Overview Alarm.com is the leading platform for the intelligently connected property. We offer a comprehensive suite of cloud-based solutions for smart residential and commercial properties, including interactive security, video monitoring, intelligent automation, energy management and wellness solutions. Millions of property owners depend on our technology to intelligently secure, automate and manage their residential and commercial properties. In the last year alone, our platforms processed more than 200 billion data points generated by over 100 million connected devices. We believe that this scale of subscribers, connected devices and data operations makes us the leader in the connected property market. Our solutions are delivered through an established network of over 10,000 trusted service providers, who are experts at selling, installing and supporting our solutions. We primarily generate SaaS and license revenue through our service provider partners, who resell these services and pay us monthly fees. These service provider contracts typically have an initial term of one year, with subsequent renewal terms of one year. Our service provider partners have indicated that they typically have three to five-year service contracts with residential and commercial property owners who use our solutions. We also generate hardware and other revenue, primarily from our service provider partners and distributors. Our hardware sales include connected devices that enable our services, such as video cameras, video recorders, gunshot detection sensors, gateway modules and smart thermostats. We believe that the length of our service relationships with residential and commercial property owners, combined with our robust platforms and over 20 years of operating experience, contribute to a compelling business model. Our solutions are designed to make both residential and commercial properties safer, smarter and more efficient. Our technology platforms support all participants in what we refer to as the connected property market. This market includes the residential and commercial property owners who subscribe to our services, the hardware partners who manufacture devices that integrate with our platforms and the service provider partners who install and maintain our solutions. The Alarm.com platform enables our service provider partners to deploy our interactive security, video monitoring, intelligent automation, energy management and wellness solutions as stand-alone offerings or as combined solutions to address the needs of a broad range of customers. Highlights of Second 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 60% and 61% of our revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to 68% and 64% in the same periods in the prior year. 32 We also generate SaaS and license revenue from monthly fees charged to service providers on a per subscriber basis for access to our non-hosted software platform, or Software platform. The non-hosted software for interactive security, automation and related solutions is typically deployed and operated by the service provider in its own network operations center. Software license revenue represented 4% and 5% of our revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to 7% for the same periods in the prior year. We also generate revenue from the sale of many types of hardware, including video cameras, video recorders, cellular radio modules, 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. Our hardware and other revenue also 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 40% and 39% of our revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to 32% and 36% in the same periods in the prior year. We typically expect hardware and other revenue to fluctuate as a percentage of total revenue. Highlights of our financial performance for the periods covered in this Quarterly Report include: • SaaS and license revenue increased 18% to $113.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $95.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. SaaS and license revenue increased 18% to $220.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $187.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Included in SaaS and license revenue was software license revenue, which decreased to $8.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $9.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. Included in SaaS and license revenue was software license revenue, which decreased to $17.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $19.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. • Total revenue increased 33% to $188.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $141.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. Total revenue increased 23% to $361.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $293.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. • Net income decreased to $14.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $16.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net income increased to $29.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $25.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Net income attributable to common stockholders decreased to $14.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $17.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net income attributable to common stockholders increased to $29.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $25.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance, increased to $38.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 from $29.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $73.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 from $58.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Please see Non-GAAP Measures below in this section of this Quarterly Report for a discussion of the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most comparable measurement in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Recent Developments The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted and may continue to disrupt our supply chain for an unknown period of time due to its impact on manufacturing, production and global transportation. The COVID-19 pandemic also disrupted and may intermittently continue to disrupt our sales channels due to restrictions on our service providers’ ability to meet with residential and commercial property owners who use our solutions. We have taken precautionary measures intended to help protect our employees, service providers and subscribers, as well as the communities in which we participate, including enabling substantially all of our employees to work remotely. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a global slowdown of economic activity and a recession in the United States and the economic situation remains fluid as parts of the economy appear to be recovering while others continue to struggle. While vaccines have been approved for use in the United States and in many other countries, and vaccination efforts are underway, it remains difficult to assess or predict the ultimate duration and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for our entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, which is increasingly true in periods of extreme uncertainty, such as the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Prolonged uncertainty with respect to COVID-19 could cause further economic slowdown or cause other unpredictable events, each of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. While our business and those of our service providers showed some resiliency beginning in 2020 and continuing into 2021, if the economy fails to fully recover or there are additional shutdowns of non-essential businesses due to a resurgence of COVID-19 and the emergence and severity of COVID-19 variants, our SaaS and license revenue growth rate may be lower in future periods, with a corresponding reduction in hardware revenue, if some consumers or small businesses defer or cancel 33 previously anticipated purchases. The challenges posed by COVID-19 on our business continue to evolve rapidly and we will continue to evaluate our business and operations in light of future developments. Other Business Metrics We regularly monitor a number of financial and operating metrics in order to measure our current performance and estimate our future performance. Our other business metrics may be calculated in a manner different from the way similar business metrics used by other companies are calculated and include the following (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 SaaS and license revenue $ 113,186 $ 95,704 $ 220,569 $ 187,654 Adjusted EBITDA 38,006 29,210 73,612 58,399 Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 SaaS and license revenue renewal rate 95 % 94 % SaaS and License Revenue SaaS and license revenue is a GAAP measure that we use to measure our current performance and estimate our future performance. We believe that SaaS and license revenue is an indicator of the productivity of our existing service provider partners and their ability to activate and maintain subscribers using our intelligently connected property solutions, our ability to add new service provider partners reselling our solutions, the demand for our intelligently connected property solutions and the pace at which the market for these solutions is growing. Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents our net income before interest expense, interest income, other income / (expense), net, benefit from income taxes, amortization and depreciation expense, stock-based compensation expense, secondary offering expense, acquisition-related (benefit) / expense and legal costs and settlement fees incurred 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, amortization of debt discount and 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, and stock-based compensation expense related to stock options 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. Adjusted EBITDA is a key measure that 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 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. 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 Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most comparable GAAP measurement, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. SaaS and License Revenue Renewal Rate Our SaaS and license revenue renewal rate is an operating metric. We measure our SaaS and license revenue renewal rate on a trailing 12-month basis by dividing (a) the total SaaS and license revenue recognized during the trailing 12-month period from our subscribers on our Alarm.com platform who were subscribers on the first day of the period, by (b) total SaaS and license revenue we would have recognized during the period from those same subscribers assuming no terminations, or service level upgrades or downgrades. The SaaS and license revenue renewal rate represents both residential and commercial properties. Our SaaS and license revenue renewal rate is expressed as an annualized percentage and it is calculated across our entire subscriber base on the Alarm.com platform excluding subscribers of service providers that may use one of our other platforms as a substitute for the Alarm.com platform. Our service provider partners, who resell our services to our subscribers, have indicated that they typically have three to five-year service contracts with our subscribers. Our SaaS and license revenue 34 renewal rate is calculated across our entire subscriber base on the Alarm.com platform, including subscribers whose contract with their service provider reached the end of its contractual term during the measurement period, as well as subscribers whose contract with their service provider has not reached the end of its contractual term during the measurement period, and is not intended to estimate the rate at which our subscribers renew their contracts with our service provider partners. We believe that our SaaS and license revenue renewal rate allows us to measure our ability to retain and grow our SaaS and license revenue and serves as an indicator of the lifetime value of our subscriber base. Components of Operating Results Our fiscal year ends on December 31. The key elements of our operating results include: Revenue We derive our revenue from three primary sources: the sale of cloud-based SaaS services on our integrated Alarm.com platform, the sale of licenses and services on the Software platform and the sale of hardware products. We sell our platform and hardware solutions to service provider partners that resell our solutions and hardware to residential and commercial property owners, who are the service provider partners’ customers. SaaS and License Revenue . We generate the majority of our SaaS and license revenue primarily from monthly fees charged to our service provider partners on a per subscriber basis for access to our cloud-based intelligently connected property platform and related solutions. Our fees per subscriber vary based upon the service plan and features utilized. We offer multiple service level packages for our platform solutions including a range of solutions and a range of a la carte add-ons for additional features. The fee paid by our service provider partners each month for the delivery of our solutions is based on the combination of packages and add-ons enabled for each subscriber. We utilize tiered pricing plans where our service provider partners may receive prospective pricing discounts driven by volume. We also generate SaaS and license revenue from the fees paid to us when we license our intellectual property to third parties for use of our patents. In addition, in certain markets, our EnergyHub subsidiary sells its demand response service for an annual service fee, with pricing based on the number of subscribers or amount of aggregate electricity demand made available for a utility’s or market’s control. Software License Revenue . Our SaaS and license revenue also includes our software license revenue from monthly fees charged to service providers on a per subscriber basis for access to our Software platform. The non-hosted software for interactive security, automation and related solutions is typically deployed and operated by the service provider in its own network operations center. Our agreements for the Software platform solution typically include software and services, such as post-contract customer support, or PCS. Software license revenue included in SaaS and license revenue is expected to continue to decline over time as we transition subscribers to our cloud-based hosted platform. Hardware and Other Revenue. We generate hardware and other revenue primarily from the sale of video cameras, video recorders and cellular radio modules that provide access to our cloud-based platforms and, to a lesser extent, the sale of other devices, including image sensors, gunshot detection sensors and peripherals. We primarily transfer hardware to our customers upon delivery to the customer, which corresponds with the time at which the customer obtains control of the hardware. We record a reserve against revenue for hardware returns based on historical returns. 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 OpenEye video surveillance software for an indefinite period of time in exchange for a one-time license fee, which is generally paid at contract inception. Our hardware and other revenue also includes our revenue from Shooter Detection Systems related to the sale of licenses that provide our customers the right to use our indoor gunshot detection solution in exchange for license fees, which are generally paid at contract inception. 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. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, governments, public institutions and other organizations in many countries and localities where COVID-19 has been detected have taken certain emergency measures, and may from time to time take additional emergency measures, to combat its spread, including imposing lockdowns, shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, restrictions on travel and gatherings and the extended shutdown non-essential businesses that cannot be conducted remotely. These emergency measures remain in place to varying degrees. We have seen and anticipate we may continue to see disruption to our hardware supply chain, including limited inventory availability, increased lead times, and shipping delays, due to the impact of COVID-19 on manufacturing, production and global transportation, as well as to our sales channels due to restrictions on our service providers’ ability to meet with residential and commercial property owners who use our solutions, reluctance of service providers and property owners to meet even where such restrictions have been lifted and general economic conditions. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a global slowdown of economic activity and a recession in the 35 United States and the economic situation remains fluid as parts of the economy appear to be recovering while others continue to struggle. While vaccines have been approved for use in the United States and in many other countries, and vaccination efforts are underway, it remains difficult to assess or predict the ultimate duration and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the future impact on global supply chains from COVID-19 is difficult to predict, the full extent to which COVID-19 may negatively affect our hardware revenue is uncertain; however, if the economy fails to fully recover or there are additional shutdowns of non-essential businesses due to a resurgence of COVID-19 and the emergence and severity of COVID-19 variants, our SaaS and license revenue growth rate may be lower in future periods, with a corresponding reduction in hardware revenue, if some consumers or small businesses defer or cancel previously anticipated purchases. Cost of Revenue 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. Our cost of SaaS and license revenue also includes our cost of software license revenue, which primarily includes the payroll and payroll-related costs of the department dedicated to providing service exclusively to those service providers that host the Software platform. Our cost of hardware and other revenue primarily includes cost of raw materials, tooling 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 and gunshot detection sensors, which we purchase from an original equipment manufacturer, and other devices. Our cost of hardware and other revenue also includes royalty costs in connection with technology licensed from third-party providers. We record the cost of SaaS and license revenue as expenses are incurred, which corresponds to the delivery period of our services to our subscribers. We record the cost of hardware and other revenue primarily when the hardware and other services are delivered to the service provider partner, which occurs when control of the hardware and other services transfers to the service provider partner. Our cost of revenue excludes amortization and depreciation shown in operating expenses. 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. Approximately one-fifth to one-half 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 have 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. Operating Expenses 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 stock options 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 1,317 employees as of June 30, 2020 to 1,421 employees as of June 30, 2021, and we expect to continue to hire new employees to support the projected future growth of our business. Sales and Marketing Expense. Sales and marketing expense consists primarily of personnel and related expenses for our sales and marketing teams, including salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, benefits, travel, and commissions. Our sales and marketing teams engage in sales, account management, service provider partner support, advertising, promotion of our products and services and marketing. The number of employees in sales and marketing functions increased from 441 as of June 30, 2020 to 456 as of June 30, 2021 and slightly decreased from 457 as of March 31, 2021. We expect to continue to invest in our sales and marketing activities to expand our business both domestically and internationally. We intend to 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. General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense consists primarily of personnel and related expenses for our administrative, legal, human resources, finance and accounting personnel, including salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, benefits and other personnel costs. Additional expenses included in this category are legal costs, including those that are incurred to defend and license our intellectual property, as well as non-personnel costs, such as travel related expenses, rent, subcontracting and professional fees, audit fees, tax services, and insurance expenses. Also included in general and administrative expenses are credit losses and acquisition-related expenses, which consist primarily of legal, accounting and professional service fees directly related to acquisitions and valuation gains or losses on acquisition-related contingent liabilities. 36 The number of employees in general and administrative functions increased from 155 as of June 30, 2020 to 173 as of June 30, 2021 and increased from 160 as of March 31, 2021. 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 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. 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, 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 as well as acquisition costs of IPR&D with no alternative future use. The number of employees in research and development functions increased from 721 as of June 30, 2020 to 792 as of June 30, 2021 and slightly decreased from 797 as of March 31, 2021. 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 Enterprise Tools platform for our service provider partners. Amortization and Depreciation . Amortization and depreciation consists of amortization of intangible assets originating from our acquisitions as well as our internally-developed capitalized software. Our depreciation expense is related to investments in property and equipment. Acquired intangible assets include developed technology, customer related intangibles, trademarks and trade names. We expect in the near term that amortization and depreciation may fluctuate based on our acquisition activity, development of our platforms and capitalized expenditures. Interest Expense Interest expense consists of interest expense associated with our 2026 Notes and our 2017 Facility, which was terminated in January 2021. Interest expense is expected to increase in 2021, as compared to 2020 due to the non-cash interest expense related to the 2026 Notes issued on January 20, 2021. Interest Income Interest income consists of interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents and our notes receivable. Other Income / (Expense), Net Other income / (expense), net primaril y cons ists of non-operating and miscellaneous expense and income, including the $0.2 million loss on the early extinguishment of the 2017 Facility during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Benefit from Income Taxes 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. Our effective tax rates were below the statutory rate primarily due to research and development tax credits claimed, tax windfall benefits from employee stock-based payment transactions and foreign derived intangible income deductions, partially offset by the impact of state taxes and valuation allowances recorded against state research and development tax credit carryforwards. We recognize excess tax windfall benefits on a discrete basis during the quarter in which they occur, and we anticipate that our effective tax rate will vary from quarter to quarter depending on our stock price and exercises of stock options under our equity incentive plans each period. 37 Results of Operations The following table sets forth our unaudited selected condensed consolidated statements of operations and data as a percentage of revenue for the periods presented (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Revenue: SaaS and license revenue $ 113,186 60 % $ 95,704 68 % $ 220,569 61 % $ 187,654 64 % Hardware and other revenue 75,671 40 45,933 32 140,786 39 105,922 36 Total revenue 188,857 100 141,637 100 361,355 100 293,576 100 Cost of revenue (1) : Cost of SaaS and license revenue 17,201 9 13,001 9 32,357 9 25,329 8 Cost of hardware and other revenue 60,166 32 36,004 25 110,772 31 81,656 28 Total cost of revenue 77,367 41 49,005 34 143,129 40 106,985 36 Operating expenses: Sales and marketing (2) 20,529 11 16,920 12 39,528 11 33,995 12 General and administrative (2) 23,268 12 17,359 12 46,150 12 38,224 13 Research and development (2) 43,491 23 36,636 26 85,958 24 76,366 26 Amortization and depreciation 7,477 4 6,723 5 14,862 4 13,145 4 Total operating expenses 94,765 50 77,638 55 186,498 51 161,730 55 Operating income 16,725 9 14,994 11 31,728 9 24,861 9 Interest expense (4,154) (2) (868) (1) (7,522) (2) (1,513) (1) Interest income 149 — 157 — 306 — 616 — Other income / (expense), net 32 — 65 — (123) — 157 — Income before income taxes 12,752 7 14,348 10 24,389 7 24,121 8 Benefit from income taxes (1,738) (1) (2,277) (2) (4,651) (1) (1,075) (1) Net income $ 14,490 8 % $ 16,625 12 % $ 29,040 8 % $ 25,196 9 % _______________ (1) Excludes amortization and depreciation shown in operating expenses below.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue, costs and expenses during the reported period. In accordance with GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the use of estimates inherent in the financial reporting process in light of the continuing uncertainty arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material. To the extent that there are 43 differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. Except as disclosed in Note 2 of our notes to the condensed consolidated financial statement and as disclosed below, there were no other material changes to our use of estimates or other critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on February 25, 2021, or Annual Report. Convertible Senior Notes In accounting for the issuance of our convertible senior notes, we separate the notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component is calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature, using a discounted cash flow model with a risk adjusted yield. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option is determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the par value of the notes as a whole. This difference represents a debt discount that is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the notes. Transaction costs attributable to the liability component are netted with the liability component and amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the notes. Transaction costs attributable to the equity component are netted with the equity component of the notes in additional paid-in capital in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We did not make any material changes to the underlying assumptions used to separate the notes into liability and equity components for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and we do not expect any material changes in the near term to the underlying assumptions used to calculate the liability and equity components of our convertible senior notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. However, if changes in these assumptions occur, and, should those changes be significant, they could have a material impact on the liability and equity balances related to the convertible senior notes as well as interest expense. Recently Issued Accounting Standards See Note 2 of our condensed consolidated financial statements for information related to recently issued accounting standards. Liquidity and Capital Resources Working Capital The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net and working capital, for the periods indicated (in thousands): June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020 Cash and cash equivalents $ 662,682 $ 253,459 Accounts receivable, net 92,612 83,326 Working capital 733,689 307,170 We define working capital as current assets minus current liabilities. Our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2021 are available for working capital purposes. We do not enter into investments for trading purposes, and our investment policy is to invest any excess cash in short term, highly liquid investments that limit the risk of principal loss; therefore, our cash and cash equivalents are held in demand deposit accounts that generate very low returns. Liquidity and Capital Resources As of June 30, 2021, we had $662.7 million in cash and cash equivalents. We consider all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity from the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. To date, we have principally financed our operations through cash generated by operating activities and, to a lesser extent, through private and public equity and convertible senior note financings. 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 and received proceeds 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 2017 Facility and also used some of the proceeds to pay accrued interest, fees and expenses related to the 2017 Facility. We terminated the 2017 Facility effective January 20, 2021. We are using the remaining net proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions or strategic investments in complementary businesses or technologies. In February 2021, we paid $5.0 million in cash to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock from one of our technology partners as part of a financing round that included other investors. 44 We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents and our future cash flows from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated operating cash needs f or at least the next 12 months. Over the final six months of fiscal year 2021, we expect our capital expenditure requirements to be approximately $4.1 million, primarily related to the continued build out of our leased office space as well as purchases of computer software and equipment. Maturities of lease liabilities for our various office and equipment leases are as follows: $6.0 million for the remainder of 2021, $10.7 million in 2022, $10.0 million in 2023, $8.6 million in 2024, $7.5 million in 2025 and $4.8 million in 2026 and thereafter. Our future working capital, capital expenditure and cash requirements will depend on many factors, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our operations, the rate of our revenue growth, the amount and timing of our investments in human resources and capital equipment, future acquisitions and investments, and the timing and extent of our introduction of new solutions and platform and solution enhancements. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy and our operations evolves, we will continue to assess our liquidity needs. To the extent our cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operating activities are insufficient to fund our future activities, we may need to borrow additional funds or raise funds from public or private equity or debt financings. If we raise additional funds through the incurrence of indebtedness, such indebtedness would likely have rights that are senior to holders of our equity securities and could contain covenants that restrict our operations. Any additional equity financing would be dilutive to our current stockholders. Sources of Liquidity The 2017 Facility was a revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders to finance working capital and certain permitted acquisitions and investments. The 2017 Facility was available to us to refinance existing debt and for general corporate and working capital purposes including acquisitions, and prior to its termination on January 20, 2021, had a borrowing capacity of $125.0 million. We had the option to increase the borrowing capacity of the 2017 Facility to $175.0 million with the consent of the lenders. On January 20, 2021, we repaid the entire outstanding balance of $110.0 million of the 2017 Facility with proceeds from the 2026 Notes. The 2017 Facility is di scussed in more detail below under “Debt Obligations.” 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 and received proceeds of $484.3 million, net of $15.7 million of transaction fees and other debt issuance costs. The convertible senior notes are di scussed in more detail below under “Debt Obligations.” Dividends We did not declare or pay dividends during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. We cannot provide any assurance that we will declare or pay cash dividends on our common stock in the future. We currently anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of the board of directors after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs, the requirements of current or then-existing debt instruments and other factors the board of directors deems relevant. Stock Repurchase Programs On November 29, 2018, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program, under which we were authorized to purchase up to an aggregate of $75.0 million of our outstanding common stock during the two-year period ended November 29, 2020. On December 3, 2020, our board of directors authorized another stock repurchase program, under which we are authorized to purchase up to an aggregate of $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock during the three-year period ending December 3, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 147,153 shares of our common stock under the program that expired on November 29, 2020 in open market purchases for a total consideration of $5.1 million. No shares were repurchased under this program during the three months ended June 30, 2020. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock under the program that expires on December 3, 2023. Historical Cash Flows The following table sets forth our cash flows for the periods indicated (in thousands): Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 Cash flows from operating activities $ 45,308 $ 48,048 Cash flows used in investing activities (12,376) (9,306) Cash flows from financing activities 376,291 47,456 45 Operating Activities Cash flows from operating activities have typically been generated from our net income and by changes in our operating assets and liabilities, particularly from accounts receivable and inventory, adjusted for non-cash expense items such as amortization and depreciation, deferred income taxes and stock-based compensation. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash flows from operating activities were $45.3 million, compared to $48.0 million for the same period in the prior year. This $2.7 million decrease in cash flows from operating activities was due to a $15.0 million decrease in cash from operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by a $8.5 million increase in non-cash and other reconciling items and a $3.8 million increase in net income. The $15.0 million decrease in cash from operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to differences in timing of collection of receipts and payments of disbursements and, to a lesser extent, increases in prepayments for long lead-time parts related to inventory and other assets during the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The $8.5 million increase in non-cash and other reconciling items was primarily due to a $7.3 million increase in amortization of the debt discount and debt issuance costs related to the convertible senior notes during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as well as a $4.5 million increase in stock-based compensation resulting from additional grants of stock options and restricted stock units during the six months ended June 30, 2021. These increases in non-cash and other reconciling items were partially offset by a $4.6 million change in deferred income taxes, primarily due to increased tax windfall benefits from employee stock-based payment transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in the prior year. Investing Activities Our investing activities typically include acquisitions, capital expenditures, investments in unconsolidated entities, notes receivable issued to companies with offerings complementary to ours and proceeds from the repayment of those notes receivable. Our capital expenditures have primarily been for general business use, including leasehold improvements as we have expanded our office space to accommodate our growth in headcount, computer equipment used internally and expansion of our network operations centers. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our cash flows used in investing activities was $12.4 million, as compared to $9.3 million for the same period in the prior year. The $3.1 million increase in cash flows used in investing activities was primarily due to the $5.0 million used to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock from one of our technology partners during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as well as a $2.0 million reduction in repayments of notes receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in the prior year. These increases in cash flows used in investing activities were partially offset by $3.3 million used to acquire in-process research and development during the six months ended June 30, 2020 that did not occur during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Financing Activities Cash generated by financing activities includes borrowings under the 2017 Facility, proceeds from convertible senior notes and proceeds from the issuance of common stock from employee stock option exercises and from our employee stock purchase plan. Cash used in financing activities typically includes repurchases of common stock and repayments of debt. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash flows from financing activities was $376.3 million, compared to $47.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The $328.8 million increase in cash flows from financing activities was primarily due to $484.3 million in proceeds from the issuance of convertible senior notes, net of issuance costs paid. This increase in cash flows from financing activities was partially offset by the repayment of $110.0 million to terminate the 2017 Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2021 that did not occur during the same period in the prior year as well as the borrowing of $50.0 million under the 2017 Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2020 that did not occur during six months ended June 30, 2021. Contractual Obligations As of June 30, 2021, there were no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments from those disclosed in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report, other than the $500.0 million issuance of the 2026 Notes in January 2021 and the $110.0 million repayment to terminate the 2017 Facility on January 20, 2021. 46 Debt Obligations Convertible Senior Notes 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. The terms of the 2026 Notes are governed by an Indenture, or the 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 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. We may not redeem the 2026 Notes prior to January 20, 2024. We may redeem for cash, all or any portion of the 2026 Notes, at our option, on or after January 20, 2024, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for the 2026 Notes then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption. No sinking fund is provided for the 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding August 15, 2025, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on June 30, 2021 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the 2026 Notes on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period immediately after any ten consecutive trading day period in which, for each trading day of that period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate for the 2026 Notes on each such trading day; (3) if we call any or all of the 2026 Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the 2026 Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as set forth in the Indenture. On or after August 15, 2025, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the 2026 Notes, holders of the 2026 Notes may convert all or any portion of their 2026 Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon conversion, we may satisfy our conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock, at our election. It is our current intent to settle the principal amount of the 2026 Notes with cash. The initial conversion rate for the 2026 Notes is 6.7939 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of $147.19 per share of our common stock, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date of the 2026 Notes or if we deliver a notice of redemption in respect of the 2026 Notes, we will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate of the 2026 Notes for a holder who elects to convert its 2026 Notes (or any portion thereof) in connection with such a corporate event or convert its 2026 Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption during the related redemption period (as defined in the Indenture), as the case may be. If we undergo a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), subject to certain exceptions and except as described in the Indenture, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 2026 Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. The Indenture includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the 2026 Notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving us after which the 2026 Notes become automatically due and payable. 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 (see the section titled "2017 Facility" below). We are using the remaining net proceeds from the issuance of the 2026 Notes for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions or strategic investments in complementary businesses or technologies. 47 2017 Facility On October 6, 2017, we entered into a $125.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, or the 2017 Facility, with SVB, as administrative agent, PNC Bank, National Association, as documentation agent, and a syndicate of lenders. Upon entry into the 2017 Facility, we borrowed $72.0 million, which was used to repay the previously outstanding balance under our previous credit facility. The 2017 Facility was set to mature in October 2022 and included an option to further increase the borrowing capacity to $175.0 million with the consent of the lenders. Costs incurred in connection with the 2017 Facility were capitalized and were being amortized as interest expense over the term of the 2017 Facility. The 2017 Facility was secured by substantially all of our assets, including our intellectual property. On March 25, 2020, we borrowed $50.0 million under the 2017 Facility as a precautionary measure in order to provide financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the financial markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. On January 20, 2021, we repaid the entire outstanding principal balance of $110.0 million of the 2017 Facility with proceeds from the 2026 Notes and the 2017 Facility was terminated. We recognized an extinguishment loss of $0.2 million in other income / (expense), net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2021 for previously capitalized debt issuance costs related to the 2017 Facility that were unamortized at the time of the termination of the 2017 Facility. The outstanding principal balance on the 2017 Facility accrued interest at a rate equal to, at our option, either (1) LIBOR, plus an applicable margin based on our consolidated leverage ratio, or (2) the highest of (a) the Wall Street Journal prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, or (c) LIBOR plus 1.00% plus an applicable margin based on our consolidated leverage ratio. During 2021 until the termination of the 2017 Facility on January 20, 2021, we elected for the outstanding principal balance to accrue interest at LIBOR plus 1.50%, LIBOR plus 1.75%, LIBOR plus 2.00%, and LIBOR plus 2.50% when our consolidated leverage ratio is less than 1.00:1.00, greater than or equal to 1.00:1.00 but less than 2.00:1.00, greater than or equal to 2.00:1.00 but less than 3.00:1.00 and greater than or equal to 3.00:1.00, respectively. The 2017 Facility also carried an unused line commitment fee of 0.20%. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the effective interest rate on the 2017 Facility was 3.42%. The carrying value of the 2017 Facility was zero and $110.0 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The 2017 Facility included a variable interest rate that approximated market rates and, as such, we classified the liability as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and determined that the carrying amount of the 2017 Facility approximated its fair value as of December 31, 2020. Non-GAAP Measures We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income before interest expense, interest income, other income / (expense), net, benefit from income taxes, amortization and depreciation expense, stock-based compensation expense, secondary offering expense, acquisition-related (benefit) / expense and legal costs and settlement fees incurred 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, amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs for the 2026 Notes included in interest expense, stock-based compensation expense related to stock options 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. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. See the table below for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We have included Adjusted EBITDA in this report because it is a key measure that 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. We also use Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as a performance measure under our executive bonus plan. Further, we believe the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating Adjusted EBITDA facilitates comparisons of our operating performance on a period-to-period basis and, in the case of exclusion of acquisition-related expense and certain historical legal expenses, excludes items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core operating performance. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (a) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements; (b) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (c) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the potentially dilutive impact of equity-based compensation; (d) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us; and (e) other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA or similarly titled measures differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. 48 Because of these and other limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside our other GAAP-based financial performance measures, net income and our other GAAP financial results. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Adjusted EBITDA: Net income $ 14,490 $ 16,625 $ 29,040 $ 25,196 Adjustments: Interest expense, interest income and other income / (expense), net 3,973 646 7,339 740 Benefit from income taxes (1,738) (2,277) (4,651) (1,075) Amortization and depreciation expense 7,477 6,723 14,862 13,145 Stock-based compensation expense 10,056 7,095 17,944 13,453 Secondary offering expense — 543 — 543 Acquisition-related (benefit) / expense — (1,708) 29 2,348 Litigation expense 3,748 1,563 9,049 4,049 Total adjustments 23,516 12,585 44,572 33,203 Adjusted EBITDA $ 38,006 $ 29,210 $ 73,612 $ 58,399
