SmallCaps Spotlight: Intelligent Monitoring Group (IMB) on its £180m ADT UK deal

## What you’ll hear - Why the ADT UK residential acquisition is considered a “game changer” for IMB - The scale boost: ~$12.5m per month in additional recurring revenue and 160,000+ customers - The estimated ~300% EBITDA uplift and how it should flow through to earnings - Capital structure: avoiding dilution by funding via debt and vendor equity - Integration milestones across the first 6–12 months, including the path to UK growth - The longer-term thesis: shifting from in-premise protection to perimeter/guard-style security with ADT guard

## Episode highlights (from management) - **Transaction**: £180 million acquisition of **ADT’s UK residential security business** - **Recurring revenue impact**: **~A$12.5m per month** added from **160,000+ customers** - **Earnings power**: **~300% EBITDA uplift** to **~A$130m pro forma** - **EPS impact**: management expects the uplift to be **immediate post-settlement**, with reported numbers translating over the next year - **Balance sheet and dilution**: deal completed **without issuing additional external capital** and **without broad shareholder dilution** - **Operational plan**: - First **6 months**: transition functions (including **finance** and **HR**) to take the UK business out of JCI’s orbit - First year goal: return the UK business to **system-like growth (~6–8% p.a.)** - Multi-year ambition: grow faster than the market by expanding services and **perimeter-focused security** (“ADT guard”)

## Key questions for investors - Can IMB translate its Australasian technology and playbook into the UK at scale? - What will customer retention and upsell look like after integration? - Will the anticipated EBITDA uplift convert cleanly to **cash flow** over time? - How quickly can the UK business shift from legacy growth rates to management’s targeted growth profile?
