SAN FRANCISCO, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — San Francisco area-based Life360, Inc. (Life360 or the Company) (ASX: 360) today reported unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. Life360 Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Chris Hulls said: “Life360’s Q1’24 results showed continued momentum, with net Paying Circles additions nearly doubling to 96 thousand from 54 thousand in Q4’23, achieving a new first quarter record. In addition, our efforts in relation to both our free members and international expansion are paying off, with 4.9 million new Monthly Active Users (“MAUs”), also a new first quarter record. The market opportunity is on a global scale, and we believe we have significant headroom to grow as we expand to new regions, and launch new features that expand our relevance to different life stages. This momentum has continued so far in Q2’24 with the achievement of 32 thousand net Paying Circle additions during the month of April.
“We continue to make meaningful progress on our path to profitability, narrowing our Net Loss and delivering our sixth consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA1, and fourth consecutive quarter of positive Operating Cash Flow. Our commitment to balancing fiscal responsibility, with prudent investment to position the business for long-term success, is reflected in Q1’24 revenue growth of 15% YoY, while operating expenses increased just 3% YoY. This operating leverage demonstrates that we are on track to reach our target of sustained positive EBITDA1 in CY25.
“Last quarter we introduced a new advertising offering which is now live in production with U.S. members and early results are promising. We have completed the development work that allows for programmatic ads, and expect to be set up for direct sales at scale by the end of June. As expected, initial revenue from this new advertising offering in Q1’24 was minimal due to our measured approach; we anticipate more significant growth, although still a modest overall revenue contribution, in the second half of CY24, and substantial scaling in the coming years as we begin to leverage our extensive first-party location data to provide contextually relevant offers. We believe we are strongly positioned to serve ads to our members in a manner that is privacy-first and complementary to the user experience.
“In the context of indirect monetization, we are also excited to announce the signing of a non-binding letter of intent to partner with, and make a small investment in Hubble Network, Inc., a space technology company led by Life360 Co-founder, Board director and former CTO, Alex Haro. Hubble’s proprietary satellite technology enables two-way communication between ground-based Bluetooth devices, such as Tile, and its newly-launched satellite constellation. This potential partnership is intended to open another low effort, high margin revenue stream and would allow us to potentially monetize the latent demand for enterprise tracking services via Tile, a venture we had previously set aside to focus on consumer offerings. By integrating our Bluetooth finding network with Hubble’s satellite technology, we hope to be able to offer global tracking solutions for assets without relying on cellular connections. Additionally, this collaboration would position us to enhance the tracking capabilities of our consumer devices, potentially surpassing those offered by Google and Apple. While currently only two prototype satellites are operational, Hubble plans to launch a full constellation that will eventually provide global coverage. We believe our potential partnership with Hubble will lead the development of this combined phone and satellite network, primarily targeting enterprise applications such as tracking pallets on ships. Subject to execution of definitive documentation, we expect an initial launch of the network in early 2025 and no related revenue during 2024.”
Q1’24 Financial Highlights
Total Q1’24 revenue of $78.2 million, a YoY increase of 15%, with total subscription revenue of $61.6 million, up 19% YoY and Core subscription revenue (Non-GAAP)2 of $57.0 million, up 23% YoY.
Annualized Monthly Revenue (AMR) of $284.7 million, up 19% YoY.
Q1’24 Net Loss of $(9.8) million.
Positive Adjusted EBITDA1 of $4.3 million and EBITDA1 loss of $(4.1) million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.5 million and EBITDA of $(12.6) million, respectively, in Q1’23.
Positive Operating Cash Flow of $10.7 million, an improvement of $19.9 million from Q1’23.
Quarter-end cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $74.6 million, an increase of $3.9 million from Q4’23 despite significantly higher RSU settlement tax payments in the quarter, primarily due to the higher fair market value of issued stock.
Q1’24 Operating Highlights and CY24 Outlook
Q1’24 global MAU net adds of 4.9 million, a Q1 record, were up 31% YoY to approximately 66.4 million, with significant momentum, particularly in a seasonally lower period for MAU growth.
Q1’24 global Paying Circle net additions of 96 thousand were a Q1 record, up 21% YoY to 1.9 million, supported by improved conversion and retention.
Preliminary Average Revenue Per Paying Circle (“ARPPC”) benefits from the UK triple-tier membership launch in October 2023 and price increase for existing subscribers in January 2024. The Australia and New Zealand triple-tier membership launched in late April 2024, following a price increase for existing subscribers.
CY24 guidance maintained: Consolidated revenue of $365-$375 million; Adjusted EBITDA1 of $30 million – $35 million; EBITDA1 loss of $(8) million – $(13) million; year-end cash balance of $80 million – $90 million.

ANZ launch
Life360 launched the full triple-tier product offering to 100% of members in Australia and New Zealand in late April. Enhanced features for subscribers include breakdown assistance, emergency services dispatch with crash detection and digital safety for the whole family. Prices were increased for existing subscribers ahead of the launch which, combined with the pricing impact from the triple-tier introduction, is expected to result in a significant increase in ARPPC. To date the rollout has proceeded smoothly, with the expected impact of temporarily increased churn following the price increases. Details of the new Australian Membership plans can be found here and New Zealand Membership plans here. The media release announcing the launch can be found here.

Global MAU increased 31% YoY to 66.4 million, with Q1’24 net additions of 4.9 million. U.S. MAU increased 22% YoY, with Q1’24 net adds of 2.0 million. International MAU increased 44% YoY, with Q1’24 net adds of 2.9 million. ANZ MAU increased 36% YoY to 2.2 million.
Q1’24 global Paying Circle net additions of 96 thousand were a first quarter record, with a strong performance in both U.S. and international markets. U.S. Paying Circles increased 16% YoY on the back of both higher registrations and improved conversion and retention metrics.
International Paying Circles maintained strong momentum, up 39% YoY. UK Paying Circles increased 23% YoY, with a modest uptick in Q1’24 churn, as expected, due to the price increase to existing subscribers in January 2024. The UK triple-tier membership launch and price increase to existing subscribers helped drive 53% higher ARPPC in the first six months relative to the pre-launch baseline. These metrics are outperforming the Canada launch which at the same point achieved 31% ARPPC growth. ANZ achieved record quarterly net subscriber additions and a 47% YoY increase in Paying Circles.
Q1’24 global ARPPC increased 3% YoY. U.S. ARPPC increased 8% YoY, benefiting from price increases for existing U.S. Android subscribers in Q2’23. Q1’24 global ARPPC was stable QoQ with the positive impacts from price increases offset by the higher mix of international Paying Circles in lower priced territories.
Q1’24 net hardware units shipped was modestly down YoY for the standalone hardware business, and Average Selling Price was slightly lower YoY due to a higher mix of multi-pack units. Tile’s product refresh is on track for the Q4’24 holiday season.
March 2024 AMR increased 19% YoY, benefiting from accelerating subscription revenue momentum over the course of Q1’24.

Q1’24 total subscription revenue increased 19% YoY to $61.6 million. Q1’24 Hardware revenue increased 2% YoY to $10.2 million, with benefits from bundling, fewer discounts offered, and fewer returns, offsetting lower Average Selling Price and standalone units shipped. Q1’24 Other revenue of $6.5 million was in line with the prior period as the Company maintained its single aggregated data arrangement.
Non-GAAP Core Subscription Revenue
Core subscription revenue (Non-GAAP) is defined as subscription revenue derived from the Life360 mobile application, including all revenue related to bundled Life360 subscription and hardware offerings, and excluding non-core subscription revenue, which relates to other hardware related subscription offerings, for the reported period.

Q1’24 operating expenses increased 3% YoY, largely due to higher general and administrative costs primarily related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Excluding variable commissions, operating expenses were virtually unchanged YoY, despite the revenue increase of 15% YoY, reflecting cost reduction measures undertaken beginning in Q1’23, and the related efficiencies achieved across the business as we continue to demonstrate operating leverage.

Life360 ended Q1’24 with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $74.6 million, an increase of $3.9 million from Q4’23.
Q1’24 operating cash flow of $10.7 million was offset by $1.1 million used in investing activities related to payments for internally developed software, and $5.7 million used in financing activities related to taxes paid for the net settlement of equity awards, partially offset by proceeds from the exercise of options.
Q1’24 net cash provided by operating activities of $10.7 million was higher than Adjusted EBITDA of $4.3 million primarily due to timing of receipts and payables. See EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA section below for definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to facilitate analysis of our financial and business trends and for internal planning and forecasting purposes.
Non-GAAP financial measures include earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. EBITDA is defined as net loss, excluding (i) convertible notes and derivative liability fair value adjustments, (ii) provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) other income, net. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss, excluding (i) convertible notes and derivative liability fair value adjustments, (ii) provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) other income, net, (v) stock-based compensation, (vi) workplace restructuring costs, and (vii) inventory write-offs. These items are excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because they are non-cash in nature, because the amount and timing of these items are unpredictable, or because they are not driven by core results of operations and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful.
The following table presents a reconciliation of Net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

Earnings Guidance11
Life360 has maintained CY24 earnings guidance and expects to deliver the following metrics which include both the early revenue and set-up costs for the new advertising business:
Consolidated revenue of $365 million – $375 million, with Core subscription revenue (Non-GAAP)12 growth of at least 20% YoY;
Positive Adjusted EBITDA13 of $30 million – $35 million;
EBITDA13 loss of $(8) million to $(13) million;
Positive Operating Cash Flow for each quarter of CY24; and
Year-end cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $80 million – $90 million. The forecast includes the Q2’24 conversion into equity (rather than cash payment) of the remaining convertible notes originally issued in connection with the acquisition of Jiobit, amounting to $3.5 million, offset by expected higher outflows from RSU settlements.
The company expects to continue to be Adjusted EBITDA positive on a quarterly basis going forward, and to achieve positive EBITDA in the first half of CY25.

With respect to forward looking non-GAAP guidance, we are not able to reconcile the forward-looking non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA measure to the closest corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of certain significant items, which are fluid and unpredictable in nature. In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that may be confusing or misleading to investors. These items include, but are not limited to, litigation costs, convertible notes and derivative liability fair value adjustments, and gains/losses on revaluation of contingent consideration. These items may be material to our results calculated in accordance with GAAP. We are also not able to reconcile the forward-looking Core subscription revenue (Non-GAAP) measure to the closest corresponding GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict the economic impact of certain significant items which include, but are not limited to, the impact from bundled offerings, which can be unpredictable in nature. In addition, the Company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that may provide misleading results to investors. These items may be material to our results calculated in accordance with GAAP. |

Life360’s CDIs are issued in reliance on the exemption from registration contained in Regulation S of the US Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) for offers of securities which are made outside the U.S. Accordingly, the CDIs have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or the laws of any state or other jurisdiction in the U.S. As a result of relying on the Regulation S exemption, the CDIs are ‘restricted securities’ under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This means that you are unable to sell the CDIs into the U.S or to a U.S. person who is not a QIB for the foreseeable future except in very limited circumstances until after the end of the restricted period, unless the re-sale of the CDIs is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption is available. To enforce the above transfer restrictions, all CDIs issued bear a FOR Financial Product designation on the ASX. This designation restricts any CDIs from being sold on ASX to U.S. persons excluding QIBs. However, you are still able to freely transfer your CDIs on ASX to any person other than a U.S. person who is not a QIB. In addition, hedging transactions with regard to the CDIs may only be conducted in accordance with the Securities Act.
Forward-looking statementsThis announcement and the accompanying conference call contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Life360 intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements regarding Life360’s intentions, objectives, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events, including Life360’s expectations with respect to the financial and operating performance of its business, including subscription revenue, hardware revenue, advertising revenue, other revenue, consolidated revenue and ability to create new revenue streams, such as advertising; its strong position to deliver targeted advertising in a manner that is complementary to the user experience; Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA, and operating cash flow; its commitment to balance fiscal responsibility with prudent investment to position the business for long-term success; its capital position; future growth and market opportunity; plans to launch new features and products; the impact of past price increases and expansion of product offerings in the UK, Australia and New Zealand on future results of operations and subscriber churn; scaling its MAU base; the expected timing of Tile’s product refresh; its ability to establish a strategic partnership with Hubble; its ability to improve upon the finding capabilities of competitors and open its API to third parties; as well as Life360’s expectations of any changes to the information disclosed herein. The words “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “project”, “predict”, “will”, “forecast”, “estimate”, “likely”, “intend”, “outlook”, “should”, “could”, “may”, “target”, “plan” and other similar expressions can generally be used to identify forward-looking statements. Indications of, and guidance or outlook on, future earnings or financial position or performance are also forward-looking statements. Investors and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as they involve inherent risk and uncertainty (both general and specific) and should note that they are provided as a general guide only and should not be relied on as an indication or guarantee of future performance. There is a risk that such predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. Subject to any continuing obligations under applicable law, Life360 does not undertake any obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this announcement, to reflect any change in expectations in relation to any forward-looking statements or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements are based.
Although Life360 believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements and the assumptions upon which they are based are reasonable, Life360 can give no assurance that such expectations and assumptions will prove to be correct and, actual results may vary in a materially positive or negative manner. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainty, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are outside Life360’s control, and are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to change and may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. For example, there is a risk that Life360 will be unable to realize the potential benefits of the proposed collaboration with Hubble because (i) the letter of intent is non-binding and there are no assurances that Life360 will successfully negotiate and executive definitive documentation with Hubble on favorable terms or at all; (ii) if we fail to reach exclusive, definitive agreements with Hubble, our competitors could execute such agreements in lieu of or as well as us; (iii) a competitor of Life360 may gain access to Hubble’s technology, or develop or acquire rights to similar or better technology; (iv) our competitors may develop superior technology; (v) Hubble may not be successful in launching a sufficient number of satellites to provide coverage that is commercially beneficial to Life360; (vi) the functionality of this technology is not expected to be optimized until 2028 when the full expected constellation of satellites is in orbit; and (vii) Hubble’s technology may be unable to support Life360 products or a sufficiently large number of devices to make the Life360 partnership commercially beneficial. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include risks related to the preliminary nature of financial results, risks related to Life360’s business, market risks, Life360’s need for additional capital, and the risk that Life360’s products and services may not perform as expected, as described in greater detail under the heading “Risk Factors” in Life360’s ASX and SEC filings, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 29, 2024 and other reports filed with the SEC. To the maximum extent permitted by law, responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise is disclaimed.

Supplementary and Non-GAAP Financial Information
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP, however, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Core subscription revenue (Non-GAAP), and the other measures presented in the tables below provide useful information to investors and others in understanding and evaluating our results of operations, as well as providing useful measures for period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Moreover, we have included non-GAAP financial measures in this media release because they are key measurements used by our management team internally to make operating decisions, including those related to operating expenses, evaluate performance, and perform strategic planning and annual budgeting.
Our non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be used as substitutes for analysis of, or superior to, our operating results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, we do not consider our non-GAAP financial measures as superior to, or a substitute for, the equivalent measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. As such, you should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to other financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP, including various cash flow metrics, net loss and our other GAAP results.
Non-GAAP revenue consists of total revenue excluding the impacts of bundled Life360 subscription and hardware offerings to present the overall success of our standalone subscription and hardware offerings. Non-GAAP Subscription revenue is broken down into U.S. and international to present our expansion and penetration into new international markets. Non-GAAP cost of revenue is presented to understand subscription margin economically independent of hardware bundling and non-GAAP operating expenses are presented to understand operating efficiency. Non-GAAP cost of revenue and Non-GAAP operating expenses present direct and indirect expenses adjusted for non-recurring, non-cash expenses, such as stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, workplace restructuring costs, write-off of obsolete inventory, and convertible notes and derivative liability fair value adjustments. A reconciliation of GAAP financial information to Non-GAAP financial information for revenue, cost of revenue, gross margin, and operating expenses has been provided as supplementary information below.
