Total revenue decreased by $19.5 million, or 16%, to $99.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $118.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a $21.5 million decrease in revenue related to our Smart Apartments solution. The decrease in revenue resulted primarily from a 49% decrease in New Units Deployed to 52,179 units for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from 103,128 units for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and a 12% decrease in Units Shipped to 100,524 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from 114,175 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, partially offset by a 19% increase in the number of cumulative active subscriptions for our Hosted Services during 2024 compared to 2023. Overall decreases in New Units Deployed and Units Shipped are primarily due to our customers' decisions to defer capital expenditures, influenced by the current interest rate environment and broader macroeconomic conditions.

Hosted Services revenue increased by $5.4 million, or 18%, to $36.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from approximately $30.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Of the $36.0 million revenue in 2024, $24.7 million is related to SaaS revenue and $11.3 million is related to hub amortization. Revenue increased from hub amortization and SaaS by $0.6 million and $6.0 million, respectively, from the six months ended June 30, 2023 to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase of Hosted Services revenue resulted primarily from a 19% increase in the aggregate number of Units Deployed, primarily of our Smart Apartment solution, from 650,324 units at June 30, 2023 to 771,870 units at June 30, 2024 and an increase in SaaS ARPU of 6% to $5.53 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from $5.20 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

We generate revenue primarily from sales of smart home systems which enable property owners and property managers to have visibility and control over assets, while providing all-in-one home control offerings for residents. Currently, the majority of our revenue is generated from the direct sale to our customers of hardware smart home devices, which devices generally consist of a Hub Device, door-locks, thermostats, sensors, and light switches. We also generate professional services revenue from installing smart home hardware devices and hosted services revenue from monthly subscription revenue earned from the fees collected from customers to provide access to one or more of our software applications (“Hosted Services”) including access controls, asset monitoring, WiFi, and related services. Subscription arrangements have contractual terms ranging from one month to eight years; the majority of our recurring revenue contracts range from one month to one year and our median recurring revenue contract term is one year.

Our future growth depends in part on the continued consumer adoption of hardware and software products which improve the resident experience and the growth of this market. We need to deliver solutions that enhance the resident experience and deliver value to our customers, rental property owners and operators, as well as homebuilders and developers, by providing products and solutions designed to enhance visibility and control over assets while providing additional revenue opportunities.

We define Units Deployed as the aggregate number of Hub Devices that have been installed (including customer self-installations) and have an active subscription as of a stated measurement date. We utilize the Units Deployed metric to assess the health of our business and measure the trajectory of our growth. We define New Units Deployed as the aggregate number of Hub Devices that were installed (including customer self-installations) and resulted in a new active subscription during a stated measurement period. Although our revenue is primarily driven by New Units Deployed and the number of Units Deployed, due to the expansion of our products and services that don't require a Hub Device, and Hub Device upgrades that do not result in net new active subscriptions, the correlation between New Units Deployed and revenue is not as strong as it was historically. Although the correlation has decreased, New Units Deployed is still an indicator of our ability to acquire new customers and expand our relationships with our current customers. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, we had an aggregate of 749,401 and 602,556 Units Deployed, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we had 29,710 and 55,360 New Units Deployed, respectively.

The income tax expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss is primarily related to the foreign and state taxes offset by a change in the valuation allowance. We established a full valuation allowance for net deferred U.S. federal and state tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards. We expect to maintain this valuation allowance until it becomes more likely than not that the benefit of our federal and state deferred tax assets will be realized in future periods if we report taxable income. We believe that we have established an adequate allowance for our uncertain tax positions, although it can provide no assurance that the final outcome of these matters will not be materially different. To the extent that the final outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made.

Total revenue decreased by $14.6 million, or 22%, to $50.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, from $65.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a $15.4 million decrease in revenue related to our Smart Apartments solution. The decrease in revenue resulted primarily from a 46% decrease in New Units Deployed to 29,710 units for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from 55,360 units for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a 12% decrease in Hardware ARPU, and a 12% decrease in Units Shipped to 51,744 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from 58,659 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, partially offset by a 24% increase in the number of cumulative active subscriptions for our Hosted Services during 2024 compared to 2023.
