Source: 2008 SDM 100, SDM Magazine, May 2008 The table, above, presents aggregate figures for the SDM 100 group of companies, which are ranked by their recurring monthly revenue — an industry standard of valuation of a security monitoring business. Most of the SDM 100 firms are privately held. Submitting recurring monthly revenue is required for ranking; other figures are not required but mostly provided. Most firms — but not all — also reported their total annual revenue, number of subscribers, and installation volumes. Therefore, one should exercise caution in using this information to extrapolate industry totals or to benchmark. (See footnotes above for more detailed information.) 42 May 2008
