“Less than one-third of the hardware products that we sell to our customers are imported from China and could be subject to increased tariffs. Other Alarm.com hardware products that are not manufactured in China may contain subcomponents made in China that could also be subject to increased tariffs. While the additional import duties have resulted in an increase to our cost of hardware revenue, these import duties had a modest impact on hardware revenue margins. …”see in full comparison
“There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and various other countries, including China, the European Union, Canada and Mexico, with respect to trade policies, treaties, tariffs, customs duties, sanctions and taxes, in particular under the current U.S. administration, which has expressed a desire to impose significant new or increased tariffs on product imports from certain countries. Tariffs have subjected certain Alarm.com products manufactured overseas to additional import duties of up to 25%. …”see in full comparison

“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 have adjusted and/or imposed and may, in the future, adjust and/or impose new quotas, duties, tariffs or reciprocal tariffs or other restrictions. …”see in full comparison

Our revenue, results of operations and cash flows depend on the overall demand for our platforms and solutions. Negative Macroeconomic Conditions in the general economy both in the United States and abroad, including conditions resulting from inflation, new or increased tariffs, changes in gross domestic product growth, financial and credit market fluctuations, energy costs, international trade relations and other geopolitical tensions, the availability and cost of credit, fluctuations in interest rates and the global housing and mortgage markets could cause a decrease in consumer discretionary spending and business investment and diminish growth expectations in the U.S. economy and abroad.
Since we operate on a global basis, our operations could be disrupted by geopolitical conditions, trade disputes, international boycotts and sanctions, political and social instability, acts of war (including the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, and in Israelthe Middle East and surrounding areas), terrorist activity or other similar events. From time to time, we could have a large investment in a particular asset type, a large revenue stream associated with a particular customer or industry, or a large number of customers located in a particular geographic region. A discrete event impacting a specific asset type, customer, industry, or region in which we have a concentrated exposure could negatively impact our results of operations. In addition, it is not possible to predict the broader consequences of the conflicts, and actions taken in response to the conflicts could increase our costs, disrupt our supply chain, reduce our sales and earnings, impair our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all, or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and various other countries, including China, the European Union, Canada and Mexico, with respect to trade policies, treaties, tariffs, customs duties, sanctions and taxes. In particular, the U.S. government has imposed tariffs on products imported from certain countries, and some countries have responded with new or increased tariffs of their own. 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. These imposed and announced tariffs have impacted, or have the potential to impact, our imports from other countries.
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 have adjusted and/or imposed and 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 U.S. government has since announced several tariff framework agreements, including with countries where a significant portion of our hardware is produced, which have impacted our hardware revenue margins. 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, the outcome of pending legal challenges to their validity, how other countries respond to the U.S. tariffs, and the specific timing of when and the degree to which we pass through the cost of the tariffs to our customers consistent with our contractual rights.
If tariffs, sanctions, trade restrictions, or trade barriers are expanded or interpreted by a court or governmental agency to apply to more of our products, then our exposure to future taxes and duties on such imported products and components could be significant and could have a material effect on our financial results. If our products are deemed to be subject to additional duties and taxes as determined by a court or governmental agency, we may suffer additional hardware revenue margin erosion or be required to raise our prices on certain imported products. There can be no assurance that we will not experience a disruption in our business or harm to our financial condition related to these or other changes in trade practices, and any changes to our operations or our sourcing strategy in order to mitigate any such tariff costs could be complicated, time-consuming, and costly. Furthermore, our business may be adversely affected by tariffs or trade measures taken by other countries, which could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. These tariffs may include tariffs imposed by other countries on services, including cloud-based technology services such as those offered by us. Trade barriers, or the perception that any of them could be imposed, may have a negative effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between these nations and the United States. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We have experienced significant growth and also have substantially expanded our operations in a short period of time. Our revenue increased from $749.0$881.7 million in 20212023 to $939.8$1.0112 millionbillion in 2024.2025. We do not expect to achieve similar growth rates in future periods. You should not rely on our operating results for any prior quarterly or annual periods as an indication of our future operating performance. If we are unable to maintain expected revenue growth in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of prior period revenue, our financial results could suffer and our stock price could decline.
Our business, operations and service provider partners are subject to various U.S. federal, state and local consumer protection laws, licensing regulation and other laws and regulations, and to similar laws and regulations in the other countries in which we operate. Our advertising and sales practices and that of our U.S. service provider partner network are subject to regulation by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or the FTC, in addition to state consumer protection laws. The FTC and the Federal Communications CommissionCommission, or the FCC, have issued regulations that place restrictions on, among other things, unsolicited automated telephone calls to residential and wireless telephone subscribers by means of automatic telephone dialing systems and the use of prerecorded or artificial voice messages. If our service provider partners were to take actions in violation of these regulations, such as telemarketing to individuals on the "Do Not Call" registry or using automatic telephone dialing systems and prerecorded or artificial voice messages, we could be subject to fines, penalties, private actions or enforcement actions by government regulators. Although we have taken steps to insulate ourselves from any such wrongful conduct by our service provider partners, and to contractually require our service provider partners to comply with these laws and regulations, we have in the past incurred costs to settle alleged violations of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, or TCPA, and no assurance can be given that we will not be exposed to future liability as result of our service provider partners’ conduct. Further, to the extent that any changes in law or regulation further restrict the lead generation activity of our service provider partners, these restrictions could result in a material reduction in subscriber acquisition opportunities, reducing the growth prospects of our business and adversely affecting our financial condition and future cash flows. In addition, most states in which we operate have licensing laws directed specifically toward the monitored security services industry. Our business relies heavily upon cellular telephone service to communicate signals. Cellular telephone companies are currently regulated by both federal and state governments. State-level privacy and data security laws in California and various other U.S. states regulate our, and our service provider partners’, use, collection, and disclosure of subscribers’ personal information. A number of proposed privacy bills in other U.S. states could place restrictions on how we and our service provider partners use personal information and market to consumers in those states. Other laws and regulations, including consumer protection laws, laws and regulations governing advertising and sales practices, as well as privacy and data security laws and regulations apply in the other countries in which we operate. See “Evolving government and industry regulation and changes in applicable laws relating to the Internet and data privacy may increase our expenditures related to compliance efforts or otherwise limit the solutions we can offer, which may harm our business and adversely affect our financial condition” below. Furthermore, the SEC adopted expansive rules, which are currently stayed, that require public companies to disclose, among other things, information about the material impact of climate change on their business, as well as information about companies’ governance, risk management and strategy related to climate risk. Changes in laws or regulations, including as a result of the current U.S. administration, could require us to change the way we operate, which could increase costs or otherwise disrupt operations. In addition, failure to comply with any such applicable executive orders, laws or regulations could result in substantial fines or revocation of our operating permits and licenses, including in geographic areas where our services have substantial penetration, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. Further, if these laws and regulations were to change or if we fail to comply with such laws and regulations as they exist today or in the future, our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
In addition, because certain of our products require government certification before they can be sold, our business could be harmed by delays in obtaining these certifications. For instance, the U.S. government shutdown that occurred during part of the fourth quarter of 2025 significantly limited the FCC’s ability to approve new products, which caused delays in the launch of certain new products. Any prolonged delay in receiving required certifications for our new or existing products could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We compete in several markets, including security, video, automation,automation and energy management and wellness solutions. The markets in which we participate are highly competitive and competition may intensify in the future.
Consumers may prefer to purchase from their existing suppliers rather than a new supplier regardless of product performance or features. In the event a consumer decides to evaluate a new home automation, security monitoring, video monitoring, or energy management, or wellnessmanagement solution, the consumer may be more inclined to select one of our competitors whose product offerings are broader than those that we offer. In addition, consumers may prefer to purchase products that they can install themselves. If there are continuing restrictions on our service providers’ ability to meet with residential and commercial property owners in person, our ability to compete will depend on our ability to make our products available for remote installation or to make certain of our products easily installable by consumers rather than solely by our service providers.
Our current competitors include providers of other technology platforms for the connected property with interactive security, including Alula (formed following the merger of ipDatatel, LLC and Resolution Products, LLC), Ajax Systems CH, Avigilon Corporation, Brivo Inc., Digital Monitoring Products Inc., Eagle Eye Networks Inc., Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co., Ltd., Honeywell International Inc., Napco Security Technologies, Inc., Resideo Technologies Inc., SecureNet Technologies, LLC, Telular Corporation (acquired by AMETEK, Inc.), and Verkada Inc., which sell solutions to service providers, cable operators, technology retailers and other residential and commercial automation providers. We also compete with interactive, monitored security solutions sold directly to subscribers and may also be sold through our partners, including companies like Abode Systems, Inc., Arlo Technologies, Inc., Cove Smart, LLC, Scout Security, Inc. and SimpliSafe, Inc. In addition, our service provider partners compete with security solutions sold directly to subscribers, as well as managed service providers, such as cable television, telephone and broadband companies like Comcast Cable Communications, LLC and Rogers Communications, Inc., and providers of point products, including Google Inc.'s Nest Labs, Inc. Amazon.com offers Amazon Home Services security packages with bundled equipment and professional installation, and Amazon Key, a security camera and smart lock integration feature. Ring Inc., owned by Amazon.com, offers a connected video doorbell, video cameras and an integrated security system, Ring Alarm. Samsung's SmartThings offers a security system and a home automation and awareness hub. Arlo Technologies, Inc. and Wyze Labs, Inc. offers connected video cameras, a connected video doorbell, and smart security devices. Apple Inc. offers a feature that allows some manufacturers’ connected devices and accessories, including video cameras and doorbells, to be controlled through its HomeKit service available in Apple’s iOS operating system. Additionally, Canary and other companies offer all in one video monitoring and awareness devices. In addition, we may compete with other large and small technology companies that offer control capabilities among their products, applications and services, and have ongoing development efforts to address the broader connectedsmart home market.
Many of our competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical, sales, marketing, distribution and other resources than we have. We expect to encounter new competitors as we enter new markets as well as increased competition, both domestically and internationally, from other established and emerging home automation, security monitoring, video monitoring and automation, wellness, and energy management companies as well as large technology companies. In addition, there may be new technologies that are introduced that reduce demand for our solutions or make them obsolete. Our current and potential competitors may also establish cooperative relationships among themselves or with third parties and rapidly acquire significant market share. Increased competition could also result in price reductions and loss of market share, any of which could result in lower revenue and negatively affect our ability to grow our business.
Cyber-attacks from computer hackers and cyber criminals and other malicious Internet-based activity continue to increase generally, and perpetrators of cyber-attacks may be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms, ransomware, malware, DNS attacks, wireless network attacks, attacks on our cloud networks, phishing attempts, social engineering attempts, distributed denial of service attacks and other advanced persistent threats or malicious software programs that attack our products and services, our networks and network endpoints or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities of our products, services and networks, or those of our third-party service providers. Techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until launched against a target. As a result, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures. We cannot be certain that advances in cyber-capabilities or other developmentsdevelopments, including AI, will not compromise or breach the technology protecting the networks that access our platforms and solutions, including the networks of our third-party service providers, and we can make no assurance that we will be able to detect, prevent, timely and adequately address or mitigate the negative effects of cyber-attacks or other security breaches. We continue to follow our previously implemented hybrid return to office plan that includes mandatory in-office workdays and voluntary remote workdays, which may make us more vulnerable to cyber-attacks or other security breaches.
Our success is highly dependent upon establishing and maintaining successful relationships with a variety of service provider partners. We market and sell our platforms and solutions through a channel assisted sales model and we derive substantially all of our revenue from these service provider partners. We generally enter into agreements with our service provider partners outlining the terms of our relationship, including service provider pricing commitments, installation, maintenance and support requirements, and our sales registration process for registering potential sales to subscribers. These service provider contracts typically have an initial term of one year, with subsequent renewal terms of one year, and are terminable at the end of the initial term or renewal terms without cause upon written notice to the other party. In some cases, these contracts provide the service provider partner with the right to terminate prior to the expiration of the term without cause upon 30 days written notice, or, in the case of certain termination events, the right to terminate the contract immediately. While we have developed a network of service provider partners to sell, install and support our platforms and solutions, we receive a substantial portion of our revenue from a limited number of channel partners and significant customers. During the years ended December 31, 2024,2025, 20232024 and 2022,2023, our 10 largest revenue service provider partners or distributors accounted for 46%,45%, 50%46% and 49%50% of our revenue, respectively. ADT represented greater than 15% but not more than 20% of our revenue in 2024,2025, 20232024 and 2022. ADT also represented more than 10% of accounts receivable as of December 31, 2023.
We depend on our suppliers. The loss of any key suppliersupplier, or thetheir inability of a key supplier to deliver theirproducts productsor components to us on timetime, with sufficient availability, or at thestable contracted priceprices would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Our hardware products depend on the availability and quality of components that we procure from third-party suppliers, some of which are supplied by single or limited source suppliers. Reliance on suppliers generally involves several risks, including increasedvolatile costs,pricing, the possibility of defective parts, and loss of a supplier due to their ability to effectively manage their own supply chain, ability to obtain a contract on commercially reasonable terms, bankruptcy, or other events, which can adversely affect the reliability and reputation of our platforms and solutions and our profitability. In addition, from time to time we provide advance payments or loans to our vendors to, for example, secure procurement of long lead time parts or to provide bridge financing to ensure continuity of operations. We are also dependent on industry supply conditions and subject to supply chain risks, including aunpredictable shortageavailability of components and reduced control over delivery schedules and significant increases in component costs, which can also adversely affect the reliability and reputation of our platforms and solutions and our profitability. These supply chain risks would be heightened in the event health precautions such as travel restrictions and shelter-in-place orders are implemented. In addition, limitations on factory capacity, including labor shortages, and delays in shipping times due to the Macroeconomic Conditions have in the past and may in the future adversely affect production of and the timing of delivery of components. While the general global shortage of semiconductors used in our video, cellular communicator, and other products has eased, shortagesmanufacturers are increasingly shifting production capacity toward high-performance semiconductors required for AI applications. This shift limits the manufacturing capacity available for the components we utilize, creating significant risks regarding the availability and pricing of components essential components ofto our productsproducts, orincluding, for example, semiconductor memory such as DRAM and NAND. These supply constraints significantly increased lead times for obtaining such components may lead to delays in our production, and we may be unable to fulfill orders for our hardware products on a timely basis or at all. Even if we are able to procure components from alternative sources, we may be required to pay moresignificantly higher prices for them, which could adversely affect our profitability. We are working with our suppliers to secure components and materials to account for the continued longer lead times and limited availability, but we cannot assure you our efforts will be successful or that demand for our hardware products will continue at the same level. In addition, global transportation disruptions have led to slower shipping times generally, while fluctuations in passenger air travel have also led to reduced capacity and increased costs for air freight shipments, which may continue to adversely affect the timing and cost of delivery of components, materials and products. Any of these disruptions to our inventory and supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. We have several large hardware suppliers from which we procure hardware on a purchase order basis, including three key suppliers that supplied products and components of our inventory which collectively represented 46%44% of our hardware revenue for the year ended December 31, 20242025 (29%,26%, 10% and 7%8% of hardware revenue, respectively). The failure of any of these key suppliers or their subcomponent suppliers to deliver product on time or at the contracted price would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. In addition, we rely on third-party technology providers for certain critical functions, such as processing and storing video. If our suppliers or technology providers are unable to continue to provide agreed upon supply or services, we could experience interruptions in delivery of our platforms and solutions to our service provider partners, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. If we were required to find alternative sources of supply, qualification of alternative suppliers and the establishment of reliable supplies could result in delays, loss of sales and/or less profitable sales, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
The market for solutions that bring objects and systems not typically connected to the Internet, such as home automation, security monitoring, video monitoring,monitoring and energy management and wellness solutions, into an Internet-like structure is still developing, and it is uncertain how rapidly or how consistently this market will continue to develop and the degree to which our platforms and solutions will be accepted into the markets in which we operate. Some consumers may be reluctant or unwilling to use our platforms and solutions for a number of reasons, including satisfaction with traditional solutions, concerns about additional costs, concerns about data privacy and lack of awareness of the benefits of our platforms and solutions. Our ability to expand the sales of our platforms and solutions into new markets depends on several factors, including the awareness of our platforms and solutions, the timely completion, introduction and market acceptance of our platforms and solutions, the ability to attract, retain and effectively train sales and marketing personnel, the ability to develop relationships with service providers, the effectiveness of our marketing programs, the costs of our platforms and solutions and the success of our competitors. If we are unsuccessful in developing and marketing our platforms and solutions into new markets, or if consumers do not perceive or value the benefits of our platforms and solutions, the market for our platforms and solutions might not continue to develop or might develop more slowly than we expect, either of which would harm our revenue and growth prospects.
We believe part of our growth will continue to be driven by acquisitions of other companies or their technologies, assets and businesses. For example, on November 21, 2025, EnergyHub acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Zona NewCo, LLC, which acquired substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Resideo Grid Services, or RGS, from Resideo Technologies, Inc.; on August 15, 2025, EnergyHub acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of BTR; on February 10, 2025, we acquired 81% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of CHeKT,CHeKT; on November 22, 2024, we acquired certain assets of Kapacity.io,Kapacity.io; on April 21, 2023, we acquired certain assets of Vintra,Vintra; on January 18, 2023, we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of EBS,EBS; on September 23, 2022, we acquired 85% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Noonlight, Inc.,Inc.; on October 21, 2019, we acquired 85% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of PC Open Incorporated, doing business as OpenEye,OpenEye; and on December 14, 2020, we acquired Shooter Detection Systems, LLC. Additionally, on December 16, 2021, our EnergyHub subsidiary acquired certain assets of an unrelated third party. Substantially all of the acquired assets consisted of developed technology. These acquisitions and any other acquisitions we may complete in the future will give rise to certain risks, including:
In addition, we have equity investments in several entities and the accounting treatment applied to these investments varies depending on a number of factors, such as our percentage of ownership and the level of influence or control we have over the entity. Because these entities are managed independently, their business decisions may differ from our interests and impact the value of our investments. These entities may also be subject to litigation, regulatory actions, or other disputes, any of which could negatively impact their financial results and our share of income or the value of our investment. If any of these entities experience significant losses, become subject to material litigation, or cease operations, our investments could be subject to impairment and the loss of a part or all of our investment value.
Our platforms and solutions enable us to collect, manage and store a wide range of data related to our subscribers’ interactive security, intelligent automation, video monitoring,monitoring and energy management and wellness systems. A valuable component of our platforms and solutions is our ability to analyze this data to present the user with actionable business intelligence. We obtain our data from a variety of sources, including our service provider partners, our subscribers and third-party providers. We cannot assure that the data we require for our proprietary data sets will be available from these sources in the future or that the cost of such data will not increase. The United States federal government and various state governments have adopted or proposed limitations on the collection, distribution, storage and use of personal information. Several foreign jurisdictions in which we do business, including the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada and Argentina, among others, have adopted legislation (including directives or regulations) that is more rigorous governing data collection and storage than in the United States.
We have incorporated, and expect to continue to incorporate in the future, artificial intelligence, or AI,AI solutions into our operations and product offerings, and the use of AI involves various risks and challenges that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. We currently use AI to help improve our business management solutions for service provider partners, advance our data analytics engine and increase efficiency in our internal operations. For example, we leverage large language models for the Gopher Info feature of our service provider solutions, an AI-powered chatbot assistant for technicians and service providers designed to improve service provider efficiency and operations. The use, development and deployment of AI systems or the AI systems of third-party AI vendors involve inherent technical complexities and uncertainties, and these AI systems may encounter unexpected technical difficulties, limitations or errors, including inaccuracies in data processing or flawed algorithms, which could compromise the reliability and effectiveness of our products and services based on AI. In addition, our competitors or other third parties may incorporate AI into their products more quickly or more successfully than us, which could impair our ability to compete effectively.
On January 20, 2021, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due January 15, 2026, in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers, or the 2026 Notes. We received proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes of $484.3 million, net of $15.7 million of transaction fees and other debt issuance costs. We used some of the proceeds to repay the $110.0 million outstanding principal balance under our credit facility and also used some of the proceeds to pay accrued interest, fees and expenses related to our credit facility, which was terminated effective January 20, 2021. On January 14, 2026, we paid $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount to holders of the 2026 Notes, fully settling the outstanding balance. The settlement was funded with cash on hand, consistent with our stated intent, with no shares of common stock issued. 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. 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. We used $63.1 million of the net proceeds from the 2029 Notes to pay the cost of the capped call transactions 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 currentlyare intend to useusing the remaining net proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes and 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. We invested a portion of the proceeds in a portfolio of securities and other investments. We cannot give assurances that the assets in our investment portfolio will not lose value, become impaired or suffer from illiquidity.
•making it more difficult to satisfy our obligations, including under the terms of the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes;
In the future, we may require additional capital to respond to business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions or unforeseen circumstances and may determine to engage in equity or debt financings or enter into credit facilities for other reasons. For example, on January 20, 2021, we issued the 2026 Notes and on May 31, 2024, we issued the 2029 Notes. We received proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes of $484.3 million, net of $15.7 million of transaction fees and other debt issuance costs. 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. On January 14, 2026, we paid $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount to holders of the 2026 Notes, fully settling the outstanding balance. The settlement was funded with cash on hand, consistent with our stated intent, with no shares of common stock issued. We may require additional capital to respond to the significant uncertainty arising from the Macroeconomic Conditions and we may not be able to timely secure additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms or at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be limited. Any debt financing obtained by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity, convertible debt securities or other securities convertible into equity, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of our company, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be limited. See “Risks Related to our Outstanding Convertible Senior Notes” below for further details on risks related to the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes.
Legislative changes in the U.S. and other countries could increase our tax liability and adversely affect our after-tax profitability. For example, on July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, or OBBBA, was enacted in the United States. The OBBBA includes a broad range of tax provisions that impact the timing and the magnitude of certain key tax deductions, including the permanent reinstatement of the full and immediate deduction for domestic research and development expenditures in the year such costs are incurred, the 100% first-year bonus depreciation deduction and various international tax changes. Further, in August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was enacted in the United States which, among other provisions, includes a minimum 15.0% tax on companies that have a three-year average annual adjusted financial statement income of more than $1.0 billion and a 1.0% excise tax on the value of net corporate stock repurchases. Both provisions became effective on January 1, 2023. Economic and political considerations make additional tax rules in the United States and other applicable jurisdictions subject to significant change, and changes in applicable tax laws and regulations, or their interpretation and application, including the possibility of retroactive effect, could affect our income tax expense and profitability.
In addition, there is a continued interest within the European Union, Canada and other jurisdictions to apply new taxes on companies participating in the digital economy. Such tax rule changes could materially and adversely affect our cash flows, deferred tax assetsflows and financial results.
We are subject to income, sales, use, value added and other taxes in the United States and other countries in which we conduct business, which laws and rates vary greatly by jurisdiction. Certain jurisdictions in which we do not collect sales, use, value added or other taxes on our sales may assert that such taxes are applicable, which could result in tax assessments, penalties and interest, and we may be required to collect and remit such taxes in the future. Additionally,In longstanding international tax norms that determine each country’s jurisdiction to tax cross-border international trade are subject to potential evolution. An outgrowth of2021, the original Base Erosion and Profit Shifting project is a project undertaken by the more than 130 member countries of the expanded Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, Inclusive Framework focused on "Addressing the Challenges of the Digitalization of the Economy." Furthermore, the OECD, announced a consensus around further changes in traditional international tax principles to address, among other things, perceived challenges presented by global digital commerce, or Pillar One, and the perceived need for a minimum global effective tax rate of 15%, or Pillar Two. On December 20, 2021, the OECD released Pillar Two Model Rules definingwhich thewould require a global minimum tax rate of 15% on companies with revenues of at least 750.0 million Euros, which went into effect in 2024, subject to certain transition rules.Euros. While it is uncertaincurrently whetherunlikely the U.S. will enact legislation to adopt the minimum tax directive, the European Union and certain other countries in which we operate have adopted such legislation, and other countries are in the process of introducing legislation to implement the minimum tax directive.

ThisOn January 5, 2026, the OECD released a “side-by-side package” of administrative guidance which would exempt U.S. headquartered companies from the Pillar Two income inclusion and the undertaxed profits rules beginning in 2026; however, we may continue to be subject to qualified domestic minimum top-up taxes in the jurisdictions in which we operate.

Furthermore, U.S. export control laws and economic sanctions programs prohibit the shipment of certain products and services to countries, governments and persons that are subject to U.S. economic embargoes and trade sanctions. Even though we take precautions to prevent our platforms and solutions from being shipped or provided to U.S. sanctions targets, our platforms and solutions could be shipped to those targets or provided by third-partiesthird parties despite such precautions. Any such shipment could have negative consequences, including government investigations, penalties and reputational harm. Furthermore, any new embargo or sanctions program, or any change in the countries, governments, persons or activities targeted by such programs, could result in decreased use of our platforms and solutions, or in our decreased ability to export or sell our platforms and solutions to existing or potential service provider partners, which would likely adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
•political, social, and economic instability, such as the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, and in Israelthe Middle East and surrounding areas, terrorist attacks, and security concerns in general; and
There is currently significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and various other countries, including China, the European Union, Canada and Mexico, with respect to trade policies, treaties, tariffs, customs duties, sanctions and taxes, in particular under the current U.S. administration, which has expressed a desire to impose significant new or increased tariffs on product imports from certain countries. 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. These imposed and announced tariffs have affected, or have the potential to affect, at least some of our imports from China.
Less than one-third of the hardware products that we sell to our customers are imported from China and could be subject to increased tariffs. Other Alarm.com hardware products that are not manufactured in China may contain subcomponents made in China that could also be subject to increased tariffs. While the additional import duties have resulted in an increase to our cost of hardware revenue, these import duties had a modest impact on hardware revenue margins. If tariffs, sanctions, trade restrictions, or trade barriers are expanded or interpreted by a court or governmental agency to apply to more of our products, then our exposure to future taxes and duties on such imported products and components could be significant and could have a material effect on our financial results. If our products are deemed to be subject to additional duties and taxes as determined by a court or governmental agency, we may suffer additional hardware revenue margin erosion or be required to raise our prices on certain imported products. There can be no assurance that we will not experience a disruption in our business or harm to our financial condition related to these or other changes in trade practices, and any changes to our operations or our sourcing strategy in order to mitigate any such tariff costs could be complicated, time-consuming, and costly. Furthermore, our business may be adversely affected by retaliatory tariffs or trade measures taken by China and other countries, which could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Trade barriers, or the perception that any of them could be imposed, may have a negative effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between these nations and the United States. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
On November 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law the Secure Equipment Act of 2021 pursuant to which, on November 25, 2022, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, adopted rules clarifying that it will no longer review or approve any authorization application for equipment that poses an unacceptable risk to national security. The FCC's implementation of this directive prohibits future authorizations of equipment identified on the “Covered List,” which currently consists of video surveillance and telecommunications equipment produced by five Chinese electronics companies, including one of our suppliers. Although the rules apply to future authorizations of equipment, the FCC also adopted a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on future action related to existing authorizations. If the FCC adopts rules that apply retroactively to products already sold, this would likely adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities. We are unable to predict the effect that sales, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers, and significant stockholders, may have on the prevailing market price of our common stock. Additionally, the shares of common stock subject to outstanding options under our equity incentive plans and the shares reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans, as well as shares issuable upon vesting of restricted stock awards, will become eligible for sale in the public market in the future, subject to certain legal and contractual limitations. Moreover, some holders of shares of our common stock have rights, subject to certain conditions, to require us to file registration statements covering their shares or to include their shares in registration statements that we may file for ourselves or our stockholders. We have also registered shares of common stock that we may issue under our employee equity incentive plans. Accordingly, these shares may be able to be sold freely in the public market upon issuance as permitted by any applicable vesting requirements. See “Conversion of the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes may dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our common stock” below for further details on the risks related to the dilutive impact of the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes.
We may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to settle cash conversions of the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes or to repurchase the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes upon a fundamental change, and our future debt may contain limitations on our ability to pay cash upon conversion or repurchase of the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes.
On January 20, 2021, we issued the 2026 Notes. The terms of the 2026 Notes are governed by an Indenture, or the 2026 Indenture, by and between Alarm.com Holdings, Inc. and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The 2026 Notes are senior unsecured obligations that do not bear regular interest and the principal amount of the 2026 Notes will not accrete. The 2026 Notes may bear special interest under specified circumstances related to our failure to comply with our reporting obligations under the 2026 Indenture. Special interest, if any, will be payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2021. We received proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes of $484.3 million, net of $15.7 million of transaction fees and other debt issuance costs. On January 14, 2026, we paid $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount to holders of the 2026 Notes, fully settling the outstanding balance. The settlement was funded with cash on hand, consistent with our stated intent, with no shares of common stock issued. On May 31, 2024, we issued 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.
Holders of the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes will have the right, subject to certain conditions and limited exceptions, to require us to repurchase all or a portion of their notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest or interest, if any, as defined in the 2026 Indenture and 2029 Indenture. In addition, upon conversion of the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes, unless we elect to deliver solely shares of our common stock to settle such conversion (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes being converted as defined in the 2026 Indenture and 2029 Indenture. However, we may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make repurchases of 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes surrendered therefor or pay cash with respect to 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes being converted. In addition, our ability to repurchase the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes or to pay cash upon conversions of the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes may be limited by law, by regulatory authority or by agreements governing our future indebtedness. Our failure to repurchase the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes at a time when the repurchase is required by the 2026 Indenture or 2029 Indenture or to pay any cash payable on future conversions of the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes as required by the 2026 Indenture or 2029 Indenture would constitute a default under the 2026 Indenture or 2029 Indenture. A default under the 2026 Indenture governing the 2026 Notes or the 2029 Indenture governing the 2029 Notes or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our future indebtedness. If the repayment of the related indebtedness were to be accelerated after any applicable notice or grace periods, we may not have sufficient funds to repay the indebtedness and repurchase the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes or make cash payments upon conversions thereof.
The conditional conversion feature of the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes, if triggered, may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
In the event the conditional conversion feature of the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes is triggered, holders of 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes will be entitled to convert the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes at any time during specified periods at their option. If one or more holders elect to convert their 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes, unless we elect to satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering solely shares of our common stock (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we would be required to settle a portion or all of our conversion obligation through the payment of cash, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In addition, even if holders do not elect to convert their notes, we could be required under applicable accounting rules to reclassify all or a portion of the outstanding principal of the notes as a current rather than long-term liability, which would result in a material reduction of our net working capital.
Conversion of the 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes may dilute the ownership interest of our stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our common stock.
The conversion of some or all of the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes may dilute the ownership interests of our stockholders. Upon conversion of the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes, we have the option to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. If we elect to settle our conversion obligation in shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, any sales in the public market of our common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. In addition, the existence of the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes could be used to satisfy short positions, or anticipated conversion of the 2026 Notes or 2029 Notes into shares of our common stock could depress the price of our common stock.

We believe there is significant opportunity to expand our international business, as 6%5% of our total revenue during the year ended December 31, 20242025 originated from customers located outside of North America. Our products are currently localized and available in over 50 countries outside of North America. On November 22, 2024, we acquired certain assets of Kapacity.io to help accelerate deployment of a cloud-based demand response platform internationally for our EnergyHub subsidiary.
On November 20, 2025, we paid $30.1 million in cash to purchase 20.3% of the outstanding shares of Pronet. We do not have a controlling financial interest in Pronet, but based on the legal form of Pronet, our level of ownership and our extent of influence, we concluded that this equity investment in Pronet, which is included in the Alarm.com segment, does not meet the criteria for consolidation and will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
On November 21, 2025, EnergyHub acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of RGS. RGS provides demand response aggregation and program management services for utilities. The acquisition is anticipated to strengthen EnergyHub’s position in the demand response market as well as make new demand energy response classes available to RGS customers. On November 21, 2025, in consideration for the purchase of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of RGS, we paid $77.2 million in cash. Pursuant to the terms of the stock purchase agreement, following the preliminary determination of the working capital of RGS as of the closing date, the purchase price increased by $1.6 million. The working capital adjustment is expected to be finalized during the first quarter of 2026. The purchase price allocation was not finalized as of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is primarily pending the final determination of the working capital adjustment.
On January 14, 2026, we paid $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount to holders of the 2026 Notes, fully settling the outstanding balance. The settlement was funded with cash on hand, consistent with our stated intent, with no shares of common stock issued.
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.
On February 10, 2025, Alarm.com Incorporated acquired 81% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of 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.
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. We are currently evaluating the accounting treatment of this acquisition and are in the process of completing the preliminary purchase price allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The global economy, credit markets and financial markets have and may continue to experience significant volatility as a result of the Macroeconomic Conditions. These Macroeconomic Conditions have and may continue to create tariffs, supply chain disruptions, inventory disruptions, and fluctuations in economic growth, including fluctuations in employment rates, inflation, tariffs, energy prices and consumer sentiment. It remains difficult to assess or predict the ultimate duration and economic impact of the Macroeconomic Conditions. Prolonged uncertainty with respect to the Macroeconomic Conditions could cause further economic slowdown or cause other unpredictable events, each of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents our net income before interest expense, interest income, certain activity within other income / (expense) / income,, net, provision for income taxes, income from equity method investments, net, amortization and depreciation expense, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, legal costs and settlement fees incurred and received in connection with non-ordinary course litigation and other disputes, particularly costs involved in ongoing intellectual property litigation. We do not consider these items to be indicative of our core operating performance. The non-cash items include amortization and depreciation expense; income from equity method investments, net; amortization of debt issuance costs for the January 20, 2021 issuance of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due January 15, 2026, or the 2026 Notes, included in interest expense; amortization of debt issuance costs for the May 31, 2024 issuance of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% convertible senior notes due June 1, 2029, or the 2029 Notes, included in interest expense; and stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units and other forms of equity compensation, including, but not limited to, the sale of common stock. We do not adjust for ordinary course legal expenses resulting from maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property portfolio and license agreements.
We record interest expense primarily related to our 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes. We exclude interest expense in calculating non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA because we believe the exclusion of interest expense will provide for more meaningful information about our financial performance. We exclude interest income and certain activity within other income / (expense) / income,, net including gains, losses or impairments on investments without readily determinable fair values and other assets, gains and losses from equity method investments, gains on settlement fees and losses on the early extinguishment of debt, when applicable, from non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA because we do not consider it part of our ongoing results of operations. We exclude the impact related to our provision for income taxes and income from equity method investments, net from non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA because we do not consider thisthese tax adjustmentadjustments to be part of our ongoing results of operations.
Revenue
Our hardware and other revenue also includes our revenue from the sale of perpetual licenses that provide our customers in the commercial market the right to use our video surveillance software for an indefinite period of time in exchange for a one-time license fee. Additionally, our hardware and other revenue includes our revenue from the sale of licenses that provide our customers the right to use our indoor gunshot detection solution in exchange for license fees. Hardware and other revenue may also include activation fees charged to some of our service provider partners for activation of a new subscriber account on our platforms, as well as fees paid by service provider partners for our marketing services. The decision whether to charge an activation fee is based in part on the expected number of subscribers to be added by our service provider partners and as a result, many of our largest service provider partners do not pay an activation fee.
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 have adjusted and/or imposed and 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 U.S. government has since announced several tariff framework agreements, including with countries where a significant portion of our hardware is produced. While we began passing through the costs of baseline tariffs to our customers in the second quarter of 2025, as of December 31, 2025, we had not yet adjusted those pass-throughs to account for certain newer tariffs at higher rates. As a result, we began to absorb those additional costs, which we expect will negatively impact our hardware revenue margins in 2026. 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, the outcome of pending legal challenges to their validity, how other countries respond to the U.S. tariffs, and the specific timing of when we implement higher pass-through costs.
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.
We currently expect our hardware revenue margins in 2025 to approximate the hardware revenue margins experienced during 2024.
Our operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, general and administrative, research and development and amortization and depreciation expenses. Salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, benefits and other personnel related costs are the most significant components of each of these expense categories, excluding amortization and depreciation. We include stock-based compensation expense in connection with the grant of restricted stock units and other forms of equity compensation, including equity compensation with performance conditions, in the applicable operating expense category based on the respective equity award recipient’s function (sales and marketing, general and administrative or research and development). We grew from 1,9892,010 employees as of January 1, 20242025 to 2,0102,058 employees as of December 31, 2024.2025. We expect tomay continue to hire new employees to support the projected future growth of our business.
The number of employees in sales and marketing functions increased from 565572 as of January 1, 20242025 to 572607 as of December 31, 2024.2025. We expect to continue to invest in our sales and marketing activities to expand our business both domestically and internationally and we expect to increase our marketing expense in 2025 as compared to 2024.internationally. We intend tomay increase the size of our sales force and our service provider partner support team to provide additional support to our existing service provider partner base to drive their productivity in selling our solutions as well as to enroll new service provider partners in North America and in international markets.
The number of employees in general and administrative functions increaseddecreased from 229237 as of January 1, 20242025 to 237235 as of December 31, 2024.2025. Excluding intellectual property litigation and acquisition-related expense, we expect general and administrative costs to increase prospectively as our business grows. This includes cost increases related to human resources, accounting, finance, and legal personnel, additional external legal, audit fees and other expenses associated with regulations governing public companies. While somewhat unpredictable, we also expect to continue to incur costs related to litigation involving intellectual property. See the section of this Annual Report titled "Legal Proceedings" for additional information regarding litigation matters.
Research and Development Expense. Research and development expense consists primarily of personnel and related expenses for our employees working on our product development and software and device engineering teams,teams as well as employees supporting research and development efforts, including salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, benefits and other personnel costs. Also included are non-personnel costs such as consulting and professional fees paid to third-party development resources.
We record interest expense associated with our 2026 Notes, 2029 Notes and acquired2029 debt.Notes. Interest expense in 20252026 is expected to increasedecrease as compared to 20242025 due to the issuancematurity of the 20292026 Notes.Notes on January 15, 2026.
Other Income / (Expense) / Income,, Net
Other income / (expense) / income,, net primarily consists of non-operating and miscellaneous expense and income.income, including the impacts of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as well as gains and losses on equity securities.
We are subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes as well as foreign income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. As a result, we recognize tax liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. For the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, our effective tax rate was belowabove the 21.0% statutory rate primarily due to research and development tax credits claimed, the foreign derived intangible income deduction and tax windfall benefits from employee stock-based compensation, partially offset by the impact of state taxes, foreign withholding taxes and other nondeductible expenses.expenses, partially offset by the impact of 2025 research and development tax credits claimed and a favorable true-up adjustment of our 2024 income tax provision estimate associated with research and development tax credits. We recognize stock-based compensation tax shortfalls and excess tax windfall benefits on a discrete basis during the quarter in which they occur, and we anticipate our effective tax rate will vary from quarter to quarter depending on our stock price as well as the vesting and exercises of various forms of equity compensation under our equity incentive plans each period, including restricted stock units and stock options.
Income from Equity Method Investments, Net
Income from equity method investments, net primarily consists of our share of the net assets and net income / (losses) of our investees accounted for under the equity method, including the impacts of amortization expense related to basis differences.
The following table sets forth our selected consolidated statements of operations (in thousands) and data as a percentage of revenue for the periods presented. Certain previously reported amounts in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 have been reclassified to conform to our current presentation to reflect income from equity method investments, net, as a separate line item, which was previously included in other income / (expense), net.

Cost of SaaS and license revenue as a percentage of SaaS and license revenue was 14% and 15%14% in 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively. The decrease in cost of SaaS and license revenue as a percentage of SaaS and license revenue in 20242025, as compared to 20232024, is a reflection of the mix of sales and services during the periods. Cost of software license revenue as a percentage of software license revenue was 2% and 3% in 20242025 and 2023.2024, respectively.
The $11.0$12.5 million increase in sales and marketing expense in 20242025, as compared to 20232024, was primarily due to a $3.7$6.2 million increase in personnel and related costs for our Alarm.com segment, attributable in part to increases in the headcount for our sales team to support our growth, and a $3.5$2.4 million increase in marketing expense for our Alarm.com segment. These increases in sales and marketing expense for our Alarm.com segment were partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in our expenses for external consultants in 2024 as compared to 2023. Sales and marketing expense from our Other segment increased $4.8$3.4 million in 20242025, as compared to 2023,2024, primarily due to increases in personnel and related costs, attributable in part to increases in the headcount for our sales team.

Amortization and depreciation increased $1.7 million in 2025, as compared to 2024, primarily due to intangible assets that were acquired in connection with the purchase of 81% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of CHeKT on February 10, 2025, the purchase of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of BTR on August 15, 2025, and the purchase of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of RGS on November 21, 2025, as well as changes in depreciation expense related to property and equipment.
Amortization and depreciation decreased $2.3 million in 2024 as compared to 2023, primarily due to changes in amortization expense related to the intangible assets we previously acquired.
Interest income increaseddecreased $17.6$1.7 million in 20242025 as compared to 2023,2024, primarily due to ana increasedecrease in interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents from higherlower average interest rates and lower amounts of cash and cash equivalents and higher average interest rates during 2024some of 2025, as compared to 2023. The increase in interest income was partially offset by a $0.5 million reduction to interest income for the reversal of payable in kind interest associated with a subordinated credit agreement with an affiliated entity of one of our distribution partners during 2024, which did not occur during 2023.2024.
Other Income / (Expense) / Income,, Net
Other income / (expense), net increased $7.5 million in 2025 primarily due to a $4.7 million gain on publicly traded equity securities within our treasury portfolio and a $2.0 million gain on fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
Other (expense) / income, net decreased $7.3 million in 2024 as compared to 2023, primarily due to a gain recorded from the settlement of a legal matter in 2023 that did not occur in 2024 as well as an increase in non-operating and miscellaneous expenses.

The increase in the provision for income taxes was primarily due to the increase in income before income taxes, partiallya offset by an increasereduction in our foreign derived intangible income deduction and our research and development tax credits, a tax shortfall in employee stock-based compensation in 2025 as opposed to a windfall tax benefit recognized in 2024 and a less favorable true-up adjustment of our 2024 income tax provision estimate associated with research and development tax credits recorded in 2025 as compared to a similar true-up adjustment of our 2023 income tax provision estimate associated with research and windfalldevelopment benefitstax fromcredits employeerecorded stock-basedin compensation.2024.
Income from Equity Method Investments, Net
Income from equity method investments, net increased $2.5 million in 2025, as compared to 2024, primarily due to the increase in our share of the net assets and net income of our investees accounted for under the equity method, partially offset by amortization expense related to basis differences in our equity method investments.
We have two reportable segments: Alarm.com and Other. Our Alarm.com segment represents our cloud-based and Software platforms for the intelligently connected propertyproperties and related solutions that contributed 92%,91%, 93%92% and 94%93% of our revenue, net of intersegment eliminations, for the years ended December 31, 2024,2025, 20232024 and 2022,2023, respectively. Our Other segment is focused on researching, developing and offering residential and commercial automation solutions and energy management products and services in adjacent markets. The consolidated subsidiaries that make up our Other segment are in the investment stage and have incurred significant operating expenses relative to their revenue.
Our SaaS and license revenue for the Alarm.com segment included software license revenue of $20.3$17.7 million, $23.2$20.3 million and $26.8$23.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024,2025, 20232024 and 2022,2023, respectively. There was no software license revenue recorded for the Other segment during the years ended December 31, 2024,2025, 20232024 and 2022.2023. AdditionsCash additions to property and equipment were $20.1$16.2 million, $8.9$10.0 million and $28.4$7.4 million for the Alarm.com segment for the years ended December 31, 2024,2025, 20232024 and 2022,2023, respectively. AdditionsCash additions to property and equipment were less than $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the Other segment for the year ended December 31, 2025, and were $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 20232024 and 2022, respectively.2023.
Revenue
We have variable consideration primarily in the form of rebate incentives, which contain uncertainties and require us to make estimates of the amount of consideration to which we will be entitled. The significant inputs related to our estimates of variable consideration include the volume and amount of products and services sold historically and expected to be sold in the future, and the availability and performance of our services and the historical and expected number of returns. We record a reserve against revenue for hardware returns based on historical returns. For each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, our reserve against revenue for hardware returns was 1% of hardware and other revenue. We evaluate our hardware reserve on a quarterly basis or if there is an indication of significant changes in return experience. Historically, our returns of hardware have not significantly differed from our estimated reserve.services.
We generally offer customers a limited right of return for hardware that has been purchased from us. We record a reserve against revenue for hardware returns based on historical returns. For each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, our reserve against revenue for hardware returns was 1% of hardware and other revenue. We evaluate our hardware reserve on a quarterly basis or if there is an indication of significant changes in return experience. Historically, our returns of hardware have not significantly differed from our estimated reserve and while we do not expect any material changes in the near term to the underlying assumptions used to recognize our reserve against revenue for hardware returns, if changes in these assumptions occur, and, should those changes be significant, they could have a material impact on our hardware and other revenue.
Significant estimates and assumptions in valuing certain acquired customer relationship intangible assets include estimates about future expected cash flowsflows, attrition rates and discount rates. Significant estimates and assumptions in valuing acquired developed technology intangible assets include estimates about future expected cash flows, obsolescence factorsfactors, royalty rates and discount rates. Significant estimates and assumptions in valuing acquired trade name intangible assets include estimates about future expected cash flows, royalty rates and discount rates.
We did not make any material changes to the underlying assumptions used as of the acquisition date to calculate the purchase price of the business combinations that occurred during 20232025 and 2022.2023. We do not expect any changes to the underlying assumptions used to calculate the purchase price of those business combinationscombinations, asin part, because the purchase price allocation was finalized for some of these business combinations.
For our 20242025 annual impairment review, we performed a qualitative assessment for our Alarm.com reportingand unit, our onlyOther reporting unit with a goodwill balance.units. There were no triggeringindicators eventsof impairment that occurred between our qualitative annual impairment test performed as of October 1, 20242025 and December 31, 2024.2025. If triggering events arise in the future that require changes in the underlying assumptions used in our assessment of our goodwill, and, should those changes be significant, they could have a material impact on our goodwill and potentially our other income / (expense) / income,, net, if those significant changes result in an impairment.
There were no indicators of impairment of our intangible assets with definite lives or long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2024,2025, 20232024 and 2022.2023. If triggering events arise in the future, depending on the significance of the underlying assumptions in the impairment analysis, they could have a material impact on our intangible assets and long-lived assets and potentially our other income / (expense) / income,, net, if those significant changes result in an impairment.
On April 17, 2025, our board of directors adopted, and on June 4, 2025, our stockholders approved, our 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, or 2025 Plan. The 2025 Plan provides that (i) no new awards may be granted under the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, or 2015 Plan, as of June 4, 2025, although awards granted under the 2015 Plan prior to June 4, 2025, will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms and those of the 2015 Plan, and (ii) the shares of common stock that were available for grant under the 2015 Plan but were unissued as of June 4, 2025, became available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2025 Plan. We compensate our executive officers, board of directors and employees with stock-based compensation plans under our 20152025 Plan. We record stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based restricted stock units based on management’s determination of the probable outcome of the performance conditions, which requires considerable judgment. We estimate the fair value of each option granted on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which contains uncertainties and requires us to estimate the risk-free interest rate, expected term, expected stock price volatility and dividend yield. The expected term for options granted is estimated using our historical experience, including information related to options we have granted.

We are involved and have been involved in the past in legal proceedings from time to time, including claims directly against us or claims against certain of our service provider partners that we have agreed to indemnify. For example, on January 10, 2022, EcoFactor, Inc., or EcoFactor, filed a lawsuit against us alleging Alarm.com’s products and services directly and indirectly infringe five U.S. patents owned by EcoFactor. On July 3, 2025, SkyBell Technologies, Inc., or SkyBell, filed a lawsuit against us alleging that Alarm.com misappropriated SkyBell’s trade secrets relating to video doorbells. On May 26, 2026, SkyBell filed an amended complaint adding allegations that Alarm.com infringed copyrights in its computer source code. See the section of this Quarterly Report titled "Legal Proceedings" for additional information regarding each of these matters and the other legal proceedings we are involved in. We may not be able to accurately assess the risks related to any of these suits, and we may be unable to accurately assess our level of exposure as the results of any litigation, investigations and other legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, damage our reputation, require significant amounts of management time and divert significant resource. Companies in our industry have been subject to claims related to patent infringement, regulatory matters, and product liability, as well as contract and employment-related claims. As a result of patent infringement and other intellectual property proceedings, we have, and may be required to seek in the future, licenses under patents or intellectual property rights owned by third parties, including open-source software and other commercially available software, which can be costly, or cross-license agreements relating to our and third-party intellectual property. The outcome of legal claims and proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, and a negative outcome could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.see in full comparison
On July 3, 2025, SkyBell filed a lawsuit against us in U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Virginia, alleging that Alarm.com misappropriated SkyBell’s trade secrets relating to video doorbells. On May 26, 2026, SkyBell filed an amended complaint adding allegations that Alarm.com infringed copyrights in its computer source code. SkyBell is seeking injunctive relief, enhanced damages, attorneys’ fees, a constructive trust, and an order that Alarm.com assign to SkyBell the alleged trade secrets. Should SkyBell prevail in its lawsuit, we could be required to pay damages and/or a reasonable royalty for sales of our solution, we could be enjoined from making, using and selling our solution if a license or other right to continue selling such elements is not made available to us, we could be required to pay ongoing royalties and comply with unfavorable terms if such a license is made available to us, and we could be required to assign, transfer, and return any SkyBell trade secret that we are found to improperly possess. While we believe we have valid defenses to SkyBell’s claims, the outcome of these legal claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and any of these outcomes could result in an adverse effect on our business.see in full comparison
We have experienced significant growth and also have substantially expanded our operations in a short period of time. Our revenue increased from $842.6 million in 2022 to $1.0112 billion in 2025 and increased fromsee in full comparison$238.8$493.1 million for thethreesix months endedMarchJune31,30, 2025 to$265.2$542.9 million for thethreesix months endedMarchJune31,30, 2026. We do not expect to achieve similar growth rates in future periods. You should not rely on our operating results for any prior quarterly or annual periods as an indication of our future operating performance. If we are unable to maintain expected revenue growth in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of prior period revenue, our financial results could suffer and our stock price could decline.
Our hardware products depend on the availability and quality of components that we procure from third-party suppliers, some of which are supplied by single or limited source suppliers. Reliance on suppliers generally involves several risks, including volatile pricing, the possibility of defective parts, and loss of a supplier due to their ability to effectively manage their own supply chain, ability to obtain a contract on commercially reasonable terms, bankruptcy, or other events, which can adversely affect the reliability and reputation of our platforms and solutions and our profitability. In addition, from time to time we provide advance payments or loans to our vendors to, for example, secure procurement of long lead time parts or to provide bridge financing to ensure continuity of operations. We are also dependent on industry supply conditions and subject to supply chain risks, including unpredictable availability of components and reduced control over delivery schedules and significant increases in component costs, which can also adversely affect the reliability and reputation of our platforms and solutions and our profitability. These supply chain risks would be heightened in the event health precautions such as travel restrictions and shelter-in-place orders are implemented. In addition, limitations on factory capacity, including labor shortages, and delays in shipping times due to the Macroeconomic Conditions have in the past and may in the future adversely affect production of and the timing of delivery of components. While the general global shortage of semiconductors used in our video, cellular communicator, and other products has eased, manufacturers are increasingly shifting production capacity toward high-performance semiconductors required for AI applications. This shift limits the manufacturing capacity available for the components we utilize, creating significant risks regarding the availability and pricing of components essential to our products, including, for example, semiconductor memory such as DRAM and NAND. These supply constraints significantly increased lead times for obtaining such components and have resulted, and may continue to result, in increased component costs. Such constraints may lead to delays in our production, and we may be unable to fulfill orders for our hardware products on a timely basis or at all. Even if we are able to procure components from alternative sources, we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, higher costs for certain components procured from alternative sources. We are working with our suppliers to secure components and materials to account for the continued longer lead times and limited availability, but we cannot assure you our efforts will be successful or that demand for our hardware products will continue at the same level. In addition, global transportation disruptions have led to slower shipping times generally, while fluctuations in passenger air travel have also led to reduced capacity and increased costs for air freight shipments, which may continue to adversely affect the timing and cost of delivery of components, materials and products. Any of these disruptions to our inventory and supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. We have several large hardware suppliers from which we procure hardware on a purchase order basis, including three key suppliers that supplied products and components of our inventory which collectively representedsee in full comparison50%42% of our hardware revenue for thethreesix months endedMarchJune31,30, 2026 (31%,25%,13%11% and 6% of hardware revenue, respectively). The failure of any of these key suppliers or their subcomponent suppliers to deliver product on time or at the contracted price would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. In addition, we rely on third-party technology providers for certain critical functions, such as processing and storing video. If our suppliers or technology providers are unable to continue to provide agreed upon supply or services, we could experience interruptions in delivery of our platforms and solutions to our service provider partners, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. If we were required to find alternative sources of supply, qualification of alternative suppliers and the establishment of reliable supplies could result in delays, loss of sales and/or less profitable sales, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Fluctuations in our quarterly operating results may be particularly pronounced in the current economic environment. Due to the foregoing factors and the other risks discussed in this Quarterly Report, you should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations as an indication of our future performance. For the same reason, you should not consider our recent revenue growth and changes in non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA or results of one quarter as indicative of our future performance. See the "Non-GAAP Measures" section of Item 2. "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for a discussion of the limitations of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measurement, for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025.
We have experienced significant growth and also have substantially expanded our operations in a short period of time. Our revenue increased from $842.6 million in 2022 to $1.0112 billion in 2025 and increased from $238.8$493.1 million for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025 to $265.2$542.9 million for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026. We do not expect to achieve similar growth rates in future periods. You should not rely on our operating results for any prior quarterly or annual periods as an indication of our future operating performance. If we are unable to maintain expected revenue growth in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of prior period revenue, our financial results could suffer and our stock price could decline.
We are involved and have been involved in the past in legal proceedings from time to time, including claims directly against us or claims against certain of our service provider partners that we have agreed to indemnify. For example, on January 10, 2022, EcoFactor, Inc., or EcoFactor, filed a lawsuit against us alleging Alarm.com’s products and services directly and indirectly infringe five U.S. patents owned by EcoFactor. On July 3, 2025, SkyBell Technologies, Inc., or SkyBell, filed a lawsuit against us alleging that Alarm.com misappropriated SkyBell’s trade secrets relating to video doorbells. On May 26, 2026, SkyBell filed an amended complaint adding allegations that Alarm.com infringed copyrights in its computer source code. See the section of this Quarterly Report titled "Legal Proceedings" for additional information regarding each of these matters and the other legal proceedings we are involved in. We may not be able to accurately assess the risks related to any of these suits, and we may be unable to accurately assess our level of exposure as the results of any litigation, investigations and other legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, damage our reputation, require significant amounts of management time and divert significant resource. Companies in our industry have been subject to claims related to patent infringement, regulatory matters, and product liability, as well as contract and employment-related claims. As a result of patent infringement and other intellectual property proceedings, we have, and may be required to seek in the future, licenses under patents or intellectual property rights owned by third parties, including open-source software and other commercially available software, which can be costly, or cross-license agreements relating to our and third-party intellectual property. The outcome of legal claims and proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, and a negative outcome could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
Our hardware products depend on the availability and quality of components that we procure from third-party suppliers, some of which are supplied by single or limited source suppliers. Reliance on suppliers generally involves several risks, including volatile pricing, the possibility of defective parts, and loss of a supplier due to their ability to effectively manage their own supply chain, ability to obtain a contract on commercially reasonable terms, bankruptcy, or other events, which can adversely affect the reliability and reputation of our platforms and solutions and our profitability. In addition, from time to time we provide advance payments or loans to our vendors to, for example, secure procurement of long lead time parts or to provide bridge financing to ensure continuity of operations. We are also dependent on industry supply conditions and subject to supply chain risks, including unpredictable availability of components and reduced control over delivery schedules and significant increases in component costs, which can also adversely affect the reliability and reputation of our platforms and solutions and our profitability. These supply chain risks would be heightened in the event health precautions such as travel restrictions and shelter-in-place orders are implemented. In addition, limitations on factory capacity, including labor shortages, and delays in shipping times due to the Macroeconomic Conditions have in the past and may in the future adversely affect production of and the timing of delivery of components. While the general global shortage of semiconductors used in our video, cellular communicator, and other products has eased, manufacturers are increasingly shifting production capacity toward high-performance semiconductors required for AI applications. This shift limits the manufacturing capacity available for the components we utilize, creating significant risks regarding the availability and pricing of components essential to our products, including, for example, semiconductor memory such as DRAM and NAND. These supply constraints significantly increased lead times for obtaining such components and have resulted, and may continue to result, in increased component costs. Such constraints may lead to delays in our production, and we may be unable to fulfill orders for our hardware products on a timely basis or at all. Even if we are able to procure components from alternative sources, we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, higher costs for certain components procured from alternative sources. We are working with our suppliers to secure components and materials to account for the continued longer lead times and limited availability, but we cannot assure you our efforts will be successful or that demand for our hardware products will continue at the same level. In addition, global transportation disruptions have led to slower shipping times generally, while fluctuations in passenger air travel have also led to reduced capacity and increased costs for air freight shipments, which may continue to adversely affect the timing and cost of delivery of components, materials and products. Any of these disruptions to our inventory and supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. We have several large hardware suppliers from which we procure hardware on a purchase order basis, including three key suppliers that supplied products and components of our inventory which collectively represented 50%42% of our hardware revenue for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 (31%,25%, 13%11% and 6% of hardware revenue, respectively). The failure of any of these key suppliers or their subcomponent suppliers to deliver product on time or at the contracted price would materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. In addition, we rely on third-party technology providers for certain critical functions, such as processing and storing video. If our suppliers or technology providers are unable to continue to provide agreed upon supply or services, we could experience interruptions in delivery of our platforms and solutions to our service provider partners, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. If we were required to find alternative sources of supply, qualification of alternative suppliers and the establishment of reliable supplies could result in delays, loss of sales and/or less profitable sales, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had $318.1$312.4 million of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. We review such assets for impairment at least annually. Impairment may result from, among other things, deterioration in performance, adverse market conditions, including adverse market conditions arising from the Macroeconomic Conditions, adverse changes in applicable laws or regulations, including changes that restrict the activities of or affect the solutions we offer, challenges to the validity of certain registered intellectual property, reduced sales of certain products or services incorporating registered intellectual property, increased attrition and a variety of other factors. The amount of any quantified impairment must be expensed immediately as a charge to results of operations. Depending on future circumstances, it is possible that we may never realize the full value of our intangible assets. Any future determination of impairment of goodwill or other identifiable intangible assets could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.
We anticipate our efforts to operate and continue to expand our business internationally will entail additional costs and risks as we establish our international offerings and develop relationships with service provider partners to market, sell, install, and support our platforms, solutions and brand in other countries. Revenue in countries outside of North America accounted for 5% and 6% of our total revenue for the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. We have limited experience in selling our platforms and solutions in international markets outside of North America or in conforming to the local cultures, standards, or policies necessary to successfully compete in those markets, and we may be required to invest significant resources in order to do so. We may not succeed in these efforts or achieve our consumer acquisition, service provider expansion or other goals. In some international markets, consumer preferences and buying behaviors may be different, and we may use business or pricing models that are different from our traditional model to provide our platforms and solutions to consumers in those markets or we may be unsuccessful in implementing the appropriate business model. Our revenue from new foreign markets may not exceed the costs of establishing, marketing, and maintaining our international offerings. In addition, current global instability could have many adverse consequences on our international expansion. These could include sovereign default, liquidity and capital pressures on financial institutions in other parts of the world including the eurozone, reducing the availability of credit and increasing the risk of financial sector failures and the risk of one or more eurozone member states leaving the euro, resulting in the possibility of capital and exchange controls and uncertainty about the impact of contracts and currency exchange rates.
On July 3, 2025, SkyBell filed a lawsuit against us in U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Virginia, alleging that Alarm.com misappropriated SkyBell’s trade secrets relating to video doorbells. On May 26, 2026, SkyBell filed an amended complaint adding allegations that Alarm.com infringed copyrights in its computer source code. SkyBell is seeking injunctive relief, enhanced damages, attorneys’ fees, a constructive trust, and an order that Alarm.com assign to SkyBell the alleged trade secrets. Should SkyBell prevail in its lawsuit, we could be required to pay damages and/or a reasonable royalty for sales of our solution, we could be enjoined from making, using and selling our solution if a license or other right to continue selling such elements is not made available to us, we could be required to pay ongoing royalties and comply with unfavorable terms if such a license is made available to us, and we could be required to assign, transfer, and return any SkyBell trade secret that we are found to improperly possess. While we believe we have valid defenses to SkyBell’s claims, the outcome of these legal claims cannot be predicted with certainty, and any of these outcomes could result in an adverse effect on our business.

The cost of SaaS and license revenue for the Other segment increasedsee in full comparison$4.9$5.5 million primarily due to an increase in sales of our energy management and demand response solutions, including from our acquisition of RGS on November 21, 2025, which drove a corresponding increase in amounts paid to distributed energy resource providers. The cost of SaaS and license revenue for the Alarm.com segment increased$1.4$0.8 million primarily due to the growth in our subscriber base, which drove a corresponding increase in amounts paid to wireless network providers. The cost of hardware and other revenue for the Other segment increased $4.1 million primarily due to costs associated with sales of energy credits related to the acquisition of BTR on August 15, 2025, and an increase in the number of hardware units shipped related to our property management solution. The cost of hardware and other revenue for the Alarm.com segment decreased $2.2 million primarily due to recording a partial amount of the IEEPA tariff refunds we previously paid during the three months ended June 30, 2026, partially offset by a change in the mix of product sales to more hardware with higher costs related to tariffs and supplier price increases.
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. While the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated these tariffs in February 2026, the U.S. government may continue to impose tariffs under alternative statutory authorities, and the situation remains fluid. On April 20, 2026, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection began accepting refund requests through its Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries portal, and we subsequently filed for an estimated $14.5 million in tariffs previously paid under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded less than one third of the estimated $14.5 million as a reduction to cost of hardware and other revenue and processed a commensurate amount of refunds to customers, excluding certain processing fees, as a reduction to hardware and other revenue. As of June 30, 2026, we have not recorded any additional receivables related to potential refunds for previous tariffs we paid because we are unable to assess the probability of their recovery. The United States and/or countries into which we import products have adjusted and/or imposed and 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 U.S. government has since announced several tariff framework agreements, including with countries where a significant portion of our hardware is produced, which have impacted our hardware revenue margins. 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, the outcome of any new legal challenges to their validity, the process and timing for obtaining any refunds for previously paid tariffs, how other countries respond to the U.S. tariffs, and the specific timing of when we implement any additional pass-through costs.see in full comparison

Highlights of FirstSecond Quarter Results
We primarily generate SaaS and license revenue, our largest source of revenue, through our service provider partners, who resell our services and pay us monthly fees. Our service provider partners sell, install and support Alarm.com solutions that enable residential and commercial property owners to intelligently secure, connect, control and automate their properties. Our subscribers consist of all of the properties maintained by those residential and commercial property owners to which we are delivering at least one of our solutions. We derive a portion of our revenue from licensing our intellectual property to third parties on a per customer basis. SaaS and license revenue represented 68% of our revenue during the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, as compared to 69%67% and 68% in the same periodperiods in the prior year.
We also generate revenue from the sale of many types of hardware, including video cameras, video recorders, cellular radio modules, smart thermostats, image sensors, gunshot detection sensors and other peripherals, that enable our solutions. Our hardware and other revenue also includes our revenue from the sale of perpetual licenses that provide our customers in the commercial market the right to use our video surveillance software for an indefinite period of time in exchange for a one-time license fee. Additionally, our hardware and other revenue includes our revenue from the sale of licenses that provide our customers the right to use our gunshot detection solution in exchange for license fees. Hardware and other revenue represented 32% of our revenue during the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, as compared to 31%33% and 32% in the same periodperiods in the prior year. We typically expect hardware and other revenue to fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue.

Please see Non-GAAP Measures below in this section of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of the limitations of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) and a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from net income, the most directly comparable measurement in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025.
On May 29, 2026, we paid $14.1 million in cash to purchase an additional investment in SafeStreets USA, LLC, to maintain our 24.7% ownership percentage. This investment is included in the Alarm.com segment and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
On January 20, 2021, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due January 15, 2026, in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers, or the 2026 Notes. On January 14, 2026, we paid $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount to holders of the 2026 Notes, fully settling the outstanding balance in accordance with the repayment terms.
On February 24, 2026, a technology partner in which we invested was acquired by an unrelated third party. As a result of the sale, we received proceeds of $5.4 million in exchange for all of our shares of the technology partner stock after deducting $0.1 million related to an agreed holdback. As a result of the sale, we recorded a loss of $0.2 million within other expense, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
The global economy, credit markets and financial markets have and may continue to experience significant volatility as a result of the Macroeconomic Conditions. These Macroeconomic Conditions have and may continue to create supply chain disruptions, inventory disruptions, and fluctuations in economic growth, including fluctuations in employment rates, inflation, tariffs, energy prices and consumer sentiment. It remains difficult to assess or predict the ultimate duration and economic impact of the Macroeconomic Conditions. The results of operations for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for our entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, which is increasingly true in periods of uncertainty, such as the uncertainty caused by the Macroeconomic Conditions. Prolonged uncertainty with respect to the Macroeconomic Conditions could cause further economic slowdown or cause other unpredictable events, each of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents our net income before interest expense, interest income, certain activity within other expense, net, provision for income taxes, (income) / loss from equity method investments, net, amortization and depreciation expense, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related expense, legal costs and settlement fees incurred and received in connection with non-ordinary course litigation and other disputes, particularly costs involved in ongoing intellectual property litigation. We do not consider these items to be indicative of our core operating performance. The non-cash items include amortization and depreciation expense; (income) / loss from equity method investments, net; amortization of debt issuance costs for the $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due January 15, 2026, or the 2026 NotesNotes, included in interest expense; amortization of debt issuance costs for the May 31, 2024 issuance of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.25% convertible senior notes due June 1, 2029, or the 2029 Notes, included in interest expense; and stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units and other forms of equity compensation, including, but not limited to, the sale of common stock. We do not adjust for ordinary course legal expenses resulting from maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property portfolio and license agreements.
We record interest expense primarily related to our 2026 Notes and 2029 Notes. We exclude interest expense in calculating non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA because we believe the exclusion of interest expense will provide for more meaningful information about our financial performance. We exclude interest income and certain activity within other expense, net including gains, losses or impairments on investments with readily determinable fair values and without readily determinable fair values and on other assets, gains on settlement fees and losses on the early extinguishment of debt, when applicable, from non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA because we do not consider it part of our ongoing results of operations. We exclude the impact related to our provision for income taxes and (income) / loss from equity method investments, net from non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA because we do not consider these adjustments to be part of our ongoing results of operations.
Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is a key measure our management uses to understand and evaluate our core operating performance and trends to generate future operating plans, to make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital, and to make investments in initiatives that are focused on cultivating new markets for our solutions. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis and, in the case of exclusion of acquisition-related adjustments and certain historical legal expenses, excludes items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core operating performance. Non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Please see Non-GAAP Measures in this section for a discussion of the limitations of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA from net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measurement, for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025.
Our cost of SaaS and license revenue primarily includes the amounts paid to wireless network providers and, to a lesser extent, the costs of running our network operations centers which are expensed as incurred, as well as patent and royalty costs in connection with technology licensed from third-party providers and amounts paid to distributed energy resource providers. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, we had 66 and 7675 employees who manufacture hardware for our suite of IoT solutions, respectively. Our cost of hardware and other revenue primarily includes cost of raw materials, tooling, freight shipments and amounts paid to our third-party manufacturer for production and fulfillment of our cellular radio modules and image sensors, and procurement costs for our video cameras, video recorders, smart thermostats and gunshot detection sensors, which we purchase from an original equipment manufacturer, and other devices. Cost of hardware and other revenue also includes material costs and labor cost related to our employees who manufacture hardware for our suite of IoT solutions. Additionally, our cost of hardware and other revenue includes royalty costs in connection with technology licensed from third-party providers.
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. While the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated these tariffs in February 2026, the U.S. government may continue to impose tariffs under alternative statutory authorities, and the situation remains fluid. On April 20, 2026, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection began accepting refund requests through its Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries portal, and we subsequently filed for an estimated $14.5 million in tariffs previously paid under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded less than one third of the estimated $14.5 million as a reduction to cost of hardware and other revenue and processed a commensurate amount of refunds to customers, excluding certain processing fees, as a reduction to hardware and other revenue. As of June 30, 2026, we have not recorded any additional receivables related to potential refunds for previous tariffs we paid because we are unable to assess the probability of their recovery. The United States and/or countries into which we import products have adjusted and/or imposed and 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 U.S. government has since announced several tariff framework agreements, including with countries where a significant portion of our hardware is produced, which have impacted our hardware revenue margins. 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, the outcome of any new legal challenges to their validity, the process and timing for obtaining any refunds for previously paid tariffs, how other countries respond to the U.S. tariffs, and the specific timing of when we implement any additional pass-through costs.
Our operating expenses consist of sales and marketing, general and administrative, research and development and amortization and depreciation expenses. Salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, benefits and other personnel related costs are the most significant components of these expense categories, excluding amortization and depreciation. We include stock-based compensation expense in connection with the grant of restricted stock units and other forms of equity compensation, including equity compensation with performance conditions, in the applicable operating expense category based on the respective equity award recipient’s function (sales and marketing, general and administrative or research and development). We grew from 2,0202,048 employees as of MarchJune 31,30, 2025 to 2,051 employees as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, and decreasedremained fromconstant 2,058at 2,051 employees as of DecemberMarch 31, 2025.2026. We may continue to hire new employees to support the projected future growth of our business.
The number of employees in sales and marketing functions increased from 579599 as of MarchJune 31,30, 2025 to 612 as of June 30, 2026 and decreased from 615 as of March 31, 2026 and increased from 607 as of December 31, 2025.2026. We expect to continue to invest in our sales and marketing activities to expand our business both domestically and internationally. We may increase the size of our sales force and our service provider partner support team to provide additional support to our existing service provider partner base to drive their productivity in selling our solutions as well as to enroll new service provider partners in North America and in international markets.
The number of employees in general and administrative functions decreased from 236238 as of MarchJune 31,30, 2025 to 225 as of June 30, 2026 and decreased from 230 as of March 31, 2026 and decreased from 235 as of December 31, 2025.2026. Excluding intellectual property litigation and acquisition-related expense, we expect general and administrative costs to increase prospectively as our business grows. This includes cost increases related to human resources, accounting, finance, and legal personnel, additional external legal, audit fees and other expenses associated with regulations governing public companies. While somewhat unpredictable, we also expect to continue to incur costs related to litigation involving intellectual property. See the section of this Quarterly Report titled "Legal Proceedings" for additional information regarding litigation matters.
The number of employees in research and development functions increased from 1,1291,136 as of MarchJune 31,30, 2025 to 1,148 as of June 30, 2026 and increased from 1,140 as of March 31, 2026 and decreased from 1,150 as of December 31, 2025.2026. Our research and development efforts are focused on innovating new features and enhancing the functionality of our platforms and the solutions we offer to our service provider partners and subscribers. We will also continue to invest in efforts to extend our platforms to adjacent markets and internationally to maintain our leadership position in the development of intelligently connected property technology, and continued enhancement of our Partner Services Platform, a comprehensive suite of enterprise-grade business management solutions for our service provider partners.
We are subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes as well as foreign income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. As a result, we recognize tax liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. For the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, our effective tax rate was belowabove the 21.0% statutory rate primarily due to the impact of state taxes, foreign withholding taxes, a shortfall from employee stock-based compensation and other nondeductible expenses, partially offset by the impact of 2026 research and development tax credits claimed and the foreign derived deduction eligible income deduction, partially offset by the impact of state taxes, foreign withholding taxes, a shortfall from employee stock-based compensation and other nondeductible expenses.deduction. We recognize stock-based compensation tax shortfalls and excess tax windfall benefits on a discrete basis during the quarter in which they occur, and we anticipate our effective tax rate will vary from quarter to quarter depending on our stock price as well as the vesting and exercises of various forms of equity compensation under our equity incentive plans each period, including restricted stock units and stock options.
