Current report

•Total revenue increased 7% to $238.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 from $223.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Current report

On January 30, 2025, we entered into a senior secured loan agreement with a service provider partner, under which a term loan was provided to the service provider partner in the original principal amount of $21.5 million, which loan is collateralized by the assets of the service provider partner. Quarterly principal payments begin in the second quarter of 2027. Interest on the outstanding principal accrues at a rate per annum equal to the overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for a period of three months, plus 3.0%. For the first two years of the loan, monthly interest payments can be payable in kind at the election of the borrower. The maturity date of the loan is January 30, 2030.

Current report

On February 10, 2025, Alarm.com Incorporated, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, acquired 81% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of CHeKT, Inc., or CHeKT. CHeKT provides a remote video monitoring service for central station operators that is compatible with a variety of cameras. We believe the acquisition of CHeKT will help to expand our opportunity to provide remote video monitoring solutions in the commercial and residential markets.

Current report

In consideration for the purchase of 81% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of CHeKT, we paid $23.6 million in cash on February 10, 2025, after deducting $3.7 million related to agreed holdback provisions. Pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement, following the preliminary determination of the working capital of CHeKT as of the closing date, the purchase price decreased by $0.2 million. The purchase price allocation was not finalized as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is pending the final determination of the working capital adjustment as well as tax adjustments, including the assessment of any net operating losses acquired and the related limitations on any identified net operating losses.

Current report

On April 28, 2025, we paid $29.1 million in cash to purchase 24.7% of the outstanding shares of Safe Streets USA, LLC. We are still evaluating the accounting treatment for this investment, which will be finalized during the second quarter of 2025.

Current report

In April 2025, the U.S. government announced a baseline tariff of 10% on all products imported into the United States (with certain limited exceptions) and additional individualized tariffs based on country of origin at different rates per country. Certain of these tariffs have been subsequently paused or modified, and the situation remains fluid. The United States and/or countries into which we import products may, in the future, adjust and/or impose new quotas, duties, tariffs or reciprocal tariffs or other restrictions. A significant portion of our hardware is produced outside the United States, including in Vietnam, Thailand and Taiwan. The ultimate impact of any tariffs will depend on various factors, including how long such tariffs remain in place, the ultimate levels of such tariffs and how other countries respond to the U.S. tariffs. Given these tariffs did not become effective until April 2025, there was no impact to our cost of hardware revenue for these new tariffs during the three months ended March 31, 2025. As we look forward, we continue to monitor the changes in tariffs and consider whether we will pass through some or all of the cost of the tariffs to our customers consistent with our contractual rights. Depending on how much, if any, of the cost of tariffs we pass through to our customers, our hardware revenue margins may be impacted. If tariffs are increased through reinstatement of the previously announced tariffs or are expanded to apply to more of our products, such actions may increase our cost of hardware revenue and reduce our hardware revenue margins further. We continue to closely monitor changes in tariff policy and retain flexibility in response.

Current report

Other expense, net increased $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a $2.3 million unrealized loss on equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2025, which did not occur during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Total revenue increased 6% to $697.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $655.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Previous report

In August 2024, we entered into an amendment to the lease for our corporate headquarters, which extends the term of our existing leased office space to 2034 and includes two successive five-year renewal options. Additionally, the amendment provides for additional office space, parking spaces and tenant improvement allowances.

Previous report

Since 2019, the U.S. government has implemented and imposed significant changes to U.S. trade policy with respect to China. Tariffs have subjected certain Alarm.com products manufactured overseas to additional import duties of up to 25%. The amount of the import tariff and the number of products subject to tariffs have changed numerous times based on action by the U.S. government. Less than one-third of the hardware products that we sell to our service provider partners are imported from China and could be subject to increased tariffs. While the additional import duties resulted in an increase to our cost of hardware revenue, these import duties had a modest impact on hardware revenue margins. If tariffs are increased or are expanded to apply to more of our products, such actions may increase our cost of hardware revenue and reduce our hardware revenue margins in the future. We continue to monitor the changes in tariffs.

Previous report

We currently expect our hardware revenue margins in 2024 to approximate the hardware revenue margins from 2023.

Previous report

The $1.4 million decrease in cost of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year was the result of a $3.9 million, or 2%, decrease in cost of hardware and other revenue, partially offset by a $2.5 million, or 4%, increase in cost of SaaS and license revenue. Our cost of software license revenue included within cost of SaaS and license revenue was $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The cost of hardware and other revenue for the Alarm.com segment decreased $3.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in the number of hardware units shipped. The cost of hardware and other revenue for the Other segment decreased $0.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in the number of hardware units shipped. The cost of SaaS and license revenue for the Alarm.com segment increased $0.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the growth in our subscriber base, which drove a corresponding increase in amounts paid to wireless network providers. The cost of SaaS and license revenue for the Other segment increased $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in sales of our energy management and demand response solutions, which drove a corresponding increase in amounts paid to distributed energy resource providers.

Previous report

The $5.7 million decrease in general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a $6.9 million decrease in legal costs for our Alarm.com segment related to intellectual property litigation. This decrease in general and administrative expense was partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in personnel and related costs, a $0.5 million increase in consulting and recruiting costs and a $0.3 million increase in rent expense for our Alarm.com segment. General and administrative expenses from our Other segment decreased by $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a decrease in the provision for credit losses.

Previous report

The $1.2 million increase in research and development expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily due to a $0.5 million increase in personnel and related costs for our Alarm.com segment, attributable in part to an increase in headcount of employees in research and development functions as well as a $0.4 million increase in our expenses for external consultants. Research and development expense from our Other segment increased by $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to an increase in personnel and related costs.

Previous report

Other expense, net decreased $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and increased $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to changes in non-operating and miscellaneous expenses.

Previous report

On January 31, 2024, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 7024, which, among other provisions, would retroactively change the effective date of the requirement to capitalize Section 174 domestic research and development expenditures from January 1, 2022 to January 1, 2026. Foreign research and development expenditures would continue to be capitalized and amortized over 15 years as of January 1, 2022. If the bill is passed by the Senate and signed into law by the President as currently drafted, the bill would allow us to receive a partial refund of the 2022 and 2023 Section 174 federal income tax paid, the amount and timing of which cannot be estimated at this time. Any state impact would depend on the relevant individual state laws.

Previous report

On May 31, 2024, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% convertible senior notes due June 1, 2029 in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers, or the 2029 Notes. The terms of the 2029 Notes are governed by an Indenture, or the 2029 Indenture, by and between Alarm.com Holdings, Inc. and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The 2029 Notes are senior unsecured obligations that bear interest at a rate of 2.25% per annum, payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2024, and the principal amount of the 2029 Notes will not accrete. We received proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Notes of $485.2 million, net of $14.8 million of transaction fees and other debt issuance costs.

Previous report

We may redeem for cash, all or any portion of the 2029 Notes (subject to the partial redemption limitation described below), at our option, on or after June 7, 2027, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the 2029 Notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption. If we redeem less than all the 2029 Notes, at least $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Notes must be outstanding and not subject to redemption as of the relevant redemption notice date. No sinking fund is provided for the 2029 Notes.

Previous report

The 2029 Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2029, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2024 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the 2029 Notes on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period immediately after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each trading day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate for the 2029 Notes on each such trading day; (3) if we call any or all of the 2029 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the 2029 Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as set forth in the 2029 Indenture.

Previous report

On or after January 1, 2029, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the 2029 Notes, holders of the 2029 Notes may convert all or any portion of their 2029 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, we may satisfy our conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. It is our current intent to settle the principal amount of the 2029 Notes with cash. The initial conversion rate for the 2029 Notes is 11.4571 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $87.28 per share of our common stock, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the 2029 Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date of the 2029 Notes or if we deliver a notice of redemption in respect of some or all of the 2029 Notes, we will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate of the 2029 Notes for a holder who elects to convert its 2029 Notes (or any portion thereof) in connection with such a corporate event or convert its 2029 Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption during the related redemption period (as defined in the 2029 Indenture), as the case may be.

Previous report

If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the 2029 Indenture), subject to certain exceptions and except as described in the 2029 Indenture, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2029 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

Previous report

The 2029 Indenture includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the 2029 Notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving us after which the 2029 Notes become automatically due and payable.

Previous report

We used $63.1 million of the net proceeds from the 2029 Notes to pay the cost of the capped call transactions described below and used $75.0 million to repurchase 1,117,068 shares of our common stock concurrently with the pricing of the 2029 Notes, which was separately authorized by our board of directors. We are using the remaining net proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Notes for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions or strategic investments in complementary businesses or technologies, other repurchases of our common stock, repurchases of our 2026 Notes and for working capital, operating expenses and capital expenditures.

Previous report

As permitted under the terms of the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, in 2021 the Compensation Committee authorized the withholding of shares of common stock in connection with the vesting of restricted stock unit awards issued to employees to satisfy applicable tax withholding requirements. These withheld shares are not issued or considered common stock repurchases under our stock repurchase program. No payments of tax withholdings were made related to vesting of restricted stock units during the three months ended September 30, 2024. We paid $3.4 million of tax withholdings related to vesting of restricted stock units during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. No tax withholdings related to the vesting of restricted stock units were paid during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. We also utilized the sell-to-cover method in which shares of our restricted stock unit awards were sold into the market on behalf of the employee upon vesting to cover tax withholding liabilities. We may utilize either the withholding method or sell-to-cover method in the future.

The increase in the provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to the increase in income before income taxes. The increase in the provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year was also due to the increase in income before income taxes, partially offset by a favorable true-up adjustment of our 2023 income tax provision estimate as compared to an unfavorable true-up adjustment of our 2022 income tax provision estimate and the release of an unrecognized tax benefit liability due to the closure of the 2018 and 2019 Internal Revenue Service federal income tax examination during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which did not occur during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

As of September 30, 2024, we had $1.17 billion in cash and cash equivalents.

Previous wording

Beginning in 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 amended Internal Revenue Code Section 174, or Section 174, to eliminate the option to immediately deduct research and development expenditures in the year incurred, requiring these expenditures to be capitalized and amortized over five years for domestic expenditures and over 15 years for foreign expenditures. While we calculated the 2022 federal and state cash tax increase from Section 174 to be $38.1 million, we did not pay this additional cash tax liability as part of our 2022 estimated tax payments due to the possible deferral, modification or repeal of Section 174. The additional 2022 federal cash tax liability was included in current income taxes payable as of December 31, 2022, and was paid in February 2023. The increased 2022 state tax liability was paid in April 2023 in the amount of $7.5 million. We calculated the 2023 federal and state cash tax increase from Section 174 to be $43.5 million, which we paid in April 2024. The Section 174 impact on 2024 cash flows from operating activities will depend on, among other factors, our 2024 operating results and the level of 2024 research and development activity. Based on information currently available to us, we estimate the increased 2024 Section 174 federal and state cash tax payable for our 2024 taxable income to be in the range of $33.0 million to $38.0 million if the requirement to capitalize and amortize research and development expenditures is not deferred, modified or repealed. This estimate is based on the limited information that is currently available and is subject to change. While the largest impact will be to cash flow from operating activities, the impact for domestic research and development expenditures would continue over the five-year amortization period, but would decrease over that period and is expected to be immaterial beginning in year six.

We calculated the 2023 federal and state cash tax increase from Section 174 to be $43.5 million, which we paid in April 2024, and we calculated the 2024 federal and state cash tax increase from Section 174 to be $33.5 million, which we paid in April 2025. The Section 174 impact on 2025 cash flows from operating activities will depend on, among other factors, our 2025 operating results and the level of 2025 research and development activity. Based on information currently available to us, we estimate the 2025 Section 174 federal and state cash tax payable for our 2025 taxable income to be in the range of $25.0 million to $30.0 million if the requirement to capitalize and amortize research and development expenditures is not modified or repealed. This estimate is based on the limited information that is currently available and is subject to change. While the largest impact has been to cash flow from operating activities, the impact for domestic research and development expenditures would continue over the five-year amortization period beginning in 2022, but has decreased over that period and is expected to continue to decrease in the upcoming years. There is discussion of prospectively repealing the requirement to capitalize domestic research and development costs, but there is no assurance such legislation will be enacted.
