SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Life360, Inc. (Life360 or the Company) (NASDAQ: LIF, ASX: 360), the provider of the market-leading family connection and safety mobile application, today announced unaudited financial results for the second quarter (Q2’26) ended June 30, 2026.

Building on the momentum of prior quarters, the Company achieved record-breaking results with its highest-ever Q2 Paying Circle net additions and record Total Revenue, driven by outstanding results in both Subscription and Advertising Revenue, while Monthly Active Users (MAU) returned to the growth trajectory the Company outlined last quarter.

"This quarter, Life360 crossed 100 million monthly active users—proof of the trust millions of families place in us to stay connected, coordinated, and safe," said Life360 Chief Executive Officer Lauren Antonoff. "Disciplined execution drove strong Paying Circle growth and put MAU back on the growth trajectory we outlined last quarter. With the Life360 Ads Platform integration largely complete, we’re now focused on building awareness and commercial momentum. In Q3, we’re furthering our commitment to serve all life stages—from pet parents to kids and aging adults—reinforcing our position as the platform that makes everyday family life better."

"Life360 delivered strong growth and financial performance in Q2’26," said Chief Financial Officer Russell Burke. "Quarterly revenue grew 38% year-over-year to $159.0 million, and our Annualized Monthly Revenue of $537.2 million was up 29% year-over-year on the back of strong subscription growth globally. Advertising Revenue reached a record $22.0 million in the quarter as the Life360 Advertising Platform continues to gain momentum post integration."

"We ended Q2’26 with $467.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments, and we generated operating cash flows of $23.8 million, up 79% year-over-year."

"Looking ahead, we expect revenue growth acceleration into the back half of 2026. Continued strength in our core subscription business and our advertising platform entering its strongest seasonal window will drive Total Revenue growth. We will continue to invest in strategic initiatives including international expansion, advertising platform scaling, our AI labs and product innovation, while remaining committed to balancing growth investment with margin expansion."

Operating Results

Revenue

• Q2'26 total subscription revenue increased 31% YoY to $115.6 million, primarily driven by 27% growth in Paying Circles and 5% uplift in ARPPC.
• Q2'26 hardware revenue decreased 20% YoY to $9.8 million, primarily driven by an 18% decrease in net hardware units shipped.
• Q2'26 advertising revenue increased 315% YoY to $22.0 million, primarily driven by new advertising offerings following the acquisition of Nativo.
• Q2'26 other revenue increased 25% YoY to $11.6 million due to higher data revenue, primarily attributable to increased data volumes resulting from user growth, as well as an increase in partnership revenue, primarily driven by higher revenue share from existing partners.
  
  

Core Subscription Revenue

• Core subscription revenue represents GAAP subscription revenue from the Life360 mobile application and excludes subscription revenue from non-core offerings, including hardware-related subscriptions, for the reported period. Core subscription revenue represents revenue derived from, and the overall success of, our core product offering. Q2'26 core subscription revenue increased 34% YoY primarily driven by a 27% YoY increase in Paying Circles and a 5% higher ARPPC.¹⁴
  
  

Gross Profit

• Q2'26 gross margin increased to 80% from 78% in the prior year, primarily due to improved subscription and hardware gross margins, which included receipt of tariff refund claims, and partially offset by lower advertising gross margin driven by a shift in margin mix following the expansion of our advertising platform through the Nativo acquisition.
  
  

Operating Expenses

• Q2'26 operating expenses increased 43% YoY, primarily reflecting higher personnel-related costs due to Company growth and the acquisition of Nativo, as well as higher app store commissions (commissions paid to our channel partners) in line with subscription revenue growth, partially offset by a decrease in growth media spend. As a result, operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 80% from 77%.
• Q2'26 research and development costs increased 47% YoY, primarily driven by higher personnel-related and technology costs due to Company growth and the acquisition of Nativo, as well as workplace restructuring costs associated with the Company's transition to an AI-Native organization.
• Q2'26 sales and marketing costs increased 35% YoY, primarily due to higher personnel costs and intangible asset amortization from the Nativo acquisition, along with higher app store commissions tied to subscription revenue growth, and partially offset by lower growth media costs due to the planned timing of spend.
• Q2'26 general and administrative expenses increased 57% YoY, primarily due to higher personnel-related and technology costs attributable to Company growth, as well as warehouse relocation costs related to the move of certain hardware manufacturing operations.
  
  

Cash Flow

• During Q2'26, 314,762 treasury shares for $13.2 million were repurchased in accordance with the approved multi-year $225.0 million share repurchase program. $211.8 million remained available under the authorization., a decrease of $83.1 million from Q1’26, primarily due to purchases of short-term investments and treasury stock repurchases, partially offset by net cash provided by operating activities.
• Q2'26 operating cash flow was $23.8 million. This was offset by $92.7 million used in investing activities primarily for purchases of short-term investments, and $14.2 million used in financing activities, primarily due to treasury stock repurchases.
• Q2'26 net cash provided by operating activities of $23.8 million was lower than Adjusted EBITDA of $31.1 million primarily due to the timing of receipts and payables. See the Adjusted EBITDA section below for the definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA.
• Q2’26 Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash decreased $164.4 million YoY. The decrease was primarily driven by $214.1 million in purchases of short-term investments, $55.6 million of net cash paid for the acquisition of Nativo, and $13.2 million of treasury stock purchases, partially offset by the positive operating cash flows generated.
  
  

Adjusted EBITDA

To supplement our 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, excluding (i) gain (loss) on change in fair value of investments, (ii) benefit from income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) interest income, (v) other income (expense), net, (vi) acquisition-related transaction and integration costs, (vii) stock-based compensation, (viii) channel restructuring costs, (ix) workplace restructuring costs, and (x) warehouse relocation costs. 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, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA:

• Q2'26 delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $31.1 million, up 53% from $20.3 million in Q2’25, driven by continued strong subscription and advertising revenue growth.

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, 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, warehouse relocation costs, channel restructuring costs, and acquisition-related transaction and integration costs.
