Life360 Reports Record Q3 2025 Results

Monthly Active Users Reached Approximately 91.6 million; Up 19% Year-Over-Year
All-time record Global Net Additions of 170 thousand Paying Circles, Reaching 2.7 million Total
Total Quarterly Revenue Increased 34% Year-Over-Year to $124.5 million
Annualized Monthly Revenue Increased 33% Year-Over-Year to $446.7 million
Raising Full-Year Outlook for Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Life360, Inc. (Life360 or the Company) (NASDAQ: LIF, ASX: 360), the provider of the market leading family safety and connection mobile application, today announced unaudited financial results for the third quarter (Q3) ended September 30, 2025.

Life360 delivered record results across multiple key metrics, including Monthly Active Users (MAUs), Paying Circles, Net Paying Circle Additions, Subscription Revenue, and Annualized Monthly Revenue (AMR). The Company also reported continued margin expansion and raised full-year guidance for both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.

The Company also announced today in a separate press release that it has entered into an agreement to acquire Nativo, an advertising technology company, for approximately $120 million in a combination of cash and stock, subject to customary closing conditions.

Life360 Chief Executive Officer Lauren Antonoff stated: “Life360 delivered another record quarter in Q3 as more families made us part of their daily routines during the back-to-school season, driving strong gains in Paying Circles. Our strategy to build a platform that’s relevant to more families in more ways continues to deliver— expanding from location and safety into richer everyday experiences that keep families connected and protected. We’re leaning into momentum across the U.S. and international markets with the launch of our Pet GPS that puts furry family members on the map in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia and New Zealand as we head into the holiday gifting season. With significant runways for growth and innovation ahead, we’re just getting started.”

Life360 Chief Financial Officer Russell Burke added: “Revenue grew 34% year-over-year (YoY) to $124.5 million and Adjusted EBITDA rose 174% YoY to $24.5 million, reflecting disciplined expense management and durable unit economics. While Q3 standalone hardware gross profit and margin were affected by tariff-related costs, we have taken steps to mitigate that impact going forward. With strong core subscription performance, a resilient balance sheet, and our tenth consecutive quarter of positive operating cash flow, we’re raising full-year guidance for both revenue and Adjusted EBITDA.”

Q3'25 Financial Highlights

  • Total Q3'25 revenue of $124.5 million, a YoY increase of 34%, with total subscription revenue of $96.3 million, up 34% YoY and core subscription revenue1 of $90.7 million, up 37% YoY.
  • Annualized Monthly Revenue (AMR) of $446.7 million, up 33% YoY.

  • Positive Operating Cash Flow of $26.4 million, up 319% YoY.
  • Quarter-end cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $457.2 million, an increase of $297.0 million from Q3'24, which was primarily the result of net capital raised from the issuance of the June 2025 convertible notes.

Q3'25 Operating Highlights

  • Q3'25 global MAU net additions of 3.7 million lifted total MAUs to approximately 91.6 million, up 19% YoY.

  • Average Revenue Per Paying Circle (ARPPC) increased 8% YoY primarily due to 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.

  • Q3'25 total subscription revenue increased 34% YoY to $96.3 million, primarily driven by growth in Paying Circles.
  • Q3'25 hardware revenue decreased 4% YoY to $11.3 million as higher unit shipments were more than offset by increased discounts and lower revenue related to bundled offerings.
  • Q3'25 other revenue increased 82% YoY to $16.9 million due to increases in data and partnership revenue, which includes advertising revenue, and is primarily due to an increased number of partners and higher spend under existing arrangements.

Core Subscription Revenue

  • Core subscription revenue is defined as GAAP subscription revenue derived from the Life360 mobile application and excludes non-core subscription revenue, which we define as GAAP subscription revenue from other hardware related subscription offerings, for the reported period.

Q3'25 core subscription revenue increased 37% YoY primarily driven by a 23% YoY increase in Paying Circles and an 8% higher ARPPC.13

  • Q3'25 research and development costs increased 12% YoY, primarily driven by higher personnel-related and technology costs due to Company growth.

  • Life360 ended Q3'25 with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $457.2 million, an increase of $23.0 million from Q2’25.
  • Q3'25 operating cash flow was $26.4 million. This was offset by $1.8 million used in investing activities for internally developed software and construction in progress, and $1.6 million used in financing activities related to costs associated with the issuance of the June 2025 convertible notes.
  • Q3'25 net cash provided by operating activities of $26.4 million was higher than Adjusted EBITDA of $24.5 million primarily due to the timing of receipts and payables. See the Adjusted EBITDA section below for the definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted EBITDA

To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to facilitate analysis of our financial and business trends and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. For more information, see the “Supplementary and Non-GAAP Financial Information” section below.

Non-GAAP financial measures include adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), excluding (i) convertible notes, derivative liability, and investment fair value adjustments, (ii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) interest income (v) other income, net, (vi) acquisition, investment, and IPO related transaction costs, (vii) stock-based compensation, (viii) workplace restructuring costs, and (ix) gains and losses on the settlement of convertible notes and derivative liabilities. These items are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA because they are non-cash in nature, because the amount and timing of these items are unpredictable, or because they are not driven by core results of operations and render comparisons with prior periods and competitors less meaningful.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA:

Supplementary and Non-GAAP Financial Information

We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP, however, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, and the other measures presented in the tables below 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 non-GAAP financial measures 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.

Our non-GAAP financial measures are presented for supplemental informational purposes only, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be used as substitutes for analysis of, or superior to, our operating results as reported under GAAP. Additionally, we do not consider our non-GAAP financial measures as superior to, or a substitute for, the equivalent measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. 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 income (loss) and our other GAAP results.

Non-GAAP cost of revenue is presented to understand margin economically and non-GAAP operating expenses are presented to understand operating efficiency. Non-GAAP cost of revenue and Non-GAAP operating expenses present direct and indirect expenses adjusted for non-cash expenses, such as stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, and non-recurring expenses, such as workplace restructuring costs, and transaction costs related to acquisitions, investments, and our IPO. A reconciliation of GAAP financial information to Non-GAAP financial information for cost of revenue and operating expenses has been provided as supplementary information below.
