Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]  
Divestitures DIVESTITURES
The Company may decide to divest portions of its business for various reasons, including efforts to focus on its remaining businesses. The Company presents discontinued operations for components of the business that are either disposed of through sale (or qualify as held for sale), abandonment, or spin-off if these actions also represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s financial results.
Refer to Note 12 “Earnings per Share” for basic and diluted earnings per share information associated with discontinued operations.
ADT Solar Exit
On January 19, 2024, after a strategic review of the business and continued macroeconomic and industry pressures, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) approved a plan to fully exit the Solar Business. As of June 30, 2024, substantially all operations of the Solar Business had ceased.
The ADT Solar Exit represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, the Solar Business is presented as a discontinued operation in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods presented.
The Solar Business was reflected in the former Solar reportable segment.
Exit charges incurred and paid were not material in 2025.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company incurred aggregate exit charges of $88 million, which have been recognized within income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, related to (i) $33 million associated with the write-down and disposition of inventory and asset impairments, (ii) $29 million associated with the disposition of the existing installation pipeline, (iii) $13 million associated with employee separation costs, and (iv) $12 million associated with contract termination and other charges.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid $22 million associated with the ADT Solar Exit primarily related to employee separation and other restructuring costs.
The following reconciliations represent the major classes of line items of the Solar Business presented within discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations and certain information in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the periods presented.

Commercial Divestiture
On August 7, 2023, the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement to sell substantially all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of its commercial business (the “Commercial Divestiture”). On October 2, 2023, the Company completed the Commercial Divestiture for a purchase price of approximately $1.6 billion, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments, and recognized a pre-tax gain on sale of approximately $630 million, which was recognized in income (loss) from discontinued operations during 2023.
During 2024, the Company paid GTCR $21 million related to the settlement of post-closing adjustments, which is presented in cash flows from investing activities.
The Commercial Divestiture represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. Accordingly, the Commercial Business is presented as a discontinued operation in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods presented.
The Commercial Business was previously reflected in the Commercial reportable segment.
Additionally, as the agreed upon sale price was substantially higher than the carrying value of the Commercial Business, the Company did not record any impairments or adjustments when recognizing the disposal group at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
The following reconciliations represent the major classes of line items of the Commercial Business within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and certain information within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (excluding proceeds from the sale of business discussed above) for the periods presented.

Transition Services Agreement
In connection with the Commercial Divestiture, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (the “Commercial TSA”) for the provision of certain transitional services relating to ongoing support and other administrative functions to each other for a transitional period of up to 24 months after the closing of the Commercial Divestiture. Commercial TSA fees charged to the Commercial Business represent charges for internal labor as well as certain third-party costs identified in connection with providing such services. Income from the Commercial TSA is recognized in other income (expense), and expenses incurred by the Company to support the transition are recorded based on the nature of the expense. During 2025 Commercial TSA income was not material. During 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized income from the Commercial TSA of $40 million and $12 million, respectively.
ADT Brand License and Intellectual Property Rights
The Company and GTCR entered into an agreement granting GTCR a license to continue to use the ADT brand and other Company trademarks for a period of twelve months to transition from Company branding (the “Brand License”). The Company has also agreed to a covenant not to assert a claim against GTCR for infringement of the Company's patents as of the Commercial Divestiture for products and services that were used in the Commercial Business prior to the Commercial Divestiture, and has provided GTCR with a paid-up, irrevocable, non-assignable (with limited exceptions) license to continue to use certain software and other Company intellectual property in the same manner. Royalty income is included in other income (expense) and is not material.
Other Divestitures
During 2025, the Company completed the sale of its multifamily business (the “Multifamily Divestiture”) for a purchase price of approximately $56 million, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments. The Company recorded $12 million of goodwill impairment, which is recognized in SG&A. Any gain or loss on sale pursuant to customary post-closing adjustments is not expected to be material.
During 2023, proceeds related to disposal activities not reflected as discontinued operations totaled $36 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $19 million recognized in SG&A.
