ADT REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2014 RESULTS
Recurring revenue of $775 million, up 4.2%; up 4.4% in constant currency(1) (2) 
Small Business recurring revenue growth of 10%
ADT Pulse overall take rate at 36.5% in the first quarter, up from 19% last year
Announced new innovations in ADT Pulse and partnerships with McAfee, Ford Motor Company and State Farm
$1.2 billion of capital returned to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends
BOCA RATON, Fla. - January 30, 2014 - The ADT Corporation (NYSE: ADT) today reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2014. The Company reported diluted earnings per share of $0.39 for the first quarter of 2014. Excluding special items for the separation from Tyco, merger and restructuring costs, and 2G radio conversion costs, diluted earnings per share was $0.43(1). This compares to diluted earnings per share excluding special items of $0.44(1) in the first quarter of 2013. Using the Company's cash tax rate, diluted earnings per share before special items was $0.66(1). Net income for the first quarter of 2014 was $77 million.
The Company reported recurring revenue, which made up 92% of total revenue in the quarter, of $775 million, up 4.2% compared to the same period last year. Recurring revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in average revenue per customer, which rose 3.1% over last year to $40.63. The Company's customer base grew by 0.7% compared to the same period last year, resulting in nearly 6.5 million customer accounts at quarter end. Net customer growth includes an increase in customer attrition, which rose 30 basis points sequentially to 14.2%. Total revenue of $839 million increased 3.7% compared to the first quarter of 2013.
EBITDA before special items was $426 million(1), 2.2% higher than the prior year, and EBITDA margin before special items was 50.8%(1), a 70 basis point decline. The year-over-year decrease in margins was primarily attributable to the increased costs associated with being a standalone public company and costs related to productivity investments.
The Company also reported steady-state free cash flow before special items, calculated on a pre-tax and unlevered basis, of $787 million(1).
"We made progress on our priorities during the quarter, setting the stage for quality growth in the future," said Naren Gursahaney, ADT's Chief Executive Officer. "We grew recurring revenue and EBITDA, gained strong traction on Pulse and drove significant improvements in revenue growth in our Small Business channel. Customer growth did not meet our expectations this quarter and we have implemented actions, including improvements in our dealer channel and lead generation process, to regain subscriber traction in the future. Additionally, as we outlined in our analyst day meeting in December, we are accelerating actions to improve attrition and efficiency in our business as we drive toward our goals for 2014."

PROGRESS ON 2014 PRIORITIES: GROWTH INITIATIVES
Increasing investment and growth in ADT Pulse - The Company continued to invest in capturing the opportunities in interactive services and home automation, achieving strong growth in its ADT Pulse platform. ADT Pulse take rates climbed to 36.5% of customer additions, up from 19% last year, and upgrade units increased by 143% from a year ago. ADT Pulse customers now make up approximately 9.5% of the total customer base, generate higher ARPU than the average of the base, and exhibit lower attrition characteristics. Additionally, the Company introduced ADT Pulse through its Devcon sales force and fully in its Canadian markets.
Launching innovations in ADT Pulse - At the International Consumer Electronics Show, the Company announced several new products to enhance the customer home automation experience, expanding the competitive advantage of our differentiated services. New ADT Pulse innovations for 2014 include:
ADT PulseTM Voice App: Hands-free voice control for pulse ecosystem
ADT PulseTM Remote Garage Door Control: Expansion allowing customers to secure all access points to the home, including the garage
ADT CanopyTM App: IOS/Android based personal protection application for mobile users
ADT PulseTM Wireless Platform: Wireless control system to improve customer experience, eliminate wiring needs and reduce installation costs.
Focusing on attrition reduction initiatives - The majority of customer attrition is driven by relocations associated with the housing recovery and non-pay customers. During the quarter, the Company continued to take action to improve its ability to reduce customer attrition in the future, including initiating tighter credit screening policies, implementing resale efforts and customer loyalty programs, and driving increased penetration of ADT Pulse, which exhibits better retention characteristics. The Company believes these actions will have a positive impact on attrition by year end.
Expanding dealer channel - Aligned with a key priority to improve productivity in the dealer channel, the Company added 11 new dealers to its sales channel and implemented new funding initiatives for future growth. The dealer channel drove a 29% take rate in ADT Pulse units in the quarter, up from 5% in the comparable period last year. Although total dealer channel sales productivity for the quarter was below last year, these actions establish a new foundation to improve dealer channel sales growth for the balance of the year.
Expanding presence in Small Business - Strong demand for security services and ADT Pulse, along with the integration of Devcon, drove a 10% increase in recurring revenue in the Small Business channel during the quarter. ADT Pulse take rates also increased to 36% during the quarter in the Small Business channel. The Small Business channel also initiated the launch of its vertical strategy, improving the alignment of its services to the specific needs of retail small business owners.
Forging new partnerships - The Company extended its footprint in security and home automation in the quarter, creating important partnerships with three industry leaders. The Company announced a partnership with Ford Motor Company that will allow its ADT Pulse platform to integrate with Ford’s SYNC® AppLink™, enabling drivers of equipped Ford vehicles to control aspects of the home. The Company also announced that it is partnering with McAfee to create a platform to protect both physical and digital assets. State Farm is another trusted partner that the Company is excited to be joining forces with to provide special offers on ADT Pulse home security and automation to the almost 20 million single-family homeowner and small business owner State Farm customers, who may also qualify for insurance discounts.
"The actions we are taking are placing us on the right path for the future," Gursahaney added. "Although it takes time for these activities to have a positive impact on our results, we believe the progress we are making is improving our position to capture higher growth in the future."
"In addition to investing in growth, we are continuing to focus on improving operational efficiencies and optimizing our capital structure," said Michael Geltzeiler, ADT’s Chief Financial Officer. "Subscriber acquisition costs were particularly higher in the quarter due to costs related to Pulse installations and upgrades, higher promotional activity and seasonably lower customer growth. Our focus is on redesigning and reengineering our processes to reduce SAC and cost to serve, and we expect these efforts will have a greater impact later in the year. We also took action to optimize our capital structure by continuing our share buyback program, increasing our target leverage as planned, growing our quarterly dividend and reducing future costs by executing an interest rate swap on a portion of our debt."





PROGRESS ON 2014 PRIORITIES: COST EFFICIENCIES
Actions to reduce subscriber acquisition costs - Subscriber acquisition costs (SAC) per customer addition increased in the quarter driven by strong ADT Pulse additions and upgrades, increase in advertising and promotions and weaker subscriber growth. As part of its cost efficiency program, the Company has been executing on a number of ongoing initiatives to reduce SAC in the future, these include:
Implementing new technology and installation procedures which improves the efficiency of the account provisioning process and reduces installation time
Developing next generation lower cost products through our vendor partners which have better functionality and performance, and a lower cost to serve
Optimizing lead management, sales conversion and marketing activities across all channels.
Actions to reduce cost to serve - Cost to serve increased relative to the comparable period last year largely driven by increase in costs associated with being a standalone public company and in productivity investments in areas such as implementing a new billing platform. The Company had some notable accomplishments in its ongoing cost to serve efficiency programs which will improve the efficiency of service costs in the future:
Implementing improvements to automate routine customer care activities and to optimize the performance of the customer care and service teams. These include a new assessment tool to analyze service outages and a self-service battery replacement program, both providing more efficient service and reducing the need to dispatch service technicians to the home or business
Executing on business process improvement programs, including restructuring the collections team in the Account Services Center
Converting to a more efficient billing platform - converted over 1/3 of the installed base to the new platform by quarter end.
PROGRESS ON 2014 PRIORITIES: CAPITAL STRUCTURE OPTIMIZATION
Share repurchase - The Company continued to return cash to shareholders under its previously announced three-year, $3 billion share repurchase program, repurchasing 26 million of its shares for $1.2 billion during the first quarter. From inception, the Company has repurchased 54 million shares for $2.4 billion under this program, resulting in a 20% reduction to outstanding shares.
Issued new debt - During the quarter, the Company issued $1 billion aggregate principal amount senior unsecured term notes. Long-term debt, including the outstanding revolver, totaled $4.4 billion at the end of the quarter, bringing our leverage ratio, based off of a trailing twelve month EBITDA before special items, to 2.6(1).
Increased quarterly dividend - The Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share on January 9, 2014, an increase of 60%.

NON-GAAP MEASURES
Revenue in constant currency, recurring revenue in constant currency, leverage ratio, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), EBITDA margin, EBITDA (pre-SAC), EBITDA margin (pre-SAC), free cash flow (FCF), steady-state free cash flow (SSFCF), diluted earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS at cash tax rates, in each case "before special items," are non-GAAP measures that may be used from time to time and should not be considered replacements for GAAP results.
Revenue and recurring revenue in constant currency are useful measures because they provide transparency to the underlying performance in markets outside the United States by excluding the effect that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations have on comparability. Revenue and recurring revenue in constant currency as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The difference between revenue (the most comparable GAAP measure), revenue in constant currency (non-GAAP measure), and recurring revenue in constant currency (non-GAAP measure) is the exclusion of the impact of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. This is also the primary limitation of this measure which is best addressed by using revenue and recurring revenue in constant currency in combination with GAAP revenue.
The leverage ratio is defined as the ratio of EBITDA before special items to total debt. The leverage ratio is a useful measure of the Company's credit position and progress towards leverage targets. Refer to the discussion on EBITDA before special items for a description of the differences between the most comparable GAAP measure. The calculation is limited in that the Company may not always be able to use cash to repay debt on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
EBITDA is a useful measure of the Company's success in acquiring, retaining and servicing our customer base and ability to generate and grow recurring revenue while providing a high level of customer service in a cost-effective manner. The difference between Net Income (the most comparable GAAP measure) and EBITDA (the non-GAAP measure) is the exclusion of interest expense, the provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense. Excluding these items eliminates the impact of expenses associated with our capitalization and tax structure as well as the impact of non-cash charges related to capital investments.
EBITDA (pre-SAC) is a useful measure of the Company’s success in retaining and servicing our customer base while providing a high level of customer service in a cost-effective manner. The difference between Net Income (the most comparable GAAP measure) and EBITDA (pre-SAC) (the non-GAAP measure) is the exclusion of interest expense, the provision for income taxes, depreciation expense, amortization expense, and subscriber acquisition related revenue and expenses. Excluding these items eliminates the impact of expenses associated with our capitalization and tax structure, the impact of non-cash charges related to capital investments and the impact of growing our subscriber base.
In addition, from time to time, the Company may present EBITDA and EBITDA (pre-SAC) before special items, which are the respective measures, adjusted to exclude the impact of the special items highlighted below. This number provides information to investors regarding the impact of certain items management believes are useful to identify, as described below.





There are material limitations to using EBITDA and EBITDA (pre-SAC). EBITDA and EBITDA (pre-SAC) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Furthermore, EBITDA and EBITDA (pre-SAC) do not take into account certain significant items, including depreciation and amortization, interest expense and tax expense, which directly affect our net income. Additionally, EBITDA (pre-SAC) does not take into account expenses related to acquiring new customers. These limitations are best addressed by considering the economic effects of the excluded items independently, and by considering EBITDA and EBITDA (pre-SAC) in conjunction with net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP. The EBITDA and EBITDA (pre-SAC) discussion above is also applicable to the respective margin measures.
FCF is a useful measure of cash that is free from significant existing obligations and available for other uses. The difference between Cash Flows from Operating Activities (the most comparable GAAP measure) and FCF (the non-GAAP measure) consists of the impact of capital expenditures, subscriber system assets, dealer generated customer accounts and bulk account purchases. Dealer generated accounts are accounts that are generated through the network of authorized dealers. Bulk account purchases represent accounts acquired from third parties outside of the authorized dealer network, such as other security service providers, on a selective basis. These items are subtracted from cash flows from operating activities because they represent long-term investments that are required for normal business activities.
SSFCF is a useful measure of pre-levered cash that is generated by the Company after the cost of replacing recurring revenue lost to attrition, but before the cost of new subscribers that drive recurring revenue growth. The difference between Net Income (the most comparable GAAP measure) and SSFCF (the non-GAAP measure) consists of the factors discussed above regarding EBITDA (pre-SAC), on a quarter-to-date basis. EBITDA (pre-SAC) is then annualized and adjusted for additional factors, described in the reconciliation below, required to maintain the steady-state. Certain components of these inputs are determined using trailing twelve month information or information from the most recent quarter.
In addition, from time to time the Company may present FCF and SSFCF before special items, which is FCF or SSFCF, adjusted to exclude the cash impact of the special items highlighted below. These numbers provide information to investors regarding the cash impact of certain items management believes are useful to identify, as described below.
The limitation associated with using FCF and SSFCF is that they adjust for certain items that are ultimately within management's and the Board of Directors' discretion to direct and therefore may imply that there is less or more cash that is available than the most comparable GAAP measure. This limitation is best addressed by using FCF and SSFCF in combination with other GAAP financial measures.
FCF and SSFCF as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These measures should be used in conjunction with other GAAP financial measures. Investors are urged to read the Company's financial statements as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the accompanying tables to this press release that show all the elements of the GAAP measure.
Diluted EPS at cash tax rates is a useful measure of the Company's diluted earnings per share after considering the difference between the effective tax rate and cash tax rate. The difference between diluted EPS (the most comparable GAAP measure) and diluted EPS at cash tax rates (the non-GAAP measure) is the exclusion of the impact of income tax expense and the inclusion of the impact of income taxes paid, net of refunds. Adjusting for these items provides information on the impact of our net operating loss carryforwards on our diluted EPS.
The Company has presented its diluted EPS, diluted EPS at cash tax rates, EBITDA, EBITDA margin, SSFCF and other measures before special items. Special items include charges and gains related to acquisitions, restructurings, impairments, and other income or charges that may mask the underlying operating results and/or business trends of the Company. The Company utilizes these measures to assess overall operating performance, as well as to provide insight to management in evaluating overall operating plan execution and underlying market conditions. The Company may also present its effective tax rate as adjusted for special items for consistency. One or more of these measures may be used as components in the Company's incentive compensation plans. These measures are useful for investors because they may permit more meaningful comparisons of the Company's underlying operating results and business trends between periods. The difference between net income and diluted EPS before special items and net income and diluted EPS (the most comparable GAAP measures) consists of the impact of the special items noted above on the applicable GAAP measure. EBITDA, EBITDA margin, EBITDA (pre-SAC) and EBITDA margin (pre-SAC) before special items do not reflect any additional adjustments that are not reflected in net income before special items. The limitation of these measures is that they exclude the impact (which may be material) of items that increase or decrease the Company's reported operating income and operating margin and net income and EPS. This limitation is best addressed by using the non-GAAP measures in combination with the most comparable GAAP measures in order to better understand the amounts, character and impact of any increase or decrease on reported results.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company determined that a small number of customer upgrades in Canada were incorrectly reflected as customer additions in prior periods. As a result, historical ending number of customers, gross customer additions and average revenue per customer have been adjusted. This adjustment had no impact on our financial statements for any prior periods.
(2)
The attrition rate is a 52 week trailing ratio, the numerator of which is the annualized recurring revenue lost during the period due to attrition and the denominator of which is total annualized recurring revenue based on an average of recurring revenue under contract at the beginning of each month during the period.
(3)
Average revenue per customer measures the average amount of recurring revenue per customer per month, and is calculated based on the recurring revenue under contract at the end of the period, divided by the total number of customers under contract at the end of the period.
