Various factors could adversely affect ADT’s operations, business or financial results in the future and cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. ADT’s actual results could differ materially from management’s expectations because of such factors, including: competition in the markets ADT serves, including new entrants in these markets; ADT’s ability to develop or acquire new technology; failure to maintain the security of ADT’s information and technology networks; allegations that ADT has infringed the intellectual property rights of third parties; unauthorized use of ADT’s brand name; risks associated with ownership of the ADT® brand name outside of the United States and Canada by Tyco International Ltd. (“Tyco”); failure to enforce ADT’s intellectual property rights; ADT’s dependence on certain software technology that ADT licenses from third parties; failure or interruption in products or services of third-party providers; ADT’s greater exposure to liability for employee acts or omissions or system failures; an increase in the rate of customer attrition; downturns in the housing market and consumer discretionary income; risks associated with ADT’s non-compete and non-solicit arrangements with Tyco; entry of potential competitors upon the expiration of non-competition agreements; shifts in consumers’ choice of, or telecommunication providers’ support for, telecommunication services and equipment; interruption to ADT’s monitoring facilities; interference with ADT’s customers’ access to some of ADT’s products and services through the Internet by broadband service providers; potential impairment of ADT’s deferred tax assets; changes in U.S. and non-U.S. governmental laws and regulations; risks associated with acquiring and integrating customer accounts; potential loss of authorized dealers and affinity marketing relationships; failure to realize expected benefits from acquisitions; risks associated with pursuing business opportunities that diverge from our current business model; potential liabilities for obligations of The Brink’s Company under the Coal Act; potential liabilities for legacy obligations relating to the separation from Tyco; capital market conditions, including availability of funding sources; risks related to ADT’s increased indebtedness; changes in ADT’s credit ratings; failure to fully realize expected benefits from the separation from Tyco; and difficulty in operating as an independent public company separate from Tyco.
