Risks Related to Our Business

Current report

Investment in new business strategies, partnerships and acquisitions could fail to produce the expected results, disrupt our ongoing business, present risks not originally contemplated and materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

Current report

We have invested, and in the future may invest, in new business strategies, partnerships or acquisitions. Such endeavors may involve significant risks and uncertainties, including distraction of management from current operations, the potential for greater-than-expected liabilities and expenses, economic, political, legal and regulatory challenges associated with implementing new business strategies, operating in new regions or countries, inadequate return on capital, potential impairment of tangible and intangible assets, and significant write-offs. Investment, partnership and acquisition transactions are exposed to additional risks, including failing to obtain required regulatory approvals on a timely basis or at all, or the imposition of onerous conditions or other factors that could delay or prevent us from completing a transaction or otherwise limit our ability to fully realize the anticipated benefits of a transaction. New ventures are inherently risky and may not be successful. For example, in November 2024, we entered into a technology exclusivity and revenue sharing agreement with Hubble (the “Hubble Agreement”), under which we became the exclusive consumer application of their satellite Bluetooth technology. We intend to connect the Company’s Tile Bluetooth trackers with Hubble’s satellites to create a global location-tracking network. However, our inability to realize the anticipated benefits of our transactions with Hubble could have a material adverse effect on our growth prospects and expectations. In addition, in November 2025, we agreed to acquire Nativo, Inc. The acquisition intends to accelerate the Company’s advertising roadmap and intends to position the company to scale a full-funnel ads platform. The failure of any significant investment or business strategy, opportunity, partnership or acquisition could materially adversely affect our business, growth prospects, expectations. reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

Current report

Changes to our existing brands, products and services, or the introduction of new brands, products or services, could fail to attract or retain members or generate revenue and profits.

Current report

Our ability to retain, increase, and engage our member base and to increase our revenue depends heavily on our ability to continue to evolve our existing brands, products and services, as well as to acquire or create successful new ones, both independently and in conjunction with developers or other third parties. We may introduce significant changes to our existing brands, products and services, or acquire new and unproven brands, products, services and product and services extensions, including technologies with which we have little or no prior development or operating experience. We have also invested, and expect to continue to invest, significant resources in growing our subscription-based services to support increasing usage as well as new lines of business, products, services, product extensions and other initiatives to generate revenue. Developing new products and services is expensive and can require substantial management and Company resources and attention and investing in the development and launch of new products and services can involve an extended period of time before a return on investment is achieved, if at all. An important element of our business strategy is to continue to make investments in innovation and related product and services opportunities to maintain our competitive position. Unanticipated problems in developing products and services could also divert substantial research and development resources, which may impair our ability to develop new products and services or enhance existing products and services, and substantially increase our costs. We may not receive revenues from these investments for several years and may not realize returns from such investments at all.

Current report

There is no guarantee that investing in new lines of business, products, services, product and services extensions or other initiatives to show our community meaningful opportunities to facilitate family safety or location, driving and family coordination will succeed, that members will like the changes or that we will be able to implement such new lines of business, products, services, product and services extensions or other initiatives effectively or on a timely basis, which may negatively affect our brands. Our new or enhanced brands, products, services or product and services extensions may provide temporary increases in engagement but may ultimately fail to engage members, marketers, or developers, we may fail to attract or retain members or to generate sufficient revenue, operating margin, or other value to justify our investments, and our business may be materially adversely affected.

Current report

The development of our products and services is complex and costly, and we typically have several products and services in development at the same time. Given the complexity, we occasionally have experienced, and could experience in the future, delays in the development and introduction of new and enhanced products and services. Problems in the design or quality of our products or services may also have an adverse effect on our brand, business, financial condition or results of operations. Unanticipated problems in developing products and services could also divert substantial resources, including but not limited to research and development, which may impair our ability to develop new products and services and enhancements of existing products and services, and could substantially increase our costs. For example, as we continue to expand our hardware offerings, including connected devices such as our recently launched pet tracker, we may be exposed to additional risks relating to product performance, quality, safety, or reliability. These devices may contain defects, experience performance issues, or fail to operate as intended. These may result from the design or manufacture of the product, or from the software or other components used in the product. Such issues could result in property damage, personal or pet injury, product returns, warranty claims, or product recalls. Any such issues, or the perception that our products are unsafe or unreliable, could damage our brand, lead to product liability claims or regulatory investigations, and require us to incur significant costs or expenses. Our insurance coverage may not fully protect us against all potential liabilities, and any resulting claims or adverse publicity could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. If new or enhanced product and service introductions are delayed or not successful, we may not be able to achieve an acceptable return, if any, on our research and development efforts, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Risks Related to Legal Matters and Our Regulatory Environment

Previous report

Changes in laws regulating subscription and auto-payment renewals may be unfavorable, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

Previous report

We are subject to certain federal and state laws that govern the ability of members to cancel subscriptions and auto-payment renewals. These laws require companies to adhere to various consent, notice, disclosure and cancellation requirements when entering into automatically renewing contracts with subscription customers. As this area of the law evolves, we are committed to reviewing and amending our practices accordingly. Regulators and plaintiffs have brought enforcement and litigation actions challenging automatic renewal and subscription programs. Any failure, or perceived failure, by the Company to comply with any of these laws or regulations could result in damage to our reputation, lost business, and proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, which could impact our operating results.

Previous report

We are a U.S.-based multinational company subject to tax in multiple U.S. and foreign tax jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our global provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets or liabilities and in evaluating our tax positions on a worldwide basis. While we believe our tax positions are consistent with the tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we conduct our business, it is possible that these positions may be challenged by jurisdictional tax authorities, which may have a significant impact on our global provision for income taxes.

Previous report

Tax laws are being re-examined and evaluated globally. New laws and interpretations of the law are taken into account for financial statement purposes in the quarter or year that they become applicable. Tax authorities are increasingly scrutinizing the tax positions of companies. Many countries in the European Union, as well as a number of other countries and organizations, such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) and the European Commission, are actively considering changes to existing tax laws that, if enacted, could increase our tax obligations in countries where we do business. These proposals include changes to the existing framework to calculate income tax, as well as proposals to change or impose new types of non-income taxes, including taxes based on a percentage of revenue. For example, several countries in the European Union have proposed or enacted taxes applicable to digital services, which includes business activities on social media platforms and online marketplaces, and would likely apply to our business. Many questions remain about the enactment, form and application of these digital services taxes. The interpretation and implementation of the various digital services taxes (especially if there is inconsistency in the application of these taxes across tax jurisdictions) could have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, more than 140 countries agreed to enact the Pillar II global minimum tax. While the OECD issued a framework model, each country will enact its own laws to incorporate Pillar II. While Pillar II is a global model, the country by country enactment of different laws to incorporate the framework is complex and there is uncertainty as to how the enactment of these laws will impact us. These changes could increase our total tax burden in the future. Moreover, the U.S. government may enact significant changes to the taxation of business entities including, among others, the imposition of minimum taxes or surtaxes on certain types of income (such as the United States Inflation Reduction Act which, among other changes, introduced a 15% corporate minimum tax on certain United States corporations and a 1% excise tax on certain stock redemptions by the United States corporations).

Previous report

In July 2025, the U.S. enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which made additional significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1987, as amended. Among other provisions, the OBBBA restored the immediate deductibility of domestic research and experimental (“R&E”) expenditures for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, while retaining the requirement to capitalize and amortize foreign R&E expenditures. The OBBBA also introduced other complex tax provisions, including changes to provisions relating to income from non-U.S. subsidiaries. Although the full impact of the OBBBA will depend on future regulatory guidance and implementation, these changes may materially affect our effective tax rate, deferred tax balances, and cash taxes.

Previous report

We continue to evaluate the impacts of these and other recent tax law changes on our business. Changes in or interpretations under the OBBBA or other existing or future tax legislation may increase our tax liabilities or compliance costs. Furthermore, future guidance from the IRS and other tax authorities, or judicial decisions interpreting these laws, could materially impact our provision for income taxes. Additionally, if the U.S. or other foreign tax authorities change applicable tax laws or practices, our overall taxes could increase, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness

Previous report

Servicing our debt requires a significant amount of cash, and we may not have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our substantial debt. Our indebtedness and liabilities could limit the cash flow available for our operations, expose us to risks that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and impair our ability to satisfy our obligations under our 0.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “June 2025 Convertible Notes”).

Previous report

As of June 30, 2025, we had outstanding indebtedness with a principal amount of $320.0 million. We may also incur additional indebtedness. Our indebtedness could have significant negative consequences for our security holders and our business, results of operations and financial condition by, among other things:

Previous report

•limiting our ability to obtain additional financing;

Previous report

•diluting the interests of our existing stockholders as a result of issuing shares of our common stock upon conversion of the June 2025 Convertible Notes; and

Previous report

Before March 1, 2030, holders of our June 2025 Convertible Notes will have the right to convert their June 2025 Convertible Notes only upon the occurrence of certain events. From and after March 1, 2030, noteholders may convert their June 2025 Convertible Notes at any time at their election until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately before the maturity date. However, many of the conditions that permit the conversion of the June 2025 Convertible Notes before March 1, 2030 are beyond our control. We could be required to expend a significant amount of cash to settle conversions, which could significantly harm our financial position and liquidity.

Previous report

Our business may not generate sufficient funds, and we may otherwise be unable to maintain sufficient cash reserves, to pay amounts due under our indebtedness, including the June 2025 Convertible Notes, and our cash needs may increase in the future. In addition, future indebtedness that we may incur may contain financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to operate our business, raise capital or make payments under our other indebtedness. If we fail to comply with these covenants or to make payments under our indebtedness when due, then we would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in that and our other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full.

Previous report

We may be unable to raise the funds necessary to repurchase the June 2025 Convertible Notes for cash following a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the June 2025 Convertible Notes) or to pay any cash amounts due upon maturity or conversion of the June 2025 Convertible Notes, and our other indebtedness may limit our ability to repurchase the June 2025 Convertible Notes or to pay any cash amounts due upon their maturity or conversion.

Previous report

Holders of the June 2025 Convertible Notes may, subject to limited exceptions, require us to repurchase their June 2025 Convertible Notes following a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the June 2025 Convertible Notes) at a cash repurchase price generally equal to the principal amount of the June 2025 Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest or additional interest, if any. Upon maturity of the June 2025 Convertible Notes, we must pay their principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest in cash, unless they have been previously repurchased, redeemed or converted. In addition, all conversions of the June 2025 Convertible Notes will be settled partially or entirely in cash. We may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to repurchase the June 2025 Convertible Notes or pay any cash amounts due upon their maturity or conversion. In addition, applicable law, regulatory authorities and the agreements governing our other indebtedness may restrict our ability to repurchase the June 2025 Convertible Notes or to pay any cash amounts due upon their maturity or conversion, if any. Our failure to repurchase the June 2025 Convertible Notes or to pay any cash amounts due upon their maturity or conversion when required will constitute a default under the indenture governing the June 2025 Convertible Notes. A default under the indenture or the fundamental change itself could also lead to a default under agreements governing our other indebtedness, which may result in that other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full. We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy all amounts due under the other indebtedness and the June 2025 Convertible Notes, if any.

Previous report

The capped call transactions entered into in connection with the pricing of the June 2025 Convertible Notes may affect the value of our common stock.

Previous report

In connection with the pricing of the June 2025 Convertible Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain option counterparties. The capped call transactions are expected to generally reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon any conversion of the June 2025 Convertible Notes and/or offset any potential cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted June 2025 Convertible Notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap.

Previous report

In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates purchased shares of our common stock and/or entered into various derivative transactions with respect to our common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the June 2025 Convertible Notes.

Previous report

In addition, the option counterparties and/or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to our common stock and/or purchasing or selling our common stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the June 2025 Convertible Notes and prior to the maturity of the June 2025 Convertible Notes (and (x) are likely to do so during any observation period related to a conversion of the June 2025 Convertible Notes or following any repurchase of the June 2025 Convertible Notes by us in connection with any redemption or fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the June 2025 Convertible Notes) and (y) are likely to do so following any repurchase of the June 2025 Convertible Notes by us other than in connection with any redemption or fundamental change if we elect to unwind a corresponding portion of the capped call transactions in connection with such repurchase). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in the market price of our common stock.

Previous report

We are subject to counterparty risk with respect to the capped call transactions, and the capped call may not operate as planned.

Previous report

The option counterparties are, or are affiliates of, financial institutions, and we will be subject to the risk that any or all of them might default under the capped call transactions. Our exposure to the credit risk of the option counterparties will not be secured by any collateral. Global economic conditions have from time to time resulted in the actual or perceived failure or financial difficulties of many financial institutions. If an option counterparty becomes subject to insolvency proceedings, we will become an unsecured creditor in those proceedings with a claim equal to our exposure at that time under our transactions with that option counterparty. Our exposure will depend on many factors, but, generally, the increase in our exposure will be correlated with increases in the market price or the volatility of our common stock. In addition, upon a default by an option counterparty, we may suffer adverse tax consequences and more dilution than we currently anticipate with respect to our common stock. We can provide no assurances as to the financial stability or viability of any option counterparty.

Previous report

Provisions in the indenture governing the June 2025 Convertible Notes could delay or prevent an otherwise beneficial takeover of us.

Previous report

Certain provisions in the June 2025 Convertible Notes and the indenture governing the June 2025 Convertible Notes could make a third-party attempt to acquire us more difficult or expensive. For example, if a takeover constitutes a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the June 2025 Convertible Notes), then noteholders will have the right to require us to repurchase their June 2025 Convertible Notes for cash. In addition, if a takeover constitutes a make-whole fundamental change (as defined in the indenture governing the June 2025 Convertible Notes), then we may be required to temporarily increase the conversion rate. In either case, and in other cases, our obligations under the June 2025 Convertible Notes and the indenture governing the June 2025 Convertible Notes could increase the cost of acquiring us or otherwise discourage a third party from acquiring us or removing incumbent management, including in a transaction that noteholders or holders of our common stock may view as favorable.
