Vivint Announces 2021 Fiscal Results; Adds 360,500 New Subscribers

PROVO, Utah — Vivint Smart Home (NYSE: VVNT) recently announced its fiscal year 2021 results, revealing it added 360,509 new subscribers bringing its total customer base to 1,855,141. In terms of revenue, full year revenues grew by 18%, or $227 million, bringing total revenues to $1.48 billion.

“Last year was extraordinary for Vivint,” says David Bywater, CEO of Vivint Smart Home. “Our team delivered record results in 2021, adding more than 360,000 new subscribers while outperforming our full-year guidance on total subscribers, revenue and adjusted EBITDA. Our attrition rate decreased to a 14-quarter low of 11.3%, which was 110 basis points lower than the prior year. We saw meaningful progress on our Smart Energy and Smart Insurance initiatives which we are eager to expand in 2022 as we pursue our mission to make our customers’ homes smarter, greener and safer while saving them money.”

Dale R. Gerard, CFO of Vivint Smart Home, adds, “Many of the underlying metrics of the business showed strong improvement year over year, leading to expanded growth in adjusted EBITDA and strong cash flow generation in the face of significant inflationary pressures. We expect to see continued growth in subscribers, revenue, profitability, and cash in 2022 as we look to solidify our position as a ‘Category of One’ in the smart home space.”

Speaking of EBITDA, Vivint increased its cash flow by $33.8 million in Q4 to $178.4 million. For the year, EBITDA was up $90.3 million to $669.1 million. The company still had a net loss of $53.5 million in Q4, but that is $131.3 million less than Q4 last year.

For the year, the company reported a net loss of $305.6 million, which is down by nearly $300 million from the previous year. Vivint’s Q4 revenues grew by $65.3 million to $396.2 million, an increase of 19.7%.

At the same time, the Provo, Utah-based company reported its lowest subscriber attrition rate in more than three years of 11.3% in its latest quarter. The full year subscriber growth equates to 9.4%.

Looking ahead, Vivint Smart Home is anticipating total subscribers to be between 1.95 million and 2 million in total, with revenues between $1.60 billion and $1.63 billion.

Beyond its smart home focus, Vivint is bullish on its new Smart Energy initiative, having sold more than 45 megawatts of solar in 2021, bringing smart energy to about 5,000 homes. Meanwhile, its Smart Insurance program is just getting going. Wall Street investors reacted positively to the news with Vivint’s stock rising as much as 22% before settling lower.

Top 10 Security Stories From October 2021: China Ban Gains Steam, Vivint Countersues ADT

October saw its fair share of legal issues and acquisitions. This month, lawsuits involved home security companies, a gunshot detection provider and even a media company. Vivint Smart Home is seeking retribution for the lawsuit ADT filed against it last year that alleged Vivint salespeople go to ADT customers’ homes, get them to sign Vivint contracts and install the company’s alarm systems in their homes under false pretenses. Vivint had requested a motion to have that lawsuit dismissed, but when the judge denied the motion, Vivint launched a countersuit claiming it is in fact ADT that is deceiving and stealing its customers.

Though not a lawsuit, Dahua and Hikvision continue to feel pressure from the U.S. government as it considers a new measure that would make it imp

STEARNS COUNTY, Minn. — Bring Me the News reports that Minnesota’s Attorney General, Keith Ellison, says he’s gotten consumers in Stearns County out of home security contracts after they were misled by a door-to-door salesman. According to the report, Ellison’s office announced that home security companies Skyline Security Management and Safe Home Security have agreed to their cancel contracts with customers in and around Stearns County who purchased their systems from door-to-door salesman Gary Harvey. “Door-to-door salesmen and their employers are in the business of trust-building,” Ellison said in a statement. “They know they need to have your trust to sell you their products, particularly expensive products like security systems that are supposed to keep your home safe. When that trust is betrayed, it’s emotionally and financially painful. I appreciate Skyline and Safe Home taking the right step in canceling these contracts while my office does what we can under the law to hold M
