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?
Uber joins the platform as a key partner, integrating with Life360's Landing Notifications to provide timely transportation options and launching targeted ads to parents of teens for Uber teen accounts. These accounts allow teens aged 13-17 to request their own rides and order food, all with parental supervision and essential safety features built into the experience.
To help bolster the growth of the Life360 Advertising Platform, the company has appointed Google veteran Brian McDevitt as its first-ever Vice President of Ad Sales and Strategy. McDevitt will focus on building, scaling, and running Life360's ad business globally.

Life360 Chief Financial Officer Russell Burke noted, “We continued to take meaningful steps on our path to profitability during the quarter, and our U.S. IPO enhanced our strategic flexibility.” Burke continued, “While costs from the U.S. IPO impacted our Net Loss versus the prior year, we achieved our seventh consecutive quarter of positive Adjusted EBITDA1 , and our fifth consecutive quarter of positive Operating Cash Flow.
Our commitment to balancing growth with expanding profitability was reflected in our Q2’24 results, as our total revenue reached $84.9 million and grew 20% YoY, while our total operating expenses increased 12% YoY.
We remain on track to reach our target of sustained positive EBITDA1 in 2025.”
San Francisco area-based Life360, Inc. (Life360 or the Company) (ASX: 360) today announced the launch of its initial public offering in the U.S. (the “Offering”) of 5,750,000 shares of its common stock.
Slide 3 Life360 met or exceeded all of the guidance metrics we provided to the market for 2023. Revenue growth of 33% to $304.5 million, benefited from continued strong momentum in our subscription business, with revenue increasing 44% year-on-year. At the same time, GAAP operating expenses increased just 4% YoY, and reduced 1% YoY when excluding variable sales commissions, reflecting a disciplined approach to cost.
The strong revenue growth combined with cost restraint ,underpinned a greater than $60 million yearon-year improvement in each of net loss, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to $(28.2) million, $(20.8) million and $20.6 million respectively. A similar $60 million improvement in operating cash flow delivered the first full year of positive cash flow of $7.5 million.

Rerview Life360 is a leading technology platform used to locate the people, pets and things that matter most to families. Life360 is creating a new category at the intersection of family, technology, and safety to help keep families connected and safe. The Company’s core offering, the Life360 mobile application, includes features that range from communications to driving safety and location sharing. The Life360 mobile application operates under a “freemium” model where its core offering is available to users at no charge, with three membership subscription options that are available but not required. Our platform recently entered a new era of location tracking services with the successful acquisitions of Jiobit and Tile. By offering devices and integrated software to members, we have expanded our addressable market to provide members of all ages with a vertically integrated, cross-platform solution of scale. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, Life360 generated: • Total revenues of $304.5 million and $228.3 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 33%; • Subscription revenues of $220.8 million and $153.3 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 44%; • Hardware revenues of $58.2 million and $47.9 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 21%; • Other revenues of $25.5 million and $27.1 million, respectively, representing year-over-year decline of 6%; • Gross profit of $222.6 million and $148.6 million, respectively, representing year-over-year growth of 50%; and • Net loss of $28.2 million and $91.6 million, respectively. Key Factors Affecting Our Performance As we focus on growing our customers and revenue, and achieving profitability while investing for the future and managing risk, expenses and capital, the following factors and others identified in the section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K titled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” have been important to our business and we expect them to impact our operations in future periods: Ability to Retain Trusted Brand. We strongly believe in our vision to become the indispensable safety membership for families, with a suite of safety services that span every life stage of the family. Our business model and future success are dependent on the value and reputation of the Life360, Jiobit and Tile brands. Our brand is trusted by approximately 61 million members as of December 31, 2023, and because we know the value of trust is immeasurable, we will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that we provide useful, reliable, trustworthy and innovative products and services. Attract, Retain and Convert Members. Our business model is based on attracting new members to our platform, converting free members to subscribers, and retaining and expanding subscriptions over time. Our continued success depends in part on our ability to offer compelling new products and features to our members, and to continue providing a quality user experience to convert and retain paying subscribers. We will also seek to increase brand awareness and customer adoption of our platform through various programs and digital and broad-scale advertising. Maintaining Efficient Member Acquisition. Our investment in developing effective services and devices creates an efficient member acquisition model which drives strong unit economics. Our member acquisition model is complemented by our word-of-mouth and freemium models. We accelerate our organic member acquisition with strategic and targeted paid marketing spend. We expect to continue to invest in product and marketing, while balancing growth with strong unit economics. As we continue to expand internationally, we may increase our targeted marketing investments.

SYDNEY--Life360 accelerated plans to sell customer access to third-party advertisers after trials showed no drop in the family safety app's user numbers or engagement, its chief executive said.
The trials indicated that customers viewed exposure to targeted advertising as part of a social contract in having Life360's product for free, Chief Executive Chris Hulls said Friday. Rolling out advertising involved less risk than expanding into new product areas, he told The Wall Street Journal.
Life360 expects revenue from advertising to users of the free version of its tracking and safety app to eventually match its income from subscriptions. The company, which reports in U.S. dollars, generated $200 million in core subscription revenue in 2023.
"Most of our focus to date has been monetizing by having people pay us directly, but 85% of our people don't pay us, and we want to demonstrate we can make money off of them," Hulls said.
Hulls said that Life360's audience is expanding as tech-savvy millennials, who typically have fewer objections to being tracked, have families. Life360 will still screen advertisers and not pitch ads at children on the app, he said.
"We'll just turn it off for very young kids, most likely under 13s in the U.S., that age range. We're going to be thoughtful. We're not going to have anyone advertising to our customers," Hulls said.
Life360, which allows users to see family members' locations and offers paid functions such as emergency service dispatch, has aspirations to widen its product suite further, Hulls said.
"We want to do fintech for kids like a debit card, we want eldercare products, we want special deals for our customers that aren't harvesting but are giving them extra value, we want to have a doc locker for your important documents; there's so many features we can build," he said.

For the 12 months ended 31 December, Life360 reported a 33% increase in revenue to US$305 million. This was in the middle of its guidance range of US$300 million to US$310 million.
A key driver of this growth was its core Life360 subscription revenue, which came in at US$200 million. This was up 52% year on year and ahead of guidance for a ~50% increase.

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.”

Our U.S. Membership plan subscribers comprise Silver 15%, Gold 80% and Platinum 4% of total.

• 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.

• 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.
8 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. For definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, a description of these non-GAAP measures’ use, and a reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Measures section below.

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 of Monday 13 March 2023, U.S. time, the Company has regained access to its funds in SVB accounts, and is transacting normally.
SVB It seems – again, we don’t know for sure – that SVB had a similar problem, but rather than being caught out on the availability of funding, like in the GFC, it was rising rates that may have been responsible.
Rising rates (yields) pushes down the value of long term, low-rate bonds. (If you bought a 10-year US Treasury at 2% in the past, no-one is going to buy it off you at face value because they can buy a newer bond at, say, 3% or 3.5%. That means your bonds are worth less.
So a lesson: Don't buy bonds especially when the rates increase ...move from low to high rate environment. Leave it to the experts...lol..

News SummaryDJ Life360 Looks Undervalued Ahead of 4Q Update:
15 Mar 2023 09:27:293 Views1827 ET - Life360 looks materially undervalued ahead of the family safety app provider's 4Q trading update, Goldman Sachs analysts say.
They reckon the stock has underperformed its ASX-listed tech peers despite high-frequency data points suggesting solid user growth and retention.
Price rises have helped momentum, they add.
They tell clients in a note that, with many key metrics already pre-reported, the market will likely focus on operating trends at the start of the new fiscal year and the annual outlook.
Detail on bundled product memberships and cashflow will also be sought, they add.
GS reiterates its buy rating on the stock and maintains a A$7.90 target price. Shares last traded at A$4.86. (stuart.condie@wsj.com; @StuartLCondie)
As of March 10, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $95.1 million, including $6.1 million in deposits with SVB, and $75.4 million in shares of money market mutual funds managed by Morgan Stanley, Blackrock and Western Asset, which are invested in short-term, AAArated U.S. Government Treasury and Government Agency securities. Although SVB acted as custodian of these accounts, the Company understands that these accounts were not co-mingled with SVB’s assets. As a result, the Company expects that the FDIC should act to liquidate the funds and disburse these amounts, or otherwise make the funds available, to the Company (subject to FDIC confirmation of customer ownership) in the near term, but timing has not been confirmed by the FDIC.
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

still growing Total MAU Quarterly : 35.5mill up to 38.3mill
Average Revenue per subscription growth - ok
Note that FY's align with calendar years for 360.
During October the 360 SP/Rev multiple was 11.3.
With the combined revenue from Jiobit & Tile Inc and given the similar growth profiles I would expect the same revenue multiple to apply post-acquisition.
Combined revenue US$214M and share dilution to 180M the CY22 SP is A$18.60 (allowing for current A% conversion).
Discount 10% for safety = $16.70.
A report published today discusses the sale of location data by Life360 to various data brokers.
From the article:
Life360, a popular family safety app used by 33 million people worldwide, has been marketed as a great way for parents to track their children’s movements using their cellphones. The Markup has learned, however, that the app is selling data on kids’ and families’ whereabouts to approximately a dozen data brokers who have sold data to virtually anyone who wants to buy it.
and:
...CEO Chris Hulls said in an emailed response to questions from The Markup. “We see data as an important part of our business model that allows us to keep the core Life360 services free for the majority of our users, including features that have improved driver safety and saved numerous lives.”
I don't hold, nor have I followed the company closely, but this seems to be an under reported aspect of the business.
Parents using the app to track their kids location are likely to be concerned about what data is being sold (rightly, in my opinion) and how it is used. The article notes Life360 discloses data sale in the privacy policy.
It may also damage the Tile brand (a recently announced acquisition) if Tile customers share similar privacy concerns.
Trading halt yesterday to announce the purchase of Tile Inc for A$280M (including incentives).
For anybody unfamiliar with Life360 a little background is helpful:
Life360 provides a mobile app platform for family messaging, location safety, driving safety, crash detection & emergency assistance etc. CY21 Revenue US$111M. Life360 is approaching cash flow breakeven and scaling rapidly.
At the CY2020 results release Life360 announced an acceleration strategy to broaden their market reach.
Since this time two key acquisitions have been announced:
1. Jiobit - Provider of wearable location devices with annualised revenue of US$11.7M. Think small children, pets, elderly relatives etc. (Terms include US$54.5M in 360 shares - including performance targets). This acquisition was completed in August 2021.
2. Tile Inc - Operates a global leading platform for finding 'everyday things'. Things like keys, wallet, passport etc. CY21 Revenue of US$103M. (Terms include US$205M funded by cap raise of 23.3M 360 shares at A$12 based on current A$ exchange rate).
Life360 have a Freemium model and offer premium memberships with additional functionality. The acquisitions appear highly complementary and clearly the intent is to drive membership growth in premium subscriptions. I think the combined offering is compelling.
Comments on Tile Inc acquisition:
1. YonY subscription growth >50% (similar to Life360)
2. YonY subscriber growth 26% (same as Life360)
3. Acquisition cost at 2xCY21 revenue (looks cheap)
4. Deal close by 1st QTR CY22 (so no impact on current CY21 financial year.
Life360 SP had been flat at or about A$9.50 for September & October and suddenly increased 40% during November prior to the Tile Inc announcement. A little suspicious to me.
DISC: I own IRL
Life 360,
This stock has some momentum.
Need to check the outlook.
Life360 App:
The Life360 App experience starts with families creating private Circles to share each other's current location, places visited, driving data and other activities performed throughout the day. Life360 notifies Circle members on location activity and offers direct messaging features to facilitate co-ordination for the family. Beyond helping with daily activities, Life360 protects families through safety-related features such as Help Alerts, Crash Detection, Crime Reports and Roadside Assistance. Customers can download the Life360 App for free and upgrade to one of two premium subscription offerings, being Life360 Plus and Driver Protect. These premium offerings provide access to safety and driving monitoring features.
Some revenue from the premium side of the app. Subscriptions.
No profits at the bottom line though,
