Guidance and outlook

Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 3, 2026

• The Merger is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027 and is conditioned on the approval by our stockholders of a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement, as well as the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions, including the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976.
• If the Merger is consummated, we will become a privately held company, and our Common Stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.
• 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.
• In early 2026, the Company refined its go-to-market approach for certain non-ADT+ residential transactions and transitioned such transactions to an outright sales model where equipment will be customer owned, which aligns with the equipment ownership model for ADT+ transactions.
• Accordingly, we expect this to continue to result in an increase in security installation, product, and other revenue and cost of revenue recognized in the statements of operations in subsequent periods.
• Although the DIY market typically has lower monthly recurring fees than our professional installations, we believe this approach will allow us to grow our subscriber base.
• We are currently monitoring, and will continue to monitor, macroeconomic trends and uncertainties such as the ongoing global memory chip shortage, potential supply chain disruptions and fuel shortages stemming from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, key components of inflation, the status and effects of recently implemented or threatened tariffs and other trade restrictions, as well as potential changes to…
• 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.
• This technology is expected to enhance our ability to improve alarm verification, reduce false alarms, and support new intelligent security and smart home use cases over time.
• 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.
• 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.
