- Q1'26 research and development costs increased 29% YoY, primarily driven by higher personnel-related and technology costs due to Company growth and the acquisition of Nativo.
- Q1'26 sales and marketing costs increased 62% YoY, primarily driven by a strategic increase in growth media spend to support new initiatives, higher app store commissions (commissions paid to our channel partners), which represent over one-third of total sales and marketing expense and increased in line with subscription revenue growth, and an increase in sales force personnel-related and other costs in connection with the acquisition of Nativo.
- Q1'26 general and administrative expenses increased 43% YoY, primarily driven by higher personnel-related costs attributable to Company growth, warehouse relocation costs, and Nativo integration costs.

Life360 ended Q1'26 with cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of$352.9 million , a decrease of$143 .0 million from Q4’25, reflecting cash used for the acquisition of Nativo and the purchase of short-term investments.- Q1'26 operating cash flow was
$17 .2 million. This was offset by$163 .6 million used in investing activities primarily related to purchases of short-term investments and the acquisition of Nativo. Financing activities provided an additional$3 .4 million primarily from the monetization of tariff refund claims and the exercise of stock options. - Q1'26 net cash provided by operating activities of
$17 .2 million was higher than Adjusted EBITDA of$17.1 million primarily due to the timing of receipts and payables. See the Adjusted EBITDA section below for the definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA. - Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash increased
$182 .5 million YoY. The increase was primarily driven by net proceeds from the issuance of theJune 2025 convertible notes and cumulative positive operating cash flow. This was primarily offset by$106 .4 million in purchases of short-term investments and$55 .6 million of net cash paid for the acquisition of Nativo.
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) loss on change in fair value of investment, (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, and (ix) 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:

- Q1'26 delivered Adjusted EBITDA of

Earnings Guidance22
For FY’26,
- MAU growth of 17% to 20%, weighted toward the second half of the year;
- Consolidated revenue of
$650 million to$685 million (YoY growth of 33% to 40%), increased from the previous range of$640 million to$680 million comprised of:- Subscription revenue of
$470 million to$475 million increased from$460 million to$470 million ; - Hardware revenue of
$40 million to$50 million (unchanged); - Advertising revenue of
$98 million to$115 million (unchanged); - Other revenue of
$42 million to$45 million (unchanged);
- Subscription revenue of
- Adjusted EBITDA2 of
$130 million to$140 million , increased from the previous range of$128 million to$138 million , which represents a margin of approximately 20%. As previously disclosed, due to timing of investments to support our growth, and typical seasonality, we anticipate Adjusted EBITDA to be lightly weighted in the first half of 2026, and heavily weighted in the second half of 2026.

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, 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. 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.
