Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements relate to anticipated financial performance, management’s plans and objectives for future operations, business prospects, outcome of regulatory proceedings, market conditions and other matters. We make these forward-looking statements in reliance on the safe harbor protections provided under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this press release that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will exist or may occur in the future, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by various words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management that are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, and could cause future events or results to be materially different from those stated or implied in this press release. Specific factors that could cause actual results to differ from results contemplated by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: competition in the markets ADT serves, including new entrants in these markets; entry of potential competitors upon the expiration of non-competition agreements; unauthorized use of ADT’s brand name; risks associated with ownership of the ADT® brand name outside of the United States and Canada by Tyco International Ltd., our former parent (“Tyco”); failure to enforce ADT’s intellectual property rights; allegations that ADT has infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties; failure to maintain the security of ADT’s information and technology networks; interruption to ADT’s monitoring facilities; an increase in the rate of customer attrition; downturns in the housing market and consumer discretionary income; ADT’s ability to develop or acquire new technology; changes in U.S. and non-U.S. governmental laws and regulations; increase in government regulation of telemarketing, e-mail marketing and other marketing upon the cost and growth of ADT’s business; risks associated with ADT’s non-compete and


non-solicit arrangements with Tyco; shifts in consumers’ choice of, or telecommunication providers’ support for, telecommunication services and equipment; ADT’s dependence on certain software technology that ADT licenses from third parties; failure or interruption in products or services of third-party providers; ADT’s greater exposure to liability for employee acts or omissions or system failures; interference with ADT’s customers’ access to some of ADT’s products and services through the Internet by broadband service providers; potential impairment of ADT’s deferred tax assets; risks associated with acquiring and integrating customer accounts; potential loss of authorized dealers and affinity marketing relationships; failure to realize expected benefits from acquisitions; risks associated with pursuing business opportunities that diverge from ADT’s current business model; adverse developments in ADT’s relationship with ADT’s employees; potential liabilities for obligations of The Brink’s Company under the Coal Act; changes in ADT’s credit ratings; risks related to ADT’s increased indebtedness; capital market conditions, including availability of funding sources; potential liabilities for legacy obligations relating to the separation from Tyco; failure to fully realize expected benefits from the separation from Tyco; and difficulty in operating as an independent public company separate from Tyco. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements set forth in ADT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2013 and in subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
