What they do

Life360 operates a freemium mobile app that offers location sharing, driving safety, digital safety, and emergency assistance.

Revenue drivers

• Subscriptions — Core revenue source: $369.3M in 2025 (75% of total revenue), from Life360 and Tile paid plans, recognized ratably over monthly or annual terms.
• Hardware — Sale of Tile and Pet GPS devices and accessories; $51.8M in 2025 (11% of revenue), recognized at delivery, sold via website and retail.
• Advertising — Fees from in-app display ads and sponsored placements; part of 'other revenue' ($68.4M in 2025, 14% of total), driven by impressions and rates.
• Data & partnerships — Revenue from a key data partner for location analytics and partnerships granting access to anonymized data; included in other revenue.

Recent performance

In 2025, revenue grew 32% to $489.5M, and net income swung to $150.8M from a $4.6M loss in 2024. Q2 2026 revenue was $159.0M, up from $124.5M in Q2 2025. Operating cash flow for 2025 was $88.6M. As of December 31, 2025, MAU was 95.8 million (up 20% YoY) and Paying Circles were 2.8 million (up 26% YoY).

Strategy

Management focuses on monetizing the existing member base through premium subscription tiers, expanding hardware ecosystem with Tile and Pet GPS, and growing advertising and data partnerships. They aim to increase engagement and conversion of free users to paying circles. The company plans to continue investing in platform features like driving safety and digital safety, and may adjust pricing per country. They also expect cost of revenue to rise with member growth.

Risks

• Member retention and growth — Failure to retain or add members, or reduced engagement, could materially harm revenue and results.
• Competition and brand value — Inability to compete effectively or maintain brand reputation could impair member base expansion and partner relationships.
• Dependence on third-party channels — Changes by retailers, platforms, or publishers in distribution or advertising policies could restrict business or raise costs.
• Supply chain concentration — Manufacturing is concentrated with Jabil in Malaysia and China; disruptions or legal uncertainties there could affect hardware supply.

Outlook

Management expects continued revenue growth driven by subscription expansion and new monetization features such as advertising. They anticipate cost of revenue will increase in absolute dollars. Forward-looking statements in the 10-K highlight plans to penetrate the member base, expand internationally, and introduce new products and services, though they caution that actual results may vary materially due to risks.
