With the notable exception of @raymon68 this stock seems to get no love on SM. I've held for a while IRL and watched it grow and an impressive rate to the point where it now has 13% penetration of the US smartphone carrying population. It's financials are rapidly tilting towards profitability and with the huge number of people now using the app, opportunities for monetization seem everywhere...
I've always held back a little on the oft raised concern 'is this business simply going to become Apple's feature' but I think that risk is decreasing with time. It now seems more likely it will continue to be a standalone function and anecdotally I hear more and more people using the app. Tailwinds exist in the shittiness of the world unfortunately and people's desire to keep an eye on loved ones...
How to value such a business... I think they could easily be sitting on a 100mil net profit in 2029 which on a PE of 25 would see them 2.5 Bil. Funnily enough that discounts back roughly to 1.5 bil now which is where they sit... ?fairly valued?
Presumably the intent to list in the US is around access to capital… whilst that’s good in theory it leads me to wonder if there’s no plan for near term profitability… thoughts?
Impressive growth and whilst you’d like to see a business demonstrate profitability at this scale the trend is encouraging. I’m a bit lazy to work out exactly how they’re adjusting their ebitda etc but even their net loss is shrinking very quickly.

Life360 reports Q3 2023 results
• Total Q3’23 revenue of $78.6 million, a YoY increase of 38%, with core Life360 Subscription revenue1 of $50.6 million, up 50% YoY
• Annualized Monthly Revenue2 (AMR) of $259.1 million, up 41% YoY
• Q3’23 Net Loss of $6.5 million. Positive Adjusted EBITDA3 of $5.5 million, the third consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA; positive Operating Cash Flow (OCF) of $4.1 million, the second consecutive quarter of positive OCF
• Global Paying Circles up 17% YoY, with net quarterly subscriber additions of 118 thousand, Life360’s largest ever Q3 growth
• U.S. Average Revenue Per Paying Circle (ARPPC) of $146.30 increased 40% YoY reflecting the benefits of higher pricing
• Quarter-end cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $63.7 million, after the Q3’23 payment of $3.9 million associated with the Jiobit convertible notes
• CY23 guidance reiterated for more than 50% YoY growth for core Life360 subscription revenue and consolidated revenue of $300 million - $310 million. Guidance for Positive Adjusted EBITDA3 increased to $12 million - $16 million from $9 million - $14 million.
San Francisco area-based Life360, Inc. (Life360 or the Company) (ASX: 360) today reported unaudited financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Life360 Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Chris Hulls said: “Life360 has delivered an exceptional quarter with net subscriber additions of 118 thousand, a record for Q3, and just shy of our all-time record of 119 thousand in Q4’21, which was prior to our nearly 50% price increase, and benefited from the post-COVID reopening. The 17% year-on-year growth was underpinned by all-time record international subscriber additions, up 44% YoY. This impressive growth bodes well for the international rollout of our Triple Tier Membership offering which went live in the UK in early October, with Australia now planned for the first half of CY24. Early results of the UK rollout are in line with expectations, and will contribute to CY24 revenue growth as one in ten UK families already use Life360. Overall we have seen continued outperformance from predominantly English speaking countries (Canada, UK, and Australia) which in aggregate saw Paying Circles increase 52% YoY.
“Along with strong subscriber growth momentum, U.S. Subscription revenue saw the full impact of the April price increase for existing U.S. Android subscribers. U.S ARPPC increased 40% YoY and 4% QoQ. Global ARPPC increased 28% YoY and 1% QoQ.
“Global Monthly Active Users (MAU) increased 24% YoY to 58.4 million, a very strong result which built on the record growth delivered in Q3’22. The U.S. delivered our usual ‘Back to School’ seasonal uplift, increasing 21% YoY. We’re seeing accelerating growth rates in our most highly penetrated states, underpinning our confidence in the size of our Total Addressable Market (TAM), and we believe there is still significant headroom for future growth. International MAU growth of 30% reflects the success of our investment in the international user experience which is driving encouraging retention results.
“Tile Membership bundling is now at a point that we can be confident of its success. The retention gap between those who redeem a Tile versus those who do not continues to expand, and by Month 5 we are seeing a ~15% increase in relative retention (versus a ~10% improvement after Months 1 and 2). As this gap is widening over time, we are highly confident that this is a durable change. Beyond the retention benefit, our value proposition has now truly expanded to people, pets and things while we are simultaneously increasing net subscriber additions. This provides significant validation of the Tile acquisition, and the move to bundling hardware with Membership.
“In addition, GAAP hardware revenues increased 33% YoY inclusive of the bundling allocation, along with margin improvements. This equates to 21% growth in stand-alone (non-GAAP) hardware revenue. We are encouraged by this momentum, and have raised CY23 guidance for hardware revenue to increase 10% to 15% YoY, while recognizing that it remains subject to macro uncertainties, and the significant seasonality associated with the Q4 U.S. holiday period. CY23 subscription performance is skewed to the second half of the year with a resumption of strong subscriber growth following first half churn impacts from significant U.S. price increases.

"We continue to carefully balance expense management with investment in the significant long term growth opportunities available to us. Q3’23 positive Adjusted EBITDA of $5.5 million delivered a $14.9 million improvement YoY. Excluding commissions, operating expenses increased by $1.2 million or 2.4% YoY, compared with a $21.5 million or 38% uplift in revenue, demonstrating the operating leverage of Life360’s business model.
“Our balance sheet remains strong with cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents of $63.7 million at the end of Q3’23, after the $3.9 million repayment of convertible notes related to the Jiobit acquisition. We delivered positive Operating Cash flow of $4.1 million for Q3’23, in line with guidance. We continue to expect positive OCF for the remainder of CY23 despite planned investment in targeted growth initiatives, and expected timing differences in the remittance of payments from a platform provider which will result in 11 monthly receipts in CY23 rather than 12.
“Life360’s Q3’23 AMR of $259.1 million, up 41% YoY, provides a strong trajectory of growth leading into CY24.”

Monthly Active Users (MAU) (millions) Paying Circles (thousands)
• Global MAU increased 24% YoY to 58.4 million, with Q3’23 net additions of 4.4 million. U.S. MAU increased 21% YoY, with net adds of 1.8 million. International MAU were 30% higher YoY, with Q3’23 net adds of 2.6 million. Australian MAU increased 37% YoY to 1.7 million.
• Paying Circle growth accelerated in Q3’23 with global net subscriber additions of 118 thousand, the second highest quarterly growth on record. U.S. Paying Circles increased 10% YoY despite the effect of price increases implemented between Q3’22 and Q2’23. International Paying Circles maintained exceptionally strong momentum, up 44% YoY. Our U.S. Membership plan subscribers comprise Silver 15%, Gold 80% and Platinum 4% of total.
• Global ARPPC increased 28% YoY and 1% QoQ. The benefit from U.S. price increases implemented from Q3’22 saw U.S. ARPPC increase 40% YoY.
• Net Hardware Units Shipped (excluding bundling) increased 43% YoY, reflecting higher gross unit sales and lower returns from improved consumer electronics demand. Margins improved as a result of specific initiatives, even as Average Sale Price (ASP) reduced 15% YoY due to a mix shift in product, and a higher retail channel mix at a lower ASP. In addition there was a favorable return adjustment recorded in Q2’23.

• Life360 ended Q3’23 with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $63.7 million, with unrestricted cash decreasing by $0.6 million from Q2’23. Operating cash flow of $4.1 million was offset by $0.4 million used in investing activities and $4.2 million used in financing activities.
• Q3’23 net cash provided by operating activities of $4.1 million saw a differential to Adjusted EBITDA of $5.5 million due to timing of receipts, manufacturing payments, and higher sales due to the ‘Back to School’ seasonal uplift.
• Q3’23 net cash used in investing activities of $0.4 million related to payments for internally developed software.
• Q3’23 net cash used in financing activities of $4.2 million related to the repayment of the Jiobit convertible note and taxes paid for the net settlement of equity awards, offset by proceeds from the exercise of options.
Earnings Guidance7
For CY23, Life360 expects to deliver:
• Core Life360 subscription revenue growth in excess of 50% YoY;
• Hardware revenue growth of 10% to 15% (previously 0% to 5%);
• Other revenue of approximately $26 million;
• Consolidated revenue of $300 million - $310 million;
• Positive Adjusted EBITDA8 of $12 million - $16 million (previously $9 million - $14 million);
• Positive Operating Cash Flow of $0 million to $5 million, revised from $5 million - $10 million. This change is solely due to a timing difference, with no change to the OCF outlook; and
• Positive Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Flow for the remaining quarter of CY23.
For Q4’23 it should be noted that it is usual to see some pullback in subscriber momentum after strong waves of subscriber growth, especially in Q4, which (outside of the COVID reopening of 2021) is generally lower due to seasonality. While we are on track to hit all guidance metrics, there was likely some pull forward effect in Q3; along with natural churn and lower expected top of funnel, we expect fewer net adds in Q4 than in Q3 despite strong ongoing momentum across the business.
Looking ahead to CY24, while we will share guidance as part of our CY23 full year earnings announcement, we remain on track to continue to expand our Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Flow, while also lowering our EBITDA8 loss, with EBITDA breakeven expected in CY25. We continue to believe the right strategy for the business is to invest in growth, and we are taking a balanced approach that will allow us to deploy excess cash generated to make additional R&D and marketing investments, while simultaneously improving margins.
7 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.

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 US. 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 US. 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 US or to a US 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 US persons excluding QIBs. However, you are still able to freely transfer your CDIs on ASX to any person other than a US 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We collect and analyze operating and financial data to evaluate the health of our business, allocate our resources and assess our performance.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to total revenue, net loss and other results under GAAP, we utilize non-GAAP calculations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). EBITDA is defined as net loss, excluding (i) convertible notes and derivative liability fair value adjustments, (ii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) other income (expense), net. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss, excluding (i) convertible notes and derivative liability fair value adjustments, (ii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) other income (expense), net, (v) stock- based compensation, (vi) Form 10 transaction costs, (vii) acquisition and integration costs, (viii) non- recurring workplace restructuring costs, (ix) inventory write-offs, (x) adjustment in connection with membership benefit, (xi) non-recurring warehouse relocation costs and (xii) gain on revaluation of contingent consideration.
The above items are excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items are unpredictable, are not driven by core results of operations and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. 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.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

as referenced by @raymon68 life360 is trying hard to get to profitability. The eye catcher for me was that despite ‘restructuring’ I presume code for redundancies growth in revenue from core subscriptions increased by ~50% in Q4 2022 year! Impressive growth
ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 13 January 2023
Life360 announces further acceleration of Path to Profitability
• Continued strong CY22 Q4 momentum, especially in Membership, with core Life360 subscription revenue (excluding Tile and Jiobit) growth exceeding 54%, in line with guidance
• Confirmation of year end cash position meeting guidance, with cash balance of $90 million at 31 December 2022, adjusted for $32 million of net placement proceeds
• CY22 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA expected to meet lower end of guidance
• Resumption of normalized growth and churn patterns since completion of iOS price
changes in mid-December
• Organizational restructure announced, bringing forward by a quarter positive
Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Flow to CY23 Q2
• Leaner organizational structure expected to streamline Life360’s ability to deliver on
core opportunities in CY23, including Tile bundling and international expansion
• CY23 total revenue growth currently expected in the range of 35% YoY. Positive Operating Cash Flow and positive Adjusted EBITDA1 is expected for the full year
CY23
San Francisco-based Life360, Inc. (Life360 or the Company) (ASX: 360) today confirms continued strong CY22 Q4 momentum, and announces an accelerated plan to achieve positive operating cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA.
The restructure will result in an approximately 14% reduction of the company's workforce. Cash restructuring charges primarily related to employee transition and severance costs are estimated to be approximately $4 million, and will primarily be incurred in CY23 Q1. The reduction in headcount is expected to result in annualized cost savings in excess of $15 million. This restructure will streamline Life360’s ability to deliver on core opportunities in CY23 including Tile bundling and a focus on international expansion starting with the launch of the full membership offering in the UK market anticipated in CY23 H2.
Life360 CEO and Co-Founder Chris Hulls said: “We stated in our recent CY22 Q3 earnings announcement that, in response to current market conditions, we were accelerating our path to profitability; the restructure that we are announcing today will enable us to bring forward by a quarter the achievement of positive operating cash flow and Adjusted EBITDA to CY23 Q2. Today’s restructuring is designed to benefit the most important areas of our business – our product enhancements continue to deliver very strong growth from new and existing members. We believe these changes will also enable us to realize additional business efficiencies and reduced operating expenses.

Note: all references to $ are to US$
A workforce restructure announced today, and implemented following completion of the full operational merger of Jiobit, Tile and Life360 in CY22, enables the streamlining of operations of the consolidated business units to drive lower operating expenses, and a sharpened focus on the Company‘s key strategic product initiatives to enhance our leadership in family safety and security. Together with continuing strong subscription revenues, the restructure is expected to deliver positive Operating Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA from CY23 Q2, a quarter earlier than previously announced, with positive Operating Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA for full year CY23.
“Life360 ended CY22 strongly, with Global MAU of 48.6m, up 37% YoY, together with a significant uplift in post-Christmas registrations. Total Paying Circles of 1.5m were in line with our previous guidance despite the significant price increases implemented during Q4, with churn levels in line with management's expectations, further demonstrating the resilience of our subscriber base. Pleasingly, we have seen a resumption of normalized growth and churn since the completion of iOS price changes in mid-December. Core Life360 subscription revenue (excluding Tile and Jiobit) growth exceeded 54%, in line with guidance. While hardware revenues stabilized with some encouraging trends in online sales and re-ordering, they remained impacted by retail head winds, including a significant destocking of sales channels resulting in lower orders through most of Q4. We see these historically low inventory levels as an opportunity as we move into the CY23 sales cycle. Management’s expectations are that both Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA will be in the lower end range of previously issued guidance.
“Restricted and unrestricted cash balance at 31 December 2022 was $90 million – in line with previous guidance of $55-60 million, adjusted for the net funds received from the Q4 capital raise (net of cost) of $32 million.”
Mr Hulls concluded “We are moving into 2023 in a very strong position to pursue our global growth agenda, with significant upside opportunity from the launch of the bundled hardware subscription in Q1, a strong balance sheet and an accelerated trajectory to profitability.”
Life360 will provide further information on its CY22 performance with the full reporting of CY22 results on 17 March 2023 AEDT (16 March PT). Full CY23 guidance will be provided at that time; however due to strong operating momentum the Company currently expects CY23 total revenue growth in the range of 35% (higher excluding hardware). Additionally, we expect positive Operating Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA for the CY23 year.

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 US. 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 US. 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 US or to a US 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 US persons excluding QIBs. However, you are still able to freely transfer your CDIs on ASX to any person other than a US 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.

In regards 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 gain on revaluation of contingent consideration.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We collect and analyze operating and financial data to evaluate the health of our business, allocate our resources and assess our performance.
In addition to total revenue, Net Loss and other results under GAAP, we utilize non-GAAP calculations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"). EBITDA is defined as Net Loss, excluding (i) convertible notes and derivative liability fair value adjustments, (ii) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) other income (expense). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net Loss, excluding (i) convertible notes and derivative liability fair value adjustments, (ii) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) other income (expense), (v) stock-based compensation, (vi) costs related to filing our Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on June 13, 2022 and Amendment No. 2 filed on July 5, 2022, and effective as of June 27, 2022 ("Form 10"), (vii) acquisition and integration costs, and (viii) gain on revaluation of contingent consideration. In 2023, we also expect Adjusted EBITDA to exclude the costs associated with the restructure described above.
The above items are excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items are unpredictable, are not driven by core results of operations and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 disclose EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. 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.

Life360 reports Q3 2022 results
• Largest ever quarterly growth in Global Monthly Active Users (MAU) of more than 5 million, up 39% YoY, with record net additions in both the U.S. and International markets
• Q3 consolidated revenue growth of 92% to $57.2 million, with Q3 Paying Circles up 36% YoY
• October 2022 Average Revenue Per Paying Circle (ARPPC) up 47% YoY for new U.S. subscribers, reflecting early benefits of higher pricing
• Anticipated CY22 year-end Annualized Monthly Revenue1 (AMR) (excluding hardware) of more than $215 million, up >50% YoY
• Quarter-end cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $58.9 million, including financing related cash outflows of approximately $4 million
• Strong revenue growth from the price increase, and lower than expected initial churn, along with prudent financial management, result in acceleration of our targeted positive Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Flow to CY23 Q3 versus prior guidance of CY23 Q4
San Francisco-based Life360, Inc. (Life360 or the Company) (ASX: 360) today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 (unaudited).
Life360 Chief Executive Officer Chris Hulls said: “We had an exceptionally strong Q3 back-to-school period, with our largest ever quarterly MAU growth both internationally and in the U.S. Additionally, AMR of $184 million is up 53% year-on-year, and we finished the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $58.9 million. We delivered more than 100 thousand net Paying Circle additions in Q3 despite our price increase of almost 50% for new U.S. monthly subscribers, which took full effect in August, and is currently being implemented for existing iOS monthly subscribers, with full effect in December. This performance, together with lower than expected churn, is testament to the value we provide to our subscribers and sets us up for very strong recurring revenue growth in CY23.
“Tile’s Q3 hardware unit sales were in line with expectations, and improved versus Q2, which saw the impact of returns undertaken to right-size channel inventory and exit less profitable channels. However, we currently see headwinds in the U.S. consumer electronics market with major retailers taking a very cautious approach and significantly reducing targeted weeks of inventory for current orders into the holiday period. While this will likely result in Q4 hardware sales being below our previous forecasts, the impact on our CY22 Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow are expected to be much more limited due to continued strong momentum in Membership, disciplined cost control, and our prudent approach to hardware inventory. We expect to exit CY22 with AMR (excluding hardware) in excess of $215 million, a growth rate in excess of 50%.
“Looking forward to CY23, we believe we have very strong Membership revenue momentum due to our successful price increase, which lifted U.S. ARPPC by more than 47% year-on-year in October for new U.S. Membership subscribers. At the end of Q3, less than 10% of U.S. subscribers were on the new pricing tiers, providing significant ARPPC upside as higher pricing takes effect for all existing monthly iOS subscribers. While Q4 net adds will likely be flat due to the expected one-time increase in churn by existing subscribers, to date churn is well within our target parameter of a 10% reduction in retention. Importantly, we expect significant improvement in paid user conversion and retention from the full integration of hardware bundling, which is on track for early CY23 Q1 as the third phase of our integration plan. The initial integration phases included bundling via promotions, delivering the up to 10x expansion in the size of the Tile Finding Network and Tiles now visible on the Life360 map in the U.S., with international rollout to be completed in CY23 Q1.
“The benefits of bundling, together with our higher price points, give us the confidence to bring forward by a quarter our target for consistently positive Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash flow to CY23 Q3. This expectation takes into account turbulence in the macroeconomic environment, with current strong headwinds in standalone hardware retail, and incorporates an appropriate balance of fiscal responsibility with prudent investment, to leverage the many exciting growth opportunities that are available to us. We’re also encouraged by the steady progress we are making in driving efficiencies from integration, and controlling costs even in the face of increasing inflationary pressures, while maintaining our focus on the core customer experience.”

Monthly Active Users (MAU) (millions) Paying Circles (thousands)
• Global MAU increased 39% YoY to 47.0 million, with record net additions in both the U.S. and International markets. U.S. MAU increased 32% YoY, with International delivering a 52% uplift due to ongoing strong growth in developed markets and surges in new users in Philippines and Japan.
• Paying Circles delivered continued strong momentum - up 36% YoY - with net additions of 100 thousand. U.S. net adds held up strongly despite a significant price increase for new members introduced in August. International quarterly net adds were at record levels with nominal marketing spend.
• U.S. Paying Circles increased 32% YoY, with cumulative new and upsell subscribers in the Membership plans of 813 thousand, up 80% YoY, comprising Silver 10%, Gold 85% and Platinum 6%. Membership now makes up 68% of U.S. Paying Circles.
• Average Revenue per Paying Circle delivered ongoing momentum, lifting 7% year-over-year. U.S. growth of 10% was somewhat offset by currency impacts on International subscriptions.
• Net Hardware units reduced YoY reflecting the backdrop of weaker consumer electronics category demand, while increasing versus Q2 which saw the impact of returns undertaken to right-size channel inventory, and exit less profitable sales channels. Actions undertaken in CY22 to optimize hardware inventory management mean we will be entering CY23 with appropriate inventory levels on hand for planned CY23 bundling, and in retail channels.

Specific initiatives have been successfully implemented in several areas, including consistent improvement in the unit economics of cloud computing costs.

Earnings Guidance6
As a result of our price increase, we expect to exit CY22 with significantly higher than previously anticipated AMR and ARPPC. The price increase is also expected to drive a one-time increase in churn that will result in largely flat net subscriber additions in Q4, ahead of subscriber growth resuming in CY23 Q1. While our guidance for continued strong subscription revenue performance is unchanged, our consolidated revenue expectations are lower due to continuing headwinds in the stand-alone hardware business. We will not have high levels of visibility on hardware revenues until after the traditional “Black Friday” holiday sales period in the U.S.
We remain very confident in our ability to use Tile devices to drive Membership in CY23 and beyond, and note that the strong momentum in our Membership business will likely mean that stand-alone hardware sales will continue to reduce as a proportion of group revenue in future years.
For CY22 Life360 expects to deliver:
• Core Life360 subscription revenue (excluding Tile and Jiobit) growth in excess of 55%;
• Consolidated revenue of $225-240 million for subscription (direct), hardware and other (indirect) revenue. The revenue range is highly dependent on Q4 stand-alone hardware performance;
• Adjusted EBITDA7 loss in the range of $(37)-(41) million.

Current CY22 Guidance
Previous CY22 Guidance Upper Lower
Life360 expects to finish CY22 with an Annualized Monthly Revenue (excluding hardware) of more than $215 million, noting this does not include any price changes for existing Android subscribers.
Year-end cash and cash equivalents are forecast in the range of $55-60 million, and we expect Life360 to be on a trajectory to consistently positive Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Flow by CY23 Q3, such that we record positive Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Flow for CY24. This target is being brought forward by one quarter, reflecting the very strong momentum in our recurring Membership revenues, and assumes no improvement in the current headwinds impacting stand-alone hardware sales. Additionally, the substantial discretionary spending levers in the business mean we are confident in Life360’s ability to fund its future growth.

6 In regards 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 gain on revaluation of contingent consideration.

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 US. 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 US. 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 US or to a US 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 US persons excluding QIBs. However, you are still able to freely transfer your CDIs on ASX to any person other than a US 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.

Future performance and forward-looking statements
This announcement contains 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 can be about future events, including 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, its capital position, future growth and subscriber churn. 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. 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. While due care has been used in the preparation of forecast information, actual results may vary in a materially positive or negative manner. Forward-looking statements are provided as a general guide only and should not be relied on as an indication or guarantee of future performance. They 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. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include risks described in the Company’s ASX filings, Form 10 Registration Statement and subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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. This announcement should not be relied upon as a recommendation or forecast by Life360. Past performance information given in this document is given for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily a guide to future performance and no representation or warranty is made by any person as to the likelihood of achievement or reasonableness of any forward-looking statements, forecast financial information, future share price performance or any underlying assumptions. Nothing contained in this document nor any information made available to you is, or shall be relied upon as, a promise, representation, warranty or guarantee as to the past, present or the future performance of Life360.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We collect and analyze operating and financial data to evaluate the health of our business, allocate our resources and assess our performance.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
In addition to total revenue, Net Loss and other results under GAAP, we utilize non-GAAP calculations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”). EBITDA is defined as Net Loss, excluding (i) convertible notes and derivative liability fair value adjustments, (ii) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) other income (expense). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Net Loss, excluding (i) convertible notes and derivative liability fair value adjustments, (ii) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) other income (expense), (v) stock-based compensation, (vi) costs related to filing our Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on June 13, 2022 and Amendment No. 2 filed on July 5, 2022, and effective as of June 27, 2022 (“Form 10”), (vii) acquisition and integration costs, and (viii) gain on revaluation of contingent consideration.
The above items are excluded from EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because these items are non-cash in nature, or because the amount and timing of these items are unpredictable, are not driven by core results of operations and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful. We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. 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.
