Business Highlights

Innovative Offerings, Unrivaled Safety and Premium Experience: The Company is undertaking focused initiatives to drive growth, increase brand loyalty, and increase customer acquisition efficiency while delivering on its core mission. Recent progress on these initiatives is described below.

• Redefining smart security – In 2025, ADT continued the rollout of its proprietary ADT+ platform, integrating professional monitoring with Google Nest and Yale devices and introducing new capabilities such as Trusted Neighbor.
• AI sensing and ambient intelligence for the home – In February 2026, ADT acquired Origin AI, adding revolutionary and proprietary ambient sensing capabilities to enable new privacy-preserving security and smart home use cases. Concurrent with the acquisition, ADT established a long-term technology licensing agreement with Verisure, the leading European smart home security provider.
• Expanded safety features – In February 2026, ADT launched My Safety and Live Light. Integrated into the ADT+ app, My Safety supports customers wherever they go, while Live Light is an illuminated yard sign that responds to ADT+ system and alarm activity to help first responders quickly identify the correct home in an emergency.
• Operational efficiency and service excellence – ADT’s Remote Assistance program handled approximately 50% of service requests virtually, reducing costs and vehicle trips, while AI-powered virtual agents improved efficiency across chat and voice interactions. The Company also further reduced false alarm dispatches and delivered an industry-leading average alarm acknowledgment time of less than 10 seconds.
• Award-winning innovation – ADT’s Trusted Neighbor feature was named Home Security Innovation of the Year at the 2025 IoT Breakthrough Awards.
• Industry recognition and trusted leadership – ADT earned four Stevie® Awards for Sales and Customer Service, received TMA Five Diamond Certification for its Knoxville and Irving monitoring centers, and was named Most Trusted Home Security System Brand for the seventh consecutive year by Lifestory Research.

Unlocking Shareholder Value: The Company is focused on continuing to generate significant cash flow, enabling it to return capital to its shareholders while maintaining a healthy balance sheet.

• Share repurchases – During 2025, the Company repurchased and retired 78 million shares of its common stock for an aggregate price of $604 million.
• Balance sheet optimization – Throughout 2025, the Company executed a series of attractively priced refinancing transactions to extend maturities and further improve its debt profile, lowering the average cost of debt to 4.3% and extending weighted average maturity to 5 years.
• S&P SmallCap 600® addition – Effective Feb. 9, 2026, ADT was added to the S&P SmallCap 600 index. This important milestone underscores the Company’s strong performance and successful alignment with the index’s rigorous criteria.

Total revenue was $1,276 million for the fourth quarter and $5,129 million for the full year, up 1% and 5%, respectively. Monitoring and related services (M&S) revenue growth was primarily driven by higher average prices, partially offset by a decrease in volume. Security installation, product, and other revenue increased primarily due to a higher mix of professionally installed systems under the outright sales model.

Income from continuing operations was $146 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter, down $51 million, and $601 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, for the full year, down $19 million. Improved installation margins and continued strong M&S margins contributed to this increase for both periods, which was offset by unrealized gains/losses on interest rate swaps and a tax reserve release in the prior year. Adjusted income from continuing operations was $186 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter, up $10 million, and $750 million, or $0.89 per diluted share, for the full year, up $65 million, which benefited from the improved margins described above.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

For the fourth quarter, net cash provided by operating activities was $374 million, down $86 million, driven primarily by higher cash interest and timing of payments and receipts, partially offset by higher operating income. Adjusted Free Cash Flow (including interest rate swaps) was $154 million, down $70 million, driven by higher cash interest and timing of payments and receipts, partially offset by lower subscriber acquisition spend.

For the full year, net cash provided by operating activities was $1,884 million, down $1 million, with higher cash tax payments offset by higher operating income and timing of payments and receipts. Adjusted Free Cash Flow (including interest rate swaps) was $863 million, up $119 million, driven by earnings growth, lower subscriber acquisition spend, and favorable timing of payments and receipts, offset by higher cash tax payments.

Total cash and cash equivalents as of Dec. 31, 2025 were $81 million and no amounts were outstanding under the Company’s First Lien Revolving Credit Facility.

The Company returned $791 million of capital to shareholders during 2025, including dividend payments of $187 million, and $604 million of share repurchases, retiring 78 million repurchased shares.

Financial Outlook ⁽³⁾

The Company refreshed its multi-year financial framework, reflecting objectives to generate compounded annual growth rates of 5% revenue, 10% adjusted earnings per share, and more than 10% adjusted free cash flow (including interest rate swaps), with a target net leverage ratio of 2.5x or below. This framework is supported by the anticipated outcome of growth initiatives and near-term investments in product technology, customer service excellence, and acquisition efficiency, and is intended to serve as a long-term value creation outlook rather than near-term guidance.

For 2026, the Company expects adjusted free cash flow (including interest rate swaps) growth of approximately 20% versus prior year, with revenue and Adjusted EPS approximately flat. This outlook reflects the Company’s recent and continued prioritization of cash flow, share repurchases, and disciplined subscriber acquisition spending. It also incorporates planned 2026 investments in growth initiatives expected to benefit future periods, as well as headwinds from tariffs.

Share Repurchase Plan

On March 2, 2026, the Company announced a three-year share repurchase plan (the “2026 Share Repurchase Plan”), pursuant to which the Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase, through April 30, 2029, up to a maximum aggregate amount of $1.5 billion of shares of the Company’s common stock. The 2026 Share Repurchase Plan allows the Company to purchase shares of the Company’s 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or pursuant to one or more accelerated share repurchase agreements, subject to certain requirements and factors.

The Board of Directors may periodically review the outstanding amount authorized under the 2026 Share Repurchase Plan as part of its capital allocation strategy.

Dividend Declaration

Effective March 2, 2026, 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 March 12, 2026. This dividend will be paid on April 2, 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.
(3	)	The Company is not providing forward-looking guidance or discussing long-range outlook for U.S. GAAP financial measures other than Revenue, nor can the Company provide quantitative reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures for its non-GAAP financial measures 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.

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 2026 and long-range outlook, the Company is not providing quantitative reconciliations for forward-looking 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.

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.

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

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).

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 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.
