and administrative costs, and (iii) increases of approximately $0.02 and $0.05 per share, respectively, due to a decrease in our diluted weighted average shares outstanding as a result of share repurchases. This was partially offset by decreases of approximately $0.02 and $0.05 per share, respectively, of other income (expense) primarily due to lower Commercial TSA income.
The factors listed above exclude amounts that are outside of our definition of Adjusted EPS. Refer to the discussions above under “—Results of Operations” for further details.
Adjusted EBITDA
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) other non-cash or non-routine adjustments not necessary to operate our business.
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, although this measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.
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:

(3) During 2025, primarily includes one-time costs associated with debt transactions.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the increase in Adjusted EBITDA, as compared to the prior year periods, was primarily due to: •a decrease in general and administrative costs of $22 million and $57 million, respectively,
•higher M&S Revenue, net of the associated costs, of approximately $13 million and $42 million, respectively, and
•higher installation revenue, net of the associated costs and commissions, of approximately $10 million and $38 million, respectively, partially offset by
•a decrease in Commercial TSA income of $14 million and $35 million, respectively, and
•an increase in the allowance for credit losses of $9 million and $25 million, respectively.
The factors listed above exclude amounts that are outside of our definition of Adjusted EBITDA. Refer to the discussions above under “—Results of Operations” for further details.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity and capital resources primarily consisted of the following:
| | | | | |
| (in thousands) | September 30, 2025 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 62,806 | |
| Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents | $ | 108,228 | |
| Availability under First Lien Revolving Credit Facility | $ | 800,000 | |
| |
Uncommitted available borrowing capacity under 2020 Receivables Facility | $ | 108,910 | |
| |
Carrying amount of total debt outstanding, including finance leases | $ | 7,805,833 | |
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, income tax payments, capital expenditures, expected dividend payments to our stockholders, potential share repurchases, and other business initiatives as they arise.
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 repurchase and retire 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 2024 Annual Report, except as discussed below.
Debt Principal
As of September 30, 2025, our next debt maturity will occur in April 2026 with respect to the remaining outstanding balance of our First Lien Notes due 2026. We intend, and believe that we will have the ability through use of our ongoing sources of liquidity, to redeem these notes before or at maturity.
Share Repurchase Plans
In January 2024, our Board of Directors announced the 2024 Share Repurchase Plan, pursuant to which we were authorized to repurchase, through January 29, 2025, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $350 million of shares of our Common Stock.
We entered into an agreement in December 2024 to repurchase 15 million shares of Common Stock from a non-affiliate individual at a price per share of $6.95 for a total of $104 million under the 2024 Share Repurchase Plan. The transaction settled in January 2025, and we retired the shares. The 2024 Share Repurchase Plan expired in January 2025 with $5 million in authorized repurchases remaining.
In February 2025, our Board of Directors announced the 2025 Share Repurchase Plan, pursuant to which we were authorized to repurchase, through April 30, 2026, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $500 million of shares of our Common Stock.
The 2025 Share Repurchase Plan allowed us to purchase Common Stock, from time to time, in one or more open market or privately negotiated transactions, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 or Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act, or pursuant to one or more accelerated share repurchase agreements, subject to certain requirements and other factors. We were not obligated to repurchase any of our shares of Common Stock, and the timing and amount of any repurchases depended 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.
In March 2025, we repurchased, and subsequently retired, 20 million shares of our Common Stock under the 2025 Share Repurchase Plan and paid approximately $152 million (or $7.62 per share) in connection with a secondary offering of our Common Stock by Apollo.
Additionally, in March 2025, we repurchased, and subsequently retired, an additional 18 million shares of our Common Stock in the open market pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act under the 2025 Share Repurchase Plan in multiple transactions for a total of $140 million (or $7.79 per share).
Throughout the second quarter of 2025, we repurchased, and subsequently retired, 12 million shares of our Common Stock in the open market pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act under the 2025 Share Repurchase Plan in multiple transactions for a total of $96 million (or $8.14 per share).
In July 2025, we repurchased, and subsequently retired, 11 million shares of our Common Stock under the 2025 Share Repurchase Plan for $93 million (or $8.31 per share) in connection with a secondary offering of the Company’s Common Stock by Apollo. Additionally, we repurchased, and subsequently retired, 2 million shares of our Common Stock in the open market pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act under the 2025 Share Repurchase Plan in multiple transactions for a total of $19 million (or $8.45 per share).
As of September 30, 2025, there were no authorized amounts remaining under the 2025 Share Repurchase Plan.
Other Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2025, we continue to work to meet our commitment of $200 million of aggregate purchases under the Google Cloud Agreement Addendum.
In addition, we are party to an agreement with one of our vendors to purchase at least $370 million of security system equipment and components through December 2025. As of December 31, 2024, the remaining amount under this commitment was $172 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, purchases toward this commitment were $140 million.
Refer to Note 12 “Commitments and Contingencies.”
Cash Taxes
While we have historically made cash tax payments to certain states, starting in the second quarter of 2025, we began making federal cash tax payments. The specific payment amounts may fluctuate each quarter based on our financial results and tax positions taken.
Dividends
On November 4, 2025, we announced a dividend of $0.055 per share to holders of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of record on December 11, 2025, which will be paid on January 8, 2026.
State Farm Opportunity Fund
On October 24, 2025, we repaid to State Farm substantially all of the balance of the Opportunity Fund held by us, which was classified as restricted cash as of September 30, 2025.
Long-Term Debt
Significant changes and activity related to our long-term debt since our 2024 Annual Report are discussed below. Refer to Note 6 “Debt” for additional information.
First Lien Credit Agreement
In March 2025, we amended and restated the First Lien Credit Agreement and issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032, and received net proceeds of $597 million. The First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032 requires scheduled quarterly amortization payments, commencing on June 30, 2025, equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032, with the remaining balance payable at maturity.
In July 2025, we further amended and restated the First Lien Credit Agreement, which provided for the issuance of $550 million of incremental borrowings under the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032, and received net proceeds of $545 million. Additionally, we used net proceeds and cash on hand to redeem $550 million of the First Lien Notes due 2026.
Debt issuance costs were not material during the period.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we borrowed and repaid $198 million under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility. We had no amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2025.
In October 2025, we amended and restated the First Lien Credit Agreement, which provided for the issuance of $300 million of incremental borrowings under the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032. We used the proceeds to partially redeem the Second Lien Notes due 2028. Also in October 2025, we partially redeemed $200 million of the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 with proceeds from the Term Loan A due 2030.
Term Loan A due 2030 Issuance
In October 2025, we entered into a term loan credit agreement for an aggregate principal amount of $325 million of the Term Loan A due 2030. We used a portion of the proceeds to redeem $200 million of the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 and intend to use the remaining proceeds for additional debt redemption.
First Lien Notes due 2033 Issuance
In October 2025, we issued $1 billion aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Notes due 2033. The Company used the net proceeds to redeem the majority of the Second Lien Notes due 2028.
First Lien Notes due 2026 Partial Redemptions
In March 2025, we redeemed $500 million of the First Lien Notes due 2026, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, for a total redemption price of $506 million, including a make-whole payment, using proceeds from the Company’s First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032.
In July 2025 we redeemed $550 million of the First Lien Notes due 2026, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, for a total redemption price of $554 million, including a make-whole payment, using proceeds from the Company’s issuance of the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032 and cash on hand.
Loss on extinguishment of debt was not material.
We intend, and believe that we will have the ability through use of our ongoing sources of liquidity, or through refinancing, to redeem the remaining outstanding balance of these notes before maturity.
Second Lien Notes due 2028 Redemption
In October 2025, we redeemed the Second Lien Notes due 2028, using proceeds from the First Lien Notes due 2033, incremental borrowings under the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032, and cash on hand.
2020 Receivables Facility
In March 2025, we amended the agreement governing the 2020 Receivables Facility to extend the uncommitted revolving period to March 2026, reduce the interest rate on outstanding borrowings, and increase the advance rate on pledged collateral.
As of September 30, 2025, the outstanding balance was $441 million.
Debt Covenants
As of September 30, 2025, 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.
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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| (in thousands) | 2025 | | 2024 | | $ Change |
| Net cash provided by (used in): | | | | | |
| Operating activities | $ | 1,510,585 | | | $ | 1,425,223 | | | $ | 85,362 | |
| Investing activities | $ | (920,985) | | | $ | (1,034,364) | | | $ | 113,379 | |
| Financing activities | $ | (622,631) | | | $ | (316,060) | | | $ | (306,571) | |
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
The increase in net cash provided by operating activities, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to improved operating performance, 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, lower interest payments, and the benefit of lower outflows in the current year related to our former Solar Business, partially offset by an increase in cash tax payments and a higher proportion of outright sales transactions. Refer to the discussions above under “—Results of Operations” for further details.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
The majority of the decrease in net cash used in investing activities, as compared to the prior year period, was due to a decrease in subscriber system assets expenditures of $99 million primarily due to a higher proportion of outright sales in the current year.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
The increase in net cash used in financing activities, as compared to the prior period, was primarily due to:
•higher share repurchases of $513 million, partially offset by
•net borrowings on long-term debt of $62 million during the current period primarily due to the issuance of the First Lien Term Loan B-2 due 2032, partially offset by the partial redemptions of the First Lien Notes due 2026, as compared to net repayments of $117 million during the prior period primarily due to the repayment of the First Lien Notes due 2024, and
•an increase in net borrowings on our 2020 Receivables Facility of $46 million due to timing of proceeds and the amendment in March 2025.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
We disclosed our critical accounting estimates in our 2024 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 have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report.

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 2024 Annual Report, other than as described below.
A larger portion of our debt is subject to variable interest rates as of September 30, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, the principal balance of our debt, excluding finance leases, that was subject to a variable-rate was approximately less than 1% (including the impact of interest rate swaps) and approximately 45% (excluding the impact of interest rate swaps) of the total carrying amount of our debt.
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 September 30, 2025, 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 September 30, 2025, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (“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 ICFR.
During 2023, we began a multi-year IT transformation project by which we are migrating much of ADT’s infrastructure to the cloud, including certain aspects of our customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning systems. We began the transition of our customer relationship management system in 2023, and during 2024, we began the transition to the new enterprise resource planning system, which will be completed in phases over multiple years.
