Life360 Reports Q3 2026 Results

Record third quarter global net Paying Circle additions of 188 thousand, reaching 3.4 million

Monthly Active User additions of 5.3 million, reaching 107.7 million

Total revenue grew 40% year-over-year to $174.1 million

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 09, 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 third quarter (Q3'26) ended September 30, 2026.

Life360 delivered strong quarterly results, with its highest-ever net Paying Circle additions for a third quarter, and international Monthly Active Users (MAU) crossing over the 50 million mark.

“Life360 continues to demonstrate its invaluable place in everyday family life and translate that into meaningful value for our shareholders. Our impressive third quarter operating and financial results are a direct reflection of the trust families place in us to keep them connected and safe,” said Life360 Chief Executive Officer Lauren Antonoff. “We saw healthy MAU growth in Q3, with 5.3 million net new active members bringing us to 107.7 million MAU globally, and we added a third-quarter record of 188,000 net new Paying Circles. Our subscription engine continues to get even stronger, and early results from our U.S. price changes are encouraging. In advertising, we’re building the foundation for a much larger business, with growing proof points from leading brands providing positive signals for 2027. Meanwhile, as consumers adopt personal AI assistants, we’re making Life360’s family intelligence available to third-party AI agents to simplify everyday coordination through the tools families already use. Members decide whether to share their Circle’s information with an agent. We believe AI agents are a meaningful opportunity to increase the value we deliver.”

"As foreshadowed in our Q2’26 results, Q3’26 delivered revenue growth acceleration, along with moderating operating expense growth following a period of investment in the first half," said Chief Financial Officer Russell Burke. "Quarterly revenue grew 40% year-over-year to $174.1 million. Looking ahead to Q4’26, we expect continued revenue momentum underpinned by recent subscription price increases and the seasonal uplift in advertising, combined with cost efficiency and seasonally lower growth media spend. We expect strengthening operating leverage as we continue to balance growth investment with our commitment to margin expansion.

"We ended Q3’26 with $465.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments, and we generated operating cash flows of $27.2 million, up 3% year-over-year. Following the announcement of our share repurchase program in May 2026, we have repurchased shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase consideration of $44.4 million, leaving approximately $180.6 million available for future repurchases under the program. This is in line with our commitment to return value to our shareholders and reflects the same disciplined approach we outlined when the Board authorized the program. We plan to offset dilution measured by stock-based compensation expense on a rolling 12 month basis from the launch of the program. We will remain opportunistic and retain the flexibility to adjust the pace and timing to market conditions.”

• Total Q3'26 revenue of $174.1 million, a YoY increase of 40%, with total subscription revenue of $124.2 million, up 29% YoY and core subscription revenue¹ of $119.9 million, up 32% YoY.

• Q3'26 total subscription revenue increased 29% YoY to $124.2 million, primarily driven by 26% growth in Paying Circles and a 4% uplift in ARPPC.¹⁴
• Q3'26 hardware revenue decreased 20% YoY to $9.0 million, primarily driven by a 32% decrease in net hardware units shipped due to the impact of the exit from brick-and-mortar retail.
• Q3'26 advertising revenue increased 250% YoY to $25.4 million, primarily driven by growth in managed advertising revenue¹⁵ following the acquisition of Nativo.
• Q3'26 other revenue increased 61% YoY to $15.5 million, primarily driven by higher partnership revenue, and higher data revenue due to increased data volumes from user growth.

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. Q3'26 core subscription revenue increased 32% YoY primarily driven by a 26% YoY increase in Paying Circles and a 4% higher ARPPC.¹⁴

• Q3'26 gross margin decreased to 77% from 78% in the prior year, primarily due to lower advertising gross margin driven by a shift in margin mix following the expansion of our advertising platform through the Nativo acquisition. This was partially offset by improved subscription gross margin from a shift toward higher-priced offerings.

• Q3'26 operating expenses increased 38% YoY, primarily reflecting higher personnel-related costs due to Company growth and the acquisition of Nativo, as well as higher app store commissions and growth media spend. Operating expenses as a percentage of revenue decreased to 72% from 73% in Q3’25 and from 80% in Q2’26 as we continue to drive operating leverage.
• Q3'26 research and development costs increased 25% YoY, primarily driven by higher personnel-related and technology costs due to Company growth and the acquisition of Nativo.
• Q3'26 sales and marketing costs increased 52% 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 increased growth media costs due to the planned timing of spend to support strategic initiatives.
• Q3'26 general and administrative expenses increased 30% YoY, primarily due to Company growth, including higher personnel-related costs and increased travel and entertainment expenses.

• During Q3'26, 666,336 treasury shares were repurchased for an aggregate amount of $31.2 million in accordance with the approved multi-year $225.0 million share repurchase program. $180.6 million remains available under the authorization.
• Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased $66.1 million from Q2’26, primarily due to proceeds from sales and maturities of short-term investments and net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by treasury stock repurchases.
• Q3'26 net cash provided by operating activities of $27.2 million was lower than Adjusted EBITDA of $34.6 million primarily due to the timing of receipts and payables. See the Adjusted EBITDA section below for the definition and reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA.
• Q3'26 cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash decreased $121.4 million YoY. The decrease was primarily driven by $128.5 million in net purchases of short-term investments, $57.1 million of cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, primarily related to the acquisition of Nativo, and $44.4 million of share repurchases, partially offset by positive operating cash flows.

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 on change in fair value of investments, (ii) provision for (benefit from) income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) interest income, (v) other 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:

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 or infrequent 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.

These items include, but are not limited to, litigation costs and fair value adjustments. These items may be material to our results calculated in accordance with GAAP.
