Exhibit 99.1

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Vivint Smart Home, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Legacy Vivint Smart Home, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Adoption of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09

As discussed in Note 2 and Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2018 the Company has changed its method for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers and its accounting for contract acquisition costs due to the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as amended.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ Ernst & Young LLP

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2011.

The results of operations presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the Company’s results for any future period.

Vivint Flex Pay

The Vivint Flex Pay plan (“Vivint Flex Pay”) became the Company’s primary sales model beginning in March 2017. Under Vivint Flex Pay, customers pay separately for the products (including control panel, security peripheral equipment, smart home equipment, and related installation) (“Products”) and Vivint’s smart home and security services (“Services”). The customer has the following three ways to pay for the Products: (1) qualified customers in the United States may finance the purchase of Products through a third-party financing providers (“Consumer Financing Program”) (2) the Company offers to some customers not eligible for the Consumer Financing Program, but who qualify under the Company’s underwriting criteria, may enter into a retail installment contract (“RIC”) directly with Vivint, or (3) customers may purchase the Products at the outset of the service contract by check, automatic clearing house payments (“ACH”), credit or debit card.

Although customers pay separately for Products and Services under the Vivint Flex Pay plan, the Company has determined that the shift in its sales model does not change the Company’s conclusion that the sale of Products and Services are one single performance obligation. As a result, all forms of transactions under Vivint Flex Pay create deferred revenue for the gross amount of Products sold. Gross deferred revenues are reduced by imputed interest on the RICs and the present value of expected payments due to the third-party financing provider under the Consumer Financing Program.

Under the Consumer Financing Program, qualified customers are eligible for loans provided by third-party financing providers of up to $4,000. The annual percentage rates on these loans range between 0% and 9.99%, based on the customer’s credit quality, and are either installment or revolving loans with a 42 or 60 month term.

For certain third-party provider loans, the Company pays a monthly fee based on either the average daily outstanding balance of the loans or the number of outstanding loans, depending on the third-party financing provider and the Company shares liability for credit losses, with the Company being responsible for between 5% and 100% of lost principal balances. Additionally, the Company is responsible for reimbursing certain third-party financing providers for credit card transaction fees associated with the loans. Because of the nature of these provisions, the Company records a derivative liability at its fair value when the third-party financing provider

 

F-8


originates loans to customers, which reduces the amount of estimated revenue recognized on the provision of the services. The derivative liability is reduced as payments are made by the Company to the third-party financing provider. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the derivative liability are realized through other expenses (income), net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. (See Note 9).

For other third-party loans, the Company receives net proceeds (net of fees and expected losses) for which the Company has no further obligation to the third-party. The Company records these net proceeds to deferred revenue.

Retail Installment Contract Receivables

For subscribers that enter into a RIC to finance the purchase of Products and related installation, the Company records a receivable for the amount financed. Gross RIC receivables are reduced for (i) expected write-offs of uncollectible balances over the term of the RIC and (ii) a present value discount of the expected cash flows using a risk adjusted market interest rate (together, the “RIC Discount”). Therefore, the RIC receivables equal the present value of the expected cash flows to be received by the Company over the term of the RIC. At the time of installation, the Company records a long-term note receivable within long-term notes receivables and other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets for the present value of the receivables that are expected to be collected beyond 12 months of the reporting date. The unbilled receivable amounts that are expected to be collected within 12 months of the reporting date are included as a short-term notes receivable within accounts and notes receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. The billed amounts of notes receivables are included in accounts receivable within accounts and notes receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company imputes the interest on the RIC receivable using a risk adjusted market interest rate and records it as an adjustment to deferred revenue and as an adjustment to the face amount of the related receivable. The risk adjusted interest rate considers a number of factors, including credit quality of the subscriber base and other qualitative considerations such as macro-economic factors. The imputed interest income is recognized over the term of the RIC contract as recurring and other revenue on the consolidated statements of operations.

When the Company determines that there are RIC receivables that have become uncollectible, it records an adjustment to the RIC Discount and reduces the related note receivable balance. On a regular basis, the Company also assesses the level of the RIC Discount balance based on historical RIC write-off trends and adjusts the balance, if necessary. Account balances are written-off if collection efforts are unsuccessful and future collection is unlikely based on the length of time from the day accounts become past due. (See Note 4).

Revenue Recognition

The Company offers its customers smart home services combining Products, including a proprietary control panel, door and window sensors, door locks, security cameras and smoke alarms; installation; and a proprietary back-end cloud platform software and Services. These together create an integrated system that allows the Company’s customers to monitor, control and protect their home (“Smart Home Services”). The Company’s customers are buying this integrated system that provides them with these Smart Home Services. The number and type of Products purchased by a customer depends on their desired functionality. Because the Products and Services included in the customer’s contract are integrated and highly interdependent, and because they must work together to deliver the Smart Home Services, the Company has concluded that installed Products, related installation and Services contracted for by the customer are generally not distinct within the context of the contract and, therefore, constitute a single, combined performance obligation. Revenues for this single, combined performance obligation are recognized on a straight-line basis over the customer’s contract term, which is the period in which the parties to the contract have enforceable rights and obligations. The Company has determined that certain contracts that do not require a long-term commitment for monitoring services by the customer contain a material right to renew the contract, because the customer does not have to purchase Products upon renewal. Proceeds allocated to the material right are recognized over the period benefit, which is generally three years.

 

F-9


The majority of the Company’s subscription contracts are between three and five years in length and are non-cancelable. These contracts with customers generally convert into month-to-month agreements at the end of the initial term, and some customer contracts are month-to-month from inception. Payment for recurring monitoring and other Smart Home Services is generally due in advance on a monthly basis.

Sales of Products and other one-time fees such as service fees or installation fees are invoiced to the customer at the time of sale. Revenues for wireless internet service that were provided by Vivint Wireless Inc. (“Wireless Internet” or “Wireless”) and any Products or Services that are considered separate performance obligations are recognized when those Products or Services are delivered. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in revenue. Payments received or amounts billed in advance of revenue recognition are reported as deferred revenue.

Deferred Revenue

The Company’s deferred revenues primarily consist of amounts for sales (including upfront proceeds) of Smart Home Services. Deferred revenues are recognized over the term of the related performance obligation, which is generally three to five years.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consists primarily of amounts due from customers for recurring monthly monitoring Services and the billed portion of RIC receivables. The accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts and are non-interest bearing and are included within accounts and notes receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Accounts receivable totaled $20.5 million and $16.5 million and December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively net of the allowance for doubtful accounts of $8.1 million and $5.6 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company estimates this allowance based on historical collection experience and subscriber attrition rates. When the Company determines that there are accounts receivable that are uncollectible, they are charged off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The provision for doubtful accounts is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and totaled $25.0 million and $19.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The changes in the Company’s allowance for accounts receivable were as follows for the periods ended (in thousands):

Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

Restructuring and asset impairment charges represent expenses incurred in relation to activities to exit or dispose of portions of the Company’s business that do not qualify as discontinued operations. Liabilities associated with restructuring are measured at their fair value when the liability is incurred. Expenses for related termination benefits are recognized at the date the Company notifies the employee, unless the employee must provide future service, in which case the benefits are expensed ratably over the future service period. Liabilities related to termination of a contract are measured and recognized at fair value when the contract does not have any future economic benefit to the entity and the fair value of the liability is determined based on the present value of the remaining obligation. The Company expenses all other costs related to an exit or disposal activity as incurred (See Note 10).

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Legacy Vivint Smart Home, Inc. and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Capitalized Contract Costs

Capitalized contract costs represent the costs directly related and incremental to the origination of new contracts, modification of existing contracts or to the fulfillment of the related subscriber contracts. These include commissions, other compensation and related costs incurred directly for the origination and installation of new or upgraded customer contracts, as well as the cost of Products installed in the customer home at the commencement or modification of the contract. The Company calculates amortization by accumulating all deferred contract costs into separate portfolios based on the initial month of service and amortizes those deferred contract costs on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit that the Company has determined to be five years, consistent with the pattern in which the Company provides services to its customers. The Company believes this pattern of amortization appropriately reduces the carrying value of the capitalized contract costs over time to reflect the decline in the value of the assets as the remaining period of benefit for each monthly portfolio of contracts decreases. The period of benefit of five years is longer than a typical contract term because of anticipated contract renewals. The Company applies this period of benefit to its entire portfolio of contracts. The Company updates its estimate of the period of benefit periodically and whenever events or circumstances indicate that the period of benefit could change significantly. Such changes, if any, are accounted for prospectively as a change in estimate. Amortization of capitalized contract costs is included in “Depreciation and Amortization” on the consolidated statements of operations.

The carrying amount of the capitalized contract costs is periodically reviewed for impairment. In performing this review, the Company considers whether the carrying amount of the capitalized contract costs will be recovered. In estimating the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in the future related to capitalized contract costs, the Company considers factors such as attrition rates, economic factors, and industry developments, among other factors. If it is determined that capitalized contract costs are impaired, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the capitalized contract costs and the anticipated costs that relate directly to providing the future services exceed the consideration that has been received and that is expected to be received in the future.

Contract costs not directly related and incremental to the origination of new contracts, modification of existing contracts or to the fulfillment of the related subscriber contracts are expensed as incurred. These costs include those associated with housing, marketing and recruiting, non-direct lead generation costs, certain portions of sales commissions and residuals, overhead and other costs considered not directly and specifically tied to the origination of a particular subscriber.

On the consolidated statement of cash flows, capitalized contract costs are classified as operating activities and reported as “Capitalized contract costs—deferred contract costs” as these assets represent deferred costs associated with subscriber contracts.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consists of highly liquid investments with remaining maturities when purchased of three months or less.

Inventories

Inventories, which are comprised of smart home and security system equipment and parts are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with cost determined under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories

 

F-11


sold to customers as part of a smart home and security system are generally capitalized as capitalized contract costs. The Company adjusts the inventories balance based on anticipated obsolescence, usage and historical write-offs.

Property, Plant and Equipment and Long-lived Assets

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term for assets under finance leases, whichever is shorter. Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over the remaining estimated economic life of the underlying technology or relationships, which ranges from 2 to 10 years. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or in a pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible asset are consumed. Amortization expense associated with leased assets is included with depreciation expense. Routine repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred.

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, capitalized contract costs, and definite-lived intangibles for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company considers whether or not indicators of impairment exist on a regular basis and as part of each quarterly and annual financial statement close process. Factors the Company considers in determining whether or not indicators of impairment exist include market factors and patterns of customer attrition. If indicators of impairment are identified, the Company estimates the fair value of the assets. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value.

The Company conducts an indefinite-lived intangible impairment analysis annually as of October 1, and as necessary if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value of the Company’s indefinite-lived intangibles may be less than the carrying amount. When indicators of impairment do not exist and certain accounting criteria are met, the Company is able to evaluate indefinite-lived intangible impairment using a qualitative approach. When necessary, the Company’s quantitative impairment test consists of two steps. The first step requires that the Company compare the estimated fair value of its indefinite-lived intangibles to the carrying value. If the fair value is greater than the carrying value, the intangibles are not considered to be impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss in an amount equal to the difference is recorded.

During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, no impairments to long-lived assets or intangibles were recorded.

The Company’s depreciation and amortization included in the consolidated statements of operations consisted of the following (in thousands):

Wireless Spectrum Licenses

The Company had capitalized as an intangible asset wireless spectrum licenses that were acquired from third parties. The cost basis of the wireless spectrum asset includes the purchase price paid for the licenses at the

 

F-12


time of acquisition, plus costs incurred to acquire the licenses. The asset and related liability were recorded at the net present value of future cash outflows using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the time of acquisition.

The Company determined that the wireless spectrum licenses met the definition of indefinite-lived intangible assets because the licenses were able to be renewed periodically for a nominal fee, provided that the Company continued to meet the service and geographic coverage provisions. In January 2018, the Company terminated the wireless spectrum licenses for cash consideration. See Note 8 for further discussion.

Leases

Effective January 1, 2019 the Company accounts for leases under Topic 842 (see Recently Adopted Accounting Standards below). Under Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. In determining the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the implicit rate when available. When implicit rates are not available, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date. The lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and is reduced by lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company does not record lease ROU assets and liabilities for leases with terms of 12 months or less.

Leases are classified as either operating or finance at lease inception. Operating lease assets and liabilities and finance lease liabilities are stated separately on the consolidated balance sheets. Finance lease assets are included in property, plant and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. For facility type leases, the Company separates the lease and non-lease components. Generally, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all other class of leases.

Prior to the adoption of Topic 842, the Company’s leases were classified as either operating or capital leases. Capital lease liabilities were stated separately on the consolidated balance sheets and capital lease assets were included in property, plant and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Operating leases were not recognized in the balance sheet. Capital lease balances are presented on the same lines as finance lease balances for comparative prior periods in the unaudited consolidated financial statements. See Recently Adopted Accounting Standards below and note 14 “Leases” for additional information related to the impact of adopting Topic 842.

Long-term Investments

The Company’s long-term investments are composed of equity securities in certain companies. As of December 31, 2018, the Company’s equity investments totaled $3.9 million. The Company did not hold any equity security investments as of December 31, 2019.

Management determines the appropriate fair value measurement of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates the fair value measurement at each balance sheet date. Equity securities, are classified as either short-term or long-term, based on the nature of each security and its availability for use in current operations. The Company’s equity securities are carried at fair value, with gains and losses, reported in other income or loss within the statement of operations

The Company performs impairment analyses of its investments without readily determinable fair values when events occur or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of the

 

F-13


investment below its carrying value. When indicators of impairment do not exist, the Company evaluates impairment using a qualitative approach. Additionally, increases or decreases in the carrying amount resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer are adjusted through the statement of operations as needed.

Deferred Financing Costs

Certain costs incurred in connection with obtaining debt financing are deferred and amortized utilizing the straight-line method, which approximates the effective-interest method, over the life of the related financing. Deferred financing costs associated with obtaining APX’s revolving credit facility are amortized over the amended maturity dates discussed in Note 5. Deferred costs associated with the revolving credit facility reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as deferred financing costs, net at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $1.1 million and $2.1 million, net of accumulated amortization of $10.6 million and $9.6 million, respectively. Deferred financing costs included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets within notes payable, net at December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $27.0 million and $32.4 million, net of accumulated amortization of $63.5 million and $54.6 million, respectively. Amortization expense on deferred financing costs recognized and included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations totaled $9.8 million, $10.4 million and $11.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Offering Costs

Specific incremental costs (i.e. consisting of legal, accounting and other fees and costs) directly attributable to a proposed or actual offering of securities are deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the offering. In the event a planned offering of securities does not occur or is significantly delayed, all of the costs are expensed. There were $6.2 million of offering costs capitalized as of December 31, 2019, in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Offering costs of $0.2 million and $4.7 million were expensed to general and administrative expenses in the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, when offering plans were delayed.

Residual Income Plans

The Company has a program that allows certain third-party sales channel partners to receive additional compensation based on the performance of the underlying contracts they create (the “Channel Partner Plan”). The Company also has a residual sales compensation plan (the “Residual Plan”) under which the Company’s sales personnel (each, a “Plan Participant”) receive compensation based on the performance of the underlying contracts they create.

For both the Channel Partner Plan and Residual Plan, the Company calculates the present value of the expected future residual payments and records a liability for this amount in the period the subscriber account is originated. These costs are recorded to capitalized contract costs. The Company monitors actual payments and customer attrition on a periodic basis and, when necessary, makes adjustments to the liability. The amount included in accrued payroll and commissions was $4.5 million and $4.5 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and the amount included in other long-term obligations was $20.7 million and $13.0 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation cost based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes that cost over the requisite service period of the awards (See Note 12).

 

F-14


Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $60.4 million, $47.2 million and $42.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes based on the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets when it is determined that it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company recognizes the effect of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties is to record such items as a component of the provision for income taxes.

Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. 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. Future tax rate or law changes could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows (See Note 11).

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist principally of receivables and cash. At times during the year, the Company maintains cash balances in excess of insured limits. The Company is not dependent on any single customer or geographic location. The loss of a customer would not adversely impact the Company’s operating results or financial position.

Concentrations of Supply Risk

As of December 31, 2019, approximately 88% of the Company’s installed panels were SkyControl panels, 12% were 2GIG Go!Control panels. During 2018 the Company transitioned to a new panel supplier. The loss of the Company’s panel supplier could potentially impact its operating results or financial position.

Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities subject to on-going fair value measurement are categorized and disclosed into one of three categories depending on observable or unobservable inputs employed in the measurement. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.

 

F-15


This hierarchy requires the Company to minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to use observable market data, if available, when determining fair value. The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the hierarchy based on the fair values of the respective financial measurements at the end of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred. There were no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued and other liabilities approximate their fair values due to their short maturities.

Goodwill

The Company conducts a goodwill impairment analysis annually in the fourth fiscal quarter, as of October 1, and as necessary if changes in facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units may be less than their carrying amounts. When indicators of impairment do not exist and certain accounting criteria are met, the Company is able to evaluate goodwill impairment using a qualitative approach. When necessary, the Company’s quantitative goodwill impairment test consists of two steps. The first step requires that the Company compare the estimated fair value of its reporting units to the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets, including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than the carrying value of its net assets, goodwill is not considered to be impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value of its net assets, the Company would be required to complete the second step of the test by analyzing the fair value of its goodwill. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded. The Company’s reporting units are determined based on its current reporting structure, which as of December 31, 2019 consisted of one reporting unit. The Company found that no indicators of goodwill impairment existed during the year ended December 31, 2019, thus a qualitative approach was used and it was determined that no impairment existed for goodwill.

During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, no impairments to goodwill were recorded.

Foreign Currency Translation and Other Comprehensive Income

The functional currency of Vivint Canada, Inc. is the Canadian dollar. Accordingly, Vivint Canada, Inc. assets and liabilities are translated from their respective functional currencies into U.S. dollars at period-end rates and Vivint Canada, Inc. revenue and expenses are translated at the weighted-average exchange rates for the period. Adjustments resulting from this translation process are classified as other comprehensive (loss) income and shown as a separate component of equity.

When intercompany foreign currency transactions between entities included in the consolidated financial statements are of a long term investment nature (i.e., those for which settlement is not planned or anticipated in the foreseeable future) foreign currency translation adjustments resulting from those transactions are included in stockholders’ (deficit) equity as accumulated other comprehensive loss or income. When intercompany transactions are deemed to be of a short term nature, translation adjustments are required to be included in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company has determined that settlement of Vivint Canada, Inc. intercompany balances are anticipated and therefore such balances are deemed to be of a short-term nature. Translation activity included in the statements of operations in other loss, net related to intercompany balances was a gain of $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, a loss of $7.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, and a gain of $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Letters of Credit

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $11.1 million and $13.8 million, respectively, of letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business, all of which are undrawn.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)” which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019 and must be applied using a modified-retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2016-13 to have an impact on the accounting for accounts receivable and RICs included in accounts and notes receivable, net and long-term notes receivables and other assets, net in the balance sheets and is still evaluating the extent of such impact.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

ASU 2016-02

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” to increase transparency and comparability among organizations as it relates to lease assets and lease liabilities. The update requires that lease assets and lease liabilities be recognized on the balance sheet, and that key information about leasing arrangements be disclosed. Prior to this update, GAAP did not require operating leases to be recognized as lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019, utilizing the modified retrospective approach and using certain practical expedients. The adoption of the standard resulted in recording ROU assets of $75.5 million and lease liabilities of $85.9 million as of January 1, 2019. The ROU assets are lower than the lease liabilities as existing deferred rent and lease incentive liabilities were recorded against the ROU assets at adoption in accordance with the standard. The standard did not materially affect the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or its consolidated statements of cash flows. The standard also resulted in a reassessment that a sale would have occurred at January 1, 2019 for the Company’s build-to-suit building. As a result, the Company classifies the leasing arrangement as an operating lease. The recognition of the sale-leaseback transaction resulted in an immaterial amount recorded to opening equity. See Note 6 for additional information on the sale-leaseback transaction. See Note 14 “Leases” for additional information related to the impact of adopting this standard.

ASU 2014-09

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605).” Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, Topic 606 requires enhanced disclosures, including disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Topic 606 also includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers, which requires the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Collectively, the Company refers to Topic 606 and Subtopic 340-40 as the “new standard”.

The Company adopted the new standard as of January 1, 2018, utilizing the modified retrospective method of transition (the cumulative catch-up transition method). Adoption of the new standard resulted in changes to the accounting policies for revenue recognition, deferred revenue, and capitalized contract costs (formerly subscriber acquisition costs). The cumulative effect of applying the new standard to all contracts with customers that were not completed as of January 1, 2018 was recorded as an adjustment to accumulated deficit as of the adoption date. The comparative information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2017 has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under Topic 605. See Note 3 “Revenue and Capitalized Contract Costs” for additional information related to the impact of adopting this standard and a discussion of the Company’s updated policies related to revenue recognition and accounting for costs to obtain and fulfill a customer contract.

3. Revenue and Capitalized Contract Costs

Customers are typically invoiced for Smart Home Services in advance or at the time the Company delivers the related Smart Home Services. The majority of customers pay at the time of invoice via credit card, debit card or ACH. Deferred revenue relates to the advance consideration received from customers, which precedes the Company’s satisfaction of the associated performance obligation. The Company’s deferred revenues primarily result from customer payments received in advance for recurring monthly monitoring and other Smart Home Services, or other one-time fees, because these performance obligations are satisfied over time.

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized revenues of $225.9 million and $144.1 million, respectively, that were included in the deferred revenue balance as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations

As of December 31, 2019, approximately $2.6 billion of revenue is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for subscription contracts. The Company expects to recognize approximately 61% of the revenue related to these remaining performance obligations over the next 24 months, with the remaining balance recognized over an additional 36 months.

Timing of Revenue Recognition

The Company previously recognized certain service and other sales revenue when the Services were provided or when title to Products sold transferred to the subscriber. Revenue from the sale of Products that were not part of the service offering (i.e., those Products sold subsequent to the date of the initial installation) were also generally recognized upon delivery of Products. Under the new standard, the Company considers Products, related installation, and its proprietary back-end cloud platform software and services an integrated system that allows the Company’s subscribers to monitor, control and protect their homes. These Smart Home Services are accounted for as a single performance obligation that is recognized over the subscriber’s contract term. Accordingly, the Company now defers a larger portion of certain Smart Home Services revenue, as prior to the adoption of Topic 606 certain of this revenue was recognized at the time services were provided or upon delivery.

The Company previously amortized deferred revenues related to sales of Products and activation fees on subscriber contracts over the expected life of the customer, which was 15 years using a 240% declining balance method. Under the new standard, revenues related to sales of Products and activation fees are included in the transaction price allocated to the single Smart Home Service performance obligation and recognized straight-line over the subscriber’s contract term, which is generally three to five years.

Capitalized Contract Costs

Capitalized contract costs generally include commissions, other compensation and related costs incurred directly for the generation and installation of new or modified subscriber contracts, as well as the cost of Products installed in the subscriber’s home at the commencement or modification of the contract. The Company

 

F-19


previously deferred and amortized these costs for new subscriber contracts in the same manner as deferred revenue and generally expensed all costs associated with modified subscriber contracts. Under the new standard, the Company defers and amortizes these costs for new or modified subscriber contracts on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit of five years.

4. Retail Installment Contract Receivables

Certain subscribers have the option to purchase Products under a RIC, payable over either 42 or 60 months. Short-term RIC receivables are recorded in accounts and notes receivable, net and long-term RIC receivables are recorded in long-term notes receivables and other assets, net in the consolidated balance sheets.

During year ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the amount of RIC imputed interest income recognized in recurring and other revenue was $13.6 million, $14.9 million and $7.3 million, respectively.

Change in Accounting Estimate in 2019

RIC receivables are recorded at their present value, net of the RIC Discount. The Company records the RIC Discount as an adjustment to deferred revenue and as an adjustment to the face amount of the related receivable. The RIC Discount considers a number of factors, including collection experience, credit quality of the subscriber base and other qualitative considerations such as macro-economic factors.

In the third quarter of 2019, with over two years of RIC customer history, the Company believed that it had sufficient data and experience from RIC receivables to reevaluate the remaining RIC Discount. The Company determined that actual RIC write-offs were trending higher than the expected write-offs used in the original estimates. Therefore, the Company determined that it was necessary to adjust the remaining RIC Discount balance primarily associated with subscribers originated in 2017 and 2018, to reflect the new estimate of the present value of cash expected to be collected over the remaining contractual periods.

In accordance with this change in accounting estimate, in the third quarter of 2019 the Company increased the RIC Discount and recognized an adjustment to revenue to record the proportional amount related to performance obligations that have already been delivered and the remaining amount (related to undelivered

 

F-20


performance obligations) to deferred revenue. The Company recorded a total increase to the RIC Discount of $26.6 million, with a decrease to deferred revenue of $17.5 million and a decrease to recurring and other revenue of $9.1 million. The decrease to revenue resulted in a corresponding increase to net loss for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Revolving Credit Facility

On November 16, 2012, APX entered into a $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, with a five year maturity. On March 6, 2015, APX amended and restated the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility to provide for, among other things, (1) an increase in the aggregate commitments previously available to APX thereunder from $200.0 million to $289.4 million (“Revolving Commitments”) and (2) the extension of the maturity date with respect to certain of the previously available commitments. On August 10, 2017, APX further amended and restated the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility to provide for, among other things, (1) an increase in the aggregate commitments previously available to the Company from $289.4 million to $324.3 million and (2) the extension of the maturity date with respect to certain of the previously available commitments.

Borrowings under the amended and restated revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at APX’s option, either (1) the base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (c) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for an interest period of one month, plus 1.00% or (2) the LIBOR rate determined by reference to the London interbank offered rate for dollars for the interest period relevant to such borrowing. The applicable margin for base rate-based borrowings (1)(a) under the Series A Revolving Commitments of approximately $267.0 million is 2.0% per annum and (b) under the Series B Revolving Commitments of approximately $21.2 million was 3.0% and (2)(a) the applicable margin for LIBOR rate-based borrowings (a) under the Series A Revolving Commitments is currently 3.0% per annum and (b) under the Series B Revolving Commitments is currently 4.0%. The applicable margin for borrowings under the revolving credit facility is subject to one step-down of 25 basis points based on APX meeting a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio test at the end of each fiscal quarter. Outstanding borrowings under the amended and restated revolving credit facility are allocated on a pro-rata basis between each Series based on the total Revolving Commitments.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the revolving credit facility, APX is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee (which will be subject to one interest rate step-down of 12.5 basis points, based on APX meeting a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio test) to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. APX also pays customary letter of credit and agency fees.

APX is not required to make any scheduled amortization payments under the revolving credit facility. The Series D Revolving Commitments of $15.4 million expired effective April 1, 2019 and the principal amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility will be due and payable in full with respect to the extended commitments under the Series A Revolving Credit Facility and Series B Revolving Credit Facility on March 31, 2021, unless, under “Springing Maturity” provisions, on September 1, 2020 (the 91st day prior to the maturity of the 2020 notes) more than an aggregate principal amount of $250.0 million of such 2020 notes remain outstanding or have not been refinanced as permitted under note purchase agreement for the 2020 notes, in which case the principal amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility will mature on September 1, 2020.

 

F-25


As of December 31, 2019 there was $245.0 million outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2018, there was no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $32.1 million of availability under the revolving credit facility (after giving effect to $11.1 million of outstanding letters of credit and $245.0 million of borrowings).

Guarantees

All of the obligations under the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility, the credit agreement governing the Term Loan and the debt agreements governing the Notes are guaranteed by APX Group Holdings, Inc. and each of APX Group, Inc.’s existing and future material wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiaries. However, such subsidiaries shall only be required to guarantee the obligations under the debt agreements governing the Notes for so long as such entities guarantee the obligations under the revolving credit facility, the credit agreement governing the Term Loan or the Company’s other indebtedness.

Amortization expense relates to assets under finance leases as included in depreciation and amortization expense.

As a result of implementing ASU 2016-02, effective January 1, 2019 the Company’s build-to-suit leasing arrangement was considered a sale-leaseback and is classified as an operating lease. This resulted in a reduction to property, plant and equipment, net of $6.1 million and a reduction of $6.6 million related the financing lease obligation within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term obligations. See Note 12 “Leases” for additional information related to the impact of adopting ASU 2016-02.

In May 2019, the Company acquired majority ownership interest in CrowdStorage, Inc. (“CrowdStorage”), a distributed cloud storage solution company. The Company determined that CrowdStorage was a variable interest entity and the Company was the primary beneficiary, because CrowdStorage was dependent on the Company for ongoing financial support. As part of this acquisition, the Company recognized a definite-lived intangible asset of $1.8 million, included within the other technology asset class in the above table. The financial position and results of operations of CrowdStorage are consolidated by the Company and the non-controlling interest associated with the minority interest holders was immaterial as of, and for, the year ended December 31, 2019.

In January 2018, Vivint Wireless and Verizon consummated the transactions contemplated by a termination agreement to which the parties agreed, among other things, to terminate the spectrum leases between Vivint Wireless and Nextlink, a subsidiary of Verizon, in exchange for a cash payment by Verizon to Vivint Wireless. The calculation of the gain recorded included cash proceeds of $55.0 million, extinguishment of the spectrum license liability of $27.9 million, offset by the write-off of the spectrum license asset in the amount of $31.3 million and regulatory costs associated with the sale of $1.3 million for a total net gain on sale of $50.4 million which is included in other income, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company added $1.2 million and $1.7 million of intangible assets related to patents, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets was approximately $80.5 million, $90.9 million and $101.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

The Notes are fixed-rate debt and considered Level 2 fair value measurements as the value was determined using observable market inputs, such as current interest rates as well as prices observable from less active markets. The Term Loan is floating-rate debt and approximates the carrying value as interest accrues at floating rates based on market rates.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Under the Consumer Financing Program, the Company pays a monthly fee to third-party financing providers based on either the average daily outstanding balance of the loans or the number of outstanding loans depending on third-party financing provider. The Company also shares the liability for credit losses, depending on the credit quality of the customer. Because of the nature of certain provisions under the Consumer Financing Program, the Company records a derivative liability that is not designated as a hedging instrument and is adjusted to fair value, measured using the present value of the estimated future payments. Changes to the fair value are recorded through other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The following represent the contractual obligations with the third-party financing providers under the Consumer Financing Program that are components of the derivative:

 

   

The Company pays either a monthly fee based on the average daily outstanding balance of the loans, or the number of outstanding loans, depending on the third-party financing provider

 

   

The Company shares the liability for credit losses depending on the credit quality of the customer

 

   

The Company pays transactional fees associated with customer payment processing

The derivative is classified as a Level 3 instrument. The derivative positions are valued using a discounted cash flow model, with inputs consisting of available market data, such as market yield discount rates, as well as unobservable internally derived assumptions, such as collateral prepayment rates, collateral default rates and loss severity rates. These derivatives are priced quarterly using a credit valuation adjustment methodology. In summary, the fair value represents an estimate of the present value of the cash flows the Company will be obligated to pay to the third-party financing provider for each component of the derivative.

10. Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

Restructuring

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company announced a number of cost reduction initiatives that are expected to reduce certain of the Company’s General and Administrative, Customer Service, and Sales Support fixed costs. The Company completed the majority of these cost reduction initiatives in the second and third quarters of 2018, with the remainder by the end of 2018. In addition to resulting in meaningful cost reductions, the Company’s initiatives are expected to streamline operations, focus engineering and innovation and provide a better focus on driving customer satisfaction.

As part of these initiatives, the Company and Best Buy agreed in principle to end the co-branded Best Buy Smart Home by Vivint arrangement (“Best Buy Agreement”), which resulted in the elimination of in-store sales positions. In addition, the Company eliminated other general and administrative positions. These actions resulted in one-time cash employee severance and termination benefits expenses of $4.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company formally terminated its relationship with Best Buy in December 2018 and agreed to pay a termination fee of $5.5 million. The difference between the termination fee and all previously recorded liabilities relating to the Company’s Best Buy Agreement was recorded as a reduction to capitalized contract costs.

Wireless Spin-Off

On July 31, 2019, the Company completed a spin-off of its Wireless subsidiary. In connection with the spin-off, the equity interests of Wireless were distributed to the shareholders of Vivint Smart Home pro rata based on their respective holdings. As a result of the spin-off, the Company’s additional paid-in capital was decreased by the net assets of Wireless of $4.8 million, as of the effective date of the spin-off. The spin-off does not represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

The results of Wireless are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statement up through July 31, 2019. The following financial information presents the results of operations of Wireless for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017:

U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2026, if not used. State net operating loss carryforwards expire over different periods and some have already begun to expire. The Company had United States research and development credits of approximately $41,000 at December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, which begin to expire in 2030.

Canadian net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2029.

Realization of the Company’s federal and state net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to their expiration. Although a portion of these net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to the provisions of Internal Revenue Code Section 382, the Company has not performed a formal study to determine the amount of any limitation. The use of the net operating loss carryforwards may have additional limitations resulting from future ownership changes or other factors under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

On December 22, 2017, Congress enacted the Tax Act, which made significant changes to U.S. federal income tax laws, including reducing the corporate rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Tax Act

 

F-34


included a Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provision which introduced a new tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible business property of foreign subsidiaries. The GILTI provisions of the Tax Act became effective for the Company during 2018 and it elected to account for it in the period incurred (the “period cost method”).

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against its U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets as it believes it is more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes, recording valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets and evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax positions. The Company has considered and weighed the available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on available information, management does not believe it is more likely than not that all of its deferred tax assets will be utilized. The Company recorded a valuation allowance for U.S. net deferred tax assets of approximately $566.5 million and $467.7 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s income tax returns for the tax years 2014 and later, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and various state taxing authorities.

12. Stock-Based Compensation and Equity

Retroactively restated for the reverse recapitalization as described in Note 21.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Company’s subsidiary, Vivint Group, Inc. (“Vivint Group”), has awarded Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) to various levels of key employees and board members, pursuant to an omnibus incentive plan. The purpose of the SARs is to attract and retain personnel and provide an opportunity to acquire an equity interest of Vivint Group and/or its direct or indirect parents. Prior to the Modification in June 2018, the SARs were subject to time-based and performance-based vesting conditions, with (1) one-third subject to ratable time-based vesting over a five year period from the applicable vesting reference date and (2) two-thirds subject to the achievement of certain investment return thresholds by Blackstone. Pursuant to the Modification the Incentive Units are subject to time-based and performance-based vesting conditions, with (1) one-third subject to ratable time-based vesting over a five year period from the applicable vesting reference date, (2) one-third subject to the achievement of certain investment return thresholds by Blackstone and (3) one-third subject to ratable time-based vesting over a five year period from June 2018 for those granted prior to the Modification or the applicable vesting reference date for those granted on or following the Modification. The Company has not recorded any expense related to the performance-based portion of the awards, as the achievement of the vesting condition is not yet deemed probable. In connection with this plan, 3,603,537 SARs were outstanding as of December 31, 2019. In addition, 4,633,738 SARs have been set aside for funding incentive compensation pools pursuant to long-term sales and installation employee incentive plans established by the Company. In the event of a change of control, all outstanding SARs with time-based vesting conditions will become fully vested and exercisable. The Company expects to settle SARs through issuance of common stock.

The fair value of the Vivint Group awards is measured at the grant date, or the Modification date, and is recognized as expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: expected volatility varies from 55% to 125%, expected dividends of 0%; expected exercise term between 6.00 and 6.50 years; and risk-free rates between 0.61% and 2.61%. Due to the lack of historical exercise data, the Company used the simplified method in determining the estimated exercise term, for all Vivint Group awards.

As of December 31, 2019, there was $6.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding Vivint awards, which will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.55 years. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the weighted average grant date fair value per share of the outstanding SARs was $3.47 and $2.66, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

In March 2019 and June 2018, the Company’s subsidiary, Vivint Group, awarded 20,569 and 31,360 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), respectively, to certain board members, pursuant to an omnibus incentive plan. The purpose of the RSUs is to compensate board members for their board service and align their interests of those of the Company’s shareholders. The RSUs are subject to a three year time-based ratable vesting period. 34,342 RSUs are expected to vest after December 31, 2019 and 17,171 are exercisable at December 31, 2019. In the event of a change of control, all outstanding RSUs will become fully vested.

The fair value of the RSU awards, representing the estimated equity value per share of Vivint Group at the grant date, is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The fair values are determined using management’s financial projections and available market data at the time of issuance. The grant date fair value per share of the outstanding RSUs was $12.50 for the March 2019 issuance and $5.55 for the June 2018 issuance. As of December 31, 2019, there was $0.2 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding RSUs, which will be recognized over a period of 1.62 years.

Stock-based compensation expense in connection with all stock-based awards for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 is allocated as follows (in thousands):

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Indemnification

Subject to certain limitations, the Company is obligated to indemnify its current and former directors, officers and employees with respect to certain litigation matters and investigations that arise in connection with their service to the Company. These obligations arise under the terms of its certificate of incorporation, its bylaws, applicable contracts, and Delaware and California law. The obligation to indemnify generally means that the Company is required to pay or reimburse these individuals’ reasonable legal expenses and possibly damages and other liabilities incurred in connection with these matters.

Legal

The Company is named from time to time as a party to lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business related to its sales, marketing, and the provision of its services and equipment claims. Actions filed against the Company include commercial, intellectual property, customer, and labor and employment related claims, including complaints of alleged wrongful termination and potential class action lawsuits regarding alleged violations of federal and state wage and hour and other laws. In addition, from time to time the Company is subject to examinations, investigations and/or enforcement actions by federal and state licensing and regulatory agencies and may face the risk of penalties for violation of financial services, consumer protections and other applicable laws and regulations. For example, in 2019, the Company received a subpoena in connection with an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) concerning potential violations of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (“FIRREA”). The Company also has received a civil investigative demand from the staff of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) concerning potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) and the “Red Flags Rule” thereunder, and the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTC Act”). In general, litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of legal proceedings are difficult to predict and the costs incurred in litigation can be substantial. The Company believes the amounts provided in its financial statements are adequate in light of the probable and estimated liabilities. Factors that the Company considers in the determination of the likelihood of a loss and the estimate of the range of that loss in respect of legal matters include the merits of a particular matter, the nature of the matter, the length of time the matter has been pending, the procedural posture of the matter, how the Company intends to defend the matter, the likelihood of settling the matter and the anticipated range of a possible settlement. Because such matters are subject to many uncertainties, the ultimate outcomes are not predictable and there can be no assurances that the actual amounts required to satisfy alleged

 

F-37


liabilities from the matters described above will not exceed the amounts reflected in the Company’s financial statements or that the matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

The Company regularly reviews outstanding legal claims and actions to determine if reserves for expected negative outcomes of such claims and actions are necessary. The Company had reserves for all such matters of approximately $1.8 million and $2.5 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In conjunction with one of the settlements, the Company is obligated to pay certain future royalties, based on sales of future Products.

During the year ended December 31, 2017 the Company accrued $10.0 million related to the settlement of litigation with ADT Inc. included in accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company paid the full amount in early 2018.

Operating Leases

The Company leases office and warehouse space, certain equipment, software and an aircraft under operating leases with related and unrelated parties expiring in various years through 2028. The leases require the Company to pay additional rent for increases in operating expenses and real estate taxes and contain renewal options. Total rent expense for all operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $16.5 million and $17.0 million, respectively. See Note 14 “Leases” for additional information related to the impact of adopting Topic 842.

Capital Leases

The Company also enters into certain capital leases with expiration dates through May 2022. On an ongoing basis, the Company enters into vehicle lease agreements under a Fleet Lease Agreement. The lease agreements are typically 36 to 48 month leases for each vehicle. As of December 31, 2018, the capital lease obligation balance was $13.3 million. See Note 14 “Leases” for additional information related to the impact of adopting Topic 842.

Spectrum Licenses

During the year ended December 31, 2016, Vivint Wireless, Inc. (“Vivint Wireless”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into leasing agreements with Nextlink Wireless, LLC (“Nextlink”) for designated radio frequency spectrum in 40 mid-sized metropolitan markets. In December 2017, Vivint Wireless entered into a Termination Agreement with Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”) pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to terminate certain spectrum leases, including the 40 aforementioned leasing agreements, between Vivint Wireless and Nextlink, a subsidiary of Verizon, in exchange for cash consideration. In January 2018, the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Termination Agreement with Verizon. See Note 8 for further discussion.

In addition to the commitments mentioned above, the Company had other purchase obligations of $48.6 million as of December 31, 2019 that consisted of commitments related to software licenses, marketing activities, and other goods and services.

14. Leases

The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, warehouse facilities, research and development and other operating facilities, an aircraft, and other operating assets. The Company has finance leases for vehicles, office equipment and other warehouse equipment. The leases have remaining terms of 1 year to 9 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 10 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year.

15. Related Party Transactions

Transactions with Vivint Solar

The Company is a party to a number of agreements with its sister company, Vivint Solar, Inc. (“Solar”). Historically, some of those agreements related to Solar’s use of certain of the Company’s information technology and infrastructure services; however, Solar stopped using such services in July 2017. In August 2017, the Company entered into a sales dealer agreement with Solar, pursuant to which each company agreed to act as a non-exclusive dealer for the other party to market, promote and sell each other’s products. During the year ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 the Company charged $9.2 million, $17.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively of net expenses to Solar in connection with these agreements and was included in selling expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The balance due from Solar in connection with these agreements and other expenses paid on Solar’s behalf was $2.2 million at December 31, 2019, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2018 the balance due from Solar was immaterial.

Other Related-party Transactions

The Company incurred additional expenses during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, of approximately $2.5 million, $2.7 million, $3.5 million, respectively, for other related-party transactions including contributions to the charitable organization Vivint Gives Back, legal fees, and other services. These expenses were included in selling and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities at December 31, 2019 and 2018 included net payables associated with these related-party transactions of $1.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

On July 31, 2019, in an effort to deliver additional cost savings and cash-flow improvements, the Company completed a spin-off of Wireless, its wireless internet business. Associated with the spin-off, the Company and Wireless entered into a Transition Service Agreement (“TSA”) According to the TSA, Vivint performs specified services for Wireless, including human resources, information technology, and facilities. The Company invoices Wireless on a monthly basis for these agreed upon services. Additionally, Vivint cross charges Wireless for items not included in the TSA but that are paid for by Vivint on behalf of Wireless. Transactions associated with these services were $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company recorded a reserve against the full balance due from Wireless in connection with the TSA as of December 31, 2019.

On November 16, 2012, the Company was acquired by an investor group comprised of certain investment funds affiliated with Blackstone Capital Partners VI L.P., and certain co-investors and management investors through certain mergers and related reorganization transactions (collectively, the “Transaction”). In connection

 

F-40


with the Transaction, the Company engaged Blackstone Management Partners L.L.C. (“BMP”) to provide monitoring, advisory and consulting services on an ongoing basis. In consideration for these services, the Company agreed to pay an annual monitoring fee equal to the greater of (i) a minimum base fee of $2.7 million subject to adjustments if the Company engages in a business combination or disposition that is deemed significant and (ii) the amount of the monitoring fee paid in respect of the immediately preceding fiscal year, without regard to any post-fiscal year “true-up” adjustments as determined by the agreement. The Company incurred expenses for such services of approximately $5.6 million, $4.1 million and $3.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively and was included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities at December 31, 2018 included a liability of $4.8 million to BMP related to the monitoring fee.

Under the support and services agreement, the Company also engaged BMP to arrange for Blackstone’s portfolio operations group to provide support services customarily provided by Blackstone’s portfolio operations group to Blackstone’s private equity portfolio companies of a type and amount determined by such portfolio services group to be warranted and appropriate. BMP will invoice the Company for such services based on the time spent by the relevant personnel providing such services during the applicable period but in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay more than $1.5 million during any calendar year. During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 the Company incurred no costs associated with such services. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2019 the Company agreed to reimburse Blackstone for $1.8 million of certain other fees incurred by Blackstone for activities related to the Company and was included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The full amount was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of December 31, 2019.

An affiliate of Blackstone participated as one of the arrangers in the Term Loan in September 2018 and as one of the initial purchasers in connection with the offering of the 2024 Notes in May 2019 and received approximately $1.2 million of total fees associated with these transactions.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P., an affiliate of Blackstone participated as one of the initial purchasers of the 2022 notes in the February 2017 issuance and the 2023 notes in the August 2017 issuance and received fees at the time of closing of such issuances aggregating approximately $0.6 million.

In addition, GSO Capital Partners, an affiliate of Blackstone, is a participating lender in the Term Loan and receives proportional interest payments of the outstanding debt held. As of December 31, 2019, GSO Capital Partners holds $103.6 million of outstanding aggregate principal of the Term Loan.

In each of July 2019 and September 2018, 313 Acquisition LLC contributed $4.7 million to the Company as a capital contribution.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2018 included a receivable for $1.8 million, from certain members of management in regards to their personal use of the corporate jet.

From time to time, the Company does business with a number of other companies affiliated with Blackstone.

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out at an arm’s-length basis.

     United States      Canada      Total  

Revenue from external customers

        

Year ended December 31, 2019

   $ 1,083,756      $ 72,225      $ 1,155,981

   $ 816,026      $ 65,957      $ 881,983  

17. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company offers eligible employees the opportunity to contribute a percentage of their earned income into company-sponsored 401(k) plans.

Since January 2018, participants in the 401(k) plans have been eligible for the Company’s matching program. Under this new matching program, the Company matches an employee’s contributions to the 401(k) savings plan dollar-for-dollar up to 1% of such employee’s eligible earnings and $0.50 for every $1.00 for the next 5% of such employee’s eligible earnings. The maximum match available under the 401(k) plan is 3.5% of the employee’s eligible earnings. For employees who have been employed by the Company for less than two years, matching contributions vest on the second anniversary of their date of hire. The Company’s matching contributions to employees who have been employed by the Company for two years or more are fully vested.

Matching contributions that were made to the plans during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 totaled $6.5 million and $6.0 million, respectively. No matching contributions were made to the plans for the year ended December 31, 2017.

18. Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Retroactively restated for the reverse recapitalization as described in Note 21.

The Company computes basic loss per share by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could be exercised or converted into common shares, and is computed by dividing net earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive shares to purchase common stock.

The following table sets forth the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted net loss attributable per share to common stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017:

(B) Earnout

Following the closing of the Merger, holders of Vivint common stock and holders of Rollover Restricted Stock (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and outstanding Rollover Equity Awards (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will have the contingent right to receive, in the aggregate, up to 37,500,000 shares of Common Stock if, from the closing of the Merger until the fifth anniversary thereof, the dollar volume-weighted average price of Common Stock exceeds certain thresholds. The first issuance of 12,500,000 earnout shares will occur if the volume-weighted average price of Common Stock exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “First Earnout”). The second issuance of 12,500,000 earnout shares will occur if the volume weighted average price of Common Stock exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “Second Earnout”). The third issuance of 12,500,000 earnout shares will occur if the volume weighted average price of Common Stock exceeds $17.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “Third Earnout”) (as further described in the Merger Agreement).

Subsequent to the closing of the Merger, the cumulative issuance of 34,988,387 net earnout shares occurred resulting from the attainment of the First Earnout in February 2020, the Second Earnout in March 2020 and the Third Earnout in September 2020. The difference in the shares issued in the earnouts and the aggregate amounts defined in the Merger Agreement above are attributable to unissued shares reserved for future issuance to holders of Rollover Equity Awards, which are subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the underlying Rollover Equity Awards.

(C) Refinancing Transactions

APX used the net proceeds from the 2027 Notes offering and Concurrent Refinancing Transactions, together with the proceeds from the Merger, to (i) redeem all of APX’s outstanding 8.750% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes Redemption”), (ii) redeem all of APX’s outstanding 8.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Private Placement Notes Redemption”), (iii) refinance in full the existing borrowings under APX’s existing term loan facility and revolving credit facility, (iv) redeem $223.0 million aggregate principal amount of APX’s outstanding 7.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “Existing 7.875% Notes Redemption” and, together with the 2020 Notes Redemption and the 2022 Private Placement Notes Redemption, the “Redemptions”) and (v) pay the related accrued interest, fees and expenses related thereto. APX irrevocably deposited funds with the applicable trustee and/or paying agent to effect the Redemptions and to satisfy and discharge all of APX’s remaining obligations under the indenture governing APX’s 8.750% Senior Notes due 2020 and the note purchase agreement governing APX’s 8.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2022. Vivint intends to use any remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of additional indebtedness.
