Insights

Financial Analyst

The reported increase in SaaS and license revenue for both the fourth quarter and the full year indicates a robust demand for Alarm.com's services, which is a key metric for the company's recurring revenue stream. The growth in GAAP net income and non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA suggests operational efficiency and effective cost management, which are essential for enhancing shareholder value. The stock market typically responds favorably to such financial health indicators, as they reflect a company's ability to generate profit and potentially return value to shareholders through dividends or stock buybacks.

Moreover, the company's cash and cash equivalents position has strengthened, providing Alarm.com with a solid liquidity buffer to navigate market uncertainties or invest in strategic initiatives. The share repurchase activity also signals management's confidence in the intrinsic value of the company, which could be perceived positively by investors. However, it's crucial to monitor how these buybacks are financed and their impact on the company's capital structure.

Alarm.com's forward-looking guidance for 2024 suggests a continued trajectory of growth in SaaS and license revenue. Such projections can influence investor expectations and stock valuation. However, it is important to consider the risks associated with forward-looking statements, as they are based on current management expectations and subject to market dynamics and other external factors.

Market Research Analyst

Alarm.com's introduction of new features like Property Actions and Vacation Watch indicates a commitment to innovation and customer-centric product development. These enhancements not only improve user experience but also add competitive edge in the smart property technology market. The successful launch of the demand side management program in Ontario, Canada, exemplifies the company's capability to scale and adapt its solutions to different markets, potentially opening up new revenue streams.

The settlement of litigation with Vivint and the subsequent licensing agreement is a significant development that removes legal uncertainties and potential financial liabilities. This outcome can improve investor sentiment as it allows the company to focus on its core business without the distraction and expense of ongoing litigation. Furthermore, the resolution may foster a more collaborative industry environment, potentially leading to partnerships or cross-licensing opportunities that can further drive innovation and market expansion.

Legal Expert

From a legal perspective, the settlement of all litigation with Vivint and the establishment of a long-term intellectual property license agreement is a notable event. It not only reduces the risk of future legal costs but also secures a predictable revenue stream from the licensing agreement. For stakeholders, the resolution of such disputes is often a relief, as it eliminates a significant source of risk and uncertainty that can overshadow a company's operational and financial performance.

It's imperative to understand the terms of the license agreement, as they can have material implications for Alarm.com's long-term financial health. For instance, the agreement's duration, royalty rates and scope of the licensed technology can affect future revenue and strategic positioning within the industry. Stakeholders should assess the licensing terms in relation to industry norms to gauge the deal's fairness and strategic value.

Recent Business Highlights

• Introduced Property Actions to Alarm Response Software: During an alarm event, Alarm.com’s monitoring station partners can now respond by unlocking doors and turning on lights at the affected property. The new controls can facilitate property access for first responders and keep property owners safer during emergencies. The new controls augment Alarm.com’s expanding range of AI-powered alarm verification capabilities, which include Enhanced Visual Verification, Person On-Site Indicator and Escalated Events. Robust privacy controls give subscribers tight control over which devices a monitoring agent can access and real-time visibility into all actions taken by the operator.
• Launched New Video Analytics Rule for Privacy Control: Vacation Watch allows subscribers to schedule video monitoring start and end times providing continuous protection during extended absences. Cameras automatically disable recording based on the subscriber’s return schedule, reinforcing privacy, and preventing unwarranted monitoring escalations. Vacation Watch works with Alarm.com’s Escalated Events capability to automatically forward video-triggered events to the monitoring station for assessment and possible intervention.
• EnergyHub Announces Record-Setting Program Launch: Ontario Canada's Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) partnered with EnergyHub to launch its Save on Energy Peak Perks™ demand side management program.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated selected financial data presented on a basis consistent with GAAP, this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, including non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA, non-GAAP adjusted income before income taxes, non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted income attributable to common stockholders before income taxes, non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders, non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders per share, non-GAAP free cash flow, non-GAAP adjusted SaaS and license revenue and non-GAAP adjusted SaaS and license revenue growth rate. We have included non-GAAP measures in this press release because they are financial, operating or liquidity measures used by our management to (i) understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends and generate future operating plans, (ii) make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital and investments in initiatives that are focused on cultivating new markets for our solutions and (iii) provide useful information to management about the amount of cash generated by the business after necessary capital expenditures. We also use non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure under our executive bonus plan. Further, we believe that these non-GAAP measures of our financial results provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, business trends and financial condition. While we believe the use of these non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors and management in analyzing our financial performance, non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts and transactions that are included in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP measures do not serve as an alternative to GAAP nor do we consider our non-GAAP measures in isolation. Accordingly, we present non-GAAP financial measures only in connection with GAAP results. We urge investors to consider non-GAAP measures only in conjunction with our GAAP financials and to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, which are included in this press release.

We consider non-GAAP free cash flow to be a liquidity measure, which we define as cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property and equipment.

With respect to our expectations under “Financial Outlook” above, reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures. In particular, non-ordinary course litigation expense, acquisition-related expense and tax windfall adjustments can have unpredictable fluctuations based on unforeseen activity that is out of our control and/or cannot reasonably be predicted. We expect the above charges to have a significant and potentially highly variable impact on our future GAAP financial results.

We exclude one or more of the following items from non-GAAP financial and operating measures:

Interest expense: We record interest expense primarily related to the January 2021 issuance of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due January 15, 2026, or the 2026 Notes. We exclude interest expense in calculating our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. For non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders and non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders per share, basic and diluted, we do not exclude interest expense other than the interest expense related to the amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discount related to the 2026 Notes as discussed below.

Interest income and certain activity within other income / (expense), net: We exclude interest income as well as certain activity within other income / (expense), net including gains, losses or impairments on investments and other assets, gains on settlement fees as well as losses on the early extinguishment of the debt, when applicable, from our non-GAAP financial measures because we do not consider it part of our ongoing results of operations.

Provision for / (benefit from) income taxes: We exclude the impact related to our provision for / (benefit from) income taxes from our non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA calculation. We do not consider this tax adjustment to be part of our ongoing results of operations.

Amortization expense: GAAP requires that operating expenses include the amortization of acquired intangible assets, which principally include acquired customer relationships, developed technology and trade names. We exclude amortization of intangibles from our non-GAAP financial measures because we do not consider amortization expense when we evaluate our ongoing business operations, nor do we factor amortization expense into our evaluation of potential acquisitions, or our measurement of the performance of those acquisitions. We believe that the exclusion of amortization expense enables the comparison of our performance to other companies in our industry as other companies may be more or less acquisitive than us and therefore, amortization expense may vary significantly by company based on their acquisition history. Although we exclude amortization of acquired intangible assets from our non-GAAP financial measures, management believes that it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation.

Depreciation expense: We record depreciation primarily for investments in property and equipment. We exclude depreciation in calculating non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA because we do not consider depreciation when we evaluate our ongoing business operations. For non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders and non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders per share, basic and diluted, we do not exclude depreciation.

Amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discount: We record amortization of debt issuance costs and previously recorded amortization of debt discount related to the 2026 Notes as interest expense. We exclude amortization of debt issuance costs and debt discount from our non-GAAP adjusted net income, non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders and non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders per share, basic and diluted, because we believe that the exclusion of this non-cash interest expense will provide for more meaningful information about our financial performance.

Stock-based compensation expense: We exclude stock-based compensation expense, which relates to restricted stock units and other forms of equity incentives primarily awarded to employees of Alarm.com, because they are non-cash charges that we do not consider when assessing the operating performance of our business. Additionally, the determination of stock-based compensation expense can be calculated using various methodologies and is dependent upon subjective assumptions and other factors that vary on a company-by-company basis. Therefore, we believe that excluding stock-based compensation expense from our non-GAAP financial measures improves the comparability of our results to the results of other companies in our industry.

Acquisition-related expense: Included in operating expenses are incremental costs directly related to business and asset acquisitions as well as changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, when applicable. We exclude acquisition-related expense from our non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that the exclusion of this expense allows us to better provide meaningful information about our operating performance, facilitates comparisons to our historical operating results, improves the comparability of our results to the results of other companies in our industry, and ultimately, we believe helps investors better understand the acquisition-related expense and the effects of the transaction on our results of operations.

Litigation expense: We exclude non-ordinary course litigation expense because we do not consider legal costs and settlement fees incurred and received in litigation and litigation-related matters of non-ordinary course lawsuits and other disputes, particularly costs incurred in ongoing intellectual property litigation, to be indicative of our core operating performance. We do not adjust for ordinary course legal expenses, including those expenses resulting from maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property portfolio and license agreements.

Vivint license revenue: We excluded Vivint license revenue from our non-GAAP adjusted SaaS and license revenue and non-GAAP adjusted SaaS and license revenue growth rate because we believe that this exclusion will provide more meaningful information about our financial performance on a comparable basis, given that we were not recording Vivint license revenue effective beginning in the fourth quarter of 2022 and through December 31, 2023. On December 21, 2023, Alarm.com and Vivint agreed to settle all outstanding litigation between the parties and to enter into a long-term intellectual property license agreement under which Alarm.com will license to Vivint its intellectual property portfolio.
