Forward Guidance

The Company is revising its financial guidance for 2023, primarily to account for the recent divestiture of the commercial business, which is now reported as discontinued operations, and updated operating performance. Strong CSB performance is mostly offsetting weaker Solar underperformance, which has allowed ADT to maintain slightly narrowed guidance within the prior ranges after adjusting for the divestiture.
