Life360 reports CY 2023 results
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- San Francisco area-based Life360, Inc. (Life360 or the Company) (ASX: 360) today reported audited financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2023. Life360 Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Chris Hulls said: "We are incredibly proud that more than 61 million monthly active users (MAU) globally enjoy the peace of mind that comes with the location sharing and safety features of Life360. In CY23 we made significant strides in our member experience, showing our users what their family members are up to, whether they're driving, walking or biking. We put pets and other valuables on the map with Tile, all in the service of our mission to keep people close to the ones they love.
"At the same time we made meaningful progress on our path to profitability as we significantly reduced our net loss, and achieved a major milestone by delivering our first full year of positive Adjusted EBITDA1 and Operating Cash Flow. We are excited to continue building on our leading global position in location sharing, and see exciting opportunities in CY24 and beyond to broaden our reach and deepen engagement with our members. We look forward to bringing the benefits of our subscriptions to more markets globally, and creating new revenue streams that utilize the scale and quality of our member base.
"In 2023, we delivered on our commitment to balance fiscal responsibility and prudent investment to position the business for long-term success. We delivered YoY revenue growth of 33% while GAAP operating expenses increased only 4% YoY. We met or exceeded all of the guidance metrics we provided to the market for CY23."
Looking forward to CY24, we are excited to announce the creation of a new advertising revenue stream that offers partners unparalleled reach to Life360's enormous free user base, and more than 20 million daily active users (DAU) connecting with their families and friends. We have consistently spoken of the potential that our investment in the core user experience, and the scaling of our MAU base, would provide for the future. We are encouraged by the success of early testing and see the opportunity to deliver an attractive platform to advertisers, while continuing to provide a great user experience.

- Q4'23 Hardware revenue delivered a seasonal uplift versus Q3, increasing 8% YoY to $21.1 million driven by lower returns and channel marketing versus Q4'23. CY23 Non-GAAP hardware revenue6 growth of 14% was in line with guidance, with GAAP hardware revenue growth of 21% benefiting from the contribution from bundling.

- Q4'23 operating expenses increased 12% YoY, largely due to higher general and administrative costs primarily arising from increased accounting costs related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, and higher legal expenses. Commissions were higher YoY in line with the growth in subscription revenue. CY23 operating expenses increased 4% for the year, benefiting from a 1% reduction in R&D expenses which reflected cost reduction measures undertaken in Q1'23.

- Life360 ended Q4'23 with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $70.7 million, with unrestricted cash increasing by $7.1 million from Q3'23. Q4'23 operating cash flow of $9.0 million was offset by $1.0 million used in investing activities related to payments for internally developed software, and $0.9 million used in financing activities related to taxes paid for the net settlement of equity awards, offset by proceeds from the exercise of options.
- Q4'23 net cash provided by operating activities of $9.0 million was largely in line with Adjusted EBITDA of $8.9 million.
- In CY23, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $19.7 million from CY22. CY23 operating cash flow of $7.5 million was offset by $2.2 million used in investing activities and $25.0 million used in financing activities.
- CY23 cash provided by operating activities of $7.5 million saw a differential to Adjusted EBITDA of $20.6 million due to timing of receipts, manufacturing payments, and Q1 restructuring costs.
Earnings Guidance8
For CY24 Life360 expects to deliver the following metrics which include both the early revenue, and set-up costs, for the new advertising business:
- Consolidated revenue of $365 million - $375 million, with core Life360 subscription revenue growth of at least 20% YoY;
- Positive Adjusted EBITDA9 of $30 million - $35 million;
- EBITDA7 loss of $(8) million to $(13) million;
- Positive Operating Cash Flow for each quarter of CY24, with the usual seasonal low point in Q1;
- Year-end cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $80 million - $90 million.
The company expects to continue to be Adjusted EBITDA positive on a quarterly basis going forward, and to achieve positive EBITDA in the first half of CY25.
8 | 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. | |

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.

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 for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) other income, net. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss, excluding (i) convertible notes and derivative liability fair value adjustments, (ii) provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) other expense, net, (v) stock-based compensation, (vi) Form 10 transaction costs, (vii) acquisition and integration costs, (viii) workplace restructuring costs, (ix) inventory write-offs, (x) adjustment in connection with membership benefit, (xi) warehouse relocation costs and (xii) gain 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:
