Monthly Active Users Reached Approximately 71 million for the Quarter
Paying Circles Reached Over 2 million with a Record for Global Net Additions
Total Revenue Grew 20% Year-Over-Year to $84.9 million
Guidance Upgraded for Total Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — San Francisco area-based Life360, Inc. (Life360 or the Company) (NASDAQ: LIF) (ASX: 360) today reported unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The Company achieved record quarterly results in Monthly Active Users (“MAUs”), Paying Circles, and Subscription Revenue. Life360 also successfully completed its initial public offering (IPO) in the United States and began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on June 6, 2024.
“Q2’24 was excellent for Life360, as we set new records in business and financial performance, and completed our U.S. IPO,” said Life360 Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Chris Hulls. “Our positive results in Q2’24 continued across our strategic growth priorities. First, we grew our free members base by 4.3 million MAUs and reached 70.6 million overall. Next, we increased net Paying Circles by 132 thousand in Q2’24 compared to the 96 thousand increase in Q1’24, a new quarterly record for global net additions. Our focus on international growth also contributed significantly to our performance, as we grew our international MAUs by 48% YoY and our international Paying Circles by 42% YoY. We believe that we are very early on in penetrating our global market opportunity, and that we have significant headroom to grow as we expand to new regions, and launch new safety, connection, and location features that make everyday family life better throughout all life stages.”
“We also continue to make excellent progress in creating new revenue streams from our existing member base,” continued Hulls. “Earlier this year, we launched a new advertising offering, which is now live for U.S. members, and available soon globally. Importantly, we are focused on providing our members with contextually relevant ads that enhance their user experience by leveraging our extensive first-party location data.” Hulls further elaborated, “Following the rapid development of our programmatic ad capability, and positive signals in early testing with both users and advertisers, we initiated our direct sales efforts in June. Revenue from our ad offering has continued to expand in Q2’24, and we have been actively engaging with multiple prospective large advertisers and potential partners which align well with our loyal user base of families. The recently expanded partnership agreement with our longtime partner Arity demonstrates traction from these efforts. We continue to expect a noticeable increase in revenue contribution from ads in the second half of 2024, as we build our ad sales, measurement and tech capabilities, and further enable our platform through service integrations like those in place with The Trade Desk, LiveRamp, PubMatic, and Google Ad Manager. We anticipate we can scale ad revenue substantially in the years ahead.”
“In August, we also expanded and extended our data partnership with Placer.ai, which creates opportunities for increased revenue both near and long term,” continued Hulls. “And we are moving through the finalization process of our relationship with Hubble,” said Hulls. “We remain excited about the long-term potential of their satellite-to-bluetooth technology combined with our location network.”
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.”
Q2’24 Financial Highlights
- Total Q2’24 revenue of $84.9 million, a YoY increase of 20%, with total subscription revenue of $65.7 million, up 25% YoY and Core subscription revenue2 of $60.2 million, up 25% YoY.
- Annualized Monthly Revenue (AMR) of $304.8 million, up 23% YoY.
- Q2’24 Net Loss of $(11.0) million, which includes IPO-related transaction costs of $5.8 million and a provision for income tax3 that was $5.2 million higher than in Q2’23. We expect 2024 income tax expense to be between $2.0 million to $4.0 million.
- Positive Adjusted EBITDA1 of $11.0 million and EBITDA1 loss of $(5.6) million compared to positive Adjusted EBITDA of $5.7 million and EBITDA loss of $(2.0) million, respectively, in Q2’23. The Q2’24 EBITDA loss includes the $5.8 million in IPO-related transaction costs.
- Positive Operating Cash Flow of $3.3 million, which includes the impact of IPO-related transaction costs of $5.8 million.
- Quarter-end cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $162.0 million, an increase of $87.4 million from Q1’24, which was primarily the result of net capital raised in the U.S. IPO and IPO-related transaction costs in the quarter.
Q2’24 Operating Highlights and 2024 Outlook
- Q2’24 global MAU net adds of 4.3 million were up 31% YoY to approximately 70.6 million, with significant momentum from organic growth.
- Q2’24 global Paying Circle net additions of 132 thousand were a Q2 record, up 25% YoY. Total Paying Circles reached 2.0 million, supported by improved conversion and retention.
- Average Revenue Per Paying Circle (“ARPPC”) increased nearly 6% YoY due mainly to impacts from price increases for existing Life360 Android subscribers that were completed by the end of Q2’23, as well as from the UK and ANZ Triple Tier memberships launched in October 2023 and April 2024, respectively.
- 2024 guidance updated: Consolidated revenue of $370–$378 million; Core subscription revenue2 growth of 25%+ YoY; positive Adjusted EBITDA1 of $36 million – $41 million; EBITDA1 loss of $(8) million – $(13) million; year-end cash balance of $150 million – $160 million.

The provision for income taxes for interim quarterly reporting periods is based on the Company’s estimates of the effective tax rates for the full fiscal year in accordance with ASC 740-270, Income Taxes, Interim Reporting. ASC 740-270-25-2 requires that an annual effective tax rate be determined and such annual effective rate be applied to year to date income/loss in interim periods. The effective tax rate in any quarter may be subject to fluctuations during the year as new information is obtained, which may positively or negatively affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including factors such as valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition or de-recognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax position, if any, and changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where the Company conducts business. |

- Global MAU increased 31% YoY to approximately 70.6 million, with Q2’24 net additions of 4.3 million. U.S. MAU increased 20% YoY, with Q2’24 net adds of 1.7 million. International MAU increased 48% YoY, with Q2’24 net adds of 2.6 million. ANZ MAU increased 35% YoY to 2.4 million.
- Q2’24 global Paying Circle net additions of 132 thousand were a new quarterly record, with strong performance in both U.S. and international markets. U.S. Paying Circles increased 19% YoY on the back of both higher registrations and improved conversion and retention metrics. International Paying Circles maintained strong momentum, up 42% YoY. UK Paying Circles increased 14% YoY and ANZ Paying Circles increased 36% YoY.
- Q2’24 global ARPPC increased 6% YoY. The uplift to global ARPPC due to price increases was tempered by a 14% increase in the weighting of international Paying Circles as a percentage of global Paying Circles, reflecting faster growth in international regions that have lower pricing relative to the U.S. Q2’24 U.S. ARPPC increased 8% YoY, benefiting from a full quarter impact of price increases for existing U.S. Android subscribers in Q2’23. Q2’24 international ARPPC increased 12% YoY with positive impacts from Triple Tier membership launches and legacy price increases in the UK and ANZ.
- Q2’24 net hardware units shipped were flat YoY for the standalone hardware business, and Average Selling Price was 1% higher YoY due to fewer discounts and promotions offered compared to the prior year. Tile’s product refresh remains on track for the Q4’24 holiday season.
- June 2024 AMR increased 23% YoY, benefiting from accelerating subscription revenue momentum over the course of Q2’24.

- Q2’24 total subscription revenue increased 25% YoY to $65.7 million despite the increased allocation of bundled revenue to hardware. Q2’24 Hardware revenue increased 3% YoY to $11.9 million, driven by the contribution from bundling and fewer discounts offered, along with relatively flat Average Selling Price and net hardware units shipped. Q2’24 Other revenue of $7.3 million was $0.8 million higher YoY due to a combination of a ramp-up of advertising revenue and incremental data revenue.
Core Subscription Revenue
- Core subscription revenue is defined as GAAP subscription revenue derived from the Life360 mobile application and excludes non-core subscription revenue, which we define as GAAP subscription revenue from other hardware related subscription offerings, for the reported period. Core subscription revenue represents revenue derived from and the overall success of our core product offering. Core subscription revenue increased 25% YoY primarily driven by a 25% YoY increase in Paying Circles and a 6% higher ARPPC, despite being offset by the impact of increased bundled offerings.14

- Sales and marketing costs increased 4% YoY, primarily due to an increase in commissions, in line with the 20% increase in subscriptions, offset by a decrease in paid user acquisition costs in Q2’24 due to prioritization of marketing investments in the second half of 2024 for back to school and the launch of a new Tile hardware product line.
- General and administrative expenses increased 17% YoY, primarily driven by ongoing public company compliance costs.

- Life360 ended Q2’24 with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $162.0 million, an increase of $87.4 million from Q1’24.
- Q2’24 operating cash flow of $3.3 million was offset by $1.2 million used in investing activities related to payments for internally developed software, while $85.4 million was provided in financing activities primarily related to $93.0 million from the U.S. IPO, partially offset by $7.8 million in taxes paid for the net settlement of equity awards.
- Q2’24 net cash provided by operating activities of $3.3 million was lower than Adjusted EBITDA of $11.0 million primarily due to $5.8 million in U.S. IPO-related transaction costs, which include secondary offering costs of $5.5 million, and 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. For more information, see the “Supplementary and Non-GAAP Financial Information” section below.
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) gain and loss on settlement of convertible notes and derivative liability (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization and (v) other income, net. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss, excluding (i) convertible notes and derivative liability fair value adjustments, (ii) gain and loss on settlement of convertible notes and derivative liability (iii) provision for income taxes, (iv) depreciation and amortization, (v) other income, net, (vi) stock-based compensation, (vii) IPO-related transaction costs, (viii) workplace restructuring costs, (ix) the write-off of obsolete inventory, and (x) the adjustment in connection with membership benefit. 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:

- Q2’24 delivered a positive Adjusted EBITDA contribution of $11.0 million versus $5.7 million in Q2’23 as a result of continued strong subscription revenue growth and improved operating leverage.
Earnings Guidance21
Life360 has updated its 2024 earnings guidance and expects to deliver the following metrics which include both the early revenue and set-up costs for the new advertising business, as well as an intentional reallocation of paid acquisition and other marketing costs from Q2’24 to Q3’24, resulting in a spend of approximately $6.0 million more than in Q2’24 related to back to school and the new product launch for Tile:
- Consolidated revenue of $370 million – $378 million (upgraded from $365 million – $370 million), with Core subscription revenue22 growth of 25%+ YoY (upgraded from 20%+ YoY);
- Includes anticipated additional revenue of $1-2 million from the extended Placer.ai partnership agreement;
- Positive Adjusted EBITDA23 of $36 million – $41 million (upgraded from $30 million – $35 million);
- EBITDA23 loss of $(8) million to $(13) million; including the $5.8 million in IPO-related transaction costs;
- Positive Operating Cash Flow for each quarter of 2024; and
- Year-end cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $150 million – $160 million. The forecast includes expected significantly higher outflows from RSU settlements, the anticipated investment in Hubble, IPO proceeds and related transaction costs, and timing variations in working capital in Q4’24 related to hardware inventory and the new product launch.
The company expects to continue to be Adjusted EBITDA positive on a quarterly basis going forward, to achieve positive EBITDA in Q4 due to usual seasonality, and to be consistently EBITDA positive on a quarterly basis in 2025.

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. |

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 and consolidated revenue and ability to create new revenue streams; the timing of the launch of advertising globally and its expectation that it can scale ad revenue substantially in the years ahead; its strong position to deliver targeted advertising in a manner that enhances the user experience by leveraging its extensive first-party location data; Adjusted EBITDA, EBITDA, and operating cash flow; 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; as well as Life360’s expectations of any changes to the information disclosed herein.

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.

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, 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 cost of revenue is presented to understand margin economically 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-cash expenses, such as stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and non-recurring expenses, such as workplace restructuring costs, U.S. IPO-related transaction costs, and the adjustment in connection with membership benefit. A reconciliation of GAAP financial information to Non-GAAP financial information for cost of revenue and operating expenses has been provided as supplementary information below.
