Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of ADT Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In addition, 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. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results of companies acquired are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The interim results reported herein should not be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for future interim periods or the full year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all the footnote disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements. For a more comprehensive understanding of the Company and its interim results, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2022. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Unless otherwise noted, the Company’s accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements as discussed below, or included within the respective footnotes herein, do not materially differ from those disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report.
Segments	Segments The Company has three operating and reportable segments organized based on customer type: Consumer and Small Business (“CSB”), Commercial, and Solar. 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. The accounting policies of the Company’s reportable segments are the same as those of the Company. As discussed in Note 1 “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” the Company reports results in three operating and reportable segments based on the manner in which the CODM evaluates performance and makes decisions about how to allocate resources. The Company organizes its segments based on customer type as follows:
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to select accounting policies and make estimates that affect amounts reported in the condensed 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.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, amends ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and clarifies the scope and guidance of Topic 848 to allow derivatives impacted by the reference rate reform to qualify for certain optional expedients and exceptions for contract modifications and hedge accounting. The guidance is optional and is effective for a limited period of time through December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, this guidance had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. However, the Company will continue to evaluate this guidance in subsequent periods. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”), eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 also requires public business entities to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. It should also be applied prospectively, with an option to apply a modified retrospective transition method in relation to the recognition and measurement of troubled debt restructurings, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, in which case the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance. ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”), clarifies the accounting guidance for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions, stating an entity should not consider the contractual sale restriction when measuring the equity security’s fair value. ASU 2022-03 also introduces new disclosure requirements related to equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions, including the fair value of such equity securities reflected in the balance sheet, the nature and remaining duration of the restrictions, and circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. It should be applied prospectively with any adjustments from the adoption of the amendments recognized in earnings and disclosed on the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.
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. Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted for a specific purpose and cannot be presented within the general cash and cash equivalents account are considered restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents and are reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Subscriber System Assets and Deferred Subscriber Acquisition Costs	Subscriber System Assets and Deferred Subscriber Acquisition Costs Subscriber system assets represent capitalized equipment and installation costs incurred in connection with transactions in which the Company retains ownership of the security system. Upon termination of the contract with the customer, the Company may retrieve such assets. 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as these assets embody a probable future economic benefit for the Company through the generation of future monitoring and related services revenue. 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. The Company depreciates and amortizes these pooled costs using an accelerated method over the estimated life of the customer relationship, which is 15 years.
Radio Conversion Program	Radio Conversion Program The Company commenced a program in 2019 to replace the 3G and Code-Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) cellular equipment used in many of its security systems to prepare for the retirement of the 3G and CDMA networks during 2022. From inception of this program through June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $299 million of radio conversion costs, net of related incremental radio conversion revenue.
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 as applicable from time to time are investments in money market mutual funds. These investments are 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 not material as of June 30, 2022, or December 31, 2021. Retail Installment Contract Receivables - 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 Instruments	Long-Term Debt Instruments - The fair values of the Company’s long-term 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 revolving credit facility and receivables facility approximate their fair values as interest rates on these borrowings approximate current market rates.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments - Derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 8 “Derivative Financial Instruments” for the fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments. The Company's derivative financial instruments primarily consist of LIBOR-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. All interest rate swap contracts are reported in the Condensed 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, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. •Designated as cash flow hedges: Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets 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 included an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception are reflected as cash flows from financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Beginning in March 2020, the Company de-designated interest rate swap contracts previously designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $3.0 billion. As the forecasted cash flows are probable or reasonably possible of occurring, unrealized losses previously recognized as a component of AOCI are reclassified into interest expense, net.
Revenue and Deferred Revenue	Revenue is recognized in the Condensed 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 contract early, contract termination charges are assessed in accordance with the contract terms and are recognized in monitoring and related services revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations when collectability is probable. 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 and (ii) a material right associated with the one-time non-refundable fees 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). Since March 2021, substantially all new CSB transactions have taken place under a Company-owned model. The portion of the transaction price associated with monitoring and related services is recognized when these services are provided to the customer and is reflected in monitoring and related services revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The portion of the transaction price associated with the material right is deferred upon initiation of a monitoring contract and reflected as deferred subscriber acquisition revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 installation, product, and other revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. 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 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets 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 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 The Company’s retail installment contract option for security system transactions occurring under both Company-owned and customer-owned equipment models 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. 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. 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 June 30, 2022, the current and delinquent billed retail installment contract receivables were not material.
Contract Assets	Contract AssetsContract 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 when the Company’s right to the consideration becomes unconditional as additional services are performed and billed. 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.
Receivables Facility	Receivables Facility Under the Receivables Facility, 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”), which then grants a security interest in those retail installment contract receivables as collateral for cash borrowings. The Receivables Facility permits up to $400 million of uncommitted financing secured by the Company’s retail installment contract receivables owned by the SPE. 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 name of the SPE. On a monthly basis, the segregated account is utilized to make required principal, interest, and other payments due under the Receivables Facility. The segregated account is considered restricted cash, and any outstanding balance is reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In May 2022, the Company amended the Receivables Facility to change the benchmark rate from 1-month LIBOR to Daily SOFR. In addition, the May 2022 amendment 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.
Earnings 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 (i) dividends declared and (ii) participation rights in the remaining undistributed earnings (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. Potential shares of Common Stock include (i) incremental shares of Common Stock calculated using the treasury stock method for share-based compensation awards, (ii) incremental shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Class B Common Stock, and (iii) incremental shares of Common Stock calculated using the treasury stock method for warrants to purchase additional shares of Common Stock issued in connection with a business combination. There were no potential shares of Class B Common Stock during the periods presented. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the computation of diluted earnings per share for Common Stock excludes potentially dilutive securities whose effect would have been anti-dilutive in the amounts of approximately 19.9 million shares and 18.6 million shares, respectively, from share-based compensation awards and approximately 0.1 million warrants, respectively, to purchase additional shares of Common Stock. Approximately 9.4 million unvested shares of the Company’s Common Stock are excluded from the basic and diluted earnings per share computations, as their vesting is contingent upon achievement of certain performance requirements which have not been met as of June 30, 2022.
Legal Proceedings	Legal Proceedings The Company is subject to various claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, which include contractual disputes; worker’s compensation; employment matters; product, general, and auto liability claims; claims that the Company has infringed on the intellectual property rights of others; claims related to alleged security system failures; 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. There have been no material changes to these matters from those disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report except as described below. 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 losses for which the likelihood of loss cannot be assessed, is less than probable, or the range of possible loss cannot be estimated.
Company as Lessee	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 2033. 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 fixed at the commencement of a lease and variable lease payments 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.
Company as Lessor	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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. For transactions that do not qualify for the practical expedient as the lease component represents a sales-type lease, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components separately. The Company’s sales-type leases are not material.

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of ADT Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in U.S. dollars in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In addition, 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.

All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results of companies acquired are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The interim results reported herein should not be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for future interim periods or the full year.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date but does not include all the footnote disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements. For a more comprehensive understanding of the Company and its interim results, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Annual Report”), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 1, 2022.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Unless otherwise noted, the Company’s accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements as discussed below, or included within the respective footnotes herein, do not materially differ from those disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report.

Segments

The Company has three operating and reportable segments organized based on customer type: Consumer and Small Business (“CSB”), Commercial, and Solar. 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. The accounting policies of the Company’s reportable segments are the same as those of the Company.

As discussed in Note 1 “Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” the Company reports results in three operating and reportable segments based on the manner in which the CODM evaluates performance and makes decisions about how to allocate resources.

The Company organizes its segments based on customer type as follows:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to select accounting policies and make estimates that affect amounts reported in the condensed 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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, amends ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and clarifies the scope and guidance of Topic 848 to allow derivatives impacted by the reference rate reform to qualify for certain optional expedients and exceptions for contract modifications and hedge accounting. The guidance is optional and is effective for a limited period of time through December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, this guidance had no impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. However, the Company will continue to evaluate this guidance in subsequent periods.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”), eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancings and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. ASU 2022-02 also requires public business entities to disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. It should also be applied prospectively, with an option to apply a modified retrospective transition method in relation to the recognition and measurement of troubled debt restructurings, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, in which case the guidance should be applied as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”), clarifies the accounting guidance for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions, stating an entity should not consider the contractual sale restriction when measuring the equity security’s fair value. ASU 2022-03 also introduces new disclosure requirements related to equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions, including the fair value of such equity securities reflected in the balance sheet, the nature and remaining duration of the restrictions, and circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restrictions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. It should be applied prospectively with any adjustments from the adoption of the amendments recognized in earnings and disclosed on the date of adoption. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

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.

Cash and cash equivalents that are restricted for a specific purpose and cannot be presented within the general cash and cash equivalents account are considered restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents and are reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Subscriber System Assets and Deferred Subscriber Acquisition Costs

Subscriber system assets represent capitalized equipment and installation costs incurred in connection with transactions in which the Company retains ownership of the security system. Upon termination of the contract with the customer, the Company may retrieve such assets. 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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as these assets embody a probable future economic benefit for the Company through the generation of future monitoring and related services revenue.

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. The Company depreciates and amortizes these pooled costs using an accelerated method over the estimated life of the customer relationship, which is 15 years.

Radio Conversion Program

The Company commenced a program in 2019 to replace the 3G and Code-Division Multiple Access (“CDMA”) cellular equipment used in many of its security systems to prepare for the retirement of the 3G and CDMA networks during 2022. From inception of this program through June 30, 2022, the Company incurred $299 million of radio conversion costs, net of related incremental radio conversion revenue.

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 as applicable from time to time are investments in money market mutual funds. These investments are 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 not material as of June 30, 2022, or December 31, 2021.

Retail Installment Contract Receivables - 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 Instruments

Long-Term Debt Instruments - The fair values of the Company’s long-term 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 revolving credit facility and receivables facility approximate their fair values as interest rates on these borrowings approximate current market rates.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments - Derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value as either assets or liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 8 “Derivative Financial Instruments” for the fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments.

The Company's derivative financial instruments primarily consist of LIBOR-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. All interest rate swap contracts are reported in the Condensed 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, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

•Designated as cash flow hedges: Unrealized gains and losses are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets 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 included an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception are reflected as cash flows from financing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Beginning in March 2020, the Company de-designated interest rate swap contracts previously designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $3.0 billion. As the forecasted cash flows are probable or reasonably possible of occurring, unrealized losses previously recognized as a component of AOCI are reclassified into interest expense, net.

Revenue and Deferred Revenue

Revenue is recognized in the Condensed 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 contract early, contract termination charges are assessed in accordance with the contract terms and are recognized in monitoring and related services revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations when collectability is probable.

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 and (ii) a material right associated with the one-time non-refundable fees 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). Since March 2021, substantially all new CSB transactions have taken place under a Company-owned model.

The portion of the transaction price associated with monitoring and related services is recognized when these services are provided to the customer and is reflected in monitoring and related services revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The portion of the transaction price associated with the material right is deferred upon initiation of a monitoring contract and reflected as deferred subscriber acquisition revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 installation, product, and other revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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 in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets 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.

Retail Installment Contract Receivables

The Company’s retail installment contract option for security system transactions occurring under both Company-owned and customer-owned equipment models 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.

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.

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 June 30, 2022, the current and delinquent billed retail installment contract receivables were not material.

Contract Assets

Contract AssetsContract 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 when the Company’s right to the consideration becomes unconditional as additional services are performed and billed. 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.

Receivables Facility

Under the Receivables Facility, 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”), which then grants a security interest in those retail installment contract receivables as collateral for cash borrowings.

The Receivables Facility permits up to $400 million of uncommitted financing secured by the Company’s retail installment contract receivables owned by the SPE. 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 name of the SPE. On a monthly basis, the segregated account is utilized to make required principal, interest, and other payments due under the Receivables Facility. The segregated account is considered restricted cash, and any outstanding balance is reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In May 2022, the Company amended the Receivables Facility to change the benchmark rate from 1-month LIBOR to Daily SOFR. In addition, the May 2022 amendment 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.

Earnings 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 (i) dividends declared and (ii) participation rights in the remaining undistributed earnings (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.

Potential shares of Common Stock include (i) incremental shares of Common Stock calculated using the treasury stock method for share-based compensation awards, (ii) incremental shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Class B Common Stock, and (iii) incremental shares of Common Stock calculated using the treasury stock method for warrants to purchase additional shares of Common Stock issued in connection with a business combination. There were no potential shares of Class B Common Stock during the periods presented.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the computation of diluted earnings per share for Common Stock excludes potentially dilutive securities whose effect would have been anti-dilutive in the amounts of approximately 19.9 million shares and 18.6 million shares, respectively, from share-based compensation awards and approximately 0.1 million warrants, respectively, to purchase additional shares of Common Stock.

Approximately 9.4 million unvested shares of the Company’s Common Stock are excluded from the basic and diluted earnings per share computations, as their vesting is contingent upon achievement of certain performance requirements which have not been met as of June 30, 2022.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to various claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, which include contractual disputes; worker’s compensation; employment matters; product, general, and auto liability claims; claims that the Company has infringed on the intellectual property rights of others; claims related to alleged security system failures; 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. There have been no material changes to these matters from those disclosed in the 2021 Annual Report except as described below.

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 losses for which the likelihood of loss cannot be assessed, is less than probable, or the range of possible loss cannot be estimated.

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 2033. 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 fixed at the commencement of a lease and variable lease payments 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.

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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For transactions that do not qualify for the practical expedient as the lease component represents a sales-type lease, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components separately. The Company’s sales-type leases are not material.
