APX Group Holdings, Inc. (the ”Company”, “Vivint”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) obtained the industry, market and competitive position data included in this

presentation from its estimates and research as well as from industry publications, surveys and studies conducted by third parties. Industry publication

studies and surveys generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable but there can be no

assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of such information. While APX Group, Inc. believes that each of the publications, studies and surveys is

reliable, We have not independently verified industry, market and competitive position data from third-party sources. While we believe our internal

business research is reliable and the market definitions are appropriate, neither such research nor these definitions have been verified by any

independent sources. Accordingly, you should not place undue weight on the industry and market share data in this presentation.

This presentation includes forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to,

statements related to the performance of our business, our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources, our plans, strategies and prospects, both

business and financial and other non-historical statements. Forward-looking statements convey the Company’s current expectations or forecasts of

future events. All statements contained in this earnings release other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. These

statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in

or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that we will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or

expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These statements may be preceded by,

followed by or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,”

“anticipates” or “intends” or similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on these statements which speak only as of this

date hereof. You should understand that the following important factors, in addition to those discussed in “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report

on Form 10K, and other reports filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”), could affect our future results and could cause those results or

other outcomes to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements: (1) risks of the security and smart home industry,

including risks of and publicity surrounding the sales, subscriber origination and retention process; (2) the highly competitive nature of the security and

smart home industry and product introductions and promotional activity by our competitors; (3) litigation, complaints or adverse publicity; (4) the impact

of changes in consumer spending patterns, consumer preferences, local, regional, and national economic conditions, crime, weather, demographic

trends and employee availability; (5) adverse publicity and product liability claims; (6) increases and/or decreases in utility and other energy costs,

increased costs related to utility or governmental requirements; and (7) cost increases or shortages in security and smart home technology products or

components. In addition, the origination and retention of new subscribers will depend on various factors, including, but not limited to, market availability,

subscriber interest, the availability of suitable components, the negotiation of acceptable contract terms with subscribers, local permitting, licensing and

regulatory compliance, and our ability to manage anticipated expansion and to hire, train and retain personnel, the financial viability of subscribers and

general economic conditions. These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from those implied by the forward-looking statements in

this presentation are more fully described in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as such factors may be updated

from time to time in our periodic filings with the SEC. These risk factors should not be construed as exhaustive. We disclaim any obligations to and do

not intend to update the above list or to announce publicly the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements to reflect future events or

developments. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing

cautionary statements. We undertake no obligations to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether a result of new information,

future events, or otherwise.

non-GAAP financial measuresThis presentation includes Adjusted EBITDA and Steady-State Free Cash Flow (“SSFCF”), which are supplemental measures that are not required

by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Adjusted EBITDA and SSFCF are not

measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other measure

derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. We believe the presentation

of Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide useful information about the flexibility we have under our covenants to investors, lenders, financial

analysts and rating agencies since these groups have historically used EBITDA-related measures in our industry, along with other measures, to

estimate the value of a company, to make informed investment decisions, and to evaluate a company’s ability to meet its debt service requirements.

Adjusted EBITDA eliminates the effect of non-cash depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of intangible assets, much of which results from

acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Adjusted EBITDA also eliminates the effects of interest rates and changes in

capitalization which management believes may not necessarily be indicative of a company’s underlying operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is

also used by us to measure covenant compliance under the indenture governing our senior secured notes, the indenture governing our senior

unsecured notes and the credit agreement governing our revolving credit facility.

We believe that SSFCF is a useful measure of pre-levered cash that is generated by the business after the cost of replacing recurring revenue lost

to attrition, but before the cost of new subscribers driving recurring revenue growth. The use of SSFCF is subject to certain limitations. For

example, SSFCF adjusts for cash items that are ultimately within management’s discretion to direct and therefore the measure may imply that there

is less or more cash that is available for the Company’s operations than the most comparable GAAP measure.

We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA and SSFCF may not be comparable to similar

measures disclosed by other issuers, because not all issuers and analysts calculate Adjusted EBITDA and SSFCF in the same manner.

See Annex A of this presentation for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and SSFCF to net loss for the Company, which we believe is the most

closely comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and SSFCF should be considered in addition to and

not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP.

reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures – APX Group($ in Millions)

1. Adjustment based on management’s estimated G&A savings in Steady State is 50% of last quarter annualized G&A.

2.

(i) Reflects costs related to the restructuring charges and asset impairments related to the transition of our Wireless Internet business.

(ii) Excludes loan amortization costs that are included in interest expense.

(iii) Reflects subscriber acquisition costs that are expensed as incurred because they are not directly related to the acquisition of specific

subscribers. Certain other industry participants purchase subscribers through subscriber contract purchases, and as a result, may capitalize

the full cost to purchase these subscribers contracts, as compared to our organic generation of new subscribers, which requires us to expense

a portion of our subscriber acquisition costs under GAAP.

(iv) Reflects non-cash compensation costs related to employee and director stock and stock option plans.

(v) Non-recurring gain on the 2GIG sale.

(vi) Bonuses and transaction related costs associated with the 2GIG sale.

(vii) Other adjustments including items such as product development costs, fire related expenses, subcontracted monitoring fee savings and other

similar adjustments.

certain definitionsTotal Subscribers – The aggregate number of active security and home automation subscribers at the end of a given period

RMR – The recurring monthly revenue billed to a security and home automation subscriber

Total RMR – The aggregate RMR billed for all security and home automation subscribers

Average RMR per Subscriber – The Total RMR divided by Total Subscribers. This is also commonly referred to as Average Revenue per User, or

ARPU

Average RMR per New Subscriber – The aggregate RMR for new subscribers originated during a period divided by the number of new subscribers

originated during such period

Attrition – The aggregate number of canceled security and home automation subscribers during a period divided by the monthly weighted average

number of total security and home automation subscribers for such period. Subscribers are considered canceled when they terminate in accordance

with the terms of their contract, are terminated by us, or if payment from such subscribers is deemed uncollectible (when at least four monthly billings

become past due). Sales of contracts to third parties and moves are excluded from the attrition calculation

Net Subscriber Acquisition Costs – Defined as direct and indirect costs to create a new security and home automation subscriber. These include

commissions, equipment, installation, marketing and other allocations (G&A and overhead), less activation fees and up sell revenue. These costs also

exclude residuals and long-term equity expenses associated with the direct-to-home sales channel.

Net Creation Cost Multiple – Defined as Net Subscriber Acquisition Costs, divided by the number of net new subscribers originated, and then divided

by the Average RMR per New Subscriber

Adjusted EBITDA – Net Income (loss) before interest expense (net of interest income), income and franchise taxes and depreciation and amortization

(including amortization of capitalized subscriber acquisition costs), further adjusted to exclude the effects of certain contract sales to third parties, non-

capitalized subscriber acquisition costs, stock-based compensation, the historical results of the Company’s Solar variable interest entity and certain

unusual, non-cash, non-recurring and other items permitted in certain covenant calculations under the indentures governing the notes

Last Quarter Annualized Adjusted EBITDA (“LQA Adjusted EBITDA”) – A common industry measure used to reflect the step-function in earnings

during the sales season related to the subscribers generated from April to August. LQA Adjusted EBITDA, calculated by multiplying Adjusted EBITDA

for the most recent fiscal quarter by 4, represents the ongoing earnings power of Vivint’s current subscriber base and is potentially a more relevant

metric than LTM due to the recurring nature of the revenue and expected earnings

Net Service Cost – Defined as total service costs, including monitoring, customer service, field service and other allocations (G&A and overhead)

costs, less total service revenue divided by total service subscribers

Net Service Margin – Defined as Average RMR per subscriber less Net Service Costs divided by Average RMR per subscriber

Steady State Free Cash Flow (“SSFCF”) – Provides an estimate of the cash flow of a company, if it were to invest in new RMR only to the extent

required to replace attrition. SSFCF is defined as LQA Adjusted EBITDA less cost to replace RMR attrited, plus an add-back for pro forma G&A

expenses. Cost to replace RMR attrited is calculated by multiplying RMR by the attrition rate in steady state by the Net Creation Cost Multiple
