SEC filingRevenue grew 36% YoY driven by subscription strength; net income turned positive on operating leverage and non-recurring gains.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, total revenue increased 36% year-over-year to $115.4 million, driven by strong subscription growth. Subscription revenue rose 35% to $88.6 million, fueled by a 25% increase in Paying Circles and price increases implemented in the second half of 2024. Hardware revenue grew modestly by 3% to $12.3 million, as a $2.7 million increase from online retail sales (21% more units shipped) was partially offset by a $1.1 million reduction from bundled offerings and higher discounts. Other revenue doubled to $14.5 million, led by a $4.9 million increase in partnership/advertising revenue and a $2.3 million increase in data revenue from the expanded Placer.ai agreement.
Gross profit rose 42% to $90.5 million, with gross margin expanding to 78% from 75% in the prior year. Subscription gross margin improved to 85% (from 84%) due to price increases, while hardware gross margin held flat at 17%. Other gross margin increased to 89% (from 87%) as revenue growth outpaced cost increases.
Operating expenses increased 34% to $88.5 million, in line with revenue growth. Sales and marketing expenses rose 60% to $38.9 million, driven by higher growth media spend and Channel Partner commissions. Research and development and general and administrative expenses each increased 19%. Despite the expense growth, the company achieved operating income of $2.0 million, compared to an operating loss of $2.4 million in the prior year.
Net income was $7.0 million, a significant improvement from a net loss of $11.0 million in Q2 2024. The swing was aided by a $4.6 million increase in other income/expense, including a $1.3 million gain on change in fair value of investments and a $5.6 million decrease in IPO-related transaction costs.
Subscription remains the dominant segment, contributing 77% of total revenue. The 35% growth was driven by both volume (25% more Paying Circles) and pricing (8% ARPPC increase). Hardware revenue growth was modest at 3%, with a shift toward online retail and away from bundled offerings. Other revenue doubled, reflecting successful monetization of data and advertising partnerships.
Management expects cost of revenue to increase in absolute dollars as they invest in infrastructure to support member growth. Sales and marketing expenses are expected to increase in absolute dollars and fluctuate as a percentage of revenue, depending on campaign timing. The company believes existing cash and cash equivalents ($432.7 million as of June 30, 2025) and cash from operations will be sufficient for at least the next 12 months. No specific forward guidance was provided.
As of June 30, 2025, Life360's cash and cash equivalents totaled $432.7 million, a significant increase from $159.2 million at year-end 2024, driven by the $320 million convertible note issuance in June. Total debt stood at $309.3 million (net of $10.7 million unamortized issuance costs), representing the entire principal of the June 2025 Convertible Notes. Shareholders' equity was $366.7 million, up from $358.5 million at December 31, 2024, primarily from net income and stock-based compensation offset by the $33.7 million capped call purchase. The company also held $1.5 million in restricted cash, $25.4 million in a convertible note investment (Level 3 fair value), and $5.9 million in a related party investment.
Life360 reported total non-cancellable purchase commitments of $74.0 million as of June 30, 2025, consisting of cloud platform and contract manufacturer obligations. The timing is: $22.5 million in the remainder of 2025 (6 months), $25.5 million in 2026, and $26.0 million in 2027. There are no significant operating lease obligations beyond 2026 (remaining lease term 1.4 years, total lease liability $0.5 million). The company also has a $5.0 million related party SAFE that converted to equity during the period.
Life360 did not repurchase any shares or pay dividends during the period. The primary capital allocation activities were debt issuance and equity-linked transactions: (i) issuance of $320 million 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2030 (initial conversion price ~$80.97 per share), (ii) purchase of capped calls for $33.7 million to reduce potential dilution, (iii) $25 million convertible note investment in Aura, and (iv) $3.5 million cash consideration for the Fantix acquisition. Capital expenditures totaled $4.3 million (property, equipment, and internally developed software), representing 1.9% of six-month revenue.
The company operates as a single segment, with the CODM evaluating consolidated results. Revenue by geography shows heavy North American concentration: $100.1 million (86.7%) of Q2 2025 revenue, followed by Europe/Middle East/Africa ($8.8 million, 7.6%) and other international ($6.4 million, 5.6%). U.S. alone contributed 85% of total revenue. Revenue growth was driven by subscriptions ($88.6M in Q2 2025 vs $65.7M in Q2 2024, +35%) and other revenue ($14.5M vs $7.3M, +99%), while hardware grew modestly ($12.3M vs $11.9M, +3%).
Operating cash flow of $25.4M significantly exceeded net income of $11.4M, indicating high-quality earnings. Key non-cash adjustments include stock-based compensation ($25.1M) and depreciation ($5.9M). Capex intensity is low (capex/CFO = 17%), with $4.3M spent on software and equipment. Working capital consumed $16.4M, primarily from increased prepaids and lower payables. Financing was heavily influenced by the issuance of $320M in convertible notes (net of costs ~$310M), used partly to purchase capped calls ($33.7M). No share repurchases or dividends were made. The prior-year period had negative net income and lower CFO, reflecting a transition to profitability and growth.
