NOTES TO CONDENSED, CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED 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 19, 2011, Tyco International Ltd. (“Tyco” or “Parent”) announced that its board of directors had approved a plan to separate Tyco into three separate, publicly traded companies (the “Separation”), identifying the ADT North American Residential Security Business of Tyco as one of those three companies. In conjunction with the Separation, prior to September 28, 2012, Tyco transferred the equity interests of the entities that held all of the assets and liabilities of its residential and small business security business in the United States and Canada to ADT. Effective on September 28, 2012 (the “Distribution Date”), Tyco distributed all of its shares of ADT to Tyco's stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 17, 2012 (the “Record Date”). On the Distribution Date, each of the stockholders of Tyco received one share of ADT common stock for every two shares of common stock of Tyco held on the Record Date. The Separation was completed pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of September 26, 2012, between Tyco and ADT (the “2012 Separation and Distribution Agreement”). After the Distribution Date, Tyco did not beneficially own any shares of ADT common stock.
The Company's Registration Statement on Form 10 was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 14, 2012. ADT's common stock began “regular way” trading under the symbol “ADT” on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on October 1, 2012.
Basis of Presentation—The Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in United States dollars (“USD”) and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Condensed, Consolidated and Combined 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, Consolidated and Combined 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, Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements, please review these condensed interim financial statements in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements included in its Registration Statement on Form S-4, which was filed with the SEC on April 12, 2013.
The Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements reflect the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. The Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 28, 2013 and September 28, 2012 reflect the consolidated financial position of ADT and its subsidiaries as an independent publicly-traded company. Additionally, the Company's Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the quarter and nine months ended June 28, 2013, as well as the Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended June 28, 2013, reflect ADT's operations and cash flows as a standalone company. Prior to the Separation on September 28, 2012, the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows consisted of Tyco's residential and small business security business in the United States, Canada and certain U.S. territories and were derived from Tyco's historical accounting records and presented on a carve-out basis. As such, the Company's Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the quarter and nine months ended June 29, 2012 and the Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended June 29, 2012, consist of the combined results of operations of the ADT North American Residential Security Business of Tyco.
For periods prior to the Separation, the Company's financial statements included allocations of certain working capital, property and equipment, and operating expense balances. In addition, debt and related interest expense as well as certain general corporate overhead expenses were allocated by Tyco to the Company for the financial statements presented on a carve-out basis. The allocation of corporate overhead expenses from Tyco was based on the relative proportion of either the Company's headcount or revenue to Tyco's consolidated headcount or revenue. Corporate overhead expenses primarily related to centralized corporate functions, including finance, treasury, tax, legal, information technology, internal audit, human resources and risk management functions. During the quarter and nine months ended June 29, 2012, the Company was allocated $11 million and $39 million, respectively, of general corporate expenses incurred by Tyco which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Statement of Operations. The allocation of interest expense from Tyco was based on an assessment of the Company's share of Tyco's external debt using historical data. During the quarter and nine months ended June 29, 2012, the Company was allocated $22 million and $64 million, respectively, of interest expense incurred by Tyco.
The Company has a 52- or 53-week fiscal year that ends on the last Friday in September. Both fiscal year 2013 and fiscal year 2012 are 52-week years.
The Company conducts business in one operating segment. This segment is identified by the Company based on how resources are allocated and operating decisions are made.
The Company conducts business through its operating entities. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results of companies acquired during the period are included in the Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements from the effective date of acquisition.
Separation Costs—During the quarter and nine months ended June 28, 2013, the Company incurred charges directly related to the Separation of $6 million and $17 million, respectively. These costs are reflected in separation costs in the Company's Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.
Other Income—During the quarter and nine months ended June 28, 2013, the Company recorded $1 million and $23 million, respectively, of other income, which is comprised primarily of $1 million and $22 million, respectively, of non-taxable income recorded pursuant to the tax sharing agreement entered into in conjunction with the Separation. See Note 9 for further information.
Reclassifications—Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. Specifically, the Company has reported amortization of deferred subscriber acquisition costs separately on the Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Statements of Cash Flows.
Inventories—Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (primarily first-in, first-out) or market value. Inventories consisted of the following ($ in millions):
|
| | | | | | | |
| June 28, 2013 | | September 28, 2012 |
Work in progress | $ | 3 |
| | $ | 6 |
|
Finished goods | 50 |
| | 36 |
|
Inventories | $ | 53 |
| | $ | 42 |
|
Financial Instruments—The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. Included in cash and cash equivalents as of June 28, 2013 and September 28, 2012 is approximately $258 million and $187 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. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, including the money market mutual funds, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated book value as of June 28, 2013 and September 28, 2012 because of their short-term nature.
The fair value of the Company's unsecured notes as of September 28, 2012 was determined using prices for ADT's securities obtained from multiple external pricing services, which is considered a Level 2 input. During the quarter ended June 28, 2013, the Company completed exchange offers for both the $2.5 billion notes issued in July 2012 and the $700 million notes issued in January 2013. See Note 4 for further information on the Company's exchange offers. The completion of these exchange offers enables the Company to use broker-quoted market prices to determine the fair value of its debt. Therefore the fair value of the Company's unsecured notes as of June 28, 2013 was determined using these quoted market prices, which is considered a Level 2 input. The carrying value and fair value of the Company's debt that is subject to fair value disclosures as of June 28, 2013 and September 28, 2012 is as follows ($ in millions):
|

|
Guarantees—As of June 28, 2013, the Company had $16 million in standby letters of credit related to its insurance programs. The Company had no letters of credit as of September 28, 2012.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance for the presentation of comprehensive income. The guidance amended the reporting of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) by eliminating the option to present OCI as part of the statement of stockholders' equity. The amendment does not impact the accounting for OCI, but does impact its presentation in the Company's Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements. The guidance requires that items of net income and OCI be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements which include total net income and its components, consecutively followed by total OCI and its components to arrive at total comprehensive income. In December 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to defer the effective date for those aspects of the guidance relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. The guidance became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which amends the process of testing goodwill for impairment. The guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (defined as having a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, performing the traditional two step goodwill impairment test is unnecessary. If an entity concludes otherwise, it would be required to perform the first step of the two step goodwill impairment test. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the entity is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test. However, an entity has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment in any period and proceed directly to step one of the impairment test. The guidance became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In July 2012, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which amends the process of testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. This guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (defined as having a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, the entity will have an option not to calculate the fair value of an indefinite-lived asset annually. The guidance became effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2013, the 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 OCI in financial statements. The guidance is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
2. Acquisitions
Dealer Generated Customer Accounts and Bulk Account Purchases
During the nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, the Company paid $428 million and $494 million, respectively, for customer contracts for electronic security services. Customer contracts generated under the ADT dealer program and bulk account purchases during the nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, totaled approximately 355,000 and 403,000, respectively.
Acquisitions
On October 1, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Absolute Security, which had been an ADT authorized dealer, with $16 million of cash paid in the period. This acquisition was not material to the Company's financial statements. There were no acquisitions made by the Company during the nine months ended June 29, 2012.
3. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Annually, in the fiscal fourth quarter, and more frequently if events or changes in business circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company tests goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of the Company's reporting unit with its carrying amount. Fair value of the Company's reporting unit is determined utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company's forecast cash flows discounted using an estimated weighted-average cost of capital of market participants. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered potentially impaired. In determining fair value, management relies on and considers a number of factors, including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows and other market data.

Other than goodwill, the Company does not have any other indefinite-lived intangible assets as of June 28, 2013 and September 28, 2012. Intangible asset amortization expense for the quarters ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012 was $142 million and $138 million, respectively. Intangible asset amortization expense for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012 was $423 million and $407 million, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for intangible assets is expected to be approximately $147 million for the remainder of 2013, $506 million for 2014, $428 million for 2015, $361 million for 2016, $303 million for 2017 and $1,109 million for 2018 and thereafter.
4. Debt
On January 14, 2013, the Company issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due June 2023 to certain institutional investors pursuant to certain exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "January 2013 Debt Offering"). Net cash proceeds from the issuance of this term indebtedness totaled $694 million and were primarily used for the repurchase of outstanding shares of ADT's common stock. Interest is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on June 15, 2013. 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.
As part of the Company's issuances of long-term notes in July 2012 and January 2013, the Company entered into exchange and registration rights agreements with the initial purchasers of the notes. Under each of these agreements, the Company is 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, or provide a shelf registration statement to cover resales of such notes if the exchange offer is not complete within 365 days after closing of the respective notes issuance. On April 1, 2013, the Company commenced an offer to exchange the $2.5 billion notes issued in July 2012, and on April 18, 2013, the Company commenced an offer to exchange the $700 million notes issued in January 2013. These exchange offers were completed during the third quarter of fiscal year 2013.
See Note 1 for information on the fair value of the Company's debt.
5. Equity
Dividends
On November 26, 2012, the Company's board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on ADT's common stock of $0.125 per share. This dividend was paid on December 18, 2012 to stockholders of record on December 10, 2012.
On January 10, 2013, the Company's board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on ADT's common stock of $0.125 per share. This dividend was paid on February 20, 2013 to stockholders of record on January 30, 2013.
On March 14, 2013, the Company's board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on ADT's common stock of $0.125 per share. This dividend was paid on May 15, 2013 to stockholders of record on April 24, 2013.
Share Repurchase Program
On November 26, 2012, the Company's board of directors approved $2 billion of share repurchases over a period of three years. Pursuant to this approval, the Company may enter into accelerated share repurchase plans as well as repurchase shares on the open market. During the nine months ended June 28, 2013, the Company made open market repurchases of 10.6 million shares of ADT common stock at an average price of $43.74 per share. The total cost of open market repurchases for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 was approximately $462 million, all of which was paid during the period.
On January 29, 2013, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement under which it repurchased 12.6 million shares of ADT's common stock for $600 million at an average price of $47.60 per share. This accelerated share repurchase program, which was funded with proceeds from the January 2013 Debt Offering, was completed on April 2, 2013.
All 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 28, 2013, the Company made adjustments to additional paid-in capital, which primarily resulted from the receipt of $61 million in cash from Tyco and Pentair Ltd., formerly Tyco Flow Control International, Ltd. ("Pentair") related to the allocation of funds in accordance with the 2012 Separation and Distribution Agreement.
6. Retirement Plans
Defined Benefit Pension Plan
The Company sponsors one noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan covering certain of its U.S. employees. This pension plan was frozen during fiscal year 2011. The net periodic benefit cost for this pension plan was not material for the quarters and nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012.
The Company's funding policy is to make contributions in accordance with U.S. laws as well as to make discretionary voluntary contributions from time-to-time. The Company anticipates that it will contribute at least the minimum required to its pension plan in fiscal year 2013 of $2 million. During the nine months ended June 28, 2013, the Company made contributions to its pension plan of $0.8 million.
Prior to the Separation, the pension plan was a commingled plan and included plan participants of other Tyco subsidiaries. Therefore, for the quarter and nine months ended June 29, 2012, the Company recorded its portion of the commingled plan expense and the related obligations, which had been actuarially determined based on the Company's specific benefit formula by participant and allocated plan assets. In conjunction with the Separation, the pension plan was legally separated, and assets were reallocated based on the ERISA prescribed calculation.
Postretirement Benefit Plans
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost was not material for the quarters and nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012.
7. Share Plans
During the quarter ended December 28, 2012, ADT issued its annual stock-based compensation grants to Company employees. The total number of awards issued was approximately 1.4 million, of which 0.9 million were stock options, 0.3 million were restricted stock units and 0.2 million were performance stock units. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units was $13.29, $45.90 and $45.90, respectively.
8. Income Taxes
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
The Company did not have a significant change to its unrecognized tax benefits during the nine months ended June 28, 2013. The Company's 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 $40 million in unrecognized tax benefits may be resolved in the next twelve months. The resolution of certain components of the Company's uncertain tax positions will be offset by an adjustment to the receivable from Tyco, which was recorded pursuant to the tax sharing agreement entered into in conjunction with the Separation. See Note 9 for more information on this tax sharing agreement.
Effective Tax Rate
The Company's income tax expense for the quarter and nine months ended June 28, 2013 totaled $49 million and $165 million, respectively, resulting in an effective tax rate for the periods of 30.2% and 33.7%, respectively. In June 2013, the Company filed its tax returns for fiscal year 2012. These tax returns included the first consolidated tax return consisting of the entities that comprise ADT after the Separation, and therefore, reflect the Company's business activities and tax provisions on a stand-alone basis. During the preparation of the tax returns, the Company determined that it expects to settle its net deferred tax liabilities at a lower effective state tax rate than as a member of Tyco's affiliated group prior to the Separation. Accordingly, during the quarter ended June 28, 2013, the Company reduced its net deferred tax liability and recorded a benefit in its income tax provision of $7 million. Additionally, the effective tax rates for the quarter and nine months ended June 28, 2013 reflect the favorable impact resulting from non-taxable other income of $1 million and $22 million, respectively. See Note 9 for more information on other income. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 also reflects the impact of a discrete charge of $6 million due to a California legislative change enacted on November 6, 2012. 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.
Other
In addition to the unrecognized tax benefits discussed above, Tyco has advised the Company that it expects to resolve certain issues with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for tax years 2005 through 2007 that will result in ADT making a payment of income taxes to the IRS within the next twelve months in the amount of $36 million. The increase in income taxes payable was primarily offset by an increase to a tax credit carryforward, which reduced the Company's net deferred tax liability. Both the increase in income taxes payable and the decrease in the net deferred tax liability were recorded in the quarter ended June 28, 2013.
9. 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, product and general liability claims, claims that the Company has infringed the intellectual property rights of others, and claims related to alleged security system failures. 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.
Telephone Consumer Protection Act
The Company was named as a defendant in two putative class actions that were filed on behalf of purported classes of persons who claim to have received unsolicited “robocalls” in contravention of the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”). These lawsuits were brought by plaintiffs seeking class action status and monetary damages on behalf of all plaintiffs who allegedly received such unsolicited calls, claiming that millions of calls were made by third party entities on the Company's behalf. The Company asserts that such entities were not retained by, nor authorized to make calls on behalf of, the Company. During fiscal year 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to settle this litigation and increased its legal reserve by $15 million. On June 21, 2013, the District Court approved the settlement and entered a Final Order of Judgment and Dismissal. Final payment is expected to be made in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013.
Income Tax Matters
In connection with the Separation from Tyco, the Company entered into a tax sharing agreement (the “2012 Tax Sharing Agreement”) with Tyco and Pentair that governs the rights and obligations of the Company, Tyco and Pentair 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 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 remain open with respect to IRS audits of the 1997 through 2004 tax years. On July 1, 2013, Tyco announced that the IRS issued
Notices of Deficiency (“Tyco IRS Notices”) to Tyco primarily related to the treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions. 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 advised the Company that it intends to petition the U.S. Tax Court to contest the IRS assessments. Tyco has further 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, the amount ultimately assessed would have to be in excess of $1.85 billion before the Company would be required to pay any of the amounts assessed. The Company believes that its income tax reserves and the liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheet for the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement continue to be appropriate. No payments with respect to these matters 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.
In conjunction with the Separation, substantially all of Tyco's outstanding equity awards were converted into like-kind awards of ADT, Tyco and Pentair. Pursuant to the terms of the 2012 Separation and Distribution Agreement, each of the three companies is responsible for issuing its own shares upon employee exercises of stock option awards or vesting of restricted stock units. However, the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement provides that any allowable compensation tax deduction for such awards is to be claimed by the employee's current employer. The 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement requires the employer claiming a tax deduction for shares issued by the other companies to pay a percentage of the allowable tax deduction to the company issuing the equity. As a result, during the nine months ended June 28, 2013, the Company recorded a net receivable of $22 million due from Tyco and Pentair, the offset of which is reflected as other income in the Company's Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.
10. Earnings Per Share
Following the Separation, the Company had 231,094,332 common shares outstanding. This amount was used as the starting point for calculating weighted-average shares outstanding for the periods prior to the Separation. Additionally, diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the quarter and nine months ended June 29, 2012, was determined assuming that the Separation occurred on the first day of fiscal year 2012. The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters and nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012 is as follows:

The computation of diluted earnings per share for the quarter and nine months ended June 28, 2013 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 1.0 million shares and 0.8 million shares, respectively, of stock as the effect would have been anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted earnings per share for the quarter and nine months ended June 29, 2012 excludes the effect of the potential exercise of options to purchase approximately 0.8 million shares of stock as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
11. Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges, Net
From time to time, the Company will initiate various restructuring actions which result in employee severance, facility exit and other restructuring costs, as described below. In 2011, the Company initiated a multi-year restructuring program (the “2011 Program”), and in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012, the Company initiated restructuring actions in conjunction with the Separation. Under these programs, the Company has incurred restructuring and asset impairment charges (reversals), net, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. A summary of these charges for the quarters and nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012 is as follows ($ in millions):

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, Consolidated and Combined 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 28, 2012, which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 27, 2012 (the "2012 Form 10-K"). 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 Item 1A. Risk Factors and under the heading “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below.
The Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements include our combined operations, assets and liabilities and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). As part of a plan to separate into three independent companies, on or prior to September 28, 2012, Tyco transferred the equity interests of the entities that held all of the assets and liabilities of its residential and small business security business in the United States and Canada to ADT (the “Separation”). Our Condensed and Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 28, 2013 and September 28, 2012 reflect the consolidated financial position of ADT and its subsidiaries as an independent publicly-traded company. Additionally, our Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the quarter and nine months ended June 28, 2013, as well as the Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 reflect ADT's operations and cash flows as a standalone company. Prior to the Separation on September 28, 2012, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows consisted of Tyco's residential and small business security business in the United States, Canada and certain U.S. territories and were derived from Tyco's historical accounting records and presented on a carve-out basis. As such, our Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the quarter and nine months ended June 29, 2012 and our Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended June 29, 2012 consist of the combined results of operations of the ADT North American Residential Security Business of Tyco.
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 2013 and fiscal year 2012 are 52-week years.
Business Overview
ADT is a leading provider of electronic security, interactive home and business automation and related monitoring services. We currently serve approximately 6.5 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 wisely 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 “Creating Customers for Life” by maintaining consistently high levels of customer satisfaction, which increases customer tenure and improves 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 net operating cash flow 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 also 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 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. We evaluate our customer retention based upon the recurring revenue lost resulting from customer attrition, net of dealer charge-backs and re-sales. Dealer charge-backs represent customer cancellations charged back to the dealers because the customer cancelled 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 attrition rate is a 52 week trailing ratio, the numerator of which is the annualized recurring revenue lost during the period due to attrition 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.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2013, we determined that our customer attrition rates in prior periods have been overstated due to inaccurate capture of certain re-sale activity. As a result, historical customer attrition rates have been adjusted. This adjustment had no impact on our financial statements for any prior periods. The following table reflects the revised rates for periods from September 30, 2011 through March 28, 2013:
|
| | | |
| Revised | | Previously Reported |
September 30, 2011 | 12.7% | | 13.0% |
December 30, 2011 | 12.7% | | 13.0% |
March 30, 2012 | 12.9% | | 13.2% |
June 29, 2012 | 13.2% | | 13.5% |
September 28, 2012 | 13.5% | | 13.8% |
December 28, 2012 | 13.4% | | 13.8% |
March 29, 2013 | 13.5% | | 13.9% |
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, 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, Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations and 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 the cost of acquiring new customers reflected in our Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations and include advertising, marketing, and both direct and indirect selling costs for all new accounts as well as sales commissions and installation equipment and labor costs.
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 free from any significant existing obligation and is available to service debt and make investments. 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.”

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, Consolidated and Combined 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, Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations for the quarters ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012:

Revenue
Revenue increased by $19 million, or 2.3%, to $833 million for the quarter ended June 28, 2013 as compared with the quarter ended June 29, 2012, as a result of growth in recurring customer revenue, which increased by $31 million, or 4.2%. The majority of this increase was related to higher average revenue per customer. The increase in recurring customer revenue was partially offset by a reduction of $12 million, or 14.8%, in other revenue due to the mix shift toward more ADT-owned systems rather than outright system sales, increasing deferred revenue and reducing current period installation revenue.
Average revenue per customer increased by $1.72, or 4.5%, as of June 28, 2013 compared with June 29, 2012. This increase was primarily due to price escalations on our existing customer base and the addition of new customers at higher rates, including increased take rates on ADT Pulse, as well as the impact of existing customers upgrading to ADT Pulse and other higher priced offerings.
Gross customer additions fell by 15,000, or 5.2%, for the quarter ended June 28, 2013 as compared with the quarter ended June 29, 2012, as a result of lower levels of dealer generated customer accounts and bulk account purchases. Net of attrition, our ending number of customers grew by 5,000, or 0.1%, from June 29, 2012 to June 28, 2013. Annualized customer attrition as of June 28, 2013 was 13.8% compared with 13.2% as of June 29, 2012, and attrition was up 30 basis points from March 29, 2013, primarily as a result of relocations.
Operating Income
Operating income of $192 million decreased by $1 million, or 0.5%, for the quarter ended June 28, 2013 as compared with the quarter ended June 29, 2012. Operating margin was 23.0% for the quarter ended June 28, 2013 compared with 23.7% for the quarter ended June 29, 2012. Operating expenses for the quarter ended June 28, 2013, which included $6 million of non-recurring costs related to the Separation, totaled $641 million, up 3.2% or $20 million as compared with the quarter ended June 29, 2012. The increase in operating expenses includes $23 million in higher depreciation and amortization expense related to our subscriber system assets and dealer generated accounts. This increase primarily reflects the impact of increased take rates on higher cost offerings, including ADT Pulse, as well as the mix shift toward more ADT-owned systems and overall account growth. Cost to serve expenses totaled $245 million for the quarter ended June 28, 2013 as compared to $231 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2012. Cost to serve expenses for the quarter ended June 29, 2012 include integration costs related to the acquisition of Broadview Security of $2 million and approximately $1 million in restructuring related expenses. After considering these items, cost to serve expenses increased by approximately $17 million for the quarter ended June 28, 2013 as compared with the quarter ended June 29, 2012. This increase was primarily a result of higher corporate costs and dis-synergies associated with the separation of our business from the commercial security business of Tyco and account growth. The overall increase in operating expenses was partially offset by a $26 million reduction in gross subscriber acquisition cost expenses, which resulted from the deferral of a higher proportion of upfront installation costs associated with the mix shift toward more ADT-owned systems.
Interest Expense, net
Net interest expense was $31 million for the quarter ended June 28, 2013 compared with $26 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2012. Interest expense for the quarter ended June 28, 2013 is comprised primarily of interest on our long-term debt, which reflects an increase in borrowings related to the issuance of $700 million in notes during January 2013. Interest expense for the quarter ended June 29, 2012 includes $22 million of allocated interest expense related to Tyco's external debt and $3 million of financing costs incurred in connection with a bridge facility.
Other Income
During the quarter ended June 28, 2013, the Company recorded $1 million of other income, which represents non-taxable income recorded pursuant to the tax sharing agreement entered into in conjunction with the Separation. See Note 9 to the Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for more information.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense of $49 million decreased $16 million for the quarter ended June 28, 2013 as compared with the quarter ended June 29, 2012, while the effective tax rate fell to 30.2% from 38.9%. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 28, 2013 reflects the favorable impact of an adjustment to the state tax rate at which we expect to settle our net deferred tax liabilities. This adjustment resulted in a tax benefit of $7 million during the period. See Note 8 to the Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for more information. 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 $47 million, or 1.9%, to $2.5 billion during the nine months ended June 28, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended June 29, 2012, as a result of growth in recurring customer revenue, which increased by $103 million, or 4.8%. The majority of this increase was related to higher average revenue per customer. The increase in recurring customer revenue was partially offset by a reduction of $56 million, or 22.0%, in other revenue due to the mix shift toward more ADT-owned systems rather than outright system sales, increasing deferred revenue and reducing current period installation revenue.
Average revenue per customer increased by $1.72, or 4.5%, as of June 28, 2013 compared with June 29, 2012. This increase was primarily due to price escalations on our existing customer base and the addition of new customers at higher rates, including increased take rates on ADT Pulse, as well as the impact of existing customers upgrading to ADT Pulse and other higher priced offerings.
Gross customer additions fell by 41,000, or 4.7%, during the nine months ended June 28, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended June 29, 2012, primarily as a result of lower dealer channel production. Net of attrition, our ending number of customers grew by 5,000, or 0.1%, from June 29, 2012 to June 28, 2013. Annualized customer attrition as of June 28, 2013 was 13.8% compared with 13.2% as of June 29, 2012, and attrition was up 30 basis points from March 29, 2013, primarily as a result of relocations. We continue to focus on delivering high quality services and our disciplined customer selection process in order to limit customer attrition.
Operating Income
Operating income of $552 million decreased by $3 million, or 0.5%, for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended June 29, 2012. Operating margin was 22.4% for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 compared with 23.0% for the nine months ended June 29, 2012. Operating expenses for the nine months ended June 28, 2013, which included $17 million of non-recurring costs related to the Separation, totaled $1.9 billion, up 2.7% or $50 million as compared to the nine months ended June 29, 2012. The increase in operating expenses includes $60 million in higher depreciation and amortization expense related to our subscriber system assets and dealer generated accounts. Cost to serve expenses totaled $743 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 as compared to $700 million for the nine months ended June 29, 2012. Cost to serve expenses for the nine months ended June 29, 2012 include integration costs related to the acquisition of Broadview Security of $12 million and restructuring related expenses of approximately $2 million. After considering these items, cost to serve expenses increased by approximately $57 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended June 29, 2012. This increase was primarily a result of higher corporate costs and dis-synergies associated with the separation of our business from the commercial security business of Tyco, increased customer service and maintenance expenses driven by investments to improve customer retention and account growth. The overall increase in operating expenses was partially offset by a $76 million reduction in gross subscriber acquisition cost expenses, which resulted from the deferral of a higher proportion of upfront installation costs associated with the mix shift toward more ADT-owned systems.
Interest Expense, net
Net interest expense was $85 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 compared with $70 million for the nine months ended June 29, 2012. Interest expense for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 is comprised primarily of interest on our long-term debt, which reflects an increase in borrowings related to the issuance of $700 million in notes during January 2013. Interest expense for the nine months ended June 29, 2012 includes $64 million of allocated interest expense related to Tyco's external debt and $3 million of financing costs incurred in connection with a bridge facility.
Other Income
During the nine months ended June 28, 2013, the Company recorded $23 million of other income, which is comprised primarily of $22 million of non-taxable income recorded pursuant to the tax sharing agreement entered into in conjunction with the Separation. See Note 9 to the Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for more information.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense of $165 million decreased $20 million for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 as compared to the nine months ended June 29, 2012, while the effective tax rate fell to 33.7% from 38.1%. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 reflects the favorable impact of an adjustment to the state tax rate at which we expect to settle our net deferred tax liabilities. This adjustment resulted in a tax benefit of $7 million during the period. See Note 8 to the Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for more information. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 also reflects the favorable impact resulting from $22 million in non-taxable other income. See Note 9 to the Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for more information on other income. These favorable items were partially offset by the impact of a discrete charge of $6 million due to a California legislative change enacted on November 6, 2012. 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
In an effort 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.
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 may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Furthermore, 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 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 that is free from significant existing obligations and available for other uses.
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 for our programs than the most comparable GAAP measure. 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.

These increases were primarily due to the impact of higher recurring customer revenue, partially offset by the impact of increased cost to serve expenses as discussed above. Additionally, other income primarily related to the 2012 Tax Sharing Agreement increased EBITDA for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 by $23 million.

For the nine months ended June 28, 2013, FCF increased $58 million compared to the nine months ended June 29, 2012. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $142 million in net cash provided by operating activities, which primarily resulted from higher EBITDA and improvements in working capital, and a decrease of $66 million in cash paid for dealer generated customer accounts and bulk account purchases. These factors were partially offset by an increase of $147 million in internally generated subscriber systems and an increase of $3 million in capital expenditures. Approximately $73 million of the increase in internally generated subscriber systems resulted from the mix shift toward more ADT-owned systems and is substantially offset by higher cash flows from operating activities related to increases in deferred subscriber acquisition 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 includes 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. Prior to the Separation, our cash was regularly “swept” by Tyco at its discretion in conjunction with its centralized approach to cash management and financing of operations. Transfers of cash both to and from Tyco's cash management system are reflected as changes in parent company investment in the Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended June 29, 2012.
Liquidity
At June 28, 2013, we had $272 million in cash and equivalents and another $750 million available under our revolving credit facility. As of June 28, 2013, we had not borrowed under our revolving credit facility. Our primary future cash needs are 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 $2 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 cover our operational and business needs in the next twelve months.
On January 14, 2013, we issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due 2023 to certain institutional investors pursuant to certain exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Net cash proceeds from the issuance of this term indebtedness totaled $694 million and were primarily used for the repurchase of outstanding shares of our common stock. Interest is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, and the first payment was made on June 15, 2013. 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.
Share Repurchases
On November 26, 2012, our board of directors approved $2 billion of share repurchases over a period of three years. 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 28, 2013, we made open market repurchases of 10.6 million shares of our common stock at an average price of $43.74 per share. The total cost of open market repurchases for the nine months ended June 28, 2013 was approximately $462 million, all of which was paid during the period. Additionally, between June 29, 2013 and July 17, 2013, we repurchased 2.1 million shares of our common stock for approximately $88 million.
On January 29, 2013, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement under which we repurchased 12.6 million shares of our common stock for $600 million at an average price of $47.60 per share. This accelerated share repurchase program, which was funded with proceeds from our January 2013 debt offering, was completed on April 2, 2013.
Dividends
During the nine months ended June 28, 2013 our board of directors declared three quarterly dividends on our common stock of $0.125 per share. The dividend declared on November 26, 2012 was paid on December 18, 2012 to stockholders of record on December 10, 2012. The dividend declared on January 10, 2013 was paid on February 20, 2013 to stockholders of record on January 30, 2013. The dividend declared on March 14, 2013 was paid on May 15, 2013 to stockholders of record on April 24, 2013.
On July 19, 2013, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on our common stock of $0.125 per share. This dividend will be paid on August 21, 2013 to stockholders of record on July 31, 2013.
We currently anticipate that all of these dividends will likely represent a return of capital to our stockholders.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
For the nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, we reported net cash provided by operating activities of $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. See discussion of changes in net cash provided by operating activities included in FCF under “-Results of Operations-Non-GAAP Measures.”
Cash Flows from Investing Activities

(in millions) | June 28, 2013 | | June 29, 2012 |
Net cash used in investing activities | $ | (908 | ) | | $ | (815 | ) |
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 generate new customer accounts, 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 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, our investing activities included cash paid for subscriber system asset additions and capital expenditures totaling $462 million and $312 million, respectively. Additionally, during the nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012, we paid $428 million and $494 million, respectively, for customer contracts for electronic security services. Customer contracts generated under the ADT dealer program and bulk account purchases during the nine months ended June 28, 2013 and June 29, 2012 totaled
approximately 355,000 and 403,000, respectively. Finally, on October 1, 2012, we acquired Absolute Security which resulted in net cash paid of $16 million during the period.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities

(in millions) | June 28, 2013 | | June 29, 2012 |
Net cash used in financing activities | $ | (324 | ) | | $ | (381 | ) |
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 under our approved share repurchase plan, which were partially funded with the $694 million in net proceeds from our January 2013 debt offering. Additionally, during the nine months ended June 28, 2013, we paid dividends on our common stock of $86 million and $6 million for share repurchases related to shares purchased from employees to cover tax withholdings. We also received $77 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and $61 million in funds from Tyco and Pentair, which related to the allocation of funds between the companies as outlined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement between Tyco and ADT. For the nine months ended June 29, 2012, the net cash used in financing activities was primarily the result of changes in parent company investment of $420 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 28, 2013, we had $16 million in standby letters of credit related to our insurance programs. We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 28, 2012.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. 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 fiscal 2013, 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 2012 Form 10-K. See Note 1 to the Condensed, Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for information about recent accounting pronouncements.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Report contains certain information that may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. While we have specifically identified certain information as being forward-looking in the context of its presentation, we caution you that all statements contained in this report that are not clearly historical in nature, including statements regarding business strategies, market potential, future financial performance, the effects of the separation of ADT from Tyco and other matters, are forward-looking. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, any time we use the words "anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "project," "intend," "plan," "believe," "continue" and similar expressions, we intend to clearly express that the information deals with possible future events and is forward-looking in nature. However, the absence of these words or similar expressions does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
Forward-looking information involves risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in, or reasonably inferred from, such statements. Therefore, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Much of the information in this report that looks towards future performance of the Company is based on various factors and important assumptions about future events that may or may not actually occur. As a result, our operations and financial results in the future could differ materially and substantially from those we have discussed in the forward-looking statements included in this report. We assume no obligation (and specifically disclaim any such obligation) to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
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 2012 Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain controls and other procedures 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 rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be in this report is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, 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 only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the possible controls and procedures. Each reporting period, the Company carries out an evaluation, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act.
Based on management's evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, have concluded that, as of June 28, 2013, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits 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 principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Before the Separation, we relied on certain financial information and resources of Tyco to manage specific aspects of our business and report results. These included investor relations, corporate communications, accounting, tax, legal, human resources, benefit plan administration, benefit plan reporting, general management, real estate, treasury, insurance and risk management, and oversight functions, such as board of directors and internal audit which includes Sarbanes Oxley compliance. In conjunction with the Separation, we enhanced our financial, administrative, and other support systems and expanded our accounting, reporting, legal and internal audit departments. We also revised and adopted policies, as needed, to meet all regulatory requirements applicable to us as a standalone publicly traded company. While most of these changes in staffing, policies and systems were accomplished prior to September 28, 2012, the effective date of the Separation, we continue to review and document our internal controls over financial reporting, and may from time to time, make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness. These efforts may lead to changes in our internal control over financial reporting.
Other than those noted above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2013 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.
We were named as a defendant in two putative class actions that were filed on behalf of purported classes of persons who claim to have received unsolicited “robocalls” in contravention of the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”). These lawsuits were brought by plaintiffs seeking class action status and monetary damages on behalf of all plaintiffs who allegedly received such unsolicited calls, claiming that millions of calls were made by third party entities on our behalf. We assert that such entities were not retained by us nor authorized to make calls on our behalf. These matters have been consolidated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois into one civil action. During fiscal year 2012, we entered into an agreement to settle this litigation and increased our legal reserve by $15 million. On June 21, 2013, the District Court approved the settlement and entered a Final Order of Judgment and Dismissal. Final payment is expected to be made during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2013.
In addition, we are subject to various claims and lawsuits in the ordinary course of our business, including from time to time contractual disputes, 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 9 to the Condensed, Consolidated and Combined 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.
ADT's significant business risks are described in Part I, Item 1A. in our 2012 Form 10-K. Management does not believe that there have been any material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our 2012 Form 10-K.

(1) | Average price per share reflects 1.2 million shares received by the Company upon completion of its $600 million accelerated share repurchase program. Although the cash payment related to these shares was made in February 2013, the shares were not received by the Company until April 2, 2013. Excluding the 1.2 million shares, the average settlement price during the period from March 30, 2013 to April 26, 2013 was $45.44 and the average settlement price during the quarter ended June 28, 2013 was $42.02. |
