Growth and Monetization of Advertising Offerings. Advertising represents an additional revenue opportunity for our business, and our ability to grow and effectively monetize our advertising offerings will impact our operating results. Our success in this area will depend on our ability to successfully integrate acquired technology, operations, and personnel, scale advertiser demand, maintain advertiser relationships, and balance monetization opportunities with a positive member experience. Advertising revenue may also be affected by macroeconomic conditions, changes in advertiser spending, competition, and evolving privacy and data protection regulations.

The Company measures certain non-marketable equity securities and warrant investments at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with ASC 321, Investment - Equity Securities. In April 2025, the SAFE investment in a related party (the “Related Party SAFE”) converted into shares of preferred stock (the “Related Party Investment”), as a result of an observable price change. Additionally, the Company measures and reports certain assets at fair value each reporting period. In May 2025, the Company entered into a series of transactions with Aura Consolidated Group, Inc. (“Aura”), which included a convertible note investment by the Company into Aura (“Convertible Note Investment”). The Company elected to apply the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825, Financial Instruments.

Current report

Hardware revenue decreased $5.8 million, or 10%, during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Although net hardware units shipped increased 7%, contributing to $6.3 million of revenue, this increase was more than offset by an $8.5 million increase in discounts and a $3.6 million reduction in revenue related to bundled offerings.

Current report

Cost of subscription revenue increased $10.0 million, or 24%, during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to increases of $4.1 million in personnel-related and stock-based compensation costs, $3.1 million in technology expenses, $2.6 million in amortization of internally developed software related to the release of new features and significant updates on our platform, all attributable to Company growth, and $0.2 million in costs associated with premium membership offerings.

Current report

Subscription gross margin increased to 86% during the year ended December 31, 2025 from 85% during the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to price increases for new and existing Life360 subscriptions implemented during the second half of 2024 and continuing into 2025, consistent with the increase in ARPPC. Subscription gross margin also benefited from ongoing technology efficiency initiatives implemented by the Company. Please refer to “Key Performance Indicators” for definitions of KPIs.

Current report

Cost of hardware revenue increased by $4.0 million, or 8%, during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. This was driven by increases of $3.9 million in tariff costs due to increases in tariff rates and changes in product mix, and $0.5 million in product and other costs due to a 7% increase in net hardware units shipped. Additional increases include $2.5 million in personnel-related and stock-based compensation costs, attributable to Company growth. The increases were partially offset by decreases of $1.7 million in freight costs and $1.2 million in fulfillment costs, both related to a shift in channel mix.

Current report

Sales and marketing expenses increased $41.6 million, or 37%, during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. This was primarily due to increases of $16.8 million in commissions to the Company’s Channel Partners, in line with the increase in subscription revenue, and $14.4 million in growth media spend to support strategic initiatives. Additional increases include $7.9 million in personnel-related and stock-based compensation costs, $1.3 million in marketing and other spend related to production and public relations, and $1.2 million in technology expenses, all attributable to Company growth.

Current report

General and administrative expenses increased $17.9 million, or 30%, during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. This was primarily due to increases of $12.2 million in personnel-related and stock-based compensation costs, $1.0 million in technology expenses, and $0.7 million in insurance and other costs, all attributable to Company growth. Additional increases include $2.0 million in professional and outside services spend, primarily driven by transaction costs incurred related to acquisitions, $1.3 million for travel and entertainment costs primarily related to the Company’s annual event, and $0.7 million in warehouse relocation costs related to the move of certain hardware manufacturing operations.

Current report

In April and June 2024, the September 2021 Convertible Notes and the July 2021 Convertible Notes, respectively, were converted to common stock. As a result, the Company recorded no gain or loss associated with the Convertible Notes fair value adjustment for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company recorded a $0.6 million loss associated with the Convertible Notes fair value adjustment for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Current report

In April 2025, an observable price change related to the conversion of the Related Party SAFE into the Related Party Investment took place. As a result, a $0.9 million gain related to the observable price change was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Current report

In addition, in May 2025, the Company entered into a series of transactions with Aura, which included a $25.0 million convertible note investment by the Company into Aura. The Company elected to apply the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825, Financial Instruments. As a result, a $0.3 million loss related to the revaluation of the Convertible Note Investment was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Current report

Other income (expense), net includes U.S. IPO transaction costs, foreign exchange gains and losses, and interest expense associated with the July 2021 Convertible Notes and the convertible notes issued to investors in June 2025 (the “June 2025 Convertible Notes”).

Current report

Other income (expense), net increased $6.7 million, or 93%, during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. This was primarily driven by a $5.6 million decrease in transaction costs incurred in the prior period in connection with our U.S. IPO, a $1.9 million increase in foreign exchange gains, and a $0.3 million decrease in other costs. This was partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in interest expense related to the June 2025 Convertible Notes.

Current report

Our income tax benefit consisted primarily of a $118.4 million benefit related to the release of a valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred tax assets during the year ended December 31, 2025. We regularly assess the need for a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. In making this assessment, we consider both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2025, based on all available positive and negative evidence, having demonstrated sustained U.S. profitability, which is objective and verifiable, and taking into account anticipated future earnings, we have concluded it is more likely than not that we will realize our U.S. federal and states deferred tax assets, with the exception of California state and Canadian tax credits. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets as they have not met the “more likely than not” realization criterion.

Current report

ARPPC is a key indicator utilized by the Company to determine our effectiveness at monetizing Paying Circles through tiered product offerings. The year-over-year growth in ARPPC primarily reflects U.S. price increases for new and existing annual subscribers implemented in the second half of 2024 and continuing into 2025, a shift in product mix toward higher-priced offerings, and the introduction of higher-priced membership tiers across select international markets throughout 2024 and 2025.

Current report

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Life360 sold approximately 4.2 million and 3.9 million, respectively, representing a 7% increase year-over-year. The increase in net hardware units shipped was primarily due to an increase in online retail sales.

Current report

For the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by financing activities was $282.1 million, which primarily related to net proceeds of $320.0 million from the issuance of the June 2025 Convertible Notes offset by payments of $10.9 million for debt issuance costs. In connection with the issuance of the June 2025 Convertible Notes, the Company paid $33.7 million in capped call transactions. Refer to Note 8, "Convertible Notes" for more information on the June 2025 Convertible Notes and the June 2025 Capped Calls. Financing activities also included $62.8 million of employee taxes paid for the net settlement of equity awards, offset by $69.5 million of proceeds related to employee tax withholdings on restricted stock settlements and the exercise of stock options and warrants.

Current report

Management is required to exercise judgment in determining our provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes is determined by taking into account guidance related to uncertain tax positions. Judgment is required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items.

Current report

Deferred tax assets are amounts available to reduce income taxes payable on taxable income in future years and are initially recognized at enacted tax rates. We regularly assess the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. In making that assessment, we consider both positive and negative evidence related to the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax assets as well as the nature of the deferred tax attribute to determine, based on the weight of available evidence, whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the valuation allowance was released on U.S. and state deferred tax assets, with the exception of California state and Canadian tax credits, due to positive evidence that the assets are more likely than not to be realized in future years. The Company will continue to assess all available evidence during future periods to evaluate any changes to the realization of its deferred tax assets. All of the factors that the Company considers in evaluating whether and when to establish or release all or a portion of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance involve significant judgment.

Current report

Although we believe that we have adequately reserved for our uncertain tax positions, we can provide no assurance that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be materially different. We make adjustments to these reserves when facts and circumstances change, such as the closing of a tax audit or the refinement of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences may affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made and could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Previous report

Sales and marketing expenses increased $14.3 million, or 14%, during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.

Previous report

General and administrative expense increased $8.1 million, or 15%, during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.

In addition, the Company saw a $3.5 million increase in professional and outside service costs driven by public company compliance costs in connection with the U.S. IPO, ongoing public company compliance costs, and corporate and strategic matters.

Previous report

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded losses associated with the convertible notes fair value adjustment of $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The changes in fair value were primarily driven by the share price volatility and reduction in time to convert.

ARPPC is a key indicator utilized by Life360 to determine our effectiveness at monetizing Paying Circles through tiered product offerings. U.S. ARPPC has benefited from price increases for existing U.S. Android Life360 subscriptions that took effect during the three months ended June 30, 2023 as well as a shift in product mix towards higher priced products.

The positive impacts seen from the price increases were partially offset by an increase in international subscribers, which overall, have lower priced subscriptions.

Seasonality. We experience seasonality in our member growth, engagement, Paying Circles growth and monetization on our platform. Life360 has historically experienced member and subscription growth in the United States in the third quarter of each calendar year, driven by the back to school period for many of our members. Hardware sales have historically experienced comparatively higher seasonal growth in the fourth quarter of each calendar year, which includes the important selling periods in November (Black Friday and Cyber Monday) and December (Christmas and Hanukkah) in large part due to seasonal holiday demand. As the majority of revenue is generated within the United States, our seasonality primarily relates to U.S. events. Accordingly, an unexpected decrease in sales over those traditionally high-volume selling periods may impact our revenue, result in surplus inventory and could have a disproportionate effect on our operating results for the entire fiscal year. Seasonality in our business can also be affected by introductions of new or enhanced products and services, including the costs associated with such introductions.
