ADT Inc. (NYSE: ADT) reported solid overall revenue growth of 4% for its Q1 2023. The results include 7% growth from its Consumer and Small Business (CSB) division, (which includes smart home) and a 15% increase in its commercial security business.

ADT’s total revenue for the first quarter of $1.6 billion, up 4%, and end-of-period recurring monthly revenue (RMR) of $378 million, up 4%. Most notably. Its customer retention rate fell to a record low of 12.5%, and its payback time period for its subsidized residential smart home installations fell to its lowest level ever at 2 years. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $625 million, up $24 million or 4%.

Breaking out the divisions, the CSB group had revenues of $1.029 billion for the quarter. ADT Commercial has revenues of $335 million, while ADT Solar had $145 million in revenues (down 25%).

“Demonstrating the resiliency of our business model, we had a strong start to 2023 with continued momentum in generating revenue and cash flow growth,” said ADT President and CEO, Jim DeVries. “Contributing to this momentum were a number of initiatives including our Google partnership, the strength of our commercial business and our execution plans for changing the trajectory in solar. ADT remains on track for continued positive progress across all our businesses and advancing toward our 2025 goals.”

ADT Q1 Highlights

Among the highlights from the company during Q1 was the launch of the ADT and State Farm pilot program in Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvania. The pilot program is expected to expand to nine states by year end 2023. The company also began selling the ADT Self Setup smart home security system for DIY customers in February, which integrates Google Nest smart home products with ADT security and life safety technology, through the convenient control of the new ADT+ app. The company says sales have “exceeded expectations” since launch.

In Q1, ADT Commercial sold its first autonomous guarding solution dubbed EvoGuard. The autonomous intelligent guarding solutions is aimed at helping to cost-effectively enhance corporate security programs, while responding to high turnover rates and ongoing labor shortages in the guarding market. The company anticipates commercialization of the indoor drones later in 2023.

Lastly, the company’s Virtual Assistance  program that connects DIY customers with a professional installer hit a milestone of more than 1 million appointments.

Looking ahead, the company reaffirmed its full year revenue guidance of between $6.6 billion and $6.85 billion for the full year of 2023.

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.

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
