    Business Highlights

    Foundation for Growth

    • Durable RMR balance – End-of-period RMR balance was up 1% to $362 million, or $4.3 billion on an annualized basis.
    • Solid customer retention and revenue payback – Trailing 12-month gross customer revenue attrition was 13.0% with revenue payback at 2.3 years.
    • Strategic bulk account purchase – The Company closed on a bulk purchase of approximately 15,000 customer accounts for $24 million cash with attractive projected returns.

    Unlocking Shareholder Value

    • Share repurchases – During the third quarter, the Company repurchased and retired 13 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate price of $112 million. As of Sept. 30, 2025, the Company has repurchased 78 million shares this year.

    Innovative Offerings, Unrivaled Safety and Premium Experience

    • Alarm Range Extender launch – Launched the new ADT+ Alarm Range Extender, further enhancing the ADT+ platform's capabilities, performance, and dependability.

    Total revenue for the third quarter was $1,298 million, up 4%. Monitoring and related services (M&S) revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in average prices, partially offset by a decrease in volume. Security installation, product, and other revenue increased primarily due to a higher mix of outright sales at higher average prices driven by the transition to the ADT+ platform.

    Income from continuing operations for the third quarter was $144 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, up $11 million. Continued growth in revenues and associated margins contributed to this increase. Adjusted income from continuing operations was $187 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, up $4 million.

    Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

    Net cash provided by operating activities during the third quarter was $480 million, down $18 million, primarily driven by higher cash tax disbursements and timing of payments and receipts, partially offset by lower cash interest payments. Adjusted Free Cash Flow (including interest rate swaps) was $208 million, up $50 million, primarily driven by lower subscriber acquisition spending.

    Total cash and cash equivalents as of Sept. 30, 2025 were $63 million and no amounts were outstanding under the Company's First Lien Revolving Credit Facility.

    In July, the Company amended and restated the First Lien Credit Agreement to issue $550 million of incremental borrowings under the First Lien Term Loan due 2032, and redeemed $550 million of the First Lien Notes due 2026.

    In October, the Company issued $1 billion of 5.875% first-priority senior secured notes due 2033 and $300M of incremental borrowing under the First Lien Term Loan due 2032, and fully redeemed the $1.3 billion Second Lien Notes due 2028. The Company also entered into a $325 million term loan credit agreement under a new Term Loan A Facility due 2030 and used $200 million of the proceeds to partially repay First Lien Term Loan due 2030. The Company intends to use the remaining proceeds for additional debt redemption.

    Capital returns to shareholders during the third quarter totaled $157 million, which included $112 million to repurchase 13 million shares in multiple transactions, and $46 million of dividends. Year to date, the Company has returned $746 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

    2025 Financial Outlook

    Based on performance through the end of the third quarter, the Company is updating its 2025 guidance.

    (in millions, except per share data) Prior GuidanceUpdated Guidance
    Total Revenue $5,025 - $5,225$5,075 - $5,175
    Adjusted EBITDA $2,650 - $2,750$2,665 - $2,715

    The Company is not providing forward-looking guidance for U.S. GAAP financial measures other than Total Revenue or a quantitative reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure for its non-GAAP financial guidance shown above because the GAAP measures cannot be reliably estimated and the reconciliations cannot be performed without unreasonable effort due to their dependence on future uncertainties and adjusting items that the Company cannot reasonably predict at this time but which may be material. Please see "Non-GAAP Measures" for additional information.



    Dividend Declaration

    Effective Nov. 4, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.055 per share to holders of the Company's common stock and Class B common stock of record as of Dec. 11, 2025. This dividend will be paid on Jan. 8, 2026.

    _____________________

    (1)All variances are year-over-year unless otherwise noted. The Company may sometimes present various non-GAAP and other operating measures. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow (including interest rate swaps), Adjusted Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Income (Loss) per share (or, Adjusted EPS), Net Debt, and Net Leverage Ratio are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the "Non-GAAP Measures" section for the definitions of the terms and reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures for those measures included herein. 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. Results of the former commercial and solar businesses are presented as discontinued operations. Except for cash flow measures, and unless otherwise noted, amounts herein reflect the results of the Company's continuing operations only.
    (2)Amounts may not sum due to rounding.

    ADT INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

    NON-GAAP MEASURES

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

    The following information includes definitions of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures used in this release, reasons management believes these measures are useful to investors regarding the Company's financial condition and results of operations, additional purposes, if any, for which 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 the Company's financial guidance for 2025, the Company is not providing a quantitative reconciliation for forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations, Adjusted EPS to GAAP diluted income (loss) per share from continuing operations, or Adjusted Free Cash Flow (including interest rate swaps) to GAAP net cash provided by operating activities, which are the most directly comparable respective GAAP measures. These GAAP measures cannot be reliably predicted or estimated without unreasonable effort due to their dependence on future uncertainties, such as the adjustment of items used in the following reconciliations. Additionally, information not currently available to the Company about other adjusting items could have a potentially unpredictable and potentially significant impact on future GAAP financial results.

    Unless otherwise noted, non-GAAP measures herein reflect the results of the Company's continuing operations. Through the second quarter of 2024, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow (including interest rate swaps) reflect the results of both continuing and discontinued operations. Beginning in the third quarter of 2024, all remaining cash flows attributable to activities of the solar business have been excluded from these measures as the business was substantially wound down.

    Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow including interest rate swaps

    The Company defines Free Cash Flow as cash flows from operating activities less cash outlays related to capital expenditures. The Company defines capital expenditures to include accounts purchased through the Company's network of authorized dealers or third parties outside of the Company's 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.

    The Company defines Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Free Cash Flow adjusted for net cash flows related to (i) net proceeds or payments from the Company's consumer receivables facility; (ii) restructuring and integration payments; (iii) integration-related capital expenditures; and (iv) transaction costs and other payments or receipts that may mask operating results or business trends. Adjusted Free Cash Flow including interest rate swaps reflects Adjusted Free Cash Flow plus net cash settlements on interest rate swaps presented outside of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.

    The Company believes the presentations of these non-GAAP measures are appropriate to provide investors with useful information about the Company's ability to repay debt, pay dividends, repurchase shares, and make other investments. The Company believes the presentation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow is also a useful measure of the cash flow attributable to normal business activities, inclusive of the net cash flows associated with the acquisition of subscribers, as well as the Company's ability to repay debt, pay dividends, repurchase shares, and make other investments. Further, Adjusted Free Cash Flow including interest rate swaps is a useful measure of Adjusted Free Cash Flow inclusive of all cash interest.

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

    The non-GAAP measures in the table below include cash flows associated with both continuing and discontinued operations, as applicable during the periods presented, consistent with the GAAP presentation on the Statement of Cash Flows.

    _______________________

    (1) During 2024, primarily includes costs related to the ADT Solar Exit.

    (2) For the periods presented, primarily includes net outflows related to the former Solar business as well as third party costs associated with implementation of a new ERP system that the Company will not continue to incur once the ERP system is fully implemented.

    (3) Includes net settlements related to interest rate swaps presented outside of net cash provided by (used in) operating activities.

    Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations ("Adjusted EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA Margin from Continuing Operations ("Adjusted EBITDA Margin")

    The Company defines 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.

    The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to measure the operational strength and performance of its business. The Company believes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful as it provides investors additional information about operating profitability adjusted for certain non-cash items, non-routine items the Company does not expect to continue at the same level in the future, as well as other items not core to its operations. Further, the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA provides a meaningful measure of operating profitability because the Company uses it for evaluating business performance, making budgeting decisions, and comparing company performance against other peer companies using similar measures.

    There are material limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA as it does not include certain significant items which directly affect income (loss) from continuing operations (the most comparable GAAP measure).

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

    (1)   Represents a goodwill impairment charge associated with the Multifamily Divestiture.

    (2)   Includes the unrealized gain or loss on interest rate swaps presented in other income (expense).

    (3)   During 2025, primarily includes one-time costs associated with debt transactions.

    Adjusted Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations ("Adjusted Income (Loss)") and Adjusted Diluted Income (Loss) per Share from Continuing Operations ("Adjusted Diluted Income (Loss) per Share" or "Adjusted EPS")

    The Company defines Adjusted Income (Loss) as income (loss) from continuing operations adjusted for (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 Company defines 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.

    Adjusted EPS equals Adjusted Income (Loss) divided by diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of common stock as calculated in accordance with GAAP. When the control number for the GAAP calculation is negative, 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.

    The Company believes Adjusted Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS are benchmarks used by analysts and investors who follow the industry for comparison of our performance with other companies in the industry, although these measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. The Company believes 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 these measures, as they do not reflect certain significant items which directly affect income (loss) from continuing operations and related per share amounts (the most comparable GAAP measures).

    (1) Represents a goodwill impairment charge associated with the Multifamily Divestiture.

    (2) Primarily includes 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) Refer to the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K for further discussion regarding the computation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of Common Stock.

    Leverage Ratios

    Net Leverage Ratio is calculated as the ratio of net debt to last twelve months ("LTM") Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations. 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) from continuing operations, which is the most comparable GAAP measure. The Company believes 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.
