Divestitures

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

During the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell its ADT United Kingdom Residential Security business and determined that it met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The transaction is expected to close in fiscal 2027. The business did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation as the divestiture does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. As of June 30, 2026, $229 million of assets and $39 million of liabilities associated with the business were separately presented as held for sale in the consolidated statements of financial position.

Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are required to be recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. As of June 30, 2026, the estimated fair value less costs to sell of the held for sale business exceeded its carrying value, and therefore, no adjustment was necessary.
