Business Highlights

Foundation For Growth

• Strength from core business – ADT’s Consumer and Small Business (CSB) segment, its core smart home security business, posted revenue growth of 6% with 14% improvement in Adjusted EBITDA, and margin expansion over the prior year period.
• Continued growth of RMR –The end of quarter RMR balance was $369 million, representing a 5% increase over the prior year period. Approximately 80% of total CSB and Commercial revenue was generated from this durable recurring revenue.
• Record customer retention – With strong customer satisfaction, trailing twelve-month gross customer revenue attrition was 12.7% at the end the second quarter. This performance reflects a sequential improvement and a 60 basis point improvement versus the prior year period.
• Continued expansion of Solar – ADT Solar expanded into Colorado and Maryland and now provides solar offerings in 23 states. Additionally, approximately 15% of new solar sales in the second quarter of 2022 were generated from the ADT ecosystem, demonstrating our progress with cross-selling.

Innovative Offerings

• Enhanced Google offerings – As part of ADT’s partnership with Google, the Company now nationally sells, installs, and services a full suite of Google Nest products, including doorbells, cameras, and thermostats. During the second quarter of 2022, the attachment rate for the Google doorbell was 48%, helping drive a 23% increase in residential installation revenue per unit in the quarter.
• Multi-location app for small businesses – In June 2022, ADT rolled out multi-location app functionality to help small business owners better manage their businesses. The app provides customers with the ability to manage and monitor their ADT smart security systems from the palm of their hand, enhancing the customer experience.
• Next generation of smart apartments – In June 2022, ADT acquired IOTAS, a smart home apartment company. The ADT brand, paired with IOTAS’ innovative platform, furthers ADT’s commitment to becoming the top choice in the fast-growing multifamily security and automation space.

Unrivaled Safety

• Recognition for ADT’s SMART monitoring solutions – ADT was awarded the 2022 Police Dispatch Quality Award in recognition of the Company’s ongoing efforts to reduce false alarm dispatches. ADT’s patented SMART (System Monitoring and Response Technology) monitoring helps prioritize responses, enhance response policies, and send data to emergency response centers directly.
• Expanding Commercial's geographic footprint – In May 2022, ADT Commercial acquired Key-Rite Security, a Denver-based security provider specializing in access control, surveillance, intrusion, and intercom systems. The acquisition expands ADT Commercial’s service coverage and offerings across Colorado and provides a foundation to extend its reach in the region.

Premium Experience

The program is generating high customer satisfaction at a lower cost to the Company. Over 230,000 virtual appointments were executed in the quarter, lowering the Company’s carbon footprint by eliminating thousands of vehicle trips each day.
