Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2013 Results

Vivint, Inc.

Key Metrics at December 31, 2013

Total Subscribers base of approximately 795,000

$42.2 million in Total RMR

Average RMR per Subscriber of $53.05

Subscriber Account Attrition Rate of 12.8%

The Company’s Vivint segment (“Vivint”) reported total revenues of $132.7 million and $483.4 million for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2013, respectively, an increase of 24.4% and 21.7%, respectively, as compared to Combined total revenues of $106.7 million and $397.1 million for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively. The year over year increase was primarily due to growth in monitoring revenue. The increase in monitoring revenue was driven by growth in the portfolio of approximately 123,000 subscribers for the full year 2013, along with an increase in the number of subscribers purchasing additional service offerings.

Operating expenses for Vivint for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 were $39.9 million and $152.6 million, respectively, an increase of 1.3% and 17.0%, respectively, as compared to the Combined operating expenses of $39.4 million and $130.4 million for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2013. The principal drivers behind the increase for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 were increased personnel cost within our monitoring, customer service and field service departments related to the increase of the subscriber base and an increase in the cellular communication cost associated with the monitoring of our subscribers. In addition to the increase in personnel cost within the field service department, there was also an increase in inventory used to upgrade subscribers and perform service repairs, along with an increase in shipping cost due to growth in subscriber originations.

Selling expenses, excluding capitalized subscriber acquisition costs, for Vivint were $23.5 million and $98.9 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013, respectively, a decrease of 60.6% and 4.7%, respectively, as compared to Combined selling expenses of $59.7 million and $103.8 million for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively. The decreases for the year over year periods were primarily attributable to payments made to sales employees related to the Merger in the fourth quarter of 2012, offset by an increase in personnel, facility and information technology costs to support the growth in the direct-to-home and inside sales organizations. In addition, there was an increase in advertising cost to support the continued growth of the inside sales channels.

Vivint’s general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were $31.3 million and $91.7 million for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2013, respectively, a decrease of 40.2% and an increase of 7.0%, respectively, as compared to Combined G&A expenses of $52.3 million and $85.7 million for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2012, respectively. The decrease in the fourth quarter was attributable to Merger related costs in the fourth quarter 2012. The increase in the full year 2013 was primarily driven by higher personnel cost, facility cost, and consulting services costs.

Adjusted EBITDA for Vivint was $79.8 million and $291.9 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of 25.9% and 20.1%, respectively, compared to Combined Adjusted EBITDA of $63.4 million and $243.0 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012.

As of December 31, 2013, our liquidity position on a consolidated basis, defined as cash on hand and available borrowing capacity totaled approximately $460 million.

Certain Credit Statistics

Forward Looking Statements

This earnings release includes “forward-looking statements” regarding, among other things, our plans, strategies and prospects, both business and financial. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning our possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates” or “intends” or similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on these statements which speak only as of this date hereof. You should understand that the following important factors, in addition to those discussed in “Risk Factors” in the Company’s prospectus dated February 4, 2014, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission in accordance with Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC, which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, could affect our future results and could cause those results or other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements:

 

    risks of the security and home automation industry, including risks of and publicity surrounding the sales, subscriber origination and retention process;

 

    the highly competitive nature of the security and home automation industry and product introductions and promotional activity by our competitors;

 

    litigation, complaints or adverse publicity;

 

    the impact of changes in consumer spending patterns, consumer preferences, local, regional, and national economic conditions, crime, weather, demographic trends and employee availability;


    adverse publicity and product liability claims;

 

    increases and/or decreases in utility and other energy costs, increased costs related to utility or governmental requirements; and

 

    cost increases or shortages in security and home automation technology products or components.

In addition, the origination and retention of new subscribers will depend on various factors, including, but not limited to, market availability, subscriber interest, the availability of suitable components, the negotiation of acceptable contract terms with subscribers, local permitting, licensing and regulatory compliance, and our ability to manage anticipated expansion and to hire, train and retain personnel, the financial viability of subscribers and general economic conditions.

These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this press release are more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section of our prospectus dated February 4, 2014. The risks described in “Risk Factors” are not exhaustive.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. We undertake no obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Basis of Presentation

On November 16, 2012, APX Group, Inc. and two of its historical affiliates, V Solar Holdings, Inc. (“Solar”) and 2GIG Technologies, Inc. (“2GIG”), were acquired by an investor group (the “Investors”) comprised of certain investment funds affiliated with Blackstone Capital Partners VI L.P. (“Blackstone” or the “Sponsor”), and certain co-investors and management investors. This acquisition was accomplished through certain mergers and related reorganization transactions (collectively, the “Merger”) pursuant to which each of APX Group, Inc., Solar and 2GIG became indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of 313 Acquisition, LLC (“Acquisition LLC”), an entity wholly-owned by the Investors. Upon the consummation of the Merger, APX Group, Inc. and 2GIG became consolidated subsidiaries of APX Group, which in turn is wholly-owned by APX Parent Holdco, Inc., which in turn is wholly-owned by Acquisition LLC, and Solar became a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Acquisition LLC. Acquisition, LLC, APX Parent Holdco, Inc. and APX Group have no operations and were formed for the purpose of facilitating the Merger. The unaudited consolidated statements of operations of the Company presented below for periods subsequent to the Merger on November 16, 2012 are labeled “Successor.” The consolidated statements of operations of APX Group, Inc. presented below for periods preceding the Merger on November 16, 2012 are labeled “Predecessor.” The unaudited consolidated statements of operations for the Successor period reflect the Merger, presenting the results of operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. On April 1, 2013, the Company completed the sale of 2GIG and its subsidiaries to Nortek, Inc. Historical results of operations include the results of 2GIG through March 31, 2013 and Solar through November 16, 2012. Prior to the sale of 2GIG and its subsidiaries to Nortek, Inc., the Company conducted business through two segments, Vivint and 2GIG. These segments were managed and evaluated separately by management due to the differences in their products and services. The Vivint, Inc. sections for fourth quarter and full year 2013 excludes results for 2GIG.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Certain Definitions

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release includes Adjusted EBITDA, which is a supplemental measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income (loss) before interest expense (net of interest income), income and franchise taxes and depreciation and amortization (including amortization of capitalized subscriber acquisition costs), further adjusted to exclude the effects of certain contract sales to third parties, non-capitalized subscriber acquisition costs, stock based compensation, the historical results of Solar and certain unusual, non-cash, non-recurring and other items permitted in certain covenant calculations under the indenture governing our senior secured notes, the indenture governing our senior unsecured notes and the credit agreement governing the Company’s revolving credit facility. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information about flexibility under our covenants to


investors, lenders, financial analysts and rating agencies since these groups have historically used EBITDA-related measures in our industry, along with other measures, to estimate the value of a company, to make informed investment decisions, and to evaluate a company’s ability to meet its debt service requirements. Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effect of non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets, much of which results from acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Adjusted EBITDA also eliminates the effects of interest rates and changes in capitalization which management believes may not necessarily be indicative of a company’s underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also used by us to measure covenant compliance under the indenture governing our senior secured notes, the indenture governing our senior unsecured notes and the credit agreement governing the Company’s revolving credit facility.

We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because not all issuers and analysts calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss before non-controlling interests for the Company, and to income (loss) from operations for Vivint, is included at the end of this earnings release. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

Certain Definitions

“Combined” means the unaudited combined results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2012, calculated by adding the results from the Predecessor and Successor periods. This combination does not comply with U.S. GAAP or with the rules for pro forma presentation, but is presented because we believe it provides the most meaningful comparison of our results. The combined results do not reflect the actual results we would have achieved absent the Merger and are not indicative of our future results of operations

“Total Subscribers” means the aggregate number of active subscribers at the end of a given period

“RMR” means the recurring monthly revenue billed to a subscriber

“Total RMR” means the aggregate RMR billed for all subscribers

“Average RMR per Subscriber” means the Total RMR divided by Total Subscribers. This is also commonly referred to as Average Revenue per User, or “ARPU.”

“Average RMR per New Subscriber” means the aggregate RMR for new subscribers originated during a period divided by the number of new subscribers originated during such period

“Attrition” means the aggregate number of canceled subscribers during a period divided by the monthly weighted average number of total subscribers for such period. Subscribers are considered canceled when they terminate in accordance with the terms of their contract, are terminated by the Company, or if payment from such subscribers is deemed uncollectible (120 days past due). Sales of contracts to third parties and certain moves are excluded from the attrition calculation
