Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business and Organization ADT Inc., together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a leading provider of security, interactive, and smart home solutions serving consumer and small business customers in the United States (“U.S.”). As discussed below, on October 2, 2023, the Company divested its Commercial Business (as defined below), which provided security and other solutions to commercial customers; and in January 2024, the Company announced its exit from the residential solar business, which provided residential solar and energy storage solutions since the acquisition of ADT Solar in 2021 (the “ADT Solar Acquisition”). The Company primarily conducts business under the ADT brand name. ADT Inc. was incorporated in the State of Delaware in May 2015 as a holding company with no assets or liabilities. In July 2015, the Company acquired Protection One, Inc. and ASG Intermediate Holding Corp. (collectively, the “Formation Transactions”), which were instrumental in the commencement of the Company’s operations. In May 2016, the Company acquired The ADT Security Corporation (formerly named The ADT Corporation) (“The ADT Corporation”) (the “ADT Acquisition”). The Company is majority-owned by Prime Security Services TopCo (ML), L.P., which is majority-owned by Prime Security Services TopCo Parent, L.P. (“Ultimate Parent”). Ultimate Parent is ultimately majority-owned by Apollo Investment Fund VIII, L.P. and its related funds that are directly or indirectly managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, “Apollo” or the “Sponsor”). In January 2018, the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”) and its common stock, par value of $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ADT.” Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The financial statements included herein comprise the consolidated results of ADT Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The results of companies acquired are included from the effective date of each acquisition; and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company uses the equity method of accounting to account for an investment in which it has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control. This investment was disposed of during 2023. As discussed below under the heading “Commercial Divestiture,” beginning in the third quarter of 2023, the Company presented its Commercial Business as a discontinued operation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. Commercial Divestiture On August 7, 2023, ADT, Iris Buyer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of GTCR LLC (“GTCR”), and, solely for certain purposes set forth in the Commercial Purchase Agreement (as defined below), Fire & Security Holdings, LLC (“F&S Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ADT, entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Commercial Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which GTCR agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of F&S Holdings, which directly or indirectly held all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in the subsidiaries of ADT that operated ADT’s commercial business (the “Commercial Business”) (the “Commercial Divestiture”). On October 2, 2023, the Company completed the Commercial Divestiture for a total purchase price of approximately $1,613 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, and received net proceeds of approximately $1,585 million, excluding transaction costs of $22 million. Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, the Company presented its Commercial Business as a discontinued operation as the Commercial Divestiture met all of the held for sale criteria for the disposal group and represented a strategic shift that has and will continue to have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial statements. The change is reflected in all periods presented. Additionally, the cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) of the Commercial Business have not been segregated and are included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), respectively, for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the Company’s continuing operations. Refer to Note 5 “Divestitures” for additional information. ADT Solar As previously disclosed, in November 2023, the Company announced a plan to streamline the solar business to focus on the top performing markets and rationalize the overhead and infrastructure of the business. As part of this plan, the Company closed a significant number of branches that operated the solar business along with making associated headcount reductions. On January 19, 2024, after a strategic review of the business and continued macroeconomic and industry pressures, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) approved a plan to fully exit the residential solar business, which may include the transition of components of the business to other parties (the “ADT Solar Exit”). The ADT Solar Exit is expected to be completed during 2024. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to select accounting policies and make estimates that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company’s estimates are based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or market conditions. Segments The Company has historically reported results for three operating and reportable segments organized based on customer type: Consumer and Small Business (“CSB”), Commercial, and Solar. As a result of the Commercial Divestiture, results of the Commercial Business are classified as discontinued operations and thus excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Accordingly, the Company reports its results in two operating and reportable segments, CSB and Solar, organized based on customer type, with the change reflected in all periods presented. The Company’s segments are based on the manner in which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), evaluates performance and makes decisions about how to allocate resources. • CSB - The CSB segment primarily includes the sale, installation, servicing, and monitoring of integrated security and automation systems and other related offerings to owners and renters of residential properties, small business operators, and other individual consumers, as well as general corporate costs and other income and expense items not included in another segment. • Solar - The Solar segment primarily includes the sale and installation of solar systems and related solutions and services to residential homeowners who purchase solar and energy storage solutions, energy efficiency upgrades, and roofing services, as well as certain dedicated corporate and other costs. Refer to Note 3 “Segment Information” for additional information on the Company’s segments.

Inventories are presented net of an obsolescence reserve. Work-in-Progress Work-in-progress is primarily comprised of certain costs incurred for installations of security system equipment sold outright to customers that have not been completed as of the balance sheet date. Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment, net, is recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation, which is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation expense is reflected in depreciation and intangible asset amortization. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed when incurred. Useful Lives: Buildings and related improvements Up to 40 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of remaining term of the lease or economic useful life Capitalized software 3 to 10 years Machinery, equipment, and other Up to 10 years Net Carrying Amount: December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Land $ 10,313 $ 12,272 Buildings and leasehold improvements 95,652 94,899 Capitalized software 524,088 504,241 Machinery, equipment, and other 168,343 170,622 Construction in progress 34,302 12,571 Finance leases 142,441 127,226 Accumulated depreciation (691,969) (615,640) Property and equipment, net $ 283,170 $ 306,191 Depreciation Expense: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 2021 Depreciation expense $ 191,904 $ 173,013 $ 165,392 Subscriber System Assets, net and Deferred Subscriber Acquisition Costs, net Subscriber system assets represent capitalized equipment and installation costs incurred in connection with transactions in which the Company retains ownership of the security system and are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Gross carrying amount $ 6,404,479 $ 5,981,008 Accumulated depreciation (3,398,543) (3,062,468) Subscriber system assets, net $ 3,005,936 $ 2,918,540 Deferred subscriber acquisition costs represent selling expenses (primarily commissions) that are incremental to acquiring customers. The Company records subscriber system assets and deferred subscriber acquisition costs in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as these assets represent probable future economic benefits for the Company through the generation of future monitoring and related services revenue. Upon customer termination, the Company may retrieve such assets. Subscriber system assets and any related deferred subscriber acquisition costs are accounted for on a pooled basis based on the month and year of customer acquisition and are depreciated and amortized using an accelerated method over the estimated life of the customer relationship, which is 15 years. In order to align the depreciation and amortization of these pooled costs to the pattern in which their economic benefits are consumed, the accelerated method utilizes an average declining balance rate of approximately 250% and converts to straight-line methodology when the resulting charge is greater than that from the accelerated method, resulting in an average charge of approximately 55% of the pool within the first five years, 25% within the second five years, and 20% within the final five years. Depreciation of subscriber system assets and amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition costs are reflected in depreciation and intangible asset amortization and selling, general, and administrative expenses, respectively, as follows: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 2021 Depreciation of subscriber system assets $ 545,041 $ 531,013 $ 488,557 Amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition costs $ 188,222 $ 154,186 $ 118,162 Long-Lived Assets (excluding Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets) The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be fully recoverable. The Company groups assets at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to its expected future undiscounted cash flows. If the expected future undiscounted cash flows of the asset group are less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value less costs to sell. The calculation of the fair value less costs to sell of an asset group is based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates, reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk. There were no material long-lived asset impairments during the periods presented. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Accrued interest $ 111,204 $ 156,495 Payroll-related accruals 118,495 139,709 Operating lease liabilities (see Note 15 “Leases”) 15,979 20,741 Fair value of interest rate swaps (see Note 9 “Derivative Financial Instruments”) 5,312 — Opportunity Fund (see Note 11 “Equity”) 93,950 100,802 Other accrued liabilities 256,375 358,992 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities $ 601,315 $ 776,739 Advertising Costs Advertising costs are recognized in selling, general, and administrative expenses when incurred and were $165 million, $214 million, and $235 million during 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Included in advertising costs during 2023 are certain joint marketing costs and reimbursements associated with the Google Success Funds as discussed in Note 14 “Commitments and Contingencies.” Radio Conversion Program During 2019, the Company commenced a program to replace the 3G and Code-Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) cellular equipment used in many of its security systems prior to the cellular network providers retiring their 3G and CDMA networks during 2022. The program was completed in 2023, and the Company incurred a total of $276 million of net radio conversion costs since the inception of the program. Radio conversion costs and radio conversion revenue are reflected in selling, general, and administrative expenses and monitoring and related services revenue, respectively, as follows: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 2021 Radio conversion costs $ 1,968 $ 29,766 $ 240,902 Radio conversion revenue $ 6,664 $ 28,058 $ 39,100 Merger, Restructuring, Integration, and Other Merger, restructuring, integration, and other represents certain direct and incremental costs resulting from acquisitions made by the Company, integration and third-party costs as a result of those acquisitions, costs related to the Company’s restructuring efforts, as well as fair value remeasurements and impairment charges on certain strategic investments. Significant activity included in merger, restructuring, integration, and other during the periods presented includes: During 2023, primarily relates to integration and third-party costs related to the strategic optimization of the Solar business operations following the ADT Solar acquisition, as well as restructuring costs. During 2022, merger, restructuring, integration, and other was not material. During 2021, primarily relates to an impairment charge in CSB due to lower than expected benefits from a developed technology intangible asset. Concentration of Credit Risks The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are held at major financial institutions. There is a concentration of credit risk related to certain account balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of $250,000 per account. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions and believes there is no exposure to any significant credit risk for its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. Concentration of credit risk associated with the majority of the Company’s receivables from customers is limited due to the significant size of the customer base. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, accounts receivable, retail installment contract receivables, accounts payable, debt, and derivative financial instruments. Due to their short-term and/or liquid nature, the fair values of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their respective carrying amounts. Cash Equivalents - Included in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, as applicable from time to time, are investments in money market mutual funds. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 fair value measurements, which represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Investments in money market mutual funds were $55 million and $145 million as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. CSB Retail Installment Contract Receivables, net - The fair values of the Company’s retail installment contract receivables are determined using a discounted cash flow model and are classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.

Revenue and Receivables

Revenue and Receivables	12 Months Ended

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue and Receivables	REVENUE AND RECEIVABLES Revenue The Company generates revenue through contractual monthly recurring fees received for monitoring and related services provided to customers, as well as the sale and installation of security and solar systems (referred to as “systems”). Revenue is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations net of sales and other taxes. Amounts collected from customers for sales and other taxes are reported as a liability net of the related amounts remitted. When customers terminate a monitoring contract early, contract termination charges are assessed in accordance with the contract terms and are recognized in monitoring and related services revenue when collectability is probable. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling price, which is determined using observable internal and external pricing, profitability, and operational metrics. For CSB, the Company’s performance obligations generally include monitoring, related services (such as maintenance agreements), and the sale and installation of a security system in outright sales transactions or a material right in transactions in which the Company retains ownership of the security system. For Solar, the Company’s performance obligations generally include the sale and installation of a solar system and may include additional performance obligations such as roofing services or the sale and installation of additional products such as batteries. In addition to details provided below, the Company’s disaggregated revenue is presented on the face of the Consolidated Statements of Operations, which includes monitoring and related services and security installation, product, and other revenue presented for its CSB segment, as well as Solar installation, product, and other revenue. CSB Company-Owned - In transactions in which the Company provides monitoring and related services but retains ownership of the security system (referred to as Company-owned transactions ), the Company’s performance obligations primarily include (i) monitoring and related services, which are recognized when these services are provided to the customer, and (ii) a material right associated with the one-time non-refundable fees incurred in connection with the initiation of a monitoring contract which the customer will not be required to pay again upon a renewal of the contract (referred to as deferred subscriber acquisition revenue). Deferred subscriber acquisition revenue is amortized on a pooled basis over the estimated life of the customer relationship using an accelerated method consistent with the treatment of subscriber system assets and deferred subscriber acquisition costs and is reflected in security installation, product, and other revenue. Years Ended December 31, ( in thousands ) 2023 2022 2021 Amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition revenue $ 301,708 $ 235,190 $ 164,180 CSB Customer-Owned - In transactions involving security systems sold outright to the customer (referred to as outright sales ), the Company’s performance obligations generally include the sale and installation of the system, which is primarily recognized at a point in time based upon the nature of the transaction and contractual terms, and any monitoring and related services, which are recognized when these services are provided to the customer. Solar - The Company’s performance obligations generally include the sale and installation of a solar system. Transactions within the Solar business may also include additional performance obligations such as roofing services or the sale and installation of additional products (such as batteries). Revenue is recognized when control over the products and services are transferred to the customer and is reflected in solar installation, product, and other revenue. Solar revenue was not material during 2021 subsequent to the date of the ADT Solar Acquisition. Revenue and cost of revenue from Solar equipment was $154 million and $121 million, respectively, during 2023, and $451 million and $292 million, respectively, during 2022. The Company enters into agreements with third-party lenders to access loan products for the Company’s Solar customers. These lenders remit the amount of such loans, net of fees, upon installation or based on other contractual terms with the third-party lenders. These fees are recorded as a reduction of solar installation, product, and other revenue and were $52 million and $141 million during 2023 and 2022, respectively. Deferred Revenue Deferred revenue represents customer billings for services not yet rendered and is primarily related to recurring monitoring and related services. In addition, payments received for the sale and installation of a system after the agreement is signed but before performance obligations are satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue. These amounts are recorded as current deferred revenue, as the Company expects to satisfy any remaining performance obligations, as well as recognize the related revenue, within the next twelve months when performance obligations are satisfied. Accordingly, the Company has applied the practical expedient regarding deferred revenue to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations if (i) the contract has an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) the Company recognizes revenue in proportion to the amount it has the right to invoice for services performed. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable represent unconditional rights to consideration from customers in the ordinary course of business and are generally due in one year or less. The Company’s accounts receivable are recorded at amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses not expected to be recovered. The allowance for credit losses is recognized at inception and reassessed each reporting period. The Company evaluates its allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable in pools based on customer type. For each customer pool, the allowance for credit losses is estimated based on the delinquency status of the underlying receivables and the related historical loss experience, as adjusted for current and expected future conditions, if applicable. The allowance for credit losses is not material for the individual pools of customers. Changes in the Allowance for Credit Losses: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 2021 Beginning balance $ 35,482 $ 22,104 $ 28,608 Provision for credit losses (1) 138,225 90,502 50,717 Write-offs, net of recoveries (2) (120,478) (77,124) (57,221) Ending balance $ 53,229 $ 35,482 $ 22,104 ________________ (1) The provision for credit losses during 2021 was impacted by adjustments related to the COVID-19 Pandemic. (2) Recoveries were not material for the periods presented. As such, write-offs are presented net of recoveries. Retail Installment Contract Receivables For security system transactions occurring under both Company-owned and customer-owned equipment models, the Company’s retail installment contract option allows qualifying residential customers to pay the fees due at installation over a 24-, 36-, or 60-month interest-free period. The financing component of retail installment contract receivables is not significant. Upon origination of a retail installment contract, the Company utilizes external credit scores to assess customer credit quality and determine eligibility. In addition, customers are required to enroll in the Company’s automated payment process in order to enter into a retail installment contract. Subsequent to origination, the Company monitors the delinquency status of retail installment contract receivables as the key credit quality indicator. As of December 31, 2023, the current and delinquent billed retail installment contract receivables were not material. The Company’s retail installment contract receivables are recorded at amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses not expected to be recovered. The allowance for credit losses is recognized at inception and reassessed each reporting period. The allowance for credit losses relates to retail installment contract receivables from outright sales transactions and is not material. The balance of unbilled retail installment contract receivables comprises: December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Retail installment contract receivables, gross $ 674,827 $ 532,406 Allowance for credit losses (1,192) (890) Retail installment contract receivables, net $ 673,635 $ 531,516 Balance Sheet Classification: Accounts receivable, net $ 238,961 $ 169,242 Other assets 434,674 362,274 Retail installment contract receivables, net $ 673,635 $ 531,516 As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, retail installment contract receivables, net, used as collateral for borrowings under the 2020 Receivables Facility were $610 million and $506 million, respectively. Refer to Note 8 “Debt” for further discussion regarding the 2020 Receivables Facility. Contract Assets Contract assets represent the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. The contract asset is reclassified to accounts receivable as additional services are performed and billed, which is when the Company’s right to the consideration becomes unconditional. The Company has the right to bill customers as services are provided over time, which generally occurs over the course of a 24-, 36-, or 60-month period. The financing component of contract assets is not significant. The Company records an allowance for credit losses against its contract assets for amounts not expected to be recovered. The allowance is recognized at inception and is reassessed each reporting period. The allowance for credit losses on contract assets was not material for the periods presented. Gross contract assets recognized by the Company were not material for the periods presented.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	SEGMENT INFORMATION As discussed in Note 1 “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” effective in the third quarter of 2023, the Company reports results in two operating and reportable segments: CSB and Solar. Prior to the third quarter of 2023, the Commercial Business was reflected in the Commercial reportable segment. Certain allocated shared costs that were previously included in the Commercial reportable segment that do not qualify to be presented within discontinued operations are now reflected in the CSB reportable segment consistent with other unallocated corporate and other costs as discussed below. The Company organizes its segments based on customer type as follows: • CSB - The CSB segment primarily includes (i) revenue and operating costs from the sale, installation, servicing, and monitoring of integrated security and automation systems, as well as other related offerings; (ii) other operating costs associated with support functions related to these operations; and (iii) general corporate costs and other income and expense items not included in the Solar segment. Customers in the CSB segment are comprised of owners and renters of residential properties, small business operators, and other individual consumers. • Solar - The Solar segment primarily includes (i) revenue and operating costs from the sale and installation of solar and related solutions and services; (ii) other operating costs associated with support functions related to these operations; and (iii) certain dedicated corporate costs and other income and expense items. Customers in the Solar segment are comprised of residential homeowners who purchase solar and energy storage solutions, energy efficiency upgrades, and roofing services. The CODM uses Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations (“Adjusted EBITDA”), which is the Company’s segment profit measure, to evaluate segment performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined 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 such as separation costs; (vii) losses on extinguishment of debt; (viii) radio conversion costs, net; (ix) adjustments related to acquisitions, such as contingent consideration and purchase accounting adjustments, or dispositions; (x) impairment charges; and (xi) other income/gain or expense/loss items such as changes in fair value of certain financial instruments or financing and consent fees.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Acquisitions	ACQUISITIONS From time to time, the Company may pursue business acquisitions that either strategically fit with the Company’s existing core business or expand the Company’s products and services into new and attractive adjacent markets. The Company accounts for business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business acquisitions are recorded at the date of acquisition at their estimated fair values, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and in assigning useful lives to certain definite-lived intangible and tangible assets. Accordingly, the Company may engage third-party valuation specialists to assist in these determinations. The fair value estimates are based on available information as of the acquisition date and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management, but are inherently uncertain. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized as incurred and are included in merger, restructuring, integration, and other and were not material during 2023, 2022, and 2021. ADT Solar Acquisition In December 2021, the Company acquired ADT Solar. The acquisition expanded the Company’s offerings by entering the residential solar market. Upon the consummation of the ADT Solar Acquisition, ADT Solar became an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Total consideration was approximately $750 million, which consisted of cash paid of $142 million, net of cash acquired, and approximately 75.0 million unregistered shares of the Company’s Common Stock with a fair value of $569 million (the “Equity Consideration”), including $40 million related to approximately 5.3 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock that were issued during 2022 (“Delayed Shares”). The total fair value of the Equity Consideration was based on the closing stock price of the Company’s Common Stock on December 8, 2021, the acquisition date, adjusted for the impact of contractual restrictions on the ability for the holders to sell their shares. At the time of acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill to the Solar reporting unit, the majority of which was deductible for tax purposes, which reflected the expected strategic value and synergies of ADT Solar to the Company at that time. Refer to Note 7 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” for information on goodwill impairment losses recognized in the Solar reporting unit during 2022 and 2023, which resulted in a goodwill balance of zero for the Solar reporting unit. Pro Forma Results The following summary, prepared on a pro forma basis, presents the Company’s unaudited consolidated results of operations for 2021 as if the ADT Solar Acquisition had been completed as of January 1, 2020. The pro forma results below include the impact of certain adjustments related to the amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related costs incurred as of the acquisition date, and in each case, the related income tax effects, as well as certain other post-acquisition adjustments directly attributable to the acquisition. This pro forma presentation does not include any impact of transaction synergies. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had the ADT Solar Acquisition been consummated as of that date: Year Ended December 31, 2021 Total revenue $ 5,905,148 Net income (loss) $ (328,099) These previously reported pro forma results have not been updated to reflect the presentation of the Commercial Business as a discontinued operation in the Company’s consolidated results used in the calculation. From the acquisition date, December 8, 2021 through December 31, 2021, revenue and net loss of $47 million and $7 million, respectively, attributable to ADT Solar are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Other Acquisitions There was no acquisition activity during 2023. During 2022, total consideration for continuing and discontinued operations related to business acquisitions was $31 million, including $15 million in shares of the Company’s common stock (excluding the Delayed Shares), which resulted in the recognition of $20 million of goodwill. During 2021, total consideration for continuing and discontinued operations related to business acquisitions (excluding the ADT Solar Acquisition) was $21 million.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Divestitures	DIVESTITURES The Company may decide to divest portions of its business for various reasons, including efforts to focus on its remaining businesses. The Company presents discontinued operations for components of the business that are either disposed of through sale (or qualify as held for sale), abandonment, or spin-off if these actions also represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s financial results. Commercial Divestiture As discussed in Note 1 “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” as a result of the Commercial Divestiture, the disposal group met the established held for sale criteria during the third quarter of 2023. The Commercial Divestiture supports the Company’s strategic journey and strengthens its financial profile. Furthermore, the Commercial Divestiture represents a strategic shift that has and will continue to have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial statements, and therefore, the results of operations of the Commercial Business are classified as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented. As the agreed upon sale price was substantially higher than the carrying value of the Commercial Business, the Company did not record any impairments or adjustments when recognizing the disposal group at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. As discussed in Note 3 “Segment Information,” the Commercial Business was previously reflected in the Commercial reportable segment. On October 2, 2023, the Company completed the Commercial Divestiture, and received net proceeds of approximately $1,585 million, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments as set forth in the Commercial Purchase Agreement, the majority of which is presented as cash flows from investing activities from discontinued operations. In addition, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of approximately $630 million, which was recognized in income (loss) from discontinued operations. The Company used the majority of the net proceeds for debt redemption, as discussed in Note 8 “Debt.” Refer to Note 13 “Net Income (Loss) per Share” for basic and diluted earnings per share information for discontinued operations. The following reconciliations represent the major classes of line items of the Commercial Business within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations and certain information within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (excluding proceeds from the sale of business discussed above) for the periods presented.

Commercial TSA fees charged to the Commercial Business represent charges for internal labor as well as certain third-party costs identified in connection with providing such services. Income from the Commercial TSA is recognized in other income (expense), and expenses incurred by the Company to support the transition are recorded based on the nature of the expense. Income from the Commercial TSA was not material during 2023. ADT Brand License and Intellectual Property Rights The Company and GTCR entered into an agreement granting GTCR a license to continue to use the ADT brand and other Company trademarks for a period of twelve months to transition from Company branding (the “Brand License”). The Company has also agreed to a covenant not to assert a claim against GTCR for infringement of the Company's patents as of the Commercial Divestiture for products and services that were used in the Commercial Business prior to the Commercial Divestiture, and has provided GTCR with a paid-up, irrevocable, non-assignable (with limited exceptions) license to continue to use certain software and other Company intellectual property in the same manner. Royalty income is included in other income (expense) and was not material during 2023. Other Divestitures Other divestiture activity not reflected as discontinued operations includes: During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to sell substantially all of the assets and certain specified liabilities of its Vintage Security business (the “Vintage Security Divestiture”). As a result, the disposal group was classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2023, and the assets and liabilities of the Vintage Security business were reflected as held for sale. In October 2023, the Company completed the sale of its Vintage Security business (the “Vintage Security Divestiture”) for net proceeds of $36 million, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments, and recognized a gain on sale of $19 million recognized in SG&A. The results of operations of the Vintage Security business are reflected in the CSB segment through the date of sale. During 2022, proceeds related to disposal activities totaled $27 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $10 million recognized in SG&A.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Equity Method Investments	EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS The Company uses the equity method of accounting to account for an investment in which it has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control. The Company recognizes its proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss in equity in net earnings (losses) of equity method investee. The Company evaluates an equity method investment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such investment may be impaired. If a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary, the Company records a loss as a component of the Company’s share of earnings or losses of the equity method investee in the current period. Canopy Investment In April 2022, the Company and Ford Motor Company (“Ford”) formed a new entity, SNTNL LLC (“Canopy”), and the Company contributed cash of $11 million (the “Initial Contribution”). Since the Initial Contribution, the Company contributed $7 million. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company sold its shares in Canopy and received $21 million in accordance with the terms of the agreement between the Company and Ford, which included a put right under which the Company recovered its full equity investment in Canopy plus a premium (“Canopy Termination”). In addition, the Company recognized a gain of $15 million, which is reflected in equity in net earnings (losses) of equity method investees. The Company no longer holds an investment in Canopy. The Company previously accounted for its investment in Canopy under the equity method of accounting as the Company was not the primary beneficiary, and therefore, did not consolidate Canopy’s assets, liabilities, and financial results of operations. In connection with the Canopy Investment, the Company entered into various commercial agreements (the “Canopy Commercial Agreements”). The Company and Canopy are also parties to a trade name licensing agreement. These agreements will terminate effective on December 1, 2024 as a result of the Canopy Termination. The impact to the consolidated financial statements from these agreements is not material.

As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, accumulated goodwill impairment losses totaled $712 million and $201 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no accumulated goodwill impairment losses.

(2) Originated from the Formation Transactions and the ADT Acquisition in 2015 and 2016, respectively. Amortized primarily over 19 years on a straight-line basis based on management estimates about attrition and the longevity of the underlying dealer network that existed at the time of acquisition. (3) Primarily relates to trade names and other technology assets. Amortized over a period of up to 10 years on a straight-line basis. (4) ADT trade name acquired as part of the ADT Acquisition. Contracts and Related Customer Relationships Contracts and related customer relationships comprise contracts with customers purchased under the ADT Authorized Dealer Program (as defined below) or from other third parties as well as customer relationships that originated from business acquisitions. Additionally, the Company maintains a network of agreements with third-party independent alarm dealers who sell alarm equipment and ADT Authorized Dealer-branded monitoring and interactive services to residential end users (the “ADT Authorized Dealer Program”). The dealers in this program generate new end-user contracts with customers which the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from the dealer. Purchases of contracts with customers under the ADT Authorized Dealer Program, or from other third parties, are considered asset acquisitions and are recognized based on the cost to acquire the assets, which may include cash consideration, non-cash consideration, contingent consideration, and directly-attributable transaction costs. The Company may charge back the purchase price of any end-user contract if the contract is canceled during the charge-back period, which is generally thirteen months from the date of purchase. The Company records the amount of the charge back as a reduction to the purchase price. Purchases of contracts with customers under the ADT Authorized Dealer Program, or from other third parties, are accounted for on a pooled basis based on the month and year of acquisition. The Company amortizes its pooled contracts with customers using an accelerated method over the estimated life of the customer relationship, which is 15 years. The accelerated method for amortizing these contracts utilizes an average declining balance rate of approximately 300% and converts to straight-line methodology when the resulting amortization charge is greater than that from the accelerated method, resulting in an average amortization of approximately 65% of the pool within the first five years, 25% within the second five years, and 10% within the final five years. Customer relationships acquired as part of business acquisitions, which primarily originated from the Formation Transactions and the ADT Acquisition, are amortized over a period of up to 15 years based on management estimates about the amounts and timing of estimated future revenue from customer accounts and average customer account life that existed at the time of the related business acquisition. The change in the net carrying amount of contracts and related customer relationships was as follows: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Beginning balance $ 2,595,535 $ 2,778,922 Customer contract additions, net of dealer charge-backs 564,652 633,431 Amortization (525,676) (819,677) Other (300) 2,859 Ending balance $ 2,634,211 $ 2,595,535 During 2023 and 2022, the weighted-average amortization period for customer contract additions under the ADT Authorized Dealer Program and from other third parties was 15 years and 14 years, respectively. Payments for customer contracts under the ADT Authorized Dealer Program and from other third parties are reflected as dealer generated customer accounts and bulk account purchases on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. During 2023 and 2022, the Company purchased customer accounts from certain other third parties for an aggregate contractual purchase price of $109 million and $111 million, respectively, subject to reduction based on customer retention. The Company paid initial cash at the closings in the aggregate amounts of $89 million and $82 million, respectively, which is included in the payments for dealer generated customer accounts and bulk account purchases. Definite-Lived Intangible Asset Amortization Expense Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 2021 Definite-lived intangible asset amortization expense $ 613,679 $ 911,405 $ 1,185,249 As of December 31, 2023, the estimated aggregate amortization expense on our existing intangible assets is expected to be as follows ( in thousands) : 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 Thereafter $ 550,057 $ 472,569 $ 416,533 $ 367,642 $ 363,549 $ 1,374,143 Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized and are tested for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each year and more often if an event occurs or circumstances change which indicate it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company may perform its impairment test for any reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset through a qualitative assessment or elect to proceed directly to a quantitative impairment test, however, the Company may resume a qualitative assessment in any subsequent period if facts and circumstances permit. Goodwill Under a qualitative approach, the Company assesses whether it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. If the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit, or if a qualitative assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company proceeds to a quantitative approach. Under a quantitative approach, the Company estimates the fair value of a reporting unit and compares it to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company estimates the fair values of its reporting units using the income approach, which discounts projected cash flows using market participant assumptions. The income approach includes significant assumptions including, but not limited to, forecasted revenue, operating profit margins, Adjusted EBITDA margins, operating expenses, cash flows, perpetual growth rates, and discount rates. The estimated fair value of a reporting unit calculated using the income approach is sensitive to changes in the underlying assumptions. In developing these assumptions, the Company relies on various factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and other market data. Examples of events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying judgments and factors and ultimately impact the estimated fair value determinations may include such items as a prolonged downturn in the business environment, changes in economic conditions that significantly differ from the Company’s assumptions in timing or degree, volatility in equity and debt markets resulting in higher discount rates, and unexpected regulatory changes. As a result, there are inherent uncertainties related to these judgments and factors that may ultimately impact the estimated fair value determinations. Except as discussed below within the Solar reporting unit, the Company did not record any goodwill impairment losses during the periods presented. CSB - Based on the results of a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2023, the Company concluded the fair value of the CSB reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value. Commercial - As a result of the purchase price of the Commercial Divestiture being substantially in excess of the carrying value of the net assets divested, the Company concluded it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Commercial reporting unit exceeded its carrying value as of October 1, 2023, and the Commercial Divestiture closed on October 2, 2023. Solar Goodwill Impairment During the first, second, and third quarters of 2023, the Company performed interim impairment quantitative assessments on the Solar reporting unit as a result of triggering events as of March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023, and recorded goodwill impairment charges of $242 million, $181 million, and $88 million during the first, second, and third quarters of 2023, respectively. Following the impairments during 2023, the balance of goodwill in the Solar reporting unit was zero. The Company also assessed the recoverability of other long-lived assets related to its Solar business, and impairment charges were not material. In addition, the Company recognized $201 million of goodwill impairment charges during the third quarter of 2022. These goodwill impairments were a result of continued deterioration of industry conditions and macroeconomic decline as well as ADT Solar’s underperformance of operating results in successive quarters relative to expectations, and for the third quarter of 2023, as a result of the Company’s then recent plan to close a significant number of branches that operated the Solar business along with the associated headcount reductions. Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Under a qualitative approach, the impairment test for an indefinite-lived intangible asset consists of an assessment of whether it is more-likely-than-not that an asset’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. If the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset, or if a qualitative assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not that the estimated carrying amount of such asset exceeds its fair value, the Company proceeds to a quantitative approach. Under a quantitative approach, the Company estimates the fair value of an asset and compares it to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is determined based on the nature of the underlying asset. The Company’s only indefinite-lived intangible asset is the ADT trade name. The fair value of the ADT trade name is determined under a relief from royalty method, which is an income approach that estimates the cost savings that accrue to the Company that it would otherwise have to pay in the form of royalties or license fees on revenue earned through the use of the asset. The utilization of the relief from royalty method requires the Company to make significant assumptions including revenue growth rates, the implied royalty rate, and the discount rate. As of October 1, 2023, the Company quantitatively tested the ADT trade name for impairment. Based on the results of the October 1, 2023 test, the Company did not record any impairment losses associated with the ADT trade name, and the estimated fair value of the trade name substantially exceeded its carrying amount. During 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record any impairment losses on its indefinite lived intangible assets. Definite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Definite-lived intangible asset impairments were not material during 2023 and 2022. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company recognized $18 million in impairment losses on its other definite-lived intangible assets primarily due to lower than expected benefits from the Cell Bounce developed technology intangible asset, which is included in the CSB segment, as a result of the worldwide shortages for certain electronic components at that time. The fair value was determined using an income-based approach, and the loss is reflected in merger, restructuring, integration, and other.

First Lien Credit Agreement The Company’s first lien credit agreement dated as of July 1, 2015 (together with subsequent amendments and restatements, the “First Lien Credit Agreement”) includes a term loan facility and the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility. Prime Security Services Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, Prime Security Services Borrower, LLC (“Prime Borrower”), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Holdings, and The ADT Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Prime Borrower (together with Prime Borrower, the “Borrowers”), are parties to the First Lien Credit Agreement as holdings and borrowers respectively. In October 2023, the Company redeemed approximately $1.3 billion of the existing term loan facility (the “First Lien Term Loan due 2026”) using net proceeds from the Commercial Divestiture. In addition, in October 2023, the Company refinanced the remaining outstanding balance of the First Lien Term Loan due 2026 with a new $1,375 million 7-year term loan B due 2030 (the “First Lien Term Loan B due 2030”). The First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 requires scheduled quarterly amortization payments, commencing on March 31, 2024, equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030, with the remaining balance payable at maturity. The Borrowers may make voluntary prepayments on the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 at any time prior to maturity at par, subject to a 1.00% prepayment premium in the event of certain specified refinancing events at any time during the first six months after the Closing Date. Additionally, the Borrowers are required to make annual prepayments on the outstanding First Lien Term Loan due 2030 with a percentage of the Company’s excess cash flow, as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement, if the excess cash flow exceeds a certain specified threshold. As of December 31, 2023, the Borrowers were not required to make an annual prepayment based on the Company’s excess cash flow. The First Lien Term Loan B due 2030 bears interest at a rate equal to, at the Prime Borrower’s option, either (a) a term SOFR rate (“Term SOFR”) with a floor of zero or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum, (ii) the rate of interest per annum last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the United States and (iii) the one-month adjusted term SOFR plus 1.00% per annum (“Base Rate”), in each case, plus an applicable margin of 2.50% per annum for Term SOFR loans and 1.50% per annum for Base Rate loans. Prime Borrower has elected the Term SOFR alternative to apply to borrowings of the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030. The First Lien Term Loan due 2026 had an interest rate calculated as, at Prime Borrower’s option, either (a) SOFR determined by reference to the costs of funds for Eurodollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing, adjusted for certain additional costs (“Adjusted SOFR”) with a floor of 0.75% or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum; (ii) the prime rate published by The Wall Street Journal; and (iii) one-month adjusted SOFR plus 1.00% per annum (“Base Rate”), in each case, plus the applicable margin of 2.75% for Adjusted SOFR loans and 1.75% fo r Base Rate loans and is payable on each interest payment date, at least quarterly, in arrears. The applicable margin for borrowings under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility is 2.75% for Term SOFR loans (subject to a credit spread adjustment) and 1.75% for Base Rate loans, in each case, subject to adjustment pursuant to a leverage-based pricing grid. In addition, the Borrowers are required to pay a commitment fee between 0.375% and 0.50% (determined based on a net first lien leverage ratio) with respect to the unused commitments under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility. Indebtedness incurred under the First Lien Credit Agreement is gu aranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured first-priority basis, by substantially all of Prime Borrower’s wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries, and by Prime Borrower’s direct parent on a limited recourse basis, and is secured by a pledge of Prime Borrower’s capital stock directly held by its direct parent and by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of Prime Borrower and the subsidiary guarantors, in each case, subject to certain permitted liens and exceptions. Significant amendments and restatements related to the First Lien Credit Agreement during the periods presented were as follows: • January 2021: Refinanced the First Lien Term Loan due 2026, which reduced the applicable margin for Adjusted LIBOR loans from 3.25% to 2.75% and reduced the floor from 1.00% to 0.75%, as well as reinstated quarterly principal payments. • July 2021: Extended the maturity date of the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility to June 23, 2026, subject to certain conditions, and obtained an additional $175 million of commitments. • October 2023: Refinanced the remaining outstanding balance of the First Lien Term Loan due 2026 with the First Lien Term Loan B due 2030. Both the proceeds and repayments of long-term debt on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows include the impact of $230 million from the refinancing. First Lien Revolving Credit Facility Borrowings and repayments under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility during the periods presented were as follows: • 2023: There were no borrowings or repayments. • 2022: The Company borrowed $550 million and repaid $575 million. • 2021: The Company borrowed $185 million and repaid $160 million in connection with the ADT Solar Acquisition. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $575 million in available borrowing capacity under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility. Term Loan A Facility On March 14, 2023, Holdings, Prime Borrower, and The ADT Corporation (Prime Borrower and The ADT Corporation in such capacity, the “Term Loan A Borrowers”), entered into a term loan credit agreement (the “Term Loan A Credit Agreement”) with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, pursuant to which such lenders provided the Term Loan A Borrowers with an aggregate principal amount of $600 million of term loans (the “Closing Date Term Loan A Loans”) under a senior secured term loan A facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”). The Company used the proceeds from the Closing Date Term Loan A Loans to redeem $600 million outstanding principal amount of the Company’s 4.125% senior notes due June 15, 2023 (the “ADT Notes due 2023”). Also on March 14, 2023, Holdings, the Term Loan A Borrowers, the subsidiary loan parties thereto, Barclays Bank PLC, and the lender party thereto entered into an amendment to the Term Loan A Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the lender party thereto agreed, at the option of the Term Loan A Borrowers and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary conditions, to provide the Term Loan A Borrowers with an aggregate principal amount of $50 million of incremental term loans (the “Incremental Term Loan A Loans”) under the Term Loan A Facility on or before the scheduled maturity date of the ADT Notes due 2023. On June 15, 2023, the Company borrowed the Incremental Term Loan A Loans and used the proceeds to complete the redemption of $50 million of the ADT Notes due 2023. The Incremental Term Loan A Loans have the same terms as, and constitute one class with, the Closing Date Term Loan A Loans. The Term Loan A Facility has a maturity date of March 14, 2028, subject to a springing maturity of 91 days prior to the maturity date of certain long-term indebtedness of Prime Borrower and its subsidiaries if, on such date, the aggregate principal amount of such indebtedness equals or exceeds $100 million. The Term Loan A Facility requires scheduled quarterly amortization payments, which commenced on June 30, 2023, equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan A Facility, with the balance payable at maturity. The Term Loan A Borrowers may make voluntary prepayments on the Term Loan A Facility at any time prior to maturity at par. Borrowings under the Term Loan A Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at Prime Borrower’s option, either (a) a term SOFR rate plus an adjustment of 0.10% (“Term SOFR”) or (b) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum; (ii) the rate of interest per annum last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the U.S., and (iii) the one-month adjusted term SOFR plus 1.00% per annum, in each case, plus an applicable margin of 2.50% per annum for SOFR loans and 1.50% per annum for base rate loans, subject to adjustments based on certain specified net first lien leverage ratios. Prime Borrower has elected the Term SOFR alternative to apply to borrowings under the Term Loan A Facility. Indebtedness incurred under the Term Loan A Facility is guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured first-priority basis, by substantially all of Prime Borrower’s wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries, and by Prime Borrower’s direct parent on a limited recourse basis, and is secured by a pledge of Prime Borrower’s capital stock directly held by its direct parent and by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of Prime Borrower and the subsidiary guarantors, in each case subject to certain permitted liens and exceptions. The Term Loan A Facility is subject to customary mandatory prepayment provisions, covenants, and restrictions, including a financial maintenance covenant requiring the Term Loan A Borrowers to comply as of the last day of each fiscal quarter with a specified maximum consolidated net first lien leverage ratio. Second Lien Notes due 2028 The Company’s 6.250% second-priority senior secured notes due 2028 (the “Second Lien Notes due 2028”) are due at maturity, and since January 15, 2023, the Second Lien Notes due 2028 may be redeemed at the Company’s option in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 103.125% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes due 2028 redeemed and accrued and unpaid interest as of, but excluding, the redemption date. The redemption price decreased to 101.563% as of January 15, 2024 and decreases to 100% on or after January 15, 2025. The Company’s obligations relating to the Second Lien Notes due 2028 are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured second-priority basis, by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and are secured by second-priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain permitted liens and exceptions. Additionally, upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, the Company must offer to repurchase the Second Lien Notes due 2028 at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. The indenture governing the Second Lien Notes due 2028 also provides for customary events of default. First Lien Notes due 2024 and First Lien Notes due 2026 The Company’s 5.250% first-priority senior secured notes due 2024 (the “First Lien Notes due 2024”) and the Company’s 5.750% first-priority senior secured notes due 2026 (the “First Lien Notes due 2026”) are due at maturity, and may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time at a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. The First Lien Notes due 2024 and the First Lien Notes due 2026 are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured first-priority basis, by each of the Company’s existing and future direct or indirect wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the First Lien Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, the Company must offer to repurchase the notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. The indentures governing the First Lien Notes due 2024 and First Lien Notes due 2026 also provide for customary events of default. Significant activity related to the First Lien Notes due 2024 during the periods presented was as follows: • May 2023: The Company redeemed $150 million principal amount of the outstanding First Lien Notes due 2024 for a redemption price of $150 million, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, using cash on hand. • December 2023: The Company redeemed $500 million principal amount of the outstanding First Lien Notes due 2024 for a redemption price of $500 million, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, using remaining net proceeds from the Commercial Divestiture and cash on hand. First Lien Notes due 2027 T he Company’s 3.375% first-priority senior secured notes due 2027 (the “First Lien Notes due 2027”) are due at maturity and may be redeemed at the Company’s option as follows: • Prior to August 31, 2026, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date. • On or after August 31, 2026, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the First Lien Notes due 2027 redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date. The Company’s obligations relating to the First Lien Notes due 2027 are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured first-priority basis, by each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that guarantees its First Lien Credit Agreement and by each of the Company’s future domestic subsidiaries that guarantees certain of the Company’s debt. The First Lien Notes due 2027 and the related guarantees are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets owned by the issuers and each guarantor, subject to certain permitted liens and exceptions. Upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, the Company must offer to repurchase the notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. The indenture governing the First Lien Notes due 2027 also provides for customary events of default. First Lien Notes due 2029 In July 2021, the Company issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.125% first-priority senior secured notes due 2029 (the “First Lien Notes due 2029”). The First Lien Notes due 2029 will mature on August 1, 2029, with semi-annual interest payment dates of February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning February 1, 2022, and may be redeemed at the Company’s option as follows: • Prior to August 1, 2028, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the First Lien Notes due 2029 to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Notes due 2029 to be redeemed and the remaining scheduled interest payments due on any date after the redemption date, to and including August 1, 2028, discounted at an adjusted treasury rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in either case accrued and unpaid interest as of, but excluding, the redemption date. • On or after August 1, 2028, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the First Lien Notes due 2029 to be redeemed and accrued and unpaid interest as of, but excluding, the redemption date. The Company’s obligations relating to the First Lien Notes due 2029 are guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured first-priority basis, by substantially all of the Company’s subsidiaries and are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain permitted liens and exceptions. Upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, the Company may be required to purchase the notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. The indenture governing the First Lien Notes due 2029 also provides for customary events of default. ADT Notes In connection with the ADT Acquisition, the Company entered into supplemental indentures to notes originally issued by The ADT Corporation (collectively, the “ADT Notes”) providing for each series of ADT Notes to benefit from (i) guarantees by substantially all of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and (ii) first-priority senior security interests, subject to permitted liens, in substantially all of the existing and future assets of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries. As a result, these notes remained outstanding and became obligations of the Company. The remaining outstanding ADT Notes are due at maturity, and may be redeemed, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest as of, but excluding, the redemption date. Additionally, upon the occurrence of specified change of control events, the Company must offer to repurchase the ADT Notes at 101% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date. The indentures governing the ADT Notes also provide for customary events of default. Significant activity related to the ADT Notes during the periods presented was as follows: • ADT Notes due 2022: In August 2021, the Company used the proceeds from the First Lien Notes due 2029, along with cash on hand, to (i) redeem all of the $1.0 billion outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 3.50% notes due 2022 (the “ADT Notes due 2022”) for approximately $1.0 billion, including the related call premium of $28 million, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and (ii) pay related fees and expenses (the “ADT Notes due 2022 Redemption”). • ADT Notes due 2023: In March 2023, the Company used the proceeds from the Closing Date Term Loan A Loans to redeem $600 million outstanding principal amount of the ADT Notes due 2023 for a total redemption price of $600 million, excluding any accrued and unpaid interest. In June 2023, the Company redeemed the remaining outstanding principal amount of $100 million for a total redemption price of $100 million using $50 million of proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan A Loans and the remaining from cash on hand. 2020 Receivables Facility During March 2020, the Company entered into the 2020 Receivables Facility, as amended, whereby the Company obtains financing by selling or contributing certain retail installment contract receivables to the Company’s wholly-owned consolidated bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity (“SPE”). The SPE grants a security interest in those retail installment contract receivables as collateral for cash borrowings under the 2020 Receivables Facility. The SPE borrower under the 2020 Receivables Facility is a separate legal entity with its own creditors who will be entitled, prior to and upon the liquidation of the SPE, to be satisfied out of the SPE’s assets prior to any assets of the SPE becoming available to the Company (other than the SPE). Accordingly, the assets of the SPE are not available to pay creditors of the Company (other than the SPE), although collections from the transferred retail installment contract receivables in excess of amounts required to repay amounts then due and payable to the SPE’s creditors may be released to the Company and subsequently used by the Company (including to pay other creditors). The SPE’s creditors under the 2020 Receivables Facility have legal recourse to the transferred retail installment contract receivables owned by the SPE, and to the Company for certain performance and operational obligations relating to the 2020 Receivables Facility, but do not have any recourse to the Company (other than the SPE) for the payment of principal and interest on the advances under the 2020 Receivables Facility. Significant amendments to the 2020 Receivables Facility were as follows: • March 2021: Extended the scheduled termination date for the uncommitted revolving period to March 2022, and reduced the spread over LIBOR payable in respect of borrowings thereunder from 1.00% to 0.85%, among other things. • July 2021: The 2020 Receivables Facility was amended into the form of a Receivables Financing Agreement, which continued the uncommitted secured lending arrangement contemplated among the parties and, among other things, provided for certain revisions to funding, prepayment, reporting, and other provisions in preparation for a potential future syndication of the advances made under the 2020 Receivables Facility. • October 2021: Further amended the documentation governing the 2020 Receivables Facility in connection with the syndication of the advances thereunder to two additional lenders: MUFG Bank, Ltd. and Starbird Funding Corporation (a conduit lender related to BNP Paribas). As part of the amendment, the 2020 Receivables Facility’s uncommitted lending limit was increased from $200 million to $400 million, and the scheduled termination date for the 2020 Receivable Facility’s uncommitted revolving period was extended from March 2022 to October 2022. • May 2022: Changed the benchmark rate from 1-month LIBOR to Daily SOFR, extended the scheduled termination date for the uncommitted revolving period from October 2022 to May 2023, and amended certain other terms to increase the advance rate on pledged collateral. • March 2023: Increased the borrowing capacity from $400 million to $500 million and extended the uncommitted revolving period from May 2023 to March 2024, among other things. The Company services the transferred retail installment contract receivables and is responsible for ensuring the related collections are remitted to a segregated bank account in the SPE’s name. On a monthly basis, the segregated account is utilized to make required principal, interest, and other payments due under the 2020 Receivables Facility. The segregated account is considered restricted cash. Proceeds and repayments from the 2020 Receivables Facility are presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. During 2021, both the proceeds and repayments from the 2020 Receivables Facility include the non-cash impact of approximately $88 million from the 2020 Receivables Facility amendment in October 2021. The 2020 Receivables Facility did not have a material impact to the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the periods presented. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had an uncommitted available borrowing capacity of $64 million under the 2020 Receivables Facility. Variable Interest Entity The SPE, as described above, meets the definition of a VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary as it has the power to direct the SPE’s activities and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the SPE. As such, the SPE’s assets, liabilities, and financial results of operations are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the SPE’s assets and liabilities primarily consisted of unbilled retail installment contract receivables, net, of $610 million and $506 million, respectively, and borrowings under the 2020 Receivables Facility as presented above. Solar Receivables Facility On August 2, 2023, Compass Solar Group, LLC (“Compass”) and ADT Solar Finance LLC (“ADT Solar Finance”), each an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ADT Inc. entered into a Receivables Financing Agreement with Mizuho Bank, Ltd. (the “Solar Receivables Financing Agreement”) to finance receivables generated by the installation of residential solar systems. The Solar Receivables Financing Agreement, among other things, provides for an uncommitted revolving loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $300 million, which loans are secured by substantially all the assets of ADT Solar Finance (the “Solar Receivables Facility”). The Solar Receivables Financing Agreement has an initial revolving period of one year (which may be extended by agreement of the parties) followed by an amortization period of 300 months to maturity where all collections on the receivables during such period will be applied to prepay the loan until reduced to zero, which will occur only if the Solar Receivables Financing Agreement is not mutually extended on a revolving basis. The interest rate under the Solar Receivables Financing Agreement is the sum of (x) term SOFR (plus a credit adjustment spread of 0.1%) plus (y) 1.0% (increased to 3.5% after the termination date) or, with respect to loans funded by a Conduit Lender (as defined in the Solar Receivables Financing Agreement), the sum of (x) the applicable rate set forth in the Receivables Financing Agreement plus (y) 1.0% (increased to 3.5% after the termination date). In connection with such Solar Receivables Financing Agreement, certain other agreements relating to the transaction were entered into, including ADT Solar Finance’s limited liability company agreement; a Receivables Sale Agreement between Compass and ADT Solar Finance, pursuant to which Compass sells such receivables from time to time to ADT Solar Finance; a Performance Support Agreement entered into by ADT Inc., pursuant to which ADT Inc. guaranteed certain obligations under the Solar Receivables Financing Agreement; and related transaction documents and certain account control agreements and security agreements. As of December 31, 2023, we have not borrowed any amounts under the Solar Receivables Facility. Debt Covenants Our credit agreements and indentures associated with the borrowings above contain certain covenants and restrictions that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things: (a) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred equity interests; (b) create liens on certain assets; (c) make certain loans or investments (including acquisitions); (d) pay dividends on or make distributions in respect of the capital stock or make other restricted payments; (e) consolidate, merge, sell, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (f) sell assets; (g) enter into certain transactions with affiliates; (h) enter into sale-leaseback transactions; (i) restrict dividends from the Company’s subsidiaries or restrict liens; (j) change the Company’s fiscal year; and (k) modify the terms of certain debt or organizational agreements. Our credit agreements and indentures associated with the borrowings above also provide for customary events of default. The Company is subject to a springing financial maintenance covenant under the First Lien Credit Agreement, which requires the Company to not exceed a specified first lien leverage ratio at the end of each fiscal quarter if the testing conditions are satisfied. The covenant is tested if the outstanding loans under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility, subject to certain exceptions, exceed 30% of the total commitments under the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility as of the last day of any fiscal quarter. The Company is subject to a financial maintenance covenant under the Term Loan A Credit Agreement requiring the Term Loan A Borrowers to comply as of the last day of each fiscal quarter with a specified maximum consolidated net first lien leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenant and other maintenance tests for all our debt obligations. Loss on Extinguishment of Debt Loss on extinguishment of debt includes the payment of call and redemption premiums, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and discounts, and certain other expenses associated with extinguishment of debt. During the periods presented, loss on extinguishment of debt was as follows: • 2023: Totaled $17 million and was primarily due to the write-off of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs associated with the partial redemption of the First Lien Term Loan due 2026 and the refinancing of the First Lien Term Loan due 2026. • 2022: Loss on extinguishment of debt was not material. • 2021: Totaled $37 million and was primarily due to the call premium and write-off of unamortized fair value adjustments in connection with the ADT Notes due 2022 Redemption. Additional fees and other costs associated with financing transactions were not material during 2023, 2022, or 2021.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's derivative financial instruments primarily consist of SOFR-based interest rate swap contracts, which were entered into with the objective of managing exposure to variability in interest rates on the Company's debt and interest rate swaps. All interest rate swap contracts are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. For interest rate swap contracts that are: • Not designated as cash flow hedges: Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in interest expense, net, and other income (expense) depending on the nature of the underlying that the swaps are economically hedging. • Designated as cash flow hedges: Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and are reclassified into interest expense, net, in the same period in which the related interest on debt affects earnings. For interest rate swap contracts that have been de-designated as cash flow hedges and for which forecasted cash flows are: • Probable or reasonably possible of occurring: Unrealized gains and losses previously recognized as a component of AOCI are reclassified into interest expense, net, in the same period in which the related interest on variable-rate debt affects earnings through the original maturity date of the related interest rate swap contracts. • Probable of not occurring: Unrealized gains and losses previously recognized as a component of AOCI are immediately reclassified into interest expense, net. The cash flows associated with interest rate swap contracts that contain an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception are reflected as cash flows from financing activities. The cash flows associated with interest rate swap contracts that were entered into with the intention of offsetting the economic overhedged position of a portion of our existing interest rate swaps are reflected as cash flows from investing activities. As these swaps were executed during December, there were no payments during 2023. Interest Rate Swaps : In October 2019, and in connection with the refinancing of variable-rate debt under the First Lien Credit Agreement in September 2019, the Company terminated interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $3.8 billion, of which $2.8 billion were designated as cash flow hedges, and concurrently entered into new LIBOR-based interest rate swap contracts, which were, at the time, designated as cash flow hedges, with an aggregate notional amount of $2.8 billion and maturity of September 2026. Additionally, the new interest rate swap terms represented a blend of the current interest rate environment and the unfavorable positions of the terminated interest rate swap contracts, which resulted in an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception of the new cash flow hedges due to off-market terms. Beginning in March 2020, the Company's interest rate swap contracts previously designated as cash flow hedges were no longer highly effective as a result of changes in the interest rate environment. Accordingly, the Company de-designated the cash flow hedges, and the unrealized gains and losses for the period in which these cash flow hedges were no longer highly effective were recognized in interest expense, net. Unrealized losses previously recognized as a component of AOCI prior to de-designation are being reclassified into interest expense, net, in the same period in which the related interest on variable-rate debt affects earnings through the maturity dates of the interest rate swap contracts, as the forecasted cash flows are probable or reasonably possible of occurring. During 2023, the Company recorded $25 million to interest expense, net associated with the reclassification from AOCI of historical losses related to the de-designated interest rate swaps for which the cash flows were probable of not occurring as a result of the partial redemption of the Company’s First Lien Term Loan due 2026. As of December 31, 2023, AOCI associated with previously designated cash flow hedges that is estimated to be reclassified to interest expense, net, within the next twelve months is not material. In March and April 2023, the Company entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $300 million to partially hedge the Term Loan A Facility. In December 2023, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $700 million to offset the excess notional interest rate swaps as a result of the partial redemption of the First Lien Term Loan due 2026. The changes in fair value associated with these swaps and the excess swaps are reflected in other income (expense).

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the recognition of revenue and expenses for income tax and financial reporting purposes and between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The Company records the effect of a tax rate or law change on the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period of enactment. The amounts and related disclosures below are based on the continuing operations of the Company.

Deferred Tax Assets and Deferred Tax Liabilities The components of the Company's net deferred tax assets (liabilities) were as follows : December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Deferred tax assets: Accrued liabilities and reserves $ 90,351 $ 117,488 Tax loss and credit carryforwards 132,230 468,209 Disallowed interest carryforward 150,492 185,080 Deferred revenue 225,499 187,766 Other 113,095 95,008 Total deferred tax assets 711,667 1,053,551 Valuation allowance (12,264) (57,715) Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance $ 699,403 $ 995,836 Deferred tax liabilities: Subscriber system assets $ (761,203) $ (766,067) Intangible assets (893,292) (1,023,895) Other (71,196) (97,772) Total deferred tax liabilities (1,725,691) (1,887,734) Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) $ (1,026,288) $ (891,898) The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets relates to the uncertainty of the utilization of certain U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, which includes its past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent years, and its forecast of future taxable income. In estimating future taxable income, the Company develops assumptions related to the amount of future pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company is using to manage its underlying businesses. The Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that it will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize its deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance. The changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets were as follows: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 2021 Beginning balance $ (57,715) $ (60,157) $ (68,013) Income tax benefit (expense) (1) 43,277 2,428 2,378 Write-offs and other 2,174 14 5,478 Ending balance $ (12,264) $ (57,715) $ (60,157) __________________ (1) During 2023, the change is primarily related to the utilization of capital loss carryforwards against which a valuation allowance was previously recorded. The utilization is attributable to capital gains generated in connection with the Commercial Divestiture. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $242 million of U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards with expiration periods between 2036 and 2042. Although future utilization will depend on the Company’s actual profitability and the result of income tax audits, the Company anticipates that the majority of its U.S federal NOL carryforwards will be fully utilized prior to expiration. Most of the Company’s U.S. federal NOL carryforwards are subject to limitation due to “ownership changes,” which have occurred under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382. The Company does not, however, expect that this limitation will impact its ability to utilize the U.S. federal NOL carryforwards. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was primarily related to capital loss carryforwards in Canada primarily generated in connection with the sale of ADT Canada during 2019. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 introduced IRC Section 163(j), which limits the deductibility of interest expense and allows for the excess to be carried forward indefinitely. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has not recorded a valuation allowance against the disallowed interest carryforward as the Company believes it has sufficient sources of future taxable income to realize the related tax benefit. Unrecognized Tax Benefits The Company recognizes positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in the consolidated financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50%) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit with greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company records liabilities for positions that have been taken but do not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company adjusts the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits in light of changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a change to the estimated liabilities. The Company includes interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense and as a component of the recorded balance of unrecognized tax benefits, which is reflected in other liabilities, or net of related tax loss carryforwards in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits were not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The following is a roll-forward of unrecognized tax benefits: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 2021 Beginning balance $ 56,177 $ 66,221 $ 65,990 Gross increase related to prior year tax positions 517 5,063 373 Decreases related to lapse of statute of limitation (7,871) (15,107) (142) Ending balance $ 48,823 $ 56,177 $ 66,221 The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits relate to tax years that are subject to audit by the taxing authorities in the U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign jurisdictions. Based on the current tax statutes and status of its income tax audits, the Company expects approximately $29 million of its unrecognized tax benefits to be resolved in the next twelve months. Open Tax Years by Jurisdiction Jurisdiction Years Open to Audit Federal 2020 - 2022 State 2017 - 2022 Canada 2019 - 2022 The Company files a consolidated return for its U.S. entities and separate returns for each Canadian entity. These income tax returns are subject to audit by the taxing authorities that may culminate in proposed assessments which may ultimately result in a change to the estimated income taxes. Federal Tax Legislation Tax Cuts and Jobs Act - Certain changes to U.S. federal tax law included in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 had a delayed effective date and have taken effect for 2022. Under IRC Section 163(j), the limitation on net business interest expense deductions will no longer be increased by deductions for depreciation, amortization, or depletion. Under IRC Section 174, specified research and experimentation expenditures must now be capitalized and amortized. Inflation Reduction Act - The Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”) was signed into law in August 2022. The IRA, among other provisions, implements (i) a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) on book income of corporations whose average annual adjusted financial statement income during the most recently-completed three-year period exceeds $1.0 billion, (ii) a 1% excise tax on net stock repurchases, and (iii) several tax incentives to promote clean energy including an extension of the investment tax credit. Both the CAMT and the excise tax provisions are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, and as of December 31, 2023, the Company does not anticipate any material impact.

Equity [Abstract]
Equity	EQUITY Common Stock and Class B Common Stock During September 2020, the Company amended its articles of incorporation to authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, par value of $0.01 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), as well as to increase the number of authorized shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share, to 1,000,000. In September 2020, the Company issued and sold 54,744,525 shares of Class B Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $450 million to Google LLC (“Google”) in a private placement pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated July 31, 2020 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”). Accordingly, the Company has two classes of common stock, Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, both of which entitle stockholders to one vote for each share of common stock. Each share of Class B Common Stock has equal status and rights to dividends as a share of Common Stock. The holders of Class B Common Stock have one vote for each share of Class B Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally; provided, however, that holders of Class B Common Stock, as such, are not entitled to vote on the election, appointment, or removal of directors of the Company. Additionally, each share of Class B Common Stock will immediately become convertible into one share of Common Stock, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time following the earlier of (i) the expiration or early termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (“HSR Clearance”), required prior to such holder’s conversion of all such shares of Class B Common Stock, or (ii) to the extent HSR Clearance is not required prior to such holder’s conversion of such shares of Class B Common Stock, the date that such holder owns such shares of Class B Common Stock. Google Investor Rights Agreement In connection with the issuance of the Class B Common Stock, the Company and Google entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “Google Investor Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which Google agreed to be bound by customary transfer restrictions and drag-along rights, and be afforded customary registration rights with respect to shares of Class B Common Stock held directly by Google. Under the terms of the Google Investor Rights Agreement, Google was prohibited, subject to certain exceptions, from transferring any shares of Class B Common Stock or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by Google through September 2023, or earlier if certain conditions occurred (the “Google Lock-up Period”). In December 2023, the Company and Google amended the Google Investor Rights Agreement to extend the Google Lock-up Period through June 2025, or earlier if (i) the Google Commercial Agreement (as defined in Note 14 “Commitments and Contingencies”) has been terminated under certain specified circumstances or (ii) the Google Cloud Master Agreement (as defined in Note 14 “Commitments and Contingencies”) has been validly terminated for any reason other than Google's uncured material breach. Issuances of Common Stock During the periods presented, issuances of Common Stock other than as related to the exercise or vesting of share-based compensation awards includes: • October 2022 : The Company issued approximately 133 million shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.2 billion as part of the State Farm Strategic Investment (as defined below). • June 2022 : The Company issued approximately 2 million shares of Common Stock as consideration for a business acquisition. • December 2021 : The Company issued approximately 70 million shares of Common Stock with a fair value of $529 million in connection with the ADT Solar Acquisition. Additionally, throughout 2022, the Company issued the Delayed Shares in connection with the ADT Solar Acquisition as discussed in Note 4 “Acquisitions.” State Farm Transaction State Farm Strategic Investment On September 5, 2022, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “State Farm Securities Purchase Agreement”) with State Farm, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a private placement to State Farm 133 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “State Farm Shares”) at a per share price of $9.00 for an aggregate purchase price of $1.2 billion (the “State Farm Strategic Investment”). On September 12, 2022, in connection with the State Farm Strategic Investment, the Company commenced a tender offer to purchase up to 133 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock (including shares issued upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock ) (the “Tender Shares”) at a price of $9.00 per share (the “Tender Offer”) using proceeds from the State Farm Strategic Investment. The State Farm Strategic Investment closed on October 13, 2022 (the “Closing”), and the Company issued and sold the State Farm Shares at a price of $9.00 per share. After giving effect to the State Farm Strategic Investment and the Tender Offer, State Farm owned approximately 15% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock (assuming conversion of Class B Common Stock), and as a result, became a related party at the Closing. Tender Offer Concurrently with the execution of the State Farm Securities Purchase Agreement, (i) Apollo delivered to the Company a Tender and Support Agreement, pursuant to which Apollo agreed to collectively tender (and not withdraw) no fewer than 133 million shares of Common Stock in the Tender Offer (the “Apollo Support Agreement”), and (ii) Google delivered to the Company a Support Agreement, pursuant to which Google agreed to not convert and tender any of its shares of Class B Common Stock. The Tender Offer expired on October 20, 2022. On October 26, 2022, the Company used proceeds from the State Farm Strategic Investment to repurchase an aggregate of 133 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price of $9.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $1.2 billion, excluding fees and expenses, subject to the terms and conditions described in the Offer to Purchase dated September 12, 2022 (as amended from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”). The Tender Shares were subject to the “odd lot” priority and proration provisions described in the Offer to Purchase as the Tender Offer was substantially over-subscribed. No shares of Class B Common Stock were converted and tendered in the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer was considered a contingent forward purchase contract (the “Forward Contract”), which was recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of the Forward Contract was estimated as the difference between the present value of the cash consideration to be paid and the value of the Company’s Common Stock to be tendered. At the commencement of the Tender Offer, the Company recorded a liability and a reduction to additional paid in capital of $42 million. During 2022, the change in fair value recognized in other income (expense) was a net loss of $63 million. Fees associated with the Tender Offer were not material. State Farm Investor Rights Agreement At the Closing, the Company and State Farm entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “State Farm Investor Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Board of Directors of the Company increased its size by one director and appointed a designee of State Farm as a member of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the terms of the State Farm Investor Rights Agreement, State Farm will also be bound by customary transfer and standstill restrictions and drag-along rights, and be afforded customary registration rights with respect to the State Farm Shares. In particular, State Farm (a) will be prohibited, subject to certain customary exceptions, from transferring any of the State Farm Shares until the earlier of (i) the three-year anniversary of the Closing and (ii) the date on which the development agreement with State Farm (the “State Farm Development Agreement”) has been validly terminated, other than in the event of termination by the Company for a material breach thereof by State Farm, and (b) will be subject to certain standstill restrictions, including that State Farm will be restricted from acquiring additional equity securities of the Company if such acquisition would result in State Farm (and its affiliates) acquiring beneficial ownership in excess of 18% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, taking into account on an as-converted basis the issued and outstanding Class B Common Stock, until five will not be restricted from acquiring shares of Common Stock or other equity securities of the Company from Prime Security Services TopCo Parent, L.P. and its affiliates so long as State Farm and its affiliates would not, subject to certain exceptions, beneficially own in excess of 25% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, taking into account on an as-converted basis the issued and outstanding Class B Common Stock, as a result of such acquisition. In addition, under the terms of the State Farm Investor Rights Agreement, in the event that the Company proposes to issue and sell shares of Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, or other equity securities of the Company to certain homeowners’ insurance and reinsurance companies, State Farm will have a right of first refusal with respect to such proposed issuance and sale on the same terms and conditions (the “ROFR”). The ROFR will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) State Farm and its permitted transferees no longer collectively owning shares of Common Stock equal to at least 50% of the State Farm Shares; (ii) the termination of the State Farm Development Agreement by the Company for a material breach by State Farm; and (iii) to the extent that the State Farm Development Agreement does not remain in effect on such date, the five State Farm Development Agreement At the Closing, the Company, ADT LLC (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), and State Farm entered into the State Farm Development Agreement pursuant to which State Farm committed up to $300 million to an Opportunity Fund that will fund certain product and technology innovation, customer growth, and marketing initiatives to be agreed on between State Farm and the Company. Additionally at the Closing, the Company received $100 million of the Opportunity Fund, which will be restricted until such time as the Company uses the funds in accordance with the State Farm Development Agreement. The Company’s use of the funds is also subject to approval by State Farm. The Company recorded the cash received from the Opportunity Fund as restricted cash and a corresponding liability, which is reflected in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of December 31, 2023. Refer to Note 17 “Related Party Transactions” or more information on the Opportunity Fund. Dividends Stockholders are entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose.

The Company does not expect to issue additional awards under the 2016 Plan. Unrecognized share-based compensation expense as of December 31, 2023 and share-based compensation expense for awards granted under the 2016 Plan were not material during the periods presented. Distributed Shares and Class B Unit Redemption In connection with the IPO, each holder of Class B awards (“Class B Units”), which were issued to certain participants by Ultimate Parent prior to the IPO, had their entire Class B interest in Ultimate Parent redeemed for the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Distributed Shares”) that would have been distributed to such holder under the terms of Ultimate Parent’s operating agreement in a hypothetical liquidation on the date and price of the IPO (the “Class B Unit Redemption”). The Class B Unit Redemption resulted in a modification of the Class B Units, whereby each holder received both vested and unvested Distributed Shares in the same proportion as the holder’s vested and unvested Class B Units held immediately prior to the IPO. As a result of the Class B Unit Redemption, holders of Class B Units received a total of 20.6 million shares of the Company’s Common Stock, of which 50% were subject to the same vesting conditions under the Class B Unit Service Tranche (the “Distributed Shares Service Tranche”), which were subject to ratable service-based vesting over a five-year period, and 50% were subject to the same vesting conditions under the Class B Unit Performance Tranche (the “Distributed Shares Performance Tranche”), which were based on the achievement of certain investment return thresholds by Apollo. The Distributed Shares also have certain other restrictions pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Management Investor Rights Agreement (the “MIRA”). The IPO triggered an acceleration of vesting of the unvested Distributed Shares Service Tranche causing them to become fully vested six months from the date of the IPO, which occurred in July 2018. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense on the Distributed Shares Performance Tranche on a straight-line basis over the derived service period of app roximately three years from the IPO date, as the vesting conditions were deemed probable following the consummation of the IPO. The following table summarizes activity related to the Distributed Shares during 2023: Performance Tranche Number of Distributed Shares Weighted-Average Grant Fair Value Unvested as of December 31, 2022 9,323,486 $ 13.05 Vested — — Forfeited (129,174) 13.05 Unvested as of December 31, 2023 9,194,312 $ 13.05 2018 Plan In January 2018, the Company approved the 2018 Plan, which became effective upon consummation of the IPO. The 2018 Plan, as amended, authorizes the issuance of no more than approximately 88 million shares of Common Stock by the exercise or vesting of granted awards, which are generally stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The Company satisfies the exercise of options and the vesting of RSUs through the issuance of authorized but previously unissued shares of Common Stock. Awards issued under the 2018 Plan include retirement provisions that allow awards to continue to vest in accordance with the granted terms in its entirety or on a pro-rata basis when a participant reaches retirement eligibility, as long as 12 months of service have been provided since the date of grant. Accordingly, share-based compensation expense for service-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, or on an accelerated basis for retirement-eligible participants where applicable. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Additionally, RSUs entitle the holder to dividend equivalent units (“DEUs”), which are granted as additional RSUs and are subject to the same vesting and forfeiture conditions as the underlying RSUs. DEUs are charged against accumulated deficit when dividends are paid. Top-up Options In connection with the Class B Unit Redemption in 2018, the Company granted 12.7 million options to holders of Class B Units (the “Top-up Options”). The Top-up Options have an exercise price equal to the IPO price per share of the Company’s Common Stock, as adjusted in accordance with 2018 Plan provisions, and a contractual term of ten years from the grant date. Similar to the vesting conditions outlined above for the Distributed Shares, the Top-up Options contain a tranche subject to service-based vesting (the “Top-up Options Service Tranche”) and a tranche subject to vesting based upon the achievement of certain investment return thresholds by Apollo (the “Top-up Options Performance Tranche”). Recipients of the Top-up Options received both vested and unvested Top-up Options in the same proportion as the vested and unvested Class B Units held immediately prior to the IPO and Class B Unit Redemption. The Top-up Options vesting conditions are the same as those attributable to the Distributed Shares, including the condition that accelerated vesting of the unvested options in the Top-up Options Service Tranche causing them to become fully vested six months from the IPO. Any shares of the Company’s Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Top-up Options will be subject to the terms of the MIRA. Share-based compensation expense associated with the Top-up Options Performance Tranche was recognized on a straight-line basis over the derived service period of approximately three years from the IPO date and was not material during the periods presented. The following table summarizes activity related to the 2018 Plan Top-up Options: Service Tranche Performance Tranche Number of Top-up Options Weighted-Average Exercise Price Number of Top-up Options Weighted-Average Exercise Price Aggregate Intrinsic Value (a) (in thousands) Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 5,955,254 $ 13.30 5,715,061 $ 13.30 Exercised — — — — Forfeited — — (73,817) 13.30 Outstanding as of December 31, 2023 5,955,254 $ 13.30 5,641,244 $ 13.30 — 4.0 Exercisable as of December 31, 2023 5,955,254 $ 13.30 — $ 13.30 — 4.0 ________________________ (a) The intrinsic value represents the amount by which the fair value of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds the option exercise price as of December 31, 2023. Options Options granted under the 2018 Plan are primarily service-based awards that vest over a three-year period from the date of grant, have an exercise price equal to the closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant, as adjusted in accordance with 2018 Plan provisions, and have a contractual term of ten years from the date of grant. The Company did not grant any options during the periods presented.

Share-based compensation expense associated with options granted under the 2018 Plan was not material during the periods presented. In addition, the cash flow and the intrinsic value of options exercised were not material during the periods presented. As of December 31, 2023, unrecognized compensation cost related to options was not material. Restricted Stock Units RSUs granted under the 2018 Plan are primarily service-based awards with a three-year graded vesting period from the date of grant. The fair value is equal to the closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant. The following table summarizes activity related to the 2018 Plan RSUs (including DEUs) during 2023: Number of RSUs Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value Unvested as of December 31, 2022 13,155,409 $ 7.38 Granted 7,632,819 7.56 Vested (8,997,904) 7.12 Forfeited (2,552,940) 7.72 Unvested as of December 31, 2023 9,237,384 $ 7.66 Total share-based compensation expense associated with RSUs granted under the 2018 Plan was $47 million, $55 million, and $46 million during 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, the majority of which relates to the Company’s continuing operations. The fair value of RSUs (including DEUs) that vested and converted to shares of Common Stock on their respective vesting dates was approximately $56 million, $59 million, and $52 million during 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs granted under the 2018 Plan was $30 million, which will be recognized over a period of 1.9 years. Other In June 2022, the Company granted 1.6 million performance share units (“PSUs”) in connection with a business combination that the Company will account for as share-based compensation. These PSUs contain both service and performance vesting conditions that must be met on an annual basis with the final vesting date in October 2025. The fair value of the PSUs is equal to the closing price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant, which resulted in a weighted-average grant date fair value of $7.46. The PSUs are not entitled to dividend equivalent units. The majority of these PSUs have been forfeited. The impact from the PSUs was not material.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income (Loss) Per Share	NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE The Company applies the two-class method for computing and presenting net income (loss) per share for each class of common stock, which allocates current period net income (loss) to each class of common stock and participating securities based on dividends declared and participation rights in the remaining undistributed earnings or losses. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) allocated to each class of common stock by the related weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to all securities representing potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period for each class of common stock and excludes potentially dilutive securities whose effect would have been anti-dilutive. Common Stock Potential shares of Common Stock include (i) incremental shares related to the vesting or exercise of share-based compensation awards, warrants, and other options to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock calculated using the treasury stock method and (ii) incremental shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Class B Common Stock.

Additionally, the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for Common Stock exclude approximately 9 million, 9 million, and 10 million unvested shares during 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, as their vesting is contingent upon achievement of certain performance requirements which had not been met during the respective periods.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Contractual Obligations The Company’s contractual obligations for goods or services entered into in the ordinary course of business, including agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and have a remaining term in excess of one year, primarily consist of information technology services and equipment, including investments in the Company’s information technology infrastructure and telecommunication services, and direct materials. The following table provides the Company’s contractual obligations (excluding the Google Commercial Agreement discussed below) as of December 31, 2023 (in thousands) : 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 Thereafter Total $ 323,488 $ 113,607 $ 43,957 $ 483 $ — $ — $ 481,535 The table above includes a commitment with one of the Company’s vendors to purchase at least $190 million of security system equipment and components through March 2025. This commitment is also satisfied through purchases made by the Company’s dealer network. Google Commercial Agreement In July 2020, the Company and Google entered into a Master Supply, Distribution, and Marketing Agreement (as amended, the “Google Commercial Agreement”), pursuant to which Google has agreed to supply the Company with certain Google devices, as well as certain Google video and analytics services (“Google Devices and Services”), for sale to the Company’s customers. The Google Commercial Agreement also specifies that each party shall contribute $150 million towards joint marketing, customer acquisition, training of the Company’s employees, and product technology updates related to the Google Devices and Services. In August 2022, the Company and Google executed an amendment to the Google Commercial Agreement, pursuant to which Google has agreed to commit an additional $150 million to fund growth, data and insights, product innovation and technology advancements, customer acquisition, and marketing, as mutually agreed by the Company and Google, (together with the initial amounts, the “Google Success Funds”). During 2023, $40 million of the Google Success Funds were reimbursed to the Company and reflected as a reduction of advertising costs. Google Cloud Agreement Addendum In December 2023, the Company and Google entered into an addendum to the Company’s existing agreement with Google for using Google cloud services (the “Google Cloud Agreement Addendum”), pursuant to which Google has agreed to provide certain credits, discounts, and other incentives for use of the Google Cloud Platform to the Company, and the Company has committed to purchasing $200 million of Google Cloud Platform services over seven years (through December 2030), with $35 million in the first two years, $65 million in the next two years after that, and $100 million in the last three years of the commitment. The Company may elect to cancel the commitment in return for a cancellation fee of 30% of the total remaining commitment amount and loss of any discounts, remaining credits, or other incentives provided under the Google Cloud Agreement Addendum. Guarantees In the normal course of business, the Company is liable for contract completion and product performance. The Company’s guarantees primarily relate to standby letters of credit related to its insurance programs and totaled $78 million and $93 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company does not believe such obligations will materially affect its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. During March 2022, the Company entered into an unsecured Credit Agreement with Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company, as administrative agent and issuing lender (the “Issuing Lender”), together with other lenders party thereto, pursuant to which the Company may request the Issuing Lender to issue one or more letters of credit for its own account or the account of its subsidiaries, in an aggregate face amount not to exceed $75 million at any one time, through December 2026. Legal Proceedings The Company is subject to various claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, which include among other things commercial general liability claims, automobile liability claims, contractual disputes, worker’s compensation claims, labor law and employment claims, claims related to alleged alarm system failures, claims that the Company infringed on the intellectual property of others, and consumer and employment class actions. The Company is also subject to regulatory and governmental examinations, information requests and subpoenas, inquiries, investigations, and threatened legal actions and proceedings. In connection with such formal and informal inquiries, the Company receives numerous requests, subpoenas, and orders for documents, testimony, and information in connection with various aspects of its activities. The Company records accruals for losses that are probable and reasonably estimable. These accruals are based on a variety of factors such as judgment, probability of loss, opinions of internal and external legal counsel, and actuarially determined estimates of claims incurred but not yet reported based upon historical claims experience. Legal costs in connection with claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business are expensed as incurred. Additionally, the Company records insurance recovery receivables from third-party insurers when recovery has been determined to be probable. The Company has not accrued for any contingent liabilities for which the likelihood of loss cannot be determined, is less than probable, or for which the range of potential loss cannot be reasonably estimated. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s accrual for ongoing claims and lawsuits within the scope of an insurance program totaled $110 million and $90 million, respectively. The Company’s accrual related to ongoing claims and lawsuits not within the scope of an insurance program is not material.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	LEASES Company as Lessee As part of normal operations, the Company leases real estate, vehicles, and equipment from various counterparties with lease terms and maturities through 2034. For these transactions, the Company applies the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components and accounts for the combined component as a lease. Additionally, the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities include leases with initial lease terms of 12 months or less. The Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities primarily represent lease payments that are fixed at the commencement of a lease and variable lease payments that are dependent on an index or rate. Lease payments are recognized as lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which is determined as the non-cancelable period, including periods in which termination options are reasonably certain of not being exercised and periods in which renewal options are reasonably certain of being exercised. The discount rate is determined using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate coinciding with the lease term at the commencement of a lease. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated based on publicly available data for the Company’s debt instruments and other instruments with similar characteristics. Lease payments that are neither fixed nor dependent on an index or rate and vary because of changes in usage or other factors are included in variable lease costs. Variable lease costs are recorded in the period in which the obligation is incurred and primarily relate to fuel, repair, and maintenance payments as they vary based on the usage of leased vehicles and buildings. The Company’s leases do not contain material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The Company’s subleases are not material.

For transactions in which (i) the timing and pattern of transfer is the same for the lease and non-lease components, and (ii) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately, the Company applies the practical expedient to aggregate the lease and non-lease components and accounts for the combined transaction based upon its predominant characteristic, which is the non-lease component. The Company accounts for the combined component as a single performance obligation under the applicable revenue guidance, and recognizes the underlying assets within subscriber system assets, net, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For transactions in which (i) the timing and pattern of transfer is the same for the lease and non-lease components, and (ii) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately, the Company applies the practical expedient to aggregate the lease and non-lease components and accounts for the combined transaction based upon its predominant characteristic, which is the non-lease component. The Company accounts for the combined component as a single performance obligation under the applicable revenue guidance, and recognizes the underlying assets within subscriber system assets, net, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Lessee	LEASES Company as Lessee As part of normal operations, the Company leases real estate, vehicles, and equipment from various counterparties with lease terms and maturities through 2034. For these transactions, the Company applies the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components and accounts for the combined component as a lease. Additionally, the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities include leases with initial lease terms of 12 months or less. The Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities primarily represent lease payments that are fixed at the commencement of a lease and variable lease payments that are dependent on an index or rate. Lease payments are recognized as lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which is determined as the non-cancelable period, including periods in which termination options are reasonably certain of not being exercised and periods in which renewal options are reasonably certain of being exercised. The discount rate is determined using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate coinciding with the lease term at the commencement of a lease. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated based on publicly available data for the Company’s debt instruments and other instruments with similar characteristics. Lease payments that are neither fixed nor dependent on an index or rate and vary because of changes in usage or other factors are included in variable lease costs. Variable lease costs are recorded in the period in which the obligation is incurred and primarily relate to fuel, repair, and maintenance payments as they vary based on the usage of leased vehicles and buildings. The Company’s leases do not contain material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The Company’s subleases are not material.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The financial statements included herein comprise the consolidated results of ADT Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The results of companies acquired are included from the effective date of each acquisition; and all intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company uses the equity method of accounting to account for an investment in which it has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control. This investment was disposed of during 2023. As discussed below under the heading “Commercial Divestiture,” beginning in the third quarter of 2023, the Company presented its Commercial Business as a discontinued operation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
Commercial Divestiture	Commercial Divestiture On August 7, 2023, ADT, Iris Buyer LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of GTCR LLC (“GTCR”), and, solely for certain purposes set forth in the Commercial Purchase Agreement (as defined below), Fire & Security Holdings, LLC (“F&S Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ADT, entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Commercial Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which GTCR agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of F&S Holdings, which directly or indirectly held all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in the subsidiaries of ADT that operated ADT’s commercial business (the “Commercial Business”) (the “Commercial Divestiture”). On October 2, 2023, the Company completed the Commercial Divestiture for a total purchase price of approximately $1,613 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, and received net proceeds of approximately $1,585 million, excluding transaction costs of $22 million. Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, the Company presented its Commercial Business as a discontinued operation as the Commercial Divestiture met all of the held for sale criteria for the disposal group and represented a strategic shift that has and will continue to have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial statements. The change is reflected in all periods presented. Additionally, the cash flows and comprehensive income (loss) of the Commercial Business have not been segregated and are included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), respectively, for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements relate to the Company’s continuing operations.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to select accounting policies and make estimates that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. The Company’s estimates are based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or market conditions.
Segments	Segments The Company has historically reported results for three operating and reportable segments organized based on customer type: Consumer and Small Business (“CSB”), Commercial, and Solar. As a result of the Commercial Divestiture, results of the Commercial Business are classified as discontinued operations and thus excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. Accordingly, the Company reports its results in two operating and reportable segments, CSB and Solar, organized based on customer type, with the change reflected in all periods presented. The Company’s segments are based on the manner in which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”), evaluates performance and makes decisions about how to allocate resources. • CSB - The CSB segment primarily includes the sale, installation, servicing, and monitoring of integrated security and automation systems and other related offerings to owners and renters of residential properties, small business operators, and other individual consumers, as well as general corporate costs and other income and expense items not included in another segment. • Solar - The Solar segment primarily includes the sale and installation of solar systems and related solutions and services to residential homeowners who purchase solar and energy storage solutions, energy efficiency upgrades, and roofing services, as well as certain dedicated corporate and other costs. As discussed in Note 1 “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” effective in the third quarter of 2023, the Company reports results in two operating and reportable segments: CSB and Solar. Prior to the third quarter of 2023, the Commercial Business was reflected in the Commercial reportable segment. Certain allocated shared costs that were previously included in the Commercial reportable segment that do not qualify to be presented within discontinued operations are now reflected in the CSB reportable segment consistent with other unallocated corporate and other costs as discussed below. The Company organizes its segments based on customer type as follows: • CSB - The CSB segment primarily includes (i) revenue and operating costs from the sale, installation, servicing, and monitoring of integrated security and automation systems, as well as other related offerings; (ii) other operating costs associated with support functions related to these operations; and (iii) general corporate costs and other income and expense items not included in the Solar segment. Customers in the CSB segment are comprised of owners and renters of residential properties, small business operators, and other individual consumers. • Solar - The Solar segment primarily includes (i) revenue and operating costs from the sale and installation of solar and related solutions and services; (ii) other operating costs associated with support functions related to these operations; and (iii) certain dedicated corporate costs and other income and expense items. Customers in the Solar segment are comprised of residential homeowners who purchase solar and energy storage solutions, energy efficiency upgrades, and roofing services.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Restricted Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are restricted for a specific purpose and cannot be included in the general cash and cash equivalents account.
Inventories, net	Inventories, net Inventories are primarily comprised of components and parts for the Company’s security and solar systems. The Company records inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventories are presented net of an obsolescence reserve.
Work-in-Progress	Work-in-Progress Work-in-progress is primarily comprised of certain costs incurred for installations of security system equipment sold outright to customers that have not been completed as of the balance sheet date.
Property and Equipment, net	Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment, net, is recorded at historical cost less accumulated depreciation, which is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation expense is reflected in depreciation and intangible asset amortization. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed when incurred. Useful Lives: Buildings and related improvements Up to 40 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of remaining term of the lease or economic useful life Capitalized software 3 to 10 years Machinery, equipment, and other Up to 10 years
Subscriber System Assets, net and Deferred Subscriber Acquisition Costs, net	Subscriber System Assets, net and Deferred Subscriber Acquisition Costs, net Subscriber system assets represent capitalized equipment and installation costs incurred in connection with transactions in which the Company retains ownership of the security system and are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 Gross carrying amount $ 6,404,479 $ 5,981,008 Accumulated depreciation (3,398,543) (3,062,468) Subscriber system assets, net $ 3,005,936 $ 2,918,540 Deferred subscriber acquisition costs represent selling expenses (primarily commissions) that are incremental to acquiring customers. The Company records subscriber system assets and deferred subscriber acquisition costs in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as these assets represent probable future economic benefits for the Company through the generation of future monitoring and related services revenue. Upon customer termination, the Company may retrieve such assets. Subscriber system assets and any related deferred subscriber acquisition costs are accounted for on a pooled basis based on the month and year of customer acquisition and are depreciated and amortized using an accelerated method over the estimated life of the customer relationship, which is 15 years. In order to align the depreciation and amortization of these pooled costs to the pattern in which their economic benefits are consumed, the accelerated method utilizes an average declining balance rate of approximately 250% and converts to straight-line methodology when the resulting charge is greater than that from the accelerated method, resulting in an average charge of approximately 55% of the pool within the first five years, 25% within the second five years, and 20% within the final five years. Depreciation of subscriber system assets and amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition costs are reflected in depreciation and intangible asset amortization and selling, general, and administrative expenses, respectively, as follows: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 2021 Depreciation of subscriber system assets $ 545,041 $ 531,013 $ 488,557 Amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition costs $ 188,222 $ 154,186 $ 118,162
Long-Lived Assets (excluding Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets)	Long-Lived Assets (excluding Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets)
Advertising Costs	Advertising Costs Advertising costs are recognized in selling, general, and administrative expenses when incurred and were $165 million, $214 million, and $235 million during 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Included in advertising costs during 2023 are certain joint marketing costs and reimbursements associated with the Google Success Funds as discussed in Note 14 “Commitments and Contingencies.”
Radio Conversion Program	Radio Conversion Program During 2019, the Company commenced a program to replace the 3G and Code-Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) cellular equipment used in many of its security systems prior to the cellular network providers retiring their 3G and CDMA networks during 2022. The program was completed in 2023, and the Company incurred a total of $276 million of net radio conversion costs since the inception of the program.
Merger, Restructuring, Integration, and Other	Merger, Restructuring, Integration, and Other Merger, restructuring, integration, and other represents certain direct and incremental costs resulting from acquisitions made by the Company, integration and third-party costs as a result of those acquisitions, costs related to the Company’s restructuring efforts, as well as fair value remeasurements and impairment charges on certain strategic investments. Significant activity included in merger, restructuring, integration, and other during the periods presented includes: During 2023, primarily relates to integration and third-party costs related to the strategic optimization of the Solar business operations following the ADT Solar acquisition, as well as restructuring costs. During 2022, merger, restructuring, integration, and other was not material. During 2021, primarily relates to an impairment charge in CSB due to lower than expected benefits from a developed technology intangible asset.
Concentration of Credit Risks	Concentration of Credit Risks The majority of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are held at major financial institutions. There is a concentration of credit risk related to certain account balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limit of $250,000 per account. The Company regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions and believes there is no exposure to any significant credit risk for its cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. Concentration of credit risk associated with the majority of the Company’s receivables from customers is limited due to the significant size of the customer base.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, accounts receivable, retail installment contract receivables, accounts payable, debt, and derivative financial instruments. Due to their short-term and/or liquid nature, the fair values of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their respective carrying amounts. Cash Equivalents - Included in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents, as applicable from time to time, are investments in money market mutual funds. These investments are generally classified as Level 1 fair value measurements, which represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Investments in money market mutual funds were $55 million and $145 million as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. CSB Retail Installment Contract Receivables, net - The fair values of the Company’s retail installment contract receivables are determined using a discounted cash flow model and are classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.
Long-Term Debt Instrument	Long-Term Debt Instruments - The fair values of the Company’s debt instruments are determined using broker-quoted market prices, which represent quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities as well as other observable market data, and are classified as Level 2 fair value measurements. The carrying amounts of debt outstanding, if any, under the Company’s first lien revolving credit facility (the “First Lien Revolving Credit Facility”) and its uncommitted receivables securitization financing agreement (the “2020 Receivables Facility”) approximate their fair values, as interest rates on these borrowings approximate current market rates. Loss on extinguishment of debt includes the payment of call and redemption premiums, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and discounts, and certain other expenses associated with extinguishment of debt. During the periods presented, loss on extinguishment of debt was as follows:
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments - Derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value as either assets or liabilities. These fair values are primarily calculated using discounted cash flow models utilizing observable inputs, such as quoted forward interest rates, and incorporate credit risk adjustments to reflect the risk of default by the counterparty or the Company. The resulting fair values are classified as Level 2 fair value measurements. Refer to Note 9 “Derivative Financial Instruments” for the fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments. The Company's derivative financial instruments primarily consist of SOFR-based interest rate swap contracts, which were entered into with the objective of managing exposure to variability in interest rates on the Company's debt and interest rate swaps. All interest rate swap contracts are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. For interest rate swap contracts that are: • Not designated as cash flow hedges: Unrealized gains and losses are recognized in interest expense, net, and other income (expense) depending on the nature of the underlying that the swaps are economically hedging. • Designated as cash flow hedges: Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and are reclassified into interest expense, net, in the same period in which the related interest on debt affects earnings. For interest rate swap contracts that have been de-designated as cash flow hedges and for which forecasted cash flows are: • Probable or reasonably possible of occurring: Unrealized gains and losses previously recognized as a component of AOCI are reclassified into interest expense, net, in the same period in which the related interest on variable-rate debt affects earnings through the original maturity date of the related interest rate swap contracts. • Probable of not occurring: Unrealized gains and losses previously recognized as a component of AOCI are immediately reclassified into interest expense, net. The cash flows associated with interest rate swap contracts that contain an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception are reflected as cash flows from financing activities. The cash flows associated with interest rate swap contracts that were entered into with the intention of offsetting the economic overhedged position of a portion of our existing interest rate swaps are reflected as cash flows from investing activities. As these swaps were executed during December, there were no payments during 2023.
Revenue	Revenue The Company generates revenue through contractual monthly recurring fees received for monitoring and related services provided to customers, as well as the sale and installation of security and solar systems (referred to as “systems”). Revenue is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations net of sales and other taxes. Amounts collected from customers for sales and other taxes are reported as a liability net of the related amounts remitted. When customers terminate a monitoring contract early, contract termination charges are assessed in accordance with the contract terms and are recognized in monitoring and related services revenue when collectability is probable. The Company allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling price, which is determined using observable internal and external pricing, profitability, and operational metrics. For CSB, the Company’s performance obligations generally include monitoring, related services (such as maintenance agreements), and the sale and installation of a security system in outright sales transactions or a material right in transactions in which the Company retains ownership of the security system. For Solar, the Company’s performance obligations generally include the sale and installation of a solar system and may include additional performance obligations such as roofing services or the sale and installation of additional products such as batteries.
Account Receivable	Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable represent unconditional rights to consideration from customers in the ordinary course of business and are generally due in one year or less. The Company’s accounts receivable are recorded at amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses not expected to be recovered. The allowance for credit losses is recognized at inception and reassessed each reporting period. The Company evaluates its allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable in pools based on customer type. For each customer pool, the allowance for credit losses is estimated based on the delinquency status of the underlying receivables and the related historical loss experience, as adjusted for current and expected future conditions, if applicable. The allowance for credit losses is not material for the individual pools of customers.
Retail Installment Contract Receivables	Retail Installment Contract Receivables For security system transactions occurring under both Company-owned and customer-owned equipment models, the Company’s retail installment contract option allows qualifying residential customers to pay the fees due at installation over a 24-, 36-, or 60-month interest-free period. The financing component of retail installment contract receivables is not significant. Upon origination of a retail installment contract, the Company utilizes external credit scores to assess customer credit quality and determine eligibility. In addition, customers are required to enroll in the Company’s automated payment process in order to enter into a retail installment contract. Subsequent to origination, the Company monitors the delinquency status of retail installment contract receivables as the key credit quality indicator. As of December 31, 2023, the current and delinquent billed retail installment contract receivables were not material. The Company’s retail installment contract receivables are recorded at amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses not expected to be recovered. The allowance for credit losses is recognized at inception and reassessed each reporting period. The allowance for credit losses relates to retail installment contract receivables from outright sales transactions and is not material.
Contract Assets	Contract Assets Contract assets represent the Company’s right to consideration in exchange for goods or services transferred to the customer. The contract asset is reclassified to accounts receivable as additional services are performed and billed, which is when the Company’s right to the consideration becomes unconditional. The Company has the right to bill customers as services are provided over time, which generally occurs over the course of a 24-, 36-, or 60-month period. The financing component of contract assets is not significant. The Company records an allowance for credit losses against its contract assets for amounts not expected to be recovered. The allowance is recognized at inception and is reassessed each reporting period. The allowance for credit losses on contract assets was not material for the periods presented. Gross contract assets recognized by the Company were not material for the periods presented.
Acquisitions and Disposition	From time to time, the Company may pursue business acquisitions that either strategically fit with the Company’s existing core business or expand the Company’s products and services into new and attractive adjacent markets. The Company accounts for business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business acquisitions are recorded at the date of acquisition at their estimated fair values, with any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. Significant judgment is required in estimating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and in assigning useful lives to certain definite-lived intangible and tangible assets. Accordingly, the Company may engage third-party valuation specialists to assist in these determinations. The fair value estimates are based on available information as of the acquisition date and on future expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by management, but are inherently uncertain. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized as incurred and are included in merger, restructuring, integration, and other and were not material during 2023, 2022, and 2021.
Contract and Related Customer Relationships	Contracts and Related Customer Relationships Contracts and related customer relationships comprise contracts with customers purchased under the ADT Authorized Dealer Program (as defined below) or from other third parties as well as customer relationships that originated from business acquisitions. Additionally, the Company maintains a network of agreements with third-party independent alarm dealers who sell alarm equipment and ADT Authorized Dealer-branded monitoring and interactive services to residential end users (the “ADT Authorized Dealer Program”). The dealers in this program generate new end-user contracts with customers which the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to purchase from the dealer. Purchases of contracts with customers under the ADT Authorized Dealer Program, or from other third parties, are considered asset acquisitions and are recognized based on the cost to acquire the assets, which may include cash consideration, non-cash consideration, contingent consideration, and directly-attributable transaction costs. The Company may charge back the purchase price of any end-user contract if the contract is canceled during the charge-back period, which is generally thirteen months from the date of purchase. The Company records the amount of the charge back as a reduction to the purchase price.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment	Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized and are tested for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each year and more often if an event occurs or circumstances change which indicate it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company may perform its impairment test for any reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset through a qualitative assessment or elect to proceed directly to a quantitative impairment test, however, the Company may resume a qualitative assessment in any subsequent period if facts and circumstances permit. Goodwill Under a qualitative approach, the Company assesses whether it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. If the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit, or if a qualitative assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company proceeds to a quantitative approach. Under a quantitative approach, the Company estimates the fair value of a reporting unit and compares it to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company estimates the fair values of its reporting units using the income approach, which discounts projected cash flows using market participant assumptions. The income approach includes significant assumptions including, but not limited to, forecasted revenue, operating profit margins, Adjusted EBITDA margins, operating expenses, cash flows, perpetual growth rates, and discount rates. The estimated fair value of a reporting unit calculated using the income approach is sensitive to changes in the underlying assumptions. In developing these assumptions, the Company relies on various factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and other market data. Examples of events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying judgments and factors and ultimately impact the estimated fair value determinations may include such items as a prolonged downturn in the business environment, changes in economic conditions that significantly differ from the Company’s assumptions in timing or degree, volatility in equity and debt markets resulting in higher discount rates, and unexpected regulatory changes. As a result, there are inherent uncertainties related to these judgments and factors that may ultimately impact the estimated fair value determinations. Except as discussed below within the Solar reporting unit, the Company did not record any goodwill impairment losses during the periods presented. CSB - Based on the results of a quantitative goodwill impairment test as of October 1, 2023, the Company concluded the fair value of the CSB reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value. Commercial - As a result of the purchase price of the Commercial Divestiture being substantially in excess of the carrying value of the net assets divested, the Company concluded it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Commercial reporting unit exceeded its carrying value as of October 1, 2023, and the Commercial Divestiture closed on October 2, 2023. Solar Goodwill Impairment During the first, second, and third quarters of 2023, the Company performed interim impairment quantitative assessments on the Solar reporting unit as a result of triggering events as of March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023, and recorded goodwill impairment charges of $242 million, $181 million, and $88 million during the first, second, and third quarters of 2023, respectively. Following the impairments during 2023, the balance of goodwill in the Solar reporting unit was zero. The Company also assessed the recoverability of other long-lived assets related to its Solar business, and impairment charges were not material. In addition, the Company recognized $201 million of goodwill impairment charges during the third quarter of 2022. These goodwill impairments were a result of continued deterioration of industry conditions and macroeconomic decline as well as ADT Solar’s underperformance of operating results in successive quarters relative to expectations, and for the third quarter of 2023, as a result of the Company’s then recent plan to close a significant number of branches that operated the Solar business along with the associated headcount reductions.
Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets and Definite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment	Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Under a qualitative approach, the impairment test for an indefinite-lived intangible asset consists of an assessment of whether it is more-likely-than-not that an asset’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. If the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset, or if a qualitative assessment indicates it is more-likely-than-not that the estimated carrying amount of such asset exceeds its fair value, the Company proceeds to a quantitative approach. Under a quantitative approach, the Company estimates the fair value of an asset and compares it to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is determined based on the nature of the underlying asset. The Company’s only indefinite-lived intangible asset is the ADT trade name. The fair value of the ADT trade name is determined under a relief from royalty method, which is an income approach that estimates the cost savings that accrue to the Company that it would otherwise have to pay in the form of royalties or license fees on revenue earned through the use of the asset. The utilization of the relief from royalty method requires the Company to make significant assumptions including revenue growth rates, the implied royalty rate, and the discount rate. As of October 1, 2023, the Company quantitatively tested the ADT trade name for impairment. Based on the results of the October 1, 2023 test, the Company did not record any impairment losses associated with the ADT trade name, and the estimated fair value of the trade name substantially exceeded its carrying amount. During 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record any impairment losses on its indefinite lived intangible assets. Definite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairment Definite-lived intangible asset impairments were not material during 2023 and 2022. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company recognized $18 million in impairment losses on its other definite-lived intangible assets primarily due to lower than expected benefits from the Cell Bounce developed technology intangible asset, which is included in the CSB segment, as a result of the worldwide shortages for certain electronic components at that time. The fair value was determined using an income-based approach, and the loss is reflected in merger, restructuring, integration, and other.
Income Taxes	The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the recognition of revenue and expenses for income tax and financial reporting purposes and between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The Company records the effect of a tax rate or law change on the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities in the period of enactment. The amounts and related disclosures below are based on the continuing operations of the Company. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets relates to the uncertainty of the utilization of certain U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, which includes its past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses in the most recent years, and its forecast of future taxable income. In estimating future taxable income, the Company develops assumptions related to the amount of future pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company is using to manage its underlying businesses. The Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not that it will generate sufficient future taxable income to realize its deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance. The changes in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets were as follows: Years Ended December 31, (in thousands) 2023 2022 2021 Beginning balance $ (57,715) $ (60,157) $ (68,013) Income tax benefit (expense) (1) 43,277 2,428 2,378 Write-offs and other 2,174 14 5,478 Ending balance $ (12,264) $ (57,715) $ (60,157)
Unrecognized Tax Benefits	Unrecognized Tax Benefits The Company recognizes positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in the consolidated financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50%) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit with greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company records liabilities for positions that have been taken but do not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The Company adjusts the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits in light of changing facts and circumstances; however, due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a change to the estimated liabilities. The Company includes interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense and as a component of the recorded balance of unrecognized tax benefits, which is reflected in other liabilities, or net of related tax loss carryforwards in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits were not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.
Dividends	Dividends Stockholders are entitled to receive dividends when, as, and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors out of funds legally available for that purpose.
Share-Based Compensation	The Company grants share-based compensation awards to participants under the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Plan”) and the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). In January 2018, the Company approved the 2018 Plan, which became effective upon consummation of the IPO. The 2018 Plan, as amended, authorizes the issuance of no more than approximately 88 million shares of Common Stock by the exercise or vesting of granted awards, which are generally stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The Company satisfies the exercise of options and the vesting of RSUs through the issuance of authorized but previously unissued shares of Common Stock. Awards issued under the 2018 Plan include retirement provisions that allow awards to continue to vest in accordance with the granted terms in its entirety or on a pro-rata basis when a participant reaches retirement eligibility, as long as 12 months of service have been provided since the date of grant. Accordingly, share-based compensation expense for service-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, or on an accelerated basis for retirement-eligible participants where applicable. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Additionally, RSUs entitle the holder to dividend equivalent units (“DEUs”), which are granted as additional RSUs and are subject to the same vesting and forfeiture conditions as the underlying RSUs. DEUs are charged against accumulated deficit when dividends are paid.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share	The Company applies the two-class method for computing and presenting net income (loss) per share for each class of common stock, which allocates current period net income (loss) to each class of common stock and participating securities based on dividends declared and participation rights in the remaining undistributed earnings or losses. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) allocated to each class of common stock by the related weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to all securities representing potential common shares that were dilutive and outstanding during the period for each class of common stock and excludes potentially dilutive securities whose effect would have been anti-dilutive. Common Stock Potential shares of Common Stock include (i) incremental shares related to the vesting or exercise of share-based compensation awards, warrants, and other options to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock calculated using the treasury stock method and (ii) incremental shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Class B Common Stock.
Leases	As part of normal operations, the Company leases real estate, vehicles, and equipment from various counterparties with lease terms and maturities through 2034. For these transactions, the Company applies the practical expedient to not separate the lease and non-lease components and accounts for the combined component as a lease. Additionally, the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities include leases with initial lease terms of 12 months or less. The Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities primarily represent lease payments that are fixed at the commencement of a lease and variable lease payments that are dependent on an index or rate. Lease payments are recognized as lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which is determined as the non-cancelable period, including periods in which termination options are reasonably certain of not being exercised and periods in which renewal options are reasonably certain of being exercised. The discount rate is determined using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate coinciding with the lease term at the commencement of a lease. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated based on publicly available data for the Company’s debt instruments and other instruments with similar characteristics. Lease payments that are neither fixed nor dependent on an index or rate and vary because of changes in usage or other factors are included in variable lease costs. Variable lease costs are recorded in the period in which the obligation is incurred and primarily relate to fuel, repair, and maintenance payments as they vary based on the usage of leased vehicles and buildings. The Company’s leases do not contain material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. The Company’s subleases are not material.
Leases	Company as Lessor The Company is a lessor in certain Company-owned transactions as the Company has identified a lease component associated with the right-of-use of the security system and a non-lease component associated with the monitoring and related services. For transactions in which (i) the timing and pattern of transfer is the same for the lease and non-lease components, and (ii) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately, the Company applies the practical expedient to aggregate the lease and non-lease components and accounts for the combined transaction based upon its predominant characteristic, which is the non-lease component. The Company accounts for the combined component as a single performance obligation under the applicable revenue guidance, and recognizes the underlying assets within subscriber system assets, net, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
