Costs and Expenses
Operating expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 increased by $4.4 million to $94.4 million as compared to $90.0 million in the same period in 2018. This increase was primarily due to an increase in facility and rent expense of $2.2 million, an increase of $2.1 million in third-party contract costs, an increase in information technology costs of $1.5 million and an increase in inventory-related expenses of $1.4 million. These increases were offset by a decrease of $1.9 million of operating expenses from the wireless internet business, which wasspun-off in July 2019.
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 increased $13.5 million as compared to the same period in 2018. This was primarily due to an increase of $7.4 million in personnel and related costs; facility and rent expense of $5.5 million; information technology expenses of $4.2 million; contracted services of $3.2 million; and $2.6 million in payment processing and bank fees. These increases were offset by decreases of $5.5 million in costs associated with our retail and other sales pilots as well as a decrease of $2.8 million in operating expenses from the wireless internet business.
Net Service Cost per Subscriber was $13.73 for the year ended December 31, 2019, which contributed to a net service margin of 73.8%, as compared to $16.27 for the same period in 2018.
Selling expenses, net of capitalized contract costs, for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $3.0 million to $43.5 million as compared to $46.5 million for the same period in 2018. This decrease is primarily attributable to decreases in housing and related costs of $4.3 million and a decrease of $1.3 million in personnel and related costs. These decreases were offset by an increase in marketing costs of $1.6 million primarily associated with lead generation and costs associated with our retail and other sales pilots of $1.4 million.
Selling expenses, excluding capitalized contract costs, decreased $20.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to decreases of $12.8 million in personnel and related costs; expenses associated with our retail and other sales pilots of $9.5 million; and housing and related costs of $6.9 million.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses, net of allocations, for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $4.3 million to $50.6 million as compared to $54.9 million for the same period in 2018. This is primarily due to decreases of $4.2 million in G&A expenses from the wireless internet business, personnel and related costs of $3.1 million and information technology related costs of $1.9 million. These decreases were partially offset by increases in bad debt expenses of $3.0 million and third-party contract costs of $2.3 million primarily associated with professional services.
G&A expenses, net of allocations, decreased $17.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to decreases of $10.0 million in G&A expenses from the wireless internet business, personnel and related costs of $6.3 million, information technology costs of $3.5 million, third-party contract costs of $2.3 million primarily associated with professional services, and research and development costs of $1.9 million.

Financial Outlook
“We believe that several fundamental characteristics of the Vivint Smart Home financial model are compelling. More than 95% of revenue is recurring, which provides long-term visibility and predictability to our business. The majority of new subscribers enter into five-year contracts and remain on the platform for approximately eight years, driving significant lifetime margin dollars,” said Dale R. Gerard, CFO of Vivint Smart Home. “We expect to end 2020 with approximately 1.62 to 1.66 million subscribers. Our estimate for 2020 revenue is $1.25 to $1.29 billion. Meanwhile, our strong unit economics and scale has contributed to our ability to drive significant adjusted EBITDA margin improvement. We are projecting 2020 adjusted EBITDA of between $525 and $535 million.”
Liquidity
As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s liquidity position on a consolidated basis, defined as cash on hand, short-term marketable securities and available borrowing capacity under the Company’s revolving credit facility, was approximately $36.7 million.

Statement RegardingNon-GAAP Financial Measures
This earnings release includes Covenant Adjusted EBITDA, which is a supplemental measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
“Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization,non-cash compensation, MDR fees, and certain othernon-recurring expenses or gains. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of the operating performance of companies in industries similar to Vivint’s.
“Covenant Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense (net of interest income), income and franchise taxes and depreciation and amortization (including amortization of capitalized subscriber acquisition costs), further adjusted to exclude the effects of certain contract sales to third parties,non-capitalized subscriber acquisition costs, stock based compensation and certain unusual,non-cash,non-recurring and other items permitted in certain covenant calculations under the agreements governing our notes, the credit agreement governing our term loan and the credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility.
We believe that the presentation of Covenant Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about the calculation of, and compliance with, certain financial covenants contained in the agreements governing the notes, and the credit agreements governing the revolving credit facility and the term loan. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Covenant Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because not all issuers and analysts calculate Covenant Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.
Covenant Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
Under the credit agreements governing the Company’s revolving credit facility and term loan and the debt agreements governing the Company’s notes, the ability of APX Group and its restricted subsidiaries to engage in activities such as incurring additional indebtedness, making investments, refinancing certain indebtedness, paying dividends and entering into certain merger transactions is governed, in part, by their ability to satisfy tests based on Covenant Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable four-quarter period. Such tests include an incurrence-based maximum consolidated secured debt ratio and consolidated total debt ratio of 4.00 to 1.0, an incurrence-based minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.00 to 1.0, and, solely in the case of the credit agreement governing the Company’s revolving credit facility, a maintenance-based maximum consolidated first lien secured debt ratio of 5.35 to 1.0, each as determined in accordance with the credit agreements governing the Company’s revolving credit facility and term loan and the debt agreements governing the Company’s notes.Non-compliance with these covenants could restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to undertake certain activities or result in a default under the credit agreements governing the Company’s revolving credit facility and term loan and the debt agreements governing the Company’s notes.
See the following tables for quantitative reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Covenant Adjusted EBITDA for historical periods to Net Loss, which we believe is the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Loss is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability, complexity and uncertainty with respect to forecasting and quantifying
certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including Net Loss and adjustments that could be made for impairment charges, restructuring charges and the timing and magnitude of other amounts included in the reconciliation. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could have a potentially unpredictable, and potentially significant, impact on our future GAAP financial results.
