Shares of ADT were lower after the company logged lower a fourth-quarter profit and said it expects profit and revenue to be flat for the year.

The stock slipped 5.4%, to $7.59, in premarket trading Monday. Through Friday's close, shares are up 4.3% over the past year.

ADT, which provides security, interactive and smart-home solutions, before the bell posted a profit of $145 million, or 17 cents a share, down from $190 million, or 20 cents a share, a year earlier.

Stripping out one-time items, earnings were 23 cents a share. Analysts polled by FactSet had expected adjusted earnings of 22 cents a share.

Revenue ticked up 1.3% to $1.28 billion, just below the $1.3 billion that Wall Street had modeled.

Looking ahead for the year, ADT guided for revenue and adjusted per-share earnings to be approximately flat. Analysts are looking for revenue of $5.32 billion, a 3.6% increase from last year, and adjusted earnings of 92 cents a share, up 3.4% from a year earlier.

Longer term, the company said it is targeting a 5% annual compounded growth rate for revenue and a 10% annual compounded growth rate for adjusted earnings, reflecting its growth initiatives and near-term investments in product technology, customer service and acquisition efficiency.
