NOTES TO CONDENSED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business—The ADT Corporation ("ADT" or the "Company"), a company incorporated in the state of Delaware, is a leading provider of electronic security, interactive home and business automation and related monitoring services in the United States and Canada.

Separation from Tyco International Ltd.—On September 28, 2012, the Company completed its separation (the "Separation") from Tyco International Ltd. ("Tyco").

Basis of Presentation—The Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in United States dollars ("USD") and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, such financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to summarize fairly the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period. The interim results reported in these Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements should not be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. For a more comprehensive understanding of ADT and its Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements, please review these interim financial statements in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2013, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 20, 2013.

The Company has a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Friday in September. Both fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2013 are 52-week years.

The Company conducts business in one operating segment, which is identified by the Company based on how resources are allocated and operating decisions are made. Management evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the Company as a whole.

The Company conducts business through its operating entities. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results of companies acquired are included in the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements from the effective date of acquisition.

Radio Conversion Costs—Charges incurred related to a three-year conversion program to replace 2G radios used in many of the Company’s security systems are reflected in radio conversion costs in the Company’s Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Separation Costs—Charges incurred directly related to the Separation are reflected in separation costs in the Company's Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other (Expense) Income—During the quarter and nine months ended June 27, 2014, the Company recorded $35 million and $33 million of other expense, respectively. The quarter and nine month amounts are comprised primarily of $35 million of non-taxable expense recorded during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 representing a reduction in the receivable from Tyco pursuant to the tax sharing agreement entered into in conjunction with the Separation (the "2012 Tax Sharing Agreement") due to the resolution of certain components of the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits. During the quarter and nine months ended June 28, 2013, the Company recorded $1 million and $23 million of other income, respectively. Other income for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 was primarily the result of $22 million in income recorded pursuant to the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement for amounts owed by Tyco and Pentair Ltd. in connection with the exercise of ADT share based awards held by certain Tyco and Pentair Ltd. employees. See Note 7 and Note 8 for further information.

Inventories—Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (primarily first-in, first-out) or market value. Inventories consisted of the following ($ in millions):



	June 27, 2014		September 27, 2013
Work in progress	$	5	$	3
Finished goods	70		63
Inventories	$	75	$	66

Table of Contents

Financial Instruments—The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt and derivative financial instruments. Due to their short-term nature, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their respective book values as of June 27, 2014 and September 27, 2013.

Cash Equivalents—Included in cash and cash equivalents as of June 27, 2014 and September 27, 2013 is approximately $225 million and $124 million, respectively, of available-for-sale securities, representing cash invested in money market mutual funds. These investments are classified as Level 1 for purposes of fair value measurement, which is performed each reporting period. Unrealized holding gains or losses, if any, are excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income (loss) until realized.

Long-Term Debt Instruments—The fair value of the Company's senior unsecured notes was determined using prices for ADT's securities obtained from external pricing services, which are considered Level 2 inputs. The carrying amount of debt outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility approximates fair value as interest rates on these borrowings approximate current market rates, which are considered Level 2 inputs.

The carrying value and fair value of the Company's debt that is subject to fair value disclosures as of June 27, 2014 and September 27, 2013 were as follows ($ in millions):



	June 27, 2014				September 27, 2013
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Long-term debt instruments, excluding capital lease obligations	$	4,693	$	4,506	$	3,340	$	2,892

Derivative Instruments—All derivative financial instruments are reported on the Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. For derivative financial instruments designated as fair value hedges, the changes in fair value of both the derivatives and the hedged items are recognized currently in the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are not material.

During the quarter ended December 27, 2013, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions to hedge $500 million of its $1 billion, 6.250% fixed-rate notes due October 2021. During the quarter ended March 28, 2014, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions to hedge all $500 million of its 4.125% fixed-rate notes due April 2019. These transactions are designated as fair value hedges with the objective of managing the exposure to interest rate risk by converting the interest rates on the fixed-rate notes to floating rates. These transactions did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the quarter and nine months ended June 27, 2014.

Accrued and Other Current Liabilities—Accrued and other current liabilities in the Company's Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets includes accrued interest on long-term debt of $50 million and $27 million as of June 27, 2014 and September 27, 2013, respectively. Also included are customer advances of $40 million and $38 million as of June 27, 2014 and September 27, 2013, respectively.

Restructuring and Other Charges—During the quarter and nine months ended June 27, 2014, the Company recognized $2 million and $8 million, respectively, in severance charges related to the separation of employees in conjunction with actions taken to reduce general and administrative expenses. In addition, during the quarter ended June 27, 2014, the Company recognized a $5 million loss on the sublease of a portion of its office space and $2 million of other costs associated with consulting services focused on identifying actions to reduce its cost structure and improve future profitability by streamlining operations and better aligning functions.

During the nine months ended June 27, 2014, the Company recognized other charges of $8 million related to accelerated depreciation on certain assets abandoned in connection with the rationalization of its business processes and system landscape.

Guarantees—As of June 27, 2014 and September 27, 2013, there were no material guarantees.

Table of Contents

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance which expands the disclosure requirements for amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). The guidance requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of AOCI by component and present, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to financial statements, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. This guidance does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. The guidance became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements, as any reclassifications out of AOCI were immaterial.

In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which sets forth a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this guidance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

2. Acquisitions

Dealer Generated Customer Accounts and Bulk Account Purchases

During the nine months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, the Company paid $362 million and $428 million, respectively, for customer contracts for electronic security services generated under the ADT dealer program and bulk account purchases.

3. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

4. Debt

4.125% Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2019

On March 19, 2014, the Company completed a public offering of $500 million of its 4.125% senior unsecured notes due April 2019. Net cash proceeds from the issuance of this term indebtedness totaled $493 million, of which $200 million was used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The remaining net proceeds will be used primarily for general corporate purposes and repurchases of outstanding shares of ADT's common stock. Interest is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2014. The Company may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the maturity date at a redemption price equal to the greater of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, or a make-whole premium, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

6.250% Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2021

On October 1, 2013, the Company issued $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior unsecured notes due October 2021 to certain institutional investors pursuant to certain exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "October 2013 Debt Offering"). Net cash proceeds from the issuance of this term indebtedness totaled $987 million, of which $150 million was used to repay the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility as of September 27, 2013. The remaining net proceeds were used primarily for repurchases of outstanding shares of ADT’s common stock. Interest is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year and commenced on April 15, 2014. The Company may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the maturity date at a redemption price equal to the greater of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, or a make-whole premium, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

In connection with the October 2013 Debt Offering, the Company entered into an exchange and registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the notes. Under this agreement, the Company was obligated to file a registration statement for an offer to exchange the notes for a new issue of substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Alternatively, the Company was required to file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of such notes if the exchange offer was not completed within 365 days after closing of the initial notes issuance and the offer to exchange the notes had not been completed within 30 business days of the effective time and date of the registration statement. On April 4, 2014, the Company commenced an offer to exchange the notes issued in the October 2013 Debt Offering, pursuant to the exchange and registration rights agreement. This exchange offer was completed on May 9, 2014.

Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

As of June 27, 2014, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its $750 million revolving credit facility compared with $150 million outstanding as of September 27, 2013. The interest rate for borrowings under the revolving credit facility is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate or an alternative base rate, plus a spread, based upon the Company’s credit rating. The revolving credit facility has a maturity date of June 22, 2017. See Note 10 for further information.

See Note 1 for information on the fair value of the Company's debt.

5. Equity

Share Repurchase Program

On November 18, 2013, the Company's board of directors authorized a $1 billion increase to the $2 billion, three-year share repurchase program that was previously approved on November 26, 2012. This repurchase program expires November 26, 2015. During the nine months ended June 27, 2014, the Company made open market repurchases of 14.0 million shares of ADT's common stock at an average price of $35.72 per share. The total cost of open market repurchases for the nine months ended June 27, 2014 was $500 million, all of which was paid during the period.

On November 19, 2013, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement under which it paid $400 million for an initial delivery of approximately 8 million shares of ADT's common stock. This accelerated share repurchase program was completed on February 25, 2014. In total, the Company repurchased 10.9 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $36.86 per share under this accelerated share repurchase agreement.

On November 24, 2013, the Company entered into a Share Repurchase Agreement ("Share Repurchase Agreement") with Corvex Management LP ("Corvex"). Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement, the Company repurchased 10.2 million shares from Corvex for a price per share equal to $44.01, resulting in $451 million of cash paid during the quarter ended December 27, 2013. This repurchase was completed on November 29, 2013.

The above repurchases were made in accordance with the board approved repurchase program. All of the Company's repurchases were treated as effective retirements of the purchased shares and therefore reduced reported shares issued and outstanding by the number of shares repurchased. In addition, the Company recorded the excess of the purchase price over the par value of the common stock as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.

Other

During the nine months ended June 27, 2014, the Company did not record any material reclassifications out of AOCI.

6. Share Plans

During the quarter ended December 27, 2013, ADT issued its annual stock-based compensation grants to Company employees. The total number of awards issued consisted of 0.5 million stock options, 0.2 million restricted stock units and 0.2 million performance stock units. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units was $15.11, $44.01 and $41.77, respectively.

7. Income Taxes

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

During the quarter and nine months ended June 27, 2014, the Company reduced its unrecognized tax benefits by $30 million. The Company also reduced its accrued interest related to the unrecognized tax benefits by $6 million. The impact to net income from the resolution of certain components of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits was primarily offset by a pre-tax adjustment to the receivable from Tyco pursuant to the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement, which was recorded in other (expense) income. See Note 8 for more information on the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement. The Company's remaining uncertain tax positions relate to tax years that remain subject to audit by the taxing authorities in the U.S. federal, state and local or foreign jurisdictions. Based on the current status of its income tax audits, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that up to $10 million in unrecognized tax benefits may be resolved in the next twelve months. The remaining resolution of certain components of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits will also be partially offset by a pre-tax adjustment to the receivable from Tyco.

Effective Tax Rate

The Company's income tax expense for the quarter and nine months ended June 27, 2014 totaled $3 million and $101 million, respectively. This results in an effective tax rate for the periods of 3.5% and 31.3%, respectively. The reduction in the effective tax rate for the quarter and nine months ended June 27, 2014 is primarily impacted by a favorable adjustment resulting from the settlement of certain unrecognized tax benefits of 40.6% and 10.8%, respectively, partially offset by the impact to the effective tax rate of $35 million in non-taxable expense recorded in other (expense) income pursuant to the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement of 14.3% and 3.8%, respectively. Additionally, the nine months ended June 27, 2014 includes the unfavorable impact of the deferred tax expense associated with the pending U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") settlements of 5.2%. See Note 8 for more information on the pending IRS settlements. The effective tax rate can vary from period to period due to permanent tax adjustments, discrete items such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws, as well as recurring factors such as changes in the overall effective state tax rate.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to various claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of business, including from time to time, contractual disputes, employment matters, product and general liability claims, claims that the Company has infringed on the intellectual property rights of others, claims related to alleged security system failures and consumer class actions. The Company has recorded accruals for losses that it believes are probable to occur and are reasonably estimable. While the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of any such proceedings (other than matters specifically identified below), will not have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Broadview Security Contingency

On May 14, 2010, the Company acquired Broadview Security, a business formerly owned by The Brink's Company. Under the Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992, as amended (the "Coal Act"), The Brink's Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries at July 20, 1992 (including certain legal entities acquired in the Broadview Security acquisition) are jointly and severally liable with certain of The Brink's Company's other current and former subsidiaries for health care coverage obligations provided for by the Coal Act. A Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Associate ("VEBA") trust has been established by The Brink's Company to pay for these liabilities, although the trust may have insufficient funds to satisfy all future obligations. At the time of its spin-off from The Brink's Company, Broadview Security entered into an agreement in which The Brink's Company agreed to indemnify it for any and all liabilities and expenses related to The Brink's Company's former coal operations, including any health care coverage obligations. The Brink's Company has agreed that this indemnification survives the Company's acquisition of Broadview Security. The Company has evaluated its potential liability under the Coal Act as a contingency in light of all known facts, including the funding of the VEBA, and indemnification provided by The Brink's Company. The Company has concluded that no accrual is necessary due to the existence of the indemnification and its belief that The Brink's Company and VEBA will be able to satisfy all future obligations under the Coal Act.

Environmental Matter

On October 25, 2013, the Company was notified by subpoena that the Office of the Attorney General of California, in conjunction with the Alameda County District Attorney, is investigating whether certain of the Company’s waste disposal policies, procedures and practices are in violation of the California Business and Professions Code and the California Health and Safety Code. The Company is cooperating fully with the respective authorities. The Company is currently unable to predict the outcome of this investigation or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

Securities Litigation

On April 28, 2014, the Company and certain of its current and former officers and directors were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The plaintiff alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5, and seeks monetary damages, including interest, and class action status on behalf of all plaintiffs who purchased the Company’s common stock during the period between November 27, 2012 and January 29, 2014, inclusive. The claims focus primarily on the Company's statements concerning its financial condition and future business prospects for fiscal 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2014, its stock repurchase program in 2012 and 2013 and the buyback of stock from Corvex Management LP in November 2013. On June 27, 2014, another plaintiff filed a similar action in the same court. On July 14, 2014, the Court entered an order consolidating the two actions under the caption Henningsen v. The ADT Corporation, Case No. 14-80566-CIV-DIMITROULEAS, and appointing IBEW Local 595 Pension and Money Purchase Pension Plans, Macomb County Employees' Retirement System and KBC Asset Management NV as Lead Plaintiffs in the consolidated action. In addition to the Company, the defendants named in the action are Naren Gursahaney, Kathryn A. Mikells, Michael S. Geltzeiler, Keith A. Meister, and Corvex Management LP. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations in this action and is currently unable to predict the outcome or if legal damages will apply.

Derivative Litigation

In May and June 2014, four derivative actions were filed against a number of past and present officers and directors of the Company. Like the securities actions described above, the derivative actions focus primarily on the Company's stock repurchase program in 2012 and 2013, the buyback of stock from Corvex Management LP in November 2013 and the Company's statements concerning its financial condition and future business prospects for fiscal 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Three of the derivative actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. On July 16, 2014, the Court consolidated those three actions under the caption In re The ADT Corporation Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 14-80570-CIV-DIMITROULEAS/SNOW. The fourth derivative action, entitled Seidl v. Colligan, Case No. 2014CA007529, was filed in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County, Florida. On July 14, 2014, the parties agreed to stay that action pending resolution of motions to dismiss that are expected to be filed in the securities actions described above. The Court approved the stay on July 23, 2014. In March 2014, the Company also received a demand from a shareholder to initiate litigation against officers and directors of the Company in connection with the Company's stock repurchase program in 2012 and 2013 and the buyback of stock from Corvex Management LP in November 2013. The Company's Board of Directors investigated the matters with the assistance of an outside law firm and, on July 18, 2014, decided to reject the demand.

Income Tax Matters

In connection with the Separation from Tyco, the Company entered into the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement with Tyco and Pentair Ltd. that governs the rights and obligations of the Company, Tyco and Pentair Ltd. for certain pre-Separation tax liabilities, including Tyco's obligations under the tax sharing agreement among Tyco, Covidien Ltd. ("Covidien"), and TE Connectivity Ltd. ("TE Connectivity") entered into in 2007 (the "2007 Tax Sharing Agreement"). The Company is responsible for all of its own taxes that are not shared pursuant to the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement's sharing formulae. Tyco and Pentair Ltd. are responsible for their tax liabilities that are not subject to the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement's sharing formulae.

With respect to years prior to and including the 2007 separation of Covidien and TE Connectivity by Tyco, tax authorities have raised issues and proposed tax adjustments that are generally subject to the sharing provisions of the 2007 Tax Sharing Agreement and which may require Tyco to make a payment to a taxing authority, Covidien or TE Connectivity. Although Tyco has advised ADT that it has resolved a substantial number of these adjustments, a few significant items raised by the IRS remain open with respect to the audits of the 1997 through 2004 tax years. On July 1, 2013, Tyco announced that the IRS issued Notices of Deficiency to Tyco primarily related to the treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions (the "Tyco IRS Notices"). These notices assert that additional taxes of $883 million plus penalties of $154 million are owed based on audits of the 1997 through 2000 tax years of Tyco and its subsidiaries, as they existed at that time. Further, Tyco reported receiving Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments (the "Partnership Notices") for certain U.S. partnerships owned by its former U.S. subsidiaries, for which Tyco estimates an additional tax deficiency of approximately $30 million will be asserted. The additional tax assessments related to the Tyco IRS Notices and the Partnership Notices exclude interest and do not reflect the impact on subsequent periods if the IRS challenge to Tyco's tax filings is proved correct. Tyco has filed petitions with the U.S. Tax Court to contest the IRS assessments. Consistent with its petitions filed with the U.S. Tax Court, Tyco has advised the Company that it strongly disagrees with the IRS position and believes (i) it has meritorious defenses for the respective tax filings, (ii) the IRS positions with regard to these matters are inconsistent with applicable tax laws and Treasury regulations, and (iii) the previously reported taxes for the years in question are appropriate. If the IRS should successfully assert its position, the Company's share of the collective liability, if any, would be determined pursuant to the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement. In accordance with the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement, Tyco is responsible for the first $500 million of tax, interest and penalty assessed against pre-2013 tax years including its 27 percent share of the tax, interest and penalty assessed for periods prior to Tyco's 2007 spin transaction ("Pre-2007 Spin Periods"). The amount ultimately assessed against Pre-2007 Spin Periods with respect to the Tyco IRS Notices would have to be in excess of $1.85 billion, including other assessments for unrelated historical tax matters Tyco has, or may settle in the future, before the Company would be required to pay any of the amounts assessed. In addition to the Company's share of cash taxes pursuant to the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement, the Company's NOL carryforward may be reduced by audit adjustments to pre-2013 tax periods. The Company believes that its income tax reserves and the liabilities recorded in the Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheet for the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement continue to be appropriate. No payments with respect to the Tyco IRS Notices would be required until the dispute is resolved in the U.S. Tax Court, which Tyco has advised the Company, could take several years. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters is uncertain, and if the IRS were to prevail, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, potentially including a reduction in the Company's available net operating loss carryforwards. Further, to the extent ADT is responsible for any liability under the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement, there could be a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, cash flows or its effective tax rate in future reporting periods.

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended June 27, 2014, Tyco advised ADT of pending IRS settlements related to certain intercompany corporate expenses deducted on the U.S. income tax returns for the 2005 through 2009 tax years. The settlements reduce ADT's net operating loss carryforwards, resulting in a decrease to the Company's net deferred tax asset of approximately $17 million.

Other liabilities in the Company's Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets as of both June 27, 2014 and September 27, 2013 include $19 million for ADT's obligations under certain tax related agreements entered into in conjunction with the Separation. The maximum amount of potential future payments is not determinable as they relate to unknown conditions and future events that cannot be predicted.

9. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could participate in earnings, but not securities that are anti-dilutive. The computations of basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters and nine months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013 were as follows:



	For the Quarters Ended				For the Nine Months Ended
(in millions, except per share amounts)	June 27, 2014		June 28, 2013		June 27, 2014		June 28, 2013
Basic Earnings Per Share
Numerator:
Net income	$	82	$	113	$	222	$	325
Denominator:
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	174		217		184		225

Basic earnings per share	$	0.47	$	0.52	$	1.21	$	1.44



	For the Quarters Ended				For the Nine Months Ended
(in millions, except per share amounts)	June 27, 2014		June 28, 2013		June 27, 2014		June 28, 2013
Diluted Earnings Per Share
Numerator:
Net income	$	82	$	113	$	222	$	325
Denominator:
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	174		217		184		225
Effect of dilutive securities:
Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock units	1		2		1		3
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	175		219		185		228

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.47	$	0.52	$	1.20	$	1.43

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 2.3 million shares and 1.0 million shares, respectively, of stock as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 1.7 million shares and 0.8 million shares, respectively, of stock as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

10. Subsequent Events

Dividend

On July 18, 2014 the Company's board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on ADT's common stock of $0.20 per share. This dividend will be paid on August 20, 2014 to stockholders of record on July 30, 2014.

Acquisition

On July 8, 2014, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Reliance Protectron, Inc. ("Protectron"), a leading electronic security services company in Canada, for a Canadian dollar ("CAD") denominated base purchase price of CAD $555 million ($520 million). The transaction was financed with borrowings of $375 million under the Company's revolving credit facility and cash on hand. Subsequent to the transaction, there was a remaining $375 million available under the Company's $750 million revolving credit facility. Due to the timing of this acquisition, certain disclosures have been omitted because the initial accounting for the business combination was in process at the time the financial statements were issued.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Introduction

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, which are included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2013, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on November 20, 2013 (the "2013 Form 10-K"). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including but not limited to those provided in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the 2013 Form 10-K and in Part II, Item IA. Risk Factors and under the heading "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" below.

We conduct business through our operating entities and report financial and operating information in one reportable segment. We have a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Friday in September. Both fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2013 are 52-week years.

On September 28, 2012, we completed our separation (the "Separation") from Tyco International Ltd. ("Tyco").

Business Overview

The ADT Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "we," "our," the "Company" or "ADT") is a leading provider of electronic security, interactive home and business automation and related monitoring services. We currently serve approximately 6.4 million customers, making us the largest company of our kind in both the United States and Canada.

Our subscriber-based business requires significant upfront costs to generate new customers, which in turn provide predictable recurring revenue generated from monthly monitoring fees. In any period, our business results will be impacted by a number of factors including: customer additions, costs associated with adding new customers, average revenue per customer, costs related to providing services to customers and customer tenure. We manage our business to optimize these key factors. We focus on investing in each of our customer acquisition channels to grow our account base in a cost effective manner and generate positive future cash flows and attractive margins. We also focus on maintaining consistently high levels of customer satisfaction to increase customer tenure and improve profitability.

Key Performance Measures

We operate our business with the goal of retaining customers for long periods of time in order to recoup our initial investment in new customers, achieving cash flow break-even in approximately three years. We generate substantial recurring revenue from our customer base. In evaluating our results, we review the following key performance indicators:

Customer Growth. Growth of our customer base is crucial to drive our recurring customer revenue as well as to leverage costs of operations. To grow our customer base, we market our electronic security and home/business automation systems and services through national television advertisements, internet advertising and through a direct sales force and an authorized dealer network. The key customer metrics that we use to track customer growth are gross customer additions and ending customers. Gross customer additions are new monitored customers installed or acquired during the period.

Customer Unit Attrition Rate. Our economic model is highly dependent on customer retention. Success in retaining customers is driven in part by our discipline in accepting new customers with favorable characteristics and by providing high quality equipment, installation, monitoring and customer service. Beginning with the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we began to provide customer unit attrition rate as a key performance measure as we believe that this metric better reflects the economic impact of the security investments we make in residential and small business facilities and is how we internally manage attrition. We plan to discontinue providing customer revenue attrition subsequent to fiscal year 2014. Refer to the discussion on customer revenue attrition rate below for further details.

Table of Contents

Customer unit attrition measures residential and small business customer sites canceled, excluding health services and contracts monitored but not owned, net of dealer charge-backs and re-sales. Customer sites are considered canceled when all services are terminated. Dealer charge-backs represent customer cancellations charged back to the dealers because the customer canceled service during the initial period of the contract, generally 12 to 15 months. Re-sales are inactive customer sites that are returned to active service during the period. The customer unit attrition rate is a 52-week trailing ratio, the numerator of which is the trailing twelve month customer sites canceled during the period due to attrition, net of charge-backs and re-sales, and the denominator of which is the average of the customer base at the beginning of each month during the trailing twelve month period. The following table includes the customer unit attrition rate for historical periods from December 28, 2012 through March 28, 2014 (the period when we introduced the metric):



	December 28, 2012		March 29, 2013		June 28, 2013		September 27, 2013		December 27, 2013		March 28, 2014
Customer unit attrition rate	12.9	%	13.0	%	13.3	%	13.3	%	13.6	%	13.7	%

Customer Revenue Attrition Rate. Historically, we evaluated our customer retention based upon the recurring revenue lost resulting from customer attrition, net of dealer charge-backs and re-sales, which we refer to as customer revenue attrition. However, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, we began to provide the customer unit attrition rate as a key performance measure and plan to discontinue providing customer revenue attrition subsequent to fiscal year 2014. The customer revenue attrition rate is a 52-week trailing ratio, the numerator of which is the annualized recurring revenue lost during the period due to attrition, net of dealer charge-backs and re-sales, and the denominator of which is total annualized recurring revenue based on an average of recurring revenue under contract at the beginning of each month during the period.

Recurring Customer Revenue. Recurring customer revenue is generated by contractual monthly recurring fees for monitoring and other recurring services provided to our customers. Our other revenue consists of revenue associated with the sale of equipment, amortization of deferred revenue related to upfront installations fees, non-routine repair and maintenance services and customer termination charges.

Average Revenue per Customer. Average revenue per customer measures the average amount of recurring revenue per customer per month and is calculated based on the recurring revenue under contract at the end of the period, divided by the total number of customers under contract at the end of the period.

Cost to Serve Expenses. Cost to serve expenses represent the cost of providing services to our customers reflected in our Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Operations. These expenses include costs associated with service calls for customers who have maintenance contracts, costs of monitoring, call center customer service and guard response, partnership commissions and continuing equity programs, bad debt expense and general and administrative expenses. Recurring customer revenue less cost to serve expenses represents our recurring revenue margin.

Gross Subscriber Acquisition Cost Expenses. Gross subscriber acquisition cost expenses represent certain costs related to the acquisition of new customers reflected in our Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Operations such as advertising, marketing, and both direct and indirect selling costs for all new customer accounts as well as sales commissions and installation equipment and labor costs associated with transactions where title to the security system is contractually transferred to the customer.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"). EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure reflecting net income adjusted for interest, taxes and certain non-cash items which include depreciation of subscriber system assets and other fixed assets, amortization of deferred costs and deferred revenue associated with customer acquisitions, and amortization of dealer and other intangible assets. We believe EBITDA is useful to provide investors with information about operating profits, adjusted for significant non-cash items, generated from the existing customer base. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income (the most comparable GAAP measure) is provided under "-Results of Operations-Non-GAAP Measures."

Free Cash Flow ("FCF"). FCF is a non-GAAP measure that our management employs to measure cash that is available to service debt, make other investments and return capital to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases. The difference between net cash provided by operating activities (the most comparable GAAP measure) and FCF is the deduction of cash outlays for capital expenditures, subscriber system assets, dealer generated customer accounts and bulk account purchases. A reconciliation of FCF to net cash provided by operating activities is provided under "-Results of Operations-Non-GAAP Measures."

Table of Contents

As reported in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we determined that a small number of customer upgrades in Canada were incorrectly reflected as customer additions in prior periods. As a result, historical ending number of customers, gross customer additions and average revenue per customer have been adjusted. This adjustment had no impact on our financial statements for any prior periods. The following table reflects the revisions for periods from December 28, 2012 through September 27, 2013:



	Ending number of customers (thousands)⁽¹⁾		Gross customer additions (thousands)⁽²⁾		Average revenue per customer (dollars)⁽¹⁾

As mentioned above, we manage our business to optimize a number of factors including: customer additions, costs associated with adding new customers, average revenue per customer, costs related to providing services to customers and customer tenure. In order to understand how these key factors impact our Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Operations, we consider the following components of our expenses: cost to serve expenses, gross subscriber acquisition cost expenses and depreciation and amortization. The following tables reflect the location of these costs in our Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarters ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013:

Revenue

Revenue increased by $16 million, or 1.9%, for the quarter ended June 27, 2014 as compared with the quarter ended June 28, 2013, as a result of growth in recurring customer revenue, which increased by $21 million, or 2.7%. This increase was primarily the result of higher average revenue per customer.

Average revenue per customer increased by $1.57, or 3.9%, as of June 27, 2014 compared with June 28, 2013. The increase was primarily due to price escalations on our existing customer base and, to a lesser extent, the addition of new customers at higher rates, partially driven by an increase in ADT Pulse customers compared to total customer additions.

Gross customer additions fell by 23,000, or 8.4%, for the quarter ended June 27, 2014 as compared with the quarter ended June 28, 2013, primarily as a result of lower dealer channel production and, to a lesser extent, lower levels of accounts generated through our direct channel. The decline in our dealer channel production was largely due to dealers facing lead generation challenges as a result of increased competition and tighter enforcement of telemarketing regulations, in addition to a lower number of dealers. We continue to add new dealers and to work closely with our existing dealers to help them strengthen their capabilities and better leverage ADT’s marketing assets to grow their businesses, as evidenced by a 9.1% increase in dealer channel production from the quarter ended March 28, 2014. While direct channel production decreased slightly from the quarter ended June 28, 2013, it has increased 6.9% from the quarter ended March 28, 2014.

Net of attrition, our ending number of customers remained flat at 6.4 million from June 28, 2013 to June 27, 2014. Customer unit attrition and customer revenue attrition as of June 27, 2014 increased slightly to 13.5% and 13.9%, respectively, as compared with 13.3% and 13.8%, respectively, as of June 28, 2013. Customer unit attrition and customer revenue attrition decreased 20 basis points and 30 basis points, respectively, from the quarter ended March 28, 2014 reflecting improvements associated with several new programs to address voluntary, non-pay and relocation disconnects.

Operating Income

Operating income decreased by $23 million, or 12.0%, for the quarter ended June 27, 2014 as compared with the quarter ended June 28, 2013, while operating margin decreased to 19.9% from 23.0% for the same periods. Operating expenses for the quarter ended June 27, 2014, which include $1 million of costs related to the Separation, totaled $680 million, up 6.1%, or $39 million, as compared with the quarter ended June 28, 2013. The increase in operating expenses was partially driven by $18 million of costs associated with our three-year conversion program to replace 2G radios used in many of our security systems, $9 million of restructuring and other expenses and $2 million of acquisition and integration costs. Additionally, depreciation and amortization expense increased by $22 million, primarily related to our subscriber system assets, which included greater ADT Pulse additions and upgrades.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net was $49 million for the quarter ended June 27, 2014 compared with $31 million for the quarter ended June 28, 2013. Net interest expense for the quarter ended June 27, 2014 is comprised primarily of interest on our long-term debt, which reflects an increase in our indebtedness from the issuance of $1 billion in notes in October 2013 and $500 million in notes in March 2014.

Other (Expense) Income

Other expense was $35 million for the quarter ended June 27, 2014 compared with other income of $1 million for the quarter ended June 28, 2013. The $35 million of other expense consists primarily of a reduction in a receivable from Tyco pursuant to the tax sharing agreement entered into in conjunction with the Separation ("2012 Tax Sharing Agreement") due to the resolution of certain unrecognized tax benefits.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense of $3 million decreased by $46 million for the quarter ended June 27, 2014 as compared with the quarter ended June 28, 2013, and the effective tax rate decreased to 3.5% from 30.2%. The decrease in the effective tax rate reflects a favorable adjustment of 40.6% resulting from the settlement of certain unrecognized tax benefits, partially offset by the impact to the effective tax rate of $35 million in non-taxable expense recorded in other (expense) income of 14.3%. The effective tax rate can vary from period to period due to permanent tax adjustments, discrete items such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws, as well as recurring factors such as changes in the overall effective state tax rate.

Revenue

Revenue increased by $62 million, or 2.5%, during the nine months ended June 27, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended June 28, 2013, primarily as a result of growth in recurring customer revenue, which increased by $69 million, or 3.0%. This increase was primarily the result of higher average revenue per customer.

Average revenue per customer increased by $1.57, or 3.9%, as of June 27, 2014, compared with June 28, 2013. The increase was primarily due to price escalations on our existing customer base and, to a lesser extent, the addition of new customers at higher rates partially driven by an increase in ADT Pulse customers compared to total customer additions.

Gross customer additions fell by 116,000, or 14.0%, during the nine months ended June 27, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended June 28, 2013, primarily due to lower dealer channel production, a decline of 34,000 bulk account purchases and, to a lesser extent, lower levels of customer accounts generated through our direct channel. The decline in our dealer channel production was primarily due to dealers facing lead generation challenges as a result of increased competition and tighter enforcement of telemarketing regulations, in addition to a lower number of dealers. We continue to add new dealers and to work closely with our existing dealers to help them strengthen their capabilities and better leverage ADT’s marketing assets to grow their businesses. The decline in customer accounts generated through our direct channel resulted from lead generation challenges due to increased competition, the implementation of more stringent credit policies for new subscribers and increased focus on ADT Pulse upgrades for existing customers.

Net of attrition, our ending number of customers remained flat at 6.4 million from June 28, 2013 to June 27, 2014. Customer unit attrition and customer revenue attrition as of June 27, 2014 increased slightly to 13.5% and 13.9% respectively, as compared with 13.3% and 13.8% respectively, as of June 28, 2013. Customer unit attrition and customer revenue attrition decreased 20 basis points and 30 basis points, respectively, from the quarter ended March 28, 2014 reflecting improvements associated with several new programs to address voluntary, non-pay and relocation disconnects.

Operating Income

Operating income of $498 million decreased by $54 million, or 9.8%, for the nine months ended June 27, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended June 28, 2013. Operating margin was 19.7% for the nine months ended June 27, 2014 compared with 22.4% for the nine months ended June 28, 2013. Operating expenses for the nine months ended June 27, 2014, which included $10 million of costs related to the Separation, totaled $2.0 billion, up 6.1% or $116 million as compared to the nine months ended June 28, 2013. The increase in operating expenses was partially driven by a $70 million increase in cost to serve expenses which was largely a result of $27 million of costs associated with our three-year conversion program to replace 2G radios used in many of our security systems, $15 million of restructuring and other expenses and $3 million of acquisition and integration costs. The remaining increase in cost to serve expenses is primarily related to higher costs associated with being a stand-alone public company, increased customer service and maintenance expenses from programs to improve customer retention, and incremental investments to strengthen our business platforms and capabilities to support our business simplification, innovation and M&A opportunities.

Additionally, depreciation and amortization expense increased by $77 million, primarily related to our subscriber system assets, which included greater ADT Pulse additions and upgrades and, to a lesser extent, $8 million of accelerated depreciation on certain assets abandoned in connection with the rationalization of our business processes and system landscape.

Interest Expense, net

Interest expense, net was $142 million for the nine months ended June 27, 2014 compared with $85 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2013. Net interest expense for the nine months ended June 27, 2014 is comprised primarily of interest on our long-term debt, which reflects an increase in our indebtedness from the issuance of the issuance of $700 million in notes in January 2013, $1 billion in notes in October 2013 and $500 million in notes in March 2014.

Other (Expense) Income

Other expense was $33 million for the nine months ended June 27, 2014 compared with other income of $23 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2013. Other expense for the nine months ended June 27, 2014 was primarily a result of a $35 million reduction in amounts owed by Tyco pursuant to the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement due to the resolution of certain unrecognized tax benefits. Other income for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 was primarily the result of $22 million in income recorded pursuant to the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement for amounts owed by Tyco and Pentair Ltd. in connection with the exercise of ADT share based awards held by certain Tyco and Pentair Ltd. employees.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense of $101 million decreased $64 million for the nine months ended June 27, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended June 28, 2013, and the effective tax rate decreased to 31.3% from 33.7%. The decrease in the effective tax rate reflects a favorable adjustment of 10.8% resulting from the settlement of certain unrecognized tax benefits, offset by the impact to the effective tax rate of $35 million in non-taxable expense recorded in other (expense) income of 3.8% and the unfavorable deferred tax expense from the pending IRS settlements of 5.2%. The effective tax rate can vary from period to period due to permanent tax adjustments, discrete items such as the settlement of income tax audits and changes in tax laws, as well as recurring factors such as changes in the overall effective state tax rate.

Non-GAAP Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our results as determined by GAAP, we also disclose non-GAAP measures which management believes provide useful information to investors. These measures consist of EBITDA and FCF. These measures are not financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as substitutes for net income, operating profit, cash from operating activities or any other operating performance measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, and they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We use EBITDA to measure the operational strength and performance of our business. We use FCF as an additional performance measure of our ability to service debt, make other investments and return capital to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases. These measures, or measures that are based on them, may also be used as components in our incentive compensation plans.

Table of Contents

We believe EBITDA is useful because it measures our success in acquiring, retaining and servicing our customer base and our ability to generate and grow our recurring revenue while providing a high level of customer service in a cost-effective manner. EBITDA excludes interest expense and the provision for income taxes. Excluding these items eliminates the expenses associated with our capitalization and tax structure. Because EBITDA excludes interest expense, it does not give effect to cash used for debt service requirements and thus does not reflect available funds for distributions, reinvestment or other discretionary uses. EBITDA also excludes depreciation and amortization, which eliminates the impact of non-cash charges related to capital investments. Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation of subscriber system assets and other fixed assets, amortization of deferred costs and deferred revenue associated with subscriber acquisitions and amortization of dealer and other intangible assets.

There are material limitations to using EBITDA. EBITDA does not take into account certain significant items, including depreciation and amortization, interest expense and tax expense, which directly affect our net income. These limitations are best addressed by considering the economic effects of the excluded items independently, and by considering EBITDA in conjunction with net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP.

FCF is defined as cash from operations less cash outlays related to capital expenditures, subscriber system assets, dealer generated customer accounts and bulk account purchases. Dealer generated customer accounts are accounts that are generated through our network of authorized dealers. Bulk account purchases represent accounts that we acquire from third parties outside of our authorized dealer network, such as other security service providers, on a selective basis. These items are subtracted from cash from operating activities because they represent long-term investments that are required for normal business activities. As a result, FCF is a useful measure of our cash available to service debt, make other investments and return capital to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases.

Furthermore, FCF adjusts for cash items that are ultimately within management's and the board of directors' discretion to direct and therefore may imply that there is less or more cash that is available than the most comparable GAAP measure. FCF is not intended to represent residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures since debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures are not deducted. This limitation is best addressed by using FCF in combination with the GAAP cash flow numbers.

The tables below reconcile EBITDA to net income and FCF to cash flows from operating activities.

EBITDA decreased to $388 million from $428 million for the quarters ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, respectively, due primarily to an increase in other expense of $36 million which was driven by amounts recorded pursuant to the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement. For further details, refer to the discussion above under "-Results of Operations- Other (Expense) Income." Additionally, cost to serve expenses were higher in the quarter ended June 27, 2014, including $18 million in costs related to our three-year conversion program to replace 2G radios used in many of our security systems, $9 million in restructuring and other expenses and $2 million in acquisition and integration costs. This was partially offset by higher recurring revenue in the quarter ended June 27, 2014.

EBITDA decreased to $1,219 million from $1,264 million for the nine months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, respectively. The decrease was principally due to the impact of increased cost to serve expenses, which included $27 million of costs associated with our three-year conversion program to replace 2G radios used in many of our security systems, $15 million of restructuring and other expenses and $3 million of acquisition and integration costs. Additionally, there was an increase in other expense of $56 million primarily driven by amounts recorded pursuant to the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement. For further details, refer to the discussion above under "-Results of Operations- Other (Expense) Income." This was partially offset by higher recurring revenue for the nine months ended June 27, 2014.

Capital expenditures	(56		)	(47		)
FCF	$	259		$	383

For the nine months ended June 27, 2014, FCF decreased $124 million compared with the nine months ended June 28, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a $108 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities, as well as a $73 million increase in cash outlays for subscriber system assets, partially offset by a $66 million decrease in cash paid for dealer generated accounts and bulk account purchases. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was driven primarily by a $53 million increase in cash paid for interest and the timing of other operating cash payments.

The $73 million increase in cash paid for subscriber system assets resulted primarily from an increase in the average cost of installed systems, partially driven by an increase in new ADT Pulse customers, higher volume of ADT Pulse upgrades to existing customers and increased promotional activities. The $66 million decrease in cash paid for dealer generated accounts resulted from the lower levels of dealer account production and lower levels of bulk account purchases discussed above under "-Results of Operations-Revenue."

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and Cash Flow Analysis

Significant factors driving our liquidity position include cash flows generated from operating activities and investments in internally generated subscriber systems and dealer generated customer accounts. Our cash flows from operations include cash received from monthly recurring revenue and upfront installation fees received from customers, less cash costs to provide services to our customers, including general and administrative costs, and certain costs associated with acquiring new customers. Historically, we have generated and expect to continue to generate positive cash flow from operations.

Liquidity

At June 27, 2014, we had $250 million in cash and cash equivalents and another $750 million available under our revolving credit facility. Our primary future cash needs are expected to be centered on operating activities, working capital, capital expenditures, strategic investments and dividends. In addition, we may use cash to repurchase shares of our common stock under our $3 billion share repurchase program. We believe our cash position, amounts available under our revolving credit facility and cash provided by operating activities will be adequate to meet our operational and business needs in the next twelve months.

On October 1, 2013, we issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior unsecured notes due October 2021 to certain institutional investors pursuant to certain exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "October 2013 Debt Offering"). Net cash proceeds from the issuance of this term indebtedness totaled $987 million, of which $150 million was used to repay the outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of September 27, 2013. The remaining net proceeds were used primarily for repurchases of outstanding shares of our common stock. Interest is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, and commenced on April 15, 2014. We may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the maturity date at a redemption price equal to the greater of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, or a make-whole premium, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

In connection with our October 2013 Debt Offering, we entered into an exchange and registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the notes. Under this agreement, we were obligated to file a registration statement for an offer to exchange the notes for a new issue of substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Alternatively, we were required to file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of such notes if the exchange offer was not completed within 365 days after closing of the initial notes issuance and the offer to exchange the notes had not been completed within 30 business days of the effective time and date of the registration statement. On April 4, 2014, we commenced an offer to exchange the $1 billion notes issued in October 2013. This exchange offer was completed on May 9, 2014.

Table of Contents

On March 19, 2014, we completed a public offering of $500 million of our 4.125% senior unsecured notes due April 2019 (the "March 2014 Debt Offering"). Net cash proceeds from the issuance of this term indebtedness totaled $493 million, of which $200 million was used to repay the majority of the outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of December 27, 2013. The remaining net proceeds will be used primarily for general corporate purposes and for repurchases of outstanding shares of our common stock. Interest is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2014. We may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the maturity date at a redemption price equal to the greater of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, or a make-whole premium, plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of June 27, 2014 compared with $150 million outstanding as of September 27, 2013.

On July 8, 2014, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Reliance Protectron, Inc. ("Protectron"), a leading electronic security services company in Canada, for a Canadian dollar ("CAD") denominated base purchase price of CAD $555 million ($520 million). The transaction was financed with borrowings of $375 million under our revolving credit facility and cash on hand. Subsequent to the transaction, there was a remaining $375 million available under our $750 million revolving credit facility.

As of June 27, 2014, we were in compliance with all financial covenants related to our debt instruments.

Share Repurchases

On November 18, 2013, our board of directors authorized a $1 billion increase to the $2 billion, three-year share repurchase program that was previously approved on November 26, 2012. This repurchase program expires November 26, 2015. Pursuant to this approval, we may enter into accelerated share repurchase plans as well as repurchase shares on the open market. During the nine months ended June 27, 2014, we made open market repurchases of 14.0 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $35.72 per share. The total cost of open market repurchases for the nine months ended June 27, 2014 was $500 million, all of which was paid during the period.

On November 19, 2013, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement under which we paid $400 million for an initial delivery of approximately 8 million shares of our common stock. This accelerated share repurchase program was completed on February 25, 2014. In total, we repurchased 10.9 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $36.86 per share under this accelerated share repurchase agreement.

On November 24, 2013, we entered into a Share Repurchase Agreement ("Share Repurchase Agreement") with Corvex Management LP ("Corvex"). Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement, we repurchased 10.2 million shares from Corvex for a price per share equal to $44.01, resulting in $451 million of cash paid during the quarter ended December 27, 2013.

Dividends

On January 9, 2014, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.20 per share. This dividend was paid on February 19, 2014 to stockholders of record on January 29, 2014.

On March 13, 2014, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.20 per share. This dividend was paid on May 21, 2014 to stockholders of record on April 30, 2014.

On July 18, 2014, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.20 per share. This dividend will be paid on August 20, 2014 to stockholders of record on July 30, 2014.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the nine months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, we reported net cash provided by operating activities of $1,165 million and $1,273 million, respectively. See discussion of changes in net cash provided by operating activities included in FCF under "-Results of Operations-Non-GAAP Measures."

Table of Contents

In order to maintain and grow our customer base and to expand our infrastructure, we typically reinvest the cash provided by our operating activities into our business. These investments are intended to grow our customer base, enhance the overall customer experience, improve productivity of our field workforce and support greater efficiency of our back office systems and our customer care centers. For the nine months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, our investing activities consisted of subscriber system asset additions and capital expenditures totaling $544 million and $462 million, respectively. Additionally, during the nine months ended June 27, 2014 and June 28, 2013, we paid $362 million and $428 million, respectively, for customer contracts for electronic security services generated under the ADT dealer program and bulk account purchases. See discussion regarding these activities included in FCF under "-Results of Operations-Non-GAAP Measures" for further details.

Net cash used in financing activities	$	(140	)	$	(324	)

For the nine months ended June 27, 2014, the net cash used in financing activities was largely the result of $1.4 billion in repurchases of our common stock under our approved share repurchase program, which were primarily funded with a portion of the net proceeds from our $1 billion October 2013 Debt Offering and cash provided by operations. Additionally, we received $493 million in net proceeds from our March 2014 Debt Offering. Other uses and sources of cash included net repayments of $150 million on our revolving credit facility funded primarily with the remaining proceeds from previously described debt offerings, $97 million in dividend payments on our common stock and $14 million in proceeds received from the exercise of stock options.

For the nine months ended June 28, 2013, the net cash used in financing activities was primarily the result of $1.1 billion in repurchases of our common stock, which were partially funded with the $694 million in net proceeds from our January 2013 debt offering. Additionally, we paid dividends on our common stock of $86 million. We also received $77 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and $61 million in funds from Tyco, which related to the allocation of funds between the companies as outlined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement between Tyco and ADT.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses. We believe that our accounting policies for revenue recognition, depreciation and amortization methods of security monitoring-related assets, loss contingencies, acquisitions, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets and income taxes are based on, among other things, judgments and assumptions made by management that include inherent risks and uncertainties. During the nine months ended June 27, 2014, there have been no significant changes to these policies or in the underlying accounting assumptions and estimates used in the above critical accounting policies from those disclosed in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and accompanying notes contained in our 2013 Form 10-K. See Note 1 to the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements for information about recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

During the quarter ended December 27, 2013, we entered into interest rate swap transactions to hedge $500 million of our $1 billion October 2013 Debt Offering. During the quarter ended March 28, 2014, we entered into interest rate swap transactions to hedge the entirety of the $500 million March 2014 Debt Offering. The interest rate swap transactions are designated as fair value hedges, with the objective of managing the exposure to interest rate risk by converting the interest rates on the fixed-rate notes to floating rates. See "Item 2. -Liquidity and Capital Resources" for more information on our debt offerings and any outstanding debt.

Other than the items described above, our exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates has not changed materially from our exposure discussed in our 2013 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's applicable rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the possible controls and procedures. Each reporting period, we carry out an evaluation, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.

Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of June 27, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 27, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On October 25, 2013, we were notified by subpoena that the Office of the Attorney General of California, in conjunction with the Alameda County District Attorney, is investigating whether certain of our waste disposal policies, procedures and practices are in violation of the California Business and Professions Code and the California Health and Safety Code. We are cooperating fully with the respective authorities. We are currently unable to predict the outcome of this investigation or reasonably estimate a range of possible loss.

On April 28, 2014, we and certain of our current and former officers and directors were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The plaintiff alleges violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5, and seeks monetary damages, including interest, and class action status on behalf of all plaintiffs who purchased our common stock during the period between November 27, 2012 and January 29, 2014, inclusive. The claims focus primarily on our statements concerning our financial condition and future business prospects for fiscal 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2014, our stock repurchase program in 2012 and 2013 and the buyback of stock from Corvex Management LP in November 2013. On June 27, 2014, another plaintiff filed a similar action in the same court. On July 14, 2014, the Court entered an order consolidating the two actions under the caption Henningsen v. The ADT Corporation, Case No. 14-80566-CIV-DIMITROULEAS, and appointing IBEW Local 595 Pension and Money Purchase Pension Plans, Macomb County Employees' Retirement System and KBC Asset Management NV as Lead Plaintiffs in the consolidated action. In addition to ADT, the defendants named in the action are Naren Gursahaney, Kathryn A. Mikells, Michael S. Geltzeiler, Keith A. Meister, and Corvex Management LP. We intend to vigorously defend ourself against the allegations in this action and are currently unable to predict the outcome or if legal damages will apply.

In May and June 2014, four derivative actions were filed against a number of our past and present officers and directors. Like the securities actions described above, the derivative actions focus primarily on our stock repurchase program in 2012 and 2013, the buyback of stock from Corvex Management LP in November 2013 and our statements concerning our financial condition and future business prospects for fiscal 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Three of the derivative actions were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. On July 16, 2014, the Court consolidated those three actions under the caption In re The ADT Corporation Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 14-80570-CIV-DIMITROULEAS/SNOW. The fourth derivative action, entitled Seidl v. Colligan, Case No. 2014CA007529, was filed in the Circuit Court of the 15th Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County, Florida. On July 14, 2014, the parties agreed to stay that action pending resolution of motions to dismiss that are expected to be filed in the securities actions described above. The Court approved the stay on July 23, 2014. In March 2014, we also received a demand from a shareholder to initiate litigation against our officers and directors in connection with our stock repurchase program in 2012 and 2013 and the buyback of stock from Corvex Management LP in November 2013. Our Board of Directors investigated the matters with the assistance of an outside law firm and, on July 18, 2014, decided to reject the demand.

See Note 8 to the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of income tax matters.

In addition, we are subject to various claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of our business, including from time to time contractual disputes, employment matters, product and general liability claims, claims that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others, claims related to alleged security system failures and consumer class actions. We have recorded accruals for losses that we believe are probable to occur and are reasonably estimable. See Note 8 to the Condensed and Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. While the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of any such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
