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 Amendment No. 1 on

Form 10K/A to the Company’s annual report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2014, 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 home automation industry, including risks of and publicity

surrounding the sales, subscriber origination and retention process; (2) the highly competitive nature of the security and home automation 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 home automation 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 annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended

December 31, 2014 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 that Adjusted

EBITDA provides useful information about flexibility 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.

certain definitionsTotal Subscribers – The aggregate number of active 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 subscribers during a period divided by the monthly weighted average number of total 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 (120 days 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
