preliminary statement

This presentation includes forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including statements regarding, among other things, our plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial. Forward-looking statements convey the Company’s current expectations or forecasts of future events. All statements contained in this presentation other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates” or “intends” or similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on these statements which speak only as of this date hereof. You should understand that the following important factors, among others, could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements: (1) risks of the security and home automation industry, including risks of and publicity surrounding the sales, subscriber origination and retention process; (2) the highly competitive nature of the security and home automation industry and product introductions and promotional activity by our competitors; (3) litigation, complaints or adverse publicity; (4) the impact of changes in consumer spending patterns, consumer preferences, local, regional, and national economic conditions, crime, weather, demographic trends and employee availability; (5) adverse publicity and product liability claims; (6) increases and/or decreases in utility and other energy costs, increased costs related to utility or governmental requirements; and (7) cost increases or shortages in security and home automation technology products or components. In addition, the origination and retention of new subscribers will depend on various factors, including, but not limited to, market availability, subscriber interest, the availability of suitable components, the negotiation of acceptable contract terms with subscribers, local permitting, licensing and regulatory compliance, and our ability to manage anticipated expansion and to hire, train and retain personnel, the financial viability of subscribers and general economic conditions. These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this presentation are more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K and subsequent amendment on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2014 as such factors may be updated from time to time in our subsequent periodic filings with the SEC. These risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. We disclaim any obligations to and do not intend to update the above list or to announce publicly the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. We undertake no obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

The estimated third quarter 2015 results included in this presentation are preliminary, unaudited and subject to completion, reflect management’s current views and may change as a result of management’s review of results and other factors, including a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties. Such preliminary results are subject to the closing of the third quarter of 2015 and finalization of accounting procedures (which have yet to be performed) and should not be viewed as a substitute for full quarterly financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We caution you that the third quarter 2015 estimates are forward-looking statements and are not guarantees of future performance or outcomes and that actual results may differ materially from those described in this presentation.

This presentation includes Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Flow, which are supplemental measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA Operating Cash Flow are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Flow provide useful information about flexibility under our covenants to investors, lenders, financial analysts and rating agencies since these groups have historically used EBITDA-related measures in our industry, along with other measures, to estimate the value of a company, to make informed investment decisions, and to evaluate a company’s ability to meet its debt service requirements. Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effect of non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets, much of which results from acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Adjusted EBITDA also eliminates the effects of interest rates and changes in capitalization which management believes may not necessarily be indicative of a company’s underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by us to measure covenant compliance under the indenture governing our senior secured notes, the indenture governing our senior unsecured notes and the credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility. Operating Cash Flow measures available cash for growth by taking Adjusted EBITDA less maintenance capital expenditures. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Flow may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because not all issuers and analysts calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Flow in the same manner. See the Appendix of this presentation for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Flow to net loss for the Company, which we believe is the most closely comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Flow should be considered in addition to and not as substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

unique and differentiated sales model

Highly effective direct-to-home sales model and control over the sales and installation functions provide the ability to redirect the sales

Flexibility force’s geographic or product focus

Hiring sales force on a seasonal basis avoids a large fixed cost base and permanent office infrastructure

Primarily comprised of seasonal hires that generate on average ~85% of direct-to-home sales between April and August

Scalability • With ~150,000 college students in the Salt Lake metropolitan area, Vivint has a large pool from which to recruit

The efficiency of Vivint’s sales model allows it to originate subscribers at a lower creation cost multiple than competitors, and its

Efficiency consultative approach limits price shopping

• Sales strategy increases density of subscribers, which reduces installation and ongoing field service costs

Proven track record of selling new services to subscribers results in total RMR growing in a very predictable, step -function pattern over

Predictability the April through August sales season

Variable Cost The largest cost for Vivint is associated with the variable cost of acquiring a subscriber

direct-to-home sales (~74% of total LTM adds) (1)

total net subscriber additions by channel

Personalized, custom, consultative in-home sale

89% same day design and installation

More than 2,000 sales representatives in more than 100 locations deployed from April through August

attractive and scalable subscriber economics

New installations are subsidized by the Company, requiring upfront cash outlays per installation

For each new installation, Vivint incurs a “net subscriber acquisition cost“of ~$1,860 / subscriber or ~30x RMR

~$15 per subscriber each month to service an account

New subscriber pays ~$62 RMR on average

Based on these assumptions, Vivint estimates its unlevered IRR is approximately 23%

Vivint organically generates subscribers at the equivalent of ~3.5x Adjusted EBITDA

robust cash flow characteristics

Contractually committed recurring revenues –

Estimated at $672-$684 million as of September 30, 2015

Direct-to-home sales model with highly variable cost structure – allows Vivint to scale its sales effort for free cash flow if needed

Maintenance capital expenditures – 1%-3% of revenues historically (~$5-$15 million per year)

Low attrition – results in lower costs to replace RMR

Not expected to be a taxpayer in the near term –

Vivint has approximately $1.355 billion of U.S. NOLs (2)
