SAN FRANCISCO, May 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — San Francisco area-based Life360, Inc. (Life360 or the Company) (ASX: 360) today reported unaudited financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023.  Life360 Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Chris Hulls said: “The Life360 business has continued to deliver impressive growth metrics, with Global MAU up 33% YoY and AMR up 44% to $239.5 million. Paying Circles returned to growth in Q1’23, with Global net subscriber additions of 73 thousand, ahead of the 69 thousand achieved in Q1’22, a very positive result given the size of the price increases implemented in Q4’22. International Paying Circles increased 50% YoY, with net adds at close to all-time record levels. UK Paying Circles increased 64% YoY, a very encouraging sign ahead of our Membership launch later this year.

“Price increases for existing U.S. Android subscribers rolled out in April, and due to expected one-time churn U.S. net adds will be more muted in Q2. However monthly iOS subscriber churn has already returned to normal following a short-term spike after the Q4’22 price increases. This resilience makes us confident that  the Android impact will be similarly short-lived. We expect U.S. net subscriber additions to accelerate in Q3,  a testament to the enormous value provided by our Membership offering. Q1’23 U.S. ARPPC of $140 increased 43% YoY, reflecting the benefit of price increases introduced for new and existing iOS subscribers and new Android subscribers.  We see further upside as these are rolled out to existing Android subscribers, with early trends in line with the iOS experience.

“The Tile Membership bundling is fully rolled out in the U.S. market, and we are excited about opportunities over time to improve paid user conversion and retention. While it is early days, we are excited by what appears to be a material improvement in retention, which is the signal we were hoping for at launch. The international rollout of Tiles on the Life360 map is also underway, with completion expected in coming days. This further closes the gap to the U.S. user experience as part of our International growth strategy.

“Tile’s hardware revenue increased 3% YoY. Our primary focus is on driving subscription revenue rather than stand-alone retail sales, and this YoY growth was achieved despite significant reductions in Hardware headcount, marketing and R&D expenses. We will continue to be disciplined in regard to our Hardware spend as part of our emphasis on cash flow. Despite this conservative level of investment, we are continuing to make meaningful improvements to our devices line-up, including our Anti-Theft mode and use case bundles.

“In March we provided guidance for Life360 to achieve Adjusted EBITDA profitability from Q2’23 onwards and for full year CY23. We have achieved this milestone a quarter early, with Q1’23 positive Adjusted EBITDA of $0.5 million. The impact of price increases combined with better than expected net subscriber additions delivered ongoing strong momentum in subscription revenue. This positive trend, coupled with the impact of additional cost efficiencies implemented in January, supported the achievement of our Adjusted profitability target ahead of schedule. In a time of macro uncertainty we are focused on balancing fiscal responsibility with prudent investment to position the business for long-term success. We have a strong balance sheet, with cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents of $76.1 million at March 2023 quarter end.”

Ms. Antonoff’s impressive track record at Microsoft includes leading the effort to make SharePoint a tool people love to use to get work done, and founding the Step Up Program to increase the number of women in senior management roles. Commenting on her appointment, Ms. Antonoff said: “I’m delighted to step into a role dedicated to helping families protect and connect loved ones, pets, and the things they care about. I’m energized by the passion and talent that has grown the company to this point and eager to lean in to support the next wave of growth..”

With the exception of AMR, metrics presented for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are adjusted to include pre-acquisition data for Tile related to periods before the acquisition of Tile on January 5, 2022.

We use Annualized Monthly Revenue (“AMR”) to identify the annualized monthly value of active customer agreements at the end of a reporting period. AMR includes the annualized monthly value of subscription, data and partnership agreements. All components of these agreements that are not expected to recur are excluded.

7

Metrics presented as of March 31, 2022 have been recast to reflect the calculations under a revised metric definition. We previously calculated Subscriptions and Paying Circles by including subscribers who had been billed as well as whose billing status was pending as of the end of the period. We have since revised our definition of these metrics to exclude subscribers whose billing status was pending as of the end of the period. Although the difference between the two methodologies does not result in any material changes, we have changed the definition of the metric because we believe it provides a better reflection of our results during a given period.  Refer to Appendix A for additional information.
  • Global MAU increased 33% YoY to 50.8 million, with net additions of 2.2 million. U.S. MAU increased 26% YoY, with net adds of 0.7 million. International MAU increased 44% with net adds of 1.5 million. Australian MAU increased 43% YoY to 1.5 million.
  • Paying Circles returned to strong growth in Q1 following a stable performance in Q4’22 which felt the full impact of significant price changes undertaken over the course of Q3’22 and Q4’22 for new and existing U.S. iOS subscribers. Net additions of 73 thousand were achieved in Q1’23, with U.S. Paying Circles increasing 15% YoY despite the price increases, and International Paying Circles up 50% YoY. Cumulative new and upsell subscribers in the U.S. Membership plans were 856 thousand, up 37% YoY, comprising Silver 11%, Gold 84% and Platinum 6% of total.
  • Global ARPPC increased 36% YoY reflecting a full quarterly benefit of U.S. price increases implemented during Q4’22. International ARPPC increased 10% YoY.
  • Net Hardware Units Shipped reduced 66% from the prior quarter in line with the usual seasonality of the business, reducing 17% YoY due to continued weak consumer electronics demand. The Company’s strategy to improve retail economics supported a 14% increase in ASP resulting from lower levels of promotions.

  • Life360 ended Q1’23 with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $76.1 million.
  • Net cash used in operating activities was $9.2 million. The differential to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.5 million was largely due to the cash costs of severance payments associated with the workforce reduction implemented during Q1, seasonally higher payments related to inventory purchases in Q4’22, and other working capital changes.
  • Net cash used in investing activities was $0.4 million which related to the capitalization of internally used software expenses.
  • Net cash used in financing activities of $4.7 million largely relates to taxes paid for the settlement of equity awards offset by the proceeds of option exercise.

Earnings Guidance9

For CY23, Life360 expects to deliver:

  • Core Life360 subscription revenue growth (excluding Tile and Jiobit) in excess of 50% YoY;
  • Hardware revenue growth of 0% to 5%;
  • Other revenue of approximately $26 million;
  • Consolidated revenue of $300 million – $310 million;
  • Positive Adjusted EBITDA and Operating Cash Flow of $5 million – $10 million, with positive Adjusted EBITDA for each quarter of CY23, and positive Operating Cash Flow anticipated on a quarterly basis beginning with Q2’23 and for full CY23.10

9

In regard 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.

Adjusted EBITDA was previously referred to as Underlying EBITDA. For definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and the use of these non-GAAP measures, as well as 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 (benefit) for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) other income (expense). Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss, excluding (i) convertible notes and derivative liability fair value adjustments, (ii) provision (benefit) for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) other income (expense), (v) stock-based compensation, (vi) acquisition and integration costs, (vii) non-recurring workplace restructuring costs, (viii)  inventory write-off, and (ix) (gain)/loss 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:

Appendix A: Historical KPIs

We previously calculated Subscriptions and Paying Circles by including subscribers whose billing status was both pending or completed as of the end of the period. We have since revised our definition of these metrics to exclude subscribers whose billing status was pending as of the end of the period. Although the difference between the two methodologies does not result in any material changes, we have changed the definition of the metric because we believe it provides a better reflection of our results during a given period. The table below includes historical metrics which have been recast to reflect the new definition.
