TELUS agreed to acquire ADT Security Services Canada from ADT, the number one smart home security provider serving residential and business customers, to TELUS for approximately C$700m in cash, subject to certain adjustments. The transaction comprises all of ADT Canada’s operations and assets. “Opportunities continue to develop for ADT in the areas of smart home integration, the expansion of the home security business into new demographics and ADT’s growth in commercial security. The sale of our more capital intensive Canadian operations enables us to sharpen our focus on the exciting growth and higher margin opportunities in the US, where we can more efficiently invest our time and resources. Importantly, these emerging opportunities are ideal for leveraging the trusted ADT brand as we continue generating strong free cash flow to drive shareholder value over the long term.” Jim DeVries, ADT President and CEO.
